Chapter 217: Sun God Emperor
"Chii..."
A flame longsword pierced the defense of the Thunder Prison Robe and plunged into the chest of the thunder projection.
Following that, golden light erupted from the thunder projection's chest, and fierce flames billowed from its entire body, incinerating the projection within a few breaths.
After a full three days, Roy had finally succeeded in defeating his thunder projection.
The instant Roy defeated his thunder projection, a beam of white light descended from the thunder palace in the sky, and Roy's soul instantly connected with the "Heavenly Dao" of the starry sky world.
At this moment, Roy felt as if a canvas had appeared before him, and all he had to do was imprint the laws he had comprehended onto this canvas.
As Roy imprinted the laws he had comprehended into the Heavenly Dao, these insights converged into the character "Fire" on the Heavenly Dao's scroll.
Then, this "Fire" character flew out of the Heavenly Dao and merged into Roy's soul.
"This is... Willpower?"
Roy was stunned when he felt the familiar power that had appeared in his soul.
Simultaneously, a piece of information entered Roy's mind.
The power Roy perceived as willpower was known as the "Dao Fruit" in the Starry Sky Universe.
In the Starry Sky Universe, those who successfully achieved the Dao could be called "Emperors."
Furthermore, creators of new daos would receive a "Dao Fruit" bestowed by heaven and earth.
Of course, this "Dao Fruit" did not belong to you forever.
Each new dao achiever could possess the "Dao Fruit" for ten thousand years. If they could further evolve their laws within these ten thousand years, the "Dao Fruit" could be retained for another ten thousand years.
If they failed to advance their laws within ten thousand years, the "Dao Fruit" would be reclaimed by the Heavenly Dao.
The laws used by those who achieved the Dao, amplified by the "Dao Fruit," were a hundred times stronger than those used by ordinary Emperors, and were known as "Emperor Dao Laws." Only after the Dao Fruit was reclaimed by the Heavenly Dao would the laws of the achiever revert to ordinary laws.
Those who followed the laws of predecessors to achieve the Dao did not enjoy the "Dao Fruit."
Unless the successor's achievements surpassed the creator and they completed the evolution of the laws, they could obtain the "Dao Fruit."
For example, if an Emperor who pioneered the path of "Water" achieved the Dao, they would possess the "Water Dao Fruit."
However, if within these ten thousand years, someone gained a deeper understanding of the "Water" path than the creator and completed the evolution of the Water laws before the creator, the creator's "Water Dao Fruit" would be confiscated and become the successor's Dao Fruit.
This was "contending for the Dao"!
At the same time, from this information, Roy also learned about the lifespan settings for living beings by the "Heavenly Dao" formed from his other soul fragment.
Ordinary humans, living peacefully without illness or disaster, could live up to eighty years.
Level one warriors, lifespan of one hundred and twenty years.
Level four warriors, lifespan of one hundred and fifty years.
Level seven warriors, lifespan of three hundred years.
Saint Realm, lifespan of one thousand five hundred years.
Emperor level, lifespan of twelve thousand years, with strength equivalent to ordinary Demigods in the Magic Universe. Creators with Dao Fruits had a hundredfold increase in strength, comparable to ordinary High-level Gods.
Ancient Emperors who had evolved their laws once had a lifespan of twenty-two thousand years and were at the God stage. With the Dao Fruit amplification, they were equivalent to Four-star Devils.
Those who had evolved their laws twice could be called "Emperors," with a lifespan of fifty thousand years and strength equivalent to High-level Gods. At their peak, they could rival the Asura Prefect in the Magic Universe.
With the amplification of the Dao Fruit, their peak strength could rival those with Paragon.
Those who evolved their laws three times were called "Heavenly Emperors," with a lifespan of one hundred thousand years. In addition to the Dao Fruit bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, they also developed their own "Dao Fruit." With the superposition of the two Dao Fruits, "Emperor Dao Laws" transformed into "Imperial Dao Laws," and their strength rivaled that of Sovereign.
