Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 874 - 875: The Legend Reborn

Shock.

Awe.

At this moment, a silence akin to eternity enveloped the cosmos; everyone was stunned by the sight, including Xiao Tianyu. The power to comprehend the will of all living beings—even he, Xiao Tianyu, had never encountered such strength before—was simply overwhelming.

Truly, there are people beyond people, heavens beyond heavens.

Xiao Tianyu secretly felt fortunate that he hadn't acted against this guy earlier, otherwise, he'd probably be on the receiving end of a beating.

At this moment, the Demon Emperor, Radiant Emperor, Great Emperor Jiuxian, all gazed in shock and fear, an intense fear accompanying their awe.

Is an Emperor truly that strong?

Yet now the Demon Emperor, who was as renowned as these other three Great Emperors, was suppressed and struggling underground with just one move from the opponent. What about them?

"Let your Five Capitals' Great Emperors come and plead for forgiveness!" At this moment, everyone's minds resonated once again with the words Li Tian had spoken earlier. Suppressing a Great Emperor with a single step—what realm of cultivation had he reached? It definitely surpassed the Emperor Realm.

The exalted Great Emperor, reduced to insignificance.

Would Earth's beings submit and kneel? They are not worthy. With him, Li Tian present, who would dare invade Earth? Even Great Emperors lack that capability.

Who claimed Earth was an ant-like world to be bullied?

Yet now? Facing Li Tian, the Five Great Emperors had no choice but to be suppressed.

"Quite bold, daring to defy the Heavenly Lord's authority and trespass on Earth!" Just at this moment, dark clouds churned in the void, and a group stepped through the air, arriving as they sensed Li Tian's universal will.

"Heavenly Lord?"

Upon hearing this, a tidal wave surged within the hearts of the Five Great Emperors. They even felt that the youthful figures descending through the void were not opponents an Emperor could contend with.

"Greetings, Heavenly Lord!"

Thud~

Thud~

In the void, all the newcomers dropped to one knee, saluting Li Tian. This scene exacerbated the fear within the Five Great Emperors, as the aura of each strong invader was more terrifying than theirs, yet they paid obeisance to Li Tian.

And when Li Tian asked them to plead for forgiveness, they dared to descend with arrogance—were they worthy?

"Senior Brother One, Senior Brother Two, Senior Brother Four... You're all here!" Li Tian offered a faint smile to the void; these individuals were none other than Celestial Star, Liao Yunfan, Dugu Feng, and others.

"Is this heaven?"

"He is truly the Heavenly Lord at the pinnacle of the firmament?"

"This..."

A thousand years ago, Li Tian battled Yuan Zhen, witnessed by the myriad worlds of the universe. Though it has been a thousand years since then, and the structure of the myriad worlds has undergone drastic change, Li Tian's name has already been recorded in the annals of universal history, becoming legendary. And who doesn't know his name?

"Heavenly Lord, are we truly fortunate enough to witness the Heavenly Lord here—is this not a dream?"

"It's so awe-inspiring, to think the Heavenly Lord has been hidden on Earth!"

"No wonder he dared to demand the Five Great Emperors come and plead for forgiveness—asking for forgiveness was giving them face!"

"..."

Now that Li Tian's name was revealed, even the foolish among the Five Great Emperors knew who he was—other than the Celestial Emperor, the other four revealed expressions of extreme despair in their eyes.

"A thousand years have passed, it seems people have forgotten him!"

Now, all present understood the meaning behind Li Tian's mention of that thousand years.

"Oh my heavens—isn't this a dream?" Guan Zhongyuan felt the scene before him was surreal. When he was in school, the teacher had told them that the universe's turmoil a thousand years ago was just a mythical story, mere legend—not real. He felt duped by the teacher for years.

Who said this was legend or mythical story?

Now the great hero from the universe's unrest a thousand years ago stood right in front of him—is this still a mythical story?

It turns out, all of this is real.

"Heavenly Lord!" At this moment, Liao Yunfan spoke coldly: "These four have committed all sorts of evils in the Immortal Realm; how does the Heavenly Lord wish to handle them?"

"Heavenly Lord, spare us—we did not know the Heavenly Lord had descended, hence we violated the Heavenly Lord's authority. Please spare our lives!" The Four Great Emperors bowed, what arrogance from before remained?

Li Tian's gaze shifted, overlooking the four as he spoke nonchalantly: "Earth's dignity is not something you can challenge. Your evil deeds are known to me, but there exists someone who will deal with you!"

Li Tian continued: "The myriad worlds have laws; for good and evil, there will always be consequences. I prefer not to break these laws; there are beings who will come to take care of you!"

"Yes, yes, yes~" The Four Great Emperors nodded repeatedly: "We promise not to commit further evil deeds!"

Yet Li Tian ignored them, only casting his gaze toward Liao Yunfan, speaking: "Third Senior Brother, let them leave!"

Li Tian disdained killing these individuals, just as he said—they will meet their end eventually; it's only a matter of time.

"Alright!" Liao Yunfan nodded, coldly glaring at the Four Great Emperors: "Scram!"

"Thank the Heavenly Lord for sparing our lives!"

"Thank the Heavenly Lord for sparing our lives!"

"…"

Soon, a group of individuals fled with their tails between their legs, fearing that a moment's delay might prompt Li Tian to reconsider, leaving them stranded.

As for the Celestial Emperor, he gave Xiao Tianyu a slight smile before departing, but the tremors in his heart remained unsettled. Fortunately for him, considering Xiao Tianyu's standing, he chose not to hold Earth accountable. Otherwise, his fate might mirror that of the other four Great Emperors.

In the void.

"Celestial Emperor, stop right there!" The Demon Emperor shouted. The Celestial Emperor's brows furrowed: "What is it!"

"What is it? You have the nerve to ask?" The Demon Emperor snorted coldly: "Just now on Earth, only you showed utmost respect and stayed out of it—did you already know the Heavenly Lord's identity?"

Upon hearing this, Great Emperor Jiuxian, Radiant Emperor, Saint Emperor all had an epiphany—indeed, among the Five Great Emperors, only the Celestial Emperor was left unpunished. And the moment he arrived, he distanced himself from the matter. Would anyone believe he didn't know the Heavenly Lord's identity?

Of course, the Four Great Emperors wouldn't consider that the Celestial Emperor refrained from invading Earth due to Xiao Tianyu.

In their view, the Celestial Emperor must have known Li Tian's identity beforehand; otherwise, how could he display such respect without imperial pride on Earth?

"It has nothing to do with you!" The Celestial Emperor snorted coldly and walked away. He wasn't humble enough to be threatened by the Four Great Emperors.

"Hmph, the chosen one resides in your Celestial Capital—we will visit sooner or later to challenge!" The Saint Emperor snorted, and the Celestial Emperor voiced his response: "I'll be ready at any time!"

With that said, the Celestial Emperor entered a wormhole and disappeared, leaving the Four Great Emperors with grim expressions. Indeed, arrogance—a curiosity to see how he would protect the chosen one.

...

Emperor Star Academy.

After the departure of the Five Great Emperors, Liao Yunfan offered a gentle smile to Li Tian: "Heavenly Lord, it has already been a thousand years since you saved the beings of the myriad worlds during the battle against Yuan Zhen. Yet you haven't visited the master—he misses you greatly!"

"If I were to say, I slept for a thousand years straight, you probably wouldn't believe me!" Li Tian replied earnestly.

"You slept for a thousand years?" Hearing this, Liao Yunfan and the others were momentarily stunned. Trusting such a claim would be absurd—clearly, he just didn't want to visit the master.
