Thump! Thump!
Dantai Mo Jie clutched his chest, eyes closed, feeling the ssages transmitted by the pulsing golden blood.
This golden blood was Dantai Mo Jie’s secret—the key and foundation that transford him from a Human Emperor unable to cultivate into a powerful one who had now stepped into the Origin Realm.
He had once investigated the origins of this golden blood.
Searching through countless ancient records, he finally arrived at a conclusion that thrilled him.
“This golden blood is extraordinarily powerful. With its aid, the saint realm is far from the end.”
“Thus, it is very likely a contingency left by the ancient Great Emperors of the Nine Heavens!”
Dantai Mo Jie speculated inwardly.
The Great Xuan Academy’s library held dedicated introductions to the Nine Heavens’ ancient Great Emperors.
They were existences of imnse power—capable of shattering heaven and earth with ease.
Even the heavens could not bind them.
From that mont, becoming a Great Emperor beca Dantai Mo Jie’s dream.
Human Emperor?
Far from enough. He wanted to be the sole Great Emperor of the Five Phoenixes Continent.
Ruling the world!
According to the directions provided by the golden blood—cross-referenced with the intelligence from his attendants.
Dantai Mo Jie was certain the golden blood would not deceive him.
Thus, he led a contingent of golden-armored personal guards, departing the imperial capital by night.
Hurrying hundreds of miles to the nearest location releasing the aura.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
As he drew closer, the imperial blood in his heart pulsed ever faster.
Boom!
The earth cracked open—as though an abyss erged.
Within, vast ferocious and killing intent boiled.
“Such intense ferocious and killing intent—as recorded in the classics! Almost identical to the birthplace of the beast Liu Ying. This is indeed a peerless beast’s ergence site!”
Dantai Mo Jie stood at the cavern mouth, gazing into the pitch-black depths—excitent on his face.
He stepped forward slowly, intending to enter.
Yet his personally nurtured golden-armored guards blocked him.
“Your Majesty—no! Dangerous!”
The guards urged.
Dantai Mo Jie paused—hesitantly glancing at the deep cavern.
Finally, raising a hand to clutch his chest.
All between heaven and earth fell silent—only the urgent pulsing of the golden blood driving his heart remained. He smiled.
He was certain—this pitch-black cavern held what he needed.
Step by step—he gradually delved deeper. In the golden-armored guards’ eyes, Dantai Mo Jie’s figure vanished.
Within the cavern.
Heartbeats thundered like roaring thunder.
Before him—a sea of crimson, as though all blood-colored.
“This is imperial might…”
“Records say sacred clan imperial weapons fell into Five Phoenixes—ancient emperor auras within forming beasts…”
“The beast Liu Ying ford thus.”
Dantai Mo Jie slowly advanced deeper.
A wisp of Great Emperor aura lingered between heaven and earth. In the abyss depths—he beheld a back view.
An ancient emperor’s silhouette—radiating terrifying, submissive pressure.
This was Great Emperor might!
Dantai Mo Jie nearly submitted—knees trembling, about to kneel.
Fortunately…
The golden blood in his heart surged—releasing vast energy washing his body, allowing him to stand firm—unbowed.
“As expected—the golden blood counters Great Emperor aura!”
Dantai Mo Jie grew excited.
He studied long in the cavern depths.
The beast did not appear.
He understood why: beasts not simply ford by Great Emperor aura—required fusion with heavenly fortune.
“But how to fuse with heavenly fortune?”
Dantai Mo Jie puzzled.
He researched long—finally certain.
Beast birth needed ti accumulation—ferocious/killing intent and fortune rging.
Natural fusion—endless ages.
“Thus… alternative path.”
“I am Human Emperor—representing human fortune. If fusing human fortune with this beast—accelerate formation?”
Dantai Mo Jie pondered.
Overlord, Tang Yimo, and others—united with Demon Clan King’s Court and rebels—causing chaos.
