65: Imperial attack! I, the Emperor, am severing the fate of humanity from this very moment!
These three simple words seemed to possess infinite magic, plunging everyone into a deathly silence.
Lost?
The second on the prodigy list, possessing the bearing of a great emperor, hailed as one of the people most likely to Attain the Dao in this era, the Imperial Daughter of the Northern Plains Wang Family, Wang Tengxue, who had cultivation near that of a Saint... had actually lost?
Wang Tengxue stood there blankly. In those cold and aloof eyes, she was now filled with confusion, bewilderment, and a trace of... grievance that even she herself had not noticed.
How could she have lost?
Her Immaculate Dao, immune to all Laws, was one of the purest and most fundamental Daos in the world!
Yet today, she had lost to a man who only had 6th Realm cultivation, and whose cultivation was even achieved through a shortcut.
"I... I..." Wang Tengxue opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found her throat extremely dry, unable to utter a single word.
A massive sense of frustration and shame engulfed her like a tidal wave.
"Pfft—" She could no longer suppress the roiling Qi and blood, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The crimson bloodstains splattered onto her snow-white dress, appearing exceptionally glaring.
Her delicate body swayed, as if she would collapse at any moment.
"Tengxue!" In the distance, at the seats of the Northern Plains Wang Family, an old man with the terrifying aura of a Peak Quasi-Emperor stood up abruptly, his face filled with anxiety and worry.
He wanted to rush onto the Dao Discussion Platform, but was firmly blocked by the Jiang Family guards.
"Senior of the Wang Family, please remain calm," a Jiang Family guard said expressionlessly. "His Highness the Imperial Son has his own sense of propriety."
On the Dao Discussion Platform, Jiang Yuan looked at the stunningly beautiful woman before him, who was pale and swaying, and sighed slightly in his heart.
To be honest, he hadn't expected Wang Tengxue's Dao Heart to be so fragile.
Wasn't it just losing a single match? Was it necessary to get so agitated that she vomited blood?
However, thinking back to her high and mighty attitude from before, acting as if Heaven was first and she was second, let that teach you to show off!
Why not learn from Qin Yuebai, Qin Wanwan, and Hu Mei, who obediently admitted defeat and stood behind him? Wouldn't that be better?
"Do you want to continue?" Jiang Yuan retracted the Reincarnation disk. The feeling of using Immortal Law to activate the Ultimate Imperial Weapon was better than he had expected.
Wang Tengxue's delicate body trembled. She raised her head, her cold eyes now bloodshot. After a long while, she struggled to squeeze these three words out from between her teeth: "I... lost."
"Very good." Jiang Yuan smiled. He knew that she must still be unconvinced, but that didn't matter. After the Dao Discussion Assembly ended, he would have plenty of time to make her slowly come around.
Besides, if everyone was obedient and well-trained, it would be a bit boring.
"Ahem," Jiang Yuan cleared his throat, looked around at the crowd below, and said indifferently: "Is there anyone else who wants to..."
Hum— An indescribable, terrifying pressure filled with death, decay, and annihilation descended suddenly from the Nine Heavens!
That pressure surpassed the Saints, surpassed the Quasi-Emperors; it was the supreme Divine Might belonging to a Great Emperor!
And it wasn't just one! There were three! Three auras of Emperors filled with endless killing intent instantly enveloped the entire Yingxian Island!
"Not good!" Deep within the Jiang Family Ancestral Land, the First Ancestor's voice, which had always been calm and breezy, showed shock and anger for the first time! "There is an enemy attack!"
Rumble—! The entire Yingxian Island, and even the territory of the Jiang Family, trembled violently under these three terrifying auras of Emperors!
At the same time, a dense aura of Emperors covered Yingxian Island! "This is... a Great Emperor-level Formation?!"
The sky turned pitch black in an instant. It wasn't dark clouds blocking the sun, but the Laws of space being forcibly distorted and torn apart at this moment!
Three blurry figures shrouded in dense Death Qi and ominous black mist slowly stepped out from the torn spatial rift.
