The Emperor Mountain in Emperor Road has appeared ahead of time!
Many orthodoxies were shocked by this. With that, several rays of light darted across the skies, heading towards the Emperor Mountain at great speeds.
A group of Sovereigns arrived at the Emperor Mountain.
They gazed at the peak of the Emperor Mountain excitedly. There were nine golden thrones with Daoist Patterns engraved on them at the top of the mountain, and Daoist chimes echoed. The thrones sparked with brilliance, dazzling anyone who laid their eyes upon it.
Those were the Emperor Thrones!!
âNine Emperor Thrones. This means that nine Emperors will be born this time. Itâs simply unbelievable. This is the first time throughout history that Emperor Mountain has produced a total of nine Emperor Thrones. This is great news indeed.â
âAfter all, this is the Era of Great Battles, a transition between an era of extreme decline to extreme prosperity. Sure enough, the appearance of nine Emperor Thrones is truly unprecedented.â
Some of the Sovereigns could not wait any longer.
A few of them disappeared in a whoosh as they rushed towards the Emperor Mountainâs summit.
However, they were all forced back by an invisible force. The ones who tried to force their way through were immediately slammed into the ground in a sorry state.
âStop messing around. The Emperor Thrones are prepared for the sky-prides of this era. It is not our time,â one of the Sovereigns said.
The other Sovereigns gazed at the Emperor Thrones, having no choice but to abandon those thoughts unwillingly. Each of them then stepped aside for their sky-pridesâ arrival.
Besides the Sovereigns, a crowd of sky-prides soon appeared at the Emperor Mountain.
Qin Tianchen, Bai Hongyu, Sha Wushe, Wang Quan, Zi Wuji, and the other sky-prides arrived and gathered at the bottom of the Emperor Mountain. Everyoneâs thrilled gazes landed on the Emperorâs Thrones.
âSo thatâs the Emperorâs Throne. Weâll become an Emperor once we sit on it!â
âNine⦠Thereâs a total of nine Emperorâs Thrones!â
âThat means Iâll have a greater chance of succeeding!â
âTime to go!â
Some of the sky-prides could not wait any longer and immediately rushed towards the Emperor Mountain.
However, the moment they reached the vicinity of the Emperor Mountain, an incredibly powerful pressure suddenly weighed upon them, slamming them into the ground.
âD*mn, what a terrifying Emperorâs Aura.â
âIf our cultivation level isnât high enough, Iâm afraid weâll even have trouble standing.â
âSure enough, it seems like ascending to the mountain peak is no simple task!â
Qin Tianchen looked at those sky-prides and sneered. âEven if the Emperorâs Thrones become vacant in the end, it will never allow anyone whoâs incompetent to sit on it.â
After that, he started to walk towards the Emperor Mountainâs peak.
His gait appeared calm and leisurely as if there was nothing stopping him at all.
Some of the sky-prides could not help being amazed by that.
âHeâs no doubt the best sky-pride in the world. Heâs truly incredible. I canât believe he can walk that smoothly while others are stuck because of the Emperorâs Aura.â
âBest sky-pride in the world? Shouldnât that be Chu Kuangren instead?â
âWhat do you mean? Chu Kuangren died long ago. He has become a relic of the past now. Qin Tianchen is taking his place as the best in the world.â
That sky-prideâs mouth twitched as he spoke with disdain.
However, a ray of white light suddenly appeared and landed on him, sending him flying and tumbling on the ground nearby.
A figure clad in silver-white armor, with a chilling Holy Radiant qi, was slowly approaching them.
âItâs her, Lan Yu.â
Everyone was shocked by her arrival.
The person who came was Lan Yu, the former Maiden Sage of the Holy Light Religion.
Besides her, Nangong Huang, Murong Xuan, and Shang Qingxue had come out from their closed-door meditations too.
An extremely terrifying aura was surging on them right now. Those were surges of Emperor qi!
The four of them had cultivated Emperor qi!
Lan Yu, especially, was the most powerful among them. Her Emperorâs Aura was no weaker than the older Sovereigns.
âTheyâre so much stronger now!â
Bai Hongyu and the others were shocked.
âYou should clean your mouth more often.â Lan Yu glared at the sky-pride whom she sent flying earlier and uttered coldly.
That sky-pride instantly shuddered before her gaze. However, he summoned his courage and said, âWhy the hell did you hit me? What I said earlier was correct, you know.â
âYeah, what he said was correct after all.â
A playful voice sounded.
