Supreme Ascension
Inside the palace, Emperor Hades's body continued to shrink. Su Yiyun held the three medallions in his hand, committing Emperor Hades's words to memory.
"Master, is there anything else you need to tell me?"
"I've pretty much told you everything I need to. I'll leave the rest to you."
With that, Emperor Hades glared at Ye Zichen, sighed, then transformed into a cloud of mist and disappeared from the palace.
Su Yiyun bowed deeply to Emperor Hades' departing figure, clenched the medallions tightly, and looked at Ye Zichen.
Ye Zichen seemed to have entered a meditative state. He sat motionlessly on his prayer mat.
After staring at him for a long while, Su Yiyun furrowed his brows, put the remaining two medallions into his spatial ring, and walked out of the palace with the black medallion in hand.
No matter what Ye Zichen's current situation was, he was absolutely safe within Emperor Hades' secondary palace.
His master, Emperor Hades, was in seclusion during his waning years. Right now, his first priority was to contact the vicious beasts of the River Styx and strengthen its defenses.
Little did he know, not long after he left... Ye Zichen sat cross-legged on the ground, his body glowing with five-colored light.
Five beams of light surrounded him, reflecting the Great Dao of the Five Elements.
Within Ye Zichen's sea of consciousness, his soul clone sat cross-legged in the center of his chaotic sea of consciousness. Just now, when Emperor Hades's palm pressed against his forehead, a torrent of information had drilled its way into his soul clone.
Ye Zichen had no way of digesting the boundless soul power, so he'd been doing his best to absorb the information Emperor Hades had given him. After sorting through the information, Ye Zichen discovered that the disorganized information was actually all about his comprehension of the Dao of the Five Elements.
Of course, this wasn't to say that Emperor Hades also cultivated the Dao of the Five Elements.
Rather, at their level, they'd more or less dabbled in any Great Dao. His understanding of the Dao of the Five Elements naturally couldn't compare to the Five Elements Great Emperor's, but for someone like Ye Zichen, who hadn't even reached initial success, it was more than enough.
Ye Zichen's understanding of the Five Elements was reflected in his soul. It was as if a brand new door had been opened to his understanding.
This kind of direct inheritance was even more direct than the Five Elements Great Emperor's Five Elements Dao Steles in the Yao-Sealing Pagoda.
"Emperor Hades' relationship with the Five Elements Great Emperor is definitely not shallow."
Within his sea of consciousness, Ye Zichen couldn't help but knit his brows. Different people had different understandings of the Great Dao. That's why it was said that the Three Thousand Great Daos had three thousand paths. However, Emperor Hades' understanding of the Great Dao of the Five Elements and the Five Elements Great Emperor's understanding of the Great Dao of the Five Elements were complementary.
As for the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, he had personally forged it for the Five Elements Great Emperor.
From the looks of it, the relationship between the two Great Emperors was worth pondering.
In the time it took to finish a cup of tea, Ye Zichen's understanding of the Dao of the Five Elements rose to new heights. One by one, the shackles that had plagued him for so long were broken.
Wind, rain, thunder, lightning, fire.
Shockingly, the Five Elements appeared above Ye Zichen's head. Wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and fire. When the Five Elemental Laws merged in the hall, the Immortal Spiritual Energy in his body was completely transformed into the Power of God.
Boom.
In the void of space outside the God Clan, a golden longsword tore through the void and arrived.
The appearance of the golden light attracted the attention of countless powerhouses in the God Clan. The God Emperor, the Lightning Emperor, and even the Four Direction Palace's Suan Ni were attracted by the golden sword. However, what shocked the powerhouses was that they couldn't lock onto the direction of the golden sword.
The golden longsword tore through the void, piercing through the heavens as it headed straight for Emperor Hades's palace.
When it appeared in the air above Emperor Hades' secondary palace, it simply circled around it a few times, then let out a cheerful cry. It pierced through the palace's restrictions, landed on Ye Zichen's head, and burrowed into his sea of consciousness.
"A godhead."
When he saw the golden longsword, Ye Zichen instinctively frowned.
He was certain this wasn't the same godhead from before. His previous godhead was much smaller than this one. Furthermore, the sword spirit, Xuan-Yuan Xiang, had already merged with it.
More importantly, this godhead's appearance hadn't triggered any lightning tribulation.
As Ye Zichen furrowed his brows, the godhead flew towards him, circled around him, and let out joyful cries. Although he didn't understand why he had two godheads, Ye Zichen reached out and touched the blade, then fused it with his soul.
Buzz.
The immortal spiritual energy in his body transformed into divine power. When it flowed through his eight extraordinary meridians ….
He'd become a supreme!
Little did he know, outside Emperor Hades's palace, the North Star in the Nine Heavens flashed with light. A golden decree emerged from the Emperor Star and floated in the air.
The moment the decree appeared, the Minister of the Left beside him also shone brightly.
If anyone was paying attention to the Milky Way, they'd see a scholarly man tens of thousands of feet tall emerge from the Minister of the Left.
The man accepted the decree. A golden brush suddenly appeared in his hand, and he wrote a single word at the very top of the golden decree …..
Ye.
After he finished writing, the golden brush in his hand disappeared. At the same time, he placed the decree beside the Emperor Star.
The Emperor Star glowed brightly, and the decree disappeared once more. As for the man who'd written it, his body turned illusory and disappeared into the Minister of the Left.
Back in Emperor Hades's palace, Ye Zichen was still oblivious to the changes his body had undergone after becoming a supreme.
At that moment, Su Yiyun, who'd just finished talking to the higher-ups in the River Styx, returned to his palace. When he saw that Ye Zichen had woken up and sensed the change in his aura, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Congratulations on breaking through."
"Congratulations, congratulations. Where is Emperor Hades now? I'll have to thank him for helping me break through."
Achieving minor mastery of all five elements at once had troubled Ye Zichen for quite some time. He'd only become a supreme so quickly because of Emperor Hades's help.
When he mentioned Emperor Hades, Su Yiyun's expression darkened.
Ye Zichen sensed the change in his expression and couldn't help but ask.
"What is it?"
He couldn't tell anyone that Emperor Hades was in a state of decline, but when he considered Ye Zichen's relationship with him, as well as the fact that Emperor Hades had spared no effort in helping him break through, he decided not to hide it from him.
"Master is currently in a state of decline. He doesn't even have a tenth of his strength left, so he has to go into seclusion."
"A state of decline?" Ye Zichen furrowed his brows.
"I can't explain it to you in such a short time, but before Master goes into seclusion, he asked me to tell you something."
"What is it?"
Next, Su Yiyun took out a light blue command medallion and placed it in Ye Zichen's hands.
