Chapter 88: Pilgrims, Coming from the Other Side of the Sea, Bowing Every Step of the Way
Human Emperor Xuanyuan reshaped the Foreign Realm, then fused the Foreign Realm and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths together.
The aura of ominousness and Darkness upon the Foreign Realm completely dissolved.
Human Emperor Xuanyuan employed heaven-reaching and earth-shattering means to smelt the Foreign Realm and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths together.
The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the Foreign Realm were smelted into one realm, becoming a new habitat for the Human Race.
The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were originally fragments from after the Immortal Ancient World shattered; the origin of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths after the shattering was difficult to compare with the Immortal Ancient World.
After the Immortal Ancient Era, it became difficult for the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to easily give birth to powerhouses at the True Immortal level, and this was one of the biggest reasons.
Because the origin of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths was insufficient, it was difficult to easily support the birth of existences at the True Immortal level.
But now, the Human Emperor has re-smelted the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the Foreign Realm together; it can be said that the Human Race of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths now occupies the origin of both the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the Foreign Realm.
With the origins of the two regions united, from this point on, this expanse of territory is fully capable of supporting the growth of the Human Race.
Meng Tianzheng naturally understood just how terrifying the Human Emperor Xuanyuan's means of smelting the two realms were.
Likewise, he was also very clear about what the Human Emperor Xuanyuan doing this meant for the Human Race.
After the fusion of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the Foreign Realm, the terrifying origin spiritual Qi between this expanse of territory was reviving.
It was even denser and more terrifying than in the Immortal Ancient Era.
One can imagine that in the near future, a golden age where Heavenly Prides emerge in large numbers will be born here.
Meng Tianzheng's initial request was only for Human Emperor Xuanyuan not to harm the Human Race of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; he never expected such benefits today.
Meng Tianzheng spoke gratefully, "Many thanks, Human Emperor. I, Meng Tianzheng, on behalf of my Human Race, thank the Human Emperor."
Human Emperor Xuanyuan said nothing; he pointed toward the void.
Human Dao Fortune gathered together, and then countless Dao techniques and divine abilities surged out from the Humanity Torrent.
The Human Race of this realm had great potential, and Human Emperor Xuanyuan wanted to cultivate them well.
Meng Tianzheng proclaimed to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to join the Outer Heaven Court.
Many tumors within the Human Race were very unconvinced by this.
Now that the scourge of the foreign races had been resolved, it was the era for the Human Race to dominate.
Why join the Outer Heaven Court?
Especially for those great clans that had already colluded with the Dark Foreign Race in secret, they could not accept such a result at all.
These great clans acted arrogantly and domineeringly within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, constantly strangling the geniuses of the Human Race and acting as lackeys for the Dark Foreign Race.
The reason they were so arrogant was that they had always had foreign races as their backers behind the scenes.
But who would have thought that now, all the kings of the foreign races in the Foreign Realm had been killed, and the foreign races were about to fall.
If the things they had done were exposed, they would definitely be liquidated.
Currently, only by making the interior of the Human Race chaotic would there be no time to attend to their affairs.
Of course, there is one point that cannot be denied.
The Human Race is full of resilience; even in the depths of a trough, they can rise.
The Human Race is also not afraid of sacrifice, daring to contend with the heavens.
But the Human Race also has a flaw.
When the contradiction between our race and the enemy race becomes the primary contradiction, the Human Race will unite everything as never before.
Even those with base characters can sacrifice themselves for the Human Race and perform acts of great righteousness.
But if the contradiction between the enemy and us is resolved, the Human Race will focus on the interior and intensify internal contradictions.
The Human Race will inevitably fall into internal strife again.
Such is human nature, or rather, it is not just the Human Race.
As long as it is a sentient race, it is difficult to escape this nature.
It is precisely because of this that many people expressed their dissatisfaction with Meng Tianzheng joining the Outer Heaven Court at this time.
"Outer Heaven Court? This is a force from outside the realm. Meng Tianzheng actually chose to join the Heavenly Court; I do not agree."
"Meng Tianzheng chose to join a force from outside the realm; he has become a traitor to humanity."
"I do not agree; I will absolutely not join the Outer Heaven Court."
Among the Human Race, many great clans with ancient inheritances did not agree.
In their view, it was now time for them to dominate the Human Race, rather than joining the Outer Heaven Court and obeying the orders of the Outer Heaven Court.
These people were enjoying the benefits brought by Human Emperor Xuanyuan while frantically clamoring.
They had no fear; why?
Because they felt that Human Emperor Xuanyuan was revered as the Human Emperor.
That title belonging to the Human Emperor and the morality belonging to the Human Emperor were restraining him.
