Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

Three hours ago, in the southwest of Tianyuan, within the distant territory of the demon race, countless city towers converged on the most glorious and prosperous area, which was the capital of the Sunset Royal Court, home to billions of demon race citizens.

"Boom!!!"

Suddenly, the weather changed, with lightning and thunder. An angry roar came from the horizon as a colossal beast charged straight at the capital. In an instant, several similar auras erupted simultaneously.

An unpleasant voice rang out from a palace in the capital.

"Jiao Li, have you gone mad? Quickly conceal your aura and dare to disturb the people! If His Majesty finds out, he will surely punish you severely."

“My son is going to be eaten by the natives of Tianyuan! Your daughter will suffer the same fate, you old bastard. All the younger generation of my royal court have been kidnapped by that person. The Void Sword Sect is pulling the strings behind the scenes, trying to wipe out our bloodline!”

The dragon's voice made no attempt to conceal itself, piercing through layers of void and reaching the mansions of princes and nobles everywhere.

"what?!"

"Oh no! My son!!"

"Damn it, what on earth is going on?!"

In an instant, the capital city, which had just calmed down, lost control again. Several terrifying auras revived, and without exception, they were all the rulers who had recently been stationed in the capital, ranging from the weakest to the sixth or seventh palace level.

Some of their direct descendants also ventured into the Heavenly Abyss to seek the whereabouts of innate magical artifacts and the immortal faith bodies.

"My dear minister, please tell me in detail."

Just then, a tall and imposing figure appeared. He was exceptionally handsome, with a majestic and supreme gaze. He wore an imperial robe and walked slowly through the void.

It is an avatar of the Sunset Demon Emperor, whose main body is still in the forbidden area assisting the Pegasus Saint King in breaking through the barrier and is unable to leave.

"An elder of the Void Sword Sect, who had been lying dormant and reincarnated in the Heavenly Abyss many years ago, rose to power there, swept away the local masters, and became the strongest."

"Recently, he made his move. Song Ao, the second-inherited holy son of the Life Sword Sect, rang the 'Nine Nether Soul-Destroying Bell,' which covered the entire Heavenly Abyss, injuring all the infiltrators and forcing them to expose their whereabouts, so that they could be wiped out in one fell swoop."

"Just recently, he even tried to eat my son alive. I humbled myself and begged him desperately, but to no avail. He even erased my image!"

The old dragon spoke through gritted teeth, his anger burning, growing more and more agitated with each word:

"Your Majesty, this person may have seized three innate magical artifacts, otherwise he would not act so brazenly. They are trying to cause our lineage to end! From my son's memories, I also saw that Your Majesty's princes and princesses have also been captured and are at risk of death at any time. I beg Your Majesty to send troops or allow us to attack the Void Sword Sect to put pressure on them and force them to release the captives."

"Elder...?"

The Sunset Demon Emperor's eyes turned cold as he said, "It seems they're willing to go to great lengths to let an Elder-level Dao Lord go in; it's tantamount to self-immolation. Hmph, what about the people from the Great Ye Dynasty? Were they involved?"

"Your Majesty, the children of the royal family and civil and military officials have all been captured, and some have even perished. A holy son of the Void Sword Sect was killed by Song Ao. Perhaps there are also different factions fighting fiercely within their sect."

"Your Majesty, if you allow us to attack, there is a great chance to rescue the hostages. If we wait any longer, it will be too late!"

The old dragon king said in a great hurry.

As soon as it finished speaking, several voices echoed in agreement, undoubtedly from the other rulers whose children were trapped in the Heavenly Abyss.

"Your Majesty, please send troops to attack. I am willing to go."

"Your Majesty, we cannot delay!!!"

"His Majesty......."

"enough!"

The Sunset Demon Emperor sternly interrupted the sovereigns' attempts to persuade him, coldly stating:

"How dare you imprison my children! Ha, I'd like to see which expert from the Void Sword Sect ordered this!"

Immediately, its words became law, and it issued a decree to the entire vast imperial capital:

"By imperial decree, the masters of the six palaces shall accompany me to the Void Sword Sect to inquire into the truth."

"Walk--"

"Boom!!!"

The next moment, the Sunset Demon Emperor reached out with one hand, tearing the void in front of him apart. Countless storms of demonic energy raged, and behind the void was the capital of the Great Ye Dynasty.

In an instant, the vital energy of countless martial arts experts revived, and the divine generals stationed in the capital soared into the air, demanding an answer from the Demon Emperor:

What do you intend to do?

"?"

"Boom!!!"

