Chapter 291: Fengtian Has Its Own Fate
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Above the ocean, a huge whale of unknown length swam under the sea of clouds. Its huge body had dark blue scales that were similar to tree bark. Its fins swayed slightly, raising a strong wind.
There was a city on the back of the huge whale. Under the sunlight, the city walls shone with a faint silver light.
There was a small mountain in the center of the city, and a palace stood on it. At that moment, figures stood in front of the palace gates. At the forefront was a man dressed in purple robes with dragon patterns. He looked to be in his early forties. He was handsome and dignified. From his point of view, he could overlook the entire city and see the magnificent ocean in the distance.
He was the founder of Guangtian, the former God of War of the Sacred Dynasty, Lin Hongchen.
Lin Hongchen said, “How big is this ocean? Do you think Guangtian can be promoted to a Sacred Dynasty if I subjugate all the Sovereign Dynasties in the endless ocean?”
The people standing behind him were all wearing armor, looking domineering.
A general with a scar on his face smiled and said, “Of course. Heavenly Duke, you will certainly lead Guangtian to surpass the former Sacred Dynasty.”
The other generals followed suit, and Lin Hongchen smiled when he heard that.
Lin Hongchen stared into the distance and asked, “Has the Emperor been well-behaved recently?”
Another younger general replied, “It is believed that the Emperor wants to support the royal family. What do you think we should do?”
Lin Hongchen calmly said, “Kill all the relatives, but leave only my daughter’s family.”
“Yes!”
The young officer immediately turned around and went to send a message.
The other generals began to curse.
“The Emperor is quite bold. Heavenly Duke, this little lesson is not enough.”
“That’s right. He’s merely a puppet. Does he really think he’s the Emperor?
Whoever the Heavenly Duke appoints can be the emperor!”
“Guangtian is able to become what it is today is all due to the prestige of the
Heavenly Duke.”
“We have been away from Guangtian for dozens of years, so it’s normal for the Emperor to be bold. Other than our relatives, we also have to investigate the aristocratic families that secretly supported them.”
Hearing his subordinates’ suggestion, Lin Hongchen narrowed his eyes and said, “Enough, he’s the Emperor after all. Give him some face. After accepting the next few Sovereign Dynasties, it’s time for us to return.”
When the generals heard that, they no longer dared to speak nonsense.
In the 28th year of the Yan Yuan Era, the Emperor, Jiang Liu, began to eat tonics often due to excessive pleasure. This matter was widely spread among the people. There were even rumors that the Emperor would not live past the next five years. Various ridiculous rumors about the Emperor were spread among the people, which smeared his reputation.
When Jiang Liu learned of these rumors, he was furious. He sent the White-robed Guards to investigate and capture them, but it only intensified the rumors.
Jiang Liu almost died from anger. Later on, he gave up on the investigation and started to look forward to Fengtian’s arrival.
It had been ten months since he learned that Fengtian had surrendered to Great Jing, but there was still no news. Right now, he was even more anxious than Emperor Fengtian, Li Ya. In his opinion, as long as he completed the annexation of Fengtian, his achievements would be great and all the rumors would disappear.
On the other side, on Longqi Mountain.
Jiang Changsheng was not in a hurry. Back then, Great Jing had spent a lot of time preparing to relocate. The longer he waited, the better. Li Ya was an emperor that loved his people, so he hoped to wait for more citizens and martial artists to return.
Until this day.
He heard Li Yi’s voice.
“Oh no, Dao Ancestor, Lin Hongchen of Guangtian has personally come to pressure His Majesty. Can you lead us away now?”
Li Yi’s tone was anxious and filled with panic.
Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes and silently calculated Lin Hongchen’s strength. His value had risen to 130 million incense points. If including those he brought with him, the total value of their party had reached 500 million incense points. This strength was enough to crush the Fengtian Sovereign Dynasty.
Without saying anything else, he stood up and left, leaving behind a clone.
When everyone in the courtyard saw him leave, their hearts skipped a beat. They remembered Jiang Tianming’s prophecy. Although they knew that Jiang Changsheng had left behind a clone, in their opinion, a clone could not compare to the real one.
Bai Qi looked at Jiang Tianming and nervously asked, “Tianming, what else have you dreamed of recently?”
Venerable Bai was not around, and Jiang Tianming was using potions to temper his physique. He was already very close to the Two Grotto-heaven realm, and his breakthrough speed was unimaginable. But at this point, everyone had accepted it.
Jiang Tianming floated in the medicinal cauldron as if he was soaking in a hot spring. He grinned and said, “I dreamed that I drank the holy wine of the
Sacred Dynasty. It was so delicious…”
Bai Qi’s lips twitched, and the others could not help but laugh.
Ye Xun asked, “What do you think the Dao Ancestor went to do?”
Mu Lingluo said, “To pick up Fengtian, of course. What else would he go outside for?”
“Does he have to be in such a hurry to pick up Fengtian? Something must have happened. Could it be that Guangtian is coming?”
How many years had it been since someone dared to challenge the Dao Ancestor? In that case, he could help the Dao Ancestor deal with some problems.
Ji Wujun snorted and said, “Guangtian.. I hope Lin Hongchen will personally go there, so that the Dao Ancestor can deal with him!”
The atmosphere in the courtyard became lively as everyone tried to guess what had happened.
In the capital of the Fengtian Sovereign Dynasty, countless martial artists floated in the air and looked at the horizon in horror.
A huge whale covered the sun on the horizon, shocking everyone’s eyes. All the citizens in the city revealed expressions of fear, and the guards standing on the city walls were also trembling.
