Chapter 5133: The Emperors’ Strength

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

His path to the Great Dao was smooth sailing. Although he was only the controller of a medium-grade world, his strength was not weaker than those Rulers. Thus, their Great Dream Realm had some reputation in the inner slope of the original universe. Because of his unyielding personality, his prestige in the surrounding areas was very high.

The experts of the Great Dream Realm roamed the other realms. They relied on his reputation to do well, but they also lost their respect for him.

It was respect one had for the Emperor and the universe.

However, in the end, he could not be blamed on those disciples. The Great Dream Realm had only produced an Emperor like him for countless years. His rise was also smooth sailing. He came from a famous sect and grew from a prodigy to an Imperial Prince.

In the end, he became an Emperor in one fell swoop. Furthermore, he was an emperor who had grasped an extremely powerful Great Dao.

In his heart, his sect and his master’s legacy had always been paramount, and he had faithfully guarded the Great Dream Realm.

But now, it seemed that his method of guardianship had been overly indulgent, leading to the younger generation of prodigies becoming arrogant “Little Fellows, do you know that there are strong and weak Emperors?”

Everyone nodded eagerly. “Of course, we know!”

“Very well, since you know, do you understand where my strength stands among the Emperors?”

This time, their heads nodded even faster. “Dao Ancestor, you are undoubtedly one of the top Emperors!”

“Why even ask? Our Dao Ancestor is the Emperor who commands respect across countless realms.”

Many took the opportunity to flatter him, while others genuinely admired him, believing that the Dao Ancestor was the strongest of all Emperors.

Suppressing a smile, the Great Dream Dao Ancestor raised his hand to signal, “Alright, as we continue our journey, I will explain how Emperor strength is categorized.”

Watching these third and even fourth-generation disciples, the Great Dream Dao Ancestor began by discussing the various forces participating in the upcoming Qishen Temple expedition.

The lowest requirement for this fight was a Perfected Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortal. Ordinary Emperors, and even Emperors who had taken the first step, would not be able to cause any trouble. The true experts who knew the secrets of the Qishen Temple were the Rulers.

Emperor power was also subdivided into strict tiers.

In general, it could be broken down into six levels.

The most common type of Emperor, someone who had just grasped the Emperor’s Dao, and whose path was very ordinary, could only control Emperors of the lower realms, making them first-tier Emperors.

Second-tier strength was possessed by those Emperors who controlled the lower-grade worlds, taking a step further but not experiencing a significant change in power.

Emperors who had control over the middle-grade Daos and established their own Daoist Arenas in the middle-grade worlds were also considered second-tier in terms of strength.

Normal Masters of the middle-grade worlds, who established their Dao Arenas and controlled the middle- grade worlds themselves, were considered third-tier in power.

Emperors like the Infinite Buddha in the Heaven-Reaching Buddhist Realm were considered Emperors of this level, representing the peak strength of most Emperors.

Most Emperors only had mastery over a single Minor Dao, and even becoming a Dao Ancestor of a lower-grade world was an incredibly difficult feat for them. Achieving third-tier status was their lifelong dream.

The 18 divine generals within the Qishen Temple were currently third-tier in power. Their Great Devouring Dao was the Ultimate Dao, and it was on the level of the Universe Masters. Although they hadn’t completely mastered it, the strength of the Ultimate Dao of the universe was incredibly formidable. As long as they could comprehend three layers, they would possess third-tier power. Once they fully mastered it, they would become Universe Masters, capable of dominating the entire primordial cosmos, even if they only understood half of it.

As for fourth-tier power, one would need mastery over the Great Daos of higher-grade Worlds. Ruler Bei Shan of the Ancient God Clan and the Rulers of other high-grade worlds all belonged to this level. They ruled over high-grade worlds and were omnipotent. Dealing with ordinary Emperors was as easy as crushing ants for them.

Emperors with this level of power could roam freely within a universe, with no one posing a threat to them. Each of them was a dominant force, ruling over heaven and earth.

If the third-tier represented the strong among Emperors, then the fourth-tier represented the strong within the universe.

Apart from the Masters of high-grade worlds, some Emperors could also reach this level.

Zhen Wuyang of the Great Si Region and the Lord Buddha of the Heaven-Reaching Buddhist Realm were two such individuals.

Although they only controlled medium-grade worlds, their Dao was incredibly potent. If it weren’t for the fact that the higher-grade worlds within the original universe were already controlled, they could completely dominate them.

Their Dao could even rival the Ultimate Dao, and with further progress, they could elevate their Dao domains to higher-grade worlds. At that point, they could advance even further.

On the other hand, those who ruled the higher-grade worlds, like Ruler Bei Shan, often only grasped the Great Dao and remained stuck there for their entire lives.

Zhen Wuyang was different; he possessed the True Martial Dao, which was a complete top-tier Dao. With further advancement, he could open up higher-grade worlds and significantly increase his strength, with the potential to break through to the fifth-tier in power.

However, the difficulty was also terrifying, and in the original universe, only a

few individuals could achieve this.

These few fifth-tier experts had long since traveled to other universes because at their level, advancing further was exceedingly challenging.

The ceiling of strength in the original universe was considered to be at the fifth-tier. Currently, in the original universe, only the Ancestor of the Ancient God Clan remained at this level; all other fifth-rank experts had left.

If they knew that the Qishan Temple held a path to the Universe Masters, these top-tier fifth-rank experts would probably regret their decisions.

However, with their strength, it was relatively simple for them to return if they weren’t in some dangerous Secret Realm. They would just lose their priority.

The Grand Dream Dao Ancestor explained the classification of Emperors’ strength to these newly initiated disciples, making them realize that there was always someone stronger.

“Dao Ancestor, which rank are you at?”

“The third-tier!”

The disciples fell into silence.

The Dao Ancestor they had always revered only possessed the strength of a third-tier Emperor. Meanwhile, many Emperors heading to the Qishan Temple were fourth-tier masters, and some fifth-tier experts had come from other universes.

These Perfected Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortal were nothing more than cannon fodder. Originally, they had thought they could rely on the Dao Ancestor to navigate through troubled waters and resolve any dangers. But now, it seemed that even the Dao Ancestor was at risk of falling, let alone them.

Many of them had never experienced life-or-death adventures, and some of them were having second thoughts.

This generation of Emperors was at least much stronger than the previous old-timers.

The Grand Dream Dao Ancestor also understood the thoughts of these disciples but chose not to discourage them.

However, when he turned his head, a hint of a smile appeared on his lips.

No one knew his true strength, not even the other Emperors within the clan, was aware of his true power..