They just floated quietly above Yingxian Island, and the terrifying pressure radiating from them was like three Primordial Divine Mountains pressing heavily onto everyone's hearts!
Great Emperors! They were three living Great Emperors! No! To be precise, they were Ancient Emperors! Ancient Emperors... from the Life Forbidden Zone!!
The aura on the three Ancient Emperors was undisguised; they... had come with ill intent!
"Who goes there?!" Jiang Zhan shouted angrily, stepping forward. The aura of a Peak Quasi-Emperor erupted, attempting to resist those three terrifying auras of Emperors.
However, in front of a true Great Emperor Realm, a Quasi-Emperor was, after all, just an ant!
Pfft! Jiang Zhan couldn't even withstand a single encounter before being sent flying backward by those three auras of Emperors. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning deathly pale!
"Uncle!" Jiang Yuan's expression changed, and his figure flashed as he wanted to step forward to support Jiang Zhan.
"Yuaner, don't come over!" Jiang Zhan forcibly steadied his figure and shouted sternly at Jiang Yuan, his eyes filled with anxiety and gravity. He knew that the target of these three Great Emperors was definitely Yuaner!
"Hahaha... Jiang Family, what great prestige you have!" In the sky, one of the black shadows let out a hoarse, harsh sneer. The sound was like metal grinding, making one's scalp tingle.
"It's just a pity that after today, there will no longer be a Jiang Family Imperial Son in this world!"
As the words fell, the black shadow raised his hand abruptly. A giant claw reaching for the sky, condensed from pure Laws of death, carrying terrifying power capable of tearing apart the heavens and earth, clawed fiercely toward the Dao Discussion Platform below!
His strike was not just to kill Jiang Yuan! It was to wipe out the entire Dao Discussion Platform, along with all the Heavens Proud Daughters on it!
This was a death trap! They wanted to use the most ruthless and direct method to sever the hope of the Human Race's future!
This was an excellent opportunity. As long as they killed this batch of Heavens Proud Daughters, the Human Race's Golden Great Era would instantly collapse!
And they could use their Physique Origins to live for another hundred thousand years!!
... "You brat! How dare you!" Just at this critical moment, deep within the Jiang Family Ancestral Land, the First Ancestor's roar, filled with endless rage, resounded through the heavens and earth!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Five pillars of equally terrifying Emperors Might shot up into the sky from the Jiang Family Ancestral Land, transforming into five towering divine phantoms standing between heaven and earth!
"Rats from the Forbidden Zone! How dare you run wild on the territory of my Jiang Family! Are you tired of living?!" The Fourth Ancestor's fiery voice, like rolling thunder, exploded in the Void Realm.
Five terrifying auras belonging to Great Emperors ferociously met those three auras of imperial power filled with Death Qi from the unnamed Life Forbidden Zone!
Above the firmament, the auras of eight Great Emperors were colliding and surging crazily! The entire Emperor Immortal Great World fell into unprecedented turmoil at this moment!
Countless stars turned into powder in the collision of these terrifying auras! Space cracked inch by inch, like a shattered mirror!
"Jiang Family's Fourth, you are the one who acts the most arrogant." "Your Jiang Family is strong, and you have many Great Emperors, but you should not have fully awakened yet, right!"
"Before you fully awaken, this Emperor can slaughter all the Prodigies of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms!" "Before dealing with us, first endure the wrath of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms!"
While speaking, two Ancient Emperors who had already sublimated to the extreme and were wrapped in shadows soared into the sky, their vast imperial power blocking the five Old Ancestors of the Jiang Family.
"Hurry up!" Rumble—! Above Yingxian Island, the last Ancient Emperor finally made his move.
His body was surrounded by dense Death Qi, as if he were an ancient corpse that had crawled out of the Nine Nether Hell. In his withered eyes, there was not a shred of emotion, only an extreme disregard for life.
His goal was very clear: it was Jiang Yuan on the Dao Discussion Platform and... everyone else.
"This Emperor cuts off the Luck of the Human Race, and destroys the Jiang Family today!"
