In an instant, the starry sky dimmed, as if plunged into darkness. The red dragon let out a mournful cry, and the pitiful phoenix cry echoed through the nine heavens.

The Emperor remained unyielding, exerting all his strength to unleash the power of his Dao Fruit. He unleashed nine supreme ancient characters, which lit up one by one, like the blazing sun in the sky, dazzling and scorching.

These are nine ancient characters recorded in Taoist scriptures, possessing immortal divine power, capable of suppressing oneself, achieving eternity, and possessing an extremely powerful defensive force.

The nine ancient characters trembled violently, unleashing a terrifying aura like a sun about to be destroyed, sweeping across the sky and transforming into a cosmic storm.

The Vermilion Bird flapped its wings, transforming into a streak of blood-red lightning, which propelled the Crimson Dragon into motion. The Dragon and Phoenix Armor suppressed all laws. As a quasi-Emperor weapon forged from immortal gold, it exuded an eternal aura and carried an undying radiance.

Qin Tian swung the Seven Star Sword, its five-colored immortal gold light radiating outwards, confronting the dragon and phoenix armor. The sword energy swept across the sky, shattering the ten-thousand-foot-tall dragon and phoenix aura.

After being baptized by the Quasi-Emperor Law, this Quasi-Emperor Sword has begun to shine with its own brilliance.

The sword light blazed brightly, its sharpness fully revealed. It clashed with the crimson dragon, creating ripples that shattered stars wherever it passed.

On the other side, seeing that Qin Tian had completely suppressed the Emperor, the Black Emperor immediately raised his arms and shouted, "The time to avenge our compatriots has come!"

"Heavenly Court subjects, follow me and kill!"

With the Black Emperor's command, the entire army charged forward. The Heavenly Court's troops were filled with high morale, everyone knowing that victory was assured, and all they had to do now was to give their all on the battlefield.

On the other hand, the morale of the Divine Court had plummeted. The soldiers looked worriedly at the distant battlefield—their lord, the Lord of the Divine Court, was now completely suppressed by the Lord of the Heavenly Court and was in dire straits.

The golden bridge beneath Qin Tian's feet transcends time and space, suppressing the raging divine fire and the crimson dragon. The collision between the two causes the annihilation of all things.

The little Vermilion Bird, perched atop the Crimson Dragon's head and adorned with phoenix patterns, broke free from the dragon, danced across the heavens, and transformed into a streak of blood-red lightning that struck down.

This strike was unprecedented and far beyond human comprehension. Although the fiery red bird was small, it possessed unparalleled divine power and had the majesty of an emperor.

One of the cultivators who was about to attain enlightenment was called Little Dragon by the Supreme Being. He exerted all his strength and ignited his source, which was enough to injure the Supreme Being. His strength should not be underestimated.

This strike tore the universe apart, and the light engulfed everything. When the light faded, everything settled down.

The Emperor saw everything clearly and his face turned green. He tried his best to strike Qin Tian, ​​but only left a shallow bloodstain that got stuck in the muscle and could not go any further.

Once his wings left, in the blink of an eye, the bloodstains on Qin Tian's body healed, turning into smooth skin.

"Don't be discouraged. I also used a forbidden technique to block your attack!" Qin Tian said frankly.

This attack was no small matter, and he only managed to block it with all his might. However, his forbidden technique appeared calm and collected, just like a normal attack.

Not only does it not consume much divine energy, but it also constantly enhances and elevates him.

"Damn it!" The Emperor gritted his teeth. His primordial spirit power was no match for the person before him, his physical body was also difficult to shake, and even in terms of laws, he could not surpass him.

With each clash, the Emperor felt that Qin Tian was getting stronger.

He strongly suspected that the person in front of him was not giving it his all, but was simply using him to test his own strength.

In fact, just as the Emperor had predicted, Qin Tian was silently increasing his power, testing his limits in all aspects.

The two fought fiercely. As the strongest among the quasi-emperors, their speed was hundreds of times faster than lightning and light. They exchanged dozens or even hundreds of blows in an instant, causing the sky to tremble and creating a scene of world destruction.

Even during their clash, he sensed a trace of imperial aura.

The Emperor's domain has a barrier that blocks all attacks from those of lower ranks and restricts various methods of breaking in, but at this moment people seem to sense some kind of aura.

The battle between the two will enter another realm.

But in the end, all their efforts were in vain, and the Vermilion Bird shed blood, staining the entire starry sky red.

"Alright!" Seeing that the Emperor was bleeding and his life force was about to be exhausted, Qin Tian decided to stop playing around.

"This game is over!" Qin Tian declared the end of his reign as Emperor.

