"At last, I've reached the level where I can easily beat ordinary emperors, but did I choose the wrong path? No, it's not really the wrong path. In the past, without the Little Chaos Body, the Space-Time Dao Fruit was the strongest option. Without the Little Chaos Body, I couldn't comprehend the Chaos Emperor Scripture and the Chaos Laws, making it impossible to condense a Chaos Dao Fruit."
Wang Ping looked at the simulated text and pondered.
"So, the next path should be clear."
Then, Wang Ping shook his head and continued to gaze at the screen.
"Next, after some thought, you decide to condense another Dao Fruit, forming both a Space-Time Dao Fruit and a Chaos Dao Fruit. This is undoubtedly an uncharted path, but you want to attempt it. If successful, it will undoubtedly skyrocket your power."
"For this purpose, you start experimenting in various ways, diligently researching."
"In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of years pass, and your cultivation has already reached the pinnacle of quasi-emperor. At the same time, you have a direction for condensing the Chaos Dao Fruit."
"For this, you take action, using three Devouring Emperor Artifacts to refine a red lotus with terrifying energy, conducting various experiments. After experiencing countless setbacks and even suffering severe injuries due to experiments, you finally succeed in condensing the Chaos Dao Fruit. To be precise, it's the Little Chaos Dao Fruit."
"However, when the Little Chaos Dao Fruit appears, you notice a strange phenomenon. You thought that the appearance of the Chaos Dao Fruit would trigger a stress reaction in the Space-Time Dao Fruit, but it doesn't happen."
"The Space-Time Dao Fruit not only fails to react, but it starts revolving around the Little Chaos Dao Fruit, eventually producing a strange fusion phenomenon. This sight terrifies you and makes you aware of a deadly sense of danger. You do your best to control it, using talents like the Puppet Sacrifice and Damage Nullification, barely surviving this crisis."
"In the end, your Space-Time Dao Fruit and Little Chaos Dao Fruit merge into a completely new Dao Fruit, the true Chaos Dao Fruit."
"With the appearance of the Chaos Dao Fruit, you breathe a sigh of relief and rejoice. You gain numerous insights and understand many principles."
"It turns out that the true Little Chaos Body encompasses the Dao of Space-Time. You finally understand why Senior Lengyue, the Nine Stars Pavilion Master, placed herself in the Time-Space Forbidden Zone. Obviously, the nine major forbidden areas of the nine major universes serve as the basic attributes for condensing the Little Chaos Body, with Time and Space being the primary attributes, prioritizing them over the other seven attributes."
"For this reason, the Nine Stars Pavilion Master placed herself in the Time-Space Forbidden Zone, using it as a crucial formation node, triggering a great formation, refining the upper realm, and achieving a complete Little Chaos Body, as well as ascension to immortality."
"Thinking about this, you become excited. If that's the case, it seems you can also attempt to obtain a true Little Chaos Body using the Space-Time Dao Body and the Little Chaos Body."
"If it were in the original upper realm, perhaps it would be impossible to obtain a Little Chaos Body because there can only be one Little Chaos Body and Chaos Body in the upper realm, and the conditions for creating the first Chaos Body were not met."
"But this is another world. In other worlds, there are no such restrictions. Perhaps with some research, you can obtain a true Little Chaos Body. If the fusion is successful, even if you can't obtain a true Little Chaos Body, it can enable the Little Chaos Body to undergo another transformation, eliminating the previous inability to develop further."
"For this reason, you continue to go into seclusion, researching these matters."
"In the blink of an eye, another hundred thousand years pass. During these hundred thousand years, you no longer go into seclusion and your relationship with Yudao Yi progresses significantly. You become Dao companions, and Yudao Yi even bears your offspring."
"By the way, during these years, Yudao Yi had already recovered from her injuries, stepping into that realm, achieving Dao and becoming the second supreme emperor of this world. The first supreme emperor, undoubtedly, was the long-deceased Dark Cang Emperor."
"When you and Yudao Yi are in harmony, discussing Dao, and nurturing your descendants together, an unexpected event occurs."
"This unexpected event is the eruption of the Dark Source, giving rise to numerous powerful Dark beings. These Dark beings are extremely powerful, with none below the Supreme rank, making them superior to quasi-emperors."
