Chapter 1847  Chapter 489: Sprint, Sprint! (Part 2)

The two exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat sullen at the bottom of their hearts.

Upon first arriving here, they felt quite self-confident, treating Li Hao, the Direct Disciple, with calm composure—neither overly humble nor arrogant. Although they addressed him as Senior Brother, it was due only to the hierarchy within the Sect, as they had already reached the Perfection of the Immortal King Realm, the pinnacle of the mortal world. Going further would mean stepping into the realm of Heavenly Emperors.

Apart from the Great Emperor, they no longer needed to look up to anyone. However, after the challenge, they realized that the True Realm Ten Thousand Races is full of talents, especially those of the larger clans who have reached the Perfection of the Immortal King Realm, who are extremely monstrous, with some already breaking through 100 layers!

Even though many failed at the 101st layer, they still managed to break through 100 layers, while both of them were stuck at the 99th layer and couldn’t even break through it!

Upon witnessing Li Hao’s performance, they realized that some differences are inevitably there.

Seeing their expressions, Li Hao turned back and saw their projections at the 98th layer, which surprised him.

Having reached the Perfection of the Immortal King Realm and being of the Extreme Dao lineage, although they did not receive the true inheritance like the No Fear Emperor Skill, there were other secret techniques of the Extreme Dao. Yet, why hadn’t they broken through their corresponding layers, or even reached the peak of those layers?

Noticing the change in Li Hao’s expression, the two felt even more embarrassed, having not felt such humiliation in years.

“Haotian!”

At that moment, a quiet voice called out.

Li Hao turned and saw two familiar figures, Luo Ningshuang and Su Wanyi.

“Hmm?”

“You are just at the First Level of the Immortal King Realm, how did you manage to reach the 43rd layer?”

Luo Ningshuang’s gaze was somewhat icy, hiding a sense of reluctance and a trace of anger, yet her expression was controlled and calm.

“Is there an inevitable causal relationship between these two?”

Li Hao asked back.

Luo Ningshuang was stumped. An inevitable relationship? Naturally, none exists; there is no rule stating how many layers the First Level of the Immortal King Realm must challenge.

But… could it be that their limit wasn’t the true capability of someone at the First Level of the Immortal King Realm, but rather this boy in front of her?

“Did you too awaken the Ancestor Emperor Power?”

Su Wanyi’s attitude was much better, asking full of doubt.

Li Hao shook his head, “No.”

“Without the Ancestor Emperor Power, how could you surpass us?” Luo Ningshuang asked unwillingly.

Seeing her attitude, Li Hao responded indifferently: “Without the Ancestor Emperor Power, can’t one ascend to the peak? Do not forget that even the Great Emperor started cultivating step by step from a mortal body!”

Luo Ningshuang was stunned, looking at the boy in front of her, suddenly feeling the world distancing from her. Only this boy stood clear before her, his bright eyes the ultimate presentation of something she seemed to see in him—and it wasn’t an Immortal King, but… a Young Emperor!

A Future Emperor poised to rise!

While Luo Ningshuang fell silent, Li Hao no longer paid her attention and instead looked around the Abyss elsewhere.

There were many people here, besides those from the same Primordial True Realm he was familiar with, there were also those cherished prodigies from the True Realm Ten Thousand Races.

Some of these prodigies had long studied in the Primordial True Realm, belonging to the previous class or the one before, having left the Primordial True Realm to return to their families for further cultivation.

After all, the core members of powerful races, having their family’s inheritance imprint, would not lack any resources for cultivation even within their clan compared to the Primordial True Realm.

Gazing around, Li Hao saw many Immortal Kings with lower cultivation levels but incredibly powerful auras, not weaker at all than the people around him like Luo Ningshuang.

This time’s True King selection indeed gathered the true prodigies. Those who came are not only prodigies but also powerful individuals capable of standing alone in battles, possessing fearsome combat capability.

While Li Hao was surveying them, many true prodigies from various great clans in the Abyss were also studying Li Hao and other Immortal Emperor Disciples from the Primordial True Realm.

The labels of Chaos, Original, and Dao Origin Immortal Emperors were extremely resonant; the bigger the clan, the more they understood the significance of these three Immortal Emperors, as there are differences even among Great Emperors at the pinnacle of Immortal Divinity.

