Chapter 1929  Chapter 517: The Heavenly Dao Banner Stands, Incarnations Shine Upon the Thousand Clans of the Southern Domain (Part 4)

Sword Heart and Ming Yue exchanged glances, their expressions suddenly turning grim, “Before the Supreme left, he emptied the treasure vault, the Immortal Stones…”

“What?”

Long Zhan Tian glared, barely restraining his anger; as a Supreme, this was simply shameless!

Dao Qingyin paused slightly, realizing the thoughts of the Southern Domain Venerable. She did not understand why he acted this way—did the Supreme really care so little for the True Realm and fear not the eternal curse?

“Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty, here to pay respects!”

At that moment, a loud voice rang out from afar.

Li Hao and the others slightly turned their heads, their Divine Sense instantly extending, detecting a throng of Immortal King figures approaching the edge of the Heavenly Palace Territory, roughly a hundred in number, though most were below the Fifth Level of Immortal King Realm.

“Tianzhao Immortal Dynasty, here to pay respects to the True King!”

“Red Border Immortal Dynasty, here to pay respects to the True King!!”

“Yuanzun Immortal Dynasty, here to pay respects to the True King!!”

Along with the figures from Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty came a group of Immortal King figures from other directions, rushing swiftly through the air.

Li Hao gazed around and saw that it was the Southern Domain’s Seven Ancient Immortal Dynasties. He had once crossed paths with the proud ones from these dynasties during past competitions in the Southern Domain, but those coming now were older Immortal Kings from each dynasty.

“I’ve heard that the Southern Domain’s Seven Ancient Immortal Dynasties hold vast territories, a first-class power only second to the Heavenly Palace, and the Immortal Emperor is a Quasi-Emperor level force.”

Dao Qingyin swept her gaze over them, secretly letting out a breath of relief. These dynasties did not scatter like the Heavenly Palace, or else the Southern Domain would surely fall, leaving all the burden on the Dao Clan and Ancestor Dragon Clan.

Among the many Immortal King figures from Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty, Li Hao recognized several familiar faces; they were once those who presided over the selection of prodigies at Yan Chu Imperial City—Prince Chu Xiangtian, and those like Chu Tianhuang who had participated in the Pride of Heaven Battle with him. Now, they too had broken through to the Immortal King Realm, but their realms were lower, only at the Third Level.

Apparently, they hadn’t accumulated enough foundation at the Primordial True Realm’s Immortal Monarch Realm, forcing an early breakthrough.

After all, amidst the impending catastrophe, continuing to pursue foundation enhancement without Immortal King Realm cultivation made it easy to fall in the chaos of battle.

“Why is the Heavenly Palace so desolate?”

Upon entering the Heavenly Palace Territory, the Immortal Dynasty members observed the great peaks and hills, left with only buildings but no inhabitants, surprised.

Yet, when their Divine Sense glimpsed Li Hao and the others, they felt reassured. The earlier performance of Li Hao and Shi Miao in the True King selection gave them confidence.

“Beside the Heavenly King Hao Tian is the Dao Clan’s inheritor, and the Ancestor Dragon Clan!”

“Our Southern Domain is saved with the support of these two clans.”

“There are also other major clans, seven ranked within the top fifty.”

The Immortal Dynasty members looked at Long Zhan Tian and Dao Qingyin beside Li Hao. Besides them, there were other strong clans willing to follow Li Hao in guarding the Southern Domain.

Among these were clans rooted in the Southern Domain, while others believed that standing by Li Hao promised greater achievements. The sight of the Heavenly Palace, however, cooled many hearts, cursing the Supreme with resentment.

“Why have you come here?”

Li Hao looked at the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty crowd that arrived first, sweeping his gaze over them. Leading them wasn’t Chu Xiangtian but a tall, gentle-eyed youth whose restrained aura was unusually powerful, at the pinnacle of Immortal King Realm.

“Chu Beiming, greetings to Heavenly King Hao Tian.”

The youth raised his hand, showing quite a respectful attitude toward Li Hao.

Though he was at the pinnacle of Immortal King Realm and considered invincible among peers, even people like Long Zhan Tian beside Li Hao could effortlessly defeat him.

Compared to the Perfection-level power of these elite Immortal Kings from the great clans, he could only count as second-rate.

“The Ancient Demons invaded; knowing the True King would come to assist and guard here, we guessed you might be at the Heavenly Palace, thus specially came to follow orders.”

Chu Beiming said.

Li Hao nodded slightly, “Have your father and the other Quasi-Emperors from Yan Chu left? How’s the current situation at the border?”

“My father has gone to the Exotic Battlefield with the other emperors, leaving the Immortal Dynasty in my hands. Yan Chu follows all directives from the True King.”

Chu Beiming’s face showed some seriousness, “Over the years, the border has faced frequent Ancient Demon disturbances. My father mentioned that the emperors are selecting the True King for a counterattack, allowing us to barely hold on, but many territories have already been lost. Now that the True King has emerged, I believe the Ancient Demons will know, surely launching attacks on various places, so I’ve set up secret sentries for immediate alerts.”

“The border has already fallen?”

Li Hao was slightly stunned; having cultivated in the Abyss for hundreds of years, he was indeed clueless about the outside world.

Though aware that Ancient Demons would attack other domains, the border’s fall and territorial loss were undeniably grave.

No wonder the emperors were so urgent in the True King selection; the external world’s time purchase had reached its limit.

At this moment, members from Red Border and Yuanzun Immortal Dynasty also arrived.

“Salute the Heavenly King Hao Tian; Red Border Immortal Dynasty is here to follow instruction.”

Red Border Immortal Dynasty was led by an exceptionally beautiful woman, adorned in a black robe with crimson-gold edges, embroidery of phoenix motifs outlining her sleeves, exuding nobility and sharpness no less than a man.

The other Immortal Dynasties also paid respects to Li Hao, showing reverence.

Li Hao scanned them, vaguely remembering the Southern Domain’s Seven Ancient Immortal Dynasties, noticing only six dynasties present, and asked, “What about Jinyun Immortal Dynasty?”

“Jinyun Immortal Dynasty…”

Red Border’s leader, Chi Li, with slightly furrowed brows, replied, “Reporting to Heavenly King Hao Tian, Jinyun is located in the northwest border of the Southern Domain, where Ancient Demons’ invasions are most fierce, closest to the passageway to the Eastern Domain. For hundreds of years, it has endured the flames of Ancient Demons’ war, with half its territory fallen. Now it’s struggling to manage itself, likely unable to spare attention to come for greetings.”
