Chapter 1325: Chapter 301
“Your son greets the Emperor Father.”
“Your son greets the Emperor Father.”
Several members of the Imperial Family on the Immortal Platform, including Chu Tianhuang, who stood at the forefront, all knelt down in homage.
And the other members of the Imperial Family beneath the Immortal Platform also knelt and bowed their heads, not daring to sneak a glance.
People from other sects, including the Demon Suppression Bureau and other forces like the Millennia Families, suddenly realized and hastily knelt in reverence.
The two shadowy figures in the fog beside the Imperial Palace, Yuan Xinggang and Shangguan Hong, merely bowed slightly, showing a small token of respect. Given their status and relationship with the Emperor Chu, they had long surpassed such formalities.
Li Hao, following the others, also intended to kneel on one knee, but suddenly a gentle force supported his body.
Simultaneously, a grand yet affable voice resounded in his mind, “Where is your master now?”
Li Hao was slightly stunned, looking around in surprise and uncertainty, and then his gaze fell upon the majestic figure of the Imperial Palace.
“Your master once shared a bond of gratitude with me, so you need not worry. Did he never mention this to you?”
That voice echoed once more.
At that moment, Li Hao finally realized that the one transmitting these thoughts was none other than the Emperor Chu, who ruled over the Yan Chu Nine Thousand Immortal Cities and endless territories before his eyes.
In the entire True Realm, he was among the top powerhouses, likely only second to the Immortal Emperor who stood at the pinnacle of power.
“How did His Majesty discern this?”
Li Hao asked doubtfully through voice transmission.
At this point, there was no need to deny it. The other’s words didn’t seem like deception, and given their strength and status, if they really harbored ill intentions, they wouldn’t need to resort to deceit; they had many ways to achieve their objectives.
“Your Immortal Body is the Ancestor Immortal Body. Apart from the families indebted to him in the past, this technique was never passed on, and those people have long perished, vanished without a trace…”
The Emperor Chu’s voice calmly transmitted.
Li Hao was slightly startled, not expecting his Immortal Body to expose him.
However, since Gu Changming could deduce his identity from his actions, it wasn’t surprising that the Emperor Chu could recognize it too.
He replied somewhat ruefully, “I see.”
“Where is your master now?” The Emperor Chu once again inquired via voice transmission.
Li Hao responded through voice transmission, “To report to His Majesty, I obtained a bit of inheritance by chance. I’m not even considered a Direct Disciple, and I know nothing about the elder. Perhaps once I become a Direct Disciple, I might learn something.”
He spoke rather conservatively. Although the Emperor Chu appeared not to have any malicious intent, he still exercised some caution.
Upon hearing Li Hao’s words, the Emperor Chu’s transmission fell silent, then, seemingly with a sense of reminiscence, he said:
“I hadn’t expected that with your talent, you still couldn’t become a Direct Disciple. It seems that back then, his three Direct Disciples were exceptionally brilliant, much more extraordinary than you are. They were the true prodigies of the world…”
With these musings, the voice gradually faded away.
Soon after, Li Hao saw the grand doors of the Imperial Palace open, and the majestic, commanding voice of the Emperor Chu, which had just been transmitting, resounded:
“You who come from the Nine Thousand Immortal Cities are about to battle the Six Nations for Yan and Chu. The top ten, step forward!”
Chu Xiangtian immediately turned his head, signaling Chu Tianhuang to step forward.
The other Imperial Family members, including the seventh-ranked Imperial Princess, all showed joy in their eyes and stepped forward in turn, leaping into the sky before the Imperial Palace.
Li Hao, together with Xing Lan and the others, also followed. Ten figures stood within the surging clouds outside the Imperial Palace, their striking presence gathering the world’s attention.
“To the top ranker, a Fragment of Destiny is bestowed!”
As the words of the Emperor Chu rang out, a streamer of light shot out from the Imperial Palace, tracing a path of rainbow light, and descended before Chu Tianhuang.
Upon hearing these words, a gleam of excitement and envy appeared in everyone’s eyes.
The Fragment of Destiny is a supreme artifact through which one can comprehend the power of fate.
In the myriad Tao of the True Realm, the Nine Orders reign supreme, and fate stands above all!
The incredibly difficult-to-comprehend Nine Sequences Origin, such as time and space, are insignificant before destiny!
And the best way to comprehend the power of fate is through the divine Fragment of Destiny!
Unexpectedly, the Yan Chu Royal Family was so generous and magnanimous to bestow such a treasure.
Even the always composed Chu Tianhuang couldn’t help but show a hint of excitement in his eyes, quickly raising his hand to receive it, and then bowing in thanks.
“To the second ranker, a top-tier Immortal Soldier is gifted, an Emperor Blood Essence droplet, and an opportunity to cultivate in the Origin Realm for seven years!”
The Emperor Chu continued his rewards.
Two lights flew out from the Imperial Palace: one was a long sword emitting a chilling, frigid force, with a faint illusion of a blue ice phoenix that accompanied it with a clear cry, exuding a terrifying momentum and aura that suppressed the atmosphere of the top ten people, including Li Hao!
Even this single Immortal Soldier seemed capable of skewering them all.
Li Hao faintly sensed a surge of excitement from Taowu in his Heaven and Earth Space, transmitting a thought to Li Hao:
“Such a delicious aura, I want to eat it!”
“You can devour it?”
Li Hao was somewhat astonished at Taowu’s words, feeling the prestige of the Immortal Soldier.
“If my master were at the same realm, I’d have the confidence to do so!”
Taowu replied excitedly.
Li Hao sensed its bloodthirstiness and ferocity, while also feeling the confidence exuded in this statement, truly befitting the top-tier Immortal Soldier among the remaining weapons in the Emperor Hall.
In that historic battle, there were likely many Immortal Soldiers of the same rank as Taowu, or even stronger, who fell on that staggering battlefield.
At this moment, after the Immortal Soldier, a dense silver-black light surged forth, resembling silver-black lightning that continued to split and crack.
This light emitted a formidable majesty that made everyone present feel their hearts sink, giving rise to an indescribable sensation.
