Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 1042 1043: Destroying the Celestial Stele

Soon, under the gaze of everyone's pupils, the masked youth slowly rose into the air, ascending along the towering Celestial Stele. This scene left many people bewildered.

What is he doing?

Isn't he supposed to claim the Heaven-breaking Stele?

People were puzzled by the intentions of the masked youth. Then, they saw him standing mightily atop the Heaven-breaking Stele, looking down with the eyes of an unparalleled king.

He said, "The Heaven-breaking Stele is nothing special!"

What does he mean?

Upon hearing this, many were confused, but in the next moment, they saw the masked youth stamp down hard on the Heaven-breaking Stele with a loud crash. Instantly, dark clouds filled the sky, and the earth trembled, as if this stomp could rend the heavens and the earth.

Soon after, that thunderous Heaven-breaking Stele began to shake, teetering on the verge of collapse.

They were dumbfounded.

Upon seeing this, everyone was in a state of shock. Did he intend to destroy the Heaven-breaking Stele? This Heaven-breaking Stele that could sever the sky was so sturdy, how could it be destroyed?

BOOM~

Then, another deafening footstep resounded. Soon, an immense and terrifying vortex formed above the sky, enveloping the heavens. From within the vortex, bolts of lightning struck the Celestial Stele.

"What a powerful aura!" Even the five Emperors felt a twinge of fear in their hearts as they sensed the terrifying aura emanating from the Celestial Stele, their eyes fixed intently on the extraordinary youth atop it.

The extraordinary youth, his clothes fluttering, seemed like a descended Divine Venerable.

Bang Bang~

Not long after, terrifying rumblings echoed through the space, and as people looked again at the Celestial Stele, they were dumbstruck.

Someone couldn't help but exclaim, "The Celestial Stele has cracked, my god, can he really destroy the Celestial Stele?"

"This is impossible, how could the Heaven-breaking Stele crack under just two steps? How strong is he really?"

"..."

Swish Swish~

Countless gazes fixed on the Heaven-breaking Stele, only to see that under the feet of the masked youth, the towering Heaven-breaking Stele began to crack, with countless fissures appearing, threatening to collapse at any moment.

The crowd could not believe this was real.

The Five Emperors had gathered, all for the sake of this artifact, yet now it was on the verge of destruction.

BOOM~

In an instant, another thunderous sound echoed, and a rift appeared in the void stretching for miles.

Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh~

With the sound of the explosion, the Heaven-breaking Stele, which had shielded half of the sky, began to crack. A massive boulder fell from the void, prompting everyone to dodge for fear of being crushed beneath it.

Soon, under their gaze, the towering Heaven-breaking Stele completely turned into a mountain of rubble, and as for the Heaven-breaking Stele, it no longer existed.

Astonishment!

Shock!

What a shocking event; the Five Emperors nearly caused an unprecedented epic battle across the Immortal Realm for the Heaven-breaking Stele, yet now it had turned to dust.

But people were puzzled as to why this man wanted to destroy the Heaven-breaking Stele? After all, it was a treasured artifact.

Little did they know, he did all this for Ye Qingcheng, for a true genius does not rely on external things to empower themselves. They rise step by step, only then can they truly conquer the heavens and forge a future of legend.

"Do you think obtaining the Heaven-breaking Stele will make you invincible? To seek dominance over the Immortal Realm with a mere stele, do you think that's possible?"

"The Heaven-breaking Stele is nothing special!"

Now, the two sentences spoken by the masked youth echoed once more in people's minds. They hadn't understood them before, but now they knew he was someone who could destroy the Heaven-breaking Stele.

"As long as the Celestial Stele stands, the Holy Capital stands. Once the Celestial Stele is gone, the Holy Capital shall fall!" someone said lightly.

Upon hearing this, all eyes turned towards the Saint Emperor, wondering if the rumors were true.

The Saint Emperor saw all the eyes upon him, his own filled with deep panic. He didn't want to believe any of this was real, and he regretted it immensely, but what good was regret? He had brought this upon himself.

If only he had let Ye Qingcheng and the others return earlier, would this have happened now?

Then, the masked youth stood in the void, looking down with his deep, cold eyes holding no other color.

"What do you want?" The Saint Emperor finally couldn't help but speak: "Ye Qingcheng has already been saved by you, and I've paid with an arm as a price. Do you still want to finish us off?"

"I gave you three breathing moments to reconsider, and since you didn't cherish them..." he paused, and the masked youth's massive hand descended from the void, suppressing everything, enveloping the Saint Emperor: "you missed your chance."

The moment he spoke, his mighty hand came down, casting a shadow over the Saint Emperor, whose eyes filled with despair: "No... you can't do this…"

HUM~

With that said, the Saint Emperor's imperial power burst forth, sweeping across heaven and earth, attempting to destroy the descending hand. But soon, he realized that the hand was indestructible, and even his terrifying imperial might couldn't harm it in the slightest.

The other four Emperors were equally astonished by this terrifying hand as if they couldn't believe such a terrifying being existed in the world. This person's realm had to be at least at the mid-third layer of the Martial Emperor, otherwise, how could a casual strike render the Saint Emperor powerless?

Saint Potian trembled, knowing that his once-proud father could not withstand a single blow from the opponent. What about himself?

He wondered if the opponent would spare him? After all, people from the Immortal Realm tend to eradicate enemies completely, leaving no hidden dangers.

Then, under everyone's gaze, they saw that the giant hand held the Saint Emperor's body in its grasp, a scene eerily similar to when the Saint Emperor had grasped Ye Qingcheng just moments ago.

"Let me go!" The Saint Emperor struggled; he was an Emperor, ruling over the Holy Capital's vast territories. How could he willingly die like this?

"Are you afraid too?" The masked youth's voice was cold. The next second: "Boom..."

The body of the Saint Emperor turned into a cloud of blood mist in the opponent's hand, once again plunging the entire space into deathly silence.

Is he dead?

The Saint Emperor, one of the Five Great Emperors, just died like that?

An Emperor's fall, how could this be possible?

They were dumbfounded.

Many simply couldn't believe it. Emperors, in their minds, were peak existences, untouchable, yet this moment saw the fall of an Emperor.

Little did they know, everyone is mortal, even an Emperor is no exception. After all, at the end of the day, an Emperor is still human.

The fall of the Saint Emperor also subtly made other Emperors sense fear. Even as Emperors, it seemed they were still like ants in the opponent's hand. What was laughable was they still harbored ambitions to rule the entire Immortal Realm. Did they possess the power?

Certainly, wherever there are people, there is ambition and desire, especially among these peak figures, always wanting to eliminate rivals, unify the Immortal Realm, becoming the supreme overlords.

Even today's events could not extinguish their desire to rule the Immortal Realm.
