"I, or rather, the Asura Devil Sovereign of Dao Shen Palace... the one you issued a warrant to hunt down!"

Terrifying black demonic flames engulfed the heavens and the earth, raging around Chen Yuan, infinitely elevating his aura!

If you're going to put on a show, go big.

If you're going to play, play to the fullest.

Indeed, Chen Yuan had another identity: the Qilin Devil True Lord of Dao Shen Palace, but that only placed him twelfth on the Supreme Heaven Rankings, though that was already considered among the most powerful in the world.

But...

Could that compare to those in the top five of the Heaven Rankings?

Since he was going to reveal himself today anyway, there was no need to hide anymore; he would just blurt out his identity directly.

See?

Weren't all the people present shocked beyond words?

Correct.

Shock!

Awe!

This was the thought in everyone's mind.

Chen Yuan stepping forward wasn't unexpected by some, and it was normal for him to scold Jingtai, but his identity... everything before this was normal.

Only this Asura Devil Sovereign... stunned everyone.

Who was the Asura Devil Sovereign?

He was the figure who rose to fame in a single battle during the Imperial Clan's ancestral rites last year, slaying a True Lord of the Sima Imperial Clan, forcing back several True Lords, and then retreating unscathed.

Yes, retreating unscathed.

Even Dongfang Sheng, the always self-important Hall Master of the Heavenly Demon Hall, was unwilling and dared not enter the capital, Shenjing, but he wreaked havoc there, making Dao Shen Palace famous in the human world for the first time.

He shocked the world in a single battle!

He was directly ranked fourth on the Heaven Rankings by Dengxian Tower.

Truly terrifying!

Over the past year, the imperial court had issued many decrees to hunt down Dao Shen Palace and the Asura Devil Sovereign, and all the forces in the world were investigating the details of Dao Shen Palace and the Asura Devil Sovereign.

But no one had found any trace of him.

And today,

In full view of the public,

Under the gaze of all,

The Asura Devil Sovereign revealed his true self.

He was the former Marquis of Wu'an of the previous dynasty, the Governor-General of the South, the Heavenly Envoy of the Heaven Division of the Patrol Office... Chen Yuan!

!

Everyone's eyes were filled with shock.

Gu Tianqiong's face showed horror, and his fists clenched tightly.

He very much wanted to诛kill Chen Yuan, this rebellious traitor, and also wanted to destroy the so-called Dao Shen Palace, but... but... but he had never imagined that this man's identity would actually be Chen Yuan!

A constable from a commoner background.

The Marquis of Wu'an who shook the world in just a few years.

At that time... he seemed to be only in the Solid Core Realm, just a small Imperial City commander, just a minor character who had just entered the court's sights because of being first on the Hidden Dragon List.

So... it was all fake.

No wonder the imperial court had been investigating Dao Shen Palace without success; no wonder the imperial court was hunting down the Asura True Lord, who had disappeared without a trace after the Imperial City battle.

It turned out that he... had been hiding in the capital all along!

!

Li Kuangxiu's mouth opened slightly, his face showing shock.

He didn't know what to say, he really didn't know how to say it.

How could Chen Yuan be the Asura Devil Sovereign?

How could he possibly be the Asura Devil Sovereign!

No wonder, no wonder...

He remembered a few months ago when His Majesty the Emperor secretly fueled the flames, wanting to take Chen Yuan as his son-in-law, but he refused, directly confronting the Emperor in court.

And Li Hongshuang begged him to say a few words for Chen Yuan.

Hoping to help him get through this difficulty.

He agreed.

As a result, when he saw Chen Yuan, he didn't find a trace of panic on Chen Yuan's face; at the time, he even thought he was calm and composed.

He had an aura of facing Mount Tai collapsing in front of him without changing expression.

Now it seemed that he was confident in his own strength.

Even if something really happened in court, he had enough confidence to leave proudly!

!

The minor recluse hides in the forest, the middling recluse hides in the city, and the great recluse hides in the court!

This Chen Yuan, while concealing himself, possessed incredibly terrifying power, rising to fame in the martial world step by step, and rising to fame in the court step by step.

Now, he was famous throughout the world!

His power was vast, he held sway over Shu Province, and his own strength had reached the point where few under immortals could match him.

He was... terrifying!

Originally, Princess Pingyang didn't care, and just watched the situation unfold, but her expression of detached observation also changed at this moment; she hadn't expected that Chen Yuan would actually be the Asura Devil Sovereign.

No wonder he was unwilling to become a son-in-law; no wonder he looked down on her.

Perhaps, in his eyes, she, a descendant of the Sima clan, should die!

The reactions of the several princes varied.

Sima Qian and Sima You exchanged glances, their hearts trembling, recalling the scenes of drinking and revelry together; it turned out... that from that time on... he could easily end their lives.

As for Sima Ke, a thought flashed through his mind for some unknown reason.

