Villainous Cao Cao: Inheriting Everything from the Chosen One

261: Emperor Liu Ruyan at her peak”This... how is this possible?!” Long Aotian’s eyes widened, his voice trembling. ”Eighty-one Sacred Beast Emperor Tribulations, and not a single hair on his head was harmed?”

Feng Jiuxiao murmured blankly, ”His momentum is fully formed; he can no longer be suppressed.”

Bai Zhan’s Face was full of bitterness as he shook his head and sighed. ”I fear my White Tiger Clan will live in his shadow from now on.”

Xuan Zhong’s expression was grave as he said slowly, ”With the Four Sacred Origins unified in one body, the level of this emperor’s physique far surpasses that of an ordinary Physical Body attaining emperorhood.”

”In my view, his current physical strength can likely rival a supreme dao emperor weapon.”

On the field.

Cao Bu carefully sensed the vast power surging within him, a satisfied curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.

A cultivation of Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven, a supreme emperor’s physique forged by the power of the Four Sacred Beasts, plus the many trump cards he held.

Now, his true combat power was enough to rival a real Heavenly Emperor!

The members of the four clans felt a wave of terror and difficulty breathing just by looking at Cao Bu.

They realized with absolute clarity.

A supreme powerhouse who attained emperorhood through the Physical Body had been born!

This was the only one in the Spirit Realm in a million years... no!

The only supreme powerhouse to attain emperorhood through the Physical Body in ten million years.

Attaining emperorhood through the Physical Body was different from doing so through Laws.

There were no restrictions on physical emperorhood, as long as one could survive the Physical Body Emperor Tribulation.

Yet, in ten million years, he was the only one to survive this tribulation, which showed just how difficult attaining emperorhood through the Physical Body was.

It was no exaggeration to say that Cao Bu had made history.

It was enough to warrant ten dedicated pages in the history books of the Spirit Realm.

The shock on Long Aotian’s Face receded, replaced by complex emotions.

As the Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief, he possessed a Great Emperor Eighth Level cultivation.

The Dragon Clan’s physical bodies were the best in the Spirit Realm, yet facing Cao Bu’s newly formed emperor physique, he actually felt an inexplicable pressure.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his churning thoughts, and was the first to step forward with his hands cupped:

”Clan Chief Cao... no, worthy son-in-Law, you are truly a celestial talent to trigger and safely survive the Four Sacred Emperor Tribulation, forging this unprecedented invincible emperor physique! Your father-in-Law is thoroughly impressed!”

Feng Jiuxiao followed closely, the expression on his handsome Face shifting several times before finally settling into a long sigh.

”It is Ni Shang’s fortune to have such a husband, and an honor for my Phoenix Clan.”

These words were difficult for him to say, but they were heartfelt.

The potential Cao Bu displayed had already far surpassed an ordinary Heavenly Emperor; his future was limitless.

Marrying into such a powerhouse was an unprecedentedly smooth path for the clan.

Bai Zhan’s tiger-like eyes widened. He looked at Cao Bu, then at his daughter Bai Shuang in the distance, whose expression was complex. Suddenly, he laughed loudly and strode forward.

”In my life, I, Bai Zhan, only admire the truly strong!”

”You defeated Shuanger and even endured this deadly Physical Body Emperor Tribulation.”

”My White Tiger Clan accepts you as our son-in-Law!”

Having said that, he reached out his fan-like hand and slapped Cao Bu heavily on the shoulder.

The force of this palm was enough to split mountains, yet Cao Bu’s figure didn’t budge. Instead, a counter-shock force traveled back, making Bai Zhan’s palm slightly numb.

A sharp light flashed in Bai Zhan’s eyes, and his laughter became even more hearty: ”Good! What a frame! I’m convinced!”

Xuan Zhong was the most steady and experienced, seeing things most clearly.

