197: Chapter 197: Ten Imperial Thrones, the Position of the Heavenly Emperor!
At the end of the Emperor Road, at the top of the Imperial Palace, ten Imperial Thrones radiating terrifying pressure vaguely appeared in everyone's sight. The powerful Imperial might could be felt even from a great distance.
In particular, the Imperial Throne in the very center was one position higher than the other nine, like a king among Great Emperors, situated in the middle.
That pressure, enough to make heaven and earth submit, caused the Great Emperors present to tremble in their hearts. This aura definitely did not belong to the Great Emperor Realm!
For a moment, many Great Emperors suddenly recalled the Heavenly Emperor Realm envisioned by the ancestors of the Supreme Beginning Holy Land. Could it be that there truly were other Realms above the Great Emperor?
Thinking of this, the expressions of many Great Emperors changed. Especially the other faction, led by Hei Ming, believed that the Human Race could never completely eliminate the Demon Race.
Therefore, they advocated for the coexistence of the Human Race and the Demon Race, and if necessary, some large prefectures could be ceded to the Demon Race. The two Races would sign a treaty to ensure the continuous Legacy of the Human Race.
Several people looked at the central Imperial Throne, their eyes filled with greed. If there truly was a Realm more powerful than the Great Emperor, then it should be in the hands of these Great Emperors.
They had already reached the end of the Great Emperor. Breakthrough would certainly be easier for them than for those Geniuses who had not yet stepped into the Great Emperor Realm. By then, they would no longer have to fear the Demon Race.
Hei Ming and the others found a suitable and righteous excuse for themselves, looking at the several Great Prodigies with profound meaning in their eyes. Hei Ming's heart stirred, and he immediately sent a message to Bei Mingtian, telling him to absolutely seize the central Imperial Throne.
Bei Mingtian's expression changed, and he suddenly looked towards the end of the Emperor Road, his eyes filled with excitement. More powerful than a Great Emperor? This position, I will definitely take it!
Meanwhile, the Prodigies present saw that this Emperor Road was different from what was recorded. In the past, each time the Emperor Road opened, only one person could become the Great Emperor of the current era. But what did they see now? A full ten positions, which meant that ten Great Emperors would be born!
While everyone was trembling, their hearts were also filled with incomparable excitement. They might not have a chance for one Imperial Throne, but with ten, they could try.
Especially the four Prodigies ranked in the top ten behind Bei Mingtian, who originally thought they were just there to accompany, didn't expect that they too would have a chance. Was this the Golden Age?
Among the crowd, Jiang Xuan, who had changed his aura and appearance, was mixed in. Looking at the completely different Emperor Road from before, he frowned. "Are you already so impatient? A full ten Great Emperors, and also a Heavenly Emperor fruit position. This must be your limit, right?"
"It seems the Heavenly Dao of the Demon Realm has given you a great threat. Are they coming soon?"
Jiang Xuan was not swayed by the temptation before him. Abnormal occurrences always indicate something strange. The Heavenly Dao being so eager to create powerhouses could only mean that the Heavenly Demon Realm was coming soon.
Otherwise, the Golden Age had not been open for long, and the Heavenly Dao had only just awakened. If it hadn't felt threatened, it would not have expended its foundation to cultivate beyond the world's limit, the Heavenly Emperor fruit position.
If Jiang Xuan was not mistaken, after this Emperor Road, the Heavenly Dao would fall into an extremely weak state.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan suddenly looked towards the direction of the Heavenly Realm. Upon clearly seeing the figures on the Lotus Dao Platform, his expression flickered. "As expected... So, from the very beginning, you sought me out..." Jiang Xuan murmured in his heart, as if he had understood something, and a faint light shone in his eyes.
After a long while, as the bronze giant gate gradually stabilized, the two great Prodigy factions began to step onto the Emperor Road one after another. However, not everyone was qualified to enter.
The ancient runes on the bronze gate would filter out the unqualified, isolating them outside. Not only that, once one stepped onto the Emperor Road, one could die at any moment.
Jiang Xuan glanced at the teams of the two great powers, thought for a moment, and followed behind Bei Mingtian's team into the bronze gate.
In the Heavenly Realm faction, Man Dali looked left and right, then said to Desolate Heaven beside him, "Boss, where is your true body?"
Desolate Heaven fanned himself with a folding fan and smiled, "He will appear when it's time."
Once all the qualified Prodigies had entered, the ancient runes in the bronze gate suddenly grew larger, completely blocking the gate to the Emperor Road.
The eyes of the Geniuses from various regions who were blocked outside the gate were filled with disappointment. Some of them had cultivated for decades, hundreds of years, some even thousands of years, but even so, they didn't even have the qualification to participate in the Emperor Road competition.
Thinking of this, some Prodigies felt disheartened and began to doubt themselves, leaving the place dejectedly. Others remained in place, their disappointment lasting only a moment before their eyes regained clarity. Since they couldn't participate, they would be witnesses to history.
In the long river of history, there are not only protagonists and supporting characters, but also these witnesses, who together form the rolling torrent of history.
In the Void Realm, the white-haired elder saw this scene and nodded with relief. The achievements of these people in the future would not stop here.
Then, he glanced at Hei Ming beside him and said coldly, "Hei Ming, don't think I don't know your intentions. Put away your petty thoughts. This is a major matter concerning the future of the Human Race. If you dare to sabotage it, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Hei Ming sneered, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes, and he said eerily, "Old Cang, rest assured, I am also of the Human Race. How could I do anything that would betray the Human Race?"
Old Cang gave him a cold glance, "Hmph! It better be so."
...On the Emperor Road, the moment Jiang Xuan stepped in, the surrounding scenery underwent a dramatic change. The familiar Jiang Family became a pile of ruins, and his father, mother, and sister lay in a pool of blood, covered in wounds.
They struggled to raise their heads, their eyes filled with resentment, "Why pursue that illusory Dao! If it weren't for you, how would our enemies have come knocking? It's you, you harmed us!"
"Brother... Brother... Qing He hurts so much..." A blood-stained sword was plunged into the little girl's back, and her tiny body laboriously crawled towards Jiang Xuan, her eyes filled with pain.
In an instant, the scene changed again. Jiang Xuan ascended to the Imperial Throne, but he was alone. Behind him lay countless corpses, with Man Dali, Sword One, Li Tianming, and others prominently among them.
Everyone mocked him, saying that the Great Emperor of the Human Race was nothing but a lonely man.
