Chapter 1908: Chapter 1905: Fierce Sun Emperor
————
Peak of the Xuanhuang Emperor Road.
The battle between Qiao Xinyu and the Evergreen Holy Daughter finally had a winner.
In the end, Qiao Xinyu emerged victorious.
And with Qiao Xinyu’s victory, her ranking jumped directly to second place, just below Ye Xuan!
This surprised the people on the mountain peak, and their gaze towards the Evergreen Holy Daughter changed.
They vaguely understood.
It seemed that defeating the Evergreen Holy Daughter brought them considerable benefits!
Although they knew they couldn’t contest Ye Xuan’s top position, they could still compete for second place.
It’s not shameful.
After all, Ye Xuan’s first place was too mysterious, unless they could overturn the rules of the Emperor Road.
But even Great Emperors couldn’t do that, let alone them.
By now, they had accepted their fate.
They no longer sought first place.
But they could aim for second.
According to predecessors, rankings determine the size of opportunities.
Since first place was out of reach, they would treat second place as the new first to contend for.
The Evergreen Holy Daughter received the infusion of power from the peak of the Xuanhuang Emperor Road, replenishing the strength exhausted in the battle with Qiao Xinyu.
Moreover, her aura was noticeably more enduring than before, and her power was stronger.
Feeling this change in power, the Evergreen Holy Daughter didn’t have much thought about the defeat.
Losing was inevitable.
Back then, she paid a heavy price to fall into slumber here, so being alive was already good.
Power needs to be regained step by step to return to the peak.
The first battle was lost, but the feedback it brought her was better.
Ultimately, it was a win-win for her and Qiao Xinyu.
Feeling the hostility from others, a faint smile appeared on the Evergreen Holy Daughter’s lips. Her immensely beautiful face held a transcendent confidence.
From now on, she wouldn’t lose anymore.
"Senior."
Cao Yi and the gray-robed old man sighed in relief upon seeing the Evergreen Holy Daughter unharmed.
"One battle."
Before they could speak much more with the Evergreen Holy Daughter, another formidable Snow Storage stepped forward, looking at her with intense fighting spirit.
This person named Zhang Xue was an ancient Snow Storage.
It is said he was from hundreds of thousands of years ago, and upon his revival, even his own Sect was gone.
Other Snow Storages were awakened by the strong members of their Sects, but he, through sheer willpower, forced his eyes open.
Needless to say, his tale was quite tragic.
Before his slumber, his Sect was a notorious major power.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself all alone.
He couldn’t even expect anyone to see him off as he embarked on the Emperor Road.
But it didn’t matter; having reached here and entering the Great Saint Realm, his future was bound to be extraordinary, and once leaving the Emperor Road, he could also create a supreme Sacred Land on his own!
At this moment, Zhang Xue challenged the Evergreen Holy Daughter.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, Cao Yi stomped her foot in anger but was helpless.
The gray-robed old man looked at the Evergreen Holy Daughter, his old eyes filled with gravity.
The Evergreen Holy Daughter smiled faintly and said, "No need to worry, I won’t lose again."
The battle ensued once more.
"This guy moves really fast."
Others who couldn’t fight couldn’t help but murmur upon seeing the scene.
However, it didn’t bother people too much.
After all, on the mountain peak, mysterious light shrouded as Snow Storages emerged one after another.
These Snow Storages included geniuses from ninety thousand years ago, the same era as the Double Emperors, as well as ancient Snow Storages from a million years back, and those from the same Heavenly Dragon Era as the Evergreen Holy Daughter.
So far, the Heavenly Dragon Era seemed like a dividing line; Snow Storages before this era have never appeared.
Perhaps they slumbered here and could never wake again.
Snow Storages, put simply, felt that this era wasn’t theirs and chose to evade the erosion of time, burying themselves waiting for a better era to arrive.
They would then awaken with a new posture when that era arrived.
Most Snow Storages were like this.
But not all Snow Storages could come back to life.
In contrast, many Snow Storages would never wake up again.
Evading the erosion of time required vast resources, which ordinary Sects couldn’t afford.
Forcing such a path would ultimately harm oneself.
Time flows endlessly.
In this magnificent, vast River of Time, countless people have had the thought of slumbering on the Emperor Road, waiting to awaken the next time it opens for another Emperor Road struggle.
Yet countless people remain eternally asleep on the Emperor Road, unable to open their eyes.
Not to mention the entire Emperor Road, just the peak of the Xuanhuang Emperor Road alone had numerous absolute powers choosing to slumber.
Yet those who truly opened their eyes were rare.
Only those scant few dozen.
When another Snow Storage appeared, Jiang Ya promptly went to challenge, securing a victory.
Other Great Saint Realm strong ones weren’t idle either, eyeing other Snow Storages.
Time flew by, and the battle between the Evergreen Holy Daughter and Zhang Xue ended first.
The outcome was shocking, as the Evergreen Holy Daughter won.
Zhang Xue, upon appearing, was heavily injured. If not for being an Undying Great Saint, he might have perished.
This outcome was truly unexpected.
After this battle, the Evergreen Holy Daughter’s aura seemed even stronger.
Mysterious light emerged.
The entire peak of the Xuanhuang Emperor Road was engulfed in boundless Fiery Flames.
It was as if a deity within the flames was awakening.
All eyes focused on that sun-like figure.
Especially Gu Changge, who rarely felt battle intent again.
This force similar to his spurred his desire to fight.
Soon, flames amassed around this figure.
The mysterious light faded, and the sun vanished.
A majestic, handsome young man in red robes appeared before everyone.
This handsome young man had earrings burning with crimson flames, wore a defiant smile, and had a domineering aura.
His feet were suspended in the air, with two Fire Dragons roaring beneath him.
Standing atop dragons.
"Fierce Sun Emperor?!"
Upon seeing this man, both the gray-robed elder from the Evergreen Immortal Sect and the turtle elder from the Purple Cloud Demon Sect were taken aback.
"I didn’t expect him to become a Snow Storage as well, no wonder he went silent after ascending the Emperor Road."
The sight of the Fierce Sun Emperor caught the attention of many present.
"Fierce Sun Emperor..."
Gu Changge squinted at the Fierce Sun Emperor.
Simultaneously, the Fierce Sun Emperor was also assessing Gu Changge.
Both vaguely sensed that they were each other’s obstacles on the Emperor Road.
That origin-like power made them view each other as opponents.
"Master..."
Meanwhile, the East Desolate Wolf squinted, hinting at Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan glanced lightly at the Fierce Sun Emperor and said calmly, "What, you want to bite him?"
The East Desolate Wolf instantly fell silent.
