God Emperor

Chapter 2418: Lady Wind’s Death

Although the Divine Domain of Destiny was built on the leaves of the world tree, it was quite vast. At the moment, the city where Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen were fighting was relatively barren. Only a few cultivators lived there.

They had long been alarmed by the aftermath of the battle and fled into the distance.

“It’s terrifying. What a powerful force. The precepts of heaven and earth of the entire city have been stirred.”

“Who are they? How dare they fight in the divine domain? Aren’t they afraid of being taken away by the enforcers of the Fane of Destiny?”

“They’re definitely Supreme Saints. We’d better step back to avoid being killed in the aftermath of the battle.”

...

The Fane of Destiny forbade cultivators from fighting in private. Even if there were personal grudges, they had to go to the Battle District.

Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen’s battle quickly alerted a team of enforcers passing by. They wore armor, rode on white bone beasts, and held saint swords. Their bodies emitted a death glow.

The leader of the enforcers was called Yan Xiao. Although he had a human body, his skin was covered in stone. His cultivation had reached the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle realm.

The enforcers behind him were all at the Saint King Realm.

An enforcer covered in ghostly qi said in shock, “What a powerful battle might. There seems to be a ripple of Supreme Power.”

They were far from the center of the battle, so they couldn’t see who was fighting. They could only see blood-red and golden lights, which sometimes shot out for thousands of miles, and sometimes were pitch-black.

The air force formed by the aftershocks of the battle swept across the world like a storm.

Yan Xiao’s figure was as straight as a spear. He snorted and said, “The two people who are fighting are called Yuanhui level geniuses. They have the battle strength to kill Banshi Isshou Realm Celestial Captives with the cultivation of the Hundred-Shackle Realm. How can they not be strong?”

“What? Is it them?”

All the enforcers were in an uproar.

In this era, who else could be called a Yuanhui-level genius besides Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen?

SWOOSH!

SWOOSH!

...

The sound of the wind breaking could be heard continuously. Groups of enforcers came one after another. The leaders were all Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saints.

In a moment, there were seven hundred Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saints enforcers here. There were seven to eight hundred enforcers in total.

When the enforcers arrived, they would ask Yan Xiao why he did not capture the cultivators who were fighting in private. However, when they found out that the two people fighting were Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen, they became silent and shocked.

An Immortal Vampire enforcer said in surprise, “If I remember correctly, today should be the day Zhang Ruochen and Princess Luo Sha are engaged. Many important figures have gone to the Fortune Palace. Why is he fighting with Yan Wushen?”

“Yan Wushen and His Highness Pan Ruo are also engaged today.”

“These two are really battle maniacs. How dare they ignore the rules of the Divine Hall? How can the Divine Domain of Destiny be a place where they can fight at will?”

An enforcer leader standing on top of the black python said in a deep voice. She wore a black robe and had a thin face. She added, “Arrest them. Those who break the rules, regardless of their identity, must be severely punished.”

Yan Xiao sneered. “Arrest Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen? With just us? Any one of them can kill all of us.”

That Immortal Vampire leader of the enforcers looked at the sky and said, “Lord Zhen is here, and so is Lord Qi Xin.”

Two whirling black qi tornadoes flew out of the clouds and landed on the ground. They condensed into two terrifying figures.

Lord Zhen was wearing bone armor and his body was a mass of black ghost fog. There was a firefly-like glow dancing in the ghost fog.

Lord Qi Xin was 21 meters tall and his head was like an ox. He held a long spear in his hand.

They were both Marshals of the Adjudication Division. They were subject to the Judge of the Divine Domain’s jurisdiction. Their cultivation had advanced to the pinnacle of the Thousand-Koan Realm, and they were ranked among the Marshals’ top ten.

A skinny female leader of the enforcers in a black robe jumped down from the black python’s head and bowed to the two Marshals. She said, “The illegal fighters are Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen. Do you want to take them down?”

Lord Zhen waved his hand, “Qi Xin and I have received orders from the Judge. This is the edge of the exclusive territory of the Fortune Palace. It’s not convenient for the Adjudication Division to interfere. We just need to make sure that their fight doesn’t affect the city.”

“What?” The latest_epi_sodes are on_the ɴovelFɪre.net

The black robe female leader of the enforcers looked surprised and said, “The Adjudication Division oversees the order of the entire Divine Domain of Destiny, including the Fortune Palace.”

The three divisions and the twelve palaces were independent forces in the Fane of Destiny.

The Adjudication Division had a high status. Even if the disciples of the twelve palaces broke the rules of the fane, they had to be punished unconditionally.

“Are you questioning the Judge?”

The lantern-sized eyes of Lord Qi Xin glared at her. The saint might that erupt made her tremble.

