Chapter 130: Human Immortal Alliance

"What, you still want to take me as a disciple now?"

Li Zhangsheng stood with his hands behind his back, looking down from his height at the Grand Void Immortal Emperor, his tone flat yet tinged with mockery!

Joking, you want to take me as a disciple?

"I... I..."

The Grand Void Immortal Emperor was literally terrified!

He crawled on the ground, his whole body shackled by an irresistible oppressive force, his bones cracking under the unbearable weight, blood gushing wildly from his mouth!

This High Immortal Emperor, who had lived for nearly ten million years, presiding over the Grand Void Immortal Sect and standing atop the celestial realm, now felt only endless fear and despair.

He summoned all his strength to trigger the Imperial Dao Law in resistance, but the space-time around him was like a wall of copper and iron!

His power before Li Zhangsheng was like fireflies compared to a bright moon—laughably insignificant!

He finally realized that the white‑robed youth before him was not a mere monster beneath an Immortal Emperor, but an existence that surpassed even a High Immortal Emperor!

He was blind as a bat, daring to take such a being as a disciple—truly a path to his own death!!

Heaven, am I crazy?!

The Grand Void Immortal Emperor was filled with boundless regret!

"S-senior, spare me!"

The Grand Void Immortal Emperor's voice was hoarse, his whole body trembling; the Imperial Sovereign's former arrogance had vanished, leaving only humble pleas: "I, a junior, failed to recognize the greatness before me, offended the heavenly authority, I beg you, senior, to raise your noble hand and spare my life!"

"I, the junior, am willing to offer all the foundations of the Grand Void Immortal Sect, to serve you eternally, only asking you to spare my life…"

He kept begging, in utter disgrace, bearing no trace of an Immortal Emperor at all!

Countless cultivators around had already been so frightened that their souls fled, daring not even a breath.

He was a High Immortal Emperor, after all!

The top elites of the celestial realm now knelt like a bereaved dog, pleading for mercy; this scene completely shattered their perception!

Purple Mist Immortal Emperor, Dragon Emperor, Azure Sky Immortal Emperor, and Heavenly Wave Immortal Emperor—the four Primary Immortal Emperors—were likewise bound to the ground, their hearts roiling with colossal waves!

Watching the Grand Void Immortal Emperor's plight, a chill surged from their feet to their heads, a shadow of death enveloping them completely.

Li Zhangsheng stared at the humbled Grand Void Immortal Emperor before him, his gaze unruffled, and continued mockingly:

"Weren't you going to take me as a disciple? Why are you begging now?"

"Grant me this opportunity; what are you, anyway!!"

Li Zhangsheng's tone was calm, each word a cold blade cutting into the Grand Void Immortal Emperor's heart!!

When his words fell, Li Zhangsheng said no more; his gaze slightly cold, he raised his right hand casually and lightly slapped down...

"No!!"

The Grand Void Immortal Emperor's eyes widened to the brink, letting out a scream of ultimate despair, his gaze filled with resentment and fear.

He didn't want to die!

He was a High Immortal Emperor, possessing endless longevity and supreme authority—how could he die here!

But no matter how he struggled, how he roared, the outcome could not change!

Boom!

A blast rang out!

The Grand Void Immortal Emperor, whose might had shaken the celestial realm for ten million years, had not a single ounce of resistance left, instantly turning into a cloud of blood, body and spirit annihilated!!!

The High Immortal Emperor fell thus!

Dead silence!!

The whole venue fell into dead silence!!!

Tens of thousands of cultivators in the crowd froze on the spot, pupils contracting, brains blank, as if all thought had vanished!

One could hear the falling of a needle; even the sound of breathing disappeared!!

Everyone stared blankly at the void, at the spot where the Grand Void Immortal Emperor turned to ash, bodies stiff, scalp tingling, souls trembling!!

Dead...

Grand Void Immortal Emperor... dead?!

Killed by a single slap?!

Heaven!!

He was a High Immortal Emperor!

He was the pinnacle of human strength in the celestial realm, a figure countless cultivators looked up to, yet he was brushed aside so casually?

