The Last Words of the Void Emperor

Chapter 91 The Last Words of the Void Emperor

He put away the badly damaged Star-Eating Grass, but thankfully the supplies he carried were enough for the Star-Eating Grass to recover quickly.

While Gu Ce was at the bottom of the lava lake, he was still fighting against the puppets. He had finally managed to cut a hole in the collection device when he sensed the abnormality above.

As that anomaly occurred, the surrounding little puppets inexplicably disappeared.

When Gu Ce came up and saw that Qi Yunxian had forcibly activated the Holy Flame, his Star-Eating Grass was severely injured by this attack. After all, the Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass was only at the first level of the Realm Lord level, and it was still somewhat difficult to resist the power of the peak Realm Lord level.

Fortunately, the injury was not particularly serious compared to the Star-Eating Grass's enormous size, and it would recover after a period of rest. However, it would significantly slow down the time it would take to reach the ninth level of the Realm Lord.

Gu Ce took the core of the lava golem, and Yao Guangye helped Qi Yunxian, who limped to the central tower.

Insert the last puppet core!

The tower's gates opened, revealing the true core of the Void Emperor's Treasury.

"The Yao Guang family head once said that the Void Emperor has no less than three Holy Flame Flames on his body, and there may be other traps in the treasure vault. Please be careful, sir." Qi Yunxian was not in good condition, and Gu Ce did not give him any recovery items, so he could only recover slowly on his own.

Upon entering the tower, the first floor is filled with a large number of Fire Seed Crystals, roughly estimated to be hundreds of thousands of cubic meters, worth billions of Fire Seed Coins.

Yao Guangye followed behind Gu Ce and quickly helped Gu Ce count the number.

After the tally was done, Yao Guangye exclaimed with delight, "Brother, there are a total of 285,000 cubic meters of fire crystals here, which is more than the tax revenue of some prefecture cities over the past hundred years."

"These are probably the least valuable things here, you should put them away first," Gu Ce instructed.

The second floor of the tower.

Some weapons and armor are displayed here, seemingly the spoils of war of the former Emperor.

The third floor of the tower.

Here, there were many pieces of metal of excellent quality, which could probably fetch a good price even in space. Gu Ce put them all away.

The fourth floor of the tower.

Here are some mechanical parts and some unfinished puppets, which are of little value.

The fifth floor of the tower.

……

Upon arriving here, Gu Ce stopped in his tracks.

Here, seven stone platforms resembling torches were prominently displayed, with three flames of different colors dancing on three of them.

Blue, green, and colorful.

They represent the Holy Flame of Water and Void, the Holy Flame of Wood and Void, and the Holy Flame of Light and Time, respectively!

On the other side of the stone platform was a huge stone slab with some text recorded on it. Gu Ce did not rush to touch the holy flames, but instead read the contents first.

"I, the Void Emperor, am the city lord of the Void Emperor Main City. I have seen the Holy Gods many times and even participated in the Holy Pillar Trial, breaking into the third level of the Holy Pillar and obtaining the Origin Fire Seed! But alas, the peak of the World Lord level is the upper limit of this world. Unless one of the seven Holy Gods dies, no one can reach the realm of the Holy Gods."

"Before I fell, I wanted to challenge the Holy God. My target was the Holy God of Fleeting Life who controlled the Holy Flame of Light and Time. He was recognized as the weakest Holy God, but I still failed."

"Even if my body can withstand the simultaneous eruption of three different holy flames and possesses eight times the power of a peak World Lord, I still cannot reach the power of the Holy God."

"The Holy God of Life did not blame me for my provocation. Instead, he gave me three Holy Flame Flames again to encourage me to continue cultivating and becoming stronger. However, I know that my talent has reached its limit, so I left behind this treasure trove, hoping that someone with enough strength can obtain my inheritance."

"My biggest regret in life is that among the seven sacred flames, there is no Fire Void Sacred Flame that matches me."

