Even Song Xiao dropped his frivolous, smiling expression and showed respect.
Seemingly aware that Ye Qiubai and the others were unaware, he explained, "There isn't much recorded in ancient texts. However, Hundred Emperor City held a pivotal position during the High Antiquity period, a time of brilliant cultivation civilization."
" The Hundred Emperor City at that time was jointly built by one hundred God Emperor Realm experts from the entire High-Latitude Realm, specifically to defend against attacks from powerful enemies from beyond the realm."
One hundred God Emperor Realm experts joined forces to create?
Those prodigies who had no access to the secrets behind it all gasped in shock upon hearing these words.
Just how brilliant was the High Antiquity cultivation civilization to produce so many powerful individuals?
Yet, this High Antiquity era, with its glorious history, still had its lineage severed by a powerful enemy from beyond the borders?
Song Xiao continued in a deep voice, "The ancient books do not record in detail some of the things that Hundred Emperor City did, but there is one point."
" Within the Hundred Emperor City, to resist the attack of a powerful enemy from beyond the realm, a hundred God Emperor used their physical bodies as walls, their bloodlines as guides, and their divine souls as spears to construct the first line of defense for the Mortal Realm. Knowing it was certain death, they still rushed forward like moths to a flame, and all one hundred God Emperor perished, buying time for the Human Ancestor to suppress the enemy..."
Upon hearing this, everyone present bowed respectfully to Hundred Emperor City.
Whether it's genuine or feigned.
The entire Hundred Emperor City deserves respect.
Without the sacrifices of our martyrs, there would be no Mortal Realm as we know it today...
Therefore, they have no right to complain about the interruption of their lineage, nor do they have the right to forgive those powerful enemies from beyond their borders...
Ye Qiubai and the others exchanged glances, their expressions grave.
Soon they will be facing this behemoth.
Although there was no possibility of retreating in the slightest, even the sacrifice of a hundred God Emperor could only slow down the enemy's advance.
How can the Mortal Realm resist in this day and age?
"However, there are probably the legacies of those fallen God Emperor in Hundred Emperor City. Let's go in," Song Xiao said with a smile.
Meanwhile, Du Yun had already taken the lead and walked into the Hundred Emperor City.
As Cheng Rongzhi stepped forward, he smiled and said, " Brother Ye, shall we have a spar after we reach Hundred Emperor City?"
Just as Ye Qiubai was about to respond, he saw Song Ci and the others walk past him.
"Remember what I said, you cannot obtain any inheritance within this Hundred Emperor City!"
Bai Gongjun, standing in the crowd, also stared at Xiao Hei with murderous intent in his eyes.
That face looked as if it wanted to devour Xiao Hei alive.
However, Xiao Hei often ignores the losers.
This made the murderous intent in Bai Gongjun's eyes even stronger.
"Let's go too," Ye Qiubai said, ignoring Song Ci's words.
So, the group entered the Hundred Emperor City.
Originally, they also wanted to see just how magnificent this legendary city, filled with heroic spirit, really was.
But as they stepped through the city gate, their bodies involuntarily felt light, and the world spun before their eyes!
A powerful Power of Space, so overwhelming that it left them with no will to resist, was tearing at their bodies!
It didn't last very long, though.
In the blink of an eye.
In their eyes, the scene had undergone a complete transformation.
Before me stretched a vast expanse of azure blue.
There wasn't anything particularly unusual about the surrounding area.
All that remained was a massive black iron gate standing before them.
On either side of the Xuan Tie Gate stood enormous human-shaped sculptures!
Each one of them looks very different, and there is a cluster of blue Soul Fire between the brows of the sculptures!
The aura emanating from the Soul Fire gave everyone present an immense sense of pressure!
The oppressive aura was too strong!
Song Xiao, standing to the side, said with a solemn expression, "98...99...100, exactly one hundred statues. Could it be that these one hundred statues are those one hundred God Emperor?"
Ye Qiubai nodded. "It shouldn't be wrong."
Du Yun and his group, along with the six members of the Supervisory Sacred Hall, who were not far away, also had the same expression, clearly having noticed this as well.
But what's next?
Are we supposed to push open that massive, seemingly endless black iron gate that looks up over our heads?
However, some incredibly curious idiots actually did give it a try.
As a result, not only did it not push it open, it couldn't be shaken even slightly!
Just when everyone present was at a loss.
One of the Soul Fire began to flicker!
It is the Soul Fire of the statue to the right of the Xuan Tie Gate.
A faint, ethereal voice emanated from within.
"Huh, finally someone's arrived? But this talent... no, wait, there are a few promising prospects."
"I know you have questions, but let's put those aside for now. Once you receive the inheritance, you'll know everything."
"To make a long story short, all you need to do is stand in front of the door and attack with all your might using your strongest attacks. Just like that kid from before... Oh, of course, he didn't react because his talent is too poor, and he hasn't been recognized by any God Emperor."
The young prodigy who had just pushed open the door turned pale and then red.
But considering the identity of the person who said that, he lost all temper...
"Of course, you can also place your hand on it and infuse your energy into the door; after all, some people like to hide their strength."
At this point in the story...
Mu Fusheng suddenly felt as if a pair of eyes could see right through him!
It seems he's been discovered... but thankfully, this senior God Emperor doesn't have any weird or wicked sense of humor to expose him...
"If you gain our approval, a phantom of Soul Fire will appear! Alright, you may begin."
Du Yun didn't waste any words and continued to do things his own way, remaining unconventional and independent.
He wouldn't do something like waiting for someone else to make the first move and then assess the situation.
He walked directly to the massive black iron gate, unleashing his Early-Stage God Emperor Realm power! With a soft shout...
Snap!
A flash of silver light, and the sword in his hand was suddenly drawn!
The Sword Intent roared wildly around Du Yun, then condensed onto that single sword strike.
He then unleashed a full-force sword strike at the massive black iron gate.
Click click click...
The ear-piercing sound of metal rubbing against metal echoed throughout the azure-blue hall.
Everyone stared nervously at the hundred Soul Fire, wondering if Du Yun, a monstrous swordsman, could attract the attention of these God Emperor ancestors.
A full three breaths had passed on the thirty-second statue on the left.
The Soul Fire materialized into a young man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He looked at Du Yun and smiled, "Your talent is passable, but logically speaking, it shouldn't be recognized. However, your act of stepping forward without hesitation has earned you a lot of points."
"My name Xingdao. Are you willing to accept my mantle?"
The Sword Emperor Xingdao is also recorded in ancient books.
Du Yun did not show any excitement. Instead, he sheathed his sword, cupped his hands, and said, "Disciple Du Yun greets Master."
The Sword Emperor Xingdao nodded slightly, then waved his hand, and the massive black iron gate opened.
"You may go in now."
After Du Yun entered.
The phantom of the Sword Emperor Xingdao transformed into Soul Fire once more, but this Soul Fire was now concealed within the statue...
