Chen Fan emerged from the Immortal Realm.
His foundation lay within the Immortal Realm.
The Immortal Realm was his root.
After leaving the Immortal Realm, he hadn't seen it for a long time, nor had he heard any news from it.
The Immortal Realm seemed to have… vanished into the chaos.
And today, he saw people from the Immortal Realm once again.
Wuji.
This enigmatic man had left a trail of legends and endless tales from the lower to the upper realms of the Immortal Realm.
That man had arrived.
He came with the four Heavenly Emperors, the strongest from the Immortal Realm, to aid in the battle.
Among the Five Great Heavenly Emperors of the past, the strongest, Emperor Huang, was casually slain by the Immortal Realm.
The remaining four Heavenly Emperors all submitted.
Black Emperor’s laughter boomed, “City Lord, we have come to assist in the battle.”
Those who cultivated the physical body were often unrestrained in personality.
Five individuals had arrived.
Not many, yet they carried the imposing aura of the Great Dao, rolling like dragons.
“Black Emperor.”
Seeing an old acquaintance again, even Chen Fan could barely suppress the smile on his face.
It had been so long.
So long since he had seen people from his homeland.
“Senior Black Emperor.”
Chen Fan cupped his fists, stepping forward to greet them.
However, after just a few steps, the smile on his face suddenly froze.
Shock replaced everything. “Great Emperor…”
His voice trembled.
The Great Emperor realm.
This Black Emperor had actually reached the Great Emperor realm.
His gaze swept over the others; they were all Great Emperors.
This meant that the Immortal Realm had sent five Great Emperors to assist in the battle this time.
“Hiss.”
The approaching Immortal Emperor and Old Demon Chu gasped.
The slowly dawning realization was almost unbelievable. “How is this possible…”
He, Old Demon Chu, had fought in the chaos until now without breaking through to the Great Emperor realm.
Immortal Emperor had indeed reached the Great Emperor realm, but the difficulty was unimaginable.
After toiling hard to enter the Great Emperor realm, his own kin… had nonchalantly achieved it.
Azure Emperor Ling Gan Yang, Black Emperor Ye Guang Ji, White Emperor Bai Zhao Ju, Scarlet Emperor Chi Biao Nu… four seventh-tier Great Emperors.
But what shocked Chen Fan the most was the Wuji senior before him, whose appearance he still couldn't discern.
“Eighth-tier.”
He sighed.
Eighth-tier.
Wuji possessed the strength of an eighth-tier.
“Senior.”
Facing this legendary figure, Chen Fan maintained ample respect.
Wuji nodded, and from behind the mist-shrouded face, a familiar voice emerged, “City Lord, long time no see.”
This time, Wuji did not confront him with his back.
The posture of his back could not conceal the perception of a seventh-tier Great Emperor.
Therefore, his back was replaced by the mist of the Great Dao.
“Long time no see.”
Chen Fan nodded seriously. It had indeed been a long time.
They hadn't seen each other for several years.
“Senior…”
At this moment, Chen Fan’s mind was filled with questions. “Your cultivation levels…”
He was too curious and blurted out the question subconsciously.
Wuji smiled calmly. “What’s wrong? If you can achieve the Great Emperor realm, can’t we?”
“That’s not what I meant.”
He knew Wuji understood what he was asking.
After a moment of thought, he said, “Never mind. Everyone has their own secrets.”
Perhaps not just these individuals, but the entire Immortal Realm held great secrets.
To this day, what Chen Fan was most curious about was Wuji’s appearance.
He had even asked the White Bone Forest about it.
After all, he had once been Wuji’s mount.
Who would have thought that even the White Bone Forest, as his mount, had never seen his face?
Old acquaintances who had fought side-by-side before, perhaps with some past grievances, but at this moment, both sides had let go.
“Thank you.”
Chen Fan clasped his fists.
This gratitude was sincere.
To choose to come and help at this juncture, he would remember this favor.
…
Boom.
The brief chat came to an end.
In the Scarlet Sun Domain, immense suns began to rise, one after another.
In the central area, a colossal sun seemed to ascend from an endless ocean.
This great sun carried the dawn light of the primordial era, its radiance illuminating eternity.
These great suns converged, bringing boundless pressure.
Bright suns, dark suns, colorful suns, thunderous suns, gloomy suns…
This was the Dao of the Scarlet Sun Domain.
Thump.
The great sun at the center pulsed like a beating heart.
Boundless pressure bore down.
“City Lord Chen.”
The voice of the Scarlet Sun Great Emperor echoed, “Can’t you wait any longer? Or do you believe that with just you and your companions, you can annihilate my Scarlet Sun Domain?”
The Scarlet Sun Domain had been meticulously honed under his rule for a million years.
Every Great Domain was his powerful foundation.
He sneered, “Do you think my Scarlet Sun Domain is as useless as the Divine Firmament Domain?”
His tone was devoid of any pretense of disdain for the Divine Firmament.
“Heh heh.”
Chen Fan scoffed, “As fellow eighth-tiers, what right do you have to look down on others?”
“Him?”
Seeing Chen Fan speak up for the Divine Firmament, the Scarlet Sun Great Emperor became even more dismissive. “A person who cannot even manage a Great Domain properly, what qualification does he have to be compared with me?”
“No, no, no.”
Chen Fan disagreed with this assessment.
He held the opposing view.
He said softly, “Although the Divine Firmament was not adept at management, he repeatedly traversed the Heavenly Pillars to venture into the outer realms.”
“Dragon King and Sword Master both frequently traveled outside the realms, but you… you don’t even dare to cross the Heavenly Pillars, only daring to cower in your own small territory, you mere pushover, laughing at others. Who gave you the courage?”
His voice echoed through heaven and earth.
During this period, Chen Fan had learned some things about the Scarlet Sun Great Emperor.
From the moment he entered the eighth-tier, this person had never left the Scarlet Sun Domain.
His idea was to polish his territory until it shone, and when the Thunder Domain opened, he could better resist the outer realms.
Dragon King and Sword Master often ventured outside.
Only Scarlet Sun had never stepped out.
Chen Fan continued, “The Space Boots are in your hands, and they are being disgraced.”
“Hmph.”
Anger flared in the Scarlet Sun Great Emperor’s eyes. “Can you pry into my thoughts?”
“Only in my hands can the Space Boots unleash their true power. You are not worthy of them.”
“Is that so?”
Chen Fan smiled. “Very well, since you are so confident, let’s both remove the restrictions on the Space Boots and see who they will choose. How about it?”
“…”
As soon as these words were spoken, the Scarlet Sun Great Emperor fell silent.
“See? That’s why I call you a pushover.”
Contemptuous words escaped his lips. “Without even this much confidence, who gave you the courage to clamor before me?”
Boom!
As his words fell, the River of Life and Death appeared.
The River of Yin and Yang manifested.
The River of Dark Water emerged.
The River of Thunder appeared.
Seven top-tier Great Daos stretched across the sky.
Chen Fan’s voice boomed like thunder. “Scarlet Sun, you speak of qualifications before me. Are you worthy?”
“I have cultivated for merely twenty years and have already reached the seventh-tier Great Emperor realm.”
“Your proud eighth-tier is as easy as pie in my eyes…”
“A million years is enough for me to go back and forth through hundreds of eighth-tiers. What are you, that you dare to be arrogant before me?”
These simple words caused the Scarlet Sun Great Emperor’s expression to darken terrifyingly.
Not just Scarlet Sun, but the Cracked Heaven Great Emperor beside him also turned black.
Seven Killings, Emperor Yu… and Black Emperor and others who had traveled from afar.
These words were too hurtful.
