Then Come

"Emperor Jin, this is your heir."

Amidst the Cloudmist, the Original Venerable Empress heard Jin Fengling's words, but her gaze shifted to the Emperor Jin beside her.

The Imperial Emperor of the Yun Jin Immortal Dynasty, Emperor Jin, had a very serious expression at this moment. He frowned and said, "I was unaware of their grudges."

"It's rather shameful for the Immortal Lord Realm to take the initiative."

Heavenly Illumination Emperor said calmly.

"It's not his fault. Since it's a grudge, if you were enemies with such Prodigy, you would also want to get rid of him as soon as possible."

Emperor Jin said calmly.

Previously, he had spoken highly of the young man and appreciated his talent, but now that the young man was involved with his own offspring, his expression seemed to change immediately, and he lost his affection for the young man.

Upon hearing his words, the others glanced at him, then fell silent, saying nothing more.

The Crimson Emperor, clad in a bright red dress and with skin as white as snow, gazed at the Emperor Chu. The young man was his consort, who had come to fight in the name of the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty to win glory for Yan-Chu. Yet, the Chu Emperor remained silent.

Seeing the emperor's silent and cold expression, a smile slowly crept into her eyes, but deep within that smile lay a trace of sorrow.

At the edge of the Emperor Platform, Mingyue saw Jin Fengling blocking Li Hao, and her expression changed slightly. She was about to speak, after all, she had a hundred-year agreement with Li Hao, and now that Li Hao had chosen to withdraw from the competition, she was still very confident that she could completely defeat him.

But suddenly, her eyes flickered, and she held back from speaking.

She wanted Li Hao to understand that without the Supreme's protection, he would encounter many more things like this in the future.

Refusing his Master will be something he will regret for the rest of his life!

"As Immortal Lord Realm, you dare to challenge True Immortal Realm? As Heavenly Prodigy, don't you even have the arrogance to fight against someone of the same realm?"

At this moment, a figure suddenly flew up, appearing before Li Hao like a wisp of smoke, revealing a hazy yet enormous figure, dignified and noble—it was none other than the Dream Master.

The previous duel between Li Hao and Sword Heart had already made her heart clench, but she was unable to intervene. Now, with Jin Fengling's challenge, she naturally couldn't sit idly by.

Although she could tell that the other party was a member of the Jin Dynasty royal family with a powerful background, so what?

"Um?"

Jin Fengling's expression changed slightly upon seeing the woman before him. He immediately recognized her as a member of the Great Dream Clan. His face darkened, and he said, "Senior's words are truly sarcastic. As Immortal King Realm, are you trying to humiliate a junior like me, an Immortal Lord Realm? If so, how are you any different from me!"

"That's because you took advantage of the situation first."

The Dream Master said coldly, "If you leave, I will naturally not make things difficult for you."

What if I don't?

Jin Fengling narrowed his eyes and raised an eyebrow. As he spoke, ripples appeared in the Void behind him, and an old man dressed in black brocade stepped out. His face was calm and he did not speak, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. He exuded an immense aura and confronted the Dream Master without being at a disadvantage.

The Dream Master's eyes turned cold; the other party's cultivation level was actually on par with hers.

Although they knew that the Imperial Clan was guarded by powerful figures, some of whom were generals from the Immortal Dynasty, Imperial Clan guards, and others were powerful members of the Imperial Clan family sent by the maternal side.

After all, women who could marry the Imperial Emperor of the Immortal Dynasty were born into powerful clans and possessed considerable influence themselves.

"Boy, you say our Sect Master bullies the weak? Well, we're at the same cultivation level, I'm just a few years older than you. Do you dare to spar with me first?"

At this moment, several figures flew over; it was Li Tiemu and several other elders from the Abyss.

In the Great Dream Nine Abyss, the Abyss Master of Nine Abysses are all Immortal King Realm, and the elders are all Immortal Lord Realm. Among them, the best, such as Li Tiemu, has already reached the Tenth Layer of the Immortal Lord Realm.

However, Li Tiemu's aptitude was limited, and he had remained in the Immortal Lord Realm for tens of thousands of years without ever reaching the Immortal King Realm.

Not to mention, in the Immortal King Realm, each realm is a different world. The difference between the First Level of Immortal King Realm and Second Level of Immortal King Realm of the Immortal King Realm is no less than the difference between the True Immortal Realm and the Immortal Lord Realm!

Upon hearing Li Tiemu's words, Jin Fengling glanced at him and immediately sensed the Aura emanating from Li Tiemu. His expression changed with anger, and he retorted furiously, "You old bastard at the Tenth Layer of the Immortal Lord Realm, how dare you claim to be only a few years older than me? If your Soul Lifespan is verified, and you're only a thousand years younger than me, then I'll accept your challenge!"

Li Tiemu was more than a thousand years older than him, at least seventy or eighty thousand years older.

Hearing this, he wasn't angry at all, but just chuckled coldly and said, "If you don't dare, why make so many excuses? My disciple even dared to challenge a True Immortal Realm Immortal Lord Realm to a Celestial Monarch Realm cultivator. You, as Third Level of Immortal Lord Realm cultivator, are only seven levels below me, yet you don't dare to spar?"