Is this... still a human?

Countless cultivators' legs gave way, collapsing to the ground, cold sweat soaking their clothes, endless terror in their hearts!!

Luo Chen, Ye Ze, and Han Qisan stood behind Li Zhangsheng, as if accustomed!

This is their master!!

Whether you're a Mid-level Immortal Emperor or a High Immortal Emperor, before the master, it's nothing more than a snap of the fingers!

After slaying the Grand Void Immortal Emperor, Li Zhangsheng's gaze turned indifferent, slowly shifting to the four Primary Immortal Emperors collapsed on the ground.

Purple Mist Immortal Emperor, Dragon Emperor, Azure Sky Immortal Emperor, and Heavenly Wave Immortal Emperor—four of them—were instantly locked by his gaze, hair standing on end, nearly their souls fleeing!

"S-senior!"

Purple Mist Immortal Emperor's voice trembled, his soul detached, hurriedly saying, "We are not familiar with the Grand Void Immortal Emperor."

"We came this time unaware, merely to check the situation; please forgive any offense, senior!"

The other three Immortal Emperors also kowtowed in panic!

Their original purpose for coming was, of course, because Li Zhangsheng had slain the quasi‑Immortal Emperor peak of their lineage, and they intended to bring a punitive expedition against him.

But now, they no longer harbored any desire for retribution, only pleading that Li Zhangsheng spare their lives!

They also feared that Li Zhangsheng would slap them to death with one palm!

Li Zhangsheng's eyes were icy, his tone indifferent, without a trace of emotion: "You five great Celestial Emperor lineages, joining forces, sent strong ones to encircle and kill my three disciples!"

"How come, as esteemed Celestial Emperor lineages, you enjoy doing such bullying, using numbers to oppress the few?"

A single sentence, like a thunderclap from the nine heavens, exploded explosively beside the ears of the four Celestial Emperors!

"What?!"

They stared in shock, then their faces turned ashen as paper, their whole bodies trembling violently, as if plunged into an ice cellar!

Those three... they are actually this senior's disciples?!

Had we known, even if we gave them ten thousand courages, we wouldn't dare send people to pursue and kill them!

This is practically seeking their own death!

"Senior, spare our lives; we did not know those three were your beloved disciples. Had we known, even with ten thousand courages we would not dare harm them in the slightest!"

"We beg the senior for mercy; we are willing to compensate everything, willing to submit to the senior, pleading for the senior to spare our lives!"

"Senior, we know our mistake; please forgive us!"

The four Celestial Emperors wept tears and snot, frantically kowtowing to beg for mercy, their regret reaching the utmost extreme!!

Yet Li Zhangsheng's expression remained calm, showing no slightest waver; he is certainly not one who is soft-hearted and lenient!

Provoking his majesty, pursuing his disciples, Li Zhangsheng naturally must exterminate their lineage!

"Just be careful in your next life!"

Li Zhangsheng lightly uttered a sentence; as he spoke, he casually waved his hand, and four invisible forces instantly erupted!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Four explosions sounded almost simultaneously.

The Zixia Celestial Emperor, Dragon Emperor, Biluo Celestial Emperor, and Tianlan Celestial Emperor—four low-level Celestial Emperors—could not muster the slightest resistance, directly turning into blood mist, both body and soul annihilated!

Five Celestial Emperors, all executed!

The entire scene fell dead silent, not even a sparrow's chirp.

All cultivators lay prostrate on the ground, not even having the courage to lift their heads to glance at Li Zhangsheng!!

After slaying the five Celestial Emperors, Li Zhangsheng's expression remained calm, as if he had merely done an insignificant trifle.

He turned to look at his three disciples behind him, his tone returning to gentleness: "Let's go."

"Yes, Master!"

Luo Chen and the three responded respectfully!

Li Zhangsheng casually rolled his hand, a gentle force enveloping the three; his body moved, tearing the void, and they instantly vanished into the horizon!

