Chapter 1655: Chapter 719: The Supreme’s Invitation

“Here they come.”

“The envoy from Han Xing Supreme Star City.”

“Cold Nether God Emperor.” The eyes of the Emperor Realm figures present all lit up, as the Star City Transmission Array not far away emitted radiant light reaching the skies.

Following that, eleven figures simultaneously appeared within the transmission array, each radiating a transcendent aura.

The leading middle-aged man, dressed in purple garments, had a haggard face with sunken eye sockets resembling a skull, and his visage exuded an aura of endless death.

Yet beside him stood a young man in a golden robe, whose aura burned fiercely like the origin of endless fire, forming a stark contrast with the haggard man in purple.

“That should be the Cold Nether God Emperor.”

“Who is the one beside him? Doesn’t seem like he’s Emperor Realm, doesn’t have that Emperor’s might or Dao rhythm, but his aura is quite unique…”

“The other nine, they are all Emperor Puppets!”

“These are the ’Han Xing Emperor Guards’, astonishingly nine of them… Each Han Xing Emperor Guard is said to be personally crafted by the Supreme, and every one possesses Emperor Peak strength, the quantity isn’t vast, yet nine were dispatched this time?”

“The combined force of nine Han Xing Emperor Guards, their battle strength could probably rival a Dominator.” The more than ten Emperor Realm beings present were mostly Emperor Peak existences, either core members of the Tianluo Universe Alliance or leaders of major powers, and were well-informed.

Yet at this moment, they couldn’t help but be astounded by the might of the Han Xing Supreme team.

This is the heritage of the Supreme Star City.

The envoy team dispatched, its power was enough to deter the highest echelon of any star city.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Eleven figures flew out of the transmission array.

“Brother Cold Nether, welcome to our Tianluo Star City, it’s a modest place, if there’s any inadequacies in our hospitality, we hope you’ll forgive us.” Cloud Moon Divine Emperor smiled and stepped forward, hands cupped in respect.

“Brother Cloud Moon, don’t be modest.” The Cold Nether God Emperor’s tone wasn’t so cold, nodding slightly, “Looking across the cosmos, the Tianluo Universe Alliance is quite renowned, I’ve come at the Supreme’s command, there are matters to trouble you with.”

“Haha.”

“The Supreme has commanded, our Tianluo Star City shall strive to fulfill, it’s our honor to serve the Supreme.” Cloud Moon Divine Emperor laughed, adopting a notably humble posture.

Then, he shifted his gaze to the golden-robed young man beside the Cold Nether God Emperor: “Brother Cold Nether, the one beside you, if I’m not mistaken, should be Yan Xu Quasi-Saint.”

“Correct.” Cold Nether God Emperor nodded: “Yan Xu, greet the Cloud Moon Divine Emperor.”

“Cloud Moon Divine Emperor.” The golden-robed youth merely nodded lightly, showing no sign of intending to perform a formal greeting.

“Yan Xu.” Cold Nether God Emperor frowned.

“Haha, Brother Cold Nether, Yan Xu Quasi-Saint is a Supreme Disciple, I wouldn’t dare accept his greeting, let’s skip it.” Cloud Moon Divine Emperor quickly laughed.

“It’s him!”

“Yan Xu Quasi-Saint, it’s actually him.”

“Supreme Disciple.” All the Emperor Realm figures present suddenly knew the identity of the golden-robed youth.

“Yan Xu, it’s really him.” The Purple Fire God King standing at the rear of the group directed his gaze onto the golden-robed youth and thoughts flooded his mind.

Yan Xu Quasi-Saint, like himself, was a Seventh Rank Quasi-Saint.

Akin to having Ten-Star Vein Foundation.

Equally having cultivated two Eternal Daos, but the Yan Xu Quasi-Saint cultivated the Chaos Dao and Great Destruction Dao, rendering his material attacks terrifyingly extreme.

Moreover, Yan Xu Quasi-Saint is a disciple under the Supreme, having created multiple fearsome combat secret techniques, allowing him to genuinely achieve victories against Emperor Realm beings.

Looking across the vast cosmos, across the eighty-one Dark Domains, there’s quite a batch of Seventh Rank Quasi-Saints.

