Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 14 The Master of the Black Market's Top-Tier Hall
The ultimate realm, resonating with all the gods!
Centered on the training ground, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth throughout the entire mansion was drawn in and surged toward Emperor Yi, forming a blood-red pillar of light that shot into the void a hundred feet high.

If it weren't for the array blocking the way, countless martial artists inside the First-Class Hall would have witnessed this scene.

Around the pillar of light, ancient phantoms appeared, some with nine heads, some humanoid holding demonic swords, some with human bodies and ram heads, some resembling golden insects, and some resembling dragons and phoenixes...

Each phantom exuded an incomparably powerful aura, resembling both gods and demons, almost like the ruler of all things in the universe.

"The gods manifest their divine power, and all living beings bow in worship."

Shion, who was waiting quietly to the side, knelt on the ground devoutly and worshipped the phantoms of the gods.

Gods, supreme and unparalleled, exist only in legends. After the Middle Ages, the Heavenly Tree was cut down, and no gods have appeared in the Kunlun Realm since. Only during large-scale sacrificial ceremonies will the gods manifest.

At this moment, the phantoms of the gods appeared above Emperor Yi's head and in the Black Market's First-Class Hall, a miracle for the entire Universe Heaven.

The phantoms of the gods lasted for a moment before transforming into specks of light that flew into Di Yi's brow and fell into the Qi Pool. The crimson divine aura merged into it, causing the Qi Pool, which had already reached its limit, to expand once more.

Emperor Yifu was filled with joy, his body enveloped in divine light and holy radiance. He activated the Heavenly Demon Suppressing Prison Diagram and, with the help of the gods, began to break through to the Profound Realm.

A moment later, the Qi pool shattered and reformed, condensing into a Qi lake, while the phantom images of the gods landed on the barrier at the edge of the Qi sea, transforming into illusory divine marks.

The Qi Pool of the Yellow Realm, the Qi Lake of the Profound Realm, and the Qi Sea of ​​the Earth Realm are different names for the place between the eyebrows where martial arts true qi is stored at different stages.

The Qi Lakes of the world are roughly divided into three levels: the ordinary Qi Lake of ordinary martial artists, the Holy Light Qi Lake opened by a Holy Body, and the [Divine Light Qi Lake] opened after reaching the Supreme Realm and attracting the resonance of the gods.

Emperor Yi was originally a Five Elements Saint Body, and he also attracted the Supreme Realm. At this moment, divine light swirled in the Qi Lake, and the holy radiance was boundless. It was the best of the best among the divine light Qi Lakes.

As he successfully broke through to the next realm, the crimson pillar of light dissipated along with the phantoms of the gods.

Emperor Yi stood still, carefully experiencing the changes within his body and absorbing the boundless benefits brought by the Supreme Realm.

Half an hour later, he had completely digested the divine aura, and with the help of the divine power, the originally illusory ninth vortex in his sea of ​​consciousness was completely condensed.

The azure light in the vortex converged and transformed into a blue lotus seed that fell into the Purple Mansion. The previously unmoving spiritual power level also improved, stepping into the threshold of the thirtieth level.

Although the array outside the mansion could block out the movements inside, it could not fool everyone.

The Nascent Soul Half-Saint who had been keeping a watchful eye on Emperor Yi was the first to sense it and immediately descended in his true form to guard the gate of the mansion and protect Emperor Yi.

The First-Class Hall is a place where hidden talents reside. Many powerful individuals have noticed the changes here and have sent out their holy thoughts to investigate, but they have all been forcefully blocked by Nascent Soul and Half-Saints, who have prevented them from spying.

The saints were naturally dissatisfied, and some with fiery tempers wanted to descend in their true forms.

But the next moment, all the holy thoughts retreated on their own and disappeared without a trace.

At the end of the long street outside the mansion, a tall figure in a black robe walked through the snow. He was completely covered by the black robe and wore a heavy hood, making it impossible to see his face.

Upon seeing this figure, the Nascent Soul Half-Saint breathed a sigh of relief and bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Hall Master."

This figure in black robes is the head of the Black Market's First-Class Hall, one of the most prominent figures in the Black Market.

"No need for formalities. Please come with me to meet the young prodigy of my black market."

