Perfection: The Eastern Emperor Bell manifests, I am the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor

Chapter 78 Still Number One
The myriad realms still maintain order, upheld by a few supreme beings, among whom is the Emperor Xi, who sits in the east, wielding the power of the sun, his radiance illuminating endless territories.

The darkness on the other side of the border sea is not unknown to anyone.

The powerful figures at the top had already noticed that the ominous and oppressive atmosphere was growing stronger day by day.

The supreme beings like Xi Huang seem to have been actively preparing for war. The Heavenly Patrol Ceremony is, to some extent, a way of demonstrating power to all living beings and stabilizing their hearts.

Ever since that day at Shengyang Square, when Xi Huang's gaze inadvertently swept over him, Lu Xuan has completely calmed down.

He clearly sensed that this weak body and this world exerted an invisible pressure and repulsion on him, a person from the future.

That supreme divine power originating from the mural was like an invisible chain, protecting his soul from being crushed by the complete Great Dao of the Fallen Emperor Era.

This also limits the full potential of his abilities.

He had a strong intuition that if he were to forcefully unleash his Celestial King essence and break free from the constraints of this supreme body, the fragile balance that maintained his existence would be instantly shattered.

He will be ruthlessly "jumped out" of this era, and may even suffer unimaginable backlash.

"Very well... Since that's how it is, I'll use this body to embark on the path of cultivation once more!"

A sharp glint flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes.

For him, cultivation level was not a constraint; what truly mattered was the understanding of the essence of the Great Dao.

He possesses the realm and vision of a Celestial King, the supreme principle of "severing the three corpses," and the supreme inheritance of Donghuang Taiyi. Even if he starts from scratch, his speed will far surpass any so-called genius in this world!

He was no longer anxious and began to cultivate anew in the body of this young golden crow.

He did not directly reveal his extraordinary methods, but instead first and foremost seamlessly integrated into the era.

He cultivated the orthodox "Ancient Sun Scripture" of the Golden Crow Clan, absorbing the essence of the sun and the vital energy of heaven and earth that were many times purer and more concentrated than those of later generations.

However, his cultivation method contained the later generations' understanding of the simplicity of the Great Dao, as well as the initial application of the concept of harmonizing Yin and Yang and clarifying the self in the Three Corpses Severing Method.

His progress was so rapid that it left all his tribesmen speechless.

Within a few years, he broke through from the Venerable Realm, ignited the divine fire, and achieved godhood.

More than a decade later, he transcended tribulation and became a saint. His saintly power swept across the ancient Fusang tree, causing a small-scale sensation.

A century has passed, and he has already stepped into the realm of gods, beginning to stand out among the younger generation of the Golden Crow Clan.

His rise to power was not without its challenges.

As a powerful clan during the era of the Fallen Emperors, the Golden Crow Clan faced fierce internal competition and numerous hostile forces from the outside world.

Some of his fellow clansmen, jealous of his rapid progress, came to challenge him.

An unparalleled genius from a subordinate race seeks to rise to fame by stepping on him.

Furthermore, powerful races hostile to the Golden Crow Clan sent assassins to kill them.

However, all the challenges and conspiracies seemed laughable in the face of Lu Xuan.

Although he only has the cultivation level of a Celestial God, his combat awareness and understanding of the Great Dao are truly at the level of an Immortal King!

In battles between opponents of the same level, he often only needs one move!
The seemingly simple Sun God Technique, in his hands, was transformed from the mundane into the miraculous, containing the supreme mysteries of the generation of chaos and the rotation of yin and yang, and its power far exceeded the understanding of his peers.

He swept through the enemy ranks, defeating all the geniuses within his clan, suppressing the prodigies of subordinate races, and even killing assassins from opposing forces. He was unmatched!
His reputation began to spread from within the Golden Crow Clan to the outside world.

"The Golden Crow Clan has produced an extraordinary cub! A Celestial God Realm expert capable of defeating a Void Dao Realm (True God) powerhouse!"

"I've heard he possesses a strange solar magic, seemingly containing the power to create the world!" "This child has the potential to become a young immortal king!"

Various rumors began to circulate among the younger generation.

Lu Xuan ignored these empty titles. While cultivating, he secretly observed the era, searching for the man in the mural who resembled him.

He could feel the underlying sense of oppression in the world slowly deepening over time.

Occasionally, a heart-pounding fluctuation would emanate from the direction of the Boundary Sea; though faint, it could not escape his spiritual sense.

On this day, the grand gathering of geniuses from all races was held at the "Meteor Ancient Battlefield" on the border of the Xihuang Divine Kingdom.

This is the highest-level competition among the younger generation in the era of imperial decline, aimed at selecting the most outstanding talents.

It is said that those who perform exceptionally well may even receive personal guidance from the Emperor Xi, or even be selected for the reserve legion to conquer the Boundary Sea!
Lu Xuan represents the younger generation of the Golden Crow Clan in the grand event.

The ancient battlefield of meteorites is paved with countless shattered star remains, vast and boundless.

Prodigies from various powerful clans, sacred mountains, and ancient sects gathered here, including true dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, and kunpengs...

Various bloodline descendants who only appeared in legends appeared one after another, with powerful auras and divine light soaring into the sky. The lowest level was the peak of the Heavenly God, and there were many top figures in the Void Dao Realm!

The grand event begins, and the contestants clash in the arena.

Lu Xuan's incarnation as a small golden crow did not manifest a particularly large form; it maintained a relatively small size, its entire body radiating a dark golden luster, and its eyes calm and profound.

His opponents were all renowned geniuses.

There are descendants of true dragons, whose roars unleash their mighty power, tearing the sky apart;

He possesses the bloodline of an ancient demonic ape, his staff's shadow is as large as a mountain, disrupting the balance of Yin and Yang;
They are descendants of primordial deities, wielding thunder and acting as agents of divine punishment…

However, they all paled in comparison to Lu Xuan.

He might extend a claw, subtly implying the creation of chaos, easily tearing apart the dragon race's strongest defensive divine power;
Or, with a single wing slash, the true fire of the sun is contained to its extreme, transforming into an invisible blade that incinerates all laws, severing the demonic ape's iron rod.
Or perhaps it opens its mouth and inhales, swallowing the raging lightning like sweet spring water, refining it into pure essence...

His fighting style was full of effortless beauty, as if it were not a life-or-death struggle, but an interpretation of profound truths.

He demonstrated exquisite control over power, precise timing in battle, and a profound understanding of the nature of various supernatural abilities.

The older generation of powerful figures from various races watching from the high platform were all moved, their eyes filled with astonishment and doubt.

"This child... his understanding of the Dao far surpasses his current level!"

"When did the Golden Crow Clan produce such a freak?"

"His method... seems to originate from the same source as His Majesty the Emperor's Way of the Sun, yet it is subtly different, being more... ancient and profound!"

Lu Xuan triumphed all the way, defeating all the prodigies of various races and becoming invincible!

His fame swept through the entire event like a storm, making him the most dazzling new star!

In the final battle, he faced a peerless genius from the Nine Nether Hound Clan named You Lu, whose cultivation had reached the peak of the Void Dao Realm. He was incredibly fierce and had once torn apart a true dragon of the same level with his bare hands!
This is a highly anticipated battle, and everyone expects it to be a fierce and intense contest.

However, the result left all the spectators stunned.

Faced with the overwhelming and deadly attack unleashed by Youlu's avatar, which summoned the deathly energy of the Nine Netherworlds, Lu Xuan, who had transformed into a little golden crow, simply raised his right claw calmly.
