There are always people stronger than you, and skies beyond the sky!
Before today, although Zhao Li didn't say it, he held a certain arrogance about being able to become a Heavenly Supreme, a realm slightly stronger than a Dou Di. Because of this, he even looked down on various things on the Dou Qi Continent, including the Plane Embryo that the Immortal Great Emperor had mentioned earlier.
But now, first the Green Lotus Core Flame gave him a small taste of humility, then the First Emperor gave him a considerable shock, and now, the Azure Lotus itself had directly shattered his self-important arrogance...
"Senior, what is the Legacy trial you mentioned?"
Zhao Li took a deep breath, suppressing the eagerness in his heart. He remembered that when he first arrived here, the First Emperor had said he was qualified to receive some Legacy. At that time, he hadn't paid attention, but now he was actively asking about the Legacy trial.
Seeing Zhao Li's change before and after, the First Emperor didn't mock him anymore, because he had also gone through the same mental process as Zhao Li. Otherwise, why would he, a half-step Dominator, create such a hidden Pocket Dimension in a small place like the Dou Qi Continent to leave behind a Legacy?
He laughed heartily, but his words made Zhao Li's heart sink:
"Hahahaha, what trial? I was just bored and wanted to see how the Juniors of my Dou Qi Continent were doing?"
Zhao Li believed he was telling the truth, but it definitely wasn't the whole truth. If it were him, knowing about something as significant as the plane's advancement, he wouldn't entrust it to just anyone who came along. The First Emperor being able to tell him so much was already quite amiable.
His expression froze, and the corner of his mouth twitched. He said dispiritedly:
"Senior Ye, could you be mistaken? As you said, above Spirit Grade Heavenly Supreme there are Immortal Grade and Saint Grade, and only then is your half-step Dominator Realm. How could I possibly be your opponent?"
Ignorance is bliss, but not to mention that the First Emperor had already introduced him to the three grades of Supreme and the Dominator Realm above that, even just from reading novels, he knew that the Dominator Realm was exactly as its name suggested. Upon advancing to Dominator, one could control the entire Great Thousand World. The entire Great Thousand World was under their control; creation and destruction were just a matter of Willpower...
Even if the First Emperor wasn't a true Dominator, but had only taken half a step into it, even if he was just a single Willpower, Zhao Li still knew that this trial was utterly impossible to fight!
The First Emperor neither confirmed nor denied, but he didn't give Zhao Li a chance to refuse. With a wave of his hand, The Void transformed, and Zhao Li was pulled into a strange Pocket Dimension. With a smile on his face, he looked at Zhao Li and slowly said:
"Actually, when you arrived here, the trial had already begun. Once the trial begins, it cannot be stopped. Of course, if you are truly unwilling, I can also send you back, but to keep the secret of this place, I might have to..."
As he spoke, he pointed his fingers like a sword, and a brilliant sword light had already appeared at his fingertip. It was like an arrow on a bowstring, poised and ready to shoot towards Zhao Li at any moment.
Zhao Li didn't know if it was the First Emperor's chilling expression and tone or the immense threat of that sword light, or perhaps both. He only felt a shiver run through him. Things had come to this; he knew that this battle was unavoidable.
Zhao Li let out a long breath, calming himself down. When he looked at the First Emperor, his eyes held a different look. Though he spoke slowly, word by word, there was only resolute determination and no hesitation. He said:
"Since Senior wishes to test this Junior, then I shall offend you."
Facing the number one person on the Dou Qi Continent, an existence even considered legendary in the Great Thousand World, Zhao Li didn't dare to be careless. Before his words finished, Innate Qi covered his entire body. As it circulated, a Tai Chi Phantom vaguely appeared behind Zhao Li!
Seeing that Zhao Li had the courage to attack and quickly adjusted his state, going all out from the start, a hint of appreciation appeared in the First Emperor's eyes. He even praised him, saying:
"Good! Dou Qi, Dou Qi! Facing any strong enemy, one must not lose the will to fight. Let me see if you, this Junior, are qualified to guide the world's advancement!"
