Chapter 1677: Primordial Thunder Silence Sacred Lord!

Chapter 1677: The Primordial Thunder Calm Sage Emperor!

The myriad Supreme Deities and Unparalleled Will Masters present witnessed Zhou Shiyi effortlessly subduing a mid-tier Will Transcendent-level powerhouse in just a few words—so swiftly, so completely—and more astonishingly, the very one who had been subdued displayed such unwavering loyalty to Zhou Shiyi. They were all left utterly stunned.

Then, their hearts ignited with fervor.

This is our Emperor!

One who can accomplish what no one else could ever dream of.

And at that very moment, Zhou Shiyi’s own excitement matched theirs.

It wasn’t merely because he had just secured his first subordinate Will Transcendent-level master. More profoundly, he had quietly tested the King’s power and discovered something astonishing: this Will Transcendent-level master could also be incorporated into the King’s domain—and just like that, his strength would be amplified by a staggering 5000-fold!

That meant—

With just this single Tianxiang Sage Emperor at his command, Zhou Shiyi now possessed the power equivalent to 5000 mid-tier Will Transcendent-level masters!

The realization sent a shiver through him. He froze, breath caught in his throat.

5000 masters of mid-tier transcendence realm strength!

What a terrifying power!

Could it possibly rival the might of upper-tier transcendence realm beings?!!

He then pondered another question.

With the current state of the "King," could Zhou Zhan directly challenge the Spring-Autumn Law Master?

The Spring-Autumn Law Master is currently at the mid-tier supreme will realm—his actual combat strength likely ranges from lower-tier transcendence to mid-tier transcendence level!

As long as the opponent lacks upper-tier transcendence strength, he would be absolutely no match for him!

He thought it over, then shook his head.

Well.

Why bother worrying about it?

Let the matter of the Spring-Autumn Law Master be handled by Zhou Zhan himself.

I shall simply stay and carry out my duties in the place where Tian Jun's corpse lies.

He looked at the Tian Xiang Supreme Master before him and asked:

"Why have you, a being of transcendent mid-level will, come to this tiny realm of Tian Jun's corpse?"

"Report to the Emperor."

The Tian Xiang Supreme Master bowed respectfully, "I have received word that Tian Jun, in his lifetime, once acquired a martial arts doctrine of eternal immortality, known as the 'Break Heaven Fist Sect.'"

"I have come precisely for this immortal, unshakable martial arts doctrine."

"An immortal, unshakable martial arts doctrine?"

Zhou Zhou was startled by this news.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The Heavenly Fragrance Master bowed respectfully.

"Then it makes sense..."

"I always thought that even wills transcending the realm of strength would be drawn here."

"It must indeed be the inheritance of a cultivator from the realm of eternal immortality."

"But I never expected it to be the martial cultivation technique of the eternal immortality realm."

Zhou Shiyi was somewhat surprised.

Martial cultivation!

In the ultimate void cosmos, martial cultivation was not a mainstream path.

For its cultivation process was too arduous, with too many deficiencies to overcome, and too monotonous in methods. Even the very mindset of martial cultivators would be constrained by this path, gradually becoming reckless, adhering to the dogma of strength above all!

Of course.

Though it has so many flaws, martial cultivation is the purest path of offensive practice.

Once mastered, it transforms the practitioner into a world-class martial master, wielding an attack force so overwhelming it surpasses all other cultivation paths.

Most cultivators at the same level would avoid confronting these crude brutes, for their destructive power is immense—any move results in either death or grievous injury.

And yet, among cultivators, when venturing out into the world, the very essence of combat prowess is what matters most. Thus, martial techniques hold immense appeal across all levels of cultivation.

The higher the level, the greater the allure.

A martial cultivation technique at the eternal, unbroken realm level—even surpasses some complete inheritances from eternal, unbroken realm masters!

For upon attaining such a technique, one essentially becomes invincible.

In contrast, most techniques from other cultivation paths, or immortality arts, do not necessarily achieve the status of invincibility at the same level.

