On the thirteenth day of the third month in the sixth year of the Great Han, Patriarch Chi Ye and Emperor Chi Ye perished outside the imperial capital of the Chi Ye Imperial Dynasty. The Heavenly Demon race was annihilated, and the Chi Ye Imperial Dynasty declared its demise.
On the fifteenth day of the third month in the sixth year of the Great Han, the Southern Chi Realm, as a whole, was incorporated into the Great Han. Henceforth, all six realms of the Eastern Desolation Continent fell under the dominion of the Great Han, unifying the Eastern Desolation.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host. The White Tiger Legion, in a battle on the West Sea Plains, slew the top Venerable Jian Dong. The Vermillion Bird Legion, in a battle at Chi Guan Pass of the Chi Ye Imperial Dynasty, slew the top Venerable Jian Xi. In the battle at the imperial capital of the Chi Ye Imperial Dynasty, the top Venerable Emperor Chi Ye was slain. Li Guang slew the top Venerable Patriarch Chi Ye, obtaining seven million Dao of Slaughter Value!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host. The White Tiger Legion, in a battle on the West Sea Plains, slew three hundred thousand sword cultivators. The Vermillion Bird Legion and the Azure Dragon Legion, in a battle at the imperial capital of the Chi Ye Imperial Dynasty, annihilated hundreds of thousands of sword cultivators including Jian Dong and Jian Xi, and the Heavenly Demon race, a total of thirty million Dao of Slaughter Value!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host. The White Tiger Legion swept through the Sword God Sacred Land, the Eastern Spirit Realm, with minor skirmishes, obtaining two million Dao of Slaughter Value!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host. Having conquered the Southern Heaven Family, the Chi Ye Imperial Dynasty, and the Sword God Sacred Land, and peacefully accepted the Huoyun Cave of the Myriad Beasts Realm, you have unified the Myriad Beasts Realm, Central Yuan Realm, Eastern Spirit Realm, and Southern Chi Realm, obtaining two billion Faith Value!"
"Ding! Alerting the host, the Grand Treasures of National Destiny, the Nine Cauldrons, the Xuanyuan Sword, and the Human Emperor Stele, have automatically extracted half of the Faith Value to consolidate National Destiny!"
"Ding! The host currently has seventy-nine million Dao of Slaughter Value remaining, and twelve hundred and fifty million Faith Value!!"
"Ding! Alerting the host, the Human Emperor Stele has reached its current limit for bearing National Destiny!"
"Ding! Main Mission: The Savage Realm, one of the six realms of the Eastern Desolation Continent, is the place of exile for the Myriad Beasts Realm and the most barren land of the six realms. The host shall annex the vast territories of the six realms to establish the foundation of an Imperial Dynasty!"
"Ding! Main Mission now achieved. Successful reward: Three summons of ancient heroes!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host. With the unification of the six realms of the Eastern Desolation Continent, the imperial enterprise is complete. A Main Mission is now issued: Within one month, ascend to the Imperial Dynasty. Reward: The Nine Cauldrons of National Destiny will be upgraded by one level!"
"What?"
In the imperial palace of Chang'an City of the Great Han, Yang Hao suddenly stood up. The Great Han Dynasty ascending to the Imperial Dynasty would be rewarded with a level one upgrade for the Nine Cauldrons of National Destiny!
What a concept!
At that time, it cost a full four hundred million Faith Value to upgrade the Nine Cauldrons of National Destiny to level eight. Now, to upgrade them to level nine would cost a full six hundred million Faith Value.
Six hundred million Faith Value. At that time, Yang Hao consumed six hundred million Faith Value just to enter the Divine Cultivation realm. Now, after unifying the Eastern Desolation Continent, and with half of the Faith Value extracted by the Nine Cauldrons of National Destiny, the Human Emperor Stele, and the Xuanyuan Sword to consolidate National Destiny, he currently has only twelve hundred million Faith Value.
Twelve hundred million Faith Value is enough for him to break through the bottleneck of the Divine Cultivation realm and step into the Venerable realm. However, to further consolidate the National Destiny of the Great Han Dynasty and enhance its foundation comprehensively, the Nine Cauldrons of National Destiny must be upgraded.
