C3607 The Divine King Palace Trembled
"Is this the pressure of the Divine Sword?"
The Ten Thousand Empyrean and the others were trembling in their hearts. Their eyes were incomparably shocked as they stared at the golden sword. The Divine Punisher Sword had such a powerful power in Qin Xuan's hands. If it was in the hands of the Divine King, how powerful would it be?
They could not imagine it.
Cracking sounds rang out one after another. The cracks on the Divine Golden Staircase grew larger and larger, spreading out like a spider web. In just a few breaths of time, it had already covered the entire Divine Golden Staircase, as if it would completely explode in the next moment.
Finally, under everyone's gaze, the Divine Golden Staircase exploded with a loud bang, turning into countless light spots that scattered in all directions. At the same time, a blood figure fell from the sky.
With a heavy bang, the blood figure landed on the ground, creating a huge human-shaped pit. One could imagine how powerful the impact was.
The Ten Thousand Empyrean and the rest immediately cast their gazes over. They saw that the Pill Sun Empyrean's body was lying in a pool of blood, and his aura was extremely weak. He looked like a candle in the wind, about to be extinguished at any moment.
"How tragic …" Everyone could not help but feel sympathy for him. However, they soon calmed down. In the end, he was the one who deserved it. If he wasn't so arrogant, he wouldn't have fallen to such a state.
Thinking of this, they all looked up at the peerless figure in the sky. Their faces revealed a faint sense of reverence. Previously, they had only treated Qin Xuan as a junior, but after witnessing Qin Xuan's combat strength with their own eyes, they no longer dared to underestimate him.
Otherwise, Dan Yang would be a warning to them.
Qin Xuan stood in the air and looked down at Heavenly Venerate Dan Yang in the crater. He said indifferently, "After today, there will no longer be a person like Dan Yang in the Divine King Palace."
After saying that, he slashed down with his palm.
"Buzz." The God Punisher Sword tore through the air and landed in the huge pit in an instant. It then pierced through the body of Heavenly Sovereign Dan Yang, and the terrifying Sword Intent filled every part of his body. Heavenly Sovereign Dan Yang's eyes were wide open, and his face was ferocious. The intense pain caused him to let out a heart-wrenching scream.
After a while, Heavenly Venerate Dan Yang's body suddenly exploded. Blood dyed the entire space red, as if it had turned into a sea of blood. It was an extremely spectacular sight.
Thousand Transformations Heavenly Venerate and the others looked at the scene in front of them with a slightly absent mind. Their hearts were not calm. Although they did not have much of a relationship with Heavenly Venerate Dan Yang, he was still a Primitive level figure after all. He died in front of them just like that, and it naturally caused them to feel a great impact in their hearts.
They felt a little fortunate in their hearts. Fortunately, they did not say anything excessive. Otherwise, they did not know what would happen to them.
If one were to ask the person with the most complicated feelings at this moment, it would be Heavenly Venerate Xuan Bao.
He had come with Heavenly Venerate Dan Yang, and now that Heavenly Venerate Dan Yang had died in front of him, he was the only one left. How would he explain this to the Hall Master when he returned?
More importantly, Qin Xuan's impression of Supreme Mystery Hall was very bad. He would definitely think of ways to suppress Supreme Mystery Hall in the future. If the other three great divine halls all pledged their loyalty to Qin Xuan, Supreme Mystery Hall's situation would be very difficult. As the Vice Hall Master of Supreme Mystery Hall, he would naturally not be in a good position.
Just as Heavenly Venerate Xuan Bao was thinking about this, Qin Xuan's gaze fell on him and asked, "You saw what happened just now. In your opinion, should Dan Yang deserve to die?"
Heavenly Venerate Xuan Bao's expression froze. He clearly did not expect Qin Xuan to ask him this.
"Dan Yang spoke arrogantly and offended his superiors. Naturally, it is a capital offense." Heavenly Venerate Xuan Bao immediately replied with a serious expression. He understood very well that if he hesitated for a moment, Qin Xuan might attack him.
Qin Xuan looked deeply at Heavenly Venerate Xuan Bao, as if he wanted to see through his inner thoughts. After a moment, he swept his gaze across Heavenly Venerate Myriad Transformations and the others and said, "Dan Yang sought his own death. I will do as he wishes. If anyone else doesn't want to live in the future, they will end up like him."
Everyone's hearts couldn't help but tremble. They knew that Qin Xuan was not scaring them, but he really could do it. Even if he didn't do it himself, Fen Qing would do it for him. He definitely wouldn't show mercy to those who disobeyed him.
"In addition, the orders that I have given you before, you have to carry them out as soon as possible after you return. One month later, I want to see the Punishment Hall appear in the Divine King Palace." Qin Xuan spoke again, his tone was incomparably dignified.