“Forgive me, my lord,” the black-robed female leader of the enforcers said quickly.

Under the leadership of Lord Qi Xin and Lord Zhen, nearly 1,000 enforcers formed a great barrier that covered thousands of miles. It prevented the aftermath of the battle between Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen from spreading outward.

The news of the decisive battle between Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen quickly spread throughout the Divine Domain of Destiny, causing a huge uproar.

“What? Weren’t they engaged in the Fortune Palace today? Why did they start the decisive battle?”

“It’s said that this battle not only has to determine the victor, but also life and death. It determines the identity of the strongest person in this era.”

“This battle is too interesting. I want to watch the battle. Perhaps I can witness the death of a Yuanhui-level genius. Just thinking about it makes me excited!”

Many young cultivators from the ten clans had gathered in the Divine Domain of Destiny as a result of the Battle of Celestial-Hunting. They ran to inform one another and then rushed to the location where the battle erupted in groups.

In the marriage proposal parade of the Xue Jue family, Xueqi and Xue Chen were so scared that their faces turned pale after they heard the news.

They felt that after Zhang Ruochen had left, he had gone to fight Yan Wushen.

Why?

Even if he wanted to fight, why did he choose today?

Xue Chen said, “I have sent a message to my 14th aunt and father. I believe they have rushed over. What is Zhang Ruochen thinking? Does he think that a life-and-death battle is more important than marrying Princess Luo?”

“I hope that they are not really fighting a life-and-death battle. On a day like today, whoever dies will cause a huge uproar,” Xueqi sighed.

The news reached the Fortune Palace.

Luo Shengtian, who was already depressed, smashed a wine jar onto the ground. Monstrous evil Qi surged out of his body and condensed into battle armor, he roared, “Zhang Ruochen, how dare you go to a life-and-death battle with Yan Wushen on the day of the engagement. What do you mean? Are you leaving my sister here? Is the Princess of Devala so unimportant?

“Where is the Saint Army of Devala? Come with me to capture Zhang Ruochen.”

A Saint Army made up of Saint Kings and Supreme Saints gathered around Luo Shengtian. Each of them had a very strong aura, and their fighting spirit was shocking. They were the most powerful guards of Devala, and they usually guarded the royal palace.

Luo Sha, dressed in crimson clothes, chased after them. She looked worried and said, “I’ll go with you.”

Luo Shengtian shook his head and said, “Don’t worry, sister. Leave this to me. Today is your wedding day. Don’t go anywhere. Just wait for me to capture Zhang Ruochen and bring him to you.”

Luo Sha’s eyes were filled with anxiety. “No, you can’t stop Zhang Ruochen. I have to go.”

Whoosh

Amane’s divine shadow appeared and blocked Luo Sha. She said, “Sha’er, where’s your usual intelligence and calmness? You’d better not go anywhere on the wedding day.”

Luo Sha said, “Mother, the battle between Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen will determine life and death. How can I not go?”

Amane said, “The battle between Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen will break out sooner or later. Zhang Ruochen chose today’s decisive battle because of you.”

“Because of Luo Sha?” Luo Shengtian was puzzled.

Amane said, “Zhang Ruochen obviously doesn’t have absolute confidence in this battle. If he marries your sister and then dies at the hands of Yan Wushen, won’t it destroy your sister’s life?”

“Can’t we stop them?” Luo Shengtian asked.

Amane said, “The battle has already erupted. No one can stop it anymore. Even if we stop it, they will still fight. Xue Jue and Huang Tian lacked their determination to fight to the death back then. That’s why they left behind regrets that they couldn’t make up for their entire lives.”

Xue Jue wanted to revive the Xue Jue family. He was destined not to throw his life away.

Huang Tian also had its own restrictions, so he could not completely ignore life and death.

Amane said, “No matter whether it was Wargod Bloodximius or Wu Qingzong, they should be supportive. Only when you reach their level will you understand the meaning of this battle.”

Not far away, in another courtyard of the Fortune Palace.

Pan Ruo was stunned when she heard the news of the battle between Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen. Her emotions were mixed, and she could not calm down for a long time. She stood under the wall and stared at the indistinct waves of Qi in the sky. Her beautiful eyes became sparkling.

Lady Wind was riding in a golden sacred carriage drawn by three saint beasts. The carriage was pursued by two teams of death-defying saint guards. They rushed to the Fortune Palace for tonight’s engagement party.

Whoosh

A Communication talisman flew over and rushed into the golden sacred carriage.

Lady Wind grabbed the talisman and looked at it. She was shocked. “This... This is very interesting! Hehe.”

A shadow appeared in the corner of the sacred carriage. His voice was hoarse. “Lady Scioness, what happened? Why such a delightful face?”

