# Chapter 1791: Becoming Emperor

The Monkey, Dao Yi, Human Demon, Old Madman, and all the others were worried for Ye Fan, but they did not stop, because this was an opportunity Ye Fan had bought with his life—they could not let it go to waste or hesitate.

"Boom..."

The group scattered, beginning their tribulation, seeking ultimate sublimation, hoping to use this to break into the highest realm their physical potential could reach.

Thunder radiance flickered, heaven and earth violently shook. The group all displayed their most powerful methods, unlocking the treasures of their bodies, hoping to become a Great Emperor.

They had already dispersed, located in different star systems, each preparing to undergo their own great tribulation. Immortal light shone in ten thousand directions, terrifying beyond measure.

The entire world was shocked. People had never imagined such a scene could occur, yet it had truly happened—several people undergoing the Great Emperor Tribulation together, like something out of myth.

"Saint Body truly defies heaven! How can he be so terrifying? Too fearsome!"

Every cultivator was stunned. Many trembled. This aura was unbearable to withstand—the most inconceivable miracle in the world.

Solar immortal light exploded—that was Ye Tong undergoing his tribulation. Blazing heat enveloped the great universe. He was wrapped in endless flames, the sea of thunder boiling.

Lunar immortal light splashed everywhere, surging violently—that was Jiang Tingting standing in the universe, like a peerless female emperor, drawing upon the power of the great universe to confront the greatest tribulation of her life.

Five Elements Divine Radiance shot into the sky, riddling the sea of thunder with holes. Old Madman was undergoing his tribulation. In each of his five secret realms sat a miniature version of himself, resisting the Great Emperor Tribulation, shattering heaven and earth.

An immortal iron staff spanned the void, severing the azure sky through the ages. The Monkey struck the nine heavens above and slaughtered the nine netherworlds below, unmatched and invincible, his might unparalleled. The sea of thunder collapsed.

Yang Xi, Human Demon, and all the others were doing everything in their power to undergo their tribulations, hoping to succeed, unwilling to let down Ye Fan's intention of sacrificing life and death to open up this heaven and earth.

Outside, everyone's soul trembled. This was simply unimaginable—their hearts palpitated.

Divine principles flickered, thunder radiance violently exploded. The border wasteland of the universe became a starry ruin, transformed into a land of destruction and tribulation, completely shattered. Who could imagine several people becoming emperors at once, with billions of thunder radiances, too terrifying?

Even though they were not together, not connected, that aura still surged, alarming all regions. It was like several oceans bursting their banks at once, crashing into the mortal world.

"How can this be?"

"Is Saint Body still human? Too shocking!"

This inconceivable thing had happened—the only such case in all of eternity. No one had ever been able to do this. Cultivators could only sigh in astonishment.

"Boom!"

Ye Fan struggled with extreme difficulty. Blood dyed the universe red. He fought with all his might, punching toward the heavens again and again. Divine principles burst forth, surging from his crown and from his flesh and blood, forcefully contending against the ten thousand Daos.

He single-handedly resisted the ten thousand Daos, creating an immortal legend—a glorious myth that made one's hair stand on end.

But he was truly exhausted. Even when he had fought against the Supremes in the past, it had not been like this. He faced death at every moment, suffering terrifyingly heavy blows. Yet he could only grit his teeth and persist. If he failed, the loss of hope for his old friends to become emperors was the lesser concern—endangering their lives was what truly terrified him.

Even when his body exploded, his flesh and blood still shone. He used divine principles to block the ten thousand Daos, preventing them from suppressing this region of the universe, buying time for everyone.

"If you succeed, what am I?!" Golden Crow Great Emperor said expressionlessly, staring at that place.

But he could not approach. Even Ye Fan was at death's door—if he went there, he would surely face calamity and be unable to withstand it.

Ye Fan firmly believed that even if the Supremes in the Forbidden Zones who were his enemies learned of his critical situation, they would not dare to come. The moment they entered, they would suffer the attack of the ten thousand Daos, experiencing everything he was enduring.

"Ah, truly formidable. The strongest Saint Body in history lives up to his reputation. Now I truly believe he might become a figure like the Desolate Heavenly Emperor."

