Chapter 677 True King
After bidding farewell to Long Potian, Gu Mofan, Di Wushe and the other two, led Li Hao and Shi Miao, and quickly rushed to Zulong City in the Eastern Region.
"Brother, why did you suddenly appear?"
On the way, Li Hao asked, their arrival on the battlefield was too abrupt, as if they were teleported directly.
But this is an important border area, and the laws of nature here have long been modified. Except for specific teleportation arrays, it is impossible to cross directly unless you are the Emperor!
"This is the power of the fifth final realm, chaos!"
Gu Mofan's expression tightened slightly as he explained to Li Hao.
"The fifth final realm?"
Li Hao's eyes moved. The fifth realm is "fifteen miles". The imperial road is fifteen miles. The extreme realm returns to the abyss, and the final realm is called chaos?
"In the Chaos Final Realm, one can travel through realms and traverse the four realms freely. One can also travel to the Primordial Realm with one's own abilities. One can be said to be a dragon whose head is visible but whose tail is not."
Zhan Qinghuang said to Li Hao, "We came here directly from Jidao Mountain, breaking through the boundary. Xiaowu's incarnation told us your location, so it was easy to find you."
Li Hao suddenly realized.
The ultimate state of Guixu is already an extremely amazing ability. The genius who previously practiced in the Sword Ancestor Holy Land and mastered the ultimate state of Guixu has the absolute ability to escape from other geniuses, and his teleportation traces cannot be tracked.
Guixu is teleportation, while Hunhun is even more extreme, able to travel through different realms.
"Chaos... can it be mastered using the Dao of Chaos?"
Li Hao's heart moved.
But there was obviously no chance to go for the trial at this time, so he asked, "Is Fifth Senior Brother's incarnation still in Jidao Mountain? Did he tell me what the situation is like in Zulong City?"
"He intends to throw his all into the battle this time. His avatar is just a weak projection, without any fighting power. He told us not to rescue him. He vows to stand with the Eastern Region until death."
Gu Mofan said in a deep voice, "But he's Lao Wu. He doesn't want to leave, so we have to go see him. Now that we're here, if we don't kill a few ancient demons and bring them back, our years of hard work would be in vain."
Li Hao nodded slightly, thinking of Mi Xueyao before. As a member of the ancient demon king clan, she was killed when her three senior brothers and sisters arrived. He didn't know whether she was dead or not.
In the past, they were friends at the dinner table, but now they are fighting a life-and-death game. This is the position of the big family.
As they talked, their figures chased the stars and the moon, and in a blink of an eye they crossed a vast star field and arrived in front of a towering starry sky city.
The city was built on a vast continent, like a spire on land, and from a distance it looked like a high-horned pointed hat.
However, a terrifying scene happened. Outside this towering city, a large black fog was swirling. Countless figures, like locusts passing through or bees surrounding a nest, surrounded the entire city, leaving no way out. There were three layers inside and three layers outside. One after another, top-notch magic arrays and rare magic arts bloomed and exploded like gorgeous fireworks.
There was a huge tide of ancient demons in the starry sky, and lines of burly ancient demon armies were charging. The Yan Gui formation with hundreds of thousands of ancient demons lined up was like countless soldiers in the starry sky, swarming towards the city!
There are countless ancient demons, so many that their number cannot be counted in billions, but in trillions.
The Yan Gui Formation, which was merely a military formation and looked like a giant black ghost, transformed into a massive charging soldier and attacked the city!
This scene not only stunned Li Hao, but even Gu Mofan and Zhan Qinghuang, who had seen big scenes before, also changed color. Di Wushe, who had killed ancient demons for tens of thousands of years at the border of the imperial clan, was also stunned at this moment. He felt that the ancient demons he had killed and seen in the past ten thousand years were not as many as what he saw at this moment!
Exaggeration, horror!
The besieged city, like a hill, was not eaten or broken. Dragon roars could be heard from inside, and from time to time a huge dragon's body could be seen flipping over, but it was quickly annihilated.
