An Immortal Emperor is, after all, an Immortal Emperor. Even Chi Tian, who had only briefly held the title in the past, was far beyond what an ordinary Dao Ancestor could compare to!
What does it matter if it's a desperate situation? Recite poetry and be an Emperor again!
One hundred and eight strands of fundamental Dao traces surged, transforming into an impervious domain that instantly annihilated all bizarre and sinister energies!
Orthodoxy is orthodoxy. Within the myriad realms of the heavens, heretical and demonic paths cannot shake it!
Two six-star clones hidden in the shadows instantly plummeted, suppressed by the terrifying domain force field emanating from Chi Tian!
At this moment, Chen Yi could no longer interfere with Chi Tian's perception and observational state; the essence of the clones was seen through in an instant!
"Hahaha!!!"
"To think that what has been entangled with this Emperor for so long were merely two clones! Good, very good!"
"It seems you are the tribulation destined for Wuji. It's just that Wuji, that waste, is truly too useless. Having ascended for barely ten thousand years, he has already allowed you to grow to such a stage!"
"Never mind. Wuji's tribulation is for Wuji to enjoy. This Emperor will not keep you company!"
"Brat, you should understand what this Emperor means. This Emperor refined Cui Changsheng as the cause, and you nailing this Emperor three times with the halberd is the effect. Now, Cui Changsheng still remains, and this Emperor will no longer dwell on the wound of the three halberd strikes. The karma between you and me is settled!"
Chi Tian, clad in a resplendent golden scale imperial robe, his hair disheveled, pulled out the great halberd still embedded in his chest with a backhand motion and hurled it towards Chen Yi.
In this golden domain condensed from one hundred and eight strands of fundamental Dao traces, Chi Tian's will was the absolute truth, leaving Chen Yi no room for refusal!
The dark great halberd finally hovered before one of the six-star clones, the powerful air current causing Chen Yi's dark blue robes to flap violently.
Using overwhelming force to pressure others, forcing the victim to swallow the bitter fruit.
The overall situation was settled; the loser could not stir up waves!
Yet Chen Yi remained silent, merely watching Chi Tian calmly.
"You think it's settled just because you say so?"
"What kind of thing are you?!"
"A mere stray dog, and you dare to bark wildly before me?!"
"Halberd, come!"
As soon as the words fell.
A spatial rift suddenly appeared behind the six-star clone, and a halberd, purple to the point of being black, slowly emerged!
This was the true Tribulation-Subduing Halberd, a supreme murderous weapon personally forged by Chen Yi's true self, having weathered eighty-one tribulations together!
Why eighty-one tribulations? Didn't Chen Yi undergo eighty-four?
For no other reason than...
The first time, Chen Yi had no experience and no Tribulation-Subduing Halberd; he only started having it from the second time onward. And from the eighty-third tribulation onward, the Tribulation-Subduing Halberd had been collecting dust, as Chen Yi did not bring it when he returned to the past.
Only now was it remembered by its master, thus gaining another chance to appear, especially since what it was about to deal with was a former Immortal Emperor!
Buzz buzz buzz!!!
The halberd's shaft trembled slightly, an indication of its ultimate combat instinct reaching its climax!
Few things could withstand Chen Yi's true self unleashing his full power. It could be said that aside from a complete Chaos Supreme Treasure, only this halberd, which had played through eighty-one Immortal Ascension Tribulations, could!
In an instant, the Tribulation-Subduing Halberd descended, carrying an overwhelmingly domineering aura. It tore apart the golden domain condensed from Chi Tian's one hundred and eight strands of fundamental Dao traces and, once again, pierced through Chi Tian with a single strike!
All of this happened far too quickly. Even though Chi Tian had reacted, he could not evade this halberd strike, even within a domain completely under his control!
This strike was too fast, too fierce, defying logic, leaping beyond rules, and utterly without warning. The moment it was observed, the attack on him was already complete!
In simpler terms, it was a zero-frame startup. How could one dodge that?
Moreover, the opponent hadn't even revealed his true form, merely throwing the halberd from afar, and then rendering him, a dignified Immortal Emperor, powerless to resist...
Was this reasonable?!
Looking at the dark halberd embedded in his body, trembling incessantly, Chi Tian felt as if he might be a little bit dead.
He had never encountered such a bizarre power or that absurdly domineering will, potent enough to freeze fundamental Dao traces!
Was this truly just Wuji's tribulation?
What virtue or ability did that Wuji possess to deserve this?!
This was likely another great calamity destined to scourge the myriad realms of the heavens!
Chi Tian couldn't help but recall his days as an Immortal Emperor. It was a pity that before he could fully realize his grand ambitions, he encountered the Epochal Tribulation: the emergence of the variable tribulation-bearers, the breach of the River of Time, the collapse of the Great Dao's laws, and the dissolution of the myriad realms!
Faced with such a great tribulation, forget him, a newly ascended Immortal Emperor; even peak Immortal Emperors who had ruled the heavens and earth for several epochs could not withstand it!
Therefore, he directly severed his own Dao Fruit and fled, paying an enormous price to barely survive that Epochal Tribulation.
And facts proved he made the right choice. The Great Dao leaves a thread of vitality; the world recovers autonomously. Only the dead cannot be revived, destined to eternally sink into that turbulent era.
The most direct example was the Divine Realm's Supreme, who confronted the Epochal Tribulation head-on. Leading the most powerful beings of that peak era in an attempt to save the world, they fought to the end but were still powerless to turn the tide. Instead, the Divine Realm lost too much of its strength, ultimately collapsing and disintegrating into what is now the Realm of Calamity...
Thus, Chi Tian, having once faced the Epochal Tribulation directly, was most sensitive to its aura!
And today, upon this dark great halberd, he once again sensed the aura of an Epochal Tribulation!
"You clearly had a chance to escape earlier. Why did you insist on forcibly settling the karma?"
At this moment, Chen Yi's will descended upon the six-star clone as he slowly walked forward, calmly looking at Chi Tian, who was trembling beneath the Tribulation-Subduing Halberd.
"Heh..." Chi Tian laughed with a touch of melancholy, his gaze becoming clear and accepting. "If this Emperor could have escaped, then I wouldn't be nailed here. And since I am already nailed here, it means there was no way to escape, no matter what."
Chen Yi expressed some surprise: "You didn't even try to run. How do you know you couldn't escape?"
Chi Tian was filled with equanimity: "With karma unsettled, even if one could escape for a time, could one escape for a lifetime? Sooner or later, a reckoning would come. What difference does a little earlier or later make? Time holds no value for this Emperor. A hurdle that cannot be crossed will always remain uncrossed."
Hearing this, Chen Yi suddenly smiled: "That sounds quite reasonable. But if you can't escape, then you can't escape. Why not just admit it?"
"If you're weak, practice more. If you can't handle losing, then don't play!"
"You old thing, save these lies for deceiving others. Don't deceive yourself with them!"
Chi Tian: "..."
After a long pause, he finally said with a twitching mouth: "A despicable provocation. And don't try to invade my consciousness sea with your disgusting power anymore; it's useless. This Emperor's consciousness sea is impregnable, without any flaw!"
"If you want to do something, just come at me directly. This Emperor wants to see exactly how capable you are!"
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week?
