She looked up and saw that only the disciples of the Great Dream Nine Abyss Sect were calling out for her, while the gazes of the others were filled with surprise, complexity, and solemnity.

She could tell from those looks that many people still feared her identity as a Calamity Clan. This ingrained impression from the past 100,000 years had not been completely changed by her battle.

She remembered that the clan elders had said that in order to completely vindicate the Calamity Clan, they needed to follow an Immortal Emperor. As long as the Immortal Emperor spoke, all the slander would vanish.

At that time, she was young and ambitious. She told the Clan Elder that if she could not become a disciple of the Immortal Emperor and gain his favor, she would become the Immortal Emperor herself!

She did her best in this battle, but she doesn't know if she will be appreciated by the Immortal Emperor.

Her gaze fell upon the Heavenly Palace Supreme high in the sky, but he looked down upon the Heaven and Earth with eyes like the sun and moon, seemingly not focused on her.

She remembered that the clan elders had said that to completely prove the Calamity Clan, they needed to follow an Immortal Emperor. As long as the Immortal Emperor spoke, all the slander would vanish.

At that time, she was young and ambitious. She told the Clan Elder that if she could not become a disciple of the Immortal Emperor and gain his favor, she would become the Immortal Emperor herself.

In this battle, however, his gaze seemed to be fixed on her, not on him.

Yue Xi's eyes changed slightly, and she bit her lip. She knew that her victory in this battle mainly depended on her Bloodline power; the Great Dao Origin she herself possessed still had considerable room for improvement.

At the very least, she should catch up with Li Hao.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Li Hao, a hint of respect in her eyes.

Having fought against Qin Xiangyu, she realized even more deeply how terrifying her Junior Little Brother was.

If it were him... he should be able to win easily.

With Yue Xi's victory, the eighth battle immediately began.

The attention of everyone in the Southern Region gradually shifted to the eighth group's battle.

Yue Xi rested quietly to the side, savoring the feeling of the battle just now and the power she had felt.

Besides the power of her Bloodline, she felt as if she had also comprehended the consciousness and Conviction of her ancestors, as if across countless Time and Space, her ancestors had passed on their power to her.

Does this mean our ancestors did not completely perish?

She pondered in her heart.

At this time, within the Wang Qin Imperial Family.

"Xiangyu, don't be sad. Two people from the Great Dream Nine Abyss Sect encountered us. I will seek justice for you!"

A young man said to Qin Xiangyu.

Qin Xiangyu was somewhat lost in thought, but upon hearing this, her expression changed slightly, and she shook her head, saying, "A loss is a loss, I admit defeat. She does indeed have some impressive skills."

"Don't overthink it. That Calamity Clan doesn't even dare to step on my Wang Qin Imperial Family to make a name for themselves. Humph."

The young man looked down at her with disdain, waved his hand to stop Qin Xiangyu from trying to persuade him further, and had already made up his mind.

Qin Xiangyu's expression changed slightly, and she said with some anger, "This is my business, don't interfere."

"We, the Imperial Clan family, will reclaim our honor. Our actions are none of your business."

Seeing this, the young man coldly replied.

Qin Xiangyu's face was grim. She turned to look at the Great Dream Nine Abyss Sect, only to see a joyful and cheerful atmosphere there, with everyone cheering for the girl who had won earlier.

She was somewhat dazed; how could the Calamity Clan be loved by so many people?

On the Emperor Platform, the battle was fierce. The eighth duel ended quickly, with Jin Ziyin, who had previously fought with Li Hao for the Emperor Platform, emerging victorious.

Soon, the ninth and tenth groups took their turns.

"Your turn is almost here."

The Dream Master looked at one of Book Abyss's disciples.

With Li Hao's protection, the opponent has also entered the Top Hundred, making him a rare Prodigy in the Book Abyss. His participation in this Southern Region Assembly Battle can be considered as bringing glory to the Sect.

"Um."