Each one is highly renowned.

But amidst this group of Seventh Rank Quasi-Saints, Yan Xu Quasi-Saint is undoubtedly, one of the most formidable in terms of battle strength.

In terms of fame, far outstrips the Purple Fire God King.

Whether it be material attacks, weaponry, absolute secret skills… in every aspect the Purple Fire God King falls short in comparison.

Even the Purple Fire God King’s specialty in life-preserving methods may not be superior, given the opponent is a Supreme disciple, who knows if there’s any hidden life-saving treasures.

Most crucially, the Yan Xu Quasi-Saint’s cultivation time is rather short, still less than a million years… so youthful, this also grants him infinite potential.

The prospect of becoming a future Dominator is quite hopeful.

Then.

Cloud Moon Divine Emperor pointed to the array of Emperor Realm beings on both sides and introduced: “Brother Cold Nether, Yan Xu Quasi-Saint, the Emperor Realm here are top-tier existences of our Tianluo Star City, you might recognize some, yet I should introduce them one by one.”

“This here is an Elder from our Tianluo Universe Alliance, Chi Fang.”

“This here is the Red Lotus Divine Emperor…”

“This here is…”

Cloud Moon Divine Emperor introduced one by one, Cold Nether God Emperor was also quite courteous greeting each Emperor Realm figure.

In reality, he recognized most of the Divine Emperors present, yet certain etiquette had to be maintained.

Cold Nether God Emperor was well aware, the Emperor Realm beings here seem respectful, revering the Supreme Star City, but that was mere appearance… truly at certain crucial moments, these Emperor Realm beings would dare to turn hostile.

Strength determines status.

An Emperor Peak existence, when facing the Supreme Star City, still has some confidence, at least having assurance of survival.

Yet throughout, Yan Xu Quasi-Saint’s expression remained cold, aside from greeting the Cloud Moon Divine Emperor, he uttered not a word.

“Lastly, these two.”

“These are the Divine Kings of our Tianluo Universe Alliance, one is Purple Fire, the other is Qian Feng,” Cloud Moon Divine Emperor introduced the two last, “For this opening of the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice, we have two spots below the Emperor Realm from Tianluo Star City, and they are the ones.”

“Purple Fire Quasi-Saint? I’ve long heard of your exceptional talent, seeing you is indeed better than hearing about you,” Cold Nether God Emperor said with a smile.

“You flatter me, Cold Nether God Emperor,” Purple Fire God King bowed slightly.

He certainly wouldn’t behave like Yan Xu Quasi-Saint.

“Purple Fire?” Yan Xu Quasi-Saint rarely showed any expression, his gaze landing on Purple Fire God King.

Obviously, both being Seventh Rank Quasi-Saints.

He paid more attention to Purple Fire God King than other present Emperor Realms.

“Brother Cloud Moon, if I’m not mistaken, the various Emperor Realms you invited today are likely those who will participate in the journey to the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice, right?” Cold Nether God Emperor said with a smile, though his smile remained rather unsettling.

“Yes,” Cloud Moon Divine Emperor nodded.

“Brother Cloud Moon is indeed smart. I am indeed here for the upcoming opening of the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice,” Cold Nether God Emperor stated, “Since everyone is here, I’ll be frank and not beat around the bush.”

“I’ve come mainly to reconfirm if you’d be willing to join my Han Xing Supreme Star City camp.”

“By joining the camp, you will receive protection, and the treasures you acquire will still be yours,” Cold Nether God Emperor said, “But you must follow the orders of the Supreme Star City, and must fight with all your strength at crucial moments.”

Instantly.

The atmosphere turned cold. The dozen or so Emperor Realms exchanged glances but said nothing.

The Abyssal Sea Sacrifice only opens once in hundreds of millions or even billions of years, and many present Emperor Realms have never participated, even those who have may have only attended once or twice, knowing very little about it…

They are willing to join the Supreme Star City camp.

But must obey orders? Fight desperately at critical times? Perhaps they are not quite willing.

At the end of the day, even Tianluo Star City only nominally follows the orders of the Han Xing Supreme Star City.

