Chapter 2346: Chapter 2343: Emperor and Emperor’s Artifact

[Here is the second update for today.]

Emperor!

Mastery over the universe, supremacy over the Heavenly Vault!

These two words represent the accumulation of Wan Gu, through the ages, throughout the billions of years, in the evolution of the Martial Arts World, any being referred to as ”Emperor” is like a Qilin Horn, a supreme existence, controlling this world!

For a supreme figure in the Emperor Realm, charging a million miles in an instant is not difficult, plucking stars and fishing the moon, shattering the Heavenly Vault, is not out of the question. Such truly supreme divine power makes any other cultivator, no matter how strong, pale in comparison to the beings in the Emperor Realm, insignificant!

Since time immemorial, from the birth of the Martial Arts World, the Emperor Realm has been the cultivation all cultivators pursue, however, those supreme figures who have reached the Emperor Realm are transcended above all cultivators, are those who truly reached the Martial Arts Peak, who control this Martial Arts World with the most secrets, pursuing their footsteps is very difficult, and in the long years without instances of immortality in the Martial Arts world, these supreme beings in the Emperor Realm have all disappeared without a trace, and the legends each left in the Martial Arts World are endless and varied, no one knows whether they are still alive, if they have sat down in sublimation, or have broken through the barriers of the Immortal Domain and entered into it?

Since the birth of the Martial Arts World until now, there are roughly ten or so supreme figures in the Emperor Realm who left names and legends behind, but since the late Ancient Era, not a single cultivating being has become an Emperor, thus this Martial Arts World has become one dominated by ”Saints”, although the strength of Saints is also very powerful, some beings in the Saint Realm can even exert part of the Emperor Realm’s strength, however, they still cannot reach the degree of supreme figures in the Emperor Realm who control the Heavenly Vault with a thought or overshadow the sky with a finger, this is an absolute power gap, a gap in understanding of Taoism!

Since the late Ancient Era, no cultivating being has become an Emperor, and it seems that the Magic Laws of the Martial Arts World have suddenly become enigmatic, no matter how talented a being is, no matter how defiant a cultivator is, they are unable to break through to the Emperor Realm, causing billions of beings in the Martial Arts World to feel a fear, a despair!

No supreme figure in the Emperor Realm has appeared again, whether in the past or now, the figure of Martial Arts supreme strong is absent, yet the artifacts that allow people to pursue traces of Emperors have always circulated in the Martial Arts World, they are ”Emperor’s Artifacts!”

Emperor’s Artifacts, as the name implies, are treasures used by supreme figures in the Emperor Realm!

A being who can reach the Martial Arts Extreme, one who can become a supreme figure in the Emperor Realm, has often undergone countless life and death experiences, countless bloody storms, countless times of perilous moments, unknown how many genius prodigies died beneath their feet, becoming their stepping stones. Accompanying these supreme figures were not family or friends, nor foes, but countless times the Emperor’s Artifact aided them in slaughter, helping them step upwards!

It can be imagined, in the Martial Arts World, ordinary beings rarely reach a hundred years old, while a cultivator’s life span increases as their cultivation realm strengthens, of course, this is just a natural law, not excluding natural disasters or man-made misfortunes, not excluding encountering stronger beings and being killed at any time during the process!

Moreover, beings who reach the Saint Realm can generally live up to five thousand years, but supreme figures in the Emperor Realm, their lifespan is calculated differently, they can live up to thirty thousand years, in the eyes of ordinary people, this is terrifying longevity, however, merely from the comparison of lifespan length, supreme figures in the Emperor Realm who reached the Martial Arts supreme position, and those in realms below, their lifespan length is totally different, the difference is incredibly vast!

Thus, supreme figures in the Emperor Realm, their lifespan so long that even if their family, their friends, or for that matter enemies, are not killed, within the long river of time, their spirit and form would vanish, no bones would remain!

What can truly accompany such a supreme strong, until the end are only Emperor’s Artifacts, and many cultivator beings in later generations are amazed at one thing, that is, supreme figures in the Emperor Realm, whether dead or immortally ascended, no longer appear in the Martial Arts World, yet their Emperor’s Artifacts continue to exist, always leaving traces in this Martial Arts World!