Laughter emanated from beneath the black robe, revealing the leader of the Black Market's First-Class Hall; he was clearly in a very good mood.

"I obey my orders!"

The figure in black robes bypassed the Nascent Soul and Half-Saint levels, passing directly through the defensive formation outside the mansion. The formation, capable of blocking Half-Saints, was like air before him. In the training ground, Di Yi drew a short sword from the side, controlling it with his qi, and unleashed the Heavenly Heart Sword Technique. The twelve forms of the Heavenly Heart Sword Technique flew like white rainbows in his hands, the sword qi surging as it slashed towards the swirling snowflakes.

Upon reaching the Profound Realm, a martial artist possesses abundant true qi within their body, enabling them to project it outwards. Wherever their sword qi reaches, it is enough to kill from a distance.

He sheathed his sword, tossed the short sword to Ziyuan, and then walked to the edge of the training ground.

Despite the cold winter, several peach trees by the field showed signs of budding, with pale pink flower buds faintly visible.

The blazing energy of the Heart of the Flame Demon incinerated the snow within dozens of feet. When it broke through to the Supreme Realm, the power of the Five Elements Sacred Body and the divine aura of the resonance with the gods dissipated and were contaminated by these peach trees, causing them to misjudge the seasons and choose to sprout in this cold winter.

"The supreme realm, the resonance of all gods, has not been reached in the black market for many years."

A steady voice, tinged with a faint smile, rang out.

A figure in black robes and a Nascent Soul Half-Saint appeared one after the other at the edge of the training ground.

"Emperor Yi, the Hall Master's Holy Sense has detected that you have reached the Supreme Realm, and he has specially appeared to see you," the Nascent Soul Half-Saint reminded him with a smile.

Ziyuan, who was standing nearby, was shocked to hear this. She never expected that the young master's breakthrough would attract the attention of the hall master.

"Greetings, Hall Master; greetings, Nascent Soul Half-Saint."

Emperor Yi was also startled upon hearing this and bowed to the two of them.

"Di Yi greets the Hall Master and the Nascent Soul Senior."

The figure in the black robe removed his hood, revealing the face of a middle-aged man in his forties. He deliberately concealed his holy aura, allowing Di Yifang to see his true appearance.

"No need for formalities. I sensed that the spiritual veins beneath the First-Class Hall were being drawn by a powerful force, causing fluctuations. Upon tracing the source, I discovered that someone had reached the Supreme Realm, which resonated with the gods."

"Di Yi, that's a good name. The Di family has been facing a generational gap in recent years, but this generation has produced someone like you."

"Thank you for your praise, Hall Master." Emperor Yi dared not be negligent in the slightest towards the person in front of him. The Hall Master of the First-Class Hall of the Black Market was a figure on the same level as the Nine Nether Sword Saint, and was far stronger than the Saint Yulong who had lectured in the Broken Army Hall before.

The head of Yipintang reached out and patted his shoulder, like a kind elder instructing a junior.

"You possess the Five Elements Sacred Body and the Heart of the Fiery Demon, and now you have achieved the Supreme Realm, laying the most outstanding foundation in the world. However, I hope you will not become arrogant and complacent, and you must guard against pride and impetuosity."

"The Supreme Realm of the Yellow Extreme Realm is just the beginning. Of the four realms of martial arts, I hope you can reach the remaining three Supreme Realms in the future."

Di Yi looked at the man in front of him. He seemed ordinary, yet there was an unknown magic about him that made Di Yi feel a sense of familiarity for no reason.

"I will remember the teachings of the Catholic Church."

The head of Yipintang smiled and nodded, his gaze sweeping over Ziyuan kneeling to the side and the Nascent Soul Half-Saint beside him.

"What happened today must not be told to outsiders."

"Yes, sir!" The Nascent Soul Half-Saint immediately accepted the order respectfully.

Ziyuan knelt on the ground, enveloped by an invisible holy aura, feeling as if she were an ant facing a god, and endless terror arose in her heart.

Fortunately, this divine power came and went quickly.

"You have reached the supreme realm of the Yellow Realm, and I should bestow a reward upon you. However, I have not yet decided on the reward. I will send someone to deliver it in a few days."