The outlaw sky-pride, Sha Wushe was seen walking towards them. He looked at Lan Yu and the others and said, âChu Kuangren is undoubtedly dead. We saw it happen with our own eyes. Whatâs the matter? Is it wrong to say the truth?â
âI wonât mind ripping apart that mouth of yours before ascending the Emperor Mountain.â
A white scepter suddenly appeared in Lan Yuâs hand.
It was an Emperor Weapon. By channeling her Emperor qi into the Emperor Weapon, a mighty aura erupted from Lan Yuâs body, forcing Sha Wushe back several meters.
Sha Wushe steadied himself and looked at her with horror.
âWith Chu Kuangren gone, what can all of you do now?â A powerful surge of Emperorâs Aura also erupted from Sha Wusheâs body.
Having obtained several Opportunities of Fortune inside the Forbidden Barren Wastelandâs Core Area, he had successfully cultivated several strands of Emperor qi too. He was now as powerful as the other Sovereigns.
âBring it on, then!â
Without another word, Lan Yu unleashed a white surge of divine fire.
The divine fire attack was locked onto Sha Wushe.
In response, Sha Wushe raised his hand and released a punch. However, he was still sent flying by Lan Yuâs attack, and a large patch of skin on his fist was damaged by her divine fire.
âSuch power.â
Sha Wushe was even more afraid of Lan Yu.
âHmph. Letâs see how long all of you can survive on the Emperor Mountain. Iâll have you know, thereâs quite a number of people that Chu Kuangren has crossed.â
Sha Wushe stopped his battle with Lan Yu after he spoke. Then, he turned around and walked towards the Emperor Mountainâs peak.
The most important thing now was to ascend the mountain and become an Emperor!
Although there were nine Emperorâs Thrones, countless sky-prides had arrived at the Emperor Mountain. Hence, even the outlawed sky-prides would have to fight for a spot on the thrones.
One after another, the other sky-prides started climbing the mountain.
âLetâs go.â
Lan Yu, Nangong Huang, and the others were about to set off.
âLan Yu, Nangong Huangâ¦â
At this time, a surprised voice suddenly sounded from behind them.
Two beautiful figures walked up to them.
âJunyi, Feiyan.â
Nangong Huang was a little surprised. They were two women, who were Black Heaven Sectâs Daoists, Jun Yi and Jin Feiyan.
âWeâve finally found you guys.â
Both of them were delighted to see Lan Yu and the others.
âHa! Howâs it going, everyone!â
Another two figures also appeared.
They were Zhuo Han and Qin Wushuang, who were Daoists of the Black Heaven Sect as well.
âYou guys are here too.â
âYeah. How can we not show up now that the Emperor Mountain has appeared?â
Lan Yu glanced at them with a smile on her cold face. âIt seems like all of you have gotten Opportunities of Fortune of your own too.â
She could sense that their auras were several times stronger than before they entered the Emperor Road. Compared to their previous selves, they were worlds apart in strength.
âLan Yu, everyone is saying that Sect Leader hasâ¦â
Jun Yi asked hesitantly.
âEveryone is saying that Master is dead,â Lan Yu replied before she looked at everyone and chuckled. âDo you truly believe that?â
âHmph, what a joke. Thereâs no way our Sect Leader is dead.â
âI donât believe it at all. Although trouble follows our Sect Leader, anyone would die except him. Never will I believe such nonsense.â
âThis news has gotten out of control. From what I can tell, our Sect Leader has only gone inside that rotten coffin for a few days. Heâll come out soon.â
The Black Heaven Sect gang said jokingly.
In their hearts, Chu Kuangren was almost an idol of worship.
âChu Kuangren will die?â
âWhat a joke.â
âIn this world, anyone might die, but Chu Kuangren will not!â
âCome, letâs head up the Emperor Mountain!â
Lan Yu turned and looked at the summit of the Emperor Mountain with a determined gaze.
With that, all of the sky-prides started climbing the Emperor Mountain.
It was the last trial for them to become an Emperor. On the Emperor Mountain, there were Opportunities of Fortune and dangers everywhere. Along the way, the sky-prides unleashed their own attacks and powers in face of those dangers.
In the Emperor Road, all of the orthodoxies and cultivators turned their eyes towards the Emperor Mountain, witnessing the greatest mountain climbing event to happen in history.
Meanwhile, the nine Emperor Thrones continued radiating with golden light at the peak of the Emperor Mountain and Daoist Patterns swirling around them, patiently waiting for the sky-pridesâ arrival.
