"Have you all heard about the matters in the Southern Immortal Realm!"
Deep within the territory controlled by the Qiongqi lineage in the western Immortal Realm, at a place called Ya Mountain, the beings of the Qiongqi main lineage resided.
Inside a grand hall, an elder, stooped with a cane, walked to the head seat. He turned and looked at the assembled Quasi-Emperors, speaking in a deep voice before sitting down. He took a sip of immortal tea, then spat it out, a stream of brilliance flowing.
"Supreme Elder!"
The Quasi-Emperors rose and bowed slightly.
"Sit!"
The elder waved his hand.
"Thank you, Supreme Elder."
"Supreme Elder, we are aware of the events in the Southern Immortal Realm. It's truly unbelievable. Since the Immortal Realm entered the Age of Emperors until now, no single force has dared to provoke the Giants so brazenly. This Great Han is courting death," one Quasi-Emperor stated coldly, a chilling killing intent appearing on his lips.
"Supreme Elder!" The Quasi-Emperor at the head of the left-hand side rose and said, "The Great Han has offended the Giant forces; its destruction is only a matter of time. The Heavenly Horned Ant tribe only seeks the Kunpeng Body Technique. The Sun-Moon Heavenly Court and the Bo Men Palace will likely seize this opportunity to divide its territory. Supreme Elder, I believe now is the time to avenge the humiliation of our Qiongqi lineage!"
At these words, the assembled Quasi-Emperors nodded. Their Saint Sons had been subdued by Zhao Yun of the Great Han decades ago and turned into mounts. For the Qiongqi lineage, a top-tier force, this was an utterly humiliating disgrace! Utterly humiliating!
At that time, a decree from an Unsurpassed Giant stated that all grievances within the Old Land would cease to exist once they exited. But now, the Great Han had offended the Giant forces. If their Qiongqi lineage chose this moment to act, the Giant forces likely would not blame them.
"Supreme Elder!"
"This is the best opportunity!"
"They suppressed our Qiongqi lineage's Saint Sons and caused our Qiongqi lineage to be unable to hold its head up until now. Suppress them! Suppress the Human Race!" one Quasi-Emperor exclaimed, his face flushed red as he slammed the table.
"Please, Immortal Emperor, suppress the Great Han and annihilate the Human Race!"
Quasi-Emperors stepped forward one by one.
"What's the hurry!"
The elder spoke, instantly suppressing the imposing aura of the Quasi-Emperors. He slowly stood up and said, "The Human Race has indeed oppressed our Qiongqi lineage greatly. You are correct, this is an opportunity. Since none of you have any objections, then please issue the Immortal Emperor's decree!"
Boom!
As the elder's words fell, the sky above Ya Mountain tore open, and a colossal figure emerged. Its every strand of hair was incredibly clear, drifting in the chaos with boundless might. The moment this figure appeared, the bustling city beneath Ya Mountain fell silent. The immense figure trembled, and an endless golden light instantly enveloped the entire Great Wilderness Four Regions.
"Ancestor!"
The Quasi-Emperors knelt on both knees, paying homage to the colossal figure.
"This Emperor knows of this matter!"
The colossal figure spoke, then vanished into the chaos. The Supreme Elder rose excitedly, "It is indeed! Our Ancestor! The Eight Desolations Immortal Emperor!"
The Eight Desolations Immortal Emperor!
The Qiongqi lineage's two Giant ancestors, controlling thirty-two Emperor Fates!
...
Boom!
In the eastern Immortal Realm, at the core of the Azure Dragon lineage—Fu Chen Mountain!
With a deafening roar, the void exploded. The Black Dragon Immortal Emperor's body tumbled across the sky. Not far from him, a majestic figure stood with his hands clasped behind his back, an imperial mark flowing between his brows, suppressing the Black Dragon Immortal Emperor!
