With the southern border of the Immortal Realm completely wiped out by the Great Han, Yang Hao reaped a considerable amount of luck and merit points, as well as kill points. Since only the Dragon Nether Sacred Court possessed Quasi-Emperor realm beings, the luck and merit points gained this time were not as substantial as those from the eight regions in the depths of the Immortal Realm. After converting half for suppressing national destiny, he obtained less than twenty billion luck and merit points in total.
Subsequently, Yang Hao upgraded the Luck Nine Cauldrons and the Barracks by one level, to suppress the newly occupied regions. With the Barracks upgraded, the newly emerged soldiers could enter the Barracks and be elevated to the Great Heavenly Venerate realm.
To this end, kill points and luck and merit points were consumed to elevate all the emerged soldiers to the Great Heavenly Venerate realm.
Wang Zhongsi, who commanded the Qilin Legion for this campaign, also became renowned throughout the land. Yang Hao, overjoyed, bestowed upon Wang Zhongsi the title of Marquis Feng An, making him the first distinguished hero to be ennobled with a title since the establishment of the Great Han.
After this battle, the Demon Abyss Realm's scheme of using a borrowed knife to kill misfired. Due to Danxue Mountain, they abandoned their plans to further suppress the Great Han Sacred Court. However, many forces near the Great Han Sacred Court became exceedingly nervous. Wang Zhongsi's personal might was too dazzling, and countless Quasi-Emperor powerhouses dared not make a move, choosing to temporarily avoid his formidable presence.
Under the advice of Li Si and others, Yang Hao refrained from further outward expansion. Instead, he vigorously promoted the recovery and development of the newly controlled regions, further consolidating national destiny, and ensuring that the beings living within the territory would genuinely submit to the authority of the Great Han from the bottom of their hearts.
Just as the southern border region of the Immortal Realm was entering a period of peace, a woman, her feet glowing, stepped across the Boundary Sea and arrived near the shores of the Great Han Sacred Court. Sudancd.com
"The aura is gone again!"
Vermilion Bird was somewhat disappointed. Half a month prior, while searching the southern border of the Immortal Realm, she had suddenly detected a Vermilion Bird aura emanating from a border region. She had quickly locked onto it and headed in that direction. However, after traveling intermittently, the Vermilion Bird aura had once again vanished.
Vermilion Bird was perplexed. How could she, a supreme powerhouse who controlled seventy-three Emperor's Mandates, fail to pinpoint the exact location of that Vermilion Bird aura? In a haze, she felt a force disrupting her lock.
"Sigh!"
She let out a long sigh and headed towards the northern sea region of the Great Han Sacred Court, deviating from the correct course. A figure, their footsteps glowing, walked into the distance across the cursed Boundary Sea.
...
"Regarding the matters in the southern border of the Immortal Realm, have you heard about it, Eldest Brother?"
Deep within the Vast Motion Palace, two hazy figures sat amidst the chaos.
"Extraordinary potential!"
The figure seated in the southern position uttered four words.
"The strength of the Human Race should not be underestimated. Now, they are also intertwined with Danxue Mountain. Vast Motion, you should make a decision on this matter as soon as possible. Delay is not advisable!" The figure in the northern position spoke with some urgency.
"After the Danxue Mountain incident, Mad God Immortal Emperor was forced into the Ancient Star Path, the Grand Dao Palace collapsed, and the eight regions were gifted to the Great Han Sacred Court by Danxue Mountain. What do you think Mad God will feel upon hearing this?" Vast Motion Immortal Emperor smiled faintly, his intentions unclear.
"The decree from the supreme beings prohibits us Immortal Emperors from suppressing ordinary forces. However, either the Great Han or Danxue Mountain must be eliminated. Otherwise, when they grow strong enough, you and I will likely suffer the same fate as the Grand Dao Palace!" The northern figure spoke with some anger, dispersing the chaotic mist that shrouded their face. It was precisely Heavenly Scarlet Immortal Emperor of the Witch Mountain Immortal Court.
"Heavenly Scarlet, you are still too hasty," Vast Motion Immortal Emperor shook his head.
