Chapter 721: Anger

~16 min read 3,199 words

These manifestations joined forces, and the surrounding immortal power steamed, as if a silver-white wave of immortal power rippled out of thin air, spreading and surging toward the surroundings.

In that steaming immortal power, ancient and complex immortal patterns appeared. Immediately after, it was as if some secret formation was opened in the void.

And outside the Yan-Chu Qin Xianchao, in the nine thousand immortal cities, the barriers of one city after another suddenly lit up. Subsequently, the power buried within the cities poured into the barriers, and starlight shone from the horizon onto a majestic monument in the center of each city.

The monument received the starlight, and then, as if guided, its whole body was entwined with thunder light, suddenly rushing toward the sky, scattering the clouds and mist, and connecting with the Ancient Immortal Realm within the Immortal Capital Imperial City that spanned hundreds of millions of miles of territory.

In the clouds and mist above the nine thousand immortal cities, the outline of the Ancient Immortal Realm was reflected.

The figures of the heaven-defying talent disciples of various sects gathered from the nine thousand immortal cities all appeared one by one in the reflected clouds and mist.

At this moment, the heaven-defying talents who could stand in this Ancient Immortal Realm had already entered the eyes of countless people.

The twenty thousand heaven-defying talents carefully selected from various sects all looked up. Above the heads of the thirty-six old men from the National Supervision Institute, in the steaming immortal clouds, the outlines of immortal cities also appeared vaguely.

In the end, the scene reflected there settled on a majestic Imperial Palace.

That was the ancient capital Imperial Palace of the Yan-Chu Qin Xianchao, the place where the Yan-Chu Emperor, who sat in charge of the nine thousand immortal cities and endless territory, resided.

And that Imperial Palace was also reflected and spread throughout the nine thousand immortal cities. Everyone looked up. Many generals in various cities knelt down to worship one after another, and countless commoners also had pious and awe-filled faces. Many noble families also lowered their heads that overlooked all living beings. In front of the projection of that majestic Imperial Palace, they were like quails and ants with drooping heads.

"That is the Imperial Palace where the Yan-Chu Emperor resides. Only those at the King Realm can attend court and meet him..."

In the Ancient Immortal Realm, elders and disciples of various sects had awe and light in their eyes, all wanting to personally ascend that Imperial Hall, but they also knew that if they didn't become a King Realm, they would never have the qualification to step foot there in their entire lives.

And how difficult it was to cultivate to the King Realm. The Immortal Monarch Realm was one heaven for every step, and the gap between the ten levels of the realm was extremely large, with a bottleneck at every step.

"At this very moment, all the world of our Great Yan-Chu knows you!"

Chu Xiangtian looked at the Imperial Palace phantom, knowing that in the formation behind the Imperial Palace, the scene of this Ancient Immortal Realm had already been reflected to all parts of the nine thousand immortal cities.

His gaze lowered, he looked at Li Hao and the other nine, then raised his hand again, pulling the immortal laws and acting on the black Immortal Stele.

The Immortal Stele vibrated, golden light floated on it, and Zhang Xuanyu, who was ranked eleventh, was shone upon by the golden light. His face was extremely cold. He withdrew his gaze from the Imperial Palace, returned to the youth on the Ascending Immortal Platform, and suddenly leaped away.

Soon, he landed quietly beside Li Hao.

"Did you break the Thirteenth Desolate Domain?"

Just after landing on the Ascending Immortal Platform, Zhang Xuanyu stared at Li Hao with cold eyes and asked.

If the other party was at the Second Level of the Immortal Monarch Realm, equivalent to his realm, he would have lost with frustration, but he would have accepted it.

But the youth in front of him was actually only at the True Immortal Realm, which made him hard to accept.

"No."

Li Hao looked at the other party and immediately knew that he was the "former tenth" mentioned by old man Li. Seeing the undisguised hostile gaze from the other party, Li Hao had no interest in chatting more.

"No? Then how long did you stay in the Twelfth Desolate Domain?"

Zhang Xuanyu couldn't help but say sternly.

Li Hao raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "Is it necessary to tell you?"

"You!"

