181: Chapter 181 Challenging the Emperor Ranking

"Continue the challenge?" Xie Wushang's gaze flickered, "How to challenge?"

"You can choose the Emperor-level Emperor Battle Stage... and challenge the will and Dao body left by ancient emperors... to fight them at the same realm."

An ethereal voice sounded.

"Challenge the emperors of antiquity?" Xie Wushang's gaze narrowed, eager to try.

"If you successfully challenge one emperor of antiquity... you can enter the Imperial Rank Dao Pool..."

"If you challenge more than nine emperors of antiquity, you will receive the ultimate reward." An ethereal and melodious female voice sounded.

"The ultimate reward?" Xie Wushang's eyes lit up, "What reward is it?"

His trip here was for the Imperial Rank Dao Pool.

In this way, he could also consolidate the cultivation for those twenty Revered Masters.

Furthermore, the Imperial Rank Dao Origin liquid, if kept by him, could also restore the consumption of his Primordial Spirit, making it a rare Imperial Rank precious liquid.

"What! There is also an ultimate reward? Isn't the highest fortune of the City of the Great Dao the Imperial Rank Dao Origin Pool?"

"Could there be an even better precious liquid?"

Hearing this, Cultivators of various clans on the nearby viewing platforms all had their eyes lit up.

"Winning consecutively against nine emperors of antiquity... With such natural talent, he probably has the bearing of a Heavenly Emperor!"

"At the very least, he is invincible below the Heavenly Emperor, and he must be a supreme Dao physique!"

Cultivators of various clans whispered.

"That being said, the ultimate reward is probably comparable to Heavenly Emperor-rank precious liquid?"

Thinking of this, many people's eyes lit up, eager to try.

But recalling that requirement, defeating nine emperors of the same realm with sheer strength, what kind of natural talent would that be?

How many people in the current world possess such strength?

"I wonder if the Divine Son of Jiang will choose to challenge?" Cultivators of various clans looked at Xie Wushang with burning faces.

"Challenge the emperors of antiquity? That couldn't be better!" In the Youyan Fire Crow Clan, You Qianyu opened his eyes and looked ahead.

"True emperors are all the pinnacle of the Dao... by no means comparable to ordinary Cultivators... If he challenges... he will definitely lose!"

"It would be best if his Foundation is ruined."

You Qianyu whispered, his gaze gloomy and hideous.

Clearly, this emperor's grandson had just fainted strategically.

Now that he woke up, he wanted to watch Xie Wushang make a fool of himself.

"To think that one can challenge the will and true spirit of the emperors of antiquity here!" Jiang Nianyang, on the other hand, was eager to try.

The little fellow clenched his fists tightly, and he also really wanted to give it a try.

"I... choose to challenge the Emperor Battle Stage!" On the Emperor Battle Stage, Xie Wushang's gaze flashed, and he said without hesitation.

He also really wanted to witness the Dao techniques of those emperors.

To see how much gap there was between his own Dao and theirs.

"A youth is to be feared!" A pleasant and ethereal voice sounded on the Emperor Battle Stage, seemingly quite satisfied with Xie Wushang's choice.

"I shall upgrade the battle stage for you right now!"

Suddenly, ripples emerged on the Emperor Battle Stage, with Emperor-level Dao patterns surfacing. The space within turned upside down, like heaven and earth reversing.

The next moment, Xie Wushang was led into another battle stage.

One could see that above the City of the Great Dao, ripples emerged, and a huge battle stage covering an area of a hundred miles manifested.

Viewing platforms emerged one by one beside the battle stage.

Like stars surrounding the moon.

A vast imperial might permeated from the new battle stage.

Meanwhile, the battle stage where Xie Wushang was just now rippled, submerged into the Void Realm, and was sealed off right there.

"Let's go!"

"Quick, quickly choose the best viewing position!"

Seeing this, Cultivators of various clans hurriedly flew toward the newly appeared viewing platform ahead.

This battle stage, as if located beneath the firmament, overlooked the entire City of the Great Dao.

Landing on the viewing platform, the crowd could even see the Dao Pool hidden in the clouds and mist ahead.

Cultivators of various clans—Jiang Clan, Ji Clan, Tushan Clan, and the Ice Phoenix Li Clan—also flew forward respectively and occupied a viewing platform.

Xie Wushang stood on the Imperial Rank battle stage.