“This, this…”
Zhan Qinghuang was shocked. As a quasi-emperor, she actually felt a bit of fear from the scene before her.
There are countless Yama Ghost Formations that are comparable to the fifth level of Immortal King Realm in terms of combat power. Although these cannot pose a threat to the Quasi-Emperor Realm, there are still terrifying figures fighting inside, and there are more than a dozen of them, all of whom have the cultivation level of Quasi-Emperor Realm!
Among them, in another part of the battlefield, there was a collapsed black hole, which seemed to explode rampantly and turned into a restricted area. The pure darkness made people dare not approach, and the breath of the emperor could be heard from inside.
bass!
While Li Hao was still in shock, a sword energy that pierced through the sky suddenly shot out from the black hole and swept across the battlefield in an instant, like a pair of sharp scissors cutting through the canvas, directly cutting a gap in the chaotic battlefield like locusts.
Not even the corpse of the ancient demon was left on the gap; it was completely destroyed.
"The Emperor has also joined the battle..."
Gu Mofan and the other two's expressions changed. They had not expected the war situation in the Eastern Region to be so dire. As soon as the news came out, the emperor actually went to fight.
On such a battlefield, even though they were at the quasi-emperor level, they had to be careful. They had to rely on their own emperor to take action and restrain the emperor of the ancient demon side before they had room to take action.
Among the few people, only Shi Miao had a solemn expression, with a dazed look in her eyes. She had seen such a scene a hundred thousand years ago, and had personally been there, becoming a participant in the battle on the battlefield. The battle at that time was far more intense than it is now. It was the first time that the ancient demon appeared in the real world, and the emperors were present in person. The battle was so fierce that the sky was dark and the void was shattered.
Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, two words inexplicably emerged in Shi Miao's mind: fate and reincarnation!
The fateful battle of one hundred thousand years ago seemed to be happening again.
"Qinghuang, please send Junior Brother and Miss Shi Miao back. Wushe and I will go visit Xiaowu."
After a brief shock, Gu Mofan came back to his senses and immediately spoke in a deep voice.
Zhan Qinghuang was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "Do you want to join the battle? I want to join too!"
Although their master warned them that they only needed to bring back Li Hao, after seeing the scene before them and seeing that Long Qingge was still here, they still wanted to fight.
"Don't mess around, send Junior Brother back first. Otherwise, if something happens, we can get away, but Junior Brother can't. Don't forget Master's orders!"
Gu Mofan frowned.
Zhan Qinghuang, as the pride of the Zhan family, is warlike by nature. Their ancestors once fought against the way of heaven and named themselves "Zhan". It is conceivable how crazy the members of the Zhan family are about fighting. They are unwilling to let her escape back.
"You also know that it is Master's order, Senior Brother. If you want to go back, you go back. I won't go."
Zhan Qinghuang also said with a stern face.
She did not try to persuade her second senior brother next to her because she knew that the imperial family was even more arrogant and would not back down.
"You'd better not do anything."
While the two were arguing, Shi Miao spoke up.
The three of them looked at Shi Miao and frowned slightly.
Although Shi Miao was only at the fourth level of the Immortal King Realm, he showed no fear in the face of Li Hao's three senior brothers and sisters. Instead, he said in a serious tone, "There is only one Emperor coming to fight at the moment. Given the cunning of the ancient demons, there will definitely not be only one Emperor coming to attack. The other ancient demon emperors are most likely waiting in the dark. Now may not be the most intense moment. If you go into battle and disrupt the balance, I am afraid that the second emperor will soon be defeated!"
Hearing her words, the three of them were stunned, looking at each other, and then looking at the scene in front of them, their faces suddenly became a little ugly.
Indeed, Shi Miao’s words made a lot of sense. It was impossible that there was only one Ancient Demon Emperor here.
"If I remember correctly, there's a teleportation array in this Ancestral Dragon City that connects to the Ancestral Dragon Court. The reason it's been able to hold out until now is probably because there's a constant stream of soldiers being teleported here from the Ancestral Dragon Court to fight to the death. This battle is just the beginning. Only when at least three Ancient Demon Emperors take action will the true victory or defeat be decided!"