The young man nodded, exuding a scholarly air. His Dao was the Literary Dao, the highest realm of which was the ability to record the Heavenly Dao Emperor Realm and pass it on to the world. However, since ancient times, no one has been able to reach this ultimate realm; it is merely the Ultimate Realm pursued by countless cultivators of the Literary Dao.

Soon, the Eleventh group began their battle.

Song Shuhai bowed to the Dream Master, then bowed slightly to Li Hao before quickly ascending the Emperor Platform.

Within the Sect, many disciples immediately cheered him on.

Meanwhile, within the Great Dream Nine Abyss Sect in the Yan-Chu territory, many disciples of the Book Abyss cheered.

"It's Senior Brother Song Shuhai! It's finally his turn!"

"Book Abyss Senior Brother Shuyuan! If you can break into the Top Five, that would be incredible!"

"Come on!"

The disciples within the Sect cheered.

Meanwhile, within the territory of Yan-Chu, the Nine Thousand Immortal Cities, upon learning that the ones going to battle were from the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty, cheered and shouted Song Shuhai's name to encourage him.

Whoosh!

On the Emperor Platform, a figure in a black imperial robe flew up and leaped onto the Emperor Platform, his eyes coldly fixed on Song Shuhai.

When Song Shuhai saw the other person, his expression changed slightly. He wondered if it was fate that he had encountered a member of the Imperial Clan the Wang Qin Immortal Dynasty again.

He had previously noticed that the Imperial Clan of the Wang Qin Immortal Dynasty had the most members who had been promoted among the seven dynasties' Imperial Clan, with a total of eight members, which increased the probability of them meeting.

"Please."

Song Shuhai bowed slightly, appearing refined and cultured.

The young man opposite him looked down at him with disdain and contempt, but remained silent.

At this moment, as the Sealing Array Barrier closed, the battle was about to begin.

Song Shuhai immediately unleashed his Literary Dao, a tattoo appearing on his forehead, and chanted. "I Literary Heart Illuminates the Painting!"

Dharma Form suddenly appeared behind him, but it was not a human figure; rather, it was a scroll, resembling a painting or calligraphy.

"Hmph, you insignificant fellows dare to show off your limited skills before an expert!"

The young Imperial Clan snorted coldly, suddenly raised his hand, and three kinds of Great Dao Origin condensed in his palm, all of which were Nine Orders Aura. They were the Golden Dao Source, the Water Dao Origin, and the Fire Dao Origin!

"Break!"

He raised his hand, and the origins of Water Dao Origin and Fire Dao Origin seemed to merge with each other. Then, the Golden Dao Source transformed into a long spear, gathering the power of Water and Fire, and suddenly rushed towards Song Shuhai.

Song Shuhai felt the opponent's overwhelming power, and his expression changed instantly. Three of the Nine Orders were activated, and the Water and Fire paths seemed to have reached a strange balance, unleashing power several times greater Water and Fire Great Dao.

He hurriedly activated his Literary Heart, and as he chanted incantations at an extremely fast pace, ferocious beasts and a raging flood suddenly shot out from his Dharma Form.

On the battlefield, he would definitely be considered an extremely strong assistant, but on this Emperor Platform battlefield, as soon as the ferocious beast and the flood rushed out, they were pierced by the Imperial Clan youth's spear. The Water and Fire and fire spiraled out like a red and blue light, piercing through all the way.

Bang!

Song Shuhai conjured two Immortal Arts for defense, but they were instantly pierced, and his body was struck by a force, sending him flying backward.

He hurriedly said, "I admit defeat!"

He hadn't even had a chance to unleash his full power, but the force of his opponent's spear was already overwhelming. He felt that even if he shattered his Immortal Seal, he might not be able to withstand it, so he decisively conceded defeat.

Too late!

The Imperial Clan youth's eyes were cold, and his Movement Method suddenly Ru Meng. In the Return to Emptiness Extreme Realm, he used a special power to refract and appeared in front of Song Shuhai in an instant, like lightning, and the spear pierced through his head.

A Primordial Spirit burst out of Song Shuhai's body, fleeing in panic and looking at him in terror.

