Chapter 82: All Great Emperors Kneel and Beg for Mercy, the Strange Woman in the Chaos Turbulence!
"Brother Limao, what should we do now? Lin Potian has already issued an Imperial Decree, ordering us to return to the Emperor Alliance within one stick of incense!"
Excluding the three Great Emperors of Primordial Beginning, the remaining forty-five Great Emperors of the Emperor Alliance who participated in the siege of the Lin Family that day were all gathered together, each of them looking extremely grim.
They looked one after another toward the pockmarked man sitting in the seat of honor, asking for his opinion.
The pockmarked man was named Mei Limao, the fourth-in-command of the Emperor Alliance besides the three Great Emperors of Primordial Beginning, with a cultivation of Great Emperor Ninth Heaven.
Mei Limao's gaze flickered, his fingertips tapping the armrest rhythmically, his expression ugly as he whispered:
"You shouldn't have come to find me; you've delayed my time to escape! I can only tell you this: whoever goes is a fool. Most of us didn't even cross paths with Lin Potian that day, and I don't believe he could remember what we look like! Besides, I have already relocated my entire Mei Family; I have no worries left behind, and I don't believe he can find me!"
Having said this, Mei Limao stood up straight and cupped his hands: "Decide for yourselves. I, for one, am not going. If I go, I die; if I don't, there is still a chance of survival. The road is wide, let's go our separate ways from here on out. I'm leaving first!"
Immediately, he took a step out, not wasting a single word of nonsense, and left directly!
"This...!"
Seeing this, the crowd was stunned. They had come to discuss a strategy, but after only two sentences, Mei Limao, who was treated as their backbone, had run off first...
A High-level Great Emperor named Chun Luren was reminded by this; his eyes lit up, and he slapped his head:
"That's right, Brother Limao is absolutely right! I don't believe Lin Potian can remember all of us. How could he have the leisure to remember small fries like us? I might as well run away too!"
Saying he would leave, he left; this man also fled very decisively, his figure turning into a streak of light, heading off to who knows where.
Following closely, another person, after careful consideration, chose not to go.
The remaining people looked at each other, unable to make up their minds for a moment.
"Forget it, I'll go."
Looking at the void, where the incense had already burned down to half a stick, someone finally chose to head toward Central Heaven.
Once one person stepped forward, others followed one after another, heading toward Central Heaven with heavy hearts.
They held onto a glimmer of hope, refusing to believe that Lin Potian would kill them all today.
As for resisting?
They didn't even dare to think about it!
Before long, these Great Emperors arrived.
Thud!
They slid to their knees directly in front of Lin Potian, each of them weeping: "Fellow Daoist Potian, it was those three from Primordial Beginning who forced us! Otherwise, how could we have besieged your Lin Family? Even if we were lent a hundred guts, we wouldn't dare!"
"Oh, is that so?"
Lin Potian replied indifferently.
Central Heaven was already buzzing with noise. Looking out, there were countless cultivators, and streaks of light were constantly flashing across the horizon, rushing toward this place.
Cultivators who saw this scene could not help but tremble in their hearts!
What were they seeing?
The high and mighty Great Emperors were actually admitting their mistakes, and they were kneeling to do so!
"Who exactly is that powerhouse? He has such prestige that he forces Great Emperors to kneel and admit their faults!"
Some young cultivators were terrified, looking at that thin figure standing with his hands behind his back, their eyes filled with extreme fear!
"This old man recognizes this powerhouse. He is exactly the same as the one recorded in the ancient portraits of our clan. He is... the Strongest Great Emperor—Potian Great Emperor!"
A highly respected Sect Ancestor stood out, looking at Lin Potian's back as if gazing up at a high mountain.
Hearing him say this, those who originally did not know Lin Potian's identity recalled the legends of their respective families. Some even had rapid breathing and flushed faces, trembling with excitement, and knelt directly toward Lin Potian's back, shouting:
"I, Zhang Xiao, pay my respects to Potian Great Emperor!"
Lin Potian turned his head to look, smiling gently: "Rise."
"Oh my, I've made it. I actually got to see the Strongest Great Emperor who only lived in legends, and Potian Great Emperor even responded to me! This trip was absolutely worth it!"
Zhang Xiao was so excited he almost fainted!
For a time, a wave of kowtowing resounded through heaven and earth. People kept kowtowing toward Lin Potian, their eyes filled with nothing but awe for the strong!
Looking back at the dozens of Great Emperors of the Emperor Alliance, there was only whispering and mockery. Their faces could not help but turn extremely ugly, and they felt stifled in their hearts. They... were also Great Emperors!
Yet they had no such glory; on the contrary, they were now kneeling in front of Lin Potian. Comparing the two, they felt worse than if they had eaten excrement!
But there was really no other way; they had to come.
The reason was simple: that day, the Great Emperors who participated in the siege of the Lin Family had seen with their own eyes Lin Potian shatter the Imperial Warship with a single punch, suppress Primordial Beginning with one hand, and beat Mang Cang and Tian Ni more easily than beating children. They were almost scared to the point of having their Dao Hearts shattered on the spot!
"There is still more than half a stick of incense left, let's wait a bit longer."
"Primordial Beginning, Mang Cang, Tian Ni, if you still don't come, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Lin Potian glanced at the incense that had not yet finished burning on the Imperial Decree and muttered.
As for those who didn't come after the incense burned out, he had already said it: they would bear the consequences themselves!
