Chapter 999 - Father-In-Law (1/2)

The gods all stood up, including Imperial Emperor Fu Ya and Imperial Emperor Duo Yin. They too, didn't dare to act cocky. Zhong Yue bowed and greeted, "Your Majesty."

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian said warmly, "King Yi, I am here for Feng Shengyong's life. He is, after all, a peaked Imperial Emperor, an ancient great presence. They are more useful alive than dead…"

Zhong Yue abruptly interrupted, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the conditions I've laid back when I was appointed as commander in the Xian Tian Palace?"

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was startled, he softly nodded, "I do."

"I demanded rights to kill!" Zhong Yue replied solemnly, "I demanded powers to act outside of Your Majesty's jurisdiction! I demanded the freedom to act without Zi Guang's inputs! I demanded the freedom to act, not needing to report and seek approvals from Your Majesty beforehand! These were the 4 conditions Your Majesty has promised me before I willingly be appointed as the commander of a mere million gods, and helped conquering the vast land."

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian nodded, "King Yi, your merits are immeasurable and undeniable, it could even be said that you've single-handedly raised a kingdom on your own. But Feng Shenyong and Fu Baozheng bring great enhancements to our Xian Tian Palace's top-tier combat abilities. They are the ancient great presences, their prowesses are invaluable, if we kill them…"

"What makes Your Majesty thinks that you can control them? They've even betrayed the Fuxi Clan, what guarantees are there they wouldn't betray Your Majesty? If it wasn't because I had the strength to strike them down, what Your Majesty will be witnessing will not just be mine, but also the corpses of all 500 million gods of the Heaven Suppressing Grand Stronghold. Even the ownership of the Heaven Suppressing Grand Stronghold will be lost too."

Zhong Yue took out the commander's seal, token, gown, and girdle, and placed them at the sides. He lowered his voice, "If Your Majesty still decides to trust these traitors instead, please, have the commander's equipments back and have someone else safeguarding the Heaven Suppressing Grand Stronghold."

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian frowned, he said, "King Yi, keep them with you still. I've given my order, Fu Baotian will be arriving with my decree for you to spare them. A commander has rights to act before the lord's approvals; but when the lord's orders have been given, the commander shall execute them as per told. King Yi, reconsider the situations."

Then, his body dispersed into smoke and vanished.

Imperial Emperor Fu Ya frowned and murmured, "Imperial Emperor is angered. King Yi, shouldn't you reconsider your choices again?"

Imperial Emperor Duo Yin nodded, "Imperial Emperor's anger stems from King Yi's uncontrollable behaviours. If you insist so, the Imperial Emperor's reputation will be impaired in front of the many armies. This is not what a wise advisor would do."

Zhong Yue swung his sleeves, sat back and commanded in a solemn tone, "Continue the execution!"

Sovereign Ning gulped, he surged his arcane energy and continued swinging the saber!

After a few dozen strikes, he was finally able to behead Feng Shenyong. But suddenly, he was stunned and quickly reported, "Lord, there is no blood!"

Then, flesh squirmed out from Feng Shenyong's severed neck and regenerated a new head. A provoking smile radiated across his face.

"Let me!" Zhong Yue abruptly stood up and strode forth. With a change of thought, a bright white ray hovered in mid-air, turning into a divine saber and was heavily brought down from the sky.

In just a swing, Feng Shenyong's head rolled to the stage floor and blood flowed out from his neck!

It shocked the crowd, Pu Ya, Duo Yin, and even Yin Fukang were surprised. They immediately stood up and stared right towards the stage.

This strike was created from the emotions, thoughts, and experience Zhong Yue acquired when executing Feng Zhen; that swing would be able to slice the Dao totem patterns within the body and not even monarch level body could take it, let alone Feng Shenyong.

Zhong Yue sheathed his saber, sat back to the seat and said, "His blood is flowing out now, continue the execution!

The cut on Feng Shenyong's neck regenerated quickly and in a blink of an eye, another head grew out, wearing a horrified and panic expression as he watches Sovereign Ning's saber struck down mercilessly.

No longer calm and steady, the mocking laughter on his face disappeared for Zhong Yue's attack had shattered the immortal Dao totem patterns in his body and Yuan Shen; now, his immortality was no more!

At the same time, when the divine blood in his body flowed out, the blood seeped deep into the ground, triggering the God Slaying Stage's power and Feng Shenyong could right away tell that the power in his own blood had turned into every possible way that countered him; as if there were innumerable hooks, these hooks chained right onto the Daos in him, his Yuan Shen, body, energy and psyche!

Sovereign Ning was a peak Creator, the saber in his hands was formed from his sharp talon that was nurtured in his body for years and his racial talent was a talent that targets Yuan Shen and soul!

Feng Shenyong could only watch hopelessly as the saber being swung at him, despair and anxiety crept into him. But suddenly, he caught a glimpse of someone rushing towards him and hope immediately returned to him.

Fu Baotian is here! He is here to save me with Imperial Emperor Xian Tian's order! If I managed to get out alive, I will expose this little brat's secret, show him no mercy and what is called looking for his own death!

Outside the walls, Fu Baotian's presence roared and with a rumbling voice, he shouted angrily, "King Yi, accept your orders!"

Sovereign Ning stopped right away, the saber rested right above Feng Shenyong's head and he looked towards Zhong Yue, who ordered without hesitation, "Execute him!"

"But master…." mumbled Sovereign Ning cowardly.

Seeing the reluctant and hesitation in Sovereign Ning, Zhong Yue disappeared from the seat and emerged beside him, forcefully took over the saber and with a swing, Feng Shenyong's head was already on the ground!

Sovereign Ning had a shock but Zhong Yue had already turned away while throwing the saber back to him.

"You!" shouted the angered Fu Baotian.

Zhong Yue however, bowed and calmly said, "The order."

Fu Baotian's eyes were wide opened, he shivered as he held Imperial Emperor Xian Tian's order scroll in his hands and he looked towards the stage in intense shock. On the stage, the blood flowed like a river as Feng Shenyong's blood gushed out from his body and flowed right into the cursed soul pool.

When his body was killed, what died along with it was the soul in his Yuan Shen and that entirely erased every chance for him to be revived!

"How dare you!"

Fu Baotian pointed at Zhong Yue angrily and shouted, "Imperial Emperor Xian Tian wants you to set Feng Shenyong free but you killed him! You are really brave! Today on this stage, your head will fall right beside Feng Shenyong's!"

Zhong Yue however, stood up, wore a bright smile on his face and laughed menacingly, "Messenger, how can you speak like that? Besides, have you read the order?"

Fu Baotian stuttered and he immediately humphed, "You know very well what the Imperial Emperor wants! You will not save your life after going against His Majesty's order!"

Zhong Yue remained smiling and he said, "Senior Martial Brother Fu, look at my army, are they strong?"

Fu Baotian looked around and what entered his vision was 50,000,000 soldiers that acted in perfect sync, which was a quality only possessed by an elite army!

"Now, look at my generals, are they mighty?" asked Zhong Yue again.

Fu Baotian took a look at the generals, who consist of almost 60 Creators, and with the addition of Yinkang Clan's gods, there were almost 100 Creators and there was still peak Imperial Emperors such as Yin Fukang on the scene!
