Upon hearing Li Hao's words, the young man understood that Li Hao regarded it as the threshold of this Emperor Platform.

Although it was somewhat humiliating, he had no other choice now that things had come to this.

Although he could still challenge other Emperor Platform, those Emperor Platform were also competitive. There were already vacancies here, and unless he encountered Prodigy like Li Hao, he was confident that he wouldn't lose if he faced the others alone.

Even the five members of the Cloud Jin Imperial Clan just now, if it were a one-on-one fight, he could suppress them all!

"Good."

The young man agreed, then looked up and surveyed the surroundings of the Emperor Platform.

Sensing the gazes of hundreds of people around him, he revealed murderous intent in his eyes and unleashed his power without any concealment.

The crowd outside the Emperor Platform also heard Li Hao's words and their eyes all fell on the young man.

Although the previous battle between Li Hao and the young man was brief and the young man was forcefully suppressed by Li Hao, they could tell that this young man was no ordinary person.

"Since there are still two spots available, I'll give it a try!"

The young man who was first persuaded to leave by Li Hao suddenly stepped forward and smiled at the young man with the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal.

Upon hearing this, the young man with the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal's expression turned slightly cold, but he remained silent.

As soon as the other party stepped onto the Emperor Platform, he suddenly revealed the power of his Immortal Seal, condensing terrifying Sword Qi. The Nine Flowers Immortal Seal on his forehead shone brightly, and he once again unleashed the same sword strike he had used in his battle with Li Hao.

"Nine Revolutions Sword Reverence Dao."

Bang!

A powerful Sword Intent surged forth, clashing with the opponent's.

The young man who had just stepped onto the Emperor Platform suddenly became serious and drew his sword to attack.

Both were Swordsman, and two terrifying Sword Intent erupted. One Sword Intent was filled with an arrogant and domineering air, while the other Sword Intent carried a gentle and restrained Aura.

In no time, the young man who had challenged the emperor had his Sword Light shattered and he was sent flying off the Emperor Platform.

"Who else?!"

The young man with the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal sheathed his sword, his eyes sweeping over his surroundings with disdain.

Outside the Emperor Platform, many people's eyes changed slightly; with just one move, the challenger had been defeated.

They could clearly feel the power of the Sword Dao just now, even outside the Emperor Platform, and it was even more profound than when they fought Li Hao.

After all, when fighting Li Hao, this Sword Intent had not yet fully erupted before it was shattered by Li Hao's fist force.

"So strong!"

Upon seeing this scene, Lin Qingying and the others also became serious.

Li Hao's hundred-foot-tall body had already retracted, and the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form behind him had also dissipated. He didn't pay much attention to the battle between the opponents, but instead swept his gaze to the other Emperor Platform.

On the other Emperor Platform, he sensed several Aura stronger than those of the young man with the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal.

As he scanned the area, Li Hao spotted Di Linchen. The man, dressed in white, sat peacefully on the Emperor Platform with his eyes closed. While others were fighting and vying for power, the battle did not even affect the area within ten feet of Li Hao.

On the other side, Shen Wuji of the Ancient God Clan was fighting with more than a dozen figures on the Emperor Platform, seemingly incurring the wrath of the crowd and being attacked by them.

But Li Hao could tell at a glance that the opponent had the upper hand, and it was only a matter of time before they defeated those dozen or so people.

"They are all good Chess Player."

Li Hao Dark Dao to himself.

From a chess player's perspective, these are all opponents with whom one can engage in strategic play.

Time passed.

While Li Hao was resting in meditation on the Emperor Platform, the young man with the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal accepted challengers one after another.

But Li Hao always gave him a chance to rest, which reduced his own troubles and was relatively fair.

The others, intimidated by Li Hao's power, dared not act in unison and could only abide by the rules of the Emperor Platform established by Li Hao.

After all, if even the young man with the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal couldn't be defeated, let alone challenge Li Hao.

