437: Chapter 437 The Emperor Awakens, Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Palace

Dagan City!

Inside the golden coffin at the center, after the Emperor opened his eyes, they were pitch black, like black holes!

The violent Dou Qi of many experts was still roaring incessantly, without any abnormality; suddenly, the Emperor's body abruptly stood up.

The experts attacking each other felt a chill in their hearts, and everyone seemed to be frozen in place.

Their gazes all turned toward the golden coffin, their hair standing on end. This... the Emperor isn't dead?

Yan Jue and his group all quieted down, looking strangely at the standing Emperor, their hearts nearly jumping out of their chests.

Roar...

A world-shaking roar erupted from the Emperor's mouth, making the entire Dagan City tremble.

The Yin energy gushing from the Ghost Spring actually avoided Dagan City.

Rumble!

The surrounding mountains and rivers shook; the roar was so powerful that even Dou Huang experts began to feel pain.

Hundreds of Dou Huang experts were rolling around as if having seizures. Tang Junyao's face was also pale; had Mr. Shui Xing not acted and infused her with Dou Qi, she would likely have been rolling uncontrollably as well.

A sonic attack? With the Emperor's roar, space exploded, filled with countless cracks; even Yao Ling's face turned pale.

A loud cry shook the heavens. As the Emperor roared, he flew into the air, radiating a five-star pressure that filled the entire Dagan City.

Instantly covering the entire Gan Mountain.

Rumble!

The overbearing imperial pressure swept across the surroundings, even twisting space; countless streams of Yin energy gathered frantically, forming a cloud as black as ink.

Frightening bolts of lightning danced like snakes, raging wildly and exceptionally terrifying.

Leaving the imperial seal of the celestial dynasty and the golden sacred sword in the golden coffin, his figure vanished into thin air; no one saw how he moved, and there wasn't even an afterimage.

When he reappeared, he landed in front of Yan Jue.

The Emperor of Great Yan had no power to resist; he was grabbed by an outstretched hand, and his entire Dou Qi and soul were absorbed!

Go!

Shui Xing grabbed Tang Junyao and sped away, but suddenly an afterimage swept past and appeared in front of Shui Xing, striking out with a palm.

Boom!

Pfft!

A loud bang was accompanied by Mr. Shui Xing spitting out blood from a heavy injury; using the momentum in the pitch-black environment, he fled.

At this moment, in Dagan City, nine guards turned into afterimages and began the slaughter.

Boom!

Pfft!

The servant and a guard exchanged palm strikes; after being heavily wounded, he left with Wu Jian.

Yao Ling also forced back her opponent with a palm strike, her figure flickering as she sped out of Gan Mountain.

These Dou Zong experts didn't dare to face him; the generals of the Great Yan Dynasty found it difficult to escape and were all slain by the guards, who slaughtered everyone.

Then, the nine guards stood guard around him. A drop of pitch-black blood from his fingertip was poured into his mouth, and Yan Jue's body was enveloped in black mist.

After the Emperor released Yan Jue, his black-hole-like eyes returned to normal, and with a slight movement, a look of excitement flickered in his eyes.

"Jie jie jie..." The Emperor laughed heartily, his black dragon robe fluttering without any wind.

The sound of delight, the sound of newfound excitement, caused space to tremble slightly, not stopping until thirty breaths had passed.

The black mist on Yan Jue's body vanished, and he opened his eyes to look at the Emperor.

He knelt directly, his expression extremely respectful: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

With a casual wave of the Emperor's hand, Dagan City shrank and entered his sleeve. He looked at the setting moon; dawn was approaching.

"Let's go!" the Emperor spoke majestically and flew forward. Behind him, Yan Jue rose and followed the nine guards, disappearing into the mountain forest.

"Where did Hun Tiandi go?" Yao Ling, having escaped, looked around but saw no sign of him.

Just then, a disheveled figure sped toward her from a distance. Yao Ling looked and saw it was indeed Hun Tiandi.

Whoosh!

Yao Ling moved her figure and landed in front of Hun Tiandi: "Are you alright?"

Then, Yao Ling quickly told Hun Tiandi everything that had happened.

"That Emperor has been resurrected?" Hun Tiandi said in disbelief.

"That Emperor used the Yin energy to refine himself and the soldiers of the entire city for tens of thousands of years, turning them into Ghost Spirit Bodies, half-human and half-ghost!" Yao Ling shook her head slightly.

