1104 The Khutuluns
"I call upon the ancestors of the Khutulun tribe: guide and protect from this mighty foe," declared Khutulun. As soon as she uttered these words, the Void Battlefield had a subtle shift. A wing suddenly blows all the disaster around the siblings, bringing a cool atmosphere.
Eleven people of different sizes and sexes appeared, although they were tall and physically intimidating, some more than others. These summoned Barbarians looked at Khutulun, and an elderly one with extreme muscles said: "You're the one who summoned us?"
"Yes, tribe leader."
"So, you're the 12th? Does that mean the Emperor Curse should activate? Wait." The elderly man turned to Tolui. "The 13th? And in one generation?"
"The lower dimension is experiencing turmoil, so things are complicated," explained Tolui.
"That would explain why you're a monk," nodded the elderly, who was the tribe's first Great Emperor and the first person to hold the title of Khutulun.
"I have no issue with you being a monk, but don't use it to shackle the mind of our people."
"I would never," replied Tolui.
"What about your descendants and heirs?"
"I will ensure this never happens."
"I'll trust you," nodded Khutulun One before glancing at Feng Heng. "You call us to deal with a mighty foe, so let's concentrate on the task at hand." He frowned as he realized the severity of this situation. Their enemy had reached the lower end of the 5-Fold Battle Realm, while his two descendants only had peak 3-Fold (Khutulun) and middle 3-Fold.
"This won't be easy," he said to the others. Meanwhile, Feng Heng was observing everybody.
'Are those the former Emperors of the Khutulun Tribe summoned as Ancient Spirits? Given how the power system of this world worked, it made sense for them to do this.'
Feng Heng decided to go all out for this battle and end it as soon as possible. A golden figure appeared above him before fusing with his body, turning him into a golden monk.
"Was that a Golden Body of Merit?" asked Khutulun Four, a woman dressed in animal pelts with a dead lion coat hanging above her shoulder. She was beautiful with a natural, wild, and fierce aura.
"It does look like it, but the aura is different," added Khutulun 4, a man three meters tall who wore armor covering his wrists, fists, and boots but bared his torso.
"It's not a real Golden Body of Merit," said Khutulun 3, the first Eternal Emperor of the Khutulun tribe. He was tall but skinny, but no one would underestimate him because of his stature. That's because he was born with divine strength. At age 3, he killed an ordinary bear with one punch, and at age 9, he killed a Tier 1 demonic beast without even cultivating.
"What is it then?"
"I don't know; I just know my intuition tells me it's not the real thing."
"He summoned it from the future," said Khutulun 5, a tall woman with all black deel and a headdress that made her look like it was two snakes frozen on both sides of her shoulder. However, her most eye-catching feature was her heterochromatic eyes: gold and silver.
She was a legend in the tribe because she was a pseudo-Emperor and because she once ripped those eyes from a Silver-Gold Tiger, an Innate creature, during an outing in a secret dimension from the old era.
"The future?"
"He has the potential to condense a body of merit but hasn't gathered enough merit, so he used a Time-based spell to summon it from the future, or a potential future."
"The enemy might be more troublesome than we anticipated," said Khutulun 2, a middle-aged man in a loose, bland black robe who concealed his powerful physique. He appeared to intentionally reduce his aura and presence.
"Ancestors, you were known for your wisdom. Do you have a plan?" asked Khutulun, who became number 12.
"I do," replied number 2. "Before I reveal, am I to understand you know many divine abilities?"
"Huh, yes," nodded Toliu.
