Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

The world was still waiting for the stance of King Yama’s Palace, completely unaware that the three Great Shadow Marshals had already infiltrated the Heavenly Sword Dynasty, launching a surprise attack on Su Han.

However, the commotion from this battle was too great to be concealed, and soon the news spread rapidly across the Central Plains as if sprouting wings.

"Unprecedented major news, the three Great Shadow Marshals of King Yama’s Palace have been tragically killed, the King of Equality has fallen, and King Chu Jiang has been seriously injured!"

As soon as the news broke, it swept across the region, leaving millions of beings shocked, dumbfounded, and in awe.

King Yama’s Palace is the foremost dark force in the Central Plains, with numerous strongholds spread across various Daozhous, feared by countless people.

A hundred years ago, the battle with the Nangong Imperial Clan further cemented King Yama’s Palace’s ferocious reputation, causing many to turn pale at the mention of its name and dare not provoke it.

However, this time, not only did King Yama’s Palace lose face, but it also suffered heavy losses: three of its ten Great Shadow Marshals were killed, the King of Equality among the Ten Great Yama Kings fell, and King Chu Jiang lost an arm in grave injuries—truly an unprecedented blow.

"That’s impossible! The three Great Shadow Marshals are all Great Saint Level powerhouses, the King of Equality is a quasi-emperor, and King Chu Jiang is at the Great Emperor Realm. Who could have the ability to accomplish such an earthshattering feat?"

"The Flying Immortal Great Emperor took action, reportedly crushing the King of Equality with a palm and severing one of King Chu Jiang’s arms with a sword. His strength is immeasurable, and it’s unknown if Qing Guangwang, ranked first among the Ten Great Yama Kings, can suppress him!"

"All this over the Nineteenth Prince, leading to a battle of emperors, is simply unbelievable. By the way, what about the Nineteenth Prince? Is he dead or alive?"

"The Nineteenth Prince is still alive, not dead, or even seriously injured. He was well protected by the Sword Saint of Heart and others, and the Mysterious Great Sword Saint intervened to save him, so he wasn’t hurt at all."

Various rumors circulated, some fabricated in private, but some were highly credible. For a time, the various Daozhous of the Central Plains were all discussing the matter.

Due to the constraints of the Great Emperor Covenant, emperor-level battles had not erupted for a long time. Although this time the Flying Immortal Great Emperor and King Chu Jiang exchanged only one blow, it was enough to be the subject of prolonged discussion.

All this began with Su Han, and thus the discussion about Su Han became increasingly intense.

After this battle, the name of the Nineteenth Prince truly shook the Central Plains, and no one dared to underestimate this prince any longer. Major forces immediately issued orders not to provoke him lightly.

"This Nineteenth Prince can be described as ’vengeful.’ A single ambush led to so many subsequent battles, with even two Great Emperors fighting for him, and a quasi-emperor falling because of it."

"Indeed, while this Nineteenth Prince’s innate talent is astounding, his temper is indeed volatile. If we encounter him in the future, we must keep our distance, as he is not one to be trifled with!"

"Who would dare provoke him now? Just avoiding his notice would feel like a blessing. With the Flying Immortal Great Emperor as his backing, who dares move against him? Even King Yama’s Palace suffered greatly; other Immortal Forces would be even more reluctant to take action against him."

Su Han became famous from this battle. Although his involvement in the subsequent battles was minimal and his strength was low, he was a pivotal figure, the core of it all.

And the deterrent effect that Su Han sought was achieved. After this battle, everyone knew of his vengeful nature, and those who originally had ulterior motives were thoroughly intimidated and dared not harbor any thoughts against Su Han.

Particularly, the White Phoenix Saint of the Dugu Imperial Clan broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing the news, grateful that he hadn’t rashly joined the fray; otherwise, his name would undoubtedly have been on the death list.

"Do you think King Yama’s Palace, having suffered such a great loss, will launch a full-scale war? Remember, King Yama’s Palace still has nine Yama Kings, seven Great Shadow Marshals, seventy-one Directors, and countless strongmen. If they truly seek revenge, the Heavenly Sword Dynasty might not be able to withstand it."

"Yes, the Flying Immortal Great Emperor is indeed strong, but he is only one man. King Yama’s Palace has more than one Great Emperor Realm powerhouse, and although his ’One Sword Ascends to Immortality’ is formidable, it is difficult to contend with two or even more Great Emperors."

"The century-old events with the Nangong Imperial Clan are still fresh in our memory. If King Yama’s Palace is determined to seek revenge, the consequences could be terrifying."

The might of the Flying Immortal Great Emperor is awe-inspiring, and the deterrent effect of the Nineteenth Prince’s actions is significant, but King Yama’s Palace is not one to be trifled with. It is the premier dark force, with the word ’dark’ representing the use of all means.

Back then, the Nangong Imperial Clan was also one of the Immortal Forces in the Central Plains, renowned and with many strongmen. Yet, King Yama’s Palace retaliated fiercely, outnumbering them, leaving the Nangong Imperial Clan with corpses strewn across the field and rivers of blood, even dismembering the then Great Emperor Realm Nangong patriarch, who died a tragic death.

If not for the later intervention of other Immortal Forces, the Nangong Imperial Clan might have been exterminated. Even so, it was splintered and almost vanished from history.

Had it not been for the rise of a promising talent within the Nangong Imperial Clan, who broke through to the Great Emperor Realm and stabilized the clan, the Nangong Imperial Clan by now might no longer exist.

Yet even so, the new Nangong Great Emperor dared not travel outside, fearing interception and slaughter by King Yama’s Palace. Even the people of the Nangong Imperial Clan had to retreat into their shell, not daring to show themselves. An Immortal Force almost being wiped out like this is a terrifying thing.

The bloody lesson of the Nangong Imperial Clan was a sobering one, cementing the fearsome reputation of King Yama’s Palace.

This time, the three Great Shadow Marshals were killed, the King of Equality fell, and King Chu Jiang was seriously injured; this is indeed a major event. Given King Yama’s Palace’s nature, it’s truly possible they might retaliate. When that time comes, whether the Heavenly Sword Dynasty can withstand it is an unknown!

"If King Yama’s Palace seeks revenge, it certainly wouldn’t mobilize just a few; even Great Emperor Realm powerhouses traveling will wield awe-inspiring power. Let us watch and wait!"

Both King Yama’s Palace and the Heavenly Sword Dynasty are top Immortal Forces. If there is war, it will surely be earthshattering, impacting the entire Central Plains. It will not be a sudden attack like this one, so countless eyes are simultaneously watching King Yama’s Palace and the Heavenly Sword Dynasty. If the great war begins, everyone will sense it immediately.

However, this time, King Yama’s Palace did not remain silent; it soon made a public statement, expressing its stance, a stance that shocked everyone.

"Let it end here!"

King Yama’s Palace’s statement comprised only four words, but the meaning behind them was enough to astonish the entire Central Plains.

King Yama’s Palace actually chose to abandon its revenge, no longer pursuing the grievances of the three Great Shadow Marshals’ deaths, the fall of the King of Equality, and King Chu Jiang’s injuries. This left countless people stunned and extremely astonished.

For a time, countless people speculated on the reasons King Yama’s Palace chose to forgo vengeance, but no matter how they guessed, they could not discern the true reason, and King Yama’s Palace remained silent, leaving the world in conjecture.

In response to King Yama’s Palace’s statement, the Heavenly Sword Dynasty tacitly agreed; the great war did not break out, and it ended here.

Both sides laid down their arms, and everything returned to calm, but everyone knows that the enmity between the two Immortal Forces will not end so easily!