Yet he saw that before him was a vast starry sky, as if he were in a separate realm space.

In the starry sky ahead, emperor monuments stood one after another.

Every emperor monument was inscribed with a name, corresponding to an emperor, and wrote his Dao Law.

Xie Wushang's gaze swept across, scanning toward the emperor monuments ahead.

"Emperor Piaoxue... Ji Huanshuang... Proved the Dao with the Dao of Ice and Snow... Her imperial technique: Frost and snowflakes fall ten thousand li without a trace, quite prestigious, ranked ninety-first on the Immortal-Demon Realm Emperor Ranking List..."

"Emperor Zhangkong... Li Zhangkong... Proved the Dao with the Dao of Space... His imperial technique: 'Infinite Space'... Shocking the past and present, emperors of the same realm trapped within can hardly extricate themselves... Ranked sixty-first on the Immortal-Demon Realm Emperor Ranking List."

"Emperor Xingchen... Zhang Xingyao... Proved the Dao with the Dao of Stars... His imperial technique: Great stars fall like rain into the mortal world... Unstoppable, few emperors can forcefully withstand a single blow from him... Ranked fifty-ninth on the Immortal-Demon Realm Emperor Ranking List."

"Emperor Jimie... Jia Jianlong, proved the Dao with the Dao of Nirvana Swordsmanship, his imperial technique: 'Great Nirvana Sword Scripture' is extremely domineering, one sword out, shattering ten thousand Laws... Extremely strong combat power, ranked nineteenth on the Immortal-Demon Realm Emperor Ranking List..." Xie Wushang glanced over the emperor monuments one by one.

The names of those ancient emperors and the Dao they proved were all taken into his eyes.

"Two hundred and sixty-eight emperors... to think there are so many..." Seeing the emperor monuments floating in this space, Xie Wushang's heart stirred slightly. With so many emperors, it was hard to imagine how prosperous this 'Immortal-Demon Realm' used to be.

"These are the emperors who came here to guard the borderlands over one million and sixty thousand years in the 'Immortal-Demon Realm'!" A pleasant and ethereal voice sounded.

"One million and sixty thousand years? Guarding the borderlands!" Xie Wushang's gaze narrowed, looking at the emperor monuments ahead with a bit of respect.

"So these emperors all came here to guard the borderlands, and subsequently left their names here!"

Ripples emerged in the air above the battle stage.

A woman dressed in thin gauze with an exquisite figure emerged.

This was the artifact spirit of the Emperor Battle Stage.

With a wave of her jade hand, an emperor monument a thousand meters tall manifested in the air.

"This is the Emperor Ranking List... You can start challenging from the very last emperor... After that, challenge one every ten positions."

The artifact spirit said.

"The Emperor Ranking List, huh!" Xie Wushang's gaze narrowed as he looked up.

The emperors in those few emperor monuments he saw earlier clearly had their names on it.

His sight swept across the Emperor Ranking List and did not linger at the end.

Since it was a challenge, he did not want to choose the easiest one.

But rather chose the emperor he wanted to understand the most.

At this time, the Emperor Ranking List manifested outside the Emperor Battle Stage, completely seen by the Cultivators in the viewing platforms outside.

"Two hundred and sixty-eight emperors... to think there are so many emperors!"

Cultivators of various clans exclaimed.

"Li Zhangkong... That... That seems to be the emperor of our clan... In our clan's imperial genealogy, he has a name!"

"Emperor Piaoxue, Ji Huanshuang... That is the ancient emperor of our clan... Proved the Dao eighty-seven hundred thousand years ago..."

"Emperor Xingchen... Zhang Xingyao... That is the emperor of our clan, who proved the Dao of Stars sixty-nine hundred thousand years ago."

"These... are all the ancient emperors of our Cangyuan Realm!" Seeing this, Cultivators of various clans widened their eyes and exclaimed.

Most of the emperors on the Emperor Ranking List left their names in the imperial clans present.

Originally thinking that the 'Immortal-Demon Realm' was another world.

Who would have thought that the emperors among them actually came from within their clans.

This discovery made them feel suspicious in their hearts.

Could it be that this 'Immortal-Demon Realm' is truly a border pass?

"Jiang Wushang... Which emperor will he choose?"

"I think most likely he will choose the Saber Emperor ranked two hundred and sixty-eighth, Liu Kuangdao!"
