Kyoto, inside the Imperial Palace.

Because the Yan army had already formed an encirclement around Zhongzhou and was advancing at a not-so-slow pace from several directions, Sima Ke was already somewhat flustered.

He simply didn't understand what was happening.

What happened to the promised welcome with food and drink, giving him a dignified ending? Why did Chen Yuan start mobilizing his troops for war without even a word?

Hundreds of thousands of troops advancing side by side could be said to have shattered Sima Ke's courage.

Ever since he learned of the news, he had been living in constant anxiety, even dreaming of the army storming the city walls, shouting the slogan 'Exterminate the Tyrant'.

And his cheap father, Chen Yuan, ignored everything.

It seemed that his mother and he had lost their last value.

Not worth giving them a dignified end.

Inside the dim Golden Luan Hall, two trembling eunuchs knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads at all, because if they did, they would be reprimanded by the emperor. In recent days, more than a handful of eunuchs and maids had been executed for minor matters.

Shasha—

A scarlet dress trailed on the ground, outlining a graceful figure. Princess Pingyang glanced at the two eunuchs beside her, entered the Golden Luan Hall with a stern face, and scolded in a cold voice:

"What madness are you up to again!"

Emperor Sima Ke, whose eyes were bloodshot and face haggard, heard the familiar voice and hurriedly raised his head, asking in surprise:

"Imperial Sister... Imperial Sister... you're finally here."

After learning the news, he had issued several edicts for Princess Pingyang to enter the palace, but had received no response. Now, Princess Pingyang was in control of the power.

Without her permission, this emperor couldn't even leave the Imperial City.

"Do you even look like an emperor now?"

"I... This humble servant..." Sima Ke's face changed several times, gloomy and uncertain. He certainly didn't look like an emperor, more like a puppet.

"What do you want me for?"

Princess Pingyang walked up the steps and sat on the Dragon Throne with practiced ease.

"Imperial Sister, you know about the Yan army besieging Zhongzhou on three sides, right?" Sima Ke's face was filled with a flattering smile. Anyone who didn't know would even think Princess Pingyang was the emperor.

"I know."

"Then you?"

"Yan King originally wanted to completely pacify the Central Plains. Now that Wei Jinfeng is dead, Wei Wuque is in power, and You and Liang provinces have already submitted to Chen Yuan. Looking at the thirteen provinces of the Central Plains,

Only Zhongzhou has not been recovered. Taking action... is only a matter of time."

"No, I don't mean that, I mean, Yan King didn't even say hello this time, and directly took action, it seems... it seems he wants to wipe us all out..."

Sima Ke's voice became lower and lower, but it was still clearly heard by Princess Pingyang. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she said softly:

"Your Majesty is overthinking it. Yan King has always been a man of his word. This time, he is just doing it for the world to see. When he arrives at the capital, he will naturally persuade us to surrender.

At that time, everything will be as before."

"But..."

"With me and the Empress Dowager here, what are you afraid of? Instead of being anxious here, you might as well try to please your mother, with her relationship with Chen Yuan, saving your life is just a matter of a word."

"Uh... Imperial Sister is right..."

"What needs to be said, I have already said before. As long as you handle this matter smoothly, you will have a life of wealth in your later years." Princess Pingyang said lightly.

There was already some displeasure in her eyes.

"With... With Imperial Sister's words, I... I feel much more at ease." Sima Ke squeezed out a flattering smile.

"I have other matters, so I'll take my leave first."

"Imperial Sister, walk slowly, I'll see you off..."

"No need, you should think about it carefully..."

......

After seeing Princess Pingyang off, Sima Ke's face still didn't relax at all. He let out a breath, his eyes still a little anxious, and his mind uneasy.

Sima Ke was about to walk up the steps to sit on the Dragon Throne for the last few days, after all, he wouldn't be able to sit on it in the future. As a result, as soon as he looked up, he saw a figure sitting on the Dragon Throne, looking down at her, exuding a powerful aura all over his body.

"Bold, who are you, daring to rebel and usurp the throne, sit in my seat, guards, guards..." Sima Ke's eyes were full of shock and anger, shouting loudly for the guards outside.

But strangely, there was no movement outside at all.

