317: The flawed jade is the king (56).

Wang Yun found an open space and also sat down cross-legged.

Just as he was about to enter a meditative state and begin his long cultivation, a green-robed figure quietly appeared before him.

It was Chen You.

He looked at Wang Yun and spoke with a calm expression.

"This place is called the 'Emperors Fall Platform.' It is the end of the Ancient Starry Road and the final battlefield for the struggle for the emperor seat."

"Before the emperor seat truly descends, there are Restrictions here; no one is allowed to engage in private combat. Otherwise, it will trigger the will of the Ancient Road to erase them."

Wang Yun nodded; this was consistent with the information he had learned from ancient texts.

"Thank you for telling me."

Chen You's gaze lingered on him for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he turned away and returned to his own area.

Wang Yun no longer paid attention to the outside world and slowly closed his eyes.

A thousand-year cultivation and accumulation began... The first time jump: three hundred years passed in a flash.

On this day, Wang Yun, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly jolted.

Behind him, the thousand-zhang Dao Fruit, which had long reached Perfection, began to undergo a startling transformation.

At the top of the Dao Fruit, a small, budding lotus flower slowly condensed.

Boom!

The lotus flower bloomed.

It was a dao lotus, emerald green throughout and flowing with endless life aura. Strands of purple-gold Primordial Qi swirled around it, appearing noble and mysterious.

This was the first dao lotus condensed, spurred by his heart of flora, rooted in his Supreme Body Foundation, and nourished by Primordial Qi.

As the dao lotus was first formed, a powerful saintly pressure erupted with him as the center.

Saint Realm, achieved!

At the moment of his Breakthrough, the other top Prodigies on the platform, such as Chen You and Ye Chen, also opened their eyes one after another, looking toward Wang Yun's direction in surprise, their eyes flashing with astonishment.

They could feel that the quality of Wang Yun's first dao lotus far exceeded that of an ordinary Saint.

However, these three hundred years of peace did not belong only to them.

Decades after Wang Yun's Breakthrough, this ancient continent gradually welcomed new guests.

Several Ancient Freaks, whose auras were more terrifying than any previous Prodigy and who seemed to have stepped out of primordial myths, tore through the Void Realm and descended here.

Some were surrounded by Chaos Qi, like uncivilized gods and demons.

Behind others, tattered phantoms of Saint Kings appeared, emitting a pressure that caused the Laws of this place to tremble.

These newcomers were terrifying existences whose strength, even while in the Heavenly Venerable Realm, was already not inferior to that of the Saint King period.

Their arrival made the atmosphere on this already oppressive platform even more heavy.

Everyone understood that the final difficulty of this struggle for the Emperor's title had been raised infinitely... The second time jump: another two hundred years passed.

During this period, more than twenty more powerful Prodigies arrived, each one a legend of an era.

On this day, a golden stream of light, as blazing as a great sun, descended onto a corner of the platform.

As the light dissipated, a young man wearing golden armor and possessing an incomparably overbearing aura revealed himself.

He was none other than Chen Yang.

Five hundred years had passed, and he was no longer the young man who needed protection.

Around him, the power of the Great Sun Saint Body flowed; he had also successfully broken into the Saint Realm.

As soon as he arrived, he walked straight toward Wang Yun's direction and, under the gaze of everyone, respectfully performed a deep bow to the white-robed figure.

"Chen Yang pays his respects to Big Brother!"

Wang Yun opened his eyes, looked at him, and nodded approvingly.

"Not bad."

Hearing this, Chen Yang was extremely excited.

He did not disturb Wang Yun, but chose to sit cross-legged nearby, silently acting as a Protector for Wang Yun... The third time jump: the longest one, a thousand years.

On this day, Wang Yun, who had been sitting for a thousand years, underwent another significant transformation.

Beside his emerald-green dao lotus, a second dao lotus slowly condensed.

It was a purple-gold lotus formed from the power of the grandmist supreme bone.

It complemented the first emerald-green dao lotus; one governed life and the other governed destruction, faintly forming a supreme dao rhyme of the cycle of birth and death.

Two-Lotus Saint!

However, this was not the end.

At the moment the second dao lotus condensed into shape, within Wang Yun's chest, the bone he had reclaimed from Yu Tianheng—which had been nourished by his Supreme Body for another thousand years—was finally fully nurtured.

This was the true first generation supreme bone.

Through the feedback of the Supreme Body and the nourishment of the vitality of all wood, it had long since undergone Nirvana and Rebirth; its potential far exceeded that of the past.

Buzz!

A brand-new Divine Ability, born purely for offense, had Awakening from that bone.

Light of the Epoch.

Myriad Things Born focuses on support and creation.

The Primordial Chaos Domain focuses on control and suppression.

And this Light of the Epoch was a pure, ultimate, supreme offensive method capable of destroying an entire epoch!

Wang Yun's mind sank into it as he practiced this Divine Ability for the first time in his head.

He only had a single thought.

Buzz—!

A trace of an imperceptible ripple, containing the aura of the birth and death of an epoch, flashed across him and vanished.

Yet, it was just this insignificant leakage of aura.

Boom!

On the entire Emperors Fall Platform, all the top Prodigies in meditation, regardless of their cultivation base or state of mind, were suddenly startled awake at this moment and looked at Wang Yun in horror.

Chen You, Ye Chen, Sword Blind, the Sovereign of Grass and Wood... and those newly arrived Ancient Freaks.

Everyone's expression was one of terror, their hearts filled with wariness.

In that instant just now, they felt a tremor that made their Divine Souls shudder.

It was an illusion, as if their own existence, Dao, and even time and space would be completely erased by an irresistible force, returning to nothingness.

"That... what was that?"

"What happened?"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

Wang Yun slowly opened his eyes and withdrew that aura, his expression calm.

But he knew that from this moment on, he truly possessed the capital to have the last laugh in this struggle for the emperor seat... The long span of fifteen hundred years finally came to an end.

Dong—!

Dong—!

Dong—!

On this day, three ancient and grand tolls of a bell resounded throughout the Ancient Star and spread across the entire Ancient Starry Road.

The sound seemed to come from eternity ago, carrying the vicissitudes of time and the majesty of the Great Dao.

Rumble!

The entire Emperors Fall Platform, along with the endless continent beneath it, began to tremble violently.

In the very center of the platform, within that chaotic Void Realm, a massive pillar of Chaos light tore through the sky and soared upward, as if welcoming the ethereal yet real heavens heart imprint.

An ancient and weathered stone platform, appearing to carry the weight of eternal ages and being incredibly massive, slowly emerged within the pillar of Chaos light.

At the top of the stone platform, a blurry emperor seat condensed from the Laws of the Great Dao loomed, emitting a supreme majesty that reigned over all Daos and governed the Universe.

The emperor seat has descended!

At this very moment.

On the platform, all the Prodigies in seclusion opened their eyes at the same time.

Gaze after gaze shot toward that ancient stone platform.

The fifteen-hundred-year-long peace was completely shattered at this moment.

An ultimate bloody battle that would determine the ownership of this world's heavens heart imprint and decide who would finally ascend to the Emperor's position to look down upon all ages.

Was about to unfold!
