In the heavens above, the rolling thunder continued to roar.
A surging sea of purple divine lightning spread across the sky, shrouding the entire world.
If Chu Yang successfully took this critical step, few would be able to rival him in this world.
He would be invincible!
Chu Yang cultivated the Heavenly Dao, but even when he sought to use it to attain his supreme Dao fruit, he faced tremendous obstacles.
The Heavenly Dao would not allow Chu Yang to forcibly break through to the Emperor Realm.
The reason lay in Chu Yang's insufficient foundation to directly achieve the Emperor realm. A forced breakthrough would bring immense backlash and injuries.
Chu Yang now seemed like the favored child of the Heavenly Dao, which would never watch him self-destruct by doing such a reckless thing.
Thus, when Chu Yang attempted to break through, boundless divine lightning descended from the sky, an unparalleled tribulation.
It aimed to prevent Chu Yang from entering the Emperor Realm!
Chu Yang was well aware of the implications of taking this final step.
Previously, he had many concerns—avenging his parents' blood feud required sufficient power, and Chu Nannan and Nie Fengyun were waiting for him.
He couldn't do something that would destroy his foundation.
Even if he could forcibly break through to the Emperor realm now, he would soon fall and might never be able to cultivate the Heavenly Dao again.
A cultivator wounded by the Heavenly Dao could never retrain in it.
This was clearly recorded in the Heavenly Book of the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
However, Chu Yang had no other choice.
Without becoming an Emperor, Xiao Qi could never be revived. Even if he succeeded in becoming an Emperor later, it would be a regret that could never be remedied.
Chu Yang's eyes were firm as he looked at the rolling sea of divine lightning in the sky, without the slightest wavering.
What I am doing is irreversible!
With that, Chu Yang leaped towards the sea of lightning.
Even if it meant a nine-out-of-ten chance of death, so what?
As long as Xiao Qi could come back to life, he would be satisfied.
Soon, the boundless divine lightning swallowed Chu Yang's figure...
Outside the Heavenly Emperor's realm.
The cultivators were dumbfounded by what they saw.
They hadn't expected the Emperor to make such a sacrifice to revive the little fox.
Even if he broke through to the Emperor realm, it was impossible to resurrect someone whose soul had dissipated!
Throughout history, no stunningly talented Emperor had ever been able to revive the dead.
Therefore, the cultivators were puzzled.
They knew the Emperor was doing this to save the little fox, but it was fundamentally impossible!
Even Emperors must follow the laws of the Heavenly Dao.
Life cannot be reborn; this is an eternal law.
"If he doesn't become an Emperor, there will never be hope to revive the little fox. But after becoming an Emperor, at least there's a faint, almost nonexistent chance," Nie Fengyun said in a deep voice.
He understood the Emperor's character better than anyone present, so he was clear about the Emperor's actions.
After hearing Nie Fengyun's words, the cultivators fell into a deathly silence.
Just for this faint, almost nonexistent hope, risking a forced breakthrough to the Emperor realm and facing a near-certain death from the Emperor tribulation?
To cultivators, this was simply inconceivable.
They would never do such a thing.
But such unexpected actions seemed to be a recurring theme in the Emperor's past.
It was as if the Emperor didn't know what failure meant, nor did he understand the consequences of failure!
Like a reckless fool, he wouldn't turn back until he hit a wall!
To the cultivators, this was foolishness!
In the image, the boundless sea of lightning exploded with an astonishing roar.

Like a reckless fool, he wouldn't turn back until he hit a wall!
To the cultivators, this was foolishness!
In the image, the boundless sea of lightning exploded with an astonishing roar.
The destructive aura of the purple divine lightning was terrifying.
The divine lightning gathered the laws of the Heavenly Dao, possessing the power to destroy everything, the deadliest calamity.
And the lightning tribulation Chu Yang faced now was far more terrifying than the usual tribulation faced by quasi-emperors breaking through to the Emperor realm!
This apocalyptic lightning tribulation made the onlooking cultivators outside the Heavenly Emperor mirror feel utterly terrified.
If they were to face such a terrible tribulation, they might be obliterated on the spot, their souls annihilated, leaving no remains!
The divine lightning descended, spreading destructive waves across the entire Myriad Spirits Continent.
Chu Yang's body did not use any power for protection.
His tribulation was different from others'.
Because he defied the will of the Heavenly Dao, the tribulation aimed at his flesh and soul, presenting a tremendous test.
He cultivated the Heavenly Dao, but now he was defying it, essentially destroying his own path, and the tribulation aimed to cut off his future.
It wasn't just about destroying his body and soul but also severing his future path!
The terrifying lightning tribulation dragons struck Chu Yang's body, erupting with earth-shattering explosions.
Boom! The lightning tribulations struck Chu Yang one after another, turning him into a blood-soaked figure, his skin split open.
His exposed white bones looked gruesome and terrifying!
Wherever Chu Yang stood, the tribulation struck indiscriminately, turning the land into a wasteland.
Chu Yang's aura rapidly weakened.
Even now, his presence was weaker than when he was a quasi-emperor.
His cultivation was being eroded by the tribulation.
Yet, the white-clad Chu Yang still stood proudly under the sky.
Even the fierce tribulation couldn't make this white-clad figure bend.
After an unknown time, the tribulation gradually subsided.
Chu Yang's bones had been shattered, his flesh mangled.
Before Chu Yang could catch a breath, an even more terrifying force of the Heavenly Dao laws, like a primordial beast, continued to assault his crumbling body.
But Chu Yang's eyes grew ever more brilliant.
He forcibly drew in the Heavenly Dao laws, condensing them into his own Dao essence.
At this moment, Chu Yang's aura miraculously surged.
A terrifying power erupted from Chu Yang's body.
Heaven and earth trembled.
Chu Yang's bones regrew.
The new bones sparkled with golden light, as if a gift from the Heavenly Dao.
It seemed that Chu Yang had become one with the Heavenly Dao.
Chu Yang's aura grew ever more solid.
Boom! A silent roar that shook the entire sky and trembled the universe rang out.
Chu Yang, the Emperor!
