This was also to prevent any dissent from the beings in the Immortal Realm under his control. After all, the Origin Tower's energy was too immense. Each awakening would cause a complete reshuffling of the top powers in the Immortal Realm, leading to the demise of powerful Immortal Emperors and a long period of stagnation for all beings in the Immortal Realm, preventing them from breaking free from their fate.
Now that he had awakened, as was customary, he was about to select new dominant races within the Immortal Realm to continue his rule.
However, the first thing he saw upon opening his eyes was the unusual state of the Origin Tower. The core of everything in this world seemed to be lacking the power that once bound the Immortal Realm. Su Dan Novel Network.
"Great Han Heavenly Court?"
Old Ancestor Huang Yuan glanced at the strange Origin Tower, his eyes filled with greed. What kind of power had created such astonishing might? It was too powerful. He could feel that by controlling the Origin Tower before him, he could completely achieve transcendence.
"After being suppressed for so many years, a variable has finally emerged!" Old Ancestor Huang Yuan's expression turned ferocious. He would never allow another prodigy like himself to emerge from the Immortal Realm, coveting the Origin Tower before him. His plans spanning ancient eons could not be foiled. He felt that it would not be long before he could completely control the Origin Tower, the source of everything here, and step into the realm of transcendence!
"The Immortal Realm cannot escape my control. Without the Immortal Realm, the Origin Tower's energy will be diminished. Go, imprint a being from the Creation Era from the Origin Monument and destroy the Great Han!"
"My soul is unstable and I must enter another brief slumber. You three must properly manage everything at Burial Emperor Mountain. Do not make any mistakes, or else..."
"Yes!"
"Master, rest assured!"
The three elders bowed hurriedly. When they looked up, Old Ancestor Huang Yuan had already closed his eyes and entered his slumber, his form beginning to blur.
"Let's go!" Elder Xian glanced at the elders and then rose to walk outside. Before long, the three of them had arrived at the main hall of Burial Emperor Mountain.
"Master's intentions are clear. Elder Xian, which one do you intend to imprint to go and destroy the Great Han?" Elder Ming's voice was hoarse.
"What do you think?" Elder Xian looked at Elder Ming. Among the three of them, Elder Ming was the most decisive in his actions. Old Ancestor Huang Yuan had seen this very quality when he took Elder Ming in and nurtured him.
"Imprinting is one thing, but it cannot quell the hatred in our hearts. For how many years has there been a being in the Immortal Realm who dared to disrespect our Emperor Ruins so greatly, to defy our decrees, and to kill Lord Luo? This is naked humiliation!"
"In my opinion, with the imprint as the core, we should mobilize the Immortal Emperor legions and sweep through the Immortal Realm. The Origin Tower's tremors are becoming more frequent. This matter cannot be delayed. We must not hinder Master's great undertaking!"
"Elder Ming speaks the truth!" Elder Huang nodded and said, "The situation is urgent. The Great Han Heavenly Court possesses profound foundations, not comparable to ordinary races and powers in the Immortal Realm. To ensure victory, we must strike with lethal force! The current glory of the Great Han Heavenly Court is, in the end, also a responsibility of the three of us."
"Indeed!"
"You are both right. This variable, the Great Han Heavenly Court, must be eliminated in one blow. Although, from a temporal perspective, it is time for a reshuffle of all regions in the Immortal Realm, with the Great Han taking action, they have helped us deal with quite a bit. Let us follow Elder Ming's suggestion and mobilize the Immortal Emperor legions to sweep through the Great Han Heavenly Court!"
"Let's go! Follow me to the Origin Monument to imprint!" Elder Xian waved his hand, and the three of them arrived before a stone tablet. The energy here was identical to that of the Origin Tower. As Elder Xian unleashed his divine abilities, a golden figure entered his palm.
"Which one from the Creation Era is it?" Elder Huang asked anxiously.
"Misty."
Elder Xian opened his palm. A figure appeared, as ethereal as clouds and mist, flickering in and out of sight.
Ancestor Misty!
One of the eleven most powerful beings at the Ancestor level from the Creation Era!
Later, after Old Ancestor Huang Yuan coveted the Origin Tower and gained power, the Creation Era became twelve great Ancestors!
"Half-step transcendence! When Master returned to the Immortal Realm, he expended considerable effort fighting Ancestor Misty!" Elder Ming said softly. All twelve beings at the Ancestor level from the Creation Era were half-step transcendent, yet none had stepped into the realm of transcendence. A sense of something inexplicable was missing. It was only after Old Ancestor Huang Yuan discovered the Origin Tower that he understood. To step into the realm of transcendence, one must control the Origin Tower.
"The imprint is complete. Sweep through the Great Han!"
...
"Heavenly Emperor, the Chaos Demon Ape urgently reports that he has discovered over a hundred Immortal Emperors from the Emperor Ruins moving within the ancient star path, leaving the Emperor Ruins and heading directly for the spatial gap!" In the Xuanzheng Hall of Great Han's Chang'an City, Jia Xu said with a grave expression.
"Are they planning to annihilate the Great Han?"
Yang Hao's gaze became serious. All Immortal Emperors who perished in the Immortal Realm could reappear in the Emperor Ruins in a special form, like puppets. No matter how they were destroyed, they could return in their peak state. Offensive techniques were utterly useless against these fallen Immortal Emperors. A method must be found to completely annihilate them, so that they could not re-form within the Emperor Ruins after their demise!
"What exactly exists within the Emperor Ruins that allows these Immortal Emperors to be reborn endlessly after their deaths?"
Yang Hao murmured softly. From the words of the Chaos Demon Ape, he learned that the Emperor Ruins had existed at least before the Immortal Ancient Era. What beings guarded it? What were they concealing?
"Unveil it. I, the Emperor, wish to see what immense power lies deep within the Emperor Ruins!"
At this moment, Yang Hao stood up, a battle intent igniting in his eyes. This battle was inevitable. No one could stop the Great Han Heavenly Court's progress. What he intended to do was to unify everything in this era, and he would not allow any hidden dangers to exist!
"Issue an imperial decree. Summon all civil and military officials to the hall for an audience!"
Dozens of breaths later.
The Imperial Palace, Xuanzheng Hall.
"Your subject pays his respects to the Heavenly Emperor!"
"Your subject pays his respects to the Heavenly Emperor!"
"Your subject pays his respects to the Heavenly Emperor!"
"Rise!"
"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor!"
"Within the Emperor Ruins, there are Immortal Emperor legions rampaging, their forces pointed directly at our Great Han Heavenly Court! This battle will be our Great Han's formal declaration of war against that mysterious power. Fight them! Annihilate all invaders! I want to see what extraordinary existence lies deep within the Emperor Ruins!"
"Li Jing, where is he!"
"Your subject is here!"
Li Jing stepped forward and bowed respectfully. He exuded a powerful battle intent. Since his emergence, he had not yet fought, nor had he earned any military achievements. Standing in this hall, he felt unstable!
"You will temporarily command the Emperor Slaying Army and intercept the Emperor Ruins' Immortal Emperor legions in the spatial gap!" Yang Hao's voice boomed like thunder, possessing unparalleled majesty.
"Your subject obeys the imperial edict!"
Li Jing bowed. The Emperor Slaying Army was comprised of those who had emerged and attained their Dao, a force of immense power. This army would be the zenith of Great Han's military strength, the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm!
"Zhang Liang will serve as the military advisor for the Emperor Slaying Army and accompany the troops into battle."
