"roll!"
The Demon Emperor kicked out, and the Beast Emperor was caught off guard and sent flying.
This kick seemed to be a signal, a signal to vie for the prayer mat. The surrounding Great Dao Emperors all made their moves, their target being the prayer mat in the center.
A chaotic battle erupted in an instant, with the sounds of fierce collisions ringing out continuously.
Due to the suppression, the power of the Great Dao Emperor's attack was far less than it had been in the myriad realms. However, even so, the battle at this moment was still quite spectacular.
Each Great Dao Emperor is a legend who creates a Dao, with their own characteristics and unique special moves. These special moves are displayed here, appearing mysterious and magical.
"As expected, everyone's strength has improved significantly."
Yi Shuihan was one of the few who did not participate in the battle. There were only three people who did not participate, including Yi Shuihan. The other two were Ji Kong Di Zun and Ming Sheng Di Zun. Ji Kong Di Zun was being pulled along by Yi Shuihan and was having a hard time controlling himself. Ming Sheng Di Zun was in self-control, but Yi Shuihan could see that Ming Sheng Di Zun was not entirely unaffected. His aura was constantly fluctuating.
Yi Shuihan's original plan was to sit back and watch the tigers fight, and then enter the fray to clean up the mess when the time was right. This would greatly reduce the danger and avoid the risk of being besieged by the Great Dao Emperors at their peak.
After watching for a while, Yi Shuihan was surprised to find that watching their battle actually helped him comprehend the power of transcendence.
These Great Dao Emperors naturally do not possess the power of transcendence, but they are silently influenced by it, carrying some attribute of transcendence, even if this attribute is only one percent or one ten-thousandth of the complete transcendence power.
Because fewer Great Dao Emperors awaken with the power of transcendence, the difficulty for Yi Shuihan to comprehend it is greatly reduced. For Yi Shuihan to comprehend a complete power of transcendence is like solving a math problem that he cannot understand at all, while only one percent of the power of transcendence is like being given the formula to solve the problem. As long as all the formulas are combined, the problem will naturally be solved.
Originally, Yi Shuihan was just a little short of mastering the art. Now, the power of transcendence was presented to him in a weakened form, greatly stimulating Yi Shuihan's inspiration. At this moment, Yi Shuihan forgot his original thoughts and wholeheartedly devoted himself to comprehending the power of transcendence.
"Huh, so that's how it is. I thought this was the ultimate, but it turns out that adding just one element can evolve everything, from nothing to something, and then..."
"The Dao is interconnected. The Dao that is created actually exists in itself. So-called creation is just discovery. The power of transcendence possesses a stronger power. It contains all the Dao. As long as it exists, it possesses everything: time, space, destiny, devouring, Yin and Yang."
"...I understand. The power of transcendence is the sum of all paths, but the sum of all paths is not the power of transcendence."
The final piece of the puzzle of transcendence was completed by Yi Shuihan. When Yi Shuihan fully comprehended and understood the power of transcendence, the world in his eyes underwent a transformation.
The battle continued, and eight Great Dao Emperors were already lying on the ground. Of these eight, five were completely dead, while the remaining four were seriously injured and completely incapacitated.
There are six Great Dao Emperors who continue to fight, including the Thunder Emperor and the Vera Emperor.
Even Yi Shuihan was surprised. Originally, the Thunder Emperor and Vera Emperor had been studying the characters and showed no signs of waking up. He didn't expect them to join the battle so soon.
Because of the inspiration that came from watching the battle, Yi Shuihan was in a special state of enlightenment. His attention was completely focused on the power of transcendence, so he only noticed the existence of the Thunder Emperor and Vera Emperor now.
Perhaps because they arrived at the sinkhole before the other Great Dao Emperors, even though they were constantly studying the characters instead of the prayer mats, their strength did not increase as much as, and even more than, that of the other Great Dao Emperors. This is also why they are now two of the remaining six Great Dao Emperors.
The four Great Dao Emperors who fought against Mad Thunder Emperor were Devouring Emperor, Judgment Emperor, Gate Array Emperor, and Extreme Void Emperor.
That's right, the second surprise was that the Supreme Emperor of the Void also joined the battlefield when Yi Shuihan entered a state of enlightenment.
