Chapter 1700: Commander of Emperors
“You’re wrong,”
The storyteller shook his head. “Everyone, you’re all smart people. How can there be an intact egg when the nest is overturned? If the Barbarian, Dragon and Kun races are destroyed, we humans will be next!”
Some Emperors remained silent.
In reality, anyone who could cultivate to this point could naturally see the situation clearly.
However, they had to endure countless hards.h.i.+ps to cultivate to this point. At their peak, they had a chance to attempt Tribulation Transcendence and ascend to become immortals, heading to the legendary immortal world.
However, if they were to join the battle against the Primordial Five Races, they would no longer have control over their fates.
Su Zimo did not say anything.
He believed that most cultivators would understand this logic, let alone Emperors.
The reason why those Emperors hesitated and refused to stand out was mainly because they were worried that they would die in the battle.
To be fair, if they were to ascend and leave, what did the humans of Tianhuang Mainland have to do with them?
Once they ascended to the upper world, these Emperors wouldn’t even care about their sects, much less the humans of Tianhuang Mainland.
For Emperors, ascending to immortality through Tribulation Transcendence was their only pursuit!
Therefore, cultivators with higher cultivation realms such as Patriarchs and Emperors rarely entered Tianhuang Mainland to bother about the fights between the major sects and factions.
There was only a single person like the Eternal Human Emperor who cared about Tianhuang Mainland even after ascending to the upper world.
Monk Kong Yun said, “Actually, it’s not just because of the implicated consequences. At the Ten Thousand Race Meet, the Dragon race stood out and helped us.”
“If not for the Chen Dragon Emperor’s deterrence of the Primordial Five Races, we might not have been able to coexist for the past thousand years.”
“Now that the Dragon race is in trouble, how can we ignore it?”
Suddenly, the Sword Emperor of this generation asked, “Why would the Primordial Five Races suddenly attack when the Chen Dragon Emperor is alive? Are they really going to fight to the death?”
“That’s because the Chen Dragon Emperor is already dead!”
Su Zimo did not hide anything and recounted everything that happened in the past few days in detail.
All the Emperors present had grim expressions.
“The Chen Dragon Emperor is already dead. Including the h.e.l.l Witch Emperor and the Golden Crow Fire Emperor, how are we going to fight against five Emperors who have comprehended four supreme divine powers?”
“In my opinion, let’s forget it. Even if we stand out and help the Primordial Three Races, we won’t be able to defend against the combined might of the Primordial Five Races.”
Initially, the Sword Emperor and the others were moved. However, when they heard the news, they gave up.
Su Zimo smiled. “Do you guys think that you can escape a calamity by hiding in the ancient battlefield?”
There was another important reason why the Emperors did not want to interfere—because the Emperors of the primordial races could not enter the ancient battlefield, their survival was ensured!
“What do you mean?”
The Sword Emperor asked with a frown.
Su Zimo said indifferently, “The Chen Dragon Emperor, Kun Empress and Barbarian Emperor were killed in their ancestral grounds. They died in the hands of their own clansmen, not outsiders!”
“Can you guarantee that you won’t die in the ancient battlefield?”
When they heard that, the Emperors present felt their hearts skip a beat. They looked around and gradually distanced themselves with wary expressions.
In other words, Su Zimo was implying that some of them might go crazy and kill other Emperors of the human race!
It was difficult to determine life and death between Emperors if they were to fight openly.
However, it was a different story if the Emperors were ambushed while they were unprepared.
“Martial Emperor, what do you mean by that?”
Monk Zhi Wen asked, “You mean to say that an Emperor among us betrayed the human race? That’s unlikely, right?”
Su Zimo did not reply and continued, “Also, there’s something else that I’m sure you guys haven’t noticed. The power of the restriction seal left behind by the Human Emperor in this ancient battlefield is gradually weakening.”
“What?!”
The expressions of the Emperors of the human race changed!
The reason why they could cultivate here without any reservations was because of the Human Emperor’s restriction seal. The Emperors of the primordial races could not enter and this was their final refuge.
If the Human Emperor’s restriction seal weakened continuously, they would be exposed to the Emperors of the primordial races as well!
“The Human Emperor’s restriction seal has never dissipated throughout history. Why would it suddenly weaken in this generation?”
The Extreme Essence Emperor revealed a suspicious expression and frowned. “Desolate Martial, don’t spout nonsense!”
Su Zimo sneered, “A thousand years ago, Senior Human Emperor descended upon Tianhuang Mainland and broke through the barrier of this world. Because of that, Heaven and Earth is now imperfect and its laws are in chaos.”
“Senior Human Emperor once said that even he doesn’t know the consequences of this.”
“However, one of the current consequences is that the power of the spatial seal in this ancient battlefield is weakening continuously. As long as you guys use your senses to detect, you’ll naturally know if I’m telling the truth.”
Before Su Zimo could finish, some Emperor of the human race had already released their spirit consciousnesses to check out the restrictions of this world.
The expressions of some Emperors turned extremely terrible.
Right now, there were only two options before them.
They could either follow Desolate Martial and join forces with the Dragon, Kun and Barbarian races to fight against the Primordial Five Races.
Otherwise, they could wait for the Dragon, Kun and Barbarian races to be destroyed. By then, the Emperors of the Primordial Five Races would come knocking and kill them.
Tribulation Transcendence was extremely important and n.o.body dared to attempt it without complete preparations.
The Heavenly Tribulation was no ordinary power. If one could not withstand it, their souls would be destroyed on the spot without a chance for their Essence Spirits to escape!
Monk Kong Yun said, “I agree to join forces with the Dragon race!”
He stood out as he said that.
“I agree too,”
Monk Zhi Wen followed closely behind.
The Emperors of Snowdrift Valley, Overlord Palace and more than ten others stood out as well.
The Sword Emperor and the others exchanged glances and made up their minds.
Right now, there were only two options—either take the initiative to fight for a sliver of life or wait for death.
The Sword Emperor said in a deep voice, “We can join forces with the Dragon race. However, I don’t think everyone is convinced if you’re going to be the commander, Martial Emperor!”
The Dongfang Spear Emperor sneered as well, “Desolate Martial, you’ve just been conferred the t.i.tle of an Emperor and comprehended a single supreme divine power. Furthermore, it’s Everlasting Vitality that doesn’t have much lethality. All the Emperors present are more qualified than you to be the commander of the various Emperors!”
“The Martial Emperor inherited the t.i.tle of the Human Emperor and he’s the Human Emperor of this generation. I’ll a.s.sist the Martial Emperor with all my might!”
The storyteller said in a deep voice.
The storyteller had comprehended four supreme divine powers. At that moment, he chose to submit to Su Zimo—that was an extremely strong support!
“Hehe!”
The Ximen Mirror Emperor laughed oddly. “The Mystic Emperor is the successor of the Human Emperor’s Palace and naturally has to listen to his orders. However, we have nothing to do with Desolate Martial! It’s truly laughable for someone who has just become an Emperor to want to command the other Emperors!”
“Although the Martial Emperor had just been conferred the t.i.tle of Emperor, he killed the Yu Emperor and Hidden Emperor when he was conferred the t.i.tle! Who can compare to his combat strength?!”
The Emperor of Snowdrift Valley could not help but speak up for Su Zimo.
“Not necessarily,”
The Fu Emperor of Malevolent Earth Sect said sinisterly, “I want to spar with the Martial Emperor and test his capabilities!”
