Chapter 816: Northern Region, Su Clan
"You knew long ago that that child was the Great Emperor's successor, letting him be your son-in-law just to let the Supreme lower their guard, to preserve the overall situation, for future rehabilitation. But this action was too tragic."
Empress Chijiang sighed lightly, saying in a low voice: "Who could have thought that that child would be so stunning? Earlier, I also thought he was just an ordinary successor left behind by the Great Emperor in his final days, but..."
The others heard this and were all silent.
That's right... earlier they had all misjudged. Who could have thought that the youth would be so stunning and peerless in the end.
Invincible in the True Immortal Realm, fighting the Southern Region alone, even the Supreme's direct disciple was defeated in his hands.
One must know that the Great Emperor had long since fallen. Although the inheritance left behind was good, how could it compare to the Supreme's personal teaching?
Just like this, the child still shocked the Southern Region with a hundred years of soul longevity, suppressing the Supreme's direct disciple.
"The reincarnation body of Emperor Shi Miao also appeared and was destroyed. Fortunately, Emperor Shi Miao seems to have comprehended extraordinary time power, actually being able to be immortal in the long river of time, not truly falling."
"This shows that Emperor Shi Miao's soul heart is not withered. As long as it is not personally executed and suppressed by a Great Emperor, we can still see her."
"Wait until that youth and Emperor Shi Miao's reincarnation body grow up again; at that time, it will be the moment for us to blow the horn of counterattack, to rehabilitate the Great Emperor!"
Several people looked at each other, the bottom of their eyes all flickering with solemnity and depth.
The Seven Ancient Emperors were all figures who had continued from ten thousand years ago; how could they not know the truth of the shocking change back then?
It was just that the ancient dynasties left behind back then were not only these seven, and the others had long since annihilated in the resistance.
Without an Immortal Emperor sitting in charge, the rest were all ants in front of an Emperor Monarch; resistance would only lead to turning into ashes.
"This move of mine was wrong. Perhaps if I had hidden that child, after another ten thousand years, I would have seen him emerge."
Emperor Chu, who had been silent for a long time, said in a low voice at this moment.
Hearing his words, Empress Empress Yuan Zun looked at him, seeing the trace of pain in the eyes of this burly man, understanding his mood, she shook her head lightly, saying:
"That youth's traces had long been exposed. The Supreme used him to lure the snake out of the hole. Your move can also be considered complying with fate. If you had really hidden him, I'm afraid Yan-Chu would have disappeared from the Southern Region very soon."
"That's right, by then those people would also have been ferreted out, and there would be no place for them to hide in the Southern Region."
Emperor Emperor Tianzhao nodded.
"It's just unknown where that youth is now, heading to what place. The Dao Source Immortal Emperor personally paved the way for him, helping him cover his aura and Great Dao fate, unable to be peered into. Everything related to that youth has been cut off; even the Supreme cannot peer into it."
"No matter where he is, I believe that within ten thousand years, we will inevitably hear that youth's name again."
"I hope the day we look forward to will eventually come!"
Several people looked at each other, their eyes full of vicissitudes. Witnessing the two successors nearly fall before their eyes this time was a huge blow to them, but in the clouds, they all maintained calmness and didn't reveal a trace of abnormality in front of that Supreme.
After a brief stay, the seven people separated and disappeared into the starry sky, leaving no traces behind.
The starry sky was mottled, infinite radiance flickering.
In the deep starry sky, that Emperor Path ran through the entire Southern Region like a rainbow.
When Li Hao stepped into the vortex, a vicissitudinous voice sounded in his ear, saying:
"Youth, the Great Emperor has completely cut off your fate and aura. This old servant will cover your new body; unless it is a Great Emperor, it cannot be peered into. From now on, just cultivate well."
Li Hao opened his eyes. The vortex was deep, and the Great Dao power of time and space swam around him like flying fish, driving his body to a place extremely far away.
As time shifted around him, he seemed to be traveling through different timelines, jumping back and forth repeatedly.
Li Hao knew that this was the path chosen for him by that Dao Source Immortal Emperor, perhaps to avoid the Supreme's peering.
"Who are you?"
Li Hao questioned in his heart.
"This old servant is the Mysterious Turtle Source Shell bestowed upon you by the Great Emperor, and also a trace of Emperor Soul left behind by the Chaos Mysterious Turtle." The old voice said softly.