Only after Li Zhangsheng's figure completely disappeared did the tens of thousands of cultivators present dare to slowly raise their heads, each heart and spirit trembling!!

Hiss!

Numerous cultivators drew in a breath of cold air!!

Good heavens, he slaughtered five Celestial Emperors in the snap of a finger!

Just what kind of existence is this white-clad youth?!

Today's affair is destined to cause an uproar throughout the Upper Celestial Realm!!

The Upper Celestial Realm, thoroughly shaken……

The five Celestial Emperors, one of them still a high-level Celestial Emperor, were all slain by a mysterious white-clad powerhouse!

And this powerhouse, merely because his disciples were pursued and killed, unleashed thunderous wrath and slaughtered them!

The news spread like wings, centered on the Ancient Celestial Forbidden Zone, wildly sweeping across the entire Upper Celestial Realm!

Countless lineages, countless forces, countless powerhouses, upon hearing the news, were all shocked to the point of terror, hearts filled with panic!

No one knows where this white-clad powerhouse who appeared out of nowhere truly hails from.

Meanwhile, Li Zhangsheng, accompanied by Luo Chen, Ye Ze, and Han Qi, traversed the void and found a place rich in immortal energy, with open terrain, a hidden and spiritually excellent locale!

Here, mountains stretch endlessly, immortal mist swirls, immortal veins converge, immortal energy suffuses the air—indeed a fairly good cultivation ground!

Li Zhangsheng planted his feet here, his white robes fluttering, hands clasped behind his back.

"From now on, let us establish the Longevity Sect here!"

As his words fell, Li Zhangsheng raised his hand and waved…

Hum!

The void violently trembled, a colossal cauldron silhouette gradually emerged—it was the World Ruins Cauldron!

The gigantic cauldron hovered in the high skies!

As Li Zhangsheng's power activated, the gigantic cauldron slowly opened, a vast and boundless continent slowly flew out from within, descending between heaven and earth!

The Thus line: Qinglan Dalu where the Longevity Sect resides descended here!

Immediately afterward, Li Zhangsheng waved his hand again, and the complete cave abode left behind by the Heavenly Expansion Celestial Emperor was also relocated, situated beside the Thus line: Qinglan Dalu!!

One realm, one cave abode, taking root here!

From then on, the Longevity Sect formally established itself in the Upper Celestial Realm!

Li Zhangsheng laid down some restrictions for the Longevity Sect to guard the mountain gate.

……

At the same time, within a supreme secret realm where immortal mist is ethereal and laws entwine!

Inside the secret realm, immortal energy is vast, the Dao resounds, and a colossal long stone table stretches across the void!

On either side of the stone table are more than ten enormous stone chairs, upon which sit towering figures with massive Divine Bodies and terrifying auras!

Each figure exudes an imperial might capable of suppressing a domain, all being genuine Celestial Emperor powerhouses!

More than ten Celestial Emperors have gathered here, currently convening a high-level meeting of the human race!

And these more than ten Immortal Emperors are all at peak Immortal Emperor or above (Immortal Emperor ranks: low, medium, high, peak, supreme!).

In the Upper Immortal Realm, there are three great transcendent forces, standing above all doctrines, governing the order of heaven and earth!

First, the Human Immortal Alliance!

Composed of human Immortal Emperors, totaling fifty-six, overseeing all human affairs, guarding human territory, it is the pinnacle of human combat strength!

Second, the Demon Immortal Alliance!

Composed of demon Immortal Emperors, totaling fifty-five, seated in the Demon Realm, commanding myriad demons, standing equal to the Human Immortal Alliance!

Third, the Origin God Sect!

Most mysterious, it acts on behalf of the will of the heavenly Dao's origin, enforcing heavenly laws and decrees; the number of its Immortal Emperors is unknown, its foundations unfathomable, an existence that neither the Human Immortal Alliance nor the Demon Immortal Alliance dares to provoke lightly!

These three great forces each occupy independent secret realms, rarely interfering in mortal disputes, yet they control the overall pattern of the Immortal Realm.

