Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 978 979: The Tyrannical Azure Emperor

The Cangye Emperor raised his hand and executed Marquis Wu. Such a scene left the entire space in a deathly silence. Everyone's eyes were filled with shock as they gazed at the Cangye Emperor, and even the major lords felt that the aura of the Cangye Emperor was more terrifying now than before he was crippled, like a rebirth from a cocoon.

Indeed, it was a rebirth from a cocoon, breaking and then establishing anew.

After Xiao Tianyu repaired his Immortal Platform, he completely transformed, becoming even more formidable than his former strength.

At this moment, Liu Yan was also completely stunned, as if she couldn't believe all of this. Her beautiful eyes looked at Xiao Tianyu—could it really be this guy who reconstructed the Immortal Platform of her father? How could he possibly have such ability?

It's hard to believe without seeing it with your own eyes.

Thinking back, she thought Xiao Tianyu was bragging, but now?

Especially Di Tian and Di Yun, who once claimed that even the Celestial Emperor couldn't reconstruct the Immortal Platform, thus they mocked Xiao Tianyu, saying he wasn't afraid of biting his own tongue with such claims.

However, now that the Cangye Emperor has indeed recovered his cultivation and is even superior to before.

Just because the Celestial Emperor couldn't do it doesn't mean Xiao Tianyu couldn't.

Yang Fan's expression wasn't looking good either, as he was the one who crippled the Cangye Emperor's Immortal Platform with his own hands, believing it couldn't be restored. But this impossibility turned into possibility, undoubtedly, because just now the Cangye Emperor had suppressed Marquis Wu with a single palm.

If there's anyone in the entire space who remained comparatively calm, that person would be Xiao Tianyu.

"Your cultivation?" The Southern King was stunned for a long time, then roared, "That's impossible... it's impossible! How can an Immortal Platform be reconstructed after being crippled? How could you possibly restore your cultivation?"

The Southern King's voice shook the heavens and the earth. The throne he thought was within easy reach turned out to be an illusion. He couldn't accept it. He had been planning for so many years for this day, but now it was all in ruins.

He even regretted not killing the Cangye Emperor back then. Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened.

"You probably never imagined it, did you!" The Cangye Emperor stood in the void, looking down at the Southern King with cold eyes, "Today is your doomsday!"

Hum~

As his words fell, a storm swept through. In an instant, the stone coffin within the Imperial Palace Hall rumbled as it crushed through the void, finally settling on the ground, making the earth tremble violently, and causing waves of energy to surge. The great lords' hearts trembled.

By now, how could they not know for whom this stone coffin was prepared? It was for the Southern King, not for the Cangye Emperor himself.

Then, the Cangye Emperor, looking at the Southern King with cold eyes, said, "I ordered this stone coffin to be built overnight. It should suit you quite well!"

Upon hearing these words, the Southern King's face turned ashen, showing a hint of despair. But he understood in his heart that having reached this point, there was no retreat, just like an arrow on the string that had to be shot.

"Hmph~ even if you've restored your cultivation, the outcome of today's battle remains uncertain!" The Southern King's expression was grim.

"Just you?" The Cangye Emperor stepped into the void, the Martial Emperor's might suppressing all, his aura reaching the sky. The endless oppression descended from above. Now, with his Immortal Platform reformed, he no longer had to be led by the nose by others.

Although he understood that after today's battle, the Cangye Kingdom would undoubtedly be gravely injured, he had no choice; rebellion must be eradicated.

Then, he shouted coldly, "You all come on up!"

These words caused the faces of the lords to turn blue, their bodies trembling. The Cangye Emperor was too powerful, far beyond their ability to contend with. They deeply regretted choosing to support the Southern King.

Marquis Qin looked at the Cangye Emperor, then spoke boldly, "Your Majesty, we were forced to do this. Isn't there no need to be so relentless, Your Majesty?"

"Rebels, be executed!"

With the sound of his voice, the Cangye Emperor grabbed directly towards Marquis Qin, determined to execute traitors and rebels.

Feeling the boundless suppressing power approaching, Marquis Qin despaired entirely, crying out, "No..."

Bang~

Before the sound even fell, Marquis Qin's body was crushed by the Cangye Emperor's enormous hand, not even leaving any residue. This existence was on another level entirely.

Seeing this, the other lords' expressions all darkened tremendously. Marquis Qin's death made them realize that gaining the Cangye Emperor's forgiveness was likely no longer possible.

But one can't really blame him; throughout history, rebels never had a good end.

"Kill!" The Cangye Emperor shouted harshly, his killing intent piercing the sky. A supreme authority filled his body. Then, his hand trembled slightly as he grabbed towards Marquis Feng, the suppressing power boundless.

Facing the Cangye Emperor's hand, Marquis Feng's face turned ashen. He was merely a Martial King, completely unable to contend with the Cangye Emperor, left only to await his judgment.

"No..."

Rumble~

With a deafening roar, the Cangye Emperor's hand crushed over, leaving not a trace of Marquis Feng's body left in the world. The peak state of the Cangye Emperor was terrifying to witness.

Seeing this, Yang Fan's expression similarly turned sour. His Great Ming Immortal Sect was the force behind the Southern King, hoping to use him to control the Cangye Kingdom. But now, all this seemed to have turned to dust.

Moreover, the reinforcements from the Great Ming Immortal Sect had yet to arrive.

"Everyone, if we don't fight to the last stand, none of us will escape today!" The Southern King roared, stepping into the void and sweeping his arm towards the Cangye Emperor. As a Martial Emperor, he was the only one qualified to battle the Cangye Emperor.

"Hmph!" The Cangye Emperor snorted coldly, his Martial Emperor aura rising incessantly, seemingly without end. Around him, a destructive storm raged. The massive sweeping arm collapsed immediately, causing the Southern King to groan, his expression as ugly as can be.

So strong.

This was the Southern King's first impression; today's Cangye Emperor was far more formidable than before. Though in the same realm, it seemed the Southern King was no match.

"I said it before. If it weren't for the Great Ming Immortal Sect's support behind you, I could crush you with a mere lift of my hand!" The Cangye Emperor's voice was majestic. As he stepped forward, his body seemed to be clad in Golden Battle Armor, exuding majesty. Then, he clutched forward, boundless destructive power sweeping towards the Southern King.

"Want to kill me? It's not that easy!" The Southern King retorted coldly, "I have a trump card, enough to take your life!"

"Oh?" The Cangye Emperor sneered, the destructive power continued to surge, destroying everything in its path, forcing a grave look from the Southern King as he shouted, "Break!"

With the sound, a purple torrent burst from him, roaring forward like an Azure Dragon. Bang, bang, bang~ the incoming destructive power was shattered, yet the Cangye Emperor's hand continued to seize the oncoming Azure Dragon.

Rumble~

A huge roar sounded as the Azure Dragon, formed from the purple torrent, disintegrated into the void. The Cangye Emperor's claw reached towards the Southern King, giving the Southern King no time to think, as he stepped into the void, his figure soaring to the sky, yet still swept by the residual force in the Cangye Emperor's claw, spurting a mouthful of blood.

"What are you all standing there for? Still hoping Liu Zhentian will forgive you?" The Southern King shouted to the lords, his words causing their faces to turn as pale as paper.
