Chapter 347 - Double Kill in the Heavenly Palace
Chapter 347: Double Kill in the Heavenly Palace
Outside the Heavenly Palace were two rows of guards standing. They were armed with long spears while being shrouded in immortal luminance, radiating murderous aura.
There were four of them on each side, all of the Golden Immortal Realm. Their cultivation base was neither high nor low. An appropriate level to be a guard.
When they looked over at Jiang Ming, faint bursts of thunderous rage could be seen in their eyes as their killing intent rose.
Upon seeing such a scene, the Verdant Emperor frowned slightly.
After stepping foot past the palace gate, the extremely vast main hall was right inside.
Above their heads were the sprinkles of Xuanhuang’s aura. The atmosphere was filled with endless clouds with a dense Divine Aura.
Immortal officials could be seen on the left and right sides, where most of them were standing.
On the furthest end on both sides, there were a total of 24 esteemed seats. Currently, there were only two of the seats taken. Their figures remained blurry to the eyes, hence it was difficult to see their appearance. However, right above their heads, one could see the orders of the Dao being evoked, imbued with the supreme law and the power of divinity.Even a Great Overarching expert had to bow their heads in their presence.
Right at the center which was also the innermost part was an incomparably huge seat of honor.
It was 81 feet high, and sitting on it was a 108 feet tall giant. This person was the Heavenly Emperor.
The Heavenly Emperor was of the highest status, the greatest, the most holy, the most majestic, the most noble, the most dignified, representing the highest position and of the highest authority.
Below him were all Daoist bodies in human form.
This was the prestige of the Heavenly Emperor, with peerless dominance, so much so that no one would have a higher status than himself.
“Your Majesty!” Dongfang Changqing came over to the center, bowing his head slightly, “Fellow Taoist Jiang Ming has arrived as invited.”
The fact that he used the word ‘Invite’ was to show respect to Jiang Ming.
“Verdant Emperor, please take a seat!” The Heavenly Emperor nodded slightly. His voice echoed through the hall, imbued with supreme power.
Dongfang Changqing hesitated a little, and said to Jiang Ming, “Fellow Taoist, please be more patient!”
Jiang Ming merely smiled in response, declining to comment. He had already ‘seen through’ the Heavenly Emperor’s plan based on the Human Path Record.
Name: Cang Xuan.
Status:
: To think that this Jiang Ming was so courageous to come over. Even I myself admire his valiantness a little.
: Does he have great confidence in his own strength? Or is there some sort of peerless person backing him up, giving him the confidence that no one would dare to lay a finger on him?
: Even if he was nurtured by a Saint Lord himself, it is impossible for him to silently cultivate to such a height. It is certain that this Jiang Ming basically originates from the Chaos.
: Alas! The means to shuttle the Chaos! No matter how he did it, it is still worth exploring.
: Now that he’s here, this is just the right timing. I’ll use him to push forth with my plans.
: There are many immortal officials from the Tai Xuan Gate, Sacred Sect, and God Clan in the Heaven Court. Trying to use them to impede me? Hehe! No one knows that some of them have already submitted to me. I’ll let them come forward to persecute Jiang Ming. Let this ignorant peerless expert entangle himself with these three forces. I will sit back and watch them from afar, adjust my strategy according to the outcome to suppress all these three forces.
Jiang Ming secretly sighed.
This Heavenly Emperor was really an old cunning fox. Just as Jiang Ming arrived at the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Emperor had already hatched a plan.
‘Using me as the fuse?’ Jiang Ming smiled secretly to himself.
Dongfang Changqing was seated on the first seat on the left.
The Heavenly Emperor portrayed a smile on his face, as if to express his goodwill. However, before he could speak, a young man with a height of 30 feet and a face filled with blood-colored lines standing below took the lead, “His Majesty is the Heavenly Emperor, the most venerable, the most holy and the most noble. And you, a mere mortal, how dare you not even bow down in respect in the presence of His Majesty? You really are a shallow being, incapable of comprehending honors and humility.”
Jiang Ming merely took a glance at him.
He was a Great Overarching expert from the God Clan, named Hu Sanpao. He served as a general in the Heaven Court and acted as a guard in one of the places. In fact, he had been secretly made to submit to the Heavenly Emperor.
“Jiang Ming!” A slender young man dressed in white said indifferently, “To have killed our Heaven Court’s Immortal King and defeated the best god of war, you have committed treason against heaven. This is a heinous crime. Hence, he should be executed at theImmortal Guillotine, to have his body severed in pieces, his soul destroyed, so that he never will be reincarnated, so as to show the supremacy of our Heaven Court!”
Upon hearing his words, many Immortal officials were very well aware of what was happening.
Hu Sanpao originated from the God Clan. The person just now, Bai Liu, was from the Sacred Sect.
These two forces had nothing to do with each other, but they had a tacit agreement just now to make a move against Jiang Ming. Hence, it was obvious that they saw through the intention of the Heavenly Emperor to recruit this human. As such, they rushed to speak up first to cut off the possibility of him being recruited.
“Are the Sacred Sect and the God Clan really wanting to go against His Majesty?”
Many immortal officials had doubts in their hearts.
By publicly robbing His Majesty of his words, it was akin to refuting His Majesty’s in public. Although it was not a direct confrontation, it was already obvious enough.
Normally, such a thing wouldn’t have happened. After all, although the two forces had been growing bigger, there was still too much of a gap when they were compared to the Heaven Court.