His adopted father was actually so strong?

Consort Yang's delicate body trembled, her whole body subtly quivering; she hadn't expected that this former Daoist friend would actually... actually... have harbored such malicious intentions long ago!

!

He approached them, mother and son, completely treating them as pawns.

After the chaos in the Imperial City, she had some doubts.

Because before the ancestral rites, Chen Yuan had asked her for a pass to enter and exit the harem.

Now it seemed, now it seemed...

The commotion in the harem was caused by him!

Zhang Yantong and the other Heavenly Envoys of the Patrol Office had a confused look on their faces.

How,

How,

How could this be?

Jiang He was calm and composed.

Lingxu Daoist, the Sect Master of Mount Shu, had a deep look in his eyes; he also thought of the time when he was on Mount Shu and had hoped that the Asura Devil Sovereign would come forward to help Mount Shu.

But Chen Yuan had refused, claiming that the Asura Devil Sovereign was in closed-door cultivation.

What closed-door cultivation?

It was clearly intentional on his part!

The ever-self-proclaimed all-knowing Tianxu Daoist suddenly let out a long breath and asked in a low voice:

"Fellow Daoist Lingxu, what reward did Chen Yuan promise you for the future?"

"That my Mount Shu would become the state religion."

"Heh, what a coincidence; the Taixu Palace is the same."

Lingxu: "..."

Tianxu: "..."

"It seems that his ambition is very great!"

Daoist Lingxu sighed. Although he was a little unhappy, now was not the time to dwell on these things; they were already on this boat.

They could only hope that the treatment would be even better in the future.

Because a strongman ranked fourth on the Heaven Rankings, who also possessed immense prestige, was undoubtedly very likely to be able to secure the world in the future.

All the martial artists present were silent, but their hearts were like stormy seas.

Marquis of Wu'an Chen Yuan was him,

Heavenly Envoy of the Patrol Office was him,

The one who gave up his official position was him,

The one who gained fame was him,

Damn it, that Asura Devil Sovereign who suppressed the world was also him!

Dongfang Sheng's eyes flashed with a hint of solemnity, the Divine Maiden Palace Mistress Feng Jiuge showed a hint of contemplation, and the Ancient Family Ancestor was terrified.

He had always wanted to kill Chen Yuan, but because his official position was getting higher and higher, and because the world was on the verge of chaos today, the Ancient Family wanted to get a piece of the pie, so they had never taken action.

What would be the result if they took action?

The Ancient Family would be exterminated!

He would die without a complete corpse!

Ye Xiangnan, the City Lord of Martial Emperor City, had a deeper look in his eyes for the first time.

His master had said that this person could not be killed; killing him would create enmity, and if the enmity did not lead to death, Martial Emperor City might be destroyed. He didn't believe it before, just thinking it was his master's nonsense.

Now, he believed it!

Others might think that Chen Yuan was inherently strong, but he was just suppressing himself, which could explain why his cultivation could improve as easily as eating and drinking.

But he wouldn't.

Because the master of Martial Emperor City would secretly observe whenever the Immortal Ascension War started, and with his vision, it was impossible for him not to see Chen Yuan's concealment.

In other words, he had really improved step by step to his current level in just a few years.

At that time, the Immortal Ascension War seemed to have only passed recently.

There might be other secrets in this, but it could not be denied that Chen Yuan's talent was unparalleled in history!

He was definitely qualified to be compared with the Martial God, Chu Taizu, who was once invincible in the human world.

While everyone else showed shock and their hearts churned, among the hundreds of thousands of Imperial Guards, there was a black-armored soldier who was also the same; he was Xiang Qianqiu!

At this moment, his face was extremely gloomy!

He prided himself on predicting everything; no matter who it was, they were all within his chessboard, and his son was even more so, unable to escape his grasp. He was prepared to completely settle the grievances between them after the great battle today.

But he had miscalculated.

Xiang Qianqiu was thinking at this moment whether his own self-satisfied plans, everything he thought he knew, had actually been exposed to Chen Yuan long ago.

Did he think of him as a fool when he looked at him?

Miscalculated!

!

Compared to everyone else, Jingtai's shock was the greatest. He didn't care about Chen Yuan; no matter whether his cultivation talent was unparalleled in history or he was praised as an existence that suppressed an era.

With his strength, he would never be able to get on the stage.

It was only when he had exposed his true self just now that he was somewhat infuriated, but he was still able to maintain a line of clarity and asked who his true identity was.

As a result, a casual question led to earth-shattering news.

The Asura Devil Sovereign!

The one who had made him feel fear with just a glance when he wreaked havoc in the capital was actually... Chen Yuan, whom he could control.

He was in the open, watching all his methods.

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

!

He thought of many things, many, many things.

Perhaps, in his opinion, when he didn't send a large army to Liang Province in the beginning, it was definitely a brilliant move for him; he used this to shake the Central Plains.

