I gain ten years' worth of cultivation every day, and even geniuses will only see my doorstep!

She looked at Qin Yuan.

"Are you sure you don't need me to protect you?"

Qin Yuan looked at her.

"Sure."

Chi Huo'er's face darkened completely.

"Alright. Then let me see what you're capable of."

She raised her hand and slapped Qin Yuan!

The palm print is like fire, burning the heavens and boiling the seas!

Qin Yuan neither retreated nor yielded, and met the attack with a punch!

The Great Chaos Handprint!

"boom!"

The two palms met, and a violent energy surged forth!

Chi Huo'er took three steps back!

Qin Yuan remained completely still!

Chi Huo'er's expression changed drastically.

"How is this possible?! You are a ninth-level Chaos God, how could you possibly withstand one of my palm strikes?!"

Qin Yuan did not answer.

He simply raised his right hand, pointing his index finger at Chi Huo'er.

Chi Huo'er's face turned deathly pale as she instinctively sensed a deadly threat!

"What...what are you going to do?!"

Qin Yuan said calmly.

"Let me show you what true strength is."

Just as he was about to point it out, he suddenly frowned.

In the distance, several powerful auras were rapidly approaching.

He withdrew his finger.

"I'll let it go this time. But next time, don't mess with me again."

He turned and continued walking towards the palace.

Behind him, Chi Huo'er stood still, her face a mixture of pale and ashen.

She, a princess of the Crimson Fire Divine Kingdom and a half-step Chaos God Emperor, was actually frightened by a mere ninth-level Chaos God Venerable.

Moreover, that person's finger made her feel the breath of death.

"Who... exactly is he?"

She murmured.

Qin Yuan arrived in front of the palace.

The palace was ten thousand feet tall, entirely cast from golden divine material, and four large characters were inscribed on its gate:

"The Relics of the Human Emperor"

He stepped into the palace.

The palace was empty except for a central altar.

On the altar, a phantom sat cross-legged.

The man's face was indistinct, but his aura was unfathomable.

The Daoist essence of the Human God Emperor.

"In ten thousand years, you are the first person to reach this place," the illusory figure spoke, its voice gentle. "Sit down."

Qin Yuan sat down cross-legged.

The phantom raised its hand, and a beam of golden light shot into his brow.

In an instant, countless insights about the Chaos God Emperor flooded into his mind.

The Chaos God Emperor is completely different from the Chaos God Venerable.

The cultivation of the Chaos God is the accumulation of chaotic power, merging oneself with the laws of chaos.

The cultivation of the Chaos God Emperor is about creating one's own Dao and becoming the embodiment of the Dao.

No matter how powerful the Chaos God is, he is merely a user of the laws.

The Chaos God-Emperor is the creator of the Dao.

Qin Yuan closed his eyes and pondered.

He opened his eyes after an unknown amount of time.

The Chaos God Emperor is about to break through.

But he didn't rush to make a breakthrough.

Because the phantom told him that there was an even greater opportunity deep within the secret realm.

"Go," the illusory figure said. "In the deepest part of the secret realm lies my complete legacy. If you can obtain it, you can directly reach the third level of the Chaos God Emperor realm."

Qin Yuan stood up and clasped his hands in a salute.

"Thank you, senior."

He turned and walked deeper into the palace.

Deep within the secret realm lies a golden ocean.

Countless islands float in the ocean, and each island has a palace.

Qin Yuan stepped onto an island and entered the palace.

Inside the palace, there was a jade slip.

He picked up the jade slip and probed it with his divine sense.

It is a divine power—the Emperor's Finger.

A Chaos God-Emperor level divine power, a flick of the finger can break all laws.

Qin Yuan accepted the money and continued on his way.

The second island, the third island, the fourth island...

Each island holds different treasures.

There are elixirs, magical treasures, cultivation techniques, and supernatural powers.

Qin Yuan accepted all of them without hesitation.

His storage ring was soon full.

On the seventh day, he arrived at the largest island in the middle of the ocean.

On the island stands a magnificent palace.

The palace was larger than all the previous palaces combined, and four large characters were inscribed on its gate:

"The Palace of the Human Emperor"

Qin Yuan took a deep breath and stepped inside.

