Just then, a masked figure dressed in black robes suddenly appeared in the hall and shouted incessantly.
Upon seeing this, everyone around immediately moved and surrounded the person with serious expressions.
However.
To everyone's surprise, after saying this, the man immediately knelt down in front of Su Bai, and shattered his veil, revealing a weathered, pale-faced middle-aged man.
"Human Emperor, you must not go to the sacred mountain! You must not go to the sacred mountain! Once you go to the sacred mountain, my human race will truly never have a chance to rise again!"
"Are you human?"
At this moment, Wu Zhenyao also noticed the vast aura flowing within this person.
But the middle-aged man didn't answer him; he just kept trying to dissuade Su Bai from going to the sacred mountain.
Upon seeing this, Su Bai frowned, and a massive surge of life force burst forth, instantly flowing into the man's body.
The man's complexion suddenly turned rosy under the blessing of this life force, and the strange, explosive aura around him also subsided at this moment.
Even the anxiety on his face visibly subsided.
"Don't get agitated, tell me slowly." Wu Zhenyao helped him up.
The latter gave him a fist bump and then pulled out a biscuit.
Upon seeing this, a sharp glint suddenly appeared in Su Bai's eyes.
He remembers that cookie very clearly.
this.
It was the cookie he gave to that little girl in Tianxing City.
"Presumably the Emperor himself has recognized the origin of this thing."
"This was given to me by Xiaoxiao. She said that as long as the Emperor sees this cookie, he will believe me."
As the middle-aged man spoke, he took out a golden token covered with marks from swords and knives from his pocket.
To everyone's astonishment, the moment the token appeared, it unleashed an indescribable and ineffable aura of killing intent.
It's as if this token has experienced countless wars and is tainted with the aura of countless battles.
"This is actually the identity token of the Human Emperor's Guard! You... are a member of the Human Emperor's Guard!"
Feng Lili recognized the origin of the token and spoke in a trembling voice.
Even though she tried her best to suppress her excitement and remain rational, she was still shocked when she saw the identity token of the Human Emperor's Guard from nearly a million years ago.
"I never expected that there would still be someone in the Heavenly Realm who could recognize this token."
The middle-aged man gave a bitter laugh, then crushed the token in his hand.
Sizzle...
The shattered token transformed into a golden light, enveloping the middle-aged man.
When the golden light disappeared, the previously dejected middle-aged man had completely shaken off his dejected state. He was now wearing a suit of golden armor, and his entire body exuded an invincible battle aura!
It was as if he alone unleashed the terrifying power of an army of tens or even hundreds of thousands!
Upon seeing this, Su Bai had a thought, and pieces of golden fragments flew through the air and adhered to his body. In the blink of an eye, his body was covered with the dazzling golden Emperor Armor, which was incomparably powerful in battle!
boom!
As soon as the Human Emperor's Battle Armor was formed, it resonated with the golden armor on the middle-aged man's body, exuding an even more powerful aura of slaughter!
Inside the main hall, at this moment, even a pseudo-saint level expert would find it difficult to withstand this killing aura!
The semi-saint level expert was directly suppressed in place by this killing aura and was unable to move!
But at this moment, a unique and vast aura, a sense of standing tall and upright, suddenly burst forth from the bodies of all the humans!
Seeing this, the middle-aged man's eyes filled with tears, and his blood surged with emotion!
"Human Emperor's Guard, Emperor Fifty-Two, pays respects to the Human Emperor!"
Emperor Wushier clasped his hands together, knelt on one knee, and respectfully bowed.
Su Bai went over and helped him up.
"How can one speak of being a human emperor when one has not yet attained enlightenment?"
"No, in the hearts of us remaining Emperor's Guards, you are the Emperor!"
Huang Wushier spoke with a resounding voice, his face firm and determined.
Su Bai didn't speak, but simply removed the Human Emperor Armor.
Upon seeing this, the latter immediately removed the golden armor covering his entire body.
The terrifying aura of killing intent that had been there before also vanished at this moment.
"Tell me, why won't you let me go to the sacred mountain?"
"It's like this..."
Huang Wushi's expression darkened.
From his words, Su Bai also understood the true meaning of the sacred mountain.
It turns out that the so-called sacred mountain, although a place to break through the false saint realm, is also a trap set by the Heavenly Palace!
Anyone who goes there to obtain the sacred mountain's true name will be unknowingly branded with the Celestial Palace's Celestial Mark, thus preventing them from attaining true sainthood. To become a true saint, one can only pass through the Celestial Palace!
In other words, the Celestial Palaces of the Heavens have forcefully cut off the path to becoming a True Saint for all races!
"If that's the case, then we'll never be able to become True Saints in this lifetime!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiutian and the other pseudo-saint powerhouses all changed their expressions.
Huang Wushier said indignantly, "That's how it is. To become a True Saint, one must be allowed by the Celestial Palaces of the Heavens. Otherwise, none of the races at present can enter the realm of True Saint."
"And this is precisely why they have consolidated their position and stood tall in the heavens for nearly a million years!"
"But if we don't go to the sacred mountain, how can we break through to the Pseudo-Saint realm? Is it really only by passing the nine trials that we can break through to the Pseudo-Saint realm?"
Feng Jiutian said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Wushi sighed.
"Nine trials, how difficult they are, but right now, Your Majesty, this is the only way to avoid being restricted by the Celestial Palaces of the Heavens!"
"But can this really succeed?" Feng Lili frowned.
"have!"
Emperor Wu nodded.
"I am anyone in the Human Emperor's Guard who has broken through to become a Pseudo-Saint!"
"Moreover, everyone must remember that nearly a million years ago, the Celestial Palace of the Heavens dispatched a legion of pseudo-saints to kill ten pseudo-saints of our human race, right?"
