Traveling across the globe for the first time

Chapter 937 The Emperor Appears

Lin Zi didn't want the Spirit Emperor to descend to the mortal realm.

It should be noted that dozens of Heavenly Kings have gathered here, and there are as many as seven supreme experts, such as Zhang Haoran, Zhen Tianwang, Hongkun, and Feng Tiandi, all of whom have broken through two Void Gates.

Such power, when gathered together, is enough to challenge any emperor.

The Spirit Emperor is the weakest of all the emperors, with only a little over 80 million units of energy.

Once they descend to the mortal realm, the chances of them perishing under the siege of so many Heavenly Kings are extremely high.

Lin Zi longed to act like Yue Ling and Tian Ji, cleaning up the mess so that the Spirit Emperor could save face and wouldn't have to descend to the mortal realm.

Unfortunately, she was willing but unable to do so.

The current representative of the Spirit Emperor Palace is the Spirit Emperor's personal disciple, and also Lin Zi's junior sister, named Ji Ruyan.

Her cultivation had reached the sixth level of the Heavenly King realm, and the two of them didn't get along very well. To be precise, Ji Ruyan didn't get along well with any of her sisters.

The Spirit Emperor was relatively weak, and due to her personality, none of the disciples she accepted had any significant backgrounds. Ji Ruyan, however, was an exception.

After becoming the disciple of the Spirit Emperor, he somehow managed to establish a relationship with the Human Emperor, which is why he looks down on everyone else.

With the Emperor's support and her own extraordinary talent, she became the second disciple of the Spirit Emperor Palace a long time ago, and is now eyeing the position of chief disciple.

Therefore, their relationship has never been good.

If Lin Zi dares to launch an attack, the other party will definitely fight back to the death.

Lin Zi knew her junior sister's personality very well. She was arrogant and conceited, always thinking only of herself and never willing to suffer any loss. She would never consider others, so it was basically impossible for her to make a sacrifice for the Spirit Emperor.

Let alone Lin Zi, even if the Spirit Emperor himself took action, the other party would not sit idly by and wait to die.

Ji Ruyan didn't feel much belonging to the Spirit Emperor Palace at all. She only joined because the Spirit Emperor was the only woman among the nine emperors. She might also be an undercover agent arranged by the Human Emperor.

Ji Ruyan's current strength is at the sixth level of the Heavenly King realm. If Lin Zi cannot defeat her instantly, then a major battle is inevitable.

Moreover, this is an internal matter of the Spirit Emperor Palace, and it is not convenient for others to interfere.

Therefore, Lin Zi couldn't make up her mind until the very last moment.

Now that Zhang Haoran has offered to help them, Lin Zi no longer has to worry.

This is a formidable figure who can overpower Hongkun; killing a sixth-level Heavenly King would be a piece of cake for him.

Just as Zhang Haoran offered to do it for him, everyone secretly scorned him for being greedy.

Lin Zi stepped forward from the crowd, gracefully bowed, and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Sword Master!"

I've heard that Cangmao has been under the care of the Sword Master in the mortal realm. On behalf of the Spirit Emperor, Lin Zi would like to express her gratitude.

It's likely that Cangmao wouldn't want to see the Spirit Emperor descend to the mortal realm and fight to the death with everyone.

"Sword Master, please help me clean house!"

Lin Zi's decision to clean house as the chief disciple at this time greatly displeased some people, who hoped that the Spirit Emperor would be sent down to the mortal realm.

After all, if they are weaker, it will be easier to surround and kill them.

However, considering the relationship between Cangmao and the human world, they abandoned the idea. If they refused to take action because of Cangmao, they would lose a top-tier combatant.

Upon seeing a business opportunity, Zhang Haoran immediately said happily, "Sure thing! For Cangmao's sake, I'll definitely help you with this."

Go ahead and say it!
Who do you want to kill?
"As long as you point it out, I guarantee I won't need to use my second sword."

However, Lin Zi said she would help him clean house, not help her clean house, which still disappointed Zhang Haoran.

This means that he can only kill enemies that Lin Zi cannot handle; the other disciples of the Spirit Emperor Palace will deal with them themselves.

Zhang Haoran unleashed his full power, suppressing the powerful figures on the patrol envoy's continent.

His gaze swept over the several Heavenly Kings who had broken through to the sixth level.

The identities of those four who had broken through to the seventh level had already been confirmed, so it was impossible for them to be Lin Zi's targets.

If Lin Zi is afraid to take action and needs to ask for my help, then her target must be the Sixth Heavenly King.

Zhang Haoran immediately identified a powerful female figure. As everyone knows, the Spirit Emperor Palace does not allow any male creatures to approach.

Since there is only one female among the Six Heavenly Kings here, she should be Lin Zi's target.

A powerful sword intent locked onto the opponent, and he would kill him immediately if Lin Zi gave the order.

