"We shall obey the edict."
The kings of the Immortal Domain and Burial Domain were shaken to their core. After the Emperor-Drop Era, their former glory had returned. Once again, Emperors would cross the sea to quell the dark calamity. This was an earthshaking event.
Unlike the clamor they had imagined, the entire heavenly palace was silent. Moreover, this time, it was not just one Emperor setting out to sea. All the Emperors of the Nine Heavens would depart and set foot in the ancient land where the ultimate darkness lay. An Emperor battle that would shake the world was about to begin, and ancient history itself might fall into chaos.
Meanwhile, in the Central Ancient Hall, Shi Hao was also gathering the kings of the Nine Heavens. Over the years, many kings had joined the Nine Heavens. More than a hundred peerless kings emerged from seclusion and assembled in the Ancient Hall.
Yet before Shi Hao's power, which suppressed all ages, the kings' might was subdued.
Butcher, Meng Tianzheng, Ancestor Gu, and the Thunder Emperor-the four beings who had nurtured emperor light-sat cross-legged almost directly before Shi Hao.
The Ten-Crown King, Lin Ni, Shi Yi, the Exiled Immortal, and the other titans also occupied the very center. The dozen or so kings of the Heavenly Emperor Lineage stood out far too much. Dressed in black battle robes, with countless True Immortals behind them, they looked ready to form an army of the Immortal Dao. Under Lin Yue's influence, the Lin Family had developed a particular fondness for black.
Moreover, this gathering of kings was truly a forest of titans. Aside from the many King Realm titans of the Nine Heavens, some old kings and titans from the Boundary Sea had also returned.
The entire Ancient Hall was likewise silent.