Emperor Soul... Li Hao's eyes narrowed slightly. Being able to be called an Emperor Soul, the Chaos Mysterious Turtle must have also been an Emperor Realm existence during its lifetime.
He whispered in his heart: "Thank you, Senior, for your protection. I don't know where I am going?"
"Northern Region."
The Mysterious Turtle Emperor Soul said softly: "I cannot peer into your fate; there is a power blocking it, but the Great Emperor perhaps can. It should be that the Great Emperor calculated your fate trajectory and sent you here, and also handed me a scroll of things to give to you after going out."
"Things?"
Li Hao was puzzled in his heart, but didn't ask further.
The vortex around him continued to extend, carrying his body as it traveled incessantly for a long time, roughly the duration of three sticks of incense.
The vortex disappeared, and Li Hao was spat out from the long river of time by the True World space, arriving at a boundless, dazzling starry sky.
All around him were dazzling stars floating, and in front there was an even larger star, surrounded by golden star sand—that was countless shattered meteorites, circling the star like a galaxy.
What was surprising was that outside that star, there was actually a giant beast the size of a fist, crawling in the starry sky.
From Li Hao's distance to that star, the giant beast looked the size of a fist, but if observed from a close distance, it was afraid it would be a million miles large.
Li Hao's heart shook. In the human world, a ten-thousand-foot body was already extraordinary, possessing the combat power of the Wen Dao Realm. In the Saint Realm of the demons in the Land of Myriad Heavens, there were only tens of thousands of feet of body.
And compared to the giant beast in front of him, it was afraid it wouldn't even reach a single strand of its hair!
At this moment, the giant beast also seemed to see Li Hao, a vast aura shrouding and locking onto Li Hao, but it only paused slightly, then passed by like a light breeze, not paying attention anymore.
Li Hao felt a chill all over his body. That giant beast was absolutely an existence in the Immortal King Realm, or even a powerhouse in the Immortal King Realm.
"Just a Star Source Beast, you don't need to be afraid. In the Northern Region, it is just a Star Guardian guarding the star. The one in front should be a General Wang Xing."
The Mysterious Turtle Emperor Soul said, and then a water-like barrier twisted the domain around Li Hao, shrouding Li Hao's figure.
Following that, a golden radiance slowly surfaced, gradually unfolding in front of Li Hao.
This was an ancient scroll, with dragon-flying and phoenix-dancing ancient characters on it. Li Hao didn't recognize them, but in the bottom right corner, there was a flying dragon and phoenix floating shadow, like a seal, constantly circling and chirping, emitting a joyful and auspicious sound, making one's heart feel pleasant.
"The Great Emperor said, you hold this scroll and head to the Northern Region Su Clan, and you will get what you want."
The Mysterious Turtle Emperor Soul said.
Li Hao's heart shook. That Dao Source Immortal Emperor actually knew he was going to the Northern Region Su Clan.
Could it be that the other party knew about Shi Miao's reincarnation body?
The other party could calculate fate, perhaps it was calculating his, or calculating Shi Miao's fate, and thus knew.
Li Hao knew very little about the Immortal Emperor's methods, only reverence remaining in his heart. Perhaps, in the entire True World, except for the Immortal Emperor themselves, even a Half-Step Emperor Monarch wouldn't dare to say they knew all the Immortal Emperor's methods. After all, the difference in realm was too large, and many of the Immortal Emperor's powers were difficult to fathom.
"Thank you, Dao Source Immortal Emperor."
Li Hao said softly again, putting away the ancient scroll in his hand.
"Do you know anything about the Northern Region?"
The Mysterious Turtle Emperor Soul asked.
Li Hao shook his head, thinking in his heart: "I don't know."
"The True World has four regions. The Southern Region is dominated by the Heavenly Palace with ten thousand dynasties, where the human race is the main territory. The True World's hundred clans are mixed and rooted, and demons and foreign clans are all slaves, mounts, beasts, and pets there. But the Northern Region is different. The Northern Region is the demons' territory. The great clans here are all demon great clans, and the leading strong clan forces are all demons!"
"Demons?"
Li Hao's face changed slightly. In the human world, demons and the human race were opposed to each other; demons ate humans, and humans slaughtered demons.