Lin Zi said solemnly, "Junior sisters! Master has always been lenient with us. Now is the time for us to dedicate ourselves to the sect. I hope you will prioritize the greater good and not resist."

Then Lin Zi pointed to the female cultivator and said, "Please help me kill this person, Sword Master. This is my junior sister. I heard that Sword Master's sword speed is very fast. Don't let my junior sister suffer too much."

Ji Ruyan's originally delicate face now appeared somewhat ferocious and distorted, her eyes blazing with fire as she stared intently at Lin Zi and said, "Senior sister, how cruel you are!"
If I had known this would happen, I should have told Master about your shameful deeds and had her expel you from the sect.

Listen up, everyone, this beautiful and dignified lady standing before you is actually…

"Zheng!"

A loud sword cry rang out. Zhang Haoran attacked before the other party could finish speaking. What if she said something that would make Lin Zi wary and then change her mind?
A sword light pierced the opponent's brow with incredible speed, and a look of resentment froze on the opponent's face.

Fang Ping said with a dissatisfied look, "Senior Brother Zhang, what's the rush?"

Isn't it good to listen to some gossip?
This person's will is not strong enough, and he is not very loyal to the emperor; he might be able to reveal some secret information.

Actually, these were all excuses; Fang Ping mainly wanted to hear gossip.

The powerful figures around them also showed expressions of regret. They knew that even in the Heavenly Court era, there were not many female Heavenly Kings, and each of them had a considerable background. Opportunities to listen to gossip in public like this were truly rare.

Ji Ruyan clearly wanted to reveal some shocking information, but unfortunately she was killed so quickly!
Zhang Haoran glared at Fang Ping and said, "If you want to hear gossip, go back to Cangmao. It knows a lot more gossip."

"I'm an assassin now, don't you understand professional ethics?"

Even thieves have their code of honor; an assassin must be prepared to be one.

Since we've taken the benefits, we have to think about the customers and not embarrass Lin Zi too much, otherwise, how will we get any business?

"boom!"

Ji Ruyan's body slowly fell, creating a large crater in the ground. Her eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness.

Moreover, the majority of this was driven by resentment.

In Ji Ruyan's mind, even if the powerful beings of the Three Realms began to target the Heavenly King.

As a woman, she should be able to be ranked last.

The emperor couldn't wait until they all perished before showing herself, so she never imagined that she would perish.

At worst, when it's his turn, he can just join the Three Realms and besiege the emperor with them. He doesn't even feel a sense of belonging to the Spirit Emperor Palace, so he has even less psychological burden when facing other emperors.

How many people who can cultivate to the Heavenly King level are not ambitious?

Unexpectedly, Lin Zi stepped forward at this moment, making her the second fallen Heavenly King.
Moreover, he died at the hands of the Sword Master, without even a chance to be resurrected.

In fact, the strange phenomena of the fallen experts killed by Zhang Haoran had already been noticed by everyone.

Everyone had their own guesses, believing that he severed the enemy's fundamental path while killing them.

At this moment, Lin Zi also made her move. The other disciples of the Spirit Emperor did not resist and all perished under the sword.

As the last disciple fell, Lin Zi seemed to have exhausted all her strength. She knelt in the void, silently weeping, and said, "Junior sisters! Master will remember your efforts today. I will do my best to help you recover."

"Boom boom boom!" Nearly ten powerful figures perished, and one of them was a Breaking Six Heavenly King. The Great Dao trembled even more violently, and the blood clouds in the sky became extremely thick, as if pressing down on everyone's heads, bringing an extremely oppressive feeling.

Zhang Haoran waved his hand, collecting Ji Ruyan's corpse, then looked up at the sky and said, "Still unwilling to show yourself? Then we'll continue killing!"

He thought to himself, "I'd better wait until I've killed you all before I come down."

"Next!"

The surroundings were quiet, and no one stepped forward.

Zhang Haoran raised his voice somewhat displeased and asked, "Whose turn is it next?"

Only then did he realize that everyone was looking at him strangely.

"What do you mean?"

"cough!"

Fang Ping coughed lightly and said, "That Senior Brother Zhang... it seems like it's our turn to make a move again."

Zhang Haoran quickly calculated in his mind that the last person to make a move in the previous round was the Commander of Soldiers, and then the Chaotic King killed an Emperor.

Next was Tianji, and then Lin Zi.

It's indeed humanity's turn to take action again.

Killing Ji Ruyan just now doesn't count; that was just working for someone else.

"Ha ha!"

Zhang Haoran laughed happily, "We've gone around in circles so quickly, and it's our turn to make a move again."

"Then I'll have to choose carefully."

Li Zhu chuckled and said, "Hehe, the Chaotic King is right. Everyone should have blood on their hands, and you mortals are no exception. I think Fang Ping should be the next one to make a move!"

"Look!"