Shi Miao said in a deep voice, like a veteran who had been through many battles, commenting calmly.
"The three of you are all at the Quasi-Emperor Realm and are also the proud disciples of Daoyuan Immortal Emperor. Your current plan is to break through to the Emperor Realm as quickly as possible and perfect your own paths to becoming an Emperor, rather than taking risks here. If you are injured, even if you don't die, it will take a lot of time just to recuperate. How long will it take for you to become an Emperor? If the ancient demon breaks through the Eastern Region and begins to sweep across the entire True World, will you fight with your current realm?"
Shi Miao glanced at the three of them and spoke word by word.
Although her realm was not as high as the other three, her words at this moment were like those of an elder, calm and composed, yet a little stern.
Li Hao was stunned watching from the side. For the first time, he felt Shi Miao's courage and vision, which were completely different from his usual gentle appearance. He seemed like a king climbing a dangerous tower, with a kind of domineering and cold rationality.
Hearing Shi Miao's words, Gu Mofan and the other two had complicated expressions. They knew Shi Miao's identity, but they had never seen the same attitude towards him. Shi Miao's words also reminded them of their master's words, which were almost the same as Shi Miao's, that is, to perfect the way of the emperor as soon as possible and break through to become the emperor before the catastrophe really came.
They looked up at the battlefield in front of them. There were more than a dozen people at the Quasi-Emperor Realm and hundreds at the Perfect Immortal King Realm. In a war of this scale to capture the entire vast Eastern Region, even the Quasi-Emperor Realm could not decide the victory or defeat. Only the Emperor had the ability to influence the situation of the war, but it was only an influence and not a decision.
After all, if there is only one Emperor, it is impossible to capture the Eastern Region.
The True Realm accommodates all races, and the galactic territory of the Eastern Region alone is so vast that it is unimaginable, and not even an emperor can suppress it.
"Emperor Road..."
Emperor Wushe clenched his fists. His path to becoming an emperor had been blocked for twenty thousand years, and he hadn't yet crossed the last threshold. He said he wanted to break through and become an emperor, but how easy was that?
Since ancient times, countless geniuses have been stuck on that last chasm, and could only humble themselves under the Emperor, unable to truly enjoy freedom.
Gu Mofan had calmed down by now. He took a deep breath, glanced at Shi Miao, and said, "Miss Shi Miao is right. Wushe, Qinghuang, you take Junior Brother back first. I'll go to Zulong City to meet Fifth Junior Brother and express Jidao Mountain's determination to come to his aid. I won't participate in the battle, so don't worry."
"I……"
Di Wushe wanted to speak again, but Gu Mofan raised his hand to stop him.
As a member of the imperial family, he was unwilling to come to this battlefield, but fled in disgrace.
"Junior brother!"
Gu Mofan interrupted him with a heavy word, "Junior Brother," and stared at him.
Seeing Gu Mofan's eyes, Di Wushe opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something else, but eventually swallowed it back. He said in a low voice, "Then be careful. We'll go back first."
Seeing that he had compromised, Zhan Qinghuang could only sigh and said nothing more.
Gu Mofan waved his hand and opened up a chaotic passage for them, leading directly to the original real world. After they entered one after another, he turned and rushed towards the Ancestral Dragon City.
Not long after Li Hao and others left, a sword sound resounded through the starry sky from the black hole on the other side of the battlefield. Accompanied by Su Jiuzhe's laughter, a vast ocean of demonic blood suddenly poured out from the black hole. The demonic blood splashed onto the battlefield, and some military formations that were accidentally touched were corroded and melted on the spot.
The blood of the Emperor alone is unbearable even for some Immortal Kings.
The original true world, Jidao Mountain.
Several figures returned and arrived at the top of Jidao Mountain. They were Di Wushe, Li Hao and others who had rushed back.
As soon as they returned to the mountain, the two of them brought Li Hao back to the main hall to report to their master.
Daoyuan Immortal Emperor did not see Gu Mofan, so he asked the reason. Zhan Qinghuang quickly recounted what happened, including Shi Miao's persuasion.
