374: Chapter 374 Top Three Throughout the Ages, A Great War Between Two Realms?

This was exactly what the sentient beings of the Lesser Immortal Realm were thinking at this moment. Of course, they only thought it in their hearts and did not say it out loud because they did not dare to.

Immortal General Chiri swallowed hard, his heart filled with both shock and anger. How did this Heavenly Emperor of the Origin Realm dare to say such things?

Becoming an Immortal King in the Origin Realm? This Heavenly Emperor Jiang was dreaming!

Given the conditions of the Origin Realm and the Lesser Immortal Realm, how could it be possible?

But he also didn't dare to speak out. That person was too strong, so strong that he didn't even have the courage to refute him.

The other two Immortal Generals beside Immortal General Chiri shared the same thought at this time.

All the Supremes of the Lesser Immortal Realm felt that Jiang Hao had become arrogant. To speak so lightly of such a rare and ultra-high-difficulty feat as becoming an Immortal King throughout the ages was simply not knowing the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth.

On the side of the Origin Realm Supremes like Xiao Fan and the others, everyone was extremely excited.

“That's the spirit!” Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor clenched his right fist tightly, so excited he almost jumped up. “The Heavenly Emperor is indeed still the same Heavenly Emperor!”

Xiao Fan and the others smiled happily. They knew that the Heavenly Emperor was still just as confident and powerful.

What cooperation, what cooperating to divide the world? The Heavenly Emperor didn't need it at all.

The Heavenly Emperor alone was enough.

The Great Emperor of Creation's face was full of admiration, Chen Changsheng laughed loudly, Heavenly Venerable Longgu let out a long breath, and Qin Chen clenched his fists, his eyes filled with reverence.

They believed in the Heavenly Emperor, not out of blind faith, but because in all these years, the Heavenly Emperor had never once spoken empty words.

If he said he could do it, he would definitely do it. Although they didn't know where the Heavenly Emperor's confidence in becoming an Immortal King came from, they didn't need to know.

Believing was enough.

Grand Void Immortal Lord looked at Jiang Hao and remained silent for a long time.

He suddenly smiled, a smile tinged with emotion and a hint of helplessness.

“It's good to be young, confident and full of drive.”

Grand Void Immortal Lord shook his head, his tone carrying a trace of the superiority of one who had been there before.

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, you are very strong and your talent is excellent, but you are still too young. Opening the Immortal Domain passage alone? Unless your Mortal World Immortal Path can reach its end and you then achieve Immortal Ascension, otherwise, it is impossible.”

He paused and looked at Jiang Hao, his gaze becoming serious.

“As for becoming an Immortal King here...” Grand Void Immortal Lord smiled and didn't finish his sentence.

But the meaning in that smile was obvious to everyone.

A pipe dream.

Grand Void Immortal Lord indeed only thought that Jiang Hao's confidence had inflated. He admitted that Jiang Hao's talent was peerless, possessing such strength at such a young age and being able to walk so far on the Mortal World Immortal Path.

But becoming an Immortal King was fundamentally impossible. The Lesser Immortal Realm and the Origin Realm no longer had the external conditions to produce an Immortal King. With the Laws of heaven and earth broken, how could one become a King?

Even Immortal Ascension was difficult, let alone becoming an Immortal King.

Hearing these words from Grand Void Immortal Lord, the Supremes of the Lesser Immortal Realm felt much more at ease.

The Immortal Lord was right. Becoming an Immortal King in the Origin Realm or the Lesser Immortal Realm? How could that be possible!

Since ancient times, such a thing had never been heard of.

It was an impossible feat.

Jiang Hao looked at Grand Void Immortal Lord without speaking. He just stood there with a faint smile on his lips.

In that smile, there was no anger, no disdain, and not even a desire to explain.

There was no need. This Grand Void Immortal Lord was merely someone who had reached the fifth life before achieving Immortal Ascension.

His level was too low to understand the situations and effects that would occur when the Mortal World Immortal Path reached the seventh or eighth life.

He didn't know that Jiang Hao could now achieve a state where time could not touch his body, nor did he know that Jiang Hao did not lack Immortal King Legacies.

He knew even less that reaching the end of the Mortal World Immortal Path allowed for an ultimate leap to become an Immortal King.

But this was normal, and Grand Void Immortal Lord couldn't be blamed. Because before Jiang Hao, no one in either realm had reached the seventh or eighth life, and no one had reached the step where time could not touch them.

That reaching the end of the Mortal World Immortal Path allowed for an ultimate leap to become an Immortal King was also a conclusion Jiang Hao had reached after being special and attaining the seventh life.

This was indeed unbelievable news.

Many things were like this; before a result emerged, no one dared to believe it.

However, Jiang Hao did not explain to Grand Void Immortal Lord. Currently, the two sides were not close Fellow Daoists, and the current Grand Void Immortal Lord was not qualified to know these things.

