Ancient Godly Monarch
chapter-947

Mo Xie was the focus of attention from all the geniuses present. His appearance instantly robbed everyone of their radiance, overshadowing them all.

It was just like he’d said it would be. Now that he, Mo Xie, had arrived, this inheritance could only belong to him. No one else would have a part of it.

And now, Mo Xie was using his own strength to prove his very words.

Mo Xie floated in the air, and was now resonating at the same frequency as that golden body. The energy from the golden body was pouring into him as his body began to circulate with a terrifying, soul-shaking light. Even if they weren’t near Mo Xie, they could still clearly feel the transformation his body was undergoing now.

"He must surely be establishing a physique. Mo Xie…will he be able to succeed?" The various geniuses quietly mused. After so many days, a lot of the geniuses had already given in to despair. They’d attempted this too many times, and most of their physiques were simply unable to reach a breakthrough at a minimum level. That was the most basic step of all, yet it was a wall that had blocked countless people. They had no way to endure the pressure of the resonance.

This indicated that their bodies didn’t have the qualifications to establish a supreme physique. They couldn’t even meet the standard conditions, and thus, they were simply not qualified. And as more time passed by, all the geniuses eventually came to this realization. Compared to those top few rankers of the Immortal Ascension Rankings, they still had a very long way to go to catch up to them.

Qin Wentian’s eyes remained closed. His body also radiated a flowing, dazzling light. But no matter what, from the beginning until now his body still hadn’t reached the depth of resonance that Mo Xie did. It was as though he was unable to establish a supreme physique.

This caused Qin Wentian to be extremely vexed. In reality, he had comprehended the might and energy within the golden body for quite some time. The energy in that golden body was massively vast, and also bore the attributes of indestructibility. It could transform one’s body to become perfect, and intensify one’s life force to a terrifying extreme. If one could establish such a physique, it would be sufficient enough to effortlessly stomp on existences in the same cultivation realm. In fact, just releasing a blast of their auras could crush any opponents on the same level.

As for Nanfeng Yunxi and Jun Mengchen, both of their bodies were undergoing some transformation. Nanfeng Yunxi’s entire body glowed red as incomparably scorching flames enveloped her delicate frame completely. A beautiful phantom of a phoenix appeared, shining with multi-colored light, causing one to be awed by a sense of holiness, as well as her beauty.

Jun Mengchen’s body was enveloped by his king’s armor, as the Clear Skies Worldly Diagram floated behind his back, birthing an emperor king’s might. He resembled a king that governed the heavens, exuding his dominance and lording over all in the world.

"His body also seems to be transforming. These people aren’t as simple as they appear." There were people who exclaimed in shock after noticing Jun Mengchen’s transformation. This Jun Mengchen kept giving them surprises.

Boundless runic light circulated around Jun Mengchen, but although his body was also resonating with the golden body, he was unable to achieve a full fusion. It seemed like he was walking his own path.

Jun Mengchen’s personality was carefree and casual. He didn’t like restrictions, and was clear on who he loved and hated. If he didn’t like someone, he just didn’t like that person. Although he’d arrived in front of the golden body, he still felt that this physique was unsuitable for him. Hence, he didn’t really have an intense enough conviction in wanting to establish that physique. Instead, he made use of the resonance from the golden body, and allowed things to flow naturally without actively controlling and trying to fuse together with it. In the end, the transformation happening to his body was something he had never imagined.

Time flowed by, and in the blink of an eye, another ten days passed by. Everything was the same as before, but Mo Xie seemed to grow even more terrifying. Double layers of light circulated around him, one black and one gold, which combined into a dark golden color. This fearsome luster gave off a sense of indestructibility, and the aura he exuded stretched out even more as his life force intensified, like that of a true eternal body.

Nanfeng Yunxi’s body was undergoing a transformation as well. Qing`er was the same as before, quietly meditating where she stood, but her aura had also grown increasingly intense.

At this moment, Qin Wentian opened his eyes. He stared at the figures around him before his eyes rested on Mo Xie. Mo Xie’s entire body was flowing with a dark, golden light and his aura had reached the absolute peak below immortality. In fact, it felt like he could break through the barrier at any moment to establish his immortal foundation, and become an immortal.

"The ancient emperors all have their own preferences, hoping that their inheritors would be proficient with the energy they themselves were proficient in. Ancient Emperor Yi was proficient in divine inscriptions and hence, those who were weak in the Dao of Divine Inscriptions would never be able to comprehend the God’s Hand. And as for this ancient emperor with a supreme physique, would his inheritance truly suit Mo Xie?"

Qin Wentian silently considered this. Most probably, this ancient emperor had never expected Mo Xie to not only be suitable for his inheritance, but also for the inheritance of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor as well. Before this, Mo Xie had already gained part of the inheritance left behind by the Brahma Heavenly Emperor and if this continued on, there was a high possibility that Mo Xie might be able to obtain this inheritance as well, congregating the legacies of the two ancient emperors within just one person alone. At that time, no one would be able to block his momentum.

At this moment, Qin Wentian turned his gaze onto Qing`er, Nanfeng Yunxi, and Jun Mengchen. When he glanced at Jun Mengchen, his expression suddenly froze. He saw a terrifying light flowing around his junior brother, as worldly runes covered him entirely. A vast and ancient aura could be felt gushing forth from Jun Mengchen, strong to the extreme.

Sharpness gleamed in his eyes after Qin Wentian saw such a scene. Establishing a physique, establishing a physique…maybe he’d been wrong from the start. Sometimes, being overly persistent could lead one down the wrong path.