He stepped forward slowly, his gaze lingering on Cao Bu’s Four Sacred Emperor Physique for a moment before speaking:

”The powers of the Four Sacred Beasts complement and counteract each other, yet you were able to harmonize and smelt them with a supreme Cultivation Technique to forge a Perfect emperor physique. Such fortune and Heart-Nature, I, Xuan Zhong, admire.”

”Let the past unpleasantness drift away with the wind.”

”From now on, the Black Tortoise Clan is willing to maintain eternal friendship with the Gu Clan and seek the Great Dao together.”

His words were flawless, acknowledging Cao Bu’s strength and status while downplaying past conflicts, setting a harmonious tone for future relations.

Long Qingxin stood where she was, her green robes swaying gently in the wind.

She looked at the man who had become her husband, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

Proud as she was, she had to admit that this man, who had dominantly barged into her life, possessed potential that even she had to look up to.

Feng Nishang’s beautiful eyes were bright, filled with deep scrutiny and thought.

The worship of the strong in Bai Shuang’s bones overflowed.

She pursed her lovely lips, and in her gaze toward Cao Bu, the last of her unwillingness turned into submission.

Xuan You was the calmest.

A Four Sacred Emperor Physique, a body comparable to a supreme dao emperor weapon—this meant that as long as Cao Bu didn’t fall prematurely, he was destined for Immortal Ascension in the future.

Becoming the Dao Companion of such a being, whether for personal cultivation or the clan’s interests, was definitely not a bad thing once the initial unpleasantness was set aside.

She let out a soft breath, and that bit of resentment in her heart vanished with her rational weighing of the situation.

Her gaze toward Cao Bu held a silent acceptance.

Cao Bu took in the change in the four Clan Chiefs’ attitudes and was well aware of the subtle changes in the four women’s expressions.

With a thought, he restrained the suffocating Emperors Might around him. A perfectly measured smile appeared on his Face as he cupped his hands in a polite gesture to those around him:

”Honored fathers-in-Law, you overstate things.”

”That I could luckily succeed is inseparable from the nourishment of the Four Sacred Realm and the gifts from you all.”

”My previous actions may have been hasty and abrupt, but they were all driven by fate. I hope you can be magnanimous.”

”Now that we are joined by marriage, the Gu Clan and the Four Sacred Realm are one family. We should naturally be closely linked, support each other, and explore the supreme Great Dao together.”

These words gave the four clans plenty of Face, downplaying the previous forced acquisition as a matter of fate and marital bonds, while establishing a tone for future win-win cooperation.

Of course, these were just formal pleasantries.

The Gu Clan was destined to fall, so naturally, there would be no further interaction with the four clans.

Hearing this, the four Clan Chiefs’ expressions softened even more, and they all nodded: ”Our son-in-Law is right!”

Cao Bu nodded and turned his gaze to the four women: ”Qingxin, Ni Shang, Shuanger, You’er, follow me back to the Gu Clan.”

The four women looked at each other.

Long Qingxin nodded slightly, Feng Nishang gave a light nod as her eyes flickered, Bai Shuang clenched her fists before finally letting go, and Xuan You silently stepped forward half a pace.

”Father, take care.”

The four women bowed to their respective fathers to say goodbye, their voices filled with deep reluctance.

Long Aotian and the other three looked at their daughters, their hearts filled with emotion, which finally turned into heavy instructions.

”Since you have married, you should naturally take your husband as your heaven, abide by your duties, assist him and raise your children, and maintain a harmonious household.”

The four women looked at each other and spoke in unison: ”We will keep our fathers’ teachings in mind.”

Cao Bu said no more. He cupped his hands again to the four Clan Chiefs, then turned his gaze to Fang Ruodan, who had been standing quietly to the side.

Fang Ruodan understood. She raised her slender hand and made a stroke in the air, silently opening a stable spatial tunnel before everyone.

Cao Bu stepped in first, with Fang Ruodan following closely.

Long Qingxin and the three other women looked back reluctantly at the four Clan Chiefs before finally stepping into the tunnel one by one.

