Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 1831: Chapter 482: True King (Part 2)

The destined battle from one hundred thousand years ago seems to have truly replayed.

"Qinghuang, send Xiao Wu and Miss Shi Miao back. Wushe and I will go to see Xiao Wu."

After a brief shock, Gu Mofan regained his composure and immediately said in a deep voice.

Zhan Qinghuang was taken aback but immediately said, "Are you going to join the battle? I’m coming with you!"

Although the master advised them only to bring Li Hao back, upon witnessing the scene before them and knowing Long Qingge was still here, they wanted to make a move and fight.

"Don’t be rash, send Xiao Wu back first. Otherwise, if something happens, we can escape, but Xiao Wu cannot. Don’t forget the master’s orders!"

Gu Mofan frowned and said.

Zhan Qinghuang, being the prodigy of the Zhan family, had a nature rooted in combat. Their ancestors once fought against the Heavenly Dao, sealing their surname as "Zhan." It’s imaginable how fervent the Zhan family is toward battle, making her unwilling to retreat.

"You know it’s the master’s order. Big brother, if you want to go back, you go back. I’m not going."

Zhan Qinghuang said with a stern face.

She didn’t persuade the second brother beside her because she knew that the Emperor Clan was even prouder and wouldn’t back down.

"None of you should act."

Amidst their argument, Shi Miao spoke up.

The three turned their gaze towards Shi Miao, slightly furrowing their brows.

Though Shi Miao was only at the Fourth Level of Immortal King Realm, facing Li Hao’s three senior brothers and sisters, she showed no sign of fear and calmly said, "Currently, only one Emperor is involved in the battle. But given the slyness of the Ancient Demons, they won’t have sent just one Emperor to attack. Other Ancient Demon Emperors are likely lurking, waiting in the shadows. It’s not necessarily the fiercest moment yet. If you join the battle and disrupt the balance, a second Emperor will likely engage soon!"

Upon hearing her words, the three were stunned, each looking at the other, their expressions turning grim upon seeing the scene before them.

Indeed, Shi Miao’s words made much sense; there couldn’t be only one Ancient Demon Emperor present.

"If I recall correctly, there’s a teleportation array within Ancestral Dragon City connected to the Ancestor Dragon Court. The city has held out likely because of the continuous flow of soldiers being teleported over there to fight and die. This battle is just the prelude; only when at least three Ancient Demon Emperors make a move will victory or defeat be truly determined!"

Shi Miao said in a deep voice, like a seasoned general calmly assessing the situation.

"You three are all at the Quasi-Emperor Realm and are esteemed disciples of the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor. The most pressing matter now is to quickly break through to Emperor level and perfect your Emperor Road, not to risk your lives here. If you’re injured, even if you don’t die, it would take substantial time to recover. When will you become Emperors then? If the Ancient Demons break through the Eastern Domain and begin to sweep across the entire True Realm, will you face them with your current level of cultivation?"

Shi Miao glanced at the three of them, speaking word by word.

Though her cultivation level was not as high as theirs, her words at that moment sounded like those of an elder: calm and serious, carrying a slight sternness.

Li Hao watched in amazement from the side, seeing for the first time Shi Miao’s commanding presence and strategic insight, so different from her usual gentle demeanor. Like a monarch overlooking from a perilous tower, she exuded an aura of dominance and cold rationality.

Upon hearing Shi Miao’s words, Gu Mofan and the others felt conflicted. They knew of Shi Miao’s status and hadn’t seen such a commanding attitude from her before. Her words reminded them of the master’s advice, echoing Shi Miao’s sentiment to quickly perfect their Emperor Dao before the real catastrophe descends and breakthrough and ascend to Emperor status.

They looked up at the battlefield before them, where dozens of Quasi-Emperors were present, and hundreds with Immortal King Realm Perfection. In a war aiming to conquer the vast Eastern Domain, the Quasi-Emperors alone could not determine victory. Only the Emperor could have the capability to influence the battle, though only influencing, not deciding.

After all, one Emperor alone could not conquer the Eastern Domain.

The True Realm accommodates the Ten Thousand Clans; merely the starry expanse of the Eastern Domain reaches unimaginable vastness, impossible for one Emperor to suppress.

"Emperor Road..."

Di Wushe clenched his fist. His Emperor Road had been blocked for twenty thousand years, yet he hadn’t broken through the final threshold. Talking about breaking through and ascending is easier said than done.

Throughout history, countless prodigies have been stuck at that final chasm, forced to yield beneath the Emperors, unable to roam freely.

At this moment, Gu Mofan had already calmed down. He took a deep breath, glanced at Shi Miao, and said, "Miss Shi Miao is right. Wushe, Qinghuang, you two take Xiao Wu back. I’ll go to Ancestral Dragon City, meet with the fifth brother, and express our determination from Extreme Dao Mountain to aid them. I won’t join the battle, you can be assured."

"I..."

Di Wushe wanted to speak, but Gu Mofan stopped him with a raised hand.

Being from the Emperor Clan, he was unwilling to come to this battlefield only to retreat.

"Junior Brother!"

Gu Mofan’s heavy words interrupted him, his eyes fixated on him.

Seeing Gu Mofan’s gaze, Di Wushe slightly opened his mouth, still wanting to speak, but eventually swallowed his words, saying in a deep voice, "Then be careful; we’ll head back first."

Zhan Qinghuang saw his compromise and could only sigh without saying more.

Gu Mofan waved his hand, opening a Chaos channel for them, directly leading to the Primordial True Realm. After they entered one by one, he turned around and headed towards Ancestral Dragon City.

Shortly after Li Hao and others left, from the other side of the battlefield, a sword’s hum echoed through the starry sky, accompanied by Su Jiuzhe’s laughter. A vast wave of Demon Blood suddenly sprayed from the black hole, and any military formation carelessly touched by the Demon Blood was immediately corroded and dissolved on the spot.
