Kong Xuan, whose expectations had been surpassed by all living beings, watched the figure kneeling at the very front with a racing heart, as if wanting to burst from his chest. He dared not look at the profound imperial might of Xue Rengui and Wei Qing, nor could he even fathom the strength of Lü Bu, Lian Po, and Jia Fu, who followed closely behind. Months ago, he had only possessed one more imperial destiny than Lü Bu, yet now, Yue Yi, Zhuge Liang, and Ou Yezi stood on par with him. Looking out, the Great Han Holy Court boasted seventeen Immortal Emperors. What filled him with the greatest dread and trembling was that the Great Han Holy Court and the Great Han human race had produced seventeen Immortal Emperors, yet the destiny of the nation continued to surge, showing no signs of depletion, and the Great Dao had not even descended any heavenly tribulation.
"Today, the Great Han Holy Court is promoted to the Heavenly Court, and I shall be the Heavenly Emperor of Great Han!" Yang Hao ascended the nine-tiered altar, taking the Imperial Seal. As his commanding voice echoed throughout the Great Han territories, the Imperial Seal was pressed down upon the imperial decree before him!
*Dong!*
The Nine Cauldrons trembled, and imperial might surged!
*Boom!*
In an instant, the Great Han territories erupted with divine bronze light. The boundless immortal energy began to differentiate from the immortal energy of the Immortal Realm. A thin layer of seven-colored flowing light enveloped the entire Great Han territory, separating it from the control of the Great Dao. Meng Prefecture, Deng Prefecture, Feng Prefecture, and Ding Prefecture, along with the newly occupied territories of the Blade Sea Alliance, began to integrate at a high level. Several regions of Sheng Prefecture merged into one, while nine regions of Deng Prefecture were unified... The surging immortal energy of Great Han poured in, and the bronze divine light illuminated every citizen of Great Han!
"From this day forth, I am the Heavenly Emperor of Great Han!"
Upon the nine-tiered altar, Yang Hao's expression was solemn. His gaze swept across all the territories of Great Han, especially the Xuanyuan Sword, which had not been unsheathed for decades. Innumerable sword qi vibrated. At this moment, the national destiny of Great Han surged once more, and the thin layer of seven-colored flowing light gradually intensified!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the Great Han Holy Court has successfully been promoted to the Great Han Heavenly Court!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, for obtaining one chance to summon an ancient hero!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, upon Great Han's promotion to the Heavenly Court, both the host and all summoned heroes have been elevated by three minor realms!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, for condensing three imperial destinies!!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, for summoning heroes such as Lu Kang, Han Qinghu, Chen Tang, Gan Ning, Ji Youyu, Xu Huang, Zhou Tai, Gongsun Zan, Fu Hao, Hua Mulan, Liang Hongyu, Li Wenzhong, Zhang Liao, Gao Ying, Cen Peng, Wang Baobao, Shi Wansui, Shan Xiongxin, Yao Li, Xun An, Lu Junyi, Cai Ze, Ge Congzhou, Zhou Decheng, who have successfully been elevated by three minor realms, breaking through the Immortal Lord realm barrier and stepping into the first layer of the Immortal King realm!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, for summoning heroes such as Chang Yuchun, Meng Juehai, Zhou Yafu, Chen Qingzhi, Ju Wuba, Deng Tianwang, who have successfully condensed three imperial destinies and now control a total of five imperial destinies!"
...
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, for summoning heroes such as Xue Rengui and Wei Qing, who have successfully condensed three imperial destinies and now control a total of twenty-six imperial destinies!"
Four imperial destinies appeared behind Yang Hao. His aura instantly became boundless and terrifying. At this moment, Kong Xuan was shaken. Only now did he comprehend the extent of the Heavenly Emperor's realm, who controlled the vast territories of the Great Han Heavenly Court.
*Rumble!*
Above Chang'an City, ten thousand bolts of lightning roared. The divine punishment that had failed to descend after three attempts transformed into a heavenly eye, its vast light seeming to penetrate the Great Han Heavenly Court. However, the thin layer of seven-colored flowing light made it difficult for this heavenly eye to penetrate.
"Presumptuous!"
Within the Skyhorn Ant tribe, in a dark ancient tower, an elder opened his eyes. A few beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. He extended his hand, trembling, attempting to grasp space, but a beam of light descended, causing him to spew a mouthful of blood. Weakly, he looked at the Heaven-Patrolling Mirror before him.
"They've already been promoted to the Heavenly Court!"
In a deep part of space, a shadowy figure cried out, looking at the Great Han's Chang'an City with disbelief. He attempted to stand but lost all strength, shattering space and nearly falling out. He looked at the dissipating heavenly eye with fear and said powerlessly, "They actually... actually evaded the surveillance of the Heaven-Patrolling Mirror!!"
"Evaded the Heaven-Patrolling Mirror of the Skyhorn Ant tribe!"
"How is this possible!" Wan Ju Immortal Emperor from the Western Sky Demon Court of the Immortal Realm's face changed drastically. His imperial eyes were filled with shock. That was a supreme treasure used by the Skyhorn Ant tribe to monitor the southern part of the Immortal Realm. From the early days of the myriad emperors to the present, nothing had ever escaped its surveillance. Yet today, the Heaven-Patrolling Mirror had failed to function as usual.
"The human race is truly remarkable!"
"One, two, three...!!"
"Hiss!!"
"Why has the national destiny not been depleted!"
"Why has the national fortune not withered!"
"The Great Dao is unfair!"
"The Great Dao is unfair! Ah!" Tian Yuan Immortal Emperor of the Hundred Refinements Heavenly Court stared blankly, his heart filled with terror. As he surveyed the situation, he could detect over a dozen Immortal Emperors among the Great Han human race alone. A dozen, from the same race, yet the national destiny showed no signs of depletion. In the past, when four emperors appeared from the Danxue Mountain lineage, it had broken the eternal iron laws. Looking at the vast number of Immortal Emperors kneeling in the Xuanzheng Hall Square, paying homage to Yang Hao, the Great Han Heavenly Emperor, there were more than ten. The human race was destined to rise. With over a dozen Immortal Emperors, the Great Han Heavenly Court would be able to dominate the southern Immortal Realm, a feat even the Bomen Palace could not prevent!
Under the iron hooves of the Great Han Heavenly Court, the Sun and Moon Heavenly Court and the Bomen Palace would likely crumble. Was this the fundamental reason why the Great Han Heavenly Court dared to challenge the Skyhorn Ant tribe? Or did a mysterious powerhouse, unseen by the world, lie hidden behind Great Han?
Powerful beings watched this scene with fear. The surging national fortune flowed from all directions, entering Chang'an!
"Rise!!" Yang Hao's Immortal Emperor golden body swept across the billions of citizens of Great Han. With these two words, the vast national fortune gradually stabilized, and the fluctuating bronze divine light subsided.
"Thank the Heavenly Emperor!"
"Thank the Heavenly Emperor!"
"Thank the Heavenly Emperor!"
...
From the four directions of Great Han, billions of citizens and countless soldiers roared in unison, respectfully bowing and rising to their feet, their bodies still, their gazes fixed in the direction of Chang'an City.
*Rumble!*
The Nine Cauldrons trembled, their resonant tones further consolidating the national destiny of Great Han.
"A fine national treasure! Excellent! All of these will belong to our Sun and Moon Heavenly Court!"
"Hahaha!"
At this moment, in the northern void of Chang'an City, a spatial portal condensed, and rolling imperial might surged like a river, impacting the protection of the Nine Cauldrons. A figure stood in the void, none other than Tai Yin Immortal Emperor of the Sun and Moon Heavenly Court.