Dantai Mo Jie disdained—yet felt pressure.
After all, Overlord and Tang Yimo—half-step profound immortals, equivalent half-step saints.
Such existences—imnse pressure on him.
He could not wait.
No ti for beasts to form slowly.
Thus…
Accelerate!
…
Origin Lake, Lake Heart Island.
Lu’s gaze glead with light. Lately smiling—picking pieces from the box one by one.
Black and white pieces clashed—like a vast net.
Dantai Mo Jie—the butterfly trapped within, flapping wings to escape—yet deeper ensnared.
“Seek fuse human fortune with beasts?”
Lu coldly laughed.
On the path to death—Dantai Mo Jie excelled as ever…
Yet Five Phoenixes needed profound immortals—precisely requiring these beasts.
“Then… grant your wish.”
Lu picked a piece—suddenly placing it. Chessboard seed to glow.
As piece fell—as though invisible hand stirred fortune—earth-shaking shifts.
…
Within the cavern.
Dantai Mo Jie clutched chest—feeling golden blood pulsing.
Thump! Thump…
Soon—all between heaven and earth only golden blood’s pulsing remained.
He felt his soul ascending—as though soaring beyond heavens.
He saw—vast fortune coiling around him. Within fortune—he beheld terrifying auras ford by its flow.
“This is human fortune…”
Dantai Mo Jie’s eyes glead—he truly heaven’s favored son!
“Records: nine imperial weapons fell into Five Phoenixes—one’s Great Emperor aura ford beast Liu Ying, but Liu Ying slain. Thus eight remain usable… I shall divide human fortune eightfold.”
Boom!
As mind returned to body.
Opening eyes—endless light surged.
Night turned day—fortune flowed in, ceaselessly entering the domain of ferocious/killing intent.
Countless energies intertwined—a beast birthed within.
As white light dispersed.
Guards outside cavern—minds shaken.
They hesitated entering to rescue the emperor.
Yet before moving—saw pitch-black cavern: Human Emperor Dantai Mo Jie step by step erging.
Behind him—coiled a beast with myriad tentacles, bearing a massive eyeball—evil and aberrant.
Terrifying aura spread—chaotic ntal fluctuations dazed. Even golden-armored guards—upon seeing, minds blanked montarily. The beast ceaselessly radiated terrifying energy—tearing minds.
Dantai Mo Jie roused the guards—ordering imdiate crafting eight small cauldrons.
Taking one—dripping golden blood within.
The vast, world-ending aura-bearing giant-eye beast entered the small cauldron.
All terrifying aura vanished.
Holding the cauldron—Dantai Mo Jie’s face bead with utmost excitent.
He finally had his trump card—powerful enough allies.
He gazed south.
Next—the rebel army would taste despair and terror!
Returning to palace.
Dantai Mo Jie specially built a hall to store the small cauldrons sealing peerless beasts.
In following period—he traversed Five Phoenixes Continent.
Using the thod to ta/subdue the giant-eye beast—one by one claiming beasts into cauldrons.
His confidence grew.
He felt ever closer to his goal: an imperial dynasty feared by immortals.
On the continent—he collected six beasts.
Atop palace.
Dantai Mo Jie raised head—gazing heavens.
Aura released—triggering Heavenly Gate.
He entered—finding seventh beast: Cloud Venom Vulture sealed by ascension grounds immortals.
Sensing its terrifying aura—stronger than prior six.
Dantai Mo Jie felt his blood boiling.
Infusing one-eighth human fortune—then subduing with golden blood—sealing Cloud Venom Vulture into seventh cauldron.
Completing—he prepared leaving ascension grounds.
Suddenly.
As nearing Heavenly Gate return—a terrifying will descended.
“Profound immortal!”
Dantai Mo Jie startled.
Head snapped up—brilliant green lotus blood between heaven and earth.
A figure calmly stood within—gazing at him.
“Hand it over.”
Lu Jiulian said calmly.
