Chapter 739 Mortal Emperor

Di Tian continued his cultivation, deepening his comprehension of the Dao. Floating in front was a small golden tree that released a tremendous amount of Dao Rhymes. If anyone could see this tree, they would be surprised as it was the legendary Bodhi Tree–a treasure even Eternal Supremes would fight to the death for.

The Bodhi Tree enhanced comprehension and made it easier for cultivators to comprehend the Law. And once it grows to a certain size, it's helpful to even Great Emperor Realms and above. Even in the upper dimension, Bodhi Tree is an invaluable treasure.

Although it's not an Innate or Chaos Treasure, the Bodhi Tree is a hundred times more valuable than most of these treasures. Regrettably, Buddhist-oriented spiritual treasures became extinct after the extinction of Buddhism in the lower dimension and the Absolute Beginning Magic.

Di Tian only preserved this Bodhi Tree after awakening his memory as a monk in the Incense Era. After countless years, incalculable treasures, and relentless effort, he grew it to the current 50 cm size.

With the help of the Bodhi Tree and his Emperor Soul, Di Tian felt his comprehension had never been as smooth during his entire cultivation journey. So, he swiftly reached the pinnacle of the Supreme Realm.

To ensure a solid foundation, he underwent Dao Tribulation to temper his Dao Fruit to the best state possible. Then, nine Dharma Bodies manifested behind him, each reaching the limit of 1.269 trillion kilometers.

Di Tian began the fusion process, so his body grew in size. It did not take him long before he reached the height of the Dharma Body. So, he proceeded to fuse with the second; his actions allowed his body to break the limit of 1.269 trillion kilometers.

Di Tian repeated the process until he fused with all nine.

"So, I've reached this step again," muttered Di Tian as he checked his Dao Body. His strength reached 5-Root, but it was barely.

"The final step," he muttered before continuing his cultivation. He focused on condensing the Illusory World in his Acupoints to temper his body to the peak of this generation. Once he finished, a mysterious seed full of runes appeared in his Sea of Consciousness, releasing a power that drastically increased his fleshly body.

Di Tian exhaled. He absorbed the fleshly body strength of his previous generations, finally completing the Nine Extremity Foundation.

Boom!

He punched in the air, shaking the entire secret realm. Luckily, he used his power to reinforce the surroundings; otherwise, he would have destroyed everything.

"Only 13 Fiendgod Force?" he commented with some dissatisfaction. He soon relaxed since the research he did make him understand that True Power Dao was not an easy path to cultivate.

Di Tian did not leave his retreat since he finally reached the most crucial step: beyond Nine Extremity. He readjusted his state before closing his eyes. He saw a purple orb floating in his Sea of Consciousness and stared at it for a few minutes.

Although he knew it was the best choice to absorb the Limit Breaker–and he did not have a choice–a small part of him still wanted to use it to revive his wife. So, he took a deep breath before beginning to use it.

After completing the Nine Extremity Foundation, Di Tian felt he had reached a ceiling of power that he could not. He could push the height of the ceiling by a small margin, but he could never go beyond it.

However, as he used the Limit Break, he sensed cracks appearing on the ceiling.

Bang!

Di Tian felt the limitation of Heaven and Earth placed on him was forcefully broken. Then, he felt his strength increase at an exponential rate–especially His understanding of the Dao. Half of his Golden Dao Tree turned Purple Gold. His Divine Sea–which was a combination of Nine Divine Seas–expanded tremendously. His soul was nourished and reached an unprecedented level, and his energy was purified beyond a level he thought possible.

Di Tian had never felt such strength in his life; he was undergoing a radical transformation into a supreme and venerated being. The only disappointing thing about this transformation was his fleshly body, as he only reached 15 Fiendgod Force.

"Is this the power of a Great Emperor?" muttered Di Tian with a little fascination; he felt mighty, supreme, and invincible. In his mind, he could achieve anything between Heaven and Earth.

