Shangguan Fei's wide-open, hollow eyes radiated the absolute terror he experienced in the final seconds of his life.
"IMPOSSIBLE... FEI'ER!"
Shangguan Hong's roar tore through the morning sky of the Heavenly Cloud Capital. The sound did not resemble a human being.

CHAPTER 185: A Dark Alliance Upon the Throne
The night wind blew fiercely across the highest balcony of the East Palace and carried a bone-chilling cold. Crown Prince Zhao Long stood like a statue by the carved stone railing. His golden silk robes flapped violently. His gaze pierced straight through the darkness toward the eastern horizon where the Kuanyin Empire was located.In his right hand, Zhao Long gripped an old piece of parchment. The edges were yellowed and brittle. It was no ordinary document. It was a secret letter he had found buried beneath his late grandfather's private archives.Zhao Long's fingers rubbed against the dried blood ink on the paper."Power built upon family betrayal will always suspect its own flesh and blood," Zhao Long thought coldly.The contents of the letter were absolute proof of his father's past sins. For decades, imperial history stated that his uncle, the legitimate previous Emperor Zhao Meng, had died of
CHAPTER 184: The Demon Emperor's Ego
The screams echoing from three different corners of the cave slowly faded away. They were swallowed by the absolute silence at the deepest point of the Ancient Dragon Cave. At the end of this dark and suffocating tunnel, the granite walls radiated dark red veins that pulsed like a giant heart. The primal Qi in this place was so dense it made the air feel like a thick liquid choking the throat.Xiao Chen stopped walking. The damp cave wind blew against his black robes. His hair, which had now turned completely white, fluttered softly to cover part of his face. He stood alone. In front of him was only an empty circular space bordered by solid rock.The Demon Emperor raised his right hand. With a single flick of his finger, five hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones looted from the capital shot out from his storage ring. The stones hovered in the air and radiated a blinding, deep blue light. They then fell and pierced into the rocky ground with a ma
Chapter 183: The Golden Jade Forging Array
Xiao Chen's laughter roared wildly, crashing against the ancient stone walls at the bottom of the Ancient Dragon Cave. His hair was now white. It was an absolute price paid from burning decades of his lifespan when slaughtering Shangguan Hong. It fluttered softly, blown by the hot wind emanating from the lava pool in the distance.The Demonic Emperor covered part of his face with one hand, trying hard to muffle his stomach muscles that vibrated because of this dark comedy. In front of him, Lei Tie stood tall. The one-armed veteran general, who only had a mortal cultivation at the Third-Rate Realm, stared at him without blinking, completely unaffected by the mocking laughter.Slowly, Xiao Chen's laughter subsided. He lowered his hand. His eyes, as dark as a bottomless abyss, once again radiated absolute coldness."This crippled old man is truly tired of living," Xiao Chen thought cynically as he scanned Lei Tie's physical
Chapter 182: The Old General's Request
The shrill screams of the Weeping Demon and his three brothers now joined Lei Jingtian's hoarse roars. That ancient underground cave passage had truly turned into a miniature version of the nine hells. The air around it felt sticky, boiling from the intense heat of the Dragon Vein lava and vibrating from the pressure of the rampaging black Qi.Xiao Chen walked away from the 4 Hells Array. His black robes fluttered softly from the shockwaves generated by the energy circulation of the four demons. His face was flat, yet his black eyes radiated an incredibly dark urgency."A weak and trashy cultivator..."The Weeping Demon's innocent words kept spinning inside his skull. That sentence pierced straight into the Demonic Emperor's ego, burning his pride hotter than the lava at the bottom of this mine."That cowardly demon is right," Xiao Chen thought. He gritted his teeth until a soft grinding sound could
Chapter 181: Blood Contract to Immortality
"GAAAAAARRRGGGHHH!"Lei Jingtian's hoarse screams kept echoing, bouncing roughly off the walls of the dark, ancient cave. The sound of blistering flesh boiling in blackish-red lava mixed with the loud cracking of giant bones forcefully crushed by the pure energy of the Dragon Vein. The air at the bottom of the mine felt sticky. It was choked with hot steam and a metallic stench of blood that stung the lungs.Xiao Chen turned his back to the hellish pool. He wiped Lei Jingtian's blood that had splashed onto his hand, then slowly turned his head toward the Four Wailing Demons kneeling not far away.The four assassins wearing bronze masks trembled. They were sadistic monsters in the mortal world. However, seeing the torture Steward Xiao inflicted on Lei Jingtian instantly shattered their courage.Xiao Chen's lips curved. He formed a smile when he saw the fear in the eyes of the four wailing demons.
Chapter 180: The Ancient Dragon Cave
The intense vibrations of pure energy rippled directly from Xiao Chen's pale palm. They pierced entirely through the black granite wall at the absolute dead end of the deepest mine tunnel. The air surrounding them suddenly felt incredibly heavy. It felt exactly as if an ancient giant was actively breathing right behind that thick layer of stone.Lei Tie, who was standing several steps behind holding a torch in his right hand, swallowed incredibly hard. Cold sweat streamed rapidly down the veteran general's temples. The absolute pressure of this aura vastly exceeded the fluctuations of any high-tier spirit stone he had ever seen in his entire life."Steward Xiao. what exactly is sleeping down there?" Lei Tie asked with a highly hoarse voice.Xiao Chen slowly pulled his hand back. His lips curled perfectly. They formed a smile completely overflowing with absolute, unadulterated greed."The energy is un
