Imperial God Emperor

Now that situation had developed to this extent, it was too staggering and revealed many strange things.

Let alone the Imperial family, even an ordinary civilian family, if there was someone making a scene at their doorway, it would have alarmed their dog. But there were such battle formations above the Imperial Capital that even describing it as an earth-shaking power was not too exaggerating, yet the major forces of the Snow Empire had not made the slightest of movement in response this!

Ye Qingyu, watching the black demonic mist and clouds rolling across the sky like waves, his mood was worse than ever before. 

For things to have come to this, it was far beyond his initial estimate.

“That smelly monkey must have planned this, he urged me to attack, all to light a fire, now the fire is lit and is burning fiercely and beyond control. This smelly monkey that was playing with fire has been burned to death, what do I do now?” 

With the present situation, to tell the truth, Ye Qingyu did not feel calm at all.

Exceptional elders were appearing one after another, and Divine General Gong, Gu Duping, such high level existence had also appeared. The matters today were all too strange, who knew what kind of experts would make an appearance next?

The feeling that everything was out of control was not good.

Ye Qingyu had a strange intuition, as though the situation today was not entirely caused by himself. In fact, whether it was the Human Race, Demon Race or Brute Race or those surviving members of the era of sects who were trying to revive, and some of the dark forces that were hiding behind some of the major forces, they all have been preparing for today and have been waiting for today for too long of a time. 

In the sky, loud rumbling sounds were resounding unceasingly. 

There was nothing Ye Qingyu could do now but wait.

The only good news was that the power of the underground fire spring beneath the [Light Palace] was really endless, constantly springing up. Therefore, the [Flowing Silver LightFormation] that became vulnerable because of the various attacks from the experts was once again activated and was again invulnerable to attacks. For the time being, Ye Qingyu did not have to worry about this. 

Outside of the City of Light.

The Imperial Guards who had lost the four eagles and were without a leader at this time were in a very awkward state.

Without military orders, they could not retreat

But they also could not attack.  

If it was a normal battle, a first-level general of the army would have taken over the military affairs by this time. Even if the main general was killed, a command would have been orderly issued. After all, these were the elite Imperial Guards of the empire, but this time the military orders came from the Right Minister’s residence, and even until now there was not yet any new military orders from the Right Minister’s residence. The general that temporarily took over the military affairs also dared not order a retreat.

And for the terrifying battles in the skies, they were all fearful...

At this time, they could only pray that those people in the sky, who were like immortals, could control their own strength while they were fighting, or change to another a place to fight and do not let it spread to the ground. Otherwise, even if they assumed a defensive battle formation, the ten thousand Imperial Guards would still be completely wiped out.

In the face of these real experts, ordinary troops were as fragile as ashes, while the well-equipped Imperial Guards of outstanding strength, and the military formation with thousands of people also could not withstand their attacks.

……

……

“Didn’t expect Gao Duping to be a deaf person that sweeps the floor.”

In a hidden chamber.

Golden Crowned Prince Yu Feiyan had an astonished expression on his face.

“When that man disappeared back then, you should have paid more attention to his subordinates. Fortunately, all parties have gathered today. This Gao Duping, although he is a little difficult to handle, but he is not impossible to restrain...” 

From the flickering jade candle in the corner of the hidden chamber, a voice came again.  

“Divine messenger must not know that, when that War God disappeared, I had sent people over to the Five Great Divine Generals Gong, Shang, Jue, Zhi and Yu. These five people would not work for us, spoke conceited nonsense, humiliated me, and also insulted the other major forces of the Right Minister’s residence. It is said that even the people of the Snow Emperor have failed to subdue them, and angered all of them. Then I joined some people and made some preparations to get rid of these five people. Who knew that before the plan was implemented, these five people unexpectedly disappeared overnight. All these years, not only me, even the Right Minister’s residence have been investigating the whereabouts of these five people, but there hasn’t been any information, as if they really had vanished from the heaven and earth...” 

Yu Feiyan explained to the candle in the chamber in a respectful tone. 

Candlelight flickered, wax dripping down, but no matter how long it burned, the white wax that was only as tall as a finger was never shortened, as though it would burn forever.

Yu Feiyan then continued, “The people in the City of Light, I have sent people to investigate then. Ididn’t think that... I didn’t expect Gao Duping to become an old man... the strength of Divine General Gong is unfathomable, if he gets involved, today’s situation, I’m afraid...”

“No matter, the Heaven Wasteland Domain is only an inferior domain. What happened a century ago will not happen again. That person is not here, even if the Five Great Divine Generals gather together, they cannot change the situation today. When the passage of the domain opens and the experts of my sect descend with their true bodies, everything will vanish!” the white candlelight gleamed and said firmly.

A flicker of surprise crossed Yu Feiyan’s face, paused for a brief moment and attempted to say, “Haha.” 