Half an hour later, the young man with the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal was defeated. His opponent was an Imperial Daughter of the Wang Qin Immortal Dynasty, who also possessed the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal and an ancient Chaos Bloodline. She mastered the Form and Control Dual Dao, and they complemented each other to form a unique Immortal Arts technique.

After defeating the youth with the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal, Qin Xiangyu casually chose a spot to sit down next to the Emperor Platform, her gaze sweeping over the group of young men surrounded by several others.

She had witnessed the previous battle and felt a surge of fighting spirit within her.

However, this was only a competition among the Top Hundred, so she refrained from challenging Li Hao, as it wasn't the right time to reveal her trump cards.

"That person is really strong!"

Lin Qingying and the others were all focused on Qin Xiangyu. Although the battle was fierce, it seemed that the opponent still had some strength left after defeating the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal.

Moreover, the opponent also possesses the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal, four of which contain the Nine Orders Power: Form Control, Water and Fire, all of which are two mutually reinforcing and restraining principles.

"I never expected that Xiangyu would have made such great progress after all these decades."

Above the Cloudmist, Heavenly Illumination Emperor spoke softly.

The Emperor Chu was also observing Li Hao's Emperor Platform. Looking at the other Emperor Platform, many of the geniuses from various Tianzong Heavenly Prodigy and the Yan Chu Imperial Family and Chu had failed and could not even get into the Emperor Platform. Only Li Hao, representing Yan-Chu, not only managed to grab a spot in the Emperor Platform but also defended it.

Have you seen her?

The Emperor Chu asked casually.

Heavenly Illumination Emperor laughed and said, "Do you still remember the Ancient Demon Refining Sea Battle decades ago? In that battle, my Heavenly Illumination Immortal Dynasty joined forces with the Wang Qin Immortal Dynasty. That little girl was one of the vanguard officers at the time, and her performance in hunting Ancient Demon was quite outstanding, but it was far inferior to today. It seems that she was holding back before."

Beside him, Emperor Qin said calmly, "This child simply had an epiphany after that battle, and went into Seclusion after returning."

Heavenly Illumination Emperor smiled noncommittally and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the path she cultivates should be the God-Demon Dao, right?"

"The God-Demon Dao?"

Beside her, the Original Venerable Empress's eyes narrowed slightly as she said, "Is it the Ancient God-Demon Dao that disappeared and became extremely rare Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Catastrophe ago? Legend has it that this path requires the fusion of the ultimate opposing paths to gain anything from it. Later, when the Ancient Demon erupted, another legend emerged that one must fuse the Immortal-and-Divine Power with the power of Ancient Demon Primordial Era cultivate it. It was the strongest Origin Great Dao in the early Primordial Era, comparable to Destiny!"

"If that's the case, even just mastering the Rudiments would be enough to become a regional overlord."

The Crimson Emperor spoke softly, his eyes lingering slightly on the young girl on the Emperor Platform.

The Emperor Qin said calmly, "This method has long been lost. You are overthinking it. If she truly has such great ambitions, it would make me feel gratified."

Upon hearing his words, the group remained silent, observing the battles taking place throughout the Emperor Platform.

Aside from Li Hao's Emperor Platform, the competition for the other Emperor Platform was also extremely fierce.

In the battle for the Top Hundred, some people want to guard a single Emperor Platform, which inevitably arouses the anger of other potential Top Hundred Heavenly Prodigy, leading to a joint attack. Fierce battles also take place on other Emperor Platform.

There were only three Emperor Platform, now quiet, with only ten people on them. The quota was full, but no one else went to challenge them.

"Looks like there are quite a few interesting guys this time. Hopefully, the top Top Hundred Battle won't disappoint me."

Shen Wuji suppressed the Emperor Platform and swept his gaze across the other Emperor Platform. The battles among the Heavenly Prodigy were far more exciting than the battles he used to watch in his clan. This made the fighting spirit in his eyes burn brightly.

