Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Su Han couldn’t help but look at the mountain.

His brows furrowed, and he said, "This method is indeed good, but the duration of the Emperor’s Order’s shadow is only two hours. By the time the exit opens, these shadows might all have disappeared. How can we know who has the Emperor’s Order? Can we search one by one?"

"Heh heh, my dear Sect Master, you are usually so wise, but you’re being a bit silly now!"

Ling Xiao winked: "Take out an Emperor’s Order and sense it carefully."

"Hmm?"

Su Han showed a hint of confusion and took out an Emperor’s Order.

Previously, he didn’t pay much attention, but at this moment, holding the Emperor’s Order, he immediately sensed Ling Xiao beside him!

And Ling Xiao also had an Emperor’s Order!

Su Han’s eyes suddenly lit up: "Can those who hold the Emperor’s Order sense if others have it too?!"

"Yes!"

Ling Xiao snapped his fingers and laughed heartily: "Not only that, but the more Emperor’s Orders one has, the stronger this sensing becomes!"

"Hahaha..."

Without another word, Su Han stepped forward.

"In that case, what are we waiting for? Let’s go!"

The two figures flashed, bursting out with their fastest speed, heading straight for the distant mountain.

Along the way, some saw the Emperor’s Order shadows above their heads and wanted to seize them, but the two were too fast. After pursuing for a moment, they gave up and turned their attention to others holding Emperor’s Orders.

...

Time passed, and two and a half days had gone by.

Su Han and Ling Xiao arrived at the foot of the mountain.

This mountain stood ten thousand feet high, its peak piercing the clouds. If the exit opened, it would surely be here.

"Let’s wait here." Su Han sat down cross-legged.

The surroundings were open and flat, unlike the bushy areas.

There were no people around because the Emperor’s Order shadows above the two had completely disappeared.

In the distant woods, the struggle continued.

The sounds of fighting, anger, roars, and explosions were incessant.

Even at this moment, there were still hundreds of Emperor’s Order shadows floating, clearly visible at a glance.

Ling Xiao couldn’t help but sigh: "There are too many people fighting for the Emperor’s Orders. One Emperor’s Order may have passed through dozens, or even hundreds of hands."

Su Han said: "Although we can seize Emperor’s Orders, we must not go too far, or it will provoke public anger."

"What do you think we should do?" Ling Xiao asked.

After pondering for a moment, Su Han said, "Based on the sensing of these Emperor’s Orders, if the opponent has only one Emperor’s Order, then we don’t seize it. For the rest, no matter how many they have, we leave them with just one."

"This method is good!"

Ling Xiao’s eyes brightened: "Heh heh, this way we won’t offend people and still get many Emperor’s Orders, but by then, a big battle will likely be unavoidable."

"If they want to fight, we’ll accompany them in battle!" Su Han raised his eyes to the distance, showing a fighting spirit.

Since reaching the Third-Grade Void Heaven Order, he hadn’t fully unleashed his peak combat power yet.

...

As time passed, another half day went by.

According to calculations, it should be night now, but the void remained bright.

"Boom!"

At a certain moment, a massive sound suddenly echoed from above.

Su Han and Ling Xiao both looked up, seeing a pitch-black hole appear in the void.

The hole grew larger, finally becoming about ten feet in diameter, floating quietly there.

At the sight of this black hole, all the Heavenly Talents were momentarily stunned.

Some showed regret, some gritted their teeth, and some were overjoyed.

They knew the exit had appeared!

The appearance of the exit signaled that the second stage of the assessment was about to end!

Those who had obtained the Emperor’s Order were excited, and those who hadn’t were anxious.

Even getting a single Emperor’s Order was good; although personal rankings might drop, they could advance to the third stage.

But if they didn’t get even one Emperor’s Order, they would be eliminated directly!

...

"Ah!!!"

In a certain bush, Di Lin’s face turned red, and he couldn’t help but roar.

"Damn things, you all should die!!!"

This curse vented Di Lin’s anger.

His luck was really good; from start to finish, he obtained at least nine Emperor’s Orders.

However, each time he got one, it would be snatched away immediately. If Di Lin hadn’t known he was inferior and didn’t persist, he might have been seriously injured or even had his cultivation base crippled by now.

In three days, Di Lin encountered Yuchi Jie and other Heavenly Talents from the Immortal King Sect.

Without a doubt, these people had found Emperor’s Orders, but they were all taken by others.

One of them had their body shattered, leaving only the Primordial Spirit.

Besides Su Han, Ling Xiao, and Ye Xiaofei, no other Heavenly Talent from the Immortal King Sect secured an Emperor’s Order.

Not a single one!

And judging by the floating Emperor’s Order shadows in the sky, Di Lin could guess that the three of Su Han didn’t get too many Emperor’s Orders, or else there wouldn’t be so many Emperor’s Order shadows.

"In the first stage, our Immortal King Sect swept all other sects. Are we going to fall into the same situation in this second stage?"

Di Lin murmured, "No, it can’t be... Su Baliu and the others are strong, and Ling Xiao and Ye Xiaofei are Divine Sea Realm powerhouses. They must have a plan!"

To advance to the third stage, at least one Emperor’s Order is necessary.

Di Lin felt that the three of Su Han most likely had at least two Emperor’s Orders.

But giving one to them would mean one less Emperor’s Order for Su Han and the others, affecting personal rankings!

Thinking of this, Di Lin couldn’t help but feel even angrier.

He had obviously gotten nine, but they were all taken.

Yet, beneath this anger was also helplessness.

Even powerful figures like the Divine Sons and Young Masters were robbed. What chance did he have?

If you’re not as skilled, saying anything is useless.

...

"Swish swish swish..."

Figures flew out of the bushes, heading straight for the mountain.

The exit appeared two hours before the end of the second stage, just enough time to reach it.

Of course, with their speed, an hour was enough.

And as they advanced, the numerous Emperor’s Order shadows gradually decreased.

From hundreds, reduced to about a hundred, then down to dozens...

Until they completely vanished.

An hour later, a large number of figures, overwhelming the sky, appeared in the sight of Su Han and Ling Xiao.

Watching them approach, Ling Xiao was so excited that he trembled slightly.

Su Han slowly stood up, looked into the distance, and murmured softly, "Our Emperor’s Orders are coming..."