"Bastard, I heard you recognize Chen Yuan as your father?!"

Sima Yuande said with an indifferent face, scolding.

"Who exactly are you!"

Sima Ke swallowed a mouthful of saliva, pointing at Sima Yuande with some nervousness.

"I am your ancestor!"

Sima Yuande said coldly.

Sima Ke was also furious. Even if he didn't have real power, he was still a real emperor. Being insulted and pointed at the nose in this place was naturally unbearable. He directly cursed:

"I am your ancestor!!!"

"Bastard!"

Sima Yuande's eyes narrowed, and a whip suddenly condensed in his hand, directly hitting Sima Ke, immediately drawing a blood-red mark.

"Ah!!!"

Sima Ke was knocked to the ground, trembling all over.

"Pa!"

"Pa!"

"Pa!"

The whip flashed through the air, constantly hitting Sima Ke's body. The bone-chilling pain made him grin and scream, tremble all over, and shout continuously.

"Ah... you dare to hit me!"

"I am the emperor..."

"Emperor..."

Sima Yuande didn't care, and used his strength to whip him, as if only in this way could he dispel his anger.

His previous calmness was not all pretense. He really didn't value the Sima family that much, and he wouldn't ruin his great plan because of a Sima family.

But...

The key is that he recently accidentally heard Sima Ke talking about calling Chen Yuan his father. This was unbearable. Even if he had been asleep for hundreds of years and his heart was as still as water, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

It was simply betraying his ancestors!

Of course, Sima Yuande still held back, only whipping with the strength of an ordinary person. Otherwise, with his cultivation strength, a finger could crush Sima Ke to death.

"Bang!"

With the last blow, Sima Yuande struck the ground, causing a loud explosion. The whip in his hand directly turned into nothingness, and he coldly looked at Sima Ke curled up on the ground.

"Hiss..."

Sima Ke kept sucking in cold air, his face grim, his wound burning with pain, and his heart was extremely angry. Since he was born, no one had dared to treat him like this!

However, he wasn't completely foolish. He knew that no one had come to rescue him for so long, it must be that the old thing on the Dragon Throne had sealed off the void.

He naturally knew this was a means of a martial arts master.

Now that the situation was stronger than him, he had to bow his head.

"Stand up!"

Sima Yuande snorted coldly. It seemed that if Sima Ke didn't honestly obey, the whip would directly fall on him again, startling him to quickly get up, not caring about the injuries on his body.

"Do you know who I am?"

Sima Yuande said in a condensed voice.

"No... I don't know..."

"Raise your head and take a good look."

Hearing this, Sima Ke dared to move his gaze upward, trembling as he looked at Sima Yuande's appearance, only feeling a bit inexplicably familiar.

"Did you see clearly?"

"No... No..."

"Hmm?"

"You... Are... Are... The founding ancestor..." Sima Ke's memory instantly overlapped, his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

In the ancestral hall, there were portraits of past ancestors, basically all lifelike, and he corresponded to the previous words 'I am your ancestor'.

Immediately...

He discovered it was very similar.

"Humph!"

Sima Yuande snorted coldly, startling Sima Ke's heart to tremble. He hurriedly knelt down on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly:

"Founding Ancestor, forgive me, Founding Ancestor, it's this unworthy grandson..."

"You still know you're unworthy?"

"I... grandson has no choice, that traitor Chen Yuan is powerful, in order to preserve the bloodline of the Sima family, grandson... grandson had to recognize the traitor as his father..."

Sima Ke's face was full of tears.

"Humph." Sima Yuande's face was icy cold. He was silent for a moment, and said:

"With me here, what are you afraid of?"

"I... I..."

Sima Ke's lips trembled, not daring to answer.

"Chen Yuan is just a castle in the air, seemingly gorgeous, but in fact vulnerable. Since I have awakened, I naturally have a way to deal with him, Sima Ke, do you understand?"

"Grandson understands, Grandson understands... Grandson will immediately denounce Chen Yuan's crimes, call on the people of Kyoto to resist him, and fight him to the death."

"No need, since you have already submitted to Chen Yuan and recognized him as your father... then take this opportunity to help me with a favor."

"Grandson will do as Founding Ancestor instructs."

