Though he concealed it with a powerful stealth technique, it could not fully hide from the eyes of a Xian Wang, and his realm surpassed all other Xian Jun competitors, reaching Xian Jun Seventh Layer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Know that the seventh level of the Immortal Lord realm is already considered a high-ranking Immortal Lord, with the Immortal Dao principles nearly perfected, allowing one to even reverse-kill Elder Immortal Lords at the peak level!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A full major realm difference, plus seven layers, and he was a pseudo-imperial heir—no matter how extraordinary the boy was, he had no chance of survival unless the opponent held back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Imperial Clan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Meng Wanning and the other Da Meng Clan Xian Wangs’ faces turned grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had already been a nine-in-ten-death scenario, with a Supreme Being watching overhead without comment, and now this imperial clan’s pseudo-imperial heir had appeared to torment him—was today truly Li Hao’s death day? Would this boy, like countless fleeting lights in the river of time, vanish in an instant?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Linchen’s expression changed upon hearing the words, turning dark; his usually indifferent gaze now brimmed with killing intent and fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what answered his fury was the opponent’s cold, detached gaze—looking down upon him from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a pseudo-imperial heir of the imperial clan, his status towered over prodigies like Di Linchen; if the latter failed to compete for the pseudo-imperial heir title before a Xian Wang, he would merely become a pillar of the clan, destined to serve under him in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing those eyes, Di Linchen understood perfectly: his burning rage and killing intent suddenly faded. He stared deeply at the man, clenched his fingers, then slowly unclenched them, turning to Li Hao with an apologetic expression:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry. I meant to help you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao knew it wasn’t his fault and shook his head slightly: “No matter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Li Hao’s calm demeanor, Di Linchen could somewhat understand his state of mind—when the despair is great enough, anger and madness become meaningless, leaving only the stillness before the storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His lips twitched slightly as he gazed at Li Hao and whispered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No matter what happens today, I will forever remember you as a friend.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao no longer harbored hope of breaking out—he only wondered whether, if he gave everything, he could wound this imperial clan prodigy’s wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pity I won’t get to drink your wine again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao shook his head gently, his gaze fixed on the pseudo-imperial heir, his eyes narrowing as his killing intent and Xian energy quietly gathered and coalesced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Linchen saw Li Hao’s intent to fight to the death and said nothing more; he had come to the Southern Region to compete in the tournament solely to secure a spot in the Primordial True Realm, to strengthen himself, and return home to compete for the pseudo-imperial heir title.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had wanted to whisper to Li Hao that he would avenge him, but such words were meaningless, and he ultimately said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is your name?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao stared at the imperial clan prodigy and spoke firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are not worthy to know my name.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pseudo-imperial heir spoke coldly, his gaze carrying supreme disdain and indifference—an innate quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“His name is Di Jiming!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Linchen spoke up beside Li Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Di Jiming’s eyes grew slightly colder as he glanced at Di Linchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not care about his name being exposed—he simply felt these people were unworthy to hear it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others came to the Southern Region to gain fame, desperate for their names to be known across the land; but he came not for that. As an imperial clan member, he even scorned fame, scorned letting the world know him—for he and his kind were like heavenly emperors, while ordinary mortals were mere filth crawling in the mud, unworthy even to utter his name, lest they defile its nobility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How arrogant this imperial clan is!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course—they’re pseudo-imperial heirs, top-tier prodigies even within the imperial clan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With imperial clan resources to cultivate them, as pseudo-imperial heirs, they will at least become top-tier Immortal Kings in the future, even with the potential to reach the Semi-Emperor realm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If a pseudo-imperial heir is this terrifying, what about an imperial heir?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Needless to say—the imperial clan’s imperial heirs are future Great Emperors-in-waiting, nurtured by their family. Unless they court death themselves, have you ever heard of an imperial heir perishing in the last hundred thousand years?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the Southern Region, countless people murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The imperial clan was not native to the Southern Region, but its name echoed through all four regions, even resonating loudly in the Primordial True Realm—for it was the strongest clan in the true realm in the last hundred thousand years!