"One month." Everyone immediately revealed a troubled expression, but they did not dare to say a word of complaint. They all nodded and said, "We understand."
A strange light flashed across Empyrean Myriad Transformations's eyes, and then he cupped his hands towards Qin Xuan and said, "May I ask Divine King, when will the selection of the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall be confirmed?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Empyrean Myriad Transformations and thought to themselves that his thoughts were too obvious. He was clearly telling Qin Xuan that he wanted to be the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall.
Qin Xuan naturally understood Empyrean Myriad Transformations's thoughts, but his expression did not change at all. He said in a calm tone, "This is not something you should ask. When the time is right, I will naturally announce it."
Empyrean Myriad Transformations's eyes immediately dimmed a few degrees. From Qin Xuan's tone, it seemed that he did not consider him.
"If there is no other candidate, you can all withdraw." Qin Xuan waved his hand casually, and after saying that, his figure disappeared from where he stood.
After Qin Xuan disappeared, Empyrean Myriad Transformations and the others looked at each other, and their expressions were not very natural. What happened today could be said to be shocking. If news of this spread out, the Divine King Palace would experience an earthquake.
The Grand Mystery Hall's Vice Hall Master was killed, and it was killed by the Divine King with the Divine Sword. This meant that the situation in the Divine King Palace would change once again, returning to the situation of the ancient times.
As for what would happen, no one could predict it.
......
In the deepest part of the Supreme Mystery Hall, in an ancient palace, an old man with white hair sat cross-legged in the void. His eyes were tightly closed, and his face was serene. Circles of purple light surrounded his body, illuminating the entire hall.
At a certain moment, the old man seemed to have sensed something. His tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and an incomparably shocking God Light shot out from his eyes, directly tearing open a narrow and long crack in the space in front of him. At the same time, a terrifying pressure spread out in the hall.
This old man with white hair was Heavenly Venerate Supreme Mystery.
Just a moment ago, a voice rang out in his mind. It was Heavenly Venerate Profound Treasure's voice, telling him that Dan Yang had been killed by Qin Xuan, and that Qin Xuan was going to establish a Punishment Hall in the Divine King Palace.
He had asked Heavenly Venerate Dan Yang and Heavenly Venerate Profound Treasure to apologize, and his original intention was to show goodwill to Qin Xuan and Fen Qing, not wanting to stand against them. However, they did not appreciate his kindness at all. Not only did they kill his subordinates, they even wanted to weaken Supreme Mystery Hall's strength. It was really too much.
Since that was the case, don't blame him for not showing any mercy.
Heavenly Venerate Supreme Mystery's expression became extremely cold. He then stood up, took a step forward, and directly stepped into the void, disappearing from the hall.
......
Not long after, two pieces of heavyweight news spread throughout the Divine King Palace, causing a lot of heated discussions.
The first piece of news was that the Divine King had given the order to re-establish the position of the Venerable Envoy and the Warrior General. In addition, he would draw people from the Four Great Shrines to establish the Punishment Hall to maintain the order of the Divine King Palace.
The second piece of news caused countless people to feel great waves in their hearts. The Vice Hall Master of the Supreme Mystery Hall, Pill Sun Tian, had spoken rudely to the Divine King, and he had offended his superiors. In the end, he was killed by the Divine Sword.
From these two pieces of news, many people acutely sensed a signal.
The Divine King Palace was about to change.
For the past million years, the Four Great Shrines had controlled the power of the Divine King Palace. Although there had not been any conflicts, everyone knew that the Divine King Palace was divided, and the people were not united. They were all fighting for their own benefits.
Qin Xuan's arrival had shattered the structure of the Divine King Palace, and it allowed them to see a trace of a new atmosphere.
They were very excited about this. The Divine King Palace had been silent for a million years. Now that Qin Xuan controlled the power, he used thunderous measures to intimidate the Four Great Shrines. It seemed to be disadvantageous to the unity of the Divine King Palace, but from a long-term perspective, this was a good thing for the Four Great Shrines to unite together.
As these two pieces of news rapidly spread, Qin Xuan's prestige in the Divine King Palace also rapidly rose. When many people talked about him, their expressions were filled with respect, and they treated him as the Divine King from the bottom of their hearts.
Very quickly, a command was issued in the Stellar Hall. A competition would be held in three days. Only Heavenly Venerates could participate in the competition. Those who performed well would have a chance to be selected to enter the Punishment Hall.
The rules of the Stellar Hall were not very clear. It did not say how many people could enter the Punishment Hall, but it said that those who performed well would have a chance to control the space. After all, the judging power of the Stellar Hall was in the hands of the upper echelons of the Stellar Hall.
But no matter what, the Stellar Hall had at least held a competition on the surface. It could also be considered to be carrying out Qin Xuan's orders 'seriously'.