How could he be unaware of Dantai Mo Jie’s actions?
From entry—he knew.
Watched what Dantai Mo Jie intended. Unexpectedly—sealed the hard-suppressed Cloud Venom Vulture into a small cauldron.
Even the Cloud Venom Vulture—obedient.
How?
This world-ending beast—killing intent skyward!
“Lu Jiulian! Five Phoenixes’ first profound immortal…”
Dantai Mo Jie inhaled deeply. Facing this legend—not fear, but excitent.
“I am Great Xuan Divine Dynasty’s sixth Human Emperor… this beast has great use to .”
Dantai Mo Jie said.
“Human Emperor?”
Lu Jiulian paused—then earnestly shook head.
“Human Emperor must not cultivate. Moreover—you reek of baleful aura, killing intent torrential… impossible to be Human Emperor.”
“You—unworthy.”
Lu Jiulian’s words—Dantai Mo Jie’s pupils contracted.
Boom!
Yet Lu Jiulian wasted no words.
Body blurred into afterimages—closing in. Dantai Mo Jie’s chest golden blood suddenly erupted violently.
Lu Jiulian’s Green Lotus Sword unsheathed—one sweep—ascension grounds earth seed cleaved in half!
Explosion born.
Smoke billowed—cracks shocking all ascension grounds immortals.
Smoke cleared.
Lu Jiulian gripped Green Lotus Sword—feeling fortune backlash shaking body—frowning.
“Fortune backlash… human fortune shielding—truly Human Emperor?”
“What happened to Five Phoenixes? Such a one… worthy of Human Emperor?”
…
Dantai Mo Jie shuttled back through Heavenly Gate.
Crashing onto Five Phoenixes land—coughing blood.
“So… strong! This is profound immortal!”
Eyes full of wariness.
Without chest golden blood surging—despite Origin Realm cultivation—against profound immortal Lu Jiulian—no match.
Without fortune protection—likely a corpse now.
Yet…
Dantai Mo Jie wiped golden-tinged blood from mouth—gazing small cauldron in hand.
Seventh cauldron—seventh beast ally obtained!
These beasts—ford from imperial weapons’ Great Emperor auras. His chest golden blood controlled them.
He held supre weapons!
Though prior six inferior to seventh Cloud Venom Vulture.
Yet each profound immortal-level combat power!
Under heavens—none could oppose or block him!
None stop him—ruling the world!
Eyes closed—Dantai Mo Jie sensed long. Regretfully—eighth beast aura faint.
Face puzzled.
Dantai Mo Jie first returned palace.
Injuries healed—clutching chest, sensing eighth beast location.
Humm…
Faintly—golden blood guided.
Next day—he ca to Nine Prisons mystery realm.
Venturing deeper.
Walking…
Golden blood vibrated.
Head snapped up—saw Nine Prisons end: massive torn abyss…
Abyss edge—crooked cold stele inscribed “Nether Realm.”
“This Nether Realm entrance… world souls go after death!”
“Realm of the departed!”
Dantai Mo Jie recalled records.
“Eighth imperial weapon in Nether Realm?”
Dantai Mo Jie excited—intended crossing entrance.
Yet pitch-black flas burned—terrifying aura spread.
A massive fla beast like great dog blocked Nether Realm entrance—slain beast, substanceless body!
On it—faint Great Emperor aura.
“This eighth beast—Hell Hound!”
Dantai Mo Jie overjoyed—effortless find.
Dripped golden blood—intending subdue.
Yet ever-effective golden blood failed!
Hell Hound not subdued—instead unleashed sky-shaking roar.
Boom!
Nether Realm depths—faint terrifying aura spread.
Vast figure stood within.
Torrential karma like surging river!
“Unworthy descendant!”
“Foolish thing!”
“Get out!”
Furious, vehent voice exploded.
Dantai Mo Jie heart trembled—faint bloodline fear and oppression.
He scrambled fleeing Nine Prisons mystery realm.