Di Tian suddenly felt danger, and he swiftly reigned in his mind as his powerful Dao Heart and state of mind stabilized; he did not let his sudden strength increase affect his mind.

"Is this why Nine Extremity requires a powerful Dao Heart to achieve?"

He quickly understood if he did not have a powerful Dao Heart to control his current strength, something terrible would happen; he might lose that strength or, worse–die.

'Huh?' He muttered as he raised his head. His vision penetrated the secret realm, and he saw the sky outside of the Di Clan. Numerous visions manifested in the sky, shrouding the entire Myriad Emperor World.

Di Tian frowned, "It detected my breakthrough?" He did not have the best relationship with Heavenly Dao, so he always used a Chaos Treasure to hide from the latter's eyes. But now, it seemed it discovered his breakthrough.

'It must be the work of True Heavenly Dao?' thought Di Tian, unhappy about the vision. With such a grand scene, some people should guess the reason for this great celebration.

A large piece of purple merit descended from the sky to Di Tian in the secret realm, followed by a piece of information in his mind. He squinted his mind as he realized breaking through the limit of Nine Extremity was not as simple as he imagined.

"Mortal Emperor," he muttered with squinted eyes. His achievement of Ten Extremity was the first in the entire Chaos Universe, so Grand Dao granted him the title of [Mortal Emperor].

With this title, he will have luck and destiny compared to a Son of Era without having the responsibilities. He will have an extended period compared to others to comprehend [Existence], thus increasing his chances of becoming Emperor.

Thirdly, his life span can break the limit of One Yuan Epoch. As a Mortal Emperor, he can live for Nine Yuan Epoch. Furthermore, he could participate in the Heavenly Battle every other generation without washing away his karma.

Lastly, he will have one extra life after proving the Dao, similar to if he had consumed a Longevity resource.

"So many benefits?"

Di Tian knew he would benefit significantly from any of these things. With such tremendous luck and destiny, he does not have to worry about Heavenly Dao's scheme. Plus, his survivability drastically increased. After all, with the destiny of Sons and Daughters of Era, it's not easy to kill them.

The second ability increased his chances of becoming an Eternal Emperor. More lifespan will always be valuable, not to mention the ability to not be affected by the karma of a generation's Heaven Will Battle.

Finally, he will have an extra life after becoming an Emperor.

Di Tian smiled slightly before returning to his old calm demeanor. Then, another piece of information appeared in his mind. As the first person to become a Mortal Emperor and create a new foundation, he has the right to name.

"Since there is Nine Extremity, call it Ten Supremacy Foundation."

As soon as he said these words, the records of Grand Dao changed and added a new level of Dao Foundation. Immediately, countless Paragons, Fiendgods, and Half-Step Detach Beings sensed the change in the universe. However, only a few could find this new record.

Many people even wanted to find the person who had such an achievement. Unfortunately, Grand Dao directly protected Di Tian's existence, not allowing anyone to discover him.

However, a few scary existences discovered the source of the change was the Eternal Ascension World.

Di Tian exhaled deeply to control his emotions. He looked at the purple merit before him and could not help smiling again. He placed it away, knowing this was the first step in a long road.

To his surprise, another piece of knowledge appeared in his Sea of Consciousness. However, the source was Emperyan Nine Pillar. The latter left him with many of his theories and possibilities about the Ten Supremacy Foundation.

"This person was truly a heaven-defying genius," commented Di Tian after reviewing the knowledge; he shook his head in regret as he could not fathom the latter's achievement if he were not obsessed with achieving Ten Supremacy.

'His inheritance will benefit me immensely. However, I have something else to do.'

He waved his hand to create a bunch of runes; he seemed to be casting a spell, but with his power, it was not instant. Moreover, Di Tian was very cautious.

'With my new power, he should not discover it. The only thing I should worry about is those damn old things.'

Di Tian breathed in relief before continuing his cultivation.

Science and Technology World:

Wang Wei and the Fate Incarnation waited for someone in a white room. Knowing it might take some time, he decided to continue to study the changes in his body and his previous fusion experience.
