Seven Venerables Fort.
" Emperor Huan!"
An elderly blue-eyed man from the Earthly Branch Alliance said in a deep voice:
"If we had known earlier that Great Emperor Wanxing would leave Heavenly Bohai Sea, this would have been the best opportunity to crush the Heavenly Stem Alliance!"
You need to give us an explanation for this!
Faced with the interrogation of six Half-Step Heavenly Lord, the Emperor Huan remained calm:
"An explanation? What kind of explanation do you want?"
Her gaze swept over the crowd, and she said calmly:
"The failure of this plan was not intentional on my part."
"I can only say that, like you all, I fell into a cognitive trap and misjudged that person's true identity."
Hearing her words:
The blue-faced old man frowned and said in a deep voice:
"Since you put it that way, we'd also like to know."
"Just who is this ' Great Emperor Wanjie ' that would make the Great Emperor Wanxing risk everything to rescue him?"
Upon hearing this statement:
The other half -Half-Step Heavenly Lord also turned their gazes to the Emperor Huan, awaiting her answer.
"Why..."
Emperor Huan sighed softly:
"You are all familiar with that ' Great Emperor Wanjie '."
"He is the newly accepted disciple of the Supreme Star Venerable, the ' Quasi-Emperor Taiyu ' who caused a sensation across the Three Thousand Dao Domains several years ago!"
"What?"
The old man with the blue face and the others were immediately taken aback.
" Quasi-Emperor Taiyu? It was actually him?"
"This... it's only been a few years? How could his cultivation have progressed so quickly?"
"That's right. Since the Supreme Star Venerable accepted him, it proves that he hadn't even achieved the Third Divine Realm a few years ago..."
"To be on the verge of becoming Half-Step Heavenly Lord in just a few short years is truly astonishing!"
"So he's the junior brother of the Great Emperor Wanxing! No wonder he risked everything and left Heavenly Bohai Sea to save the day!"
The few Half-Step Heavenly Lord present immediately understood.
The identity of the Great Emperor Wanjie was, in fact, just as they had suspected, not revealed within the Heavenly Stem Alliance.
Otherwise, he would have been transferred to the Heavenly Bohai Sea and placed under strict protection long ago.
However, they fell into a misconception, thinking that the fact that his identity had not been exposed meant that he had no backing within the Heavenly Stem Alliance.
But the result was a slap in the face:
That Great Emperor Wanjie clearly has powerful backing, and a very strong one at that!
It was precisely because they were unaware of this crucial intelligence that the plan failed, and they missed a golden opportunity.
"..."
The blue-eyed old man paused for a moment before staring at the Emperor Huan and slowly said:
"None of us expected the Great Emperor Wanxing to make a move, so it's not your fault."
"But you personally led the ambush and seized the initiative, so why didn't you kill that Great Emperor Wanjie?"
"Right!"
The other half -Half-Step Heavenly Lord also began to press for answers:
"Even if the Great Emperor Wanxing were to travel at top speed from the Heavenly Bohai Sea, it would still take him an hour to reach the Great Tomb of a Thousand Autumns, wouldn't it?"
"You spent a whole hour fighting an Emperor Venerable and still couldn't kill him?"
Faced with the crowd's questioning:
Emperor Huan's expression was somewhat unpleasant. After a long silence, he gritted his teeth and said:
"You have no idea what kind of monster that Great Emperor Wanjie is..."
She briefly recounted the battle within the Great Tomb of a Thousand Autumns.
The expressions of the six Half-Step Heavenly Lord changed as they listened.
"He has mastered more than ten Upper-Tier Law?!"
The blue-faced old man exclaimed in shock:
"Are you sure you haven't fallen under some kind of illusion spell?"
Emperor Huan frowned and snorted coldly:
"What kind of illusion can affect me through the Time Ring Domain?"
Upon hearing her words, the blue-eyed old man fell silent.
