Several Immortal Emperors marvelled at Zhang Xiaohu.
"This kid is truly remarkable, a genuine prodigy!"
"His ferocity is in no way inferior to Wang Teng's!"
"Wang Teng exposes his ferocity outwardly, but Zhang Xiaohu's is intrinsic; he's willing to fight desperately and dares to do so."
"Little Chu, when your Blue Star's battle concludes, send this kid to my side."
Empress Wanhua slammed the table, "Longxue, you shameless scoundrel! Zhang Xiaohu is the Saint Son of my Wanhua Palace. If you dare to poach him again, I'll get you!"
Chu Yang remained silent, but he was genuinely happy for Zhang Xiaohu.
He possessed an [Immortal Emperor Guaranteed Success Card]. If used on Zhang Xiaohu, it would affect the laws of causality, ensuring his success, whether now or in his future challenge against the tenth-level Nine Heavens Fiery Emperor.
However, Chu Yang chose not to use it. In his opinion, the most difficult person to achieve Immortal Emperor status was not Zhang Xiaohu, who had the worst aptitude, but Chen Xiaohan.
Chen Xiaohan, only at the Mahayana stage, was already a strategic weapon for humanity.
Once she ascended, wouldn't her venom make the eighth-level Sky-Slaying race cry out in agony?
If she were to become an Immortal Emperor, what then? As long as she appeared on the battlefield, every Supreme of the Sky-Slaying race would have to constantly worry about being poisoned.
Therefore, among this group, the [Immortal Emperor Guaranteed Success Card] would be most cost-effective if used on Chen Xiaohan. Besides Chen Xiaohan, there was also Boss Xue, Xue Qianwei. A Pill Emperor, though not high in combat power, could refine Emperor Pills, making her an extremely terrifying strategic reserve.
But Chu Yang felt that Boss Xue's chance of becoming a Pill Emperor was higher than Chen Xiaohan's chance of becoming a Venom Emperor.
Let's return to the current battle.
When Zhang Xiaohu cleared the challenge through a mutually destructive method, he was teleported outside.
At this moment, a red Dao Fruit appeared in his hand.
This was the Dao Fruit representing the [Sky-Burning Flame].
Zhang Xiaohu's eyes turned red. "I can finally... catch up to you!"
The Immortal-level Nine Heavens Fiery Emperor was truly powerful. This was merely a combat simulation. Zhang Xiaohu, relying on the advantage of the artifact spirit and immortal artifacts, had fought thirty-three times before eliminating him through mutual destruction.
The real combat power of the Nine Heavens Fiery Emperor was about twice as strong as this simulation.
To Zhang Xiaohu, that would be an impossible battle.
But it didn't matter; as long as he could obtain it.
Chu Yang's voice entered Zhang Xiaohu's mind, "Absorb it directly to inherit the Nine Heavens Fiery Emperor's Dao Fruit, and upon ascending to immortality, you will become a true immortal."
The existence of this Dao Fruit was time-limited, so Zhang Xiaohu did not dare to delay and absorbed it directly.
Zhang Xiaohu had consistently followed the growth trajectory of the Nine Heavens Fiery Emperor, so his compatibility with this Dao Fruit was almost one hundred percent.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the bells of the Great Dao rang out.
A golden great path appeared beneath Zhang Xiaohu's feet, leading to an ancient immortal gate at its end.
Chu Yang could help him dissolve the lightning tribulation, but he wouldn't. If Zhang Xiaohu couldn't even withstand this small tribulation, then, to put it bluntly, he wouldn't deserve to inherit the Nine Heavens Fiery Emperor's Dao Fruit.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and countless lightning bolts descended from the heavens, filling the entire immortal path.
The closer he got to the immortal gate, the more terrifying the lightning tribulation became.
Those watching the live broadcast, just seeing this lightning tribulation, felt their scalps tingle.
They had also experienced tribulations, but compared to this, theirs were like child's play. They couldn't imagine what it would be like to stand on the immortal path with this terrifying and majestic aura.
Everyone from the Ice Sword Mercenary Group cheered.
Shen Yingxue laughed heartily, "What did I say? This is definitely my Brother Hu taking it first! Those spirit stones you bet earlier, bring them over! No cheating allowed!"
Those who had bet on Liang Zifan winning looked helpless.
In truth, at their current realm, spirit stones were useless trinkets.
Betting spirit stones was purely for fun.
Luo Xiaowei sighed, holding his forehead, "This is unbelievable. That kid Zifan, he actually missed such a great opportunity just now!"
Shen Yingxue crossed her arms and said, "Even if he had passed, it wouldn't count; Brother Xian gave him a temporary cheat just now!"
The others cast knowing glances at Shen Yingxue and, with mutual understanding, said nothing.
"Ahem... Brother Hu is definitely going to make it. Look at that scoundrel Liang Zifan; if he makes a mistake like that again, I'll beat him up when he gets back!"
Yes, there was no reason for Zhang Xiaohu to fail to cross this immortal path.
Although the lightning tribulation was terrifying and dealt significant damage to Zhang Xiaohu, he still stumbled his way to the immortal gate.
The lightning tribulation abruptly ceased, and the next step was to open the immortal gate.
He placed his hand on the immortal gate, and the [Sky-Burning Flame] on his body ignited, veins bulging on his forehead.
"Open... for me!!"
"Creak..."
With all his might, Zhang Xiaohu pushed open the massive immortal gate.
He stepped through the gate, and the Dao Fruit he had just absorbed directly merged with his being.
In truth, after becoming an immortal, there was still a segment of Dao Rhyme bestowal.
Li Qingyun and the others needed to use lightning tribulations to kill enemies, so they didn't use them to benefit Blue Star.
At this moment, rings of Dao Rhyme radiated from the sky, enveloping everyone present.
Those who came to the Cultivation Era Plaza to watch the live broadcast felt it was a huge gain.
Of course, the greatest beneficiaries were those who cultivated fire-attribute techniques. At this moment, they suddenly gained a deeper understanding of fire elements.
Instantly, spiritual energy poured in from all directions. Many cultivators practicing fire-attribute techniques had sudden epiphanies and advanced.
The other cultivators gritted their teeth. "Damn it! I'm wood-attribute; why didn't Li Qingyun ascend on Blue Star,呜呜呜..."
"Stop talking, my Body Cultivator Brother didn't get the Dao Rhyme bestowal from Big Teng Brother either!"
"Haha! Fellow lightning cultivators, when Liang Zifan ascends later, we'll be in for a treat!"
"Wonderful, wonderful! We lightning cultivators have a spring too!"
"......"
At this time, everyone's gaze shifted to the big screen.
After Zhang Xiaohu's success, Liang Zifan could finally have the big screen to himself.
Liang Zifan wasn't foolish; being a comedian once was enough, twice and he'd truly become a joke.
So this time, he was extremely serious. After the Fury Thunder Vajra attacked once, he didn't choose to attack again. Instead, he directly threw out the [Soul Severing Blade] in his hand to withstand the subsequent damage, while he himself retreated directly.
As the Nine Tribulations Thunder Emperor unleashed his lightning explosion, he pressed his hands down!
"Raging Thunder Splits the Sky!"
Endless lightning swallowed both him and the Nine Tribulations Thunder Emperor...
