There was a kind of person in the world who usually kept a low profile, but when danger came, they would step forward and do what others could not do. They would turn the situation around with their own strength and create miracles for the world.
This kind of person was hailed as a "hero".
Now that the Zhu Clan was in danger, Vishnu Tien stepped forward and told Zhu Rong that he could defeat thousands of troops alone and would bring victory to the Zhu Clan. Without a doubt, he was the hero of the Zhu Clan.
"Thunder Seigneur."
Looking at the burly figure with the aura of a Celestial Emperor, Zhu Rong was so excited that tears streamed down his face.
Qin Hao and the other two pressured him so much that he couldn't raise his head. Who would have thought that Vishnu Tien, who was beside Zhu Rong, would be a cultivator who had stepped into the Celestial Emperor Realm?
There were only four Celestial Emperors in the entire Crimson Flame World.
The Crimson Flame Overlord, the Forefather of the Craftsmen, the Forefather of the Winged Clan, and Emperor Kua, who was supervising the battle today.
Now, the fifth Celestial Emperor had appeared in the Zhu Clan's camp. One could imagine how shocked the people were. Even Emperor Kua was moved.
"Vishnu Tien has entered the Celestial Emperor Realm. It is a great fortune for the Crimson Flame World," Emperor Kua said.
After this battle, the Thunder Seigneur would definitely enter the Crimson Flame Palace and become the Overlord's subordinate.
"Hahaha, old man Li, did you see clearly? The Thunder Seigneur is a Celestial Emperor. It is a Celestial Emperor. Your Li Clan is finished."
The Zhu Clan's Clan Leader spat out saliva and stretched out his neck to roar, as if he wanted to vent all his resentment.
The Forefathers of the Craftsmen and Winged Clans looked at each other and sighed helplessly. They had been planning for this competition for a long time and thought that they had made sufficient preparations.
However, they couldn't resist the Zhu Clan's luck.
"Brother Qin."
"Brother Qin."
Others cared about the outcome of the competition. Tang Jingxue and Tang Jingxuan cared about Qin Hao's life and death. No matter how strong Qin Hao was, he was no match for a Celestial Emperor. This was the suppression of realms.
"Are you afraid?"
Vishnu Tien looked down at Qin Hao with a cold expression, as though he was looking at an ant.
On the other side of the stage, Li Fen clutched his chest, unable to say a single word. The entire Li Tribe's VIP seats were ashen.
However, no one noticed that under Ye Shuihan and Little Nine's calm expressions, they seemed to be stifling their laughter.
"Scared?
No. "
Qin Hao remained unperturbed.
Lightning Seigneur had just broken through to the first level of the Immortal Emperor Realm. If he released the aura of a fifth level Immortal Emperor, how would the world react?
Would Emperor Kua be so shocked that he would jump off the platform and call Qin Hao his brother?
In truth, Qin Hao really wanted to show everyone his full strength and ask the Lightning Seigneur, "Are you afraid?"
"Pretending to be calm won't change the outcome. The three of you are so arrogant that you made Zhu Rong lose face. In this battle, I will destroy your cultivation to vent his anger."
Vishnu Tien said. His Emperor Realm spiritual power merged with the lightning, and the purple lightning around him suddenly turned into golden lightning.
"Thank you, Lightning Seigneur. In this life, I, Zhu Rong, will remember your kindness."
Zhu Rong let out a long howl, and his dispirited look disappeared. He once again put on his cold expression, and he was even more confident than before.
"Destroy my cultivation? You can try."
Qin Hao flicked his sword finger and pointed it at Vishnu Tien. The space around him was filled with sparks. The color of the sparks became deeper and deeper, like beads of blood rising into the sky.
After becoming a Celestial Emperor, one could borrow the momentum of heaven and earth. Even the lowest Celestial Emperor could have a preliminary understanding of it. It was just that the strength of the borrowing was different. Vishnu Tien's soul power was extremely strong. Qin Hao naturally wouldn't be conceited enough to fight him in his normal state. He had to use at least a bit of his soul power.
"Thunder Emperor, do it."
Zhu Rong shouted coldly. At this time, he also changed the way he addressed Vishnu Tien to "Thunder Emperor."
In an instant, Vishnu Tien charged at Qin Hao. Lightning spells blasted out from his fists. They were like lightning pythons. The momentum was shocking. He wanted to blast Qin Hao into a corpse.
