"Great elder Tian Jian has already reached Great Perfection of the Holy Emperor for many years, but he's never been able to break through the final barrier. He's already nearing the end of his lifespan. He only has a little over a hundred years left. A while ago, great elder Tian Jian suddenly resigned and left Mercenary City in search of breaking through to Martial Emperor. Now, nine-colored auspicious clouds have suddenly descended from the sky. This is clearly a sign that someone is about to become a Martial Emperor. Could it really be great elder Tian Jian? " The speaker was a ruddy old man. He was originally the second elder of Mercenary City, but after Tian Jian stepped down, he had been promoted to grand elder. He was now the person with the greatest authority in Mercenary City. He was at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor and was not far away from Great Perfection.
Tian Jian had stepped down from his position as grand elder and become a great elder of Mercenary City. He had stepped down from his position as grand elder.
"Great elder Tian Jian has only left Mercenary City recently. I don't think he can break through to Holy Emperor in such a short amount of time," said a red-robed man. He was also a Holy Emperor elder of Mercenary City.
"The number of experts who have reached Great Perfection of the Holy Emperor on the Tian Yuan Continent can be counted on one hand. Even if we include the independent people who spend most of their time in seclusion, there will not be more than twenty of them. Great elder Tian Jian's talent is extremely great, and he has read the cultivation experiences and comprehensions left behind by many Holy Emperor seniors of Mercenary City. It's extremely likely for him to reach Holy Emperor. Perhaps great elder Tian Jian has suddenly left Mercenary City because he has found an opportunity to break through. " A skinny, extremely ordinary-looking Holy Emperor elder spoke. He was filled with undisguised admiration for Tian Jian.
At this moment, the newly appointed grand elder of Mercenary City said, "Alright, let's stop guessing. Once the person who has broken through to Holy Emperor stabilizes, it will cause the mysteries of the world on the continent to tremble. We just need to find the center of the tremors and we'll be able to find out who has broken through to Holy Emperor."
Although the nine-colored clouds that enveloped the entire Tian Yuan Continent caused a great commotion and some panic to the people who lived at the bottom of the Tian Yuan Continent, this matter had an extremely great effect on the experienced Saint Rulers and Holy Emperors. All of them struggled to remain calm as they excitedly stared at the nine-colored clouds in the sky. All of their gazes were filled with undisguised envy and yearning. At the same time, they were all curious about who had broken through to Holy Emperor.
In the Holy Empire, deep in the mountains tens of thousands of miles away from the City of God, one of the seven major main cities, a small wooden hut stood alone at the highest point of a mountain peak. Fierce winds were howling in the sky, making whooshing noises, but they couldn't shake this lonely wooden hut at all.
At this moment, Hao Wu stood with his hands behind his back outside the hut. He stared at the nine-colored clouds in interest and murmured, "Someone has finally become a Saint Emperor on the Tian Yuan Continent." Hao Wu's eyes flickered with a sliver of envy and yearning. Reaching the Holy Emperor level was an irresistible temptation to all Holy Emperor experts.
However, Hao Wu seemed to think of something soon after. The yearning in his eyes vanished, replaced by a sliver of loneliness and deep pain. He turned around and entered the hut. He sat by the bed and gently held Zaar Caiyun's jade-white hand. He said emotionally, "I, Hao Wu, do not hope to break through to Holy Emperor. I only hope that Caiyun can wake up sooner."
Zaar Caiyun's situation was caused by a death wish. Her soul had been injured, and she had sealed herself off. It was not a physical wound, so there was nothing Hao Wu could do about Zaar Caiyun's situation. Injuries to the soul were the most troublesome.
Half a day after the nine-colored clouds covered the sky, a powerful pulse of the mysteries of the world suddenly appeared. It rapidly expanded into the distance.
This was the pulse of the mysteries of the world at the Holy Emperor level. It originated from the person who had broken through, and it also symbolized that the person had officially become a Holy Emperor.
"We know where it is now. Let's go and take a look," the grand elder called out. He immediately ripped open a Space Gate in space before hurrying over with all the experts of Mercenary City.
"We finally know the location of the person who broke through. Let's go and see just which expert became a Saint Emperor!" Aside from the sealed Changyang Prefecture, all the Holy Emperor experts of the nine other protector clans were mobilized. They all hurried in the direction of the pulse of the mysteries of the world.
Now that someone had become a Holy Emperor on the Tian Yuan Continent, it was a huge matter. The identity of the person who had become a Holy Emperor was extremely important to the Tian Yuan Continent. Whether they were righteous or evil would affect the fate of the Tian Yuan Continent to a certain extent. If they were righteous, it would obviously be a joyous matter for the Tian Yuan Continent, but if they were evil, it would be a disaster for the Tian Yuan Continent.