Hearing his sarcastic remarks, Jin Fengling almost cursed in anger. How could these be the same?

For a moment, his murderous intent towards the old man even surpassed that towards Li Hao.

Disciple? Like master, like disciple—they all must die!

He glanced at Li Tiemu with Chill expression, then waved his hand, opening up Heaven and Earth Space. From within, he took out three talismans radiating Divine Radiance, one gold, Azure, and one purple, each depicting a phantom human figure.

"You lowly country bumpkin are not worthy to fight me, Your Majesty. If you want to fight, then come and try."

The three talismans simultaneously emitted countless Divine Radiance, attracting a vast amount of Immortal Power as if being peeled back from the ashes, gradually forming three illusory figures, their bodies radiating light, their faces obscured.

However, the Aura emanating from the three illusory figures was clearly that they were all at the Peak Immortal Lord Realm, even three points stronger than Li Tiemu.

Li Tiemu's expression changed slightly, and he immediately recognized what kind of treasure this was. The original forms of these three illusory figures were all at the Immortal King Realm. Although they could only unleash the power of the Immortal Lord Realm Peak at this moment, their combat techniques, used by Immortal King, far surpassed his own.

Is this how Imperial Clan Heavenly Prodigy protect themselves?

Not only Li Tiemu, but the two elders beside him also changed color. In the Immortal City of the various Immortal Dynasty in the Southern Region, countless Aristocratic Clan families were all astonished.

Compared to the protective talismans they bestow upon their own clan's Heavenly Prodigy, the Imperial Clan is truly extravagant, casually pulling out three Immortal Lord Realm Peak guards to accompany them at all times.

"Today, no one can stop him!"

Seeing the stunned Li Tiemu and the others, Jin Fengling sneered. He glanced at Li Hao, clenched his fist, and a top-tier Immortal Weapon appeared in his palm, radiating a scarlet Sha Qi and golden Dao Patterns.

Among Jin Fengling's Nine Sequences Great Dao, he has the deepest Mastery the Metal Dao, which has reached the peak of the Fifth Layer.

My previous trip to the Origin City was to obtain the Dao Fruit of the Golden Dao Origin Divine Tree, so that I could advance to the Sixth Layer!

At that time, he was confident that he could take the Champion in the Immortal Lord Realm and look down on countless geniuses in the Southern Region.

But Li Hao ruined this step, which fueled his endless hatred for Li Hao.

"What terrifying Immortal Weapon! They seem to have swallowed countless lives."

"It also exudes a demonic aura, probably because it was fed with a lot of Ancient Demon."

"This is definitely a top-tier Immortal Weapon. No wonder the Southern Region Assembly Battle banned Immortal Weapon, Immortal Treasure, and numerous talismans. Otherwise, the power unleashed by these Immortal Lord Realm Prodigy would be terrifying. He's only at the Third Level Realm, but the Immortal Weapon in his hand feels like it could easily annihilate Third Level of Immortal Lord Realm!"

"This is the true potential of Heavenly Prodigy! It's terrifying!"

"If a member of the Imperial Clan is like this, I wonder how terrifying the Supreme's Direct Disciple would be if he possessed a top-tier treasure bestowed by the Supreme?"

"Haotian's refusal to Supreme's disciple is truly a waste of talent and a squandering of his potential. This is an opportunity that countless people dream of; there is no one in the world who can surpass the Immortal Emperor Realm!"

Countless people who witnessed this scene expressed their amazement and regret, feeling sorry for Li Hao and feeling remorse.

At the edge of the Emperor Platform, the young man, under the gaze of countless eyes, showed no remorse, only a chilling killing intent.

"Haotian, you go first. Even if it costs me my reincarnation, I will never let them harm you in the slightest!"

Before Li Hao could speak, the Dream Master's voice came, extremely calm.

Li Hao looked at the Dream Master, whose figure was large and hazy, with his back to him, as well as Li Tiemu and the others, who also did not turn around and had their backs to him.

He stared intently at him for a moment, then said, "It's alright. I wouldn't be happy to leave without killing him!"

Hearing his words, Mingyue raised an eyebrow. She had just been thinking that Li Hao had found a good Sect, but she didn't expect Li Hao to be so arrogant.

"You are really... utterly lawless!"

Mingyue couldn't help but say that if Li Hao had the protection of the Sect, he could have escaped and taken revenge in the future. But he insisted on being reckless. He had witnessed the arrogance of this young man. Facing Immortal Lord Realm wielding a top-tier Immortal Weapon, he actually wanted to fight and kill him?

"Haotian, you!"

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, Li Tiemu angrily turned around, "Don't worry about us, just leave. Our wish has been fulfilled. The Great Dream Nine Abyss, ten thousand years later, when this name once again echoes in the Southern Region, we will all be willing to perish here today!"

He spoke with absolute certainty, his eyes fixed intently on Li Hao.

The two elders beside him nodded in agreement, anxiously urging Li Hao to leave.

Before Li Hao could speak again, another figure stepped forward and chuckled:

"I'm sorry, but it seems he really can't leave today. Not only does Brother Jin have a grudge against him, but I also wish to learn a thing or two from him."

