The Holy Emperor Palace stood on the edge of the Eastern Sea. By this time, the golden light of the Great Dao had disappeared, and the Great Dao's melody had also dissipated, but it was still the most eye-catching place in Spirit Continent.
The strong cultivators of Spirit Continent were very curious about this newly advanced "Immortal Emperor" powerhouse. This person was so young, his talent and aptitude must be unmatched throughout the ages. Such a genius should have revealed his brilliance early on and been known to the world. But strangely, they had never heard of such a person.
Something's not right!
"The Divine Court is here!"
The strong cultivators who were watching this place instantly sensed the arrival of the Divine Court's Immortal Emperor. They also knew very little about the Divine Court, only that it followed the will of "Heaven" to supervise all things in the world, but never interfered in the struggles between various races.
There was once a ruthless person who wanted to overthrow the Divine Court, but the Divine Court sent three Immortal Emperors to kill that ruthless person. Since then, no one dared to touch the Divine Court's beard.
However, everyone guessed that there might be existences beyond the Immortal Emperor hidden within the Divine Court.
And every time someone from the Divine Court descended, it was a major event.
"His talent is very strong. He has been noticed by the Divine Court. The Divine Court's arrival this time is probably to guide him!"
"Perhaps he can break through the shackles of the Immortal Emperor!"
Immortal Emperor-level divine thoughts crisscrossed in the void, weaving into a net. They were all discussing, believing that the Divine Court Immortal Emperor's reward was to guide this newly advanced young "Immortal Emperor."
Because such a thing had happened more than once. Back then, the ruthless person who wanted to pry the Divine Court had also been recruited by the Divine Court.
But today, how will this young Emperor choose?
The divine thoughts of many Immortal Emperor powerhouses in Spirit Continent were communicating. The Divine Court Immortal Emperor could also sense the information within them, and Ling Tian naturally could as well.
In the distant horizon, a figure wearing a purple cloud divine robe appeared. He strolled leisurely, as if walking in his own backyard. He was the Immortal Emperor of the Divine Court, responsible for guiding Ling Tian.
Now, the desolate and wild land was indeed their own backyard for the Divine Court and the Central Divine Realm, a place used to raise creatures and harvest faith.
Therefore, the Immortal Emperor of the Divine Court was very comfortable, exuding a sense of superiority all over his body.
These creatures are so pitiful!
Although they were both Immortal Emperors, he could still naturally show pity for the Immortal Emperors of the desolate and wild land.
Arrived!
The Divine Court Immortal Emperor arrived not far from Ling Tian. He looked at Ling Tian and revealed a satisfied smile, saying, "Not bad, not bad, you even know to greet me proactively. Just this point alone is much better than that arrogant and conceited person back then."
Ling Tian smiled meaningfully upon hearing this, but did not speak.
The Divine Court Immortal Emperor continued, "Holy Emperor Palace? You have quite the ambition, but with the talent you have shown, after entering my Divine Court, you may well become a true 'Emperor'!"
"Enough with the nonsense. If you have no unfinished worldly affairs, follow me back to the Divine Court now and pay respects to the Divine Lord!"
"I have unfinished worldly affairs," Ling Tian said, his tone indifferent.
"Oh? What is it? I might be able to help. Oh, right, I still don't know your name!" The Divine Court Immortal Emperor said with interest. With the talent Ling Tian had shown, his future promotion to Breaking Dao was a certainty. He naturally had to curry favor with Ling Tian before he became Breaking Dao, otherwise, he would have no chance later.
"My name is Ling Tian. As for what it is, you can indeed help, and that is to take your life!"
"Boom!"
As soon as Ling Tian said this, thunder rumbled in the sky and the earth. Not only was the Divine Court Immortal Emperor unable to believe what he had heard, but even the other Immortal Emperors who had been watching this place felt as if they had been struck by a bolt from the blue.
Ling Tian? Surpassing Heaven, how dare he take this name? Wasn't this clearly opposing the Divine Court? You must know that the Divine Court was a behemoth that supervised all things in the world under the will of Heaven.
"You...how dare you! How dare you take such a rebellious name!" The Divine Court Immortal Emperor was immediately furious, and even subconsciously forgot Ling Tian's latter words about taking his life. This showed just how taboo Ling Tian's name was.
After the shock and fury, the Divine Court Immortal Emperor made a bold move.
In an instant, purple energy came from the east. The Divine Court Immortal Emperor was covered in dense purple energy. He stood proudly in the void, with a road of runes constructed from the Great Dao beneath his feet. Around him, the long river of time emerged, like an emperor overlooking the ages. His aura suddenly expanded to the extreme.
"Three hundred billion years or four hundred billion years ago, there was also a young Immortal Emperor who claimed to be invincible, and was just as arrogant as you, but in the end, he died before the ages, never to be reborn!"
"You dare to be so rebellious. Today, I will suppress you and make you empty for all eternity!"
The Divine Court Immortal Emperor's killing intent permeated the air. Those who were rebellious must be诛杀(zhū shā, be put to death).
With every opening and closing of his eyes, the stars in the heavens turned to dust. He stretched out a hand, and his palm suddenly grew larger, grabbing towards Ling Tian, wanting to crush Ling Tian's head.
This Divine Court Immortal Emperor was one of the three Emperors who had killed that ruthless person. His hands were stained with Immortal Emperor blood, his killing intent was awe-inspiring, and he was incomparably domineering. Even the Immortal Emperors watching this scene could not help but sigh. They had to admit that this Divine Court Immortal Emperor was very strong. Even if they were both Immortal Emperors, they were not confident that they could defeat the true Divine Court Immortal Emperor in a one-on-one situation.
The Divine Court is too strong.
It's a pity that this newly advanced "Immortal Emperor" is too arrogant. He actually named himself Ling Tian, and even threatened to take the life of the Divine Court Immortal Emperor. Even that ruthless person back then wasn't as arrogant as him!
That ruthless person only dared to challenge the Divine Court after defeating all the Immortal Emperors in the four regions!
Everyone was not optimistic about Ling Tian. Although he was young and had unlimited possibilities in the future, his youth also meant that he had not fully comprehended the Immortal Emperor realm.
The result was self-evident when a strong person who had completely comprehended the Immortal Emperor faced a strong person who had just advanced to Immortal Emperor.
"Hehe... Serves him right!"
A creature sneered in the dark. This was an Immortal Emperor of the Demon Race. The Demon Race and the Human Race had been at odds since ancient times. The emergence of another Immortal Emperor in the Human Race meant one more threat to the Demon Race. Now that this Immortal Emperor dared to provoke the Divine Court's divine power, he was naturally happy.
"Alas!"
Some Human Race Immortal Emperors sighed regretfully. They wanted to help Ling Tian, but they did not dare to face the Divine Court directly.
"Rumble!"
Before the big hand could get close, many extraterritorial stars were affected by the aura of the Great Dao and were now gasified and turned into nothingness.
"Bang!"
But at this moment, a golden tower appeared, blocking the Divine Court Immortal Emperor's attack.
This tower seemed to have one layer, but also seemed to have countless layers. It seemed to be only three zhang (丈, approximately meters) high, but it seemed to reach straight into the sky!
On the front of the tower, three ancient characters were engraved.
Tong Tian Tower!
