True Immortal Realm Group
Emperor Chu stepped onto the Immortal Dao, like Imperial Emperor personally leading an expedition, and arrived above the majestic Divine Mountain where the crowd had gathered.
On this Divine Mountain, Immortal Mist drifted, and silver-armored Immortal Guard appeared and disappeared within the Immortal Mist, layer upon layer, guarding the mountain with impenetrable solemnity, seemingly surrounding the entire Divine Mountain.
Li Hao and the others followed behind, and when they got closer to the place, they saw that besides them, there was another group of figures gathered on the Divine Mountain.
These people had similar clothing styles and cold demeanors, many of them exuding a powerful Aura, clearly belonging to another Immortal Dynasty.
"The Heavenly Illumination Immortal Dynasty!"
Ahead, Chu Tianzheng, a member of the Imperial Clan, swept his gaze across the area, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Beside Li Hao, the Dream Master Whispers to Li Hao and the others, informing them of the group of figures ahead.
Above the Heavenly Illumination Immortal Dynasty, a figure sat majestically amidst the Immortal Mist, his Dharma Form radiant, and smiled slightly at the Emperor Chu across the void.
Emperor Chu nodded calmly. Although the Seven Great Ancient Immortal Dynasties had their own struggles and competitions, they maintained a calm facade. However, if they were to discover each other's weaknesses, their killing moves would erupt in an instant!
Looking out over the Heavenly Illumination Immortal Dynasty, Li Hao saw several familiar figures among the Imperial Clan standing in front of him. These were the very people he had sold the Great Dao Origin Light to on the Heavenly Illumination Immortal Dynasty Heavenly Dao Bridge.
However, some of them used avatars to sell themselves, concealing their appearance and Aura, and thus not revealing their true identities.
"There are truly many powerful individuals among them."
Li Hao glanced at them and felt a sense of emotion. There were dozens of the Immortal Lord Realm in the Immortal Dynasty, and they all seemed to be participating disciples.
If this Southern Region Assembly Battle is a chaotic melee, the True Immortal Realm will have no chance to intervene; it will only be a stage for the Immortal Lord Realm.
Shortly after their arrival, another announcement rang out in the distance:
"Jin Yun Immortal Dynasty arrived for the morning audience."
Upon hearing the name "Immortal Dynasty, "Li Hao turned his head to look.
Then they saw a towering figure also riding on the rainbow light of Immortal Dao, flying towards them.
Behind him followed a vast and imposing figure, its powerful aura pressing down like an Immortal Clouds.
Li Hao, with his sharp eyes, quickly spotted a familiar face among them—it was Jin Fengling from the Five Dao Origin City, who wanted to obtain the Divine Tree Dao Fruit.
The opponent stood in the Jin Yun Immortal Dynasty, his figure outstanding and his eyes cold and disdainful. Today he wore a white and gold battle robe, looking majestic and imposing.
"Um?"
Upon arriving at the Divine Mountain, Jin Fengling enveloped it with his Divine Sense and immediately spotted Li Hao's figure within the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty.
He had been longing to encounter this True Immortal Realm who had dared to compete with him for the Divine Tree Dao Fruit back in the Origin Secret Realm, and now he had actually met him.
"True Immortal Realm Tenth Layer?" Sensing Li Hao's cultivation Aura, he raised an eyebrow and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.
Seven years Past, and he still hasn't been able to achieve enlightenment to the Immortal Lord Realm. What a pity!
If he were at the Immortal Lord Realm, he would have the opportunity to fight Li Hao in the Immortal Lord Group's Grand Battle. At that time, in front of the seven Ancient Immortal Dynasty of the Southern Region and countless people from other small and medium-sized Immortal Dynasty, he would shatter Li Hao's Dao Body, making him realize that obtaining something that does not belong to him is not a blessing, but a curse!
Li Hao noticed the mockery in the other person's eyes and Dark Dao regretted that he hadn't been able to break through in his Painting Dao; otherwise, he could have taken his revenge openly this time.
Not long after the arrival of the Jin Yun Immortal Dynasty, other Immortal Dynasty soon followed.
