Chapter 1661: Ancient Covenant
Li Luo's eyes were focused on the yellowed and ancient piece of paper in Heavenly Emperor Jiang's hands, his expression becoming more and more serious. The moment the object had appeared, he could sense all sorts of terrifying gazes piercing through the void, directed towards this location.
It looked like a thin piece of paper, but it carried unfathomable weight. Even a Heavenly Emperor might not be able to move it.
"Is that... the legendary Ancient Covenant?" Li Luo guessed, his heart beating in trepidation.
He had vaguely identified the object when he heard the whispers of the countless Heavenly Emperors. There was no behemoth like the Sacred Void Resonance Sect in the current era, an organization that could rally all of the experts of their time. There was no Legendary Sect Master that could slaughter Divine Fruit Heavenly Emperors either.
That said, each era had their own means to deal with the largest problems. The fact that the ten divine continents were still resisting the Others from the Shadow World without the Sacred Void Resonance Sect meant that they had their own unique methods.
In this case, it was the Ancient Covenant. The Heavenly Emperors of the world had sworn an oath of blood over this alliance, forming a deep resonance with the divine continents themselves. In a way, the covenant was the physical embodiment of the Heavenly Emperors' close cooperation and agreement to band together.
Despite being a Divine Fruit Heavenly Emperor, Heavenly Emperor Jiang was barely strong enough to hold the piece of paper in his hand.
He slowly raised his hand, then the piece of paper started to slowly float in mid air. At this moment, the vast worldly natural energy around them compressed into a roiling torrent that poured into the paper.
After which, he turned towards Li Jingzhe with a smile.
"Heavenly Emperor Jingzhe, this is the Ancient Covenant of the Divine Continents. Whenever a Heavenly Emperor ascends, they are asked if they wish to protect this land with all of their heart and soul and are given the option to leave their resonance imprint on it and increase its power.
"Furthermore, we wish to activate it. Doing so requires three Heavenly Emperors who have left their imprint on it to join hands. We're missing one participant. Heavenly Emperor Jingzhe, are you willing to leave your imprint?"
Li Jingzhe looked at the ancient piece of paper. He had long known about the Ancient Covenant but had never seen it in person. After all, only the mysterious Heavenly Emperors had the right to leave their imprints on it.
