King Sheng Xiao Qing Han watched the scene powerlessly. The Immortal Emperor had just passed away, and Qing Yu was already infighting. His mind became hazy as he recalled a scene from ten million years ago, when he, following his elder brother, Emperor Qing Xuan, led an army to slaughter their siblings before ascending the throne.
A shocking scene replayed, another unstoppable slaughter that dyed the Emperor's seat of the Qing Xuan Immortal Dynasty red.
"Follow this king into the palace!"
Qing Yu surveyed the area, intending to proceed towards the imperial palace.
"The Immortal Emperor has passed away!"
Qing Han said, his expression dazed.
"What??"
The officials were aghast. This string of information continuously impacted their minds.
Kuai Tong and Lan Yu secretly rejoiced. Their plans, meticulously crafted for decades, had finally yielded a result, yet it was not enough.
"The Immortal Emperor has passed away!!" Su Dan Novel Network.
Qing Han said again. At this moment, he walked to Qing Yu's front, took out a blank imperial decree from his hand, and placed it into Qing Yu's.
He said in a deep voice, "The situation has come to this, Qing Yu. The heavy burden of the Qing Xuan Immortal Dynasty now rests on your shoulders."
"Pfft!!"
Qing Han spat out a mouthful of blood, his anger overwhelming him, and he directly fainted.
Qing Yu looked at the blank imperial decree in his hand, his eyes blazing with excitement. He looked at Qing Hao Cang not far away and declared, "His Royal Highness King Zun Ye, Qing Ji, plotted rebellion and committed grave sins. The entire clan of King Zun Ye shall be executed immediately!"
"As you command!"
Qing Hao Cang was also immensely excited. He had finally chosen the right side this time. He hastily rose and led the imperial guards, rushing towards the King Zun Ye's mansion.
On that day, at the hour of Si (9-11 AM), all three hundred and forty-eight members of the King Zun Ye's clan were executed, and the entire mansion was reduced to ashes.
At two quarters past Si, Qing Yu announced to all sides that the Qing Xuan Immortal Emperor had passed away and the Immortal Dynasty would hold a state funeral.
During these three days, Qing Yu did not rest. He ordered Qing Hao Cang to kill all of King Zun Ye's faction, executing the entire family.
Lan Yu, deeply trusted by Qing Yu, was dispatched to reclaim the military authority from the border generals one by one. For this, many generals at the Small Heavenly Venerate realm were displeased and were beheaded by Lan Yu, five of them, before the military unrest was quelled.
In three days, Lan Yu had gained control of the military power of the Qing Xuan Immortal Dynasty.
Kuai Tong was also not idle. In three days, he read through all the memorials in the imperial palace and committed the true situation of the Qing Xuan Immortal Dynasty to memory.
The thirty-ninth year of the Great Han, December 1st.
Qing Yu hastily and perfunctorily buried the Immortal Emperor's remains and rushed back to Holy Emperor City to prepare for his enthronement ceremony.
The third day of December in the thirty-ninth year of the Great Han, Qing Yu ascended the throne and proclaimed himself Emperor in Holy Emperor City. On the same day, Kuai Tong was enfeoffed as the National Preceptor, in charge of all state affairs and serving as the head of all officials.
He also granted Kuai Tong the privilege of entering the court without bowing and of receiving salutations without formal address!
Lan Yu was enfeoffed as the Great Marshal of the Qing Xuan Immortal Dynasty, holding the military power of the entire dynasty. Qing Hao Cang was made Deputy Marshal to assist Lan Yu.
In a mere few days, the Qing Xuan Immortal Dynasty completed its transition of power. Under the planning of Lan Yu and Kuai Tong, numerous civil and military officials entered the core of the Qing Xuan Immortal Dynasty.
...
"Boom!"
Sealed land, Green Dragon Palace ruins.
Dian Wei held his iron halberd, refining ten thousand feet of crimson divine fire, like a Vermillion Bird emerging, obscuring the heavens, its might immense.