With a flash of light, the tunnel closed, and the six figures completely disappeared from the sky above the Four Sacred Square.

Leaving behind countless clan members with complex expressions and hearts that were difficult to calm.

As well as the four Clan Chiefs who stood for a long time, staring at the sky in silence... At the same moment Cao Bu achieved his Four Sacred Emperor Physique.

A majestic, vast aura of physical emperorhood, distinct from that of an ordinary Law Emperor, swept from the Four Sacred Realm toward the entire Spirit Realm!

This aura was ancient, powerful, and filled with the most primitive sense of strength.

It also contained the clear might of the Azure Dragon, the flames of the Phoenix, the slaughter of the White Tiger, and the heaviness of the Black Tortoise, instantly alarming all the Great Emperors in the Spirit Realm.

In a certain place of secluded cultivation.

Ye Heavenly Emperor suddenly opened his eyes, sword light bursting from them as he looked directly toward the Yao State.

For the first time, a look of disbelief appeared on his eternally unchanging Face:

”The auras of the Four Sacred Beasts unified? Physical Body attainment?! Who is this sacred being? To actually be able to walk this nearly extinct ancient Body Refining path?”

”Moreover, the Four Sacred Origins contained in this aura are so pure and vast. Could it be one of those four in the Four Sacred Realm who broke through?”

”No! Their methods aren’t like this. Who exactly is it?!”

Deep within the infinite Void Realm.

Huang Heavenly Emperor slowly looked up and whispered to himself.

”Physical Body Emperor Tribulation, Four Sacred unification. Interesting.”

”How long has it been since such a terrifying Physical Body Emperor appeared in the Spirit Realm?”

”Judging by the direction, it’s the Yao State’s Four Sacred Realm. Did those four conservative fellows cultivate a freak, or did someone steal their fortune?”

Within a Forbidden Ground.

Chu Heavenly Emperor let out a laugh full of Battle Intent: ”Hahaha! Good! What a world-shakingly powerful Physical Body!”

”The powers of the Four Sacred Beasts melted in one furnace. Truly an excellent opponent!”

”My fists are already itching for a fight!”

Sword Province, Illusory Sound Workshop.

The stone door of the secluded cultivation chamber slowly opened, and a peerless silhouette stepped out gracefully; it was Liu Ruyan.

”After several years of seclusion, I have finally reached the Great Emperor Peak.”

She whispered to herself, then seemingly sensing something, she suddenly looked up toward the Yao State, a deep sense of doubt flashing in her beautiful eyes:

”Although this new physical Emperors Might is difficult to pinpoint exactly, why does it give me an inexplicable sense of familiarity?”

At this moment, several core Elders of the Illusory Sound Workshop instantly appeared before her and bowed respectfully: ”We welcome the Workshop Master back from seclusion!”

Liu Ruyan withdrew her gaze and scanned the people before her, her voice returning to its usual cold majesty:

”Compile the major and minor events that have occurred in the Spirit Realm during my years of seclusion into a record and bring it to me immediately.”

”Yes, Workshop Master!” Several Elders bowed and quickly retreated.

Liu Ruyan looked toward the Yao State again, her brow furrowing slightly as she murmured, ”With my current cultivation and perception, I shouldn’t be mistaken.”

”But how is this possible? It’s only been a few years.”

”He has already attained Physical Body emperorhood?”

For a time, the Spirit Realm was in turmoil, with undercurrents surging.

All the major Immortal Emperor Clans and hidden old monsters turned their gazes toward the Yao State and the Four Sacred Realm with curiosity, scrutiny, or wariness.

The Spirit Realm, which had not been quiet for long, was stirred once again because Cao Bu had forged the Four Sacred Emperor Physique.

Before the final arrival of the Ten-Year Promise, this was undoubtedly a strong seasoning.

At this moment, Cao Bu, the source of this great earthquake, had already quietly returned to the Gu Clan with Fang Ruodan and the four other women...”}],
