Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

Its shape resembles both a lion and a dragon, exuding boundless majesty. It is none other than the demon ancestor who once arrogantly declared that he would take advantage of Jiang Hao's weakness to launch an attack on the Origin Realm.

Its name is Dragon Lion Demon Ancestor, also known as Dragon Lion Heavenly Venerable.

"Hey... Burial God Abyss, Reincarnation Lake... They're all so arrogant and haughty, but now they're like tigers with their teeth pulled out, not even putting up a fight. It's utterly shameful."

The Dragon-Lion Demon Ancestor muttered to himself, his tone complex, containing both mockery and a hint of lingering fear.

"This Chaos Body brat is truly a monster. Fortunately... I was only talking back then and didn't actually make a move. Surely he wouldn't punish me just for thinking or talking about it?"

Despite this, it felt a vague unease in its heart.

Jiang Hao's style of doing things is too tough. What if he just wants to establish his authority and make an example of someone?

Although the demon realm is powerful, it is only about the same as the celestial realm.

"Pass down the order to restrain the young men in the near future and not to cause trouble near the human star field. Also, prepare a generous gift... no, prepare two gifts. Send one to the Dao Seeking Sect of the Ziwei Ancient Star in the Origin Realm to congratulate the Chaos Emperor on his attainment of Dao, and send one to the Heavenly Realm. But both gifts will be sent after the results are in."

It ultimately decided to keep a low profile, accept the financial loss to avoid further trouble, and observe the situation before making any further moves.

The Dragon Realm, the Yuan Realm, and other realms reacted similarly to the Demon Realm. While being shocked by Jiang Hao's combat power, they were extremely grateful that their own families had not been directly drawn into the feud.

The high-ranking officials of all realms swiftly issued orders strictly prohibiting their clansmen from clashing with the humans of the Origin Realm. They also prepared congratulatory gifts, intending to send them to Ziwei under the guise of congratulating the new emperor, in order to ease tensions and express goodwill.

Just as all the heavens and myriad realms, especially the celestial realm and the insect realm, were filled with unease and making their own preparations.

The figure that terrified them paused briefly in the starry sky after leaving the Big Dipper before turning its gaze toward the myriad realms of the heavens.

His next target is without any suspense.

The golden road rises again, its direction pointing directly to the Heavenly Realm, which floats above all the heavens and is said to be the closest to the Immortal Realm, but is now in a state of panic!

"He's here! He's really here!"

"The Chaos Emperor has left the Big Dipper and headed towards the Celestial Realm!"

"My God, he's going to settle scores with Heaven!"

The heavens erupted in commotion, and all eyes instantly focused on the direction of the celestial realm.

Some were fearful, some were excited, and some were gloating.

Because the celestial realm is very arrogant and domineering.

Having offended many people, they naturally enjoy watching the celestial realm make fools of themselves.

Some people feel a sense of shared sorrow over the death of their rabbit.

In the celestial realm, across the thirty-three heavens, the alarm bell tolls continuously, echoing throughout every inch of space!

The endless laws of Heaven were activated, and the illusory images of the Thirty-Six Heavens appeared layer by layer, emanating a vast and boundless defensive aura.

The Zhou Tian Realm Cauldron, hidden deep within the Heavenly Dao Palace, also emitted a low rumble.

Patterns of celestial bodies, mountains and rivers, and all living things appeared on the body of the cauldron, with countless strands of primordial yellow energy hanging down, firmly protecting the most core heavens.

The five Heavenly Venerables stood side by side outside the first heaven, with countless elite Heavenly Race warriors behind them. Although they knew their role in the Emperor War was limited, they could not lose in terms of momentum.

Jun Tianzun took a deep breath and proclaimed loudly, his voice amplified by the celestial source, resounding throughout the starry sea:

"The Celestial Realm respectfully welcomes the Great Emperor of Chaos! We cordially request that Your Majesty enter for a discussion!"

At the end of the Golden Avenue, Jiang Hao's figure appeared.

He was not surprised that the Heavenly Realm possessed such formidable power; if the Heavenly Realm did not have such power, it would not dare to be so arrogant.

He glanced at the Heavenly Realm, which seemed on high alert, his expression calm. He then stepped across the numerous barriers of the Heavenly Domain and appeared directly not far from the Five Heavenly Venerables.

The Chaos Heavenly Blade did not activate; it simply hovered quietly beside him. However, the invisible pressure it exerted caused a stir in the battle formation behind the Five Heavenly Venerables.

"No need for formalities."

Jiang Hao got straight to the point.