Could it be that the two forces were joining hands to break away from the Heaven Court?
There were a lot of doubts lingering in the hall, yet no one understood what was going on in the end.
Jiang Ming’s face turned gloomy, “Is this the hospitality shown by the Heaven Court towards a guest? Before the owner even speaks, the dogs have started jumping out and barking wildly. Haha! This is really insightful.”
“How dare you!” Hu Sanpao yelled.
“Presumptuous!” Bai Liu was furious.
“To first kill our Heaven Court’s Immortal King, followed by desecrating our Heaven Court in the main hall. According to the laws of heaven, you are to be killed and your soul destroyed!” Hu Sanpao sneered again, “No matter what’s your identity or where you originated from, if you commit a capital crime, you will be executed. Tell me scumbag! Will you end your life yourself? Or do you go to the Immortal Guillotine for a walk?”
“What did you say?” Jiang Ming finally got angry.
Jiang Ming didn’t mind going along with them when they put up such an act but he was enraged when he was being insulted.
‘God damn it! Do you think I don’t have a temper? I’m done with the acts. I want to flip the tables over right now.’
“Hehe! A mere beast that is ignorant to the world…”
Before Hu Sanpao even finished speaking, Jiang Ming suddenly made a move.
Hu Sanpao’s pupils shrunk immediately. In an instant, a thought ran through his mind and the Laws Net appeared. It drew upon the supreme and mighty force to form 720 layers of defensive luminance in front of him.
“Getting aggressive in the Heavenly Palace? Insolence!” Hu Sanpao sneered, “Didn’t anyone tell you that the Laws Net in the Heavenly Palace is the strongest in the world and can double up our combat power?”
As soon as his words trailed, he saw a scene that terrified him. The 720 layers of defensive luminance were wiped out in the blink of an eye. A single finger also landed between his eyebrows.
Puff…
A soft sound could be heard before a hole was seen between his eyebrows. Hu Shanpao’ primal spirit was directly destroyed and his vitality was cut off in an instant.
A peerless Great Overarching expert was killed right in the Heavenly Palace.
The many Immortal officials were dumbfounded with a face filled with disbelief, followed by endless shock.
‘God damn it! How arrogant and fearless is this guy? Has he grown tired of living?’
There was a saying in the world that even a Saint Lord might be suppressed if he were to step foot into the Heavenly Palace.
“You said you wanted to destroy my very soul so that I can no longer be reincarnated? I shall fulfill you!” Jiang Ming looked over at Bai Liu and launched his attack yet again.
“Presumptuous!”
“How dare you!”
“Such arrogance!”
Loud shrieks from many of the Immortal officials reverberated in the palace. In an instant, endless thunder appeared out of thin air, as though it was a materialized representation of their boundless anger.
Even the Heavenly Emperor stood up with his face cold and pale. However, he did not make a move.
Dongfang Changqing also frowned and was extremely puzzled, ‘Could this person be a fool? There is also Hu Sanpao, who has always been a transparent person in the past. Why is he so abnormal today?’
He noticed something was amiss, but when Jiang Ming began killing in public, his heart was set ablaze with anger as well. After all, this was the Heaven Court. It was the most sacred place, the most disciplined place, and a place that should never ever be trampled over.
Unfortunately, Jiang Ming totally ignored it.
Although Bai Liu had already taken out his Dao weapon, evoked his peerless special abilities and even triggered the Laws Net, he was still being killed by Jiang Ming with just a punch.
All the immortal officials in the Heaven Court were enraged, but the strange thing was that none of them took action directly.
“Jiang Ming!” Dongfang Changqing finally couldn’t bear it anymore as he stood up and released an immeasurable divine might, “Why did you get physical?”
“That’s very simple! It’s to cooperate with the Heavenly Emperor himself!” Jiang Ming flicked his shirt and said with a big smile.
“To cooperate with Your Majesty?” Dongfang Changqing suddenly had a bad premonition.
The Heavenly Emperor put on a straight face. He was a little puzzled as well.
However, Jiang Ming continued, “As of today, the six Saint Lords have gone towards the Sea of Chaos to realize the realm above the Holy Dao, leaving only one Saint Lord to stand guard, yet he ignores the trivial matters of the world!”
“As an ancient existence, the Heavenly Emperor wanted to sanctify the way of Dao back then, not to mention now.” Jiang Ming spoke swiftly.
The Heavenly Emperor listened quietly.
“Do you still want me to continue?” Jiang Ming paused and looked at him.
“Alas! To sanctify the way of Dao! Who wouldn’t want to!” The Heavenly Emperor sighed emotionally, “Go ahead, I want to know whether you, a newcomer from the foreign realm, really understand the situation in our world?”
“Great tactic!” Jiang Ming gave him a thumbs up, “Your words have planted the seeds of doubt in the hearts of everyone present. After all, I am but a foreigner. No matter what I say, it is not worth believing and that they would have to embrace what I say with a doubtful attitude.”
“Just go ahead! No matter what you say, you won’t be able to leave today!” The Heavenly Emperor sat down slowly, with grandeur, “I also want to know how much you know about our world!”
Although the rest of the immortal officials were very angry, because the Heavenly Emperor had spoken, they could only listen and showed curiosity at the same time.
“I’m guaranteed to satisfy you!” Jiang Ming smiled brightly.
He was sure that his next words would definitely make the Heavenly Emperor go crazy and satisfy his wish for a great battle.
