Chapter 377 - 15 Leaders (1/2)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Five days after the Heavenly Palace made that announcement, the leaders of the Seven Empires and Eight Sanctums gathered together to discuss this matter.
They were gathered within a hall in the Canghai Ziggurat.
The Canghai Ziggurat was a neutral Sanctum and very rarely participated in conflicts, and they also had a trustworthy reputation.
Yang Xindi drummed his fingers on the table as he spoke first, “The Heavenly Palace is killing two birds with one stone with this tactic. Not only do they seem completely justified in killing people, but they also have caused divisions between us and the top experts of our age. Once the Sword Emperor, Xian Xianghua, and the others die, even if our human race can continue to exist, we will struggle at death’s door and will have to live like slaves.”
His intention was clear: They could not allow the Heavenly Palace to do as it wished.
Zeng Junlou followed by saying, “That’s right, we should ally with the Sword Emperor and others and counterattack against the Heavenly Palace.”
The other leaders all felt roughly the same way.
Zhou Xuanji had saved the human race more than once; how could they sacrifice him?
What’s more, if he died, the human race would lose its greatest battle power.
Yang Di sat in the corner and did not say anything.
He was now the Emperor of the Hunyuan Empire and the most powerful person present.
Hearing everyone else praise Zhou Xuanji, he felt quite dissatisfied.
He was the real number one in the world!
However, he did not act out of anger; it was clear as to who the biggest threat right now was.
“I feel we should ally with overseas factions; the human race should unify together,” Li Yinyu said. After saying this, everyone else fell quiet.
…
Overseas.
They could all tell how powerful the overseas factions were, but they had not made this explicit and continued to live in the fantasies that the Northern Wilderness reigned supreme.
Now that Li Yinyu had brought up the overseas factions, they felt even more pressure.
……
Sun Hill, within Fate Emperor River.
The surging Fate rose up from the bottom of Fate Emperor River and entered Zhou Xuanji’s body, making his body and mind feel quite comfortable.
He could clearly sense his cultivation quickly increasing, and this feeling was difficult to describe.
At the same time, his comprehension towards World Overlord grew more and more.
Fate Emperor River was a physical manifestation of Heaven and Earth Fate, and the spirit qi that he absorbed came from the depths of the earth, making it incredibly pure spirit qi.
The profoundness of World Overlord was that it could control Heaven and Earth Power and cause one to become the overlord of the world. It was quite similar to the current situation.
Dong! Dong! Dong…
His heartbeats could suddenly be heard, incredibly powerful and vigorous, like a mighty bell. Even Fate Emperor River was unable to cover it up.
By the side of the river, Xian Xianghua and Founding Emperor Chi Wei also heard this sound.
“Just how powerful is his body?” Founding Emperor Chi Wei said out of amazement. It was the first time he had heard such a terrifying heartbeat before.
It was like a massive demon of ancient times that had lived for countless years.
Xian Xianghua thought to herself. This kind of heartbeat was not something that could be developed through only cultivation.
It seemed that this boy was not simple at all and had many secrets.
Perhaps it was the effect of the World Buddha Art.
However, no matter what it was, she felt quite happy.
She liked how deep and unfathomable Zhou Xuanji was. If she could see through him, where would the anticipation and excitement be?
Time continued to pass.
It had already been ten days since Zhou Xuanji had entered Fate Emperor River.
There were still no signs of how close he was to becoming a Great Emperor.
He could only do his best to become stronger.
As for whether or not he could become a Great Emperor, that was up to the will of the heavens.
