God Emperor

Chapter 2154: I Really Want to Take Your life

The leaders of the many Macroworlds in Western Universe gathered in the ninth building of Syzygy Mansion. They were all top elites below Supreme Sainthood and were very famous throughout Celestial Court and Infernal Court.

Kunlun was a member of Western Universe. Hence, most foreign cultivators who were here to support Kunlun were from various Macroworlds in Western Universe.

Of course, some Macroworlds of the other three universes also participated in this meeting, for example Wanxu Realm, Celestial Dragon Realm and Qianrui Realm. They were all powerful Macroworlds.

Almost half of the Macroworld leaders had arrived at Syzygy Mansion now. The rest were still coming.

At this moment, the attention of all Macroworld leaders in the mansion were drawn to the situation at the Spiritual Lake.

“Kunlun cultivators are really bold. How dare they provoke Heavenly Realm at such time?”

“That’s not bold. That’s stupid. Chi Kongyue is playing with fire at the worst time. Judging from the feud between Heavenly Realm and Zhang Ruochen, I’m afraid Zhou Yu won’t let her off this time.”

“Chi Kongyue killed three Saint Kings of Heavenly Realm in public. This is a serious crime. Even Empress Chi Yao can’t absolve her.”

“If Chi Kongyue dies in the hands of Zhou Yu, I wonder if Zhang Ruochen will go mad when he finds out?”

..

Many Macroworld leaders opened their mouths and talked casually like spectators watching a show.

Obviously, they were either allies or some forces close to Heavenly Realm. None of them would care about Kunlun being in an unfavorable circumstance.

They figured that Heavenly Realm cultivators were most likely the ones who had started the fight. Nevertheless, Heavenly Realm had an upperhand now, there was nothing Kunlun could do about it.

Most of the Macroworld leaders remained silent and quietly watched how the incident unfolding. At this time, it was not a good time for them to intervene.

Above the Spiritual Lake, the atmosphere was particularly oppressive. Wang Shiqi was grim. Of course, he did not doubt Chi Kongyue’s words. However, the talented young cultivators present were unwilling to testify. Hence, Chi Kongyue could not defend herself.

Zhou Yu stood on surface of the water. “Wang Shiqi, hand over Chi Kongyue. Don’t leave me no choice.” His tone was cold.

Wang Shiqi, who was standing in front of Chi Kongyue, was processing his thought quickly, trying to force a solution from his mind. No matter what, he could not hand Chi Kongyue over.

He felt responsible for Chi Kunlun’s disapearance in the Battlefield of Merits. Until now, the whereabouts of the Empress’ son were still unknown. If something happened to Chi Kongyue, he could not bring himself to face Empress Chi Yao.

Chi Kongyue felt immense pressure from Zhou Yu’s intimidating and powerful Saint aura. However, there was no fear in her eyes. She held her Saint Sword tightly and pressed it against Bolan’s forehead.

Even if she could not defeat Heavenly Realm this time, she would not compromise. She would certainly drag the culprit—Bolan—along with her if death awaited her.

Chi Kongyue was deeply dissapointed with the young cultivators from the dozens of Macroworlds. None of them had the courage to come forward and speak the truth. How could these bunch of cowards become Supreme Saints in the future?

“Chi Kongyue, still want to act tough at this time. Don’t you think you are disrespectful.”

Zhou Yu shouted and released a powerful aura targetting Chi Kongyue.

He would kill Chi Kongyue mercilessly if she dared to make any moves.

Bolan’s identity was very special that Zhou Yu had to do everything he could to protect him.

Chi Kongyue straightened her posture and looked straight at Zhou Yu. With no slightest fear in her voice, she said, “I know you want me dead simply because you and Heavenly Realm have suffered great losses at my father’s hands. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do about that.”

“Zhou Yu, not everyone is afraid of Heavenly Realm. I may not be as powerful as my father, but I won’t endure your persecution.”

Hearing this, Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows, exuding a more intimidating murderous intent.

To Zhou Yu, his defeat to Zhang Ruochen in Sect of the Blood God was the greatest humiliation in his life. Yet, Chi Kongyue dared to rub his nose in it. Despite having calm temperament, he was deeply offended.

“Zhang Ruochen surely has a good daughter,” Zhou Yu said in a deep voice.

Wang Shiqi’s expression changed slightly. He had a premonition that something bad was going to happen. He immediately released his powerful spiritual power and mobilized energy of heaven and earth to protect Chi Kongyue.