Originally, there were 18 Great Dao Emperors who entered the sinkhole, but two of them died in the Great Dao Emperor Tomb area, so there are a total of 16 Great Dao Emperors at the bottom of the sinkhole. Now, except for Yi Shuihan and the Destiny Emperor, they have all gone completely mad.
Speaking of the Emperor of Destiny, it wasn't that he resisted the temptation of transcendence. The reason he was able to become one of only two beings outside the battlefield, like Yi Shuihan, is simple: he knocked himself unconscious and is now lying quietly in the distance.
Knocking yourself out is not a good choice. While it may avoid getting caught in the crossfire, it also means losing the ability to fight back and is very likely to be accidentally injured while unconscious. It completely hands over the choice to other Great Dao Emperors and to luck. If Yi Shuihan were in the same position, he would never do it.
Of course, perhaps the Emperor of Destiny is very confident? He controls destiny and is confident that he can escape this calamity by doing this, which is also a manifestation of destiny. Therefore, it is not that he did not join the battle, but that he fought in his own way.
Chapter 1542, Understanding, the Method of Transcendence
"It's time to show off some skills."
Even without having comprehended the power of transcendence before, Yi Shuihan was able to stop the remaining six Great Dao Emperors. Now that he has comprehended the power of transcendence, he is even more capable of doing so.
The battle was not yet at its most intense. The remaining six Great Dao Emperors still maintained most of their fighting strength. It would be easier to intervene if they waited a little longer. However, Yi Shuihan did not want to wait any longer. Who knew what would happen next? Three of the six were important to him, and he would not stand by and watch any of them suffer any mishap.
With a few steps, Yi Shuihan slowly walked towards the battlefield and soon entered the combat area. Surprisingly, the other Great Dao Emperors instantly abandoned their current opponents and attacked him at the same time when he appeared, as if it were all rehearsed, if one did not consider the real wounds on their bodies.
The six top-tier Great Dao Emperors were all at a level very close to Yi Shuihan's strength before he comprehended the power of transcendence. If it had happened a little earlier, Yi Shuihan would have had some trouble dealing with them and might have been caught off guard. However, now...
Yi Shuihan remained calm, his steps unwavering, as if he hadn't seen the attack coming at him at all.
As the Great Dao Emperor who created the Dao of Space, the Supreme Void Emperor was the fastest and his attack was the first to reach Yi Shuihan.
That attack, which contains the power of space mixed with the power of transcendence and awakens for a period of time, is enough to tear apart space and time, causing those hit to experience spatial and temporal distortions.
Just as the attack was about to hit Yi Shuihan, it suddenly changed direction, colliding with and canceling out the two attacks behind it.
At this moment, Yi Shuihan happened to step to the left, and he dodged the last three attacks. Thus, the first round of attacks by the six top Dao Emperors was easily broken.
The second wave of attack was not launched. After dodging the first wave of attack, Yi Shuihan's figure instantly became ethereal and appeared behind the six Great Dao Emperors at an incredibly fast speed, then delivered a hand chop.
When the six thuds of people falling to the ground rang out, Yi Shuihan was still in the same spot as before, as if he hadn't made a move.
From the moment Yi Shuihan entered the battlefield and was attacked until the battle ended, the time between them was only 2 seconds. The process was extremely simple, even easier than a father beating his son. It can only be said that this is a battle on a completely different level.
In reality, Yi Shuihan had only just come to understand the existence of the power of transcendence and had not yet mastered it. However, even so, his strength increased countless times in an instant.
If Yi Shuihan was still a Great Dao Emperor before, and the Extreme Void Emperor and others, who were also Great Dao Emperors, could pose a threat to him, now he felt that no matter how many Great Dao Emperors like the Extreme Void Emperor came, he could kill them all without expending any effort.
Of course, Yi Shuihan did not kill Ji Kong Di Zun and the others; he only knocked them unconscious. To be honest, their condition was not much different from being unconscious. Even if they lost consciousness, they could continue fighting, relying on their instincts and the influence of transcendent power.
It was Yi Shuihan's skill to knock them unconscious. He had comprehended the power of transcendence. Although he could not completely control it, he could already borrow a portion of the power of transcendence. This was much stronger than that of the Extreme Void Emperor, who could only exert incomplete power of transcendence. He easily cut off the influence of the power of transcendence on them.