Inside the palace, a figure sat cross-legged.

The person's face was clearly visible; it was the Human God Emperor in his youth.

The third level of the Chaos God Emperor.

"You've finally arrived," he said calmly. "I am an avatar left behind by the Human God Emperor, here specifically to await those destined to be chosen."

He looked at Qin Yuan.

"You are a ninth-level Chaos God, with a solid foundation and perfected Chaos Laws. Excellent, you are qualified to receive my complete inheritance."

He raised his hand, and a thick beam of golden light shot into Qin Yuan's brow.

That is the complete legacy of the Human God Emperor!

The complete version of "The Human Emperor's Secret"!

The complete version of "The Emperor's Finger"!

The complete version of "The Nine Transformations of the Human Emperor"!

And—the breakthrough method of the Chaos God Emperor!

A system notification sounded:

[Host detected to have obtained complete inheritance; daily cultivation gains permanently increased to 100 trillion trillion trillion years/day.]

[Energy Points: 17.65 trillion + 50 trillion from the Secret Realm = 67.65 trillion.]

[A breakthrough opportunity has been detected. Do you wish to immediately break through to the Chaos God Emperor realm?]

Qin Yuan took a deep breath.

"breakthrough."

As soon as he finished speaking, his aura began to surge!

Peak of the ninth level of Chaos God Venerable... First level of Chaos God Emperor!

breakthrough!

Dark clouds gathered in the sky.

The Chaos God Emperor's Heavenly Tribulation.

Qin Yuan walked out of the palace and looked up at the sky full of calamity clouds.

The first bolt of lightning struck down, as thick as a mountain, carrying a world-destroying force!

Qin Yuan neither dodged nor evaded, but threw a punch!

"boom!"

Heavenly lightning shattered!

The second, the third, the fourth...

Each one is stronger and more ferocious than the last!

Qin Yuan remained standing in place, shattering the heavenly thunder with each punch!

After the nine bolts of heavenly lightning, the tribulation clouds dispersed.

A golden light descended from the sky and enveloped him.

That is a gift from the laws of heaven and earth.

Qin Yuan closed his eyes and absorbed the information.

After a long while, he opened his eyes.

Chaos God Emperor Level 1, stable!

But he didn't stop.

Because within the legacy of the Human God Emperor, there are also methods to break through to the second and third levels of the Chaos God Emperor.

He sat down cross-legged and continued his cultivation.

One year later, he reached the second level of the Chaos God Emperor.

Three years later, he reached the third level of the Chaos God Emperor.

Five years later, he reached the peak of the third level of the Chaos God Emperor.

He stood up, his aura as deep and boundless as the ocean.

The third level of the Chaos God Emperor.

He is only one step away from becoming the God-Emperor.

But he knew that this step would require more time and opportunity.

He turned and walked out of the palace.

The moment he stepped out of the Emperor's Palace, he sensed several powerful auras approaching.

He looked up.

In the distance, five figures were flying rapidly towards them.

The leader was a young man in golden robes, a fourth-level Chaos God Emperor.

Behind him were four people, each of whom was at least at the first level of Chaos God Emperor.

People from the Heavenly Court.

The young man in the golden robe looked at Qin Yuan with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"A Chaos God Emperor at the third level? You're a prodigy of the Human God Court?"

Qin Yuan nodded.

The young man in the golden robe smiled.

"Not bad. This generation of prodigies in the Divine Court finally has someone decent."

He paused.

"However, your time ends here."

He raised his hand and slapped Qin Yuan!

The palm print was as large as the sky, carrying the terrifying pressure of a fourth-level Chaos God Emperor!

Qin Yuan neither retreated nor yielded, and met the attack with a punch!

The Great Chaos Handprint!

"boom!"

The two palms met, and a violent energy surged forth!

The young man in the golden robe took three steps back!

Qin Yuan remained completely still!

The young man in the golden robe's expression changed drastically.

"How is this possible?! You're a third-level Chaos God Emperor, how could you possibly withstand one of my palm strikes?!"

Qin Yuan did not answer.
