256: Chapter 256 Obeying the Law!

After that giant claw retracted...

The crack on the Barrier vanished along with it.

The golden Barrier's light shone brightly once more, as if everything that had just happened was merely a nightmare.

However...

Everyone knew that it wasn't a nightmare; they had truly almost died just now, and this Star Domain had nearly met its end!

Wang Chen withdrew his palm and stood with his hands behind his back.

His gaze swept over the World-Destroying Beasts that were still in a daze, and a hint of indifference flashed in his eyes.

These brutes.

They had been roaring frantically just a moment ago, but now they were all as stiff as wooden chickens.

Their king had been slapped back; although their intelligence was extremely low, they weren't fools, and instinct drove them to want to flee!

A Peak Domain Realm World-Destroying Beast was the first to react, turning around to run.

Once it ran...

The other World-Destroying Beasts also snapped out of it, following suit and fleeing one after another.

For a time...

Thousands of World-Destroying Beasts scattered and fled like a frightened flock of sheep.

Wang Chen watched them.

Without saying a word, he simply extended his palm and made a grasping motion toward the Void Realm.

In the eyes of the crowd, his hand instantly transformed into a giant palm that covered the sky.

Upon that giant palm, mountains and rivers were all present, as if it had evolved into a complete world...

No!

It wasn't 'as if'!

That was a complete world, a miniature of the Tianxuan Dynasty!

With a single palm, he directly manifested a miniature of the Tianxuan Dynasty; it was truly terrifying to the extreme!

Wherever the giant palm passed, the Void Realm solidified and the Laws came to a standstill.

Those World-Destroying Beasts that were desperately fleeing...

Every single one was instantly frozen in place, unable to move.

They roared in terror and struggled desperately, but it was all in vain.

That giant palm...

Was like a cage of heaven and earth, locking them firmly within.

Then.

Wang Chen clenched his hand.

"Poof—"

A soft sound rang out.

Thousands of World-Destroying Beasts simultaneously turned into flying ash.

They didn't even have time to scream before they completely vanished.

That scene...

Could be described as spectacular to the absolute limit.

Thousands of Domain Realm World-Destroying Beasts turned into dust in that single instant; black ash fluttered through the sky like a fall of black snow.

At this moment.

The entire field was deathly silent.

Everyone stared blankly at Wang Chen, their eyes filled with awe and fear.

Repelling an Immortal Realm existence with one palm and obliterating all World-Destroying Beasts with a wave of his hand—

Just what kind of strength was this, for heaven's sake?

And what kind of method was this ability to manifest a world with a wave of his hand?

This scene had completely exceeded the limits of their understanding!

"Too strong... this is just too strong..."

"This is definitely the Immortal Realm! Only the Immortal Realm could do this!"

"In our Star Domain, there actually exists an Immortal Realm powerhouse? How could we not know at all?"

"Are you stupid? Is an existence of this level something we could possibly know about?"

...

The crowd discussed fervently, their eyes full of reverence.

Some were even so excited that they began to cry.

They had thought they were certainly going to die today; they never expected that a divine soldier would descend from the heavens, and that their Star Domain actually possessed an Immortal Realm powerhouse!

Ancestor Shenxu slumped on the ground, gasping for breath.

His eyes were filled with the relief of surviving a disaster, but even more so, with shock.

He had lived for a million years and believed he already stood at the Peak of the Star Domain.

But at this moment.

In front of this Immortal Realm powerhouse, he felt as weak as an ant.

"This... just who is this person?"

He muttered to himself, trying hard to remember.

Suddenly.

A flash of inspiration crossed his mind.

He remembered...

Some time ago.

A golden figure had once appeared in the center of the Star Domain.

And it had even fought with the World-Destroying Beasts behind the Giant Black Gate!

He and several Peak Domain Realm Ancestors had all watched from a distance, but at that time, the other party was shrouded in the Power of Law, and they couldn't see the face clearly at all.

Now.

He saw it clearly.

It was the person right before his eyes!

"It's him... it's definitely him!"

Ancestor Shenxu's voice was trembling as he spoke.

"The person who manifested in the center of the Star Domain some time ago was him!"

At this point, there was no need for him to remind anyone.

The other Ancestors also snapped out of it one after another.

"Right! I remember too! It's that person!"

"Back then, we thought it was some secluded old monster; we didn't expect it to be an Immortal Realm Emperor!"

“Heavens, when did such a figure emerge in our Star Domain?”

They discussed amongst themselves, their eyes filled with reverence.

But they also knew.

Whether they recognized him or not was no longer important.

Because the gap in their strength was too large—so large that they didn't even have the qualification to try and build a connection with Wang Chen.

He was an Immortal Realm Emperor.

While they were merely Domain Realm ants.

If an ant knows a dragon, would the dragon spare the ant a second glance?

No!!

After obliterating all the World-Destroying Beasts, Wang Chen turned his gaze toward everyone present.

His gaze...

Though calm as water, carried an invisible majesty.

Anyone his gaze swept over couldn't help but shudder.

It was only then.

That the crowd finally reacted.

Immediately following that.

Everyone instantly knelt down in unison.

"We pay our respects to Your Majesty!"

The voices were uniform, echoing throughout the entire Star Domain.

Although they weren't clear on Wang Chen's identity, they knew he was an Emperor who cultivated the Imperial Dao through his self-address just now and the Imperial Destiny Power radiating from his body.

Therefore.

They very tactfully addressed Wang Chen as Your Majesty.

"Rise."

Wang Chen said indifferently.

His voice wasn't loud, yet it clearly reached everyone's ears.

Only then did the crowd stand up, but they still kept their heads bowed, not daring to look directly at the Imperial Countenance.

Their hearts...

Were filled with awe and gratitude.

Awe for Wang Chen's strength, and gratitude for his life-saving grace.

However.

Before they could recover from their shock, Wang Chen's voice rang out once more.

"Pass down My Decree."

"From this day forth, all worlds within this Star Domain shall be merged into My Tianxuan Dynasty!!"

As the words fell.

The entire field fell into a deathly silence once again.

Everyone was stunned.

They hadn't expected this Immortal Realm Emperor to actually want to unify the entire Star Domain.

For a time, some were joyful, some were worried, some remained silent, and some wanted to object.

"This... this..."

A Peak Domain Realm Ancestor opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But when he saw Wang Chen's indifferent eyes, he very tactfully chose to shut his mouth.

Because he knew.

Objection was useless!

In the face of absolute strength, any opposition was futile.

Ancestor Shenxu's reaction was particularly fast.

Before the others could react, he had already knelt on the ground to receive the Decree.

"Your subordinate Shenxu obeys the Decree!"

His voice...

Carried a hint of helplessness, but also a hint of relief.

The helplessness was because their Three Great Super Worlds had ruled this Star Domain for eons, and now they were to become someone else's vassals.

The relief was because, with such an Immortal Realm Emperor presiding over them, they finally had the capital to confront the World-Destroying Beasts.

Their people and their homes now had a chance to be preserved.

After seeing Ancestor Shenxu's reaction, everyone else also began to kneel and receive the Decree one after another.

Moreover.

Their movements were incredibly swift, as if they were afraid of falling behind others.

"We obey the Decree!"

"We obey the Decree!"

"We obey the Decree!"