The speaker was a white-haired young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, looking at Li Hao with a hint of arrogance in his eyes, a half-smile on his face.

Li Hao turned his head and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Who are you?"

He didn't know the other person.

"It's alright if you forget me. Since you've withdrawn from the competition today, I haven't broken the rules. Brother Jin, shall we go first or shall we?"

He looked at Jin Fengling and asked casually with a light laugh.

Jin Fengling narrowed his eyes and glanced at him. He didn't know that Li Hao actually had a grudge against the other party, but he naturally didn't want Li Hao to die at someone else's hands. He also planned to put Li Hao's Primordial Spirit into the Demon Slaying Sword and repeatedly refine it, making him suffer unbearable pain.

"Of course I'll go first, but these few troublemakers, don't let them get in my way. I can catch them and let you slap them a few times to vent your anger."

Jin Fengling said.

The white-haired youth raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Easy."

As he spoke, he waved his hand slightly, and an old man's figure stepped out from the Void behind him. He was rather fat, with long, narrow eyes, and seemed extremely kind and easy to get along with. However, he did not smile at this moment, so his long, narrow eyes were like two sharp willow-leaf blades, radiating a cold light like cold stars.

Upon seeing this person, the expressions of the Dream Master and the others changed.

Another Immortal King Realm has arrived.

In this way, even if they risked their lives, they might not be able to protect Li Hao.

Before they could react, suddenly, another figure stepped out from not far away and said calmly:

"If I had another chance, I wouldn't mind slapping him twice, as a way of repaying him for wrongly accusing my Junior Sister earlier."

Li Hao looked over and saw that the young man who was speaking was the same one who had been next to the Green-Dressed Girl earlier. The other party was Immortal Lord Realm cultivator, so he was naturally also Immortal Lord Realm contestant. Born into a prestigious family, he was now kicking someone when they were down.

Li Hao was not surprised by the other party's appearance. After glancing at him, his gaze fell on the young man in white.

He was absolutely certain that he had never had any contact with the other party.

Seeing Li Hao's gaze, the young man in white seemed to guess Li Hao's thoughts, and a smile curved his lips.

Suddenly, the other person's voice rang in Li Hao's mind. "Are you confused? Well, I'm doing this out of kindness so you can die knowing why. I simply wanted to do the Heavenly Palace a favor. You rejected the Supreme Being, so the Supreme certainly didn't want to see you leave alive. It's just that the Supreme couldn't take action against you because of his pride. I'm just doing this to comply with the Emperor Heart."

Upon hearing his words, Li Hao's eyes lit up with realization, and he no longer had any doubts.

He took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, they were filled with a deep and intense killing intent, as vast as the ocean.

This killing intent was even stronger and more intense than when he slew the Ancient Demon!

In a tavern of a certain Immortal Dynasty, Mi Xueyao, dressed in a black dress, rested her chin on her hand, gazing at the Heavenly Curtain. When she saw the young man's expression, she suddenly stopped resting her chin on her hand, her eyes revealing a hint of excitement and a smile:

"Tsk tsk tsk, are they getting serious now? Human Race are indeed interesting, much more interesting than Father described. Such Prodigy talents are actually trapped within their own race, and everyone wants to kill them. How wonderful!"

"If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have invited you to come with me in the first place and taken you back with me. Father would definitely have loved you!"

As she spoke, a look of regret appeared in her eyes.

Li Hao's Cooking skills are so exceptional that they can make her kinsmen so delicious and even enhance their Primordial Spirit. If her father knew this, he would definitely protect Li Hao and love him dearly.

However, she knew that given this predicament, the boy had absolutely no chance of escaping.

However, she didn't know how these absurd Human Race could have fought against the Ancient Demon for ten thousand years.

Is it truly the last vestige of the light from those Immortal Emperors of Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Catastrophe, protecting them until now?

Thinking of the various issues within her own clan, as well as those of other Ancient Demon Royal Clan, she couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that compared to the Human Race, they weren't much better, and at times they were even ridiculously absurd.

"Then let's go."

Li Hao's gaze was deep and dark as he stared at Jin Fengling, his expression filled with chilling killing intent. "Sect Master, let him come over!"

The Dream Master's body trembled slightly, and the Dao Patterns and ribbons all over her body vibrated, just like her heart. She clenched her teeth. For so many years, she had not felt this kind of suffocating feeling.

But now, both Immortal King have locked their auras onto her. Even if she sacrifices herself and her life, she won't be able to protect Li Hao for a short time.

For ten thousand years, they have been hoping and waiting for the Sect to produce an unparalleled Heavenly Prodigy, so that the Sect can once again be famous in the Southern Region and not disgrace those ancestors who once fought to the death for the Sect.

But what I never expected was that after all the anticipation and waiting, I would have to watch helplessly as my opponent was killed right before my eyes?!

He's so young!

"The Great Dream Clan, Wanning is likely to... be unfaithful!"

She suddenly looked into the Void, where there was only an endless Starry Sky, but her gaze seemed to reach the farthest distance, where the Great Dream Clan resided.
