"Liang Lin, Liang Fang."
Yang Hao said faintly.
"Your servant is here!"
Two people walked in from outside the Tongtian Hall and bowed respectfully.
"Enfeoff Liang Lin as the Flying Tiger General and Liang Fang as the Valiant General, to accompany Crown Prince Yang Chen on a tour of the five continents of the Great Han Divine Dynasty!"
Yang Hao pondered. The three human races, the Yun clan, the Great Yin, and the Ye family, had long since declined and were no match for second-tier powers like the Blackwater Immortal Dynasty, having gone through internal strife and a thousand years of decline. The Yun clan had already joined the Great Han Divine Dynasty. Yang Hao no longer paid attention to the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty. As for the Ye family, with three Creation Profound Sovereigns, Yang Hao could not fathom them.
The Immortal Lord's lineage had inherited a great deal from the Ye family. Since the War of the Gods until now, they still controlled the most prosperous region of Northern Nether. Yang Hao guessed that behind the Ye family, there must be even more powerful beings guarding them, or perhaps they still possessed the killing techniques left by the Immortal Lord.
Within half a month, they would sweep away the two great forces, then continue their conquest of the Southern Marsh and Eastern Remote lands, gradually expanding their territory and strengthening their power. By then, they would decide who would participate in the Human Race Grand Ceremony!
...
"Jiang Zuo Cheng, Hong Shan, the two of you actually didn't die in the City of Immortality?"
Great Yin Immortal Dynasty.
In the Imperial Palace Hall of Jiujing City.
The Great Yin Immortal Emperor's eyes widened in surprise as he saw the two figures appearing in the hall. The battle in the City of Immortality was a bloody conflict where even supreme giants had fallen. These two, merely at the Great Heavenly Venerate realm, had actually returned alive.
"You four races are openly instigating a planar war, and all Immortal Lord forces are fighting you. Yet, you two stand before me brazenly. Are you not afraid that I will slay you here?"
The Great Yin Immortal Emperor's eyes turned fierce. Nine dragons roared forth, their dragon might vast, filling Jiujing City with golden divine light.
"Hahaha, Great Yin Immortal Emperor, haven't you seen through the current situation yet?"
Jiang Zuo Cheng's face turned cold as he looked at the Great Yin Immortal Emperor. His profound divine power directly tore apart the national destiny, and he spoke again, "The great trend of the world, after a long period of division, unites, and after a long period of union, divides. The era of the Immortal Lords has officially ended, and a new era is quietly rising. Southern Marsh's Candle Tomb, Northern Nether's Northern Nether Sea, Eastern Remote's City of Immortality, the Wang family and the four clans have taken the lead at every step. Lord Zhu has already been unsealed and will soon rule the world, suppressing all who disobey!"
"As for you, humph humph humph, that old fogey Yun Yi has occupied the position of Human Lord for half an era. The battle in the Central Plains is in a stalemate. The Wang family and the four clans want to finish quickly. To eliminate us four clans, they have already sent invitations for reinforcements to the immortal sects. Now do you know why Yun Yi wants to re-select the Human Co-Lord!"
"What do you want to say?"
The Great Yin Immortal Emperor's face sank, and he withdrew his imperial aura.
"We can help you ascend to the position of Human Co-Lord!" Hong Shan coldly smiled, looking at the Great Yin Immortal Emperor on the throne, and said again, "The human race has been through internal strife and is divided into three parts. However, the Yun clan's Yun Shan has awakened the True Phoenix bloodline and has also recruited three great human prodigies, Geng Yan, Zhang Hao, and Deng Qiang, from somewhere!"
"The Yun clan has already revived. As for the Ye family, they inherited the mantle of the Immortal Lord. Even after experiencing the human race's civil war, their foundation has not been greatly damaged. The three elders of the Ye family are all human prodigies, who have reached the realm of supreme Profound Sovereign. Recently, we discovered that the thirty-sixth generation Supreme Elder of the Ye family did not perish in the river of history but was suppressed within the Ye family ancestral hall."
"Are you saying?"
The Great Yin Immortal Emperor stood up with a bang, his face filled with terror, his lips trembling, "Are you saying Ye Fei is still alive?"
Ye Fei!
The thirty-sixth generation Supreme Elder of the Ye family!
That era's human prodigy, who reached the realm of Creation Profound Sovereign in a mere two million years, swept through the human prodigies of all the veins of Northern Nether, and officially contended with the beings of his era across the planes!
Ye Fei traveled south, and no one could match him. However, a million years after Ye Fei left Northern Nether, in the Eastern Remote land, his blood qi suddenly depleted. After returning to the Human Realm, in just thirty thousand years, the Ye family announced the news of Ye Fei's death!
"Indeed!"
Jiang Zuo Cheng said, "Back then, Ye Fei's halo was too dazzling. In just two million years, he reached the realm of Creation Profound Sovereign, posing a great threat to us four clans. His blood qi scattering was due to the Spirit Devouring Blood Array we laid. We thought he would perish then, but we never expected the Ye family to use the Immortal Lord's great array to suppress him in the ancestral hall. Ye Fei, at the cost of a great sacrifice of self-inflicted realm severance, dispersed the aftereffects of the spirit devouring."
"Now, after being nurtured by the great array, we hear that the Spirit Devouring Blood Array has been repaired. The damage inflicted upon him back then will soon be unleashed, and he will come out to fight for the position of Human Co-Lord for the Ye family!"
"You tell me, does your Great Yin Immortal Dynasty still have hope?"
"What do you want? Even if my Great Yin Immortal Dynasty cannot compete and loses to the Ye family, that is still a matter for our human race. It is not for you to interfere!" The Great Yin Immortal Emperor's face was pale.
"It's nothing? The Ye family's ambition, I believe you know it better than we four clans. If it weren't for that incident in the Ye family back then, how could your human race have declined!"
Hong Shan said calmly, "If you are willing to cooperate with us and surrender to Lord Zhu, this Void Demonic Heart will be yours!"
As he spoke, he took out a blood box carved with a black skull, emitting wisps of void demonic energy. A thumping sound kept coming from the blood box.
"Void Demonic Heart!!!" The Great Yin Immortal Emperor instantly stood up, as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Indeed, it is the Void Demonic Heart. It is enough to allow you to reach the realm of top-tier Creation Profound Sovereign, bestow upon you extremely powerful cultivation talent, align you with the Great Dao, and possess the battle prowess of a prodigy who can fight beyond their realm!"
"If you surrender and pledge allegiance to Lord Zhu, this will be yours!" Hong Shan opened the blood box, revealing a heart lying inside, beating vigorously, with visible veins transporting wisps of demonic energy.
"With this, contending for the position of Human Co-Lord will be a sure thing. With the might of the Human Co-Lord, you will unite all the human races, sweep across Northern Nether, and you will have a place in the next era!"
"Human Co-Lord?"
The Great Yin Immortal Emperor looked at the beating heart, unable to avert his gaze. Slowly, his clear eyes began to turn blood red.
"Roar roar roar!!"
The heart in Hong Shan's hand suddenly roared, transforming into several streams of dense void energy, carrying black and red gas, surging into the Great Yin Immortal Emperor's soul sea. Instantly, a red skull appeared at the position of his forehead, flickered three times, and then disappeared.
"Is this power?"
Half an hour later, the Great Yin Immortal Emperor extended his right hand and gently clenched it. The entire void of Jiujing City was firmly grasped in his hand. As long as he willed it, in less than the time it takes to breathe, he could make the entire Jiujing City, or even an entire Dao Prefecture, disappear completely.
