Perfect World: Ten Crowns

Chapter 417 A Grand Gathering, A Rectification of Names

puff!
Above the Boundary Sea, in an unknown land, blood light burst forth, incomparably scarlet. A fleshy body shattered and then reformed, with chaotic immortal light overflowing, shattering the long river of time.

"what"

Xia Sheng roared as he struggled to cross the river.

Being illuminated by the ancient artifacts of origin multiple times was an unbearable pain. If it were any other Immortal King, he would probably have turned into darkness long ago, but he is still struggling.

"Too dangerous!"

In the distance, Gu Zu sat cross-legged in the void, cold sweat constantly dripping from his cheeks. He was evolving the Great Dao of Time and Space, defying the Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth, and erasing the dark matter on his body.

Although he didn't directly come into contact with the ancient artifact, he was almost corrupted by the darkness simply because he was stained with the black blood on Xia Sheng's body, which shows how terrifying the ancient artifact is.

It took him three whole months to erase the dark substance that had inadvertently invaded his body.

Bang bang bang!
Gu Zu looked at the figure constantly being reshaped in the distance, and couldn't help but show a bit of admiration on his face. This young man, no, the current emperor, was really too terrifying, with limitless supernatural powers.

I hope you can pull through!

The old man spoke, activating the Great Dao of Time and Space, where the laws of order intertwined, covering the sky and enveloping this world.

He concealed the life force of both of them, hoping to give Xia Sheng enough time to recover.

This cycle repeated itself for a full thirty years before Xia Sheng finally managed to achieve a balance.

"This is not a place to stay. Let's leave."

These were his first words after opening his eyes. Having experienced the battle that destroyed the world, he completely trusted the Gu Zu and regarded him as one of his own.

"it is good!"

Gu Zu nodded, feeling a sense of relief.

Although the Emperor has not completely escaped the darkness, he has now passed the most dangerous moment, and now it is time to slowly erase it.

boom!
Soon after, the two crossed the dike and returned to the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, where the kings had been waiting for a long time.

"It's the Emperor! He's back!"

Upon seeing Xia Sheng, the crowd erupted in cheers.

Today, the name "Emperor" is practically a living myth.

When the Twilight of the Kings appeared, two major figures died, and four other foreign giants, including Kundi, went into seclusion, their fates unknown. How astonishing was this?

"My lord, have you returned to your peak?"

The Taotie King stepped forward to greet him, beaming with immense joy.

Thanks to the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, their losses weren't too great, but the alien realm lost a giant and eight or nine Immortal Kings. This battle was definitely very profitable and could be called a great victory.

The only thing that worried the princes was the safety of the emperor.

If he were to die or be thrown into darkness, it would undoubtedly be a devastating blow to the three major realms of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Immortal Realm, and the Burial Zone.

Now that they saw him return victorious, the kings naturally felt relieved.

"I'm fine."

Xia Sheng spoke, and his body shone brightly, with countless rays of immortal light scattering down, causing the kings in the arena to dare not look directly at him. It was too intense, like a celestial sun.

Beside him, Gu Zu smiled but didn't say much.

He knew that the Emperor wanted to stabilize the overall situation.

The Three Realms Alliance appears incredibly powerful, but in reality, it is rife with undercurrents, with each faction harboring its own ambitions. Only the Emperor can unite all forces.

"Fellow Daoist, your divine powers are vast! We eagerly await the second war to destroy the world!" said the Primordial Immortal King with a smile, clearly delighted.

Beside him, the kings of the Three Realms nodded in agreement. The Emperor's current state was far too powerful, and he also carried the might to destroy realms. Who would dare to provoke him here?
"Today's battle is a great victory, and those who have contributed should be rewarded accordingly!"

At this moment, Xia Sheng said that he proposed to start a grand event to wash away the bloodlust brought about by the great battle, and also to prove the existence of the Gu Zu and the Fallen Blood Phoenix.

He was certain that the Gu Zu was one of his own, otherwise he wouldn't have risked coming alone to greet him. As for the Fallen Blood Phoenix, although its motives were yet to be determined, its actions in the great battle proved its worth and it could not be ignored.