He did not back down in the capital and was enfeoffed in the south.

Taking advantage of the imperial court's backing, he integrated Shu Province in just a few months.

He had known long ago that he was the Unborn Ancestor, but he had kept it hidden, waiting until this moment, under the gaze of all, to completely nail him down with a single move.

What a calculation!

Chen Yuan hadn't expected that his revelation of this identity would actually cause so many people present to conjure up so many mental images; it was really... interesting.

Terrifying demonic flames obscured the sky, and Chen Yuan's aura also rose steadily.

Mora had not possessed him, so he was not the complete Asura Devil Sovereign, but in fact, his own strength had already reached the level of the top ten on the Heaven Rankings, so he did not let him fail to pull this off.

Everyone would only be shocked by the height of his identity and the depth of his planning.

"Rebellious traitor!"

Jingtai's eyes were still bloodshot, and his killing intent was getting deeper and deeper.

"朕I valued you so much, entrusting you with heavy responsibilities, giving you fame and prestige, but you infiltrated the court, harbored evil intentions, and even poured the dirty water of the Unborn Church on 朕's head.

Just for your own selfish interests, truly... damn you!"

"Selfish interests?" Chen Yuan smiled again, looking directly at Jingtai and saying word by word:

"The words I haven't finished yet: I am the Asura Devil Sovereign of Dao Shen Palace, and also, the direct descendant of the Chen clan of the former Chu dynasty. What I am doing in this life is nothing more than overthrowing Jin and restoring Chu.

Ambitious wolf? Hehehe... who can bear this name in front of your Sima family?"

Exposing the identity of Dao Shen Palace would cause resentment, and the reputation of being a loyal and patriotic subject would be damaged, but how could he not have foreseen this? The identity of the descendant of the Chen clan was his preparation.

The name of the Xiang family was better, but he didn't want it.

The Chen clan had been kind to him, so... he would bear the name Chen in this life!

This time, it caused another stir; no one had expected that Chen Yuan would actually have such an identity. In this way, it could be explained.

Revenge, overthrow Jin and restore Chu!

This was righteousness.

Xiang Qianqiu's face was even more gloomy; his son, the descendant of the Xiang family, should die as a member of the Xiang family, not as some direct descendant of the Chen family.

Although the previous dynasty was destroyed, its influence still existed.

He wanted to take advantage of the situation.

But although this time there was some shock, it was still somewhat lacking compared to the previous Asura True Lord.

And Chen Yuan didn't give the people below a chance to continue reacting.

He glanced down, looked directly at Jingtai, and said in a deep voice:

"The chaos in the human world begins with me, Chen Yuan!

The peace of the world ends with me, Chen Yuan!"

"Fellow Daoists, if you don't act now, when will you!"

The performance was over!

Next, it was time to get down to business.

Kill Jingtai, kill all the court elites present, kill all the martial arts experts present, kill all the descendants of the Sima family present, and then,

It would be, the real chaos in the world!

With a low shout from Chen Yuan, Jiang He took a step forward, surrounded by endless sword energy, staring calmly at Li Kuangxiu, and said in a deep voice:

"The grudge between you and me has also reached the time to settle it!"

Li Kuangxiu's pupils shrank deeply; he naturally recognized Jiang He, sensing the powerful aura on his body, glanced at Li Hongshuang, and then looked at the Emperor above, saying solemnly:

"Jiang He, stop! This old man will betroth Hongshuang to you; the grudge between you and me will be settled after the world is stable. I will break my own arms, how about it?"

Compared to an insignificant concubine, he felt that the Emperor might value a Yang God True Lord even more.

Jiang He glanced at Li Hongshuang, also took out a mask from his sleeve and put it on his face, and said faintly:

"Jiang He, the Heavenly Sword Dao Lord of Dao Shen Palace, invites... Father-in-law to return to heaven!"

"Chu Changfeng, the Underworld Prison Dao Lord of Dao Shen Palace..."

"Yang Huatian, the Evil Ghost Dao Lord of Dao Shen Palace..."

"The Evergreen Dao Lord of Dao Shen Palace..."

"For my Central Plains, for everlasting peace,诛eliminate the Jin thieves and restore Chu!"

The martial artists instantly moved; compared to before, this time the commotion was even greater.

It was... about to begin!

Knock down the Sima family's elites, and everyone would seize the world!

"Hahahaha..."

Just as the raging Samadhi True Fire surged towards Jingtai, preparing to诛kill him, he burst into laughter, his madness undisguised, pointed a finger to the sky, and said softly:

"It's coming..."

What was coming?

Everyone present looked up, only to see that in the vast sky, thunder and lightning rolled, and the pressure filled the sky!

----

It's more interesting to have a twist...

How can you say that he is a villain like the protagonist's old man, so he has to be a bit interesting...

You guys might feel this chapter is water, but to be honest, I personally think it's quite interesting.
