Chapter 480: No Kings Under Heaven! The First Emperor Unprecedented!

Chapter 480: Chapter 326: No Kings Under Heaven! The First Emperor Unprecedented!

[The True Martial Lord had personally witnessed the divine might of the “Cyan King” and did not dare to contend with him, retreating one by one, leaving only the leaders of the Martial Arts Hall to guard the Celestial Vault Pass.]

[“Deploy the troops, unify the world!”]

[Xiang Ji returned to Qing Country, raising the Mountain and River Seal high.]

[Qing Country dispatched eight hundred troops, with Xiang Ji personally leading the expedition, appointing Zhao Yun as the commander to attack the Overlord Country Jin Country.]

[Human Emperor’s Decree.]

[——Whoever dares to call themselves a king among the vassal states, Xiang Ji, the Human Emperor, will execute them!]

[——I hope all of you will take heed.]

[As soon as this decree was issued, the world was in an uproar.]

[The decree of Human Emperor Xiang Ji declared that there could only be one king in the world, and that king was him, the Cyan King.]

[Though Qing Country spanned a thousand miles, this was to oppose the entire world. Even if Zhao Yun was mighty, he could not be everywhere. Even with such aspirations, Xiang Ji, the Human Emperor, should not be so tyrannical.]

[The world believed that this young Human Emperor had gone mad with obsession.]

[“That brat Xiang Ji, does he plan to destroy a country with just eight hundred men? Hahaha!”]

[King Jin’s corpulent body shook violently with laughter, the golden cup in his hand clanging on the table, splashing amber wine onto the sheer gown of the beauty beside him.]

[The candles throughout the hall flickered uncertainly with his loud laughter, the civil and martial officials burst into laughter, some even laughed until they were out of breath and had to lean on the pillars.]

[Jin Country’s famous general, the First Generation Soldier Master, had thirty thousand soldiers ready to fight. As long as they held the city, they could rest easy, while how could the land of Qing Country defend itself?]

[King Jin acknowledged that the eight hundred soldiers Zhao Yun of Qing Country led were invincible under heaven, but the Blood Origin Warriors required Spirit Seeds!]

[Qing Country could not afford such an expense!]

[Why did Yuan Country and Jin Country cede land to Qing Country? It was to restrain the divine Zhao Yun.]

[Qing Country was a small nation, Zhao Yun alone could not bear it, it was insignificant.]

[Seven days later, King Jin was still feasting and enjoying himself.]

[“Report—!”]

[A guard stumbled into the main hall, his face ashen: “Great King, an ill omen, Qing Country… Country…”]

[“Qing King Xiang Ji charged through an army of a hundred thousand alone, killing gods as they came and slaying the Qin Soldier Master, incurring into the heartland, breaking nineteen cities in seven days, and marching straight to the capital…” the guard finished the war report in one breath.]

[In the main hall, silence descended.]

[“Say that again?” King Jin’s voice sharpened, “How many troops?!”]

[“Xiang Ji, alone.”]

[Before the words could settle, the entire palace shook violently. Outside, cries of pain mixed with the neighing of warhorses and the crash of collapsing city walls were heard in succession.]

[The clattering of ironclad Personal Guards approached chaotically, only to turn into screams in an instant.]

[Bang!!!]

[The palace doors suddenly exploded, splinters flying, as Xiang Ji, his Profound Armor stained with blood, strode through the flames.]

[“You???”]

[King Jin’s mouth hung agape for a long time, unable to close, his thick lips trembling uncontrollably.]

[Besides the Alien Race Demon Gods, no such single-handed force like “Xiang Ji” had appeared in the history of the Human Race.]

[King Jin’s adam’s apple bobbed violently, squeezing out a smile uglier than crying: “Have you eaten?”]

[The young Human Emperor wiped the blood from his cheek with one hand: “So you all were… waiting for me to eat?”]

[“Yes, yes, why not sit down and eat a little?” King Jin hurriedly pushed the beauty in his arms aside.]

[Xiang Ji spoke calmly: “I said, the world allows only one king. As the Great Xia Vassal King, why do you not respect the Martial Arts Hall’s Human Emperor’s decree?”]

[“Respect, respect, of course, respect!” King Jin looked at Xiang Ji lifting the blood-stained Sky-piercing Halberd and smiled, “It was those treacherous ministers and rebels who deceived me…”]

[“Are you also a king?”]

[Xiang Ji also smiled, the cold gleam of the halberd flashed as King Jin’s head soared, the ingratiating smile frozen on his face while the spurt of blood stained the hall’s pillars red.]

[“From today, I don’t want to hear the term ‘King Jin’ again.”]

[The young Human Emperor turned around, his voice neither loud nor soft, yet it instantly held everyone’s breath.]

[“Respect the Human Emperor’s decree.”]

[The entire hall of civil and martial officials of Jin Country knelt down in unison, their foreheads thudding against the floor tiles.]

[A one-man country destroyer, the tyrant king——Overlord Xiang Ji!]

[As news spread from Jin Country, the remaining six Overlord Countries in Xiazhou Heaven were alarmed, finally understanding that Human Emperor Xiang Ji’s aim was not the hollow title of overlord of the vassals, but to annihilate all vassal states.]

[Xiang Ji dispatched Martial Arts Hall messengers to the various countries, “Human Emperor’s decree, those who do not surrender upon sight of the flag will face the execution of their nine clans!”]

[“Absurd! For ten thousand years, the Human Race has been governed autonomously by the vassals, who does Xiang Ji think he is?! Even if he is the Human Emperor, he cannot rely on the Martial Arts Hall to act so tyrannically!! We will not submit to such a tyrant, let him see what he can do?!”]

[All the monarchs of the various countries were indignant.]