What they were gambling on was Human Emperor Xuanyuan's kindness.
Unfortunately, they were destined to lose the bet.
A gentleman can be deceived by what is right.
But the three Sage Emperors of the Human Race were never pedantic people.
They were benevolent and loved the people, but they also had thunderous means.
Especially Human Emperor Xuanyuan; he was a Human Emperor full of murderous intent.
Although Human Emperor Xuanyuan fused the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the Foreign Realm together, personally opening a golden age for the Human Race to cultivate.
But he also inscribed rules within this heaven and earth.
Those traitors to humanity, those who had once colluded with foreign races, were directly judged by the rules, either dying and their Dao disappearing, or losing all their cultivation.
And those who wanted to sow discord were likewise unable to absorb the spiritual Qi of this realm.
This golden age of cultivation was destined to have nothing to do with these people.
Human Emperor Xuanyuan employed thunderous methods, yet some people still cursed him roundly.
Regarding these people, Human Emperor Xuanyuan naturally did not indulge them, directly crushing them to death.
Furthermore, in the Immortal Domain, the Immortal Domain is also a powerful force within this World.
In the battle of the Immortal Ancient era, the kings of the Foreign Realm joined forces to knock on the gates, defeating the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Yet the Immortal Domain had always stayed out of it, suffering no losses.
The people of the Immortal Domain have always been high and mighty; they look down upon the dark creatures of the Foreign Realm, but they also look down upon the people of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
And after so many years of development, there are also many Immortal King Giants in the Immortal Domain.
Yang Jian descended into the Immortal Domain, his powerful aura suppressing the Immortal Domain.
"I am the Judicial Heavenly God under the Heavenly Court; are you willing to submit to the Heavenly Court?"
Yang Jian stated his attitude directly as soon as he arrived.
Submit to the Heavenly Court; those who submit shall live, those who defy shall die.
Hearing Yang Jian's words, the many Immortal King Giants in the Immortal Domain were furious.
"Arrogant brat, the Immortal Domain is not a place where you can run wild."
"Is the Heavenly Emperor of the Outer Heaven Court so arrogant? While fighting the Foreign Realm, you still want to take action against our Immortal Domain? Our Immortal Domain is not the Foreign Realm."
One Immortal King Giant after another took action directly, wanting to suppress Yang Jian.
But how could they be Yang Jian's opponents? Yang Jian suppressed them within a few rounds.
Although Yang Jian has not attained the Dao to become a Saint, his strength is far inferior to Human Emperor Xuanyuan.
But Yang Jian is the most talented Disciple of the third generation of the Three Teachings, one might even say without equal.
Yang Jian's mount, the Howling Celestial Dog, took action and even suppressed a top powerhouse.
Now the Immortal King Giants of the Immortal Domain finally recognized the situation, knowing that Yang Jian and the Heavenly Court were beyond their reach.
The Immortal Kings of the Immortal Domain did not have such great conflicts with the Heavenly Court, so they chose to join the Heavenly Court.
On the other side, Duobao Daoren also descended into the Burial Earth.
At this time, many cultivators of the Perfect World had already caught sight of the powerhouses of the Heavenly Court and could not bring themselves to resist the Heavenly Court.
In the Perfect World, many top Immortal King Giants gathered together.
The Burial Lord, the Butcher, and other Supreme Powerhouses who had attained the Dao in the Emperor-Fallen Era all looked at the Heavenly Court, their eyes filled with complexity.
"The Outer Heaven Court has descended into this World; what should we do?"
"What should we do? What can we do? With the strength of the Outer Heaven Court, who can resist?"
"Moreover, I want to see if the Outer Heaven Court can help us step into the position of Immortal Emperor."
The strength of the Outer Heaven Court is too powerful; opposing the Outer Heaven Court has absolutely no chance of winning.
Furthermore, this Outer Heaven Court does not seem to have the ambition to slaughter wantonly or destroy the World.
So why should one set oneself against the Outer Heaven Court?
Besides, there is an even more important point: they had long since become Immortal King Giants, yet despite exhausting all kinds of methods, it was difficult to attain the Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit.
In the Outer Heaven Court, existences at the Immortal Emperor level or even above seem common.
So can they use the Outer Heaven Court to practice the cultivation methods of the Outer Heaven and catch a glimpse of the Immortal Emperor realm?
Therefore, these top Immortal King Giants did not hesitate at all and also chose to join the Heavenly Court.
After all, those who know the times are heroes, are they not?
On the other side, Qin Hao also descended into this World.
The Perfect World is a Great Thousand World with huge potential.
