Changyang Zu Yunkong's talent was extremely great. Back on Three Saint Island, the great elders of Changyang Prefecture had worked together to seal his talent, preventing him from reaching Sainthood for the rest of his life. Even with that being the case, Changyang Zu Yunkong had reached Sainthood many times when he could not control it. The seal in his head would have come into conflict with him, causing him to suffer great torment. If it were not for the Heavenly Enchantress' unparalleled attainments in the way of the zither, which allowed her to control Changyang Zu Yunkong and make him fall into a slumber, Changyang Zu Yunkong probably would have died long ago.
Afterwards, the seal in Changyang Zu Yunkong's head was unsealed because of Jianchen. With his talent, his cultivation immediately skyrocketed. Coupled with Xiao Ling's assistance, he personally demonstrated the mysteries of the world to Changyang Zu Yunkong in the clearest manner possible. In the end, Changyang Zu Yunkong's strength skyrocketed, growing at an unbelievable rate. In just a few short years, he had reached the peak of Saint Ruler.
Changyang Zu Yunkong sat in the cave like an old monk in meditation. He was emotionless, and his face was calm. The distorted space around him became more and more unstable, rippling like water. Powerful energy pulsed from time to time from within Changyang Zu Yunkong's body, causing web-like cracks to appear on the ground.
At that moment, not only did Changyang Zu Yunkong's comprehension of the mysteries of the world rapidly deepen, undergoing the final leap, but even the energy within him rapidly increased, becoming stronger and purer.
Suddenly, the distorted space around Changyang Zu Yunkong calmed down. Even the energy within him stabilized. At that moment, everything was calm and the world was clear. The surroundings silently fell silent, as if everything in the world had fallen silent at that moment. It also seemed like time had stopped, and the energy of the world had stopped flowing.
This strange sight only lasted for a short while. Suddenly, a tremendous presence radiated from Changyang Zu Yunkong. It swept through the surroundings like a storm, permeating the entire mountain range.
At the same time, an extremely tremendous amount of energy erupted from Changyang Zu Yunkong. Like a flood, it surged in all directions like a tidal wave.
Boom! The mountain where Changyang Zu Yunkong was cultivating suddenly exploded, turning into rubble that shot out in all directions. He remained at his original height, seated in the air. The tremendous energy erupted from his body uncontrollably, wreaking havoc in the surroundings.
In an instant, the originally calm sky suddenly surged with wind and clouds. Boundless energy transformed into a torrent that soared into the sky, shattering the clouds in the sky.
Not long after, an auspicious cloud silently appeared high up in the sky. It flickered with multicolored light and emitted a gorgeous glow that enveloped the entire sky.
The rainbow clouds silently expanded in all directions, covering a radius of several hundred thousand kilometers. All the Saint Rulers became envious and yearning.
This was the sign of someone breaking through to Holy Emperor from the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Saint Ruler.
Not only would becoming a Holy Emperor greatly increase in strength and allow one to stand at the apex of the Tian Yuan Continent, it would also increase one's lifespan.
Saint Rulers only had a lifespan of three thousand years. Even if they consumed heavenly resources, they would only be able to live for another two hundred years. However, becoming a Holy Emperor would directly increase one's lifespan from three thousand years to six thousand years.
Huang Tianba and Yang Ling both emerged from seclusion in two other places in the mountain range. They raised their heads and looked at the sky.
"Changyang Zu Yunkong's talent really is terrifying. A few years ago, he was nowhere near as strong as me, yet he's become a Holy Emperor before me now," Huang Tianba murmured. He sighed emotionally as a faint smile appeared on his face. He felt proud that Changyang Zu Yunkong had become a Holy Emperor.
“
I need to work hard as well. Although my talent is not as great as Changyang Zu Yunkong's, I can't fall too far behind him, or it would be far too embarrassing, "Huang Tianba continued. He was also at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Saint Ruler right now. He was only a step away from breaking through.
On the other side, Yang Ling stared at the rainbow clouds in the sky with mixed feelings. He could still clearly remember that when he cultivated under Mercenary City with Changyang Zu Yunkong, Changyang Zu Yunkong was only a First Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler. Yet now, Changyang Zu Yunkong had already become a Holy Emperor after such a short period of time. On the other hand, Changyang Zu Yunkong's strength had not increased at all. He remained at the Sixth Cycle of Heaven Saint Master.
"My talent is just too lacking. The young master has given me such a great fortune, yet I still haven't become a Saint Ruler. I've really let the young master down. I, Yang Ling, am not fated to become a Holy Emperor." Yang Ling gently sighed. He was rather dejected. As a fighter, who did not wish to become stronger and stronger?
The place where Changyang Zu Yunkong had become a Holy Emperor was only several tens of thousand kilometers away from Mercenary City, so the rainbow clouds naturally enveloped the city as well. However, there were already over two thousand Holy Emperors gathered there, including several Holy Emperors. A person who had just become a Holy Emperor obviously would not attract too much attention.
Many people in Changyang Prefecture let out a sigh of relief with Changyang Qing Yun's sudden departure. Those who did not know the situation even thought that Changyang Qing Yun had retreated. They all secretly praised Changyang Zu Xiao's bravery, making an enemy retreat as soon as he arrived.
Only Changyang Zu Xiao and Changyang Zu Yunxiao's faces became very ugly. They had already thought of a few things from what Changyang Qing Yun had said before he left.
Before they could think too much about it, the Space Gate opened again and Changyang Qing Yun returned very quickly. He descended with an Emperor Armament that was around twenty to thirty meters long.
As soon as the Emperor Armament appeared, it immediately radiated with a supreme might. It surged through the surroundings, causing everyone to shiver in fear.
The Emperor Armament soared through the air. Before it had even displayed its might, it had already caused the surrounding space to ripple, as if it could shatter at any time.
Changyang Qing Yun stood on the hilt of the Emperor Armament and hugged it tightly with his arms. His hair danced in the wind as his clothes ruffled. A vast and boundless energy pulsed from him.
He was using all his strength to stabilize the Emperor Armament.
Changyang Qing Jueri, Changyang Qing Yunfeng, Changyang Yuan Wuji, and Changyang Yuan Zhenghua all charged toward the Emperor Armament at the same time. They worked together with Changyang Qing Yun to control it.
The ancestral armaments of the ten protector clans were just too powerful. Even the Holy Emperor at Great Perfection would struggle to control them all by himself. It required several people to work together.
"Changyang Zu Xiao, I'd like to see just how you'll stop the Emperor Armament now. Hmph, your Zu branch doesn't have the ability to fight to the death." Changyang Qing Yun laughed at the sky. Victory was already within his grasp with the ancestral armament in hand.
Changyang Zu Xiao, Changyang Yuan Wuji, and Changyang Yuan Wuji all revealed extremely ugly expressions. Even the Saint Rulers of the Zu branch below were the same.
