Chapter 1886 Chapter 504: Emerging from Seclusion, Contending for the Throne! (Part 4)
“The other Immortal Dynasties are the same, damn it, how can our Immortal Dynasty alone withstand these Ancient Demons!”
“They are serious this time, it’s impossible to hold them off. The strong ones from the Southern Domain are gathered in the Heavenly Palace, and the Ancient Demon Emperor hasn’t even appeared yet. If the Emperor from the Emperor Jiang Clan takes action, who knows how long our Immortal Dynasty’s Yan God Array can last!”
These soldiers all had faces full of grief and indignation.
The Yan God Array is limited to the capital of the Immortal Dynasty, it can only protect this area, and was established at a great cost. Over the years, just maintaining and supplying it has consumed half of the Yan and Chu treasury, to prevent any Emperor from attacking the Immortal Dynasty Palace and beheading Emperor Chu directly.
But even so, this great array can only barely resist; it cannot truly defend against an Emperor.
“Is the Supreme planning to use our Immortal Dynasties to first exhaust the Ancient Demons’ forces, and then let the Heavenly Palace take action?”
A general couldn’t help but speak out.
These words were truly blasphemous, causing many in the court to change color, but no one dared to rebuke, only secretly looking at Emperor Chu above.
Emperor Chu’s face was expressionless, but his complexion was somewhat gloomy. What these soldiers could think of, he naturally could think of too, and with his years of understanding of that Supreme, it was highly possible that the other party really intended to take this opportunity to force out the full strength of their Seven Immortal Dynasties before starting to assist.
“Damn, unable to become an Emperor, in the end, becomes dust!”
Emperor Chu’s fist slightly clenched. All these years, what he yearned for most was to take that step, but how difficult that step was, like ascending to the heavens, even more difficult than an ordinary person in Yan and Chu suddenly leaping up to take his place!
“Third Brother!”
Suddenly, Emperor Chu said softly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the court was stunned, then showed expressions of incredulity.
Third Brother? Isn’t Emperor Chu’s Third Brother already dead for countless years?
While everyone was in a daze, the guard who had been serving beside Emperor Chu like a shadow for years suddenly turned his head, a ripple appearing in the calmness of his eyes.
He slightly lowered his head, waiting for what Emperor Chu would say next.
“I need you to take action.”
Emperor Chu said softly, “Assist Shangguan Hong and Yuan Xinggang, hold them off; I’m now summoning the other six dynasty ancient emperors to the Heavenly Palace to meet the Supreme.”
As he spoke, a flash of light shone from his body, a figure of his incarnation emerged briefly, then disappeared instantaneously.
The guard slightly lowered his head, “Understood.”
With just two words, his figure flickered and disappeared within the Immortal Dynasty.
The past competition for the throne was extremely cruel; it was Emperor Chu who gave him a second life, and so over the years, he had always accompanied and guarded this younger brother.
Even, with the other’s help, he too advanced from Immortal King Realm Perfection to Quasi-Emperor.
With the guard’s departure, the court was instantly thrown into an uproar, countless people showing shocked expressions.
Especially some old ministers, their eyes full of disbelief.
That guard, was actually the Third Prince who was once thought to have died, who had boundless talent and a very hopeful contender for the position of Emperor?!
From his past peerless elegance and high spirits, he was now unrecognizable, no one could have linked a silent shadow-like guard with that once astonishingly talented Third Prince.
Changing aura and appearance was a trivial matter for him.
“Everyone, no matter what, we must hold on, a hundred years, no, less than ninety years now, once the True King is selected, it will be the time for the Ten Thousand Clans to counterattack!”
Emperor Chu’s gaze swept over the hall, speaking in a heavy voice.
His incarnation, together with the incarnations of the ancient emperors of the six dynasties, headed to the Heavenly Palace, hoping to request the Heavenly Palace to dispatch a few Quasi-Emperors for support.
…
Time flies.
The numerous small Immortal Dynasties in the Southern Domain have been destroyed, everywhere are scenes of people fleeing and in distress.
Besides the Southern Domain, the defensive line in the Northern Domain has also appeared with small gaps, with scattered Ancient Demon invasions plundering and killing throughout the Northern Domain.
Only the Western Regions, with its powerful strength coupled with the presence of the Heavenly Emperor Clan and Saint Clans, showed exceptionally strong resistance to the Ancient Demons, without any chaos occurring yet.
And the chaotic news from each domain had naturally reached the ears of the Immortal Immortal Emperor and the Star Empress, but hearing the situation as explained by the Empires’ Emperors, they believed it was not a problem to hold on for a hundred years, not to mention that the armies of each clan also needed to be assembled, otherwise this prelude to catastrophe would allow each clan to feel the threat of annihilation, so that when the Ten Thousand Clans unite, it can be more united in heart and effort!
Therefore, considering various factors, they temporarily retained the hundred-year agreement.
If each domain faces true peril, they would then immediately summon everyone for the True King selection.
For now, each domain had already suffered casualties but was still within their acceptable range.
Thirty years, fifty years.
Each domain struggled to resist, decades of fierce fighting with the Ancient Demons, felt the crisis of extinction that caused previously internally strife-ridden large clans to temporarily bind closely together.
They were all hoping, all waiting, waiting for the True King to lead the Ten Thousand Clans’ army to the rescue.
A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.
As a ripple of Daoist Charm rose in the quiet Abyss, countless people awakened, regardless of whether they were in closed cultivation or understanding, at this moment, they were all awakened.
Even those in seclusion were forcefully called.
Even if they didn’t intend to participate, they should prepare to face the battle, so the Star Empress’s awakening call was relentless.
In the Heaven Tower.
The Ancient Demons on each level were motionless like paintings, time also froze, and those engaged in fierce battles froze, not having reacted yet, they heard the gathering call of the Star Empress.
After eight hundred years of nurturing, the selection of the True Kings aimed to choose ten True Kings at this moment.
“Hmm?”
Li Hao also felt the ripple of Daoist Charm that seemed to sink into the depths of his soul, opened his eyes, and then heard the voice of the Star Empress coming from the top of the Heaven Tower.
“A hundred years? So soon…”
Li Hao was slightly startled, then secretly let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
Fortunately, thirty years ago, he finally managed to barely fuse the seven Realm Hearts.