Zhang Xuanyu's face changed. As an Immortal Monarch, no True Immortal had ever dared to speak to him like this.

The gap between the True Immortal Realm and the Immortal Monarch Realm was extremely large. If it was said that the True Immortal was just transforming power into pure immortal power, then the Immortal Monarch Realm was already mastering immortal laws, and immortal laws could make the holy laws controlled by the True Immortal all ineffective.

This was equivalent to a confrontation between someone without law power and someone who controlled law power, and the other party's immortal power was also thicker than yours, almost impossible to contend with!

But there were exceptions. The four levels of space origin mastered by Li Hao were already at a level that only the Immortal Monarch Realm could touch, and as a top-tier sequence, most Immortal Monarch Realm monsters might not have mastered it. Even if they had some understanding, they hadn't reached the depth of the fourth level.

And the other sequence origins Li Hao mastered were also at the second or third level, which was extremely rare among True Immortals.

Seeing that this youth no longer paid attention to him, Zhang Xuanyu's face was ugly, as if his things had been snatched by someone, and when he asked for an explanation, he felt like he had been slapped.

If it weren't for the consideration of Chu Xiangtian beside him, as well as the Yan-Chu sects below, including the countless Yan-Chu citizens in the nine thousand immortal cities who were watching at this moment, he would never have let it go.

"I hope that when the Southern Region Battle comes, you can still be so stubborn!"

Zhang Xuanyu gritted his teeth and said to Li Hao in an extremely low voice.

Li Hao's eyes were cold. Although he was always calm and breezy, and relatively casual about everything, it didn't mean that others could climb on his head.

Their identities weren't master and servant. Not answering every question was called stubborn?

"Don't look for trouble with me."

Li Hao didn't avoid it at all, staring coldly at the other party and saying.

Zhang Xuanyu's face changed. He cared about his face in his heart and didn't dare to make a scene, but this youth was bolder than him, and his words were more direct.

He stared at Li Hao fixedly, his fists clenched, and finally held back, not speaking, so as not to affect the sect's face.

Seeing that the other party didn't make a sound, Li Hao was too lazy to pay attention to him again.

However, although the conversation between the two was obscure, the other nine on the Ascending Immortal Platform all heard it. Some glanced over, the corners of their mouths revealing a playful arc, obviously holding an attitude of watching a good show.

"Using the sect's immortal weapon foundation to mix your way up is not a glorious thing. You have to pay the price."

The Imperial Princess from before said with disdain on the corner of her mouth.

Her manner of speaking was slow and methodical, and her gaze wasn't looking at Li Hao, just looking calmly ahead, like talking to the air, but the humiliating nature of this posture was stronger.

Li Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, treating it as wind in his ears, and didn't pay attention.

Xing Lan frowned slightly. Having accompanied this youth for a period of time at the border, the other party's means and posture of beheading ancient demons were definitely real skills. Even if he borrowed the power of immortal weapons here, he wouldn't borrow too much. With his own skills, she felt he could at least rank in the top thirty.

Among the True Immortal Realm, she hadn't seen a character more powerful than this youth.

Whoosh!

At this time, light appeared on the Immortal Stele again, and a golden light shot out, shrouding an Imperial Clan youth.

This youth's eyes were gloomy, staring directly at the youth figure on the Ascending Immortal Platform. He rose from the ground, whistling away, carrying great majesty, and landed on the Ascending Immortal Platform.

After standing still, he didn't wait for the thirteenth person to ascend the platform, but turned his head to look at Li Hao and said:

"Kid, a mere True Immortal Realm, running to the top of a group of us Immortal Monarch Realms. I don't care if you are following the sect's orders, wanting to use this to make a name for the sect, or to make a name for yourself, just obediently get down, get down to the position you should be in!"

His eyes were cold, carrying an overbearing command, seeming to speak unquestioningly, and his eyes revealed cold disgust.

His voice wasn't as secretive as Zhang Xuanyu's. In an instant, not only did everyone on the Ascending Immortal Platform hear it, but the sect elders and disciples with stronger strength below the Ascending Immortal Platform also heard these words.

