Chapter 412 Summoning the Heavenly Emperor
“You’ve gone astray, you’ve strayed from the right path. We brothers, for the sake of our family, have no choice but to take action against you.”
Hua Tianyun slowly spoke, then waved his hand, and instantly, a vast array appeared, layer upon layer.
All of them are King-level magic arrays, and seven or eight sets have been set up. It can be said that the Hua Tian clan has made thorough preparations.
Today, I will surely kill Hua Tianqiu!
Everyone's expression changed drastically.
How could this be?
Hua Tiansongming spoke urgently: "Elders, what exactly is going on..."
"Yes, the Ancestor Seeking the Dao is the Supreme Elder of our clan. How can he be targeted like this?"
"No!"
Many other elders from the Huatian Seeking the Dao lineage also chimed in.
"shut up!"
But at this moment, Hua Tianchi Yue spoke coldly, saying, "Seal off the great formation!"
A hint of disdain had already appeared in his eyes.
From this day forward, he will receive the essence of the Heavenly Emperor and become an immortal king, and his daughter will become the holy maiden of the clan, shouldering the future and destiny of the Hua Tian clan...
As for Hua Tianqiu Dao... he was merely a stepping stone.
The grand formation was sealed off, a murderous aura emanated from it, and a terrifying presence permeated the heavens and earth. The three immortal kings had each established their own territory, ready to join forces to suppress Hua Tianqiu.
"Seeking the Dao, you should never have dared to tread this forbidden and evil path. The Heavenly Emperor is gone, yet you have fallen into a nightmare!"
Hua Tianlei shook his head!
"We have no choice but to kill you. Even if the Eternal King returns, we will have cleansed our own house—"
Hua Tianmingcheng also had a cold expression.
They were all immortal kings who had long since become indifferent to all emotions. Now that Hua Tianqiu had betrayed them, the only option was to kill him.
Upon witnessing this scene, Hua Tianqiu, standing before the underground palace, sighed deeply, his old eyes filled with disappointment.
He had always trusted Hua Tianchiyue implicitly, even valuing him highly, but now…
But it truly disheartened him.
"Who dares to disrespect a senior seeking the Dao?!"
At that moment, a clear voice suddenly rang out, and another young man emerged from the depths of the underground palace.
He held a jade bottle in his hand, exuding a powerful aura. Behind him, dozens of true images of the Great Dao appeared!
It was none other than Li Lan.
Upon seeing him, the three Immortal Kings all had a slight change in expression.
Hua Tianchiyue frowned instantly. What was going on?
Xingluo originally came from the primordial world and should have hated the Heavenly Emperor to the extreme. When he entered the underground palace and saw what Huatian Qiudao had done, he should have been furious and destroyed everything.
Hua Tian's mad pursuit of the Dao also proves this point.
Why would Xingluoyuan now protect Huatian in his quest for enlightenment?
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Lan stepped forward and stood beside Hua Tianqiu, calmly speaking:
"Although Senior Hua Tianqiu Dao went astray before, he has now signed an agreement with our clan. Our clan and the Hua Tian clan will advance and retreat together in the Eternal True Realm."
"Are you all going to attack Hua Tianqiu Dao because you want to break the contract and become enemies of my clan?"
Li Lan's gaze was icy as he swept across the entire arena. Even though the Immortal King was right in front of him, he showed no fear.
Upon hearing this, Hua Tianyun and the others were all taken aback.
"What? The Seeker of the Dao... has cooperated with the Third Race?"
Hua Tianlei was instantly delighted. He had a deep relationship with Hua Tianqiudao. Although he had hardened his heart to take action before, he ultimately couldn't bear to do it.
Now that Hua Tian has realized his mistake and returned to the right path, everyone is happy.
"How is this possible... How could someone so devoted to the pursuit of the Dao suddenly change their mind?"
Hua Tianmingcheng was deep in thought.
