"If the Four Emperors are at the pinnacle of existence, then the Two Palaces are at the God Grade in the heavens! The Two Palaces are the Star God Hall and the Nether Soul Hall. The Eastern Star Emperor's backer is the Star God Hall! He is the disciple of Luo Feng, the master of the Star God Hall!"
"Finally, I must mention that our Spirit Emperor is arguably the most normal and easiest to get along with among the four. Unfortunately... alas..."
As he finished painting, Leng Handao sighed softly.
Unfortunately, Spirit Emperor's health was failing!
Regarding the issue of succession, the Northern Spirit Emperor had also told him that Leng Handao had a good impression of Xie Feng, so he was able to accept it quickly and had already regarded Xie Feng as the next Spirit Emperor in his heart!
At the center of the Sixth Universe, ancient and prosperous, stands the Heavenly World City, shrouded in spiritual mist. Rows of gilded white jade pillars stand before the city gates, creating a scene resembling a fairyland.
Four days later.
Xie Feng and his group arrived at Heavenly World City.
At this moment, just as dawn was breaking, the sky was still dark and a cold wind was blowing.
The starship landed.
At this moment, the city gates opened wide, and the city lord of Heavenly World City, along with his deputy city lord, personally welcomed them!
As everyone stepped out of the starship, the city lord stood before the majestic city gate, exuding a stern, noble, and elegant aura.
It is none other than City Lord Dongfang Xun!
Standing behind her was Fang Yan, the deputy city lord. As his name suggested, he was strong and robust, but not good with words.
Behind them stood several soldiers in black.
"Lord, we've arrived!"
Leng Handao stepped forward first, speaking concisely and to the point.
Knowing his temperament, Dongfang Xun didn't hold it against him, and simply smiled and said, "It's good that you arrived safely in Heavenly World City. Protector Leng, where is Spirit Emperor?"
Leng Handao said expressionlessly, " Spirit Emperor's health is deteriorating, and he cannot come! After discussing with the other three emperors, Spirit Emperor has been permitted to seek external assistance."
Xie Feng greets the City Lord!
Xie Feng immediately smiled kindly and nodded politely to Dongfang Xun.
Dongfang Xun looked at him and smiled, "To be able to become an ally of the Spirit Emperor, you must be quite powerful. May I ask your names?"
She then turned her gaze to what was behind Xie Feng.
" Xie Ling!"
" Yao Cang!"
"I am Dongfang Xun, the city lord of Heavenly World City. You have come from afar, please follow me into the city to rest!"
Dongfang Xun's speech always gives people a comfortable feeling, like a gentle breeze.
The crowd entered the city and walked on the streets.
Heavenly World City truly lives up to its reputation as the Central City of the Sixth Universe. Although it is dawn, the sky is dark, and the streets are deserted, with only the towering city walls standing deep and awe-inspiring, its magnificent and splendid appearance is still evident.
It must be even more bustling during the day.
The city is vast, and as the morning sun rises, its golden-red rays bathe the earth, creating a solemn atmosphere.
Dongfang Xun walked alongside Xie Feng. Although he kept his eyes on the front, he secretly glanced to the side out of the corner of his eye.
She was somewhat shocked!
Even with her cultivation level as God Emperor, she couldn't see through Xie Feng!
It's not the kind of bewilderment that makes you unable to see through it, but rather that you can't sense even the slightest bit of its power!
She thought to herself, "No wonder the Northern Spirit Emperor chose this person as his successor; he is indeed an extraordinary individual."
Dongfang Xun smiled and said, " Northern Spirit Emperor cannot come, Young Master Xie, you have come in his place. Your courage and strength are commendable!"
"You flatter me, City Lord. I would like to ask, besides us, who else from the Three Emperors has come?"
Xie Feng smiled politely.
" The Southern Illusion Emperor and the Eastern Star Emperor!"
"Where is the Western Nether Emperor You?"