"You are now the emperor of the Great Jin, although you have no real power, you are blessed with the luck of the country, which is useful to this old one. If it is necessary to borrow the luck of the country, you must not hinder it in your heart."

Although Sima Yuande was the founding emperor, he was not the current emperor. If he wanted to borrow the luck of the country to forcefully open the Immortal Gate, he had to have Sima Ke's support, otherwise there would be problems.

This was also the reason why he came to Sima Ke at this time.

According to his observation, the Immortal Realm was about to descend, but the specific time was not yet clear, and others would definitely be able to sense it as well. In order to prevent Chen Yuan from acting in advance.

He had to prepare a backup plan.

He had to have the means to open the Immortal Gate at any time, so that he could be foolproof.

Sima Ke was stunned for a moment, his eyes flickering, a hint of strange meaning flashing in his eyes.

"Hmm?"

"Yes, Grandson understands, Grandson will definitely open his heart and let Founding Ancestor take away the luck of the country and severely defeat Chen Yuan's arrogant arrogance." Sima Ke quickly expressed his position.

"Humph!"

......

......

East Sea, sea area.

Chen Yuan's consciousness sank into nothingness, as if he had entered another realm in an instant. As the light of the Source Heaven Pearl sprinkled down, the surrounding rules of heaven and earth became clearer.

The role of the Source Heaven Pearl was not to allow Chen Yuan to break through the realm in an instant, but to transform the rules of heaven and earth into the simplest and most understandable degree, allowing Chen Yuan to comprehend them more easily.

For example, now, Chen Yuan seemed to be able to feel the surrounding rules gradually appearing, like real objects, which was completely different from the last time he physically comprehended the rules.

After all, he had a foundation in his Primordial Spirit, and he was already in the Semi-Immortal realm. He could already use the power of the rules. Now, it was to completely integrate the rules with the Primordial Spirit, and that was the moment to step into the Sixth Realm.

"Source Heaven Pearl..."

When Chen Yuan was breaking through, Lu Chengfeng was also watching. He naturally discovered what the transparent divine pearl floating above Chen Yuan's head was, and his heart couldn't help but move.

He admired Chen Yuan's powerful luck.

This kind of divine object that was hard to come by was easily obtained by Chen Yuan. No wonder he was so confident in stepping into the Sixth Realm. It turned out that he had this thing to help him... Even he felt very envious of such a treasure.

If a Yang God True Monarch in the Semi-Immortal realm could have this thing, even if the rules of heaven and earth were turbid, the chance of stepping into the Sixth Realm would be very great, and its value would be immeasurable.

While sighing at the Source Heaven Pearl, he also focused some of his attention on the Eastern Emperor Stele not far away. He really didn't recognize this thing, and it felt very strange.

But... this name seemed a bit familiar.

It seemed that he had heard it somewhere.

Where?

Where...

Suddenly, Lu Chengfeng's eyes suddenly froze, and he instantly remembered where he had heard this name. It seemed... that he had heard Chu Taizu say a few words about it a thousand years ago.

At that time, he also seemed to be looking for a stone tablet, saying that it was an ancient inheritance item, which was very important to him, but unfortunately he didn't know, and then it was over.

Could it be that this so-called Eastern Emperor Stele was what Chu Taizu wanted to find?

What is this thing used for...

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, seven days had passed. At this moment, the various Yan armies had already entered Zhongzhou, basically occupying most of the territory, but they did not commit any crimes against the final Shenjing City.

It seemed to be waiting for something...

All the power had been assembled, everything was ready, only Chen Yuan's arrival was needed.

And he, who was comprehending the power of rules, had reached a most critical juncture. The entire island had been transformed into a world of rules, as if it was containing something.

He spent seven days, relying on the assistance of the Source Heaven Pearl, and finally caught up with Xiang Qianqiu's decades of accumulation, and suddenly reached the peak.

And Lu Chengfeng's face was also solemn, staring closely at this scene, not daring to relax in the slightest. As someone who had been through it before, he knew Chen Yuan's situation very well at this time.

He was about to break through!

When the sun hanging high in the sky above the Ninth Heaven reached its most blazing point, Chen Yuan's aura suddenly changed, and the rich power of rules instantly surged towards him.

No, to be precise, it was surging towards Chen Yuan's Primordial Spirit.