Level nine, with a consumption of six hundred million Faith Value. If not for the system issuing the Main Mission at this moment, his pace, and even the pace of the Great Han Dynasty, would have slowed down considerably.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, as Yang Hao was preparing to use the three opportunities to summon ancient heroes from the Main Mission reward, he suddenly detected the auras of two top Venerables flashing faintly above the sea east of the Eastern Desolation Continent.
"Truly, what is the origin of this Great Han Dynasty that it shattered all our teleportation arrays, forcing us to travel arduously before we reached the near seas of the Eastern Desolation Continent."
"Man Yun, you say that the Sword God Sacred Land, painstakingly supported by Emperor Man, is now utterly defeated. The Eastern Spirit Realm is lost, and the foundation of the clan is depleted. I truly don't know what capability Jian Chen possesses to gain Emperor Man's favor!"
Man Jin said angrily, looking towards the horizon that was gradually appearing in the distance.
"That is not something you or I can control. The Demon race is watching. Do you think Emperor Man would turn a blind eye if he didn't act like this?"
"Perhaps our Barbarian race would have been engaged in a bloody war with the Demon race long ago!"
"Then fight, are we afraid of their Demon race?"
Man Jin roared, quite unconvinced.
"Heh heh!"
Man Yun sneered, "Man Jin, one must not underestimate anything. Until the Supreme Hall emerges, the core seeds of the four continents cannot be condensed. What is the use of taking pains to conquer the Eastern Desolation Continent if we cannot obtain the core seeds?"
"It would merely be weaving wedding clothes for others!"
"The Supreme Hall is about to emerge, isn't it?"
Man Jin's expression became solemn as he looked at Man Yun beside him and said in a deep voice.
"Mm!"
Man Yun frowned and looked at the sky in the distance. "It should be soon. The Eastern Desolation is unified, and the Northern Region's Heavenly God Mountain is about to crush the Ice Snow Palace. Everything is in preparation for the emergence of the Supreme Hall. It should not be long."
"When the Supreme Hall emerges, the heavens and earth will split open a small crack, and the essence of heaven and earth will flow out, allowing the core seeds of the continents to condense on the four continents. Only when the core seeds appear will true opportunities descend!"
"Roar~~"
Just as the two were crossing the sea, the void trembled, and layers of golden waves covered the azure sea. Above the void, nine golden dragons churned in the highest heavens, and a phantom figure, ten thousand feet tall, wearing a crown and a dragon robe, slowly materialized.
"Om~~"
Within the Xuanyuan Sword, ten thousand feet of sword energy intertwined, causing the heavens and earth to rumble, as if thousands of thunder pools were being nurtured within the scabbard.
"Who?"
Man Jin's face turned pale. Looking at Yang Hao in the void, he frowned and said, "In the Eastern Desolation Continent, the one wearing imperial robes now is likely the Lord of the Human Emperor of the Great Han, right?"
"Human Emperor of the Great Han?"
The crown concealed his face, and streaks of golden dragon might coiled around him. A trace of Human Emperor aura made the two top Venerables, Man Jin and Man Yun, dare not underestimate him in the slightest. Even when their Yuan energy probed forward, it was like falling into an immeasurably dark abyss, impossible to fathom.
The ten-thousand-foot golden figure had his eyes closed, not responding at all to Man Yun and Man Jin. The golden figure raised his right hand towards the Xuanyuan Sword at his waist and gripped the hilt!
The heavens and earth thundered!
In the Eastern Desolation Continent, nine ten-thousand-foot golden dragons appeared from all directions, faintly visible. They emerged from the nine cauldrons in Chang'an, roamed the four seas, and then merged back into the nine cauldrons, nurturing the fertile earth of the four directions!
Although the ten-thousand-foot golden body did not speak, the imposing Human Emperor aura that suppressed the sea pressed down upon the two, proclaiming that the ten-thousand-foot golden body was none other than Yang Hao, the Lord of the Great Han Dynasty, the Human Emperor of the Great Han.
"Human race!"
"How dare you! You dare to disrespect this Venerable! You seek death!"
Man Jin became enraged. Such an arrogant Human Emperor of the Great Han, since his appearance, had kept his eyes closed and had not looked at him.
A top Venerable, how could he endure such humiliation!
A giant battle-axe materialized in his right hand, stirring up layers of bloody seas. Just as he was gathering momentum, Man Yun beside him grabbed him, his eyes fixed intently on Man Jin.