"That's right. Here, the human race is reduced to fodder for demons, holding the same status as demons in the Southern Territory—left to be slaughtered at will. Once there is fierce resistance, it will be met with thunderous suppression!"
The Mysterious Turtle Emperor Soul said: "But there are exceptions. There are also human great clans here. In this chaotic place of demons, they have carved out their own territory. The Su Clan you are heading to this time is one of the few powerful ancient human clans in the Northern Region, and they also have a relatively high status among the demons."
Li Hao was slightly stunned, understanding. He asked: "Can I teleport to the Su Clan from the star in front?"
"Yes."
The Mysterious Turtle Emperor Soul responded.
Hearing this, Li Hao felt a bit impatient in his heart, flying toward it quickly.
As his figure whistled, crossing the starry sky, he immediately felt that the closer he got to this star, the heavier the demon aura became, rushing toward his face like countless wisps of black flow.
And the aura emanating from the Star Source Beast entrenched on the edge of the star also became more and more oppressive.
"Although your appearance is similar to the past, your aura is completely different. In the True World, there are countless humans. It is not strange that there are millions or even hundreds of millions of people with similar faces and names. As long as you don't expose your Dao Source Immortal Seal, no one will associate it with you."
The Mysterious Turtle Emperor Soul said to Li Hao.
Li Hao nodded. He had already used his Primordial Spirit to peer into his current appearance. It was slightly different from before, but only the traces of his eyebrows had changed, which was not obvious. It looked the same as before, but more like the him in the human world, with less sharpness and more calmness, and many auras were restrained.
As he approached, Li Hao discovered that other voices were also whistling from other places on the star. They were actually immortal gods carrying treasures, arriving at this star.
Some treasures were flying boats, with women singing and dancing on them, and suave youths sitting on rocking chairs waving fans to watch.
These magical treasures emitted divine light, like streaks of neon cutting through the vast sky, traveling into the star-filled astral energy and vanishing from sight.
Li Hao saw this and didn't stop, heading into the star.
Behind the astral energy were damp clouds, layered one upon another; only after traveling through the endless clouds did he see a magnificent continent.
On the ground were palaces everywhere, looking like golden towers and jade pavilions, while the true forms of demons traveled through the void—there were massive centipedes a thousand feet long, dragon clans ten thousand feet long, as well as colorful phoenixes, flying rabbits, giant deer, and so on.
But these figures turned into human forms after entering some palaces, turning into handsome men and beautiful women, only some patterns on their faces, or scales on their nails, backs of hands, etc., could reveal a trace of their origin.
Others changed more thoroughly, no different from the human race, with no abnormalities revealed.
"If Senior hadn't said so, I would have thought this was a human city."
Li Hao scanned, thinking in his heart.
Walking in the city, they were all in human form, with no traces of demons, only some demons in the high sky would manifest their true bodies.
"Changing into human form is because the True World's most ancient Chaos Dao Ancestor was a human, and all clans respect them!"
The Mysterious Turtle Emperor Soul said slowly: "Secondly, it is because changing into human form can cover one's true body, avoiding being peered into by other clans at a glance. For example, if you are a rat demon, if you reveal your true body, and encounter a snake demon, it is very easy to be targeted!"
"Being in human form, on the contrary, can coexist peacefully."
Li Hao heard this and suddenly realized. They all changed into human form; he had thought it was because they felt the human skin was good-looking. It seemed he had overthought it.
Also, only the human race could accept their own clan's aesthetics. In the eyes of other demons, the human skin was probably also extremely ugly.
"This is the General Wang Xing, considered the star with the highest status in the Northern Region besides the Emperor Star."
The Mysterious Turtle Emperor Soul explained tirelessly to Li Hao, saying: "The Heavenly Dao Emperor Star is the highest star, where great clans sit in town, such as the Su Clan you want to go to, which is on a Heavenly Dao Emperor Star."
"The clan forces on this General Wang Xing have a maximum of Immortal King Realm perfection, which is also an existence that cannot be easily provoked."
Li Hao nodded silently, Ying Ying Xiaoxiao's face surfacing in his heart. Her reincarnation body was in the Su Clan. Didn't expect that Su Clan to be such a great clan. It seemed they inevitably had extraordinary bloodlines, which might also be the reason why the other party chose to become a reincarnation body.
He didn't stay here long. Arriving in the city, the various demons who had changed into human form, smelling the human scent on Li Hao, looked at Li Hao frequently.