"Eldest Brother, this is not a matter of haste. The arrow is already on the string and must be loosed!" Heavenly Scarlet Immortal Emperor stated with dissatisfaction.
"The immortal artifact with emperor's might on Dragon Nether Sacred Emperor, that is the aura of the Void Demon Race, isn't it?"
"I believe there is no need for us to intervene. Beings will naturally suppress the Great Han Sacred Court. However, you still need to add fuel to the fire."
"Eldest Brother, you mean!" Heavenly Scarlet Immortal Emperor stood up, his voice filled with excitement. "Indeed, Eldest Brother is still Eldest Brother. My combat power is inferior to yours, and in terms of intellect, I am far behind you. This knife needs to be used wisely."
...
"Immortal Emperor!"
"Immortal Emperor!"
In the Demon Palace of the Demon Abyss Realm, five powerful Quasi-Emperor beings were gathered, kneeling on one knee towards Void Immortal Emperor.
"You have all heard about the Great Han, haven't you?" Void Immortal Emperor spoke softly.
"Immortal Emperor, the Quasi-Emperor beings on the southern border are not worthy of being your subordinates. An Immortal Emperor's clone perished at the hands of the Great Han and Seven Stars Immortal Emperor. I am willing to volunteer to annihilate the Great Han for you!"
A Quasi-Emperor in the hall stood up.
"The Witch Mountain Immortal Court is pressuring me. I do not see this as a bad thing," Void Immortal Emperor said calmly.
"The territory of the Grand Dao Palace has fallen into the hands of the Great Han. If my Void Demon Race occupies it, not only will we join the forces of Vast Motion Palace and Witch Mountain Immortal Court, but when Mad God Immortal Emperor emerges from the Ancient Star Path, all the territory will be returned. At that time, my Void Demon Race will have the backing of three top-tier forces," Void Immortal Emperor's eyes flickered with streaks of red light.
"Immortal Emperor is wise!"
The five Quasi-Emperors rose one after another.
"Immortal Emperor, how do we circumvent the decree issued by the supreme beings?" a Quasi-Emperor asked doubtfully. This indeed touched upon an agreement reached by the supreme beings. If a supreme being appeared, let alone Vast Motion Immortal Emperor, even Danxue Mountain could suppress them with a single finger.
"Yuan Qing!"
Void Immortal Emperor called out.
"Master!"
From a spatial area in the southwest corner of the grand hall, a white-browed old man with three heads emerged, leaning on a staff. His three pairs of white eyebrows touched the floor, and as he walked, white runes appeared beneath his feet.
Within the grand hall, the five Quasi-Emperor powerhouses all turned their gaze towards the white-browed old man. Having followed Void Immortal Emperor for countless years, they had never seen this elder before.
"Three-Headed Flood Dragon Yuan Qing, greetings to all!"
Yuan Qing bowed slightly to the five Quasi-Emperors. These five Quasi-Emperors under Void Immortal Emperor were extraordinary, all capable of wielding emperor's might, and were renowned generals under Void Immortal Emperor.
"Yuan Qing, I have protected your Three-Headed Flood Dragon clan for countless years. It is time for your clan to repay me," Void Immortal Emperor said with a cold expression.
"Immortal Emperor, Yuan Qing and the Three-Headed Flood Dragon clan are deeply indebted to you. The entire clan has been waiting for this day to arrive," Yuan Qing knelt on both knees.
"The supreme beings' decree suppresses the Immortal Realm, making it difficult for my Void Demon Race to openly intervene. You will lead the Three-Headed Flood Dragon clan to attack the eight regions controlled by the Great Han Sacred Court in the depths of the Immortal Realm. Upon success, I will bestow upon your Three-Headed Flood Dragon clan an emperor-grade immortal treasure imbued with emperor's might!" Void Immortal Emperor decreed.
"Thank you, Immortal Emperor!"
"Thank you, Immortal Emperor!"
Yuan Qing's eyes gleamed. An emperor-grade immortal treasure imbued with emperor's might was an extraordinary thing, and the foundation of the Three-Headed Flood Dragon clan would undergo a qualitative change.