Now Zhou Shi-11 finally understands why the treasures within this Tian Jun corpse site are so significant.

This is an inheritance comparable to a complete lineage from an eternal, unbroken realm master!

Who could not be stirred by this?

"Did you know there are several wills beyond the transcendence level present within this Tianjun Corpse Body realm?"

Zhou Shiyi asked.

"Besides me, there are currently five wills beyond the transcendence level at the core of the Tianjun Corpse Body realm, and I've heard that at least three more wills beyond the transcendence level are already en route from other vast universes, heading toward our Tianjun Corpse Body realm."

The Tianxiang Holy Master replied.

"Are there any upper-tier wills beyond the transcendence level?"

Zhou Shiyi asked again.

"There are two."

Zhou Shiyi and the others silently exhaled, their minds reeling.

Damn!

A lineage of eternal, unshakable martial cultivation—how could it draw so many transcendental beings of willful supremacy?!

Even Zhou Shi-11 and Zhou Shi-12, who had just acquired a subordinate of mid-level will transcendence, felt a significant weight upon hearing this.

Yet…

Only pressure—not a sense of imminent death.

After all, having wielded the Crown, they could not directly defeat a superior will-transcendent being in open combat, but they were absolutely capable of defending themselves.

Thus, both of them resolved to venture forth and challenge this martial lineage!

"Let's go!"

Without hesitation, they led their subordinates deeper into the core region.

"Do you know among the will-transcendent beings, any who are also of mid-level will transcendence?"

Zhou Shi-11 asked the Tian Xiang Sacred Master.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Among the five other beings of transcendent will, one is a lower-tier transcendent, two are mid-tier transcendent, and the final two are upper-tier transcendent."

"This Broken Sky Fist Sect's martial lineage is said to be a legendary, eternal and unshakable inheritance—ordinary lower-tier transcendent beings dare not even attempt to claim it."

"Those who dare come are mostly mid-tier or upper-tier transcendent beings."

The Heavenly Fragrance Sovereign spoke.

"Lead me to the two mid-tier transcendent beings."

Emperor Zhou Shiyi's eyes shimmered with a brilliant gleam. "I shall capture them!"

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Fragrance Sovereign knew the Emperor would surely employ the very method he had just used to seize another—this time to capture the two mid-tier transcendent beings.

Yet, instead of resistance, he felt a deep, quiet anticipation within his heart.

"Very well, Your Majesty!"

"Those two I'm fully aware of their positions—I'll show you the way!"

Zhou Shiyi nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.

The Enchanting Holy Eye truly lives up to its status as a mid-tier transcendence holy artifact—the control effect feels exactly like the transcendence-level version of a Holy King or Lord's innate talent.

Moreover, upon seeing the Heavenly Fragrance Holy Master before him, Zhou Shiyi realized something.

As His power steadily grew, more and more wills transcending the realm would inevitably emerge under His true form.

The "No Superior—Unique Lord" innate talent seems rather outdated now.

After all, this Lord's talent is limited by rank, only effective for beings at the level of Supreme Will and below.

"Later, I must ask the True Form to request the Supreme Will to upgrade this Lord's talent to a Transcendence-Level Unique Lord talent."

"Otherwise, I won't be able to subdue future beings who have transcended the will realm."

"Ah, upgrading too quickly isn't always a good thing."

"The facilities everywhere seem a bit behind the times."

Zhou Shiyi silently muttered.

At that moment,

Zhou Shiji asked, "So what is the background of the only lower-tier will-transcendent realm powerhouse who dared to come here?"

"The one is a powerhouse whose actual combat strength rivals that of an upper-tier will-transcendent realm, despite being only at the lower tier," said Tian Xiang Holy Master. "It's said that he once studied under a top-tier will-transcendent realm master, who later ascended to become an eternal, unbreakable realm powerhouse and departed from the ultimate void universe."

Zhou Shiyi and Zhou Shiji exchanged a glance.

