The Emperor Lord's Origin, a treasure of immense importance to anyone.
For peak Half-Emperor realm powerhouses, fusing with even a fraction of the Emperor Lord's Origin would significantly increase their chances of breaking through to the Emperor Lord realm.
Currently, on the Profound Heaven Continent, peak Half-Emperor realm experts are considered the strongest.
This situation arose for two main reasons: firstly, any individual who becomes an Emperor Lord instantly disappears from existence; secondly, Emperor Lord's Origin is exceedingly scarce, insufficient to support the cultivation of many powerhouses.
These two factors contributed to the absence of Emperor Lords on the Profound Heaven Continent.
Therefore, Xu Chuan was determined to obtain this lump of Emperor Lord's Origin, and anyone daring to snatch it would become his enemy.
...
After half a month, Xu Chuan finally arrived at the location of the Heavenly Abyss.
This Heavenly Abyss was once an ancient battlefield on the Profound Heaven Continent.
Within the abyss, it was bottomless and perpetually shrouded in miasma, seldom visited by humans.
It had existed for an unknown number of years, referred to by the people of the Eastern Region as the Heavenly Abyss Forbidden Zone.
This was because of the great terror that resided there!
Legend had it that this bottomless Heavenly Abyss was carved out by the sword of an Emperor Lord realm powerhouse in the past.
The mere thought of such power sent shivers down Xu Chuan's spine!
This further solidified his resolve to become an Emperor Lord realm powerhouse!
Upon reaching this place, Xu Chuan directly entered the Heavenly Abyss.
As soon as he entered, Xu Chuan encountered a terrifying void rift, from which an endless void storm blew out, immensely potent.
Even a Heaven-Piercing realm martial artist would suffer grievous injuries if touched by even a wisp of this storm.
This underscored the terror of this place.
Any other Nirvana realm martial artist would likely have been swallowed by this void storm the moment they entered the Heavenly Abyss.
However, Xu Chuan was undeterred.
This was not only because he cultivated the Great Sun Demonic God Body Refinement Scripture, his Solar Sacred Body had been strengthened to a terrifying degree, rendering the void storm incapable of harming him in the slightest.
More importantly, with the presence of the Golden Ancient Palace, he could retreat unscathed even if he encountered a more formidable void collapse.
This was the source of Xu Chuan's confidence.
Descending rapidly along the Heavenly Abyss, after half a day, Xu Chuan reached the very bottom of the abyss.
Here, endless lightning flashed, and vast expanses of void were collapsing.
In this place, even a Heavenly King realm expert would face a deathly crisis.
A single misstep could result in being banished into the void chaos and directly consumed.
With no other option, Xu Chuan summoned the Golden Ancient Palace.
He made this fourth-tier Emperor Arm float above his head, safeguarding him.
Indeed, it lived up to its reputation as a fourth-tier Emperor Arm.
The boundless lightning and the constantly appearing void collapses, upon approaching Xu Chuan, were instantly annihilated into nothingness by the Golden Ancient Palace.
Xu Chuan walked through the bottom of the Heavenly Abyss as if impervious to all attacks, perfectly safe.
He did not walk for long.
Xu Chuan discovered a very stable void vortex, from which potent elemental energy emanated, making it seem out of place in this location.
"The Emperor Lord's Origin must be within this," Xu Chuan mused, uncertain.
However, relying on the protection of the Golden Ancient Palace, he resolutely stepped into the vortex.
In an instant, Xu Chuan found himself in a secret realm.
He saw a sea of lightning, within which countless bolts of lightning surged. In the center of the lightning sea, a skeleton floated.
And within the skull of the skeleton, there was a ball of origin radiating white light.
"If nothing unexpected, that should be the Emperor Lord's Origin."
Upon entering this place and no longer encountering void storms or collapses, Xu Chuan retracted the Golden Ancient Palace into his body. At his current cultivation level, he could not sustain the prolonged use of this fourth-tier Emperor Arm due to its immense consumption!
However, for the sake of caution, Xu Chuan summoned Xuan Lie, who had been sleeping in the ancient palace's world.
"You finally remembered me! I was about to suffocate!" Xuan Lie shouted loudly upon emerging.
Xu Chuan could only sigh with a hint of helplessness.
During this period, he had either been in secluded cultivation at the sacred land or participating in the Dao Discussion Assembly, with Heavenly King realm experts always present.
The moment he brought Xuan Lie out, he would undoubtedly be discovered.
At that point, his possession of the Golden Ancient Palace would be exposed.
It would likely attract a horde of covetous powerhouses.
Only at the bottom of the Heavenly Abyss did he have the opportunity to release Xuan Lie.
"Stop your chatter and quickly check if there's any danger around?"
"What danger could there be? It's just a sea of lightning..."
Xuan Lie's voice abruptly ceased.
Immediately after, Xu Chuan saw Xuan Lie's eyes widen, staring intently at the skeleton ahead and the ball of origin radiating white light.
"This... this is the Emperor Lord's Origin?" Xuan Lie stammered, his tortoise eyes filled with shock.
This was something that even he, in his peak state, had only heard of, never obtained.
He never expected to be this close to it today.
"Yes!" Xu Chuan confirmed.
"This, this..." Xuan Lie was still utterly astonished.
Suddenly.
Xu Chuan's gaze sharpened.
He saw that within the sea of lightning, besides the Emperor Lord's skeleton, there was another human figure suspended.
At this moment, the figure opposite him also detected Xu Chuan's presence.
"I didn't expect a mere ant of Nirvana Realm second-level to reach this place, oh, and a Heavenly King Realm ninth-level turtle."
The figure turned its head and cast a cold glance at Xu Chuan.
That single glance made Xu Chuan feel as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
Xuan Lie on his shoulder immediately retracted into his shell, as if having seen something terrifying.
However, Xu Chuan soon realized that this person was bound by chains formed from the sea of lightning, unable to move even half a step.
This caused Xu Chuan to breathe a sigh of relief.
Subsequently, he used his system to check the information of this person.
[Name: Jin Xiu]
[Realm: First-tier Emperor Lord (Near Death)]
[Talent: ???]
[Destiny: ???]
[Divine Ability: ???]
[Life Script: Protagonist's Fortune Baby from "The Myriad Dao Divine Tome"]
[Life Trajectory: Became an Emperor Lord realm powerhouse tens of thousands of years ago, then fought with another Emperor Lord realm expert, ultimately killing him. However, he was also severely wounded. Before dying, that Emperor Lord transformed into the endless sea of lightning to seal him here. Tens of thousands of years passed, and he was on the verge of death. Later, Xiao Chen inadvertently entered this place and attempted to possess his body for rebirth, but was backlashed by the sea of lightning. Finally, when Chu Fan entered this place, he attempted to possess again but was directly suppressed and killed by Chu Fan's golden finger, with all his memories devoured.]
...
The gap was too vast, preventing Xu Chuan from accessing much of the information.
However, he managed to glean some basic details.
The person before him was actually a first-tier Emperor Lord, which startled Xu Chuan.
After all, in the outside world, the entire Profound Heaven Continent did not have a single Emperor Lord realm expert.
Yet, here was a living Emperor Lord, albeit in a near-death state.
Furthermore, according to the information obtained from the system, this person was not exactly righteous.
He had attempted to possess two bodies to survive.
Although both attempts failed, it still made Xu Chuan extremely vigilant.
"Junior, come over, I will bestow upon you a great fortune!"
At this moment, Jin Xiu, within the sea of lightning, spoke, attempting to lure Xu Chuan into the sea of lightning.