[However, Human Emperor Xiang Ji paid no heed to reason and executed seven kings who dared to challenge him again.]

[This move to kill the chicken to scare the monkey thoroughly enraged the people of the world, but they were helpless against Overlord Xiang Ji; no one dared to stand out, as the True Martial Lord had retreated to seclusion after the Celestial Vault battle, and Overlord Xiang Ji was truly invincible under heaven.]

[Among the many Soldier Masters, not a single one was his match.]

[However, a turning point soon appeared.]

[“Big Snake!?”]

[The chief of the Martial Arts Hall could only see the “white scales” slowly swimming in the mist of the Void Sea, a body comparable to the size of a state heaven land, yet another Demon God to be recorded in the history of the Human Race.]

[They had repelled several Alien Race Great Demons here, but they were no match for such a Demon God.]

[Immediately notify Human Emperor Xiang Ji.]

[“How can there be a Celestial Emperor’s aura?”]

[The white big snake of the Pantheon hovered at the high point of the Void Sea, peering at the Xiazhou Heaven of equal size, sensing the indistinct aura within, its eyes full of dread.]

[It was born to devour “worlds,” just one step away from attaining “Celestial Destiny God.” It wasn’t afraid of the Human Emperor, but the Great Dao cultivated by the Void Sea Celestial Emperor Level figures posed a threat even to the Divine King.]

[“A trap?”]

[The white big snake watched the chiefs of the Martial Arts Hall, uncertain of the state of Xiazhou Heaven, worried about being suppressed by the Human Race’s Celestial Mandate if it ventured deep and then facing that Human Emperor and Celestial Emperor.]

[Threads of thoughts transformed into a small white snake, which sneaked into Xiazhou Heaven amidst the battle between the Martial Arts Hall and other Alien Race Great Demons.]

[It carried the Void Sea’s Ten Thousand Laws.]

[At that time, the Human Race across countries discovered they could cultivate the skills of the Alien Race, and strange people and heroes began to emerge in the wild and mountain ranges, practicing Daoist skill, flying swords, witchcraft…]

[Countless streams of light streaked across the night sky. Sword Cultivators flew over the royal city on flying swords, Gu Masters had centipedes several meters long crawling from their sleeves, and Mages summoned storms of fire with a wave of their hands.]

[There was no need to consume “Spirit Seed,” everyone could cultivate.]

[“Celestial Mandate is with me!”]

[A middle-aged Samurai dreamed of the “white big snake,” carrying three volumes of Celestial Book, traveling the world and uniting various states to resist the Qing Country Overlord.]

[At the same time.]

[“Abolish the Human Emperor! Slay the Tyrant!”]

[Six Overlord Countries and the Vassal States shouted slogans, and heroes from all over responded.]

[For a time, the entire world rebelled.]

[The six Overlord Countries tallied, finding there were actually 108 routes of Dukes crusading against the Qing Country Overlord, Xiang Ji. Among the Dukes was an extraordinary man who set up a “Ten-sided Ambush Grand Array” comparable to the Great Xia Human Emperor’s, combining the dispersed forces of the 108 routes of Dukes.]

[The countries agreed—”Whoever first breaks Qing Country shall be the Duke.”]

[Xiang Ji had no surprises; this “common enemy of the world” situation was precisely what he secretly had the Martial Arts Hall plan for, aiming to pacify the world in one battle by crushing the main forces of the Eight Hundred Feudal States with absolute power.]

[This was the smallest sacrifice he could make!]

[Boom—!]

[Outside the city, suddenly there was a burst of blood light reaching the sky, the Ten-sided Ambush Grand Array was completed. Seventy-two altars lit up at the earth vein’s nodes, twisting the fortune of a million allied troops into one. A strange hero stepped on an Eight Trigrams Disc across the clouds, casting talismans that transformed into Golden Armored Celestial Soldiers.]

[The rebel army cried out, having obtained the assistance of the Celestial Destiny Divine Being!]

[“Abolish the Human Emperor! Slay the Tyrant!”]

[The long spears of the million rebel army shook the earth and mountains, and the shout of ten million people was the direction of people’s hearts.]

[The downtrodden Samurai who once roared “A real man should be like this” on the streets, and the burly man who said, “He can be replaced,” both rose with the tide, donning Duke Armor and replacing the sword at their waist with a Jade-encrusted Treasure Sword.]

[Everyone drank and cheered, with all countries united and having the Celestial Destiny Divine Being, Overlord Xiang Ji was destined to be vanquished!]

[“Three thousand years of divided Dukes, endless warfare, ends today by my hand…”]

[In the Qing Country’s large camp, the firelight reflected in Xiang Ji’s calm eyes, he donned his battle armor, mounted his horse, clenched his five fingers suddenly, making the Sky-piercing Halberd vibrate with a dragon-like tremor, the Exotic Beast beneath him raised its head and let out a heaven-shaking roar.]

[“Record—”]

[“Human Emperor Xiang Ji, greatly defeated 108 routes of Dukes at Mu Ye, thereby uniting the mountains and rivers.”]

[“No king under heaven.”]

Boom!

[With those words, the Young Human Emperor spurred his horse forward, his cloak trailing like a blood-red rainbow. Where the Sky-piercing Halberd swept, the first row of Heavy Armor Shield Soldiers were cleaved in half, both people and shields, their limbs and broken armor flying through the air.]

[“This is…”]

[The Silver Spear in Zhao Yun’s hand suddenly trembled uncontrollably, his pupils contracted sharply—at this moment, Xiang Ji’s silhouette overlapped with the figure of “Yellow Heaven.”]

[Behind him, Taishi Bo of the Martial Arts Hall wielded his pen, the old man’s murky eyes suddenly filled with a bright light.]

[“There can only be one king under heaven—the First Emperor!”]
