Chapter 462 - 457: News of the Tier Ten Demon
The entrance to the Realm Alliance was not as ambushed as imagined.
When Lin You followed the Anti-Alliance army to the convergence point of the two realms, what was left was just a mess with not a single figure in sight.
Looking through the plane’s entrance, one could vaguely see the scenery of the opposite realm, reminiscent of a reflection in water, appearing somewhat illusory.
"It seems they knew they couldn’t hold it and simply abandoned this entrance," Situ Jian said softly.
"Crossing this entrance will lead to the Demon Suppression Realm, which is one of the outermost realms within the Realm Alliance," Ji Yunshuang quickly followed up.
"The Demon Suppression Realm?" Lin You murmured quietly.
During this period, he had gained a rough understanding of the distribution of the Realm Alliance forces.
In general.
The Realm Alliance is divided into two main forces.
Centered around the Eternal Realm and the Demon Origin Realm, spreading outward to the surroundings.
Virtually all the planes adjacent to these two great realms have already joined the Realm Alliance, with little resistance present.
No one knows what methods the Realm Alliance used to make so many realms willingly join them.
Currently, the Realm Alliance is tightly bound together like a steel bucket.
Attacking their headquarters won’t be easy. Proper preparation for a long-term campaign is necessary.
And just as they arrived at the entrance to the Demon Suppression Realm.
The Low-level and Mid-level battle zone troops also arrived from two other directions, merging with them.
It was evident that they had also been victorious.
"Let’s go; follow me in."
With the Great Emperors nowhere to be found, the Yu Feng King, as the supreme commander, naturally became the commander of the entire battlefield.
With a command, he took the lead in crossing the barrier of the plane entrance, entering the Demon Suppression Realm.
The other Lords followed suit, naturally following along.
In an instant.
The massive team transformed into a torrent, swiftly converging.
"Stay close."
At the front of the Primordial Realm team, Ji Xinghe shouted, leading his team to keep pace.
Soon, Lin You and the others followed the Lords’ army through the plane barrier, entering the Demon Suppression Realm, and were immediately stunned by the scene before them.
The entire sky of the Demon Suppression Realm was shrouded in a black Evil Qi.
The clouds in the sky rolled and surged; at first glance, it seemed as if they had accidentally walked into Hell.
Where they stood was an expanse of endless blackened land, as if it had been scorched.
However, what shocked Lin You the most was the sky above.
Standing there were hundreds of towering figures, exuding an overwhelming aura of dominance that compelled submission.
"Great Emperors! They are all Great Emperors!" Yan Lie’s eyes widened in disbelief.
The others were equally astonished, all displaying shocked expressions.
It was their first time witnessing so many Great Emperors appearing at once.
A total of over six hundred, meaning each realm responsible for this battlefield had sent a Great Emperor to guard it.
Seeing this, it was evident why the Realm Alliance had retreated so swiftly; the Great Emperors had already advanced into this realm ahead of them.
"I can sense that there is a similarly powerful aura on the opposite side," Situ Jian said with a grim expression.
Upon hearing this, Lin You and the others couldn’t help but look toward the vast void on the other side, indeed feeling a heart-palpitating aura.
It didn’t need to be said that it was certainly a Great Emperor from the Realm Alliance confronting them.
Standing below, the intense atmosphere of impending battle was palpable.
"You have arrived."
At this moment, the space at the front of the Primordial Realm’s team twisted, and the Saint Radiance Emperor appeared before them out of nowhere, accompanied by a group of Tier Ten and Eleven Kings.
They were all Lords of the Primordial Realm, almost all present.
"Greetings, Great Emperor, esteemed seniors."
Ji Xinghe quickly bowed in salute to them.
Though he was a Duke King, he had to remain humble before these high authorities.
Fortunately.
This time, the Saint Radiance Emperor was sent from the Primordial Realm to guard, giving Lin You some peace of mind within the team.
"No need for formalities."
The Saint Radiance Emperor wasn’t as rigid as the other Great Emperors; he waved his hand, descending to the ground and coming to the forefront of their ranks.
"You’ve all worked hard on this journey," he said, glancing at the team behind him, then turning to the Kings behind him, "Each of you, take your country’s people and make arrangements."
Then he led Yuehua, Celestial Flame, Flame River, and nine other Duke Kings to the front of the Holy Radiance Empire’s team.
The Kings dispersed, gathering the Lords from their own countries to organize actions.
In no time, all the Lords from the Ten Great Dukedoms under the Holy Radiance Empire had gathered.
Only then did the Saint Radiance Emperor announce loudly:
"As you have all seen."
"All ten battlefields have successfully entered the Realm Alliance."
"We will establish a cross-border teleportation array here, as the Anti-Alliance Camp’s base."
"During this time, you can either wait in place or move freely in the surrounding area."
