"Good!"
"Bring the man here!"
"My lord, spare me, spare me! I was just working for the Human Emperor, spare me, please, spare me!"
As Qian Cun's voice fell, two soldiers of the Four-Eyed tribe escorted a human warrior dressed in a Flying Fish Robe into the main hall.
Upon entering, he cried out in pleading.
Nantian Guanyu watched the human in the Flying Fish Robe with a calm gaze. His divine sense probed forward but was met with a powerful resistance from Yuan Li, preventing it from advancing even half a step.
"What does a mere Flying Fish Robe prove?"
"Patriarch Nantian, please take a look!"
Qian Cun produced a yellow scroll.
After Nantian Guanyu opened it, the entire scroll was filled with contempt for the Nantian family, plotting to join forces with the Xiling Imperial Dynasty to carve up the Central Yuan Realm.
"You Han, how dare you!"
"My lord, spare my life!"
"My lord, spare my life!"
"This is all my Human Emperor's will, it has nothing to do with me, nothing to do with me!"
"My lord, I also know some things that concern you. As long as you spare my life, I will tell you everything!"
"Speak!"
Nantian Puhe grabbed the Flying Fish Robe human by the neck.
"My lord!"
"The Human Emperor of You Han has repeatedly declared that the Nantian family is a disgrace to the human race, cowering in the Eastern Wilderness, not seeking strength for humanity, but only... only..."
"Only what?"
Nantian Puhe's eyes blazed with anger.
"Only seeking power and profit. How can such a person who only seeks petty gains compare to him!"
"He led You Han to rise from the southwestern seas, pushing forward step by step, and finally incorporated it into the Eastern Wilderness. In just a few short years, he is not someone that Nantian Guanyu or the Nantian family can be compared to!"
"He, Yang Hao, is the true orthodox Human Emperor!"
"Humanity must revere him!"
"Yang Hao!"
"Boom!"
Nantian Puhe crushed the human's skull and roared with bloodshot eyes, "Patriarch, that brat Yang Hao is lawless and scorns my Nantian family!"
"I request to exterminate the You Han Imperial Dynasty and restore the glory of my Nantian world!"
"This indeed sounds like something the Human Emperor of You Han would do. Only he could commit such audacious acts," Yuwen Yongyan said coldly. "The Human Emperor of You Han exterminated my Dragon King lineage, which is utterly arrogant. Brother Guanyu, do you wish to join me?"
"I only care about Yang Hao's death. As for the countless humans, you may decide their fate. My Chiye Imperial Dynasty will not interfere!"
Nantian Guanyu's eyes were calm. He then saw a large seal at the corner of the yellow scroll, bearing the inscription "Mandated by Heaven, Eternal and Prosperous!"
"You Han!"
"Nantian Puhe, go and exterminate the Savage lineage for me!"
"My Nantian family is the true orthodoxy of humanity!"
"The Human Emperor of You Han's hands are also stained with the blood of a Venerable from my Xiling Imperial Dynasty. If you two do not abandon this matter, my Xiling Imperial Dynasty is also willing to go to the Savage Realm together, kill the Human Emperor of You Han, and restore peace to the Eastern Wilderness!"
Qian Cun sneered. The Eastern Wilderness Continent had been peaceful for millions of years; it was time for some chaos. With the Nantian family and the Chiye Imperial Dynasty attacking simultaneously, You Han had no escape. Once You Han was destroyed, the Huoyun Cave would inevitably attack the two major powers.
The flames of war would spread, and by using You Han as a pawn, the three top powers could be weakened. Yang Hao, your death is not in vain!
...
"Commander, these two golden pillars of light have been active for two days. Could they be similar to Wuyang, forming a teleportation array?"
In the northernmost part of the You Han Imperial Dynasty, Qi Jiguang and Li Wenzhong looked at a broken space in a basin, where two golden pillars of light shot up into the sky, reaching the heavens.
"Doesn't seem like it," Qi Jiguang shook his head. "Has Lord Yuan arrived?"
Li Wenzhong glanced in the direction of Chang'an City and said calmly, "He should be here within the hour!"
"General Qi, General Li!"
Half an hour later, Yuan Tiangang, holding a whisk, hurried over and said urgently, "I have imperial orders, I apologize for keeping you waiting!"
"It's nothing. Lord Yuan, look at that broken space and those golden pillars of light. What exactly are they?"
Yuan Tiangang's expression was tense. "This Yuan Li fluctuation carries hints of imperial aura!"
"No!"
"No!"
"All the dragon veins in the Savage Realm have been severed by me. The dragon veins of the entire realm are converging towards Chang'an. How can there be imperial aura here?"
"Strange!"
"Strange!"
"This imperial aura is extremely powerful, far beyond what the rulers of the ten great imperial dynasties could cultivate. Generals, please look."
Yuan Tiangang extended his hand and probed the void. The two golden pillars of light instantly revealed streaks of dragon energy, but the dragon energy was continuously weakening, faintly showing a tiger-like aura.
"Strange!"
"The Way of the Emperor, cultivating such pure and rare imperial aura, is incredibly precious. Who would be so careless as to turn imperial aura into the aura of a king or marquis?"
"Generals, this matter is very peculiar. This aura is fluctuating between the levels of top-tier Yu Shen and Venerable, possibly on the verge of breaking through!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Inside the Imperial Dynasty's secret treasure, a golden silhouette of thirty feet stood like a divine pillar in the void, emitting continuous, thunderous sounds.
"Soon, Xu Chu, you must hold on!"
Emperor Wu looked at the golden silhouette. It was the result of the Great Emperor's skeleton completely attaching itself to Xu Chu's body. At this moment, the bloodstains alternated between light and dark, like a cycle. With each exchange, drops of blood dripped from Xu Chu.
When he suppressed Wuyang, he had sealed himself. The Great Emperor's skeleton had been nurtured by the blood of generations of emperors for millions of years, possessing immense Yuan Li. This was originally reserved for himself, but unfortunately, the expanding Yuan Li was beyond his endurance.
He could only place his hope in Xu Chu, to reach the Venerable realm and find a chance for his own survival.
"Roar!"
A tiger's roar shook the void of the secret treasure, causing dense cracks to appear, like a mirror. Golden light filled the cracks.
"Ah~~"
The entire secret realm was covered by a vast golden Yuan Li, and streaks of kingly aura grew increasingly terrifying within the golden ocean.
As the golden light surged, a nine-foot-tall man slowly appeared!
"Roar!"
With a mighty roar, the golden ocean covering the entire secret realm instantly turned blood-red. The sea of blood churned, and all imperial aura dissipated.
"It's done!"
"It's done!"
"Hahaha!"
Emperor Wu wept tears of joy. He couldn't believe that the path he had explored was so perfectly suited to the Cangyuan World. Seeing Xu Chu's success, he was genuinely happy from the bottom of his heart.
"Whoosh!!"
Xu Chu stepped out of the sea of blood. He clenched his right fist, and the dense cracks in the entire secret realm instantly disappeared.
The sea of blood that obscured the secret realm also rippled.
"Venerable Realm!"
Xu Chu felt the vast Yuan Li within himself. After years of waiting, he had finally achieved it. He spread out his armor, his skin still showing a golden skeleton. It shifted from gold to red, then from red to gold.
He had not completely fused with the Great Emperor's skeleton, but his current strength was sufficient!