However, despite the vast distance between them, and without even meeting directly, the Sunset Demon Emperor's gaze fell upon the divine general, severely injuring him, causing his blood to splatter across the void, and he plummeted to the ground like a meteor.

"Be bold!"

A king arrived in person and coldly rebuked him.

"If you don't go to the Void Sword Sect soon, you can expect to be collecting the corpses of your bloodline."

"call out!"

After the Sunset Demon Emperor finished speaking, he casually threw out a black letter, which tore through the void. The black sharpness expanded to a million feet in an instant, almost like a natural disaster. Such a strike was enough to sink the entire imperial capital.

"Wha...what?!"

The king's face turned ashen. Before he could even react to what was happening, the Sunset Demon Emperor had vanished, and the shattered spatial rifts instantly healed. Only the world-destroying black light continued to descend.

"Wow!!!"

At this momentous time of cataclysm, the Grand Preceptor, who had been observing from the sidelines, finally made his move.

He was a middle-aged man with a weathered face, a crane-like figure, an air of otherworldly grace, golden eyebrows, and eyes like the sun and moon. He sat cross-legged atop a majestic Taoist palace.

The black light emanated a powerful aura over the capital, and he gently waved the whisk in his hand.

"Boom!!!"

A gigantic hand, like that of an ancient god or immortal, suddenly emerged from the ground, grasped the million-foot-long black blade with its bare hands, and brutally shattered it.

The crisis was averted.

A few breaths later, the Imperial Advisor lowered his eyes, gazing at the black letter that had been unfolded in his palm.

The bold, elegant handwriting above made him look puzzled. He slowly stood up and telepathically explained the situation to the emperor, officials, and feudal lords.

“All my sons and grandsons who have entered the Heavenly Abyss have been captured and are in imminent danger. Even my unruly little disciple is no exception.”

"The younger generation of the Sunset Royal Court suffered the same fate. The source of the crime is suspected to be the Void Sword Sect. The two holy sons who were instructed are Song Ao and Zhao Yi, who are most likely related to their masters."

"The Sunset Demon Emperor has already gone to the Void Sword Sect to demand an explanation, intending to use force to coerce the release of the person. If not, he will spare no effort to destroy the Sword Sect."

"Gentlemen, is there anyone willing to go?"

The Grand Preceptor had important matters to attend to and could not leave the capital, so he sought the opinions of the officials, the emperor, the four kings, and the generals.

"There's no need for the Grand Preceptor to worry about this; I will handle it myself."

A voice slowly rang out, and a tall figure emerged from the magnificent and luxurious white jade palace.

That was the emperor of the dynasty. He was taciturn and casually created a teleportation array, locked the corresponding spatial coordinates, and then took a step, traversing tens of thousands of miles.

"Your Majesty, please also bring back my unworthy disciple. I would be extremely grateful."

The Grand Preceptor looked down at the distant formation and entrusted the task to the hidden figure, receiving a concise reply.

"it is good."

"Gentlemen, whoever wishes to protect His Majesty, follow me!"

A triumphant shout echoed through the void of the royal city, and the speaker was none other than King Xuanfeng, one of the four great kings.

The next instant, he too transformed into a dazzling blue light, entered the formation where the emperor had disappeared, and followed him.

"Imperial Preceptor, I am leaving now!"

"Grand Preceptor, the capital is vulnerable; I entrust it to you!"

"Imperial Preceptor, I take my leave!"

In a short while, one dazzling stream of martial arts energy after another soared into the sky, like the sun rising in broad daylight, and rushed into the formation to support the emperor.

Some of their children are also involved in illicit affairs, but these powerful figures can also glean some cunning from this choice.

As the strongest national advisor of the imperial dynasty, he remained unmoved and did not go to the Void Sword Sect, while the emperor personally went to the front line.

This is an absurd thing that would never have happened in any other dynasty, but it just so happens in this era!

The Grand Preceptor's majesty was more terrifying than that of the Emperor. He suppressed all officials and heroes in almost every way, and even the imperial power paled in comparison to this fearsome martial saint.

What is a Martial Saint?

There are 12 realms of martial arts cultivation: Blood Refining, Meridian Expansion, Body Tempering, Dragon Platform, Sky Soaring, Secret Treasure, Profound Qi, True One, Divine Bridge, Myriad Transformations, Flawless, and Martial God.

Reaching the 'Flawless' realm means becoming a Martial Saint. Anyone at this level is capable of fighting against powerful demons from the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Palaces using only their physical body.

With top-tier weapons, victory is assured!

For example, the imperial advisor of the dynasty has only taken action three times since he ascended the throne.

With a single sword strike, he cleaved across ten thousand miles, killing the three invading demon clan's six palace masters and leaving them severely wounded and forced to flee.

