“True Emperor of the World,” murmuring, the middle-aged man sitting on the throne, couldn’t hide the fiery passion deep in his eyes.
He wasn’t someone who showed his emotions easily. But when it came to the seat ‘Emperor’, he couldn’t help but get excited.
All of this was because the Emperor could gather the Fate of a region, which could provide a huge assistance in cultivation. Given opportunity, he could even imitate the previous era and establish a supreme dynasty.
This was what a True Emperor was.
Similar to Sword Cultivation, where one mastered the sword, they instead walked the most dominating Imperial Path.
According to his vague memory, each generation of True Emperors, if fortunate enough to establish a dynasty, could achieve at least Tier-5. Moreover, the True Emperor in his territory was invincible at the same level. When necessary, they could even mobilize the Fate of their dynasty to boost his attacks, achieving legendary feats of fighting beyond their level.
From this, it was quite evident what becoming a True Emperor would signify for the middle-aged man.
And now, he was just a step away from becoming a True Emperor.
As long as he could seize the Dragon Vein and bathe in the blood of the True Dragon, he could create the ‘True Dragon Foundation.’
Thinking of this, the fire in a middle-aged man’s eyes burned hotter. He had waited too long for this day. He even tolerated the rise of vassals and allowed the proclaimed ‘Empress’, He Ling Er, recklessly expand her power.
All of this was because there was only one Human in China capable of raiding the White Dragon’s Lair. It was none other than the Empress, He Ling Er.
Even he couldn’t fathom how far this extraordinary woman with unparalleled talents had reached in her cultivation.
However, he was certain about one thing. If even the Empress couldn’t do it, then there was no one else in the entirety of China capable of raiding the White Dragon’s Lair.
As these thoughts flashed in his mind, his expression couldn’t help but darken. Then, he immediately ordered, “Aid the Empress with everything for the White Dragon’s Lair. If necessary, you can even use some top-tier resources.”
“Yes, Sir,” the mysterious figure kneeling on one knee accepted the command and quietly withdrew.
However, shortly after his departure, mysterious figures began to emerge from various corners of Beijing, all heading towards the Forbidden Zone–the White Dragon’s Lair.
…
While China was planning to attack the White Dragon’s Lair, on a mountain peak outside Misty Mountains…
“The First Forbidden Zone—The Lost Land is actually hidden in such a small place,” amidst a cold laughter, a tall and stalwart blond man stared at the plain not far away with a mocking look on his face.
Surprisingly, Misty Mountains in his eyes looked no different than a plain.
A sprawling plain stretched as far as the eye could see, blanketed with lush green grasses swaying gently in the breeze. Birds could be seen gracefully flying in the sky, while on the ground below, Mutant Beasts roamed intermittently.
However, this was the scene seen by ordinary people. For those with real strength, this place seemed like a reflection in a mirror, giving a surreal and unreal feeling.
Even if one stepped foot on this plain, everything they touched felt as real as ever, as though it was reality.
*Haaa…* Taking a deep breath, the stalwart man looked at this plain with a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
While others might not be able to notice anything, who was he?
He was the heir of the Three-Eyes Divine Clan, endowed with the most terrifying Innate Talent of the Three-Eyes Divine Clan, the Heavenly Eye.
Before his Heavenly Eye, all illusions were dispelled, nothing could escape his gaze.
With this in mind, the tall and stalwart young man focused his gaze. Immediately, a thunderclap suddenly echoed through the clear sky before a golden vertical pupil slowly opened at the dead center of this stalwart man’s forehead.
Simultaneously, dazzling golden glow surged outward from this newly opened golden vertical pupil, spreading in all directions like thin waves.
Following that, under the playful gaze of the burly man, the vast plain suddenly began to distort.
Little by little…
Bit by bit…
And with the distortion of the plain, the scenery grew increasingly blurry.
However, at this moment, if one observed carefully, they would surely notice strands of white mist pouring out of thin air.
Slowly, the golden rays from his golden vertical pupil had torn open a rift, revealing an ‘unknown’ world.
“The infamous Tree Monster is actually hiding in such a corner. Did it get injured in the battle against the Sea Clan three years ago? Has it been recuperating here since then?” muttering his own speculation, the burly man looked at the crack emitting mist with added eagerness.
[A Tree Monster, and a Tier-4 at that. If I can kill it, not to mention Tier-4, even Tier-5 will be within my reach. A treasure like this only belongs to the capable! Ironically, those fools actually feared its reputation and allowed the Tree Monster to recuperate here.]
As for why he speculated that the Tree Monster was injured, it was all because the Tree Monster hadn’t made an appearance in three years.
Three years was not a short time.
In three years, a new generation had emerged, with powerful Superhumans and Transcendents popping out every now and then. Even he had stepped into Tier-3, and his combat strength had reached the Realm of Kings.
If he opened his ‘Heavenly Eye’, let alone Kings, he could even be content against Sovereigns.
With this in mind, he naturally had the confidence to come here in search of opportunities.
The speculation about the Tree Monster being injured and recuperating here was his guess.
According to his investigation, the Tree Monster was not someone to be trifled with, and its ambitions were not small. Yet such an ambitious creature did not dominate the world after breaking through to Tier-4. It instead chose to disappear for three years. The Three-Eyes Heir didn’t believe there was no reason for this.
[If it broke through to Tier-4, it should have at least dominated a region, but the Tree Monster has been hiding in this illusionary realm, and for three years at that.] With this in mind, the Three-Eyes Heir came up with a new speculation.
The Tree Monster was injured, but it didn’t mean that someone had injured it.
Thanks to his inherited memories, he had some understanding of the terror of Tier-4. Such an existence was not something that an ordinary Tier-3 could shake. So, excluding someone injuring it, there was only one possibility.
A smile tugged the corner of the Three-Eyes Heir’s lip as he felt proud of his speculation.
[One has to undergo a tribulation when breaking through to Tier-4. The Tree Monster must have gotten seriously injured or damaged its foundation during its tribulation. This is the only logical reason why the Tree Monster has been in hiding for three years. He is recuperating!]
This was not just a simple guesswork, he came to this conclusion because of his memories. According to his memories, crossing the Heavenly Tribulation of Tier-4 was tantamount to walking on the edge of life and death. Without sufficient preparation, one would be courting death.
So, how could that Tree Monster possibly emerge unscathed after going through such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation as described by the world?
“The ignorance of the world is a perfect opportunity for me.” Feeling pleased with himself, the Three-Eyes Heir looked at the white mist spilling out of the crack he had opened before lifting his feet and stepping into it.
Although the Three-Eyes Heir was arrogant, he was also meticulous. He had made all the necessary preparations, even thoroughly investigating the powerful creatures within Misty Mountain.
After his investigation, he concluded that there shouldn’t be any formidable opponents that could match him.
After all, the awe-inspiring power of the Three-Eyes Divine Clan was not just talk. Furthermore, he had already mastered a Divine Ability of the Three-Eyes Divine Clan. Not to mention offense, even ensuring his own survival wouldn’t be difficult.