Waiting until they sensed Li Hao's Immortal Monarch Realm aura, many gazes converged slightly, but deep in their eyes, they still hid a few traces of bloodthirst and desire.
Li Hao didn't expect these demons to be so bold, daring to discuss these things to his face, completely not putting him in their eyes.
Humans who had lived here for a long time must be able to understand these demon languages. They were so unscrupulous, which seemed to indicate that the human race's status here was extremely low.
"I have a Northern Region demon language here, which I can teach you."
The Mysterious Turtle Emperor Soul saw Li Hao's embarrassment and said via sound transmission.
Following that, Li Hao felt a vast message surfacing in his mind, which was the languages of various demon clans.
He stood in the middle of the street, suddenly stopping, frowning and closing his eyes to absorb this message.
A moment later, this demon language was completely absorbed by him. The various whispers coming from the street turned into human language, all understandable.
"Look, what is that human fool doing?"
"Keep your voice down, that guy's aura is not simple, he should be an Immortal Monarch."
"Just an Immortal Monarch. If it were in the wild, it would definitely be eaten. Look at that tender skin and flesh, the taste must be extremely good."
Hearing these words, Li Hao couldn't help but look over, seeing two men and one woman sizing him up. The woman among them covered her mouth and giggled, her eyes shifting with great allure, yet the words she spoke were filled with nothing but greed for devouring Li Hao.
Li Hao heard these words and couldn't help but look over, seeing two men and one woman looking at him. The woman among them covered her mouth and giggled, her eyes flowing with charm, but what she said was full of greed for gnawing on Li Hao.
Li Hao didn't expect these demons to be so bold, daring to discuss these things to his face, completely not putting him in their eyes.
Humans who had lived here for a long time must be able to understand these demon languages. They were so unscrupulous, which seemed to indicate that the human race's status here was extremely low.
"Look, that human is looking at us, he should be able to understand our words."
"So what if he understands? Does he dare to find trouble with us?"
The group whispered, smiled at Li Hao, and revealed a set of snow-white teeth, then, seemingly finding it boring that they could only look but not eat, they swayed and turned to leave.
Several people whispered, smiling at Li Hao, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth, then seemingly feeling bored because they could look but not eat, and turned away shaking.
Li Hao's gaze swept toward the shops on both sides of the road, but discovered that in some shops, there were actually human skeletons displayed, among which a leg bone emanated golden light, with divine luster flowing, obviously having been an extremely strong immortal god in the past.
Besides this, there were also shops imprisoning human men and women, their eyes full of horror, placed at the door for sale at a clear price.
A great human clan capable of standing tall here must be extremely extraordinary.
Human great clans that could stand here were inevitably extremely extraordinary.
However, in such an environment, even with powerhouses sitting in town, they would inevitably be obstructed everywhere.
Li Hao didn't stay long. Listening to the demons' discussion by the roadside, he knew the location of the teleportation array and rushed over.
As for the many humans he saw imprisoned along the way, although he had the heart to help, he also knew that he was a newcomer, and meddling in other people's business would only lead to a dead end.
Moreover, before he came, these things had already been happening for countless years.
If he really wanted to solve it, perhaps it would only be when he was strong enough, when his words would be even stronger than the power of his sword now.
Not long after, Li Hao found the teleportation array.
Earlier on the Heavenly Dao Bridge, he had exchanged some immortal stones with the various Immortal Dynasty Imperial Clans, so he was not short of them.
At this moment, he paid ten thousand immortal stones, and according to the Mysterious Turtle Emperor Soul's guidance, teleported to the Northern Region Emperor Star, Gusu Emperor Star, where the Su Clan was located.
According to the teleportation, Gusu Emperor Star required ten thousand immortal stones for humans, while demons required thirty thousand, three times the price. In addition, demons also needed to verify their assets, and those who had not eaten humans for ten thousand years could enter.
At the teleportation array of Gusu Emperor Star, there was an immortal treasure specifically for testing human essence and blood. If demons ate humans, they would leave behind human essence and blood and residual souls, which this immortal treasure could reflect.
When Li Hao teleported here, he immediately saw that in front of him was a magnificent street and a vast and majestic city. In the sky, a mirror engraved with hexagrams aimed at the teleportation array, reflecting figures one after another, including Li Hao. ===== CHAPTER 817 =====
