Chapter 5430: Guardians

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Encountering Emperors weaker than oneself was not an occasion for bullying, and in the presence of stronger ones, respect naturally prevailed.

The atmosphere was harmonious, devoid of any disputes.

Even the younger generation, upon reaching the realm of Transcendent Immortality, would undergo the trials of the Qishen Temple.

For the mundane beings, in the Original Universe, there were plenty of treasures to nurture them.

Even if certain treasures were lacking, they could be procured from the Four

Great Secret Realms. Even the current Emperors were too lazy to venture out.

What was there to explore? Innate Treasures? Origin Source treasures? All deemed as rubbish. It was better to scavenge in the Four Great Secret Realms.

In the presence of numerous powerhouses, Hu Qing appeared like the protagonist, engaging in conversations and receiving congratulations from various strong beings.

Jian Wushuang stood in the corner, silently remarking in his heart, Congratulations, Hu Qing!

Standing there like a lackey, was this the difference?

Just as everyone was engrossed in their discussions, a massive black hole manifested behind the spring.

Everyone was startled and quickly retreated.

Jian Wushuang even moved to the very back, prepared to escape at any moment.

Even if there were treasures, he wouldnt have a chance. It was better to stay far away.

From within the black hole, a towering figure emerged.

He seemed to be one with the black hole, walking out with the destructive force within.

Shang! Chishui rejoiced.

The newcomer was none other than one of the only two Ultimate Emperors, Shang.

First, he nodded towards everyone, then turned to Hu Qing and said,

Congratulations. Dont disappoint the cultivation efforts of Lord Zhen Ling! Hu Qing also understood now.

This place was probably the opportunity granted to him by Lord Zhen Ling.

I came here to deal with the Universe Master. You guys move forward quickly; greater opportunities lie ahead!

As Shangs words fell, he erupted towards the direction behind them.

His figure seemed to pause for a moment and eventually turned into an afterimage, slowly disappearing.

Others were relatively unfazed, merely impressed by Shangs strength without much astonishment.

However, for Gui Ling and others, their experiences were limited.

Some among them had never even encountered a supreme-peak expert.

Gui Ling had more exposure, having ventured into the Inner Sea Monster Court and encountered the true Monster Emperor, a supreme-peak level expert.

There were only two supreme-peak experts in the Monster Race of the Earth Realm, one establishing the Monster Court in the Western Sea, and the other residing in Tainnana low-key monster wolf that he had only heard of but never seen.

For them, reaching the supreme-peak was already an extraordinary feat.

However, the impression from the recent encounter surpassed the supreme-peak. If that person had attacked them, a single glance might have been enough to annihilate the majority of them.

Terrifying!

Fortunately, he didnt attack them.

Jian Wushuang was also astonished, not by the strength itself but by the Origin Source converging on Shang. It was forming into various rules.

These were not ordinary rules but the laws governing the operation of the universe.

This was an indication of reaching the realm of the universe.

When space reached the level of the universe, it meant Shang was close to the Universe Master level.

Once he broke through space and condensed time, he would become a Universe Master.

Envy!

There was envy in Jian Wushuangs eyes.

First, Hu Qing successfully merged with the Dao, and now he saw Shang on the verge of becoming a Universe Master.

Others, Jian Wushuang wouldnt envy, but he and Hu Qing, as well as Shang, were of the same kind, all mastering the Ultimate Dao.

One day, he would become an Emperor, perhaps even a Universe Master.

And now, the realm of Emperor was nearing as well.

At the pinnacle of the seventh layer of the Extreme Dao, once he reached the realm of black holes, it would assist him in attaining perfection in the Extreme Dao.

In the eighth layer of the Sword Dao, and the ideas for the ninth layer were also present, approaching completion.

This time, he might step onto the path of the perfected Dao Lord, not far from the realm of the Dao Merge. The path of the strong.

Lets go!

Gui Ling roared angrily, leading the others behind Situ Nan and the rest.

Although Hu Qing had successfully united the Dao, there was no need to proceed directly. There was no turning back now, so it was better to keep exploring. The Emperor was not the final destination; ultimately, there was more to traverse.

They continued toward the quiet mountain peaks.

In a not-too-distant valley, there stood a massive ancient temple, worn with age, but the aura above soared into the sky.

Three Kings Court!

Seeing the inscription above, Jian Wushuang felt a joy in his heart.

No wonder the corpses didnt attack here; it turned out this was the lair of the Three Kings.

It wasnt that they didnt attack; they simply couldnt get in.

Looking at the Three King Court in front of him, Situ Nan threw out a small seal and then looked at Gui Ling, saying, Stop standing there; bring out the Bloodfall Crystal to open the hall.

Hmph, do you really need to say that! Gui Ling could only be tough on the surface.

Knowing that Shangs true self had arrived, he had become much more obedient.

No longer daring to have any evil thoughts, he just hoped for fairness upon entering. If he could gain some benefits, that would be enough. He didnt expect much, just hoping it would allow him to make further progress.

Facing an opponent like Shang who dared to confront the Universe Master, challenging them was like courting death. Even though the distance was so great, a breath of air could potentially extinguish them.

Crack!

The stone statues outside the hall began to loosen.

Everyones hearts tightened as a faint glow appeared in the eyes of the statues.

The strange sound echoed once again, incomprehensible to the onlookers. The sound was enchanting, emanating from the ancient hall of the Three Kings, representing the supreme legacy of the ancient kings.

The two statues trembled slightly, but unfortunately, due to the hasty demise of the Three Kings in the past, even the guardian statues were damaged, and their internal spiritual consciousness was non-functional.

Before the hall, only one statue slowly stood up, while the other shook for a while but failed to rise.

Tragic!

A massive aura began to gather, and everyone sensed the impending danger.

Without time to retreat, the stone giant, formed from the statue, wielding a massive axe, directly attacked the crowd.

Retreat!

Gui Ling shouted angrily. The tier 5 Emperors around him had long retreated to a safe distance.

The combat strength of the stone statue was unknown, but judging from its aura, it was unstoppable for any tier 6 Emperor.

woo!

After emitting another strange cry, the stone statue began to shrink, and its aura weakened. The previous axe strike severely injured several tier 6 Emperors, including Situ Nan.

Once the aura of the stone statue dropped to a certain level, a five-character word appeared on its chest.

Jian Wushuang recognized this character, and his eyes lit up.

Five!

What did it represent?

The stone statue suddenly shrank, and its strength plummeted.

What did this signify?

Jian Wushuang, standing at the rear, surveyed the others in front.

Five!

Tier 5 Emperor?

He counted them, and currently, there were the most tier 5 Emperors on the scene.

Understood!

This stone statue was also selectively challenging them.

Otherwise, with the power of the Three Kings, even a puppet guardian could easily defeat them.

The fact that it lowered its strength to match theirs indicated a certain consciousness manipulating it.

This was likely an inheritance, similar to the Qishen Temple, choosing successors.

However, the downfall of the Three Kings was too abrupt, and they were ill-prepared. Just this one stone statue blocked their way.

The other one seemed to be too ancient, unable to activate at all..