"Jade Dragon, you too want to stop me!" The Black Dragon Immortal Emperor's physical body ruptured. He transformed into his true form and roared at the man, his dragon roars echoing. The imperial marks that erupted were extinguished by the man's single hand. The man reached out and directly captured the Black Dragon Immortal Emperor in his palm.
"Black Dragon, you are still too young," the man said with a gentle shake of his head. "This matter has already exceeded our capabilities. The Great Han is in the south, too far away. Even if our Azure Dragon lineage intervenes and gains some small benefits, we won't be able to protect them. A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake."
"What's more, the Heavenly Horned Ant tribe is also involved!"
"What we can do is protect the hundreds of millions of dragon sons and descendants behind us," the figure stated coldly. The Black Dragon Immortal Emperor, writhing in his palm, gradually calmed down from his frenzied roars. He transformed into human form and knelt in the man's palm, saying unyieldingly, "But... but my reputation..." Su Dan Novel Network
"Bastard!"
The man berated him, "Is your reputation more important than your life, or more important than the Black Dragon clan behind you!"
"The southern Immortal Realm is the territory controlled by the Heavenly Horned Ant tribe. We cannot cross the line. Under the control of the Ancestral Dragon Hall, we are already walking on thin ice. If we meddle in the southern affairs, have you ever considered my Fu Chen Mountain!"
"Enough!"
"Take him back to Dragon Well and have him reflect for a hundred years!"
...
The Great Han, year 356, December.
Six months had passed since the Great Han annihilated the Blade Sea Alliance. During these six months, the four directions of the Immortal Realm had been exceptionally calm, time flying by.
On this day, it was the day the Great Han Holy Court was to be promoted to Heavenly Court. Compared to the promotion to Holy Court, there were few guests on this day, one might even say it was desolate!
Apart from the citizens of the Great Han and some ordinary beings from outside, only Kong Xuan of Dan Xue Mountain came to offer congratulations from the four directions of the Immortal Realm. Apart from him, no other force came to congratulate the Great Han on its promotion to Heavenly Court.
In the Great Han Holy Court, within the Imperial Palace of Chang'an City, Yang Hao, clad in imperial robes, emerged from the Xuanzheng Hall. On the plaza before the Xuanzheng Hall, civil and military officials were lined up on both sides. The moment Yang Hao appeared, they immediately knelt on both knees and shouted.
"Greetings, Holy Emperor! May the Great Han be eternal!"
"Greetings, Holy Emperor! May the Great Han be eternal!"
"Greetings, Holy Emperor! May the Great Han be eternal!"
...
As the civil and military officials paid their respects, countless citizens submitted themselves, all raising their heads and shouting congratulations to the Great Han's impending promotion to Heavenly Court!
Across the entire territory of the Great Han, the phantoms of the Nine Cauldrons appeared. Beings from outside stopped in their tracks, gazing at the emerging phantoms of the Nine Cauldrons. The immense pressure forced them to submit. At the center of the Nine Cauldrons, an Immortal Emperor golden body, towering ten thousand zhang into the sky, materialized. That figure, clad in imperial robes, wore a flat-topped crown, his right hand resting on the Xuanyuan Sword, his left hand holding the Nine Dragon Imperial Seal.
"Hah!"
"Hah!"
"Hah!"
The legions knelt on one knee, their battle blades pointed directly at the sky, their killing intent enveloping the periphery of the Nine Cauldrons. The clashing of endless killing intent caused the Twelve Golden Figures on the Xuanzheng Hall plaza to suddenly flash with golden light. Phantoms of the Golden Figures appeared in the four directions of the sky. Their immense power shocked the Immortal Emperors who were observing, causing blood to drip from their eyes. The Twelve Golden Figures could now annihilate top-tier Immortal Emperors. If not for an absolute top-tier Immortal Emperor, who could withstand such formidable killing intent!
Kong Xuan stood up, extremely respectful, not daring to move a finger. The Great Han before him was simply too powerful.