Qin Hao used the Water Wind Step. His movements were ethereal. He moved forward instead of retreating. He passed through the layers of lightning pythons and threw a punch at Vishnu Tien. Suddenly, a vast flame burned forward.
"You're overestimating yourself."
Thunder Reverend disdained. He threw out a punch at the same time. The two fists collided. The sea of lightning spread out. The flames danced wildly. The terrifying power of lightning and fire exploded, shaking the Dao Platform.
The people of the three clans on the platform dodged at the same time and took the initiative to retreat.
Too strong.
The power of an Celestial Emperor expert wasn't something they could withstand.
However, Qin Hao seemed to be equally strong. He was actually able to withstand Sky Burying Thunder Sovereign in the form of an Immortal Venerable.
The two of them were entangled in the battle. Their attacks landed on each other continuously. Qin Hao deliberately suppressed his strength and took the initiative to withstand Vishnu Tien's attacks. Since it was a trial, he naturally had to cherish any opportunity to hone himself. Powerful lightning energy surged into his body, numbing his nerves and limbs. Under the stimulation of lightning, Qin Hao's blood boiled more intensely than before.
However, his physical body was extremely strong. Even if he suppressed his cultivation level, it couldn't change the strength of his body. Qin Hao had the body of a half-god. Even though Vishnu Tien's attacks were fierce, they couldn't break through his defense. The lightning energy that surged into his body was like tickling him.
Bang!
The two of them fought each other with their fists, and both of them took hundreds of punches from the other. Qin Hao was unharmed, but Thunder Burier of Heaven's aura was fluctuating violently. Countless black fist marks were left all over his body, and each of them was filled with the smell of roasted meat.
Then, the two of them clasped each other's arms at the same time, forming a fighting stance.
"Are you a monster?"
Vishnu Tien said in a hoarse voice. He no longer had the confidence he had before. The pain all over his body told him that even if Qin Hao wasn't an Immortal Emperor, he still had the ability to defeat him.
Qin Hao sneered calmly. He stomped on the ground and leaped into the air. He grabbed Lightning Seigneur's arms like an eagle grabbing its prey and threw him towards the center of the platform.
Just as Lightning Seigneur was falling, Qin Hao's fingertip shot out a sharp Sword Qi that pierced through the void and pierced towards Lightning Seigneur.
"I …" Boom! Crack! A loud sound was heard.
Before Lightning Seigneur could finish his words, he quickly formed a lightning net and barely blocked the incoming Sword Qi. Just as the lightning net was about to break, he was shocked to see Qin Hao in the air with his palms raised. A wildly expanding fireball grew bigger and bigger, like a sun in the sky, exuding a destructive power.
"Red Lotus Whirling Sky Slash."
Qin Hao sneered. His right palm chopped down, and the fireball landed in the middle of the platform. The Earth Qi it released caused the ground to crack, and the platform to sink.
"Rage of the Thunder Dragon."
Vishnu Tien's veins bulged all over his body. His pants were torn by his muscles. He roared as if he had turned into a Thunder God. Endless thunder swam around the platform. His palms pushed out a huge dragon shadow formed by thunder and lightning. The dragon shadow roared and crashed into the fireball.
Boom!
The void trembled as the Thunder Dragon pierced through the fireball and exploded. The Thunder Dragon disappeared, but then, the shadow of a Fire Dragon flew out from the scattered flames in the sky. It roared and fell on the platform, landing heavily on Thunder Lord Zangtian's chest.
Ugh!
Vishnu Tien spat out a mouthful of blood. He stumbled back until he reached the edge of the platform. He almost fell.
"Lightning Seigneur."
Zhu Rong was shocked. Lightning Seigneur had stepped into the Celestial Emperor Plane, but he was gradually losing to Qin Hao. How strong was this person?
At this time, everyone present was shocked, including the four clan leaders and Emperor Kua. They wondered if Qin Hao was also a Celestial Emperor. If not, how could his combat strength be so amazing?
"It's not over yet."
Vishnu Tien wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His eyes were furious. This was the first battle he had fought with all his strength after stepping into the Celestial Emperor Plane. He was ready to sacrifice Qin Hao to the heavens. He couldn't lose to his opponent.
