The clang of swords echoed, each strike shattering like glass against the Vermilion Bird armor.
"Such divine weaponry, able to condense a killing formation. This realm indeed piques my curiosity further!"
"Alas! You two, and all this sword energy, are but broken bricks and shattered tiles in my eyes!"
Guan Yu tilted his head slightly, his eyes narrowing. The Green Dragon Crescent Blade materialized before him, and instantly, the myriad sword energies before him began to tremble!
Elder Hu and his companion, wielding the Infinite Swords, saw the killing formation they had condensed halt its spin. Countless sword energies began to crumble, and the entire formation abruptly reversed. Elder Hu and his companion broke out in a cold sweat, desperately trying to regain control of the unruly formation!
Alas, no matter how hard they struggled, they could not command the Infinite Swords before them!
"Slash!"
The Green Dragon traversed the sky. Behind Guan Yu lay a world of crimson flames. The Vermilion Bird unfurled its wings, and the Green Dragon blade's light coursed through the heavens!
*Boom!*
The Infinite Swords before Elder Hu and his companion, amidst the Vermilion Bird's cry and the Green Dragon's blade light, lost their celestial energy and shattered. The sword energy formation dissolved into the void. With a single strike, it was as if the dragon-like blade energy before them had become eternal in the world!
"Go!"
Elder Hu, blood trickling from his lips and his face contorted in shock, grabbed the elder beside him and attempted to flee.
Guan Yu, who had unleashed the strike, held the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in one hand and stroked his beard with the other. He turned, his blade intent vibrating, and the crimson sea of flames split apart.
The retreating figures of Elder Hu and his companion suddenly disintegrated, their forms exploding into two clouds of blood mist that rained down upon the vast earth!
...
In the Xuanzheng Hall of the Imperial Palace in Chang'an City, within the Great Han Immortal Dynasty.
Yang Hao, clad in imperial robes and wearing a Pingtian Crown, sat serenely on the upper seat, observing the civil and military officials in the hall.
To the left of the hall stood Li Si, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui... and the newly emerged Xiao He, all with solemn expressions.
To the right of the hall stood Meng Tian, Dian Wei, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun... and the newly emerged Zhou Yu, along with a host of military officers in armor, all standing respectfully.
The Great Han Immortal Dynasty had ascended as a unified entity, establishing its foothold in the Immortal Realm. This was the first court assembly since the Great Han Immortal Dynasty's advancement.
"Your humble subjects pay their respects to the Imperial Venerable! May the Imperial Venerable live for ten thousand years, ten thousand years, and ten thousand times ten thousand years!"
"Your humble subjects pay their respects to the Imperial Venerable! May the Imperial Venerable live for ten thousand years, ten thousand years, and ten thousand times ten thousand years!"
"Your humble subjects pay their respects to the Imperial Venerable! May the Imperial Venerable live for ten thousand years, ten thousand years, and ten thousand times ten thousand years!"
The civil and military officials stepped forward, bowing respectfully.
"Arise!"
Yang Hao spoke, then instructed the system to begin purchasing blind boxes. The blind boxes had, after numerous expenditures by Yang Hao, reached a certain achievement and been upgraded to Epic Blind Boxes. Each Epic Blind Box required ten million points of Destiny Virtue.
Having just entered the Immortal Realm, Yang Hao wished to seize this auspicious occasion for a blind box purchase. This was, of course, his first time buying an Epic Blind Box.
"System, use the remaining Destiny Virtue points to purchase blind boxes!"
"Ding! Successfully deducted two hundred million Destiny Virtue points!"
"Ding! Obtained twenty Epic Blind Boxes!"
In the depths of Yang Hao's spiritual sea, twenty densely packed Epic Blind Boxes, glowing with an orange light, instantly appeared. The orange glow was incredibly brilliant, yet Yang Hao's heart bled. This single expenditure amounted to two hundred million Destiny Virtue points.
"Ding! Do you wish to open them?"
"Open!"
