620 Grand Emperor Igneous’s Forbearance

“Grand Emperor, what are your orders?”

Igneous entered through the door. His attitude was very respectful. It was impossible to connect the title of Grand Emperor with the figure here.

Grand Emperor North Mountain looked at Igneous expressionlessly. Finally, he said calmly, “Something has happened to North Mountain Jag. I’ll have to trouble you to make a trip to the Lodestone Domain to investigate the matter of North Mountain Jag. As for the Lodestone Domain, you will wipe it out in retribution for North Mountain Jag’s death!”

“Yes, as Your Majesty commands!”

Igneous said respectfully. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Grand Emperor North Mountain suddenly said, “Igneous, I trust you very much. Do this well, and I will take you to see the Divine King!”

Igneous’s entire body trembled. He had been waiting for this day for too long.

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

With that, Igneous took a deep breath and instantly stepped out of the North Mountain Domain, flying towards the Lodestone Domain.

After leaving the North Mountain Domain, Igneous’s slightly hunched body straightened instantly. The turbid light in his eyes seemed to turn blazing, all of a sudden, and his body emitted an infinite domineering air.

He was a Grand Emperor, a dignified Grand Emperor, yet he had to submit himself to Grand Emperor North Mountain and serve as a commander under him, at his every beck and call. Why was he enduring so patiently?

“Guxi, don’t worry. It won’t be long. I will avenge you soon!”

Igneous’s eyes were very calm, but the calmer his gaze was, the more emotions churned in his heart. He had been waiting for this day for too long. Back then, in order to deal with the Grand Emperor of Annihilation, he had invited his good friends, and had been ready to make a plan that might take billions of years.

Unfortunately, as soon as they heard that he wanted to deal with the Grand Emperor of Annihilation, his “good friends” all lost their composure. Originally, Grand Emperor Igneous was already prepared to pay a huge price, and was even willing to scheme for billions of years. No matter how long it took, he could wait. The last thing he lacked was patience.

However, the background of the Grand Emperor of Annihilation was too shocking. When those good friends knew that they were dealing with the Grand Emperor of Annihilation, they all immediately fell out with him. Their so-called “friendship” was not worth mentioning at all.

Without the help of those “good friends”, how could Grand Emperor Igneous take revenge?

In terms of cultivation speed, he was inferior to Lin Feng. In terms of talent, he was also inferior to Lin Feng. In terms of background, he was even more inferior to Lin Feng. Even if it took thousands or tens of thousands of years, how could he make his revenge?

Lin Feng was a disciple of the Divine Palace of Bemond. He was favored by Divine King Bemond, and might even be bestowed with life-saving treasures. How could such a person be so easy to kill?

How could all of Grand Emperor Igneous’s “good friends” not understand that Lin Feng could not be provoked? Even if they were determined to help Igneous, would they succeed? That might not be the case. Hence, they all advised Igneous to endure and forget his grievance.

But how could they understand the relationship between Grand Emperor Igneous and Grand Emperor Guxi?

Grand Emperor Igneous knew that Lin Feng had a powerful background. None of the “good friends” he invited were willing to stand up for him. He had to rely on himself.

Hence, Grand Emperor Igneous would rather endure and join Grand Emperor North Mountain. Relying on his reputation as a Grand Emperor, while joining Grand Emperor North Mountain, Grand Emperor Igneous put aside his dignity as a Grand Emperor and did his best to work for Grand Emperor North Mountain.

Wasn’t it for the sake of gaining the trust of Grand Emperor North Mountain?

As Grand Emperor North Mountain grew more and more trusting of Grand Emperor Igneous, he sent Grand Emperor Igneous to handle many clandestine matters. Meanwhile, Igneous gradually learned about the core secrets of Grand Emperor North Mountain.

As expected, the rumors were true. The relationship between Grand Emperor North Mountain and the North River Divine King was very unusual.

Now, Grand Emperor Igneous had finally gotten what he wanted. If he could get Grand Emperor North Mountain to bring him to meet the North River Divine King, it would mean that he had already become Grand Emperor North Mountain’s trusted aide.

At that time, he would have a chance of inviting the North River Divine King to deal with the matter personally.

Others might fear the Divine Palace of Bemond, but the North River Divine King did not!

Only the North River Divine King could succeed in completely eliminating the Grand Emperor of Annihilation without accident, and avenge Grand Emperor Guxi.

Grand Emperor Igneous had waited too long for this day. Now, dawn had arrived.

“Lodestone Domain!”

Soon, they arrived at the Lodestone Domain. Grand Emperor Igneous’s gaze was cold. This matter must be done well!

Rumble.

