416: Chapter 416 All Realms Submit! All Powers of the Heavens Submit to the Xu Family's Territory

The sun was high in the sky.

The Evil Qi in the core area of the Myriad Realms Battlefield had been completely purified by the pressure of the Xu Family's newly ascended dual Emperors.

Outside the main hall of the Xu Family's base, on the white jade plaza originally used for troop mustering, a grand, once-in-an-eternity ceremony of submission was taking place.

Below the steps of the plaza, it was densely packed with people.

Any one of these individuals, if picked out, would be a major figure capable of causing an earthquake in the cultivation world.

There were ancient Holy Lords who ruled over a Star Domain, Clan Chiefs of archaic remnant tribes who lived in seclusion, and leaders of various Daoist traditions who had once relied on the God and Nether Races and were now as frightened as birds startled by a bow.

At this moment, these big shots had all restrained their auras, standing on the plaza with lowered heads and submissive expressions, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Everyone's gaze was cast with reverence toward the high and lofty white jade main hall.

The main hall doors were wide open.

In the center of the main hall sat a wide throne crafted from a single piece of nine-colored divine gold, engraved with the auspicious totem of a Dragon and Phoenix.

Xu Chen wore a well-tailored black casual robe with gold patterns, leaning lazily against the throne.

The pressure of the Emperor Realm was concealed invisibly by him, but that demeanor of one who had long held a high position and possessed the power of life and death still made those below who were secretly peeking feel palpitations.

On the left and right sides of the throne, lined up in a row, was Xu Chen's luxurious "Great Saint Harem."

Su Qingge stood at the very front in a dignified moon-white palace dress.

Luo Hongyi's red dress was like fire, Nangong Waner's Sword Qi was crisp and clear, Bai Ningbing's skin was like ice and bones like jade, and Lin Qingxue's Sword Intent was aloof...

Even Ji Qingyun and Tuoba You, the two heroines who had joined the Xu Family not long ago, were standing with their backs straight, enjoying the reverent gazes of the leaders of the ten thousand races, who were originally high and unreachable.

"The time is almost up."

Xu Chen picked up a cup of spiritual tea beside him and took a gentle sip.

Hearing Xu Chen speak, the crowd on the plaza below instantly became silent enough to hear a pin drop.

"Since you are all here, let's go through the motions according to the rules."

Xu Chen set down the teacup, his deep purple-gold eyes sweeping across the entire venue.

As soon as his voice fell.

Ye Jiayin, standing in the front row on the left, did not hesitate and walked down from beside the throne.

Today, she was wearing a dark purple Demon Sovereign robe that carried a great sense of oppression; that mature, voluptuous, and country-toppling charm of a mature woman appeared even more lethal against the backdrop of the Origin of the Demonic Path.

In the astonished gazes of the leaders of the ten thousand races, this supreme ruler who had once governed the Ancient Demon Race walked to the white jade steps and slowly knelt on both knees.

"The Ancient Demon Race is willing to submit the entire clan to the Xu Family, generation after generation, serving the Emperor as our master. If we violate this oath, may heaven destroy us and the earth extinguish us!"

Ye Jiayin's voice was not loud, but it clearly spread throughout the entire plaza.

Ye Wushuang, behind her, also knelt down without hesitation; there was not a trace of unwillingness on her cold and beautiful face, only absolute obedience to the man on the throne.

Following the lead of the Demon Race mother and daughter.

Long Aoxue and Feng Jiuyou, standing in the team on the right, exchanged a glance and stepped out together.

These two queens of the Yao Race—one dissolved her True Dragon domineering aura, and the other restrained the arrogance of the Undying Divine Phoenix.

They walked side by side to Ye Jiayin's side and also knelt on both knees.

