Chapter 595: Chapter 594: Godslaying

Yi Tianyun wasn’t the least bit surprised by the old man’s appearance. The World Dragon Empire’s foundation was astounding. ’So their true heritage is this Supreme Ancestor!’ A Saint King Stage expert. Even if he wasn’t in a perfect state, he was still far stronger than any Spirit King Stage powerhouse.

"S-Supreme Ancestor..."

Former Emperor Chen Xuan knelt, heaving a sigh of relief. Their most powerful backer had appeared. ’What’s there to be afraid of now?’ The Supreme Ancestor would only show himself when the World Dragon Empire was on the brink of destruction.

His appearance now confirmed that the World Dragon Empire was indeed facing annihilation. So many Spirit King Stage experts were already dead. ’If one more dies, who will be left to support the World Dragon Empire?’

The Supreme Ancestor could take over as ruler, that wasn’t an issue, but for how long? Even though he had broken through to the Saint King Stage, he didn’t have much time left.

The ministers of the World Dragon Empire breathed a collective sigh of relief upon seeing the Supreme Ancestor. Emperor Shilong was already dead; they couldn’t afford to lose Former Emperor Chen Xuan as well.

They really couldn’t withstand any more blows. If this continued, they wouldn’t even have a single Spirit King Stage expert left. So much for their "Five Kings"; soon, there would be no kings at all!

"The Supreme Ancestor has appeared! That kid is a dead man! I heard the Ancestor already broke through to the Saint King Stage—the Saint King Stage!"

"The Saint King Stage... When will I ever reach that level..."

"Keep dreaming. You should count your lucky stars if you can even reach the Spirit King Stage!"

The surrounding Cultivators looked at Yi Tianyun with pity. ’No matter how arrogant he is, there’s finally someone who can put him in his place!’

The Supreme Ancestor sighed deeply as he looked at the corpse lying in a crater in the distance. "So, it has come to this," he said. "My friend, how about we let this matter rest?"

"Supreme Ancestor, th-that’s your grandson! He killed him! Are we just going to let him walk away?" Former Emperor Chen Xuan was stunned. He had expected the Supreme Ancestor to put Yi Tianyun down, not seek a truce.

’Isn’t this a case of an old man burying his own kin, only to watch the killer walk free?’

The Supreme Ancestor ignored him. Instead, his piercing gaze fell upon Yi Tianyun. "How about you do me this favor?" he said in a low voice. "If we truly come to blows, I believe neither of us will come out ahead, will we?"

"A Saint King Stage expert?" Yi Tianyun looked at the old man and chuckled. "So I beat up the junior, and now the senior steps in to take his place? I don’t think you have that much clout. If my cultivation were any weaker, I’m sure you wouldn’t have even given me the time of day. You would’ve just attacked and killed me, right?"

The Supreme Ancestor wasn’t unwilling to fight; he simply didn’t dare to act rashly. ’My life is already nearing its end. A fight with Yi Tianyun might shorten it even more.’

Though inwardly seething with rage, his Perception told him that his opponent was incredibly strong—so strong that even he couldn’t handle him easily. ’Under these circumstances, I can only choose to endure!’

"Supreme Ancestor..."

"Shut up!"

The Supreme Ancestor’s voice entered Chen Xuan’s mind via sound transmission. "A moment of impatience can ruin a great plan. This boy’s cultivation is likely at the Saint King Stage as well. If I fight him, I’m not guaranteed to come out on top. Crucially, he is far younger than I am; I would never win a battle of attrition. The best course of action is to compromise for now. Once you break through to the Saint King Stage, we will join forces and eliminate him!"

"So for now, no matter what, you will grit your teeth and endure it! Once you’ve made your breakthrough, their death warrant will be signed!"

Of course, the Supreme Ancestor used a voice transmission; he would never say such things aloud.

Former Emperor Chen Xuan gritted his teeth, shot a hateful glare at Yi Tianyun, and then reluctantly nodded in acknowledgement. He too could sense Yi Tianyun’s immense power. If unleashed, it would be no different from that of his own Supreme Ancestor.

Under such circumstances, they truly did not dare to fight recklessly.

Just as the Supreme Ancestor was about to explain the situation to Yi Tianyun, a figure shot forward with killing intent. A tyrannical phantom of the Dragon God materialized, but beyond it, an even more powerful phantom appeared, enveloping the Dragon God’s image.

This phantom was that of Yi Tianyun himself. After he manifested his own phantom, the image of the Dragon God transformed into red armor and overlaid it. His aura instantly exploded, multiplying several times over! His Combat Power skyrocketed. In his current state, he could slay a god should he meet one!

In the blink of an eye, he was upon them, his fist smashing toward Former Emperor Chen Xuan. It all happened so fast. Before a single word could be said, Yi Tianyun had attacked, leaving everyone completely stunned.

As the fist rushed toward him, Former Emperor Chen Xuan’s pupils shrank. Once again, he felt the cold breath of death upon him!

"You wish!"

The Supreme Ancestor roared. With a flip of his hand, a golden light flared, and his palm was instantly covered in thick, golden Dragon Scales. He was yet another practitioner who had cultivated by ravenously devouring the Essence Blood of the Dragon Race. But in the face of the Dragon God Bloodline, there was only one possible outcome—suppression!

"Get out of my way!"

Yi Tianyun sneered, not even bothering to dodge as he smashed his own fist forward.

BOOM!

The Supreme Ancestor was blasted away, completely unable to block the blow. Yi Tianyun’s fist continued onward, smashing squarely into Former Emperor Chen Xuan’s chest!

"NO!!" Former Emperor Chen Xuan threw his hands up in a desperate attempt to block, the will to survive surging from the depths of his soul.

But it was pointless. He hadn’t been able to withstand a punch from afar, let alone a direct blow like this.

"Die!"

Yi Tianyun’s fist bloomed with a dazzling light that completely swallowed Former Emperor Chen Xuan. THOOM! A pillar of light once again shot toward the heavens, piercing straight through the thick cloud cover and blasting it into oblivion.

"Xuan!" The Supreme Ancestor’s eyes flew wide in disbelief. He never imagined that Yi Tianyun would kill his son right before his very eyes! ℯℯ𝑙.

"Peace? Just because you say so?" Yi Tianyun’s gaze was ice-cold. "If I hadn’t been able to withstand your assault, my empire and my people would have been annihilated long ago. This isn’t over just because you want it to be!" To think a few words could make him back down... ’What a joke!’

’If I don’t eliminate the key figures, how will I ever establish my authority? If I back down now, the Celestial Cloud Empire will lose all its standing.’

’Anyone who provokes me has only one path to walk, no matter who comes to their aid. And that path is death!’

"You... you killed Xuan! I’ll have your life for this!" the Supreme Ancestor roared. The Golden Dragon Bloodline within him erupted furiously. Thick golden Dragon Scales layered over his body, one on top of the other, unleashing a power that far surpassed anything Emperor Shilong and the others could muster.

The purity of his Bloodline was a cut above the rest; as the Supreme Ancestor, possessing such power was only to be expected. But Yi Tianyun was fearless. He knew that killing Former Emperor Chen Xuan would completely enrage the man.

He felt not a shred of regret. ’So what if he’s a Saint King Stage expert? I’ll just blow him away with a single punch!’

"A Saint King Stage expert, is it? Let’s see just how strong a Saint King Stage expert can be!" Yi Tianyun sneered, utterly fearless.
