What immense luck. The Immortal Ancient Ruined Land is vast and boundless, capable of holding dozens of realms. Within this immense territory, there are fewer than ninety-nine Emperor Crowns, and it just so happened that one came to Wang Zhongsi’s side.
“The Emperor Crown has appeared!”
Lifeforms cried out in alarm. Within mere breaths after Wang Zhongsi was spotted, dozens of the countless projected images cast upon the Immortal Ancient Ruined Land erupted with earth-shattering roars. Lifeforms shattered across the firmament; for one to attain the Dao, ten thousand corpses must lie in their wake.
Only ninety-nine lifeforms could obtain an Emperor Crown, and ultimately, only nine could seize the Seed of Imperial Destiny. This ruined land, over the course of countless ages, had buried innumerable Immortal Emperor powerhouses. As for Immortal Kings and similar beings, they were as countless as grains of sand.
“That is the sixth-generation clansman of the Zhaoyao Palace, renowned as the most powerful Immortal Emperor lifeform of the Xingxing lineage, highly valued by that Immortal Emperor!”
Hundreds of lifeforms were sent flying for thousands of miles, perishing one after another. The sixth-generation clansman of Zhaoyao Palace, wielding a long staff of Imperial-grade immortal treasure, swept aside a host of Immortal Emperors. Alone, he controlled the core area of the Great Sky Tree, capable of seizing an Emperor Crown with a mere raise of his hand.
“Extraordinary! Truly extraordinary! Although Zhaoyao Palace lost Heavenly King Yu Rong and Heavenly King Tong Feng in the Battle of Danxue Mountain, within the sixth generation, there remains an astonishing talent capable of inheriting the legacy of Zhaoyao Palace!”
Lifeforms marveled. What grace and power! He fought hundreds of Immortal Emperors alone, sweeping them across thousands of miles. No one could approach him with his staff.
Countless lifeforms urgently turned their attention to Wang Zhongsi. He was in this very territory. Would the Great Han's Wang Zhongsi retreat to bide his time, or would he face the challenge head-on and battle the sixth-generation clansman of Zhaoyao Palace?
“Great Han human?”
Within the ruined land, the sixth-generation clansman of Zhaoyao Palace noticed Wang Zhongsi, who stood motionless, observing the battlefield. He spoke softly, “You are no match for me. Leave now, and I shall spare your life!”
“Hahaha!”
Wang Zhongsi heard this and burst into wild laughter, looking up at the sky. “Throughout the Immortal Realm, below the Immortal Emperors, I alone can sweep aside all others. Who do you think you are, an ant daring to look down upon me?”
“How dare you!”
The sixth-generation clansman of Zhaoyao Palace’s eyes shook. The long staff in his hand coiled like two golden dragons as he swung it towards the sky, like a pillar of the Great Dao toppling. Ten thousand miles felt like mere inches.
“You seek death!”
Wang Zhongsi roared in anger. He spread his arms, and a Qilin Treasure Bow materialized. This battle bow was incredibly potent, weighing millions of pounds. Forged by Gan Jiang for decades, it had been unearthed before the Nine Tripods of Fortune, its power unparalleled. Gripping it with both arms, he let out a great roar, veins bulging, his arms trembling slightly. The bow was drawn taut like a full moon, and the radiance of the arrow made ten thousand stars pale!
“Clang!”
A red arrow struck the descending golden staff. Boundless, brilliant flames erupted, igniting the sky. The firmament for miles collapsed inch by inch, the earth cracked, and the infinite shockwave sent countless lifeforms flying backward, blood gushing from their mouths. Many lifeforms rapidly retreated, realizing this battle was beyond their participation. They had no choice but to abandon it and seek other opportunities.
“Wang Zhongsi!”
A Quasi-Emperor powerhouse stated grimly. He was, after all, the one capable of slaying the Dragon Nether Saint Emperor. This battle bow, with a single shot, had managed to suppress the sixth-generation clansman of Zhaoyao Palace. The void fractured, and the light of the Emperor Crown tore through the powerful impact between them.
