The Emperor's Peak
Zhan Ye, the descendant of Zhan Lang, the young master of Zhan Sect.
In the past, Dendi had four generals. Zhan Lang specialized in attacking and had learned all of Qin Hao's battle techniques. He was the most powerful of the four.
Since Zhan Ye was the descendant of Zhan Lang, there was no doubt about his talent.
But now, this junior had shouted at Dendi and claimed that he would compete with Qin Hao.
If he won, he would not serve Qin Hao as his master and would leave with his Sect. His words were extremely disrespectful.
Yun Ying Chang's expression was cold. She had come to the Southern Region to find the descendant of the Zhan Clan. After all these years, she knew that Zhan Ye was very capable. Of course, he was also very arrogant.
But no matter what, he should not have provoked Qin Hao verbally. This was disgraceful.
Qi Xiaogua and the others couldn't help but feel angry. Even though Yun Yingshang didn't explain Zhan Ye's identity to them, they could tell that these sabersmen were good friends, not enemies.
But Zhan Ye's words provoked Qin Hao and questioned the ability of the leader of the Grand Alliance. This was unacceptable.
In the hearts of Tsiogua and Ye Shuihan, in terms of talent, no one could compare to their boss.
Qin Hao looked at Zhan Ye indifferently. He smelled a trace of Zhan Lang's temper from him. It seemed that he was also someone who needed to be taught a lesson.
Standing up silently, Qin Hao ignored him and stepped forward, toward the upper-level Emperor area.
If he won, he would lose face, but if he lost, he could not afford to lose face. Qin Hao preferred to use actions to prove himself.
Talent?
Sure.
He just did not know if Zhan Ye would be so ashamed when Dendi showed off his talent and how he would face those disrespectful words.
"I liked you before, but now you give me a terrible impression." Tsiogua snorted coldly and chased after him.
"Compete with him in terms of talent?
Kid, even I have to admit your courage. Of course, it's just that your courage is commendable. "
Zhou Wudao smiled. He was used to being suppressed by Qin Hao. Occasionally, seeing Qin Hao suppress others seemed to be a different kind of fun.
"Brother who plays with swords, I've never seen a man cry in my life. I hope you can control yourself later." Shou Wuque looked at Zhan Ye sympathetically and stood up to leave.
During the debate in Golden Light City, Qin Hao's Pill Dao, Sword Arts, Body Refinement, Flame Control, and even Concept Engraving were all exquisite and profound, causing people to exclaim in admiration.
He had single-handedly defeated the combined forces of the three geniuses. Changhe Lo had no way of defending himself. The onlookers' blood was boiling.
At first, no one believed him when he claimed to be able to suppress a generation in the Southern Region. Many of the famous Martial Emperors in the Southern Region laughed it off.
However, the final result left everyone speechless and ashamed.
In front of Qin Hao, there was really no one in the Southern Region.
At that time, Shou Wuque was shocked and nodded in agreement. In his opinion, Qin Hao was fully worthy of the title of "suppressing a generation in the Southern Region." After all, even Shou Wuque couldn't gather so many unique skills and use them to his heart's content like Qin Hao.
The funny thing was that today, someone actually stood up and questioned Qin Hao's ability. Was he going to put his face on the table and let others beat him?
"Humph!"
Ye Shuihan only snorted. Boss went to challenge the Upper Emperor area. It was meaningless for them to stay here. At most, they could comprehend some wonderful skills. It was better to be straightforward and accompany Qin Hao to sweep the statues and conquer the last one.
For a time, everyone left, including Zhan Ye. Since they had issued the challenge, they couldn't back down. No matter who won or lost, there had to be a result.
"Let's go."
Lei Jiao followed with the two from the Hall of Judgment. After estimating the time, the Divine Palace assessment was coming. It was time to go to the end of the ruins.
Moreover, if there really was an imperial statue, then not only Qin Hao and Zhan Ye, but at least Lei Jiao wouldn't give it up. He would fight for it.
As soon as Lei Chuan and the others left, the three women of the Shuiyao Holy Kingdom and the people of the Jueying Sword Palace immediately followed.
Obtaining the imperial will meant obtaining the inheritance. Why did they want to participate in the Divine Palace?
