Chapter 382 Give me the Imperial Seal, and I'll kill them all.

“Who is that?!!”

Above the imperial palace, the Ji Clan Chief Ji Mucheng and the Old Man of Tianshan were besieging the Prince of Zhenbei, beating him to the point of death within a short time.

Prince of Zhenbei Li Shuoting had only recently broken through to the Three Divine Vaults, and his cultivation was already far behind the two; being besieged by them, he was no match at all.

If not for the Nine Dragon Armor protecting his body, he would have already died under Ji Mucheng's sword.

At this moment, everyone in the great battle couldn't help but stop, staring from afar with shocked Faces at the person who had pushed the thick thunderclouds to the horizon with a single palm.

Not only them, but even Emperor Li Heming, the Sword Saint of the East Sea Xiahou Xi, and the others fighting high in the sky hurriedly stopped, filled with shock and doubt.

“It's the Blade Demon Yan Chu!!”

The human emperor sword in Xiahou Xi's hand buzzed and vibrated, its tip stained with blood—the blood drawn from a sword strike to Li Heming's chest.

Dressed in white as pure as snow with long hair draped over her shoulders, she looked like a graceful Fairy, her gaze fixed solemnly on the distance.

Divine Monk Kongxiang was bathed in golden light, his Face stiff like withered wood, but his expression was now shaken:

“It's that Devil Head? Isn't he in seclusion at the World Society? Why has he come to the Central Plains?”

Yan Chu had killed Abbot Fayuan of Nalanda Temple, Holy Monk Liaochen, and others. Those of the Buddhist sects detested him to the bone, but due to his overwhelming strength, they dared not react at all.

Suddenly seeing Yan Chu appear, it would be a lie to say they weren't terrified.

“Hahahaha!!!”

With the imperial seal of the realm above his head, Li Heming laughed wildly:

“Buddhist bald donkeys, Xiahou Xi, the Blade Demon Yan Chu is here. Wait for your deaths!”

Xiahou Xi looked at him coldly and sneered:

“Do you think the Blade Demon came to help you?”

Li Heming's smile faltered, then he sneered again:

“My daughter, Princess Yunshu, is Yan Chu's woman. If he doesn't help me, would he help you instead?”

In the past, with Li Heming's arrogance, he would never have said such a thing. But now, even he had to borrow Yan Chu's influence.

“amitabha!”

Divine Monk Kongxiang chanted a Buddhist name and spoke:

“The Blade Demon is trapped by the Heavenly Tribulation and cannot escape for the moment. Benefactor Xiahou, let us quickly execute the tyrant and seize the imperial seal of the realm!”

“Good!”

Both were decisive individuals and immediately struck with all their might, aiming to kill Li Heming before Yan Chu could return.

“Hmph! Arrogant!!”

Li Heming controlled the imperial seal of the realm. Under the seal's empowerment, nine golden dragons became incredibly terrifying, their mountain-like bodies winding as they pounced toward the two in the Yuantai Realm, their roars echoing for thousands of miles.

Just as the two sides began their fierce clash, the booming thunder high in the sky suddenly stopped.

“Not good! Run!!”

A look of shock appeared on Xiahou Xi's beautiful Face as she hurriedly withdrew from the fray.

Having witnessed Yan Chu's actions firsthand, she understood better than Divine Monk Kongxiang how terrifying this man was.

Kongxiang's brows furrowed deeply.

Yan Chu was limited by the Heavenly Tribulation; how could it be over so quickly?

Seeing Xiahou Xi transform into a streak of white light and sweep up the Ji Clan members below to flee, Kongxiang no longer hesitated, turning into golden light to follow closely.

At that moment, a grand Aura descended, and everything within a radius of hundreds of miles suddenly became like a swamp, making everyone unable to move.

“Oh no!”

The divine sword in Xiahou Xi's hand emitted a world-shaking light, and a dazzling sword beam slashed out, attempting to carve a path forward.

Clang!!

