Strongest War Emperor

The Third Prince Tantai Lanshan’s Cultivation was at the King Martial Realm First Heaven.

But when faced with two King Martial Realm Fifth Heaven powerhouses from the White Bone Hall, not only was he fearless, but when a blood-red character for ”Demon” appeared on his forehead, his aura surged. The immense pressure completely suppressed the two King Martial Realm Fifth Heaven powerhouses!

The two from the White Bone Hall dropped to one knee, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, whether from excitement or fear.

The Third Prince snorted coldly. ”Shen Lang must be dealt with, but definitely not before entering the Yumu Cave Blessed Land.”

”It should be after we enter the Yumu Cave Blessed Land!”

”Did Dingdang fail to communicate the instructions from above clearly, or did you just take matters into your own hands and mess things up?”

”I have a blood feud with Shen Lang. I want him dead more than you do, but have you seen me make any rash moves?”

”A bunch of trash!”

Under the Third Prince’s reprimand, the two powerhouses from the White Bone Hall trembled even more violently.

The backs of their robes were faintly damp with sweat; they were drenched in a cold sweat from fear...

Anyone from that place was an earth-shattering existence.

Even though the Third Prince’s Cultivation was only at the King Martial Realm First Heaven, the moment he revealed the symbol of that place, every powerhouse in the White Bone Hall could only bow their heads in submission before him!

In their minds, Xue Dangdang came from that place, and so did the Third Prince...

It was a powerful existence that truly dominated the entire Human Realm!

The Third Prince gave the two a detached glance and spoke coldly, ”The Thirty-Six Great Cave Heavens and Seventy-Two Small Blessed Lands vanished for ten thousand years, and now it seems they are reappearing one by one. Legend says these Pocket World Blessed Lands are legacies passed down from the Upper Realm Divine Demons. Over countless millennia, they have more or less collected some Elemental Power Fragments.”

”Our objective this time is simple: enter the Yumu Cave Blessed Land and investigate any possible traces of Elemental Power Fragments!”

”My master has no fewer than ten Legendary Powers under his command, and countless Dark Gold Level Influences... If Dingdang hadn’t found the Celestial Defying Demon Realm amusing and given your White Bone Hall a chance, do you think such a good opportunity would have ever fallen to you?”

”Shen Lang’s Cultivation is strange, bordering on the King Martial Realm, and he has someone like Zombie Emperor Duanmu Xie under his command. You think you can get revenge with just the few of you? What a bunch of morons!”

The Third Prince’s tone was not particularly fierce, but every word he spoke was like a deafening thunderclap to the two from the White Bone Hall, leaving them soaked in cold sweat and shivering incessantly.

”We were wrong! Please... please forgive us, Your Highness, and grant us your guidance!”

The two White Bone Hall powerhouses bowed their heads low and kowtowed three times to the Third Prince, their foreheads hitting the floor with loud thuds.

A glint flashed in the Third Prince’s eyes as he said nonchalantly, ”Go back and plan properly for the Yumu Cave Blessed Land. The opportunity lies within.”

”First, once inside the Yumu Cave Blessed Land, launch an all-out attack. Eliminate everyone from the Sect Influences related to Shen Lang and deal him a fatal blow... This is something your White Bone Hall can accomplish with ease.”

”Shen Lang may be strong, but he can’t be everyone’s bodyguard.”

”And second...”

At this, a cruel smile crept onto the corner of the Third Prince’s mouth.

The two from the White Bone Hall paused, unable to stop themselves from looking up.

They heard the Third Prince continue, ”With Shen Lang’s current Cultivation, he definitely won’t be able to enter the Yumu Cave Blessed Land as an ordinary disciple. He will most likely enter the area designated for the King Martial Realm.”

”Whatever his purpose, the areas accessible to the King Martial Realm are riddled with perilous grounds, swarming with Demon Beasts, and filled with Restrictions everywhere. It’s incredibly dangerous! We can easily use the dangers of the Yumu Cave Blessed Land against him and ensure he dies without a proper burial!”

”Brilliant! Your Highness’s plan is truly brilliant!” The two White Bone Hall powerhouses gave him a thumbs-up.

The Third Prince chuckled and added, ”Right, Dingdang and I are here for more or less the same purpose. But Dingdang is too playful and doesn’t much care for things like Elemental Power Fragments. If you discover anything in that regard, contact me at the first opportunity. Understood?”

”Yes, rest assured, Your Highness. We understand what to do!” The two powerhouses from the White Bone Hall immediately patted their chests, pledging their loyalty.

The Third Prince waved his hand. ”Alright, go.”

After the two from the White Bone Hall vanished from the hall as Shadows, a cold smirk appeared on the Third Prince’s lips. ’What insolent rat, overestimating its own strength!’

His palm rotated, drawing a circle in the air before he flicked a finger toward the corner on his right!

”POP!”

A wisp of Finger Wind shot out like an arrow with a sharp, piercing sound!

In the previously empty corner, a figure wearing pitch-black Armor and an Evil Ghost Mask materialized.

The person clapped their hands together, then quickly pulled them apart. In a flash, a round Ice Mirror formed in front of them!

”BANG!”

The Third Prince’s sharp Finger Wind instantly pierced the Ice Mirror and slammed heavily into the person’s chest!

In that instant, a barrier of light erupted from the black Armor, just barely blocking the Finger Wind that had penetrated the Ice Mirror.

Even so, most of the finger’s power still passed through and struck his body.

”PUH!”

The person in Black Armor spat out a mouthful of blood as his body was sent flying backward, crashing hard against the wall!

The impact caused stones from the wall to RUMBLE down.

