Peerless God Emperor

"Whew." Dongfang Ling let out a deep breath, and the devouring energy in his eyes disappeared. His nervous heart finally relaxed. He tried his best to remember even more ancient characters. When he returned, he could slowly comprehend them.    

At this moment, he was feeling a bit emotional. Void Empyrean Sovereign's self-created divine technique was indeed extraordinary. Not to mention comprehending it, even reading it once would be extremely difficult.    

Of course, this could also have something to do with his boundary. Currently, he was only a First Order Saint. Compared to an Empyrean, he was thousands of miles away. It was naturally impossible for him to so easily overlook an Empyrean's inheritance.    

Dongfang Ling didn't think too much about it. He subconsciously looked at Qin Xuan beside him. The next moment, his expression froze and his eyes revealed a hint of shock.    

"His eyes …" Dongfang Ling's heart suddenly shook. He noticed that Qin Xuan's eyes had become very different from before. They were incomparably deep, faintly revealing a sense of nothingness. It was difficult to capture, and even more so unable to describe with words.    

A thought instantly flashed through Dongfang Ling's mind. Qin Xuan might have comprehended something.    

He was confident that he saw more ancient characters than Qin Xuan, but Qin Xuan's eyes changed as if they touched the essence of the scroll and he was the same as before. This meant that Qin Xuan probably found the right method.    

Thinking of this, Dongfang Ling could not help but bitterly smile. At the same time, his realm still held the advantage, but in the end, it was Qin Xuan who had comprehended the mysteries within the scroll.    

It was evident that his comprehension ability was not as good as Qin Xuan's.    

However, Dongfang Ling didn't feel any jealousy or anger. Instead, he looked at Qin Xuan with appreciation. Walking with such a monster and being able to continuously urge him to improve, that was a good thing as well.    

Furthermore, Void Empyrean Sovereign's lucky chance was originally prepared for Qin Xuan. It was within reason that he did not comprehend that the lucky chance did not belong to him.    

After a period of time, Void Empyrean Sovereign suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at Dongfang Ling. His handsome face broke out into a smile as he sent a mental message, "Although I have yet to learn the essence of the Void Art, I should be able to gain some insights in the future.    

"Junior understands." Dongfang Ling nodded and replied. It wasn't like he didn't have any gains from comprehending the scroll. At least he remembered many ancient characters. From those ancient characters, he should be able to gain some comprehensions.    

Dongfang Ling pondered for a moment, then softly asked Void Empyrean Sovereign: "Can I ask Senior a few questions?"    

"Is this related to the Venerable One?" Void Empyrean Sovereign glanced at Dongfang Ling.    

"Exactly." Dongfang Ling seriously replied.    

Void Empyrean Sovereign's face revealed a look of regret, and he sighed: "Back then when the evil races invaded us, the Devouring Sky Sovereign stepped forward in order to protect the peace of the Nine Regions. Although he forced the evil races to retreat, he was also severely injured.    

"So it's like that." Dongfang Ling's heart trembled. It seemed like the Palace Chief was right. Our ancestors died for the Nine Regions.    

"Then can we still return to the God Realm?" Dongfang Ling asked.    

"Of course." Void Empyrean Sovereign nodded with a smile. "You juniors are the future of the God Realm. The hope of the Nine Mystical Star Region is naturally to head to the God Realm in the future."    

"Then why couldn't I go before?" Dongfang Ling asked again.    

"It's not time yet." Void Empyrean Sovereign replied.    

Dongfang Ling's eyes narrowed. Void Empyrean Sovereign had only replied with four words, but they contained a profound meaning. It wasn't the time yet, so what was the time?    

Dongfang Ling wanted to continue asking, but in the end, he didn't ask.    

The reason why Void Empyrean Sovereign replied with those four words was because he didn't want to reveal too much. Even if he asked further, it would be useless. He still quietly waited for that day to come.    

At this moment, Qin Xuan's eyes became more and more terrifying, they had completely turned silvery-white, and there seemed to be deep patterns revolving on his pupils. It was like an abyss that no one dared to look directly at.    