A figure was sent flying backward, his armor shattered. Both his arms trembled uncontrollably, the force of the blow causing his tiger’s mouth to bleed profusely.
“Screech!” A golden ray of light shot away. As the resplendent light faded, in the vast area where the Emperor Crown existed, only Wang Zhongsi stood, holding his battle bow.
“Impossible!”
The Quasi-Emperor of the Void Demon Clan exclaimed in disbelief. He could hardly fathom this outcome. The sixth-generation clansman of Zhaoyao Palace had actually lost and chosen to flee! They had only exchanged one blow, not even lasting one engagement.
“The Human Race rises! The Human Race rises!” Some lifeforms trembled as they spoke. The Great Han Sacred Court, solely through Wang Zhongsi, could establish itself as a second-rate force in the Immortal Realm. They needed no reliance on the might of Danxue Mountain!
One man.
Sufficient.
The battle flames had barely subsided when, from another direction, a dazzling, scorching light drew the attention of countless lifeforms.
A divine sun hung in the void, illuminating the Immortal Ancient Ruined Land for tens of thousands of miles!
“A divine sun hangs in the sky, all races submit!”
A cold voice, like the sound of the Great Dao, suppressed an entire region. Both within the ruined land and outside the Immortal Realm, countless lifeforms trembled, and even some Immortal Emperors’ expressions changed drastically.
Golden Crow!
A race that had vanished from the river of history for a very, very long time had reappeared.
At the end of the Nether Sea Era, the Immortal Realm underwent a great upheaval. Not only the Phoenix Clan, Azure Dragon Clan, and Black Tortoise Clan, but also another race faded from the sight of the world.
However, the Golden Crow Clan was different from the Phoenix and other races; they proactively sealed themselves away, disappearing from the Immortal Realm. The countless realms they controlled were divided by the later-rising Gluttonous and Qiongqi tribes.
At the beginning of the Era of Emperors, an supreme Immortal Emperor had prophesied that the Golden Crow Clan might have touched upon a forbidden area of the Dao and was directly erased from existence, vanishing into the river of history.
Yet today, gazing at the divine sun within the ruined land, countless lifeforms were in turmoil. The powerful Golden Crow Clan had not been erased or suppressed; they had continued to exist within the Immortal Realm, merely in seclusion!
“The Golden Crow Clan is no longer a top-tier force in the Immortal Realm. With the ruined land appearing, the Emperor Crown is within everyone’s reach! Do you dare suppress us with a single word?”
A powerful Immortal Emperor roared. In his hand, he held a grand seal, exuding endless, blazing radiance. As the seal emerged, a spatial area was firmly locked.
“Kill, attack together, and suppress him!”
A lifeform brandished a long saber and slashed horizontally.
“Do mere ants dare challenge the might of the divine sun?”
“Annihilate!”
Within the divine sun, the cold voice rang out. A dark silhouette with wings unfurled, and dazzling light devoured everything.
“Kill!”
At this moment, countless lifeforms attacked, each wanting a piece of the pie. They held nothing back, charging towards the blinding divine sun!
“Boom!”
A golden spear shot out from the divine sun, deflecting all the attacks. The dazzling divine sun radiated light for ten thousand zhang.
As the divine sun dispersed, a handsome man stood quietly in the firmament, calmly standing as if he were the master of all heavens, and the stars were merely his subordinates.
“With the Golden Crow Clan emerging, the western part of the Immortal Realm is likely to face turmoil.”
Some Immortal Emperors were shocked.
Countless powerful lifeforms knew that in the Nether Sea Era, the western part of the Immortal Realm was dominated by the Golden Crow Clan. However, they later disappeared, and their vast territories were gradually controlled by the rising Qiongqi and Gluttonous tribes. Even the Heavenly Demon Court occupied a significant portion of the land. With the Golden Crow’s reappearance, how could they not reclaim their former territories?
