Chapter 224 - Happy Ascension (1/2)

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The entire coronation was a bustling sight. The longer the country emperors sat, the more confused they became. The majority of the people working hard outside were the immortal guards from other continents. Moreover, there were people occasionally walking in to ask the Immortal Emperors to help out. Gradually, the only people left in the palace were the country emperors with nothing to do. In that frame of time, they felt uneasy, as though something was off.

They stared at each other for a while and battled with these strange emotions for a few hours before the coronation finally begun.

Emperor Yi Qing had finally entered and the Celestial Emperors who had gone out to help were behind him, alongside Young Emperor Lonemoon that Pao Hui had mentioned. He appeared to be extremely friendly with the Celestial Emperors and as they walked, he was still discussing something with the Celestial Emperors alongside him with a happy expression.

It was only until the Celestial Emperors had all returned to their seats that the country emperors heaved a sigh of relief. For a brief moment, they did not raise their heads to care about what the crowd was saying. After all, they were merely congratulatory statements. However, the person who replied them all the way was the Junior Emperor called Lonemoon while Emperor Yi Qing did not say a single word. What was surprising was that the Celestial Emperors all did not find it rude and acted as though it was normal.

The country emperors could not say anything. As they touched the wounds on their bodies, they felt both enraged and worried. This new Emperor was evidently unmoved by both force and persuasion, their lives were probably going to get much tougher.

Initially, Yi Qing had battled the different continents’ country emperors in the Invincible Sect, so there was sure to be a few who were unhappy with him. They had wanted to make use of the coronation to add fuel to the flames and get their revenge. However, they did not expect that all the Celestial Emperors would be here, and their enthusiastic attitudes were completely unlike an Immortal Emperor, but rather an immortal guard of the Invincible Palace. Their hopes were dashed and they could not say anything until it suddenly became dark outside.

The palace that was originally brimming with Immortal Qi suddenly had a gust of evil wind that blew past. In an instant, the sky darkened and a black aura wafted from the Heavenly Gate, causing even the country emperors to feel a cold sweat down their spine.

This was…

“Demonic Qi!” A country emperor exclaimed. The bustling palace suddenly fell silent.

As the crowd turned their heads, they saw a huge field of demonic Qi flying their way and a disciple hurriedly came over to report.

“Reporting to the sect master, the Demon King and his 10 Skyfiends are here.”

The Demon King!

The people in the palace all took a deep breath, the 10 Celestial Emperors’ expressions also paled and they looked nervously at the huge wave of demonic Qi outside. Even Lonemoon who had been sitting and smiling also frowned, after a while, he waved his hand and said, “Let them in!” Why were they here too?

The Demon King had actually come, the country emperors first tensed up, then their eyes lit up and they rejoiced in their hearts, feeling as though they had gotten their revenge. The demons had come for the Celestial Emperor’s coronation, this was evidently a demonstration of their power!

The Bo Sea was near the Demon World and today was a big day for the Celestial World. Now that the Demon King had personally come, it would be impossible for a conflict not to break out.

Hmph! So what if Emperor Yi Qing was on good terms with the other Celestial Emperors? No matter how strong he was, he could not stop the entire Demon World single handedly. By that time, the people defending the Bo Sea would still be them. With the enemy at the gates, he still dared to treat them badly and use them to establish his reputation. Let’s see how he handles this!

The country emperors immediately felt elated, anticipating the new Emperor disgracing himself, then they would be able to regain the face they lost. They all involuntarily looked towards the tens of figures that walked out from the demonic Qi. They saw them quickly walk through the door into the palace, then…

Knelt neatly within the palace.

Huh?

The country emperors: “…”

The Celestial Emperors: “…”

What the hell?

(゚Д゚≡゚Д゚)

“The Demon King brings his 10 Skyfiends to visit the Exalted Goddess!” The Demon King cupped his fists towards the person in front of him and knelt thrice. The Skyfiends that were following behind him also knelt on the ground in an orderly line, their attitudes extremely respectful.

“Hey, Blackie!” Shen Ying took time out from munching on her fruit to wave and greet him. “Have a seat.” She turned her head and saw that there were already no empty seats.

“Thank you Exalted Goddess, Standing is pretty good, pretty good!” The Demon King grinned, then stood up and obediently stood to the side. The 10 Skyfiends behind him also moved like quails, quickly standing behind him, not even daring to raise their heads.

The atmosphere in the palace immediately became awkward.

The Demon King appeared to have triggered some standing punishment.
