Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1924 Chapter 516: No Emperor in the True Realm, Southern Domain Bloodbath (Part 2)

Within the Heaven Tower, as selections concluded, immense activity erupted among the clans outside, preparing rapidly for movement.

"Our clan has been chosen by Heavenly King Hao Tian! Hurry, make haste to prepare for the migration to the Southern Domain!"

"Madam, swiftly inform the elders and all clan members. Ours, the Su Family, must relocate to the Southern Domain!"

"But what of this ancestral land in the Northern Domain...?"

"The ancestors decreed: wherever our prosperity lies, that shall be our home!"

Numerous great clans commenced their relocations, and the established order of the True Realm was undergoing swift transformation.

Concurrently, at the frontiers of every domain, assaults from Ancient Demons began to emerge in succession.

"An alliance? Amassing an army? These adversaries are truly persistent!"

"After eight centuries of dormancy, I heard they were cultivating the top Immortal Kings from various clans, but within that Abyss... Hmph, the auras of twelve Emperors were detected. Now they dare to show themselves; they must feel invincible."

"We shall launch a surprise attack while they are in disarray. I am aware of a Transmission Immortal Array capable of severing their retreat!"

Across the entirety of the True Realm, the Ancient Demons were also initiating their plans.

"Excellent, our clan has been selected by the Second True King. While I remain unfamiliar with Heavenly King Hao Tian's background, I surmise that only a Great Emperor's reincarnation could rival him. Our survival is assured!"

"Quickly, assemble the entire clan and await the arrival of the True King Commander."

In the Southern Domain, every clan sprang into action, filled with elation at being chosen by Li Hao and Shi Miao.

Deep within the Heaven Tower, the Emperors observed in silence as Li Hao and the others made their choices of forces.

"It is time for us to act as well. Those adversaries are poised to make their move, and every moment we delay results in further loss of life."

"Summon them. After these long years of silence, they must now emerge."

"This impending catastrophe leaves them with no alternative but to join us. Should they wish to remain uninvolved, they must seek refuge in the Origin Land!"

As waves of Emperor Dao energy permeated through the fabric of space-time, hidden figures across the True Realm perceived these unusual fluctuations.

Within the Primordial True Realm, amidst the vast Chaos Sea.

"Are those individuals finally prepared?"

In the Chaos Hall, the Chaos Immortal Emperor tilted his head upwards, his disciples arranged expectantly before him.

His gaze seemed to pierce through space-time, encompassing the True Realm and the Emperors scattered across immense distances.

"This old debt must indeed be settled; it has been ten thousand years..."

The Chaos Immortal Emperor uttered softly, then addressed his disciples: "For this impending campaign, I shall depart. You are to obey the commands of the Black Emperor. He has undergone reincarnation specifically for this battle; act precisely as I have instructed."

"Yes, Master."

The disciples bowed their heads in unison, accepting the decree.

"Master, brothers, sisters, you must... take care."

One disciple spoke, his face etched with concern.

The Chaos Immortal Emperor's expression remained composed, as if he had long accepted the inevitability of life and death. However, his Quasi-Emperor disciples wore looks of deep solemnity. They understood that the most brutal theater of this conflict would not be within the True Realm, but in the Origin Land of the exotic realm where the Emperors would clash. There, it was inevitable that Emperors would fall, just as they had ten thousand years prior, and perhaps even more would perish.

Yet, with the True Realm facing such dire peril, they could not simply stand by.

"Guard our Original Land well."

Upon the Primordial Immortal Mountain, the Original Immortal Emperor imparted his words indifferently to his disciples. He belonged to the Chaos Ancient Clan and held little regard for the True Realm itself. However, as the encroaching calamity seeped into the Primordial True Realm, should the outer layers of the True Realm fracture, it would spell the doom of the Primordial True Realm as well, compelling him to intervene.

In the Western Regions, high above a certain Sea of Death.

"Ah, ceaseless turmoil. Can an old man not simply fish in peace?"

An elderly man, adorned with a straw hat and holding a fishing rod, cast his gaze toward the distant sky, a hint of weariness clouding his features: "It appears involvement is unavoidable this time."

In the Northern Domain, within a desolate and frozen forbidden land.

Here, only ice and snow persisted, alongside rare flora and Dao Fruits that had crystallized from extreme cold. An ice coffin lay entombed deep within this forbidden territory.

Suddenly, a flurry of snow descended. The accumulation upon the ice coffin dispersed, revealing a radiating cold light and myriad Dao patterns. The ice coffin then cracked open, exposing an exquisitely carved visage, as blue eyes slowly fluttered open.

"Another era has dawned. Is the Heavenly Dao summoning me?"

...

Within the Heaven Tower, the ten True Kings had already concluded the division of the Ten Thousand Clans.

"Herein lies an Immortal Gate, capable of transporting all individuals to their designated Immortal Domains."

The Star Empress, observing that all selections had been finalized, gestured, and a majestic Immortal Gate materialized within the void.

"An Ancient Demon Emperor is already en route, intending to waylay all of you. Once the Heavenly Dao's Order of No Emperor is enacted, only then may you step through the Immortal Gate and assume guardianship over your respective domains."

"Henceforth, the True Realm's safekeeping is entrusted to your charge."

Upon hearing her pronouncement, a collective intake of breath rippled through the assembled individuals as they exchanged knowing glances.

"The Heavenly Dao's Order of No Emperor... our ancestor once mentioned its potential initiation ten thousand years prior. However, the majority of Emperors at that time were hesitant to participate, and thus it never commenced, resulting in only a fraction of Emperors engaging in that past catastrophe, leading to their demise."

Dao Qingyin's gaze fixed upon the Star Empress and the Immortal Immortal Emperor, a hushed observation following, "Now that the Ancient Demons have resurfaced, the Emperors who endured the disaster ten millennia ago recognize the grave threat they pose, and this time, they intend to unite for a decisive conflict!"

"The Order of No Emperor?"

Li Hao's eyes gleamed with intrigue; he had indeed heard whispers of this imminent battle, how the Emperors were poised to depart, though the precise mechanism of their exit remained unknown, likely intertwined with this very Order of No Emperor.

"It is said that when a significant number of Emperors converge, they possess the ability to influence the Heavenly Dao's will, compelling the Heavenly Dao to impose a certain decree or power upon the True Realm."

Shi Miao's voice resonated telepathically with Li Hao: "This Order of No Emperor, this time around, will transport the Emperors and Quasi-Emperors to a different locale. Consequently, the True Realm is poised to enter an epoch devoid of Emperors!"

Li Hao, taken aback, transmitted a query, "Would methods of concealing one's presence via Secret Techniques or self-sealing also result in this forced transference?"

"Most subterfuges are incapable of deceiving the Heavenly Dao. Even certain specialized seals will only permit continued existence if one remains dormant. Should you exert power beyond the confines of the seal, you risk immediate transference under the order," Shi Miao elucidated.
