2026-07-18 09:01:40Hot steam billowed slowly from the dragon-carved white porcelain cup. The aroma of the absolute highest quality tea leaves from the Southern Mountains filled the private room at the top of the Imperial Palace's Star Tower. Outside the window, the night sky of the Heavenly Cloud Capital looked pitch black. It oppressed anyone standing beneath it with a heavy premonition of bloodshed.
Prime Minister Sima You sat cross-legged with his back perfectly straight. His face was as

Chapter 146: Two Legends in the Cursed Valley
The exact second Zou Ci's figure vanished without leaving a single ripple of Qi, the absolute gravitational pressure crushing the Lin Manor courtyard instantly evaporated.The Four Wailing Demons, who had been forcefully made to kiss the dust, could finally gasp for oxygen. They crawled up with violently trembling bodies. Their bronze masks were severely cracked in multiple places.Near the ruins of the gate, Lei Jingtian vomited the black blood that was entirely clogging his throat. The Martial Maniac supported his giant body using the Mountain Cleaving Sword. The severe wounds across his entire body, caused by the heavy impact of the Tier 2 Sky Realm aura, throbbed with agonizing pain. He was forcefully compelled to swallow recovery pills haphazardly just to stay conscious."Damn it." Lei Jingtian cursed. His breathing was incredibly rough. He looked up at the pavilion balcony, exactly where Xiao Chen was still standin
Chapter 145: The Demonic Emperor's Bluff
The absolute gravitational pressure that had been aggressively crushing the spines of the Four Wailing Demons slowly faded away. The air in front of the Lin Manor gates, which previously felt like an ocean of blood-freezing mercury, finally returned to normal.Zou Ci, the Mad Ascetic, actively pulled his Tier 2 Sky Realm aura back. He did not halt his attack out of pity. He stopped purely out of deep curiosity. His old gray eyes were now entirely locked onto the figure of the white-haired young man standing arrogantly on the balcony."A highly peculiar aura," Zou Ci muttered softly. His fingers rolled his dull wooden beads at a much slower rhythm. "A physical body heavily ruined by extreme exhaustion. A foundation only in the King Realm. Yet your gaze. absolutely refuses to bow down before the heavens. You are truly a lost dragon trapped inside the body of a dog, Steward Xiao."Down below, Lei Jingtian crawled up with gr
Chapter 144: The Emperor's Guard Dog
The night shifted toward its absolute coldest point. High above the Heavenly Cloud Capital, the dark clouds that previously obscured the starlight slowly parted. They allowed the pale moonlight to illuminate the cobblestone streets right in front of the brand new Lin Family Manor.After the private victory celebration had concluded, the atmosphere outside the manor walls was once again completely dominated by a razor-sharp silence. The residual blood from the Shangguan Family massacre days ago still left a faint metallic stench clinging to the cracks in the stones.In front of the main gates made of solid ironwood, Lei Jingtian sat cross-legged on top of a massive boulder. His Earth Relic tier Mountain Cleaving Sword rested heavily on his thigh. Surrounding him, the Four Wailing Demons stood on high alert, completely hidden within the dark shadows of the gate pillars.There was absolutely no sound of galloping horse hoov
Chapter 143: A False Peace
The corridors of the Zhao Imperial Palace were completely shrouded in a suffocating silence. Ever since the news of the Shangguan Family's total annihilation broke out, not a single servant or guard dared to walk with heavy footsteps.Behind the dark shadow of a marble pillar in the western wing, a plump figure wrapped entirely in pitch-black robes was sneaking around. Third Prince Zhao Ming pressed his body tightly against the wall. He was fully prepared to sneak out through a secret passage heading straight toward the Lin Family's brand new headquarters.However, right as Zhao Ming's hand touched the secret stone panel, a crystal-clear voice completely severed the silence of the night."Where is Third Brother going this late at night?"Zhao Ming froze solid. He turned his head very slowly. He saw Princess Zhao Yue standing right at the end of the corridor. The innocent girl wore a silk robe. Her ar
Chapter 142: The Shattered Chessboard
Three days had passed since the night the sky of the Heavenly Cloud Capital was painted red by the blood of the Shangguan Family.The news regarding the total annihilation of the noble faction that had monopolized weaponry swept across the entire empire exactly like a firestorm. The giant corpse of Patriarch Shangguan Hong, left to rot without a jaw and with a gaping hole in his chest, became an absolute monument of terror that silenced the courage of any faction. Not a single noble dared to walk past the ruins of that manor. The name of the Lin Family and their Head Steward, who claimed the title of Demonic Emperor, was now spoken only in hushed, trembling voices.Inside the Imperial Palace, the political tension exploded to its absolute peak.Emperor Zhao Wuji sat upon his dragon throne. The face of the middle-aged man, who was usually always calm and calculating, was now flushed red with pure fury. The Qi density radi
Chapter 141: The Meaning of a Name
The sickening sound of a cracking jawbone echoed violently. It shattered the silence of the night above the ruins of the Shangguan Manor. In the middle of the blood-soaked marble crater, the three-meter-tall red monster no longer looked like an absolute ruler.Shangguan Hong struggled in pure despair. His pitch-black eyes widened in absolute horror as he stared at the pale, white-haired young man standing on his shoulders. Xiao Chen's two hands, completely coated in the 9 Hells Black Fire, maintained a vice-like grip on the upper and lower jaws of the Blood Patriarch."Take your arrogance to hell," Xiao Chen whispered. His voice was incredibly calm. It sounded almost like a gentle night breeze, yet it pierced directly into Shangguan Hong's eardrums. "And tell the denizens of hell that the Demonic Emperor is returning to reclaim his throne."CRAAAASH!Mortal laws did not apply in the face of pure powe