"This horrifying change causes you, Yudao Yi, and others to change expressions, and you all rush into the cosmic void, gazing at the erupting Dark Source."
"Well, it turns out to be an unexpected method to refine the Chaos Body. In other words, it seems that the nine major heavenly beings are no longer needed. It's not that they are not needed; perhaps after gathering all nine major heavenly beings, they can help me develop the Chaos Body quickly and reach the stage of completion."
Wang Ping looked at the simulated text and was filled with mixed emotions.
This time, it could be considered a significant leap, a complete transformation.
Wang Ping didn't know the extent of his current simulated strength.
However, after becoming Dao companions with Yudao Yi, the Dark Source erupted unexpectedly. Could it be that there's really some unwritten law that getting married would lead to death?
Wang Ping recalled the eruption of the Dark Source and his thoughts became complicated.
"I can't always blame marriage and finding a Dao companion. After all, even if I don't find a Dao companion, I will eventually die; it's just a matter of sooner or later."
Then, Wang Ping shook his head, giving up on these strange thoughts and started thinking about the real issues.
Speaking of which, this eruption of the Dark Source, he didn't know if it was the Dark Source of this world or if all the Dark Sources from the lower planes affiliated with the Immortal Domain erupted. If it was the latter, then it would mean the appearance of the great disaster predicted by the Immortal Mansion.
If that's the case, he gained valuable information and figured out when the great disaster would occur.
If it wasn't the simultaneous eruption of Dark Sources from various worlds, then this was purely a sudden event.
While Wang Ping contemplated, the life simulation continued.
"You and Yudao Yi's hearts were deeply solemn as you began to slaughter those dark creatures that were attacking. However, because the number of dark creatures was too vast, even the two of you couldn't protect the entire universe's beings.
As a result, many beings were mercilessly slaughtered, with no way to escape.
At this moment, a new change occurred, and two Emperor-level dark creatures were born, staring at you. Then, they launched an attack against you.
Facing these two Emperor-level dark creatures, Yudao Yi made a powerful move and engaged in battle with one of them, gaining a significant advantage in an instant. These two Emperor-level dark creatures were only on par with Black Cang Emperor in terms of strength, nowhere near the level of Yudao Yi, who possessed the top-tier Saint Body and had achieved a perfect state in the realm. Her combat power in the same realm was also among the top.
As for you, facing the attack of this Emperor-level dark creature, you remained composed and crushed it with a single punch, causing it to perish completely, as if you were casually killing an ant.
However, although you killed one Emperor-level dark creature, it seemed to have attracted the attention of the source of darkness. More Emperor-level dark creatures appeared, surrounding both you and Yudao Yi.
You looked at the thousands of Emperor-level dark creatures and fell into silence. Even though you knew how terrifying the origin of darkness was, this situation was excessively horrifying. They could produce Emperor-level dark creatures at will, and each one was stronger than the last. You even sensed dark creatures with power not inferior to that of the Skyfeather Emperor, who had achieved a perfect state in the Emperor realm.
In the face of such a situation, even with your formidable strength, there was no way out. After all, although your combat power was extraordinary within the same realm, capable of easily defeating ordinary Emperors, you were still not an Emperor.
Yudao Yi also watched these dark creatures in silence. However, she glanced at you, understanding your thoughts.
Then, she came to your side, and without hesitation, you both used terrifying space-time divine powers to return to the Taiyi Emperor's palace. When numerous dark creatures attacked, you attempted to escape with the Seven-Colored Talent: Escape God skill, carrying the Taiyi Emperor's palace with you.
However, an unfortunate situation occurred. The source of darkness erupted, clearly surpassing the Emperor level in existence. Even though the Seven-Colored Talent: Escape God could not be stopped even by an Emperor, it was meaningless in the face of the source of darkness.
In the end, you were unable to successfully teleport.
Seeing that escape was impossible, you and Yudao Yi could only fight side by side against the dark creatures.
Thus, in this terrifying catastrophe, you were surrounded and beaten to death, completely falling.
Because of your death, this simulation comes to an end.
As the text simulation ended, Wang Ping's mind was filled with various insights and memory images.
Finally, his figure appeared in the universe, witnessing the scene of the simulated Wang Ping and Yudao Yi falling.
"I died again, quite helpless," Wang Ping said as he watched the scene, shaking his head.