After listening, Daoyuan Immortal Emperor glanced at Shi Miao with a hint of approval in his eyes, and said, "As expected of you, you are Tianzang's favorite disciple. You were one of the Seven Kings back then. It seems that battle left a deep impression on you."
Shi Miao didn't say anything, but his face was expressionless. The impression of that catastrophe was not just deep, but deep in his bones!
"Shi Miao is right. The three of you almost made a mistake due to your impulsiveness. This is the difference in your Dao Hearts. You only have the heart of a pseudo-emperor, but not the heart of a true emperor!"
Daoyuan Immortal Emperor turned his gaze away, his eyes rarely becoming stern. He said, "Feeling aggrieved, resentful, and unwilling... What good can these useless emotions bring you? If you truly feel ashamed, then you should cultivate to the pinnacle. The slaughter, tragic deaths, and countless sacrifices you've witnessed today are less than one percent of what we saw back then!"
"The True World a hundred thousand years ago was so prosperous, yet it was nearly destroyed by the ancient demons, let alone today."
After hearing the master's reprimand, Di Wushe and Zhan Qinghuang's expressions changed slightly. They both realized that the situation outside was serious and that the master had extremely high expectations for them to become emperors.
The true heart of an emperor... Emperor Wushe clenched his fists slightly. As a member of the imperial clan, his master actually said that he did not have the true heart of an emperor.
But he knew that his master was right. He had the most noble imperial blood flowing in his body, but he had not cultivated the true imperial heart. He felt a little ashamed of himself.
"Master, can the Eastern Region really hold on? If all the ancient demons unite and the catastrophe of the past comes again, even if we practice with all our might, there's no guarantee we'll ever reach the pinnacle of the path to becoming an emperor. What if we still haven't become emperor in ten thousand years? Then the Eastern Region..."
Zhan Qinghuang couldn't help but say.
There is no time to judge the path to becoming an emperor. Maybe you will suddenly have an epiphany tomorrow, or maybe you will practice hard for ten thousand years and only gain a tiny amount.
As top geniuses, they used to cultivate at a rapid pace and never encountered any bottlenecks. However, in front of the Emperor, they were trapped for 20,000 years, and each day felt like a year.
"Your worries are pointless. When you're needed, at that crucial moment of life and death, you'll have to fight, no matter if you're at the Quasi-Emperor level or just a young child! But now is not the time. You only need to consider how to continue improving and how to maximize your role in the upcoming battle!"
"As for the rest, there's no point in thinking about it."
Daoyuan Immortal Emperor snorted coldly.
Zhan Qinghuang and Di Wushe were stunned and fell silent.
Li Hao also fell silent, thinking back to the scene in Zulong City in the Eastern Region. In the short time that they were talking, there must have been countless casualties there.
How long can we sustain such losses?
Although he is an Immortal King and can take charge of a region at ordinary times, in such a large-scale life-and-death battle, he is just a big stone that cannot cause too many ripples.
"Haotian."
Daoyuan Immortal Emperor spoke, and his voice brought Li Hao's thoughts back to the hall.
"Master."
Li Hao looked up.
"You also have a great hope of becoming emperor, so don't slack off."
Daoyuan Immortal Emperor said to Li Hao: "Although it was unexpected that I asked you to come back, this kind of thing is not something that the Myriad Races of the True Realm have not considered."
"Um?"
Hearing what his master said, Li Hao was a little confused. Di Wushe and Zhan Qinghuang beside him also looked up and looked at his master.
"Ever since the catastrophe a hundred thousand years ago, when the True Realm was nearly destroyed, how could the myriad races of the True Realm not have considered the possibility of the Ancient Demon Clan making a comeback?"
Daoyuan Immortal Emperor's face was cold and stern. He said, "Now that the war in the Eastern Region has broken out, the emperors of many powerful tribes have recently tacitly agreed to enter a state of war preparedness for all tribes. At the same time, another war preparedness plan has also been activated. True King!"
"True King?"
Li Hao and others were all confused.