"But remember, do not stray too far, as the Realm Alliance’s army is right across."
His words caused a stir among the ranks.
From Tier Nine Lords down to Tier Six Lords, all couldn’t help but look into the distance.
Currently, they stood on the Realm Alliance’s territory, where they could encounter Realm Alliance Lords at any time.
If they unintentionally met a higher-tier Lord, they might not even know how they died.
"There’s one more thing."
At this moment, the voice of the Saint Radiance Emperor arose again.
"Due to some special reasons, the demons within the Realm Alliance have all been infected to varying degrees, undergoing evolution."
"In some areas, demons above Tier Ten might even appear. You should avoid wandering around during your excursions, as no one will be able to save you."
Tier Ten Demons?
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a shock in their hearts.
Demons of this level are rarely seen.
Even within the entire Kingdom territory, they hardly ever appear.
And once they do, they are typically dealt with immediately by the King or other Tier Ten and above powerhouses, so they’re rarely encountered.
However, contrary to the fear of the others, Lin You’s eyes lit up.
His Power of Faith had nearly reached the requirements to condense a Divine Format, and he had collected over ten thousand corpses.
With just a bit more preparation, he could try to meet the lowest tier of Tier Ten demons to obtain the last material for condensing the Divine Format, the Rule Fragment.
Hence, what he lacked now was just a suitable Tier Ten demon.
Ideally, an F-level demon, to give him greater assurance.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel a bit expectant.
This anticipation just happened to fall into the eyes of the Saint Radiance Emperor, who suddenly frowned.
"Lin You, are you planning something mischievous again?"
The Saint Radiance Emperor was long accustomed to Lin You causing all sorts of big events.
Seeing Lin You’s expression, he knew Lin You was planning something bold again.
Lin You didn’t expect the Saint Radiance Emperor to call him out suddenly.
All at once, everyone’s eyes were on him, brimming with surprise.
After all, being personally named by the Emperor is not an honor just anyone can have.
Faced with their gaze, Lin You awkwardly smiled.
"No, nothing really, I’m afraid of dying, what mischief could I plan?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, both Yan Lie and Situ Jian were speechless.
If he were afraid of dying, could he have just gone to hunt a Tier Nine Lord shortly after reaching Tier Eight?
Had they not known Lin You well, they would have almost been deceived by his innocent look.
Even Ji Yunshuang on the other side cast a sidelong glance at him, almost laughing at his words.
"Stop pretending." The Saint Radiance Emperor glared at Lin You fiercely. "Do you think I don’t know what you’re like? I called you to be my successor, but you refused and ran off to do your own thing. I won’t have time to save you next time."
!!!
Successor??
Now, everyone was stunned, looking at Lin You and then at the Saint Radiance Emperor in shock.
Even the ten Duke Kings beside them couldn’t help but change their expressions.
The Saint Radiance Emperor actually wanted Lin You to be his successor?
And he refused?
That’s the successor to the Emperor!
A position with the future potential to become an Emperor!
And he turned it down??
To know, the position of the Saint Radiance Emperor’s successor is something even they yearn for, dreaming of having!
To suddenly learn Lin You refused it made them almost think they had misheard.
But the Saint Radiance Emperor’s tone of reproach, with a hint of dissatisfaction, forced them to believe it was true, changing the way they looked at Lin You.
Because they clearly understood the character of the Saint Radiance Emperor; he would never say such things lightly.
Which means.
He truly saw great potential in Lin You!
"I just... wanted to see if I could rely on my own strength."
Lin You felt a deep bitterness inside, thinking this was something to say in front of others?
Rejecting even the position of the Emperor’s successor, these people might see him as a fool, or think he’s overestimating himself.
Fortunately, the Saint Radiance Emperor seemed to receive some summons and waved his hand, saying, "Anyway, do as you like, just don’t embarrass the Empire. I have to deal with something first, feel free to move around for now."
After speaking, he disappeared on the spot to join the other Emperors in the air.
And Yan Lie and the others in the team, examined Lin You with skeptical eyes, as if meeting him for the first time.
"Lin You, did you really refuse the position of the Emperor’s successor?" Yan Lie, straightforward as he was, asked out loud.
"More or less." Lin You shrugged helplessly.
Hearing this, Yan Lie, Situ Jian, and Ji Yunshuang opened their mouths but couldn’t say a word.
In the end.
Yan Lie gave him a thumbs up.
"You’re incredible!"
"..."
And so.
A brief interlude came to a temporary end.
Yet because of this incident, Lin You instantly became a celebrated figure within the Holy Radiance Empire, with many even coming specifically to greet him and build connections.
After all, being someone cherished by the Emperor.
Although he’s currently just a Tier Nine Lord, his future achievements are bound to be significant.
This they were very aware of.