"The hundred clans of the Demon Realm are willing to serve the Emperor as our master! Wherever the Xu Family's sword points, that is where the Yao Race's blades shall strike!"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The leaders of the ten thousand races below the plaza, watching the rulers of the Demon Race and Yao Race—who usually stood on equal footing with them or even suppressed them—so cleanly and decisively surrender all their foundations, and even abandon their dignity to completely become vassals of the Xu Family.

How could they dare to have even the slightest hesitation?

"The Tai Chu Holy Land of the Eastern Wasteland is willing to submit to the Xu Family!"

"The Li Huo Divine Palace of the Southern Ridge is willing to serve the Emperor as our master!"

"The Vajra Ancient Temple of the Western Desert..."

"The Northern Plains..."

It was just like knocking over dominoes.

The leaders of the ten thousand races on the plaza, like harvested wheat, knelt on the ground in large swathes.

Sounds of oaths of loyalty that shook the heavens and earth intertwined and echoed over the Myriad Realms Battlefield.

Those leaders of Daoist traditions who had once relied on the God and Nether Races knelt on the ground, kowtowing with loud thuds, fearing that if they were slow to shout, they would be treated as cleanup targets by this newly ascended Killing God Emperor.

Xu Chen leaned against the throne, watching the grand spectacle of the ten thousand races paying homage below, a satisfied smile flashing in the depths of his eyes.

"All of you, rise."

Not until the sounds of the oaths gradually died down did Xu Chen slowly lift his hand.

An invisible force lifted up, supporting all the leaders of the ten thousand races kneeling on the plaza.

"My Xu Family has never been a bloodthirsty bunch. Since the God Lord and Nether Emperor have already been executed, as long as you behave yourselves and act according to the new order established by my Xu Family, I, the Emperor, will naturally not make things difficult for you."

Xu Chen's voice was calm, yet it carried an unquestionable majesty.

"In the future, the distribution of resources across the heavens and myriad realms will be uniformly coordinated by the Grand Elder of my Xu Family. The Demon Race and Yao Race, as vassals of my Xu Family, will assist in maintaining order in all realms. If anyone is blind and wants to challenge the bottom line of my Xu Family..."

Xu Chen's gaze grew slightly cold.

"The God and Nether Races are your cautionary tale."

"We respectfully obey the Emperor's decree!"

The leaders of the ten thousand races bowed in unison, cold sweat already soaking their backs.

The submission ceremony ended.

The leaders of the various forces felt relieved and, under the arrangement of the Xu Family Elders, began to exit in an orderly manner, preparing to handle the tedious procedures for resource handover.

The harem group on both sides of the throne also completely relaxed at this moment.

Ye Jiayin, Long Aoxue, and the others walked back to Xu Chen's side from the steps.

The majestic aura from just a moment ago instantly vanished.

"Husband, my knees were so sore from kneeling just now; you didn't even tell me to get up earlier."

Ye Jiayin leaned against Xu Chen's shoulder, her purple eyes filled with a hint of resentment, though her tone was full of coquettishness.

"Exactly, those white jade floor tiles are rock hard; you don't know how to cherish the fairer sex at all."

Long Aoxue also pouted and chimed in from the side.

Xu Chen smiled and reached out both hands, wrapping them around the waists of the two queens, one on the left and one on the right.

"That was for the outsiders to see. Once we return to the Bedchamber, I will naturally compensate your knees properly."

This unabashed flirting drew a round of coquettish scolding and light laughter from the surrounding heroines.

Su Qingge watched this harmonious and warm scene before her, stepped forward, and gently adjusted the collar of Xu Chen's black casual robe.

"Husband, now that the myriad realms are settled and all the forces of the heavens have submitted, we have been delayed on this battlefield for quite some time; it is time to go home."

When the word "home" was mentioned, Xu Chen's eyes softened completely.

"Indeed, it is time to go home."

Xu Chen stood up, took Su Qingge's hand, and cast his gaze around at the women beside him who had accompanied him to conquer the Myriad Realms and whose status had now risen to become the most powerful women in the heavens.

"Pass down the order: the entire army is to break camp!"
