Chapter 989: Taking Turns

‘When…’

The Sea Monarch’s countenance turned extremely grim, and he took a long look at Tyrant, drawing in a cold gasp inwardly.

Ever since the world’s metamorphosis, he had been gathering all sorts of resources from the ten overseas countries, putting all his effort into striving to attain breakthroughs. Now, he felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his cultivation in his lifetime and was confident that he would not lose out much to the many top notch experts on the land. He even felt that he might be superior to them.

Therefore, upon hearing the news of the Divine Sun Emperor, he came out from his seclusion, wanting to make use of his strength to get a share of this fortunate encounter and increase his chance to attain a breakthrough for tier six of the Divine level.

He also wanted to meet the top notch experts on this land, spreading his name across the world and letting others know of his reputation as the ruler of the four seas.

The Sea Monarch had initially wanted to challenge Sword Overlord Fang Xingjian as well. He had not expected that on the first time he made his move, he would be evenly matched with Fang Xingjian’s subordinate and that his subordinate was dealt serious injuries as well. It could be said that they had lost by a notch.

‘Just a subordinate alone is so powerful? Then how strong is Fang Xingjian himself? And how strong would those Mage Association’s Mage King as well as the Church of Universal Truth’s Guardian Kings and Saints be?’ At the thought of this, the Sea Monarch’s heart began to tremble.

“We’ve been presumptuous,” he said, cupping his hands together. “Lord Tyrant, was it? We’re much obliged for your guidance.”

At the next moment, he opened his mouth and sucked in the endless amount of seawater and army of several ten thousand warriors in one breath. He had clearly put them away into his Divine Weapon. Then, with a flash, he landed on the stone platform that hosted the many participants from overseas countries.

After seeing through with all these, Tyrant—who was in the sky—remained emotionless as he threw a glance toward everyone in the square. Wherever his gaze passed by, the people would be silent like cicadas in winter. The warning and threat in his eyes were very clear.

With a cold snort, Tyrant took a step out and landed on a stone platform.

That stone platform could be said to be the biggest amongst all of the platforms and was the one that floated at the very center of the square. It was also the position catered for the Empire. Before Tyrant’s arrival, there were already a few of the Empire’s officials standing there.

Seeing Tyrant’s landing, the few officials smiled and walked up to him.

“Lord Tyrant’s cultivation is becoming increasingly polished.”

“This time around, you’ve taught these overseas monkeys a lesson, raising our Empire’s great reputation.”

“Enough,” Tyrant waved his hand and said coldly, “Stop with the bootlicking. What are you guys doing here? You, the Knight Association’s Deputy Chief and the Royal Academy’s Headmaster, aren’t doing your job but are staying here to watch a show?”

The few officials instantly became very nervous. As Tyrant waved his hand, they retreated, leaving him to stand on the stone platform by himself. Tyrant’s gaze would occasionally sweep out toward the various influences on the stone platforms. No one knew what he was thinking.

Just then, another two bright moons lit up in the sky. The two Divine level experts—Blue Sacred Moonlight and Lan Yue—had arrived.

Under the lead of the two ladies dressed in white, over ten beautiful young ladies with wonderful figures landed from the sky. They landed on a stone platform like fairies that had descended from the heavens, attracting the gazes of countless male Knights.

Then a stream of overwhelming flames lit up in the west. The flames instantly turned into a path of flames that cut across the sky, measuring several ten thousand kilometers in distance. The Sacred Fire Order’s Patriarch led a group of his members and also landed on a stone platform in the blink of an eye.

The moment the Sacred Fire Order’s Patriarch arrived, he headed up to Tyrant and smiled. He greeted Tyrant, “Lord Commander, it has been a long time since we last met. Ever since we parted at the desert last month, your cultivation has become even more polished again.”

Having experienced Fang Xingjian’s ferocious powers, the tremendous rate of Tyrant’s and the others’ improvement, and sensing the increasingly intense reputation the Sword Overlord had in the south, the Sacred Fire Order’s Patriarch had pledged their unwavering allegiance to the Empire. He even wanted to get into a good relationship with the Fourth Prince, Tyrant, and the others so that he could hold on tightly to Fang Xingjian.

Seeing the Sacred Fire Order’s Patriarch, Tyrant nodded. “It has been hard on the Patriarch during this period of time. There are many people harboring ulterior motives in the Divine Treasures Meeting this time around, and you’ll have to go to a lot of trouble for this.”

The Sacred Fire Order’s Patriarch smiled and shook his head. “Sigh, what I deal with are just trifling matters. Everything is still owed to Lord Commander’s East Military Execution Order for calming the world, wiping out traitors, and returning peace to the Empire.”

At the next moment, a stream of sword Qi soared into the air from the Imperial Capital’s palace. The sword Qi was eerie and extremely cold. Seemingly containing waves of deathly Qi from hell, it gave off a chill that came from the depths of one heart and sank down to one’s bones. Many experts’ foreheads twitched non-stop, having the feeling as if their lives were not under their control and were seething to jump out from their bodies.

It was as if a single sword attack had contained the entire hell.

As the sword Qi descended onto the stone platform, the Fourth Prince’s and Prince Philip’s appearances were revealed.

The Fourth Prince looked at Tyrant and the Sacred Fire Order’s Patriarch, smiling as he and said, “It’s the Patriarch and Tyrant. The two of you must have been waiting for a very long while.”

Tyrant did not say anything, but the Sacred Fire Order’s Patriarch smiled and got closer. “Paying greetings to the Fourth Prince 1 and Lord Philip.”

“Patriarch is too polite,” the Fourth Prince said. “Right now, the desert has only just settled down and the Patriarch will still need to put in more effort to manage it.”

“It’s something I should be doing.”

Philip threw a glance at Tyrant, whose expression was cold as ice and was emitting a strong killing intent. He sighed inwardly.

Ever since Tyrant took charge of the East Military Execution Order, he had wiped out many clans and sects, and the killing intent he emitted got increasingly intense. Additionally, Tyrant was not a good person to begin with, and his character had now become worse. Even Philip felt uncomfortable when he sensed Tyrant’s killing intent.

On the stone platform that accomodated members from the various overseas countries, the Sea Monarch’s countenance turned increasingly grim at the sight of the Divine level experts who kept on appearing in succession. Through his Sudden Inspiration senses, he could feel that the Blue Sacred Moonlight, Lan Yue, Sacred Fire Order’s Patriarch, the Fourth Prince, and Prince Philip were all very troublesome characters to deal with. They even gave off a slightly discernible aura that they were all at tier five of the Divine level.

He looked toward the members of royalty from the overseas countries who were standing next to him and asked, “These people are all subordinates of the Empire’s Fang Xingjian?”

“That’s right. They should be the strongest Divine level experts under Fang Xingjian. It’s said that they have all reached tier five of the Divine level. We have no idea what magic Fang Xingjian has. Other than the Sacred Fire Order’s Patriarch, none of the others had reached tier five of the Divine level three months ago.”

Upon hearing this, the Sea Monarch’s countenance turned even grimmer. There was only one thought in his mind, ‘If the Empire alone is already so powerful, then how terrifying are the Mage Association and the Church of Universal Truth?’

He suddenly felt crestfallen. ‘There are too many experts on the land. It seems that our overseas countries will still be unable to extend our influence toward the land…’