Lady Wind laughed. “The battle between Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen has been brought forward. Someone must die tonight. No matter who dies, it’s something to celebrate.”

The shadow said, “This is indeed wonderful news! If Yan Wushen died, Pan Ruo would lose the support of the Yanluo clan. If you wanted to get rid of her, there would be fewer obstacles. If Zhang Ruochen died, your position among the Immortal Vampires would definitely rise.”

“How can we miss such a wonderful battle?” said Lady Wind as her red lips curled up. Her smile was like a flower.

ROAR!

Suddenly, the golden sacred carriage shook violently.

The three sacred beasts pulling the carriage let out terrifying roars.

Lady Wind revealed an unhappy expression and scolded, “You three, what are you so agitated about?”

The outside became silent.

Lady Wind cultivated the Path of Destiny and was very sensitive to danger. She sensed that something was wrong and her pretty face changed. She said in a low voice, “Uncle.”

The dark shadow in the corner was like a black piece of paper. It suddenly propped itself up and turned into a tall and straight white-bearded elder. His eyes were bright, and he did not look old at all.

Kagesawa En was a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint of the Yellowsky Clan.

Although Lady Wind had not been officially crowned, she was already a Scioness. Naturally, she needed the protection of a top-notch elite below divinity.

Boom

The murderous aura that surged out of Kagesawa En’s body was like a sword blade. It shattered the golden sacred carriage into pieces.

Outside the carriage was a strange world. There were long and thin rivers flowing into the horizon. The three sacred beasts pulling the carriage had already rotted and their flesh and blood had turned into thick water.

“Divine Plane.”

Kagesawa En’s expression changed and he shouted, “Lady Scioness, run!”

Kagesawa En immediately activated a forbidden technique. The Supreme Saint’s blood in his body burned and his body exploded with a gaze that was even brighter than a star. He activated a Regal Artifact saber and slashed at a corner of the divinity world.

The power of this attack was no less than that of a demigod.

Unfortunately, it did not break through the Divine Plane. Instead, it was struck by a large golden hand. The Neverwither physique exploded and turned into a cloud of blood mist.

In front of a god, even a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint was like an ant. He had no power to resist.

Lady Wind’s face was as pale as a sheet of paper. She knew that she could not escape. She stared at the large golden hand and raised her voice, “Who dares to kill me? If a god makes a move and breaks the unspoken rules of the Infernal Court, you will definitely bring yourself a disaster.”

“The Avīci Pavilion has never placed the rules of the Infernal Court world in their eyes.” A deep voice sounded.

The golden hand descended. It was as if the entire world was pressing down on Lady Wind’s head. The unparalleled power crushed the Saint Soul of the Supreme Saint into pieces.

At this moment, the word “life” in Lady Wind’s palm suddenly exploded with a brilliant divine light. Twelve streaks of divine light shot out and formed twelve majestic divine shadows.

The attack from the golden hand was blocked by the divine shadows of the Twelve Reverends.

At this moment, the true bodies of the Twelve Reverends sensed it.

Fukurokuju, who was in charge of the Fane of Destiny, let out a divine roar from an unknown distance of tens of thousands of miles. The divine roar transcended space-time and charged towards the Divine Plane that trapped Lady Wind.

The entire Divine Domain of Destiny was filled with earth-shattering thunder, causing countless cultivators below the Supreme Saint Realm to kneel and tremble.

Empress of Thousand Bones stood in the pitch-black void space, a long river formed from Marks of Time flowing under her feet. She pushed her palm out into the air, forming a space-time wall that collided with the divine roar.

BOOM!

The space-time wall kept shattering, and the divine roar gradually faded away. In the end, it was completely dissolved.

Empress of Thousand Bones looked in the direction of the Divine Plane and said, “Fukurokuju’s true body has moved. In a breath’s time, you must kill Fuurei and seize the Destiny Token.”

In the Divine Plane that trapped Lady Wind, a vaguely human figure appeared. He hovered in the air and looked down. “It’s just divine shadows of the Twelve Reverends. It can’t save your life.”

Lady Wind glanced at the figure and found that it was a middle-aged man with a remarkable figure. He looked somewhat like Zhang Ruochen. However, the temperament of the middle-aged man was like the abyss of the sea. One couldn’t see the bottom, and he was like a high mountain. One could only look up to him.

This was the last time Lady Wind saw him.

In the next moment, the divine shadow of the Twelve Reverends was put into a divine bottle by the middle-aged man.

Lady Wind’s body shattered into tiny fragments. All of her bones, Saint Soul, and Sainthood Source were destroyed. She had no chance of resurrecting herself.

Even though she was beautiful and talented, under the god’s palm, she disappeared in an instant, as if she had never been to this world.