At the same time, an ancient calligraphy brush emerged between Wang Shiqi’s eyebrows and flew to his hand.

As soon as the brush appeared, a vast aura spread out. It felt as if it was from an eternal scholarly civilization carrying generations of cultural heritage.

This brush bore a great significance in Path of Confucianism. It was called Everlasting Brush. Legend had it the four Confucius forefathers had wrote Sacred Confucian Tome using it. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novelenglish.net . Firᴇ

Since myriad of years, generations of Masters of Confucianism had used Everlasting Brush to write countless poems and literary piece. The true essence of Path of Confucianism had long been imprinted in it.

One had to admit that the legacy of Path of Confucianism was greatly profound. Any artifacts passed down from it could be deemed a highly valuable treasure in the eye of a weak Macroworld.

“Hmph.”

Zhou Yu snorted loudly and extended a hand. A large number of Precepts of Light appeared.

In an instant, a ball of Saint light gathered in Zhou Yu’s hand. It was as dazzling as a divine sun, rising slowly and emitting boundless radiance that would dispel all the darkness from the world.

At this moment, it was as though Zhou Yu had become the embodiment of Light holding the world’s power of Light. As if wherever he went, light would descend.

Based on Zhou Yu’s ways of doing things, he would not allow himself to be intimidated by others for long. He wanted to suppress Chi Kongyue and Wang Shiqi with great force and rescue Bolan at the same time.

Wang Shiqi’s eyes became solemn. With no hesitation, he immediately waved Everlasting Brush, condensing the energy of Confucianism, and wrote some immaculate characters in the air.

These were ancient fonts created at the birth of a civilization. They bore the wisdom of countless ancestors, unleashing unfadable radiance and amazing power to meet the Saint Technique of Light cast by Zhou Yu.

Seeing that Zhou Yu had made a move, Chi Kongyue immediately unleashed the illusory realm of Chaos with her Five-element Chaotic Body.

Then, Chi Kongyue entered a wondrous state of becoming one with her sword. She mobilized the nearly 10,000 Precepts of Time that she had cultivated to capture Marks of Time of heaven and earth. She moved quietly and executed Sword of Time with her might.

So what if she was facing a leader from Heavenly Realm. She would still have the bravery to wield her sword and fight. No one could make her give up resisting.

“Wang Shiqi is not only the ruling officer of Imperial Court. He is also a priominent cultivator of Path of Confucianism. If Zhou Yu defeats him this time, it will be a big blow to Kunlun.”

“He is overestimating himself. There is no one to blame for this. Kunlun is full of arrogant cultivator. They are not strong, but they like to act tough. They are asking for trouble.”

“It’s time to teach Kunlun a lesson, make them see the reality. Their glory hundred thousand years ago has long gone. If they don’t know their place, their world will be destroyed faster.

..

Seeing Zhou Yu make a move, some of the Macroworld leaders gloated.

In their opinion, he should teach Kunlun a lesson so that it would be more convenient for them to loot more benefits.

There were also some Macroworld leaders who couldn’t bear it and wanted to make a move. They were all from relatively weaker Macroworlds. Seeing what Kunlun experiencing, they could not help but empathize and resonate with Kunlun cultivators.

At some point in the future, there was no guarantee that their Macroworld would not suffer the same fate that Kunlun was going through one day.

However, just as they wanted to move, they were pulled back by the others around them. “Don’t act rashly. In this situation, even if we take action, we won’t be able to help. On the contrary, it will bring trouble to our Macroworlds.”

Hearing this, they had to hold their anger. Not only did they come as individuals, they represented their Macroworlds. At any time, they could not afford to act impulsively.

“Something happened.”

Suddenly, the Macroworld leaders in the mansion all revealed astonished expressions.

The reason was that the Saint Technique of Light that Zhou Yu had executed had been broken, and the power of Time had cut Light off.

Zhou Yu’s expression kept changing. There had been a Mark of Time that had infiltrated his body and shortened nearly a hundred years of his lifespan. As a result, he was greatly weakened.

A master of Time who was only a Four-Step Saint King could break the Saint Technique of Light he performed and shorten his lifespan. This was totally unexpected.

‘There’s no way Chi Kongyue’s Sword of Time to be such powerful with her current cultivation base. Could it be… Zhang Ruochen is here?’ Zhou Yu guessed.

He had been wondering how Saint King Hongkun got defeated by Chi Kongyue. Now it seemed that something very strange was going on with Chi Kongyue. It was very likely that Zhang Ruochen had secretly attacked him.

However, Zhou Yu failed to find any trace of Zhang Ruochen.