Whether it is the Human Immortal Alliance, the Demon Immortal Alliance, or the Origin God Sect, each has several supreme Immortal Emperors seated in command, their foundations incredibly terrifying!!

At this moment, inside the Myriad Emperors Hall, the atmosphere is extremely solemn!!

More than ten senior Immortal Emperors of the Human Immortal Alliance have solemn faces, discussing heatedly.

"Everyone, the news that has spread throughout the Immortal Realm these days, you must have heard of it, right?"

Above the chief seat, a supreme Immortal Emperor with a vast, ancient-sky-like aura slowly opened his voice, deep and resonant, echoing in the hall:

"Our human race's five Immortal Emperors—Zixia, Longhuang (human, merely cultivating the dragon clan's secret supreme art), Biluo, Tianlan, and Tai Xu—have all been slain by a mysterious white-clad cultivator."

"Among them, Tai Xu was even a high-grade Immortal Emperor!"

"When did such an Immortal Emperor powerhouse appear in the Immortal Realm, and why are we completely unaware?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall instantly exploded in an uproar!

"He is probably a reclusive Immortal Emperor somewhere, or perhaps an Immortal Emperor left over from ancient times!"

"His strength is unfathomable; with a single palm he slew a high-grade Immortal Emperor, at least a peak Immortal Emperor, possibly even of supreme Immortal Emperor caliber!"

"Out of nowhere, this powerhouse appeared and, with a single strike, wiped out five of our human Immortal Emperors; we have lost five Immortal Emperors—this matter cannot be let go lightly!"

"We must uncover his identity and impose severe punishment to deter others!"

Within the Human Immortal Alliance, there are three major factions, and at this moment their opinions differ.

The war faction's Immortal Emperor, face icy, shouted sternly: "Regardless of who he is, killing five of our human Immortal Emperors makes him an enemy of humanity!"

"We must dispatch powerful forces to suppress him, repaying blood with blood, tooth for tooth!"

The neutral faction's Immortal Emperor then mused: "Punishment need not be overly harsh; his combat power is formidable, and a death struggle would be inappropriate."

"Let him compensate with vast cultivation resources; as for the Chaos Myriad Dao Furnace, it is one of the Immortal Realm's seven great Chaos treasures, and must be handed over to the Human Immortal Alliance to uniformly nurture human juniors and strengthen our race's strength!"

Meanwhile, the moderate faction's Immortal Emperor shook his head and said slowly: "This person can instant-kill five Immortal Emperors with a single palm; his strength is supreme. If we can win him over, he will surely become a great aid to humanity in the future."

"We are all members of the human race; if we clash with him, whichever side suffers loss, it is ultimately a loss for humanity. In my view, there is no need to become enemies—we should simply recruit him into the Human Immortal Alliance."

"If we press him too hard and he defects to the Demon Immortal Alliance, would we not be losing a peak-or-above Immortal Emperor powerhouse for nothing?"

"Everyone, be cautious; previously, several Immortal Emperors were driven by us into other camps—why have you learned nothing from those lessons?"

……

The three factions each hold their own views, arguing without cease!

After a fierce discussion and dispute, eventually everyone reached a consensus!

"We cannot engage in a death battle with him, nor can we let him go easily."

"Send someone to the Changsheng Gate founded by that white-clad Immortal Emperor, and demand he compensate with sufficient cultivation resources!"

"Furthermore, hand over the Chaos Myriad Dao Furnace to the Human Immortal Alliance for unified allocation, to nurture powerful human cultivators!"

"If he refuses, we will reconsider our plans!!"

After the decision was made, the chief Immortal Emperor on the high seat swept his gaze and finally locked onto a stern-aured, battle-intent-soaring Immortal Emperor:

"Pò'è, this matter—you will go to the Changsheng Gate, deliver the command of our Human Immortal Alliance, and gauge that white-clad Immortal Emperor's attitude!"

The named Pò'è Immortal Emperor rose, his stature upright, surrounded by a fierce aura of destroying myriad laws, and simply replied with one word: "Yes!"