However, this was normal. In the face of the source of darkness, even an Emperor would fall, let alone whether an Immortal could survive.
While Wang Ping was deeply contemplating, his consciousness flickered, and his vision changed, returning to the real world. The system's voice resounded once again.
"Ding, reward generation successful. Host must choose two rewards from the following options:
1. Quasi-Emperor Perfection (including the Chaos Dao Fruit).
2. Seven-Colored Talent: Escape God.
3. Random Quasi-Emperor Artifact.
4. Random Quasi-Emperor-level Treasure Pill."
Wang Ping looked at the reward options, his eyes gleaming, and he already had an answer in his mind.
This time, he definitely had to choose cultivation. Continuing to withhold his cultivation had no meaning.
Apart from that, the life simulator prompted him to make a mandatory choice this time.
The last time he had to make a mandatory choice left a deep impression on Wang Ping.
If he didn't choose, he would die.
This time, there was likely a similar prompt.
Without hesitation, Wang Ping made his choice and said in his heart, "System, I choose 1. Quasi-Emperor Perfection and 2. Seven-Colored Talent: Escape God."
As Wang Ping made his choice, his cultivation began to rapidly soar.
Earth Emperor!
Sky Emperor!
Quasi-Emperor First Level!
Quasi-Emperor Fourth Level!
Quasi-Emperor Seventh Level!
Quasi-Emperor Ninth Level!
Until Quasi-Emperor Perfection!
When his cultivation reached the level of Quasi-Emperor Perfection, Wang Ping felt invigorated, sensing his own immense strength.
"Now, I haven't reached the limits of Quasi-Emperor Perfection. When I obtain a true Chaos Body and comprehend the Chaos Heavenly Dao to seventy percent, my strength will skyrocket once more. By then, I will undoubtedly ascend to the top of the Immortal Tower."
Wang Ping thought confidently in his heart.
Of course, even now, Wang Ping believed that he could achieve the first place in the Immortal Tower with his current configuration.
If there were still others stronger than him with his current setup, then he had nothing more to say.
While Wang Ping was suppressing his aura and pondering, a spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared in the secret realm of the Dark Emperor Clan.
This surprised Wang Ping, and he frowned as he looked in the direction of the spatial fluctuation.
"It seems like something has happened. My life simulator is once again giving me a warning."
Wang Ping's gaze flickered as he muttered to himself.
The first time the life simulator prompted him to make a mandatory choice, he faced a life-threatening crisis.
Now, it was prompting him again, and indeed, an abnormal situation had occurred.
The secrets of his life simulator were truly abundant.
It seemed that he needed to find an opportunity to ask Alpha about the origin of the time travelers' 'golden fingers' and where they came from.
In Wang Ping's current view, Alpha didn't seem to have the capability to provide him with such 'golden fingers.'
The uniqueness of his 'golden finger' was evident, far beyond what the other members of the group could compare to.
While Wang Ping was lost in thought, a figure dressed in blue robes suddenly appeared from the spatial fluctuation, standing in the void and looking down at the Dark Emperor Clan.
Then, a terrifying Emperor's might suddenly spread out, as if intending to annihilate all members of the Dark Emperor Clan.
In response to this, Wang Ping's expression turned cold, and he snorted, taking a step forward. He appeared in the void, emitting a terrifying aura that directly blocked the Emperor's might and shattered it, protecting the Dark Emperor Clan.
This sudden turn of events shocked all members of the Dark Emperor Clan, who looked up at the sky in fear.
They had never expected their hidden realm to be invaded by an Emperor. At the same time, they were surprised that you possessed such formidable cultivation and could resist the might of an Emperor.
"Which celestial force are you from? Why are you attacking the Dark Emperor
Clan?"
Wang Ping's face was stern as he questioned the Emperor who had suddenly appeared.
In the life simulator, there had never been a situation where an Emperor intruded into the hidden realm of the Dark Emperor Clan and attacked them.
In other words, this Emperor was definitely from another world, just like the Kill Saint who came from the Slaughter Paradise, or perhaps from another universe.
Therefore, in Wang Ping's eyes, this Emperor was a newcomer from another world, and this was his first time encountering such a situation in the life simulator.
"Junior, do you think I came for the Dark Emperor Clan?" The Emperor in blue robes gazed at Wang Ping, squinted his eyes, and spoke slowly.