“Brother Cold Nether.”

“If there is mutual support, I believe everyone is willing to stand under the Supreme banner,” Cloud Moon Divine Emperor smiled, “But the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice environment is complex, every Emperor Realm excels at different aspects, large-scale cooperation may not be appropriate.”

“Could you give it more thought?”

Cold Nether God Emperor’s gaze swept over them, already understanding the thoughts of all the Emperor Realms, then nodded, “Perhaps you misunderstood, our Han Xing Supreme Star City will not force you, but there’s one thing you must agree to, do not join the camps of Chi Jun Star City or Heavenly Moon Supreme Star City.”

Clearly.

This was truly the bottom line requirement of Cold Nether God Emperor.

“On that point, Brother Cold Nether can rest assured,” Cloud Moon Divine Emperor smiled, “Everyone remembers?”

“Yes.”

“We shall naturally join the Han Xing Supreme Star City camp.”

“Jointly attacking increases the likelihood of acquiring treasures.” The present Emperor Realms finally started speaking one after another.

As long as they are not forced.

They don’t mind donning a ’camp uniform’.

Suddenly.

“Cloud Moon Divine Emperor.” Yan Xu Quasi-Saint, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, “There is something I don’t understand.”

“Please, Yan Xu Quasi-Saint,” Cloud Moon Divine Emperor said.

“In Tianluo Star City, below the Emperor Realm, the strongest in terms of strength should be Heart Source Quasi-Saint, followed by Purple Fire God King, right?” Yan Xu Quasi-Saint said in a deep voice, “Why was Heart Source Quasi-Saint not given a spot for the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice?”

“Instead, it was given to Qian Feng Quasi-Saint? It seems he is only Sixth Rank Quasi-Saint, even if he enters the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice, he would just be cannon fodder,” Yan Xu Quasi-Saint said indifferently.

Qian Feng Quasi-Saint’s face changed slightly, a hint of resentment passed deep in his eyes as he looked at Yan Xu Quasi-Saint.

Even if you want to hit someone, don’t hit their face.

“The slot for the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice was considered from multiple aspects,” Cloud Moon Divine Emperor’s smile remained unchanged, “Tianluo Star City has its reasons for such a decision, in terms of strength, I believe Qian Feng Quasi-Saint is among the stronger ones below Emperor Realms joining the battle.”

Cloud Moon Divine Emperor did not directly answer.

“I don’t care how strong this Qian Feng is, he is not a Seventh Rank Quasi-Saint anyway,” Yan Xu Quasi-Saint shook his head, “I just want to confirm, is it true Heart Source Quasi-Saint didn’t get the slot from Tianluo Star City for the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice?”

Cloud Moon Divine Emperor’s smile faded somewhat, “Indeed, he did not.”

“That’s fine then.”

“Chaos God Emperor.” Yan Xu Quasi-Saint looked at the distant Chaos God Emperor and said deeply, “If I remember correctly, Heart Source Quasi-Saint is a member of your Chaos Divine Court, right?”

“Yes.” Chaos God Emperor nodded slightly, while quickly pondering the reason behind the other’s question.

He was quite wary of this Yan Xu Quasi-Saint.

“Could you invite Heart Source Quasi-Saint to come?” Yan Xu Quasi-Saint said, “I am here for him.”

“For Heart Source?” Chaos God Emperor was moved and continued, “I’m sorry, Yan Xu Quasi-Saint, Heart Source Quasi-Saint has been out adventuring all along, his true body is not in the Star City.”

“Haha.”

“Brother Chaos, Yan Xu isn’t planning to compete with Heart Source Quasi-Saint, he just has something to inquire about,” Cold Nether God Emperor laughed, “Just have Heart Source Quasi-Saint’s incarnation descend.”

Chaos God Emperor looked toward Cloud Moon Divine Emperor.

“Brother Chaos, Yan Xu isn’t planning to compete with Heart Source Quasi-Saint, he just has something to inquire about,” Cold Nether God Emperor laughed, “Just have Heart Source Quasi-Saint’s incarnation descend.”

Chaos God Emperor looked toward Cloud Moon Divine Emperor.
