Chapter 103: The Weakest in History

There are indeed actual combat records.

Leaving aside the realms before the Emperor, let's just talk about the battle records after becoming an Emperor.

She fought three battles with the Purple Phoenix Emperor.

In the first battle, the Purple Phoenix Emperor narrowly won because Shangguan Huanling had just broken through to the Emperor realm and her realm was still unstable.

In the second battle, Shangguan Huanling narrowly won, as the Purple Phoenix Emperor's Purple Extreme Phoenix Fire could no longer affect her.

In the third battle, Shangguan Huanling completely triumphed!

She also fought with the Celestial Great Emperor.

Only one battle was fought, and the Celestial Great Emperor willingly admitted defeat, unwilling to continue, and invited Shangguan Huanling to tea.

At that time, Lu Ye, well...

When Shangguan Huanling lost to the Purple Phoenix Emperor, Lu Ye had not long been promoted to the Celestial Lord realm.

When Shangguan Huanling narrowly won, Lu Ye personally killed the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord.

When Shangguan Huanling completely triumphed, Lu Ye was conquering the Forbidden Lands of the Wilderness, leveling them, and his fame shook the Nine Heavens.

Therefore, Shangguan Huanling is truly strong.

She is not a mere ornamental Emperor.

At this moment, Shangguan Huanling has reached the peak of the Refining Void realm.

Breakthrough!

Breakthrough!

In her previous life, she chose the wrong Avenue, passing over countless Avenues to choose the Path of Love.

This path was completely unsuitable for her.

Perhaps she truly loved Lu Ye, but what love in this world is eternal?

Thus, her path was broken.

In this life, no matter what Avenue she chooses, she will not choose the Path of Love again.

She wants to be invincible!

She wants to walk the Path of Invincibility!

At this moment, Shangguan Huanling's will is extremely firm. She has seen many Paths of Invincibility, and although she encountered Lu Ye and her Avenue crumbled, it was because they were not strong enough.

The aura of a strong practitioner of the Path of Invincibility, in her view, truly encompasses the universe, unparalleled in the world.

Lu Ye never had such a demeanor.

Path of Invincibility, come!

A faint trace of the Avenue's intent appeared on Shangguan Huanling.

Shangguan Hongtian and Danqing Shangren both trembled simultaneously.

It has begun!

The Dao intent lingers, slowly emerging.

It converges towards Shangguan Huanling's Nascent Soul.

The two of them???

They have recognized the path of invincibility.

But why is this Dao intent so unusually... weak?

Yes, weak, too weak.

Both of them are well-informed individuals who have witnessed more than one person achieving Unity Dao Realm.

Even the weakest Unity Dao Realm would create ripples of Dao intent stronger than what Shangguan Huanling is manifesting now...

No, what is going on?

Shangguan Huanling is also startled.

What's happening?

Why is she only generating such faint Dao resonance while consolidating the path of invincibility?

Her battle records are verifiable; she has defeated two Emperors in a row, and even those eight female Emperors were hardly her match.

Although she has rarely engaged in combat since reaching the Transcendent Realm, and hasn't needed to.

But having defeated so many Emperors, can't she claim the title of invincibility?

Shangguan Huanling is somewhat panicked.

She doesn't realize that invincibility is not some baseless fantasy.

Yes, Shangguan Huanling's invincibility is merely a fantasy, not even a will.

Throughout history, those who walked the path of invincibility fought thousands of battles, earning the admiration of all under heaven.

This is the true path of invincibility.

The path of invincibility is forged through battle, not through imagination.

Even if Shangguan Huanling had chosen the path of devouring in this life, no one would have expected her to dare to walk the path of invincibility.

If Lu Ye were to appear before Shangguan Huanling now, he would probably cover his eyes.

No!

This won't do!

The path of invincibility is too weak; she needs to change it!

She...

The Avenue completely merges into the Nascent Soul, and just a second before merging, the path of invincibility nearly shattered completely.

Unity Dao Realm achieved!

Shangguan Huanling's body trembled slightly.

Fused? She actually fused with such a weak Avenue?

This Avenue...

Shangguan Huanling didn't even know how to express her current feelings.

Shangguan Hongtian and Danqing Shangren's expressions changed drastically at the same moment.

"Ling'er, what's going on with the Avenue you fused with?" Shangguan Hongtian even forgot about whether he was disturbing Shangguan Huanling's cultivation.

Because the Avenue was too weak.

The strength or weakness of the fused Avenue directly affects a cultivator's future potential.

A weak Avenue, even if you cultivate until death, cannot compare to someone who cultivates a supreme Avenue.

The Avenue Shangguan Huanling cultivated was the Invincible Avenue, which itself belongs to the top-tier Avenues and is also the easiest to start with.

Easy to start, high potential, but the mortality rate is too high.

Yet, such an easy Invincible Avenue, Shangguan Huanling almost failed to fuse with it...

Shangguan Huanling also knew that she was a bit hasty in this fusion. She felt upset for a moment, thinking it shouldn't be like this!

But it's okay.

"Father, Senior Danqing, don't be anxious. I was just trying it out. My technique itself doesn't require fusion. I fused just to break through the original constraints of the technique. Just watch me continue to improve."

Although Shangguan Huanling panicked for a moment, her thinking shifted relatively quickly.

She didn't understand why the fused Invincible Avenue was so weak. In her previous life, she didn't fuse and still became an Emperor. In this life, she fused, and as long as she persisted, she would grow.

She continued to cultivate.

As she devoured spiritual treasures, her aura began to rise again, with no limit in sight.

At this point, although Shangguan Hongtian and Danqing Shangren still had doubts, they could accept it.

As long as she could continuously improve.

One spiritual treasure after another was quickly devoured.

Fusion Second Layer!

Fusion Third Layer!

Fusion Fourth Layer!

Too fast!

Shangguan Hongtian and Danqing Shangren's spirits lifted, and part of their doubts melted away.

However, the spiritual treasures were disappearing faster and faster.

The higher her realm, the more true essence she needed to convert, naturally requiring more spiritual treasures.

Over a hundred spiritual treasures have been reduced to just twenty.

Seventh level of Dao Union!

Thirteen remain.

"No, these spiritual treasures are not enough, I need more!" said Shangguan Huanling.

"Fellow Daoist!"

Shangguan Hongtian looked at Danqing Shangren.

Danqing Shangren's expression was hesitant.

"Boom!"

Another massive explosion.

The city's protective formation had begun to crack.

"Fellow Daoist, the situation is critical!"

"The disaster of sect and nation destruction is imminent!"

Danqing Shangren gritted his teeth and took out another eleven spiritual treasures, this batch clearly of higher quality than the previous ones.

Eighth level of Dao Union!

Five spiritual treasures remain.

"Still not enough!"

Shangguan Hongtian gritted his teeth and brought out the last of the Supreme Empire's acquired spiritual treasures used by the Supreme Empire's strong cultivators.

He looked again at Danqing Shangren.

At this moment, both had turned into gamblers.

They had placed a very heavy bet on Shangguan Huanling, and this bet could not be withdrawn.

Not following through now would mean all previous bets were in vain.

Moreover, it would lead to the destruction of their nation and sect.

They had no choice but to continue.

Danqing Shangren sighed deeply.

Honestly, he was already regretting it.

Is this really the reincarnation of an Emperor?

It really doesn't seem like it!

Helpless, having come this far, his figure disappeared as he went to retrieve the spiritual treasures from the other cultivators of the Shanhe Pagoda Sect.
