The Peerless Emperor

The Fierce Hunting Clan itself is a descendant of the Berserk Battle Clan, a bloodline clan of the Immortal Realm. They were merely tainted by the lower realm's bloodline, thus becoming the Fierce Hunting Clan of today.

Back then, the Berserk Battle Clan was also a vassal of the Xuanyan Clan, serving as their guardian clan.

For such powerful bloodlines like the Xuanyan Human Clan, some clans choose to erase them, while others choose to protect them, safeguarding them when they are weak.

Once such a bloodline clan grows immensely powerful, they can even surpass their former selves.

Lin Qian's revelation of the truth was like a thunderous clap on a clear day, resounding endlessly in the minds of the three, unable to dissipate.

Even Wei Wushuang was shocked by the true origin of the Berserk Battle Clan, subconsciously glancing at Kuang Luantian, momentarily at a loss for words.

Then, Lin Qian looked at Mu Yan and, after pondering for a while, said, "Since we are at this point, why not be frank with the Mu Clan Chief. Your Wood Realm Clan has branches in the Immortal Upper Realm, and among them, there is the Wood Realm Royal Clan!"

"Wood Realm Royal Clan!" Mu Yan's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he stared intently at Lin Qian, eager to hear more information from him.

"The Wood Realm Royal Clan has the means to fuse the Heart of the Wood Realm into their hearts for cultivation. The Sealing Power is terrifying; when the Wood Realm descends, the sun and moon become dark, transforming into a shadowy forest that controls the flow of time, trapping enemies for countless years, driving them to madness and despair, eventually leading to death by inner demons."

"Moreover, in the Immortal Upper Realm, the Wood Realm Clan cultivates a type of Spirit Wood known as the Wood Realm King Tree, which bears the Wood Realm King Fruit. The juice of the fruit contains a rich concentration of Wood Realm Power, which is extremely effective in writing talismans or setting up Arrays."

"Furthermore, the seeds within the fruit are the Heart of the Wood Realm, crucial for cultivating the Wood Realm King Tree."

This knowledge from Lin Qian was naturally relayed by the Xuan Flame. As the Star Earth Spirit of Xuanyan Star, she knows many matters about the Immortal Realm.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yan was visibly amazed, and the three individuals immediately understood where Lin Qian acquired so many Hearts of the Wood Realm.

Mu Yan cautiously looked at Lin Qian before him: "Emperor Lin, could it be that the numerous Hearts of the Wood Realm in your possession are indeed…"

"Precisely, my Empire has cultivated the Wood Realm King Tree. In the Immortal Upper Realm, cultivating the Heart of the Wood Realm is no easy matter, but here, it is effortless!" Lin Qian replied with a proud expression, looking at Mu Yan.

For Huasheng, cultivating Wood Realm King Trees that the Wood Realm Clan of the Immortal Upper Realm finds difficult is but child's play.

Mu Yan's breathing quickened; he realized that Lin Qian's statements were evidently not mere nonsense, implying that the amount of Hearts of the Wood Realm in Lin Qian's possession might drive the entire Wood Realm Clan to madness.

"Also, have you noticed any changes in your grandson?" Lin Qian intentionally posed a question, casting a sly glance at Mu Yan before him, his lips curling as he asked.

Mu Yan hesitated slightly, recalling some details about his grandson before he suddenly realized: "The Heart of the Wood Realm in him seems overly abundant, as if there's an endless supply, nurturing him at every moment."

"Not only him, but the other Wood Realm Clan students in the Huaxia Alliance are in a similar situation, albeit slightly less intense." Lin Qian remarked as he looked at Mu Yan, saying, "In a sense, your grandson and the other Wood Realm Clan students of the Huaxia Alliance can already be considered as part of the Wood Realm Royal Clan."

"This!" Mu Yan's body trembled, too shocked to speak.

Lin Qian's words contained a wealth of information that was staggering.

The Wood Realm Royal Clan can fuse the Heart of the Wood Realm into their hearts for cultivation, and now his grandson and other clansmen are classified as part of the Wood Realm Royal Clan.

Isn't this to say that they have already successfully fused the Heart of the Wood Realm into their hearts for cultivation?

This was something even their ancestors could not accomplish, something that not even the patriarchs of the Wood Realm Clan could do.

"If it's possible, the Wood Realm Clan might be able to have everyone become part of the Wood Realm Royal Clan. How do you think the strength of your clan would stand then, Mu Clan Chief?" Lin Qian smiled, watching Mu Yan's shocked expression.

After these words, Mu Yan sat down on the ground, completely devoid of grace.

He couldn't help it; the shock brought to him by Lin Qian was utterly terrifying.

Following that, Lin Qian turned his gaze to Kuang Luantian: "Kuang Clan Leader, if you were to engage in combat with the Saint Rune Clan's leader, what are your odds?"

Kuang Luantian, still reeling from the shock of the Wood Realm Clan's situation, was momentarily bewildered upon hearing Lin Qian's question. After a brief contemplation, he cautiously replied, "One in ten."

"Now, if you awakened as part of the Berserk Battle Clan, how do you think you would fare against the Saint Rune Clan's leader?"

Lin Qian asked again, leaving Kuang Luantian uncertain. The Saint Rune Clan, after all, is the foremost clan within the Sea Spiral Holy Institute, with terrifying combat power.

Their ancestor, standing by Wei Wushuang's side, is a top combat general, unmatched in battle prowess.

After some thought, Kuang Luantian cautiously made his guess: "I might stand a fifty percent chance."

"How does Sheng Da's talent compare to his grandfather's?" Lin Qian again asked.

"Far superior!" Kuang Luantian responded immediately.

"Then, based on the match-up between the Berserk Battle Clan and Sheng Da, if Kuang Clan Leader awakens and completes the bloodline, your odds against the Saint Rune Clan's leader will reach one hundred percent. If you enter the Berserk state, your strength…"

Here, Lin Qian paused, then continued with a startling revelation: "You can smash his head with one punch!"

"Huh?" Kuang Luantian was visibly stunned, could the awakening of the bloodline make the Berserk Battle Clan that formidable?

It's not that Kuang Luantian was underconfident; he truly didn't know that the Berserk Battle Clan is renowned in the Immortal Realm for their formidable bloodline and unrivaled bravery in the Berserk state.

Those who look down on the Berserk Battle Clan for becoming the Xuanyan Human Clan's guardian clan, refer to them as the Mad Dog Clan.

Yet, no one dares to mention this nickname in front of a Berserk Battle Clan member.

They're afraid of being torn apart!

Wei Wushuang listened silently, astonished and visibly moved, but his composure was noticeably better than the two clan leaders.

He remained silent, understanding the significance of his disciple's words to the two clan leaders.

His disciple wished to attract the heartfelt allegiance of the two clans to the Huaxia Empire through the promise of a broader future, rather than through coercion or bribery.

He wanted the two clan leaders to wholeheartedly and diligently persuade their clansmen to joyfully join the Huaxia Empire.

"My disciple is truly remarkable. Heh, even matters of the Immortal Upper Realm are crystal clear to him." Wei Wushuang nodded privately, "Once the Sacred Command concludes, I must bring this precious lad back to the Wei family. With him, our Wei family will surely regain prestige and dispel the gloom."
