"Congratulations to Your Majesty on the Qian Yuan Sacred Festival!"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty on the Qian Yuan Sacred Festival!"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty on the Qian Yuan Sacred Festival!"
...
At this moment, all the martial artists who came to participate in the Qian Yuan Festival loudly congratulated King Han, Yang Hao, on his Qian Yuan Sacred Festival.
"The Sacred Festival begins!" Bao Zheng stood at the forefront, a slight smile on his face, channeling his Yuan force to announce the start of the Qian Yuan Festival to the crowd.
Plates of precious elixirs and spiritual fruits were neatly arranged on the tables. Even the greatly coveted Ascension Yuan Pills from before the kingdom was established were now laid out in platters as if they were mere dirt.
Yang Hao smiled, looking at the grand scene in the plaza. They were all here today to celebrate his birthday.
The martial artists engaged in lively conversation, and Li Bai, in particular, was inspired, reciting poems filled with celestial energy.
Time slowly passed.
But just as the Qian Yuan Festival reached its peak, a golden vortex suddenly swirled above the royal palace.
Instantly, a vast imperial might swept out, and a blue teleportation array, hundreds of feet wide, slowly materialized in the void, emitting waves of Yuan force.
"Hum~"
The formation hummed, and the blue array slowly took shape. A deep blue vortex gradually opened in the center, and waves of imperial might surged into the sky.
"Human Emperor Hall!"
Ying Zhong, Ying Jia, Yun Han, and the others instantly turned pale, their eyes bulging as they stared at the teleportation array in the void.
At this moment, Ling Xuan and the other imperial dynasty factions all rose, watching this scene with tense expressions.
The Human Emperor Hall!
"Miss, what is that?" Liang'er asked, her eyes wide with confusion, looking at the tense Ling Xuan.
"As you know, the Eastern Wasteland Continent is vast. The Southwestern Domain alone, as recorded by our Ling family, is home to ten imperial dynasties."
"However, a hundred thousand years ago, the entire Southwestern Domain of the Eastern Wasteland was controlled by a powerful imperial dynasty. Records of this imperial dynasty are almost fragmentary, but it was only through constant exploration of the Ancient Wasteland that later generations gradually gained some clear understanding of its collapse!!"
"Legend has it that twenty thousand years ago, one day, a roar shook the heavens and earth. Countless martial artists in the Southwestern Domain were so shaken by the immense sound that their legs went weak, and some weaker human martial artists' bodies directly ruptured!"
"No one knows what happened in the Ancient Wasteland, but the entire Ancient Wasteland erupted. Terrifying energies and monstrous roars shook all directions!"
"Tens of millions of demonic beasts broke free from the imperial dynasty's seals in the Ancient Wasteland. It seems some world-shattering treasure appeared, causing a rampage of demonic beasts in the Ancient Wasteland. Their eyes were blood red as they rushed out of the seals and into the Southwestern Domain!"
"The Ancient Wasteland had eight Great Demon Venerables who seemed to be fighting over something. These eight forces stormed into human territory, initiating a world-shattering battle!"
"According to ancient records, on that day, the entire Southwestern Domain flowed with blood, and corpses littered the ground. The demonic beasts were powerful, far exceeding the strength of the imperial dynasty. The demonic beasts fought each other, and when they were hungry, they would devour human martial artists."
"In the void, sometimes flames scorched the sky, sometimes dark clouds covered it, and at other times, it was vast and empty!"
"The supreme powerhouses of the imperial dynasty, the unparalleled Emperor, were also brutally devoured by demonic beasts on the battlefield. All the human powerhouses were slaughtered. The flesh and blood of human powerhouses were even more potent, becoming the coveted prize for the demon kings!"
"The surviving ancient human sages did not know how long that battle lasted. Since then, human forces in the Southwestern Domain drastically declined. For as long as fifty thousand years, no Heavenly Fusion realm expert emerged. The shattered seals allowed the frenzied demonic beasts to taste the deliciousness of human flesh!"
"For the past hundred thousand years, the human lands of the Southwestern Domain have been subjected to the invasion and slaughter of demonic beasts. However, in the past hundred thousand years, humanity has not produced any supreme experts capable of unifying the Southwestern Domain. Furthermore, humans are prone to internal conflict, and for the past hundred thousand years, they have engaged in mutual slaughter and territorial encroachment."
"It was only fifty thousand years ago that the various imperial dynasty factions reached an agreement and established the Human Emperor Hall to jointly resist the threat of demonic beasts from the Ancient Wasteland!"
Ling Xuan gazed with a vacant look at the vast dragon might emanating from the void.
"Miss, since the demonic beasts in the Ancient Wasteland are so powerful that even the unparalleled Emperor found them difficult to handle, why haven't these demonic beasts simply flattened the Southwestern Domain over the past hundred thousand years?" Li Shang asked doubtfully, looking at Ling Xuan.
"At the border between our human lands and the Ancient Wasteland, there is an ancient seal. This seal is a product of an unknown era. Even the unparalleled Emperor made certain enhancements to this ancient seal!"
"This seal weakens once every hundred years, around the node of twenty thousand years ago. Every hundred-year mark, the various imperial dynasty factions, under the coordination of the Human Emperor Hall, lead their armies to attack the sealed area and engage in fierce battles with the demonic beast army!"
"The demonic beasts of the Ancient Wasteland only remain in human territory for three months. After three months, the ancient seal will become stronger, completely isolating the two realms!"
Ling Xuan's tone intensified as she spoke, murmuring, "This Great Han is merely a dynasty. Why would the Human Emperor Hall descend here?"
At this moment, it wasn't just her. The martial artists of various imperial dynasty factions were also filled with confusion. The Great Han already possessed such immense power that it could cause the Human Emperor Hall to descend here.
Yang Hao looked up, his gaze cold. The sky above the royal palace had already been visited by three teleportation arrays. His expression was calm. With Li Wenzhong and Li Bai, two experts in the Heavenly Fusion realm, and having already broken through to the Spiritual Venerable realm, he could unleash a full-strength attack from a top-tier Heavenly Fusion realm expert anywhere within the Great Han.
All the eternal heroes stood up, their faces solemn as they gazed at the teleportation array in the void. Today was the King's Qian Yuan Festival. Anyone who dared to disturb it would face death, no matter who they were!
A burly man slowly walked out of the teleportation array and hovered in the void. He was dressed in a purple python robe, with sword-like eyebrows and tiger-like eyes, holding a yellow scroll in his hand and surveying his surroundings.
"Marquis Zi Shan of the Blood Sun Imperial Dynasty!" Yun Han exclaimed in shock, his face changing drastically. The Human Emperor Hall was jointly established by ten imperial dynasties, and these ten imperial dynasties took turns presiding for one hundred years. This century, the Blood Sun Imperial Dynasty was in charge, and Marquis Zi Shan was one of the four great Marquises of the Blood Sun Imperial Dynasty. His cultivation had already reached the Heavenly Fusion realm.
Marquis Zi Shan's face was cold as he looked down at the martial artists below, as if they were ants. His gaze was indifferent, and his Heavenly Fusion realm aura, filled with surging blood qi, pressed down unreservedly like a ten-thousand-zhang mountain.
Marquis Zi Shan instantly crossed over everyone and directly targeted Yang Hao, who was clad in royal robes. A cold smile suddenly appeared on his lips as he boomed, "You are the Human King of Great Han!"