Of course, what Qin Hao is truly interested in is the world above the Perfect World, the God Above.
That world is the truly powerful world.
When the Immortal King Giants and the Human Race of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths joined the Heavenly Court, Qin Hao had already received a notification.
【Ding-dong! The Human Race of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths has joined the Heavenly Court; congratulations to the Host for obtaining 100 million Qi Luck.】
【Ding-dong! The Burial Lord, the Butcher, and other Immortal King Giants have joined the Heavenly Court; congratulations to the Host for obtaining 100 million Qi Luck.】
Those who join the Heavenly Court directly like this do not have a Qi Luck multiplier.
However, whether it was the Human Race of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths or the Immortal King Giants, none were weak, and they added a great deal of Qi Luck to Qin Hao.
At this time, Qin Hao had already arrived at the Boundary Sea.
The Boundary Sea, with countless world fragments, constitutes this terrifying sea of Nothingness.
Within every spray of the waves, there exists a shattered ancient world.
For the creatures of this World, this is entirely a forbidden zone.
Even one as strong as a True Immortal cannot set foot in the Boundary Sea; a single wave can drown a True Immortal.
Even if an Immortal King Giant steps into it, they must be cautious; one moment of carelessness, and it is death and the dissipation of the Dao.
Wave after wave beats against the void, shattering the Nothingness.
Throughout the ages, countless creatures have been buried in this Boundary Sea.
Qin Hao walked across the waves step by step.
The waves, which were originally like raging torrents, could not help but pave a heavenly Great Dao under his feet.
Those terrifying, boundless waves were completely tamed.
If anyone saw this scene, they would certainly be greatly shocked.
Even an Immortal King could hardly achieve this step, treating the Boundary Sea as nothing.
Qin Hao stepped into it, and within a few steps, he crossed this forbidden zone that was impassable for living beings.
At the end of the Boundary Sea, it is filled with Darkness, with no existence of light at all.
Darkness, Nothingness; that was a small island.
Even the rules and the Great Dao seemed to have fallen silent within the darkness.
Yet upon the island were many powerful beings; some of them were even more powerful than those Immortal Kings of the Foreign Realm.
They were all existences at the Immortal King level, but even among Immortal Kings, they were extremely powerful existences.
These beings had come to the other end of the Boundary Sea, merely to seek the secret of how to Break King Become Emperor.
But clearly, countless years had passed, and they still found it difficult to glimpse the realm of the Immortal Emperor.
Seeing Qin Hao's arrival, the sound of discussion arose.
"Has another powerhouse arrived from the other end of the Boundary Sea? What a pity; having endured such hardships to reach the Boundary Sea, yet it remains difficult to achieve the status of Immortal Emperor."
"He is destined to be disappointed; to Break King Become Emperor is so difficult, perhaps it is merely a legend."
All who were able to reach this end of the Boundary Sea were individuals of resilient character.
Yet, amidst the long-standing solitude and darkness, these people had all begun to doubt whether anyone in this era could achieve the status of Immortal Emperor.
If it were not for the fact that the realm of Immortal Emperor had truly been recorded in history, they would have given up long ago.
The beings on the island were still spying on Qin Hao, and the powerful aura on Qin Hao pressed down directly, making these Immortal King Giants feel suffocated.
"I am sorry, it was I who offended."
"Apologies, this little friend, it was I who was unreasonable first; I am willing to make amends."
To presume to use one's own spiritual sense to spy on an unknown powerhouse was, in itself, a provocation.
These eternal giants had seen a newcomer after such a long time and could not help but want to test them.
Unfortunately, the other party's strength seemed unexpectedly powerful.
This caused almost all the powerhouses in this place to feel a sense of shock in their hearts.
One must know that those who could reach this end of the Boundary Sea were themselves the top-tier powerhouses, belonging to the ranks of Immortal King Giants.
It was precisely because of this that they could not see hope for a breakthrough, and thus came to the other end of the Boundary Sea, wanting to seek the mystery of how to Break King Become Emperor.
They themselves belonged to the sequence of the strongest, but now, how could this newcomer be stronger than them?
That powerful aura, just a single glance, was enough to make one suffocate.
It seemed that with only a single thought from the other party, they would become dead men.
These Immortal King Giants, who had been invincible for countless epochs and looked down upon billions upon billions of living beings, had never for a moment felt so insignificant.
Just how powerful was the other party's strength?
And what was an existence even more powerful than an Immortal King Giant?
Could it be that the other party was an Emperor?
Could it be that this World had actually given birth to an Immortal Emperor once again?
But why were they unaware of it?
Because the other end of the Boundary Sea was a world completely separated from the Foreign Realm, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and the Immortal Domain.
