The two rose to fame for the Phoenix tribes, even at the brink of their racial survival, leading the two Phoenix tribes back to the pinnacle of powerful forces in the Immortal Realm!
Their nine children, born from their union, also roamed all directions, their might unparalleled. All nine were top-tier Quasi-Emperor realm beings. Especially the sixth child, Kong Xuan, who was acclaimed as the foremost beneath the Immortal Emperors!
If Immortal Emperors did not appear,
The Great Peacock Ming King alone could pacify the Immortal Realm!
"Your mother is right. This Immortal Emperor aura has never appeared within the Immortal Realm. The aura is potent; even from such a distance, it retains such a profound imperial presence. Their strength must surpass ours. For now, inform the beings of the Feng Prefecture realm not to venture towards that direction..."
The man's voice rang out. Although he did not directly identify the owner of this imperial presence, he revealed the being's immense power.
To be so regarded and cautious by these two, how many Emperor's destinies did this unknown Immortal Emperor control, and how far had they journeyed on the path of an Emperor...
...
"Who is it!!"
In the Seven Stars Realm, Seven Stars Immortal Emperor Ye Xuan's entire body jolted. Although the might from Li Yuanba was shattered by his hand, his physical body and soul had suffered immense injuries. Especially at the corners of his eyes, drops of black blood dripped down as he gazed in the direction from which Li Yuanba's imperial presence emanated.
"The direction of the eternally weak prefecture!"
"How is this possible!"
Disbelief flashed in his eyes as he exclaimed, "How can such a powerful Immortal Emperor emerge from there!"
Even if he stood in that very spot, his imperial presence would not extend over such a vast distance.
Far away in the Immortal Realm, Void Immortal Emperor of the Demon Abyss Realm also stared fixedly in the direction of Li Yuanba's imperial presence. His blood energy was currently greatly weakened, and his eyes were filled with fear.
The eternally weak prefecture had produced several Immortal Emperors since the Era of Emperors, but they had all perished on the Ancient Star Path, never releasing the powerful majesty befitting an Immortal Emperor.
In the current eternally weak prefecture, ten thousand years ago, an Immortal Emperor named Ancient Immortal Emperor was born. He established the Ancient Immortal Heavenly Court. Before entering the Ancient Star Path, he only bore one Emperor's destiny granted by the Great Dao. How could such a weak place give rise to such a powerful aura!
In the depths of his perception, he detected an extremely familiar bloodline. When his clone, who had ventured to the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, perished, he had intercepted a trace of this bloodline from the River of Time. However, he dared not ponder further; this imperial presence was truly terrifying, a powerful being that could rampage anywhere in the Immortal Realm!
Boom!
Above Dragon Burial Island, the Immortal Emperor's might conveyed by Li Yuanba's two words of kneeling shook countless territories of the Immortal Realm. Numerous powerful Immortal Emperors knelt, prostrating before Li Yuanba. The immense imperial presence descended, causing the Emperor Corpse's body to tremble violently as it knelt in the void. Strands of black gas detached from the Emperor Corpse's body. With the kowtow of those knees in the void, this millennium-old corpse directly dissipated into the void.
In an instant, the powerful imperial presence that had enveloped countless territories vanished, and the source of all power returned to Li Yuanba's body!
Boom!
Threads of aura flowed into Li Yuanba's eyes. The Dragon Burial Island, which had been torn asunder, completely disappeared from the Sea of Realms.
The surging waves concealed the area, and a faint golden light enveloped the waters near the Great Han Immortal Dynasty!
The curse!
This power that instilled fear in countless beings within the Sea of Realms of the Immortal Realm completely vanished from the coastal areas of the Nine Realms.
After Li Yuanba bowed respectfully to Yang Hao, he dissipated into the air. The painting tightly held by Li Bai also scattered with the wind. Flecks of golden light, falling, appeared directly over the coastal waters of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty!
"Your subject, Li Bai!"
"Your subject, Qi Jiguang!"
"Salutes the Emperor Venerable, may the Emperor Venerable live for ten thousand years, ten thousand times ten thousand years!"
As Li Bai and Qi Jiguang bowed to Yang Hao's golden form, the pressure that had enveloped Confucius and Dean Zhang completely dissipated. Because of Dean Zhang's kind reminder before the Dragon Burial Immortal Emperor's secret treasury opened, Yang Hao had not ordered the army to attack the Sacred Academy in the Sacred Land Realm.
Currently, all of the Nine Realms, except for the Sacred Academy, were under the control of the Great Han.
"Confucius is willing to pledge the Sacred Academy's allegiance to the Great Han!"
"Emperor Venerable lives for ten thousand years, ten thousand times ten thousand years!"
Confucius's heart was in turmoil. With a single sentence, he made the Emperor Corpse of the Dragon Burial Immortal Emperor, who controlled eighteen Emperor's destinies, kneel. With that same sentence, it turned to dust.
"Effective immediately, the Sacred Academy is abolished, and the Nine Realms are unified!"
Yang Hao declared, and his golden form dispersed into the void.
...
In mid-January of the ninety-second year of the Great Han, the matter of the Dragon Burial Immortal Emperor's secret treasury was declared concluded. Among the beings who entered the treasury, including the Six Fires Sect, Qingyang Sect, Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, and Purple Lightning Sect, all perished except for Li Bai, Qi Jiguang, Confucius, and Dean Zhang. The Dragon Burial Island also sank.
For the Purple Lightning Sect, their army had already sailed out of the coastal waters of the Southern End Realm and was advancing towards the coastal waters of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty.
After Confucius returned to the Sacred Academy, he learned that the Great Han Immortal Dynasty had annihilated the Southern Heaven Immortal Dynasty, Vajra Temple, and other forces. With the stationing of the Great Han legions, the Sacred Land Realm became Han territory.
A decree was issued from Chang'an, abolishing the names of the Heavenly Treasure Realm, Southern Heaven Realm, and others, and redividing them into prefectures. For external affairs, it would still be called the Nine Realms!
Upon hearing of the demise of Xia Hou Ni Yun, Great Yu Emperor Venerable was enraged. He had also been terrified by the heavenly phenomena on Dragon Burial Island that day. With his intimate knowledge of the Nine Realms, he directed all his suspicions towards the ethereal Emperor Corpse of the Dragon Burial Immortal Emperor.
Especially after learning that the Saintess of the Six Fires Sect and Nan Tianxun of the Southern Heaven Immortal Dynasty had also perished within, Great Yu Emperor Venerable's conviction was further solidified. Only the appearance of the legendary Emperor Corpse could explain the annihilation of these two who wielded Emperor-grade immortal treasures.
Facing the terrifying Emperor Corpse, he dared not act rashly. He directly ordered his four Immortal Lord generals to lead a five-hundred-thousand-strong army south to investigate the matter thoroughly.
The Six Fires Sect's reaction was even greater than that of Great Yu Emperor Venerable, as they had lost an Emperor-grade immortal treasure. Of the three Emperor-grade immortal treasures left by the Blazing Flame Immortal Emperor, only one remained. To prevent the Qingyang Sect from taking advantage of the situation, they could only dispatch two Immortal Lord elders and three thousand disciples to the Nine Realms.
Upon hearing that the Six Fires Sect had lost an Emperor-grade immortal treasure, everyone from the Sect Master to the ordinary disciples of the Qingyang Sect rejoiced. This Emperor-grade immortal treasure was like a colossal, indestructible mountain peak that always loomed over the beings of the Qingyang Sect, for fear that one day it would descend and their sect would be destroyed.
