Chapter 295 The Shock of an Old Friend
Everyone laughed when they saw Long Hao's expression. "Good, good, good, he really has something to be proud of."
The atmosphere was cheerful. At this moment, Feng Xi leaned over and asked curiously:
"Great Emperor, Great Emperor, who is this Creation Emperor? Is he an Empress?"
Jiang Hao nodded: "It's the Empress. Her name is Yun Li. She's an incredibly powerful person, having reached the pinnacle of the Great Dao of Creation, and has lived several lifetimes."
Feng Xi's eyes shone brightly: "Wow, that's amazing! Then I need to work even harder, I want to become an empress too!"
"Go for it! I believe in you!"
Feng Wu glanced at her niece, a smile in her eyes.
The little war emperor counted on his fingers:
"The Creation Emperor, the Qiankun Emperor, the Qilin Emperor, the Demon Emperor, the Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor, the Qianyuan Emperor, the Yaochi Emperor, the Yuan Emperor, plus Uncle Jiang, that makes eight. I never thought that our ancient era already had eight Dao Provers. How fast!"
"Yes." Everyone nodded in agreement, deeply moved. They had just woken up to find the world had changed so much.
Jiang Hao looked at them and smiled slightly.
"Actually, there are more than eight."
Everyone was taken aback and looked at Jiang Hao. More than eight? There are more?
"Actually, there was another emperor, known as the Demon Emperor, but he is already dead."
Dead? Everyone was filled with doubt. What had happened?
The Fighting Saint Venerable asked directly, "Demon Emperor? That title doesn't sound right. How did he die?"
Jiang Hao picked up his teacup, took a sip, and began to speak slowly.
"When he was a child, the Demon Emperor Fang Yuan obtained a demonic technique. In order to cultivate it, he killed all his relatives."
Everyone's expression changed. Killing one's own family for cultivation? Is this something a human being could do?
That's so heartless!
"Later on his path to enlightenment, he killed many more prodigies, including his friends and those who liked him."
"Killing his best friend and the person he likes? This Demon Emperor is too perverted!" Feng Xi was shocked. How could someone like this become an emperor?
Everyone nodded; they neither understood nor approved of the Demon Emperor's ruthless actions.
"But he doesn't kill ordinary people," Jiang Hao continued.
"He only killed prodigies to plunder their origins, and finally succeeded in attaining enlightenment. After that, he became arrogant and wanted to take over the Heavenly Court!"
Upon hearing this, everyone raised an eyebrow. Challenging the Heavenly Emperor? That's certainly arrogant. Everyone was speechless. As expected of the Demon Emperor, he's truly courageous.
"And then?" Little War Emperor's eyes widened, his face full of curiosity.
"Then one of my avatars severely injured him with a single strike, and he became obedient."
Everyone: "..."
As expected, they guessed that the Demon Emperor would suffer a setback, but they didn't expect it to end with just one strike.
"Later, he went to the forbidden zone and killed several Supreme Beings," Jiang Hao said.
He returned to his palace and soon passed away peacefully.
Everyone remained silent for a while.
The Fighting Saint Venerable was the first to speak, his tone harsh: "He killed his own family? And his friend? Is he even human?"
Long Hao frowned as well: "You can't practice demonic arts like this, can you? You're killing your own family and friends, what's the point of cultivation?"
The ancient god said slowly, "The title of Demon Emperor is well-deserved; his actions are indeed too extreme."
Luo Hongchen sighed softly, "If you cultivate to the point of losing your humanity, what kind of cultivation is that?"
Feng Wu said softly, "Those relatives and friends are so innocent."
Feng Xi nodded firmly.
The Little War Emperor scratched his head: "But in the end, he went to kill the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone, so he did do a good deed, right?"
Chu Changge rarely spoke, but his tone was calm: "Human nature is complex; sometimes it's hard to distinguish between good and bad people."
Everyone fell silent again.
Yes, human nature is complex.
A man who killed his family and friends ended up killing several supreme beings in forbidden zones who were causing havoc on all living beings.
If you say he's bad, he really is rotten to the core; if you say he's good, he has indeed done good deeds.
Long Hao flicked his tail and sighed, "Forget it, let's not talk about him anymore. He's dead, there's no point in saying anything."
