154: Let's see how you die

God Race Holy Land, God Emperor Hall.

A faint golden light tore through the Void Realm, stumbling as it fell onto the jade steps in front of the hall.

The God Guards standing outside the hall were shocked and rushed forward to support him: "Your Majesty! What happened to you?"

"Get lost!"

The God Emperor roared, though his voice was extremely weak.

His current state was wretched to the extreme.

His Physical Body was gone, his Origin was severely damaged, and his Primordial Spirit was teetering on the edge of collapse. If not for the tenacious vitality of an Immortal King, his soul would have already flown away and his spirit scattered.

The God Emperor forced his heavily injured body, which was on the verge of dissipating, to move step by step into the hall.

With every step, the solidity of his Primordial Spirit grew more ethereal, and his aura weakened further.

"Where is the Grand Elder!"

The God Emperor roared hoarsely, his voice echoing through the hall.

A moment later, a purple-gold figure arrived in haste.

Seeing the God Emperor in such a state, God Without Boundaries's pupils constricted in horror: "Your Majesty! What powerful enemy did you encounter?"

"Cut the nonsense."

The God Emperor slumped onto his throne, his breath faint: "Go and fetch a Nine-Revolution Spirit Restoring Pill."

"Yes!"

God Without Boundaries also saw that the God Emperor was on the brink of life and death. Not daring to delay, he hurriedly turned and left.

Before long, he returned in a hurry holding a purple-gold jade box.

The moment the jade box opened, a Medicinal Pill swirling with nine-colored radiance emerged.

The fragrance of the pill instantly filled the entire hall. Even a single whiff made one's Primordial Spirit feel refreshed and their spirits lifted.

The God Emperor grabbed the pill and swallowed it directly.

A nine-colored divine light instantly erupted, enveloping his entire Primordial Spirit.

Under the miraculous nourishment of the pill, the shocking cracks on his Primordial Spirit began to slowly heal.

Three hours later, the God Emperor finally opened his eyes again.

At this moment, his Primordial Spirit was no longer ethereal and unstable, appearing almost no different from a normal person.

However, without a Physical Body to rely on, his strength was ultimately not what it used to be. Fortunately, he had preserved his life and cultivation, which was a blessing among misfortunes.

"Your Majesty, what exactly happened?" God Without Boundaries asked cautiously, his eyes full of shock and doubt: "Could it be that the Demon Emperor and Demon Sovereign joined forces to ambush you?"

An unforgettable hatred flashed in the God Emperor's eyes, and he said through gritted teeth: "This Emperor fell at the hands of a woman!"

"A woman?" God Without Boundaries was stunned.

The God Emperor spoke coldly: "That wench claimed to be Emperor Yan's Dao Companion. She clearly only has an Early Stage Immortal King cultivation, yet her combat power is Heaven-Defying to the extreme!"

"This Emperor even used my divine ancestor true body, yet I was still no match for her and ended up in this wretched state."

"If this Emperor hadn't escaped quickly, I probably wouldn't have made it back."

God Without Boundaries gasped, his face full of disbelief: "An Early Stage Immortal King defeated Your Majesty at the Late Stage Immortal King? How is that possible!"

"This Emperor saw it with my own eyes and experienced it personally, how could it be false?!"

The God Emperor slammed his fist onto the armrest of the throne, making the entire hall tremble: "That woman is by no means an ordinary Immortal King!"

"Nine divine ring phantoms appeared behind her, each containing an ultimate Dao!"

"When the nine combined into one, her power was comparable to the Peak of an Immortal King, even touching the threshold of Immortal King Perfection!"

As he said this, a deep sense of dread flashed in the God Emperor's eyes.

The images of that battle still lingered in his mind.

God Without Boundaries's expression became solemn to the extreme: "If that's the case, then Emperor Yan is likely even more extraordinary. For such a woman to follow him so devotedly, how could he be a simple character?"

"Therefore, we can wait no longer."

The God Emperor stood up, killing intent radiating from his eyes: "That woman could defeat me in a hundred moves. Her true combat power is at least at the Peak of an Immortal King, perhaps even at Immortal King Perfection."

"Add to that Long Yin, Long Qinger, and that mysterious Emperor Yan."

He looked at God Without Boundaries and said word by word: "Our race alone can no longer contend with them."

God Without Boundaries hesitated: "Your Majesty, you mean?"

"Send a message."

The God Emperor's voice was bone-chillingly cold: "Send a message to the upper echelons, requesting that an Immortal Emperor descend to suppress and kill that woman and Emperor Yan!"