At this time, the Green Dragon Palace ruins were devoid of any onlookers. Everyone feared for their lives.
Chu Sheng stood tall and arrogant. With a raise of his hand, his fist was covered in a silver glow, like a meteorite from outer space, friction with the void sparking starlight.
"Boom!"
From the deepest part of the Green Dragon Palace, an explosive sound echoed, and layers of qi storms surged out, bursting through the primeval forest. Terrifying divine power pulverized countless ancient trees.
After several breaths, the divine light from the depths dissipated. The two stood facing each other from afar, in a standoff.
"Chu family prodigy?"
"I find him to be nothing special!"
Dian Wei raised his iron halberd and said.
With a boom, Chu Sheng was enraged. He raised his ten thousand feet of silver light, as if lifting the river of stars with one hand, and struck forward. The surging divine power seemed to utilize nearly ninety-nine percent of his divine power.
"Battle!"
Dian Wei roared, his entire body erupting with crimson divine light. The Vermillion Bird vibrated in his eyes. He swung his two iron halberds, unleashing several divine beams that struck towards Chu Sheng.
"I am becoming increasingly mystified by you Great Han humans!"
"This Chu Sheng is a prodigy of the Supreme One realm from the Chu family of this era, ranked among the top three. His accomplishments are earth-shattering. When he first emerged, he could contend with the reincarnated Wang Zhuo. His strength is extraordinary, yet today, he cannot gain any advantage from General Dian!"
Xia Xin Yu murmured softly.
"General Dian is also a generation's outstanding talent. Chu Sheng? He is no match for General Dian!"
Long Ju's expression remained unchanged.
Dian Wei and Chu Sheng fought fiercely in all directions. Dozens of breaths of intense combat directly depleted all of Chu Sheng's divine power. The primeval forest outside the Green Dragon Palace had long since vanished, but the figure of the Supreme Mysterious Venerable was nowhere to be seen.
The void trembled. The beings outside the primeval forest were currently quaking with fear. Most looked towards the end of the sky, the depths of the Green Dragon Palace ruins, trembling in awe and wishing to submit.
Chu Sheng's crown was now shorn off by Dian Wei. His long hair scattered in the void. He held two silver suns in his hands, smashing them down towards Dian Wei. Supreme divine power erupted in the void, dazzling and brilliant.
"Halberd Shakes the World!"
On the other side, Dian Wei's iron halberd was stained with blood. He shouted, and his entire body ignited with fiery divine light, striking across the void.
With a boom, the void shattered, extending for a thousand miles.
"Damn human!"
"Take my World-Ending Fist!"
Amidst rumbling sounds, those two silver suns became increasingly radiant. Several silver lights shot towards the sky.
The silver suns ascended, and the world for ten thousand miles became a silver expanse, instantly engulfing the entire Green Dragon Palace ruins.
Substantial energy landed on the several halberd beams. Crimson cracks divided the silver world.
Boom!
Overwhelming divine light erupted, and wisps of crimson divine fire splashed out, turning the entire Green Dragon Palace into a crimson world!
Chu Feng's clothes were tattered. A wound, an inch deep, ran straight across his chest, revealing the white bone beneath.
He touched the blood flowing out and brought it to his lips, taking a shallow taste. "Damn ant, how dare you wound me!"
He placed his hands in the void, forming claws. Instantly, the void cracked, and several thousand-foot silver spears descended, sealing all possible escape routes for Dian Wei.
*Crack~~*
The void collapsed layer by layer. One could visibly see the layers of sealing arrays deep within the void.
"Boom!"
"No need to bother, I will not retreat!"
Dian Wei glared at the silver spears filling the sky and raised his iron halberd, shouting. A Vermillion Bird several feet tall faintly stirred behind him. Each of its wingbeats sent tremors through Xia Xin Yu's heart.
One halberd beam after another rolled out, shattering one silver spear after another.
