Chapter 910: The Myriad Heavens Tower
With the appearance of Emperor Daoyuan, many figures immediately cast their gazes over. Feeling that vast and supreme aura, they were all horrified and discussed it in whispers.
"Is, is that an Immortal Emperor?"
"My, these True King Preliminaries have two Immortal Emperors sitting in guard to guide us. I didn't expect to see an Immortal Emperor as soon as I arrived!"
"As expected of gathering the current top Heaven's Pride experts and combat strength of the True Realm. I have never seen an Immortal Emperor before, and here I have seen one all of a sudden."
Many people discussed and exclaimed in low voices, their eyes filled with excitement and agitation.
"Is that his disciple beside the Immortal Emperor? I heard that in these True King Preliminaries, even the personal disciples of an Immortal Emperor are useless; everyone has to fight their way up step by step based on strength."
"That's right, no qualification is useless; only combat strength matters!"
"This is a good thing; this is fairness."
"Those top-tier Immortal King Realm experts who have cultivated for seventy or eighty thousand years are the strongest existences in this selection."
While many people were discussing, Li Hao, Shi Miao, and the others were also observing their surroundings, all somewhat surprised to see these dense figures.
One must know that their Daoyuan lineage had only selected twenty-plus people, while there were at least several thousand present!
"So many people!"
"What is that mountain?"
"That is not a mountain; that is a tower!"
The gazes of Li Hao and the others were all attracted by the black shadow in the abyss ahead that was as majestic as a mountain. At this moment, the numerous figures floating around were gathered like mayflies around this giant tower that reached the sky.
"This is an Immortal Forbidden Imperial Artifact, the Myriad Heavens Tower!"
Emperor Daoyuan said slowly: "This is the Imperial Weapon of the Star Imperial Sovereign. You have not heard the name of the Star Imperial Sovereign, but you must know the Second Final Realm, the Myriad Heavens Star Pulse. That's right, that was opened up by the Star Imperial Sovereign!"
Li Hao was stunned. The Myriad Heavens Star Pulse—he was too familiar with it. This Final Realm was actually opened up by the Star Imperial Sovereign?
And at this moment, he was actually seeing the Imperial Weapon held by the other party!
This felt like a legend descending before his eyes—shocking and exciting.
"The Star Imperial Sovereign is also one of the two Imperial Sovereigns sitting in guard this time. This Myriad Heavens Tower is your trial ground for what follows!"
Emperor Daoyuan slowly raised his head, his gaze seeming to see the peak of this majestic giant tower that reached the sky, and said: "The Myriad Heavens Tower contains the secret methods of the myriad Daos of the True Realm and collects the tactics of the myriad clans of the heavens. There are a total of three hundred levels inside! The first one hundred levels are for suppressing the Immortal King Realm, and the middle one hundred levels are for suppressing the Quasi-Emperor Realm!"
"The final one hundred levels are specifically used for clashing with Great Emperors."
"In the past, this was also specifically used to imprison some heinous Immortal King Realm criminals. Now, those criminals have long been thrown into various Ancient Demon battlefields to atone for their crimes through service, so this tower naturally became empty."
Emperor Daoyuan's gaze turned to Li Hao and Shi Miao, saying: "To compete for True King, you must break into the inner ninety levels, or even pass the one hundredth level!"
"Only then is it possible to seize a True King seat!"
These words of his were mainly said to Shi Miao.
After all, Shi Miao was now at the fourth level of the Immortal King Realm, and compared to Li Hao, she had some hope of competing for a True King seat.
As for Li Hao, he had just stepped into the Immortal King Realm. Although his talent was peerless, the time left for him was too short.
"Ten thousand years have passed, and the light of this tower is dim, which made me not recognize it for a moment."
Shi Miao raised her head and looked at the tower before her, her eyes filled with nostalgia.
Emperor Daoyuan shook his head slightly: "It is not dim, but stained with too much demon blood and has not been cleaned."
Shi Miao was slightly startled, then focused her eyes, her gaze suddenly becoming even more solemn and grave.
One hundred thousand years ago, the Star Imperial Sovereign also took action in that great catastrophe battle. She vaguely remembered that in that battlefield, this Star Tower smashed the Ancient Demon tide until flesh and blood flew everywhere, suppressing and killing countless Ancient Demons.
And the originally brilliant tower body, like star glaze, was now pitch black, all from the blood stained one hundred thousand years ago, without fading.
"So, does every ten levels correspond to one level of the Immortal King Realm?"
Li Hao said.
Emperor Daoyuan nodded slightly: "But it corresponds to the realm at the limit. In other words, even if the Ancient Demons, who are generally stronger than the myriad clans of the True Realm, came here, they would survive extremely arduously in the corresponding levels! And ordinary human Heaven's Pride experts coming here would find it difficult to even enter the corresponding levels."
"This Imperial Artifact is extremely harsh."
Hearing this, the other three Immortal Lord Realm perfection experts all clicked their tongues secretly.
The other ninth-level Immortal King Realm and two perfection-level Immortal King Realm disciples also had solemn expressions.
"When the trial begins, you might as well try it. If you can enter the ninetieth level directly, it is already extremely difficult for you."