With the Emperor resurrected and an army of a hundred thousand ghosts, the layout of the Central Plains will likely undergo a great change. It wouldn't be difficult for an Emperor to create a Celestial Dynasty.

"Hun Tiandi, where are you going next?" Yao Ling asked.

"Heading to the Central Plains to find three rare and precious herbs, and to look for my lost friends!" Hun Tiandi smiled.

"Then let's go!" Yao Ling sped off coldly into the distance, and Hun Tiandi shook his head helplessly.

Izumo Empire!

At the Myriad Scorpion Gate, Xie Fei had already received word after Yun Xiao's arrival. He spoke: "Lord Yun, His Majesty has ordered me to follow your arrangements. Please give your commands!"

Yun Xiao nodded slightly: "Thank you." He then began to infiltrate the Izumo Empire's royal family according to the plan, preparing to dismantle it.

The Izumo Empire and the Wan She Empire are both crucial to Dazheng's strategy, to the point of deploying three legion commanders there.

Inside the Heavenly Serpent Mansion!

In the main hall, Elder Qing She stood to the side. Seated on the chairs on both sides were Lü Man, Bai Ya... all high-ranking members of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

"Qing She, is what you said true?" On the main seat sat a woman in purple robes, elegant and poised, her entire aura overbearing.

"Mansion Lord, Qing She would not dare to deceive you!" Qing She bowed respectfully.

Although the Heavenly Serpent Mansion was a hegemon of the Northwest Region, this small territory was difficult to advance in. It had a deep foundation and immense power, though its relationship with the Tianshe Empire was delicate.

"Alas, Qing She, you know that the Heavenly Serpent Mansion has no intention of interfering in external disputes. Over the years, I have searched the continent, but not a single person has been suitable to inherit the position of Mansion Lord!"

The Master of Heavenly Snake Mansion said helplessly. Back then, Elder Qing She had brought back a half-snake girl from the Jiama Empire who possessed the rare Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

After all resources were poured into her cultivation, she fled the Heavenly Serpent Mansion for the sake of so-called freedom.

In recent years, the Master of Heavenly Snake Mansion had traveled abroad specifically to find a successor.

"Mansion Lord, if we are talking about a successor, the maidservant by His Majesty's side is likely the most suitable. That girl, Qing Yue, possesses divine eyes even rarer than the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils!"

"The Seven Luminaries Mystic Eyes!" Elder Qing She dropped a bombshell. This was a piece of information given to her by the Blood Shadow Clone when she left the Black-Corner Region.

"What did you say? It's really the Seven Luminaries Mystic Eyes!" The Master of Heavenly Snake Mansion was in disbelief. Although the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils were rare, this pair of divine eyes was even more precious.

Bai Ya and Lü Man, seated on both sides, glanced at each other, both seeing the astonishment in the other's eyes.

"What are his conditions?" The Master of Heavenly Snake Mansion suppressed the shock in her heart and asked slowly.

"The Heavenly Serpent Mansion must submit to the Dazheng Dynasty!" Qing She took a deep breath. As soon as these words were spoken, unparalleled auras erupted within the hall.

Similarly, Bai Ya and Lü Man both looked displeased.

"Mansion Lord, His Majesty has already unified the Black-Corner Region. Whether our Heavenly Serpent Mansion can withstand his military might even with all our efforts is still a question!"

Qing She advised. She knew all too well how many experts the Dazheng Dynasty possessed.

With Dou Ling as soldiers, Dou Wang and Dou Huang as generals, and Dou Zong as commanders, nearly five million troops entered the Time Tower. Under the abundance of resources, their strength was increasing frantically.

Supported by the Darong Chamber of Commerce, a steady stream of the world's resources was being funneled into the Dazheng Dynasty.

"Qing She, you may leave first. I will consider it," the Master of Heavenly Snake Mansion said indifferently.

"What do you all think?"

"I disagree. What bullshit Dazheng Dynasty? With the combined strength of our Heavenly Serpent Mansion and the Tianshe Empire, I don't believe we can't beat them!"

Bai Ya said coldly, his aura surging.

"Mansion Lord, the Dazheng Dynasty has unified the Black-Corner Region and destroyed the Mu Lan Empire and The Four Great Dynasties. Its strength cannot be underestimated. According to Qing She, there are countless experts within. If we submit now, we should be able to secure good positions!"

Lü Man said in a deep voice.