Changyang Zu Xiao from the Changyang Prefecture of Lore City, Changyang Zu Yunxiao from the imperial family of the Kingdom of Gesun, the various ancient clans, and the Holy Emperor experts hidden in various places of the Tian Yuan Continent all ripped open Space Gates and hurried over the moment the pulse of the mysteries of the world appeared.
Houston remained seated in the air in the barren mountains. The blood-red mist around him had all been absorbed into his body. He radiated with a tremendous presence. Just the tiny presence he would give off from time to time was enough to cause the surrounding space to violently tremble. It was extremely powerful.
Houston was currently comprehending the great power that came with breaking through. He could not help but sigh emotionally. The power of a Holy Emperor was far greater than what a Holy Emperor at Great Perfection could compare to. Even though he had just become a Holy Emperor, he felt like he could crush a Holy Emperor at Great Perfection effortlessly with the power he possessed.
He had also obtained many shocking secrets from the Empyrean Demon Orb after breaking through to Saint Emperor this time. This was because he had seen an even vaster world through the Empyrean Demon Orb.
"Jianchen has given me a great fortune. I've only just begun cultivating as a Holy Emperor. I still have a very long path ahead of me," Jian Chen thought. Breaking through to become a Holy Emperor should have been something worth celebrating, but Houston remained very calm.
The surrounding space suddenly began to ripple violently. Space Gates appeared one after another, and one Holy Emperor after another emerged. However, all of them concealed their presence without exception, acting like an ordinary person. Even the protector clans and the Holy Emperor from Mercenary City behaved the same.
In just a few seconds, over two hundred Holy Emperor had gathered in the empty space. All of them stared at Houston as soon as they emerged from the Space Gate. They were unable to shift their gazes away. The terrifying presence that occasionally radiated from Houston made all the Holy Emperor deeply understand that the person sitting before them was a true Holy Emperor.
"Houston, I never thought it would be you who'd become an Emperor," the grand elder said in amazement. The grand elder of Mercenary City sighed in amazement. He had thought of people who could become Saint Emperors, but he had never thought that it would be an assassin. After all, the incident a thousand years ago had dealt a very heavy blow to Houston.
However, after confirming the identity of the person who had become a Martial Emperor, the great elder of Mercenary City felt rather disappointed. The person who had become a Martial Emperor was actually not great elder Tian Jian.
"Congratulations, sect master Houston, on becoming a Holy Emperor and reaching the apex of the Tian Yuan Continent. Our Tian Yuan Continent has finally produced a second Holy Emperor after the path lord of carnal desires," the pavilion master of the Pure Heart Pavilion, Wuchenzi, congratulated Houston first with a smile.
"Congratulations, sect master Houston …"
Afterwards, the Holy Emperor experts from various organisations all congratulated Houston. They all smiled and were extremely polite. In this age where Holy Emperor was rare, even the protector clans with great heritage were unwilling to offend him so easily.
"Old sect master, y- you've really become a Holy Emperor?" An excited voice rang out from behind the crowd. The vice sect master of the Bloodsword sect, Jiang Wang, squeezed his way in as he excitedly looked at Houston.
After learning that Houston was the person who had become an Emperor, Jiang Wang's excitement had reached its limit.
Huston, who had been sitting cross-legged in the void, finally opened his eyes. He first nodded at Jiang Wang, then cupped his hands and said, "Huston thanks everyone for your congratulations!" Houston spoke extremely calmly. He did not show any joy or excitement from becoming a Holy Emperor.
"Houston has already become a Holy Emperor, one of the only two Holy Emperors on our Tian Yuan Continent, yet he can still remain so calm. Just this alone is enough to surpass all of us here. No wonder Houston became the Holy Emperor. Houston's mental fortitude has already reached a level where we can only look up to him," a Holy Emperor praised loudly, which immediately resonated with many people.
Houston smiled indifferently when he heard that. He said, "The path of cultivation is endless. The Holy Emperor has only just begun, so there's nothing to be proud of. You have to know that there's always someone better than you. In the past, we were just frogs in a well."
Everyone present was stunned by Houston's words. The Holy Emperor had only just begun? If it were not for the fact that Houston was the one who had said it, some of them probably would have cursed out loud already.
"Everyone, I still have matters to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave first." Houston did not give a detailed explanation. He ripped open a Space Gate and left.
He had obtained a lot of information from Amagami after breaking through this time. Not only did he understand that the Holy Emperor had only just begun, but he had also obtained some shockingly powerful secret techniques. Even as a Holy Emperor, he could only barely use these secret techniques. They were far more powerful than Saint Tier Battle Skills.
Three days later, Houston consolidated his cultivation as a Holy Emperor. At the same time, he grasped a few of the secret techniques. Afterward, he arrived outside the Death Nest by himself.
