Chapter 1866 Great Emperors in History
At this moment, the elders of many imperial families and clans jointly forced the emperor to abdicate. The oppressive atmosphere in the imperial palace was extremely strong and suffocating.

Shao Hongjun looked around, his gaze slightly narrowed.

What pained him most was that all the civil and military officials in the court sided with these imperial families against him.

Although Shao Hongjun often joked that he was the most disappointing emperor, he consistently governed effectively and protected the old territory.

Unexpectedly, today he was forced to abdicate and rebel, and the entire court of officials secretly colluded with him!

Shao Hongjun said in a deep voice, "Do you all want me dead so badly? Am I really that unpopular?"

The next moment, Shao Hongjun was somewhat surprised.

A figure stepped forward.

Under pressure from numerous imperial families and powerful clans, neither Gu Xiuyuan nor Gu Leyun, who was guarding the palace gate alone, stood up.

A young man stood in front of Shao Hongjun.

Shao Hongjun looked surprised.

The imperial clan elders and officials present were also somewhat surprised.

Li Yanchu placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and stood next to Shao Hongjun, or more accurately, stood in front of Shao Hongjun.

Shao Hongjun said, moved, "Why are you here?"

Li Yanchu said to Shao Hongjun, "My godfather is in trouble. How can I sit idly by? These people are nothing but traitors and rebels."

Faced with the pressure from these imperial families and powerful clans, Li Yanchu actually stood up and was the only one to confront these powerful figures who were forcing him to abdicate!
Li Yanchu addressed Shao Hongjun as his godfather at this moment, which brought great comfort to Shao Hongjun's ears.

Li Yanchu turned around, drew his sword, and his entire demeanor changed abruptly, his eyes flashing like cold lightning.

"I'd like to see who dares to step forward, lest they be so fearless as to die!"

This statement caused an uproar.
No one expected that the head of this grand court assembly, the future crown prince,

This outsider, whom everyone underestimated, surprisingly chose to stand with Shao Hongjun without hesitation.

The elder of the Yun family, an imperial clan, sighed inwardly, for he greatly admired Li Yanchu.

The fact that he was the top leader of the Grand Assembly shows his talent; the fact that he stood with Shao Hongjun without fear of death also shows his loyalty.

The elders of the Yun family sighed with emotion.
"Shao Hongjun has a very good eye for people."

However, given the current situation, if this young man were to block the road, he would surely die without a burial place.

The elder of the Yun family said in a deep voice, "Young man, you are ignorant of your own limitations. Do you think you can stop this situation today? Faced with this overwhelming force, the entire court remains silent. What are you to say?"

Li Yanchu coldly replied, "I call Your Majesty my godfather. If Your Majesty is in trouble, I will naturally stand by you to the end. Even if I am crushed to pieces today and die without a burial place, it is nothing to fear."

Everyone was shocked.

Even Shao Hongjun hadn't expected Li Yanchu to be so loyal and righteous, preparing to confront numerous imperial families at this crucial moment.

Shao Hongjun was overjoyed and tugged at Li Yanchu's arm, saying, "Good boy, I didn't misjudge you. No, you're even better than I imagined. Since that's the case, I can't let you die here."

Li Yanchu said, "My godfather has done me a great favor, and I cannot leave it unrepaid. It's just a life, so let's fight and kill them!"

At this moment, Shao Hongjun felt a surge of passion in his chest. He said with satisfaction, "Your personality is completely different from mine. If you take over my position in the future, this country will be in your hands. It is very likely that you will break through the limitations of your predecessors and achieve feats comparable to the first emperor."

Immediately, Shao Hongjun shoved Li Yanchu away, and an invisible force appeared in front of Li Yanchu.

This power was like boundless space and time; no matter how Li Yanchu tried to leap forward, he could not advance and could only watch helplessly as Shao Hongjun turned around.

Shao Hongjun looked at these imperial families and said in a deep voice, "The emperors of our ancient land have all had the spirit to die to mend the heavens. I was originally in a state of ambiguity about this matter. I have my own selfish reasons. I don't want to die. Thinking of the emperors of the past who sacrificed themselves for the country, I am always ashamed. Just now when you were forcing me to abdicate, I was also hesitant. But now I have changed my mind."

At this moment, many imperial families and noble clans looked at Shao Hongjun with an aura that suggested they would raise the imperial coffin at the slightest provocation to confront him.

Shao Hongjun said in a deep voice, "There are many secrets surrounding the matter of mending the heavens. I do not wish to bring it up in public today, as a way of saving face for all the emperors. Although the emperors were of noble character, their descendants were quite incompetent. Do you think you can force me to abdicate?!"

Suddenly, Shao Hongjun raised his hand and grabbed out. A huge hand appeared, containing countless immortal laws, the Nine Innate Paths in operation, the Chaotic Qi erupted, and the Limitless Dao Qi, the Reincarnation Dao Qi, and various other Dao Qi were extremely abundant, as if a universe had appeared.