Appreciation was one thing, but he didn't hold back in his attack at all. Before his words finished, a sword hum had already sounded first. Then, the long-prepared sword light flashed and disappeared, as if it had severed The Void, heading straight for Zhao Li's face!
This Legacy was originally left for the Dou Qi Continent, so he naturally wouldn't fight with his Dominator Realm. At this moment, he was only using power identical to Zhao Li's, barely reaching the Heavenly Supreme Realm!
He had no intention of holding back with this sword. If Zhao Li couldn't block it, then the greatest Opportunity within this Azure Lotus had nothing to do with him. Giving it to him would only be a waste.
Fast! Extremely fast!
This was Zhao Li's only thought when facing that sword light. He saw clearly that the First Emperor's sword finger was clearly just an ordinary sword strike, but its artistic conception was unavoidable!
Fortunately, Zhao Li hadn't intended to dodge either. With a thought, the Eight Trigrams Phantom behind him spun rapidly. As it spun, several Origins separated from the Eight Trigrams and fell into Zhao Li's hands.
"Five-Colored Divine Light, brush!"
In an instant, the Five Elements Origin had manifested in Zhao Li's hands. Under the flow of Five-Colored light, he struck out with a palm. The Five Elements circulated, interlinked, as if endlessly regenerating and without end. Under its illumination, the surrounding Space even completely returned to nothingness!
With a loud bang, the Saber Light dimmed, the Five-Colored light dissipated, and the crystal layers around The Void shattered. Not even the dark cracks that loved to join the fun appeared; this place directly returned to Chaos!
If the First Emperor hadn't pulled the two into this Pocket Dimension, under this single blow, the underground Space would probably have been shattered, and then it would affect the Continent. The entire Continent would likely suffer considerable damage!
Terrifying energy spread out, and the energy wave plastered Zhao Li's robes tightly against his chest, fluttering backward. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he was slightly surprised in his heart that he hadn't been instantly killed!
The next moment, he understood the reason. Since it was a test, the First Emperor wouldn't Crush him with his Realm. Otherwise, it would be impossible for anyone on the Dou Qi Continent to pass the trial!
However, if they were in the same Realm, then he might truly have to offend him...
With this thought, the Innate Qi around him intensified. Then, the Divine Light continued. A small portion of the terrifying energy at the point of contact between the two fell into his palm. Then, using this force, he struck out with another palm. With the borrowed force, the power of this palm was even greater than before.
"Good Dou Technique! Good method! Just with this one Dou Technique, you are no less than me, but if this is all, it's not enough!"
Seeing this, the First Emperor's eyes lit up, and he immediately praised him. With his knowledge, he could naturally see that Zhao Li's move was not simple. Nothing else, it contained the Rules of Origin. As long as Zhao Li grew, this move would also grow. In the future, it might truly reach the point where it could brush away anything!
If it were an ordinary Heavenly Supreme, they might truly be unable to do anything to Zhao Li, but even with the same power of a Heavenly Supreme, the power displayed in the hands of a Heavenly Supreme and in the hands of a Dominator are completely different concepts. Seeing that the sword light was blocked, the First Emperor raised his hand and struck out with two more swords. They were completely no weaker than the previous attack that seemed to have been prepared for a long time but was actually just his normal attack!
The swords were struck out one after another, but the two swords arrived simultaneously, meeting Zhao Li's palm. But this time, neither side gained the upper hand. Although the First Emperor had one more sword, the attack of each sword had not yet broken through the upper limit of the Five-Colored Divine Light. If the Five-Colored light wasn't broken, Zhao Li was safe!
The First Emperor also saw the problem and raised his eyebrows, becoming serious. A trace of sharpness was added to his handsome face, and then he struck out with his sword again. In just an instant, one hundred and twenty-eight sword lights had condensed before him.
Then, he formed a hand seal, and the sword lights combined in pairs, halved, combined again, halved again, until they merged into one. This sword, even though it hadn't been struck out yet, made the Space he had specially created unstable, with small-scale collapses occurring!
Zhao Li's pupils shrank. On this sword, he felt a fatal threat!
"Damn it, cheating!"