God Without Boundaries's face changed drastically: "Your Majesty, please reconsider! Asking the upper echelons of the race to take action comes at too great a price!"

According to the rules of the God Race in this Universe, if a Lower Realm branch requests aid from the upper echelons, they must pay a massive amount of resources.

At least seventy percent of the branch's accumulation over a hundred thousand years!

More importantly, once this precedent is set, the branch's evaluation in the eyes of the upper echelons will plummet, and future resource allocation and promotion quotas will be greatly affected.

"No matter how great the price, it must be paid!"

The God Emperor was firm and brook no argument: "That woman's combat power is Heaven-Defying, and Emperor Yan is even more mysterious and unpredictable."

"If we wait for them to truly grow, forget the God Race branch in the Myriad Laws Star Realm, even the God Race upper echelons of this Universe might face the danger of extermination!"

"As for resources..." He sneered: "As long as we kill that woman and Emperor Yan, what price can't be recovered? Could their Legacies and treasures not be worth this consumption?"

God Without Boundaries opened his mouth, wanting to persuade him further.

But meeting the God Emperor's crazed and resolute eyes, it finally turned into a sigh: "This Old Minister obeys."

"However, Your Majesty, it will take time for the upper echelons to dispatch an Immortal Emperor. It will take at least half a year."

"During this period, how should we respond?"

The God Emperor pondered for a moment and said coldly: "Pass down the order to recall all clansmen training outside, activate the race-protecting array, and enter the highest state of combat readiness."

"When the upper echelon's Immortal Emperor descends..." A cold light flashed in his eyes, as if he could already see the scene: "This Emperor wants to personally watch that woman and Emperor Yan's Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, never to be reincarnated!"

God Without Boundaries bowed: "Yes, this Old Minister will handle it immediately."

"Wait."

The God Emperor called him back: "Bring two more treasures that nourish the Primordial Spirit. This Emperor's Dao injuries still need to be stabilized."

God Without Boundaries's lip twitched.

The Nine-Revolution Spirit Restoring Pill was already the best among Grade Six Immortal Pills.

And His Majesty wants two more?

This consumption was a bit spendthrift.

But he didn't dare say much and could only comply: "This Old Minister will go to the treasury now to fetch the Soul Nourishing Jade and Clear Heart Lotus Seed."

"Go."

The God Emperor waved his hand and closed his eyes tiredly.

After the Grand Elder left, the God Emperor sat alone in the empty hall, the expression in his eyes shifting constantly.

He thought of Mu Xuanyin's terrifying sword strike, his own pathetic escape, and the humiliation of Long Yin's public breaking of the engagement.

"Long Yin, Emperor Yan, and that woman."

The God Emperor murmured softly, every word soaked in hatred: "Just you wait."

"When the Immortal Emperor descends, I will make you wish for life but find only death!"

He raised his hand, and a blood-colored Jade Slip appeared in his palm.

The Jade Slip was crystal clear, with mysterious blood-colored patterns flowing on its surface, emitting an ancient and majestic aura.

This was an emergency messaging treasure bestowed upon the branch by the God Race upper echelons. It could only be used three times, and the cost was enormous.

But accordingly, the upper echelons would take it extremely seriously.

The God Emperor hesitated for a moment, a flash of pain at the cost in his eyes, but he ultimately injected his Divine Thought into it.

*Buzz.*

The Jade Slip burst with a blinding blood-red light, and a message crossed the endless Star Domain, traveling deep into this Universe:

"The Lower Realm branch has encountered a powerful enemy. There is an Early Stage Immortal King woman with combat power comparable to an Immortal King Perfection. Her Dao Companion, Emperor Yan, is mysterious and unpredictable, suspected to be an Immortal Emperor powerhouse, and possesses a Heaven-Defying Legacy. Requesting the descent of an Immortal Emperor Perfection to suppress and kill these two. The branch is willing to bear the necessary cost."

After the message was sent, the Jade Slip flickered once, the blood-red light gradually dimmed, and it returned to tranquility.

The God Emperor let out a long breath of turbid air, the pain at the cost even more evident in his eyes.

This single message would consume at least thirty percent of the God Race's resource reserves in the Myriad Laws Star Realm.

But thinking of the fate of Mu Xuanyin and Emperor Yan, he felt it was all worth it.

"Half a year."

The God Emperor looked out at the vast starry sky outside the hall, a crazed light flashing in his eyes: "This Emperor will wait for these six months."

"When the time comes, let's see how you die!"
