179: Chapter 178 Slaying the Roc Demon

Several years later.

Great Xia Royal Palace.

"Revered Master, an invitation from the Imperial Court."

Chu Meng entered the royal hall and presented a golden invitation to Ye Xiu.

"Inviting me to a ceremony?"

Looking at the contents of the invitation.

Ye Xiu felt a bit suspicious. Since the Main World was fully perfected, although it was still an era of contention among ten thousand races...

...the status of the Imperial Court was extremely lofty, with almost ten thousand nations paying homage.

Simply put.

The Imperial Court didn't care about anything else as long as you provided annual tributes.

What on earth is the Imperial Court up to?

He shook his head slightly.

He didn't bother thinking too deeply about it.

Since Xing Mu completed the unification, the Imperial Court had dominated heaven and earth. Even Great Xia had to submit rare items every year to show recognition of the Imperial Court's status in the Main World.

A few years ago.

Xing Mu even made a plaque for the King of Great Xia and gave it to Ye Xiu.

"Revered Master, the Fengshan ceremony plan has been in implementation for nearly a hundred years. Although the Princess Consort has gone missing, this plan cannot be abandoned," Chu Meng reminded him in the royal hall.

"The Fengshan ceremony will proceed as scheduled."

Ye Xiu sat on his throne and turned his gaze toward the Imperial Court.

In the area of the Star Imperial City.

A divine light shot straight into the sky, connecting beneath a palace.

"This is quite a grand display."

He shook his head slightly.

Ye Xiu closed his eyes again, quietly sensing the [Law-Breaking Path] within the wangquan sword.

This Immortal Path had grown enough; it only lacked an opportunity to evolve into a world and achieve the half-step Supreme Realm Domain.

And this opportunity...

...was the Fengshan ceremony.

As long as there was enough Luck, the [Law-Breaking Path] could directly evolve into a world within the wangquan sword.

Chu Meng watched her Revered Master close his eyes to Cultivate.

She hesitated for a long time.

Before speaking again, "Revered Master, when will the Princess Consort return?"

"You don't need to worry about the Princess Consort's matters. Withdraw."

"But... Mistress has already..."

"Enough, withdraw."

Ye Xiu stopped cultivating and opened his eyes, his expression showing some displeasure.

Seeing this, Chu Meng...

...lowered her head, not daring to say anything more.

...

A few days later.

The Imperial Court.

The Star Imperial Palace in the sky.

Today was the day of ten thousand nations paying homage. Among the ten thousand races, only the Top Hundred Royal Clans were qualified to enter this hall.

"Long live the Star Emperor..."

Along with various blessings, exquisite items were presented.

Xing Mu was a bit bored.

After casually glancing at the tributes, she asked, "Did you deliver the invitation to the King of Great Xia?"

Hearing the Star Emperor's question...

...an extraordinary and handsome general immediately stepped forward.

It was Kong Xuan!

He wore silver-white armor, and his cultivation had reached the Peak of Immortality.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I sent someone to deliver the invitation, and it has reached the King of Great Xia."

"Then why hasn't he come yet?"

Xing Mu looked toward Great Xia. In her sight, Ye Xiu was currently cultivating with his eyes closed, clearly not taking the invitation to heart.

"Hey, you're still in the mood to Cultivate."

Xing Mu's dissatisfied voice reached his ears.

"Is something the matter?"

Ye Xiu didn't stop his cultivation. While continuing to sense the [Law-Breaking Path], he replied.

"Since you've already achieved the Supreme Realm, it's time to fulfill your previous promise. In the depths of Chaos, the ancestor of the God Race failed in chasing a traitor and was heavily wounded. Go deal with it."

"Fine."

Ye Xiu did not refuse.

This was something he had promised long ago.

He put away the wangquan sword.

He vanished directly from the royal hall.

Whoosh...

Chaos exploded.

The Immortal Lord Realm was considered the ceiling in the Chaos World.

As his perception extended...

...he immediately discovered two fighting auras in the depths of Chaos. One of the suppressed auras was clearly the ancestor of the God Race.

Buzz...

Ten minutes later.

Ye Xiu arrived at the battle area.

The Chaos here had long been turned into a vacuum; all tangible and intangible things were completely annihilated.

"Who is it?"

The Cultivator with horns on his head had a flash of wariness in his eyes.

He had been fighting with Shen for over ten years. Although he could suppress him, Shen's attacks were not to be underestimated.

If another Supreme Realm expert were added...

...he would definitely not be able to win this battle.

"The person who will kill you."

Ye Xiu spoke indifferently.

Fist light shone in the Chaos.

Suddenly...

...he blasted toward the Cultivator with two horns.

Seeing help arrive, Shen breathed a sigh of relief. The original battle was very disadvantageous for him. Although he wouldn't die, if he failed to complete the Star Emperor's task...

...he probably wouldn't have many years left to live.

After all, in ancient times, he had still chosen the wrong side.

Being able to make up for his mistakes was a very rare opportunity.

"Peng Demon, the Imperial Court has returned. You cannot escape. Surrender, and perhaps Her Majesty the Star Emperor will spare your life."

"Scram..."

The Peng Demon roared.

Facing the fist light, he didn't dare to be careless.

The power of heaven and earth surged into his palm, and he threw a punch in return.

"Overestimating yourself."

Ye Xiu sneered.

His Heavenly Emperor Sutra had reached the fifth level, and the strength of the Heavenly Emperor Fist likely had an attack power comparable to an Immortal King.

This Peng Demon, like himself, was at the Monarch Realm.

Trying to take the Heavenly Emperor Fist head-on was purely seeking death.

Boom...

Chaos shook.

The fist light fell, directly blasting the Peng Demon away.

The powerful force momentarily caused the Chaos to collapse, revealing a void.

Pfft...

The Peng Demon wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said solemnly, "With such strength, Your Excellency is actually a lackey of the Imperial Court. Don't you feel ashamed?"

"Heh... stop your nonsense. Slaying you is just to settle a debt of Karma."

Ye Xiu Pressing down.

He instantly appeared above the Peng Demon's head and stomped down hard.

Boom...

The already injured Peng Demon hurriedly condensed his world power to block the kick.

Using the force of the impact...

...the Peng Demon fled toward the depths of Chaos with a whoosh.

"So afraid of death, I really don't know how you cultivated to the Supreme Realm."

Ye Xiu shook his head slightly.

He stepped forward and pursued.

"Your Excellency, I will help you."

Shen also moved. This was the task the Star Emperor gave him. If he didn't participate, he wouldn't be able to report back.

The changes in heaven and earth from previous years...

...were still fresh in his memory.

With such majesty, the Star Emperor had likely long recovered to her Peak state, perhaps even more terrifying than back then.

Besides that.

The Blade Master and Great Heavenly Venerable had both returned to the Imperial Court.

If the Human Emperor in the River of Time were added, the Imperial Court could be considered to have restored its Peak prosperity.

As an ancestor of a foreign race, he didn't dare disobey the Star Emperor's orders.

Otherwise, the God Race would be destroyed.

And he would be executed.
