Mid-February, year 357 of the Great Han.
In the western Immortal Realm, at Undying Mountain, Grand Preceptor Guan Zhong of the Great Han Celestial Court, holding the Golden Platform Atlas, descended. As the atlas opened and the Golden Platform appeared, the founder of Undying Mountain, an Undying Immortal Emperor who controlled sixty-five Emperor's Fates, perished like an ant!
Four Immortals Emperors, dispatched by the four great forces, fell in chaos. The Golden Platform's gaze then turned, entering the Ancient Star Road, heavily wounding the supreme giant of the Nine Nether Phoenix tribe—Xuan You Immortal Emperor. The three great forces were shocked!
End of February, year 357 of the Great Han.
The Great Han Celestial Court's Gluttonous Army Corps occupied ten territories of Undying Mountain. Undying Mountain, the second most powerful force in the western Immortal Realm, collapsed instantly. Merely days after the demise of the Devouring Heaven Palace in the northern Immortal Realm, the Great Han Celestial Court once again annihilated an established force. The ten territories of Undying Mountain fell into the hands of the Great Han Celestial Court. The Gluttonous Army Corps stationed there, and the ten territories were unified and divided into prefectures, bestowed the name Lanzhou by Yang Hao!
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for destroying Undying Mountain and controlling ten territories!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining nine thousand Dao of Fortune Merit points and three hundred billion Dao of Slaughter points!"
"Ding! Reminder to the Host: Half of the Fortune Merit points from the nation's supreme treasures, the Nine Cauldrons, Twelve Golden Men, the Immortal Dynasty Imperial Seal, the Emperor Venerable Immortal Tablet, and the Xuanyuan Sword, have been converted to suppress the Great Han Holy Court's national destiny!"
"Ding! Reminder to the Host: The Host's accumulated Fortune Merit points are seven hundred and eighty billion Dao, Slaughter points are seven hundred billion Dao, and Reincarnation Power is zero Dao!"
"System, use Fortune Merit points to condense Emperor's Fates!"
"Ding! Reminder to the Host: Six hundred billion Fortune Merit points have been successfully deducted to enhance the Host's realm!"
With a thunderous boom, a colossal tremor echoed across the entire Great Han territory. Boundless golden light scattered in all directions. A supreme Emperor's mark flowed and spread, covering the sky above the Great Han territories. An Immortal Emperor's golden body appeared in the void, with a supreme Emperor's seat supporting the awe-inspiring apparition. Above the firmament, myriad colors and streams of light unfurled an incredibly wide grand path. Rolling immortal energy surged from the end of this path, charging into the Immortal Emperor's golden body that materialized in the sky with an overwhelming, mountainous momentum. At this moment, twenty-four Emperor's Fates instantly appeared behind Yang Hao, roaring and absorbing the boundless immortal energy.
"Roar~~!"
The divine beasts guarding the four gates of the Imperial Palace rumbled, raising their heads and devouring the endless radiance. The Azure Bird Gate's guardians, the Eight Desolations, trembled violently. How long had it been? Had Emperor's Fates been condensed so easily? Suppressing this gate for only tens of days, the two divine beasts that had turned into stone sculptures once again condensed several ferocious and roaring Emperor's Fates.
He looked up at the Immortal Emperor's golden body seated on the Emperor's throne. That figure opened its mouth and let out a roar, and all the immortal energy was absorbed, continuously flowing in as if into a bottomless pit. No matter how much immortal energy, it could not break through that golden body apparition. Dong dong dong, ten earth-shattering roars! The twenty-four Emperor's Fates suspended behind Yang Hao surged to thirty-one!
Thirty-one!
This had entered the realm of Peerless Immortal Emperors!
Within Chang'an City, Zhang Sanfeng's Yin-Yang diagram flowed; in the western Immortal Realm's Qizhou, Yang Zaixing's blood essence surged; in the western Immortal Realm's Lanzhou, Pei Yuanqing's dual hammers cast a dark shadow... At this moment, all the summoned heroes rapidly advanced through four minor realms!

Chang'an City.
The Military Affairs Department.
"Heavenly Emperor!"
Guan Zhong bowed and rose, facing the ministers of the Military Affairs Department, pointing to the western Immortal Realm on the map. "With the annihilation of the Sun-Devouring Palace and Undying Mountain, our Great Han's military might is formidable, our reputation growing daily, and our power can suppress the world. I propose that the western, eastern, and northern Immortal Realms be our next targets. The north, being the weakest, should be the Great Han's first step in conquering the Immortal Realm!"
"Heavenly Emperor, all my ministers, please observe. In the western Immortal Realm, we still have the Golden Crow tribe and the Heavenly Demon Court. The Golden Crow Immortal Emperor controls sixty-seven Emperor's Fates, and the three Immortal Emperors of the Heavenly Demon Court all control over sixty Emperor's Fates each, being supreme Immortal Emperors. Especially Yuan Zu Immortal Emperor of the Heavenly Demon Court, who controls sixty-eight Emperor's Fates, second only to Cang Long Immortal Emperor, his position is firm and cannot be directly confronted. As for the eastern Immortal Realm, it goes without saying. Zhao Yao Palace, Tai Xu You Palace, and Fu Chen Mountain can only be dealt with when our Great Han becomes further strengthened."
"The northern Immortal Realm is different. The north still has the Thunder Dao Alliance, the Heavenly Gang Ancient Court, and the Hundred Refinement Heavenly Court—three major forces. Their overall strength is the weakest compared to the west and east. Furthermore, when Undying Mountain's Ten Thousand Corpses Immortal Emperor was plotting against our Great Han, the Heavenly Yuan Immortal Emperor of the Hundred Refinement Heavenly Court was sighted. Our Great Han's Vermilion Bird Army marched north and annihilated two Immortal Emperors of the Heavenly Gang Ancient Court. The Five Thunder Immortal Emperor of the Thunder Dao Alliance colluded with the Ten Thousand Corpses Immortal Emperor, which must have had the approval of the two emperors of the Thunder Dao Alliance!"
"Although the line of Five Thunder Immortal Emperor was annihilated, they still attempted to make peace with our Great Han, but there are still grievances. I believe that annihilating the three northern forces is key to the Great Han's strong development!"
"How do we annihilate them?"
Yang Hao spoke softly. Guan Zhong's words echoed his own thoughts. The Golden Platform had injured a giant, and the Great Han had touched upon the core interests of the four great forces. They must increase their strength rapidly and build a strong foundation.
"A Northern Alliance!" Guan Zhong said with a smile.