As he could not locate him, the more uneasy Zhou Yu became.

Zhang Ruochen could easily break his advanced Saint technique and shorten his lifespan by 100 years using Chi Kongyue’s attack while hiding in the plain sight.

‘Does this mean he has the ability to kill me without me knowing?’

“Let me say something fair.”

At this moment, a clear voice suddenly sounded.

As the voice trailed off, the fog on the Spiritual Lake dispersed, revealing a jade table. A man and a woman sat opposite each other.

In an instant, everyone’s gaze turned towards these two people.

That man looked very young. He was wearing a Taoist robe with a complicated eight trigrams pattern on it. He held a horsetail whisk in his hand. He was the one who had spoken just now.

Sitting opposite the young man was a beautiful woman dressed in Buddhist robes. She held a jade clear bottle in her hand. Her body was emitting a faint Buddhist light. Every inch of her skin was sacred and flawless. She was like a Bodhisattva walking in the mortal world.

“Zheng Yuan, Ci Hang.”

Seeing these two people, Zhou Yu could not help but frown slightly.

His attention was all on Chi Kongyue, and he really did not notice the existence of Zheng Yuan and Ci Hang.

Moreover, the leaders of various Macroworlds had gathered at the ninth building of Syzygy Mansion, and Zheng Yuan and Ci Hang were staying at the place where the talented young cultivators conversed. It was really out of his expectations.

Zheng Yuan stood up and took a step forward. The next moment, he appeared beside Chi Kongyue, smiling.

“Hi Uncle Zheng Yuan.” Chi Kongyue greeted him with a bow obediently.

She had long heard that Zhang Ruochen and Zheng Yuan had a close relationship. Now that Zheng Yuan had stood up for her, she should behave politely.

Zheng Yuan nodded slightly and said, “My junior, Ruochen’s daughter is indeed extraordinary.”

“Zheng Yuan, this matter has nothing to do with you. You’d better not get involved,” Zhou Yu said.

Zheng Yuan turned to look at Zhou Yu and said indifferently, “I’m not planning to take sides. I just want to say a right thing. This matter is indeed the fault of Bolan. The evidence is here.”

As he spoke, Zheng Yuan took out a scroll and unfolded it in front of everyone.

Moving pictures appeared on the scroll. Voice was heard. The scroll had recorded everything that had happened in the pavilion earlier.

When Bolan heard his blasphemous words with his own ears, his face instantly turned pale. He had never thought that this matter would be preserved with evidence.

Moreover, that person was the first-class young genius of Taoism, Zheng Yuan.

In the pavilion, the dozens of geniuses who were lying were also stunned. They felt their cheeks burning and wanted to find a hole to hide in.

Wang Shiqi secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Now that there was evidence and the leader of the Taoist Holy Land, the Five Elements Temple, had appeared, he believed that no matter how tyrannical Zhou Yu was, it would not dare to act recklessly.

“Zhou Yu, what else do you have to say now?”Wang Shiqi asked in return.

Hearing this, Zhou Yu’s face could not help but darken. He had personally stepped forward and did not hesitate to bully the weak. He had even lost nearly a hundred years of his life, yet in the end, he had received such an outcome. He felt that this matter seemed to have been premeditated.

However, he could not flare up now. If he were to blow the matter up, it would only be disadvantageous to their paradise realm.

He calmed himself down and Zhou Yu said calmly, “Now that the matter has been clarified, there’s no need to continue to be entangled. Chi Kongyue, let Bolan go. Everything ends here. Don’t affect the plan to fight against Infernal Court.”

At this point, even if he was unwilling, he had to compromise. After all, if he continued to make trouble, Bolan would only die.

With the evidence of blasphemy, even if Chi Kongyue killed Bolan, no one would be able to pursue the matter.

“Bolan blasphemed and deserves to be punished. Your universe, on the other hand, is indiscriminately attacking me and Tai Zai for no reason. It is also against the Precepts of heaven and deserves to be punished severely,”Chi Kongyue said seriously.

Hearing this, Zhou Yu’s face could not help but sink. He had already chosen to compromise and not pursue the matter of Chi Kongyue killing the three Saint Kings of Heavenly Realm, yet Chi Kongyue still dared to pester him. He was really going too far.

Forcefully suppressing the anger in his heart, Zhou Yu asked, “Chi Kongyue, what exactly do you want?”

“I still say the same thing. Bolan must kneel and apologize,”Chi Kongyue said.

