Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1872 Chapter 500: Quasi-Emperor's Hand (Part 3)

His speech cut straight to the bone, stabbing like a dagger into everyone's hearts.

Everyone except the elite houses of the Eastern Domain wore grim looks on their faces.

Within the Emperor Clan and Dao Clan, numerous individuals creased their brows faintly.

"Mingyuan, this Immortal Emperor's remarks are overly severe."

A senior from the Emperor Clan murmured quietly; he stood at the pinnacle of the Immortal King Realm, having climbed to the 110th floor of the Heaven Tower.

"No matter how severe, the truth remains."

Di Mingyuan kept his face impassive, merely knitting his eyebrows a touch.

Noting his demeanor, the rest of the Emperor Clan couldn't press the issue more.

While they held the Great Emperors in high esteem, the presence of an Emperor in their own lineage and their natural arrogance made confronting one feel distinct from how others did.

"Even if aid is impossible, I'll battle until my last breath alongside my clan!"

In a surge of fury, an Immortal King from the Ancestor Dragon Clan bellowed, his cry echoing like a dragon's roar across the Abyss.

The Immortal Immortal Emperor shot him a look, his gaze brimming with icy resolve, making the Abyss's air seem to freeze and the Heaven Tower turn into ancient frost.

Myriad cultivators sensed a deep chill spreading, as though they'd been thrust into a frozen chasm.

Suddenly, countless expressions twisted in shock, staring in awe at the Immortal Immortal Emperor.

Two majestic imperial forms loomed over the Heaven Tower, overlooking all beings below with chilling stares that pulsed with immense power.

"If death is your desire, I'll deliver it without delay."

The Immortal Immortal Emperor uttered with frosty detachment: "Resources for your cultivation come from the Ten Thousand Clans, Star and I stand here beside you, guiding your path—not to show you ways to perish!"

"True bravery, true Dragon Bone means you must train with unyielding focus, rise as the mightiest Immortal King, ascend to True King! Only then can you command the Ten Thousand Clans' forces, defend the Eastern Domain, protect your home, and should it crumble, seek vengeance, unleash your wrath!"

With icy tone, the Immortal Immortal Emperor pressed on: "Not like this, just joining the ranks of the lost—the Eastern Domain already has plenty of the fallen; it requires no more!"

Chill as his statements rang, they carried deep wisdom, and such ruthlessness surpassed mere kindness.

Expressions across many faces flickered, heads lowered in quiet reflection, yes, they trained here, devouring top-tier resources at premium standards, all sustained by the Ten Thousand Clans' offerings!

The Immortal King from the Ancestor Dragon Clan, who had spoken out earlier, fell silent under the weight of those words.

"I'm eager to witness how many True Kings the Eastern Domain will forge this round!"

The Immortal Immortal Emperor sneered with chill: "A initial contest begins now, provisionally ordering the True Kings; from the Heaven Tower's latest ranks, tenth spot hits the 118th floor!"

"At most, you've got three hundred more years here for cultivation!"

"Maybe even fewer!"

"Give it your all in this last sprint!"

At this revelation, those in the Abyss traded looks, merely two or three hundred years left for training?

That's scarcely time for a brief rest.

"Mingyuan, you must claim the top True King spot this time."

Emperor Clan members directed their eyes to Di Mingyuan, their lineage's successor, holding first in the Heaven Tower at an incredible 145th floor!

Since entering the Abyss until this moment, Di Mingyuan's progress had leaped almost forty floors!

Consider this: Di Mingyuan's years numbered in the thousands, yet his breakthroughs stayed swift, showcasing his exceptional talent.

This also highlighted the deep reserves of his clan, enabling his ongoing surges forward.

"Speaking of it now is premature."

Di Mingyuan's eyes stayed steady, but deep down, he burned with determination to seize the leading True King role; after all, from an Emperor Clan background, topping the lists came naturally to him.

"Proceed; the preselection's top ten earners will gain a Quasi-Emperor Weapon fragment from Star Empress and myself!"

The Immortal Immortal Emperor declared.

These words sparked immediate chaos in the Abyss.

Quasi-Emperor Weapon!

Such lavish bounty from two Immortal Emperors!

Wielders of a Quasi-Emperor Weapon would dominate the Immortal King Realm without question, rivaling even Quasi-Emperors.

For a moment, Immortal Kings from every clan buzzed with excitement, while those lagging behind ached like they'd watched their own Quasi-Emperor Weapon slip away to rivals.

"Miss, in these five hundred years, your advancement has been remarkable; you hold the strength to vie for True King!"

A Dao Clan elder addressed a lady clad in Dao robes.

She was Dao Qingyin, heir to the Dao Clan, yet much younger than Di Mingyuan, leaving her cultivation base and roots far behind.

Still, after five hundred years honing skills at the Great Emperor Dojo under the two Immortal Emperors' tutelage, her power had surged; starting with barely over 70 floors, she now surpassed 100, hitting 110!

With three hundred more years, she could narrow that divide!

"Yes, I've now attained peak Immortal King Realm."

Dao Qingyin noted, her gaze gleaming brightly.

Once the Immortal Immortal Emperor gave the signal, hordes dashed toward the Heaven Tower.

This trial spanned just ten years.

All pushed hard to crack the top ten, particularly the clan's strong contenders hovering near the 110th floor.

"You head over and take part in the thrill as well."

Di Mingyuan told his companions.

"Mingyuan, why not join us?"

"A mere prelim round bores me; I'd prefer to focus on training. A Quasi-Emperor Weapon... holds no appeal for me."

Di Mingyuan answered steadily, then shifted to form a Realm, resuming his isolated practice.

Inside that Realm, terrifying Emperor's Might surged, Divine Light enveloped it—clearly, this was the King's Domain!

After catching Di Mingyuan's response, the other Emperor Clan seniors grinned with ease, comprehending fully; they quickly grouped up and moved to the Heaven Tower.

"Merely a small lure from the elders, yet the stir is underwhelming."

In the Saint Clans, a pair—a man and a woman—watched the commotion, shook their heads, and settled back into their closed-door cultivation.

As fourth in the Ten Thousand Clans' order, they had no shortage of Quasi-Emperor Weapons, prioritizing instead the ultimate showdown.

They understood well that among the ranked clans, certain ones hadn't unleashed their full might yet, concealing their aces.
