The remaining numerous Grand Luo experts all perished completely in this boundless and endless multiverse void sea.
As time passed, and seeing that no new Grand Luo experts had attempted transcendence for a long time, the many Grand Luo experts from various forces in the Tianyuan Realm knew very well that this wave of transcendence might be coming to an end.
However, a great question lingered in the minds of many powerful cultivators, leaving them unable to understand it for a long time.
"Although it seems that even for us Great Luo Realm experts, transcending is extremely difficult nowadays, and we are often in danger of death and annihilation, the Jade Emperor is different from us!"
"Having witnessed the transcendence of many transcendent beings, the Jade Emperor should be able to transcend easily. Why is there no sign of him? Even his former rivals, the Wind Flame God King and the Demon Emperor, have successfully transcended. What is the Jade Emperor thinking?"
In a corner of the void of the Tianyuan Sacred Realm, a newly promoted Grand Luo expert asked his master about his doubts, which were also the common doubts of many Grand Luo experts in the Tianyuan Sacred Realm at this moment.
However, it was clear that the master of this Grand Luo expert, a top-tier expert even among the many Grand Luo experts in the Tianyuan Sacred Realm, was unable to answer this question, and he himself was quite puzzled.
Just then, the figure of the Netherworld Emperor appeared in the void outside the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm, and at this moment, the boundless phantom of the Six Paths of Reincarnation flickered beneath his feet.
Upon seeing the Netherworld Emperor, the many powerful figures of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm were even more puzzled, completely unaware of why the Netherworld Emperor had appeared here at this moment.
As the only transcendent being recognized in the Tianyuan Sacred Realm, and the undisputed strongest being in the Tianyuan Sacred Realm before the appearance of the Supreme Dao Ancestor, even now, the Netherworld Emperor is vaguely considered the strongest among the transcendent beings who have appeared in the Tianyuan Sacred Realm.
Many powerful figures believe that the actions of such strong individuals often contain profound truths that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Could it be that, seeing the emergence of several new transcendent beings, they came out to demonstrate their power and let the transcendent beings know that there are also differences in strength among transcendent beings?

Chapter 315 The Second Step of Transcendence
Gradually, seeing that the Netherworld Emperor seemed to be in a bad state, the many Grand Luo experts stopped communicating in private, and the atmosphere slowly calmed down.
Since appearing in this void, the Netherworld Emperor has remained motionless, standing quietly in the void.
However, the expression on his face grew increasingly solemn, as if he were facing a formidable enemy. His entire being was on edge, and he had adjusted himself to the best possible state.
The fact that even the Netherworld Emperor was on high alert meant that whatever it was, the many powerful figures of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm had no choice but to take it seriously.
Soon, many powerful figures from the Tianyuan Sacred Realm discovered that after the Netherworld Emperor's figure flickered a few times, he broke through the barrier between the void and the Great Nothingness and entered the Great Nothingness. He continued to delve deeper into the Great Nothingness and soon disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, in the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm, apart from Yuan Hao and a few other supreme beings, only a few transcendent beings could detect the traces of the Netherworld Emperor.
As time slowly passed, amidst the anxious waiting of the Great Luo Immortals of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm, the figure of the Netherworld Emperor reappeared before their eyes.
However, the Netherworld Emperor was in a very bad state at this moment. His aura had weakened to the extreme, and even the vast Six Paths Reincarnation Disc under his feet had shrunk to a few feet in size, barely enough to support the figure of the Netherworld Emperor.
But at this moment, in stark contrast to that extremely weak aura, the Netherworld Emperor's eyes shone with an unprecedented brilliance, so dazzling that many powerful figures in the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm dared not look directly at him, captivating their souls.
Just then, without the notice of the many powerful figures in the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm, the figure of the Jade Emperor appeared not far from the Netherworld Emperor, and it seemed that he had been waiting in the same spot for a while.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! You have successfully taken the second step and overcome the second tribulation on the path to transcendence. You are now going further and further on the path to transcendence."