"I hope that the one who receives my inheritance can attempt to gather all seven different Holy Flames. I speculate that simultaneously activating all seven should unleash 128 times the power of a peak World Lord in a short time, enough to surely slay a Holy God!"

"Also, among the seven holy gods, the weakest is not the Floating Life Holy God, but rather... if you have to choose an opponent, you can choose him."

The name of the weakest saint has been erased; it seems someone didn't want to lose face.

The power of a peak Realm Lord can be considered as one time the power of a Realm Lord.

128 times the power of a World Lord?

Gu Ce shook his head slightly.

Even the weakest Immortal Army Lord possesses more than 100 times the power of a Realm Lord. With such a small difference in strength, killing him is virtually impossible.

"Do you know what the Holy Pillar Trial is?" Gu Ce turned around and asked the two of them.

Yao Guangye shook his head, and Qi Yunxian thought for a moment before speaking.

"My lord, the Holy Pillar Trial should be a prerequisite for obtaining the Primal Flame. Each city lord of a major city only has one chance to challenge the Holy Pillar once every thousand years (one era in the original universe). The higher the level of the Holy Pillar Trial you pass, the better the reward. Legend has it that even the Holy God cannot pass the Holy Pillar Trial. If you pass it, you will gain the recognition of the true Holy Flame," Qi Yunxian said.

True Holy Flame?

You should definitely give it a try if you have the chance.

Gu Ce thought to himself.

As for now, let's first see what benefits this holy flame actually brings.

Gu Ce walked up to the pale blue holy flame.

"My lord, the process of absorbing the Holy Flame requires enduring the pain of being burned by the Holy Flame. If one's will is not strong enough, even if one fails to merge with the Realm Lord, one will die on the spot," Qi Yunxian reminded him.

"It's alright." Gu Ce was very confident in his will.

Reach out and probe into the holy flame!

"boom!"

Flames rose up, traveled up Gu Ce's arm, entered his body, and appeared in his dantian.

The Water and Void Sacred Flame symbolizes the fusion of water and space. The flame is merely a manifestation and has no actual relation to the fundamental law of fire. This is what troubles the Void Emperor.

Gu Ce closed his eyes, and the Holy Flame entered his body, instantly deepening his understanding of the Fusion Law.

The fourth image on the Ice Peak Chaos Stele depicts the Law of Fusion.

Gu Ce discovered that many problems that had previously baffled him were now easily solved. His understanding of the fourth picture also deepened. With the help of the holy flame, Gu Ce felt that his speed of cultivating and fusing the laws had increased by half a level.

[Analysis] This tiny flame of holy fire accomplished what even the most innate secret techniques could not achieve.

"call."

After a long while, Gu Ce exhaled a breath of stale air and opened his eyes.

The harvest was enormous!

Put away the remaining two Holy Flame Flames. Although they can't help with cultivating the Fusion Law, they can still be used for combat, etc.

If he were to simply ignite a holy flame, Gu Ce felt that with his current physical condition, he should be able to perform slightly better than Qi Yunxian, and even after unleashing a peak Realm Lord's attack, he would still have some stamina left.

Furthermore, when turning in the quest later, you can use these two Holy Flame Sparks that don't match your attributes.

That's 100,000 points!

As the three holy flames were taken away, this realm began to gradually collapse.

A crack appeared in the sky above the tower; it was an exit leading to the outside world.

Gu Ce led Yao Guangye and Qi Yunxian into the cave and quickly left.

……

outside world.

Luowu Gorge.

"Bang!"

The stone wall was shattered, smoke and dust filled the air, and debris flew everywhere. Gu Ce and his two companions emerged from the blast.

"Big brother, where to next?" Yao Guangye asked.

His and Qi Yunxian's lives are now in Gu Ce's hands, and they have no choice but to comply.

"Let's go to your Tianyan Prefecture City," Gu Ce said.