"I've already given up!"

He shouted loudly.

The Imperial Clan youth's spear did not stop for a moment. A Primordial Spirit covered in Golden Thread threads shot out from the top of his head and arrived in front of Song Shuhai in the blink of an eye, intending to kill him.

Compared to his opponent, Song Shuhai's Primordial Spirit was significantly weaker. Although he had also broken through the Primordial Spirit Extreme Realm, the number of condensed Primal Spirit Golden Vein he possessed was extremely small.

"Not good!"

The Dream Master's expression changed drastically as he watched this step with shock and anger. He rushed out, but was blocked by the Sealing Array Barrier.

The Imperial Clan youth raised his Primordial Spirit to suppress the attack, but time seemed to freeze, and he could no longer move.

Why go to such extremes?

The indifferent voice of the Immortal Guard Commander rang out, and his figure appeared out of thin air on the Emperor Platform, blocking the opponent's attack which contained murderous intent. Then, with a wave of his hand, he sent Song Shuhai's Primordial Spirit back into his physical body, and released a burst of Immortal Power to make his physical body heal quickly. The power of the Water and Fire Great Dao at the wound was also erased.

"In this battle, Wang Qin Immortal Dynasty defeated Qin Mingyi!"

The Immortal Guard Commander made the announcement on the spot, then looked at the gloomy-faced Imperial Clan youth and shook his head slightly. He knew that the other party probably wanted to avenge Qin Xiangyu, but this was obviously too ruthless.

Seeing that Song Shuhai had survived, the Dream Master and Li Hao and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"What are those Wang Qin Imperial Family doing? They actually want to kill someone on the spot!"

"Even Senior Brother Song Shuhai has admitted defeat, yet he still wants to make a move!"

"How outrageous! To act so arrogantly in front of the Supreme and the Imperial Emperor of all the Immortal Dynasty —is this the Wang Qin Imperial Family? They are far too Emptiness Gaze!"

The disciples within the sect were all extremely shocked and enraged.

Yue Xi was somewhat stunned, and suddenly realized that it seemed that she herself had brought this upon herself.

She felt a pang of guilt and looked at her Senior Brother.

Li Hao's eyes were cold as he stared intently at the young man without saying a word.

"The arrogance of the Imperial Clan is truly unrestrained!"

Gu Yan Whispers, Killing Aura glint in his eyes.

"That Wang Qin Imperial Family is so domineering! Even after the other side admitted defeat, they still want to kill them!"

"I've long heard that the Wang Qin Imperial Family thinks highly of themselves, and it seems that's true."

"Hmph, what do you know? That guy has no ability, so he should just go up on stage and admit defeat. He has to experience the real power before he knows how to admit defeat. If this were on the battlefield, who would give him a chance to beg for mercy?"

Within the Wang Qin Immortal Dynasty, a small number of people felt that Qin Mingyi was too ruthless, while the majority supported their own Imperial Clan, believing that this was the kind of brutal competition that Heavenly Prodigy should face.

When Song Shuhai returned, everyone greeted him with concern.

Song Shuhai, still shaken, said, "I'm fine. Luckily, the Immortal Guard Commander intervened in time."

"If someone were to be killed even after admitting defeat right under the Supreme Being's nose, that would truly be an injustice!"

The Dream Master's eyes, however, were somewhat cold as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, everyone thought it made sense; if even the Supreme and the Imperial Emperor of the various Immortal Dynasty couldn't stop it in time, then it would be too exaggerated.

"If things don't go well later, you must admit defeat in time to avoid being reborn as a ghost."

The Dream Master addressed the others.

The others nodded, not feeling insulted by the words. They were able to make it into the Top Hundred and fight alone on the Emperor Platform thanks to the opportunity brought by Li Hao.

Before long, a new round of fighting began.

Li Hao stood with his arms crossed, watching silently. Soon, he saw Lin Qingying take the stage.

In the Sword Ancestor Land, Li Hao enlightened Lin Qingying with the Void Sword Dao Sword Dao, the core of which is nothingness.

