73: If you can't win, hide your hatred. If you can't hide it well, you can deal with it in the next life.
As Jiang Zhan's voice fell,
the four towering Emperor Shadows standing in the Void Realm finally moved.
There was no earth-shattering Divine Ability,
nor was there world-destroying Law.
They simply raised their hands slowly, almost casually, and pressed gently toward the dark world shrouded in Death Qi.
With one palm press, heaven and earth fell silent.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Four gigantic hands, obscuring the sky and sun, each representing four distinct supreme Emperor Dao, converged and fused in the Void Realm, transforming into an indescribable Chaos Millstone that simply crushed down without fanfare.
Even though only the Sixth Ancestor among them had fully awakened,
the might of four Great Emperors was definitely not something a mere Sea of Death could withstand!
Crack... crackle... The Undying Domain, which Ancient Emperor Ming Hai was proud of and claimed could devour all Laws, was like paper under the Chaos Millstone.
The crisp sound of shattering echoed throughout the Void Realm.
The black sky curtain, refined from the entire Forbidden Zone, instantly became covered in spiderweb-like cracks,
and then, under Ancient Emperor Ming Hai's despairing gaze, it violently shattered!
"Pfft!"
With his Dao Domain broken, Ancient Emperor Ming Hai was struck as if by lightning, flying backward instantly.
Dark emperor blood splattered across the sky, and his aura rapidly withered at a visible speed.
The Jiang Family's Emperor Realm Old Ancestors were truly too strong!
So strong that he couldn't even muster a single thought of resistance!
"This is the foundation of my Jiang Family!"
Aboard the world-breaking divine ark, Jiang Hao watched the crushing scene, clenching his fists excitedly, feeling a rush of hot blood to his head.
Jiang Yi, Jiang Chen, and the others beside him were equally filled with fervor and pride.
This was their Family!
If they disagreed, they could easily flatten a Life Forbidden Zone!
"All forces..."
Murderous intent flashed in Jiang Zhan's eyes. He was about to issue the command for a full assault, intending to completely wipe the Undying Sea from existence.
However, right at this moment,
ripples suddenly appeared in the distant Void Realm.
Several equally boundless Emperors Might arrived, crossing endless space and descending upon this location.
Immediately afterward, space was torn apart, and figures covered entirely in golden Dragon scales, radiating unparalleled dominance, arrived alongside several eerie figures wrapped in endless Death Qi and tomb soil aura.
They were the powerhouses from the Primordial Demon Cave, the Burial Heaven Tomb, and the Myriad Dragon Nest!
Behind them followed a group of Forbidden Zone powerhouses, all wearing strange smiles as they looked at the Undying Sea, which was about to be destroyed.
"Oh dear, Jiang Family Dao Brother, why be so angry? To personally destroy a Forbidden Zone over some minor matters—how can we trouble you with such rough work?"
Myriad Demon Emperor of the Myriad Dragon Nest wore a false smile, his voice booming like a great bell, spreading in all directions.
As the strongest representative of the Forbidden Zones present today, it was naturally his place to speak.
And the moment he fully exposed his aura,
the [prodigy physique ranking], which no one was paying attention to right now, flickered slightly again.
[27th Place: Myriad Demon Sovereign Physique, Myriad Demon Emperor! Affiliated Faction: Myriad Races, Life Forbidden Zone, Myriad Dragon Nest!]
This pushed out the Emperor Fentian of the Nirvana Sea Life Forbidden Zone, who was originally ranked twenty-seventh.
"Indeed, we are neighbors with the Undying Sea and have been harassed by him often.
Since the Jiang Family is acting on behalf of Heaven to deliver punishment today, how can we stand idly by?
Why don't we take over and pacify this place for the Jiang Family? It would also serve as a small gift for the Jiang Family Imperial Son's Dao Discussion Assembly."
The Quasi-Emperor Funeral Earth Nether Venerable of the Burial Heaven Tomb spoke in a cold, hoarse voice.
As he spoke, his murky eyes, hidden within the Death Qi, stared fixedly at the Forbidden Zone Origin exposed after the Undying Sea's Dao Domain was broken, his greed unconcealed.
If he could obtain it,
perhaps he could achieve the Great Emperor rank.
Of course, there were definitely risks.
Who knew if the Jiang Family would suddenly go mad and attack them?
But the Nether Venerable Quasi-Emperor was very confident.
The three great Forbidden Zones were here,
and they weren't trash like the Sea of Death;
they were ranked among the Life Forbidden Zones.
He didn't believe the Jiang Family would dare to defy the world's condemnation and strike at them!
The Forbidden Zone powerhouses following behind them were all rubbing their hands,
looking at the Undying Sea like hungry wolves spotting a plump lamb.
Aboard the world-breaking divine ark,
the faces of the Jiang Family Elders instantly darkened.
"Shameless!"
The Second Elder, Jiang Shouchen, whose temper was explosive, was about to make a move.
Jiang Zhan raised his hand to stop him, his expression icy as he looked at the group, his eyes filled with indifference.
He showed no fear whatsoever.
So what if they were Ancient Emperors?
The Jiang Family hadn't refrained from killing them today!
At this moment,
the First Ancestor, who led the four majestic Emperor Shadows of the Jiang Family, slowly turned toward Myriad Demon Emperor and the others.
A pressure a hundred times more terrifying than when they crushed the Undying Domain instantly enveloped the Star Domain!
The smiles on the faces of Myriad Demon Emperor and the others instantly froze.
"When did outsiders get a turn to interfere in the private affairs of my Jiang Family?"
The First Ancestor's voice was flat, revealing no emotion, yet carrying an undeniable dominance.
"This..."
