"Imperial decree!"
"Enfeoff Guan Zhong as Grand Tutor of the Great Han Heavenly Court, responsible for state governance, overseeing national affairs of the Great Han Heavenly Court, and empowered to command officials when necessary, without needing my decree!"
"Enfeoff Yang Zai Xing as the Deputy General of the Third Army of the White Tiger Legion, to immediately conquer the Taotie lineage and take control of the nine realms they rule!"
...
"You are right, they have made preparations to clear the Ancient Star Road!" In a celestial abyss in the southern region of the Immortal Realm, a man standing beside Vermilion Bird spoke softly. Before them, the green-haired headless corpse stood holding a halberd stained with terrifying Emperor's blood. Within the long river, the bodies of four peerless Immortal Emperors gradually dissipated, one of them wearing a golden mask, identified as the Golden-Masked Patrol General of the Heavenly Horn Ant clan.
"They have sensed the crisis!" Vermilion Bird opened her eyes, wisps of scarlet flames burning within her pupils. She extended a palm towards the dissipating figures and grasped, coalescing the surging blood mist into four drops of Emperor's blood.
"What is the origin of the Great Han Heavenly Court? From the Desolate Era, the Underworld Sea Era, I have never seen a human race possess such a bloodline." The man moved slightly, pointing his right middle finger at the void. The green-haired headless corpse appeared. Unlike before, the green-haired headless corpse now had a few strands of red hair, two bloodstains on its chest with a slight opening, revealing movement within. The green-haired headless corpse held a halberd, standing calmly in the void.
"I am not entirely sure either. I always feel it is extraordinary. Do you know about my Vermilion Bird lineage?" Vermilion Bird looked forward.
"If the previous generation of Vermilion Bird does not perish, the next generation of Vermilion Bird will never be born!" The man smiled faintly.
"Indeed! In the Great Han Heavenly Court, there exists a Vermilion Bird!"
"What did you say?"
"This is absolutely impossible!"
The man looked at Vermilion Bird with a solemn expression. How could this be possible? The Immortal Realm was vast, yet only one Vermilion Bird could exist. This was an eternal ironclad rule that could not be altered. How could a new Vermilion Bird emerge from this territory, which also belonged to the Great Han Heavenly Court!
"You are right, I was surprised at first, but it truly exists. I have sensed that faint aura up close, and from that moment, I felt hope in the Great Han Heavenly Emperor. This land has been controlled by mysterious power for too long, terrifyingly long." Vermilion Bird said with solemnity.
"Our combined strength is indeed a little weak. I hope you are not mistaken."
"This matter has been resolved. Shall we enter the Ancient Star Road?"
"The four great races are going all out this time. It is an opportunity to weaken them!" The man said softly. Some days ago, within the Ancient Star Road, they had fought against the four titans. This had alarmed the Emperor's Ruins deep within the Ancient Star Road. The four titans retreated and gathered the power of the four great races. Entering the Ancient Star Road again was precisely to completely deal with the two of them.
"You go to the Ancient Star Road and wait for me!"
Vermilion Bird said softly. She turned and walked towards the direction of Great Han Chang'an City, her back gradually disappearing from the man's sight. A voice came, "I will go to the Great Han Heavenly Court first. When I enter the Ancient Star Road, we will plan properly!"
The man watched the disappearing figure and shook his head helplessly. He extended his palm and patted the green-haired headless corpse, sighing, "I don't know if we can find the head, or if the broken Chaotic Wasteland Halberd can be reassembled!"
...
"Immortal Emperor, the White Tiger Legion of the Great Han Heavenly Court has been discovered above the Southern Boundary Sea!"
In the western part of the Immortal Realm, the Taotie lineage.
"This Emperor knows!"
The Taotie Immortal Emperor revealed a sinister smile. He broke the space with his palm and walked step by step into the chaos, heading towards the southern border. He did not expect the Great Han Heavenly Court to be so eager to conquer his race. It had only been a few days since the Qiongqi lineage was destroyed, and the Han army's blade had already turned towards him. The Nine Nether Pheasant clan, which controlled the western part of the Immortal Realm, had not yet expressed their stance on this matter. Even the Heavenly Horn Ant clan, which had lost the southern part of the Immortal Realm, was now silent. The rare silence of the four great titan forces of the Immortal Realm surprised not only him, but also all living beings in the four directions of the Immortal Realm.
Boom!
After he had traveled for several hours in the chaos, a terrifying Emperor's might broke through space and enveloped this area. In the deepest part of the chaos, a white light flashed. Suddenly, a white spear light, carrying the aura of the White Tiger clan, attacked his location. The spear light swept through the chaotic space, piercing towards the speeding Taotie Immortal Emperor. Billions of layers of space shattered. This white spear light, however, locked onto the space where the Taotie Immortal Emperor was with extreme precision. As the spear light descended, it shattered the Taotie Immortal Emperor's imperial patterns, and the chaos trembled!
"Who?!"
The Taotie Immortal Emperor, who was speeding along, was shocked. He suddenly looked up, staring at the white spear light that had shattered through ten thousand layers of space, his face filled with horror. The Emperor's might emanating from him was completely shattered, and his blood qi trembled violently. It seemed as if a great terror was hidden in the deepest part of the chaos, causing his blood qi to surge. Who was he? He was the strongest of the Taotie lineage, a powerful being who controlled thirty-seven Emperor's fates. In the southern Immortal Realm, he was the number one Immortal Emperor!
Yet, the Emperor's might condensed from these thirty-seven Emperor's fates was shattered under the spear light. With a rumble, the Emperor's might exploded. The white spear light entered this space and directly struck off his crown, injuring his scalp. His long hair vibrated. Under the impact of the spear light, his head shook, and he was forced back dozens of steps in the chaos with a thudding sound!
"Who are you?"
The Taotie Immortal Emperor, who had stabilized his figure, felt the terrifying spear light dissipate. His pupils contracted, and the hairs on his body stood on end. He felt a fatal threat. He quickly looked up and saw that in the depths of billions of layers of space, a figure moved slightly. In a few steps, it crossed the spatial barriers and appeared in this chaos. Yang Zai Xing, clad in White Tiger armor, his blood qi vibrating, held the supreme treasure, the Tarnished Silver Spear, entwined with terrifying White Tiger killing intent, causing the chaos to erupt!
"Who are you?"
"Do you know my name?"
Looking at the approaching figure, the Taotie Immortal Emperor had a bad premonition. This figure exuded human bloodline. Could it be an Immortal Emperor of the Great Han Heavenly Court? When did the Great Han Heavenly Court produce such a powerful and peerless Immortal Emperor, and why had he never appeared before?
"Yang Zai Xing, Deputy General of the Third Army of the White Tiger Legion of the Great Han Heavenly Court!" Yang Zai Xing stopped, holding the Tarnished Silver Spear, standing in the chaos, his gaze looking down at the Taotie Immortal Emperor, whose hair was disheveled and face was pale. With a thudding sound, forty-four Emperor's fates appeared behind Yang Zai Xing.
