The Peerless Emperor

In the back mountains of the Yuan family, Yuan Supreme stood in front of his own wooden hut, staring speechlessly at the massive portal suddenly erected by the men from the Huaxia Empire's Fire Department.

The enormous portal, by Yuan Supreme's estimation, could at least accommodate tens of thousands of people passing through at once. What exactly was Lin Qian planning?

At this moment, standing before the portal were not only Yuan Supreme but also the current Family Head of the Yuan family, Yuan Wudi, as well as a group of Supreme Elders who stayed behind in the Yuan family, and the present ten Great Elders of the Yuan family.

They had learned from Yuan Supreme's mouth the instructions of the ancient ancestor Yuan Xiang for the Yuan family, to follow the recently sensational Lin Qian.

As for such a strange request from their own ancient ancestor, they could not understand it at all. What perplexed them even more was that Yuan Supreme seemed to be very obedient to this Lin Qian.

"Leading the army of the Huaxia Empire to attack the Yun family, to suppress the rebellious?" Yuan Wudi looked at the huge portal in front of him and sighed helplessly, "Grandfather, this is too chaotic. After all, this Huaxia Empire is just a power from the Southern Domain. Even an empire with a long history cannot withstand the erosion of time. Besides, isn't Lin Qian just a successor?"

"Since it is a succession, merely transferring the Huaxia Empire's legitimacy to his hands, like titles and Cultivation Techniques, wouldn't amount to much real power, right?"

For the current situation, Yuan Wudi felt it was a farce, and the surrounding elders and others held a similar attitude.

"You should address him as Young Master, as this was a command personally issued by our ancient ancestor," Yuan Supreme spoke as he looked toward his grandson. "It's worth mentioning that our ancient ancestor instructed that if the Young Master dies because of our Yuan family, he will personally return to have the Yuan family buried with him."

At that instant, everyone present involuntarily swallowed their saliva.

What sort of person was Yuan Supreme, who certainly would not condescend to lie to them; the ancient ancestor would definitely have such instructions.

"What kind of background does this Lin Qian have that could make the ancient ancestor issue such an order?" Yuan Wudi looked at the portal ahead with a complex expression. At this moment, ripples appeared over the front of the portal.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Supreme's expression grew solemn. "A few days ago, when I saw the Young Master, he was only at the Fourth Level of the Awakening Realm, but when I saw him recently, he had reached the First Level of the Transcendence Realm. Wudi, do you realize what this means?"

"…Impossible!" Upon hearing his grandfather's words, Yuan Wudi involuntarily shouted.

The other elders had also heard Yuan Supreme's words, and their expressions looked as if they had been frightened.

According to Yuan Supreme's words, didn't this mean Lin Qian had broken through from the Fourth Level of the Awakening Realm to the First Level of the Transcendence Realm in just a few days? How could such a breakthrough be possible?

But what they did not know was that Lin Qian's breakthrough had not happened within just a few days!

Buzz!

The prolonged sound now also emerged, resonating over the entire mountain, thoroughly capturing everyone's attention.

Clearly, the Young Master mentioned by Yuan Supreme had arrived.

The white, twisted vortex atop the portal rippled like water. Compared to the massive portal, a figure clad in a white robe slowly walked out, emanating a faint aura of majesty, warranting a careful feeling.

There could be no mistake—it was indeed the First Level of the Transcendence Realm.

"So young, not even thirty, and already at the Transcendence Realm?" With these veteran Transcendence Realm members of the Yuan family, one glance at the vitality was enough to tell the age of the other party.

Yet, such a young Transcendence Realm, was obviously beyond their expectations.

Clang clang!

The sound of metal clashing and grinding echoed as a figure clad in armor followed Lin Qian from within the portal.

After emerging from the portal, the person tied their hair into a ponytail at the back of their head. Their graceful figure stretched under the sunlight, and they curiously looked toward the opposite side, "Hey? Your Majesty, are there people here to welcome us?"

"The situation report from His Majesty mentioned that this area belongs to someone else's territory, just passing through. It's normal to be curious and take a look," a crew-cut man said, patting the female warrior on the shoulder with a light laugh.

"After that brother takes a look, just let me know," the female warrior said, eyeing the group of elders across from her with disdain in her eyes, "But really, they are weak."

"They're all just a bunch of old bones, Your Majesty, should we just eliminate this weak power while we're at it?" a tower-like figure shouted excitedly after stepping out of the portal.

The figures continuously emerging from the portal were all curiously sizing up the people from the Yuan family, many with a fighting spirit filling their eyes.

"This Yuan family might join the Empire in the future. This family's ancestors have quite a connection with Me, and the current elder is very respectful. Don't act recklessly," Lin Qian commanded authoritatively, his voice completely resonating in front of the portal.

"As you command, Your Majesty!"

"His Majesty commands, no rash actions are allowed."

The people from the Yun family, standing opposite Lin Qian and others, watched the figures walking behind Lin Qian. Their expressions changed from surprise to fear and many were trembling.

"You're joking, right, haha..." Yuan Wudi muttered dryly while looking ahead.

These people, after following Lin Qian out of the portal, each had different appearances, both men and women.

Moreover, what was particularly concerning was that some beings, though very similar to the Human Clan, had major differences.

For instance, there were people with wolf teeth and ears, women with fox tails, and tiger-headed people covered in fluffy fur, chatting happily with the humans in armor beside them.

The number kept increasing until there were a total of eight hundred people following the young man in the white robe at the very front!

These eight hundred, whether they were the men and women in armor from the Human Clan or the peculiar half-human, half-beast creatures, all had a fierce aura; they were clearly all...

Transcendence Realm Ninth Level!

Moreover, with just one glance, the Yuan family deeply knew that they were no match for them.

Even though they were highly confident in their own strength, they definitely couldn't prevail over this group of people.

Perhaps only the members of the Yuan family, who constantly battled on the front lines, could possibly stand a chance against them.

Eight hundred Transcendence Realm Ninth Level, even the strongest among the Human Clan, the Yuan family, couldn't possibly contest such strength. Had the Huaxia Empire's strength grown this powerful?

Especially when those people mentioned whether to annihilate the Yuan family, their legs really went weak.

The group approaching them felt like a towering mountain, so oppressive that they couldn't catch their breath.

Yuan Supreme looked at Lin Qian walking up to him and was also at a loss for words.

"I am not one to be ungrateful or to coerce the Yuan family into submission with bloody methods," Lin Qian patted Yuan Supreme on the shoulder and passed by him, leaving.
