Chapter 671: From Youth in Jia Ma to Emperor Realm Today
The tension on the Dou Qi Continent continued to rise, but Xiao Ze had already emerged from the endless void and arrived at the vast starry expanse. His gaze fell upon a stellar vortex that spanned millions of miles, his eyes filled with anticipation.
The swirling stellar force revolved slowly around the core, radiating countless twinkling lights that were mesmerizing from afar. Yet as he drew closer, Xiao Ze could sense the immense power within, veiled by this beauty. The turbulent stellar energy generated by the vortex was so formidable that even a Dou Saint would tread cautiously.
As he observed the surging power, Xiao Ze's heart brimmed with eagerness. Even a single surge of this stellar energy, given its vast intensity, could obliterate entire empires on the Dou Qi Continent in an instant. This was nature's raw power, accumulated over countless millennia.
Turning into a streak of golden light, Xiao Ze darted into the vortex. Previously, he required the protection of the Origin Tree's roots to shield himself from the torrent of stellar energy. But now, his strength and physique had advanced significantly, allowing him to traverse the vortex unguarded.
As the stellar force struck Xiao Ze, its impact reverberated like deafening thunder. Ignoring the overwhelming pressure, he pressed onward into the depths of the vortex. After a long journey, he stopped before a crystalline structure formed entirely of condensed stellar energy.
Breaking this crystal would grant him access to the vortex's core, where a nebula nurtured the legendary Heart of the Stars. However, instead of proceeding further, Xiao Ze chose to settle on the crystal itself.
With the roots of the Origin Tree, he constructed a stable platform and retrieved the water sphere from the Endless River. Xiao Ze disappeared into the sphere, which rested on the platform, its connection to the outside world secured through the Origin Tree's roots.
Within the tranquil golden light of his spiritual sea, the roots formed a wooden cushion, emitting a soft glow as Xiao Ze sat down to cultivate. He felt the boundless energy coursing through his body and took a deep breath before summoning the sealed Endless River water sphere.
Golden flames surged in his palm as the refining process began. This sphere contained the core energy of the Endless River, enriched with Dou Emperor blood, making the process a delicate task. The Origin Emperor Flame was vital to purifying the energy and eliminating any hidden dangers left by the countless souls consumed by the river.
As the flames refined the sphere, pure energy began to flow out, concentrated within the golden light. This energy was so dense that it naturally absorbed into Xiao Ze's body. With preparations complete, Xiao Ze closed his eyes and silently uttered, "Claim all the accumulated feedback rewards!"
A thunderous sound echoed, followed by an endless influx of energy. The accumulated tenfold feedback rewards, which Xiao Ze had reserved for this pivotal moment, now surged into his body. The gap between the peak of Nine Star Dou Saint and Dou Emperor was vast, requiring extraordinary measures to bridge.
As the energy pushed his Origin Tree higher, each additional meter after 990,000 required an immense amount of power. Even the remaining feedback from the Nine Rank Mystic Pill only raised the tree by a few hundred meters before halting. This final stretch just 10,000 meters was the true divide between a peak Dou Saint and a Dou Emperor.
Fueled by the vast energies from the Endless River and accumulated rewards, Xiao Ze's Origin Tree soared from an additional few hundred meters to over 2,000 in mere days. The torrential energy flowed continuously, its brilliance growing ever more radiant as his body and bloodline underwent profound transformations.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and months later, the Origin Tree neared the one million meter mark. However, the last three meters proved immensely challenging. The energy from the Endless River was entirely exhausted, leaving Xiao Ze momentarily worried.
At that moment, an epiphany struck. The power of the Heart of the Stars, refined within the Nine Rank Golden Pill, granted him the ability to absorb and utilize stellar energy. The surrounding stellar vortex seemed to resonate with this realization as the Origin Tree's roots began to draw in its energy like a bottomless well.
This stellar energy swirled around the roots, forming a smaller vortex of tens of thousands of meters dwarfed only by the millions of miles of the larger vortex. As this energy flowed into the Origin Tree, its height inched closer to the one million meter milestone.
When the tree finally reached this critical height, a tremor rippled through the Origin Space. A sliver of primordial light emerged from the void, descending upon the tree. The necessary source energy for breaking into the Dou Emperor realm was thus effortlessly supplied.
With a deafening roar, the Origin Tree broke through its final barrier, reaching a height of one million meters. Xiao Ze had officially ascended to the Dou Emperor realm.
From the youth who once left the Jia Ma Empire to conquer the world, today, Xiao Ze stands as a Dou Emperor!