Everything could be discussed, but when it came to the dignity of her parents, there was no room for discussion.

As he spoke, Chi Kongyue had already withdrawn Five-element Chaotic Body’s abnormal phenomenon, and her gaze was fixed on Bolan.

Bolan sat weakly on the surface of the lake. After many twists and turns, he finally returned to his original position.

Ever since he was born, no matter what he did, he had always been successful. He had never suffered such a huge setback.

He was the son of two gods. How could he kneel and apologize in front of everyone? How would he face others in the future? Where would the dignity of father and mother be?

But if he didn’t do this, there would only be death. How many people weren’t afraid of death?

“A setback is nothing. As long as you’re alive, you’ll get back everything you’ve lost sooner or later.”The Voice of Zhou Yu entered Bolan’s ears.

He was experienced in this aspect. Zhang Ruochen might be strong now, but it was hard to say what would happen in the future. He might become a god, but Zhang Ruochen was struggling in the great saint realm.

A temporary victory or defeat didn’t mean anything. It depended on who would have the last laugh.

“Let me help you.”

Zhou Yu’s voice sounded again.

Before Bolan could react, two light blades suddenly appeared and cut off his legs.

Without his legs, he didn’t have to kneel anymore.

Bolan wasn’t stupid. He immediately understood Zhou Yu’s meaning. Enduring the pain, he said in a trembling voice, “I was too ignorant and desecrated empress Chi Yao. I apologize. I hope Empress Chi Yao will forgive me.”

“Chi Kongyue, are you satisfied?”Zhou Yu asked.

“You…”

Chi Kongyue wanted to say something else, but Zheng Yuan shook her head at her,

to be able to force the divine son of heaven to this point in front of so many people was already close to touching the bottom line of heaven. Zheng Yuan was very clear that continuing to target Chi Kongyue and Kunlun would not benefit them.

After all, Heavenly Realm was the ruler of Western Universe.

The next moment, Zheng Yuan waved his hand and released a streak of Saint Qi. He rolled up Bolan and sent him to the side of Zhou Yu along with the Projection Scroll.

Zhou Yu reached out and pinched it. The mirror image scroll turned into ashes and wanted to take Bolan away.

“Cut off one of your arms!”

At this moment, a voice rang in the ears of Zhou Yu. It made his heart tremble.

He was very familiar with this voice. It was like a nightmare. It was Zhang Ruochen, whom he hated and feared the most.

Just as he had guessed, Zhang Ruochen was indeed in Syzygy Mansion. What he feared came true.

From this, it could be confirmed that Chi Kongyue’s terrifying strength had something to do with Zhang Ruochen.

“You actually made me cut off one of my arms. Zhang Ruochen, you’ve gone too far.”Zhou Yu was furious.

However, he didn’t dare to let it out. The current Zhang Ruochen was stronger than he’d imagined. Even Yan Wushen had been defeated by him. He was truly invincible under the great saint.

Based on his understanding of Zhang Ruochen, if he didn’t do it, the consequences would be even worse. His strength might be comparable to the first level below the great saint, but if he faced Zhang Ruochen, he might be killed without anyone knowing.

However, he was the leader of Heavenly Realm. How would people view him if he cut off his arm in public? What dignity would he have in the future?

For a moment, Zhou Yu was extremely conflicted and did not know what to do.

All of a sudden, Zhou Yu’s heart trembled. He faintly felt a terrifying qi dynamic lock onto him. Space from all directions pressed down on him, making it difficult for him to breathe.

“Zhang Ruochen… you’re ruthless…”

Zhou Yu raised his right hand with difficulty. He used his hand as a knife and gritted his teeth. He was extremely unwilling. An indescribable sense of humiliation rose in his heart.

Zhang Ruochen’s voice came again. “What are you waiting for? Do you want me to do it myself? I really want to kill you!”

Thwack!

Zhou Yu chopped down on his left arm.

His arm fell off and holy blood splashed out.

Zhang Ruochen was too terrifying. In order to survive, he had to compromise in humiliation. Who knew that this damn guy had come to Central Imperial City?

“My God! What’s going on? Why did Zhou Yu chop off one of his arms?”

“Zhou Yu chopped off Bolan’s legs first and then one of his arms. Is he crazy?”

“What’s going on? What is Zhou Yu trying to do?”

..

For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded. They didn’t understand the situation at all.

Even Chi Kongyue showed a puzzled expression. She did not know what Zhou Yu was up to. The cultivators of Heavenly Realm went crazy. They even killed their own people. No, they had even inflicted themselves.
