Chapter 900: Go All In

The beautiful lady was shocked beyond words—Dao Emperor Zhaowu!

Most people had heard of the Nine Clans of Zhaowu before, but very few were aware of Dao Emperor Zhaowu. However, the truth was that Dao Emperor Zhaowu existed even before the Nine Clans of Zhaowu were founded.

He was an unparalleled prodigy who rose against the heavens with his own power, breaking through the Dao and rising up above it. He then created an unprecedentedly glorious civilization—the Zhaowu Civilization.

The prodigy was none other than Dao Emperor Zhaowu.

Dao Emperor Zhaowu was also known as "Invincible Across the Eight Desolate Lands, the Lord of Zhaowu."

Needless to say, he was a legendary figure, especially in his own civilization.

However, for reasons unknown, the Zhaowu Civilization suddenly declined, and Dao Emperor Zhaowu disappeared without a trace. There were rumors that the Zhaowu Civilization fought the Tianxing Civilization, which led to Dao Emperor Zhaowu's death.

Of course, no one knew the true reason behind his disappearance.

Eventually, the Zhaowu Civilization evolved to become the Nine Clans of Zhaowu. Many of these clans were able to rise to power thanks to the legacies that he had left behind.

The beautiful lady behind the counter had never expected to encounter such a legendary figure, and she was much more surprised to find that he had somehow become the Fourth Hall Master of the Evil Dao Alliance.

And how come he was so young? What was going on? The beautiful lady was confused.

The black-robed man turned to look at the beautiful lady and smiled. "Tianwu Clan?"

The beautiful lady dared not hesitate. She stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Tianwu Xin, the Ninth Elder of the Tianwu Clan, greets Dao Emperor Zhaowu."

The black-robed man took a sip from his wine cup. "How is Tianwu Shi doing nowadays?"

Tianwu Shi?! Tianwu Xin was shocked.

Tianwu Shi was an ancestor of the Tianwu Clan. "Senior, you know my ancestor?"

"I noticed his extraordinary talent many years ago, so I offered him some guidance," the black-robed man replied calmly.

"Our ancestor died in action against the Tianxing Civilization."

"Tianxing Civilization..." the man in the black robe muttered with a complicated light in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and downed his wine.

Seeing that, Tianwu Xin hurriedly moved next to him and refilled his cup personally.

The black-robed man smiled and said, "I heard has been here. Is it true?"

Tianwu Xin nodded. "Yes."

"And?"

"He is a young talent with impressive strength. Compared to you, however, he's not worth mentioning."

"You might be underestimating him."

Tianwu Xin remained silent.

"Years ago, the Supreme Master of Zhaowu once divined my fate and said that after my ninth reincarnation, I would face a tribulation," Dao Emperor Zhaowu explained, "If I could overcome it, I'd advance further and become the strongest expert in history.

"We have never been afraid of anything. When do we start? Let us take the lead. I'm also curious about the True God's might."

"No rush. Let's deal with this so-called Ye Guan first."

The swordsman nodded and stepped aside.

Dao Emperor Zhaowu turned to the window, and a faint smile tugged at his lips. "My tribulation? I must admit, I'm looking forward to it..."

***

Tianwu Xin returned to the Tianwu World and immediately requested an audience with the Clan leader of the Tianwu Clan, Tianwu Ling. Upon conveying Dao Emperor Zhaowu's intentions, Tianwu Ling summoned all the top experts of the clan.

More than twenty core elders of the Tianwu Clan were present in the Tianwu Hall.

Tianwu Ling looked at everyone and asked, "What are your thoughts on this matter?"

An elder in a black robe on the left side stepped forward and solemnly said, "Clan Leader, this indeed seems like a big opportunity for our Tianwu Clan, but I have some concerns regarding Ye Guan."

Tianwu Ling nodded slightly. "Go on."

"Ye Guan managed to make the Evil Dao Alliance go to such lengths, so I believe he's not an ordinary individual," the black-robed elder said, "We have no information about the forces and the power behind him. If we rashly stand against him, the risks are—"

Tianwu Xin stood up and said, "Third Elder, your concerns are completely unnecessary. I have investigated thoroughly, and the claim that Ye Guan's father is a figure above the Path Creation Realm is merely a rumor spread deliberately by the Jimo Clan to confuse and mislead others."

The black-robed elder said in a deep voice, "The Tianxing Flame..."

"As for the Tianxing Flame," Tianwu Xin said, smiling. "I investigated it as well. It turns out that the Tianxing Flame is fake—they made it to deceive their enemies. If it were real, why wouldn't he just throw it directly at the Evil Dao Alliance and be done with it?"

The black-robed elder stared deeply at Tianwu Xin and said, "Ninth Elder, according to what I know, the Evil Dao Alliance's Tenth Hall once attempted to kill Ye Guan, but he ended up getting obliterated along with the members of the Tenth Hall. How do you explain that?"

"Easy," Tianwu Xin said, "I didn't say that Ye Guan has no backers, nor did I say that his backers are weak. The people behind him are definitely powerful, but who do you think is stronger, Third Elder? The people behind Ye Guan or the Dao Emperor?"

The black-robed elder fell silent. The Dao Emperor! He was nothing short of a legendary figure, and he was unrivaled during his era.

"And there's another point," Tianwu Xin said, "The Dao Emperor is strong, but he's only the Fourth Hall Master. Just imagine how terrifying the first three Hall Masters must be."

The expressions of everyone in the hall grew heavy. Indeed, they had overlooked that fact.

Their knowledge about the Evil Dao Alliance was limited, so they were unaware of its true power. All they knew was that it was a mysterious organization. The Dao Emperor's appearance as the Fourth Hall Master, however, made them realize that the Evil Dao Alliance was far more terrifying than they could ever imagine!

The Dao Emperor—once considered invincible in this universe region—was only the Fourth Hall Master of the Evil Dao Alliance. It was simply absurd!

Tianwu Xin swept her gaze across everyone and said, "Everyone, if we want to restore the Tianwu Clan's glory, we need the help of a powerful backer. The Dao Emperor and the Evil Dao Alliance have presented our Tianwu Clan with an opportunity that we must seize.

"If we miss this chance, our Tianwu Clan will have no hope of ever returning to its former glory in this lifetime..."

Tianwu Xin turned to Tianwu Ling, who remained silent for a while before saying, "Gather all of our clan's Path Creation Realm cultivators. We'll set out for the Ascension World in an hour."

All the Path Creation Realm cultivators! Everyone was shocked.

Tianwu Ling's eyes narrowed slightly. "We're gambling, so it's either we go big or go home. And if we want to go big, then we have to go all-in!"

All in! They had to go all in!
