Peerless God Emperor

He was as arrogant as ever, thinking that he was superior. He had yet to walk out of his previous identity.    

He wanted to see how he would die today.    

"Forget about the fact that you don't have the right to convict me. Everything I did was for the greater good of the Divine King Palace. If you really respect a junior as the Divine King, that would be the biggest joke in the world, and it would shame the entire Divine King Palace." The Everlasting Heavenly Venerate said in a clear voice. His voice was powerful, as if he was standing on the side of reason, and he was not in the wrong.    

Qin Xuan looked at the Everlasting Heavenly Venerate coldly. It was obvious that he was doing this for his own benefit, but he claimed that he was doing this for the Divine King Palace. He was truly shameless to the limit. He was so hypocritical that he probably really thought that he was not in the wrong.    

"You have been in the Divine King Palace for so many years, but you don't know the rules of the Divine King Palace. How pitiful." Fen Old Master said indifferently, "The four great revered envoys are the envoys of the Divine King. When the Divine King is not around, they have the authority to give orders on behalf of the Divine King. Anyone who disobeys the orders of the revered envoys will be seen as disobeying the will of the Divine King. The revered envoys can execute the offender first before reporting to the Divine King."    

"This old man is the First Envoy, how can I not be able to sentence you to death?"    

The Fen Old Master's voice was filled with supreme dignity, and it reverberated through the hall like thunder. Xing Miao, Dong Lai, and the others stared at the old man who was standing proudly, as if they had seen the God of Slaughter who had shook the Divine World back then. They couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence in their hearts.    

In the ancient era, they were not the Hall Masters, but only the elders. The Hall Masters of the Four Great Divine Halls had all fallen during the ancient war. Later on, they used the many resources left behind by the Divine King to break through their cultivation realms, and only then did they have their current status as Hall Masters.    

Although they had become Hall Masters, they still felt a strong sense of fear when facing the former First Envoy. This was an existence that they had once looked up to. Even though it was no longer as glorious as it was in the past, the memories of the past were deeply imprinted in their minds, and they would never be able to erase them.    

When they saw the powerful aura that Fen Old Master revealed at this moment, a ridiculous thought popped up in their minds.    

Could it be that he really could kill Wuji?    

In fact, Empyrean Wuji also felt a trace of fear in his heart. He was intimidated by Fen Old Master's aura, but he still put on a calm expression on his face. He looked at Fen Old Master with a sharp gaze and said proudly, "So what if it's the First Envoy? If you want to punish me, I'm afraid you don't have the strength to do so now!"    

As his voice fell, a powerful aura of the Great Path suddenly burst out from Empyrean Wuji's body. Terrifying golden lightning revolved around his body, and every single strand of golden lightning seemed to contain a great terrifying power, causing the space around him to turn into a world of lightning, and suffocating pressure filled the air.    

Fen Old Master's expression was still as indifferent as ever, as if he did not see the power that Empyrean Wuji had released. He glanced at Xing Miao and the others and said indifferently, "Since you all are unwilling to stand on the same side, then just watch from the back. If you interfere and meddle in the matter, you will be seen as conspirators, and your outcome will be the same as this person."    

Xing Miao and the others' expressions froze. Was this a warning to them?    

However, even if Fen Old Master did not warn them, they did not have any plans to help either side. It would not benefit them no matter which side they helped. Instead, it would only bring them trouble. It was better to just watch from the side.    

"I didn't have the chance to experience the strength of the first envoy in the past. Today, I finally have the chance. I hope you won't let me down." Empyrean Everlasting looked at Fen Old Master and said mockingly. He wanted to see how much strength he had after dying once.    

Qin Xuan looked at Empyrean Everlasting with disdain. Back then, he did not even dare to raise his head in front of Fen Old Master. How could he dare to talk about being able to experience the strength of the first envoy? Now that Fen Old Master's strength had regressed, he spoke such arrogant words. He was simply shameless. How could there be such a person in the Divine King Palace?    

Fen Old Master did not care about Empyrean Everlasting's arrogant words. His face did not change much. He walked forward, and in an instant, a supreme pressure enveloped the entire hall. The space seemed to have frozen, and all the power stopped flowing, falling into absolute stillness.    

Xing Miao and the others' expressions suddenly changed. They looked at Fen Old Master in shock. His strength was actually still so strong?    

Empyrean Everlasting's expression also changed. He faintly felt that the Great Dao was being suppressed. A sharp light flashed across his eyes. Both of his hands struck out at the same time, and countless golden divine swords of lightning shot through the air at the same time. They instantly descended in the space where Fen Old Master was, as if they were going to bury him.    

At this moment, a divine screen of flames suddenly appeared around Fen Old Master's body, protecting his body within it. The divine swords of lightning struck the divine screen of flames, creating loud sounds. The surrounding space collapsed and shattered, but the divine screen of flames did not move at all, as if it was not affected at all.    

