433: Reaching the peak of Immortal Emperor

"Quickly, all of you follow This City Lord and go receive the person who has Ascended."

Inside the City Lord's Mansion of Xuantian Reception City, the City Lord of Xuantian Reception City, wearing a red robe and looking middle-aged, greeted a dozen True Immortal Rank guards while looking at the pillar of light shooting into the sky.

He then quickly flew out of Xuantian Reception City and headed towards the Ascension Platform.

Although he didn't know whether the one who Ascended was someone sent down by the Heavenly Emperor or a native of the Xuantian World, he needed to personally receive them regardless of who it was.

After all, if it was a Heavenly Court Personal Guard sent by the Heavenly Emperor, he would have to treat them well and try to curry favor.

If it was a native of the Xuantian World Ascending, he needed to receive them even more personally, because the Heavenly Emperor had said that as long as someone Ascended from the Xuantian World, he should immediately send them to the Heavenly Court. By sending the person up, he could earn merit and receive a reward from the Heavenly Emperor.

Following the City Lord of Xuantian Reception City, who brought a dozen True Immortal Rank guards, they landed near the Ascension Platform.

The light beam shooting up from the Ascension Platform began to recede, and then a slightly too-handsome youth slowly appeared on the Ascension Platform.

"Heh heh, I finally arrived. This Sect Master was almost spun dizzy." Jiang Chen stood on the Ascension Platform, glanced around at the environment, and muttered with a smile.

When he reached the end of the immortal path, he was sucked into an unknown vortex by a powerful gravitational force, spinning dizzily for a while before finally reaching this Ascension Platform.

"Hey! Kid, are you the Cultivator who Ascended from the Lower Realm? Hurry up and come over, kneel and pay respects to our Lord City Lord?"

Seeing Jiang Chen smiling widely and completely ignoring them and the City Lord of Xuantian Reception City.

A True Immortal Rank guard standing beside the City Lord of Xuantian Reception City shouted angrily at Jiang Chen.

Seeing his guard angrily scold Jiang Chen, the City Lord of Xuantian Reception City did not stop him. Although the Heavenly Emperor had told him to send the native who Ascended from the Xuantian Mortal Realm to the Heavenly Court.

But since Jiang Chen, this native, dared to ignore him, he should be given a display of power to let Jiang Chen recognize his current situation, lest he still think he is a Peak powerhouse of the Mortal Realm.

"Hiss, holy cow, someone really Ascended! It seems the immortal path to the Lower Realm is truly open!"

"Yeah, now that the immortal path to the Lower Realm is open, this Reception City will become lively again, and many Great Forces will come to snatch up the Ascended Cultivators."

"Cackle, this Ascended native from the Lower Realm seems a bit dim-witted. He actually dares to laugh there. He truly lacks common sense."

"Exactly, exactly! He didn't even pay respects when seeing the City Lord. This guy is probably not quite sober yet, still thinking he's the limit of the Mortal Realm, pretending to be an Unrivaled Master. He doesn't realize he's just an ant now."

Seeing that a person really appeared on the Ascension Platform, the Cultivators in Xuantian Reception City first gasped in surprise, then watched Jiang Chen on the Ascension Platform as if watching a joke.

Although according to past records, all Ascended Cultivators would be fought over by Great Forces and receive good treatment.

But someone like Jiang Chen, who hasn't changed his mindset, would usually be severely taught a lesson, so he understands how weak he is now.

"Oh, you want This Sect Master to kneel?"

Looking at the fierce-looking guards, Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, glanced at the dozen people, and then said with a smile, "Heh heh, please wait a moment. This Sect Master will talk to you after I Level Up."

"System, help me use the Immortal Emperor Peak Direct Promotion Card!" Jiang Chen commanded the System.

Although he really wanted to mess around with the dozen people in front of him right now, his strength wasn't enough, so he could only play after Leveling Up.

[Ding, Immortal Emperor Peak Direct Promotion Card used successfully. Currently raising Host's Cultivation Base.]

As the System's voice fell, an extremely terrifying power began to pour into Jiang Chen's body.