The Fighting Saint nodded: "Yes, let's not talk about him anymore. Let's talk about something happy."
Feng Xi joined in, grinning, and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, tell me something else? Is there anything else fun?"
"Then..." Jiang Hao paused, "a True Immortal came from the outside world, wanting to refine the Origin Realm."
The entire hall fell silent upon hearing this.
True Immortal?
A true immortal from the outside world?
The teacup in the hand of the Fighting Saint Venerable stopped in mid-air, Long Hao's dragon tail froze, and Feng Wu's hand holding the teacup tightened slightly.
Feng Xi and the Little War Emperor stared wide-eyed, while Chu Changge's gaze fluctuated violently.
"A True Immortal?" The Fighting Saint's voice tightened. "Is he really one of those legendary beings?"
Jiang Hao nodded: "Yes, it's the realm that all beings in the Origin Realm have been desperately pursuing, the True Immortal Realm. There's a True Immortal named An Qiong who wants to refine the Origin Realm and enslave all beings."
"hiss!"
Everyone gasped upon hearing this.
The true immortals came from the outside world, intending to refine the Origin Realm and enslave all living beings. Just hearing this, everyone could feel the despair and pressure felt by the beings in the Origin Realm at that time.
"And then?" Long Hao asked hastily.
Jiang Hao smiled and said, "Of course, we'll kill him."
The hall was quiet for a while.
Then it exploded.
"Killed him?" Long Hao jumped up. "That was a true immortal, a legendary immortal! Really?"
Jiang Hao laughed and said, "Of course it's true. An Qiong's corpse was later used to evolve the world."
Everyone was at a loss for words.
Kill a true immortal.
They wouldn't even dare to think about such a thing.
And this close friend of mine not only did it, but also talked about it so casually.
Feng Wu looked at Jiang Hao, her eyes filled with heartache.
She is experiencing mixed feelings: shock, pride, and heartache.
Killing an immortal is definitely not an easy task; how many injuries must one suffer in the process?
"Your Majesty, what happened next?" Feng Xi asked curiously.
"later…"
Jiang Hao continued, "An Qiong has a grandfather named An Ming, who is also a True Immortal, and even stronger. He refined the Great Dao of another world called Dao Xuan Realm to heal his injuries."
"Lingbao, Yuanshi, and I went to the Dao Xuan Realm, separated him from the Great Dao, and then killed him."
Everyone fell silent again.
Killing one true immortal wasn't enough, so you killed another one?
And it's even stronger? Is that right?
Long Hao swallowed hard: "Old Jiang, you can kill True Immortals, what realm are you at now?"
Jiang Hao thought for a moment and said, "It's still within the realm of humanity, but killing a True Immortal is enough."
"..."
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances. It was still within the realm of humanity, but killing a true immortal was enough.
This statement sounds contradictory and is quite shocking. If someone else had said it, Feng Wu and the others definitely wouldn't have believed it.
But now they believe it.
Because the person who said this was Jiang Hao, a man who has always been creating miracles.
"After killing An Ming, we brought back the Dao Xuan Realm and merged it with the Origin Realm."
Jiang Hao continued, "The two realms merged, the world evolved, and then you woke up. That's about it, nothing special."
Jiang Hao spoke casually, but everyone present knew how difficult it had been to get to this point.
To unify the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, establish the Heavenly Court, open the path to ascension, slay true immortals, and evolve the Origin Realm...
Every single one of these events, if performed by any individual, would be a monumental achievement worthy of being recorded in history and celebrated for eternity.
Jiang Hao did it all.
And you did it so quickly and so well!
Feng Xi looked at Jiang Hao with admiration: "Great Emperor, you are so amazing! Killing True Immortals and evolving into the Origin Realm—I wouldn't even dare to dream of such things!"
Little War Emperor nodded and echoed, "Uncle Jiang is invincible!"
Chu Changge didn't speak, but his eyes were full of admiration as he looked at Jiang Hao.
"It's alright, it's alright."
Jiang Hao quite enjoyed the admiration of the younger generation. Everyone likes the feeling of being admired; it's the same for everyone.
Not to mention the admiration of the younger generation of geniuses.