"How could this be …" Empyrean Everlasting's eyes widened, and his face was filled with astonishment. He could not believe what he was seeing.    

His attack was actually unable to shake Fen Qing's defense?    

This was too absurd.    

As a Manifestation Realm cultivator, he was in the midst of rising, and Fen Qing had died once. His strength was not as great as before, so how could the gap between them be so great?    

Not only was Empyrean Everlasting, but the hearts of Star Vast, Donglai, and the others who were watching from the side also surged with great waves of shock. They had expected that Empyrean Everlasting was not a match for Fen Old Master, but they did not expect the difference in strength to be so great, as if they were on two different levels.    

They looked at Fen Old Master with some shock. Even after his cultivation had regressed, he was still so powerful. How strong was he when he was at his peak?    

Back then, the difference in status between them and Fen Old Master was extremely great, and they were not on the same level at all. Therefore, they were not very clear about how strong Fen Old Master was. But at this moment, they realized something. If they were to meet Fen Old Master at his peak, they would not have any chance of winning.    

Compared to the others, Qin Xuan's expression was much calmer. He had absolute confidence in Fen Old Master's strength. Even if his cultivation was not as strong as it was back then, not everyone could challenge Fen Old Master's dignity. Not to mention that Empyrean Everlasting was only a Deputy Hall Master, so he was naturally far from being enough to be seen.    

"The current Divine King Palace is really declining. A mediocre person who relied on the Daoist Scriptures to barely step into the Manifestation Realm can actually sit on the position of the Vice Hall Master, and even dare to be impudent in front of me. Who gave you the courage?"    

Fen Old Master stood in the air, looking down at Empyrean Everlasting Wuji with a look of contempt and disdain in his eyes.    

This scene deeply hurt Empyrean Everlasting Wuji's heart, and his expression was extremely ugly. He had already cultivated to the Manifestation Realm, and he thought that there were only a handful of people in the Divine World who could suppress him, so he did not put Fen Old Master in his eyes, and did not care about his words at all.    

However, the reality was not as he had thought. The strength that Fen Old Master had revealed just now had directly crushed his pride and dignity. In Fen Old Master's eyes, he was no different from an ant.    

"You think that you have the qualifications to challenge me just because you have stepped into the Manifestation Realm? You are truly ignorant. With your comprehension, if you didn't have the Daoist Scriptures left by the Divine King, you would never have been able to step into this realm."    

Fen Old Master said with a contemptuous tone, "Even if you were lucky enough to step into it, you would still be deceiving yourself. You would still be unable to withstand a single blow from a true expert."    

Empyrean Everlasting Wuji's expression was extremely ugly. He knew that there was a huge gap between him and those who had stepped into the Manifestation Realm with their own strength. He had been consolidating his cultivation all these years, wanting to make up for the gap.    

However, reality proved that it was impossible to make up for it.    

Even Fen Qing, who had regressed in strength, was unable to shake his defense, let alone compare with those Manifestation Realm cultivators who were at their peak state. There was definitely a difference of heaven and earth.    

After hearing what Fen Old Master had just said, Xing Miao and Dong Lai, who were at the side, felt extremely uneasy. Back then, they had relied on the Dao Scriptures to enter the Manifestation Realm, but they had spent a few hundred thousand years more than Empyrean Wuji in this realm, so their foundations were even deeper.    

They had always stayed in the Divine King Palace to cultivate, and had never sparred with people of the same level. In their opinion, only a few old antiques who had survived the ancient era could defeat them. However, after seeing the battle just now, they realized that the reality might not be what they had thought.    

Fen Qing's words to Wuji might also be a warning for them, telling them to clearly see their own strength and not act rashly.    

"If it was in the past, an ordinary person like you wouldn't even have the qualifications to speak to me. But today, you can die in my hands. This can be considered your honor." Fen Old Master said again. His calm tone contained a terrifying killing intent.    

As his voice fell, Fen Old Master took a step forward, and his body bloomed with incomparably powerful golden God Light. The God Light seemed to contain a great terrifying divine might that suppressed everything.    

At the same time, Empyrean Wuji sensed danger and wanted to tear through space to leave. However, the golden God Light instantly enveloped the area where he was, and the space seemed to have turned into a cage, trapping Empyrean Wuji within, making it difficult for him to move an inch.    

"Where do you think you can escape to?" Fen Old Master's expression was as cold as ice as he walked towards Empyrean Wuji step by step.    

Seeing the figure of Fen Old Master getting closer and closer, fear finally surfaced on the face of Empyrean Wuji. At this moment, he truly realized that death was not far from him. Even though he had already cultivated to the peak of the Martial Tao, he still had a chance of dying.    

