Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor-Chapter 1902 - 1901: Departure! (Fifth Update!)

Amidst the gaze of thousands, a rift suddenly tore open in the void above the thousand-zhang clearing.

Hundreds of figures flashed out from the rift, including Vice Sect Master Yuchi Tiannan, whom we met last night!

At this moment, Yuchi Tiannan was clearly not the main figure; he stood beside another middle-aged man.

This man had a smile on his lips yet carried an inherent majesty. Clad in a robe decorated with dragon and phoenix designs, he stood there with his hands behind his back, as if the entire heaven and earth operated for him.

Sect Master of the Immortal King Sect — Di Heng!

A Heavenly Emperor Realm powerhouse!!!

That terrifying pressure, which could make the surrounding void tremble with a mere breath, was unquestionably discernible to Su Han as the power of a Heavenly Emperor Realm!

"Greetings to the Sect Master, greetings to the Vice Sect Master!!!"

Seeing Di Heng, who hadn’t appeared in a millennium, also present, the entire Immortal King Sect was in complete uproar!

In a manner akin to Su Han’s status within the Phoenix Sect, Di Heng was a god-like figure within the Immortal King Sect.

And Su Han, only a Third-Grade Void Heaven Realm cultivator, while Di Heng was at the Heavenly Emperor Realm, the pinnacle figure in the entire Lower-Class Star Region!

From a certain perspective, the Immortal King Sect disciples’ fervor for Di Heng was even stronger than the Phoenix Sect disciples’ fervor for Su Han.

Yuchi Tiannan smiled as he scanned the surroundings, nodding slightly when his gaze fell upon Su Han.

Di Heng raised his hands, gently pressing down, and the chaotic noise around instantly disappeared.

The entire Immortal King Sect fell silent.

"The Heavenly Talent Tournament, held once every hundred thousand years, time truly flies by..."

Di Heng spoke, his voice resonating in all directions.

"Thinking back to the last Heavenly Talent Tournament, it feels like just yesterday."

Pausing slightly, Di Heng looked at the twenty heavenly talents participating in the tournament and sighed, "This time, it depends on all of you."

Upon hearing this, except for Su Han, Ling Xiao, and Ye Xiaofei and Lin Fengjie, the other sixteen all tensed up.

"In every Heavenly Talent Tournament, this Sect always says—even if you lose, you won’t be blamed. After all, there are always people better than you beyond our comprehension, but..."

Di Heng continued, "But our Immortal King Sect has consecutively lost for twenty-one times, except for that one time when the Vice Sect Master ranked sixteenth, we’ve always been left out beyond fifty!"

Su Han’s pupils shrank, involuntarily looking towards Yuchi Tiannan.

So the one who ranked sixteenth as a heavenly talent was Yuchi Tiannan!

By calculation, with the tournament held every hundred thousand years, two million two hundred thousand years have passed now, and Yuchi Tiannan has already reached the Dao Sovereign Realm!

"Indeed impressive."

Lin Fengjie transmitted to Su Han, "The Heavenly Talent Tournament is full of freaks. Vice Sect Master Yuchi managing to secure rank sixteen for the Immortal King Sect is indeed strong."

Su Han gently nodded.

"Twenty-one times... To this day, our Immortal King Sect has lost twenty-one times!"

Di Heng continued, "This isn’t to discourage you, but you all know what kind of humiliation our Immortal King Sect has endured over these twenty-one tournaments!"

"The Immortal King Sect really cannot afford to lose anymore..."

"Father!"

Suddenly, a young man emerged from the crowd, knelt on one knee, and said solemnly, "This time, I will do my utmost, even unto death, to prevent our Immortal King Sect from suffering such humiliation again!"

This young man is the true Young Sect Master of the Immortal King Sect, Di Heng’s only son — Di Lin!

"We will go through fire and water, not hesitating to die ten thousand times!!!"

Some other heavenly talents also shouted, their throats almost strained.

"Damn, this atmosphere makes me want to shout a few times too," Ling Xiao transmitted softly.

"Can you shut up?"

Ye Xiaofei replied discontentedly, "There are Heavenly Emperor Realm and Dao Sovereign Realm powerhouses here; do you think they can’t hear your voice transmission?"

"Oh..." Ling Xiao responded, indeed quieting down.

"Good!"

With a solemn expression, Di Heng declared immediately, "This time, the Sect will not indulge you. This time, our Immortal King Sect’s goal is no longer casual; at the very least, you must enter the top fifty for the Sect!"

"Yes!!!" Various heavenly talents roared.

Di Heng shifted his gaze toward Su Han once more.

"Young Master Su, the Deputy Sect Master has informed this Sect of last night’s events. For this occasion, the leader of the Immortal King Sect will be Su Baliu. All conditions mentioned by the Deputy Sect Master have been approved by this Sect. We hope Young Master Su will not disappoint us!"

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—

Numerous gazes were directed at Su Han.

Apparently, the Immortal King Sect appointing Su Han as the leader this time was something the disciples hadn’t expected.

They only knew that to allow Su Han and others to participate, the Deputy Sect Master forcibly seized the spots from Lu Fei and others, but they hadn’t expected that both the Deputy Sect Master and the Sect Master would value Su Han so much.

In their imagination, regardless of cultivation base or identity, shouldn’t this leader be Young Sect Master Di Lin, who is about to step into the First Grade Divine Sea Realm?

Di Lin appeared calm, but among the other fifteen people, quite a few secretly frowned.

However, at this moment, they didn’t dare to speak much.

Su Han took a deep breath and, clasping his fists, said, "Thanks to Sect Master and Vice Sect Master for your high regard, I will certainly give it my all!"

"Very well..."

Di Heng paused slightly, then the next moment—

His eyes lifted, light bursting forth, and his resounding shout echoed everywhere.

"Immortal King Sect, set out!"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

As his voice fell, hundreds of powerhouses behind him flickered and scattered around.

Their palms waved, releasing terrifying pressure. Their immense power shattered the void, creating a realm of darkness.

Within that darkness, three massive teleportation formations emerged slowly.

"Go!"

Su Han spoke directly, and although he didn’t unleash his peak aura, his presence was imposing.

Taking the lead, he paced forward, his figure soaring through the void, heading straight for the teleportation formation.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Trailing behind him, many figures followed closely.

Di Heng didn’t follow, while Yuchi Tiannan raised his head. Numerous strong individuals from the Immortal King Sect, as well as disciples eligible to watch in the Savage Immortal Territory, also surged towards the teleportation formation.

"Whirr, whirr, whirr..."

The teleportation formations flashed incessantly, and the figures of Su Han and others had long disappeared.

A total of 100,000 people gained the opportunity to head to the Savage Immortal Territory to observe, including Lu Fei, Mingkan, and the other four whose spots were taken.

Even though they received ten billion Spirit Crystals, they still felt somewhat unwilling, as the opportunity was a one-time chance; they wanted to see if Su Han and others truly possessed such strength!

Gazing at the disappearing figures, light flickered in Di Heng’s eyes, and a murmuring voice slowly arose in his heart.

"Nine Shadows Young Master, do not let this Sect down..."