Why did they want to kill Qin Hao at Yunmeng Mountain?
Wasn't it to cultivate to become a Nine-star Great Emperor?
If there was an opportunity, they couldn't miss it.
Suddenly, Qin Hao walked alone, and all the cultivators behind him followed. Those with outstanding talents all wanted to see what was at the end of the relic.
However, there were still a large number of cultivators who were stuck below the Middle Emperor area. They could only watch the departing group and sigh unwillingly.
After all, there were only a few people as strong as Lei Jiao.
Most warriors, even if they wanted to compete, didn't have the ability.
As they moved forward, there was an incomparably bright light ahead. The closer they got, the heavier the pressure became.
Just as Shou Wuque said, there were no longer sword, fire, or ice attributes in front of them. It was as if everything had returned to chaos. There was only the purest suppression of telekinesis. The more intense the resistance, the stronger the pressure.
But if they didn't increase their strength, they couldn't take a single step forward. It was as if a dead knot had formed.
Withstanding the enormous pressure, the geniuses of the highest level among the tens of thousands of participants finally arrived at the Upper Emperor area.
They seemed to have walked a long way. There were no longer any statues along the way. Not a single one. The sides of the road were empty.
And in front of them, ten statues stood. They weren't tall, only three or four meters tall. There was a sharp contrast with the huge statues from before that were hundreds of feet tall.
Strangely, the geniuses felt an incomparable pressure from these ten statues. Every time their feet landed, it was as if their whole legs were going to sink into the ground, as if they were carrying a heavy mountain.
"What a strong telekinesis suppression." Shou Wuque raised his head and gritted his teeth. Sweat dripped down his cheeks.
Everyone around was the same.
At this time, there weren't many warriors who had reached this place. The weakest were Lei Jiao's fellow disciples.
The five warriors of the Zheng Clan, along with Ye Yao's junior sister, were all stuck halfway. They couldn't move an inch.
The crowd stared at the statues in front of them. These ten statues were all emitting an incomparably powerful pressure. Their nobility and majesty made it difficult for the crowd to look straight at them. It was as though each and every one of them was an emperor among humans, an existence that was second only to emperors.
Everyone knew very well that the seniors who had left behind these ten statues must have reached the powerful half-step Yuan Emperor level. They were like Duanmu Qinghui, who had comprehended the will of the Emperor and was only one step away from becoming an Emperor.
And the strongest cultivator present was only at the third level of the Emperor Realm, which was Zhou Wudao's realm. Zhou Wudao had advanced a level in the half a month since entering the ruins.
But facing the ten Human Emperor statues, when all ten of them released their telekinesis suppression at the same time, one could imagine how terrifying the power was to everyone.
Qin Hao stood quietly, seemingly unaffected by the pressure. His gaze followed the center of the path and looked to the end. There was an incomparably bright light shining at the end. Even with the Red Lotus Fire Eyes, it was difficult to see what it was.
But one thing was very clear. There was an extremely powerful will of the Emperor at the end of the light. This will was far stronger than Li Wanji and Ye Ninghong. It was about the same as Ning Cangsong's, which meant that it had entered the second level of the Emperor Realm.
"Not simple indeed."
Qin Hao said. In his position, entering the second level of the Emperor Realm was nothing. After all, Qin Hao had entered the third level and touched the threshold of the fourth level in his previous life.
But thinking about it from another perspective, how many of Zhou Wudao's group had seen the power of the second level of the Emperor Realm?
That power was undoubtedly destructive to everyone.
"I thought I was one step ahead. I didn't expect you all to be here as well." A familiar voice rang out. Then, Changhe Lo stepped into the field.
There were only a few members of the Xuanyuan Clan behind him. Among them were Xuanyuan Pingzhi and Xuanyuan Di, as well as two Ghost Wilderness cultivators. However, there were only seven people in total. It was difficult to compare with Qin Hao's group.
At this moment, Changhe Lo and the others were very cautious and put some distance between themselves and Qin Hao.
After all, they no longer had the advantage in numbers.
If Qin Hao suddenly attacked, it would be very dangerous.
However, Changhe Lo wasn't the only one here. Qingzhi Han, Ning Tianxing, Mo Xian, and the three Demon Generals also stood in the crowd.
