Click.
The realm gate, completely opened.
No great battle ensued as imagined, only a calm figure standing.
"City Lord."
The Immortal Emperor was stunned.
He saw Chen Fan, looking at him calmly.
One by one, the powerhouses of the Life and Death Realm walked out of it, and then, they were all bewildered.
Where was the great battle?
They had walked out nervously, only to see the City Lord.
The expected great battle had never happened.
More than that… even the people were gone.
Only the City Lord remained here.
"City Lord, this is..."
Chu Laomo, who had advanced to the sixth rank, swept his gaze around in confusion.
No one.
Not a single one.
"It's over."
Chen Fan didn't offer much explanation.
These people before him were all familiar faces.
More people kept emerging from the realm gate.
Heavenly Emperors, Supreme Beings.
They had all come out to fight.
Even though in the face of an eighth rank, their only role was as cannon fodder.
Yet, they still walked out.
This was their most resolute courage.
One hundred, two hundred...
When nearly five hundred Supreme Beings emerged from the world, Chen Fan was shocked.
"How can there be so many?" He was utterly astounded.
When did the Life and Death Realm have so many Supreme Beings?
And Heavenly Emperors too.
Familiar faces from the past, White Bone Forest, Tianzai, Hong Si, Long Ling, An An... these people had actually become Heavenly Emperors.
The group behind them, clearly newly promoted Supreme Beings, were strangers, but they flowed with the same origin energy.
All beings in the Life and Death Realm cultivated the Great Dao of Life and Death, so their energies were naturally of the same origin.
This time, this was truly a great leap for the Life and Death Realm.
These people were the future of the Life and Death Realm.
"City Lord, you've advanced to the seventh rank?" The Immortal Emperor's voice suddenly rang out.
Swish.
All eyes fell on him.
Seventh rank, was it true?
No one dared to believe what they had heard, and some even doubted.
Until Chen Fan nodded.
"That's right, I'm at the seventh rank." He smiled.
Another moment of silence ensued.
Following that, there was endless rejoicing.
"Haha, our Life and Death Realm finally has an Emperor!"
"From now on, our Life and Death Realm will no longer be a minor realm bullied by anyone!"
"..."
There was a difference between worlds that had an Emperor and those that did not.
With an Emperor presiding, they possessed the foundation to establish themselves in chaos.
In chaos, all seventh-rank great worlds were under the control of the four domains. Well... now it was three domains.
Shenxiao was destroyed.
The Life and Death Realm was the only free seventh-rank great world.
They cheered and rejoiced.
Their own strength was the true strength.
Chen Fan watched them cheer, smiling without a word.
Despite their repeated successful raids, it was built upon a life-or-death crisis.
If Chen Fan had not comprehended the Great Dao of Life and Death, the Life and Death Realm would have already been annihilated.
When all beings perished and the world was empty.
What difference would this world have from annihilation?
Chen Fan's advancement to the Emperor realm was worthy of a three-day grand celebration for the entire Life and Death Realm.
At this moment, Chen Fan looked at the Immortal Emperor and the other two.
The energy fluctuations within the three of them were almost impossible to suppress.
Chen Fan smiled, "Go and break through."
The three of them were about to cross realms.
"Right away."
The Immortal Emperor did not hesitate at all and directly entered the chaos.
Rumble.
The chaos churned.
The chaotic zone, recently depleted by Lie Tian, was once again filled with chaotic energy from all directions.
The Immortal Emperor's breakthrough caused quite a stir.
Emperor Yu nodded at Chen Fan, said nothing, and also began his breakthrough.
Only Qi Sha hesitated for a moment.
"City Lord."
Qi Sha paused, "I already gave my word just now... I..."
"Go."
He knew what Qi Sha wanted to say.
If Chen Fan were still at the sixth rank, Qi Sha might have had some reservations. But now that he was seventh rank, he wouldn't care about some things.
Even if Qi Sha turned against him after the breakthrough, he was confident he could suppress him.
Moreover, he didn't sense any unwillingness from Qi Sha.
This meant that the other party had accepted the Life and Death Realm.
Hiss.
Qi Sha took a deep breath.
He turned and entered the chaos, beginning his breakthrough.