The Netherworld Emperor nodded slightly to the Jade Emperor, and then, after blocking out the many powerful figures of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm, the two exchanged a few words. Even the transcendent beings did not know what the two of them were talking about.
Afterwards, the Netherworld Emperor returned to the Underworld and entered the deepest level of seclusion.
The reason the Netherworld Emperor is going into seclusion this time is twofold: first, to properly organize his gains and insights, and second, to solidify his Dao, so that he can more quickly stabilize his current new realm and lay a more solid foundation for his future path.
Secondly, it is necessary to properly recuperate on the injuries sustained during the second ordeal on the path to transcendence.
Even someone as powerful as the Netherworld Emperor, with the entire Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm as his support, still inevitably suffered severe injuries after taking the second step of transcendence.
Fortunately, the Netherworld Emperor was incredibly powerful, and with the entire Netherworld as his backing, he was even able to mobilize the entire Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm's essence to empower himself.
Although the injuries were severe, there was no need to rely on a long slumber to slowly heal them. It was enough to simply draw upon a portion of the Netherworld's essence to nourish the body, though it would take some time.
As the words of the Jade Emperor fell, the many powerful figures of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm realized that the Netherworld Emperor had just gone to undergo the second tribulation of transcendence.
It now appears that the Netherworld Emperor has succeeded, becoming a supreme being who has taken the second step on the path of transcendence, standing alone in the entire Tianyuan Sacred Realm.
However, it was only soon that many powerful figures in the Tianyuan Sacred Realm realized that even several transcendent beings had failed to detect what the Netherworld Emperor was doing at the first moment.
But how did the Jade Emperor know this? Even though the Jade Emperor was incredibly powerful, arguably the strongest among the Great Luo Immortals, he was still just a mere Great Luo Immortal, and could never compare to a transcendent being.
Before the doubts of the many powerful figures could be answered, the Jade Emperor made his move. He quickly broke through the boundless void and made contact with the barrier of the Great Nothingness.
Upon witnessing this scene, many powerful figures in the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm subconsciously assumed that the Jade Emperor was finally about to attempt transcendence.
They stared intently at the Jade Emperor, trying to see his every move, and even the doubts that had just crossed their minds were temporarily suppressed.
At present, it is more important to witness firsthand the transcendence of a once invincible figure among the many Great Luo Immortals of the Tianyuan World.
Having at least witnessed the transcendence of the Supreme God, their understanding of the path to transcendence has deepened, and their verification of their own spiritual journey has become more complete.
Although many powerful figures have gained a deep understanding of the path of transcendence after witnessing numerous successful and unsuccessful attempts, their accumulation of knowledge about transcendence is never superfluous.
However, something happened soon that shocked many of the powerful Grand Luo cultivators and even a few newly promoted Transcendent beings.
The Jade Emperor directly entered the boundless void, without undergoing any transcendence process. Or rather, the Jade Emperor's transcendence was completed effortlessly in less than a moment.
Soon, many powerful cultivators and several transcendent beings shook their heads, putting the idea out of their minds.
They were both Great Luo Immortals, both transcendent beings. They believed that even if they were not as good as the Jade Emperor, they wouldn't be far behind. The gap between them couldn't be that ridiculously large.
Even powerful figures like the Wind Flame God King and the Demon Emperor Taiyi, though their path to transcendence was smooth and without much difficulty, still followed all the necessary procedures and did not disregard the tribulations on the path to transcendence as easily as the Jade Emperor did.
Or rather, it's not that they were ignored; it seems that the Jade Emperor himself had never escaped the tribulation of the first calamity.
After ruling out that possibility, only another possibility remains: that the Jade Emperor has already quietly transcended the world at some unknown time.
Even earlier, before the World Tree of the Elves, the Jade Emperor was already a great transcendent being.