This indeed arouses a lot of bewilderment, and amazement, if supreme figures in the Emperor Realm died, yet their Emperor’s Artifacts still exist with terrifying pressure, could the lifespan of Emperor’s Artifacts be longer than that of the Emperors themselves? Put another way, what if supreme figures in the Emperor Realm broke through to the Immortal Domain and became immortal, but why would they leave their Emperor’s Artifacts in the Martial Arts World? Is there no combat or campaigns in the Immortal Domain?

In later generations, strong martial artists from powerful, ancient inheritances have found treasures left by Emperor figures, seeking to claim and control them, but it is not an easy task, Emperors are gone, Emperor’s Artifacts remain eternally, this is intrinsically a strange phenomenon, and while Emperor’s Artifacts exist in the world, they are difficult to control, the pressure exerted by themselves can annihilate even Saint Realm powerhouses, without stunning methods, who dares to touch them?

However, Emperor’s Artifacts carry an irresistible allure for any being or inheritance, because a treasure that evolves into an Emperor’s Artifact must have endured numerous hardships, and an Emperor’s Artifact has accompanied a supreme strong, traveling the farthest distance, from an Emperor’s weakness to strength, through countless battles, countless slaughters, stepping on piles of bones, until reaching the Martial Arts Peak, Emperor’s Artifacts witnessed it all, and are the objects that supreme figures in the Emperor Realm most engage with, therefore, obtaining an Emperor’s Artifact and mastering it not only grants immense power but also may unveil the secrets of a Great Emperor, possibly even acquiring the Emperor’s inheritance!

It is rumored that Emperors disappear and Emperor’s Artifacts remain, because supreme figures in the Emperor Realm, upon departing or leaving the Martial Arts World, wish to leave something behind, even leaving their inheritance within their Emperor’s Artifacts. Thus, mastering an Emperor’s Artifact not only means possessing a frightening treasure but potentially exploring the secrets of a Great Emperor, understanding some of what this Great Emperor controls!

”Since you have agreed, then it’s settled; whoever eliminates the one who killed the Feather Clan member must contribute the spell for this part of the Emperor’s Artifact!” Yutian chuckled coldly.

”No problem, with this Earth in isolation, if either of us gains control of half of this Emperor’s Artifact, then we will be the most powerful, completely dominating Earth, no need to worry even if venturing into unknown forbidden zones!” Feather Earth likewise smiled.

”Let’s see who wins!” Yutian nodded and said.

”Alright, let’s wait and see!” Feather Earth nodded in agreement.

Yutian, Feather Earth, and the Feather Clan member who was killed by Ye Tianchen all come from the same inheritance, a well-known ”Feather Clan” legacy in the Martial Arts World. When the Martial Arts World’s Magic Laws became chaotic, Earth’s laws also changed accordingly, and when doors opened wide, Feather Clan immediately dispatched these three with secret techniques to send them to Earth, all sharing a common task, though this task remains unknown to outsiders!

When these three arrived on Earth, given that Earth had been isolated from the Martial Arts World for so long, many beings from other powerful inheritances were wary, unsure of the current state of Earth, wondering whether it had no martial artists left, or perhaps birthed the strongest beings. In such uncertainty, Feather Clan used half of an Emperor’s Artifact, entrusting it to Yutian, Feather Earth, and the Feather Clan member, though fearing these three might exploit each other or encounter anomalies, they divided the spell to activate this half of an Emperor’s Artifact into three parts, each disciple holding one part, requiring all three to chant it together to wield the power of the half artifact!

Upon arriving on Earth, Yutian, Feather Earth, and the Feather Clan member relied on their strength, eliminating many martial artists on Earth and obliterating many powerful inheritances, though they encountered unexpected formidable characters. However, these three were themselves young powerhouses from the Feather Clan, plus holding half of an Emperor’s Artifact when activated together, even Saint Realm strong would struggle to cope!

Moreover, these three harbor their own ulterior motives, inwardly coveting the power of half an Emperor’s Artifact, though only half, once mastering its complete power may grant strength akin to Saints or even surpass them; in an era devoid of Emperors, with Saints invincible, whoever controls this half artifact would be undefeated in their generation, who wouldn’t be tempted?
