"Let's go. After we leave, Xu Chu will report to His Majesty and have your physical body remade!"
Having stepped into the Venerable realm, Xu Chu's physique was slightly more robust than before. His armor flowed with wisps of crimson vital energy. With every move, he controlled the grand formation that maintained the secret treasure.
"Good!"
Emperor Wu smiled with satisfaction. Looking at Xu Chu, he seemed to see the future of the human race. The five suns plotting in the Savage Realm had led to his own decline, causing him to seal his primordial spirit. Now, with the four ancient wastelands coveting the human territory, Xu Chu's ascension to the Venerable realm would surely enable the human race to stand at the pinnacle of the Savage Realm, grow strong, and prosper, compensating for the losses he had caused.
Xu Chu smiled and extended his palm, directly grasping Emperor Wu's primordial spirit. He glanced back at the secret realm, then turned and walked out.
"We're out!"
Yuan Tiangang's complexion was pale. His eyes were fixed on the space where terrifying vital energy fluctuations were emanating. Alongside him, Qi Jiguang and Li Wenzhong had drawn their weapons.
"Hahaha!"
"What is that?"
Qi Jiguang's eyes widened in surprise, finding it hard to believe as he looked at the robust figure.
"It's General Xu Chu!"
"It's General Xu Chu!"
The expressions of Qi Jiguang, Li Wenzhong, and Yuan Tiangang shifted from tension to surprise, and then to elation.
General Xu Chu had been missing for several years. At that time, the Imperial Dynasty's secret treasure had just opened, and the Great Han was merely a dynasty, having just been incorporated into the human territory. Now, it was one of the top forces in the Eastern Wilderness, controlling an entire realm.
"General Qi, General Li, Lord Yuan, I, Xu Chu, have returned!"
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"
"Oooong~~"
"Boom!"
Just a few breaths after Xu Chu stepped out of the secret treasure, the heavens and earth roared. Layers of golden sea clouds appeared in the highest heavens, stretching for ten thousand miles. The entire Holy Land was saturated with dense vital energy.
"Ding! The esteemed personage Xu Chu under the host has returned!"
"Ding! The esteemed personage Xu Chu has entered the Venerable realm!"
"Ding! As the host's cultivation level has advanced, it will now be linked to Xu Chu's cultivation level!"
"Ding! The system has begun its calculations!"
In the imperial palace of Chang'an City, Great Han, Yang Hao was summoning Yan Tiancheng and others who had returned from the Scarlet Night Imperial Dynasty, meticulously inquiring about the day's battle.
Suddenly, a torrent of information flooded his mind!
"Good!"
Yang Hao roared, unable to conceal his joy, leaving the officials in the hall bewildered.
Li Si cupped his hands: "Ao Qing's safe return is due to the Human Emperor's blessings, a fortune for the court!"
"Good!"
Yang Hao seemed not to hear Li Si's words. He roared again and suddenly stood up, imperial might surging, and dragon qi overflowing.
"Boom!"
A golden beam of light erupted from the ground, standing like a divine pillar in the far north. Vital energy poured in, continuously nourishing Xu Chu's physical body. Any latent issues caused by his previous breakthrough were now completely cleared.
The golden skeleton, attached to Xu Chu's body, pulsed with layers of radiance, sinking into the flesh and completely fusing with Xu Chu's bones.
"Roar!"
The roar of a tiger shook three thousand miles!
The wind howled, and layers of golden oceans, centered on the far north, expanded, covering the entire Savage Realm in moments.
Countless citizens of the Great Han looked up at the golden oceans in the nine heavens, their eyes wide with disbelief, as if the world itself was undergoing a transformation.
The golden oceans covered the entire Savage Realm without pause, spreading from all directions towards the entire Eastern Wilderness continent, and even the entire Cangyuan world.
Thunder rumbled, and golden tidal waves swept across the sky!
"Oooong~~"
Streams of seven-colored light, appearing from nowhere, numbered over a thousand. They pierced through the sky from various directions of the Cangyuan world, flowing and converging towards the far north of the Great Han Imperial Dynasty!
"Oooong~~"
In the Northern Region of the Cangyuan world, on Sky God Mountain, within a natural cave, lay two giant bloodwood trees. One was hollowed out, containing a physical body. The other was intact, with a faint aura emanating from within the bloodwood.
"Hmm?"
An ancient primordial spirit slowly materialized, its eyes deep, as if the layers of mountain bodies could not obstruct its vision. "Another top-tier Venerable has been born!"
In the Western Region of the Cangyuan world, at the Demonic Cloud Palace, a pair of dark, cavernous eyes appeared in the void. The moment countless demons saw these eyes, they all fell to their knees, their eyes tightly shut.
The eyes flickered as they looked towards the gathering point of the thousand streams of seven-colored light, a hint of surprise in their depths. "The Ten Thousand Beasts Realm of the Eastern Wilderness Continent?"
"Strange!"
The Blazing Cloud Cave was a newly risen power after the demons withdrew from the Eastern Wilderness Continent.
The eyes blurred.
"Interesting!"
In the Southern Region of the Cangyuan world, a burly man clad in armor, wielding a giant axe, looked towards the Eastern Wilderness Continent, his eyes filled with shifting emotions.
"Savage Emperor, it seems the opportunities of the past million years are about to arrive. The demons lie to the west; we cannot be careless!"
Beside him stood an aged figure with a white beard that trailed three feet long.
"Great Priest, rest assured, this time this Emperor is determined to obtain it. The demons are not a concern!"
At this moment, the top-tier Venerables of the Cangyuan world all stepped into the void, their gazes fixed on the convergence point of the seven-colored light. Their expressions varied, and their intentions were unclear.
"Ding! The host has advanced from the Heavenly Martial realm to the Top-Tier Nirvana realm, spanning six major realms. Xu Chu's cultivation level shall advance by twelve minor realms!"
"Ding! The esteemed personage Xu Chu's cultivation level is beginning to rise!"
"Ding! Given this world's low-tier plane, top-tier Venerables are already at the extreme. Only after the Supreme Hall appears and the higher plane is opened, and the origin is replenished, can further advancement occur!"
"Ding! Xu Chu's cultivation level will first advance by eight minor realms!"
"Ding! The esteemed personage Xu Chu's cultivation level has advanced, completely integrating the Great Emperor's skeleton, and stepping into the realm of a Half-Step Peerless Fierce General!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for summoning the esteemed personage Xu Chu, who has stepped into the Top-Tier Venerable realm!"
In the far north, the seven-colored light intermingling in the void slowly condensed into a massive character for "Sea." The flowing light spread out!
Under the watchful eyes of Qi Jiguang and the others, the massive seven-colored light, like a surging great river, poured into Xu Chu's physical body.
"This..."
"Where did Xu Chu get such an opportunity?"
"What is happening to the Savage Realm now?"
Emperor Wu's primordial spirit watched all this with disbelief. The terrifying vital energy continuously nourished Xu Chu's physical body, and even his weakened primordial spirit condensed and strengthened considerably. A few scattered streams of seven-colored light propelled Emperor Wu's cultivation to the Top-Tier Divine Nurturing realm.
Mere scattered residual energy had elevated him to the Top-Tier Divine Nurturing realm. One could imagine the terrifying power contained within the pure seven-colored light!
"Congratulations, General Xu Chu!"
Qi Jiguang, Li Wenzhong, and Yuan Tiangang bowed slightly to Xu Chu. With his reappearance, Xu Chu had immediately stepped into the Top-Tier Venerable realm.
With a strong practitioner at the Top-Tier Venerable realm, the Great Han Imperial Dynasty had truly established its footing.
