Chapter 908

Bidding farewell to Long Long Potian, Gu Gu Mofan and the three of Di Di Wushe led Li Hao and Shi Miao and flew rapidly toward the Ancestral Longcheng of the Eastern Territory.

"Senior Brothers, how did you suddenly appear?"

On the way, Li Hao asked. Their descent onto the battlefield was too abrupt, as if they had teleported directly.

But this was a critical border area, and the Heavenly Dao laws here had long been modified; except for specific teleportation arrays, it was impossible to cross and travel directly, unless one was an Emperor Sovereign!

"This is the power of the Fifth Ultimate Realm, Chaos!"

Gu Gu Mofan's expression was slightly solemn as he explained to Li Hao.

"Fifth Ultimate Realm?"

Li Hao's eyes moved. The Fifth Realm was 'Fifteen Li', controlling the Dao for fifteen li, the ultimate realm was Return to Ruins, and the final realm was called Chaos?

"The Chaos Final Realm can travel through realms, can roam across the four territories, coming and going freely, and can also, by one's own ability, travel into the Primordial True World; it can be said that the divine dragon sees its head but not its tail."

Zhan Zhan Qinghuang said to Li Hao: "We broke through the realm and descended here directly from Extreme Dao Mountain. Little Fifth's incarnation told us your location, so finding you was very simple."

Li Hao suddenly understood.

The Return to Ruins Ultimate Realm was already an extremely remarkable ability. Previously, when cultivating in the Sword Ancestor Holy Land, prodigies who mastered the Return to Ruins Ultimate Realm had absolute escape ability when battling other prodigies, and the traces of their teleportation could not be tracked.

Return to Ruins was teleportation, while Chaos was more extreme, capable of traveling through different realms.

"Chaos... then can it be mastered using the Chaos Dao?"

Li Hao's heart moved.

But at this time, there was obviously no opportunity to practice, so he asked: "Is Fifth Senior Brother's incarnation still on Extreme Dao Mountain? Then did he say how the situation is over at Ancestral Longcheng?"

"He intends to fully commit to the battle this time; that incarnation is only a weak projection without any combat power. He told us not to go and rescue him; he swears to live and die together with the Eastern Territory."

Gu Gu Mofan said in a low voice: "But he is Little Fifth; he is unwilling to leave, so we must go and see him. Since we have come, if we don't kill a few Ancient Demon heads and bring them back, it would be a waste of our many years of hard cultivation."

Li Hao nodded slightly, thinking of the previous Mi Mi Xueyao. As an Ancient Demon royal family member, when the three Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters arrived, she was casually killed; he didn't know if she was dead through and through.

In the past, they could be considered to have had a dinner table friendship, but now they were playing a life-and-death game; this was the stance of a great clan.

While the few were talking, their figures chased the stars and the moon, and in the blink of an eye, they crossed a large expanse of star territory and arrived in front of a towering starry sky city.

That city was built on a vast continent, like a spire on the land; looking at it from afar, it was like a high-horned pointed hat.

And a scene that made one's scalp tingle occurred: outside this towering city, there were actually large swaths of black mist coiling, and countless figures, like locusts crossing the border, or like bees surrounding a hive, surrounded the entire city, airtight, three layers inside and three layers outside, with one top-tier Dharma array after another, and rare immortal arts, constantly blooming and exploding like gorgeous fireworks.

In the starry sky, there were actually large swaths of Ancient Demon tides, and one Ancient Demon army formation after another with sturdy figures were charging and killing. The Yan Ghost Formation, formed by tens of thousands of Ancient Demons, was actually like countless soldiers in the starry sky, swarming to attack that city!

Countless Ancient Demons, the number was so large that it could not be calculated in billions, but in trillions.

Just the Yan Ghost Formation, in the shape of a black giant ghost formed by the army formation, acted like a massive amount of charging soldiers, attacking the city!

This scene not only left Li Hao stunned, but even Gu Gu Mofan and Zhan Zhan Qinghuang, who had seen big scenes, also changed color. Di Di Wushe, who had been killing Ancient Demons for ten thousand years on the border of the Imperial Clan, was also stunned at this moment; he felt that the Ancient Demons he had killed and seen in ten thousand years were not as many as what he saw in this one glance!

Exaggerated, terrifying!

And that city that was surrounded, like a hill, actually hadn't been gnawed and shattered. From inside, bursts of dragon roars and hisses were emitted, and from time to time, one could see massive dragon bodies flipping, but they were quickly annihilated.

