The Peerless Emperor

The battle at the Saint Institute is about to begin in fifteen minutes.

At this moment, the glow of forced teleportation appeared, and the figure of Lin Qian suddenly appeared on the Huaxia Alliance's arena.

At present, Lin Qian was presented in a cross-legged seated posture, with an unsteady aura fluctuating between the Qi Refining Realm and World Realm.

Meanwhile, there was no one else around him.

According to the rules of the Saint Institute battle, a day before it begins, the Huaxia Alliance must report the participants who will engage in the battle.

Lin Qian reported himself and eight followers, so the teleportation array of the Saint Institute only transported him alone into the battleground.

As for the followers who will join the battle, Lin Qian had to summon them after entering the Saint Institute battleground.

"Strange, this Huaxia Alliance only has one person. Could it be that he alone will fight and then summon eight followers?"

"That's probably the case, but his state seems a bit odd."

"He's breaking through, he's unexpectedly breaking through from the Qi Refining Realm to the World Realm at this moment!"

"What!"

Gradually, everyone also discovered Lin Qian's peculiar situation, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

While on Huaxia Alliance's side, everyone was extremely anxious; they couldn't believe that Lin Qian's realm hadn't completely broken through yet.

Moreover, he was teleported into the Saint Institute battleground during the breakthrough process.

The Overlord Hall noticed the unexpected situation, and after understanding the reason, everyone laughed loudly, feeling that the Huaxia Alliance folks were too ridiculous.

The battle in the Saint Institute fell for their poor provocation without altering the rules.

They even sent someone from the Qi Refining Realm, trying to defeat them with eight followers?

It's laughably ridiculous.

Also, this person even entered the Saint Institute battleground while he was breaking through his realm.

"If that's the case, won't this battle be easily won?" chuckled Liu Jianqing, the prince of the Huaqiong Empire from the Overlord Hall.

The Hall Master of Overlord Hall, Sheng Li, also nodded amusingly: "Truly it's divine assistance. Perhaps it's because of my name?"

Sheng Li's words provoked laughter from the other eight as they watched Lin Qian on the opposite arena like a lamb ready for slaughter.

At this moment, Lin Qian ignored the surrounding commotion and was solely focused on breaking through his realm.

Because until the breakthrough within his dantian completed, he couldn't summon the peak battle power from the Xuanhuan Star that had already used the puppet body.

Only when the realm breakthrough is complete can he use it.

"Almost there!" Lin Qian silently chanted to himself, but suddenly a voice came from above.

"The Overlord Hall initiates a Saint Institute battle against the Huaxia Alliance; it begins in ten breaths."

"Ten, nine..."

Accompanied by the voice from above, everyone's heart in the Huaxia Alliance clenched.

In contrast, other outer institute students kept shaking their heads and sighing.

"Seems like the gamble failed; we initially thought this Huaxia Alliance could last an hour."

"Indeed, this time's Saint Institute battle may become the quickest end in history."

"It's truly amusing, about to start the Saint Institute battle, yet still breaking through realms."

"Even if the realm hasn't been broken through, starting a fight with eight followers is bound to fail!"

Discussions from other outer institute students continuously echoed around the Saint Institute battleground.

"One, the Saint Institute battle begins!"

Finally, with the trumpet of the battle's commencement, loud quarrels broke out within the Overlord Hall.

"Let me take action; it's just a matter of one strike."

"No, no, last time I conceded the opportunity to you, so this time it's my turn."

Very clearly, in the view of the Overlord Hall, any random person could effortlessly eliminate Lin Qian.

They were currently fighting over the chance to defeat Lin Qian and the Huaxia Alliance in a single stride.

"Why don't we all strike together?" Suddenly Liu Jianqing suggested.

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

However, on the Huaxia Alliance side, everyone's expression changed dramatically.

Although this Saint Institute battle, regardless of life and death, would be protected by the array's power, if those nine were to strike simultaneously, they could severely injure Lin Qian before the array's protection, and during the critical moment of realm breakthrough, his cultivation could be ruined!

"Hmph, great idea, let's act!" Sheng Li curled his lips to a smirk as he spoke, the radiant gold Soul Energy erupted, attacking toward Lin Qian.

Not only that, but the other eight also revealing fierce expressions, mercilessly attacked in Lin Qian's direction.

Masters of the Divine Stone Clan and War Blade Clan even approached aggressively, launching the attack.

Many secretly shook their heads, lamenting Lin Qian had doomed himself.

Sheng Da's Soul Energy attack was the first to approach, and just before it was about to strike Lin Qian.

Lin Qian's eyes suddenly widened, golden light flickering, imperial eyes activated.

Dominant imperial majesty surged forth, nine dragons roared, forming a majestic throne, elevating his body high above the nine heavens.

The imperial robe condensed into form, seeming substantial, an intangible wave enveloped Lin Qian, countering the incoming attack.

Bang!

Sheng Li's attack dissipated completely like smoke.

The Divine Stone Clan strongman who was dashing forward suddenly found a giant shield before him, blocking the path, sending him flying back.

Dazed, steps unsteady.

The War Blade Clan strongman who originally had Sword Energy swirling around him like a whirlwind.

But before him, the sword light flickered like a storm, striking him back.

An arrow appeared, effortlessly wrecking the Thunder Clan's lightning attack.

The roar sounded out loud, a domineering war blade cleaved the Bursting Flame Clan's fiery clouds into oblivion.

Following closely, Liu Jianqing, surrounded by shadow, sharp intention approaching his throat, frightened him to retreat hastily.

The Hard Clan's master who originally stepped forward was also struck back by a long spear, barely stabilizing his stance.

The fierce Soul Energy from the Strange Soul Clan strongman covered the sky, only to be repelled by a great halberd, awe-inspiring.

The Wood Realm Clan's master gathering the Wood Realm was instantly crushed by a formation evolved through Soul Device.

This change happened in an instant, within moments, the situation before everyone's eyes reversed.

The Overlord Hall, once assured of victory, was thoroughly forced back.

Meanwhile, Lin Qian sat dignified like the supreme deity, upon the throne formed by nine dragons, overlooking the opposition.

Before his throne, eight figures stood proudly, each exuding brilliance.

The ferocity of the Huaxia Empire was unveiled for the first time in this world.
