I, a spoiled young master, conquered the Crown Princess right from the start!

boom!!!

In the depths of the boundless universe, an ancient star, which had originally been dim, suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly brilliant purple light!

That light transcended time and space, ignored the boundaries, and instantly illuminated all the heavens and myriad realms!

Heaven, Underworld, Demon Realm, Monster Realm...

Countless great worlds and countless star fields were enveloped by that vast purple light at this moment!

"The Purple Star stirs! The Imperial Star manifests! This is... the aura of the Human Emperor!"

"Impossible! In the ancient war, the Human Emperor perished and his essence vanished. Even the Human Emperor's Seal shattered. How could he possibly reappear in the world?!"

"Could it be... his successor?!"

"Investigate immediately! Find this person at all costs! We must not allow another Human Emperor to emerge from the human race!"

At this moment, countless ancient beings who had survived since ancient times and slumbered in forbidden and desolate places throughout the myriad realms were simultaneously awakened!

Pairs of eyes, some cold, some greedy, some fearful, pierced through endless time and space, probing towards the source of the purple light!

The Celestial Realm, deep within the ancestral lands of several supreme divine clans.

Several ancestors who were in seclusion, whose auras were so terrifying that they could make the stars tremble, suddenly opened their eyes.

"The Emperor...has he recovered?"

"No! The aura is similar, but it's much more immature! It's his successor!"

"Hmph, back then, the Human Emperor alone suppressed an entire era of us. We must never repeat that mistake!"

"Pass down the order: use all available resources to find this person, seize his inheritance, and destroy his soul!"

……

The headquarters of Yanyu Tower, atop that dark, colossal tower suspended in endless darkness.

A hoarse, ethereal thought, seemingly not of this world, descended directly into the pavilion where the lord resided.

"The successor of the Human Emperor has appeared in the world; find him."

With just a single sentence, the Lord of the Misty Rain Pavilion, who controlled the largest intelligence organization in the Heavenly Realm and dared to assassinate even the Lord of the Holy Land, suddenly stood up from his throne, his face hidden behind the mask filled with horror.

"Yes...yes!"

……

Inside the Cloud Chaser Boat.

The terrifying illusory image of the Human Emperor only appeared for a few breaths before slowly dissipating, transforming back into Imperial Dragon Qi and returning to the Human Emperor Seal.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Shen Qingxue on the deck had already been overwhelmed by the fleeting, terrifying pressure, collapsing to the ground, her pretty face pale and her body covered in sweat, as if she had just been pulled out of the water.

Her beautiful eyes widened as she stared in horror at the control room, her heart churning with turmoil.

That aura just now... what was that?!

The mere wisp of pressure emanating from her was enough to prevent this cultivator at the Shattered Realm from even having the slightest thought of resistance, and her soul was almost crushed on the spot!

Is this...is this really the power that a cultivator who has just broken through to the Dharma Aspect Realm could possess?!

She originally thought that Chu Feng's strength came from his terrifying flying ship, and that his own cultivation level was at most at the King Realm.

But now it seems she was terribly wrong!

This man was far more mysterious and terrifying than she had imagined!

Meanwhile, inside the control room, Chu Feng was completely unaware of everything that was happening outside.

The appearance of the Human Emperor's Dharma Image seemed to open a completely new door for him.

The previously impenetrable barrier was now clearly visible in his eyes, even... riddled with cracks.

"I see."

Chu Feng's lips slowly curled upwards.

Without further hesitation, he mobilized the last remaining energy in his body, transforming it into the sharpest cone, and fiercely stabbed it towards the center of the barrier!

Snap! Snap!

A crisp shattering sound exploded deep within his soul!

Breakthrough!

"Listen up, kid!"

Chu Feng had just stabilized his cultivation at the first level of the Dharma Aspect Realm and hadn't even had time to feel the joy brought by the surge in power when the Thunder Lord's unprecedentedly solemn voice was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head.

"From this day forward, unless absolutely necessary, you must never again use the Human Emperor's Dharma Image! Furthermore, you must not let anyone know that you possess the Human Emperor's legacy!"

Chu Feng was taken aback: "Why?"

"Why?" Thunder Lord sneered. "What did you think that was? Child's play? You condensed the embryonic form of the Human Emperor's Dharma Image and triggered the manifestation of the Imperial Star. Now, countless old monsters throughout the myriad realms are eyeing you!"

"Especially those alien races that were suppressed by the Human Emperor in ancient times, and those immortal lineages with ulterior motives, they will absolutely not allow the human race to have another emperor! Once your identity is exposed, you will face the pursuit of the entire universe! At that time, let alone us few remnant souls, even if a true emperor personally came, he might not be able to protect you!"

Chu Feng's heart sank suddenly.

He never imagined that a single breakthrough would lead to such terrifying consequences.

"What should I do now?"

"Hide!" The Medicine King's voice rang out. "Conceal all your aura and completely hide the Human Emperor's Seal! Before you possess absolute power, you are simply yourself, an ordinary rogue cultivator, and have absolutely no relation to that so-called successor of the Human Emperor!"

Chu Feng took a deep breath and nodded.

With a thought, he forcibly severed the connection with the Emperor's Seal, and the faint imperial aura vanished without a trace.

After doing all this, he felt that the sense of crisis, as if he were being watched by countless eyes, had lessened slightly.

It seems that the upper realm is more dangerous than he imagined.

……

Several hours later.

"Master, we have arrived at the outer edge of the Nine Heavens Starfield and are about to enter 'Tianshui Star' where the Shen family is located."

Xiaoyun's voice broke the silence in the control room.

Chu Feng opened his eyes and, through the light screen, saw a huge, azure planet teeming with life.

That is Tianshui Star, the Shen family's stronghold.

The Cloud Chaser transformed into an inconspicuous streak of light, silently traversing the atmosphere of Tianshui Star, and flying towards the Shen family's main city, "Linyuan City," according to the coordinates provided by Shen Qingxue.

Lin Yuan City, as the headquarters of the Shen family, a first-class family in the Nine Heavens Star Domain, is far more prosperous than any city Chu Feng had ever seen before.

One after another, magnificent buildings and palaces rise into the sky.

In the sky, various magnificent flying boats and mythical beast mounts flowed endlessly.

The streets were bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder, including many powerful cultivators.

However, as the Chasing Cloud Boat approached the center of Lin Yuan City, at the heavily guarded Shen family mansion covering tens of thousands of acres, Chu Feng's brows involuntarily furrowed.

Above the Shen family mansion, thousands of cultivators, dressed in uniform armor and exuding a fierce aura, were hovering in the dark sky.

These people completely surrounded the Shen family mansion, and their undisguised murderous aura plunged the entire Lin Yuan City below into a deathly silence.