”Phecda Star, open!”

The moment the man’s body hit the wall, he let out a soft cry, and his aura suddenly surged!

At the same time, he abruptly kicked off with his right foot. Amidst the sound of an air explosion, his body shot rapidly to the right. Using an impossibly fast and bizarre Step Technique, he flickered twice, passed through the long corridor, and vanished outside the hall!

The Third Prince looked up, slightly surprised. ’Just a mere Xuanwu Realm Cultivation, yet not only did he survive my Silent Extinction Netherworld Finger, his aura and speed actually skyrocketed... Tantai Xuanmo doesn’t have a powerhouse like this under his command, does he?’

’Hmph. The Silent Extinction Netherworld Finger guides you to the Yellow Springs. Anyone below the King Martial Realm Third Heaven will die within three days, even if they’re only grazed by a sliver of its power!’

The ”Silent Extinction Netherworld Finger” was one of the Secret Skills created by Candle Dragon himself.

The cultivator had to possess a Supreme Yin Body and then absorb the purest Netherworld Qi in an Extremely Yin Land in a suicidal manner to successfully learn it.

During this process, one must endure the agony of ten thousand ghosts devouring their soul and the torment of having their soul refined by the Yellow Springs, all while constantly risking complete Soul Scattering.

Candle Dragon had tens of millions of powerhouses under his command, but not even one in ten thousand possessed this Physique.

And among those qualified to cultivate this Finger Technique, successful ones were practically nonexistent!

Xu Daolin was one of them.

If Xu Daolin hadn’t passed this trial and cultivated the ”Silent Extinction Netherworld Finger” to the second layer, Candle Dragon wouldn’t have valued him so highly, using an Elemental Power Fragment to raise his Cultivation to the King Martial Realm.

However, the name Xu Daolin was long a thing of the past.

Now, his name was Tantai Lanshan, the Third Prince of the Purple Chu Country!

The Third Prince was certain that the man in Black Armor would die after being hit by the ”Silent Extinction Netherworld Finger,” so he had no intention of sending anyone to pursue him.

At that moment, the person who had been struck by the ”Silent Extinction Netherworld Finger” was streaking across the sky above the Imperial Palace at the fastest speed of his life, desperately fleeing into the distance!

Although the Third Prince didn’t give any orders, the powerhouses guarding the surroundings spotted the figure and immediately gave chase!

The sky was filled with the continuous sound of something breaking the sky, punctuated by incessant shouts and curses.

The man hit by the ”Silent Extinction Netherworld Finger” was fast, but the Imperial Palace was a forbidden ground teeming with powerhouses. How could anyone just come and go as they pleased?

In just one or two minutes, Xuanwu Realm Powerhouses rose into the air from all directions.

It was as if a great net was closing in on him!

Just then, a fair, slender hand suddenly reached down from the night sky, pressing down with a simple motion!

The palm strike seemed simple, but it carried the sound of wind and thunder, forcing the crowd of Xuanwu Realm Powerhouses to retreat in terror!

Those who couldn’t dodge in time were sent tumbling by the powerful air currents, knocked completely senseless.

At that moment, a breach finally appeared in the great net!

The hand instantly snatched up the person in Black Armor and pulled him upward.

”Who dares to cause trouble in the Imperial Palace!”

An aged, scolding voice echoed from the void, and a withered, ghost-like hand shot upward with a sharp, piercing sound and incredible speed to grab him!

The moment this withered hand appeared, the entire sky above the Imperial Palace roared with thunder as winds and clouds churned!

”It’s a King Martial Realm powerhouse from the Royal Family!” someone murmured from the darkness.

Just then, a black figure wearing a golden mask appeared out of thin air in front of the withered hand. His long saber left its sheath, and he slashed down in a blur of lightning!

”The Immortal Celestial Saber? It’s Shen Lang!”

The various powerhouses observing from the shadows were shocked.

The Imperial Capital had been stable for many years, but ever since Shen Lang’s arrival, there hadn’t been a moment of peace.

Before, it was outside the Imperial Palace, on the edge of the Imperial Capital.

Now, he’d taken the chaos directly to the skies above the Imperial Palace...

As everyone grimaced, the Sword Qi from the Immortal Celestial Saber, filled with an endless sense of death and desolation, tore a long scar across the night sky. Like a Celestial River, it crashed down upon the massive hand!

The power of that single slash was Earth-Shattering!

As the Powerful Qi howled, it was as if the furious thunder of the nine heavens had exploded in the air, a sound that struck fear deep into the hearts of all who heard it.

Shen Lang’s body rose another hundred feet. He merely glanced down silently, then flickered and vanished into the night sky.

Down below, the Royal Family’s King Martial Realm powerhouse, having suffered this silent defeat, chose to endure it without a word, as if nothing had happened at all...

This unusual commotion had come suddenly and ended just as abruptly.

The night returned to its silence.

At this time, high in the void, Shen Lang had already rejoined the other two.

Zhuge Xian’Er, sitting in her wheelchair, had both hands pressed against the back of the man in Black Armor, healing him.

The two of them were shrouded in a black mist, from which came the wails of ten thousand ghosts, as if they had already sunk deep into Yellow Springs Hell!

With a beat of the wings on his back, Shen Lang flew down beside them. He reached out a single palm, and all the churning black mist in the area converged toward his hand before being completely absorbed.

”Who was it that injured Ying Huo?”

The one who had been spying on the Third Prince and was struck by the ”Silent Extinction Netherworld Finger” was none other than the War Wolf Commander who had followed Zhuge Xian’Er to the Imperial Capital, Ying Huo!
