Chapter 1162 - Victory Through Might

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Huo Yan had a look of disbelief on his face as well; his strongest strike had been blocked so easily. Because of his arrogant personality, he felt even more discouraged. This was indeed quite sad, because he did not deal even a bit of damage.

It was such a powerful and confident attack, yet it had resulted in nothing; how could he not feel discouraged?

The major figures on the viewing platforms were also somewhat shocked that Zhao Fu could receive this attack from Huo Yan so easily.

However, facing everyone’s shocked gazes, Zhao Fu became quite serious and did not take Huo Yan lightly because he indeed had the power to make Zhao Fu serious.

Zhao Fu had used his Saint Realm Domains encapsulate the fiery birds, and because Saint Realm power was much stronger than Stage 9 power, this was quite easy. However, once Huo Yan broke out of Stage 9, the power he unleashed would not be able to be dealt with so easily.

This was the strength of a genius-level character, and Zhao Fu had personally experienced it, making him take back his casual attitude.

Zhao Fu controlled the nine blood-red energy barriers containing the fiery birds to float around him, giving off a terrifying aura. However, this aura was slightly weaker than the aura of the attack Huo Yan had just unleashed, and Zhao Fu stretched out a hand towards Huo Yan as he prepared to counter-attack.

Seeing this, Huo Yan quickly stopped Zhao Fu and said, “I admit my loss, there’s no need to continue. That was my strongest attack and you were able to stop it so easily; I admit that I’m inferior to you.”

Zhao Fu was quite surprised and had never thought that Huo Yan would admit his loss so straightforwardly. However, since he conceded, Zhao Fu did not attack.

Huo Yan gave a bitter smile; this was the power of an Emperor, and he was quite far off. However, he did not lose any confidence in himself and he said to Zhao Fu, “Emperor, if we have the opportunity in the future, I’d like to spar against you again. Next time, I definitely won’t disappoint you.”

Huo Yan’s attitude was quite good, so Zhao Fu nodded and agreed.

Following this, Huo Yan held his fiery halberd as he jumped off the arena, and his name on the massive stone stele dropped to eleventh place.

An unnamed person took his original spot at tenth place, making countless people feel quite surprised. They understood that this person was Zhao Fu, but if he was not from the Ancient Stem Domain, he would not be able to go on the Ancient Stem Rankings.

What was even more shocking was that the age displayed after his name was only six years old.

This was definitely a joke – how could the Emperor be just 6 years old? Who would believe this? The Ancient Stem Stone Stele was definitely broken; there was definitely some kind of mistake.

It was not just the countless ordinary people who stared at the Ancient Stem Stone Stele with wide eyes; even the major figures were quite confused. Everyone had the same question in their hearts: What was going on?

Zhao Fu was also quite confused, and he had never thought that such a thing would happen.

However, after thinking about it, he understood: Zhao Fu was from the Ancient Stem Domain, so he could naturally go on the Ancient Stem Rankings. As for the age displayed, it was the time that he had spent in the Heaven Awaken World. He had only spent six years in the Heaven Awaken World, so the Ancient Stem Rankings had based his age off that.

Zhao Fu felt that this was quite fair because Zhao Fu had only cultivated for six years, which was different to those who had been born in the Heaven Awaken World and grown up here.

Bang!

A massive sound rang out, attracting everyone’s attention. It was the battle between Bai Haoran and Gu Jian. In the end, it was Bai Haoran who was victorious, sending Gu Jian flying out of the arena. It seemed that it had been quite difficult to achieve that victory.

Everyone had been looking over at Zhao Fu and had not seen how Bai Haoran had won, making them feel that it was quite a pity.

The major figures on the viewing platforms all sank into silence. They were not surprised that Bai Haoran would win, and they were all thinking about the matter with Zhao Fu.

At that moment, Zhao Fu started to sweat cold sweat – had his identity been exposed? He felt that it might be better to just run.

Zhao Fu was about to slip away for fear of his identity being exposed. With the countless experts on the viewing platforms, even if he had extra lives, it would not be enough.

After Stage 9 was the Saint Realm, then the Earth Realm, Heaven Realm, Harmony Realm, Great Earth Realm, World Realm, Divine Realm, Extreme Divine Realm, and Emperor Heaven Realm.

The Sect Master of the Dao Cultivation Sect was an expert in the World Realm, and even without a World Seal, he could use his inner qi to control the world’s energy. That was much more powerful than someone who had a World Seal, and he had the power to destroy a world.

Just as Zhao Fu was planning to slip away, the Elder from the Ten Thousand Dragon Financial Group came over in delight and said, “Emperor, we had never thought that you had joined the Ancient Stem Domain. If you’d like, the Ten Thousand Dragon Financial Group can act as your place of residence.”

Hearing this, Zhao Fu felt quite confused, and after asking, he found that the Domain that one was part of could be changed; all that was required was establishing a City.

For example, even though Zhao Fu was from the Ancient Stem Domain, if he established a City in the Heaven Domain, he could choose to give up his previous identity and join the Heaven Domain.

Hearing this, Zhao Fu was not as nervous and glanced over at the viewing platforms, and he saw that no one seemed to intend to make a move.

However, even if Zhao Fu’s identity was exposed, there would be no reason to make a move. There was no enmity between himself and anyone on the viewing platforms, so they naturally would have no reason to make a move against him. Unless Zhao Fu revealed that he was the Killing Sword Master, there would be no reason for them to do anything against him.

After thinking about that, Zhao Fu felt much more at ease and planned to return to the viewing platforms. Getting onto the Ancient Stem Rankings was quite good; not only were there rewards, but there was also the additional Fate.

Bang!

Another muffled explosion sounded out as Gu Qingyue smashed through Bing Qixue’s protective barrier with a punch, sending Bing Qixue flying out. She then turned to look at Zhao Fu, who was about to leave, and gave a confident smile as she said, “Emperor, do you dare to fight with me?”

This caused Zhao Fu to turn around. It had happened once already, and now it was happening again – they weren’t taking this fake Emperor seriously at all!

“This woman!” Zhao Fu felt slightly angry as he jumped onto the arena.

Bing Qixue looked slightly awkward because he had just lost at Gu Qingyue’s hands. Looking at Zhao Fu in front of him, he did not know what to say. However, he was quite sensible because he had personally witnessed Zhao Fu’s power, so he did not want to exchange blows with Zhao Fu.

The umpire announced the battle between Zhao Fu and Gu Qingyue. Because Zhao Fu had just taken the tenth rank on the Ancient Stem Rankings, he had the right to challenge Gu Qingyue.

Everyone once again felt quite interested and wanted to see how Zhao Fu would deal with Gu Qingyue, who had attained victory through might.

On the arena, Zhao Fu coldly looked at Gu Qingyue, who smiled back at him, not seeming to mind Zhao Fu’s words. Instead, she was quite excited to fight with Zhao Fu.

The major figures on the viewing platforms were not focused on this, and they were instead thinking about why an Emperor like Zhao Fu was in the Ancient Stem Domain. Was there some plot afoot? They did not know that they were making a big fuss over a minor issue.