Goodness.

The same origin as the Supreme Will—both disciples of renowned masters.

How could mere lower-tier will-transcendent masters dare to challenge a group of mid-tier and upper-tier will-transcendent masters for the inheritance of the eternal and unshakable realm?

At the side, the Heavenly Fragrance Sovereign sighed, helpless at the stunned expressions of Zhou Shiyi and Zhou Shizheng.

Seriously? A mere lower-tier will-transcendent being attempting to seize the inheritance—would the sovereigns be so shocked?

Have any of you considered that you are, in fact, a lower-tier Supreme Will being challenging these will-transcendent masters for the inheritance of the eternal and unshakable realm?

It's like a prideful lion hunting a prey.

Suddenly, a young leopard bursts in, declaring not only that it will take the prey you're after, but that it will also beat you senseless.

Wake up, sovereigns!

How absurd are you, really!

A moment later,

Under the guidance of the Heavenly Fragrance Sovereign, Zhou Shiyi and Zhou Shizheng found the first mid-tier will-transcendent master.

This mid-tier will-transcendent master sits in meditation within an ancient cavern sanctuary, using his own willpower to penetrate the core region of the Tianjun corpse realm, seeking to locate the inheritance of the "Break Heaven Fist."

This is precisely what most will-transcendent masters do upon arriving here—the first thing they attempt.

After all, with the sheer strength and depth of their willpower, they could sweep across the entire Tianjun corpse realm, effortlessly uncovering what they seek.

Yet.

The Break Heaven Fist lineage is an eternal, unshakable cultivation tradition.

All the will-transcendent masters who have come here, having employed this method, have failed to find it. In the end, they are forced to adopt the method used by celestial masters such as Tianxiang or other supreme will beings—walking through the Tianjun corpse realm step by step, meticulously searching, hoping against hope to uncover the traces of the Break Heaven Fist lineage.

Though none have yet discovered the true location of the tradition, they have still found countless treasures of supreme will and will-transcendent beings.

Many powerful figures have sighed in admiration—despite not finding the Break Heaven Fist, merely through these gains, the journey was not in vain.

"Your Majesty, it is He."

"He is known as TaiChu Jin, and among the other will-transcendent masters of the Ultimate Void Cosmos, He is called the TaiChu Lightning Silence Sovereign."

"In all other aspects, this fellow is merely average, yet his prowess in a frontal assault is surely enough to rank him among the top thirty of the many Mid-tier Will Detachment realm experts!"

Zhou Eleven and Zhou Twelve nodded in agreement, then directed their gazes forward.

This alien powerhouse was clad in the Sovereign Armor of Destiny, grasping the Halberd of a Thousand Tribulations' Dragon Spine.

Around his left arm coiled a shattered cosmic chain, while his right hand gripped the flowing, sacred radiance of incense offerings.

His very spine had been transformed into the long-hafted weapon case that bore the Halberd of a Thousand Tribulations' Dragon Spine.

An overwhelming aura of fierce malice blanketed the heavens, warping the sky above him into a sea of crimson clouds, within which a blood-colored thunder dragon roared, vanishing and reappearing by turns.

That was no manifestation of law, nor was it a manifestation of divine power; it was the manifestation of this Will Detachment expert's very will!

Zhou Eleven let out a click of admiration after beholding the sight.

A fellow capable of manifesting such a will is indeed a formidable warrior!

He is well worthy of being subdued by my Sacred Eyes of Enchantment.

At this moment.

Tai Chou Jin slowly opened his eyes, his gaze settling upon Tian Xiang Holy Master.

As for Zhou Shiyi and the others standing beside Tian Xiang Holy Master, they were entirely ignored.

A mere handful of Supreme Will Beings and Supreme Deities—He regarded them with complete indifference.

If He so chose, a single glance would be enough to extinguish countless Supreme Will Beings and Supreme Deities.

"Tian Xiang Holy Master,"

"What brings you here?"

He spoke calmly.