Seeing this scene, Xing Miao, Donglai, and the others could not help but feel nervous. No matter what, Wuji was still the Deputy Hall Master of the Universe Palace Hall. If Fen Qing really killed him, then he would become the enemy of the Universe Palace Hall. In the future, there would be a lot of trouble.    

However, Fen Qing had always been a man of action. As long as he wanted to kill someone, no one could escape death. And since Wuji had said such arrogant words just now, how could Fen Qing let him go?    

Today, something big was going to happen.    

"I am the Deputy Hall Master of the Cosmos Hall. If you kill me, have you thought about the consequences?" Empyrean Everlasting looked at Fen Old Master and roared. Then he looked at Qin Xuan and said coldly, "If I die, he won't be able to live either."    

"Are you threatening me?" The killing intent in Fen Old Master's eyes became even stronger. He stretched out his palm, and the pressure in the golden cage suddenly increased by a lot.    

"Bam!" A sound rang out, and Empyrean Wuji was directly smashed to the ground. A clear sound of bones cracking came from his body, and countless bones in his body were shattered.    

Qin Xuan's eyes flashed with a strange light. Ordinary Empyreans were already very strong, and the bodies of Manifestation realm experts were definitely even more terrifying. However, Empyrean Everlasting Heaven was suppressed by Fen Old Master to the point where he could not even fight back. Even his bones were shattered. It seemed that Fen Old Master's strength was much stronger than he had imagined.    

Fen Old Master flicked his finger, and a golden divine fire shot out from his finger. In the next moment, the golden cage was covered by the golden divine fire, as if it had turned into a sea of fire.    

"Ah …" A heart-wrenching howl sounded out. At this moment, the lines on the face of Empyrean Everlasting Wuji were extremely distorted. His body was wrapped by the golden divine fire, and he felt as if he was in a furnace, enduring the pain of being burned alive.    

Qin Xuan stared at the miserable state of Empyrean Everlasting Wuji. To be able to burn the body of a Manifestation Realm cultivator, it could be seen that the golden divine fire was unusual, and it was definitely not weaker than the Undying Demon God Flame that the Demon Lord gave him. Otherwise, it wouldn't have such a powerful power.    

At this moment, a silver God Light appeared in the space of flames, and it turned into a silver Treasure Tripod that enveloped Empyrean Everlasting Wuji's body. The golden divine fire flowed on the surface of the silver Treasure Tripod, emitting sizzling sounds. The silver Treasure Tripod shook violently, as if it was enduring an extremely terrifying attack.    

It was very obvious that this silver Treasure Tripod could only temporarily protect Empyrean Everlasting Wuji, and it wouldn't last for long.    

A cold light flashed past Fen Old Master's eyes. He raised his hand and punched forward, and immediately, many heavenly god-like large palm prints smashed onto the silver giant tripod.    

"Boom …" A deafening sound rang out, and the silver giant tripod shook violently. Many cracks appeared on its surface, as if it would explode at any moment.    

When Xing Miao and the others saw this scene, their hearts trembled. Such a domineering attack meant that he was really going to kill Wuji.    

At this moment, several incomparably powerful pressures suddenly descended in the hall, causing everyone's expression to freeze. Then, they all looked towards a certain space.    

A spatial gate appeared in that space, and three figures walked out from it. The one leading them was a white-haired old man with a solemn expression. He was not angry, but he was extremely dignified. His aura was restrained to the extreme, but it naturally revealed the dignity of a superior.    

"He's finally revealed himself." Xing Miao and the others looked at the old man in the middle. This person was the current Hall Master of the Universe Palace, Venerable Chang Qingtian. The other two middle-aged men were the two Vice Hall Masters of the Universe Palace.    

Venerable Chang Qingtian glanced in the direction of Venerable Wuji and frowned. Then, he looked at Fen Old Master and said in a cold voice, "You have used such a heavy hand to establish your authority in the Universe Palace?"    

"Kill anyone who dares to challenge the dignity of the Divine King." Fen Old Master replied with an unquestionable tone.    

Only then did Venerable Chang Qingtian look at Qin Xuan and said, "Although this child is the successor of the Divine King, his current cultivation is too low. It won't be too late for him to ascend the throne after he enters the Primitive Stage."    

Qin Xuan's eyes flashed. He instantly understood that Venerable Chang Qingtian was trying to delay the inevitable. He would be able to do many things in the time he spent in the Primitive Stage.    

"This person must die today. Whoever dares to stop him will be punished with the same crime!" Fen Old Master said again, his voice filled with a strong killing intent.    

"This …" Xing Miao and the others' hearts trembled. They could naturally hear the determination in Fen Old Master's words. He would not be swayed.    

Even if Chang Qing brought two deputies with him, he would still kill Wuji!