As they were pondering what to do next, they suddenly heard a faint sound and discovered that the few Great Dao Emperors who had lost their ability to move and barely managed to survive were slowly crawling towards Yi Shuihan's location.
"Is it going to crawl over and hit me?"
Upon considering this possibility, Yi Shuihan's lips twitched.
Three seconds later, the bottom of the sinkhole fell completely silent. Except for Yi Shuihan, whose eyes were still open, everyone else's eyes were closed. Some were closed forever, while others might open them again.
Yi Shuihan took the futon and returned to his temporary hut, where he sat cross-legged.
"Comprehending the power of transcendence does not equate to a breakthrough. To break through, one must withstand the baptism of the power of transcendence. Only by withstanding the power of transcendence and transcending on the basis of one's original power can one achieve true transcendence and have the opportunity to step into a new level."
These thoughts naturally arose in Yi Shuihan's mind, and Yi Shuihan was very certain of their authenticity, so he began to think about how to withstand the baptism of the transcendent power.
"The Ceremony of Transcendence" is the name given to it by Yi Shuihan. It is the last door that stands in front of Zhi. This door is so huge and so solid. The more you understand it, the more you realize how difficult it is to break through.
Now Yi Shuihan finally understands why there are only five people who are high above others: it is because breaking through to the Great Dao Emperor level is too difficult.
First, one must comprehend the power of transcendence, and then endure the ritual of transcendence. Leaving aside the latter, just comprehending the power of transcendence alone has stumped countless Great Dao Emperors. Just look at the appearance of Emperor Jikong and the others; they have been completely led astray.
Yi Shuihan is so strong that he can be called the strongest Great Dao Emperor in history. However, if he were not a system, he probably wouldn't even know that there is such a thing as the power of transcendence, let alone be able to shield himself from the temptation of the power of transcendence.
The power of transcendence does not want to be controlled. This does not mean that the power of transcendence has emotions. It can actually be seen as a higher level and form of the Heavenly Dao, far exceeding the level of the known Heavenly Dao in all the heavens and myriad worlds. If we consider all the heavens and myriad worlds as one world, then the power of transcendence can be its Heavenly Dao, except that this Heavenly Dao governs all the Great Daos.
The Heavenly Way is below the Great Way; this is common knowledge in all the heavens and myriad realms. However, the power of transcendence is even more transcendent, and can be considered the Heavenly Way that surpasses the Great Way.
Compared to the Heavenly Dao, the power of transcendence is even more difficult to access. In fact, it rejects any entity that tries to contact it. The Supreme Emperor and the others tried to contact it through the futon, but the result is already clear.
The power of transcendence is constantly changing and becoming stronger. As long as the Dao of all the heavens and myriad realms continues to increase, it will become stronger and stronger. Even the Dao that disappeared in all the heavens and myriad realms due to the death of the Great Dao Emperor still exists in the power of transcendence.
As long as the myriad realms do not perish, there will definitely be more Great Dao Emperors in the future. However, it is not certain that there will be more Great Dao Emperors. The longer the time goes by, the stronger the power of transcendence will become. At that time, the difficulty of breaking through to the Great Dao Emperor will become greater and greater. After a while, when more Great Dao Emperors appear, even if Yi Shuihan has a system, he probably will not be able to access the power of transcendence and will be affected like the Extreme Void Emperor and others.
The reason why the person in the company allowed Yi Shuihan to come in this time was probably because they considered that the longer it was delayed, the more difficult it would be to break through.
Chapter 1543, The Baptism Begins
At the bottom of the sinkhole, all was silent, not even the sound of breathing could be heard. After all, they were all Great Dao Emperors, long past the stage where they needed to breathe.
There were a large number of Great Dao Emperors lying on the ground, but none of them were standing. There was one sitting, and that was Yi Shuihan.
Having comprehended the power of transcendence, Yi Shuihan is constantly accumulating strength in preparation for the "Ceremony of Transcendence." Once this accumulation is complete, it will be the day Yi Shuihan makes his breakthrough towards the ultimate realm.
To pass the "Ceremony of Transcendence," one must withstand the combined impact of thousands of Great Daos contained within the power of transcendence, including even Yi Shuihan's own Infinite Great Dao.
