"What, Ye Xuan... it's actually you!"
Upon seeing the approaching figure, King Yama was clearly terrified, his heart churning with immense upheaval.
How could this be!
How could it be that young man? How could he possess something superior to an Ancestor-level spaceship? King Yama simply couldn't comprehend it, no matter how hard he tried.
Of course, he was unaware that it had cost Ye Xuan a hundred thousand Galaxy Coins to upgrade the Pyramid spaceship from Ancestor-level to Immortal-level, which was no small sum.
"What?"
"King Yama, it's been many days, have you not recognized me?"
A calm and breezy voice echoed. At this moment, King Yama was merely an ant in his eyes, one that could be crushed at any moment. Not so long ago, King Yama was someone he had to look up to.
"Ye Xuan!!!"
Enemies meeting, their eyes burning with hatred. Immediately, King Yama's killing intent surged towards the heavens. "After searching high and low, I found you effortlessly."
"Since we've met, you shall die!!"
As the words fell, King Yama showed no restraint, charging at Ye Xuan with his Ancestor-level longsword. Such a monstrous offensive was something even a sixth-tier Venerable would not dare to face head-on.
After all, King Yama, as one of the Eight Kings of the Loulan Empire, was not just a title.
However...
Looking at Ye Xuan, who was charging with a terrifying offensive from afar, he slightly raised his right hand and slapped out across the void.
In the next moment, a monstrous energy palm, crackling with lightning, instantly sent King Yama flying. Lightning raged, King Yama's pupils widened, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His figure had been flung dozens of feet away.
"Peak Sixth-tier Venerable!"
King Yama was horrified to discover that Ye Xuan's strength was now even greater than his. No, it was even at a level he had to look up to.
This is a joke?
Although he was now at the peak of the fifth-tier Venerable, he knew very well that it would take decades, even centuries, to reach the sixth-tier Emperor realm, let alone the peak of the sixth-tier Venerable.
"Pfft~ Cough cough~!!"
King Yama continued to spit blood, but he paid no mind to it. Instead, he stared fixedly at Ye Xuan, his eyes filled with disbelief. "How is this possible!?"
What!
Peak Sixth-tier Venerable!!
Hearing King Yama's words, the Marquis of Zhenshan and the Marquis of Dingbei turned ashen. King Yama's instant defeat in the arena had already explained everything.
"Escape!"
Without a moment's hesitation, the Marquis of Zhenshan and the Marquis of Dingbei immediately fled. They completely disregarded King Yama's opinion.
This is a joke?
What was their opinion or impression worth? Under the threat of death, these things were utterly insignificant.
Moreover!
They also understood very well that King Yama was in for a world of trouble this time.
Chiss~
Chiss~~
The Marquis of Zhenshan and the Marquis of Dingbei had not fled far before two sharp, steel-needle-like silk threads pierced their hearts, instantly draining all the energy from their bodies. After all, Little Cai was now at the peak of the eighth-tier Venerable, only one step away from the ninth-tier Venerable.
To be honest, minor characters like the Marquis of Zhenshan and the Marquis of Dingbei were not even worthy of her making a move. This was no exaggeration.
Thump~
Two corpses fell into the void. Witnessing this scene, King Yama's soul fled his body. He looked at the stunning woman beside Ye Xuan with immense terror and fear, involuntarily swallowing his saliva. "So strong!"
"This woman's strength... is even greater than that scoundrel!!"
At this moment, King Yama realized that he had been the clown all along.
Chiss~~
While King Yama was stunned, before he could even regain his senses, a lightning bolt that traversed space instantly pierced his brow. The raging lightning instantly destroyed his brain. In his final moments, King Yama's eyes widened, filled with utter horror.
He never expected to die in such a humiliating way. Of course, if he had known that even the foremost throne of the Lanling Empire, King Lieshan, had been eliminated by Little Cai, one could only imagine his reaction.
After eliminating King Yama, everything in the Star River Empire seemed to return to peace.
Ye Xuan returned to Planet Atlantea in his Immortal-level spaceship. Ilif and the others, with the help of Ye Xuan's various resources, broke through their cultivation realms frequently, their admiration and worship for Ye Xuan deepening even further.
Time flowed by like this...
Until one day!
The Emperor of the Longyang Empire, Long Baye, was enraged and issued a Longyang Assembly Order, commanding all strong individuals belonging to the Longyang Empire to report to the Longyang Empire.
The reason was none other than the Loulan Empire and the Loulan Empire colluding to frame and cause the demise of the Scarlet Flame Throne, one of the twelve thrones of the Longyang Empire!
This act was undoubtedly a declaration of war against the Longyang Empire!
And the person who caused the demise of the Scarlet Flame Throne was the Charming King of the Loulan Empire!
As the foremost of the Eight Kings of the Loulan Empire and a trusted confidant of the Loulan Emperor, this, in a sense, also meant that the Loulan Emperor had instigated it.
Under such circumstances, how could Long Baye not be enraged!!
The voice of Long Baye immediately resounded throughout the entire Longyang planet. "The Loulan Empire has killed our God of War, the Scarlet Flame Throne. This revenge is irreconcilable. I shall personally lead an expedition in five days!!"
"To comfort the spirit of the Scarlet Flame Throne in heaven!!!"
When an emperor rages, millions of heads will roll. To this end, Long Baye initiated a series of actions. First and foremost, he imprisoned the Empress Zhao Lingyun in the palace, albeit secretly. The Imperial Palace was immediately placed under strict martial law, and no one, including the princes, was allowed to enter or exit.
However, even so, Long Baye could not find peace of mind. He even had the previous Longyang Emperor, his father, stationed in the Imperial Palace to guard against any unforeseen events.
In an instant, all ten super-empires were shaken. Was the balance between empires, maintained for thousands of years, about to be shattered?
On this day, Ye Xuan, who was watching his disciples engage in spirited sparring in the training grounds, also received a personal telepathic message from Long Bayu, the foremost of the twelve thrones of the Longyang Empire. The message was none other than an invitation for him to return to the Longyang Empire and prepare for war with the Loulan Empire.
"Ding! The host has triggered a random mission: Kill 30,000 cultivators above the Venerable realm, gain fame throughout the Galaxy Empire, and receive 1,000,000 Galaxy Coins, with a bonus Time-Space Disc! (Note: The Time-Space Disc allows the user to perfectly fuse the powers of time and space into the power of time-space)."
Hoo~!
Upon hearing the system's voice, Ye Xuan's spirits truly soared. A Time-Space Disc, what a marvelous item, capable of perfectly fusing time and space abilities into the power of time-space.
Without hesitation, Ye Xuan agreed to depart for the Loulan planet of the Loulan Empire in a few days. Little did anyone know what kind of tempest Ye Xuan's journey to the Loulan planet would stir up.
