Chapter 154: Chapter 154 King of the Earth_1
"The Immortal Phoenix! That woman actually possesses the bloodline of the Immortal Phoenix!"
"Heavens! How can Dawu contain such a powerhouse, even the noble existence of the Immortal Phoenix, comparable to the Divine Dragon of the Dragon Clan, is subservient to its master. What kind of charm does he possess to make such a powerhouse so loyal?"
"Enraging the Immortal Phoenix assures the certain death of this palace's Officer Guo, a Crown Prince from the same realm!"
...
The people witnessing Zhu Fengfeng unleashing the power of the Immortal Phoenix were more astounded than seeing her burst into Divine Cultivation.
In the demon clan, the Immortal Phoenix is the noblest among nobles, possessing unparalleled strength, and the inherent supreme authority of the emperor.
"That woman possesses the bloodline of the Immortal Phoenix!"
The Emperor of Dachang is also stuck in astonishment.
"Having the Immortal Phoenix pledge loyalty, leading an army, as well as multi-manufacturing the Divine Elixer and pulling out the Lingyuan Rice, this kind of national divine artifact, how many more secrets does he have? What kind of existence is this Dawu!"
At this moment, Sikong Tu sitting next to Chu Yuan, found this man unfathomable now more than ever, always unsure of his true capabilities, and started imagining possibilities fervently.
Once the power of the Immortal Phoenix is activated, Zhu Fengfeng, though she and this Officer Guo are both at the first level of divine cultivation, her fighting strength is incomparable, inch by inch melting her opponent's Mana, and the ocean of flames pressing on.
"Stop, stop quickly, I surrender!"
Officer Guo's scalp was numb, regretting deeply in his heart. Why did he attack Zhu Fengfeng? This is not something he should have provoked in the first place.
"Daring to threaten the emperor with just your East Palace offering, people who don't know any better might think you are the suspended air monarch. You're just seeking death. Today, I, Zhu Fengfeng will make you understand, threatening the emperor is a capital offense, punishable by death!"
Zhu Fengfeng is burning with a terrifying flame, but her voice becomes even colder. Under Chu Yuan's influence, she is becoming more domineering.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Even though Officer Guo tried his utmost to resist with his Mana, when the Immortal Phoenix brings her strength and envelops him, it manifests as a force of destruction.
This flame is no ordinary flame, but the Immortal Flame, which transcends too much of the regular Mana concentration. Not to mention him, even if it were to face second and third level divine cultivation specialists, they would not be a match for Zhu Fengfeng.
The fire blazes, time seems to stand still, as if in an instant, Officer Guo is completely covered by the intense fire.
Ah! Everyone heard a miserable scream!
Officer Guo's body turned pitch black, he seemed to be scorched all over. With just an instant's worth of effort, he was seriously injured, and even his protective relic couldn't withstand the Immortal Flame.
"Spare me! Spare my life!" Officer Guo begged for mercy.
"A despicable bully!"
Zhu Fengfeng's expression was cold.
Her Immortal Flame transformed into a giant claw of the Immortal Phoenix and fiercely gripped Officer Guo's head. In full view of the public, he was melted right then and there, thoroughly reduced to a human-shaped charred trace on the ground.
This bit of residue was intentionally left behind by Zhu Fengfeng to deter the others.
How horrifying! It's inhumane!
A first-level divine cultivation powerhouse was burnt to ashes just like that. It was heart-wrenching and beyond imagination!
"You dared to kill Officer Guo. The Crown Prince will be furious when he finds out. He won't let you die peacefully!"
Seeing Officer Guo's death, the group of people who had followed him started panicking and screaming out in horror, losing their backbone.
"Not dying peacefully? Making the emperor not die peacefully? Let me make you all die first!"
Zhu Fengfeng, who had been head of the Imperial Guards for many years, was cold-blooded and ruthless. Immediately, her Immortal Flame spread out again, swiftly burning all the powerhouses who had followed and cooperated with the enemy into human-shaped marks on the ground.
The human-shaped marks on the ground were the last traces they left in this world.
"Great news, this is great news. The Crown Prince, in order to inherit the position of the Prince Regent, gathered a large number of experts from outside. This Officer Guo was one of them. With his death, Prince Gong will have the opportunity to rise up. As long as one day he doesn't ascend the throne, Prince Gong still has a chance!"
"I really hope the Crown Prince gets angry and can fight with the lord of Dawu. In that case, there will be fewer competitors within the Forbidden Territory."
"However, the Crown Prince probably isn't that foolish. If he dares to make a move on the lord of Dawu, with the lord's nature, he'd definitely cause heavy losses."
"Hehe, although he is the Crown Prince, his brothers never intend to let him off. Regardless of whether he wants to swallow this loss or not, he'll have to do it."
"The royal succession of the Exalted Dynasty has always been like raising venomous insects. Even if you're the Crown Prince, if your abilities are not up to par, you'll be brought down."
"The Crown Prince is domineering and arrogant and has met an even more domineering lord of Dawu. Haha, this lord of Dawu has the Immortal Phoenix pledging its loyalty, making him even more mysterious and another important client of the Qiankun Firm. Taking action against him might not be a good idea."
"I fear there will be unrest within the Forbidden Territory this time."
With Officer Guo being killed, the people of Imperial City had complicated thoughts.
Every time a royal succession occurs, the Exalted Dynasty will be engulfed in a bloodbath. All the princes will gather experts to form their own private armies. The weakening of the Crown Prince's strength would create an opportunity for the other princes.
"Commander Feng, you did very well." Chu Yuan's voice came out, ignoring the shock within the Exalted Dynasty entirely.
"Ding! The host selects Option Two, gains three hundred Destiny Points and randomly receives three thousand Divine Abilities, Big Earth Technique x1."
Big Earth Technique: One of the three thousand Divine Abilities, one of the Five Elements Divine Abilities. Learning the Big Earth Technique, you can comprehend the Big Five Elements Technique.
"Ding! The host comprehends the Big Earth Technique and gains the title King of the Earth!"
[King of the Earth: has an affinity with the energy of the earth, comprehends the power of the earth, draws energy from the earth, strengthening defenses.]
"This is the power of the earth."
Chu Yuan felt the power of the Big Earth Technique.
"The Qiankun Firm is closed for the day. Those who wish to purchase items are welcome back tomorrow!"
In light of such a significant incident, Sikong Tu immediately took control of the situation, shut down the Qiankun Firm, and drove away the onlookers, not allowing anyone to come in.
"Great Master, it seems I have brought trouble for Qiankun Firm this time," Chu Yuan blandly said.
"No trouble, hmph! The Crown Prince's men are extremely arrogant. Many want to see the Crown Prince suffer. Were I in your position, I wouldn't tolerate it either, and besides, an honorable being like the Immortal Phoenix pledge loyalty to you. The Crown Prince has to think twice before he seeks revenge!"
Sikong Tu shook his head, a don't-care attitude etched on his face.
"The Dachang Dynasty will stand together with Dawu."
The Emperor of Dachang immediately announced his stance and said: "Although this Emperor will not go to the Forbidden Territory this time, there will be powerhouses from my dynasty who will. I hope the Martial Emperor can extend a hand when you see someone from Dachang Dynasty in peril."
"That's natural; it's a win-win cooperation." Chu Yuan did not refuse.
"With only a few days left to the opening of the Forbidden Territory, you should stay here, regain strength and focus. I will not let anyone disturb Your Majesty."
Sikong Tu said: "As for the details about the Forbidden Territory, I will have Chai Ning organize and send it to Your Majesty."
"I look forward to the opening of the Forbidden Territory."