Often, the challenge is to face an opponent who is exactly the same as oneself. Such opponents are difficult to deal with. However, the difficulty of the Transcendent Ceremony is far greater. Not only does it have its own power, but it also has the power of thousands of others of the same level.
Originally, Yi Shuihan planned to accumulate power for hundreds of millions of years to see how things went. However, after only ten thousand years, he realized that he didn't have that much time to accumulate power.
The shocking discovery that Yi Shuihan's own accumulation speed couldn't keep up with the growth rate of the transcendent power was the main reason that forced Yi Shuihan to break through as soon as possible.
Yi Shuihan is getting stronger, and his transcendent power is also getting stronger because of the increase in the number of Dao. In fact, Yi Shuihan's own growth has indirectly increased the strength of his transcendent power.
"Even if I cultivate for a long time, I can't close the gap with the power of transcendence on my own. It's even difficult to maintain a balance. The system is the only variable. Only with the existence of the system can I have a slight chance of resisting the baptism of the power of transcendence."
The system guided Yi Shuihan onto the path of cultivation, changing his ordinary life. Along the way, the system's help to Yi Shuihan was countless. It can be said that 99% of Yi Shuihan's achievements today are due to the system, and the remaining 1% is due to his own hard work.
Now, facing the greatest challenge of his life, Yi Shuihan still has to rely on the system to get through it, which makes Yi Shuihan feel very complicated.
In fact, since the system successfully analyzed the existence of the power of transcendence, it has evolved again, becoming even more mysterious and unpredictable. To be honest, even Yi Shuihan did not know how powerful the system was now. It was precisely because of this that Yi Shuihan was confident in passing the transcendence ceremony.
Realizing he couldn't continue wasting time accumulating experience, Yi Shuihan decisively left the bottom of the sinkhole. After all, he didn't need the environment at the bottom of the sinkhole to comprehend the power of transcendence; it was the same wherever he was.
Also brought up by Yi Shuihan were three Great Dao Emperors: the Extreme Void Emperor, the Thunder Emperor, and the Vera Emperor. Yi Shuihan placed them on three scenic floating continents, some of which were quite far apart.
Yi Shuihan did not awaken the Supreme Emperor and the others, nor could he. Before he could withstand the power of transcendence, he could only influence it. He could not completely remove the influence on the Supreme Emperor. So even if he forcibly awakened them, they would still be affected. It was better to let them continue to lie there!
If Yi Shuihan fails to break through and dies, the power he left on Ji Kong Di Zun and the others will also dissipate. If Ji Kong Di Zun is still underground when he wakes up, the situation is predictable. Mutual harm is inevitable, and who lives and who dies will depend on fate. If Yi Shuihan brings them up, even if they wake up, they will have no opponents for the time being, and their chances of survival will be greater.
Leaving aside the fact that the Supreme Emperor and the others were sleeping soundly, after returning to the sinkhole, Yi Shuihan once again explored the entire continent. This time, he explored with great patience, occasionally stopping to reflect on his insights. As a result, he left his footprints on almost every inch of the land. Consequently, it took him much longer than the first time, a full 100 years, to completely explore the entire continent.
"So I've come back here."
Looking at the vaguely familiar surroundings, Yi Shuihan was filled with emotion. Unknowingly, he had arrived at the floating continent where he had crash-landed. The place he was standing now was the landing point he had used.
More than 10,000 years have passed, but the changes here are not significant. That's why Yi Shuihan was able to react so quickly. Compared to the ever-changing world over the past 10,000 years, the environment here is very special, and the passage of time has little impact on it.
Suddenly, Yi Shuihan was blessed with a sudden inspiration and directly entered a breakthrough state.
Once you comprehend the power of transcendence, you will naturally be targeted by it and need to constantly resist its intrusion. However, once you let go, you are tacitly accepting its entry, which means you have initiated the ritual of transcendence.
At this point, as long as one can withstand the impact of the transcendent power and then comprehend the method of returning the power to oneself, and completely control the transcendent power, then one can be considered to have successfully broken through.
