Coiling Dragon: I Transcend with Earth Element

The chapter number was incorrect last chapter, but I don't have the permissions to fix it. My apologies, everyone.

Lilia's soul exited the Netherworld, and she opened her eyes.

In the sky, the dark clouds had yet to disperse.

Within the palace constructed from lightning, seventeen lightning figures were lined up.

In the towering palace, a figure sat on the highest throne, with eight figures arranged on either side of them.

At this moment, the lightning palace remained. Clearly, Lilia, who had successfully Proved the Dao, would not be satisfied with her ranking in the Heavenly Dao being last.

Thus, Lilia resolutely initiated the ranking battle.

In an instant, the sixteen Emperors who had successfully Proved the Dao and whose projections were left in the Heavenly Dao's lightning palace all sensed it.

Through the connection between their Dao Fruits, they shared their vision with their projections within the lightning palace.

The first to emerge from the lightning palace was the projection of Palhouse, the creator of the Water Element.

Each projection retained by the Heavenly Dao was the peak state they exhibited when they Proved the Dao.

Palhouse was the first to Prove the Dao after Roy, but his attempt was too hasty. As a result, the creators who Proved the Dao after Palhouse had all defeated his projection, ranking above him.

Of course, this didn't mean their current strength was truly greater than Palhouse's.

It only meant that their strength when they Proved the Dao was slightly greater than Palhouse's strength when he Proved the Dao.

Furthermore, the projections the Heavenly Dao kept in the palace were inherently weaker than their original bodies.

"Boom!"

Although it was a projection made of lightning, it did not prevent Palhouse's projection from using his Emperor Dao Law.

Endless Water Element condensed in Palhouse's projection's hand, forming a long spear. Palhouse's projection then wielded the spear, stirring up the dark clouds in the sky and charging towards Lilia like a ten-thousand-meter tsunami.

Facing this colossal tsunami, Lilia opened her right hand.

Purple water gathered in Lilia's palm, transforming into a purple whip.

This purple water was precisely the Nether Sea water, which Lilia had connected with the power of life and death. It was capable of cleansing soul memories and karma within the Netherworld.

With a casual swing, a purple whip-shadow flashed. The ten-thousand-meter tsunami surrounding Palhouse's projection, without any ability to resist, was directly whipped apart.

Even Palhouse's projection and the spear in its hand were split in two by the whip.

"Boom!"

Palhouse's projection attempted to charge into the thunderclouds to absorb lightning power and recover. However, after flying less than a hundred meters, it was instantly exploded by two whip-shadows, scattering into streaks of lightning.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..."

Palhouse outside the palace was dispersed. A large amount of lightning power gathered in the lightning palace, re-condensing Palhouse's projection.

However, the Palhouse projection that formed this time did not continue to fight outside the palace. Instead, it retreated one seat.

Clearly, Palhouse had lost the Emperor ranking battle.

"So strong!"

The Emperor Dao powerhouses, who witnessed all of this through the gaze of their projections, were instantly shocked.

All of them had challenged the Emperor Dao ranking battle after successfully Proving the Dao.

As the first to Prove the Dao after Lord Roy, Palhouse had been challenged by all subsequent Provers. If even one of them had given up the challenge, Palhouse's ranking in the Heavenly Tribulation Palace would not have been last.

It was precisely because they had challenged him that they knew how strong Palhouse's projection was.

But this Palhouse projection, which had once made them struggle, couldn't even withstand two whips from the Death Sovereign...

How powerful was this Death Sovereign?

As expected, the subsequent Light Element Emperor Clement, Lightning Element Emperor Ninisha, Death Emperor Dannington, Fate Emperor Magnus, Earth Emperor Leilin, and Wind Element Emperor Theresia did not last more than two whips from Lilia.

The next to appear was Us, the White Tiger Sovereign, one of the former Four Divine Beast Lord Gods.

At this point, all seventeen Emperors focused most of their mental energy on the upcoming battle.

As fellow Provers, they all understood the difficulty of creating a new Dao.

The first eight Emperors, to put it nicely, were creators of the Starry Sky Universe, having established new Daos within it.

To put it bluntly, they were all living off the successes of the Magic Universe, merely transforming the laws they were most proficient in within the Magic Universe into laws for the Starry Sky Universe.

The latter eight, however, had leaped to new laws based on the laws they were proficient in.

Although not comparable to Lilia's Law of Reincarnation, which fused three elemental laws, they were still a notch stronger than a single law.

It could be said that there was no basis for comparison between the first eight Emperors and the latter eight Emperors who Proved the Dao.

The Dao established by Us, the White Tiger Sovereign, was the law of "Beast."

Tigers were already the kings of all beasts, let alone the Divine Beast among tigers – the White Tiger?