"As far as I know, news came from the west yesterday that Nether Emperor has postponed the war for a few days due to some reason. He won't miss the Battle of the Four Emperors, whatever."
Dongfang Xun.
Hearing her say that, Xie Feng and Xie Ling exchanged a glance.
Xie Ling chuckled to herself.
This "reason" probably means he's recuperating from an injury!
After all, he had put a lot of effort into that attack, and even if the opponent was a God Grade guru, he was still no match for a Great Emperor.
Soon, Dongfang Xun led everyone to a spacious and tall courtyard. Although it was close to the capital, the location was carefully chosen. Although it was bustling, it was not noisy, allowing them to spend the next few days without any distractions.
This is the residence of Spirit Emperor.
Xie Feng pushed open the door and entered. In the courtyard sat several clean and elegant houses, as well as an arched bridge and a corridor. Wisteria flowers hung down from the corridor, and from a distance, it looked like a deep purple sea of flowers, which was very beautiful.
The group settled down there.
After bidding farewell to Xie Feng and the others, Dongfang Xun returned to the royal city.
At this moment, a female disciple rushed over, saying anxiously, "City Lord, something has happened at the Emperor Rainbow Platform!"
Dongfang Xun's expression changed!
Her gaze remained fixed on the female disciple, and she calmly asked, "Don't panic, what happened?!"
The disciple replied, "I do not know! The Emperor Rainbow Platform Non-Self to enter. I only know that it is currently in a state of great turmoil! You should go and take a look!"
Dongfang Xun frowned and hurried over!
The Emperor Rainbow Platform is no ordinary place!
That's where the Emperor Rainbow shines!
The Emperor Rainbow is a gift from the heavens of the Sixth Universe. It appears once every fifty years and is a precious resource specifically bestowed upon the leader of the Four Emperors!
With the Battle of the Four Emperors approaching, if something happens to Emperor Rainbow, the impact will be huge!
The Emperor Rainbow Platform is located on the tenth underground level of the main hall of the royal city. When Dongfang Xun arrived on the tenth level, she reached out and touched a certain mechanism. In an instant, she and her female disciple entered a strange space!
Within this space, colorful clouds drifted and spiritual mist swirled. They walked forward until they reached the center, where the clouds finally parted and the sun shone through!
A colossal golden pillar stands in the center of the plaza, carved with dragons and phoenixes, reaching a height of one hundred feet; this is the Heavenly Pillar.
At the top of the Heavenly Pillar, a dim golden flame burned.
In the Battle of the Four Emperors, the first emperor was determined, and the Emperor Rainbow appeared, which was then received by the Golden Emperor Heavenly Flame.
The purpose of this flame is self-evident!
But now, it seems to be in its twilight years, gradually fading away!
In other words, it's disappearing!
Even the Dongfang Xun couldn't help but show a hint of anxiety at this moment. She hurriedly asked the female disciple beside her, "What's going on? Find out the cause quickly! Find out the cause quickly!"
The female disciple bowed her head and said, "Reporting to the City Lord, it is the expiration of Golden Emperor Heavenly Flame's lifespan!"
Dongfang Xun's expression froze for a moment.
This is not a man-made disaster, but a natural one! The Golden Emperor Heavenly Flame is a flame from millions of years ago, which has dedicated its entire life to the Emperor Rainbow until today, when it has completely burned away all the energy within its body.
Dongfang Xun raised his eyes and stared at the wisp of flame above the Heavenly Pillar.
Gradually...
The fire is getting weaker and weaker...
call!
A gentle breeze blew by.
The Golden Emperor Heavenly Flame swayed for a moment, then vanished completely!
From that day forward, the Golden Emperor Heavenly Flame would never exist again!
Dongfang Xun's heart skipped a beat. She frowned deeply, her mind racing.
The disappearance of the Golden Emperor Heavenly Flame is such an important matter that it must not be told to the outside world, otherwise it will cause a turmoil!
Now, there's only one thing she can do: find a replacement for the Golden Emperor Heavenly Flame!