"Are you from the second-generation chat group? Did you come to kill me?" Wang Ping's pupils slightly constricted as he spoke in a deep voice.
This Alpha guy, he said there were only four time travelers in this world.
The first generation, Cold Moon.
The second generation, the two half-saints, and Wind Demon Supreme.
Now, why did another time traveler from the past suddenly appear?
"You're quite clever. You have secrets that even astonish me, capable of growing to this level in such a short time. To be honest, your rate of growth is even a bit frightening to me. It seems that Alpha has established a third-generation chat group and made some changes."
The Emperor in blue robes stared at Wang Ping, squinting his eyes.
"Hehe, the benefits for our generation of members are indeed generous. You can get golden fingers just by joining the group. Do you want to come back?" Wang Ping's mouth curled up slightly, inviting with a smile.
"Golden fingers? Would that iron-clad Alpha do something like that? It seems that the previous two calamities have had a significant impact on her, making her more enlightened. In this regard, you juniors should thank us seniors. Without us, you wouldn't have the benefits you have now."
The Emperor in blue robes furrowed his brow slightly and spoke lightly.
"That's true, we should be grateful to you. So, as a gesture of gratitude, I'm inviting you to come back, aren't I?" Wang Ping chuckled and extended the invitation once again.
"Hehe, given the current situation, do you think there's any chance Alpha will accept us? Between us, there's only a life-and-death struggle."
The Emperor in blue robes sneered, brimming with killing intent.
"No, if it were possible to come back, I think you might want to return. After all, what happened back then had nothing to do with you. It was the idea of the second-generation chat group's leader and a few old foxes who betrayed us and did such a thing by joining the Slaughter Paradise."
Wang Ping calmly spoke.
"The reason you can only oppose us is twofold. First, you know that the possibility of Alpha accepting you again is extremely low, and you don't want to be controlled by Alpha again. Finally, and most importantly, you can't actually leave the second-generation chat group now. Knowing the leader's personality, whoever dares to have such thoughts will die mysteriously."
"Junior, you are indeed very clever."
The killing intent of the Emperor in blue robes receded, and he fell silent for a moment.
Clearly, Wang Ping's assessment of their situation was accurate.
The situation in the second-generation chat group was quite dark, and the control of the group leader was even greater than Alpha's in the past.
However, the second-generation chat group would not forcibly compel them to deal with the enigmatic matters, but their life and death were entirely in the hands of the leader of the second-generation chat group.
Because the leader of the second-generation chat group was a traitor, he was even more afraid of being betrayed by those below.
"Unfortunately, as clever as you are, you are still impulsive in your actions. If you hadn't killed Wind Demon Supreme, those powerful forces from the second-generation chat group wouldn't have noticed your abnormal growth rate, and those big shots wouldn't have spent a huge price to send me to this world to kill you."
The Emperor in blue robes sighed, and killing intent surged once more.
"Is it because I exposed my secrets during that time?" Wang Ping wasn't surprised by the words of the Emperor in blue robes.
After all, when he went to deal with Wind Demon Supreme, he had already thought about this.
Dealing with Wind Demon Supreme could likely attract the attention of the second-generation chat group.
However, Wang Ping also remembered what Alpha had said.
Alpha mentioned that the situation in this fantasy world was somewhat special, and the powerful figures from the second-generation chat group couldn't easily come here.
Now it seemed that it was a big deception.
How could they not come here? It was clear that those who didn't qualify for the second-generation chat group spent a huge price to come to this world to hunt him down after he had demonstrated the power to kill Wind Demon Supreme.
Wang Ping even suspected that after this incident, his strength and growth rate would be exposed even more, and he wondered what kind of time-traveling seniors would come after him next time.
This really forced him to become stronger rapidly.
Not to mention what would happen in the future, in the recent past, if the life simulator hadn't reminded him twice, he would have had to spend a huge price to resolve the crisis.
"I didn't say they couldn't come, I just said that those at the level of the second-generation chat group's leader can't come." At this point, Alpha's voice sounded, clarifying the situation.
This made Wang Ping squint his eyes, recalling what Alpha had said earlier.
It seemed to be true.
In other words, powerful forces above the rank of Emperor couldn't easily come to this world.
With this in mind, Wang Ping felt relieved.