For the True Immortal Realm, the sound of mosquitoes crawling within a thousand miles could be perceived, let alone the sound of this normal communication.

Hearing the words of this Imperial Clan Prince, Zhang Xuanyu was startled, his eyes suddenly lit up slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, looking at Li Hao mockingly. He didn't dare to make a scene, having too many concerns, but this Imperial Clan Prince didn't have as many concerns as him.

People who break the rules will always be taught a lesson!

"Tian Zheng, don't cause trouble!"

Hearing this, Chu Xiangtian's face sank slightly, and he shouted in a low voice.

Hearing his Third Brother's words, Chu Tianzheng's eyes didn't change, but he bowed and said: "Third Brother, our clan treats people with kindness, but we shouldn't let some people break the rules. When the Southern Region Battle comes, it's not allowed to take out immortal weapons and immortal medicine as assistance. The competition is based on real ability. How can he make other geniuses convinced like this!"

Chu Xiangtian's face changed slightly, staring at him, his eyes flickering, as if considering how to deal with this sudden situation.

And Chu Tianzheng's words spread, and the disciples of various sects below were stunned, looking at each other, and suddenly someone revealed a look of realization.

"Is that guy using immortal weapons to rush to the tenth place? No wonder, I said how could the True Immortal Realm rush to the tenth place."

"Exactly, the Immortal Monarch Realms behind him are ranked more than twenty places away. Can he surpass the Immortal Monarch Realm?"

"Are you telling a joke? The True Immortal Realm surpassing the Immortal Monarch Realm, is this the latest cold joke in the last sixty years?"

"If that youth is from Da Meng Jiuyuan, it has long been heard that Da Meng Jiuyuan covets the position of the Heavenly Sect. This time they are really trying hard, but this means is a bit unglamorous. Famous for a while, when the Southern Region Battle comes, wearing the tenth-place title, and being killed in one move, that would be too ugly to look at."

!

"The wishful thinking of Da Meng Jiuyuan is just to reach this step. As for the Southern Region Battle, I guess they haven't even thought about it. The foundation of the Fourth Heavenly Sect can't be on the stage at the Southern Region Battle."

"Exactly, but they are indeed famous this time."

Various sects were discussing, including those disciples of the Earth Sect, glancing at the Da Meng Jiuyuan people below, their eyes also revealing contempt, sneers, and disdain.

Hearing these discussions, the faces of Li Tiemu, Zhou Qingyun, and others all changed. Li Tiemu was so angry that his cheeks were red, his eyeballs were almost popping out, and his blood seemed to be burning. He wanted to roar and scold, but he knew that this would only attract more ridicule. At this moment, he just clenched his fists tightly, and his teeth were almost broken.

"This group of bastards, they don't understand the real situation at all, yet they speak so casually!"

"When the crowd mocks, they follow along to trample, and they feel righteous!"

"Hao Tian's strength, in the True Immortal Realm, I admire him! These people... a bunch of trash!"

In the crowd, Gu Yan's eyes were cold, scanning other sects coldly, especially those mocking gazes, which were stared back fiercely by his cold eyes.

Zhou Qingyun and the old woman had ugly faces, and the disciples under their sect were also full of grievance, looking at the surroundings angrily.

And the elders of other abysses had changing faces. A Spear Abyss elder transmitted his voice to Li Tiemu, saying:

"Old Li, is your disciple using immortal weapons to climb up?"

Hearing the voice transmission, Li Tiemu's face changed slightly, and his clenched fist paused slightly. He wanted to fight back angrily, but suddenly, the words reached his lips and were blocked again. He wanted to say it but couldn't.

Is it?

He didn't know either.

On the Imperial Sword Mountain, the youth's performance was unexpected, but the Immortal Stele tenth... He suddenly felt a sense of cold water pouring over his head.

No matter how strong the True Immortal Realm is, it's impossible to compare with the Immortal Monarch Realm. This is almost an iron rule.

But occasionally there are miracles that break this iron rule. But, did he really not borrow other power at all?

He couldn't guarantee it either.

However, he soon transmitted back: "Elder Sun, even if Hao Tian borrows immortal weapons, this Ancient Immortal Realm has no rules or restrictions. What kind of rule-breaking is this!"