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even a pseudo-imperial heir shouldn’t be this cruel!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I thought imperial clans were all like that True Immortal—kind-hearted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True. How dare a Xian Jun dare fight a True Immortal? What realm is he even in? Earlier, his soul lifespan was measured at around nine hundred years—probably Xian Jun Third Layer?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was murmuring, but soon, all chatter fell silent as Di Jiming unleashed his Xian energy without concealment—around his body, Xian energy flowed like a translucent river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, luminous shadows emerged, projected from distant starry heavens—indeed, the Celestial Star Veins!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And because of his Xian Jun realm and his peak Xian body, the Celestial Star Veins’ radiance outshone Li Hao’s, spreading far wider!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the release of this aura, countless observers immediately recognized Di Jiming’s realm: Xian Jun Seventh Layer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the entire Southern Region fell silent—including the other Xian Jun competitors—all faces filled with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xian Jun Seventh Layer…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Tianhuang, Boya Xuejian, and others’ pupils contracted deeply, revealing astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all top-tier prodigies, yet even within their own realm, they had no confidence to face an imperial clan member—let alone their pseudo-imperial heir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his realm surpassed theirs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their cultivation was still concealed, with many hidden cards; their openly revealed realm was only Fourth Layer, but their true realm was Fifth Layer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet compared to him, they were two layers behind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gap between each Xian Jun layer equaled the gap of four layers in True Immortal realm—in other words, these two layers were equivalent to True Immortal Eighth Layer! If they fought, the outcome was certain—they were no match for him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he revealed his realm, it meant he would surely crush Li Hao to death—otherwise, it would be a grave disgrace to both the imperial clan and Di Jiming himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xian Jun Seventh Layer… my heavens, isn’t he only nine hundred soul years old?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nine hundred years and already Xian Jun Seventh Layer? What monster is this? Is this what an imperial clan pseudo-imperial heir truly is?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heaven, is he going all out? Xian Jun Seventh Layer—just a breath could kill a True Immortal at peak!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Hao has ninety-some soul years; Di Jiming has nine hundred—tenfold difference. But their realms differ by seven layers!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since cultivation becomes harder later, does that mean Di Jiming’s talent is even more monstrous than Li Hao’s?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, you can’t calculate it that way—Di Jiming was born into the imperial clan, raised with unimaginable resources from childhood. Li Hao merely inherited the legacy of a deceased Xian Emperor. His three IOUs didn’t seem fake—if he had equal cultivation resources, he might be even higher!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Regardless, this pseudo-imperial heir is too outrageous—this power level, no one else in the Xian Jun competition could possibly challenge him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless people murmured in awe, feeling as if they had glimpsed a corner of the imperial clan’s veil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other several great clan Xian Jun competitors also paled; they had concealed their cultivation and possessed many hidden techniques—but… even his revealed realm already towered above them all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he was only nine hundred soul years old, yet already dominated the Southern Region—many among them were already over two thousand soul years old, more than double his age!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Di Jiming!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Wanning and the other Da Meng Clan Xian Wangs had long sensed Di Jiming’s realm, but never expected him to reveal it—this extinguished their last sliver of hope; he had no intention of holding back or showing mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That Li Hao is going to die—will our Southern Region’s once-in-a-hundred-thousand-years prodigy be crushed by the imperial clan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the mountain peak, all factions gazed upward, their expressions complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Imperial Clan…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far away, in some corner of the immortal dynasty, Mi Xueyao narrowed her eyes. The pseudo-imperial heir of the true realm’s greatest clan—his talent was indeed ferocious, no worse than hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet if she could claim that boy, leverage his miraculous cooking skills, she would surely grow at an accelerated pace—but alas… such a wonder was about to perish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was beneath the Supreme Being’s gaze, in the heart of the Southern Region. Even her father would not dare intervene—now, she could only watch helplessly as the human who had spent months beside her met his end before her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond mourning his miraculous cooking, she felt another pang of regret and sorrow—the boy had felt different from other humans; his death made the world