Endless green light converged towards Yi Shuihan. Yi Shuihan was very familiar with this green light. He had seen it before when he was teleported from the main hall to the world that caused him to lose his memory, and even when the corpses in the Emperor's Tomb area at the bottom of the sinkhole exploded and recovered.
The green light at this moment was none other than the manifestation of transcendent power, constantly merging into Yi Shuihan's body, trying to burst him apart, or rather, assimilate him.
In an instant, Yi Shuihan felt like he had eaten too much, and under the boundless power of the transcendent power, he was like a small boat in danger of being capsized at any moment.
At this moment, death was so close. Yi Shuihan was completely powerless to resist. His proud strength was utterly useless against the power of transcendence. It was like an ant trying to shake a tree or a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
"Perhaps merging with the power of transcendence and becoming a part of it is the most suitable destiny for me."
When this thought came to mind, a serene smile suddenly appeared on Yi Shuihan's face, the same smile as the corpses of the Great Dao Emperors in the sinkhole.
Yi Shuihan's body gradually became luminous, losing its solidity and appearing incredibly light, as if it were about to transform into particles and disperse into the world.
If Yi Shuihan were to truly dissipate into particles, it would signify his failure to break through, the complete loss of his self-awareness, and the end of his existence in the world.
At the critical moment, a seven-colored light suddenly shone from Yi Shuihan's heart, preventing him from completely transforming into light.
In the face of life and death, the power of the system was finally revealed.
Chapter 1544, The End?
Unknown mysterious space
"Someone is transcending, Huh? Is it that little guy you've been eyeing?"
"It's him, and now is the most critical moment. If we can get through this, he will become someone like us."
"Really? I really want to see another companion! If he succeeds, he will be the strongest among us. Transcending is now a hundred times more difficult than before."
……
"Wake up, wake up..."
The sound grew louder and clearer, awakening Yi Shuihan, who was on the verge of complete assimilation.
"Who am I? What am I doing? Who is calling me? And why is someone calling me?"
The system's power did not fully awaken Yi Shuihan. He had been assimilated too much and had even forgotten everything, remaining as pure as a newborn baby.
The system's calls continued, but Yi Shuihan gradually grew impatient. The voice irritated him, and the feeling of forgetting something important but being unable to recall it drove him almost mad.
As Yi Shuihan tried his best to recall, the power of transcendence became enraged, and an even stronger force emerged. Centered on Yi Shuihan, the entire floating continent beneath his feet suddenly turned into particles, becoming green particles, which then frantically poured into Yi Shuihan.
The power, which was almost dozens of times stronger than before, immediately allowed Yi Shuihan, who had been slowly recovering with the help of the system, to resume his progress toward light transformation.
The system shone brightly with seven colors, repelling the invasion of the transcendent power for a fleeting moment. However, it was only for a moment before it was suppressed again. Although the suppression was slow, it was eventually repelled, and the range of the seven-colored light gradually shrank.
The voice calling for Yi Shuihan gradually faded, from a loud shout in his ear to normal speech, then to a whisper, and finally, even if he concentrated, he could only hear a faint, indistinct sound.
Yi Shuihan's consciousness began to waver, and everything seemed to be heading in the worst possible direction.
The system is powerful, that's for sure, but the power of transcendence is even stronger now, and its power is still growing. Now, the entire continent, including countless floating continents, is constantly surging with the power of transcendence. It has no intention of giving Yi Shuihan any power. Even though it has already gained the upper hand, it continues to increase the pressure. Despair is no longer an option to describe the current situation.
In the end, those Great Dao Emperors who had been affected by the power of transcendence were temporarily freed from the influence and regained their senses. The power of transcendence even poured its remaining strength into the assimilation of Yi Shuihan.
The enlightened emperors were stunned by the awe-inspiring sight in the sky and the immense, majestic power emanating from it.
"What's this!?"
"I feel that even a slight leak of this power could reduce me to utter annihilation. Who exactly is it targeting now?"
"That is... the aura of the Infinite Emperor Yi Shuihan."
Originally, being so far away, the Great Dao Emperors, with their suppressed strength, couldn't even see Yi Shuihan, let alone sense him. However, with the power of transcendence fully assimilating Yi Shuihan, the Great Dao Emperors temporarily regained their powerful perception and sensed a trace of aura enveloped by the transcendent power.