"impossible--"
Hua Tianchi Yue was speechless, his brows furrowed and his eyes filled with disbelief.
There must be something wrong here.
He knew Hua Tianqiu too well. The other party was extremely determined and had been secretly preparing for this matter all these years. How could he suddenly change his mind?
"Clan Chief Hua Tian,"
At this moment, Li Lan spoke calmly, saying:
"I have promised Senior Hua Tianqiu that when my cultivation is sufficient, I will use the Heavenly Emperor's essence blood to summon demons and see the Heavenly Emperor again. This essence blood will serve as a token of the treaty between our two races and will belong to me. Is that acceptable?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Hua Tian clan was astonished.
So that's how it is?
Hua Tianqiu's lifelong pursuit was perhaps all for the chance to see the Heavenly Emperor again.
His own method was extremely costly and dangerous, and crucially, whether he could see the Heavenly Emperor again was still unknown.
However, the Third Race's Summoning Demon Technique is renowned throughout the world. This technique can summon long-deceased beings to serve them.
Previously, the Dongya royal family had gone to great lengths to obtain this method.
Xingluoyuan's willingness to help naturally gives him a better chance than Huatian Qiudao fighting alone, so it's only natural that Huatian Qiudao would agree to cooperate with Xingluoyuan.
This would be mutually beneficial and a win-win situation!
But the key question is, why would Xingluoyuan help Huatian seek the Dao?
He was a primordial being, and should have been locked in a life-or-death struggle with the Heavenly Emperor. Back then, the Heavenly Emperor suppressed all the demons in the world with a single sword strike, including Xingluoyuan. Even after countless ages, his physical body no longer exists...
"Young Master Luoyuan, you want to bring the Heavenly Emperor back to life?!"
Hua Tianchi Yue couldn't help but ask a serious question.
Hua Tianqiu was a loyal follower of the Heavenly Emperor back then, which is one thing, but when did Xingluoyuan go mad?
Li Lan said calmly:
"good."
"I am already invincible in the world. If I don't seek an opponent from the long river of time, where else can I seek one?"
His words were calm, yet he possessed an invincible air about him.
Li Lan had witnessed the rise and fall of the underworld, fought battles in the mortal realm and the void realm, battled a god-king on Earth, and even faced a million-strong army and killed hundreds of immortals in the war between the two realms...
His experiences were like a deep abyss and a vast ocean, but they were all hidden and concealed. At this moment, he inadvertently revealed a few waves, which made even top figures like Hua Tian and Chi Yue feel awe.
"This child... already possesses an invincible Dao heart. He actually wants to summon back the Heavenly Emperor and then fight him?"
Hua Tianyun'ao's expression turned extremely solemn!
He could tell that Li Lan was in an astonishing state at the moment, with an air of invincibility and disdain for the world.
"A person who can defeat the First God must have something special about them, so it's normal for them to have such heroic spirit!"
Hua Tianlei couldn't help but sigh, "The younger generation surpasses the older generation; compared to them, we feel like we're already old and frail!"
Even Hua Tianmingcheng, whose face had been gloomy, couldn't help but nod and say, "I see... Old friend seeking the Dao, you're quite lucky."
He immediately stepped forward and said, "The Holy Son of Luoyuan has an amazing spirit; I admire him!"
"As you said, this blood of the Heavenly Emperor belongs to you, young friend, as a gift to my clan!"
"From this day forward, my Huatian clan is willing to stand with the third clan through thick and thin!"
He agreed immediately.
Hua Tianyun and Hua Tianlei also nodded in approval!
Given the inevitable course of events, the primordial world will eventually descend, and the Hua Tian clan will need to find a side to join, otherwise they will inevitably be abandoned by the tide.
Xingluo had an amazing record of battles and an invincible Dao heart. Moreover, he had already befriended the Huatian clan. By all accounts, he was the most suitable choice.
Only Hua Tianchi Yue had an extremely grim expression on his face!
