The Battle of National Fortune
"Let's attack together!"
The four Immortal Emperors were all shocked by how easily Zhuo Ning had repelled the Blood-Red Immortal Emperor.
But now the die is cast and the arrow must be released.
If you can block one, can you block four?
In the sky, swords, pagodas, red lotuses, and floating dust, all formed from the National Fortune, rushed towards the great sun almost simultaneously.
Even though he was completely enveloped by the blazing sun, Zhuo Ning still felt immense pressure, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing within him.
Zhuo Ning, however, was surprised to feel the pressure.
This intensity... doesn't seem as exaggerated as I imagined.
Faced with the attacks from the four National Fortune, Zhuo Ning calmly controlled the National Fortune Great Sun to keep dodging.
The four saw that Zhuo Ning, after being struck by the Blood-Red Immortal Emperor, dared not confront him directly.
He suspected that the Blazing Sun Immortal Emperor's attack just now wasn't as effortless as it appeared.
As a result, the morale of the group soared to unprecedented heights.
The four National Fortune chased after the Blazing Sun's National Fortune, both eliminating and attacking it.
Fortunately, the fate of the Blazing Sun National Fortune was handled very flexibly under Zhuo Ning's control.
Aside from some unavoidable bumps and bruises, they almost completely evaded all four attacks.
Immortal Emperor Daoyi laughed heartily when he saw that even Zhuo Ning didn't dare to confront the four of them head-on.
"Hahaha, Blazing Sun Immortal Emperor, with your inability to even accept a challenge, how will you rule the Human Clan in the future? Even if you were to become the Common Sovereign of the Human Clan, how many would truly Qi Ingestion of your authority?"
Although Immortal Emperor Daoyi's provocation was far too obvious.
But Zhuo Ning, upon hearing this, continued to dodge while responding.
"Hahaha, Immortal Emperor Daoyi is right. However, facing the combined attack of the four Immortal Emperors, it is quite remarkable that I have managed to hold out until now by simply dodging. I wonder if any of you could have done the same?"
The four Immortal Emperors, who were hot on their heels, were immediately speechless.
Zhuo Ning's words left the others speechless.
Four against one and we can't even dodge? Isn't that bullying an honest person?
The others observed that Zhuo Ning was still dodging with ease, clearly indicating that he could sustain a prolonged battle.
The attack by the Blood-Red Immortal Emperor just now has demonstrated the strength of the Blazing Sun National Fortune's fortune, far surpassing that of the other four kingdoms.
Moreover, both sides have now established a defensive and offensive posture.
Compared to Zhuo Ning's passive defense, the attacking Immortal Emperor consumed several times more of the National Fortune's fortune.
If Zhuo Ning continues to hide like this...
Their situation will only become more difficult.
On the contrary, Zhuo Ning's situation will become increasingly clear.
This is something none of the four Immortal Emperor wanted to see.
The four Immortal Emperors who were in pursuit exchanged glances and actually stopped their pursuit, watching Zhuo Ning from a distance.
Zhuo Ning understood; it seemed the others had also grasped the situation between the two sides.
That's why we stopped in time, thus avoiding playing a late-game game with Zhuo Ning.
But deep down, Zhuo Ning didn't really want it to be like that.
After all, this battle was a decisive one that would determine the National Fortune of the Human Clan and its unification.
To become the Common Sovereign of the Human Clan, Zhuo Ning needs more than just military force; he also needs to win the hearts and minds of the people.
If they were to win through a war of attrition, they could comfort themselves with the saying "all's fair in war," but the Immortal Emperor would inevitably feel resentful.
Even if the five kingdoms were to be unified by force, there would inevitably be unnecessary setbacks along the way.
This is not Zhuo Ning wants to see; he wants to walk the path of a king!
A righteous and honorable path to becoming a king.
Thinking of this, Zhuo Ning stopped dodging and looked at the other four Immortal Emperors from afar.
"What? Our future Common Sovereign of the Human Clan is finally not hiding anymore?"
