On the distant earth, the Water Left Immortal Emperor, the foremost figure of the Northern Immortal Realm, lay with a shattered head, his life force extinguished. His flowing blood lost its vitality and gradually congealed. As he watched the Heavenly Palace General and Guan Chen depart, only Wang Zhongsi of the Great Han Sacred Court stood on the vast land. The scene was too shocking. Even though all living beings had guessed this outcome, when it truly happened, no one could believe it. The incredibly powerful Water Left Immortal Emperor and the Celestial Corpse Old Immortal had both fallen. The obscure Guan Chen and the newly risen Heavenly Palace General had voluntarily abandoned the contention for the first-grade Imperial Mandate Seed.
"The once supreme human race, is it about to ascend to the peak of the Great Dao again? Three beings from the Great Han Sacred Court entered the Ancient Immortal Land, each peerless and unparalleled, dominating the current era, invincible within the Ancient Immortal Land!" One first-grade Imperial Mandate Seed and two second-grade Imperial Mandate Seeds were all claimed by the human prodigies of Great Han. Could it be that in the near future, Great Han will have three emperors shaking the world? With three emperors appearing, the human race will make a comeback, and the Immortal Realm will likely be thrown into chaos. Who can ignore such immense power?
"The Heavenly Palace General of the Heavenly Demon Court, Guan Chen of the Azure Dragon lineage, was defeated and fled. The Celestial Corpse Old Immortal and the Water Left Immortal Emperor, who dominated the western and northern parts of the Immortal Realm, have fallen. This...this...this battle is even more terrifying than the previous one. The Peacock Great Bright King of the past did not possess such an invincible aura, dominating an era, suppressing an era, and annihilating an era. Fighting an entire generation alone, his effortless demeanor surpassed that of the Peacock Great Bright King back then. The Immortal Realm is likely to be thrown into turmoil," a Quasi-Emperor expert said, his lips trembling.
"This is too invincible! He challenged several powerful Immortal Emperors alone, killed the Golden Crow man, the Celestial Corpse Old Immortal, and the Water Left Immortal Emperor, and forced back the Heavenly Palace General and Guan Chen. Who in the world can match him? The first-grade Imperial Mandate Seed now belongs to him. Is he aiming to surpass all ages and dominate both the Immortal Emperor and Quasi-Emperor realms?" To most insightful beings, Wang Zhongsi was even more terrifying. No one knew the limit of Wang Zhongsi's combat power. Facing five powerful Immortal Emperors, Wang Zhongsi remained at ease. Even with the combined strength of five powerful Immortal Emperors, they could not force him to exert even seventy percent of his power.
"Defeated! Defeated! Big Brother is actually defeated!"
The fall of the Water Left Immortal Emperor caused a tremendous uproar in the Lightning Dao Alliance in the northern region. Several close relatives of the Water Left Immortal Emperor found it hard to believe this fact. Perhaps for them, the Water Left Immortal Emperor's demise was the greatest catastrophe in their world, as they would lose the special care from the Lightning Dao Alliance.
"What a pity," a powerful being in the depths of the Lightning Dao Alliance said softly, his eyes devoid of any expression. Everything that happened in the Ancient Immortal Land was beyond his control. With the supreme leader's decree echoing through the heavens, even an Immortal Emperor like him was powerless to change the outcome.
Under the gaze of numerous beings, Wang Zhongsi strode to the side of the first-grade Imperial Mandate Seed. He reached out his palm and gently grasped it. He raised his head slightly and closed his eyes. The Imperial Mandate Seed emitted a faint golden light. Simultaneously, a bloodline on his arm began to respond. The Imperial Mandate Seed merged into his arm, flowing through his entire body.
Outside the Ancient Immortal Land, a being from Danxue Mountain emerged carrying a third-grade Imperial Mandate Seed and handed it to Zhuge Liang. Lei Yuan, standing nearby, was quite satisfied. Not a single disciple who entered the Ancient Immortal Land had perished. With the help of Zhao Yun and Guan Yu, they had even obtained an Imperial Mandate Seed, which was already a great fortune. Zhuge Liang held the Imperial Mandate Seed and gazed at the vast sky, saying, "Heavenly King, with the Imperial Mandate upon me, I must bid farewell!"
Zhuge Liang boarded his chariot and left the Ancient Immortal Land amidst the gazes of various factions, heading towards the direction of Mengzhou. No one dared to intercept him at this moment.
"Such potent energy!" Within the Ancient Immortal Land, Wang Zhongsi, who had merged with the Imperial Mandate Seed, suddenly opened his eyes. Having fused with the Imperial Mandate Seed, he could see the path ahead with utmost clarity. The time to become a Quasi-Emperor had arrived.
He rose from the ground and floated there, with the Dao inscriptions of the Qilin divine beast appearing behind him. The void around him warped and ignited with flames. Above his head, a long spear and a battle bow hovered.
Just one day after Wang Zhongsi entered his breakthrough, the Heavenly Palace General and Guan Chen had seized two third-grade Imperial Mandate Seeds and, almost simultaneously with Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, began their cultivation, advancing towards the Quasi-Emperor realm.
Boom!
The Ancient Immortal Land resounded with deafening roars. Only two Imperial Mandate Seeds remained in the entire ancient land. Countless beings surged forward, engaging in a mad struggle. The contention for these two third-grade Imperial Mandate Seeds resulted in even more brutal and terrifying slaughter than the struggle for the first-grade Imperial Mandate Seed. The sky was perpetually shrouded in blood clouds, and countless beings lived in fear and trepidation. Those who could not bear it directly left the ancient land, abandoning the competition for the remaining abundant resources.
Several days later, the remaining two third-grade Imperial Mandate Seeds were seized by two powerful Immortal Emperors. The moment these two beings entered their cultivation and fusion, the Ancient Immortal Land experienced a massive tremor. The entire firmament of the ancient land underwent strange changes, with nine spatial rifts piercing through from east to west, north to south.
"All nine Imperial Mandate Seeds have returned to their rightful places. The Great Dao of the Ancient Immortal Land is roaring, and the destiny of great fortune has descended. The time to become a Quasi-Emperor has arrived," a Quasi-Emperor expert from Bomen Palace said in a low voice.
"Wang Zhongsi of Great Han is about to break through. The human race of Great Han will possess a true Quasi-Emperor being, and the southern Immortal Realm will undoubtedly have a place for him," the experts of the Azure Dragon lineage stated. The human race would eventually return to the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm.
Sensing the powerful energy in the void, a strange flame condensed above Wang Zhongsi's head. Instantly, his entire aura disappeared from the perception of many powerful beings. Outside the Ancient Immortal Land, Quasi-Emperors looked at Wang Zhongsi's body, especially the Quasi-Emperors of the Void Demon race, whose eyes gleamed with bloodlust.
At the moment Wang Zhongsi ignited the strange flame, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Guan Chen, the Heavenly Palace General, and others also ignited their respective strange flames. The Dao flowers ignited, having laid the foundation for becoming Quasi-Emperors. They were about to step into the Quasi-Emperor realm!
"Quasi-Emperor, is it."
Wang Zhongsi opened his eyes and took a deep breath, feeling the changes within his body. He stood up and threw the long spear and battle bow into the strange flame above his head for refinement. He had already achieved the Quasi-Emperor position. As Royal Immortal Treasures used during the Immortal Emperor period, they naturally needed to be tempered and their quality enhanced.
"It's time to leave!" Wang Zhongsi glanced at the land and turned to walk towards the end of the sky. At the same moment, several streams of light shot out from the four directions of heaven and earth, rushing out of the Ancient Immortal Land.