Above Heavenly Emperors were "Immortals," who had advanced their laws to the supreme Immortal Dao Laws and could live for a hundred million years.
Above Immortals were Immortal Kings, with lifespans of billions of years.
After Immortal Kings came Immortal Emperors, with lifespans of one Yijanji, which is sixty trillion years.
The lifespan of fierce beasts was five times that of humans of the same level.
Of course, the ultimate lifespan limit was the same, one Yijanji.
To obtain a longer life, one could only achieve it by breaking through the Immortal Emperor realm and becoming a being above Immortal Emperors.
Otherwise, no matter how brilliant one was, after one Yijanji, they would turn to dust.
This made Roy feel that methods like consuming population through faction wars, as seen in the Hong Meng Universe and Lin Meng Universe, were not feasible. While the masses died off in waves, the peak individuals remained unchanged, making the world stagnant and lacking in change.
Limited lifespans, combined with strong power, allowed for long life, which was normal, but there were still lifespan limits. This way, the world could be like a living spring, full of vitality and variables.
The cycle of yin and yang, the waxing and waning of the moon, the cycle of life and death – this was the essence of a perfect world.
Additionally, those who reached the Heavenly Emperor level would receive a Dao Fruit bestowed by heaven and earth. Even if the Heavenly Dao reclaimed its Dao Fruit over time, their own Dao Fruit would remain unaffected. Their "Imperial Dao Laws" would revert to "Emperor Dao Laws," and their strength would be inferior to Heavenly Emperors, but still a hundred times stronger than Emperors. They could be called "Quasi Heavenly Emperors."
The fire laws Roy had comprehended had already undergone one evolution during his tribulation. Roy's current strength was at the peak of the Ancient Emperor level.
As Roy successfully achieved the Dao, the oppressive aura that had filled the world dissipated. However, the thick dark clouds, drawn by the heavenly tribulation, had yet to disperse.
Standing high in the sky, Roy did not immediately return to Taoyuan Village. Instead, he turned his gaze to the distance.
There, three giant beasts, each over three thousand meters in size, were exuding powerful malice.
One was a Nine-tailed Fox with red fur.
One was a Six-eyed Demonic Ape with blue fur.
The last one was an Azure Flame Falcon, its wings spread like curtains hanging from the sky.
In their eyes, Roy was the most delicious tonic. If they ate Roy, their strength would definitely break through significantly.
"Roar..."
Finally, the Six-eyed Demonic Ape couldn't stand the temptation and was the first to attack Roy.
"Boom!"
The Six-eyed Demonic Ape punched the ground, and a powerful wave instantly spread along the ground towards Roy. In an instant, it reached the ground where Roy was. A powerful lava surged upwards from underground like a volcanic eruption, attacking Roy.
This strength was no weaker than when Roy achieved his Dao. Perhaps it was precisely because they felt their strength was not inferior to Roy's that these three ferocious beasts waited for Roy to finish his tribulation before hunting him. The previous nine ferocious beasts, which were a thousand meters in size, had left because they felt they didn't have enough strength to hunt Roy.
Seeing the Six-eyed Demonic Ape make a move, the Nine-tailed Fox and the Azure Flame Falcon were not idle. With a few leaps, the Nine-tailed Fox dashed on the ground at a speed no slower than the Six-eyed Demonic Ape's lava. If Roy was hit by the Six-eyed Demonic Ape's lava, it would be attacked by the Nine-tailed Fox. The Azure Flame Falcon also spread its wings, its eyes glowing with blue light, and drew an arc in the sky, blocking Roy's escape route.
"Heh..."
"Just a few ferocious beasts, yet they dare to attack the Human Emperor!"
