266: Section 266

A hint of surprise appeared on the faces of all who witnessed this scene.

Western Buddha Country.

A sweeping monk stopped his work, his eyebrows hanging down to both sides of his cheeks.

Golden light occasionally flickered in his aged, cloudy eyes.

He looked in the direction of the Northern Wasteland.

He put his hands together.

His eyes were dark and uncertain.

Behind him, the towering Buddha statue shimmered with compassionate Buddha light, but the next moment… that compassionate Buddha actually showed a fleeting evil smile.

It was only for an instant, then vanished.

Wuming Divine Kingdom.

Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stood up.

Terrifying auras continuously erupted, and powerful Daos appeared around him, circling him.

He was already an existence who had stepped onto the Emperors Road, and was even the Emperor who had walked the furthest on the Emperors Road.

He could clearly feel that the moment Su Zheng grasped the Mandate of Heaven…

The Emperors Road changed!

Originally, there were only five illusory figures on the Emperors Road, namely the Emperors of the Four Great Divine Kingdoms and the First Emperor.

And the moment the First Emperor held the Mandate of Heaven, his illusory figure on the Emperors Road slowly solidified.

There was even a faint intention of his true self stepping onto the Emperors Road.

The Emperors Road was mysterious and unpredictable; such a situation had never occurred, and no one knew what it represented.

But Zhu Yuanzhang felt a hint of threat.

He instinctively wanted to stand up; this Emperor, who extremely advocated martial force, was accustomed to leading by example.

But the next moment, he looked in the direction of the Northern Wasteland, paused slightly, then frowned deeply and slowly sat down.

“I… am not afraid of you, but it’s not time to turn hostile yet. I’m waiting for you…”

Hongwu Emperor said, and then before his eyes appeared an extremely indifferent man, whose entire body was filled with divinity.

Just a few days ago, that existence came to the Martial Ming Empire. He just stood there and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang across countless voids.

But Zhu Yuanzhang felt a hint of threat.

An unimaginably powerful Dao, a figure filled with divinity like a deity; he recognized the other party's identity at a glance.

Su Family… Qitian Emperor!

Although Zhu Yuanzhang's cultivation was higher than Qitian Emperor's, he could feel that the other party's strength was Heaven-Defying, and he even hid countless methods.

The gaze of these two caused the annihilation of space.

Afterward, Qitian Emperor said nothing and turned to leave. Now, thinking about it, that Su Family Clan Leader had probably calculated everything long ago.

Qitian Emperor’s visit was to warn him.

“Heh heh… it doesn’t matter. It’s not time yet, First Emperor. I hope you’ll be delicious when I pluck you…”

A wild smile appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang’s face.

He was Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, who rose from the lowest ranks through Heaven-Defying slaughter to establish the Wuming Divine Kingdom 830. He had absolute confidence, even giving up the Northern Wasteland and allowing Great Qin to grow!

Only to let the First Emperor step onto the Emperors Road, and then repair the Emperors Road, becoming his stepping stone!

At this moment, everyone felt that Su Zheng was about to bear the Mandate of Heaven.

This Emperor, who had restored the Emperors Road, would ultimately bear the remaining essence of the Divine Era in the golden age!

One must know that the strongest existences of the Divine Era, even now, must possess infinite power. It was unimaginable how powerful this Emperor would become after obtaining this Mandate of Heaven.

However…

Just as the power of the Mandate of Heaven was about to fully enter Su Zheng's body.

An incomparably domineering voice calmly sounded.

“When did I say I wanted to bear the Mandate of Heaven?!”

The next moment!

He suddenly raised his palm, forcefully grasping the Mandate of Heaven that was constantly undergoing Fusion with him, and then pulled with all his might!!

Bang!

The Mandate of Heaven was actually pulled out by him!

All observers were stunned!

Some were even so shocked they couldn't close their mouths. In their endless years of life, when had they ever seen such an existence?!

Such a Heaven-sent Opportunity was actually pulled out??

Afterward, the First Emperor’s majestic voice seemed to become the only sound in heaven and earth.

“Bearing the Mandate of Heaven?? There is nothing in this world worthy of me bearing!!”

“My name is Su Zheng, a member of the Su Family, the Emperor of the Great Qin Empire, bestowed the title of First Emperor by the Clan Chief. My heart’s desire is the Succession of all under heaven, to cleanse the six directions!!”

The First Emperor spoke word by word, clutching the Mandate of Heaven. Behind him, a National Luck Ancestral Dragon, whose body was so vast it could almost cover the entire Northern Wasteland, coiled.

“Under the vast sky, there is no land that is not the king’s domain. Within the four seas, there are no subjects who are not the king’s. Even Heaven shall bow before me~!”

“Mandate of Heaven bearing? No!!”

“What I want is submission! Heaven’s submission!”

The First Emperor’s unparalleled dominance was fully displayed at this moment. Even the Mandate of Heaven had to bow before the Emperor!!

Bearing? Inheriting? No!! What he wanted was complete submission!

The National Luck Ancestral Dragon roared to the sky, and then, under the unbelievable gazes of all beings…

That unattainable Mandate of Heaven gradually evolved and solidified in Su Zheng’s hand, eventually… the Mandate of Heaven submitted…

It transformed into a luminous, crystalline jade seal emitting myriad rays of light!

“What a Prodigy!! A born Emperor! The Mandate of Heaven actually submitted!”

“Hiss!! The Emperor Clan Su Family truly has Prodigies like rain. One strips away the Mandate of Heaven, and another makes the Mandate of Heaven submit!”

“This child’s future, I fear, will lead to the fifth Divine Kingdom… or even more!”

“Wielding the Mandate of Heaven, that divine object contains infinite power!”

One by one, powerful beings exclaimed at this moment.

Within the imperial city, countless citizens and officials knelt to the ground, bowing to the Emperor!

However, no one noticed that countless cracks gradually appeared on the Black Armor Man’s body.

And then…

Crack!

His body instantly shattered, everything annihilated, and a pair of dark hands suddenly reached out.

Those large hands were covered in black fur, eerie, ominous, and incredibly powerful.

“Transformed by the Mandate of Heaven? Not bad!! It belongs to my Restricted Zone!”

Chapter 152: Restricted Zone is Eternal? Then Destroy One!

The dark hands were covered in countless twisted fur, and heavy Death Qi surged like wild vines.

Wherever the large hands enveloped, everything was dragged into endless despair.

The Restricted Zone made its move!!!

Terrifying aura erupted at this moment.

Powerful force caused space to shatter layer by layer.

Rumble!!!

Those large hands went straight for the jade seal in the First Emperor's hand.

They wanted to snatch away the Mandate of Heaven that had transformed into a Treasure Artifact!!

“The Restricted Zone guys have made their move!!”

“Indeed, the Restricted Zone doesn’t even care about the Su Family!!”

“This is truly a good show. They actually dare to bully the Su Family in the Northern Wasteland!”

“There are great horrors and great Weird in the Restricted Zone. Perhaps only the Restricted Zone dares to attack the Su Family in such a manner!!”

One by one, powerful beings exchanged words.

To be honest, when the First Emperor purified the karma and transformed the Mandate of Heaven into a Treasure Artifact, they were all tempted.

That was the Mandate of Heaven!