"This, this..."

Zhan Zhan Qinghuang was shocked on the spot. As a Quasi-Emperor Realm expert, she actually felt a bit of fear from the scene before her.

Just the Yan Ghost Formation, which had combat power comparable to the fifth level of the Immortal King Realm, was countless. Although these could not constitute a threat to Quasi-Emperor Realm experts, there were also terrifying figures fighting inside, and there were more than a dozen of them, all with Quasi-Emperor Realm cultivation!

Among them, in another part of the battlefield, there was a collapsing black hole, as if it were rampaging and bursting, turning into a forbidden zone. That pure darkness made one dare not approach, and from within it, the aura of an Emperor was emitted.

Zing!

While Li Hao was still in shock, a sword aura that went straight through the nine heavens suddenly slashed out from that black hole, instantly sweeping across the battlefield, and it was like a sharp pair of scissors, cutting through a canvas, directly slashing a gap in the chaotic battlefield of locusts.

On the gap, not even the corpses of the Ancient Demons were left; they were all annihilated.

"An Emperor has also joined the battle..."

The expressions of Gu Gu Mofan and the three changed. They hadn't expected the war situation in the Eastern Territory to be so bad; the news had just spread, and actually, an Emperor had already descended to fight.

On such a battlefield, they, as Quasi-Emperor Realm experts, also had to be careful; they had to rely on their own side's Emperor Sovereign to take action and contain the Emperor Sovereign of the Ancient Demon side before they would have space to take action.

Among the few, only Shi Miao's expression was solemn, her eyes carrying a bit of trance. She had seen such a scene one hundred thousand years ago, and had personally been in the middle of it, becoming one of the members fighting on that battlefield. And the great war at that time was far more intense than it was now; that was the first time the Ancient Demons appeared in the True World, and the various Emperors personally came, which could be said to have made the sky dark and the earth dim, with the void shattering.

Looking at this scene that seemed familiar, two words inexplicably surfaced in Shi Miao's heart: destiny, reincarnation!

The destiny battle of one hundred thousand years ago seemed to have really repeated itself.

"Zhan Qinghuang, you send Little Junior Brother and Shi Miao back; I and Di Wushe will go and visit Little Fifth."

After a brief shock, Gu Gu Mofan came back to his senses and immediately said in a low voice.

Zhan Zhan Qinghuang was stunned and immediately said: "Are you going to join the battle? I'm going too!"

Although Master warned them that they only needed to bring Li Hao back, seeing the scene before them, plus the fact that Long Long Qingge was still here, they still wanted to take action and fight.

"Don't mess around, send Little Junior Brother back first; otherwise, once something happens, we can escape, but Little Junior Brother cannot. Don't forget the Master's order!"

Gu Gu Mofan frowned and said.

Zhan Zhan Qinghuang, as a prodigy of the Zhan family, was crazy about fighting in her bones. Their ancestors had fought against the Heavenly Dao and named themselves "Zhan" (War). It was conceivable how crazy the Zhan family members were about fighting. Letting her escape back was something she was one hundred percent unwilling to do in her heart.

"You also know it's a Master's order. First Senior Brother, if you want to go back, you go back; I'm not going."

Zhan Zhan Qinghuang also said with a straight face.

She didn't persuade the Second Senior Brother beside her, because she knew the Imperial Clan was more arrogant and would not shrink back.

"It's best if none of you take action."

While the two were arguing, Shi Miao spoke up.

The three looked at Shi Miao, all frowning slightly.

Although Shi Miao was only at the fourth level of the Immortal King Realm, she did not have the slightest timidity when facing Li Hao's three Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, but said in a condensed voice: "Only one Emperor Sovereign has joined the battle so far. With the cunning of the Ancient Demons, there will definitely not be only one Emperor Sovereign coming to attack. Other Ancient Demon Emperor Sovereigns are likely waiting in the dark, and now may not necessarily be the most intense moment. If you take the field and destroy the balance, I'm afraid that a second Emperor Sovereign will soon take the field!"

Hearing her words, the three were all startled and looked at each other. Looking at the scene before them, their expressions suddenly became somewhat ugly.

Indeed, Shi Miao's words were extremely reasonable; it was impossible for there to be only one Ancient Demon Emperor Sovereign here.

