Chapter 5430 Guardians

Chapter 5430 Guardians

Encountering Emperors weaker than oneself was not an occasion for bullying, and in the presence of stronger ones, respect naturally prevailed.

The atmosphere was harmonious, devoid of any disputes.

Even the younger generation, upon reaching the realm of Transcendent Immortality, would undergo the trials of the Qishen Temple.

For the mundane beings, in the Original Universe, there were plenty of treasures to nurture them.

Even if certain treasures were lacking, they could be procured from the Four Great Secret Realms. Even the current Emperors were too lazy to venture out.

What was there to explore? Innate Treasures? Origin Source treasures? All deemed as rubbish. It was better to scavenge in the Four Great Secret Realms.

In the presence of numerous powerhouses, Hu Qing appeared like the protagonist, engaging in conversations and receiving congratulations from various strong beings.

Jian Wushuang stood in the corner, silently remarking in his heart, "Congratulations, Hu Qing!"

Standing there like a lackey, was this the difference?

Just as everyone was engrossed in their discussions, a massive black hole manifested behind the spring.

Everyone was startled and quickly retreated.

Just as everyone was engrossed in their discussions, a massive black hole manifested behind the spring.

Everyone was startled and quickly retreated.

Jian Wushuang even moved to the very back, prepared to escape at any moment.

Even if there were treasures, he wouldn't have a chance. It was better to stay far away.

From within the black hole, a towering figure emerged.

He seemed to be one with the black hole, walking out with the destructive force within.

"Shang!" Chishui rejoiced.

The newcomer was none other than one of the only two Ultimate Emperors, 'Shang'.

First, he nodded towards everyone, then turned to Hu Qing and said, "Congratulations. Don't disappoint the cultivation efforts of Lord Zhen Ling!"

Hu Qing also understood now.

This place was probably the opportunity granted to him by Lord Zhen Ling.

"I came here to deal with the Universe Master. You guys move forward quickly; greater opportunities lie ahead!"

As Shang's words fell, he erupted towards the direction behind them. Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

His figure seemed to pause for a moment and eventually turned into an afterimage, slowly disappearing.

Others were relatively unfazed, merely impressed by Shang's strength without much astonishment.

However, for Gui Ling and others, their experiences were limited.

Some among them had never even encountered a supreme-peak expert.

Gui Ling had more exposure, having ventured into the Inner Sea Monster Court and encountered the true Monster Emperor, a supreme-peak level expert.

There were only two supreme-peak experts in the Monster Race of the Earth Realm, one establishing the Monster Court in the Western Sea, and the other residing in Tainnan—a low-key monster wolf that he had only heard of but never seen.

Facing an opponent like Shang who dared to confront the Universe Master, challenging them was like courting death. Even though the distance was so great, a breath of air could potentially extinguish them.

Crack!

The stone statues outside the hall began to loosen.

Everyone's hearts tightened as a faint glow appeared in the eyes of the statues.

The strange sound echoed once again, incomprehensible to the onlookers. The sound was enchanting, emanating from the ancient hall of the Three Kings, representing the supreme legacy of the ancient kings.

The two statues trembled slightly, but unfortunately, due to the hasty demise of the Three Kings in the past, even the guardian statues were damaged, and their internal spiritual consciousness was non-functional.

Before the hall, only one statue slowly stood up, while the other shook for a while but failed to rise.

Tragic!

A massive aura began to gather, and everyone sensed the impending danger.

Without time to retreat, the stone giant, formed from the statue, wielding a massive axe, directly attacked the crowd.

"Retreat!"

Gui Ling shouted angrily. The tier 5 Emperors around him had long retreated to a safe distance.

The combat strength of the stone statue was unknown, but judging from its aura, it was unstoppable for any tier 6 Emperor.

Woo!

After emitting another strange cry, the stone statue began to shrink, and its aura weakened. The previous axe strike severely injured several tier 6 Emperors, including Situ Nan.

Once the aura of the stone statue dropped to a certain level, a five-character word appeared on its chest.

Jian Wushuang recognized this character, and his eyes lit up.

Five!

What did it represent?

The stone statue suddenly shrank, and its strength plummeted.

What did this signify?

Jian Wushuang, standing at the rear, surveyed the others in front.

Five!

Tier 5 Emperor?

He counted them, and currently, there were the most tier 5 Emperors on the scene.

Understood!

This stone statue was also selectively challenging them.

Otherwise, with the power of the Three Kings, even a puppet guardian could easily defeat them.

The fact that it lowered its strength to match theirs indicated a certain consciousness manipulating it.

This was likely an inheritance, similar to the Qishen Temple, choosing successors.

However, the downfall of the Three Kings was too abrupt, and they were ill-prepared. Just this one stone statue blocked their way.

The other one seemed to be too ancient, unable to activate at all.
