Chapter 168: Continental Court

The morning sun of Sky Jade City was completely eclipsed by the sheer majesty of the gathering.

Adjacent to the hovering Celestial Summit, built directly into the bedrock of the capital's highest mountain, was the Central Continent's Grand Court. It was a colossal, open-air amphitheater vast enough to hold a hundred thousand cultivators. Yet today, the air within it was so suffocatingly dense with absolute power that even breathing required deliberate effort.

At the absolute zenith of the Grand Court, seated upon five towering thrones, were the true rulers of the mortal plane.

The Five Emperors.

Each of them had long since shattered the boundaries of what ordinary cultivators believed possible, stepping firmly into the legendary Void Refinement Realm. They were existences standing at the pinnacle of the mortal world, figures whose names alone were enough to make entire provinces tremble.
