At this moment, in the distant starry sky, the Cultivators from various regions who had been drawn by the shocking fluctuations of the battle and rushed to "watch"...
...finally arrived at the edge of the battlefield one after another.
Most of these were Undergoing Tribulation Old Ancestors from various regions of the Canglan Continent, along with a few old monsters whose Lifespans were nearing their end.
They had originally come with a fanatical hope of observing a battle between Immortal Ascensions and gaining insight into the true meaning of the Great Dao.
But what they saw before them threw them all into a state of immense confusion and shock.
The battle... is over?
What happened to the manifestation of the Great Dao and the collision of Laws?
What happened to observing and learning, seeking a Breakthrough?
Why is it that as soon as they arrived, they only saw two Empresses standing side by side under the starry sky, chatting?
"This... it's finished just like that?"
An Undergoing Tribulation Old Ancestor from a first-rate Sect in the Southern Region gaped, his face full of disbelief.
After receiving a message from an old friend, he hadn't hesitated to burn his essence blood to rush here, only to see nothing in the end?
"Empress Ling Shuang's aura seems to fluctuate slightly, but there are no signs of serious injury. That Yaochi Empress's aura is terrifyingly stable!"
An old monk at the Undergoing Tribulation stage from the Western Region's Buddhist Sect, with a peaceful aura, whispered to his companion,
"Looking at this situation, I'm afraid Empress Ling Shuang didn't gain any advantage, and might even be... slightly at a disadvantage?"
"More than just slightly at a disadvantage!"
An elderly man at the Undergoing Tribulation stage from an ancient family in the Eastern Region spoke with a solemn expression, his voice kept extremely low,
"Don't you feel it? There are two types of Law fluctuations remaining in this starry sky!"
"Besides Empress Ling Shuang's extreme cold, there is another... even more ancient and obscure, terrifying dao rhyme!"
"I have lived for nearly twenty thousand years, yet I have never felt such a peculiar dao rhyme aura!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of several Old Ancestor-level figures who had arrived first and had the highest cultivation bases changed one after another.
Sensing carefully, they indeed detected the almost imperceptible yet real residue of Chaos dao rhyme, and each of them was horrified.
"Could it be that this Yaochi Empress has comprehended some Law we don't know about?"
"No wonder she could step into the Immortal Ascension Realm and even put Empress Ling Shuang at a disadvantage..."
"Look! The two from the Jade Pool Immortal Palace have also arrived!"
Someone pointed to two sword lights galloping from afar; it was indeed Li Hanyi and Yun Yun.
The two women arrived at the edge of the battlefield and were greatly relieved to see that Gu Han and Empress Ling Shuang had stopped fighting.
They did not step forward, but simply waited quietly in the distance.
Just then, a relatively young Early Stage Undergoing Tribulation Cultivator couldn't help but ask the person next to him:
"Fellow Daoist, just now... I seemed to vaguely see a mysterious youth appear?"
"And then he disappeared? That was...?"
Although his voice was not loud, everyone present was a person of profound cultivation and could naturally hear him clearly.
Many latecomers had not seen the scene of Emperor Long Teng's appearance and now pricked up their ears.
The Cultivator being questioned was an Undergoing Tribulation Cultivator from the Central Region.
He stroked his beard, a profound smile appearing on his face, as he first cautiously glanced in the direction of Gu Han and Empress Ling Shuang.
Seeing that they didn't seem to care about the discussion here, he lowered his voice and spoke at a volume just loud enough for the surrounding people to hear:
"Young man, your eyesight isn't bad, but a 'mysterious youth'?"
"Hehe, that is an existence who can speak as an equal with those two Empresses. Do you think he could be an ordinary person?"
"Could it be some hidden Peak Undergoing Tribulation old monster?"
Someone guessed.
"Peak Undergoing Tribulation?"
The man sneered and shook his head, a hint of awe flashing in his eyes,
"To be able to hide on the side and witness the entire process of the two Empresses' clash without being detected, and to make them stop fighting with just a few words..."
"Peak Undergoing Tribulation? Even ten Peak Undergoing Tribulation experts tied together probably couldn't do it!"
The sound of suppressed gasps immediately rang out from the surroundings.
"Not Undergoing Tribulation... then could it be..." A guess that made their Souls tremble began to grow wildly in everyone's hearts.
"Let me tell you,"
The man's voice dropped even lower, yet every word was clear, like a heavy hammer striking everyone's heart,
"That person is the master of the Central Region's Long Teng Imperial Dynasty, the one who rules the core territory of the Canglan Continent—Emperor Long Teng!"
"Emperor Long Teng?!"
"It's actually him!"
"Heavens! Even he was alerted?"
"No wonder... no wonder they stopped fighting..."
The crowd instantly boiled over!
Compared to the newly ascended Yaochi Empress, Emperor Long Teng's fame had already resounded throughout the continent for tens of thousands of years; he was a true legend standing at the Peak of Canglan!
There were simply too many legends about him; almost everyone present had grown up listening to stories of Emperor Long Teng.
Now, under extreme shock and excitement,
some secrets that had previously only circulated in the top inner circles were also whispered by these well-informed Old Ancestors:
"It is said that Emperor Long Teng appeared out of nowhere seventy thousand years ago. His origins are a mystery, but his talent is terrifying and unprecedented!"
"He only took six hundred years to finish the path that others couldn't finish in six thousand or even sixty thousand years, stepping into the Immortal Ascension Realm!"
"He is also the expert who broke through to Immortal Ascension status the fastest in the history of the Canglan Continent!"
"Not just fast! Legend has it that he is the 'biological son of the Heavenly Dao,' with prosperous Luck, turning misfortune into good fortune."
"His path of cultivation had no Bottlenecks. All sorts of Secret Realm legacies and heaven-and-earth treasures seemed as if they were prepared specifically for him!"
"His 'dragon soul sword' is the only 'quasi-immortal artifact' on the continent. He obtained it when he fell into a cliff as a youth, and since then, he began his path of invincibility."
"Sixty thousand years ago, that Venerable Tian Qiong of the Southern Region failed his tribulation and his obsession turned into a demon, slaughtering billions of Cultivators. It is said that he was suppressed by him."
"Ascending at six hundred... the biological son of the Heavenly Dao... sixty thousand years ago, suppressing the demonized Venerable Tian Qiong... the only quasi-immortal artifact... listening to these jaw-dropping legends."
The Cultivators who arrived later only felt dizzy; the amount of information received today was simply too much.
Their gazes toward the silver-haired figure in the distant starry sky also became more complex and filled with awe.
"To be able to make Emperor Long Teng personally appear!"
"The weight and potential of this Yaochi Empress are probably far more terrifying than they had previously imagined!"
"The Southern Region is likely to truly welcome a Pillar of Heaven capable of changing the entire landscape of the continent!"