Emperor Daoyuan said to them.
Hearing him say this, the disciples' expressions became even tighter. They were all top-tier Immortal Kings who cultivated on the Extreme Dao Mountain, the best among their peers. Would it be so difficult even before this Myriad Heavens Tower?
While they were talking, waves of fluctuations suddenly surged in the void.
Li Hao and Shi Miao looked back and saw a mighty group of figures rushing over on the road they had come from.
The leading figure had a majestic body, a disdainful gaze, and a face difficult to distinguish as male or female, with a cold and beautiful appearance. It was none other than Emperor Chaos.
Seeing Emperor Daoyuan, Emperor Chaos nodded slightly to him, then his gaze swept over and landed on Li Hao and Shi Miao. His eyes lifted slightly, and he said with a half-smile:
"Daoyuan, for this top-tier trial opportunity, you actually brought two other people's personal disciples. A bit heartbreaking, isn't it?"
Emperor Daoyuan said indifferently: "Haotian is also my disciple."
Emperor Chaos laughed lightly and said: "The seedling is indeed good, but only you don't care."
Li Hao and Shi Miao both frowned slightly, feeling somewhat displeased in their hearts. At this time, Emperor Daoyuan's voice went directly into Li Hao's mind:
"Don't mind him; he is purely jealous that I received you."
Li Hao was startled and turned to look at his Master, a complex feeling of soreness suddenly rising in his heart.
How could he not know how arrogant an Immortal Emperor was? How could he receive someone else's personal disciple? Emperor Chaos was not wrong.
It was just that his Master did not care about this at all, but instead came to comfort him.
"You brought quite a few disciples, but there seem to be only two who have a chance to compete for True King."
Emperor Daoyuan swept his gaze over the many figures behind him and smiled faintly.
There were hundreds of figures behind Emperor Chaos. Among them, Li Hao saw many familiar faces, such as Luo Ningshuang, Su Wanyi, and others, but there were no other Su family members. It seemed they were all like Senior Sister Di Lingshu, still cultivating on the Chaos Stars.
Among them, two figures were particularly eye-catching, their gazes restrained yet overflowing with brilliance, their bodies upright. Standing there, their whole bodies seemed to turn into the center of heaven and earth, their momentum extremely terrifying.
Perfection of the Immortal King Realm!
Li Hao stared, and the other two perfection-level Immortal King Realm disciples beside him also had their expressions change, feeling the pressure.
"Hmm? He really came, and he's still alive."
Su Wanyi and Luo Ningshuang saw Li Hao, and a strange look flashed in their eyes. Previously, they had gone to the Eastern Domain and were on the Longmen City defense line, but they were suddenly attacked by Ancient Demons, and the defense line collapsed. Because their identities were special, they received key protection and escaped back to the Ancestral Longcheng.
Later, they were picked up by disciples sent by their Master and returned safely to the Chaos Sea.
This was the benefit of being a personal disciple of an Imperial Sovereign. If it were other disciples, in such a chaotic battle, those with slightly poorer backgrounds, or even those with extremely strong backgrounds but slightly worse luck, would have long since perished.
"Having two is already good. To get two kings out of ten, I am very satisfied."
Emperor Chaos laughed.
The two perfection-level Immortal King Realm experts under his command swept their gazes indifferently toward Li Hao and the others, their eyes lingering on Li Hao for a moment before skipping over and scanning elsewhere.
They had also heard of Li Hao's fame in the Primordial True Realm, but unfortunately, this Ancient Demon war only cared about combat strength; all past honors were meaningless. After all, no matter how monstrous or potential-filled one is, can one be used as a bargaining chip with the Ancient Demons? No. With the arrival of Emperor Chaos, exclamations came again from all around. The successive arrival of two Immortal Emperors made many people feel inspired and excited.
"You all stay here. When the Star Imperial Sovereign and another Immortal Imperial Sovereign arrive, they will inform you of the detailed rules."
Emperor Daoyuan said to Li Hao and the others.
Li Hao and the others nodded. After waiting for Emperor Daoyuan's figure to dissipate like a sand shadow, they all bowed together to send off their Master.
Seeing this, Emperor Chaos did not stay long either. After giving instructions to his disciples, he also left this place.
With the departure of the two Immortal Emperors, the others also relaxed. Many people looked frequently toward the disciples of Emperor Chaos, discussing the differences between the Chaos and Daoyuan lineages.
"Is that Emperor Chaos over there? Why are there so many disciples under his sect?"
"I heard that Emperor Chaos is more powerful in the Primordial True Realm, so he has more disciples."
"Why did I hear that Emperor Daoyuan is stricter in accepting disciples, so he has fewer disciples?"
"So that means Emperor Daoyuan's disciples are stronger?"
"Hard to say; we'll know after this challenge."
While these people were discussing, the two perfection-level Immortal King Realm personal disciples of the Chaos lineage, after sweeping a glance at Li Hao and the others, led the crowd of disciples and flew toward another place.
Li Hao looked in that direction and found a group of aloof figures standing at the end, all wearing silver robes, possessing a temperament that was detached from the world.
