Chapter 633 - 632: Submission? Not Needed

Chapter 633: Chapter 632: Submission? Not Needed

As the flames burned, Yi Tianyun retracted his Evil God form, returning to a more normal state. His entire body was covered in black armor. He no longer looked as sinister as when he had transformed into the Evil God, but he was still awe-inspiringly majestic.

He didn’t go up and deliver a ruthless finishing blow to end Supreme Emperor Qianyuan’s life. Dealing with him was too easy; Yi Tianyun had no intention of killing him so quickly. He wanted to take his time.

Not only had the man neglected his duty, but he had also tried to kill his own successor. Killing him so simply would be letting him off far too easily.

HUFF... HUFF... HUFF...

After a long moment, Supreme Emperor Qianyuan finally managed to completely suppress the encroaching flames, but his body was practically crippled. There wasn’t a single patch of unblemished flesh on him. This time, he had been burned even more thoroughly than before; one arm and both legs were gone.

He continuously released the Power of Life from within his body to heal himself, but his recovery speed was much slower than before. Although he could regenerate lost limbs, his injuries were now too severe, and the amount of Spiritual Power needed to recover was staggering.

Under these conditions, the time required for recovery was much longer. In the blink of an eye, the Supreme Emperor they all revered had been burned to a near-crippled state and showed no signs of immediate recovery, causing their morale to plummet instantly.

"Well? How does that feel?" Yi Tianyun said coolly.

"Don’t! Don’t be rash! I’m willing to go back to being a Guardian..." He hastily held out a hand to stop Yi Tianyun from acting. He now knew the terror of his opponent. No matter what move he used, the other party could crush him, countering him completely.

"You think you still have a chance?" Yi Tianyun shook his head. He had no intention of giving him even the slightest opportunity. The matter was already decided. Whether he returned to being a Guardian or not was meaningless.

The seal would inevitably break within a hundred years. He had originally considered letting him go, but since the man had developed the intent to kill him, letting him live was no longer an option.

Yi Tianyun had always been one to repay every grievance. He wouldn’t claim to be an absolute saint, and he was certainly not one for foolish compassion. Anyone who showed him hostility was a dead man!

Even if it meant the world’s destruction, he would carry on. There was no grand reason; he just had to kill! Besides, if killing his enemy would truly cause the world to end, then let it all be destroyed.

Whoever provoked him, no matter who they were, would surely die!

"I... My Qianyuan Empire will submit to you forever! I can swear an oath and become your slave..." he screamed continuously as his body rapidly repaired itself. At the same time, he roared at the ministers to the side, "What are you all still doing? Get over here and kneel!"

The ministers at the side, their hearts filled with terror, scrambled over. They didn’t dare to meet Yi Tianyun’s gaze, let alone entertain any thought of revenge.

Their previous arrogance had been utterly extinguished, as if doused by a bucket of cold water. Now, they had no choice but to submit.

"We... We are willing to submit! We will serve Celestial Cloud Emperor as our Great Emperor..."

Each and every minister was terrified. Now they finally understood why the World Dragon Empire had been destroyed. Faced with such a terrifying Great Emperor, who would dare not submit?

He killed anyone who resisted. Who would dare to stand in his way?

Yi Tianyun glanced over with a cold gaze. Emperor Qianyuan was kneeling on the ground, his previous arrogance long gone. Humiliation was the last thing on his mind; all that remained was fear.

"I... I apologize for what I said before. I shouldn’t have spoken like that..." Emperor Qianyuan groveled. He looked nothing like a Great Emperor; his courage had long been shattered by fear.

It wasn’t that he lacked the dignity of a Great Emperor, but when faced with a power he could only look up to in awe, his only choice was to submit. A wise man submits to the circumstances. Although it was somewhat humiliating, submitting to a peerless emperor was not truly a disgrace.

"Mm, I accept your submission..." Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

Joy flickered in the hearts of the many ministers as they raised their heads, only to be met by a terrifying ball of fire. Before they could even react, they were engulfed by the flames.

Accompanied by a bloodcurdling scream that quickly faded, they were all burned to charred cinders, utterly dead. This included Emperor Qianyuan, who was also burned to death by him.

"We all submitted to you! Why did you still act so ruthlessly?!" Supreme Emperor Qianyuan roared in fury. By now, his severed limbs had almost fully regenerated.

"I don’t believe for a second you were willing to submit to me. You were just stalling for time, weren’t you?" Yi Tianyun said with a faint smile. "Just like you were unwilling to be the Creation Celestial Divine King’s Guardian. You’ve always had the heart of an emperor. How could you possibly be willing to submit to another?"

His intentions exposed, Supreme Emperor Qianyuan didn’t offer a rebuttal. Instead, he tapped his foot. In an instant, countless flower petals rose from the ground and closed in, wrapping around Yi Tianyun layer by layer.

Within these petals was a shimmering, eerie green liquid. It was poison! It was as if he had condensed a lifetime’s worth of venom, and it now enveloped Yi Tianyun.

It happened so suddenly that the petals instantly merged, sealing Yi Tianyun tightly within.

"Hahaha... Let’s see you survive this! This is the Myriad Ages Corrosive Poison! Even if you’re at the Saint King Stage, you’ll be poisoned if you absorb it!" Supreme Emperor Qianyuan laughed, overjoyed.

’My son may be dead, but as long as I live, that’s enough. How the others died is none of my concern. As long as I’m alive, I can always have more descendants and recruit new imperial ministers.’

’Besides, once I establish the First Empire, all other factions will have no choice but to submit to me!’

"I don’t know how powerful it is, but I have no intention of finding out." A ghostly voice came from behind him. Supreme Emperor Qianyuan whipped his head around in terror, only to find that Yi Tianyun had appeared behind him at some unknown point.

"You... you..."

Before he could finish his words, Yi Tianyun grabbed his head and slammed it into the ground. With a THUD, flames erupted wildly, instantly igniting him from head to toe and turning him into a human torch.

"Any last words?" Yi Tianyun asked while unleashing an even more frantic torrent of flames. This time, he was going to kill him for good, not let him drone on any longer.

"I... This time I’m truly willing to submit! I’ll be your slave for life! When the Demon Fiends break the seal, I can be the first to charge into battle!" he screamed, begging Yi Tianyun to spare him.

"It’s too late. The moment you first refused me, you were sentenced to death..." Yi Tianyun’s voice was devoid of emotion. For a traitor, there was nothing to forgive, especially one who had rejected his offer.

"Then you can just die with me!"

Supreme Emperor Qianyuan roared, grabbing Yi Tianyun’s arm and unleashing a terrifying power from within his body, trying to take him down with him.

"Then you can die first." Yi Tianyun pressed down with his hand, and a terrifying force crushed the Supreme Emperor’s head. And just like that, it was all over...