"Haotian Venerable obstructed my path to enlightenment and attacked me, this is a mortal enmity. Although he is dead, he was born in the Heavenly Realm and used the Heavenly Realm's laws and fortune to commit the crime, the Heavenly Realm cannot escape its responsibility. Today I have come to ask only one question, Heavenly Realm, how do you intend to settle this karmic debt?"

Yan Tianzun, with his fiery temper, couldn't help but step forward upon hearing this, and angrily said:

"Chaos Emperor, Haotian Venerable's actions were indeed wrong, but he has already perished, and the cause and effect have been settled. Don't push your luck too far. Do you really think my Heavenly Realm is a soft persimmon for you to manipulate?"

Jiang Hao's gaze swept over him, and Yan Tianzun immediately felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. The flame laws around him almost went out, and he took a half step back in horror.

Jiang Hao's tone was cold: "Say it again, and I'll kill you!"

Yan Tianzun's expression kept changing; he was very angry, but in the end, he didn't dare to say anything.

Jun Tianzun quickly pulled Yan Tianzun back and said to Jiang Hao in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, regarding the matter of the Jade Emperor, our Heavenly Realm is indeed responsible for oversight. Therefore, our Heavenly Realm is willing to offer generous gifts as compensation. Immortal gold and divine materials, ancient scriptures and secret methods, and even longevity elixirs—as long as our Heavenly Realm possesses them, Your Majesty may ask for them. We only hope that Your Majesty will show leniency and not implicate the innocent beings of the Heavenly Realm."

As he spoke, he presented a pre-prepared gift list, the total value of which even exceeded the compensation for a single restricted area of ​​the Big Dipper, demonstrating the abundance of the Celestial Realm's resources and its determination to compromise.

Jiang Hao took the gift list, glanced at it, and slowly shook his head.

"not enough."

"The actions of the Heavenly Venerable Haotian nearly caused my path to be interrupted. Such cause and effect cannot be easily offset by external things."

Well, although Haotianzun was not actually a big threat to him at the time, negotiations naturally require the art of language.

"I want the Heavenly Realm to seal its gates for 100,000 years, severing all ties with the other realms and forbidding any interference in external affairs."

"I want the Heavenly Realm, and I demand the Zhou Tian Realm Cauldron, its refining method, and one-third of the Heavenly Realm's Heavenly Dao Origin Crystal."

"In addition, all those who participated in supporting or tacitly approved of Haotianzun's actions on that day will be punished."

These conditions were countless times more demanding than the Five Heavenly Venerables had anticipated.

By sealing themselves off for 100,000 years, they essentially withdrew the celestial realm from the competition of this golden age and missed the possible path to immortality!

The Zhou Tian Realm Cauldron and its refining method are the highest core secrets of the Heavenly Realm. The Heavenly Dao Origin Crystal is the foundation of the Heavenly Realm. If one-third of it is handed over, the Heavenly Realm's vital energy will be severely damaged!

"impossible!"

This time, even the most composed Heavenly Venerable Cangtian and Heavenly Venerable Xuantian changed their expressions and voiced their opposition.

If this condition is met, the heavens will fall into ruin and plummet from their former glory as the most powerful of all the heavens.

"Jiang Hao, you are trying to sever the lineage of my Heavenly Realm." The voice of the Netherworld Venerable was icy cold.

"It seems there's no point in talking."

Jiang Hao's tone turned cold, and the Chaos Heavenly Blade emitted a clear and melodious sound before automatically falling into his hand.

Just as the Five Heavenly Venerables gritted their teeth and prepared to fight to the death, deep within the Heavenly Dao Palace, that ancient and vast aura was fully awakened and descended.

A figure composed of pure Heavenly Dao runes, whose specific form was indiscernible, yet seemed to carry the will of the entire Heavenly Realm, appeared between Jiang Hao and the Five Heavenly Venerables.

It was none other than the Celestial Ancestor.

"Chaos Emperor, your conditions are too much."

The old man's voice was calm, but his tone was resolute.

"The Celestial Realm can offer compensation, apologize, and promise never to be an enemy of you and humanity again, but what you want involves the very foundation of the Celestial Realm's survival, which is far too much to ask of anyone."

Jiang Hao looked at the figure, a hint of interest finally appearing in his eyes: "So you are the last remaining strength of the Heavenly Realm?"

He had heard of this celestial ancestor for a long time, but had never met him.

I know this is a formidable person, someone who has lived for a very long time, an old monster, very powerful, and a formidable opponent.

interesting.
