In the 357th year of the Great Han Dynasty, February.
Xue Rengui and Yang Zaixing of the Great Han Heavenly Court descended upon the core territory of the Tun Tian Palace. In the Tian Yuan battle, the Sun Swallowing Immortal Emperor perished! The Demon Suppressing Immortal Emperor perished!
In the Southern Boundary Sea of the Tun Tian Palace, Lü Bu of the Great Han Heavenly Court slew the Heaven Suppressing Immortal Emperor and the Heaven Sealing Immortal Emperor of the Tiangang Ancient Court.
Within a single day, four Immortal Emperors fell in the northern Immortal Realm!
Upon hearing the news, the four corners of the Immortal Realm were shaken. Before this event, all beings speculated about the Great Han Heavenly Court's intentions as the Vermillion Bird Legion marched north.
Now, with the fall of the four emperors and the appearance of the Vermillion Bird Legion in the Southern Boundary Sea of the Tun Tian Palace, the target of the Great Han Heavenly Court's Vermillion Bird Legion marching north was crystal clear!
In the mid-February of the 357th year of the Great Han Dynasty, in just seven or eight days, the thirteen boundary realms controlled by the Tun Tian Palace fell into the hands of the Great Han Heavenly Court. The Tun Tian Palace in the northern Immortal Realm was annihilated! Zhuge Liang led the Vermillion Bird Legion to station there. The thirteen boundary realms were named Qian Zhou by the Great Han Heavenly Emperor Yang Hao!
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for annihilating the Tun Tian Palace and controlling thirteen boundary realms!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining one thousand strands of Fortune and Merit points, and two hundred and thirty billion strands of Slaughter points!"
"Ding! Reminding the Host, the nation's ultimate treasures, the Nine Cauldrons of Fortune, the Twelve Golden Men, the Immortal Dynasty Jade Seal, the Emperor Supreme Immortal Tablet, and the Xuanyuan Sword have converted half of their Fortune and Merit points to suppress the Great Han Holy Court's national destiny!"
"Ding! Reminding the Host, the Host's subordinate Fortune and Merit points total seven hundred and thirty billion strands, Slaughter points total four hundred billion strands, and the power of reincarnation is zero strands!"
"System, upgrade the Nine Cauldrons of Fortune to max level!"
Yang Hao roared. This main mission was the final mission in the Immortal Realm, and it was the first main mission completed with such speed. In just one year, the Nine Cauldrons of Fortune would be upgraded to max level!
"Ding! Deducting fifty billion strands of Fortune and Merit points to upgrade the Nine Cauldrons of Fortune! Remaining Fortune and Merit points: two hundred and thirty billion strands!"
"Roar!"
In the void, a golden five-clawed dragon of fortune roared. A hazy film appeared on each of its scales. Under the nourishment of the surging Fortune and Merit points, the dragon of fortune let out a roar to the heavens. The thin, hazy film covering its scales gradually receded!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Seven-colored lightning crackled and exploded on the dragon scales!
"Nine Cauldrons of Fortune at max level, breaking free from the control of the Great Dao!"
Yang Hao looked up at the golden dragon of fortune that appeared in the sky. Breaking free from the Great Dao. This was the first time. Previously, they had always controlled or replaced the Great Dao. This time, it was breaking free from the control of the Great Dao. In the depths of his heart, Yang Hao felt that this matter was not that simple, especially after Zhuque's words a few days ago!
"Roar!!"
The golden dragon roared to the heavens, its massive golden body traversing the southern Immortal Realm, and even the Feng Prefecture, Ding Prefecture, and Meng Prefecture in the eastern Immortal Realm, the Ya Prefecture, Qi Prefecture, Lai Prefecture, and Xin Prefecture in the western Immortal Realm, and the newly occupied Qian Prefecture in the northern Immortal Realm. The colossal dragon silhouette moved across the sky, opening its mouth to unleash a torrent of colorful divine lightning that roared in the firmament!
After shedding a thin film, each dragon scale condensed a golden Dao pattern. At the center of the dragon's head, Yang Hao's imperial pattern materialized, flowing with boundless radiance!
Rumble rumble rumble...!
The nine boundary realms of Lai Prefecture and Xin Prefecture merged into two vast continents. The nine boundary realms governed by Ya Prefecture and Qi Prefecture also underwent significant fusion, forming two massive territories. In the northern Immortal Realm, Qian Prefecture governed the thirteen boundary realms previously controlled by the Tun Tian Palace. Endless golden light flowed. The thirteen boundary realms rumbled and vibrated on the cursed Boundary Sea. Immeasurable golden streams of light merged the thirteen boundary realms into a single territory!
The golden dragon of national destiny, covered in Dao patterns, roamed through the boundless space, communicating with the chaos. With a roar, the seven-colored light covering the Great Han territory intensified, becoming even more brilliant, and began to peel away from the control of the Great Dao!
"Roar!"
The golden dragon roared, each roar shaking the heavens. At the peak of the firmament, a giant purple eye materialized. Lightning crackled, and it roared like a dragon. The golden dragon of national destiny charged towards the heavens, shattering space, and frantically colliding with the eye at the peak of the firmament.
"Breaking free from the Great Dao's surveillance!"
Deep within the ancient star road, Xuan You Immortal Emperor, who controlled the Nine Nether Ancient Lamp, suddenly stopped in mid-air. At the same moment, Tian Huang Immortal Emperor raised the Heaven Shaking Bell above his head, True Dragon Immortal Emperor lifted the True Dragon Seal, and Gu Chun Immortal Emperor in another corner, holding the Ancient Emperor Blade, froze in place. They looked up and sensed the changes in the Immortal Realm. In the center of them, a headless corpse with green hair held a halberd. The halberd had grown longer and its power far surpassed its previous state. Holding the halberd, it single-handedly faced the four great powers and remained undefeated, its imperial might vast!
"It has shed the Great Dao!!"
"The Great Dao is roaring!!"
"It's the Great Han Heavenly Court!!"
Within the ancient star road, Zhuque stopped in her tracks. Her right arm was stained with blood; she did not know who she had fought, but she was injured. With a bang, a male figure rolled out of the space. His back was covered in blood, wounded by dragon claws. He stepped forward, grabbed Zhuque, and roared, "What time is it! Hurry and go!"
"Clang!"
As the two of them disappeared from their location, a figure in black robes and a black mask walked out. He extended his right hand, revealing a dragon claw. The dragon scales were blood-red. On the chest of the figure in black robes was embroidered a hazy mountain peak, still dripping with a few drops of fresh blood.
"Where do you think you're going!"
The figure in black robes roared and sped towards the direction Zhuque and the other had disappeared.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully shedding the Great Dao. The Golden Dragon of National Destiny has become the Great Dao of the Great Han Heavenly Court's territory!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing the final mission. Rewards: Two Human Hero Summonings! Reward: One Killing Enhancement for the Twelve Golden Men, capable of suppressing peerless Immortal Emperors!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for perfectly completing the mission. Rewards: Host and all born Human Heroes will advance three minor realms!"
For a time, except for Yang Hao and his Human Heroes, the four corners of the Immortal Realm did not know what had happened. Of course, Zhuque and the other four great powers were exceptions. Such a degree of change could only be perceived by beings who had reached the level of supreme powers!
"Shed the Great Dao!"
"I am the true master of this territory!!"
Looking at this scene, Yang Hao smiled slightly. The myriad races living within the Great Han territory could have their lives, immortal qi, and even their fortune numbers arbitrarily deprived if he wished. Away from the surveillance of the Immortal Realm's Great Dao, the Great Han Heavenly Court was truly self-contained!
It was a complete independence!
