Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day!
At the crack of dawn, no less than hundreds of thousands of people had gathered on the Stellar Planet, all for one important reason: today was the day.
The Star River Emperor, Mo Junlin, was to publicly execute the Eighth Prince of the Sirius Empire!
This news, having brewed for three days, had already reached countless factions. The reason for the hundreds of thousands of spectators was to witness the Star River Emperor's audacious act.
"This is truly insane. The Star River Emperor is quite brave!"
"Indeed. The Eighth Prince of the Sirius Empire is the most favored son of Emperor Ba. Killing this Eighth Prince today won't be easy!"
"Heh, if nothing unexpected happens, Emperor Ba will surely show up. There will likely be a fierce battle then."
"Damn it, who cares! We're just here to watch the show. Who wins or loses has nothing to do with us!"
.........
Even before the execution began, the hundreds of thousands of spectators from various factions were already buzzing with heated discussions. The weakest among them were Great Emperors of the eighth rank. One could only imagine the spectacle of hundreds of thousands of such powerhouses converging here.
"Look! It's starting!"
At a certain moment, a voice echoed through the crowd of hundreds of thousands. Then, on the vast execution platform, figures began to appear. At the center of the platform was none other than the Star River Emperor, Mo Junlin.
To his right stood the Fourth Ancestor of the Mo family, with Mo Yu by his side. To Mo Junlin's left was a young man, Ye Xuan, the newly appointed King Ye of the Star River Empire. Standing beside him was none other than the Third Prince of the Star River Empire, Mo Xuan You.
"Whoosh~~"
Unaccustomed to such a grand scene, Mo Xuan You couldn't help but sigh. Mo Junlin glanced at his third son, unconcerned, considering it a form of tempering for him.
"What, already nervous?"
Ye Xuan sensed the breathing of his third disciple and asked.
"Cough... a little, Master."
Mo Xuan You coughed lightly. Since learning of the great benefits Ye Xuan had bestowed upon him, Mo Xuan You had grudgingly acknowledged him as his master. This was especially true after he learned that his master had already reached the ninth rank of Great Emperor.
He hadn't witnessed his master's majestic display in the previous great battle, but this time, he was sure to feast his eyes!
"King Ye."
Mo Junlin looked at the hundreds of thousands of experts from various factions below and turned to Ye Xuan, "Later, Xuan You will be in your care."
"Your Majesty need not worry."
Hearing Mo Junlin's words, Ye Xuan smiled faintly, "With me here, no one will harm him."
His calm words resonated in Mo Junlin's ears. He nodded silently. Mo Xuan You looked at his master standing before him, his eyes flickering slightly. For the first time, he felt the same sense of security from his master, whom he had only known for three days, as he did from his own father.
Mo Junlin nodded to Mo Yu. Mo Yu flashed into the arena, "Bring the prisoners!"
"The Eighth Prince of the Sirius Empire, and his maternal clan!"
As the voice fell, Dai Liubai and the guest elders then brought the Eighth Prince of the Sirius Empire, Di Lin, and his party to the execution platform.
Di Lin, his face contorted with ferocity and malice, spat, "Mo Junlin, my father will leave not a single soul alive in your Star River Empire!!"
Di Lin's maternal grandfather and the others remained silent, but their faces were filled with indignation.
"Presumptuous!!!"
Mo Yu, seeing the son of his brother's killer before him, wished he could immediately crush him. The peak aura of a ninth-rank Great Emperor surged forth, and he unleashed a palm strike. Then...
Puff~
Puff~ Puff~~
Including Di Lin, all the prisoners to be executed spat blood and collapsed, their faces as pale as paper.
"Star River Empire, how dare you!!!"
At this very moment, a voice boomed from the heavens. The next instant, a figure materialized in the air. The newcomer was none other than Emperor Ba. Not far behind him stood three beings of immense power, clearly three peak ninth-rank Great Emperors.
"Father!!"
Di Lin, seeing his father in the sky, his eyes filled with hope. Di Lin's maternal grandfather and the others sneered, wondering how the Star River Emperor would handle this.
"Old Eighth, rest assured."
"With me here, I'd like to see how Mo Junlin dares to kill you!!"
As Emperor Ba's voice faded, the three peak ninth-rank Great Emperors simultaneously attacked the arena. The attention of the hundreds of thousands of onlookers turned to the execution platform.
"To touch my Sirius Empire's Eighth Prince, you seek death!!!"
The three peak ninth-rank Great Emperors instantly reached the execution platform. However, just as they were about to succeed.
Zzala~~
Thunderbolts surged, and a thunder spear descended from the heavens, slamming directly onto the execution platform with a deafening roar, forcefully blocking the path of the three peak ninth-rank Great Emperors. Then, a figure appeared in the arena.
Following him, the Ice River Beast clone and the Elf clone, clad in black robes, along with Meng Tianfang and Liu Tian, appeared on Ye Xuan's sides. The aura radiating from them was no less than that of the three peak ninth-rank Great Emperors. Although their cultivation levels were slightly lower, their combat power was on par.
Emperor Ba of the Sirius Empire, hovering in the air, his face darkened, "King Ye, you are courting death!!"
*Clap clap clap~~*
Just then, a crisp sound of applause echoed through the arena. Then, a figure emerged in the sky. The newcomer was, shockingly, also a Venerable-level expert. Upon seeing him, everyone's pupils contracted sharply, "What!"
"Emperor of the Yu Heng Empire, Qian Dongtian!!"
Seeing the newcomer, the hundreds of thousands of onlookers changed color. Emperor Qian Dongtian of the Yu Heng Empire was an established Venerable-level expert. Over a hundred years ago, he had already reached the Venerable realm. No one knew his current strength.
"Qian Dongtian!?"
Seeing the arrival, Mo Junlin's expression became grave. Furthermore, it wasn't just Qian Dongtian who had come, but also seven peak third-rank Great Emperor experts under his command.
"Are you sure you want to intervene!"
Undoubtedly, Qian Dongtian's actions had crossed Mo Junlin's bottom line.
Mo Junlin's decision to kill Di Lin was entirely for revenge for his father. Anyone who stood in his way was his enemy.
"Heh heh, Star River Emperor, I believe it would be best for both our nations to maintain peace. Please release Prince Di Lin, and I will lead my troops to depart immediately."
Saying this, Emperor Qian Dongtian of the Yu Heng Empire added, "By the way, Emperor Junlin, outside the Stellar Planet, there are a total of over a million experts of third-rank Great Emperor and above from the Yu Heng Empire and the Sirius Empire. If the Star River Empire stubbornly persists..."
"You will have to bear the consequences yourself."
*Swish!!*
At this moment, all eyes were fixed on Mo Junlin. This was a ruthless move.
"Yu Heng Empire, good! Very good!!"
Immediately, Mo Junlin's Venerable aura surged, causing Emperor Ba and Qian Dongtian to pause. However, the killing intent in their eyes intensified. This Mo Junlin had to die.