The elder who transmitted the voice changed his face slightly, his eyes flickered for a moment, nodded, and transmitted: "At this very moment, we must be consistent with the outside world. The Imperial Clan does not have such rule requirements."

Li Tiemu gritted his teeth and said: "Exactly, do disciples of other sects not play some small tricks? I don't believe it!"

While they were talking, Murong Qingwu and Yue Xi beside them looked at the Ascending Immortal Platform with worry.

At this moment on the Ascending Immortal Platform, Chu Tianzheng stared coldly at Li Hao, carrying an aggressive spirit, saying:

"Are you going to get down yourself, or do you want me to invite you?!"

Li Hao didn't expect that he would become the target of public criticism in an instant, with gazes gathered. For him, who didn't like to be publicized, this felt extremely uncomfortable.

Before he could speak, Xing Lan, who was standing in fifth place, suddenly said:

"Prince Tian Zheng, the Imperial Clan doesn't forbid the use of immortal weapons. You don't have to make people look so ugly on such an occasion, right?"

Chu Tianzheng looked up, swept a glance at Xing Lan, and when his gaze fell on that beautiful and flawless face, the coldness in his eyes dissipated a lot, and he said coldly:

"It's him who is humiliating himself. If he had just run to the thirty-something place, no one would care, and mixing his way up would be fine. But he shouldn't have mixed his way up so blatantly, too much!"

Xing Lan frowned and said: "You are a Prince, this is not the bearing you should have."

"As a member of the Imperial Clan, it's not your turn to point fingers as a sect disciple, right?"

At this time, an Imperial Clan youth ranked fourth beside Xing Lan spoke indifferently, looking at Xing Lan with disdain and looking down, not moved at all by the other party's peerless beauty, his eyes only showing the coldness of power and strength.

Hearing this, Xing Lan's face changed slightly, and a trace of anger appeared in her eyes.

The Imperial Princess ranked seventh also glanced at Xing Lan indifferently and said:

"Exactly, the bearing of my Imperial Clan is already generous enough. Otherwise, it wouldn't be moving the mouth, but directly moving the hands!"

Xing Lan's face looked a bit ugly and she was about to speak again, but Li Hao spoke first, saying:

"No need to say more."

Hearing Li Hao's words, Xing Lan's words stopped at her lips. She looked at the youth, a trace of complexity appearing in her eyes, carrying regret and pity.

She felt that this youth had accepted his fate and bowed his head under the majesty of the Imperial Clan, which made her appreciation and favor for the latter decrease a lot.

But she also knew that this was a rational choice and a correct choice.

Just as she looked over with pity, she found that the youth also turned to look at her, and then revealed a smile at her.

On the handsome and heroic youth's face, that smile was bright red and white, like the sunshine in the third month of spring, making people somewhat dazed, as brilliant as the mottled golden light between the broken leaves.

While Xing Lan was slightly stunned, Li Hao had already withdrawn his gaze, and at the same time took a step forward, turned around to look at Chu Tianzheng, and said:

"I don't like to argue with people. Aren't you at the Immortal Monarch Realm? Take out your ability. If you can make me move a step, I will voluntarily go down."

His voice came, neither publicized nor low-key, just clear and cold, ringing on the Ascending Immortal Platform. Similarly, it also rang in the ears of the elders and disciples of various sects below the Ascending Immortal Platform.

Chu Tianzheng was stunned, and Zhang Xuanyu, who was standing beside him, was also stunned, looking at Li Hao with a look of astonishment.

Xing Lan felt a stone drop in her heart lake, and her heart seemed to tremble slightly. She widened her eyes, staring at the youth.

That quiet face, those deep and calm eyes, didn't show any forcing, nor could any anger be seen.

The Ascending Immortal Platform fell into a short silence, but soon, Chu Tianzheng came back to his senses and couldn't help but be laughed at by anger.

"You really have ability. It seems your sect has prepared a lot of confidence for you. Are you challenging me?"

Li Hao's eyes gradually turned cold and said: "The one looking for trouble is you, challenging you? You don't have the qualification to be an opponent yet!"