"What are we waiting for? Since the opportunity is right before us, let us also undergo tribulation and strive to become emperors!"

Ye Fan had blasted open the ten thousand Daos, causing the suppression of the great universe to completely disappear. This was an opportunity. Others who had hope of becoming emperors were also tempted, wanting to use this to break through.

"Boom!"

Indeed, some mysterious auras burst forth. Others wanted to become emperors and resolutely charged through.

This was a glorious golden age, a brilliant era. Stars shone, prodigies emerged in succession—this was vividly demonstrated at this moment.

Ye Fan acted against heaven, slaughtering the ten thousand Daos, single-handedly resisting the suppression of heaven and earth, wanting to carve out a universe for his friends and disciples, allowing them to attain the Dao.

Now many people were borrowing his light, seizing the opportunity, wanting to become supreme beings at this moment. Emperor tribulations arose together, shocking all regions of the universe.

"What a glorious golden age! Truly the best era, unprecedented. Saint Body Ye Fan has created a miracle!"

"Indeed. If everyone succeeds, he will be the honored one among emperors. Even the other emperors will have to respect him. He single-handedly created all this—truly a supreme divine being!"

Many people exclaimed in admiration. Unfortunately, this had nothing to do with them.

Even though Ye Fan had blasted open the ten thousand Daos, not many could take the opportunity to break through at this moment. No matter how glorious the era, not everyone could stand at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven.

Today's opportunity was prepared for supreme experts!

"If one truly becomes an emperor, who is weaker than whom? We'll see who becomes the honored one among emperors!" someone murmured, beginning their tribulation.

"After becoming an emperor, perhaps everything will be different. One can contend with that person!" some supreme experts firmly believed that after becoming emperors, they would stand in the same realm, and everything would change.

"Eh, no. Although the ten thousand Daos have been blasted open by Saint Body Ye Fan, the area centered on him is the easiest place to attain the Dao. Elsewhere, there is still some suppression."

People discovered this fact with surprise.

But that area was already occupied by Ye Fan's disciples and friends. He had already deduced this situation and divided the regions for them.

This shocked everyone, but there was nothing they could do. No one dared to rush over and seize the territory. Otherwise, Ye Fan might act, drawing upon the ten thousand Daos to blast the wrongdoers to death.

But not many would give up. Even though being far away was very disadvantageous, they still chose to undergo tribulation, because they knew that if they missed this opportunity, they might truly lose their chance forever.

One person becoming an emperor already suppressed heaven and earth, causing the ten thousand Daos to resonate. If several great emperors coexisted, how terrifying would that suppression be? Just thinking about it made one tremble.

Especially since Ye Fan would definitely become an emperor. Only he could now hold open the ten thousand Daos, opening up heaven and earth for his disciples and friends. If he himself attained the Dao, could he then go against himself and the universe's rules? That was simply unimaginable.

Boom!

Within the great universe, all kinds of thunder radiance flashed. Great tribulations erupted from time to time as everyone fought desperately.

Ye Fan was covered in blood, still persisting. But his emperor fists were already trembling. His body was covered in cracks. He could no longer stand steadily, struggling with extreme difficulty.

The path he was now treading, the impact he was suffering, was terrifying beyond compare, enough to make one tremble.

"Boom!"

What was hardest for him to resist were those immortality pills. They appeared from time to time, and the immortal light spat out by those human faces was unmatched in the world, shattering him. His situation was very difficult.

Time passed. Ye Fan's supreme precious body was shattered many times. He reformed from the blood mist, striking at the ten thousand Daos, never relaxing, persisting with difficulty.

Later, he was on the verge of collapse. But in many places across the universe, divine light was erupting. The number of people undergoing tribulation was increasing, all doing their utmost to break through.

"Master, don't push yourself. Continuing like this will lead to self-destruction," Ye Tong shouted loudly.

"Master, stop!" Little Pine also said.

The Monkey, Jiang Tingting, and others all spoke. Although they were undergoing their tribulations, they had been watching Ye Fan, seeing him struggle on the line between life and death. Their eyes were splitting with rage.