"If I remember correctly, there is a teleportation array in this Ancestral Longcheng connecting to the Ancestral Dragon Court. The reason it can hold on until now is likely because there are soldiers from the Ancestral Dragon Court constantly being teleported over to fight to the death. This battle is only a prologue; only when at least three Ancient Demon Emperor Sovereigns take action will the victory or defeat be truly decided!"

Shi Miao said in a low voice, as if she were an old general who had experienced many battles, calmly commenting.

"You three are all Quasi-Emperor Realm experts and also the proud students of the Dao Source Immortal Emperor. The current plan is to break through to the Emperor Sovereign Realm as soon as possible and perfect your own Emperor paths, rather than taking risks here. If you are injured, even if you don't die, just recuperating will consume a large amount of time. When will you become Emperors? If the Ancient Demons break through the Eastern Territory and begin to sweep across the entire True World, will you face them with your current realms?"

Shi Miao scanned the three and said word by word.

Although her realm was not as good as theirs, at this moment, her words actually seemed like those of an elder, calm and steady, yet slightly strict. Li Hao was stunned watching from the side, feeling Shi Miao's spirit and pattern for the first time, which was completely different from her usual gentle appearance, as if she were a monarch standing on a dangerous building, having a kind of domineering power and cold rationality.

Hearing Shi Miao's words, the expressions of the three Gu Gu Mofan were complex. They knew Shi Miao's identity, but hadn't seen her speak in such an attitude before. Shi Miao's words also made them think of Master's words, which were almost the same meaning as Shi Miao's: perfect the Emperor Dao as soon as possible, and break through to become Emperors before the catastrophe truly descends.

They looked up at the battlefield before them. On that battlefield, there were more than a dozen Quasi-Emperor Realm experts, and hundreds at the perfection of the Immortal King Realm. With such a scale, in a war to occupy a vast Eastern Territory, Quasi-Emperor Realm experts could not decide the victory or defeat. Only Emperor Sovereigns had the ability to influence the war situation, but even that was only influence, not decision.

After all, if there were only one Emperor Sovereign, it would be impossible to occupy the Eastern Territory.

The True World accommodated ten thousand races, and the starry river territory of the Eastern Territory alone was vast to an unimaginable degree; one Emperor Sovereign could not suppress it.

"Emperor path..."

Di Di Wushe clenched his fists. His Emperor path had been blocked for twenty thousand years, and he hadn't stepped over the final threshold. He said he wanted to break through to become an Emperor, but how easy was it to talk about?

Since ancient times, countless prodigies had been stuck at that final natural chasm, and could only be depressed and humiliated under the Emperor Sovereigns, unable to be truly free.

Gu Gu Mofan had already calmed down by this time. He took a deep breath, looked at Shi Miao, and said: "Shi Miao is right. Di Wushe, Zhan Qinghuang, you take Little Junior Brother back first. I will go to Ancestral Longcheng to see Fifth Junior Brother, and by the way, express our determination to reinforce from Extreme Dao Mountain. I will not join the battle, don't worry."

"I..."

Di Di Wushe still wanted to speak, but was stopped by Gu Gu Mofan raising his hand.

As a member of the Imperial Clan, he was unwilling to come to this battlefield only to sneak away.

"Junior Brother!"

Gu Gu Mofan said "Junior Brother" heavily, interrupting his words, his eyes fixed on him.

Seeing Gu Gu Mofan's gaze, Di Di Wushe opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something else, but finally swallowed it back. He said in a low voice: "Then you be careful, we will go back first."

Seeing that he had compromised, Zhan Zhan Qinghuang could only sigh and didn't say anything else.

Gu Gu Mofan waved his hand, opening a Chaos channel for the few, leading directly to the Primordial True World. After the few entered one after another, he turned and rushed toward Ancestral Longcheng.

Not long after Li Hao and the others left, on the other side of the black hole on the battlefield, a sword sound resounded across the starry sky. Accompanied by Su Su Jiuzhe's loud laughter, a vast ocean of demonic blood suddenly splashed out from that black hole. That demonic blood splashed onto the battlefield, and some army formations that were touched by it carelessly were corroded and melted and annihilated on the spot.

Just the blood of an Emperor Sovereign was something that some Immortal King Realm experts could hardly bear.

Primordial True World, Extreme Dao Mountain.

Several figures returned and arrived at the top of Extreme Dao Mountain; they were Di Di Wushe, Li Hao, and the others who had rushed back.

Just after returning to the mountain, the two brought Li Hao back to the main hall to report to their Master.