Us's law of "Beast" was a powerful law created by observing countless ferocious beasts and integrating all their strengths.

"Roar!"

As Us's projection stepped out of the Heavenly Tribulation Palace, it let out a furious roar, and a phantom image of a ten-thousand-meter-tall Beast King appeared behind Us.

As Us moved, the phantom Beast King behind him mirrored the action, creating shockwaves in the air. It charged towards Lilia with unparalleled might.

"Crack!"

Facing Us's terrifying attack, Lilia's expression remained unchanged. She swung the purple whip, formed from the Nether Sea, like a dragon emerging from the sea, striking towards Us.

"Boom!"

The purple whip collided with the phantom Beast King's attack, erupting in a deafening roar. The dark clouds in the sky were completely scattered by the shockwaves from their battle.

The sky for ten thousand miles was wiped clean.

"Roar!"

The phantom Beast King behind Us let out a furious howl, its thousands of meters long forelimbs blasted into countless bolts of lightning.

However, this only fueled the ferocity of the Beast King behind Us. It opened its massive maw, devouring a large amount of lightning from the heavenly tribulation. These lightning bolts then quickly surged from the Beast King's forelimbs, forming new ones.

"Roar!"

With its body restored, Us's projection also knew that the Beast King, formed from his "Beast" law, was several times stronger than a true Beast King. But in the face of absolute strength, it was no match for Lilia.

Therefore, Us stopped using the phantom Beast King to clash head-on with Lilia.

Instead, Us let out a roar, and the phantom Beast King outside his body began to condense and shrink. Finally, between Us's hands, a luminous sphere emitting white light formed.

"Beast King's Roar!"

As Us roared, the white sphere between his hands transformed into an incomparably powerful destructive beam, blasting towards Lilia.

"Boom!"

As the destructive beam approached, its power had yet to arrive, but the immense pressure and storm had already destroyed the mountains around Lilia.

When had the living beings on this planet ever witnessed such a scene of destruction?

Had some otherworldly divine being decided to destroy this world?

"Hmph!"

Lilia snorted coldly.

In the past, she would have directly charged forward and killed Us.

But now, Lilia's "humanity" was stronger than her "divinity." The safety of the villagers was far more important to Lilia than defeating Us's projection.

At this, Lilia waved her hands, and the boundless Power of Reincarnation transformed into a purple barrier, shielding Changxi Village.

Just as Lilia finished setting up the defensive barrier, Us's destructive beam arrived.

A massive mushroom cloud rose, and endless flames and shockwaves spread, obliterating everything around them.

A few seconds later, the deafening roar finally traveled far away.

In this single strike, at least one percent of the planet's territory was completely destroyed.

The number of creatures that died was in the hundreds of millions.

It was fortunate that Lilia had created the Law of Reincarnation, allowing Roy to use it to open up the projected world of the Starry Sky Universe, also known as the "Netherworld," making the Starry Sky Universe more complete.

The souls of these beings affected by the battle were reborn in the Netherworld.

As for the humans and fierce beasts far from where Lilia was undergoing her tribulation, they were all terrified.

Was this truly the world they lived in?

Why had their ancestors not passed down such memories in their bloodline over the past millions of years?

The horror of this battle had far exceeded their imagination.

One by one, these fierce beasts quickly recorded what they had witnessed today into their bloodline, passing it down to ensure that their descendants would stay far away from such existences.

When the aftershocks of the explosion subsided, except for Changxi Village, which was protected by Lilia's Power of Reincarnation, the surrounding hundred miles had turned into ravines several hundred meters deep.

Only the location of Changxi Village had become a "celestial pillar."

Lilia scanned with her spiritual sense and felt a slight relief.

Although the people in Changxi Village were so frightened that they lost their wits and were terrified by the terrifying attack, not a single person had died.

...

In the further reaches of space, the energy unleashed by Lilia's Emperor Dao ranking battle also attracted the attention of a powerful existence.

Her eyes opened slightly, and in the darkness of space, it was as if two giant suns had appeared, illuminating the starry sky around this powerful existence.

With the light in its pupils, one could vaguely discern the form of this powerful existence.

The surrounding planets were less than a single scale of this great being.

A Starry Sky Beast!

And it was a terrifying Starry Sky Beast King that fed on the sun, moon, and stars, capable of destroying the heavens and earth with a single move.

Fortunately, this Starry Sky Beast King only glanced in Lilia's direction, identified her aura, and then ceased its movement, closing its eyes.

Roy nodded slightly at the Starry Sky Beast King's discretion.

In the Starry Sky Universe, only humans were the race that Roy placed his high hopes on.

The other fierce beasts were merely tools to force out more potential from humans.