At this moment, it could be said that all the top geniuses of the continent had gathered here. Anyone who was qualified to face the pressure of the ten Renhuang statues was a monstrous existence.
Qin Hao glanced at Mo Xian and saw the intense hatred in the three Demon Generals' eyes. He withdrew his gaze and didn't respond to Changhe Lo's words. Of course, he also knew that it was not convenient to attack at this time.
Feeling that Qin Hao had restrained his killing intent, Changhe Lo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Immediately, the corners of his mouth rose again. He said, "These ruins are mysterious and unpredictable. I thought that after entering, there would be a level suppression. Lower Renhuang couldn't enter the middle Renhuang statue area. I didn't expect that as long as one's faith is strong enough and one's talent is strong enough, with the help of the statues' telekinesis, one can break through one's own limits and comprehend the essence of martial arts at a higher level.
Everyone had a deep understanding of these words.
At first, Qin Hao also thought that the Venerables couldn't pass through the Renhuang statue area. However, reality proved that as long as one's talent was high enough, there was no level barrier. This world of statues was very tolerant and selfless. Warriors could even use the telekinesis of the lower Renhuang statues to challenge the middle Renhuang statues. It was as if they existed only to teach the younger generation.
"Now, do you want to see what's at the end of the ruins?" Changhe Lo smiled and glanced at the crowd.
If no one paid attention to him, it was tantamount to fart.
"I'll go first."
Xuanyuan Pingzhi couldn't wait any longer. He stepped forward and was the first to step on the path of the ten Renhuang statues.
Perhaps no one knew what was at the end of the ruins.
However, it was obvious that there was only one benefit at the end. Naturally, he had to make the first move.
Xuanyuan Pingzhi's talent was not outstanding among the crowd. It wasn't easy for him to get here. He had to seize the opportunity. Even if he knew that the pressure ahead was great, he had to try.
Otherwise, if Qin Hao, Lei Jiao, and the others attacked, he would have no chance.
Weng!
Stepping forward, Xuanyuan Pingzhi stepped on the middle of the path of the Renhuang statues. Suddenly, the scene changed. The path was filled with endless light, as if Xuanyuan Pingzhi had stepped into a terrifying Yuan Qi.
In an instant, an indescribable pressure enveloped him. One could see with the naked eye that Xuanyuan Pingzhi's body was distorted on the dazzling path. A painful groan came from his throat.
One step, two steps, three steps. Xuanyuan Pingzhi was careful and cautious. Every step he took seemed to be using all his strength.
When he took the third step, suddenly, a beam of light fell from the Renhuang statue at the front of the path. It shone on Xuanyuan Pingzhi's body. In an instant, he trembled as if he had been electrocuted. Following a hoarse roar, a faint yellow halo was emitted from his body. He had activated his Gravity Source Spirit to resist the pressure of the first Renhuang statue.
However, Xuanyuan Pingzhi had underestimated the power of the Emperor Realm. This power was very terrifying. In a single exchange, the faint yellow halo around his body was destroyed. His aura was extinguished. As if he had been struck by lightning, with a peng, he was sent flying and landed heavily on the ground.
Hiss!
Lei Jiao and the others sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Three steps, I actually …" Xuanyuan Pingzhi said in disbelief, as if he had suffered the greatest setback in his life. His face was filled with humiliation and shame.
Although his talent couldn't compare to Lei Jiao and Feng Qianli, he was still a first-rate genius of the Xuanyuan Family. When Xuanyuan Jie and Xuanyuan Feng were still alive, it was difficult for him to stand out. But now, he could be considered the most outstanding person in the Xuanyuan Family.
However, he couldn't even take three steps in front of the Renhuang statue. How great was this blow?
As Xuanyuan Pingzhi was sent flying, Xuanyuan Di and the others immediately retracted their impulse to try. After all, they weren't much stronger than Xuanyuan Pingzhi.
At the same time, many of the geniuses present had ugly expressions. They naturally understood that Xuanyuan Pingzhi had revealed his cultivation of the Emperor Realm. He had a Yuan Spirit, but he couldn't even take three steps.
With this as a reference, how many geniuses present could take three steps?
What about after three steps?
The path of light in front of them looked incomparably far, so far that it made them feel powerless.
