Rise of the Legendary Emperor

The woman wore a silver-colored silk dress, with a soft brow with a shallow arch and her smooth fair skin lightly reflected the sun rays. The girl had a sculpture-like figure with perfect curves and fat to muscle ratio.

A woman like this, and with such a demeanor, was rarely seen in this world as her beauty was on par with Amaryll but she was more beautiful than Lia due to her high level of cultivation.

The previously noisy foot of the mountain now lapsed into silence. Although the girl's face was covered with a veil, the faintly visible shape of her face appeared almost perfectly proportioned, causing one to wish that one could remove that veil, and see the beauty that would make a full moon in the night sky look dull.

"Such a beautiful girl"

The crowd gasped while staring at the girl without blinking. Even Knight had to admit that she looks gorgeous as among all the women he had seen, she would surely take up the top three spots in his mind.

However, though this girl's voice sounded melodious and lively, he did not see even the slightest bit of gentleness or softness in those clear sharp eyes. Instead, what they contained within was a deep coldness that made her look unapproachable.

This girl was evidently one that had hotness outside and coldness inside.

As far as he was concerned, this kind of girl was even more difficult to deal with than the typical beautiful girls.

"Who is this? Someone from what's that name again? House Godkind?" he tilted his head and looked at Lia as he asked.

"No"

Lia's eyebrows slightly knitted together as she said. Even she could not help but feel a sliver of jealousy in her heart at this girl's looks and demeanor and deep in her heart, she hated the way Knight was looking at her.

"She does not seem to have an ordinary background, as it was the House Godkind who invited her this time. Loretta Blackwood hmm, I've never heard of her before" Lia pondered for a moment and said as Knight rubbed his chin.

"If a big deal like him being so courteous towards her, he definitely comes from a powerful background" Knight muttered in his heart.

"Haha, so it turns out to be Miss Loretta, I'm honored to see you here" In the skies, Milan also gave a faint smile to Loretta who was standing on top of the red lotus. From what he had just said, he seemed to know about her identity.

"Heh heh, I did not expect that you would take interest in the events of the Obleth Empire." Richard looked towards the mysterious woman with an evident passion in his gaze. In front of such a beautiful girl, he could not conceal his emotion or he chose not to.

"It's nothing more than coincidence."

She mildly smiled as she said. Soon after, her eyes turned towards Sterling as she softly spoke with absolute certainty

"Since everyone is here, shall we break the seal?"

"Haha, let's do this" he gently nodded his head. The gaze he looked at her was a mix of respect and desire but unlike Richard, his face didn't betray his emotions.

"The seal was set up by a Soul Strength cultivator, although many years have passed since then, we cannot underestimate its strength, but, if all of us attack a single point, I believe that we can destroy the seal"

The three of them agreed with his words with a nod.

"Less talk, more action!" Richard was the quickest to move as the huge golden spear below him started to tremble violently. Dazzling golden rays swiftly gathered at the tip of the spear, before it finally transformed directly into an enormous golden spear made of golden light that was dozens of meters long, as it fiercely swept forth.

"hssssssss!"

While Richard made his move, Milan, who stood atop the Griffin also lightly smiled as he gently waved the deep blue fan in his hand. Immediately, a blue crescent-shaped wave swiftly formed before him, as Life energy surged within it.

"Go!"

Milan waved his fan as the blue wave rushed towards the barrier

"Buzzzzzh!"

Both hands behind his back, Sterling did not seem to move as a huge whirlpool appeared in the skies above his head. A terrifying amount of Life energy rushed out from the atmosphere and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a majestic and enormous fiery-red long sword. And the next second, it soared through the sky leaving a red trail like a meteor.

Compared to Sterling's and the other two's attacks, Loretta's attack seemed rather quiet and less extravagant. She waved her hand as a petal dropped off from the red lotus below her feet. Soon after, the petal was bundled up in a rich red light as it silently swept towards the mountain top covered by the seal in a distance.

When the four made their move, the Life energy in the area violently rippled, while the faces of several people in the camp were filled with admiration and respect. Only those that had a perfect understanding of Life energy and a strong cultivation base would be able to utilize the Life energy to such an extent as this.