Among them were the Origin Reverence Immortal Dynasty, whom Li Hao was familiar with, Chi Man, whom he had met in front of the Space Origin Divine Tree. Upon seeing Li Hao, they nodded to each other from a distance.
Chi Man did not regard Li Hao as an opponent because their realms and strengths were too different, but he was deeply impressed by this young man. In addition, the spatial Origin Great Dao Li Hao sold to him allowed him to enter the Time-Space Origin City smoothly and early, without wasting much time in the Origin City.
The Jiang Rong Immortal Dynasty arrived shortly after. Imperial Daughter Jiang Tianchi also saw Li Hao and, remembering the young man who had sold her the Origin Great Dao Space, nodded slightly to Li Hao as a greeting.
Li Hao initially refused to join the Jiang Rong Immortal Dynasty, but the deal went very smoothly. In particular, after leaving the Origin Secret Realm, he learned that other Heavenly Prodigy from other Immortal Dynasty had entered Origin City a year later because they had not yet obtained the Origin Flowing Light. He felt even more fortunate to have met Li Hao.
The seven Ancient Immortal Dynasty, excluding Yan-Chu and Heavenly Illumination, are Jiang Rong, Yuan Zun, Jin Yun, Wang Qin, and Red Frontier!
Before long, the seven ancient Ancient Immortal Dynasty arrived one after another.
Soon after, other Heavenly Prodigy from the Immortal Dynasty were sent over.
However, their number of Heavenly Prodigy was significantly less than that of the Seven Great Ancient Immortal Dynasties, with some having only a few dozen people representing their respective Immortal Dynasty in the battle.
These people stood on the outer edge of the Divine Mountain. Some of the Imperial Emperor of the Immortal Dynasty were only at the early stage of the Immortal King Realm and did not have the right to take to the air. They could only obediently stand on the ground and wait.
As more and more people gathered on the Divine Mountain, the Immortal Mist in front of them suddenly stirred. Then, the Immortal Mist parted like a vortex, revealing a figure within—it was the Heavenly Palace Supreme.
Its Dharma Form is immeasurable, with vortexes of Innate Dao Light appearing around its body, radiating a profound Aura of the Great Dao. Simply standing quietly beside it allows one to gain some understanding of the Great Dao and experience its profound meaning.
Before him stood six figures, inconspicuous as dust.
However, being able to stand before the Supreme, these six people attracted the attention of the entire audience. Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, knowing that these people were most likely the Supreme's disciples, and some might even be his Personal Disciple!
The next moment, the Supreme Being gently waved his hand, and a vortex appeared in the Void, leading to the Square of the Heavenly Palace Imperial Hall. There, a group of figures stood in neat rows. As the vortex opened, they rushed over like a swarm of bees, and then landed neatly in the open space in the center of the Divine Mountain, standing in a square column.
Li Hao spotted a familiar figure among them; it was Chi Ying, whom he had met earlier.
Standing in this column, she was equally conspicuous. Surrounded by other Heavenly Prodigy, she was like a flame, her crimson light particularly striking.
As the Supreme Descent, the whispers among those present vanished instantly.
The emperors of the various Immortal Dynasty also narrowed their eyes slightly, their expressions solemn. As the sounds of worship rang out, the Divine Mountain became exceptionally solemn.
The Supreme gently raised his hand, and a dense Immortal Power descended from the surrounding vortex of Innate Dao Light, giving everyone a feeling of floating on air.
Following the Supreme's signal, a figure flew out from among the Immortal Guard, radiating a powerful Aura, even stronger than the Dream Master beside Li Hao. Without any restraint, he was rather arrogant, and loudly proclaimed:
"In this Southern Region Assembly Battle, the Soul Lifespan is limited to Three Thousand Years; it must not be exceeded!"
"Given that this Three Thousand Years span is still quite large—some people have a Soul Lifespan of one thousand years, some are nearing the end of Three Thousand Years, some are still at the True Immortal Realm, and some are already at the Immortal Lord Realm —therefore, this battle will be divided into two Grand Battle!"
"If True Immortal Realm Group makes it into the Top Ten, they will be eligible to challenge an Immortal Lord Realm expert. If they defeat the challenger, they can challenge another expert until the challenge ends!"