Qin Tian, ​​with his overwhelming power, surrounded by forbidden energy, broke free from the constraints of his physical body, transforming his physique into a vast world, and once again shattered the dragon and phoenix armor.

One hand held the little Vermilion Bird.

The emperor is trapped in a world within his palm.

"I am not reconciled!" the Emperor roared. He had lived a glorious life for a thousand years and was only one step away from achieving enlightenment, but in the end, he met a tragic end with his life and his Dao extinguished. This was undoubtedly unacceptable to him.

"Since you've lost, then obediently become my spoils of war." Qin Tian used Qiankun as a furnace, Yin and Yang as Dao fire, and the void as fuel to refine a Vermilion Bird Divine Pill.

"Hmm, this great elixir looks pretty good!" Qin Tian said that he not only wanted to learn from the Three Heavenly Emperors, but also from Fang Laomo. He wouldn't eat the human form.

But we can give the demon core a try!

"Like the old Golden Crow, become my backup hidden energy source." Qin Tian put the Vermilion Bird Divine Pill into the Devouring Demon Jar.

Only now, after years of cultivation, has he realized that the cultivation at the Quasi-Emperor level is different from what he has done in the past.

This realm requires the condensation of a supreme Dao fruit—a Dao fruit completely nurtured by oneself.

All previous cultivation can be regarded as shaping a true seed of the Great Dao.

To reach the Quasi-Emperor realm, one must plant this true seed between heaven and earth, gaining the ability to transform the rules of heaven and earth into one's own rules.

By gradually modifying the laws of heaven and earth and integrating them with one's own laws, one can create laws that are unique to oneself, such as the Great Emperor Wushi of the Great Emperor Wushi and the Great Emperor Ruthless of the Great Emperor Ruthless.

It is a principle that has never appeared in the universe before.

Ultimately, this great path reached its ultimate point, nurturing a supreme Dao fruit, which served as proof of heaven and earth, suppressed all paths, and subdued the mark of the Heavenly Heart.

However, the stronger the seed of the Dao, the more astonishing the nutrients it requires.

The insights that would allow a Holy Spirit to transcend nine heavens are perhaps too great for Qin Tian to even break through two heavens.

Furthermore, one can learn from the insights and achievements of others in their spiritual practice, but they must never be used as a foundation—otherwise, it will inevitably lead to disaster when one attains enlightenment.

Therefore, neither the Emperor's enlightenment nor the old Golden Crow's Dao fruits could help him break through his realm.

At most, it can help him accelerate the formation of the Great Dao, and extract the beneficial parts from their Dao fruits.

One can rely on it but not depend on it. If one tries to take shortcuts, the worst result will be an unstable foundation, preventing one from attaining enlightenment. Just like the Emperor, who cultivated diligently for hundreds of years but was still stuck at the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, unable to move at all.

To truly perfect one's own principles and methods, one must look to oneself.

However, using it to accelerate the growth of cultivation is also a good choice.

Qin Tian's efforts were worthwhile in capturing two rare medicinal herbs.

Even the most discerning eater in the restricted area says it's delicious.

……

News of the Divine Court's destruction swept across the heavens and earth like a hurricane, causing countless stars to tremble. The Cloud Dream Realm instantly erupted in uproar, with countless cultivators discussing the matter in disbelief.

"The great power that rules over all the heavens was so easily..."

"How much time has passed?"

Although most people do not fully understand the significance of this upheaval, they are all clear that it will be a major event recorded in the history of cultivation.

The cultivators who were unable to participate in the battle in reality were now engaged in heated discussions in the Cloud Dream Realm, vying to express their opinions, as if they had personally participated in that earth-shattering battle.

"The Celestial Venerable was not even a hundred years old when he was able to kill someone who was about to attain enlightenment!"

Who in this life can rival him?

"I'm afraid we have no equal!"

Some people, feigning profound understanding, analyzed: "We've long seen through the Divine Court's outward strength but inner weakness; how can it be compared to the Heavenly Court?"

In stark contrast to the intense atmosphere in the Cloud Dream Realm, the atmosphere on the Ancient Starry Road was incredibly solemn. A prodigy knelt on the ground and roared, "Heaven is unjust! Why must I be forced to live alongside such a monstrous talent?"

After this battle, the Heavenly Court's dominant position was no longer in dispute, and this golden age belonged to the Heavenly Court.

Wherever the battle flag went, various forces surrendered in droves, vying to join the Heavenly Court's ranks.

Chapter 435 The Heavenly Court in a Grand Tale, Reigning Supreme

The universe is boundless and too vast. The countless galaxies are too far apart. Compared to this, life is scarce and so insignificant. Darkness and coldness are the eternal themes.

"Woof! After decades, I'm finally experiencing this exhilarating feeling again!"

