Chapter 488 - 487: Proclaiming to All Under Heaven

Chapter 488: Chapter 487: Proclaiming to All Under Heaven

A golden light flickered around the Great Tang Emperor. His entire being, even his aura, seemed to merge as one with the Sacrificial Altar.

WHOOSH!

Then, with a flick of his Hand Technique, a golden light flared on the Sacrificial Altar, condensing into the shape of a pen.

The pen was formed from coalesced golden light, as if condensed from the Emperor’s Qi itself, and it held a supreme might.

It was a power that made one’s soul tremble for no reason.

This was the Emperor’s Pen!

"Serving Heaven and Accepting Destiny!" As the Holy Decree manifested in the air, the deep words issued from the Great Tang Emperor’s mouth.

Then, with a thought, Emperor’s Qi immediately began to condense above the Golden Dragon Altar, ready to be infused into the golden Holy Decree.

At the same time, the Great Tang Emperor held the Emperor’s Pen and wrote upon the Void, guiding the condensed Emperor’s Qi to brand itself onto the Holy Decree.

Guided by the Great Tang Emperor’s Pen, the Emperor’s Qi condensed, and the word "Serving" was branded onto the Holy Decree before him.

At the same time, tendrils of Emperor’s Qi coiled around the word.

’So this is how the Celestial Emperor writes a decree?’ Seeing this, Ling Fei’s heart stirred from a distance.

A Celestial Emperor’s decree had once appeared at the Celestial River Academy, releasing a supreme might. Only now did he understand how such a thing was created.

’It’s far more complex than I ever imagined.’

As Ling Fei marveled to himself, the character for "Heaven" was also branded onto the Holy Decree.

’It’s said that the Great Tang Emperor’s Holy Decrees possess a supreme might, just like a Dharma Artifact. So this is how they’re written.’

Seeing this, the cultivators from the Lingyun Sect all wore looks of sudden understanding.

At the same time, they were all deeply awestruck.

The sheer depth and breadth of the Martial Arts filled them with longing.

Soon, the four words "Serving Heaven and Accepting Destiny" were completely branded, and the aura of the Holy Decree intensified noticeably.

"The Celestial Emperor Decrees!"

The Great Tang Emperor continued to write the proclamation.

As time went on, word after word was branded onto the Holy Decree.

From a distance, the Holy Decree ahead burst with golden light as Celestial Might pulsed from it. The aura it radiated was so potent that even Divine Mansion Realm Powerhouses would feel wary.

"The Celestial Emperor’s Technique is truly extraordinary," Yuan Huaitian said in a low voice.

"If you were to ask who could possibly exterminate all Evil Demons and turn this desperate tide, I’m afraid it would only be Emperor Tang," Master Xuan Ji said with a nod.

The Elders of the Lingyun Sect looked on with even deeper reverence.

The aura emanating from the Holy Decree made their Heart Spirits tremble; it was truly like facing a Celestial Emperor in person.

Only now did they understand why even figures like Yuan Huaitian and Master Xuan Ji treated Emperor Tang with such deference.

’A single piece of paper, a single word, yet it contains supreme might. This is a true Great Divine Technique, a truly grand method!’ Ling Fei’s eyes burned with fervor.

As he gazed into the distant Void, he could feel the blood in his veins begin to boil.

’This is the kind of power I’ve been pursuing.’

’In my opinion, all other Martial Arts are insignificant compared to this.’

’Only by reaching this Realm can one be considered a true powerhouse.’

An hour later, Emperor Tang finally finished writing the decree.

The Holy Decree hovered in the air, densely branded with large, shimmering golden words.

A Golden Dragon was coiled around the Holy Decree, and a vast Dragon’s Might emanated from within, shaking the heavens and earth.

It had been condensed from the Emperor’s Qi, transforming into a Golden Dragon that empowered the Holy Decree.

"Proclaim it to the world!" When the Holy Decree was complete, Emperor Tang’s eyes flashed. With a guiding motion of his hands, a vast and mighty power erupted from the Sacrificial Altar before him.

This immense power shook the Void, creating ripples across it as if communicating with heaven and earth. The Holy Decree flashed and disappeared into those ripples.

Then, with another flash, the Holy Decree appeared high in the sky.