Grand Emperor Igneous used a combat body of one light-year and slammed his huge hand towards the Lodestone Domain.

The cosmic array that the Lodestone Domain had just set up was instantly shattered. All the cultivators on the planets of the Lodestone Domain were incomparably terrified.

A Grand Emperor. Without a doubt, this was another Grand Emperor!

“Dominus Lodestone, come out!”

Grand Emperor Igneous’s voice spread throughout the entire Lodestone Domain. Under the deterrence of a Grand Emperor, Dominus Lodestone could only come in front of Grand Emperor Igneous in fear.

“Greetings, Grand Emperor Igneous!”

Dominus Lodestone had no choice but to yield. As expected, his guess was right. Grand Emperor North Mountain had really taken action, and he had sent Grand Emperor Igneous directly. This was enough to show how much importance Grand Emperor North Mountain attached to North Mountain Jag.

“Do you know why I’m here?”

“I do, I do!”

How could Dominus Lodestone not know? Now that North Mountain Jag was dead, and Grand Emperor North Mountain had sent Grand Emperor Igneous over, the stance was enough let Dominus Lodestone see Grand Emperor North Mountain’s goal.

“In that case, tell me, how did North Mountain Jag die?”

Grand Emperor Igneous folded his hands behind his back and asked coldly.

Dominus Lodestone looked at Grand Emperor Igneous, then at the Lodestone Domain. He gritted his teeth and said, “Grand Emperor Igneous, you should know that the Lodestone Domain does not have the ability to kill North Mountain Jag. If I tell you the true identity of North Mountain Jag’s killer, can you spare the Lodestone Domain?”

“Tell me!”

Grand Emperor Igneous did not want to waste his breath.

“If you don’t agree, please forgive me for not daring to say it!”

Grand Emperor Igneous did not say anything else. He grabbed a few planets in the Lodestone Domain and squeezed hard.

Boom.

A few planets were instantly crushed. The billions of lives on them suffered an undeserved calamity and were directly reduced to cosmic dust.

Dominus Lodestone’s face was pale. His entire body was trembling.

“Last chance.”

Grand Emperor Igneous stared coldly at Dominus Lodestone. A mere Venerable wanted to negotiate terms with him?

Seeing Grand Emperor Igneous casually crush several territorial planets with billions of lives on them, all of whom were his people, Dominus Lodestone’s entire body trembled violently. At this point, all his will collapsed instantly.

“It’s the Grand Emperor of Annihilation!”

“Wait, who did you say was North Mountain Jag’s killer?”

“It’s the Grand Emperor of Annihilation, Lin Feng…”

Hearing the confirmation from Dominus Lodestone once more, Grand Emperor Igneous was stunned.

“Hahaha…”

Grand Emperor Igneous suddenly threw his head back and laughed aloud. His laughter was so hearty that tears seemed about to fall. All the grievances of the past seemed to have dissolved in this laughter at once.

In order to deal with Lin Feng, Grand Emperor Igneous had done practically everything he could. He had even endured for countless years, working under Grand Emperor North Mountain without complaint. He looked like a humble servant, rather than a dignified Grand Emperor.

Why had he endured for so long? Wasn’t it just to ask Grand Emperor North Mountain to bring him to the North River Divine King, and ask the North River Divine King to attack personally?

But what had happened now?

There was not even a need for Grand Emperor Igneous to ask the North River Divine King for help. Lin Feng had offended Grand Emperor North Mountain by killing him North Mountain Jag. Grand Emperor North Mountain would personally take action. Even if Grand Emperor North Mountain failed, there was still the North River Divine King.

This was simply… an unexpected windfall. This could not help but make Grand Emperor Igneous incomparably excited. After enduring humiliation for so many years, his wish was about to be fulfilled. How could he not be elated?

“Grand Emperor Igneous, the one who killed North Mountain Jag was the Grand Emperor of Annihilation. It has nothing to do with our Lodestone Domain. Please show mercy.”

Dominus Lodestone begged Grand Emperor Igneous to be magnanimous and let the Lodestone Domain off.

Grand Emperor Igneous was in a wonderful mood, but a strange smile appeared on his lips. “By Grand Emperor North Mountain’s decree, I hereby erase the Lodestone Domain!”

“No…”

Dominus Lodestone’s eyes widened abruptly. His voice was hoarse, but it was useless.

Grand Emperor Igneous’s huge palm grabbed lightly, and the entire Lodestone Domain was captured by him. He squeezed directly.

Boom.

Including Dominus Lodestone, the Lodestone Domain was instantly wiped out and reduced to cosmic dust. Not a trace of it was left in the cosmos.