"How dare you! You native from the Lower Realm, you actually dare to ignore us! You are simply courting death!"

Seeing that Jiang Chen made no movement after hearing the words, still maintaining a posture of ignoring them.

The guard who had just spoken was utterly furious. He burst forth with the Aura of a True Immortal in the Middle Stage and charged towards Jiang Chen, wanting to beat Jiang Chen down and then thoroughly humiliate him.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Before the guard could rush in front of Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen's Cultivation Base rose steadily, Breakthrough at an unbelievable speed.

"Spirit Immortal Realm!"

"Earth Immortal Realm!"

"Profound Immortal Realm...!"

"Immortal King Realm... Immortal Emperor Realm... Immortal Emperor Realm!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As Jiang Chen broke through to the Immortal Emperor Realm, an extremely terrifying Aura erupted from his body, shooting straight above Xuantian Reception City, instantly spreading across the entire Hongmeng Immortal Realm, waking up a large number of old monsters who were in secluded cultivation.

"Hiss, an Immortal Emperor! An Immortal Emperor has appeared! Besides the Heavenly Emperor, a second Immortal Emperor has actually emerged in our Hongmeng Immortal Realm!!"

"Heavens! Another Immortal Emperor has appeared! Who exactly is this person?"

"What a terrifying Aura! This person's Aura is even above the Heavenly Emperor's!"

"Too terrifying! Just the Aura alone is so powerful! Which Immortal Realm Overlord is this person?"

One Immortal King and Immortal Emperor Giant after another looked in the direction of Xuantian Reception City with expressions of horror.

Although they couldn't see who released the Aura, they could still distinguish that this Aura was not released by the Heavenly Emperor.

You should know that Immortal Rank powerhouses of the Immortal Emperor level don't easily make a move. For an Immortal Emperor to unleash their Aura, there must be a great battle brewing.

"Who is this person? Why is his Aura so terrifying and unfamiliar?"

Inside a luxurious palace in the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Emperor, wearing a golden robe and a golden crown, slowly materialized on the throne, also looking in the direction of Xuantian Reception City with a face full of shock.

He had already broken through to Immortal Emperor millions of years ago and had long Cultivated to the Ninth Layer. His Combat Power was top-tier throughout the entire Immortal Universe.

Now, the Aura suddenly shooting up from the direction of Xuantian Reception City actually startled him somewhat. It was truly unbelievable.

He had met all the Immortal Emperors in the Immortal Universe, and none of them emitted this kind of Qi. He couldn't figure out which Immortal Emperor was getting angry in the Hongmeng Immortal Realm.

"No matter who this person is, since they have come to my Hongmeng Immortal Realm, This Emperor naturally needs to make their acquaintance."

The Heavenly Emperor calmed his emotions, muttered a sentence, and then disappeared from the palace.

Beside the Ascension Platform of Xuantian Reception City.

Jiang Chen's Cultivation Base reached the Peak of the Ninth Layer of Immortal Emperor and stopped increasing. He also retracted his Aura and smiled as he looked at the guard who had just told him to kneel.

At this moment, the City Lord of Xuantian Reception City, the dozen guards, and the Cultivators inside Xuantian Reception City were all stunned, kneeling on the ground and trembling.

Although Jiang Chen's Aura did not target any one of them just now, that Aura was too terrifying, and they couldn't help but want to worship Jiang Chen.

And now, what puzzled them the most was why Jiang Chen, who clearly Ascended from the Lower Realm, was so incredibly powerful.

One must know that the Mortal Realm simply cannot accommodate powerhouses above the True Immortal Rank. If Jiang Chen could come from the Ascension Platform, he must have been a True Immortal powerhouse previously.

But for Jiang Chen to Breakthrough to a level they couldn't fathom in just a few breaths was truly unacceptable to them.

One must know that the highest Cultivation Base among them had already reached the Profound Immortal Rank. This meant that in just a few breaths, Jiang Chen had broken through from a True Immortal to above the Profound Immortal Rank, which was simply appalling.