If Roy had failed his Dao and hadn't used the Space-Time Power cheat, he might actually have been hunted by these three ferocious beasts. But unfortunately, Roy had already succeeded in achieving his Dao, and what he achieved was the strongest "Emperor Dao Law" in ten thousand years! Coupled with the fact that his law had undergone a transformation during the heavenly tribulation, Roy's current strength was a thousand times that of an ordinary Emperor level expert! This strength was already comparable to an ordinary Emperor level, and it was even one step further than an Emperor level expert.
"Rumble..."
The raging lava was shattered by Roy's stomp. A wisp of golden fire gathered into a golden point at Roy's fingertips, and then Roy shot it out.
"Boom!"
The golden beam hit the Six-eyed Demonic Ape, directly blowing apart its upper body, leaving only its upper half, which was over a thousand meters tall, to stand before it fell forward, crushing several mountain peaks. Then, Roy pressed down with his right hand, and a giant fiery hand swooped down from the sky, directly crushing the Nine-tailed Fox into a meat patty. All of this happened in an instant.
Seeing this, the Azure Flame Falcon was terrified and hastily changed direction halfway to Roy. Unfortunately, its speed was not worth mentioning in front of Roy. A long rainbow passed through the Azure Flame Falcon's body, and its chest exploded, creating a gaping hole dozens of meters wide. Amidst its shrill screams, blood rained down from the sky. In the end, the Azure Flame Falcon stumbled into a mountain range, its fate unknown.
After killing the three strongest ferocious beasts on the planet, Roy extended his Spiritual Sense to the entire planet. Instantly, all living beings on the planet appeared in his Spiritual Sense. Raising his right index finger high, endless firelight gathered above Roy's head. Soon, all living beings on the ground discovered that a second "sun" seemed to have appeared in the sky.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
The next moment, the newly appeared "sun" transformed into streaks of fiery beams that rained down like raindrops. All the ferocious beasts that were hunting humans were instantly killed by these fiery beams. At the same time, Roy's voice echoed in the hearts of all living beings on the planet.
"I am Roy of the human race. I have now achieved the Dao and become an Emperor. From now on, all humans are my people and shall be protected by me. Within a hundred years, if any ferocious beast dares to attack humanity, I will annihilate its entire clan!"
...
"Is this... is this real?"
On the planet where Roy was located, there were at least two thousand scattered human villages. When Roy spoke, hundreds of villages were being attacked by ferocious beasts. Those humans who had been arranged to hide in caves might still have doubts. But those old people who were attracting the attention of the ferocious beasts and the men in the hunting parties had all personally witnessed the sun in the sky transform into countless beams that killed the ferocious beasts. These beams also seemed to distinguish between humans and beasts. Those that hit ferocious beasts caused them to explode and die. Those that hit humans turned into gentle streams of power, healing their injuries.
"It's real, it's real!"
"A strong person has been born among us humans!"
"Not just a strong person, but an Emperor. Didn't you hear what that lord just said? He has achieved the Dao and become an Emperor, the Sun Emperor, the Sun God Emperor..."
The person who called Roy the "Sun God Emperor" was someone who had personally seen the second sun appear in the sky and transform into countless beams that killed the ferocious beasts.
Thus, before Roy had even established his dynasty to unify the human race, people were already calling him the "Sun God Emperor."
...
"Teacher, it's Teacher!"
"It's Lord Roy, Lord Roy has achieved the Dao and become an Emperor!"
When the people in Taoyuan Village heard Roy's voice, their cheers shook the heavens.
Three days prior, the fear that had risen in the hearts of the Taoyuan villagers when they saw the thousand-meter-long giant bird beast fly overhead had instantly vanished.
No matter how they looked at it, the second sun in the sky was far more powerful than the giant bird.
They didn't understand what it meant to "achieve the Dao and become an Emperor," but they knew that Roy, the stabilizing pillar of Taoyuan, had become even stronger.
Previously, Lord Roy only protected Taoyuan, but now, Lord Roy had declared that all humans were under his protection. This was a blessing for all humanity!