If this continued, Ye Fan would definitely be destroyed. His life would reach its end.

Ye Fan was silent. The ten thousand Daos were reviving. At this moment, the universe's rules were constantly suppressing. This path was far more terrifying than he had imagined. He truly could not persist much longer. He could blast open an emperor's path for himself, but he could not support it for everyone for long.

"I'll hold on a little longer. If I can't, I'll give up."

He was unwilling to give up easily, still persisting. Even though his primordial spirit was split apart several times and burned up repeatedly, he roared at the universe and repelled the ten thousand Daos.

Time flowed on, but still no one became an emperor. Because the great tribulation required considerable time—one could not suddenly leap into that realm and achieve perfection.

Later, Ye Fan roared in fury. Was the first step of the path to immortality, deduced for everyone's sake, really this difficult? If one could not even become an emperor, how could one advance further to become an immortal?!

"Master, stop."

Little Pine shouted with tears streaming down his face.

"Stop!" the others also shouted loudly, unable to bear seeing Ye Fan like this.

Ye Fan sighed softly and nodded, saying, "Alright."

After careful analysis, he knew this attempt had failed. He could not blast open the ten thousand Daos. His expression was gloomy. He had failed to let everyone become emperors, and he himself had been too severely injured—his primordial spirit had nearly been extinguished.

"..."

Ye Fan let out a great roar, executing a supreme secret technique. He took the place of everyone in suffering calamity, gathering all their heavenly punishments onto himself alone!

Because the ten thousand Daos were about to manifest, and it might become dangerous then. He did not want anything unexpected to happen to everyone.

"I will withdraw and no longer block the ten thousand Daos. Those undergoing tribulation, please restrain yourselves and prepare," Ye Fan transmitted his voice, warning the other supreme experts in the great universe.

"What?" Many people's faces turned pale.

Fortunately, Ye Fan had informed them in time. Many were very decisive, immediately enduring the calamity, suffering the pain of being shattered to pieces as they fiercely resisted, but no longer attempting to become emperors, severing the karmic ties.

Even so, the heavenly punishment that had already manifested would not disappear. It would still strike down, but there would be no subsequent, more dangerous great tribulation.

Ye Fan held on for them a little longer. Finally, he was powerless to defy heaven. He exploded there, letting the ten thousand Daos rush in. He gasped for breath in the sea of thunder, reforming his body.

At last, a Dao sound shook the myriad heavens through the ages, tearing through the ten thousand Daos, piercing straight up through the sky!

At this moment, that beam of light became the sole focus of the universe. Everyone trembled, their bodies shaking. It pierced through the Heavenly Heart and ascended, matching the height of the heavens above.

Golden Crow Great Emperor's just-relaxed heart tightened. He let out a long sigh, saying, "What a Saint Body. You truly have skill. Even so, you still want to create a miracle?!"

At this moment, Ye Fan pierced through the shackles. He no longer slaughtered the ten thousand Daos but instead penetrated them, rising above the ten thousand Daos, trampling all rules beneath him.

He was undergoing his own emperor tribulation!

Golden Crow Great Emperor's imprint and the ten thousand Daos were below, while he was above this. He did not merge his imprint with this universe. He surpassed the heavens, and the aura of a Great Emperor bloomed.

However, precisely because of this, the heavenly tribulation he encountered was even more violent, shaking the entire universe.

The great tribulation continued unabated. Immortal pills appeared. This time, it was not human faces emerging, but one person after another walking forth—an ethereal woman, a majestic man, all like immortals.

This was a great battle. Ye Fan exhausted all his strength, risking life and death.

He stood above the ten thousand Daos, invisible to the world. Only a terrifying aura could be felt spreading. Golden Crow Great Emperor's face changed again and again. He could sense that person undergoing tribulation above his imprint and the ten thousand Daos, standing above them.

"His aura is somewhat similar to my father's when he transformed into a War Immortal in his later years!" The Monkey revealed a shocked expression.

No one knew how much time passed. Heaven and earth grew still. The ten thousand Daos no longer trembled. Old Golden Crow's imprint gathered again, re-merging with this heaven and earth, slowly reforming.

What had happened? No one could know!