seem a little less colorful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with the revelation of his Xian Jun Seventh Layer cultivation, the furious Xian energy drawn by the Celestial Star Veins made Li Hao’s hair fly wildly, his body pushed backward as if caught in a raging tide, unable to stand—like standing before a towering wave, about to be swallowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merely his aura could pull at his body—the disparity was incalculable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao’s gaze grew deeper. He did not know whether, if he shattered his entire bloodline, burned his Celestial Star Veins, and pushed every extreme to its limit, he could break off even a single feather from this man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he gathered strength, Di Jiming’s back manifested a towering, magnificent spiritual form—like an ancient emperor rising from the earth, radiating a sky-piercing aura; within this form lay a trace of imperial might—the true dignity of a Xian Emperor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That trace of imperial might was equivalent to the imperial intent contained in Li Hao’s Five Ultimate Emperor Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, all who still clung to a sliver of hope for Li Hao now saw only despair in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Di Jiming’s forehead shimmered—a golden fissure opened, like an ancient third eye. From this imperial mark surged overwhelming pressure: a sealed power, unique to the imperial clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This power allowed him to easily defeat peers of his own realm, even kill enemies above him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding heavens and earth churned with stormy energy, shrouded in Xian force; the sun and moon dimmed. Di Jiming’s body became the center of the world, the sole radiance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling that pressure, the Xian Jun competitors atop the mountain—including those across the Southern Region—all paled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xian Jun cultivators, they alone truly felt how immense and terrifying this pressure was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even many Xian Jun peak masters from across the regions now wore solemn, complex expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They felt that if they faced this imperial clan’s pseudo-imperial heir, they might not even defeat him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had cultivated for tens of thousands of years—some for seventy or eighty thousand—and yet they were inferior to this nine-hundred-year-old monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s going to die…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside Chu Tianhuang, Chu Yue Li stared blankly at the scene, her face shifting endlessly until only sorrow remained—and intense resentment toward the boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for grief? None. To her, he was merely a tool to elevate her imperial clan’s status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Di… Jiming…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the outer edge of the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower’s disciples, Lin Qingying’s eyes reflected the sky, her gaze trembling with the spiderweb-like Celestial Star Veins. Her fingers had clenched so tightly her nails dug into her flesh—but her expression remained as still as a deep well, silently whispering those three words in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did not rush forward in grief to die with Li Hao—when despair and sorrow are great enough, only stillness remains, and hatred suppressed beyond description.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would live. She would cultivate in silence, at any cost, willing to sacrifice everything, to gain power—until she killed that man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he was of the imperial clan. Even if he was a pseudo-imperial heir. Even if he might one day become an imperial heir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, she knew: her entire life’s purpose was now vengeance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Xian energy coalesced in the heavens—along Di Jiming’s palm, Xian Dao laws of various origins gathered like chains: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, time, space, and the Nine Sequences—all mastered by this imperial heir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the golden imperial mark on his forehead, an Xian seal emerged—indeed, the Nine-Sequence Immortal Seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet on the Nine-Order Immortal Seal, a thread of golden silk wound around it—this was the Emperor Pattern!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This unique Immortal Seal could only be cultivated by imperial clan prodigies; they called it the Emperor Dao Nine-Order Immortal Seal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was stronger than ordinary Nine-Order Immortal Seals, and this extra thread of golden Emperor Pattern was the symbol and inheritance of the imperial clan’s bloodline, the blessing bestowed by the three Great Emperors of the imperial clan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, countless people were stunned into silence; though they had anticipated it all, it still felt entirely different to witness it with their own eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In every power displayed, the opponent had utterly crushed Li Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his realm was still vastly higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention a palm strike—even a single finger might be unbearable to withstand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2395,"2026-06-20T02:15:44.384Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","59300e372277d9d6bfaa09a822f853fc2676d668cfcfa792268a77f6cb3da577","the-name-that-echoes-through-eternity-chapter-809","the-name-that-echoes-through-eternity-chapter-807",929,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-name-that-echoes-through-eternity-cover.jpg"]
