272: A young man in purple and gold imperial robes who has emerged from the long river of time—a reward!

A figure dressed in a magnificent Purple-Gold Imperial Robe, embroidered with various exquisite and mysterious patterns, walked slowly out of the rolling River of Time.

Unlike the countless figures with blurred faces below the stairs.

As the figure fully emerged, it became clear that this was an extremely handsome young man.

Sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, a high bridge of the nose, and a slight upward curve of the lips revealing a confident and charming smile.

If time and space were not frozen, everyone who saw this young man would surely let out a shocked roar.

Alike! Too alike!

Lin Yan, who sat cross-legged with closed eyes on the emperors seat halfway up the stairs, and this young man were practically carved from the same mold!

Of course.

Most eye-catching was the incomparable noble temperament naturally radiating from this young man.

This temperament was not deliberately created, but came from experiencing countless years or conquests, standing above all living beings and controlling the world's winds and clouds.

At the moment the young man sat down on the purple-gold emperors seat.

Shouts that shook the universe came from the many kneeling blurred figures.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!!!"

Facing such a scene, the young man simply waved his hand slightly and, with a slight movement of his lips, spoke two words filled with majesty.

"Rise."

Hualala—!

The sound of people rising in unison rang out.

Da... da... da... The crisp sound of fingers lightly tapping the armrest of the emperors seat echoed from above.

The youth in the Purple-Gold Imperial Robe tilted his head slightly, looking at Lin Yan on the stairs to his lower left, who was completely unaware of everything happening, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Although it was a simple action and he didn't say anything.

But for the officials who watched his every move, it held extraordinary significance.

Especially those figures standing at the front of the officials.

Though their faces were unclear, their brows visibly twitched as they cast their gazes toward Lin Yan.

Only to hear a voice full of the overbearing coming from a burly man.

"Your Majesty."

"Since the Imperial Son has become an Emperor, he can be considered to have left the novice period."

"I believe a reward should be given."

As these words fell, it was as if a sluice gate had been opened.

"I second that!" A man, also burly but without the obvious the overbearing Aura, stepped forward.

"I also second that!" A voice full of vigor and carrying a burst of Fist Intent appeared.

"I also think it should be given!" A thin, child-like figure shouted.

Seeing the four of them, the youth in the Purple-Gold Imperial Robe at the head of the table smiled.

"You four are the most impatient."

Having said that, without waiting for the figures below who seemed to want to step forward one after another to speak, he turned his gaze to the empty right side.

"Grand Marshal."

"As the Grand Preceptor to the Crown Prince, won't you say something?"

As the voice fell, a middle-aged man with a weathered face wearing deep blue robes appeared.

"Your Majesty, since you already have a decision in your heart, why bother asking us?"

Hearing this.

The young man's expression froze, and he gave him a disgruntled look.

The shoulders of the officials below shook as they tried to suppress their laughter.

Finally, the young man spoke slowly.

"Since he has become an Emperor, keep the word 'Quasi'..."

The blue-robed man's voice came from beside him.

"Then Your Majesty should add the word 'Immortal'."

Being forced to stop, the young man was slightly speechless.

"It's because you've spoiled Lin Yi since he was a child that he's unwilling to accept the position of Crown Prince."

"What? Are you not allowing me to retire?"

As the voice fell, although the officials were trying hard to suppress their laughter, they immediately knelt and shouted.

"We wouldn't dare!"

A trace of helplessness flashed in the young man's eyes.

"Great Emperor, Law level six!"

"You masters, handle this and return immediately to do proper business."

"Gang-zi, you don't need to. Come with me!"

After speaking, he ignored everyone and turned to step directly into the River of Time.

With his departure, the purple-gold emperors seat and the long river also slowly disappeared.

Seeing this, the officials shouted once more.

"Respectfully seeing off Your Majesty!"

Then they disappeared from the palace one after another.

Soon.

Inside this dreamlike palace, the scene became empty in an instant, except for the four who had just stepped forward to speak and another man close to them.

And the atmosphere... turned cheerful.

"What His Majesty just said was, Great Emperor, Law level six..." A meaningful voice appeared.

The remaining four raised their eyebrows.

The thin child was the first to speak, "Old Man Lu! You mean His Majesty didn't say whether it's the Early Stage of the Great Emperor or the Pea..."

Before he could finish, the figure who had just spoken meaningfully appeared in front of him and covered his mouth.

"Yuanba! Do you want to die?"

Then he added a quite surprised sentence.

"When did you, you blockhead, become so smart?"

Seeing the two of them like this, the other three smiled, accustomed to it.

"Let's just make it the Early Stage of the Great Emperor."

"If we mess around, we can't escape His Majesty's perception."

As they spoke, their gazes swept over everyone from the Spirit and Yao Race who were frozen.

"Who's going?"

"You guys go. The Imperial Son summoned me once before." The man with flowing white hair answered first.

"Then let's just go together. Although they are just small bugs, since the Imperial Son has left the novice period, we no longer have the chance to possess the Imperial Son's body like Lord Jintai did."

"Fine!"

These were all battle-hardened, decisive generals, not to mention such a trivial matter that held no difficulty for them.

The moment the discussion ended, their eyes narrowed slightly, as if an invisible force erupted from the depths of their pupils.

In an instant, a series of deafening explosions were heard.

Bang... bang bang bang... Outside the entire Chixuan Pass, whether in the endless Land of Nothingness above or the deep and vast starry sky below, the sounds of bodies exploding rang out one after another.

From the high-status Gongshang Ling and Xuan Ping of the Spirit and Yao Race, down to every single King Rank Martial Artist inside the Warship, all of them turned into clumps of shocking blood mist in an instant.

They died without any awareness, without any resistance.

Then, the few of them waved their hands gently.

The blood mist filling the sky was drawn by a mysterious force, quickly gathering together, and in the blink of an eye, it formed a huge and dazzling light orb in front of them.

This light orb radiated heart-palpitatingly terrifying energy fluctuations, and the surrounding space seemed to tremble faintly because of its existence.

Under the exquisite control of these people, the huge light orb began to gradually shrink.

As time passed, the light orb became smaller and smaller, and the energy contained within it also became smaller and more pure.

Finally, when the light orb had shrunk to a certain extent, one of them spoke.

"That's enough, it's about time."

As the voice fell.

All five nodded slightly.

With a wave of their arms, the light orb, which had been compressed to an extremely small size, shot like a bolt of lightning into the body of Lin Yan, who still sat with his eyes tightly closed.

At this moment.

The originally calm Lin Yan suddenly furrowed his brows, and a muffled groan escaped his mouth involuntarily.

Immediately after, a deafening "Boom—" rang out.

The Aura that had just reached the Breakthrough to Quasi-Emperor and settled down suddenly became violent once again, and it climbed upward at an incredibly shocking speed!

Seeing this, the five nodded with satisfaction, and their figures slowly disappeared from the spot.

Along with them, the magnificent scene inside the palace also disappeared...