"At that time, their achievements will be included in the overall ranking and rewards, and they will receive the blessing of the True Immortal Realm, increasing their rewards!"
The Immortal Guard Commander loudly explained the rules of this Grand Battle.
The sound echoed throughout the Divine Mountain, and everyone's expressions varied, but as if they had expected it, their expressions did not change much.
Rumors of grouping had been circulating in various immortal Immortal Dynasty for some time.
Li Hao's heart stirred slightly. He knew that the teams would be divided into groups. After all, if it were just a simple draw for a duel, with the True Immortal Realm versus an Upper Immortal Lord Realm, the battle would be completely uninteresting. Except for a very few exceptions, almost no True Immortal Realm could withstand the suppression of the Immortal Lord Realm, and the outcome would be decided with a wave of their hand.
But how could someone who's made it into the Top Ten actually challenge Immortal Lord Realm?
Li Hao couldn't help but look at Jin Fengling. He had been worried about not having a chance to take revenge, but now the opportunity had come.
"The following is the prize!"
"The top thirty in the Immortal Lord Realm will have the opportunity to enter the Original True World for further cultivation. If they gain the favor of the Emperor Venerable, they may become disciples of the Immortal Emperor!"
"The Top Ten in the True Immortal Realm Group will also receive the same opportunities!"
"If you rank between 40th and 50th on the overall list, but not in the Top Ten either of the two lists, you will also receive the opportunity to cultivate in the Heavenly Palace Supreme Secret Realm for a period of one thousand years!"
"The remaining winners will all receive generous rewards, including Immortal Stone, Immortal Weapon, Emperor Blood, secret fruits, and more."
"There's also a mysterious surprise reward!"
"If you all perform exceptionally well, you may even gain the favor of powerful figures from all sides and be accepted as disciples. Keep in mind that this entire Southern Region Assembly Battle will be reflected throughout the Southern Region Heavenly Realms, and all races will witness it!"
Upon hearing the words of the Immortal Guard Commander, the atmosphere on the Divine Mountain immediately became heated, and everyone was somewhat excited.
Whether they were Imperial Clan of various Immortal Dynasty like Chu Tianhuang, who had a chance to compete for rankings, or others who could only barely make it onto the stage, their eyes blazed with fighting spirit and hope.
Even if you don't make it to the very front, as long as you perform exceptionally well in this Southern Region Assembly Battle, you will reap countless rewards, achieving instant fame and endless benefits!
It's important to know that in addition to the rewards bestowed by the Heavenly Palace, there are also rewards from the Immortal Dynasty, and some even have their own racial and Lineage rewards, etc.
Simply put, as long as you can perform brilliantly and outstandingly, the benefits you gain will be enough to lay a solid foundation for yourself and enough resources for tens of thousands of years of cultivation.
He rose to fame in one battle, and that battle was the key!
"Now, let's begin the group divisions!"
As the commander of the Immortal Weapon spoke, his gaze swept across the entire arena.
At this moment, the Supreme Being raised his hand, and two black vortexes appeared in the sky on either side of his shoulder!
The vortex led to an endless abyss, from which emanated intense malicious thoughts. These thoughts were so foul they seemed to tangible, making people want to vomit and causing them to change color.
This feeling was familiar to most of the people present; it was the Aura of Ancient Demon!
These two secret Secret Realm lead to two Ancient Demon Battlefield, respectively.
At this moment, the Supreme spoke softly, saying, "The Ancient Demon inside were imprisoned from Beyond the Border. Some of them have Ancient Demon Dao Fire inscribed on their bodies. You can obtain them by killing them, and only by obtaining the Dao Fire can you pass the test."
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned to the two Secret Realm, and some people's expressions began to change.
Fighting the Ancient Demon?
No, I'm afraid it's not just the Ancient Demon, but also other competitors in the same field!
Clearly, the first screening process in this Southern Region Assembly Battle was extremely brutal!
"Before you all enter the Secret Realm, I will preserve your Soul Core. If you unfortunately perish inside, you will have the chance to be reincarnated, but you will need to start over."