According to Jiang Hao's estimation, this Grand Void Immortal Lord, with his five lives of Immortal Ascension plus years of accumulation and the bonus of practicing the Six Lives, Five Worlds technique, had a combat power roughly equivalent to the seventh life of the Mortal World Immortal Path.

He seemed about the same as himself, as Jiang Hao himself was only at the seventh life, but his luck was bad because he had encountered Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao was no ordinary seventh life. He cultivated a mysterious technique from the Chaotic Ancient Heavenly Court that started at the Immortal King level at least, and with various opportunities, he even had several types of Immortal King Laws.

He was completely incomparable to a normal seventh-life cultivator; even a normal eighth-life cultivator would have to admit defeat upon meeting Jiang Hao.

It was only because this Grand Void Immortal Lord had a decent attitude and didn't look down on everything from a high position that Jiang Hao hadn't acted sooner.

Since he was in someone else's home and their attitude was okay, it naturally wouldn't be right to strike directly.

Of course, the main reason was that Jiang Hao was afraid that fighting would shatter the Lesser Immortal Realm. A clash between levels like Jiang Hao and Grand Void Immortal Lord was no joke.

The Lesser Immortal Realm was the next target for Fusion with the Origin Realm, so Jiang Hao naturally wouldn't destroy it.

Especially the Great Dao of this Lesser Immortal Realm; it had been so friendly since Jiang Hao arrived, as affectionate as seeing a close relative. In such a situation, who could bear to harm it?

However, this Grand Void Immortal Lord was indeed very remarkable, able to rank in the top three in the entire Three Realms.

After all, before Jiang Hao appeared, the only one in the Origin Realm, Dao Xuan Realm, and Lesser Immortal Realm who could reach the fifth life of a Red Dust Immortal was the Dao Venerable, which showed how rare it was.

If the sentient beings of the Lesser Immortal Realm knew Jiang Hao's thoughts, they would be scared to death. Their world's strongest expert, the Grand Void Immortal Lord who had achieved Immortal Ascension after five lives and ruled the Lesser Immortal Realm for many tens of thousands of years, was at a level that was 'too low'?

What kind of joke was this!

It's impossible for our Immortal Lord to be just this!

Seeing Jiang Hao remain silent, Grand Void Immortal Lord thought he was still hesitating and spoke again to persuade him:

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, calm down and don't act on impulse. You and I cooperating, progressing together, breaking into the Immortal Domain, and then claiming kingship together in the Immortal Domain—that is the right path.”

His tone was sincere, and his posture was kept very low.

Given his usual temper, being rejected like this would have caused him to flip out long ago.

But today he had no choice; the young man before him was also very strong.

He felt that even if Jiang Hao was a bit weaker than him, it wouldn't be by much.

As for being stronger than him? Grand Void Immortal Lord didn't believe it.

He, Grand Void Immortal Lord, had at least achieved Immortal Ascension after walking through five lives, had made progress over many years as an Immortal, and with the recent mastery of the Six Lives, Five Worlds, his strength had advanced again. He was currently at the absolute Peak and most confident point of his life.

He felt that he was now considered very strong even among Immortals, only weaker than those Quasi-Immortal Kings.

Unless this Heavenly Emperor of the Origin Realm became a Red Dust Immortal, only then could he win against him.

As for being at a disadvantage in the clash of auras with Jiang Hao just now? That was because he was afraid of destroying the Lesser Immortal Realm, so he hadn't used his full strength.

Jiang Hao shook his head: “No need.”

The smile on Grand Void Immortal Lord's face stiffened for a moment.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.

To be honest, it had been a long time since he had been rejected like this.

But fortunately, he had already prepared for being rejected by Jiang Hao. A person like Jiang Hao, with high talent and great strength, would certainly be very proud and might not necessarily listen to him.

So he was already prepared.

“Since Fellow Daoist Jiang is unwilling to cooperate, then I have a proposal.” Grand Void Immortal Lord put away his smile and said solemnly, “Why don't our two realms have a battle?”

Hearing this, Jiang Hao gained a bit of interest but didn't speak, wearing an expression that invited him to continue.

Grand Void Immortal Lord continued:

“My proposal is that since our two realms are going to merge anyway, we might as well let the Supremes of our two realms spar. Your Origin Realm Supremes and our Lesser Immortal Realm Supremes will have a battle to show off their respective strengths.”

“Whichever side wins will have more of a say when the time comes. This way, both sides can see the other's strength and be convinced. Secondly, it can also temper the experts of both realms, killing two birds with one stone.”

Grand Void Immortal Lord paused and looked at Jiang Hao, his gaze becoming sharp:

“Finally, you and I will have a match to decide the ultimate highest right of speech. How about it?”
