Chapter 1425: Source Emperor (First update, requesting everything)

Time flowed by like a white horse galloping past a crack in the wall; half a month passed before one knew it.

The border region between the Eastern Region, the Southeastern Region, and the Central Region had been a place of intense focus for many Stronger during this period.

That's right, this was the area where the Xuan Emperor Mausoleum was located.

On this day, countless Stronger set out to arrive here, for no other reason than that the Xuan Emperor Mausoleum had trembled again yesterday, with only a three-day interval since the last time.

The Xuan Emperor Mausoleum was about to emerge!

By two o'clock in the afternoon, more and more Stronger had arrived in the vicinity.

Among them, there were nearly five hundred King-Rank Beast Masters alone, and the number was still increasing.

Many of these King-Rank Beast Masters and Double-Character Kings were rulers of nations, while quite a few were independent cultivators; however, ever since the Human Emperor initiated the great war, independent cultivators had become targets for major factions to win over, and their numbers had decreased significantly compared to before.

Of course, the majority were still non-King-Rank Beast Masters; they mainly wanted to see the world, and if possible, take a sip of the soup while they were at it.

Naturally, there was no lack of people among them who wanted to ascend to the heavens in a single step, and many were Heavenly Pride with lofty ambitions.

Besides the human race, some heads of major factions also arrived, such as those from the Manghuang Forest, the Death Desert, and the Extreme North Ice Plain.

While waiting, familiar Stronger spontaneously gathered to form temporary teams; some with greater ambition even assembled many Stronger, hoping to get a share of the spoils in this grand event—these opportunists were basically all Double-Character Kings.

Ding-dong~

Accompanied by the ringing of bells resounding through the heavens and earth, as if by prior agreement, purple energy rose in the south, west, and north; this was the unique celestial phenomenon of an Emperor's procession.

In the north, nine giant dragons, each a hundred meters long, dragged a massive palace as they flew over; this was the Nine Dragon Palace of the Xuan Emperor, with the Xuan Emperor and Tuidi standing upon it. If one observed closely, one would find that Tuidi's position was a step behind the Xuan Emperor, completely in the manner of a subordinate.

Both being Ninth-Rank Demon Tamers, Tuidi's attainment of his position was not legitimate; his ability to become an Emperor was inseparable from the Xuan Emperor, and before becoming an Emperor, he naturally had to swear allegiance to the Xuan Emperor before the Heavenly Dao, which absolutely came at a heavy price.

The reason the Heavenly Dao bestowed the name Tuidi upon him was likely for this very reason.

At this moment, Tuidi appeared calm on the surface, but he was quite nervous inside, because before long he would encounter other Emperors, Emperor Ranks, and even the King of Ten Thousand Saints.

Tuidi had self-awareness and knew very well that his strength was definitely at the bottom among these people, ranking only tenth, and it was even possible he couldn't even hold onto tenth place.

To tell the truth, Tuidi would rather have stayed hidden; he truly did not want to wade into these muddy waters because he felt his danger coefficient was very high. After all, he was the bottom-dweller among the ten, unable to defeat anyone, and if a dispute broke out, the possibility of him falling was the greatest.

Unfortunately, Tuidi was merely a puppet without the power to decide, and under the Xuan Emperor's orders, he had no choice but to come.

Compared to Tuidi, the Xuan Emperor was also not at peace, and this was likewise related to strength.

Although he was one of the Three Sovereigns, he ranked at the very bottom, and among the Six Emperors, Tuidi was firmly at the bottom; the key was that there were only two of them, and reflected in the four major human factions, the Xuan Emperor's side was indisputably at the bottom.

In the west, a massive blood-colored flying carriage dragged blood flames behind it as it sped past.

On the blood-colored flying carriage, three people stood side by side: the Blood Emperor, dressed in a blood robe, stood in the middle, with the Thunder Emperor and a man in a silver robe standing on either side.

The silver-robed man looked unremarkable, with only a pair of eyes occasionally flashing with sharp light; however, being able to stand side by side with the Blood Emperor and the Thunder Emperor, his status was naturally equal—he was the Source Emperor, known for his mystery.

