"Emperor Qingfeng is truly the strongest emperor throughout the ages. Even in the tens of millions of years to come, it’s likely that no emperor will be able to compare!"
An ancient Quasi Emperor looked at Xia Tianjun who was undergoing tribulation, suddenly sighed and showed a bitter smile.
Being in the same era as such a powerful figure is not entirely a good thing.
The brilliance of Emperor Qingfeng eclipses everything, even a formidable contender for the Emperor Realm like Xia Tianjun appears dull and unremarkable before him.
Soon, it was spread everywhere.
In various galaxies, the name Gu Qingfeng was like a huge mountain, weighing down the hearts of many foreign realm forces, making them unable to truly breathe.
Now, the foreign realm forces faced two paths.
Second, a desperate struggle.
But when they recalled Gu Qingfeng’s scene where he single-handedly suppressed nine emperors, the courage that finally rose in their hearts dissipated instantly.
A desperate struggle!
What could they gamble with?
Facing a foe more terrifying than even the Taiyi Divine Lord, even if they exhaust all the foundations of the foreign realms, it’s estimated they might not be able to resist him.
Let’s take a step back.
Even if they could win.
It would be a Pyrrhic victory.
At that time, how many foreign realm forces would be annihilated in this battle, and would any of those annihilated forces be their own?
Nobody wishes to make a bride’s dress for others.
"It’s infuriating how the Ancient Desolate World constantly produces strong figures, one Taiyi Divine Lord during Ancient Times, one Mystic Emperor during Ancient Times, and now Gu Qingfeng.
Why does the Heavenly Dao fortune always favor the Ancient Desolate World while ignoring us!"
A foreign realm emperor was filled with resentment, raising his head to question the Heavenly Dao, but received no response.
In the Ancient Desolate World.
Within the Divine Martial Capital.
Gu Yang looked at the intelligence report, unable to suppress his smile.
"Excellent, excellent, excellent! Father’s battle to slay nine foreign realm emperors finally brings our Divine Martial’s chance to unify the universe!"
It was impossible for Gu Yang not to be happy.
After battling the foreign realms for hundreds of years, though Divine Martial held the advantage, it came at a considerable price.
If things continued , even if the war persisted for another thousand years, it would be difficult to truly quell it.
But now things are different.
Gu Qingfeng stepped forward to suppress everything.
All wars were completely quelled.
Though no message has arrived from the foreign realm forces, Gu Yang could be sure they lacked the courage to wage war against Divine Martial again.
It is already the only path available to the foreign realms.
At this point, Gu Yang increasingly understood the importance of top-tier power; a being powerful enough could change everything.
Look at how the protracted war was resolved by Gu Qingfeng alone.
Gu Yi spoke: "Emperor, the Jinyi Guard suspects they’ve found the whereabouts of the Demon Realm!"
Gu Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling a sense of twin joys.
Gu Yi said: "More than a dozen Jinyi Guards have gone missing in the chaos, and according to their reports, they all vanished in the same star system.
Though the Jinyi Guard’s strength isn’t formidable, for more than a dozen to disappear at once, and all in the same place, it very likely has to do with the Demon Realm."
"It does seem to be quite possible!"
Even if it’s not the Demon Realm, any foreign realm force daring to kill cultivators of the Jinyi Guard should face a cost.
Gu Yang ordered: "Continue sending cultivators to investigate there, if it’s confirmed that the disappearance of the Jinyi Guard relates to that star system, whether it’s the location of the Demon Realm or not, I will flatten it!"
As he finished the last words, Gu Yang’s expression turned much harsher.
Having held a high position for many years, he had long developed the emperor’s dominance and decisiveness.
Anyone who dares harm Divine Martial’s people must pay the price.
Gu Yi accepted the order and retreated.
The fall of nine foreign realm emperors was still fermenting, even the news of Xia Tianjun achieving Emperor hadn’t stirred much of a ripple.
In the past, with a new emperor emerging, it would have caused earth-shaking commotion.
All forces focused their attention on the Divine Martial Gu Family.
"One person suppressing the foreign realm, Emperor Qingfeng’s power already surpasses that of the Taiyi Divine Lord back in the day!"
In the Ancient Xia Family, Xia Tianjun, having recently achieved Emperor, now returned here, looking towards the direction of Ancestor State, where an overwhelming presence caused even him, an emperor, to feel deeply uneasy.
Witnessing firsthand how Gu Qingfeng single-handedly suppressed the nine foreign realm emperors, Xia Tianjun realized the gap between them; even after breaking through to the Emperor Realm, it hadn’t shrunk at all.
After all, of those nine foreign realm emperors, even any one of them would be far from easy for Xia Tianjun to truly suppress with his current strength.
Among them, some of the more powerful emperors like the Red Dust Emperor were difficult for Xia Tianjun to rival.
These strong figures could not withstand a single move from Gu Qingfeng.
The gap between them is imaginable.
One man suppressing one universe.
This level of power, Xia Tianjun could only look up to.
"I would indeed like to witness Emperor Lichen!"
A slight smile curled on Xia Tianjun’s lips, he considered himself no match for Gu Qingfeng, but if faced with Emperor Lichen, it might be different.
There’s a difference between the third and second on the Supreme List.
If he could advance further, Xia Tianjun would surely be pleased.
He looked at Xia Qiuqiu before him, saying: "You for me spread the word, three days later, I will battle him at the ruins of the Tai Chu Ancient Land, determining the ownership of the Supreme List’s second!"
"Old Ancestor challenges Emperor Lichen!"
Xia Qiuqiu’s expression registered shock, then great joy.
In his view, since Xia Tianjun dared to speak, he must have ample confidence.
Now, due to Gu Qingfeng’s suppression of the foreign realm emperors, Xia Tianjun’s achievement of Emperor hadn’t stirred much commotion.
Now if he battles Emperor Lichen and ultimately suppresses him, the Ancient Xia Family would certainly be renowned once again in the Ancient Desolate World.
Upon receiving Xia Tianjun’s order, Xia Qiuqiu did not delay, promptly spreading this news.
As Xia Tianjun’s challenge to Emperor Lichen spread, many cultivators in the Ancient Desolate World focused their attention on the Ancient Xia Family.
"Interesting, one is a newly ascended emperor, the other is an ancient emperor, these two top-three Supreme List figures vying, who will triumph!"
Many strong figures had a slight gleam in their eyes, very much looking forward to this battle.
Talking about underlying foundation.
Emperor Lichen as an ancient emperor naturally surpasses a newly ascended emperor.
But Xia Tianjun is not just any newly ascended emperor; he possesses the accomplished Heavenly Tao Body, and before achieving Emperor, already had the strength to contend with other emperors.
Now, having achieved Emperor, Xia Tianjun’s power is bound to be stronger.
Thus, both parties fighting promises to be a battle of two titans, victory uncertain.
Within the Gu Family, Gu Qingfeng, having received this news, was somewhat surprised.
Before him, Gu Fengchen inquisitively asked.
"What does Old Ancestor think, who will win between these two?"
"Barring any surprises, it should be Xia Tianjun!"
Gu Qingfeng responded without hesitation.
Gu Fengchen’s expression changed: "Old Ancestor has such confidence in Xia Tianjun?"
"Don’t underestimate the Heavenly Tao Body, moreover, Xia Tianjun’s power isn’t simply that of a newly ascended emperor; although Lichen is an ancient emperor, his power isn’t particularly strong.
This battle, Xia Tianjun will win, though not easily!"
Gu Qingfeng paused, then looked at Gu Fengchen.
"Your Star Tao Body is also remarkable, if one day you reach the Emperor Realm, your power is destined to crush most emperors!"
