The figures of the two retreated several steps, their bodies pounding. The powerful offensive left their blood churning. In just one encounter, they knew the newcomer's strength was formidable and terrifying!
Yet, upon a closer look, they were stunned to see it was only Meng Juehai, a being in the Golden Immortal realm. How could a Golden Immortal wielding an unparalleled immortal treasure suppress them, two Immortal Lords?
"Who are you?"
They stared intently at the figure clad in crimson qilin armor, their eyes filled with apprehension. Despite being a Golden Immortal, that single strike was undoubtedly superior to their combined combat power!
"Meng Juehai, a general of the Qilin Legion of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty!"
"Die!"
Meng Juehai roared at the two, raising his unparalleled immortal treasure, the Tiger Head Black Gold Spear. A qilin's roar split the sea of flames, and a red spear intent flashed forth!
The speed of the spear, the ferocity of its eruption, made the two Immortal Lords falter. This spear intent was even faster, more violent, and sharper. Its flashing trajectory was impossible to track!
"Damn it! What is the origin of this Great Han Immortal Dynasty? Where did such a powerful being come from?!"
One of the Immortal Lords roared in anger. It was too fast. He, a powerful Immortal Lord, could not discern or track the assault of a mere Golden Immortal.
"Divine Fire Slaughter!"
The enraged Immortal Lord stepped forward, a fiery feather fan materializing in his hand. With one sweep, celestial fire descended. With a second sweep, a sea of flames engulfed the surroundings. With the third sweep, a thousand-zhang fire blade condensed from the sea of flames, charging towards them with a heat that could incinerate everything!
Boom!
Within the sea of flames, the soaring spear shadow condensed into a divine beast qilin. With every breath, the surrounding sea of flames was manipulated by the qilin. With a roar from the divine beast, the fiery fan in the Immortal Lord's hand shattered.
In the Immortal Lord's shocked gaze, a sky-piercing spear intent, burning with terrifying flames, approached his pupils.
"No!"
The other Immortal Lord cried out urgently, but before he could even raise his hand, the spear light directly pierced the head of that Immortal Lord. His powerful Immortal Lord's blood essence was completely absorbed and refined by the Tiger Head Black Gold Spear.
"Not a single one will escape!"
As the spear shadow dispersed, Meng Juehai turned and unleashed another spear strike towards the heavens. The Immortal Lord, at this moment, hastily brought out three immortal treasures – one divine-level immortal treasure and two unparalleled immortal treasures. His offense and defense were pushed to their limits, pouring in all his strength to block the terrifying spear light!
The light of the three immortal treasures was like that of fireflies, fleeting like a blossom. The three immortal treasures shattered directly, and the sky-piercing spear light shattered all resistance.
Rumble!
The spear light that broke through everything, along with the divine-level immortal treasure warship beneath the Immortal Lord's feet, completely vanished under this spear strike!
"Kill!"
"Annihilate the enemy!"
Over this sea area, the flames gradually extinguished. Dozens of warships crashed and collided, splashing blood. After Meng Juehai slew the two great Immortal Lords, he returned to Zhou Yu's side and issued orders. In less than half an hour, the battle in this area was drawing to a close!
The creatures sent by the Six Fire Sect and Qingyang Sect were not numerous. They had not come to occupy the territory of the Nine Realms, but merely to investigate the matter of Dragon Burial Island.
With the end of this incident, the fame of Chang Yuchun and Meng Juehai gradually spread.
Due to the mysterious suppression of the curse in the coastal areas of the Nine Realms, the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty and the Purple Thunder Sect, for self-preservation, did not send further verification teams.
As time passed, several months flew by. The Purple Thunder Sect learned that the Ancient Immortal Emperor had embarked on the Ancient Star Road. As the Ancient Sage Emperor sought to further consolidate his rule, the Purple Thunder Sect began to shift its focus to this matter, putting the affairs of the Nine Realms aside.
The Six Fire Sect and Qingyang Sect in the Blazing Flame Realm had been embroiled in constant conflict for these past few months, with friction almost daily. The Qingyang Sect steadily tested the Six Fire Sect's limits, and the conflict between the two sects intensified, leaving them with no desire to concern themselves with the Nine Realms.
Thus, time sped by, and it was the seventh day of the first month in the 178th year of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty.
Over the past eighty-six years, under the leadership of Li Si and Xiao He, the creatures under the control of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty in the Nine Realms experienced a minor surge in their cultivation realms. Over several decades, according to court records, a total of 302 beings had ascended to the True Immortal realm.
Under the court's favorable policies aimed at benefiting the populace, the beings living in the Nine Realms had completely submitted to the court. Over these decades, Yang Hao had also obtained many precious spiritual materials from the blind boxes. He had selected some cultivation resources that could be widely promoted, winning the hearts of many.
The Nine Realms under the rule of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty had surpassed the era of coexistence of several major powers decades ago. During this period, Yang Hao's own cultivation realm, through self-cultivation, had reached the peak of True Immortal. Of course, many of his heroes had also made significant improvements, with seventeen heroes, such as Hou Junji and Zhang Zai, achieving ascension!
Forty years ago, Consort Yun, Yun Shan, gave birth to a daughter for Yang Hao. This child possessed the bloodline of a True Phoenix, and on the day of her birth, birds from all directions paid homage!
Yang Hao was overjoyed. He named the child Yang Ying and bestowed upon her the title of Princess Hanyue!
While the Great Han Immortal Dynasty was flourishing and striving to expand its power, the Six Fire Sect and Qingyang Sect in the Blazing Flame Realm were engaged in a brutal war.
Fifty years ago, under the planning of the Qingyang Sect Leader, they advanced 80,000 li into the territory of the Six Fire Sect. Along the way, corpses piled up like mountains, and blood flowed like rivers. The disciples of the Qingyang Sect fought valiantly, pushing the Six Fire Sect to the brink of desperation. Finally, ten years ago, the Six Fire Sect Leader, with no other choice, used his last Emperor-tier immortal treasure to slay one Immortal King and five Immortal Lords of the Qingyang Sect.
After deploying the last Emperor-tier immortal treasure, the Qingyang Sect Leader did not pursue their victory but chose to retreat. They waited for ten years. After a decade of dedicating all their sect's efforts, the Qingyang Sect had once again gathered three million troops and launched a final offensive against the Six Fire Sect.
As for the Purple Thunder Sect's four elders who led their army and withdrew eighty-six years ago, they had not descended upon the Nine Realms again. Intelligence gathered by the Embroidered Uniform Guard indicated that the Ancient Immortal Emperor had entered the Ancient Star Road. Without the suppression of the Immortal Emperor, the Red Sun Sect, Flying Immortal Sect, Profound Saint Immortal Dynasty, and Purple Thunder Sect, all of whom were subservient to the Ancient Sage Court, were desperately scheming to become the Ancient Sage Emperor's trusted forces, deeply embroiled in a vortex of power and unable to extricate themselves.
As for the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, a human realm separated by sea from the Great Han Immortal Dynasty to the north, a significant stir had occurred.