The Supreme said softly, "The path of Heavenly Prodigy is fraught with peril. Only by enduring the most severe trials can one have the chance to step into the King Realm, or even touch the Emperor Realm!"
Upon hearing the Supreme's words, those who had hesitated slightly immediately hardened their resolve.
Those who have cultivated to become Heavenly Prodigy and are participating in this battle all possess strong Dao Heart and will never back down in the face of battle.
Without the Conviction to fight to the death, how could one contend with the Heavenly Prodigy of all races, or battle against the Ancient Demon?!
As the Supreme finished speaking, the Immortal Guard Commander took out a treasure from his robes—a huge black mirror.
This black mirror stood in mid-air like a monument, and the figure of the Immortal Guard Commander appeared within it, revealing that his Soul Lifespan was 65,824 years!
"To the True Immortal Realm, enter the left-hand Secret Realm; to the Immortal Lord Realm, enter the right-hand realm!"
The Immortal Guard Commander said, "Before entering, we need to verify everyone's Soul Lifespan."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards the two Secret Realm.
Suddenly, someone spoke up, "Although I am True Immortal, I wish to enter the Secret Realm Immortal Lord Realm to challenge it. Is that permissible?"
The voice was clear and crisp, exuding confidence and calmness. Everyone turned to look at the speaker, who was none other than a blond-haired young man.
The young man had sword-like eyebrows and thick temples. He seemed oblivious to the gazes directed at him from all directions, and his entire body was shrouded in a domineering divine aura, like a young deity.
"They're Ancient God Clan! No wonder they dare to be so arrogant!"
"I've heard that the Ancient God Clan are born incredibly powerful, their physiques already at the Extreme Realm from birth—truly terrifying!"
"They were merely the darlings of their time. In the beginning of Chaos, it is said that a Chaos Law entered the body of a certain being, thus creating the Ancient God Clan!"
The crowd whispered amongst themselves, while some revealed a hint of envy in their eyes.
After all, just by being born into a position that gives them a head start of hundreds or even thousands of years of arduous cultivation, how could this not make people resentful?
However, many people remained calm, as they were not much inferior to the Ancient God Clan in terms of race among the Hundred Clans, and the other party was also one of the Hundred Clans.
"Cannot."
At this moment, the Immortal Guard Commander looked calmly at the God Clan Youth below:
"The Ancient Demon in the Immortal Lord Realm Secret Realm are all at the Immortal Lord Realm level, with some of the top ones reaching the Immortal Lord Realm Seventh Layer!"
"And the Ancient Demon in the True Immortal Realm are all at the True Immortal Realm Tenth Layer!"
"This is just a preliminary screening Grand Battle. The fierce fighting within the Secret Realm will also reflect on the Southern Region, so please don't overlook it."
Upon hearing this, the God Clan Youth raised an eyebrow. Thinking of what the other party had mentioned about the Immortal Lord Realm Seventh Layer, he hesitated and refrained from speaking again.
If it were only the first or second level of the Immortal Lord Realm, he might say he could give it a try, but the Immortal Lord Realm Seventh Layer... that's a huge gap!
Even though he considered himself invincible in the True Immortal Realm, he dared not challenge the Immortal Lord Realm Seventh Layer. That was not just a simple difference of seven levels, but a difference of hundreds or even thousands of times!
Upon hearing the words of the Immortal Guard Commander, the expressions of some Immortal Lord Realm present changed slightly, and even Chu Tianhuang and the others showed a hint of solemnity.
The higher the realm, the greater the gap between each level. He is at the Immortal Lord Realm Fourth Layer, and can only barely fight against the sixth or seventh level of the Immortal Lord Realm. But if the opponent is a powerful monster like the Ancient Demon, it will be even more difficult to say. If he encounters it, it will probably be a bitter battle!
The difficulty of crossing the border is no less than that of the True Immortal Realm challenging Immortal Lord Realm!
"Within the Secret Realm, there are no rules or restrictions, but before Secret Realm, all your Immortal Weapon, Immortal Talisman, and even Immortal Pill will be stripped away!"
"Furthermore, the Heaven and Earth Space cannot be opened, so the Dao Fire you obtain can only be carried on your person."
"That's what the Immortal Guard Commander said."
