The Holy Emperor experts who had come from Mercenary City immediately became overjoyed. They were all overjoyed because the person who had become a Holy Emperor this time was their great elder, Tian Jian.
"Fantastic, fantastic. Great elder Tian Jian has finally broken through in the final moments of his life. He's become a Holy Emperor and possesses a lifespan of ten thousand years. From today onwards, our Mercenary City finally has a Holy Emperor."
The Holy Emperor experts from Mercenary City were all overjoyed when they saw Tian Jian radiate with the presence of a Holy Emperor. From their expressions, it was as if the person who had broken through was not Tian Jian but them.
However, the people from the protector clans all frowned. Other than the Holy Emperor experts from the Pure Heart Pavilion and the Tyrant's Blade School, as well as Changyang Zu Yunxiao, Changyang Zu Yunxiao, and Changyang Zu Xiao, who had hurried over from the Kingdom of Gesun, all the other Holy Emperor experts from the protector clans revealed very ugly expressions.
Tian Jian becoming a Holy Emperor was definitely a joyous matter for Mercenary City, but it was not something that most of the people from the protector clans wished to see. They would rather see the person who had become a Holy Emperor be from any one of the protector clans than someone from Mercenary City.
This was because there was a supreme divine hall in Mercenary City. The divine hall had been left behind by the greatest human expert in ancient times, Mo Tianyun. Its toughness had completely surpassed any divine hall on the Tian Yuan Continent, reaching an unimaginable level. This was because even if a Holy Emperor used his full strength, he would not be able to leave a single mark on the divine hall. Probably only someone who had surpassed the Holy Emperor and reached the Origin realm could break through the divine hall.
Not only did the divine hall left behind by Mo Tianyun make all the Holy Emperor experts despair in terms of defense, it also possessed an ability that no divine hall on the Tian Yuan Continent had ever possessed before, which was offensive power. Not only could the divine hall be used to block the attacks of any Holy Emperor, but it could also be used to attack anyone.
Many years ago, a great battle had erupted between Mercenary City and the protector clans of the Tian Yuan Continent. During that battle, many of the protector clans worked together to suppress Mercenary City. In the end, a Holy Emperor of Mercenary City used the divine hall to attack, using the divine hall to kill over ten Holy Emperor experts from the protector clans all by himself. This shook up the entire continent and defended Mercenary City's unshakeable status on the continent.
In the eyes of the ten protector clans, the divine hall of Mercenary City was even more terrifying than the barrier spirit. This was because the barrier spirit only protected Mercenary City from being attacked. It was a type of defensive power and would not actively attack. However, the divine hall was different. As long as there was a Holy Emperor in Mercenary City, he could control the divine hall to go anywhere. It was even entirely possible for him to use the divine hall to attack the protector clans.
The divine hall of Mercenary City had once been an invincible existence when the protector clans were at their peak. Every single clan possessed several Holy Emperor experts. No one could stop them, but now, the protector clans were nowhere near as powerful as they were in the past. They did not even have a single Holy Emperor. Even if they used everything they had, they would not be able to contend against the divine hall of Mercenary City with such weak strength.
Although they knew that it was impossible for Mercenary City to move against the protector clans, the balance of power between the protector clans and Mercenary City had been completely broken. They needed to be on guard.
At this moment, the tremendous presence around Tian Jian slowly withdrew. Even the unstable pulses of energy within him completely vanished. He had completely controlled the sudden surge of energy from becoming a Holy Emperor. Afterwards, he slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was extremely calm, but it was as deep as ink.
"Congratulations, great elder Tian Jian, on becoming a Holy Emperor!"
As soon as Tian Jian stood up, all the Holy Emperor experts in the distance came over to congratulate him. Their voices were filled with deep envy. Aside from the protector clans, the other Holy Emperor experts did not have any special thoughts about Tian Jian becoming a Holy Emperor. This was because to them, it did not matter whether Mercenary City had a Holy Emperor or not. Even if Mercenary City did not have a Holy Emperor, it was still a tremendous existence in their eyes that could not be provoked.
The Holy Emperor experts of the protector clans all congratulated Tian Jian as well. Although many of them did not wish to see a Holy Emperor appear in Mercenary City, they needed to lower their heads now.
Several million kilometers away in Mercenary City, the commotion caused by the nine-colored clouds in the sky had completely subsided. However, there were still many people who discussed the rumors regarding the nine-colored clouds, but even more people were discussing the identity and background of the person who had become a Holy Emperor.
The lowest mercenaries and small clans probably did not know what the nine-colored clouds signified, but it was no secret to most people in Mercenary City. This was because quite a few of the people gathered in Mercenary City came from hermit clans or even ancient clans. They had all heard of the legends of clouds accompanying every breakthrough above Saint Ruler. As a result, people could be heard talking about a certain great figure of the Tian Yuan Continent in the restaurants and streets of Mercenary City. Some people said it was a member of the ten protector clans, while others said it was a member of an ancient clan. There were even some people who said it was a hermit, independent cultivator, and so on.
In short, no one thought that the person who had become a Holy Emperor this time would be a great elder of Mercenary City. They all believed that if someone from Mercenary City became a Holy Emperor, it would definitely be in the city. However, almost all the Holy Emperor experts had left Mercenary City to learn who had become a Holy Emperor. The person who had become a Holy Emperor clearly did not belong to Mercenary City.
Just as everyone was discussing enthusiastically, Mercenary City suddenly began to tremble violently. It was like an earthquake had occurred. The tremors were extremely violent, causing many people in Mercenary City to almost fall to the ground due to being caught off guard.
"What's going on? What's happening …"
"Earthquake! Earthquake! Mercenary City is having an earthquake …"
"Bullshit! What kind of place is Mercenary City? Don't forget that there's a powerful barrier spirit protecting this place. How can there be an earthquake … "
The sudden tremors in Mercenary City immediately startled everyone. Many people ran onto the streets in a panic as they looked around in surprise and doubt.
None of the people who could come to Mercenary City were weak. Let alone a small earthquake, they had even seen landslides and tsunamis that were even more terrifying than an earthquake. The reason why they were so flustered by the sudden earthquake was because the earthquake did not occur in any of the ordinary cities outside. Instead, it occurred in Mercenary City.
This was because all of them knew that Mercenary City was protected by a powerful barrier. Since ancient times, no one had been able to break through the barrier, which was why it was no exaggeration to call Mercenary City the safest place on the Tian Yuan Continent. The city protected by the barrier was always peaceful, and no one had ever heard of an earthquake.
Boom!
