39: The destiny of the Human Emperor, His Majesty the Ninth Prince of the Great Chu Dynasty!

The Land of Finality, the boundless Celestial Abyss!

A pitch-black crack, resembling ink, stretched across it, seemingly capable of devouring everything.

Within it lurked a mysterious existence that could not be glimpsed or grasped, constantly emitting an eerie aura that was suffocating.

And right before this eerie crack, an incredibly majestic figure sat quietly.

With every breath he took, terrifying power capable of destroying the entire universe lay hidden.

"Rumble... Rumble!"

Just then, an earth-shshattering roar suddenly came from the depths of the crack.

Following it, strands of mysterious power, unimaginably and indescribably potent, surged forth like a tide.

"Dare to cross the boundary by a hair's breadth, and you shall die!"

The majestic figure slowly spoke, his voice filled with supreme and domineering authority.

Upon hearing these words, the existence on the other side of the crack immediately fell into a rage.

"Xuan Ming Immortal Emperor, how long do you intend to suppress us before you stop?

For tens of thousands of years, whenever an Immortal Emperor of our race dared to trespass this crack, you would effortlessly strike him down with a single finger.

Since you possess such immense power, why don't you simply flatten our Foreign Domain Forbidden Zone?

Instead, you keep us like caged beasts, suppressed here for generations!"

"You beings of the Foreign Domain Forbidden Zone naturally have your own mission. When he sets foot here in the future, he will make the judgment regarding your life and death!"

This calmly speaking majestic figure was none other than the Xuan Ming Immortal Emperor, who had shaken all the heavens.

The existence on the other side of the crack seemed unwilling to accept the Xuan Ming Immortal Emperor's words.

He then continued to roar, "Xuan Ming Immortal Emperor, who exactly is this 'he' you speak of?"

The Xuan Ming Immortal Emperor remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, "He is the greatest variable in all the heavens, an existence destined to stand at the apex of all the myriad realms. As for who he is, you will know when the time comes."

After speaking, the Xuan Ming Immortal Emperor closed his eyes once more.

Like a towering pillar supporting the heavens, he stood unmoving, guarding the crack.

His powerful aura made the strong individuals of the Foreign Domain Forbidden Zone on the other side of the crack dare not make any further moves.

And the eerie aura within the crack also seemed to temporarily lie dormant under this majesty.

For a time, the boundless abyss once again returned to a deathly silence.

Only the Xuan Ming Immortal Emperor's seemingly eternal figure still sat quietly there!

...Spiritual Martial Continent, Great Chu Dynasty, outside Jade Gate Pass!

A handsome young man with sword-like brows and starry eyes rode a Blazing Flame Mad Lion to this place.

Accompanying him were several figures with formidable auras, emanating a strong killing intent.

At a glance, they were clearly seasoned generals who had fought countless battles!

Behind them, hundreds of thousands of soldiers followed, currently marching grandly towards the Great Xia Imperial Capital.

"Exiled to the far north for ten years, Great Chu Dynasty, I, Chu Lingyun, have returned!"

The young man looked in the direction of the Great Chu Imperial Capital, a hint of recollection flashing in his eyes.

Ten years ago, he transmigrated and became the Ninth Prince of the Great Chu Dynasty!

However, because his cultivation talent was too outstanding, it threatened the Crown Prince's position.

He was then framed by the Crown Prince and Empress's faction, accused of treason, and had all his cultivation crippled by the Great Chu Emperor's palm in the Golden Throne Hall.

The Great Chu Emperor, out of consideration for their family bloodline, exiled him to the far north to atone for his sins.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Chu Lingyun awakened a system, which allowed him to survive in the far north.

He then used the system's help to recover his cultivation.

He began to develop his own power, guard the far north, and resist foreign invasions.

Now, the Great Chu Emperor, acknowledging his illustrious military achievements, personally issued an imperial edict summoning him back to the capital for commendation.

And this time, Chu Lingyun's return was surely to make all those who framed him ten years ago pay the price!

After a moment of emotion, Chu Lingyun spoke in a deep voice to the several fierce generals behind him, "Have the army quickly catch up, and strive to return to the Great Chu Imperial Capital within a day!"