However, this strike failed to cut through the Aura; instead, it struck a hundred-zhang-tall giant cauldron, producing a crisp, vibrating ring.

Three great cauldrons descended from the sky, landing in mid-air in three directions, spaced over a hundred miles apart. The cauldrons' Qi connected, directly turning these hundreds of miles into a cage.

Even the three Yuantai Realm experts could not break free, let alone the others.

Everyone was both shocked and furious, suddenly finding themselves unable to move, with only their thoughts still functioning.

Yan Chu did not appear, but his voice echoed throughout the area, ringing in everyone's ears:

“Give me the imperial seal of the realm, and I will help you kill them all!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire field was shocked.

“No!!!”

“Great Hero Yan, my Ji Clan has no grievance with you. Please, show mercy!!”

Ji Mucheng, the Clan Chief of the Hidden Dragon Clan, already knew who had arrived and hurriedly pleaded for mercy loudly:

“My Ji Clan has been dormant overseas for thousands of years and possesses countless treasures and collections. We are willing to offer them all to Great Hero Yan, just please do not strike us!”

Although he hadn't seen Yan Chu in person, he had heard from Xiahou Xi and deeply understood how powerful Yan Chu was. Had he known Yan Chu would come tonight, he never would have moved against the Li Imperial Clan.

But after the words were spoken, Yan Chu did not respond at all.

On the other side, Li Heming's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected Yan Chu to also come for the imperial seal of the realm. Did he also intend to become Emperor?

“My patience is limited. Decide quickly!”

“If it weren't for Yunshu's Face, you wouldn't even have the right to trade with me!”

Seeing Li Heming's struggling expression, looking unwilling to hand over the seal, Yan Chu snorted coldly and spoke again.

He himself had no good feelings toward Li Heming.

If it weren't for his daughter becoming his woman, Yan Chu wouldn't have even bothered to speak to him; he would have just taken it by force.

Li Heming's whole body trembled, a pained look appearing on his Face as he gritted his teeth and said:

“Fine! I will give the seal to you. You help me kill all these rebels!”

The imperial seal of the realm had been held by the Li Imperial Clan for a thousand years. Handing it over was truly difficult to accept, but sensing Yan Chu's unquestionable tone, no matter how unwilling Li Heming was, he dared not oppose him.

He immediately performed a technique to sever his connection with the imperial seal of the realm, and the seal instantly shrank from a hundred zhang back to its original form.

A square white jade seal about a foot in size.

A hazy luster emanated from it. At the same moment the connection with Li Heming was severed, the seal underwent a marvelous transformation, beginning to connect directly with heaven and earth. Waves of invisible and intangible heaven and earth Luck swarmed in, merging into the seal.

The carvings of birds, flowers, fish, insects, mountains, and rivers on the seal seemed to come to life, flowing on their own.

By mandate of heaven, long life and eternal prosperity!

As expected of the imperial seal of the realm, even Yan Chu's Aura suppression could not stop this transformation.

A large hand reached out from the Void Realm, grabbing toward the imperial seal of the realm.

Boom!

At this moment, the imperial seal of the realm suddenly began to struggle. A powerful spirituality revived within the seal, and it transformed from its foot-long size into a height of thousands of zhang, like a massive mountain, resisting being held in Yan Chu's hand.

The seal carried the Luck of the Imperial Dynasty and would only choose the one it deemed the co-lord of the world.

“Hmph!”

Yan Chu snorted coldly, and the force in his palm suddenly increased. A terrifying power suppressed the Void Realm, and no matter how the imperial seal of the realm struggled, it could not break free.

Under this power, the birds and beasts that had leaped from the seal all transformed back into wisps of Luck and returned to the seal, which shrank from its mountain-like size back to its original form.

However, the surface of the seal became dim and lusterless, no longer flashing with spiritual light as it had just before.

“Is this a refusal to acknowledge me?”

The corner of Yan Chu's mouth twitched slightly as he put the seal away.
