The Bloodthirst Continent.

On the vast and prosperous ancient continent, inhabited by billions of clans, numerous Emperor-level powerhouses emerged. Thanks to the influence of Long Yi, these Emperors were formidable, including one of the tier 5.

At this time, the indigenous Emperors of the Bloodthirst Continent clashed with the foreign Emperors from the Original Universe. Both sides were relentless. In the Original Universe’s five major domains, there were tens of thousands of Emperors. Even facing a tier 5 Emperor, confronting so many powerful beings was intimidating. After all, they had never ventured beyond the Bloodthirst Continent, and their knowledge of external Emperors might not be as extensive.

“You outsiders, if not for Lord God, I would have slaughtered you long ago!’ The indigenous tier 5 Emperor’s eyes gleamed with murderous intent. These foreign Emperors had gone too far. In just a few years, they had divided the Bloodthirst Continent into several factions, disrupting the order that had lasted for countless years.

On the side of the Original Universe, it wasn’t the Ultimate Emperor leading but the five peak forces of the Eternal Tower. They stood together, confronting the indigenous Emperors.

“Hmph, it’s been almost ten years since we came in, and we haven’t gained any benefits. They’ve treated us like beggars, teleporting us to this ancient continent,” one of them sneered.

“I say, why not start the battle? Let’s directly wipe out this ancient continent. I don’t believe that Dragon One won’t show up then.”

“No, the opponent is too powerful. The strength of that Azure Dragon Envoy is overwhelming! ‘

“But what should we do? We’ve come, and we can’t keep waiting here forever!

We can’t get out even if we want to.”

The representatives of the five peak forces, along with the shadows of all Fourth Rank Emperors, floated within the Eternal Tower, discussing their situation.

Ever since they entered the Qishen Temple, they had been transported to the

Bloodthirst Continent. The envoy from the Azure Dragon Temple had just left them with a sentence, telling them to wait patiently, and then ignored them.

These Emperors, who were leaders in their own domains, couldn’t endure this situation. It had been ten years, and they felt like ants on a hot pan, unable to find peace even for meditation.

Except for the brief encounter when they first arrived, the envoy hadn’t appeared again. He had simply thrown them into the sky above the Bloodthirst Continent.

The beginning was fine; after all, it was an ancient continent. They explored everywhere, but the remnants on the continent had already been thoroughly excavated by others. There were no valuable treasures or legacies left to discover.

This frustrated them. They knew that within the Qishen Temple, there were many worlds. The temple itself was even a universe. They didn’t mind a continent, but without any explanations, they grew impatient. So, they started to stir things up on the Bloodthirst Continent.

Inside the Eternal Tower, the most powerful Emperors from the entire universe gathered. With just a word, they would erupt, plunging the entire divine land into the darkness of the void.

“Everyone, make a decision!” said Demon Lord Fengyu, who sat at the highest point of the Eternal Tower’s central area, her voice resonating with authority.

Either force that messenger to appear now, or keep waiting endlessly!

If they continued waiting, stronger beings from other universes would arrive, making their competition even fiercer.

“Fengyu, are you sure you don’t want Senior Shang to intervene in this matter?” a worried Emperor, also a leader of a peak-level force, inquired.

In the Original Universe, there were many Emperors, but currently, there was only one tier 5 Emperor who remained behind. He was the Ultimate Emperor, ‘Shang% a figure with countless legends. He freely traveled through the River of Time, a supreme being who made countless strong individuals bow their heads in reverence—the Ultimate Emperor ‘Shang’.

Although his current strength was only at the tier 5, his potential and origin source were the strongest in the entire universe. Even the tier 6 Emperors in other universes couldn’t match him.

Normally, after perfecting the second-grade origin source Great Dao, one could reach the tier 5 Emperor. The requirements for tier 6 Emperors were even higher.

Within the River of Time, only a few tier 6 Emperors existed. They were the ones who had reached the limit of the second-grade Dao and had created their own universe-secret techniques, becoming tier 6 Emperors.

There were also Emperors who had the Ultimate Dao, merging myriad Daoos, becoming tier 6 Emperors.

These individuals were the true powerhouses.

Ordinary tier 6 Emperors could, at most, explore the universe and create universe-secret techniques. But Ultimate Beings were different. They could elevate their origin source to the level of the universe’s origin source. From their own origin source, they could create universe-secret techniques tailored for themselves, paving the way for their future ascension as Universe Masters.

This was why True Spirit valued ‘Shang so highly.

In the Original Universe, many Emperors were unaware of the reasons behind this, but the Ultimate Dao was clear to them: a tier 5 Emperor, the pinnacle of existence, was beyond their reach.

“Humph! Senior Shang is not on the same level as us at all. Relying on him to stand up for us? Are you out of your mind?” Chishui’s face darkened as he sneered openly.

Chishui, who had ascended to the same level as Shang in ancient times, had clashed with Shang even back then. When they were at the same tier, Chishui, as the most exceptional Special Life Force, could challenge Shang. But as the Ultimate Dao grew stronger in the later stages, Special Life Foorms tended to get stuck at a certain point due to insufficient enlightenment, making it impossible for them to compare with the Ultimate Dao.

At that time, Shang had just advanced to tier 4, while Chishui was still at the peak of the tier 3. He had fallen behind Shang due to his lack of acceptance and had resorted to a fierce battle because of a secret realm.

Ultimately, he stopped only when his body was on the brink of collapse.

After that battle, Chishui had become more subdued, realizing he was no match for Shang. He focused on repairing his divine body within a universe’s secret realm. After tens of thousands of chaos cycles, his divine body was fully restored, and he also advanced to tier 4 as an Emperor. Shang returned from his travels in the River of Time and immediately broke through to the tier 5 emperor.

From then on, Chishui had truly given up!

This secret inscription was known to very few, only the leaders of a few peak forces like Demon Lord Fengyu were aware of it. Nevertheless, no one would mention it at this moment. Despite Chishui’s shamelessness at other times, Shang had always been his sore spot.

The Emperor who had spoken out knew he had said the wrong thing. Despite being somewhat unhappy with Chishui’s taunts, he understood it wasn’t the time for internal conflicts.

Behind Demon Lord Fengyu and the others stood tier 5 Emperors. Originally, they didn’t intend for Shang to intervene, so they had no objections to Chishui’s words.

“In that case, let’s proceed with the plan and take over this continent first!” Demon Lord Fengyu declared after glancing at everyone.

They had secretly discussed their strategy these past few days. Since the Qishen Temple had opened and transported tens of thousands of Emperors here, it must serve a significant purpose. Even if they captured this continent, the envoy wouldn’t dare to confront them directly.

“Fengyu, go ahead and take action! I’ve long been displeased with those native Emperors. They’ve acquired so many treasures yet their strength is still so pitiful. It’s a total waste of resources..”