Dao Source Immortal Emperor did not see Gu Gu Mofan and asked for the reason. Zhan Zhan Qinghuang quickly told the story, including Shi Miao's persuasion.

After listening, Dao Source Immortal Emperor looked at Shi Miao, his eyes revealing a bit of approval, and said: "As expected of the proud student of Lord Tianyang, one of the Seven Monarchs of the past. It seems that battle left a deep impression on you."

Shi Miao did not speak, but her expression was blank. That catastrophe left more than a deep impression; it was engraved into her bones!

"Shi Miao is right. You three were almost impulsive and ruined things. This is the gap in your Dao hearts; you only have a pseudo-Emperor heart, and not a true Emperor Sovereign heart!"

Dao Source Immortal Emperor's gaze turned, his eyes becoming rarely strict, and he said: "Feeling aggrieved, resentful, unbearable... what benefits can these useless emotions bring you? If you really feel ashamed, then you should cultivate well to the peak. The slaughter, tragic deaths, and countless sacrifices you saw today are not even one percent of what they were back then!"

"The True World of one hundred thousand years ago was so prosperous, yet it was nearly annihilated by the Ancient Demons, let alone today."

Hearing Master's reprimand, the expressions of Di Di Wushe and Zhan Zhan Qinghuang changed slightly, and they both realized the severity of the situation outside; Master had extremely high expectations for them to become Emperors.

A true Emperor Sovereign heart... Di Di Wushe clenched his fists slightly. As a member of the Imperial Clan, Master actually said he did not have a true Emperor Sovereign Dao heart.

But he knew that Master was not wrong in saying so. He had the most noble Imperial Clan blood flowing in his body, yet he had not cultivated a true Emperor Sovereign Dao heart; he felt a bit ashamed for himself.

"Master, can the Eastern Territory really hold on? If the Ancient Demons all unite and the catastrophe of the past descends again, even if we fight with all our might to cultivate, perfecting the Emperor path is not certain. What if we don't become Emperors even after another ten thousand years? By then, the Eastern Territory..."

Zhan Zhan Qinghuang couldn't help but say.

On the road to becoming an Emperor, there was no time to judge; perhaps one would suddenly have an epiphany tomorrow, or perhaps one would cultivate hard for another ten thousand years with only a tiny harvest.

As top-tier prodigies, they had all cultivated with lightning speed in the past, with no bottlenecks, but in front of the Emperor Sovereign Realm, they had been trapped for twenty thousand years, which could be said to be like a day feeling like a year.

"It's useless for you to worry. When the moment comes for you to take the field, the moment of life and death, don't say you are Quasi-Emperor Realm experts; even if you were weak children, you would still have to take the field! But now is not the time. You only need to consider how to continue to improve, and how to exert your role to a greater extent in the upcoming battles!"

"As for the rest, it's useless to think about it."

Dao Source Immortal Emperor snorted coldly.

Zhan Zhan Qinghuang and Di Di Wushe were stunned and both fell silent.

Li Hao also fell into silence, recalling the scene at Ancestral Longcheng in the Eastern Territory. In the short moment they were talking, countless people had probably died there.

How long could such consumption last?

And although he was an Immortal King, he could sit in command of one side at ordinary times, but in this kind of life-and-death war of a great territory, he was just a slightly larger stone, unable to stir up too many ripples.

"Hao Tian."

Dao Source Immortal Emperor spoke, his voice pulling Li Hao's thoughts back into the hall.

"Master."

Li Hao looked up.

"You also have great hope of becoming an Emperor; do not be slack."

Dao Source Immortal Emperor said to Li Hao: "Calling you back this time, although it happened suddenly, this kind of matter is not something the ten thousand races of the True World haven't considered."

"Hmm?"

Hearing Master's words, Li Hao was a bit puzzled, and Di Di Wushe and Zhan Zhan Qinghuang beside him also looked up one after another at Master.

"Since the catastrophe of one hundred thousand years ago occurred and the True World nearly perished, how could the ten thousand races of the True World not have considered the situation of the Ancient Demon race rolling back?"

Dao Source Immortal Emperor's expression was cold, carrying a bit of severity, and he said: "Now that the war in the Eastern Territory has broken out, many great clans and Emperors have already tacitly agreed not long ago to enter the war-readiness state of the ten thousand races. At the same time, another war-readiness plan has been launched: True King!"

"True King?"

Li Hao and the others were all puzzled.