In the vast universe, the star gate opened, and the Black Emperor led a troop of celestial soldiers and generals out. Their armor gleamed, all forged from bronze, and they either held battle spears or carried halberds on their backs, their cold light flashing.

They descended in a grand procession onto an ancient star, a cradle of creation that produces a type of copper ore. It was once an important mining area for the Divine Court, used to forge celestial armor, making it extremely crucial.

Now that Qin Tian has defeated the Emperor, the Divine Court has also been declared defeated and destroyed, and the former territory of the Divine Court has been occupied by the Heavenly Court.

The Heavenly Court naturally needs to re-engage with these forces and renegotiate the alliance.

Originally, a decree could have been issued in the Cloud Dream Realm to summon all the planetary forces under the Divine Court to the Heavenly Court, to re-establish the rules and order.

After all, times have changed. The connections between the vast universe have become closer. It is no longer like in the past, when only matters concerning oneself or the interests of a major religion would require the use of certain precious resources to transmit information immediately.

Now, with the convenient tool of the Cloud Dream Realm, living beings can view billions of stars and countless sources of life without leaving their homes.

But the Black Emperor insisted on making the trip himself, claiming that "summoning all forces according to ancient rites would better demonstrate the Heavenly Court's sincerity and majesty."

Qin Tian just sneered when he heard this—how could he not know the tricks this black dog had up its sleeve?

This job is quite lucrative!

They toured the ancient stars of the various human races, reaffirming the order and covenant—the Heavenly Court provided protection, and the stars offered resources.

In this process, it is natural to prepare a "hardship fee" for the Heavenly Court envoys; this has long been an unspoken rule.

How could the Black Emperor resist such temptation?

There may indeed be "sincerity," but who is giving that sincerity to whom is something worth discussing.

However, Qin Tian was too lazy to care and let him do whatever he wanted, treating it as feeding wild dogs.

Since the establishment of the Heavenly Court, its only foundation has been absolute military power.

As long as Qin Tian maintains his peak combat power in the universe, he can remain as stable as Mount Tai no matter what kind of alliance is formed. The only difference is the amount of profit shared by his subordinate forces.

Moreover, with the Cloud Dream Realm, a powerful weapon that can survey the entire universe, no matter how many rare treasures the Black Emperor plunders, they will all eventually end up in Qin Tian's pocket.

It's simply a matter of transferring money from one hand to the other.

Black Emperor grinned widely, walking like a crab, rampaging and exuding an aura of dominance and arrogance.

It was as if he had returned to the era of the Great Emperor Wushi, with the strongest backer in the universe standing behind him, and he dared to venture into forbidden zones.

Although Qin Tian has not yet reached the level of the Great Emperor Wushi, his ability to kill a person about to attain enlightenment without taking damage already makes him universally recognized as invincible in this era.

Once he attains the Dao and becomes Emperor, he will be the true supreme being of the universe.

With such power, the Black Emperor could practically run rampant outside the restricted area.

Qin Tian chose to acquiesce to its actions—after all, the black dog had indeed made a significant contribution.

During Qin Tian's seclusion, it was he who commanded the Heavenly Court's troops to expand the territory and forge an extraordinary Heavenly Court army.

These are all genuine military achievements.

Moreover, Black Emperor is quite sensible in his actions.

It has mostly harmed the original territories of the Divine Court. Although these newly attached forces have submitted, it would be unfair to those who followed the emperor if they were to be treated as equals with the old members of the Heavenly Court.

Moreover, if these surrendered people are not given a little warning, they will become suspicious and paranoid themselves; this is the subtlety of human nature.

While Black King was lording it over others, its old partner Duan De was busy with a lot of work.

…………

"I can't take it anymore!" Duan De wailed in the astrology department, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"Keep doing this!"

"Master Dao will die suddenly!" Duan De's eyes were glazed over.

"I'm leaving! I'm going back to my beloved little tomb!" Duan De, looking exhausted, collapsed to the ground, holding the basic Zhou Tian Star Array given to him by Qin Tian with a melancholy expression.

This quasi-emperor formation will be elevated to a truly flawless emperor formation.

If that were all, it would be fine.

Creating an imperial array with the help of his intuition was not a difficult task for him.

The problem is that the client's demands are simply too outrageous.

It can cover all the life-generating areas in the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and at critical moments, it can mobilize the power of all the stars.

In other words, this is an ancient, supreme formation that encompasses the nine heavens and ten earths.

There are countless ancient stars throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, even the Supreme Beings cannot count them all. Now, Qin Tian is asking him to count all the stars in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and then design a supreme magic array to encircle all these stars.

Isn't this a dangerous situation for honest people?

Fortunately, the most complicated tasks can be outsourced.
