Chapter 1459: Chapter 354: The Top Hundred Contest Ends

"If it truly is so, even grasping just the basics could make you a powerful leader."

Emperor Chi whispered softly, his eyes briefly fixed on the young girl on the emperor platform.

Emperor Qin said indifferently, "This path was lost long ago, you’re overthinking it. If she truly has such great ambition, it comforts me."

Hearing his words, the others said no more, quietly watching the battles across the emperor platforms.

Aside from Li Hao’s emperor platform, the contention on other platforms was equally fierce.

In the battle of the top hundred, those aiming to guard an emperor platform inevitably incited the fury of other capable contenders, leading to joint attacks, resulting in intense battles on other platforms as well.

Only three emperor platforms were quiet at this time, with only ten people on them, the slots filled, and no one challenging them further.

"It seems there are quite a few interesting individuals this time. I hope the upcoming top hundred battles don’t disappoint me."𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Shen Wuji suppressed his emperor platform, his gaze sweeping over the displays on the other platforms. The contests among the many heavenly talents were far more exciting than any battles he had seen among his clan’s heavenly talents, igniting a fiery battle intent in his eyes.

His gaze swept over, noticing Li Hao’s emperor platform, where the spectators were actually lining up to challenge one by one, causing some surprise.

"That kid..."

Shen Wuji squinted slightly. Earlier, he sensed a terrifying fist aura emerging from that platform, prompting him to glance over, noticing it was Li Hao who made the move.

"However, that Fist Skill leaves something to be desired. I hope this isn’t your full strength."

Shen Wuji thought to himself.

"Only one slot remaining now, and also only one hour left."

On the emperor platform, Li Hao quietly watched the young man of the Nine Flower Immortal Seal continue to fight. The opponent’s swordsmanship was strong, but the incorporation of other Tao origins into his Sword Dao was somewhat lacking, which was why he couldn’t rank among the top heavenly talents.

Lin Qingyue, Yue Xi, and others sat beside Li Hao, watching the ongoing battles with complex expressions.

They realized that those challenging the young man of the Nine Flower Immortal Seal seemed mightier than themselves.

If not for Li Hao’s protection, competing for a spot in the top hundred this time would have been considerably difficult.

Gu Yan sat cross-legged, at this moment dispelling all distracting thoughts, concentrating fully on watching the young man’s battle. The sword techniques displayed continuously replayed in his mind, rapidly enhancing his own Sword Dao comprehension.

As the body of the Ancient Sword Immortal, his Perception in the Sword Dao was arguably the first in the True Realm. This emperor platform contention had already yielded him considerable gains.

As the emperor platform contest reached only half an hour remaining, a young man stepped forward to challenge the young man of the Nine Flower Immortal Seal.

After just a few rounds of fighting, he defeated the young man and secured the spot.

"Another expert!"

Lin Qingyue and the others’ eyes narrowed. Unlike Li Hao, the opponent defeated the young man without revealing the Immortal Seal.

"That seems to be the ninth-ranked Tai Kun Clan among the Hundred Races!"

Yue Xi whispered from behind Li Hao, her eyes extremely solemn.

Her clan stands at the bottom of the Hundred Races. During the time of the Heavenly Calamity Immortal Emperor, her clan was a major clan under his command, ranked in the top twenty, yet has been declining over the years.

After all, among the Ten Thousand Clans of the True Realm, the Hundred Races only occupy a mere hundred spots, making the competition incredibly fierce.

"So it’s the Tai Kun Clan, no wonder his blade technique was so domineering. It’s said the Tai Kun Clan’s physique is naturally ten thousand times that of the Human Race. At the same Final Realm of the physical body, they are ten thousand times stronger than the Human Race!"

A disciple from the Gun Yuan remarked.

His race was outside the Hundred Races, but he was quite familiar with matters within the Hundred Races, especially the top ten, currently exceedingly monstrous and formidable major clans in the True Realm, spread across the Four Domains. Even the Heavenly Palace Venerable treats the Tai Kun Clan with courtesy.

