“Increase the reward?”
Jin Wuhao coldly interrupted his words, his golden gaze piercing through the elder’s face like a sharp sword. “You mean, you want my god race to compete with a bunch of rats hiding in remote mountains in terms of wealth?”
The elder’s body trembled violently, and he immediately lowered his head: “This subordinate would not dare! This subordinate just”
“What a useless idea.”
Jin Wuhao stood up, his golden divine robe fluttering around him without any wind, and the tremendous pressure he emanated spread out as if it was real power, making the several elders kneeling in the hall almost unable to breathe.
“Our divine race has ruled the twenty heavens for tens of thousands of years, relying on strength, not crystals. The opportunists who wiped out the divine race for crystals today will finish off the demon race for crystals tomorrow. Competing with them for the prize will only make the divine race a laughing stock,” said Jin Wuhao.
“However, Sire, those human cultivators and beastmen have wiped out hundreds of our people. If we let this go unchecked, they will only run rampant.”
“I have my own way.” Jin Wuhao’s voice contained unwavering determination, and deep within his golden eyes radiated a light deeper than anger.
He slowly raised his right hand, his five fingers stretched out, and a ball of golden light condensed in his palm.
The light was dazzling, like little stars dancing in his palm, releasing a terrifying pressure.
The terrifying aura felt more intense than before, as if it had reached a higher realm.
The elders in the hall felt the terrifying aura, and their expressions changed drastically.
Some people gasped in shock, some trembled violently, and some were even pushed to the ground because of the enormous pressure.
“Your Majesty, Great Emperor”
“I sense that the barrier is getting weaker.”
Jin Wuhao’s voice contained a longing that had been suppressed for tens of thousands of years, a longing that surged in every word he spoke, burning like fire: “The barrier of peak ninth rank Golden Immortal Realm has shown cracks. I need a chance to seclude myself and break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm in the shortest time possible.”
Those words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, raising huge waves in the hall.
The elders looked up at the dazzling golden light in Jin Wuhao’s palm, their eyes filled with shock and excitement.
Great Golden Immortal!
That was the realm that all Golden Immortal cultivators dreamed of!
Above the Golden Immortal Realm were the Great Luo Golden Immortals, and above the Great Luo Golden Immortals were the Immortal Sovereigns, Immortal Kings, Immortal Emperors, and so on, all the way up to the legendary Saints.
Once Jin Wuhao broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, it would mean that he would enter a whole new level.
At that time, all the demon fugitives, all the opportunists of the human and beast races, all the Davids and Ning Zhi, would be nothing but ants.
Before the Great Luo Golden Immortal, all cultivators below the peak of the ninth rank of the Golden Immortal realm did not even have the right to stand.
“Divine Emperor!”
An elder’s voice trembled with excitement, “What resources are needed? I will prepare them immediately!”
“Collect all the precious resources of all the gods.”
Jin Wuhao’s voice was calm, but contained undeniable authority. “Heavenly Crystal Stones, Divine Source Liquid, materials for refining Great Luo Golden Pills—all the resources that can help you break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, send them all to the Divine Emperor Palace. I will go into seclusion to try to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.”
“Yes! I’ll take care of it right away!”
The elders rushed out of the main hall, their footsteps fading in the empty corridor, leaving only Jin Wuhao standing before the throne.
He stared at the surging sea of clouds outside the palace, his golden eyes swirling with complex light.
For tens of thousands of years, he had been stuck at the peak of the ninth rank of the Golden Immortal Realm.
He tried to break through the barrier of the Great Luo Golden Immortal many times, but every attempt ended in failure.
But this time, he felt something was different.
The invisible barrier had completely loosened.
It was as if something had been pried open in the darkness, allowing him to see the light behind the door.
Maybe it was anger, maybe it was pressure, or maybe it was the clowns’ provocation that awakened his long-repressed fighting spirit.
Whatever the reason, the opportunity is right in front of us.
“David Ning Zhi”
Jin Wuhao muttered the two names, a bitterly cold smile on his lips. “You think eliminating Elder Shenmu will shake the foundations of the God Clan?”
“You think you can hide in the Black Abyss Valley and be safe? Once I break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, you will know what true despair is.”
He turned around and walked towards a secluded meditation room located deep within the main hall.
The golden robe left a long shadow in the darkness, like a golden road leading to an unknown distance.