Everyone was shocked and immediately began to offer sacrifices to the emperor's coffin.

A terrifying aura erupted from the Emperor's Coffin, and one coffin after another opened. Li Yanchu felt a moment of disorientation.

From the emperor's coffin emerged one after another majestic figure, each one a deceased emperor.

Throughout the long history of the ancient land, these great emperors all accomplished great feats, yet they all eventually embarked on the path of mending the heavens, which is truly admirable.

At this moment, a great emperor suddenly unleashed the Great Dao of Reincarnation and attacked Shao Hongjun. His name was Di Xin, and he cultivated the Great Dao of Cause and Effect.

After he activated his supernatural powers, a long road appeared beneath his feet.

When a Dao Lord who cultivates the Great Dao of Cause and Effect reaches the Great Perfection realm, he will see a majestic and awe-inspiring deity at the end of the Great Dao.

Although Di Xin was dead, his attack still contained boundless power. Shao Hongjun clashed with him with a palm strike, and with a loud boom, their divine powers collided in the void.

Emperor Xin's aura was temporarily suppressed by Shao Hongjun, but the fact that a dead emperor could fight against a living emperor was itself quite shocking.

Moreover, there were dozens of deceased emperors on the field, each now unleashing their divine powers.
Shao Hongjun's demise seems like it happened just yesterday.

Li Yanchu was both anxious and furious. He had no affection or loyalty to Shao Hongjun, but he had received great help from Shao Hongjun, which was a huge favor. Naturally, he had to repay it. He was loyal and would die without regret.

However, Shao Hongjun was surrounded, and with so many dead emperors rising up in rebellion, he was clearly unable to withstand them. He was extremely worried about this.
However, it could not break through Shao Hongjun's boundless space-time, and even after several activations of the Dao-Slaying Divine Blade, it could not sever this space-time.

Shao Hongjun was surrounded by dozens of emperors and was on the verge of death.

The offering of the corpses of dozens of emperors was extraordinary, but Shao Hongjun managed to withstand it.

A black box appeared behind his head, and its appearance immediately caused Li Yanchu's pupils to contract.
This is the black box he encountered in the Great Void.

At this moment, an extremely powerful force entered Shao Hongjun's body from the black box.

Shao Hongjun raised his hands, as if in the beginning of time, a god was conceived within and created the world.

With his hands raised, he possessed boundless power, lifting up the vast and mighty divine abilities of the Emperor, causing them to collide and explode violently.

Boom! Boom!
Terrifying explosions continued to occur.

Shao Hongjun kept supporting these great emperor powers, and actually managed to hold them up.

Everyone was shocked!

These elders of the imperial clan never expected that Shao Hongjun could withstand the attacks of so many imperial corpses.

At this moment, they were somewhat shaken. If they failed to kill Shao Hongjun today, they would all be wiped out. Immediately, everyone frantically activated the Emperor's Coffin, unleashing terrifying divine powers. Each Emperor invoked different Great Daos: the Great Dao of Reincarnation, the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos, and the Great Dao of Chaos.
In addition to the Nine Primordial Paths, there are also the Yin-Yang Path, the Thunder Path, the Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning, Water, Wood, Metal and Earth, and various other Primordial Paths.

It was terrifying, as if the whole world was about to be annihilated.

It's simply unbelievable that Shao Hongjun could single-handedly confront these great emperors of history.

Although these emperors have passed away, the power they are displaying now is not much different from that they had in life.

If Shao Hongjun was able to withstand it, wouldn't that prove that he alone could rival dozens of emperors?
Everyone was somewhat incredulous.

The Mo family elder exclaimed, "Impossible! No matter how talented Shao Hongjun is, he could not have done this. Even if he was the strongest emperor in history, he could not withstand the attacks of all the emperors."

Although Shao Hongjun appeared to be in great danger amidst the overwhelming supernatural powers, he managed to withstand them all.

The black box clearly provided him with tremendous support.

At this moment, Shao Hongjun made a move that broke the divine power of a great emperor and forced him to retreat.

Surrounded by dozens of emperors, he remained fearless, constantly weaving through them and forcing one historical emperor after another to retreat.

At this moment, the dazzling light made everyone feel as if history was repeating itself.

All the emperors seemed to come alive and besieged Shao Hongjun, but Shao Hongjun stubbornly held on.

With a mere wave of his hand, he unleashed divine powers of the Great Dao, possessing boundless might.

For a time, even dozens of emperors could not harm him in the slightest.

The clan elders of various tribes who were supporting the operation of these imperial coffins were now finding it difficult to continue.

None of the civil and military officials made a move. Although they were allied with the imperial family, the situation was still unclear, and they were unwilling to take action. Their eyes were filled with suspicion and uncertainty.

Shao Hongjun's power exceeded their imagination.

However, if Shao Hongjun shows even the slightest sign of weakness or defeat, he is likely to be attacked by the masses.

After all, the law of the jungle still exists in this powerful old empire, even after many disguises have been removed.

