Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 6999

Chapter 6909: The Shadow of the Heavenly Emperor

The Heavenly Emperor Pillar was formed by compressing nine hundred and ninety-nine level-nine star systems, radiating brilliant starlight. Countless spiral arms of star systems, like jade ribbons, coiled around the pillar, each step of which was forged from black holes.

Sacred and magnificent!

Li Tianming looked up at the very top of the Heavenly Emperor Pillar.

Tai Su said from the side, “You now possess the Listening Dao Token, granting you the authority to ascend the Heavenly Emperor Pillar. You can pass through the identification array at the entrance of the Line Source Walkway beneath the Heavenly Emperor Pillar.”

“Go quickly,” Hongyan said gently.

Li Tianming nodded and then headed directly to the Line Source Walkway beneath the Heavenly Emperor Pillar.

It must be said that her attitude towards Li Tianming, this worry-free and outstanding disciple, was worlds apart from her attitude towards others.

For example, those people in the private room who were clearly shocked by Li Tianming but stubbornly refused to acknowledge his excellence, were thoroughly reprimanded by Hongyan until they had nothing to say, showing none of the gentleness she showed now.

Upon reaching the Line Source Plank Road, Li Tianming noticed a golden halo emanating from the “Emperor” character on his listening tablet at his waist. A golden “Emperor” character then slowly expanded, protecting Li Tianming within it.

He decisively passed through the protective array before him and proceeded along the Line Source Plank Road towards the Heavenly Emperor’s Divine Pillar.

At this moment, Li Tianming felt a slight unease. He treated the Eternal Heavenly Emperor’s sermon with equanimity, viewing it merely as part of his cultivation, but he was still somewhat worried about meeting Xiao Jiu.

This plank road seemed to have only one route, but the listening tablet at Li Tianming’s waist flashed, as if his path had been altered by some unseen force.

Finally, he reached the end of the Line Source Plank Road.

Li Tianming stepped out of the Line Source Plank Road, as if parting a cloud and entering a new world.

Before him lay a vast, flat expanse, its edge barely visible.

Looking ahead, he saw a “wall,” and behind him, a “cliff.” Only

in the middle of this platform could he see the entirety of the starry ground beneath his feet.

These were enormous steps!

And the vast land beneath Li Tianming’s feet was merely one of them!

The wall before him connected to the next step, while the cliff behind him connected to the next.

Looking further up, towards the end of the steps, Li Tianming saw a magnificent, imposing super-galactic palace.

This was the largest building Li Tianming had ever seen!

The incredibly wide steps beneath his feet, like a continent, seemed minuscule in comparison to that galactic palace!

Not only was it enormous, but the main body of the palace was reinforced with extremely rare Dao minerals, almost entirely to the standards of forging top-tier Dao treasures, shimmering with starlight.

Even without the protection of a Dao array, it was enough to withstand the attacks of a super-powerful being.

But even the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan, who followed the Li Clan, had top-tier Dao arrays for protection; would this palace not? A celestial

canopy of illusory light, formed by top-tier Dao arrays, flowed around the outer layer of the palace, the level of which surpassed even the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor City!

“This is the Lingxiao Imperial Palace!”

Even the usually composed Aurora exclaimed in shock.

Sui Shenyao exclaimed repeatedly, and An Ning also exclaimed in shock, “How magnificent!”

Li Tianming was also amazed, but then he asked curiously, “What would such a place look like in the real universe?”

After saying that, he transformed into a ball of light in the Guanzizai Realm and entered the Real World Dock.

From the perspective of the Real World Dock, a super galaxy stretched upwards beneath his feet, so vast as to be indescribable, and Li Tianming was located at almost the very end.

At the top of the super galaxy, the Lingxiao Imperial Palace was a true super galactic megacity. With the Guanzizai Realm’s enhancement, Li Tianming’s perception was slightly better.

In the real universe, Li Tianming could hardly even see the entirety of the Lingxiao Imperial Palace!

Countless galactic spiral arms floated above this palace, and the vast and boundless super star cluster aggregates constituted the main body of the Lingxiao Imperial Palace.

Each super cosmic line was imprisoned within it by Dao arrays, utilizing its energy, as if it had become an ornament.

Li Tianming exclaimed in shock, “This is outrageous! Is this the true foundation of the Heavenly Emperor Sect? Compared to it, even the Imperial City guarding the Imperial Clan seems ordinary.”

Aurora said, “After all, this is equivalent to a royal palace. In terms of size and majesty, it naturally surpasses the families of its subjects.”

Li Tianming looked up again and made an even more significant discovery.

“That is…”

Above this Lingxiao Imperial Palace, there was a huge phantom!

This phantom had a golden body and white hair, somewhat similar to the ancestral phantom inside the Young Emperor Tower.

However, unlike the ancestral phantom, which lacked actual combat power, this phantom, though indistinct, possessed a truly vast power of the cosmic god!

This power and imperial aura shook the four directions. He was an unparalleled emperor, standing atop the Lingxiao Imperial Palace!

Facing the long staircase beneath Li Tianming’s feet, he exuded a sense of overlooking all living beings and looking down upon the world!

“This is a very powerful Emperor’s Path, a true pinnacle of power!”

“Aunt, what is the origin of this phantom?” Li Tianming asked in surprise.

Before this, Aurora could only obtain information from the disciples under the other Heavenly Emperor’s Divine Pillars with Yin Chen, so this was the first time she had seen the scene above the Heavenly Emperor’s Divine Pillars.

After being shocked, she gradually adapted and, based on the scene and the information obtained by Yin Chen, deduced the identity of this phantom.

Aurora said, “This is the Dao Shadow of the Eternal Heavenly Emperor, a full 100,000 light-years away! No one has ever truly seen the Eternal Heavenly Emperor himself, nor does anyone know the true size of the Eternal Heavenly Emperor’s body, so no one can find out any related information.”

“Therefore, this sermon is not the Eternal Heavenly Emperor himself giving the sermon, but rather a Dao Shadow that he captured during his endless cultivation life is giving the sermon.”

“Even so, for disciples under 300,000 years old, it is a resounding enlightenment, which can benefit them immensely, just as your two masters said, it is also useful for those above the Heavenly Venerable level!”

“So mysterious?” Li Tianming was astonished.

But at this moment, having ascended the Heavenly Emperor’s Divine Pillar, Li Tianming had more important matters to attend to, and naturally had no interest in listening to the sermon.

He arrived at the end of the steps that resembled a continent beneath his feet, and upon observation, found himself on the ninety-ninth step from the top, with the final one hundredth step behind him.

“It seems that the path to the Divine Pillar uses the information recorded on the listening tablets to transport people to different steps, and since I was the ninety-ninth, I’ve arrived at this step.”

As he approached the hundredth step and tried to cross it, he was surprised to find that a golden barrier had appeared out of nowhere and blocked his way!