A vast Celestial Might instantly enveloped most of the Southern Wilderness.

As the Celestial Might gathered, every cultivator in the Southern Wilderness sensed its presence.

"What’s happening!?" Immediately, cultivators emerged one after another, all looking up at the sky.

Then, the people of the world saw a Holy Decree suddenly materialize in the firmament, so vast it seemed capable of blotting out the sky.

The Holy Decree blazed with golden light, resembling an immense True Dragon coiled in the sky. The aura it radiated made cultivators from every Sect gaze up in awe and fear.

"Serving Heaven and Accepting Destiny, the Celestial Emperor Decrees... The Evil Dao’s Corpse Spirit Hall has invaded, encroaching upon Our Southern Wilderness and slaughtering countless of Our people. The Beiming Sword Sect has colluded with the Evil Dao... We, of humble ability, have received Heaven’s grace, been granted stewardship of the Celestial Emperor’s Divine Artifact, and have been honored as the Celestial Emperor. Now that the children of Heaven suffer, We shall naturally enact justice on Heaven’s behalf!"

As the Holy Decree hovered in the sky, the proclamation branded upon it flashed into view for all to see.

At the same time, Emperor Tang’s voice thundered across the land.

The voice reverberated everywhere. The sound waves carried a Celestial Might that filled all who heard it with solemn respect, while also inexplicably stirring their hearts and lifting their spirits.

"Serving Heaven and Accepting Destiny! Is that the legendary Holy Decree?"

"The Celestial Emperor... could it be the Great Tang Emperor? Does the Great Tang Emperor know that the Evil Corpses have invaded our Southern Wilderness and are slaughtering our people? Has he come to save us?"

As this voice rang out, the cultivators from every Sect, major city, and Major Clan felt their spirits soar.

For days, hordes of Evil Corpses from the Corpse Spirit Hall had plagued the Southern Wilderness. They had not only massacred the millions in Lanshan City but were continuing to invade other cities as well.

Faced with this crisis, ordinary cultivators felt utterly helpless, completely unable to contend with the Evil Corpses of the Corpse Spirit Hall.

Even when cultivators from various Sects joined forces to resist the Evil Corpses, it was still futile.

Because these Evil Corpses were too unnatural; if they injured a cultivator, that person would lose their mind and attack their own allies.

Furthermore, these Evil Corpses were elusive, appearing and disappearing like ghosts. They launched surprise raids on cities, and without any warning, how could an ordinary Martial Arts Clan possibly defend itself?

As a result, everyone in the Southern Wilderness Martial Arts World, even the mortals, had been living in constant fear, terrified that the Evil Corpses would one day appear at their door.

However, the Major Sects of the Southern Wilderness, which they had always relied upon, had failed to deliver any good news about defeating the Corpse Spirit Hall.

This left the Southern Wilderness People fraught with anxiety.

Now, the Great Tang Emperor had issued a Holy Decree for all the world to see, giving these people a glimmer of hope.

"This Holy Decree pulses with Celestial Might, and its aura is overwhelming! This isn’t something an ordinary person could create. I’m certain the Great Tang Emperor must be a figure of Heaven-Reaching power!"

"With the Great Tang Emperor enacting justice for Heaven, our Southern Wilderness is saved!" At once, many people began to weep with joy, their faces breaking into smiles they hadn’t worn in a long time.

The Celestial Might released by the Holy Decree in the sky was simply too powerful.

Such Celestial Might left even Nascent Soul Powerhouses at the Divine Wheel Ninth Layer Realm completely shaken.

When the voice from the Holy Decree spread, even the cultivators of the Lingyun Sect were stunned.

Soon, messages began to arrive, asking the people of the Lingyun Sect if Emperor Tang himself had come.

The members of the Lingyun Sect immediately sent messages back, confirming for the various Sects that it was indeed a Holy Decree issued by Emperor Tang.

And so, the news instantly spread throughout the entire Southern Wilderness Martial Arts World.

"It’s Emperor Tang! Emperor Tang has really come!"

Instantly, the Southern Wilderness Martial Arts World erupted in an uproar. Those who had been mired in grief and despair were now filled with fighting spirit.

With the news confirmed, they no longer had to speculate. A wave of reassurance washed over them.
