Chapter 1348 Stepping into the Quasi-Emperor Realm

"By the decree of the Great Han Holy Emperor!"

A thunderous shout reached the ears of all living beings in the Seven Stars Pavilion. Above the pavilion, a colossal spatial portal tore open. Wei Zhongxian, holding a sacred imperial decree, stood before it, his gaze sweeping over the Seven Stars Immortal Emperor, Ye Xuan.

"This subject, Lü Bu, pays respects to the Holy Emperor!"

Lü Bu sheathed his Halberd of Heaven and Earth and knelt solemnly on the firmament.

"We pay respects to the Holy Emperor!"

Ten thousand iron cavalry dismounted, their knees hitting the ground. Banners fluttered!

"Bang!"

Seven Stars Immortal Emperor Ye Xuan gazed at Wei Zhongxian, then sank to his knees powerlessly beside Lü Bu. Slowly, all living beings bowed prostrate.

"By the decree of the Great Han Holy Emperor!"

"General Wei Lü Bu, you are hereby ordered to conquer the Seven Stars Pavilion, annex all its subordinate realms, expand the territory, and achieve great merit. You are bestowed the title of Peerless War General, First Class Marquis, with the honorary title Wen."

"I thank the Holy Emperor!"

Lü Bu bowed respectfully, rose, and accepted the imperial decree, heavy with the might of an emperor.

"By the decree of the Great Han Holy Emperor, the Pavilion Master of the Seven Stars Pavilion, Ye Xuan, is stripped of his title as Seven Stars Immortal Emperor. He is granted the title of First Class Count of the Great Han Holy Court. The Seven Stars Pavilion shall be disbanded with immediate effect!"

"This subject."

Ye Xuan let out a long sigh and said, "I thank the Holy Emperor!"

...

In the 356th year of the Great Han, early spring.

The Wen Marquis Lü Bu of the Great Han Holy Court, in a single battle, defeated the Seven Stars Immortal Emperor Ye Xuan. All realms under the Seven Stars Pavilion fell under the dominion of the Great Han Holy Court. The Seven Stars Immortal Emperor Ye Xuan submitted to the Great Han Holy Court. For a time, the southern region of the Immortal Realm was in an uproar. Countless beings found it hard to believe that the mighty Seven Stars Pavilion could collapse entirely within a few days.

Within the Great Han Holy Court, the imperial palace of Chang'an City.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host. Ye Xuan, the Pavilion Master of the Seven Stars Pavilion, has submitted to the Great Han. The Seven Stars Pavilion, controlling seven realms, has become Han territory!"

"Ding! Control over five realms of the Void Demon Race has been gained, earning sixty billion points of Luck and Merit, and three billion points of Slaughter!"

"Ding! Warning to the host: The nation's paramount artifacts, the Nine Cauldrons, the Twelve Golden Men, the Immortal Dynasty Jade Seal, the Emperor Lord Immortal Tablet, and the Xuanyuan Sword have converted half of their Luck and Merit, suppressing the national destiny of the Great Han Holy Court!"

"Ding! Warning to the host: The total Luck and Merit points under the host's command are forty-one billion remaining, Slaughter points are three billion remaining, and Samsara power is one hundred million points remaining!"

"System, deduct Luck and Merit points to upgrade my realm and strength!" Yang Hao spoke. As a Quasi-Emperor, after centuries in the Immortal Realm, he was about to ascend to the Quasi-Emperor realm. The journey was long and arduous, and even with his efforts, there was an endpoint!

"Ding! Congratulations to the host. Successfully deducted twenty-six billion points of Luck and Merit. The host's realm will be elevated to the Quasi-Emperor realm!"

The Quasi-Emperor realm!

Also known as the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm!

A Quasi-Immortal Emperor could destroy a realm with a flick of their fingers. They could conceal the heavenly secrets of the Great Dao. Whether in the past, present, or after their demise, their entire being was shrouded in chaos. Even a Quasi-Emperor from the river of future history would find it difficult to perceive them or their life. Of course, what excited beings most upon reaching the Quasi-Emperor realm was the emergence of the Emperor's Road before them.

The path to Immortal Emperor, the supreme position, held immense allure. It was the pinnacle of cultivation. To ascend to Immortal Emperor meant becoming the supreme overlord. Even a newly enlightened being who controlled an Emperor's Mandate could command the worship and submission of countless beings. Upon entering the Immortal Emperor realm, one could access the mysterious Ancient Star Road, contend for Emperor's Mandates, and pursue the ultimate of the cultivation path!

At this moment, torrents of Luck and Merit flowed into Yang Hao's physical body. Instantly, divine beasts opened their mouths, exuding brilliance, fully propelling Yang Hao's realm advancement. In the blink of an eye, the vast Luck and Merit transformed into pure immortal power, rapidly propelling Yang Hao from his current Immortal Emperor realm, through several minor stages without hindrance, breaking through the barrier of the Immortal Emperor realm. At this instant, the Nine Cauldrons trembled as if congratulating Yang Hao's realm advancement. Yang Hao's realm instantly rose by a major tier, reaching the first level of Quasi-Emperor.

At this moment, within a single breath, each of the thousand-year-old heroes who had emerged also rapidly progressed through four minor stages. Pillars of golden light erupted, piercing the nine heavens!

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully entering the first level of Quasi-Emperor!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for breaking through a major realm. Summoned heroes will be elevated by four minor stages!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host.

...

"Ding! Congratulations to the host. The summoned hero Lü Bu has successfully condensed four Emperor's Mandates, controlling a total of seven Emperor's Mandates!"

"System, search for the remaining Luck and Merit points. Which national artifact can be upgraded?" Yang Hao closed the hero page and said faintly. With only fifteen billion remaining Luck and Merit points, the Nine Cauldrons were likely out of reach.

"Ding! Search successful. The current fifteen billion points of Luck and Merit under the host's command are sufficient to upgrade the Twelve Golden Men!"

"System, use Luck and Merit points to upgrade the Twelve Golden Men!" Yang Hao commanded directly, standing up.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host. Successfully deducted fifteen billion points of Luck and Merit, which will be used to upgrade the national artifact, the Twelve Golden Men!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host. The Twelve Golden Men have successfully been upgraded to Level Seven. Both the host and the summoned heroes can now mobilize the Twelve Golden Men to slay peak Immortal Emperor realm powerhouses!"

Boom!

As the system's prompt sounded, the Twelve Golden Men in the square of the Xuanzheng Hall of the imperial palace erupted with astonishing golden light. Twelve beams of light shot into the sky, piercing the nine heavens.

The majestic figures of the Twelve Golden Men appeared across various realms of the Great Han territory, and countless beings bowed in submission.