The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor belongs to the particularly unique category among various Immortal Emperors.

The same goes for the Chaos Immortal Emperor.

The Original Immortal Emperor is rumored to be one of the most ancient Immortal Emperors, mastering countless Immortal Techniques and Secret Techniques. It is said that there isn’t an immortal technique unknown to the Original Immortal Emperor; the core secret arts of many large clans might have evolved from those originally passed down by him.

From this, one can imagine how high the status of these three Immortal Emperors is.

“Those are the two Direct Disciples under the Chaos Immortal Emperor? Awakened the Ancestor Emperor Power, indeed performing decently.”

“Humph, using the Ancestor Emperor Power, they couldn’t even break through the 40th layer; not as good as my sister back then.”

A young man snorted coldly. On his forehead was a mysterious black seal, extremely intricate, around which the laws of heaven and earth naturally drifted, drawn in by that seal.

Next to him was a girl clad in an ink-colored robe, covering her arms and legs, occasionally revealing her fair wrists like snow-white jade, her eyes tranquil like a starry river, containing threads of light.

“Those two, one from the Northern Domain’s Su Family and the other from the Western Regions’ Luo Family, are large families yet ranked beyond the thirties. How could they be compared?”

The girl spoke calmly, her tone simple, with neither belittlement nor contempt, but a gentle hint of criticism towards the young man beside her.

The young man thought for a moment and agreed, then looked towards another direction, saying, “It’s a pity that Di Wushe from the Emperor Clan hasn’t come. I heard he’s one of the leading figures among the Emperor Clan’s many Emperor’s Sons. Compared to this Emperor’s Son, I’m unsure who’s superior, being able to charge to the 62nd layer at the Third Level of Immortal King Realm, while you, my sister, at the Fifth Level, reached the 85th. The difference between the two isn’t small.”

“Perhaps, one will know after competing.’

The girl glanced at the Emperor Clan; in the crowd, surrounded by many at the Ninth Level of the Immortal King Realm, was a young figure with a straight stature, eyes both mellow and robust, emanating an aura fitting for a King whom you naturally believed in.

“There’s still time, as long as the outside lasts a millennium, you, my sister, and he will cultivate to the Perfection of the Immortal King Realm, and then you can compete on equal footing!”

The young man added, “Only then will there be a good opportunity for us of the Dao Clan to have a match against the Emperor Clan’s Emperor’s Son.”

The girl slightly nodded.

The Dao Clan ranks second among the True Realm Ten Thousand Races, just below the Heavenly Emperor Clan!

However, the gap between second and first is known worldwide; everyone knows the Emperor Clan, yet there’s considerably less talk of the Dao Clan—partly due to the Dao Clan’s low profile, and partly due to the overwhelming influence of the Emperor Clan.

“The three Saint Heirs from the Saint Clans have arrived; the first has already broken through 100 layers, reaching the 103rd! The other two have also broken through their corresponding layers. That third Saint Heir has the same cultivation level as you, my sister, though their layer count isn’t as high, only reaching the 82nd layer.

The young man’s gaze wandered; as a prodigy of the Dao Clan, they are solely concerned with the core descendants of the top ten clans, as they are the true competitors.

Beyond the top ten clans, rapid rise is rare, not only due to differences in bloodline but also in the deeper foundation of the families.

“Hmm.”

Dao Qingyin mildly nodded, glancing towards the direction of the Saint Clans. All three Saint Heirs had come and performed astonishingly, with an 82-layer performance still being very commendable.

However, she withheld some methods during this initial test, methods that even the Reincarnation Power could not restore if used.

“If cultivation here lasts a thousand years, this True King selection…”

Dao Qingyin’s eyes glistened with determination; she was unwilling to be merely a deputy. As the Dao Son of this generation of the Dao Clan, she bore their glory; aside from herself, the previous Dao Son had already reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm and thus did not come.

If she cannot become the True King, in this allied army, the Dao Clan will be commanded by other True Kings. Such a possibility is intolerable to her.

“It’s about to end; I wonder how the two Immortal Emperors will evaluate us.”

The young man beside her looked up, eyes full of curiosity.

He was at the Second Level of the Immortal King Realm, reaching the 41st layer.

Though not as monstrous as his sister, he felt he wasn’t that far behind those two who awakened the Ancestor Emperor Power.