Myriad Demon Emperor explained, "Dao Brother Qi, you misunderstand, we only wanted to..."
"The Undying Sea offended my Family's Imperial Son and deserves destruction."
The First Ancestor didn't give him a chance to explain, interrupting him directly. His voice remained flat,
yet it caused all living beings present to feel a chill originating from the depths of their Souls.
"This battle is the congratulatory gift my Jiang Family offers for Imperial Son Jiang Yuan's Dao Discussion Assembly."
"My Jiang Family will take this gift ourselves; outsiders need not worry."
As his voice fell, the terrifying pressure instantly surged!
Myriad Demon Emperor's expression slightly changed.
His gaze swept over the other three Emperors,
before finally settling on the Jiang Family's Sixth Ancestor, the Great Emperor who had killed an Ancient Emperor.
The meaning behind the opponent's actions was crystal clear.
Scram!
Don't get in the way here!
The entire Undying Sea is a gift from my Jiang Family to my grandson; are you worthy of touching it?
Myriad Demon Emperor, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, and Nether Earth, the Quasi-Emperor representing the Burial Heaven Tomb, turned red and then pale, feeling a burning pain in their faces.
When had they ever suffered such humiliation?
But looking at the four Jiang Family Great Emperors whose auras were deep as prisons, and the golden Imperial Decree still pinned above the Undying Sea, radiating supreme Divine Might... all their rage could only be forcibly swallowed back down.
Myriad Demon Emperor nodded, his face acting as if nothing had happened. Instead, he cupped his hands toward the Jiang Family First Ancestor.
"...It was our abruptness."
"In a few days, my Myriad Dragon Nest will send someone to deliver a congratulatory gift for Imperial Son Jiang's Wedding. Farewell."
Saying this, Myriad Demon Emperor led the Myriad Dragon Nest Quasi-Emperor to tear through the Void Realm and leave the Sea of Death.
The Primordial Demon Cave followed closely,
having said nothing the entire time, as if they had only come for a tour.
Finally, only the Nether Earth Quasi-Emperor remained.
He watched the two great Forbidden Zones shamefully retreat because of a single sentence from the Jiang Family, cursing inwardly.
"Useless trash! Does the Jiang Family dare to strike at us? It's just bluster, and you let yourselves be scared away, you wastes!"
He looked at the heavenly heart imprint, which held the potential to achieve the Emperor rank, his heart bleeding.
But he knew the tide had turned.
"And you, from the Burial Heaven Tomb, why are you still standing there? Do you want my Jiang Family to send you off?"
The Nether Earth Quasi-Emperor immediately felt humiliated, his eyes filled with resentment. He, a dignified Quasi-Emperor, had initiated several Dark Turmoils before the Jiang Family emerged,
slaughtering Human Race Prodigies like dogs, yet today he was being threatened by a Human Race member,
and missed out on an Emperor Opportunity!
He glared fiercely at the Jiang Family, then turned to leave.
Suddenly,
a gentle breeze brushed his face.
Before the Nether Earth Quasi-Emperor could react, he felt a terrifying pressure bearing down on him.
The next second, his Quasi-Emperor body was crushed to its knees, almost collapsing!
"I don't like your eyes. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can speak up. My Jiang Family isn't unreasonable."
The speaker was the Jiang Family Third Emperor.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare!"
Only at this moment did the Nether Earth Quasi-Emperor truly feel the fear of death.
If he had actually spoken his mind,
the Jiang Family probably really would have dared to kill him!
"I was wrong, I was wrong, please..."
The Third Ancestor of the Jiang Family sighed.
"I really don't understand. If you clearly can't defeat someone, yet you refuse to let go of the resentment in your heart, aren't you forcing someone... to kill you?"
The Nether Earth Quasi-Emperor froze.
His consciousness began to dissipate along with his thoughts.
Wha—what happened... Ah, so I died.
*Thud!*
A Quasi-Emperor from the Burial Heaven Tomb died silently right at the entrance of the Sea of Death.
RUMBLE!!
In the Extreme Southern Land,
the Burial Heaven Tomb showed faint signs of resurgence.
However,
above the All Heavens and Myriad Realms,
a pair of golden pupils looked over,
and the Burial Heaven Tomb instantly fell silent, as if saying.
"I was just stretching my limbs, please don't mind me."
Even a power as formidable as the Burial Heaven Tomb had one of its Quasi-Emperors publicly killed merely for giving the Jiang Family a hostile look,
yet in the end, it didn't dare to utter a single extra word, pretending nothing had happened.
Seeing this scene, all the warriors in the Jiang Family fleet straightened their chests even higher.
This was the Jiang Family!
This was the dominance of the foremost Imperial Family of the current era!
So what if it was a Life Forbidden Zone?
So what if it was an Ancient Emperor?
In front of my Jiang Family, if you are a Dragon, you must coil; if you are a Tiger, you must crouch!
"Idiot."
"Moron."
Myriad Demon Emperor and the Primordial Demon Cave Quasi-Emperor, who had just left, thought this inwardly.
They didn't think the Jiang Family had done anything wrong.
A weakling provoking a strong opponent,
and not even knowing how to hide his inner thoughts,
if you don't die, who will?
They truly wondered how that Nether Earth Quasi-Emperor had managed to live this long.
"Hmph, a bunch of idiots who don't know their place."
Jiang Zhan scoffed disdainfully, raising the Dragon-patterned Battle Spear in his hand again and pointing it forward.
"All forces, attack!"
"Show no mercy!"
"A toast to the Imperial Son!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Amidst the earth-shaking battle cries, tens of thousands of Divine Gold War Vessels swarmed into the shattered dark world like a plague of locusts!
