With a roar, two figures shot out from the shattered firmament, charging towards a corner of the ancient star road with immense power!
"Immortal!"
"Star!"
Bai Qi gripped his long sword, looking at the two figures standing at the zenith of the sky, Emperor Xingchen and Emperor Buxian. These two Ancestor Emperors, known as the pillars of the Creation Era, had suppressed an epoch. Had Ancestor Huang Yuan not touched the Source Tower in the depths of the ancient star road later, perhaps these two would have forged an eternal and immortal era. Perhaps the realm of transcendence would have been proven by their hands, without need for the Source Tower!
"Hum~~"
The long sword vibrated in his hand, an aura of gray slaughter that made Emperor Xingchen and Emperor Buxian's expressions grave. The murderous aura was so terrifying, like the dark side of heaven and earth. Bai Qi held his sword, as if he had conjured a world of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, with surging blood-red essence threatening to seep out and drip from the sword.
"Human race!"
Emperor Xingchen's expression shifted. With a step, the entire world turned a tender green. The light from her raised hand crushed everything in the world, boundless green filling all directions, brimming with vitality.
"Battle!"
Emperor Buxian attacked. With a boom, the world was filled with an aura that could remain unchanged for eternity. That trace of aura was called immortality. In that instant, an immortal sword was grasped in his hand, as if nothing in the world could shake the brilliance in his grasp.
"Immortality? What is immortality! Under the edge of my sword, only the rivers and mountains of the Great Han shall be immortal!"
Bai Qi roared, his long sword flipping, unleashing boundless killing intent. This was his first sword since his emergence, its edge shaking the entire ancient star road. The immortal elders and Nether elders guarding the outside of Ancestor Huang Yuan's retreat simultaneously felt a tightening in their chests, sensing an ominous aura descending from the void.
"Kill!"
Emperor Xingchen roared, Emperor Buxian bellowed. The two giants slashed horizontally for hundreds of thousands of miles. Boundless stars fell, and myriad lights burst in the void. Their every move was a display of eternal and immortal light.
Boom!
A thunderous roar echoed between heaven and earth. A terrifying sword energy went all the way down, shattering myriad tender green lights and cleaving through the aura of eternal immortality. Under the impact of this terrifying sword energy, half of the ancient star road directly collapsed. The remaining half trembled, as if it would shatter completely in the next moment!
Ancestor Huang watched everything before him, terrified. It was simply indescribable. The sword light was so dazzling, as if it had existed since the Immortal Realm was born. Because of this sword, immortality! Life and death! Only then had meaning!
In a flash of lightning, Ancestor Huang Yuan, who was still struggling to control the Source Tower, suddenly moved his eyes. A faint light emanated from the Source Tower, spreading across the entire ancient star road. The half-shattered territory gradually reformed.
The radiance of Bai Qi's sword still shone, its terrifying light engulfing everything. Even as the shattered territory reformed, it remained within the ravage of the sword energy.
The power of this sword made Emperor Xingchen and Emperor Buxian's expressions change. They could not ignore the killing intent of this sword energy; no matter how powerful their forces, they could not stop the slaughter of this sword!
The murderous aura covering the long sword was so pure, as if after being annihilated by this sword, it would cease to exist in the world forever!
"Kill!"
"Not a single one can be left!"
"Annihilate!"
"Annihilate with full force!"
Ancestor Huang, holding the Chaos Immortal Palace, roared. With his cry, the eleven great giants exerted their full strength, each unleashing all their power to grind down the heroes of the Great Han.
...
In the Great Han's Chang'an City, within the Imperial Palace's study.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the hero summoning opportunity has been refreshed!"
"Ding! This summoning allows for two hero summons!"
"Summon!"
In the study, Yang Hao had his eyes closed, sensing the changes within his body, experiencing what it meant to be at the Half-step Transcendence. At this moment, the system's voice sounded, and a faint smile appeared on Yang Hao's lips.
"Ding! Commencing the summoning of ancient heroes!"
"Hum~~"
In the depths of his soul sea, the Reincarnation Xuanhuang Tower erupted with boundless light, illuminating Yang Hao's entire soul sea. Unintentionally, one could see that within the entire soul sea, two massive sand tables had appeared. One was the Immortal Realm, and the other was the ancient star road. Between these two, the light of the Reincarnation Xuanhuang Tower shone upon these four directions!
The ninth level of the Reincarnation Xuanhuang Tower!
Above the surging silver river, fifteen hero statues were now displaying eight statues glowing with golden light, resplendent! Only seven peerless heroes remained unmanifested, and this time, two more peerless heroes would descend!
As the hero summoning opportunity was deducted, countless golden lights appeared above the silver river. Golden streams of light streaked across the silver river. At this moment, one statue vibrated, drawing myriad golden lights from the boundless silver river!
Under that golden radiance, the hero was not tall, less than seven feet, thin and withered, holding a long halberd in his hand. He stood amidst the army, inconspicuous.
At this moment, on the fourth level of the Reincarnation Xuanhuang Tower, a historical river surged open. From the golden hero statue, a figure emerged, flashing and rushing into the fourth level of the Reincarnation Xuanhuang Tower.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully summoning the peerless general from the river of history – the King of Generals – Li Cunxiao!!"
Li Cunxiao!
The Flying Tiger General!
The Thirteen Protectors!
An invincible existence in historical legends!
Even in official history, Li Cunxiao was an undefeated and victorious general!
Cunxiao's bravery was enough to lead the entire army and command tens of thousands!
He was a hero on par with Xiang Yu, Li Yuanba, and Jin Tai, known as "No king surpasses Xiang, no strength surpasses Ba, no general surpasses Li, no fist surpasses Jin!"
"View detailed information of the King of Generals – Li Cunxiao!" Yang Hao said softly, looking at the figure.
"Name: Li Cunxiao"
"Alias: An Jingsi"
"Dynasty: Late Tang Dynasty"
"Cultivation: Realm of Transcendence!"
"Cultivation Method: Flying Tiger War Scripture"
"Accompanying Troop Type: Peerless Troop – Hundred Thousand Flying Tiger Army!"
Experience: Li Cunxiao, originally named An Jingsi, was encountered by Prince Jin Li Keyong who was attacked by a tiger. He shot the tiger with an arrow, and the wounded tiger rushed towards An Jingsi. An Jingsi killed it with his bare fists, tossing the carcass directly across the river. Li Keyong was astonished by his bravery and took him as his adopted son, becoming the Thirteenth Protector Li Cunxiao.
After joining Li Keyong, the generals of Feihu Mountain, Xue Atan and An Xiuxiu, jointly advanced towards Li Keyong. Li Cunxiao went to battle and captured both of them in one move. Upon his return, his wine was still warm. Under Xue Atan's deliberate tactic of retreating troops, Li Cunxiao charged into Hangu Pass, with over a dozen men capturing the city.