The white candle flickered gently and said with a smiling tone, “Your Highness, the things I have promised you will certainly be achieved. My White Cloud Sect is a first class sect in the [Mountain Sea Domain]. We possess remarkable secret techniques to enhance your strength. We can help you win against matchless experts, and help you crush the Heaven Wasteland Domain. At that time, whether it’s the Brute Race, Demon Race or the Human Race, they would have to surrender to you. Your wish to become the first mighty emperor of the Heaven Wasteland Domain would be fulfilled, and my White Cloud Sect only need you to, according to the promise, every year make a sufficient contribution of resources.” 

Yu Feiyan hurriedly bowed, a wide smile across his handsome face. “Then thank you divine messenger... there’s another matter, I am worried about...” 

The white candle wax swayed, and the candlelight was glowing when it asked, “what is it?” 

“My current cultivation level, although it could be regarded as occupying a certain place in the Snow Empire, cannot suppress all people. Among the current Imperial family, there are a few people that I am no match for. Also, divine messenger, you said that not only divine elders would descend from the White Cloud Sect, but other large sects of [Mountain Sea Domain]. Others will take advantage of the power of the domain to come. Of course, I would not have to deal with these people, but if they attack me, I won’t have the power to protect myself if something happens... Moreover, if I want to control the Imperial family of the Snow Empire and rule over the other races, in addition to skill, I still need some real strength...”

Yu Feiyan said, stammering, and continued on in an extremely roundabout fashion.

When he finished his words, he sat quietly like the burning white candle. 

The white candle flashed and was silent for a while.

After a long while. 

“I understand what you mean,” The flames of the white candle quieted down, saying calmly, “Your worry is not unreasonable, but now the passage of the domain has not been completely opened up, my real body has not completely come and is just a projection. I cannot, like before, display my skills to let your strength leap beyond the HEaven Ascension  stage. At most, I could only make your strength grow to the peak of the Heaven Ascension stage.”  

“The peak of Heaven Ascension?” Within Yu Feiyan’s eyes, there was a strange colour flashing, then after a brief pause he continued, “That can perhaps be used to suppress some people, divine messenger please make the spell, sorry to trouble you.” 

The white candle hesitated for a moment, before it said, “If I do that, you need to remember your promise. If you break your promise, you must suffer the martial wrath of heaven, you should be very clear of the consequence.” 

“Rest assured divine messenger, I have made an oath with my martial arts origin. How would I break the promise,” Yu Feiyand said firmly. 

“Well, direct your qi, concentrate your mind, run the inner yuan, take my divine power.”

The candle flickered, a flame separating from the light of the white candle. 

This ball of fire was fluttering in the air for a while. Its light gradually solidified, turning into a milky white pill the size of a longan. Dense smoke curled up, like nine dragons were circling around. On the surface layer was mist flowing around, and there was no heat, no power or aura. 

Yu Feiyan’s face lit up, opening his mouth and swallowing the white pill. 

……

“The first Divine General of the Five Great Divine Generals has appeared, haha, good, good, good...” A gloomy and hoarse voice sounded from the black mist, its figure flashing like a dark light. A crystal ball was in his hands, displaying the battle scene in the vault of the sky. 

At his side, a red-veiled maiden said, “Master, that Gu Duping is so tyrannical. He most likely would maintain the [Light Palace], is that not a big disadvantage to us?” 

“Kekeke, is it that easy to protect this [Light Palace]...” The dark shadow was taking shape. “Let the Demon Race and Brute Race force out the final strength of the [Light Palace], wrap around the ashes and embers of the [Light Palace], then we really will have the opportunity!” 

……

In the Right Minister’s mansion.

In front of the flowerbed.

An old man in plain cotton clothing was watering the plants calmly.

In the sky, the demonic clouds were rolling across and claps of thunder could be heard, like the end of the world, but this old man seemed unaware. He was dressed in plain cotton clothing and cloth linen shoes, like an ordinary old man, carrying a wooden bucket in one hand and a ladle in the other, scooping water little by little.

The flower garden was not any rare or valuable flowers, nor spiritual grass. 

These three rows were the most common chrysanthemum.

Now was not the flowering season, but after the elder’s daily care, the branches and leaves of these three rows of chrysanthemum were plump and verdant. The flower bud was beginning to open up, and seemed in less than a few days would be in full bloom. 

An expert with a divine armour draped over his shoulder was standing a hundred meters away from the flowerbed. A restless look was on his face, but he dared not come disturb this old man who was fiddling with the flowers and plants. 

It was only after he watered the three rows of flowers that the old man slowly sighed, placed the bucket to one side, scooped a ladle of water, and drank a few mouthfuls, staining his grey beard with water droplets. 

“It’s not that I favour you the most, just that once you’ve bloomed, there’s no other flowers to follow!” 

The old man dropped the ladle into the water, smiled, looked up, and after feeling that the time was almost right, turned around and waved his hand. “Now is the time, go tell Master Qin and Master Yu, tell them to do it.”

The general that was impatiently waiting at one side, upon hearing this sentence, finally breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hand, accepted the order, and turned away.

The old man walked over to the verdant plump chrysanthemum leaves and let out a long sigh. 

“Success or failure hangs upon this single action.”
