Chapter 1113: Human Race Ruler, Mysterious Underworld Great Emperor

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The over 600 top powerhouses who had returned from previous eras became Paramount Starlords of the Imperial Court.

While this was basically just a title put on these people, their motive was actually to make this convenient for them in the future. However, there was one undeniable truth in them joining: The reputation of the Imperial Court instantly swelled.

Over 1,000 Taishi Yuan Venerates and more than 600 Taichu Yuan Venerates had joined. When the Imperial Court publicly announced its name list, it would be quite a powerful deterrent.

In the eyes of many people, the colossal Imperial Court already couldn’t be offended or disobeyed.

The Heavenly Court of Tianding Realm paled in comparison.

Although they had the support of six half-step Taiyi Yuan Venerates, how could so many Paramount Starlords not make the Heavenly Court lower its head?

Even though Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky and the others knew that these Paramount Starlords were merely Luo Yunyang’s subordinates in name and Luo Yunyang basically couldn’t order them, it still made them feel uncomfortable.

The establishment of the Imperial Court was well underway. If the five great sacred halls provided the foundations and over 800 newly-ascended Yuan Venerates, everything would be progressing smoothly.

In just half a year, the entire Imperial Court was more or less established.

Even though Luo Yunyang was the Human Ruler, he was actually not too worried about the establishment of the Imperial Court.

Luo Yunyang’s main inclination was cultivation. However at such a level, even making a tiny bit of progress was extremely difficult.

Luo Yunyang had already reached the limits of his Universe Breaking cultivation. While it couldn’t be said that there was no way of progressing, Luo Yunyang really didn’t have any good ideas at this point.

Knowing that it would already be very difficult to improve just by relying on his own strength, he’d started to have exchanges with Jin Wudi and the other returning powerhouses in hopes of learning new ways of comprehension from them.

Golden Deity Jin Wudi and the others didn’t decline these exchanges on cultivation. Firstly, Luo Yunyang’s cultivation base wasn’t inferior to theirs, and secondly, they still had to show some respect to the Human Ruler.

On the surface, they were still Luo Yunyang’s subordinates.

Every Great Era had its own glory. Although the Human Race’s cultivation bases appeared more or less the same, in fact, each Great Era had its own different weaknesses.

These differences were basically the essentials of this cultivation.

While Luo Yunyang didn’t obtain the supreme secret arts that the Golden Deity and the others cultivated from these exchanges, he managed to learn different ways of comprehension that gave him an unprecedented awareness of his own cultivation.

Luo Yunyang’s greatest gain was exploring the path of becoming a Taiyi Yuan Venerate.

According to the Golden Deity and the others, they had only been at the Taiyi Yuan Venerate in the various Great Eras they were from.

For a new Taiyi Yuan Venerate to appear, they would have to attack the Mysterious Underworld Race, the Divine Incarcerate Race, and other enemy races. Only by destroying the Mysterious Underworld Race or the Divine Incarcerate Race would there be a possibility of a second Taiyi Yuan Venerate appearing.

Although this wasn’t certain, according to the returnees, a second or third Yuan Venerate would only appear after they defeated the races that were subordinates of the mastermind behind the scenes.

The Bronze Monarch’s words caused Luo Yunyang to think the most. According to the Bronze Monarch, Taiyi Yuan Venerates controlled natural heaven law.

A race within a Great Era would only be allocated one natural heaven law and one Taiyi Yuan Venerate.

A second Taiyi Yuan Venerate would require seizing a natural heaven law belonging to another race and achieving the Taiyi Yuan Venerate in the process.

While all sorts of thoughts and ideas were going through his mind, an immense sense of danger suddenly appeared.

In an instant, Luo Yunyang sensed that this intense sense of danger didn’t originate from his own body but rather from the Chaotic Four-Origin Beast clone embodiment.

Or rather, it came from Nalanye, who was situated in the Mysterious Underworld Race.

While Luo Yunyang was consolidating the Human Race’s strength, Nalanye hadn’t been idle either. Following the death of the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master, Deputy Hall Master Nalanye had already started to wield the majority of Sky Martial Underworld Hall’s authority.

Nalanye, who possessed the strongest cultivation base, had become Hall Master of Sky Martial Underworld Hall and continued waging war against the Ancient Underworld Hall Master under the guise of taking revenge for the former hall master.

Because Luo Yunyang’s main body had come out of seclusion, Nalanye’s strength had increased so much that even Ancient Underworld Hall and its two allied halls were constantly pushed back.

When Luo Yunyang sensed this danger, Nalanye was leading the Sky Gold Underworld Hall Master, the Sky Moon Underworld Hall Master, and some others to encircle the space around Ancient Underworld Hall.

Although killing the Ancient Underworld Hall Master wasn’t an easy thing to accomplish, they would absolutely be able to wipe out at least half of Ancient Underworld Hall if they continued to press on.