"Imperial Clan?"
Li Hao did not expect that the Imperial Clan had also come. Looking at the number over there, there were also hundreds of figures.
"You have also been to the Eastern Domain, right?"
While Li Hao was observing, a voice came from beside him. Su Wanyi and Luo Ningshuang left the crowd of disciples and came over together.
They were personal disciples of Emperor Chaos, and their status was equal to that of the two perfection-level Immortal King Realm disciples, so they were not restrained.
"You have also been there?"
Li Hao was surprised.
"Yes, we were at the Jianlong Pass."
Luo Ningshuang nodded. She had heard that Li Hao was on the rear defense line, a safer place, and felt quite disappointed in her heart about this.
After all, since he dared to go to the Eastern Domain for trials but did not dare to go to the very front line, he was somewhat cowardly.
"Jianlong Pass... Have you seen my Fifth Senior Brother?"
Li Hao could not help but ask.
Su Wanyi shook her head: "There are countless Heaven's Pride experts and numerous Immortal Kings there. The place we were assigned to didn't have much opportunity to interact with him, but I saw him when we were fleeing..."
Li Hao was startled, and he couldn't help but imagine the tragic scene in his mind, sighing secretly.
"Don't think about the Eastern Domain anymore. Since you've come here, cultivate well. Although there is no chance for us to compete for True King given the time, if you can climb to the ninetieth level and rival the top combat strength of the tenth level of the Immortal King Realm, at least you can compete for a True King's deputy. This is the position of a future Immortal King Deputy Commander of the True Realm. Setting aside the Emperor Realm, it can be said to be one person below and ten thousand above!"
Luo Ningshuang said, her eyes filled with fighting spirit.
Li Hao did not speak, but thought of familiar faces like Old Feng. For the first time in many years of a relaxed and easy life, he had a strong urge to cultivate!
"War Clan, Ghost Clan, Ancient God Clan..."
"These strong clans have all come."
Su Wanyi's gaze swept over, and she whispered in a deep voice.
Only at the place closest to the Myriad Heavens Tower, groups of figures had each divided a void area. Their auras were unique, their gazes disdainful, and they were all among the top ten strong clans of the True Realm, each with hundreds of people.
"The competition for the Ten Kings this time seems to be quite intense."
Luo Ningshuang narrowed her eyes. Just the top ten strong clans had ten spots, and they all had perfection-level Immortal King Realm powerhouses here, and the number was not small.
"However, Senior Brother Bielie and the others will definitely be able to do it."
Su Wanyi said, having great confidence in those two Senior Brothers.
Luo Ningshuang nodded and whispered: "The ones who should have a headache are those strong clans, wondering how to compete for the remaining spots."
While they were talking, people came to this abyss one after another.
Deep within this abyss, there was actually another starry sky, like a world within a cave.
And in this starry sky, at this moment, a large number of figures were gathered, densely packed and scattered throughout the starry sky. Each figure stood straight. Besides humans, there were other races with strange and bizarre body structures. Among them, Li Hao even saw figures of the Ancestral Dragon race.
To improve combat strength as quickly as possible before the catastrophe arrives, the fastest way is to open up an Imperial Path!
Therefore, he needed to condense more top-tier Realm Hearts.
He needed to raise all seven arts to the thirteenth-stage state of mind!
At the same time, he also needed to contemplate an Imperial Path that would allow the seven top-tier Realm Hearts to overlap without merging!
The time left for him was too little, too little; he had to cherish every minute and every second.
Along with his closed-eye contemplation, Su Wanyi, who had just wanted to talk to Li Hao again, opened her mouth, but was blocked by the barrier Shi Miao had raised with a wave of her hand.
"You two, please return. The catastrophe is coming, and you should also seize the time to cultivate well."
Shi Miao said calmly.
Luo Ningshuang's eyebrows lifted slightly upon hearing this, but feeling Shi Miao's fourth-level Immortal King Realm cultivation, she frowned, but still said nothing more, pulling Su Wanyi back to the crowd of disciples of the Chaos lineage.
Time passed.
The great clans that came here had also met each other and were familiar with one another. Although they were now in a competitive relationship, some of the Heaven's Pride experts in these great clans had turned from opponents into friends. At this moment, arriving here, they all met and encouraged each other.
In the blink of an eye, a few days later.
Along with a sudden tremor in the void, Li Hao was awakened from his contemplation.
He looked up and saw that the figures here were actually one-third more than before.
And on the majestic Myriad Heavens Tower ahead, two figures slowly descended, emitting the might of Imperial Sovereigns.
This was true Imperial might. The mere pressure made countless people involuntarily close their mouths, their breathing almost stifled.
"So strong!"
Many Heaven's Pride experts had few opportunities to see Immortal Emperors, and at this moment, they all felt an urge to kneel and worship.
These two Imperial Sovereigns—one wore a long dress, the hem of which seemed to reflect countless star sands, with a temporal flow in the hem, her eyes aloof and cold, carrying a frost-like indifference that looked down on all things.
The other had snow-white hair and a thin face, looking like an old man, yet his skin did not have the slightest wrinkle. ===== CHAPTER 911 =====
