Cheers filled the sky above Emperor Pass as everyone celebrated Qin Hao's victory.
In the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, Desolate was not the only one who could defeat an Imperial Clan prodigy from the Foreign Realm. His younger brother could, too!
The faces on the Foreign Realm's side darkened. They had not expected to lose the first battle.
But once they considered Qin Hao's identity, the outcome no longer seemed so hard to accept.
He was Desolate's own younger brother, after all...
"From what we've seen, Desolate's family bloodline is no weaker than an Imperial Clan's."
"When Imperial Clans clash, one side wins and the other loses."
A Supreme from the Foreign Realm spoke.
If they treated Desolate's branch of the family as an Imperial Clan, they could just about accept the result.
"No need to lose heart. The Nine Heavens have no Undying King among them, so Desolate's bloodline cannot have many members."
"His younger brother has already fought. What next, will Desolate's elder brother show up too?"
The stronger a bloodline, the harder it was to produce offspring.
The Imperial Clans of the Foreign Realm had vast populations, but the great majority were outsiders and retainers.
Each Undying King had only a handful of children and direct grandchildren.
As for descendants who carried an Undying King's bloodline, no one knew how many generations separated them from that king.
Only then could they multiply on a large scale.
Qin Hao carried Suo Gu's head back toward Emperor Pass. The Supremes of the Foreign Realm did not intervene.
The Border Wasteland had peculiarities that suppressed certain powers. If those Supremes struck, the Supremes of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands would have time to save him.
That was why the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands had accepted this Battle
