Chapter 732: Chapter 731 Summoning the Emperor
"In the end, we’re still not strong enough. If we were, what would forbidden lands matter, and what would quasi-emperors amount to? We would be able to defeat them all the same."
"After all, we’ve been underestimated by those guys, who think they can handle us, the Demon God Temple. Though it comes at a great cost, they believe they can afford it."
Liu Zheng took a deep breath. This time, with nineteen chances to draw from the lottery, he absolutely had to pull a strong ally.
"System, I want to draw from the lottery."
As Liu Zheng’s voice settled, the familiar black vortex appeared once again, flashing with mysterious patterns that seemed to have existed since the beginning of the universe.
Subsequently, a divine light flickered and a phantom figure emerged from the vortex.
"What is this?"
Even though the figure had not yet been summoned, Liu Zheng knew from its aura that this person was extraordinary.
In just a moment, a presence that overwhelmed all realms and inspired dread in countless beings emerged, akin to an ancient emperor.
The aura was even more dreadful than that of Xiang Batian and the others.
Clearly, the person summoned this time was going to be even more powerful than Xiang Batian.
At the very least, he was of the Emperor Realm.
Soon, Liu Zheng also saw the figure clearly—a venerable old man with white hair, but with bright, piercing eyes, as if the whole world lay within his gaze. He stood there quietly, with the Dao of the surrounding area actively resonating with him.
Liu Zheng’s lips curled upward. There was no doubt this was an emperor.
On his very first draw, he had pulled an emperor. Obviously, his luck this time was not bad at all.
It didn’t come at a loss, considering the amount of fortune value he had wasted on the previous lottery.
The system’s voice rang out, "Congratulations to the host for drawing an Eternal Emperor."
The system’s voice confirmed it was indeed an emperor, though from a different time, he was nonetheless an exceptional prodigy in this world.
In this world, amongst all the emperors, the Eternal Emperor could be ranked within the top five.
One must know that this world had seen several hundred emperors, and to be ranked at the forefront meant his combat power was indeed terrifying.
"According to the terms used in the Celestial Realm, this counts as a top figure among emperors."
Liu Zheng smiled faintly, his mood clearly very good.
How could he not be pleased when he was able to draw such a strong fighter on his first attempt?
After all, he still had eighteen more chances, which meant he had the opportunity to draw a second, or even a third formidable figure.
"Let the Eternal Emperor come forth, but hide his aura. We don’t want to cause a sensation."
An emperor, unlike other realms, would resonate with the entire Dao Realm upon arrival. Soon, all paths would strive for dominance, and everyone would know the Demon God Temple possessed an emperor.
Liu Zheng certainly didn’t want everyone to know in order to catch them unawares.
In a moment, the Eternal Emperor stepped out from the vortex, standing atop the peak. Even though he had concealed his aura, the formidable nature of his presence still caused a great commotion.
Instantly, Xiang Batian and Yue Qingfeng were jolted awake, roused from their cultivation, their expressions grave as they gazed at the Eternal Emperor: "An emperor!"
"This is no ordinary emperor. Even among emperors, he’s a prodigy."
In Yue Qingfeng’s world, there wasn’t just one emperor, but several, so his insight was comparatively vast. The emperors of his world were no match for this old man. Only those who stood at the pinnacle were on par with him.
The gaze of the Eternal Emperor flickered across Xiang Batian and Yue Qingfeng, profound like the vastness of a starry sea, boundless and formidable, instilling fear.
Even just a casual glance was enough to make Xiang Batian and Yue Qingfeng’s hearts tremble. This was an emperor, a being whose very essence of life had been elevated.
This sense of disparity was like the difference between heaven and earth; even the Greatly Accomplished Supreme Dao Physique could not contend with it.
At that moment, Liu Zheng walked out of the palace. Xiang Batian and Yue Qingfeng quickly positioned themselves in front of him as protectors, cautioning him, "Hall Master, be careful. This is a true emperor!"
Liu Zheng patted Xiang Batian on the shoulder and said, "Don’t worry, he is also our ally."
Xiang Batian and Yue Qingfeng were instantly stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief as they looked at the Eternal Emperor.
Is this actually one of their companions?
Subsequently, the ancient emperor approached Liu Zheng and respectfully said, "The ancient pays homage to the Hall Master."
"Ancient, there’s no need for such courtesy. Please get up," Liu Zheng said as he helped the ancient emperor to his feet, and then briefed him on the situation.
He then instructed Xiang Batian to familiarize the ancient emperor with the tasks ahead.
Upon hearing that a Quasi-Emperor was preparing to take action, disdain was evident on the ancient emperor’s face, "No need to worry, they are just a bunch of degenerates, I will take care of them."
As an emperor giant, he had his own pride.
A single person could combat several emperors, let alone these Quasi-Emperors.
Liu Zheng then had a chat with the ancient emperor before returning to his room.
He still had eighteen chances left to draw.
"System, continue the lottery," Liu Zheng silently commanded in his heart.
At that moment, the familiar vortex appeared once more, but this time it was only a Saint Realm Cultivator.
"As expected, luck is really unpredictable," Liu Zheng sighed, finding it truly difficult to continuously draw good things.
He then continued with the lottery.
Saint Realm Cultivators, Quasi-Emperor Cultivators...
Liu Zheng was rendered speechless.
"I refuse to believe this; keep going."
With these results, Liu Zheng had an idea of his odds, especially as he had just hit the jackpot.
The chaos vortex appeared once more, and then a heroic, outstanding shadow emerged from within it.
Even without seeing the person, Liu Zheng could already feel the formidable presence.
"Ding-dong, congratulations to the host for summoning Yue Qingfeng with the Greatly Accomplished Supreme Dao Physique, do you wish to summon now?" the system’s voice announced.
Liu Zheng immediately chose to summon but also instructed Yue Qingfeng not to make any movements.
Fortune had arrived.
He didn’t expect to draw another cultivator with the Greatly Accomplished Supreme Physique.
Now, he possessed both the Overlord’s Body and the Supreme Tao Body, the two most top-tier constitutions in the world were his.
The Overlord Body and the Taoist Body were inherently incompatible, and while no one knew the specific reason, it seemed innate, as the bearers of these two physiques simply disliked each other.
But Liu Zheng wasn’t worried; even if the two were at odds, they wouldn’t come to blows.
"Three Greatly Accomplished Supreme Physiques, it’s a pity they are not of the Emperor Realm, only Quasi-Emperors at the ninth layer. If they were of the Emperor Realm, they would certainly be no less formidable than the ancient emperor," Liu Zheng felt a slight regret.
The Greatly Accomplished Supreme Physique was already outrageous, and if it had been verified as an Emperor Realm, it would have been against the heavens.
In the Emperor Realm, one could sweep away everything.
Very few could contend with it.
"With three Greatly Accomplished Supreme Physiques and one Emperor, even if two forbidden lands were to act together, the Demon God Temple would be able to withstand them."
"But this is not enough. If we are to make a move, then we must drive our opponents to despair."