Despite being surrounded by such a large group, Shao Hongjun showed no signs of defeat. Li Yanchu was deeply moved and incredulous.

"That black box is merely an amplification of Dao power. His Majesty's ability to remain undefeated is not solely due to the support of the black box, but rather because the black box's enhancement of him far exceeds my imagination."

Li Yanchu's heart pounded wildly. To fight against a deceased emperor from history all by himself was simply dazzling and exhilarating.

At this moment, a great emperor unleashed his supernatural powers and attacked Shao Hongjun. It was as if he was holding a long sword, and he thrust the sword towards Shao Hongjun's back.

Shao Hongjun was also unable to dodge in time.

This emperor's skills were extremely fierce; he was Emperor Mo, the ancestor of the Mohist school.

At this moment, he unleashed his supernatural power to attack Shao Hongjun. Shao Hongjun surged his cultivation, and the black box behind him suddenly swung fiercely towards Di Mo like a meteor hammer.
It directly slammed Di Mo backward, causing his body to tremble violently.

The Mo family elder coughed up blood. Although the battle had nothing to do with him, he was the one who provided the magical power and kept the Emperor's Coffin running.

At this moment, the imperial coffin trembled, and the leaked aura alone injured him.

Shao Hongjun fought in the sky, where the deceased emperor was, while below were powerful members of the imperial clan, who kept urging the imperial coffin to move.

At this moment, Grand Tutor Gu and Gu Leyun exchanged a glance and simultaneously charged towards the elder of the imperial clan.

They wanted to assassinate these clan elders, so that they would be distracted and unable to control the Emperor's Coffin, or they could kill the Emperor's Coffin directly, causing it to lose its power, thus breaking the current crisis.

At this moment, Guleyun, holding a long spear, charged forward with all his might.

He was certainly no match for the great emperors of history enshrined in the imperial coffin, but he could certainly hold his own against these clan elders.

At this moment, he thrust his spear forward, and in an instant, boundless killing intent erupted from the tip of the spear, determined to pierce through an elder.

Just as he made his move, two figures suddenly emerged from the side.

These were two military generals, one wielding twin hammers and the other a large axe, both clad in armor and with imposing faces, charging towards Guleyun together.

Seeing his former comrades turn on him so ruthlessly, Gu Leyun was both shocked and furious. He said in a deep voice, "What are you doing? Do you really intend to rebel against His Majesty?"

At this moment, the two generals from the old Earth Immortal Dynasty did not say much to Gu Leyun, perhaps because they felt ashamed, or perhaps because there was no need for further words.

At this moment, one of them wielded a large axe and the other pushed two hammers to fiercely attack Guleyun, and in an instant, the battle caused the sky to collapse and the earth to split.

Guleyun roared furiously, thrusting out his spear with a ferocious intent to destroy everything in his path.

Although these two generals were not as skilled as Gu Leyun, they were still extraordinary. They attacked Gu Leyun together, forcing him to be unable to advance.

On the other side, Gu Xiuyuan encountered the same situation.

Gu Xiuyuan was stopped by two important officials of the court.

Gu Xiuyuan may appear refined, but he can be quite violent when he gets into a fight.

He couldn't help but curse, "Minister of Rites, I knew you were a scoundrel long ago, and I didn't expect you to actually be one, finding a new master so quickly!"

The Minister of Rites was a middle-aged man who paid great attention to his appearance. His beard and eyebrows were neatly trimmed, and his clothes were very appropriate.

At this moment, he held a golden Ruyi in his hand and smashed it hard at Gu Xiuyuan.

His cultivation level was far inferior to Gu Xiuyuan's, but as an important official of the court, he also possessed formidable strength.

At this moment, the Minister of Rites, along with several other ministers, joined forces to besiege Gu Xiuyuan. He coldly said, "His Majesty's favoritism towards you alone has long been unbearable for me. Today, I finally have the opportunity to kill you. I'm afraid you won't even have the chance to be a dog."

They might not have the courage to attack Shao Hongjun, but attacking these two powerful figures who dared to assassinate the elders of the Imperial Clan was their duty.

The entanglement between the imperial family and them was far deeper than Gu Xiuyuan had imagined.
Gu Xiuyuan was also somewhat terrified at this moment.

The scene became chaotic, with everyone fighting amongst themselves.

Shang Rongjun suddenly appeared, brandishing a long sword and thrusting it towards the vital point of the Mo family elder, but was suddenly stopped by someone.

The man was an elderly man with white hair and beard, whose face bore a resemblance to Shao Hongjun. Shang Rongjun exclaimed in surprise, "Prince Ren, are you also planning a rebellion?"

He was not an ordinary civil or military official, but rather a member of the Shao Hongjun clan, who was granted the title of Prince. Unexpectedly, he would also obstruct my rescue efforts.

Even the shrewd and calculating Grand Tutor Shang Rongjun felt a chill run down his spine.

"Who exactly is behind this, causing the entire court to become alienated from His Majesty?"
