Chapter 1281 Jin Wu's Probe of Wang Zhongsi
The Jin Wu man stared at the Heavenly Palace warrior for a long time, then suddenly looked towards the horizon ahead. There, a human aura began to advance towards them, emitting powerful immortal energy fluctuations that surprised him.
At this moment, several powerful and terrifying auras surged into the territory nurturing the first-grade Emperor's Fate Seed, drawing ever closer and stronger. The immense pressure caused the surrounding spectators to tremble, wanting to flee this dangerous place yet unwilling to abandon the battle of a lifetime!
Heavenly Corpse Old Immortal, Jin Wu man, Guan Chen, Heavenly Palace warrior, Shui Zuo Immortal Emperor... these powerhouses, all capable of becoming quasi-emperors, had suppressed themselves for millennia, waiting for this very battle. This contest for the first-grade Emperor's Fate Seed would be no less significant than the previous one. Although the world might not witness the peerless might of Peacock Ming King from that era, today, they would witness the birth of a powerful quasi-emperor!
Numerous supreme prodigies from the east, west, south, and north of the Immortal Realm gathered. Who would break through the encirclement and ascend to the apex?
"A human, long vanished?"
The Jin Wu man spoke, his eyes flashing with golden light. The mirror floating behind his head reflected Wang Zhongsi's figure. He stared at Wang Zhongsi, clad in qilin armor, finding him unfathomable, even more so than the Heavenly Palace warrior.
In the void, the qilin roared, announcing the imminent peak battle. One side pulsed with lightning, another with deathly aura, another with golden radiance, another with ferocity, and yet another with the roar of an azure dragon. These diverse energies were all suppressed by the human's formidable presence.
"Wang Zhongsi, Marquis of Feng'an of the Great Han Sacred Court."
Upon seeing the figure appear, the Heavenly Palace warrior spoke with a hint of solemnity. He had recently heard of the overwhelming might of Zhao Yun and Guan Yu of the Great Han, who dominated their regions. As a Heavenly Palace warrior, he had cut down foes across the land for the Heavenly Demon Court, his current fame forged on a mountain of corpses. Though he had lost three moves to the Heavenly Corpse Old Immortal, his power was not to be underestimated. Moreover, after such a long time, the Heavenly Palace warrior had made significant progress. The sight of Wang Zhongsi sent a shock through his heart.
"Humans are joining the fray as well?" Shui Zuo Immortal Emperor sneered. Ten directions of thunder roared behind him, his entire body radiating a brilliance like a thunder pool. Raising one hand, he conjured lightning that plunged the heavens into chaos.
"The era of the emperors is a time of great contention. Races long relegated to the past now re-emerge to dominate the Immortal Realm, though perhaps not with their former strength!" Guan Chen said calmly. Compared to beings like the Heavenly Corpse Old Immortal, the world knew little of Guan Chen, who seemed like a hidden prodigy of the Azure Dragon lineage.
*Clang!*
The coffin lid opened, and the Heavenly Corpse Old Immortal sat up, emanating a dense deathly aura. He let out a roar, stirring up an endless cloud of dust. He gazed at Wang Zhongsi for a long time, not speaking much, a certain phrase lingering on his lips, yet unuttered.
"The Great Han humans have contended for two second-grade Emperor's Fate Seeds. But with countless powerhouses here, only those who survive until the end will truly possess an Emperor's Fate Seed," the Jin Wu man stated coldly. Even if one had merged with an Emperor's Fate Seed, it could be forcibly extracted. After all, there was only one first-grade Emperor's Fate Seed. Other beings still needed to contend for other Fate Seeds, making the second-grade ones crucial.
The Heavenly Palace warrior frowned and asked, "Jin Mao, what do you mean by that? Extracting the Emperor's Fate Seed from others—is that the way of your Jin Wu clan?"
"Extraction is nothing. What my Jin Wu clan desires will eventually belong to my Jin Wu clan!" the Jin Wu man replied with displeasure, glancing at the Heavenly Palace warrior.
"A mere mongrel stained with a trace of the divine sun's light dares to decree the fate of my human race!" Wang Zhongsi's pupils blazed with Qilin divine fire, and a spear light condensed, refining the surrounding world. Su Dan Novel Net.
*Boom!*
The mirror behind the Jin Wu man's head unleashed a golden beam. The two clashed fiercely in the sky above, the immense pressure instantly paling the faces of countless onlookers. Many were swept away for thousands of miles by the shockwave, their fates unknown.
Wang Zhongsi felt the Jin Wu man's strength and a faint smile touched his lips. He was unaware of the true depth of the reclusive Jin Wu clan, but the Jin Wu man before him was nothing extraordinary.
*Boom!*
Countless beings instantly retreated, watching from afar with a mixture of tension, excitement, fear, and concern as the sky became murky.
The Heavenly Corpse Old Immortal, Guan Chen, Shui Zuo Immortal Emperor, and the Heavenly Palace warrior did not intervene. They stood aside, quietly observing Wang Zhongsi and the Jin Wu man.
Bathed in the divine sun's light, the Jin Wu man seemed poised to transform into a divine sun himself, illuminating heaven and earth. After sensing Wang Zhongsi's immortal power, he chose to attack. The Jin Wu had emerged, and within this ancient, ruined land, it had yet to establish its formidable reputation.
*Boom!*
As he moved, the misty left hand glowed and rapidly expanded, reaching forward with immense pressure. This was a great divine ability, a palm that morphed into the heavens, crashing down with a thunderous roar, intending to crush the enemy. "Hmph!" Qin Hao moved, his gaze sharp. Clad in the Longevity Battle Armor, he exuded a heroic spirit. With a single finger, countless towering ancient trees appeared in the void, drawing the essence of the sky to dissipate the giant palm. He hailed from Mount Undying, also known as Mount Five Elements, and understood the Five Elements technique—this was the wood element's power. "Buzz!" Heaven and earth trembled, and sacred light shone. Everyone was inwardly stirred. They knew this battle was destined to be etched in history, and what they witnessed today would become "major events" recorded in chronicles.
*Crack!*
Endless golden light enveloped the sky. The entire dim world was instantly plunged into a blinding radiance. The heavens inverted, and the sky, completely shrouded, transformed into a divine sun, pressing down upon Wang Zhongsi.
"Three-legged Jin Wu!"
At the center of the divine sun, Wang Zhongsi saw a three-legged Jin Wu standing, manipulating the surrounding light. Wang Zhongsi drew a battle bow. The three-legged Jin Wu was extraordinary, and there were many myths about the Jin Wu clan in his previous life. Wang Zhongsi dared not be careless.
*Boom!*
The battle bow was drawn taut like a full moon. Red light flickered between his fingers, condensing into a divine arrow. The world split apart. The entire sky, which had transformed into a divine sun, shuddered instantly, scattering much of its brilliance.
"Wang Zhongsi has clashed with the mysterious Jin Wu man!"
Outside the Immortal Ancient Ruins, beings exclaimed. Numerous powerhouses were closely monitoring Wang Zhongsi's combat prowess. Zhao Yun and Guan Yu had already left them with an overwhelming shock.
*Buzz!*
Within the Immortal Ancient Ruins, countless territories trembled. Blinding golden light shot through space, pervading every corner of the void.