Dongfang Ling was shocked when he saw this. It seemed that Qin Xuan had truly comprehended. At this moment, he was curious as to what exactly Qin Xuan had comprehended.    

Afterwards, Dongfang Ling closed his eyes and began to perceive the ancient characters in his mind. He hadn't discovered the secrets within, so he didn't know if he could see through it now.    

After an unknown period of time, an invisible energy condensed around Qin Xuan's body, which surrounded his body. Divine light shone from his body, and various sounds were emitted from within his body, such as the rumbling of a great dao, the roars of a bloodline, and the roars of a Demonic Beast … Many different sounds mixed together, causing one's mind to tremble.    

At the same time, the Stellar Wanxiang Diagram began to revolve rapidly, releasing endless amounts of starlight, causing Qin Xuan's body to seem like a world of stars. The surface of his body was also glowing with a dazzling starlight, so bright that it was hard to open his eyes.    

"This …" Dongfang Ling was awoken by the movement inside Qin Xuan's body. When he saw the scene in front of him, he was shocked speechless.    

At that instant, as Qin Xuan was bathed in the starlight, he gave off the impression of a son of the stars. He was incomparably divine and outstanding, as if he was born to be a star, destined to shine endlessly.    

"Bam." A light sound rang out from Qin Xuan's body. At this moment, Qin Xuan's aura had become much stronger. There were many types of powerful auras circulating throughout his body, giving off an extraordinary aura.    

"He broke through!" A light flashed through Dongfang Ling's eyes. Qin Xuan had used the Void Divine Art to break through and become a great Emperor.    

Feeling the aura being emitted by Qin Xuan's body, Dongfang Ling had a hunch that Qin Xuan's current strength was not any weaker than his before he entered the Heavenly God's Eye.    

Qin Xuan's eyes opened as if there was a silver flash of light. All of the ripples in the space seemed to have no place to hide under his gaze. They were all clearly seen.    

Subsequently, Qin Xuan retracted his aura and his eyes returned to normal. He looked at Dongfang Ling and asked with a smile, "How is your comprehension?"    

"Not as strong as you." Dongfang Ling bitterly smiled and shook his head. Qin Xuan's talent was too terrifying. He had actually comprehended Void Empyrean Sovereign's Divine Arts so quickly. He was simply defying humans.    

"Eh …." When Qin Xuan heard the answer from Dongfang Ling, he was stunned. He looked a bit embarrassed. If he knew earlier, he wouldn't have asked.    

"What did you gain from looking at the divine arts?" Void Empyrean Sovereign looked at Qin Xuan and asked with a faint smile on his face.    

"If I'm not wrong, the vanished ancient characters aren't really of much use. Senior only wants us to comprehend something other than the vanished ancient characters." Dongfang Ling's expression suddenly became serious. So this was the truth?    

Then, he felt a bit depressed. He was still trying to memorize the ancient characters, but he didn't expect the method to be completely opposite.    

"You're half right." Dongfang Ling smiled and said. Qin Xuan couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression. Then what's the other half?    

"It's not that the vanished ancient characters are useless, but it's just that you can't reveal it for the time being. What you have comprehended is the first part of the Void Divine Art, the Eye of the Void." Void Empyrean Sovereign said slowly, "The operation of everything in the world has its own internal laws. The same goes for the Heavenly Dao. The Eye of Void can see through the essence of things."    

Hearing Void Empyrean Sovereign's explanation, Qin Xuan felt like he didn't understand what was going on. It was as if he understood something, but he didn't say it out loud.    

Now he could indeed see things that he could not see before. Was this the essence of things?    

"You only touched a strand of the Eye of Void's essence, but it's not particularly deep yet. When you get familiar with it for a period of time, you will be able to understand the true meaning of my words." Void Empyrean Sovereign then said, "When you understand the Eye of Void, you will also understand the profundity of the Dao of the Void."    

A hint of excitement flashed across Qin Xuan's eyes. The path of nothingness was the path that Void Empyrean Sovereign had created!