He personally went to the battlefield and performed a miraculous feat, confronting the Sunset Demon Emperor on the southern border. A fierce battle broke out in the heavens, with the outcome unclear, but the war eventually ended.

On another occasion, the Blood Moon King, dissatisfied with the Grand Preceptor's manipulation of everything and usurpation of royal power, announced his crimes to the world, intending to purge the court of his advisors.

In the presence of hundreds of officials and the people, the two fought in the forbidden area of ​​the imperial court. After only five rounds, the monarch suffered a crushing defeat and had his arm torn off by the imperial advisor.

The latter did not even use any martial arts killing moves, but instead used some unorthodox methods of refining qi and techniques.

But ironically, the Imperial Advisor won. He was an unprecedentedly powerful individual who cultivated both spiritual and martial arts.

Unlike the strongest figures of previous dynasties, who either purely cultivated martial arts or specialized in techniques, the Imperial Preceptor alone possessed both internal and external martial arts skills, overlooking the heroes of the entire imperial dynasty as majestic and insurmountable as a mythical mountain.

If it weren't for the emperor's intercession, the Blood Moon King of that year would have been beheaded in the imperial palace's forbidden area long ago.

After that battle, the Grand Preceptor's power once soared to a level surpassing that of the Emperor.

He is undoubtedly the strongest warrior in the country!

There's nothing wrong with a person like him sitting in the royal city, but some people are just naturally suspicious and mistakenly believe that the younger generation has been kidnapped. Their declaration of war against the Void Sword Sect is a test to show their stance.

Staying in the capital city signifies loyalty to the imperial advisor.

To march against the Sword Sect is to submit to Your Majesty.

However, can an emperor who was helped to the throne by the imperial advisor and whose reign was even suppressed for all his years still be considered an emperor?

The Great Ye Dynasty is different from ordinary dynasties. It is a dynasty that regards military strength as the highest priority. Historically, the emperor has always been the strongest. In a few eras, there have been exceptions, such as the Flying Immortal Dao Lord and the current National Preceptor, who are clearly stronger than the emperors of the same period.

According to the traditional rules left by the First Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, they had the right to assassinate the emperor and ascend the throne at any time. All the people of the Ming Dynasty were dragons, and whoever had the strongest fist was the emperor above all others.

The throne has always been within the capital, awaiting its strongest master, and has remained unchanged for over five thousand years.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

As one powerful, sky-piercing stream of martial energy after another disappeared into the formation, this choice, which outsiders viewed as a test, came to an end.

The four kings, Blood Moon and Crimson Heart, remained inactive, while Xuanfeng and Cangyu went to fight.

Of the ten great generals of the imperial dynasty, several followed the emperor, and more than ten civil and military officials also set off.

The Imperial Preceptor sat quietly atop the Dao Palace, gazing into the distance. He seemed to foresee a catastrophe descending upon the Void Sword Sect, and murmured to himself:

"The show is about to begin."

Chapter 559 One Man Against a Group of Heroes

The vast land to the west of Tianyuan is the most fertile and spiritually rich area among the three major powers. There are thousands of majestic mountain ranges here, and the Tongtian River stretches for millions of miles, flowing into the territory of the Daye Dynasty and the Sunset Royal Court.

Located within the territory ruled by the Void Sword Sect, there are thirty-six prefectures, corresponding to the thirty-six sword peaks of the Void Sword Sect. The officials, prefecture lords, and cultivators who govern the prefectures are all disciples from their respective sword peaks who have more seniority but less talent and are unable to break through to the fifth realm of Qi Refining, 'Mysterious Illumination', in their lifetime.

These disciples are responsible for collecting resources from various continents, protecting the safety of mortals, patrolling the territory regularly, and searching for promising cultivators to supply the sect.

Each prefecture covers a surrounding area of ​​tens of thousands of miles, and in some cases more than a hundred thousand miles, making it quite vast.

Each of the thirty-six prefectures has a massive sword array in operation, linked together like thirty-six stars surrounding the sun. The area at the very center is called the 'Void Holy Land,' the ancestral court where the Sword Sect has always been passed down.

However, in this sacred land where the mountains and rivers are beautiful and the scenery is comparable to a fairyland, a catastrophe suddenly struck.

With a deafening roar, the clear blue sky and white clouds were instantly shrouded in endless dark clouds, and silvery lightning tore through the clouds, leaving behind a series of ferocious streaks.

Accompanied by a terrifying roar, a light deeper and darker than pitch black suddenly cleaved through the void, overflowing with demonic energy like a raging sea.

"Ye You, get out here and face me!"