Not only him, but the other Half-Step Heavenly Lord also looked at each other in bewilderment.
There are two paths to becoming Heavenly Lord Ruler;
The first principle is the "activation" principle: specializing in one Upper-Tier Law greatly enhances control over that principle.
The second principle is to select different Upper-Tier Law, intertwine and merge them to create one's own unique laws;
Generally speaking:
The first path has a very wide range of combat power, depending entirely on the individual's Daoist skills and performance.
The second path leads to a more balanced combat power; the more Upper-Tier Law one integrates, the stronger one becomes.
Most of the Half-Step Heavenly Lord who embarked on the second path simply fused two Upper-Tier Law.
no way:
If an additional Upper-Tier Law is added to the fusion process, the difficulty will increase many times over.
For example, the Great Emperor Wanxing fused the three Upper-Tier Law "Stars," "Order," and "Space," making him incredibly powerful.
Among the two major alliances and more than a dozen Half-Step Heavenly Lord, the Great Emperor Wanxing's combat power is among the top.
And Half-Step Heavenly Lord has integrated more than a dozen Upper-Tier Law...
None of the Half-Step Heavenly Lord in the Earthly Branch Alliance dared to imagine how terrifying their strength would be once the Great Emperor Wanjie reached the Half-Step Heavenly Lord realm!
"This person must not be allowed to continue!"
The blue-eyed old man decisively said:
"He's not even Half-Step Heavenly Lord yet, but he managed to hold off the Emperor Huan for a full hour—truly unprecedented!"
"If he were to reach this level, I'm afraid no one would be able to control him!"
"By then, our strategic plan will have completely failed, and it will be impossible to kick the Heavenly Stem Alliance out before the 'gift' arrives!"
He paused, his tone chilling:
"We must launch a new round of war as soon as possible, and at all costs, kill that Great Emperor Wanjie!"
"If this person gains power, we'll be in big trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Huan frowned and said:
That's probably difficult.
" Great Emperor Wanxing and the others aren't fools; they'll definitely fight tooth and nail to protect him."
"Unless we can break through Heavenly Sea Fortress in one fell swoop, it will be almost impossible to kill him."
Upon hearing this, the blue-eyed old man's gaze deepened:
"Then we'll see just how determined they really are!"
Inside Heavenly Sea Fortress.
The Great Emperor Wanxing and four other Half-Step Heavenly Lord were stationed there, guarding against a surprise attack by the Earthly Branch Alliance.
Normally speaking:
They are at a strategic disadvantage and should not be concentrating their top-level forces in such an unusual way, as this could easily give the Earthly Branch Alliance an opportunity to exploit.
However, in order to protect Chen Qingyu, they unusually reduced their forces and held firm at Heavenly Sea Fortress.
Inside Heavenly Sea Fortress:
"Rumble..."
Accompanied by the vibrations of Divine Power, Chen Qingyu was refining the Heart of Myriad Realms at an astonishing speed!
After reaching the Middle Emperor Venerable:
As his strength further increased, the speed at which he refined the Heart of Myriad Realms also increased dramatically.
It takes a little over two hours to refine a complete Heart of Myriad Realms; in the Endless Battlefield, one can refine about ten in a day.
"Call..."
Chen Qingyu opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.
He secluded himself for three days to cultivate diligently, refining more than thirty Heart of Myriad Realms, which greatly increased his strength.
However, there is still a long way to go before reaching the Late Emperor Venerable.
" The Realm of Creation becomes increasingly difficult to cultivate as you progress."
"From the Early Emperor Venerable, only ten Heart of Myriad Realms were used."
"But to reach the Late Emperor Venerable, even two or three hundred Heart of Myriad Realms might not be enough..."
Thinking of this, Chen Qingyu couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
Even with the most optimistic estimate, it would take him one or two months to reach the Late Emperor Venerable.
But can the Earthly Branch Alliance give him that much time?
