This is Hong State.

One of the extremely ancient states in the Xuanhuang Nine States.

On Hong State, many Longevity Families and hidden ancient sects exist.

The Liu Family by the Red Sun River is one of them.

A Longevity Family with an ancient lineage, even if it has never produced a Great Emperor, it doesn’t hinder them from possessing Great Emperor Immortal Skills and Great Emperor Immortal Soldiers.

These are the foundations accumulated over billions of years.

Essentially, most Longevity Families have produced a Great Emperor.

Including the Liu Family.

The Liu Family is not the oldest Longevity Family; it rose in the mid-Emperor Era.

Originally, the Liu Family was just an ordinary cultivation family in the Cultivation World, at most a third-rate power in the Xuanhuang Great World.

But in the Emperor Era, a "Qilin child" emerged from the Liu Family. This person was named Liu Quan, and at birth, a Qilin carrying a Golden Light Treasure Book came riding on clouds, presenting it to Liu Quan.

Afterwards, Liu Quan caught the eye of a Quasi-Emperor figure of that time, who took him as a disciple. Eventually, he undoubtedly became a Great Emperor of that era.

He was titled the Great Emperor of Red Sun.

Though in the Emperor Era, a single Great Emperor might not have been invincible, they definitely represented the pinnacle.

Liu Quan also participated in an Emperor Battle as a Great Emperor of the Human Clan.

Although the result of that battle wasn’t impressive, the legacy left by a Great Emperor was enough to establish the Liu Family as a Longevity Family, with an everlasting heritage.

To this day, the Liu Family remains a renowned Longevity Family in the Xuanhuang Great World. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

In these ninety thousand years, the Liu Family has sometimes withdrawn, but now with the Emperor Road about to begin, they have reentered the Xuanhuang Great World’s spotlight.

With their return, the young Liu Yuanchen from the family has even reached the fourteenth place on the Mystic Yellow List, with the hope of ascending to Great Emperor.

Like the Hua Tian Prefecture, they also wish to seize the Immortal Treasure to bestow Liu Yuanchen with the Immortal Body, hoping for the emergence of another Great Emperor in the Liu Family.

By doing so, the Liu Family would undoubtedly be renowned through the ages.

But the result was not as the Liu Family desired.

The family elder Liu Changqing died on Zhongxuan Mountain.

And this completely enraged the Liu Family by the Red Sun River.

Even though the Hua Tian Prefecture was annihilated, deterring many forces, the Red Sun River’s Liu Family clearly did not plan to let it go.

Other forces chose to temporarily retreat, merely because of the presence of Heavenly Dao Suppression. Even if they fought with all their might, they might not achieve revenge and could suffer greater losses.

An ancient force with a longstanding heritage often has intricate and intertwined factions, requiring more considerations.

Interests are the greatest measure of all.

Knowing there are no benefits in advance, these ancient forces clearly are not prepared to act.

But this time, the Liu Family intends to take the reckless action like Hua Tian Prefecture...

At this moment.

Within the Liu Family by the Red Sun River, several ancient family elders emerged from seclusion.

Compared to sect forces, Longevity Families seem to be more united. They did not discuss any interest logic but directly invoked the Great Emperor Immortal Soldiers of the Liu Family.

No one knows what the Great Emperor Immortal Soldiers are, as they rose from the Red Sun River.

This Red Sun River was just an unknown small river on the land of Hong State. But during the Emperor Era, Liu Quan of the Liu Family ascended to the Emperor Realm, taking Red Sun as his emperor title, and eventually, this small river became famous across All Heavens.

The Red Sun River thus received the favor of the Heavenly Dao. Although still named as a river, it bore the vastness of a sea.

Although normally the waters of the Red Sun River were rapid, they weren’t so turbulent as to cause waves.

On that day, after the Liu Family chose to invoke the Great Emperor Immortal Soldiers, the entire Red Sun River overflowed, as if a heavenly flood had erupted!

Underneath the Red Sun River, waves of Mysterious Light shot to the sky, erupting with limitless terrifying powers!

Truly earth-shattering, ghost and god wailing!

In a moment, all the strong ones in Hong State felt that terrible aura.

"Rise!"

A cold and harsh shout came from within the Liu Family.

Rumble————

The Red Sun River boiled.

And on that river surface, faintly, an Emperor’s Shadow seemed to be forming.

As the Emperor’s Shadow gradually formed, a terrifying Emperor’s Might spread overwhelmingly.

This Emperor’s Might had no impact on mortals or cultivators with lower cultivation.

But the stronger the cultivator, the more terrifying the aura felt.

"Has the Liu Family gone mad?"

"God damn it, why did they invoke the Great Emperor Immortal Soldiers!"

Many sects and sacred lands beside the Red Sun River activated their Sect Protection Array to ease the suppression of the Emperor’s Might.

Even more ancient heritages had their own means and were not panicked. Instead, they used this opportunity to deduce the strength unleashed by the Liu Family member handling this Great Emperor Immortal Soldiers.

It is widely known that Great Emperor Immortal Soldiers were weapons used by Great Emperors, containing their might.

Using Great Emperor Immortal Soldiers is not easy.

If one is weak, they might be backlashed the moment they try to wield them.

Generally, it is best to have reached the Immortal Realm to initially use Great Emperor Immortal Soldiers.

But it’s not absolute. Like Ye Xuan, who could use Great Emperor Immortal Soldiers even before reaching the Saint Realm.

This is because Ye Xuan possesses the Emperor Soul.

The stronger one is, the more terrifying the power of the Great Emperor Immortal Soldiers they can unleash.

But to fully unleash the power of a Great Emperor Immortal Soldier, a Great Emperor is needed.

Those in the Quasi-Emperor Realm can unleash nine-tenths of its power, those in the Great Saint Realm can unleash eight-tenths.

Below Great Saints, at most six or seven-tenths.

Under Heavenly Dao Suppression, seven-tenths is the peak.

Often, it’s four or five-tenths.

But right now, the power unleashed by the Liu Family by Red Sun River is definitely more than four or five-tenths, even with a hint of approaching the peak of seven-tenths!

All of this is because Liu Changqing held an exceptional position in the Liu Family, not just any ordinary family elder.

He was a direct descendant of the lineage of Great Emperor Liu Quan!

Because of this, the Liu Family by the Red Sun River was so enraged, they chose to openly declare war against the Emperor Immortal Sect!

Rumble————

As numerous powerful elder members of the Liu Family acted in unison, the Great Emperor Immortal Soldiers beneath the Red Sun River unleashed endless power.

On the Red Sun River, an Emperor’s Shadow vividly came to life.

Wrapped in a red Emperor’s Robe, behind him was an immense red sun emitting limitless world-destroying divine brilliance.

Yet on his face, there was a shroud of chaos as if obscured by the Heavenly Mechanism, unable to reveal his visage.

This was not because of Heavenly Mechanism’s obscuration, but because the Liu Family couldn’t fully unleash the power of the Great Emperor Immortal Soldiers to manifest the Emperor’s Shadow of the Great Emperor of Red Sun.

However!

The saber at the waist of Great Emperor of Red Sun was like the world’s most dazzling and brilliant existence. Though unsheathed, it was already a spectacle for all the strong in the Xuanhuang Nine States!

This was indeed the Great Emperor Immortal Soldiers summoned by the Liu Family.

The saber wielded by Great Emperor of Red Sun during the Emperor Battle — the Red Sun Emperor Saber!