"How powerful"

Lia's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at the attacks. The power to gather Life energy and give it any shape with a gesture was truly mind-blowing.

In the face of these kinds of fancy spells, even Knight was fascinated by it. Although the current him was already able to defeat an ordinary mid Heavenly level cultivator, if these four of them combined their power, they have the chance to defeat him and he knew it. 

While Lia's eyes were flickering, the majestic attacks in the sky had already heavily slammed into the mountain top under numerous watchful gazes.

As these attacks reached closer to the barrier, the air around it seemed to distort. And then, a screen of light slowly appeared, numerous shapes and patterns were drawn on the light screen, as if they were a bunch of bizarre symbols.

"Boom boom!"

The first to reach was Richard's golden spear of light, which radiated a powerful aura. And in a second, the powerful spear of light heavily slammed into a point on the light screen, causing circles to ripple outwards.

"Boom!"

The wave formed by vigorous Life energy quickly followed. Everything poured down onto that same point and immediately, the ripples on the light screen spread quicker, while the glow of the light screen started to become dimmer.

"Boom!"

In the next moment, the fiery red longsword of Sterling ferociously stabbed the light screen, and then, at a slow pace, it buried itself into the light screen.

"Explode!"

In the skies, Sterling's mouth slightly moved as a soft voice sounded out.

"Boom!"

The moment the words escaped his mouth, the tip of the long sword that had already pierced into the light screen violently vibrated as it started to release more Life energy. The sword then moved forward, completely wiping away the symbols on the light screen as the glow of the light screen also became dimmer and dimmer. 

However, the barrier still firmly endured the attacks which surprised everyone at the campsite including Knight. They did not expect that after being attacked by these powerful attacks of three Peak Grandmasters, the seal would still remain strong.

"Swish!"

While everyone was in awe looking at the strength of the seal, the decisive, as well as seemingly weakest red glow drifted over towards the seal. Soon after, the petal finally landed on the light screen.

And the moment the lotus flower petal touched the light screen, it instantly transformed into a bright red light and spread throughout the screen as it started to enshroud the entire light screen.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

The red light trembled as a series of faint but clear breaking sounds echoed out. The crowd watched while many cracks ran across the light screen.

"The seal is about to be broken!"

Upon seeing this scene, many people were cheered and delighted while some of them looked at the mysterious girl with eyes full of amazement, clearly unable to believe that she actually possessed this kind of method, and unsure of which holy land she came from. But only Knight knew that even though she was radiating a Peak Grandmaster magical fluctuations, her realm cultivation was Low heavenly Heavenly level.

"Amazing, Miss Loretta's Eternal Red lotus is indeed powerful as they say" Sterling, Richard, and Milan were similarly rather surprised, as they smiled and commented. Their gazes all looked at the red lotus below she was standing on.

"I'm amazed by your attacks too" She smiled and said.

"CLING!"

Just as she said, the light screen that was already covered all over in cracks, finally exploded with a loud cling sound. And the next moment, an extremely powerful storm unfurled in the skies like a hurricane.

"Go!"

The hurricane did not manage to blow away the four figures in the sky. They watched and at the moment the light screen shattered, the four of them immediately soared towards the mountain top, and in the blink of an eye, they were almost at the mountain top.

"The seal is broken, come on!"

Upon seeing the four rush toward the old tomb, the crowd below wasted no time as they moved towards the old tomb like a devastating flood coming out of flood gates. 

"Hop in!"

As Knight saw this scene, he jumped onto the black sword and motioned Lia to step on the sword as she quickly leaped onto the sword and wrapped her hands around his chest.

"Let's do this!"

Since he had to get the life shard in order to bring Don back from the dead, he could not possibly return empty-handed. He had no time or mood to question the golden robed man who informed him about the life shard as his full focus was now on getting the Life shard and possibly looting all the treasures in the tomb.

"Ssshhhhhh!"

The black sword let out a piercing sound as he soared towards the mountain top as fast as he could while Lia buried her head onto his back in fear of falling and held him tightly.

At this moment, the battle for the old tomb had finally begun.