Fang Ping had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and immediately unleashed his blood energy, ready to make a move. His target was also a Breaking Six Heavenly King. Fang Ping wanted to see how many moves it would take to kill a Breaking Six Heavenly King with his current strength.

His gaze swept back and forth between the four Heavenly Kings who had broken through the Six Heavens.

Zhang Haoran grabbed Fang Ping and said, "Two Broken Six Heavenly Kings have already died and there hasn't been much of a reaction. If we keep killing, it probably won't have much effect either."

We should set our sights on the Seven Heavenly Kings.

"Fang Ping, you choose your target, I'll kill him for you!"

As he spoke, he sent a message to Fang Ping: "Some people can't just watch us keep killing like this. They should be getting impatient soon. This time, we have to pick the valuable ones to kill."

Fang Ping quickly replied, "The spoils are yours, but the Origin Dao is mine. This Heavenly King Path won't last much longer."

Zhang Haoran no longer concealed his ability to separate the Origin Dao and immediately agreed.

"Sure! Hurry up and pick something valuable."

The two started dividing the spoils before even killing the person; that's just unbelievable.

Fang Ping looked at the four Seventh Heaven Kings as if he were looking at merchandise, judging who had the greater wealth.

The four Seventh Heaven Kings felt a chill run down their spines under Fang Ping's gaze. Wasn't it agreed that they would proceed step by step? How come it's their turn so soon?
Unable to bear the atmosphere any longer, Ji Yun said angrily, "Sword Master! Don't push your luck!"

We are the Seven Heavenly Kings, not lambs to the slaughter, and we are not without the strength to fight back.

"Trying to hunt us down? Be careful, or you'll all perish together."

His words offended everyone!
Doesn't that mean that everyone except the four of them is a lamb to the slaughter?
However, Ji Yun's statement is not wrong.

Previously, the Heaven-Sealing Technique used by the Heaven-Sealing Emperor sealed the original Dao of those True Gods and Emperors, making them almost like lambs.

Even those who had broken through the Six Heavenly Kings were affected to some extent, and their strength was greatly reduced.

However, the four who broke through to level seven were not significantly affected and still maintained their full combat strength.

The self-destruction of the Seven Heavenly Kings is indeed not to be underestimated.

However, Ji Yun's words did not arouse the other three who had broken through to the seventh level of cultivation to share the same hatred. Instead, they all breathed a sigh of relief and retreated a distance in perfect unison.

He even gave Ji Yun an encouraging look, as if to say, "Go ahead and expose yourself!"
If people in the Three Realms have something to fear, perhaps we won't have to die.

Fang Ping is not only greedy and loves to show off, but he is also very petty.

Now that Ji Yun has jumped out recklessly, there's no need to choose anymore. He pointed forward and shouted, "Senior Brother Zhang! Kill him for me, and we'll split the spoils in half."

"Why should I share half of what I did?"

Despite his words, his actions were swift. He raised the Blood Shadow Sword high, imbued with immortal sword intent, and countless streams of blood energy converged, unleashing a terrifying power from the longsword. It seemed as if it would strike down at any moment.

Ji Yun's blood and qi erupted, his eyes filled with despair; he knew he couldn't block this sword strike no matter what.

"Humph!"

A cold snort rang out, the sound like a thunderclap, catching everyone off guard and leaving their minds blank.

Zhang Haoran was also forced to retract the Blood Shadow Sword.

"How dare you! The Inspectors of the Three Realms represent our will, yet you dare to kill them? Are you plotting a rebellion?"

"boom!"

A terrifying pressure descended, and the blood-red clouds in the sky quickly dissipated under its tearing force, allowing the light of the immortal source to once again fall upon the earth.

A gigantic eye appeared in the primordial universe, as if a god-king was looking down upon the world.

His eyes were filled with anger.

Ji Yun, who had been in despair, almost burst into tears. His emperor father had finally shown up.

If it had been a second later, he would have died!

Everyone was shocked, and almost all the powerful figures looked towards the Great Dao Universe.
"The Emperor has really... really appeared!"

"They're still alive!"

"If he's not dead, why hasn't he shown himself for over 8000 years?"

"They didn't react when others were killed, but they jumped out just as Ji Yun was about to be killed. Could this be the Human Emperor?"

"boom!"

An unprecedentedly powerful sword intent soared into the sky, tearing apart the oppressive force that was attacking him.

Holding the Blood Shadow Sword, Zhang Haoran pointed it at the giant eye in the sky and roared, "If you have the guts, come down and fight me!"

If you're not capable, don't spout nonsense.

Who are you trying to scare by sticking your whole eyeball out?

He didn't possess the same magical power as the other party, but with the support of his spiritual power, his voice could still instantly spread throughout the Three Realms.

Sword Master has gone mad!
To dare to directly insult the Emperor is not just a provocation, it's a challenge!
It seems he really intends to fight the Emperor.

But does he have that ability? He might get slapped to death.