Therefore, these Immortal King Giants were unaware of the arrival of the Outer Heaven Court and the arrival of the Heavenly Emperor.
They only assumed that Qin Hao was a suspected newly born Emperor of this World.
Was it truly an Immortal Emperor?
Only an Immortal Emperor could make them, these Immortal King Giants, feel such a desperate gap.
An Immortal King Giant had already jumped out; of course, jumping out was not to attack Qin Hao, for they were not that stupid.
An Immortal King Giant jumped out directly and bowed from afar toward Qin Hao.
"I provoked the senior just now; I am willing to work like an ox or a horse for the senior to make amends."
A dignified Immortal King did not even want his face, only wanting to be Qin Hao's servant.
This was not to say that this Immortal King had no shame, but rather that for such a long time, none of them had managed to Break King Become Emperor.
Now that they saw a glimmer of hope, they all wanted to take a gamble.
The other Immortal King Giants were secretly despising the person who spoke first, but in their actions, they did not fall behind.
"I am also willing to be the senior's ox or horse to atone for my own behavior."
"I am willing to follow the senior."
Originally, Qin Hao had been provoked by this group of ants and had wanted to slap them to death.
To a powerhouse of his caliber, these Immortal King Giants simply did not count for anything.
Who would have thought that these people here would be so sensible.
In view of how sensible they were, Qin Hao spared their lives and gave them a chance to live.
"If you truly wish to follow Me, then go to the other end of the Boundary Sea and report to the Heavenly Court."
Qin Hao did not say much more, left them with this sentence, and continued walking toward that deep, dark place.
And the various Immortal King Giants all looked at each other in dismay.
"What does this senior mean? And what kind of force is the Heavenly Court?"
"There is a Heavenly Court in this world; is that senior the Lord of the Heavenly Court?"
"Is the senior an Immortal Emperor?"
As for the person who asked this, the other Immortal King Giants all rolled their eyes.
An existence more powerful than them, these Immortal King Giants—if not an Immortal Emperor, then what?
"Once we return to that end of the Boundary Sea, we will know what has happened and who this senior is."
"Indeed, what has happened? In just this short time, has an Immortal Emperor been born?"
"Immortal King Giants are all very familiar with one another, yet this senior is extremely unfamiliar."
With many doubts in their hearts, the various Immortal King Giants prepared to cross the Boundary Sea and return to the other end of the Boundary Sea.
Qin Hao stepped forward, step by step, going deep until he arrived directly at the land of ultimate Darkness.
This expanse of heaven and earth was even darker than where he had been just moments ago; it was not merely darkness to the eyes, but a darkness of the rules themselves.
There was not a shred of vitality here; it was a dead land, filled with an aura of deathly silence.
It could even be said that even the light of the rules had been directly devoured.
Qin Hao remained unstained by a single speck of dust, stepping into it one step at a time, completely out of place with the surrounding Darkness, not tainted by even the slightest bit of dust.
And when he arrived before a shattered palace, he saw two characters upon it and could not help but read them aloud.
"Heavenly Court."
Yes, the Heavenly Court of this World.
Within the Perfect World, there also existed an Ancient Heavenly Court, though it was a pity that no one knew what had happened to it.
The Ancient Heavenly Court seemed to have encountered a curse; overnight, it fell apart, and that Lord of the Heavenly Court also vanished.
Qin Hao looked at these two characters for "Heavenly Court," which radiated a decaying, terrifying aura of Darkness.
He repeated a sentence, saying, "It is the Dark Heaven."
And just at this moment, a faint sighing sound echoed from above the void.
"Heavenly Court, what a long-forgotten name; in this era, is there actually still someone who knows of the Heavenly Court?"
Qin Hao could not help but look in the direction of the voice, as a majestic and terrifying pressure bore down upon him.
In the center of the palace was a supreme throne, and upon the throne sat a figure with their back to Qin Hao, looking down upon the heavens; the aura flowing casually from them was enough to make all things tremble.
He stood there, a single silhouette that forged itself into a pillar supporting the sky.
Solemn, sacred, and inviolable.
Qin Hao looked at this silhouette, his mouth curling slightly.
Within the Perfect World, the former Lord of the Heavenly Court, is it the Cang Emperor?
Every move of the Cang Emperor was enough to crush heaven and earth and make order bow its head, but in Qin Hao's eyes, it was like a clumsy child putting on a performance.
The Cang Emperor's majestic and cold voice rang out.
"Pilgrim, pious and sincere, coming from the other side of the sea, bowing with every step, all to seek an audience with this seat; having seen this seat, why do you not kneel?"