Profound immortal!
Nether Realm too held profound immortal!
Clearly—Hell Hound slain. Reason golden blood failed.
Returning capital.
Though regretful—only seven beasts collected… sufficient!
Against Demon Clan King’s Court and rebel alliance—enough!
…
Great Xuan Calendar Year 640.
Demon Clan King’s Court and rebel alliance—montum fierce. Black Tortoise Guards, golden-armored personal guards, allied cultivation forces—retreated steadily.
News reached capital.
People cheered.
Rare—defeat bringing joy. Sideways revealed Dantai Mo Jie’s tyranny—how disliked, lost hearts.
Yet Dantai Mo Jie’s accumulated might—people dared not overt.
In hall.
Minister reported frontline defeats to Dantai Mo Jie.
All ministers wished see panic, regret on Dantai Mo Jie’s face.
Disappointed—no worry, even domineering disdain.
“re rabble.”
Then—Dantai Mo Jie ordered six golden-armored guards hold six small cauldrons sealing peerless beasts—rush frontline.
Six cauldrons—stationed six major cities on path from western domain to capital—forming six passes.
Cloud Venom Vulture cauldron—guarded capital.
Many ministers puzzled Dantai Mo Jie’s intent.
He offered no explanation—smiling, sleeve flick—returning sleeping palace, refining golden blood.
After subduing seven peerless beasts—bond with golden blood ever closer.
Dantai Mo Jie felt ever stronger—touching Origin Realm shackles.
As though… subduing seven beasts—truly earned golden blood’s recognition.
Golden blood extraordinary—seemingly easily elevate to saint realm.
…
Heavenly Secret Peak.
Many Five Phoenixes immortals gathered.
Overlord, Tang Yimo, and others sat peak summit.
Lu Mudui gazed heavens—human fortune churning—heart faintly shaken. Staff lightly tapping—divining.
“Demon Clan King’s Court and rebel army united—unstoppable montum. Plus minimal resistance in many cities—soon army reach divine dynasty capital.”
“Enduring heavenly calamities—Great Xuan fortune exhausted… Dantai Mo Jie at dead end.”
Lu Mudui said.
Overlord and others silent.
Their cultivation—no need intervene. Acting—slay only weak cultivators, even damage their fortune—no gain.
rely watch war’s end.
When Dantai Mo Jie’s Human Emperor fortune collapsed—they could directly slay the tyrant.
Suddenly.
Lu Mudui’s staff tap halted abruptly.
Heart surged ominous premonition.
Hmm?
Head raised—gazing west.
There—a city pass: world-ending aura surged vast.
Original alliance unstoppable montum—at this mont… collapsed!
Closed-eyed Overlord and Tang Yimo—eyes opened.
Beast aura!
Like Liu Ying—peerless beast aura!
…
Origin Lake, Lake Heart Island.
Lu leaned in Thousand-Bladed Chair—elbow on armrest, propping chin.
Spirit Pressure Chessboard radiated faint glow.
Board—pieces densely scattered.
Crowded—mind-dazing.
“Worthy of imperial blood—saved this young master much effort and ti. Six beasts—easily ford with imperial blood aid…”
If Lu crafted himself—imnse ntal drain, ti, energy.
“Hmm… moreover, this imperial blood not simple—extraordinarily sensitive to each imperial weapon’s ancient emperor aura, perfectly simulating.”
“Dantai Mo Jie subdued beasts—because imperial blood simulates each weapon’s ancient emperor aura…”
Lu narrowed eyes—picking piece, lightly tapping board.
“Or rather… this imperial blood—not rely one ancient Great Emperor’s?”
Lu pondered—mouth curling.
Worth the grand sche.
Yet thoughts brief—withdrew mind.
Gazing board—faintly, six small cauldrons erged—containing vast fortune.
“This ti—Five Phoenixes surely births many profound immortals…”
Smiled.
Piece in hand—lightly fell.
“This ga… ti to conclude.”