And so, a grand event began.

With kings descending to the mortal realm, immortals as companions, and all races of the Three Realms paying homage, this grand gathering was immensely magnificent, truly deserving to be called the grandest event in several eras.

"May the Emperor be victorious! May the Nine Heavens be victorious!" After learning more details from the kings, the younger generation sighed with admiration. This battle was too brilliant, and they had finally vented their anger.

"Bring that demonic dragon up here!"

At the height of the celebration, Xia Sheng, sitting in the main seat, suddenly spoke, raising the Immortal Dragon Cup in his hand, his eyes extremely cold.

Before rewarding merit, it is natural to first draw blood.

Soon, under the escort of the second-best in the world, Immortal Golden Daoist, the Dark Demon Dragon King was brought into the giant palace, his body covered with dense golden runes.

Upon seeing the Dark Dragon, the eyes of everyone present immediately turned cold.

This executioner, in order to save his own life, had his hands stained with blood during the ancient battle of the Immortal Realm. Countless true immortal families and ancient ancestors died at his hands.

"Your Majesty, spare my life! I'll serve you as a slave, please spare my life!"

The dark dragon, which had been struggling, fell silent the moment it saw Xia Sheng, begging for mercy like a docile little snake.

This emperor was too terrifying, possessing supreme dragon aura that made it hard for him to breathe. The Dark Dragon was even certain that he had surpassed the true dragon of yesteryear.

"How dare a lowly beast be worthy of being the master's mount!"

Upon hearing this, the Taotie King snorted coldly, letting out a muffled sound.

Trying to compete with him for a position is simply asking for trouble.

"Those who defect to foreign lands deserve to be executed; there's no need for further explanation."

Xia Sheng shook his head slightly and looked at the Gu Zu and the Fallen Blood Phoenix beside him.

He was willing to trust the two of them, not just because of trust, but also because of his confidence in his own strength. However, to gain the trust of the princes of the Imperial Court, he would need to use some methods.

After all, the battle between the immortals and the ancients was far too complex.

"I am willing to serve the Emperor!"

The Gu Zu and the Fallen Blood Phoenix understood each other, and then, under the watchful eyes of the kings, they both made their move, unleashing their killing powers. The Great Dao of Time and Space intertwined with the Phoenix Light, annihilating everything.

"No! You are also foreign invaders, your hands stained with the blood of the entire world. How could they possibly let you go?"

The dark dragon first begged for mercy, then let out a scream, and finally fell silent.

puff!
Finally, after a long time, the Dark Dragon perished, its spirit and essence dissipating.

Only the kings in the arena remained, looking at the Gu Zu and the Fallen Blood Phoenix with complicated expressions.

"I, on behalf of the Emperor, vindicate these two men. They are not traitors, and from this day forward, their innocence shall be restored!"

At this moment, Xia Sheng stood up and spoke, his expression extremely solemn.

He knew that the kings would not be able to accept this fact immediately, so let time prove it. With the return of the powerful figures from the depths of the Boundary Sea, they would eventually have a chance to prove themselves.

"After all, that era was far too complicated."

Then he added, letting out a sigh.

Upon hearing this, all the Immortal Kings shook their heads slightly. The ancient war between the immortals destroyed an entire realm. The events that occurred were far too complex for anyone to explain.

Then, after a series of awards and recognitions, the grand event came to a close.

The kings of the Immortal Realm and the Burial Realm all bid farewell.

This battle was too costly, and all the kings need time to heal the damage to their bodies.

After seeing off the last person, Xia Sheng's eyes flashed as he turned to look at the princes of the Imperial Court: "I am also going into seclusion."

The reason he has held on until now is that he wants to prove to the Three Realms and the other realms that as long as he is still alive, the world cannot be thrown into chaos.

Chi!
Then, his figure disappeared and vanished into the desolate borderlands.

It must have been tens of thousands of years.

"How is this possible? The ancient artifact has come back to life?"

Meanwhile, in another land, a momentous event was also taking place.
