Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 58 Nine Absolute Genius
In front of the Nine Absolutes Pagoda in Wenqu Hall.

Di Yi stood outside the tower gate, holding the Wuti Sword in his hand. The Wenqu Palace Fish-Dragon Realm expert guarding the gate wisely did not say anything and opened the entrance, allowing him to enter the tower.

The seven Nine Absolute Towers in the Seven Star Hall of the Black Market were all built at the same time, and the guardian spirits inside the towers were all the young Evil Emperor Xia Han from eight hundred years ago.

After several years, Emperor Yi stepped into the Nine Absolutes Tower once again, and he was confident enough to become a Nine Absolutes Genius.

The journey to Tianmo Ridge did not involve too much killing, but the essence of the killing was to temper one's character and will. This was something that Di Yi had already been tempered through countless trials in the dark world when he underwent the test of the Twin Lotus of Guixu.

On the arena, a familiar figure of the Spirit Void materialized, this time a young man of sixteen or seventeen.

"It seems you're ready to challenge yourself to become one of the Nine Absolute Geniuses," Lingxu Ti said with a faint smile, curiously examining Di Yi.

He was merely a spiritual entity condensed from the Nine Absolutes Tower, and had no direct connection with the Evil Emperor himself. In fact, he was more like the Evil Emperor in his youth, the young and spirited prodigy of the Xia family who had made a name for himself.

"After some training outside, I'm now somewhat confident." Di Yi looked at him, his aura subdued, showing neither fighting spirit nor killing intent, remaining extremely calm.

Lingxu Body had once clashed with the young prodigies of the five regions of Kunlun Realm. He was knowledgeable and saw the changes in Di Yi. These changes did not stem from improvements in his realm or physique, but rather from a state of mind, or rather, his experience.

This was what Di Yi lacked most before, but now it has been replenished.

“Your current cultivation level is at the Great Perfection of the Earth Realm. According to the rules of the Nine Absolute Tower, I will unleash a power equivalent to the Great Perfection of the Heaven Realm.”

"Defeat me, and you will become the Nine Absolute Genius."

Di Yi nodded slightly, and with a thought, the Crow Cry Sword in his hand flew out automatically.

"Make your move, Senior Xia."

Lingxu was slightly taken aback. Looking at Di Yi holding the sword, he recalled the figure holding the Abyss Sword many years ago. The Crown Prince of the Holy Central Empire had also been like this, alone with his sword, full of vigor and spirit.

Unfortunately, he died under Chi Yao's sword without knowing why; otherwise, he would have been a worthy opponent on his path of cultivation.

The Emperor Yi before him was not as powerful as the Crown Prince of the Holy Emperor back then, but his strength at the same level was already superior to everyone from eight hundred years ago. Whether it was the Crown Prince of the Holy Emperor, Princess Qingchi Yao, or even himself, they would all be defeated in a battle at the same level.

"Let me test you and see if you have the level of a genius of the Nine Absolutes."

A rare surge of fighting spirit rose from Lingxu's body, and a Star Burial Halberd materialized in his hand. The halberd was nine feet long, and its blade gleamed like frost.

The emperor's expression remained unchanged, his heart was calmer than ever before, and every inch of his body was at its peak.

The next instant, he drew his sword, unleashing the Hades Sword Technique enhanced with the power of a clear and focused sword mind.

"kill!"

Lingxu roared, and a purple Qilin martial soul emerged from behind him. The Burial Star Halberd was swung like a full moon, carrying the power to split mountains and cleave rivers to meet the sword strike from Emperor Yi.

Sword and halberd lights exploded on the arena, and true energy surged in all directions. Both figures were moving at their maximum speed. Di Yi did not use his full speed, fearing that reaching the speed of sound would prematurely attract the Supreme Realm. Fortunately, the arena was limited in size, and speed alone would not affect the final battle.

Swords and halberds clashed, and the two men held nothing back with their fists and palms. Di Yi used the moves of Hell King Claw and Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm to attack Ling Xuti.