This moment, he had waited too long for.
Hundreds of thousands of years, the dream of becoming an Emperor was finally about to be fulfilled.
The cheering crowd had calmed down, quietly watching the three break through.
Although they all knew that no matter how loud their cheers, it would not hinder the breakthrough.
Yet, people still held their breath subconsciously.
Preparing to welcome the birth of the second Emperor of the Life and Death Realm.
Rumble.
The three broke through.
The chaos in the entire Thunder Domain was alerted.
From the east, south, and west... gazes were cast.
...
In the East, the Sword Domain.
The Sword Master had not yet returned, still on his way back.
At this moment, he couldn't help but stop and look back.
A smile appeared on his face: "The Thunder Domain is returning to an era of four-way parity."
He had initially thought that with the fall of Shenxiao, it would become a three-way balance.
Who would have thought that Chen Fan would be so capable?
Not only did he bring an eighth-rank under his command, but seventh-ranks were also continuously emerging.
He glanced and then withdrew his gaze.
"A good thing."
The Thunder Domain ultimately had to venture out.
The Thunder Domain had been sealed for too long. Only by leaving the Thunder Domain could one truly see the great chaos.
In the South.
Chi Yang's face was terrifyingly grim.
The other spatial boot was not going to be easily retrieved.
"Emperor Yu, it's all your fault."
Helpless, Chi Yang could only shift the blame onto Emperor Yu.
If Emperor Yu hadn't stolen the spatial boot from the forbidden area back then, he would have mastered the complete spatial boot by now.
He didn't even consider the root cause of Emperor Yu's betrayal.
In the Chi Yang Domain, the weak served the strong.
The strong became stronger to protect the billions of beings in the Chi Yang Domain.
Emperor Chi Yang never thought he was doing anything wrong.
This was the rule of the Chi Yang Domain.
The Dragon King also sensed this aura.
He simply glanced back coldly and then turned away.
Chaos beasts, life is not easy.
...
Life and Death Realm.
Boom.
Seven great stars illuminated the chaos.
As the seven great stars merged into one, Qi Sha's aura finally began to climb.
The boundary was broken.
With a roar, the great star bloomed.
Qi Sha's Great Dao merged, achieving the Emperor's fruit status.
"Haha."
Qi Sha laughed, his laughter echoing through the heavens and earth.
He succeeded.
The aspirations of hundreds of thousands of years were fulfilled in an instant.
At this moment, Qi Sha faced Chen Fan, cupped his fists in the air, and bowed low: "Thank you, City Lord, for your fulfillment."
He was grateful.
If not for Chen Fan, if not for the Life and Death Realm.
Whether he could have broken through to the Emperor realm before his death was still a mystery.
The Emperor realm was too difficult.
It was the eighth-rank Great Dao power from the Shenxiao Realm that helped him achieve the Emperor's fruit status.
Therefore, he was grateful.
"Congratulations."
Chen Fan said with a smile.
Boom.
As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Yu's aura also began to bloom.
His Great Dao was like the sun, a radiant blazing sun standing in the sky.
Emperor Yu's Dao was righteous, a true blazing sun, not a deceitful sun.
His majestic aura illuminated the chaos.
"Haha."
The third Emperor of the Life and Death Realm was born.
The people of the Life and Death Realm in the distance trembled with excitement.
They did not cheer because there was still one person who had not succeeded.
Emperor Yu and Qi Sha descended, their faces filled with satisfaction.
Finally, they had made it.
However, as time passed, the Immortal Emperor was long unable to take the crucial final step.
On the Immortal Emperor, three hundred and sixty radiant orbs of light were like constellations adorning the chaos.
His Emperor weapon hovered by his side.
His aura fluctuated incessantly.
But no matter how hard he tried, he could not take that crucial step.
"What's happening?"
Three days had already passed, and the Immortal Emperor... still hadn't succeeded.
At once, everyone became anxious.
"Break, for me!" The Immortal Emperor roared.
He wanted to break through, to enter the Emperor realm.
But no matter how he roared, he could not enter the Emperor realm.
"Why?"
The Immortal Emperor roared in anger.
It seemed as if this world did not allow him to achieve the Emperor's fruit status.
