802: Chapter 805: The Exiled Immortal in White

A middle-aged man wearing Confucian robes whispered, sounding uncertain.

"Oh! Fellow Daoist, who are you speaking of?" Someone, upon hearing his words, immediately looked over with curiosity.

"The White-Clad Immortal, Ye Yishui!" the middle-aged man replied in a low voice, though he did not dare to be entirely certain. After all, although this person had never become a Great Emperor, he had left behind a profound legacy in history that people dared not forget.

"What? That White-Clad Immortal Ye Yishui who once vied for the Heaven Mandate against the Heavenly Emperor?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd around them could not help but exclaim in unison.

This person's fame was truly immense; he was a formidable rival to the Heavenly Emperor. The two had competed all the way from the Great Saint Realm and eventually fought to the Peak of the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

The two had clashed, with victories and defeats on both sides. Their strength differed very little, and their talents were equally astonishing—he was no weaker than the Heavenly Emperor of that time.

In the end, had the Heavenly Emperor not been slightly superior and managed to seize the Heaven Mandate first, it would have been uncertain who would have emerged victorious!

If it truly were him, it would be utterly shocking. With his world-shaking talent, how many in the current era could compare to him?

"This person is so strong. His qi luck value is far greater than the other three; it's truly terrifying!"

Qin Xiao also noticed this white-clad man and could not help but exclaim. Unlike the others, who could not confirm the white-clad man's identity,

he knew from the System panel that this was indeed that legendary peerless figure, the one who had left behind an illustrious reputation in ancient history.

To be able to oppose that ancient Heavenly Emperor and survive all the way to the Peak was extremely rare, which in itself proved his brilliance.

Had he not been born in the same era as the Heavenly Emperor, he would likely have already become an Emperor, leaving behind his own prestige in ancient history.

These peerless figures emerging one after another made Qin Xiao realize the crisis. Some of these individuals were not from his own era but came from different times.

However, due to various reasons, they had sealed themselves within Divine Sources, only appearing in the world in this lifetime.

Every one of these powerhouses emerging from the Divine Sources possessed immense strength, walking at the very forefront of martial arts, and they were terrifyingly powerful.

What was most critical was that there were quite a few of these powerhouses emerging from the Divine Sources. Most had extremely prominent reputations, being figures capable of leaving their names in ancient texts, which was truly extraordinary.

Their appearance caused waves in the once-calm Universe, greatly impacting the major powers like those Qin Xiao had established in the Zhu Tian Wasteland World.

Of the original eight major powers, one had been destroyed, and another had chosen to submit, serving under the Ancient Divine Son.

The other powers also faced challenges. These newly appeared Emperor's sons had taken over the powers left behind by their fathers and had begun to wage war everywhere.

This placed severe challenges upon powers like Qin Xiao's, causing pressure to mount and forcing them to respond with caution.

"The current situation has become much more complex. I have a feeling the Heaven Mandate is about to condense. Time waits for no one; I must quicken my pace."

Qin Xiao muttered to himself. These people had all been accumulating strength for who knows how long, all for the sake of contending for the Heaven Mandate of this lifetime.

Compared to them, his own foundation was lacking by more than just a little. Fortunately, he had the System; otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to catch up to them.

The only thing he needed to do now was to successfully refine his Lifebound Treasure, and then, with the baptism of the Great Emperor Tribulation, cause his Heavenly Emperor Tower to fully integrate and become an Extremity Emperor Weapon.

Once he succeeded, his chances of surviving the tribulation would increase by ninety percent. Furthermore, he was different from others; others only achieved the Great Emperor Realm after completing their tribulation.

Whereas he would only attract the Lightning Tribulation because he achieved the Great Emperor Realm. With this order reversed, the difference in strength was far from insignificant, and the success rate of surviving the Lightning Tribulation had increased by an unknown amount.

"My Heavenly Emperor Tower has already had the vast majority of its body refined; only the last two levels remain. I must speed up!"

Qin Xiao complained inwardly. During this period, his true self had been running amok across the Universe, plundering resources everywhere.

Even many Emperor-level powers had fallen victim to him. Even the Weapon Emperor Celestial Kingdom, which he had targeted first, was no exception; in a moment of negligence, Qin Xiao had slipped into their treasury.

He had plundered all the various precious Immortal Gold Ores from their treasury and even seized the three Emperor Weapon embryos that the Weapon Emperor Celestial Kingdom had painstakingly refined.

Emperor Weapon embryos were the juvenile forms of Extremity Emperor Weapons. The Materials used to refine them were identical to those of an Extremity Emperor Weapon, but they had not been nourished by the Great Emperor Laws or baptized by the Heavenly Tribulation. Therefore, strictly speaking, they could not be considered Extremity Emperor Weapons and could only be counted as semi-finished products.

However, they possessed the requirements of an Extremity Emperor Weapon, so they were extremely precious.

After their items were stolen, the Weapon Emperor Celestial Kingdom nearly went mad. The powerhouses of the celestial kingdom, carrying several of their Extremity Emperor Weapons, frantically pursued Qin Xiao.

They chased Qin Xiao for several Star Domains before he finally managed to shake them off. He had nearly capsized in the gutter, which made Qin Xiao feel a lingering sense of shock.

However, the harvest from this operation was also immense. After melting all these items into the Heavenly Emperor Tower, his Heavenly Emperor Tower was directly refined to the tenth level; only two more levels remained, and he would be finished with the refining.

By then, he would be able to use the System's qi luck value to directly Breakthrough to the Great Emperor Realm.

As more and more powerhouses appeared, he began to feel very uneasy, especially after these people started forming Alliances in groups of three or five; his sense of unease grew even stronger.

The Sovereign Pavilion that he had worked so hard to establish must not be destroyed just like that.

Subsequently, he turned his gaze forward to the two people locked in combat. Their strength was nearly identical, so the battle between them was also very spectacular.

Various rare secret techniques and Divine Abilities were unleashed by both, eliciting waves of exclamations.

Having reached their Realm, unless the gap in strength was vast, determining a victor was a very difficult task that required a significant amount of time.

The battle between the two lasted for a very long time. Due to the massive commotion caused, it attracted more and more powerhouses. Most of these people were individuals with extremely abundant Luck, and they possessed great strength, existing as those with the opportunity to contend for the Heaven Mandate.

Qin Xiao looked out; among the crowd, the number of those with great Luck alone reached an astonishing dozen or so. Furthermore, all of them had reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm, and even those stronger than him accounted for nearly half—it was truly astonishing!