His gaze swept across the Emperor Platform and he was somewhat surprised to see that onlookers were lining up to challenge Li Hao one by one.

"That kid..."

Shen Wuji narrowed his eyes slightly. He had sensed a terrifying fist force emerging from the Emperor Platform earlier, and he had glanced over at the time, noticing that it was Li Hao who had made the move.

"However, that Path of the Fist is still a bit lacking. I hope this isn't your full strength."

Shen Wuji Dark Dao to himself.

Only one spot left, and only one hour left.

On the Emperor Platform, Li Hao quietly watched the young man with the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal continue his battle. His Sword Dao was strong, but the other Great Dao Origin of the Great Dao integrated into his Sword Dao were lacking, which was why he could not yet be considered a top Heavenly Prodigy.

Lin Qingying and Yue Xi sat next to Li Hao, watching the continuous battles with complicated expressions.

They discovered that the contestants who challenged the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal seemed to be stronger than them.

If it weren't for Li Hao's protection, it would have been quite difficult for them to compete for a spot in the Top Hundred.

Gu Yan sat cross-legged, clearing his mind of all distractions and focusing intently on the battle between the young men with the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal. He practiced the Swordsmanship they used in his mind, and his own understanding of Sword Dao was rapidly improving.

As Ancient Sword Immortal Body, his comprehension of Sword Dao is unparalleled in the True Realm, and he has already made considerable gains in this Emperor Platform competition.

With only half an hour left in the battle for the Emperor Platform, a young man stepped forward to challenge the youth with the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal.

After only a few rounds of fighting, the opponent defeated the young man with the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal and secured the spot.

"Another expert!"

Lin Qingying and the others narrowed their eyes. Like Li Hao, their opponent had defeated the youth with the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal without revealing his Immortal Seal.

"That seems to be the Tai Kun Clan, which ranks ninth among the Hundred Clans!"

Yue Xi Whispers behind Li Hao, her eyes filled with deep concern.

She belongs to the Calamity Clan, which ranks last among Hundred Clans. Back when the Tian Yang Immortal Emperor was still alive, the Calamity Clan was a major clan under his command, ranking among the Top Twenty. However, in recent years, it has been in continuous decline.

After all, Myriad Races of the True World, but only a mere one hundred spots for Hundred Clans, making the competition incredibly fierce.

"So it's the Tai Kun Clan. No wonder his Blade Technique was so domineering just now. I've heard that the Tai Kun Clan's physique is naturally ten thousand times stronger than that of Human Race. Even though they're both at the Physical Terminal Realm, he's ten thousand times stronger than Human Race!"

"A disciple of the Spear Abyss said."

His race was outside the Hundred Clans, but he was quite familiar with the affairs of the Hundred Clans, especially the Top Ten of the Hundred Clans, which were all extremely Prodigy and terrifying races in the True Realm. They were distributed in the Four Regions. Even the Heavenly Palace Supreme would treat the Tai Kun Clan with courtesy.

After all, being able to stand among the Top Ten of the Hundred Clans means that even if there is no Immortal Emperor in the race, there are methods that can rival the Immortal Emperor, such as the Immortal Forbidden Emperor Artifact left behind by the Immortal Emperor, or some kind of ancient forbidden technique left behind.

"Tai Kun Clan!"

The young man with the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal healed his physical body and looked at the Black-robed Youth who had defeated him, his face grim and ugly.

He was forced to accept defeat due to racial Bloodline discrimination, feeling resentful but helpless.

"Your name is Haotian, right? I hope I can meet you in the Top Ten!"

After defeating the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal, the young man from the Tai Kun Clan didn't even turn his head before speaking to Li Hao.

The Nine Flowers Immortal Seal was not a rare thing for his clan.

However, other members of the clan comprehended it later, Soul Lifespan exceeded three thousand years.