*Bang!*
First, ten Epic Blind Boxes were opened. Instantly, the orange light surged, and the ten blind boxes vanished before Yang Hao's eyes.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining, one hundred thousand sets of Yinglong legion armor, one hundred thousand Eastern Wu elite soldiers, one hundred thousand sets of Vermilion Bird legion armor, one hundred thousand sets of Yinglong legion armor, Spirit Materials (materials for refining ordinary Immortal Treasures), one hundred thousand sets of Yinglong legion armor, one chance to advance Alchemist grade, one hundred thousand sets of Kui Niu legion armor, Unblemished Water (can cleanse worldly dust and temper the physical body), ten ordinary Immortal Treasure warships (capable of navigating the boundary sea but not its depths; once away from the coast and into the hinterland, both ship and crew will perish), and one hundred thousand sets of Yinglong legion armor!"
"Hmm?"
"Yinglong legion armor?"
Yang Hao conjured a set of yellow Yinglong armor before him. Aside from the Yinglong carved on the armor and its color, it was no different from the other armor.
"Yinglong!" Yang Hao smiled slightly. Zhou Yu had just emerged, and he was planning to rebuild the Great Han navy. Previously, the Great Han navy had not engaged in major battles, at most patrolling the sea.
"Ten ordinary Immortal Treasure warships!" Yang Hao looked at the warships before him. He had learned from Guan Yu and the others that Immortal Treasures existed within the Immortal Realm, but what concerned him was how terrifying the boundary sea was. Ordinary Immortal Treasures could only navigate the shallow waters, and entering the depths would have dire consequences.
"An Alchemist's grade?" Yang Hao looked at a yellow talisman in his palm. It bore only a red silhouette of an Alchemist and nothing else.
"Ding! Reminder to host, Alchemists in the Immortal Realm are divided into three great ranks: Heaven, Earth, and Human. Human Alchemists can only refine elixirs for beings below True Immortals. Earth Alchemists can refine elixirs for beings above Immortals. As for Heaven Alchemists, they can refine elixirs for even higher realms. Furthermore, each of the Heaven, Earth, and Human Alchemist ranks is further divided into grades one to nine!"
"The host can use the Alchemist grade advancement opportunity to designate a Human Hero Alchemist to advance from Human grade to Earth Alchemist!"
"So that's how it is!" Yang Hao grasped the yellow talisman in his hand and immediately thought of Sun Simiao. He crushed the yellow talisman, and strands of golden light surged into Sun Simiao, who stood in the hall. Instantly, Sun Simiao's eyes blazed with multicolored flames.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host! Human Hero Sun Simiao has successfully advanced to Earth Alchemist Grade One! Reward: Human Hero Sun Simiao has advanced one major realm!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host! Human Hero Sun Simiao has successfully reached the eighth level of Creation Divine Venerable!"
"Open the remaining ten blind boxes!"
Yang Hao smiled. There was a time difference between the outside world and the Reincarnation Yellow Tower. The time taken to draw blind boxes in the outside world was less than one ten-millionth of a breath.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining, one hundred thousand sets of Yinglong legion armor, ten ordinary Immortal Treasure warships, ten ordinary Immortal Treasure warships, one hundred thousand sets of Yinglong legion armor, one Yinglong legion banner, one hundred thousand sets of Yinglong legion armor, Rejuvenation Pills (Earth grade elixir, grade one: can greatly replenish the immortal energy within a being's body and strengthen blood and qi), one hundred thousand sets of Yinglong legion armor, one chance to advance the battle weapons of all manifested Human Heroes to ordinary Immortal Treasures, and one hundred thousand sets of Yinglong legion armor!"
"Hahaha!!"
Looking at the items drawn this time, Yang Hao was overjoyed. The chance to advance the battle weapons of all manifested Human Heroes to ordinary Immortal Treasures was a significant solution to the current predicament. However, his expression immediately sank. Could Human Heroes who had not reached the True Immortal realm control ordinary Immortal Treasure weapons?
