Chapter 1470: Chapter 1461: Grand Imperial Assembly

Ultimate Universe!

Ten Thousand Slaughter Realm!

In a certain eerie great hall, there were a dozen or so Soul Jade plaques of powerful entities in the Cause and Effect Realm, emanating a scintillating glow, adding a hint of brightness to the pitch-black surroundings.

A middle-aged man wearing a gray robe, with cultivation reaching the Three Knowledge Realm, sat cross-legged, eyes closed in meditation.

He was the manager of this hall, his task unbelievably simple: just to see if the Soul Jade fragments.

To him, it was almost as if there was no task at all.

Cause and Effect Realm powerhouses!

They stood at the pinnacle of the endless universe, invincible. Even if they encountered a stronger enemy within the same realm, they could easily escape.

In billions of years, he had never seen a Soul Jade fragment; he had almost forgotten his primary responsibility.

Crack!

Suddenly.

A shattering sound echoed through the silent great hall, piercing to the ears.

"Am I hearing things?"

The man’s eyelids lifted slightly, thinking he had misheard.

But still diligent in his duty, he stood up to check, glanced at the high platform where the Soul Jades were placed, and immediately widened his eyes, his scalp tingling, every hair standing on end.

What did he see?

One Soul Jade was shattered into pieces!

This indicated that a powerful entity in the Cause and Effect Realm had fallen!

"Something catastrophic has happened!"

His body trembled, he staggered out of the great hall, and struck the ancient bronze bell, summoning the powerful ones of the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall.

Shortly after, the first hall elder, the second hall elder, and over ten powerful entities of the Cause and Effect Realm gathered in the hall, their expressions icy, murderous rage boiling.

"This Qin Dynasty possesses such audacity!"

One elder roared in fury.

In the Ultimate Universe, there was an unspoken rule: killing an opposing entity of the Cause and Effect Realm meant issuing a challenge to a life-and-death battle, ending only when one side was annihilated.

"Second Hall Elder, I request orders to annihilate the Qin Dynasty!"

Another elder with sinister eyes and rolling Evil Qi stepped forward to ask for battle orders loudly.

"Indeed!"

"The Qin Dynasty must be destroyed, otherwise what will become of the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall’s dignity?"

"Since the ghost envoy joined the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall, completing over ten million assassination missions, he was a meritous figure of our hall, and we must avenge him!"

The crowd was excited, echoing one another.

Boom!

A series of terrifying auras erupted from their bodies, surging out of the Ten Thousand Slaughter Realm, causing the entire Ultimate Universe to tremble slightly, large sections of space-time warping.

The brilliant light of slaughter dyed the cosmos red.

That was the power of death!

The summons of the Grim Reaper!

"Silence!"

The first hall elder at the forefront frowned slightly, releasing an even more terrifying aura, like a gust of wind, smoothing out the ripples in space-time, dispersing the rampant momentum.

The crowd’s expressions changed, looking at the first hall elder in surprise.

"The fall of the ghost envoy hasn’t rung a wake-up call for you?"

The first hall elder looked around at the crowd, asking in a deep voice.

The crowd lowered their heads without replying.

"The Qin Dynasty is not simple, you should have seen it! Knowing the enemy is powerful, why not investigate thoroughly and then devise an infallible plan?"

"Do you really think our Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall is invincible?"

The first hall elder’s voice, somewhat somber, echoed in the hall.

"Isn’t it?"

The elder who spoke before asked in defiance.

He had joined the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall for eight hundred billion years, his tracks traversing almost the entire endless universe, not encountering a more terrifying force except for a few of the same level.

He had always thought the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall was invincible!

"Envoy Gu, I know over these years you’ve explored the universe, where you tread, you have no match, disregarding any forces, but have you really explored this boundless universe completely?"

The first hall elder shook his head.

Here, he paused, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes, saying in a deep voice: "To my knowledge, at the end of the endless universe, there exists something that could wipe out the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall!"

Envoy Gu was shocked, a look of utter astonishment on his face.

Not just him, the rest of the high-ranking members of the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall also wore expressions of disbelief.

However, they didn’t doubt the first hall elder’s words as, for a long time, he’d always followed the Hall Master, exploring unknown places.

"First Hall Elder, can you elaborate?"

Envoy Gu hurriedly asked.

"I don’t know the specifics, I’ve just heard the Hall Master mention something about a ’Cosmic Catastrophe’... Forget it, I won’t say more. I just want to advise you not to view the world with a narrow vision!"

The first hall elder waved his hand as he spoke.

"Please enlighten us on what we should do next, First Hall Elder?"

Envoy Gu and the others of the high ranks of the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall exchanged glances, bowing to ask.

After knowing there were even more powerful existences in the universe, most of their inner arrogance and pride had vanished.

The first hall elder didn’t immediately give an answer, pacing back and forth in the hall for a few laps before ordering in a deep voice.

"Envoy Gu, you personally take a trip to the Qin Dynasty, ascertain the enemy’s strength, and find out the ghost envoy’s cause of death; remember not to engage in conflict with the Qin Dynasty!"

"Rest assured, our Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall stands at the pinnacle of the universe, we won’t let the ghost envoy die in vain!"

"Once the Qin Dynasty’s strength is clear, we will strike immediately!"

The coldly eerie voice echoed in the hall, transformed into endless killing intent, making many of the high ranks of the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall reveal a hint of a smile.

...

Half a month later.

In the Nine Provinces, all the Qin Dynasty’s citizens went crazy with joy. They flew out of the world’s veil, waving flags in their hands, staring intently into the distance.

Around noon, the distant starry sky was turbulent, dyed red by overwhelming murderous and rolling Evil Qi.

"They’re coming!"

"They’re back!"

A powerful citizen shouted excitedly, causing the crowd on-site to boil.

A short time ago, victorious news continuously echoed above the Imperial Capital, from which they learned of the frontline army’s glorious deeds in annihilating the Voidness race and slaying a Three Knowledge Realm powerhouse.

Out of reverence for the powerful and respect for heroes, they awaited early.

Soon, the army arrived outside the Nine Provinces’ greater world.

Zhao Yun, Lv Bu, Xiang Yu, Yue Fei, and other generals rode on warhorses, smiling, waving to greet the people, showing no hint of a powerful demeanor.

Towards enemies, they were the most ruthless, merciless killers.

But to their own people, they showed the best side of themselves.

All sentient beings are compassionate.

What they seek is merely what’s in their hearts.

Being generals of the army, their thoughts were naturally to protect the country, shelter the realm, and safeguard the people.

An hour later, Zhao Yun, Bai Qi, Huo Qubing, and others passed through the world’s veil, while the other legion soldiers temporarily stationed in the starry sky, awaiting further arrangements.

After entering the Imperial Capital, they didn’t hesitate and immediately headed to the imperial palace, entering the court assembly.

"Greet Your Majesty!"

Upon entering the court assembly, they respectfully saluted.

"Please rise!"

On the throne, Qin Wudao saw the numerous ministers and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, they stood in their own positions.

"My beloved ministers!"

Qin Wudao took a document from the royal desk, slowly opening it, smiling as he said, "Next, I have a matter concerning the foundation of the nation to discuss with you all!"