The Source Emperor had attained the Dao two or three thousand years ago; his origins were mysterious, and he had always acted very low-key, with the number of times he had shown his face being countable on one hand.

Since the Human Emperor started the war, this was the first time the Source Emperor had appeared; clearly, the Xuan Emperor Mausoleum held a fatal attraction for him, forcing him to come.

As for why he joined the Blood Emperor's side, only he knew the reason.

With the addition of the Source Emperor, the Blood Emperor's side could be described as having morale like a rainbow, with a trend of catching up from behind.

In the south, a strange snake with nine heads flew over.

This was the Nine Infants; its nine heads resembled both snakes and dragons, with an ox body, a Dragon Tail, and a pair of wings that blotted out the sky and sun, possessing both Water Attribute and Fire Element.

This Nine Infants was massive, a full seven or eight hundred meters long, and it exuded an aura as mighty as a prison; it had already transcended the Demon Emperor Level, yet there was still a certain gap from the Emperor Rank.

Clearly, this was the Wudi's Wei Huangji Nine Infants.

Not long ago, when it was still an Eight Infants, it reached the Wei Huangji level with the help of the power of a Secondary Great Dao Crystal; to deepen his relationship with the Wudi and incidentally help the Wudi's strength advance further, Li Zhangsheng spent a fortune to purchase Spirit Beasts with the Nine Infants Bloodline.

After Wendi and the Wudi received the news, they also joined the acquisition ranks; although the Nine Infants Bloodline was extremely rare, under the joint efforts of the three regional rulers, they completed the collection not long ago, allowing the Wudi's Eight Infants to evolve into a Nine Infants.

The only pity was that the Nine Infants did not use this to remove the "Pseudo" prefix and remained at the Wei Huangji level, resulting in the Wudi not becoming the Wudi.

Even so, the Wudi was still incredibly grateful for Li Zhangsheng's actions.

Thus, when the three of them traveled together to the Xuan Emperor Mausoleum, the Wudi resolutely used the Nine Infants as a means of transport and gave the main head of the Nine Infants to Li Zhangsheng, while he and Wendi landed on the heads on either side, using this to distinguish between primary and secondary.

Li Zhangsheng declined for a moment, but seeing the Wudi's firm expression, he finally agreed.

Besides the three of them, they also brought many King-Rank Beast Masters and Double-Character Kings, totaling a hundred people, which was the maximum they could bring out.

Not only that, there were also over two hundred Pseudo-Kings.

Besides being used to bolster their prestige, they also had a great use: they could serve as Star Lords for the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array.

However, because the time was too short, these temporary Star Lords were not proficient, their operation was not smooth enough, and it was hard to guarantee there wouldn't be loopholes.

Even so, if a Ninth-Rank Demon Tamer were trapped in the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array, they would be in danger of falling; if Li Zhangsheng, Wendi, and the Wudi were added to the mix, it would absolutely be a situation of nine deaths and one life.

In the span of a few breaths, the three major factions landed separately, though there was a large distance between the three parties.

"Greetings to the Blood Emperor!"

"Greetings to the Xuan Emperor!"

"Greetings to the King of Ten Thousand Saints!"

At this time, the Stronger who were not in the three camps bowed respectfully one after another, fearing that the three parties would block them out and not even leave them a bit of soup.

At the same time, their hearts were filled with doubts.

"Strange, why haven't the Human Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor come?"

"Perhaps they want to be the finale."

"That's too arrogant; aren't they afraid other factions will secretly unite to divide the Xuan Emperor Mausoleum together?"

In secret, people discussed in low voices; they didn't know what was going on, but eight of the Three Sovereigns, Six Emperors, and one King of Ten Thousand Saints had arrived, with only the Human Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor missing.

Logically speaking, this shouldn't be; no matter how much they disliked each other, they couldn't be indifferent to the Xuan Emperor Mausoleum that was about to open.

Roar~ Chirp~ Whoosh~

Just at this moment, strange sounds came from afar, and three more major factions rushed over from all directions, vying to be the first.