As he thought of this, Qin Wentian closed his eyes once more. With no distractions in his heart, the rumbling sounds continued endlessly. However, he didn’t try to force the fusion with the energy of the golden body, but allowed the transformations of his body to happen naturally. His own energy guided the other, as the terrifying demonic blood in him circulated frenziedly. It caused his entire body to turn incomparably demonic, and a terrifying demonic might burst out from him. The power of his demonic bloodline seemed to transform into runes that were inscribed on his entire body.

As for the power of his second bloodline, it also started to thrum because of the energy from the golden body. That power appeared saint-like, exuding a feeling of holiness. As it passed through him, Qin Wentian’s violent and immense aura grew more tranquil as though the power of the golden body was suppressing the power of his second bloodline. A mystical transformation then happened to Qin Wentian’s body as various runes surfaced on his skin, before fading away and then replaced by entirely new ones. This happened again and again without ceasing, as though his body was trying to find out of its own accord the most suitable physique for him to establish.

This time, Qin Wentian didn’t even try to resist its impact, and he also didn’t concern himself with wondering how that surge of energy would transform his body. He merely used the golden body as a catalyst, allowing his body to guide him naturally.

Qin Wentian’s aura gradually grew more passive and no longer felt as vast as before. It had become more ordinary, as though returning to simplicity from complexity.

"The aura Mo Xie is exuding grows stronger and stronger. Most probably, he’ll be able to establish a supreme physique soon. This Qin Wentian is truly interesting. By contrast, his aura has become more quiet and tranquil. Has he given up?" somebody commented in a low voice upon seeing this.

"Establishing a physique. If Mo Xie succeeds, I wonder if the golden body will still exist. If it’s still here, doesn’t that mean that everybody could just keep trying as long as they want, and maybe be lucky enough to establish a supreme physique for themselves?" mumbled someone else.

"Even if that’s the case, not many will succeed," replied the person beside him. The other geniuses had nothing to say to that. They had already attempted it many times, and indeed, even if the golden body remained here forever, how many of them would really succeed?

Most probably, only those ranked in the top five of the Immortal Ascension Rankings would have a trace of hope.

Finally, a startling might swept over the heavens and earth. Endless rumbling sounds echoed, like the sounds of tidal waves crashing onto the shore. The golden body started to emit boundless light, directly shooting towards Mo Xie. At this instant, the crowd discovered that the golden body had transformed into a faint shadow that was gradually merging together with Mo Xie’s body.

"This is…?"

"Is Mo Xie going to succeed in establishing his physique?"

—BANG!— A brilliant light erupted forth as the golden body disappeared. In fact, it even caused everyone to feel like an illusion had dissipated… as though the golden body had never even existed. Maybe the perfect physique that everyone sensed had only been formed from pure energy in the first place.

And in that moment, it completely disappeared.

Mo Xie’s body continued to float, as an incomparably terrifying light radiated from him. He was covered with a dark golden glow, and a terrifying aura seemed to flow out from him. The surrounding geniuses felt certain that Mo Xie’s strength had shot up to another level, stepping over an unimaginable boundary.

Before this, Mo Xie was already considered quite strong at the peak of Celestial Phenomenon. If his strength reached past another boundary, the results would be simply inconceivable. To grow one’s power even after being at the peak of Celestial Phenomenon? How terrifying would that be?

Mo Xie’s eyes slowly opened as rays of dark, golden light shot from his eyes, terrifying to the extreme. His body moved, and he stood up from his floating position. There was now a trace of excitement flickering in his eyes.

Success! His strength had risen to another level. The more solid his fundamentals, the higher his chances of success when it came to establishing his immortal foundation. This was the ideal state he wanted and now, he had finally achieved it.

His eyes swept across the crowd, and his gaze seemed to leave those around him with a feeling of diminishment. He had proven his arrogant words from earlier.

Since he was here, the inheritance now belonged to him.

Who could contend against him?

Right now, there was no doubt that this inheritance belonged to Mo Xie.

Mo Xie’s dark, golden eyes glanced at Nanfeng Yunxi, Qing`er, and Qin Wentian. He couldn’t help but sneer, "How can you three obstruct me?"

"Hmph." Nanfeng Yunxi’s countenance was like ice, she didn’t deign to reply.

"Still cultivating?" Mo Xie faintly remarked after observing Qin Wentian. "Is there even any meaning to that?"

After that, he lost interest in them and continued to advance forward. When the golden light from the golden body had completely dissipated, an entrance to the depth of the cavern appeared. Mo Xie had guessed it correctly; after establishing a physique, there was further good fortune waiting ahead.

This ancient emperor that could stand equally against the Brahma Heavenly Emperor would surely not aid the inheritor just by merely establishing a physique. And now… he, Mo Xie, would seize that which rightfully belonged to him: the true inheritance of this ancient emperor.

Back then, the Brahma Heavenly Emperor and this ancient emperor were unable to determine a victor, which led to both of them leaving their inheritances behind for future generations. Today, with just his strength alone, Mo Xie had managed to seize both inheritances.

"Seniors. In the future, I alone will combine your strengths together. There’s no longer a need for the two of you to continue fighting, and there’s also no need for further feelings of regret." Mo Xie’s eyes were sharp as he stepped out, his entire being was filled with heroism. This was merely the beginning. In the vast immortal realms, he, Mo Xie, would eventually stand at the peak!