Now, Lin Qingying has grasped this art to a very deep level. Her Sword Qi is unpredictable and difficult to find, and her attacks are extremely tricky. However, it is regrettable that her foundation is still shallow, and she ultimately lost.

After her defeat, Lin Qingying looked somewhat dejected, but she knew that she had reached her limit.

She looked at Li Hao and saw the encouraging look in his eyes, which immediately made her feel much better.

"So powerful, that Sword Dao is impossible to defend against."

"Those are disciples of the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Pavilion; their Sword Dao is naturally superb."

"Although I lost, I feel that an ordinary True Immortal Realm Tenth Layer would probably die without even knowing how they were killed in front of her!"

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, with people all over the Southern Region debating the terrifying nature of Lin Qingying's Sword Dao.

In a remote mountain sword-fighting arena, an Old Woman emerged from cave abode, carrying a Green Vine Wood in her hand. However, the staff was actually a sword sheath, concealing a sharp edge.

"Path of Nothingness, at such a young age, he has actually grasped the Path of Nothingness so deeply. Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Pavilion? Interesting. I wonder if they would be willing to part with this disciple."

The Old Woman chuckled, summoned the disciple at the cave abode entrance, and said, "Prepare the carriage; we're going to the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty."

"Master, what are you going to do in that Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty?"

An elderly man, well past fifty, asked respectfully with a hint of doubt.

"That little girl is nice, I'll go ask her for help."

The Old Woman laughed.

Upon hearing this, the many figures in the sword arena who had come to learn from him were all surprised and looked at the Cloud End with envy.

Unexpectedly, the Earth Mother of the Void Realm, who has been living in seclusion for many years, has actually come out of the mountains to take on disciples.

"Your turn."

Outside the Emperor Platform, the Dream Master and others looked at Li Hao.

This is the seventeenth Grand Battle, a duel between Li Hao and a disciple of a certain force from the Red Frontier Immortal Dynasty.

Although the other party was Imperial Clan, their name indicated that they were from the Zhan Tian Clan.

Among the True World Hundred Clans today, the Battle Heaven Clan ranks tenth, with countless geniuses within its Heavenly Prodigy.

"Haotian, the strongest innate Secret Method of the Battle Heaven Clan is the Battle Heaven Eight Desolations. It can increase one's power eightfold for a short period of time, but after it ends, it will damage one's cultivation, leaving one extremely weak and at the mercy of others!"

The Dream Master quickly explained his opponent's methods to Li Hao, saying, "I don't know what level that person has cultivated to, but with his True Immortal Realm cultivation, he's at most at level five. You need to be careful."

Li Hao nodded slightly and gracefully stepped onto the Emperor Platform.

Soon, a young man dressed in a white-gold robe, with a cold and sharp look in his eyes, soared onto the stage.

His gaze was fixed on Li Hao, his expression showing no disdain, but rather an unusual seriousness.

He had watched the replay of Li Hao's performance in the True Immortal Secret Realm, and the fact that Li Hao had just suppressed an Emperor Platform made him even more concerned.

"Don't blame me for bullying the weak."

Zhan Yuchen said in a deep voice.

Li Hao nodded. "Please."

The two unleashed their Immortal Power simultaneously, but Li Hao's gradual approach allowed his Extreme Realm Power to manifest layer by layer, with his Dharma Form standing tall behind him.

"Let me experience your mastery of Spacetime Dao!"

Zhan Yuchen roared, and a domineering Dharma Form appeared behind him, its whole body bursting with Silver Light and exuding a strong fighting spirit, as it charged towards Li Hao.

Li Hao raised his hand, and Sword Qi condensed in his palm. As the other party wished, he integrated the power of Time and Space into the Azure Sky Sword Technique.

Time and Space, Triple Azure Heaven!

Past Future overlapped in the instant the sword was drawn, the three swords Unity, instantly tearing through the Void of the Emperor Platform, blowing Zhan Yuchen's full head of black hair wildly.
