Chapter 1698: Chapter 1309: Heroes of the World, the Hero Among Heroes—Who Can Compare?
"Buzz!"
The He’s Jade Disc, radiating green brilliance, vibrated fiercely as Qin Shi Huang’s nearly dissipated Power of Primordial Spirit retreated, emitting a powerful wave that nearly knocked Jiang Dali’s mighty palm away.
"This is..."
Jiang Dali’s gaze intensified, watching as a scorching and fiery blood mist burned and swiftly entered the He’s Jade Disc. He immediately reached out to grab it.
Before his fingers could touch it, a domineering emperorship erupted ferociously from the He’s Jade Disc.
"This belongs to the solitary one!"
Bang!
Jiang Dali’s palm was numbed and bounced away. He frowned and looked at the He’s Jade Disc, which had quickly calmed down after the intense light and wave receded. A message from the Primordial Spirit was conveyed.
"Qin Shi Huang! Since you have obtained the Phoenix Blood, my action this time settles our debts. If you don’t speak, I’ll assume you agree."
In the rapidly blurring sensory image of the emperor, a subtle hesitation occurred, knowing that Jiang Dali was provoking him to continue the exchange. Yet, he had achieved his goal, and did not wish to waste time with the younger one. With a cold snort, he completely cut off the medium contact established with the He’s Jade Disc, and his figure vanished.
"Qin Shi Huang sought revenge on Shakyamuni, yet he had another purpose—obtaining part of the Phoenix Essence Blood. He had mentioned that due to certain reasons, he couldn’t leave Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum and found it difficult to take action. Now that Shakyamuni is dead, it’s uncertain if the Phoenix Essence Blood will help resolve his predicament..."
Jiang Dali looked at the now calm He’s Jade Disc and pondered, uncertain if his decision to summon Qin Shi Huang for help was right or wrong.
With Shakyamuni dead now, his panel had also received a notification.
Although Shakyamuni was formidable, Qin Shi Huang—a once Eternal Emperor who contended with the Holy Dynasty Emperor—was far superior to Shakyamuni in countless ways.
And the ambition of this Eternal Emperor was even fiercer than Shakyamuni’s. If he resolves his temporary dilemma with the Phoenix Essence Blood and emerges from Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum, who knows what earth-shattering changes might occur in the world’s structure? Will it impact him and the Black Wind Village...
"No matter, now that it has happened, it’s too late to contemplate. Besides, even if Qin Shi Huang resurfaces, the one truly tense and troubled should not be me, but rather the Regent King of the Holy Dynasty..."
Jiang Dali composed himself, suddenly feeling his internal power recede along with the decline in momentum, and his Divine Tail rapidly retracted into his body.
A sense of exhaustion and weakness suddenly overtook him, and his stomach growled with severe hunger.
He looked down at the blood trails on his body; parts of his skin had swollen and turned purple due to the continuous impact from the Power Level Mahavira forces, but now was rapidly healing with the retreat of his mighty strength.
Glancing at the remaining golden silk pants, Jiang Dali exited the Divine Demon Golden Body state, his golden hair transitioning swiftly to black.
Wu Ming and Zhang Sanfeng approached.
Wu Ming solemnly looked at the He’s Jade Disc in Jiang Dali’s hand, and said, "The emperor-like aura revealed from that powerful Primordial Spirit Wave earlier is unprecedented, unlike the typical power and momentum at the Returning to Truth Realm. Which expert was that?"
Jiang Dali hung the He’s Jade Disc on his Fine Gold Belt and turned to respond, "He is indeed not a mere Returning to Truth Realm powerhouse but... Breaking Realm! In the entire vassal state, which emperor possesses Breaking Realm strength?"
"Was it him?!"
Both Wu Ming and Zhang Sanfeng’s bodies shivered, realizing whose terrifying aura it was, yet they weren’t surprised.
They both knew Shakyamuni was once the top alchemist Xu Fu summoned into the Qin State’s Imperial Palace, who betrayed Qin Shi Huang. Qin Shi Huang’s action today seemed logical.
What shocked them was that, after so many years, Qin Shi Huang was still alive and exhibited such power. Could it be that this Eternal Emperor truly unraveled the secret to immortality?
"How are Lord Yin and Sword Saint faring?"
Jiang Dali wished not to dwell on Qin Shi Huang’s matters, and suddenly recalled the heavily injured Yin Zhong and the Sword Saint who had just unleashed Sword Twenty-Three, his handsome face suddenly changing.
The three of them turned and swiftly moved towards the battlefield, which was now filled with scars and devastation.
...
Shortly afterward.
With the demise of Heavenly Gate Master Shakyamuni, the large Heavenly Gate lost resistance, with its many experts either captured or scattered.
In an instant, the various battle scenes and outcomes of the Heavenly Gate battle were published on the Jianghu Forum by Players and quickly spread across the north and south, known to all in the Martial World. Those sects previously oppressed and forced by Heavenly Gate were relieved, celebrating joyfully.
Yet, soon after, some sects and forces began to worry, fearing that the expert camp led by the Black Wind Village Chief would, after obliterating Heavenly Gate, ambitiously annex the entire Heavenly Gate, allowing the Black Wind Village to dominate the vassal state, becoming even more arrogant than Heavenly Gate, and overpowering the Martial World.
These concerns and accompanying rumors quickly proliferated within the Martial World. Some sects even turned to the Shaolin Ancestral Court, requesting Shaolin to supervise and balance the Black Wind Village, to prevent a force more terrifying than Heavenly Gate from forming and oppressing the entire Martial World.