Hearing the sharpness in the Great Qian Immortal Emperor's words, a smile gradually appeared on Zhuo Ning's face.
"Great Qian Immortal Emperor, stop with the verbal sparring! Even if all four of you Immortal Emperor joined forces, you couldn't defeat me, yet you dare to mock me?"
Zhuo Ning's words made the several Immortal Emperor blush with embarrassment.
However, Zhuo Ning shook his head and continued, "Alas, well, this minor skill is ultimately beneath my notice! Gentlemen, I will defeat you fair and square!"
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the four Immortal Emperor immediately lit up.
In fact, all five people present understood.
The unification of the Human Clan is an inevitable trend. No matter how reluctant they are to give up their power, they can't fight city hall.
Compared to the crisis in the Cultivation Realm, immortal kingdoms, power, wealth, and strength are nothing but fleeting clouds.
Once the Heavenly Dog's attack arrives, all of this will be reduced to nothing.
But having already reached the finals, who would be willing to give up the throne that's so close at hand?
Rather than waiting to be killed, it is better to strike decisively.
The bold get rich, the timid starve.
If we don't take action, the probability of becoming the Common Sovereign of the Human Clan is zero.
Even if they take action, there's still a one-in-five chance, which is a huge hope for the Immortal Emperor.
Upon seeing Zhuo Ning utter such arrogant words, the Immortal Emperor exchanged glances once more.
Suddenly, the nation's National Fortune behind them shrank dramatically.
It was shrunk directly to the most suitable standard size.
The four Immortal Emperors, each wielding a sharp sword, a whisk, a pagoda, and a red lotus respectively, headed straight for Zhuo Ning.
Seeing this, Zhuo Ning followed suit.
The great sun behind them instantly shrank to the size of a pearl in the palm of one's hand.
Zhuo Ning, holding the beads, also leaped into the air.
He pushed out the pearl in his hand, meeting the objects thrown by the other four people.
At this moment, the five Immortal Emperor stood facing each other in the sky.
The five National Fortune treasures roared in the sky, their enormous sounds echoing throughout the entire Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom.
Despite being surrounded by the other four spiritual objects, the Bright Pearl of the Blazing Sun showed no signs of defeat.
Faced with the impact of the other four spiritual objects, it not only defended very well, but also managed to find gaps to launch a counterattack.
Almost every so often, one of the spirit creatures would be knocked away from the battle by the pearl, only to fly back and rejoin the fight.
The pearl, bathed in the Blazing Sun, fought with ever greater courage.
The expressions on the faces of the four Immortal Emperor grew increasingly grim.
Finally, the Hundred Alliances Immortal Emperor shook his head and reminded them, "Gentlemen, give it your all. No matter the outcome, treat it as a final gamble!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the other Immortal Emperor nodded in agreement.
The four spiritual objects surrounding the pearl in the sky vanished instantly, and then reappeared in the hands of their original owners.
Looking at the National Fortune artifact in his hand, which was no longer as dazzling.
With a gentle toss, the spiritual objects in the hands of the several Immortal Emperor returned to their original size.
At the same time, the voices of their respective Immortal Emperor were heard in the ears of all the people in the four immortal kingdoms.
"Citizens of the Great Qian Dynasty! Gather the National Fortune!"
"Crimson-red subjects! Gather the National Fortune!"
"All citizens of the Hundred Alliances! Gather the National Fortune!"
"Unite the people and gather the National Fortune!"
Suddenly, the National Fortune artifact behind the four of them began to tremble violently.
In the void, a mysterious energy suddenly descended and rapidly poured into the four National Fortune artifacts.
As the four Immortal Emperor suddenly opened their eyes, the National Fortune behind them also trembled violently, generating a huge shockwave centered on the four of them, pointing directly at Zhuo Ning.
Seeing this situation, Zhuo Ning dared not be careless and exerted all his strength to activate the National Fortune Great Sun to resist.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, the National Fortune Great Sun, along with Zhuo Ning, vanished from the sky above the Blazing Sun Immortal Dynasty under the impact of the shockwave.