He came here to participate in the battle only on the orders of his clan. He also heard that someone from the Emperor Clan would be participating, so he wanted to try his luck with the Emperor Clan.

After all, opportunities to fight against the most powerful Emperor Clan among Hundred Clans are rare.

"Good."

Upon hearing the challenge, Li Hao nodded with a smile.

The power of the Tai Kun Clan is indeed extraordinary, and he also has the desire to experience it.

"Snort."

The young man from the Tai Kun Clan snorted and turned to sit down on another part of the Emperor Platform.

"Time is running out; those who haven't entered the Emperor Platform yet should hurry."

At this moment, the voice of the Immortal Guard Commander rang out.

The atmosphere outside the Emperor Platform suddenly became tense, and many people looked at the young man with the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal with hostility.

The young man with the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal's expression changed slightly, his gaze sweeping coldly around him, showing no regard for the group of hesitant people who dared not make the first move.

Soon, the challenges to each Emperor Platform became increasingly intense.

Others tried their luck at the other three quiet Emperor Platform, but as soon as they set foot there, they were slapped away without even a chance to fight back.

"It's almost over."

On the Emperor Platform, the Green-Robed Girl looked at her Senior Brother Sword Heart and asked, "After this Southern Region Assembly Battle ends, what are your plans for going to the Original True World?"

"I heard from my Master that the Original Immortal Venerable left behind three top-tier Secret Art there, one of which is Swordsmanship. I want to go and study it."

Sword Heart said.

"Me too."

The Green-Robed Girl nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping over the other Emperor Platform, a hint of boredom in her eyes. Her gaze finally lingered on the young man quietly drinking, and she said:

"I really hope this ends soon. Those Emperor Clan guys should let us have a go later."

Sword Heart glanced at him and nodded slightly.

Apart from the Emperor Clan, he didn't take anyone else present seriously.

This included the God Clan Youth, as well as several other Prodigy from other major clans.

Not long after, the competition for the Emperor Platform ended.

In the final minutes, the competition among the various Emperor Platform intensified, and the Emperor Platform where Li Hao was located became somewhat chaotic as everyone else tried to rush in at the last minute.

They'll all be on the Emperor Platform then; they want to see how the verdict will be delivered.

However, Li Hao, the Tai Kun Clan youth, and Qin Xiangyu all saw through their intentions. The moment these people rushed into the Emperor Platform, they all sprang into action and quickly swept them away.

The young man with the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal ultimately held out until the end and secured a spot.

As the voice of the Immortal Guard Commander rang out, the Ten Directions Imperial Emperor Platform was enveloped by Barrier, preventing anyone outside the Emperor Platform from ever stepping inside.

Meanwhile, the two emperors were still locked in a fierce battle.

However, the Immortal Guard Commander had anticipated this situation and announced that no one else was allowed to enter, while ten people were to be separated from the group inside.

Those who finally attempted to storm the Emperor Platform were quickly driven out and were no longer able to seize anything.

Congratulations on making it into the Top Hundred in the Southern Region!

As the Ten Imperial Platforms returned to calm, the words of the Immortal Guard Commander resounded, echoing throughout the various Immortal Dynasty of the Southern Region.

With that, the Top Hundred Challenge came to an end, and many of those still on the Emperor Platform secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"They're all inside!"

Outside, Li Tiemu was pleasantly surprised. He hadn't expected that Li Hao would not only make it into the Top Hundred himself, but also bring Yue Xi, Gu Yan, and the others in with him.

This time, the Great Dream Nine Abyss Sect has a total of six people in the Top Hundred!

It should be noted that only two or three people from other Heaven One Sect have entered.

The Dream Master also had a smile on her face. She had been challenged by several people before, especially by the appearance of the young man from the Tai Kun Clan, which had made her nervous. There were more Heavenly Prodigy than she had imagined this time.

In the previous trials, many people had been hiding their true abilities, and it was only now, during the battle for the Emperor Platform, that their true strengths were revealed.