Chen Yuan's ten-inch-sized Primordial Spirit was now sitting cross-legged above Chen Yuan's head. The power of the former Source Heaven Pearl had been completely released and disappeared between heaven and earth.

It had been transformed into Chen Yuan's nourishment.

The power of rules was born from heaven and earth. While surging over, it also directly supported Chen Yuan's Primordial Spirit. His Primordial Spirit suddenly began to grow rapidly.

Almost at a speed visible to the naked eye...

At the same time, huge changes also took place between heaven and earth. A Azure Dragon condensed between heaven and earth, a White Tiger roared up to the sky, a fiery red Vermilion Bird spread its wings, and a huge divine beast Xuanwu.

A Qilin covered in flames, and a pure white White Deer, all condensed in the void.

Omens!

Heavenly blessings!

Lu Chengfeng raised his head and looked to the east. He didn't know when, the purple aura coming from the east when Chen Yuan broke through the Sixth Realm of his body in the Nine Dragon Mountains of Nanzhou reappeared.

At a glance, he couldn't see the edge, it was as far as ten thousand miles.

The surrounding heaven and earth energy was trembling along with it, and the rolling wind and clouds were gathering. At this moment, only Chen Yuan existed between heaven and earth, he was the protagonist.

And at this time, Chen Yuan was at the final juncture of the breakthrough, only feeling comfortable all over, letting the power of the rules pour into the Primordial Spirit and merge with it.

Gradually, Chen Yuan's Primordial Spirit had become the same size as Chen Yuan, like a mirror image, sitting cross-legged beside him, with his eyes closed tightly.

The Primordial Spirit Sixth Realm, no different from the physical body, to this step, even if you abandon the physical body, you can freely roam in the world, just like Moro, there is almost no difference.

At every turn, the wind and clouds change color, and the world is turned upside down. Moving mountains, overturning seas, opening the sky, and destroying the world are like immortals. This is the horror of immortals, and why the Sixth Realm is admired by countless people.

It is precisely because it has been washed through various levels, and it is completely different from 'humans', and cannot even be regarded as a species...

The anthropomorphic Primordial Spirit opened its eyes, and at the top of its head, a flower made of rules was formed.

Flower of Rules, a sign of the Sixth Realm!

At this time, Chen Yuan officially stepped into the Sixth Realm!

And this was not the end, it was just the beginning.

Chen Yuan's physical body also opened its eyes, glanced at the Primordial Spirit, their hearts connected, smiled at each other, and seemed to be ready to do something.

The physical body began to roar, and the blood qi trembled along with it. In the inner world, a powerful power of rules instantly surged outward, condensed around the body. At the same time, the flower of rules swayed, and the power of rules in the outer world burst out.

One inside and one outside, two rules, at this time... but they were strangely merging.

Lu Chengfeng clenched his fists under his sleeves, and the expression in his eyes was extremely excited, but he didn't make a sound. After a thousand years, finally... finally...

Another Martial God was about to appear!

Entering the Sixth Realm for the first time, comparable to a terrestrial immortal, internal and external unity, complete and flawless, and completely integrated... This is the horror of the Martial God.

There seemed to be a mysterious connection between the Primordial Spirit and the physical body. The two gradually began to overlap, then merge, and merge into one. The Primordial Spirit returned to the spiritual platform of the physical body.

And the rules of the inner world of the physical body, which had not been completely derived, were gradually merging with the rules of the outside world...

Two completely different forces of rules, without any repulsion, as if it should have been like this, this is the right path of martial arts, the real open road to heaven...

The surrounding ten thousand zhang void was distorted and deformed because of the fusion of the two rules, as if this ten thousand zhang world was directly controlled by him. Endless heaven and earth energy turned into a vortex, directly penetrating down.

When the energy gradually began to dissipate, an earth-shattering aura swept across the human world, soaring straight to the Ninth Heaven. The terrifying power directly crushed the void.

The sea area within dozens of miles instantly set off monstrous waves.

The whole world seemed to be trembling, welcoming the master of heaven and earth.

Chen Yuan opened his eyes, roared to the sky, and the sound and power affected hundreds of miles. Everything on the island was destroyed.

Martial God!

Human Martial God!