He was about to vomit blood.
With painstaking planning, it should have been foolproof, so how could something have gone wrong again?
He had planned everything, but he hadn't anticipated that Xingluoyuan, that madman, would actually want to challenge the Heavenly Emperor. On this point, he could reach an agreement with Huatian Qiudao!
In this way, Hua Tianqiu will not only survive, but will also become a key figure in negotiations with the Third Race. Who would dare to touch him? Even if the Eternal King Hua Tianji were to return, he would have to think twice.
Moreover, the Heavenly Emperor's blood that he longed for was now completely out of reach!
Has my hope of becoming an Immortal King been extinguished?
Must we be confined to the realm of immortality for the rest of our lives?
He felt frustrated and resentful...
Why?
Almost every patriarch of the Huatian clan has been able to obtain a portion of the Heavenly Emperor's blood. Why should he suffer such unfair treatment in his generation?
There's a world of difference between an immortal and an immortal king...
"Hua Tianchi Yue, you truly care about this old man!"
At this moment, Hua Tianqiu spoke coldly, saying, "Such loyalty deserves no reward; it would make this old man seem narrow-minded... From this day forward, you shall be the Supreme Protector—"
Supreme Protector!
Upon hearing these four words, Hua Tianchi Yue abruptly raised his eyes, his gaze filled with disbelief...
The Supreme Protector's status is naturally extremely high. Almost every clan leader in the past will eventually become the Supreme Protector and be respected by the entire clan. But there is a prerequisite—becoming an Immortal King!
Only by becoming an immortal king and then stepping down as clan leader can one retain immense power!
For example, Hua Tianyun and others, although they usually stay in seclusion, all major family matters require their permission.
However, Hua Tian Chi Yue is still only an immortal...
He has now stepped down as clan leader and become the Supreme Protector. It is a promotion in name only, and he will lose the enormous power to control the entire clan. What he has gained is just an empty title!
This clearly shows that Hua Tianqiu no longer trusts him and wants to abolish him.
His throat was dry, and he wanted to say something, but the words stopped in his throat.
The victor is king, the loser is villain. His plan has failed, and Hua Tianqiu could not possibly be unaware of his intentions.
Hua Tianqiu already held the highest position in the clan, and now with the prestige of having made a pact with the third clan, what difficulty would it be to replace a clan leader?
Although Hua Tianchi Yue had cultivated his influence within the clan for many years, his strength was insufficient, and he ultimately had no say in front of the Immortal King!
He gritted his teeth and remained silent.
"Hey……"
Hua Tianyun and the others couldn't help but sigh.
From their perspective, Hua Tianchi Yue was also considering the future of the Hua Tian clan, but now, naturally they wouldn't oppose Hua Tianqiu Dao for his sake.
After all, it doesn't matter who becomes the clan leader.
Hua Tianqiu glanced coldly at Hua Tianchiyue, then said, "It's time to shut down the great formation."
The three supreme beings, Hua Tianyun and Ao, acted instantly, shutting down the layers of royal formations one by one.
The terrifying killing intent dissipated, and the overwhelming aura receded. Outside the underground palace, many family elders and those in power finally saw what was inside.
"The Ancestor Seeking the Dao is still alive!"
"Was there no bloodshed?"
"That's wonderful... After all, the Ancestor Seeking the Dao is an Immortal King of our clan. If a great battle breaks out and a King falls, it will be an immeasurable loss for our clan!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Hua Tianqiu was still alive.
"Greetings, esteemed ancestors!"
Hua Tiansong immediately performed a grand ceremony.
The other elders also joined in the chant.
Hua Tianqiu waved his hand calmly and said, "With the help of Young Master Xingluoyuan, I have rid myself of demonic thoughts. From now on, the Hua Tian clan will advance and retreat together with the Third Clan. Young Master Xingluoyuan will be an honored guest of our clan!"