The power of the Dark Martial Soul was also activated by Di Yi to counter the Qilin Martial Soul of the Spirit Void Body.

The two fought fiercely for hundreds of rounds, exhausting all their skills, and both suffered serious injuries. Di Yi's black robe was shattered, revealing his muscular upper body covered with claw marks.

Opposite him, the Star Burial Halberd in Lingxuti's hand was severed, leaving only the hilt.

The damage to Lingxu was even more severe than that to Di Yi. His body was covered in sword marks. Looking at the halberd hilt in his hand, he stopped attacking and fell into a brief silence.

As the power of the five elements circulated, the wounds on Emperor's body healed rapidly, returning him to their original state. He stood with his sword raised, looked at Lingxu Body, and said, "I have won this battle."

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying dark power erupted from Lingxu's body, tearing him apart, devouring him, and exploding in an instant.

During their previous encounter, Di Yi concealed a dark power within each of his sword strikes. After cultivating the Heavenly Demon Black Hole Diagram to the sixth level, he was already able to utilize dark power in combat.

The power of darkness seeped in silently, gradually accumulating without the Spirit Void Body's awareness, and finally coalescing into a final killing move that determined the outcome.

Standing on the arena, Di Yi looked around. The surroundings were more open than ever before. He had passed the final test of the Nine Absolutes Tower and become a Nine Absolutes Genius.

Nine is an extreme number, but reaching the Nine Perfections is not the limit of genius. Reaching this level means having infinite possibilities in the future and the possibility of catching up with the ancient sages.

There is an unwritten rule in the Black Market First-Class Hall: whoever passes the ninth floor of the Nine Absolutes Tower will become the young master of the Black Market First-Class Hall.

A moment later, a hazy figure appeared on the arena. It was not the previous Lingxu body, but the spirit of the Nine Absolutes Tower.

"Di Yi, congratulations on passing the Nine Absolute Tower and becoming a Nine Absolute Genius. I have already sent the news to Lord Evil Emperor."

“A genius of the Nine Absolutes can directly become the young master of the First-Class Hall in the Black Market. As long as I pass this message on to the saints of the First-Class Hall now, you can immediately become the young master of the First-Class Hall in the Black Market.”

Upon hearing this, Di Yi pondered for a moment and shook his head, saying, "Please, senior, do not reveal the secret of my passing the ninth level of the Nine Absolutes Tower for the time being."

The spirit of the Nine Absolutes Pagoda nodded, not surprised.

The birth of a genius of the Nine Absolutes would cause a huge uproar throughout the Kunlun Realm if word got out. Di Yi would immediately become a thorn in the side of all forces in the Kunlun Realm, and even the Saints might not be able to resist taking action to eliminate him in advance.

With the Evil Emperor in charge, Di Yi is naturally not in any danger. However, Di Yi cannot stay in the Universal Heaven forever. Although the title of Nine Absolute Genius is great, it is too easy to attract attention and will push Di Yi into the eye of the storm.

After waiting for a while, the spirit of the Nine Absolutes Tower received a message from the Evil Emperor, who laughed and said, "The Evil Emperor already knows that you have passed through the Nine Absolutes Tower, and has set the final battle for the position of Young Master of the First-Class Hall for a year from now. It will be a battle between people of the same realm, and the winner will be the Young Master."

Having received a satisfactory answer, Di Yi cupped his hands towards the void, thanked the Evil Emperor, and also thanked the spirit of the Nine Absolutes Tower. He then sheathed his sword and walked out of the Nine Absolutes Tower.

In a battle within the same realm, which of the several candidates for the young master would be a match for the Nine Absolute Geniuses? In the competition for the young master a year later, Emperor Yi had already secured victory in advance.

A new chapter begins, and updates will resume at two per day.

The recommendation effect is not very good. It only gains a few dozen favorites per day. Fanfiction of the ancient era is indeed not very effective at attracting readers, and it is unlikely to enter the next round of recommendations.

The author needs to start stockpiling chapters for the book's release! I'll update like crazy once it's published!