"Tian Xiang Holy Master,"

The Holy Master boomed, "I have been sent by my master to personally invite you to join our Jiao Yang Divine Realm."

"The Glorious Sun Sovereign State?"

Tai Chi Lei Ji, the Supreme Saint, paused and mused, "Could it be that newly arisen sovereign, the one who claims to hold the greatest potential—the People's Sovereign Saint?"

Zhou Shi-Yi and Zhou Shi-Er were startled.

They had never before heard the title "Sovereign" spoken by any outsider.

It seemed that though their true form had only recently ascended to Sovereign status, their name had already spread throughout the entire Ultimate Void Cosmos.

"Yes,"

Tian Xiang, the Supreme Saint, smiled faintly. "That is indeed our master."

He inwardly sighed with helplessness.

If only he had not launched an immediate assault on Zhou Shi-Yi and Zhou Shi-Er at the outset, neither of them might have fallen under the Emperor's control and discovered the Emperor's true identity.

Had the Emperor revealed his true nature to me earlier, I might have simply switched allegiance right then and there.

That was the Holy Sovereign!

A being whose future might very well make him the supreme leader of the Ultimate Void Cosmos!

Even if, on the surface, his power level appeared inferior to his own, he might genuinely be willing to serve under such a figure.

Upon hearing that the master of the Heavenly Fragrance Sovereign was none other than the very one famed for possessing the greatest potential—the People's Holy Sovereign—the eyes of the Primordial Thunder Still Sovereign flashed with a startling bolt of lightning.

Crack!

In an instant, he stood before the Heavenly Fragrance Sovereign, directly asking:

"Where is the Sovereign of the People?"

"We are the Sovereign of the People."

Zhou Shi-1 and Zhou Shi-2 stepped forward and said so. Then, after a moment's thought, Zhou Shi-1 added: "More precisely, we are a fragment of the Sovereign of the People."

"Yet our consciousness remains connected to the original, and our strength is nearly equal."

"You consider us to be the Avatar of the People's Holy Sovereign—there's nothing wrong with that."

The Supreme Master of the Primordial Thunder Calm stared at Zhou Shi and Zhou Er with eyes like thunder.

That thunderous will, radiating like celestial power, caused Zhou Shi and Zhou Er to furrow their brows slightly.

"Are you two manifestations of the People's Holy Sovereign? Comparable in strength to the Sovereign himself?"

asked the Supreme Master of the Primordial Thunder Calm.

"It could be said to be identical."

Zhou Shi replied.

The Supreme Master of the Primordial Thunder Calm slightly frowned.

Indeed, exactly as the legend described—the People's Holy Sovereign's apparent strength was no more than that of a newly ascended Supreme Will Master.

He paused, thinking, then said:

"Your Sacred Majesty wishes to subdue me, Lei Ji."

"But I have two conditions."

"As long as Your Majesty fulfills these two conditions, I, Lei Ji, will immediately bow and serve you without hesitation!"

"Hmm?"

Zhou Shiyi smiled lightly and said, "What conditions? Please state them."

"The first: Your Majesty must personally withstand my full force attack!"

"As long as Your Majesty survives the first strike, this first condition is fulfilled."

"The second: I have been trapped in the Middle State of Willful Transcendence for many years. After Your Majesty subdues me, I beg you to assist me in breaking through this bottleneck and ascending to the Upper State of Willful Transcendence."

"These are the only two conditions I have—do Your Majesty accept them?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shiyi glanced at the other for a moment, then said:

"Can you guarantee, upon joining me, that you will never betray me?"

"Your Majesty, you are the Holy Sovereign. If I join you and then betray you, I would be defying the ultimate will of the Void Cosmos itself."

"Even a supreme will, a being transcendent in power, would not dare do such a thing. Your Majesty, rest assured."

The Supreme Master of Primordial Thunder and Stillness spoke with solemnity.

"Very well, I accept it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shiyi showed no hesitation and immediately agreed.