In the face of such a huge beast, most people felt fear and despair.
Surrounded by eunuchs, Li Ya walked to the martial arts arena of the palace. Looking at the horizon from afar, he was also shocked.
“What kind of beast is that?”
Li Ya was considered knowledgeable, but he had never seen such a huge beast. It was as if it could swallow a city in one bite. Now, he had seen it with his own eyes, and no words could describe the shock and pressure.
“Emperor Fengtian, come and meet the Heavenly Duke!”
A dignified and loud voice resounded throughout the sky, causing an uproar in the imperial city.
Li Ya’s expression was gloomy as he said in a deep voice, “What’s going on? Such a huge exotic beast actually attacked the imperial city without anyone noticing?”
The head of internal affairs at the side revealed an awkward expression and said, “There is indeed no news. Perhaps the other party flew very fast.”
Li Yi hovered above the imperial city and stood side by side with the group of generals. A burly figure that looked like an arhat roared, “What Heavenly Duke?
Which force are you from?”
His voice was like thunder, but his aura was obviously inferior to the other party. Even the citizens could hear the difference.
The dignified voice sounded again. “Naturally, the Heavenly Duke is the Heavenly DilKe or Guangtlan!”
Hearing this, the expressions of all the martial artists changed drastically. Li Yi was the same. He immediately called for the Dao Ancestor in his heart.
How powerful was Guangtian? It was founded by the God of War of the Sacred Dynasty and had devoured no less than thirty dynasties. It was said that there were terrifying experts in Guangtian that surpassed the Grotto-heaven realm.
Li Yi turned his head and saw that Li Ya had stepped into the sky. He immediately went to stop him and said, “Your Majesty, you can’t go. I’ve already prayed to the Dao Ancestor in my heart. He will definitely hear it and will come soon.”
Li Ya forced a smile and said, “I already know that Great Jing is in the Great
Wilderness. I don’t even know where such a place is. It must be very far away. Even if the Dao Ancestor were to come now, I’m afraid it would be too late.’ He was unwilling and even regretted it.
He was too soft-hearted. In order to wait for more commoners to come, he actually waited for Guangtian’s arrival.
Since the Heavenly Duke of Guangtian had personally come, there must be an explanation today.
With that thought in mind, Li Ya’s eyes were firm as he said, “I will go and meet him. No one is allowed to act on their own accord. Protect the citizens of the imperial city!”
When the high-ranking officers in the air heard that, they tried to dissuade him, but he refused to listen and stepped towards the huge whale in the distance.
On the other side.
In the city on the back of the whale, Lin Hongchen saw this scene from afar. He frowned and said, “The Fengtian Sovereign Dynasty has fallen to this extent? This emperor is too weak.”
The high-ranking officer at the side smiled and said, “It is said that a hundred years ago, they invaded a dynasty named Great Jing. After they suffered a defeat, their reputation plummeted. Speaking of Great Jing, the legend of Great Jing is strange. It is said that there was an immortal named Dao Ancestor in Great Jing who dragged his continent north. Hahaha, it is simply nonsense, but many fools believe it.”
Drag his continent north?
When Lin Hongchen heard that, he could not help but shake his head and laugh.
The other generals laughed as well. Only one person frowned and wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he chose to remain silent.
“As expected, the further north we go, the more backward the Sovereign Dynasties are. After all, it is too far away from the Sacred Dynasty. Naturally, the concepts they have received are naturally backward. Fengtian is too weak, which disappointed me very much. There’s no need to see the Emperor. Prepare to subdue Fengtian!”
Lin Hongchen softly instructed. After he said that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Hearing this, the high-ranking officers revealed hideous smiles.
There were many ways to subdue Fengtian directly.
“I’ll go first!”
The tallest officer twisted his neck and said. His smile was filled with killing intent, as if he had seen his prey.
That’s right, he intended to suppress Fengtian alone!
Li Ya did not hear their conversation. At that moment, under the gaze of all the citizens and martial artists in the city, Li Ya walked towards the huge whale in the horizon. Seeing this scene, an unprecedented sense of humiliation surged in the hearts of the people of Fengtian.
The news of Guangtian’s intention to take over Fengtian had long spread. They did not expect that day to come so quickly.
In the face of the other party’s display of strength, Fengtian did not even dare to resist and could only let its Emperor go forward alone. How humiliating was that?
Li Ya did not walk fast. Even though he had made up his mind, he still wanted to stall for time and fight for that slim chance.
At that very moment.
“The Heavenly Duke has ordered all the citizens to kneel immediately. Anyone who disobeys will die!”
The dignified voice sounded once again. Li Ya saw a figure that radiated a terrifying aura leaping out from the whale and charging towards him with unstoppable momentum.
He subconsciously wanted to dodge, but the other party was too fast.
Oh no!
Li Ya’s pupils dilated as despair filled his heart.
“Hmph!”
A cold snort exploded. The tall general seemed to have been struck by lightning as he vomited blood and flew back. Coincidentally, he landed in front of the generals of Guangtian. Lin Hongchen, who was walking towards the palace, stopped and turned around.
The sky above the imperial city of Fengtian suddenly changed. The sea of clouds churned and a strong wind blew.
“Fengtian has its own fate. Please return!”
Jiang Changsheng’s voice resounded between the heavens and the earth. The surging sea of clouds formed a huge vortex, and a bright sun was descending from the vortex. There was a figure in the bright sun, and the sunlight obscured his true appearance, making him look like a god that had descended to the mortal world..