If even Immortal-level forces could easily come, he would really be in big trouble, and he would have to consider the possibility of running away.
"There's a flaw!"
As Wang Ping was flashing various thoughts in his mind, the Emperor in blue robes suddenly made a move. Terrifying mana surged, condensing into a vast sea dragon and attacking Wang Ping.
In response, Wang Ping frowned.
Instead of immediately engaging in a confrontation or defense, he thought of the Dark Emperor Clan.
Originally, when he came to the Dark Emperor Clan, he had to be cautious, but this group of people had become a burden, making him unable to act freely and having to protect them.
However, Wang Ping soon smiled.
As the blue-robed Emperor's divine power erupted, the hidden formation set up by the Dark Emperor Lord was also activated, beginning to engulf the members of the Dark Emperor Clan and transporting them.
This meant that Wang Ping didn't need to worry about the Dark Emperor Clan's members and could freely engage in a battle with the blue-robed Emperor.
The blue-robed Emperor also noticed the Dark Emperor Clan's retreat, but he didn't pay it much attention. He focused his attention on Wang Ping.
When he realized that Wang Ping had no intention of defending himself at all, he furrowed his brow, thinking that this junior, Wang Ping, seemed a bit too overconfident and lacked combat experience.
However, he remembered that Wang Ping had grown to his current level as an ordinary human in such a short time thanks to Alpha's favor, which made him somewhat understanding.
In his heart, Wang Ping had already been labeled as a hothouse flower with power and some special abilities.
Such a guy, even if he were one realm lower, would be easily defeated by him, let alone being in the same realm.
However, in the next moment, the blue-robed Emperor showed a surprised expression.
Because as the sea dragon attacked Wang Ping, the space around him began to distort.
Then, the terrifying power that could shatter an entire star domain, the sea dragon, disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
"A temporal-type ability? A troublesome ability," the blue-robed Emperor furrowed his brow, and his expression became more serious.
It seemed that Wang Ping wasn't lacking in combat experience; he was just extraordinarily self-assured.
"Aren't you curious why I can easily fight you with perfect Emperor-level cultivation?" Wang Ping looked at the blue-robed Emperor, surprised that he wasn't showing more astonishment given his incredible performance, as most other cultivators would be in complete awe.
"There's nothing to be surprised about. There are many anomalies in the myriad realms. Besides, the strength of one's cultivation and the amount of energy are never the key factors in determining victory or defeat," the blue-robed Emperor said indifferently.
"You will understand this deeply when you go to the Slaughter Paradise. That is, if you have the opportunity to go there."
After a pause, the blue-robed Emperor spoke again.
The moment his words fell, he used a terrifying divine power and attacked Wang Ping once more.
In response, Wang Ping remembered the blue-robed Emperor's words and remained composed on his face. He used his abilities to easily counter the blue-robed Emperor's attacks.
Their clashes caused a terrifying shockwave, completely destroying the secret realm where the Dark Emperor Clan was located.
The two of them then appeared in the vast cosmic void.
As they appeared in the cosmic void, their terrifying auras and pressures instantly spread to extremely distant star realms, causing countless powerful cultivators to take notice, their expressions filled with shock.
They had never expected a battle between Emperors to erupt in this era.
"No, this is not a battle between Emperors. Although there is indeed an Emperor, the other one seems to have only achieved the peak of the quasi-Emperor realm?" Soon, a Emperor noticed the anomaly and showed a shocked expression.
After all, battles between quasi-Emperors and Emperors were extremely rare.
Usually, it was a top-notch quasi-Emperor battling an old and ordinary Emperor.
The current situation was clearly different from the usual.
The blue-robed Emperor wasn't an old and ordinary Emperor; he was a middle-aged Emperor at the peak of his power.
Although the blue-robed Emperor seemed to have no special physique and could be considered an ordinary Emperor, his cultivation had reached the middle stage of Emperorhood.
It was important to note that among Emperors, there were only four minor stages: Early, Middle, Late, and Complete.
For this reason, the gap between each minor stage among Emperors was much larger than in other realms.
The cultivation of a Middle-stage Emperor was completely different from that of an Early-stage Emperor.
However, now there was a quasi-Emperor who had reached the pinnacle of his cultivation level, capable of fighting a middle-stage Emperor, which was truly abnormal.
