Chapter 1453 - Absolute Power (2/2)
If one had not personally seen what was happening and heard what was being said, no one in the universe would believe that the number one god emperor in the Eastern Divine Region would assume such a humble and low stance and speak in such a subservient and humble manner.
However, nobody present would despise or ridicule him for doing so.
When someone who could decide your fate with a flick of a finger stood in front of you, this was the most undignified and humiliating choice one could make, but yet at the same time, it was also… the most intelligent and rational choice one could make.
Furthermore, there were not many people in this current era who could even say those words with such clarity when they were under the devilish might of the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor.
Moreover, with Qianye Fantian, the number one god emperor in Eastern Divine Region, setting a precedent, it seemed to have punctured the last layer of dignity that the gathered Divine Masters had. The legs of more than a few people were trembling, as if they could hardly wait to kneel down on the spot and swear their allegiance to the Devil Emperor.
They did not have any power to restrain or resist her...
The master of this universe was about to completely change.
Between death and submission, the absolute majority of living beings in this universe would choose the latter with no hesitation whatsoever.
It was just that they had never faced such a choice before and had never imagined that they would one day be faced with such a choice in the first place.
However, it was a pity that even if one were to discard their dignity and bend their knee in submission, it did not necessarily mean that they would get to live. Because the power to decide… had belonged to Jie Yuan all this while.
The corner of her mouth slowly tilted up in an incredibly disdainful and mocking arc. Every single person present could clearly feel her disdain and contempt as she said, “So these are the descendants of Mo E’s dogs, the descendants of the god race who could only spout about righteousness… Hehehe… Hahaha… HAHAHAHAHAHA…”
She suddenly started laughing wildly, her laughter incredibly unbridled and wanton, but… it was also filled with a boundless sorrow and melancholy. As her laughter fell, her hand gesture suddenly changed at that particular moment and a pitch-black oppressive might fiercely pressed down following the flip of her palm.
“Eh!”
“AHH!!!”
Stifled groans of terror rang in the air. That dark pressure was not only pressing down on Qianye Fantian, it was also pressing down on the six Star Gods of the Star God Realm and the… five Moon Gods of Moon God Realm, and that included Xia Qingyue!
Under the oppressive might of a Devil Emperor, they were instantly forced down to their knees and they were left unable to stand.
“Mo E’s dogs, even if they are only their descendants, all of them deserve to die!!”
The Brahma Heaven God Clan, the Star Gods, the Moon Gods… During the Ancient Era, all of them had been the subordinates of Heaven Punishing Divine Emperor Mo E!
Mo E had already died, all the gods had fallen, so her vengeful hatred and fury would undoubtedly fall on these descendants… No, on these power inheritors who could not even be called proper descendants.
Everyone reeled in great shock as they backpedaled in panic. Mixed in with their shock and fear was several degrees of rejoicing… Just like the Eternal Heaven God Emperor, they had also realized that this Devil Emperor who had reappeared in their world was not as irrational or cruel as they had expected. She still possessed reason and her mind was clear. She clearly could have killed all of them, yet she had focused all of her wrath on the ones who had inherited the powers of Mo E’s god clans.
Perhaps… the others could escape this calamity?
As they retreated in shock and fear, all of them were thinking the same thing.
They had all seen the Three Brahma Gods die in front of them and that all-encompassing oppressive might had rendered Qianye Fantian and the gathered Star Gods and Moon Gods completely helpless. The only thing they could do was to embrace the despair that was swiftly spreading through every part of their bodies.
“Crap!” Mu Xuanyin muttered under her breath.
Qianye’s death and the death of the Star Gods had nothing to do with her, but the Moon Gods… Xia Qingyue was counted amongst them!
“Wait… wait a minute!” the Eternal Heaven God Emperor yelled in a quavering voice, “Lord Devil Emperor… They… are not of the god race, they are only… UWAAAH!”
Besides the Eternal Heaven God Emperor, no one else stepped forward to stop her or plead on their behalf. As people who sensed that they could perhaps escape this calamity, why would they risk instant destruction just for someone else?
Before the Eternal Heaven God Emperor’s voice had even fallen, a beam of black light pressed against his body, as it abruptly suppressed his voice and fiercely pressed down against his body. After that, Jie Yuan’s voice, a voice that was a hundred thousand times more terrifying than a death god’s, rang out in the depths of everyone’s soul, “It looks like you also really want to die!”
“Xi Ke’s dogs… also deserve to die!!”
“My… my lord!” the gathered Guardians were instantly so shocked and horrified that they wished to die… But, in front of the power of a Devil Emperor, in front of the hatred of a Devil Emperor, who could save him!?
In this current world, gods were existences that should not appear any longer.
Given the current aura in the Primal Chaos, it was basically impossible to birth any more True Gods. Even some of the True God artifacts that had been left behind from the Ancient Era had swiftly grown weaker as the aura in the Primal Chaos changed… and this included Heavenly Profound Treasures such as the Eternal Heaven Pearl.
In this current universe, did such a thing as “absolute power” exist?
It did not. Every king realm was extremely strong, but there were other king realms to keep them in check.
Even the supreme ruler of the Primal Chaos, the Dragon Monarch, could not openly do whatever he wanted to.
However, if a True God were to descend on this world… Then, it meant that an absolute power that should not have appeared had appeared. An absolute existence.
Just like the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor who had returned from beyond the Primal Chaos!
The power that she possessed transcended the boundaries of the current universe, transcended the heavenly laws and principles that bound this current Primal Chaos. She could decide the life and death of any living being with a single whim. She could determine the fate of any single race.
The law and order of the Primal Chaos Realm would be controlled by her alone from today onwards and all living creatures would be her slaves… No one would have any power or any possibility of resisting her. As long as she was willing, she could even annihilate all things in this current world, living and dead just to vent her anger and resentment. Or perhaps she could reset the Primal Chaos and let it develop from there, transforming it into a universe that belonged to her alone.
The future world, the future living beings that existed in the Primal Chaos, all of it would be prostrated at the feet of the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor alone… This was the future that they could all see and it was the best possible future.
From today onwards, the universe would start to change dramatically...
As they thought of this, whether it was their expression or their inner thoughts, all of it was masked by a heaviness and gloom… and for the Brahma Monarch Realm, Star God Realm, Moon God Realm, and Eternal Heaven Realm… there was only despair.
However, it was at this time that a surge of violent profound energy suddenly erupted in the face of the devilish pressure that even Divine Masters could not resist. This violent profound energy also started radiating a blood-colored profound light.
Even though this profound energy was strong, who were the people who were gathered here today? Given their level of power, this could only be described as a thread of lowly and pathetic profound energy.
However, it was this thread of profound energy, that was pathetically weak in their eyes, that caused the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor’s eyes to fiercely tremble. All of the malice, hatred, killing intent, and even the released Devil Emperor power froze in place.
Yun Che slowly walked out from behind Mu Xuanyin. The blood-colored profound energy radiating from his body was still dense and glaring even under the oppressive might of the Devil Emperor. He stared straight at the eyes that the Devil Emperor had suddenly directed towards him as he slowly said, “Senior Devil Emperor, will you allow this junior to say something?”