After all, standing in the top ten of the Hundred Races signifies that even if there is no Immortal Emperor inside, there are methods comparable to an Immortal Emperor, such as an Immortal Forbidden Emperor Artifact left by a former Immortal Emperor, or some ancient forbidden technique.

"The Tai Kun Clan!"

The young man of the Nine Flower Immortal Seal healed his physical body, gazing at the black-robed youth who defeated him with a gloomy face.

The suppression by racial bloodline left him unwilling to accept his loss, but there was nothing he could do.

"You’re called Haotian, right? Hope to meet you in the top ten."

After defeating the young man, the youth of the Tai Kun Clan turned away without looking back and said to Li Hao.

The Nine Flower Immortal Seal was not particularly rare within his clan.

It’s just that other clansmen grasped it later, with a soul life exceeding three thousand years.

This time coming here to compete, he did so partly at the command of his clan and also having heard someone from the Emperor Clan would participate, eager to test his luck against them.

After all, the chance to fight against the first among the Hundred Races, the Emperor Clan, is a rare opportunity.

"All right."

Hearing the challenge, Li Hao nodded with a smile.

The strength of the Tai Kun Clan was indeed extraordinary, something he also wanted to experience.

"Hmph."

The youth of the Tai Kun Clan snorted softly, then turned and sat at another part of the emperor platform.

"There’s not much time left for those not yet on the emperor platforms, you should hurry."

At this moment, the voice of the Immortal Guard Commander echoed.

The atmosphere outside the emperor platforms instantly became more tense, and many people looked at the young man of the Nine Flower Immortal Seal with unkind eyes.

The young man’s face changed slightly, his gaze coldly scanning around, not regarding this group hesitating to make the first move.

Soon, people continued to challenge, and the competition on each emperor platform became fierce.

Some attempted to test their luck on the three quiet platforms, but as soon as they stepped on, those above directly knocked them away without a chance to fight back.

"It’s almost over."

On the emperor platform, a green-dressed young woman looked at her senior brother, Sword Heart, and said, "After this Southern Domain contest ends, do you have any plans for the Primordial True Realm?"

"Master said the Original Immortal Venerable left three top secret techniques there, one of which is swordsmanship. I plan to study it."

Sword Heart replied.

"Same here."

The young woman nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping over the other emperor platforms, feeling a slight lack of interest, only giving a cursory glance to the quiet drinking youth, saying:

"Really hoping it ends soon, as the Emperor Clan guy might give us a good challenge."

Sword Heart glanced upon hearing this and nodded slightly.

Apart from that member of the Emperor Clan, he considered no one present worth noting.

Including the youth of the Ancient God Clan and a few other monstrous talents of major clans.

Soon, the emperor platform contention concluded.

In the few minutes leading to the end, competition on each platform became more frantic, and Li Hao’s platform also experienced some chaos, with others attempting to rush in at the last moment.

All of them on the platform, wanting to see how judgment would be made.

But Li Hao and the youth from the Tai Kun Clan, along with Qin Xiangyu, discerned their intent; as these individuals rushed into the platform, they rapidly took action and soon cleared them out.

The young man of the Nine Flower Immortal Seal ultimately held on to the end, claiming one spot.

As the voice of the Immortal Guard Commander rang out, the ten emperor platforms became enclosed by Barriers, and those outside could no longer enter.

Yet, on two platforms, fighting continued.

But the Immortal Guard Commander anticipated such a situation and announced a prohibition on anyone else entering until ten people remained within each.

Those who tried to rush onto the emperor platforms last minute were quickly driven out, unable to seize a spot.

"Congratulations on making it to the top hundred in the Southern Domain!"

As the ten emperor platforms returned to calm, the Immortal Guard Commander’s words rang out triumphantly, resonating through the Southern Domain and causing many who had made it to breathe a sigh of relief.

"All of them made it in!"

Outside, Li Tie Mu expressed surprise, not expecting Li Hao to not only succeed in reaching the top hundred but also to bring Yue Xi, Gu Yan, and others along.

This time, the Dream Nine Abyss Sect had as many as six people in the top hundred!

To know, other sects like the Tianyi Sect had only two or three people proceed.