A wild roar resounded through heaven and earth. Vishnu Tien opened his arms. His will merged into the space of Yu Yang Training Ground. It was as if the power of heaven and earth was under his control. Thunder rumbled above the void. Countless electric nets flashed. Thunder fell and gathered into Vishnu Tien's body. His aura began to rise for the second time.
"So strong. He has just stepped into the Celestial Emperor Plane, but his power is comparable to a third-tier Celestial Emperor."
Emperor Kua felt the raging power in the space. It made him feel threatened.
He stared at Vishnu Tien. He was indeed a remarkable figure. If they were at the same level, he might not be a match for the Thunder Lord.
Thinking of this, Emperor Kua looked at Qin Hao in the void. This man had the appearance of a celestial saint. Although he was also very strong, the strength shown by Ye Shuihan before was far inferior to this flame cultivator.
Emperor Kua couldn't figure out how a Celestial Lord could be a match for a lower-level Celestial Emperor. However, there was still a gap between the levels. The real terror of the Emperor Plane was that he could control the momentum of heaven and earth.
Next, it was time for Qin Hao to leave.
"Seeing that he is also a talent, I will act to protect his cultivation."
Emperor Kua cherished talent. It would be a pity if Qin Hao was destroyed by the Thunder Lord. It was more valuable to serve the Emperor.
At this moment, he silently ran his spiritual power, ready to block the Thunder Lord's killing move for Qin Hao.
However, the reality was not what he thought.
Just as the Thunder Seigneur was about to borrow the power of heaven and earth to destroy Qin Hao, a mighty sword might broke through the lightning net shackles in the sky. It was like a sword from beyond the heavens, descending towards the Dao Platform. At this moment, Qin Hao's silhouette could no longer be seen. His entire person transformed into a blood-colored sword qi, enveloped in demonic might, and rushed towards the Thunder Seigneur with unparalleled speed.
"What a joke! Stop!"
His will expanded, and the power of the forbidden space was released. Vishnu Tien clenched his hand in the void, and the boundless power of thunder imprisoned the blood-colored demonic sword. At this moment, this space was dominated by Vishnu Tien, and Qin Hao could not escape from his control.
However, a sharp whistling sound pierced through Senior Thunder Burier's confidence. He was horrified to see that the blood-red demonic sword had cut through the shackles of the void. The suppressive force between heaven and earth could not stop this sword at all.
Then … there was a pfft!
The blood-colored light penetrated Vishnu Tien's throat, and blood spurted out, shocking everyone present.
"How could this be?"
These words came to Vishnu Tien's mind. His burly body trembled violently, and the will that shrouded heaven and earth disappeared. The endless sea of thunder dispersed, and the sky returned to normal.
Vishnu Tien fell straight down, smashing heavily into the center of the platform. The sound of him falling to the ground seemed to have crushed Zhu Rong's heart.
"Stay your hand!"
Emperor Kua hurriedly shouted, but he was still a step too late.
"Are you afraid?"
Looking at Vishnu Tien, who fell to the ground, Qin Hao asked calmly.
At that moment, Vishnu Tien was not completely dead. However, the sword that went through his throat was wrapped in terrifying demonic fire power. Not only did it burn away his life force, but it also burned away his spiritual soul.
At the moment of his death, his eyes were filled with terror, as well as intense confusion. That was how he responded to Qin Hao's question. Was he afraid?
However, he did not have the chance to speak. As the wound continued to burn, only a human-shaped black residue was left on the platform. From then on, the name of Vishnu Tien would no longer exist in the Crimson Flame World.
It was understandable that he wanted to make a name for himself.
But in order to please Zhu Rong, he tried to cripple Qin Hao. He should have been prepared to pay the price.
Are you afraid?
Qin Hao was not only asking Vishnu Tien this question. He was also asking everyone present: the Workers, the Wings, Zhu Rong, the four clan leaders, and Emperor Kua.
Are you afraid?
As a Celestial Lord, he killed a cultivator who had just become a Celestial Emperor. Vishnu Tien wanted to make a name for himself, but unexpectedly, he became Qin Hao's foil, a stepping stone for his rise.
He only asked one question: are you afraid?
In the audience, Xing Feng trembled. As Vishnu Tien turned into nothingness, he gradually disappeared into the crowd without a sound.