After the Stellar Hall, the Cosmos Hall and the Divine Martial Hall also issued orders to hold competitions. The rules they set were ambiguous, leaving some room for manipulation.
Many people knew very well that the various halls were unwilling to send their experts to the Punishment Hall. This was to weaken their own strength, but they could not go against the orders of the Divine King in public. They could only go through the loopholes.
However, the Taixuan Hall did not make any moves. This made many people speculate that the Taixuan Hall had already lost a Vice Hall Master. Could it be that they still had to go against the orders of the Divine King?
If they did not obey, the Divine King would probably fly into a rage.
In the Divine King Palace, Qin Xuan and Fen Old Master were sitting opposite each other in a pavilion, drinking tea and chatting.
"What do you think about the candidates for the Venerable Envoy and the Warrior?" Qin Xuan asked. Fen Old Master was more familiar with the people in the Divine King Palace than him, so he naturally had to listen to Fen Old Master's opinion.
"The Divine King Palace doesn't have a suitable candidate." Fen Old Master shook his head and said.
Qin Xuan was startled. The Divine King Palace didn't have a suitable candidate?
"What do you mean?" Qin Xuan asked tentatively.
"The Venerable Envoy is the closest person to the Divine King, and he possesses an extraordinary status. Thus, his strength must be strong enough. Currently, there is no one in the Divine King Palace who can suppress the four Hall Masters. Even if he were to forcefully take the position of the Venerable Envoy, it would be unconvincing." Fen Old Master said.
Qin Xuan nodded. If the Venerable Envoy was unable to convince the masses, then it would be meaningless to reestablish the position of the Venerable Envoy.
"I suggest that we select the Venerable Envoy in the Divine World." Fen Old Master said. This sentence caused Qin Xuan's eyes to narrow. Select from the outside world?
"Is there such a precedent in the past?" Qin Xuan asked.
"No, but in times of extreme urgency, we must do extraordinary things. The most important thing right now is to strengthen the Divine King Palace and stand in front of the world to gather the hearts of the people of the Divine World," Fen Old Master said with a serious expression.
Qin Xuan's eyes revealed a profound meaning. The Divine King Palace had been hidden for a million years, and it was almost forgotten by the people of the world. Now that he had taken the position of the Divine King, it was indeed time for the Divine King Palace to stand out.
"Do you have a reliable candidate?" Qin Xuan asked, his expression becoming serious.
Not only did the Venerable Envoy have to be strong, he also needed absolute loyalty to the Divine World. Otherwise, if someone with ill intentions occupied a high position, it would be difficult to predict what kind of consequences would befall them.
"There are two people who can try." Fen Old Master said.
"Who are they?" Qin Xuan asked curiously.
"Empyrean Creation and Empyrean Heavens."
Qin Xuan's eyes froze. He never thought that the two people Fen Old Master mentioned were them.
What kind of people were Empyrean Creation and Empyrean Heavenly Lord? They were completely qualified to be the Venerate Envoys, and their loyalty to the Divine Realm was not to be doubted. However, with their identities, would they be willing to come to the Divine Royal Palace to work?
Although the position of Venerate Envoys was extraordinary, they were already standing at the peak of the Divine Realm. To them, the Venerate Envoys were not attractive at all. Moreover, they were free and unfettered, so how could they be willing to work for a junior like him?
"How confident are you in convincing them?" Qin Xuan asked.
"It's not that I want to convince them, but it's you." Fen Old Master stared at Qin Xuan, and said with a serious expression, "Although I have some friendship with them, it's not enough to make them work for the Divine Royal Palace. Only you can persuade them."
Qin Xuan's expression immediately froze. He understood what Fen Old Master meant.
The Empyrean Creation and Empyrean Heavenly Lord did not care about their identities. If Fen Old Master were to speak on their behalf, it would be a show of affection. It would make them feel embarrassed. Only by personally going to them could he show his sincerity.
"Alright, I'll go find them." Qin Xuan nodded, and then asked, "Do you have any candidates for the general?"
"Choose from the thirty-three palaces."
Fen Old Master slowly opened his mouth and said, "Over the years, there have been some people with decent strength in the 33 Heavens Palace. We have let them serve as generals in the Divine King Palace. Not only is it a promotion for them, but it is also a signal for the Divine Realm that the Divine King Palace is about to regain control of the Divine Realm."
A smile appeared in Qin Xuan's eyes. Fen Old Master's idea was the same as his. He also planned to select people from the Heavenly Palace. The masters of the Heavenly Palaces were all at the Primitive Realm, so they were completely qualified to serve as generals.
When the four revered envoys and the twenty-four generals were all gathered, the strength of the Divine King Palace would be enough to control the 33 Heavens. At that time, the Divine King Palace would be able to control the 33 Heavens, and the Divine Realm would once again be able to regain its glory from the ancient times!