"Yes, My Lord!" A burly man holding a Fangtian Huaji immediately said to the soldiers behind him, "Speed up the march, and strive to reach the Imperial Capital today!"

As he spoke, the army's speed increased significantly, and they then galloped towards the Imperial Capital with an invincible momentum.

At the same time, above the Spiritual Martial Continent.

With a spatial rift blooming, the figures of Xuan Tianchen and Elder Yan appeared here.

As he gazed at the vast Human Emperor's Fortune that filled the entire continent, an expression of anticipation immediately appeared on his face.

"Interesting, interesting, this is actually the Human Emperor's Fortune!"

As he spoke, Xuan Tianchen's powerful divine sense had already locked onto the source of this fortune.

And that place was precisely where the Great Chu Dynasty stood!

"Future Human Emperor, are you ready to tremble?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figures of Xuan Tianchen and Elder Yan suddenly flickered, instantly disappearing from this space... In just a breath, they had already entered the territory of the Great Chu Dynasty.

Xuan Tianchen sensed that the Child of Destiny's aura was currently rushing towards the entire Imperial City, so he only needed to wait here.

Thinking of this, Xuan Tianchen, accompanied by Elder Yan, leisurely walked along the bustling streets.

"It seems this is a continent of imperial dynasties. Looking at these buildings, there's a strong sense of Hengdian World Studios!"

Xuan Tianchen looked at the scene before him and couldn't help but blurt out.

At the same time, his appearance instantly caused a stir of surprise among the women in the crowd.

"Whose young master is this? He's so handsome!"

"Yes, just one look at him, and I feel like I'm gone!"

"I really want to become his Dao companion and give him everything!"

...Seeing this, Xuan Tianchen smiled slightly, then glanced at those infatuated women.

In that instant, those women's eyes became vacant, and they immediately collapsed to the ground.

Although their bodies showed no abnormalities, their souls had already been instantly obliterated by Xuan Tianchen's gaze.

Only their lustful beautiful eyes remained wide open in death, still reflecting Xuan Tianchen's gradually receding figure.

After the brief interlude, Xuan Tianchen and Elder Yan arrived at a tavern.

He looked down at the entire street, toying with the teacup in his hand, quietly awaiting the arrival of the Child of Destiny... A quarter of an hour later, Xuan Tianchen suddenly put down his teacup, and a cold light bloomed in his eyes: "He's finally here!"

It was at this moment that a soldier riding a war beast suddenly galloped from outside the Imperial Capital.

"The Ninth Prince is returning to the capital, all idlers quickly make way! The Ninth Prince is returning to the capital, all idlers quickly make way...!"

The soldier held an imperial edict high in his hand, and as he shouted loudly, no one dared not to make way for him!

In just a moment, his voice echoed throughout the entire Great Chu Imperial Capital.

Like a stone stirring up a thousand ripples, it instantly caused everyone to discuss animatedly.

"What, the Ninth Prince is returning to the capital! Did I hear that right?"

"You didn't hear wrong, he indeed said the Ninth Prince is returning to the capital!"

"Alas, our Ninth Prince was assigned to the far north for ten years, it is indeed time for him to return!"

"In these ten years, the Ninth Prince guarded the far north, slaying foreign tribes until they no longer dared to invade the borders of our Great Chu Dynasty. Even if he made mistakes in the past, he has atoned for them through his achievements!"

"Indeed, indeed, His Majesty must have summoned the Ninth Prince back to the capital this time to bestow rewards upon him!"

"It's just that with the Ninth Prince's return, some people in the palace are probably going to be restless!"

"You're right, it truly feels like a storm is brewing!"

...Xuan Tianchen listened to the whispers in the crowd, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl into a slight smile: "The Ninth Prince? This person must be the Child of Destiny!"

An imperial prince, exiled to the frontier for ten years, now making a powerful return!

This clearly looked like a drama of imperial princes vying for the throne.

"Since that's the case, This Imperial Son shall add some fun to this play."

A wicked smile crossed Xuan Tianchen's lips, and a meaningful glint appeared in his blood-red eyes!