Nalanye had already succeeded the position of the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master and become the leader of their three-party alliance.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that he was already on the verge of becoming the ruler of the Mysterious Underworld Race. However, as everything was progressing smoothly, Luo Yunyang sensed a huge threat looming.

He wasn’t the only one who sensed it. The Sky Gold and the Sky Moon Underworld Hall Masters, who were beside Nalanye, didn’t look too good either.

They had also felt this threatening sensation and sensed that it would be difficult for them to escape. Although they were high and mighty most of the time, they now felt like mayflies in the face of such a crisis.

“It’s... It’s the First Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord!” The Sky Gold Underworld Hall Master stuttered.

The First Yuan Underworld Lord was the entity that had gone into slumber after establishing the six great underworld halls. According to legend, he was the Patriarch of the Mysterious Underworld Race.

Luo Yunyang’s clone embodiment had already climbed to a top position in the Mysterious Underworld Race. However, he hadn’t heard much regarding the First Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord.

The reason he had killed the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master was because of the First Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord. Now, as he was surrounding Ancient Underworld Hall, this being had appeared again.

He had not appeared in many years and hadn’t even issued any decrees even when the Second Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord’s inheritance had been disgraced.

His reemergence gave Luo Yunyang a strong premonition that the final war between the Human Race and the Mysterious Underworld Race was imminent!

“You are Nalanye?” A placid voice like still water spoke. However, this calming voice carried power, as if the owner had control over life and death.

One could say that Nalanye, with the support of Luo Yunyang’s main body, had a cultivation base at the peak of the Taichu Yuan Venerate. However, while facing this interrogation, he felt as if he was being bound by a formless power.

He even felt incapable of retaliating in the face of this power.

“Nalanye pays his respects to the Underworld Lord.” Luo Yunyang steeled his mind and bowed before the First Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord.

“I already asked you all to stop fighting. Why did you still encircle Ancient Underworld Hall? Do you know how many Mysterious Underworld martialists will die because of this?”

Luo Yunyang heaved a huge sigh of relief. Regardless of what was said, as long as the First Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord didn’t kill him without giving him a chance to explain, Luo Yunyang would have a chance of redeeming himself.

“My lord, Sky Martial Underworld Hall violated your orders, but we only did so because we were forced to.” Nalanye acted like he had been severely wronged as he continued speaking. “Our Hall Master had already ceased fighting the moment he received your order and had been preparing to negotiate for peace with Ancient Underworld Hall.”

“However, while he was in the process of heading over to negotiate, he was slain by Ancient Underworld Hall.”

“Sky Martial Underworld Hall really had no way of negotiating with them under the circumstances. The only thing we could do was get revenge!”

The First Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord scoffed. “Did you see the Ancient Underworld Hall Master doing it?”

“I was guarding Sacred Underworld City at the time. I only found out about the hall master’s death from a subordinate afterward.”

Luo Yunyang purposely made himself sound very bitter. “Given our hall master’s cultivation base, I don’t know who else besides the Ancient Underworld Hall Master could have ambushed him.”

“Alright, I can testify that this wasn’t done by the Ancient Underworld Hall Master. As for who the culprit is, I will definitely get to the bottom of it for you all.”

The First Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord said with a hint of disdain, “A great calamity is about to begin. Only by seeing this great calamity through will we be able to obtain the greatest benefits.”

“I order you all to immediately stop killing and work with a common purpose to defeat the Human Race,” the First Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord said sternly. “I will take your lives if I find out that you are still killing each other.”

Although Luo Yunyang had steeled himself mentally, he still felt like trembling when he heard the voice of the Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord.

The might of a Taiyi Yuan Venerate really wasn’t something a Taichu Yuan Venerate could compare to.

Luo Yunyang quickly got to work as he glanced at the empty void above him. He paused for a moment before saying, “My lord, if you hand this assignment over to me, I can definitely accomplish it.”

“You wish to lead the Mysterious Underworld Race?” The First Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord’s tone was slightly cold.

“Indeed, my lord. The strongest has always been the king of the Mysterious Underworld Race. The Ancient Underworld Lord has already been defeated by Sky Martial Underworld Hall. It would be a great joke if we were to be subservient to them!”

Nalanye continued speaking fearlessly. “I will naturally abide by my lord’s commands. However, if Sky Martial Underworld Hall martialists are unconvinced, we will only be able to give about a 30% to 40% effort. If I were to lead the Mysterious Underworld Race, why would the defeated Ancient Underworld Hall remain unconvinced?”

The Sky Gold Underworld Hall Master and the Sky Moon Underworld Hall Master both felt a little nervous. Nalanye was a newborn calf. To think that he would dare negotiate terms with the First Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord.

Haggling over terms was akin to committing suicide most of the time!

“Alright, I will give you this chance,” the First Ancient Underworld Hall Master said heavily. “From this day on, you will be the Mysterious Underworld Great Emperor and you will command the entire Mysterious Underworld Race!”