At the same time, at the very edge of the Heavens, the Chaos Turbulence surged wantonly like a violent beast, with three figures hiding within it.
All three had terrifying Imperial Light circulating around them. As Peak Great Emperors, they should have looked down upon the world, but at this moment, they were like rats scurrying across the street, their eyes filled with terror!
And these were none other than the three Great Emperors: Primordial Beginning, Mang Cang, and Tian Ni!
Primordial Beginning stared fixedly at the Imperial Decree in the void, venting his impotent rage by shattering all the surrounding turbulence before finally calming down, growling word by word:
"Mang Cang, Tian Ni, let's just gather our old subordinates and kill our way back. Lin Potian is truly going too far!"
Hearing this, Mang Cang was extremely bitter: "After the Emperor Alliance's warship was casually blown up by Lin Potian that day, the morale of the people was shattered. What do we have to gather old subordinates with? Now even the Immortals of the Ji Family have been defeated, and the Immortals who descended from the Immortal Domain were all ruthlessly suppressed and killed by Lin Potian. The Ji Family has even been wiped out! What do we have to kill our way back with?"
"We can no longer keep up with Lin Potian at all. I... want to go to Central Heaven. As for whether Lin Potian wants to kill me or skin me, it's up to him. I still have clansmen, and I don't want to implicate them."
As he finished speaking, Primordial Beginning and Tian Ni looked at Mang Cang as if they had seen a ghost, their faces full of disbelief!
Tian Ni even grabbed his robe and roared:
"Mang Cang, have you lost your mind? Do you think you can survive if you go back? Clansmen? What are clansmen worth? Surviving is more important than anything else!"
Mang Cang shook his head, speaking to himself: "No, I was originally a Great Emperor, yet I've been hiding and skulking. I'm tired. If he wants to kill me, let him kill me. I deserve this."
Tian Ni was stunned, his hand involuntarily loosening.
Just at this moment, a black mist appeared behind Great Emperor Taichu amidst the turbulence and drilled straight into his heart!
Great Emperor Taichu immediately trembled slightly, visible to the naked eye!
His gaze turned icy cold instantly, as if he had become another person, and he looked toward Mang Cang, "Have you really thought it through?"
"Thought it through, farewell! From now on, mountains and birds shall not meet, and I hope you all can escape."
Mang Cang's expression was dim; he cupped his hands and turned away.
He truly did not want to flee anymore, and he was even more afraid that Lin Potian would vent his anger on his family.
Just then, a point of cold light reflected on Great Emperor Taichu's icy face, and the Imperial Sword in his hand viciously launched a sneak attack from behind, piercing through Mang Cang's heart!
"Taichu, you, what are you doing!"
Mang Cang turned his head back, his expression horrified, wanting to pull the sword out of his body.
"Nothing much, just putting waste to use."
Great Emperor Taichu stirred the Imperial Sword violently; Great Emperor Mang Cang's eyes dimmed instantly, his life force rapidly extinguishing!
His Imperial Soul flew out, and without the slightest hesitation, he fled!
But it was grabbed by Great Emperor Taichu in one grasp, directly crushed, and eaten!
Only a sliver of the purest divine soul went unnoticed and secretly escaped.
"Gulp..."
Great Emperor Tianni swallowed with difficulty; he truly had not expected such a turn of events, his pupils contracted violently, and he could not help but retreat a few steps.
The person before his eyes was definitely not Great Emperor Taichu, or rather, there was certainly someone else inside his body!
Great Emperor Taichu could not be this strong!
The next second, the scene before his eyes made Tianni almost lose his wits!
He saw Great Emperor Taichu open his mouth to an extremely bizarre degree and eat Mang Cang's entire Imperial body, his teeth covered in flesh and blood!
Tianni felt his worldview collapse, his Path Heart became unstable, and he couldn't help but let out an "Ah!"
"Oh, you saw it, didn't you."
"Then... let me eat you too."
Hearing the sound, Great Emperor Taichu stiffly turned his head and tilted it to look at Tianni.
"You are not Taichu, who exactly are you!"
Tianni shouted sternly, suppressing the fear in his heart, Path Law attached to his fist, and he smashed a punch toward the face of the "Taichu" Great Emperor!
Bang!
A direct hit; the latter did not dodge at all!
The head of the "Taichu" Great Emperor was instantly blasted to pieces, Imperial blood flying everywhere, but soon... it actually grew a new head again!
But this face was a woman's face; its eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth were even grown on the forehead, the features spliced together at will—it was simply hideous and terrifying!
The entire body also rapidly withered away!
"Hiss...! What kind of monster are you?"
Tianni felt a chill rush from the soles of his feet straight to his crown, his body trembling uncontrollably!
He had never seen such a terrifying and absurd sight, feeling that everything he had previously known was overturned at this moment.
"Monster? Hehe, a mere ant, yet you dare to look directly at a god?"
That woman's face made a strange sound, just like someone learning to speak for the first time.
"God your mother, I'll smash you to pieces!"
Tianni's scalp went numb, he cursed out loud, Imperial Light surged around his body, and he struck first; a divine light containing terrifying power, enough to pierce through countless great worlds, shot straight at the woman's face!
The divine light tore through the void turbulence like a meteor, carrying destructive power as it struck, yet the moment it made contact, it was like a clay ox entering the sea, disappearing without a trace!
"What? Taking a divine ability with the face and remaining unscathed, are you kidding me!"
Tianni was dumbfounded, his whole person frozen in place; the Imperial Light surrounding his body trembled due to this sudden turn of events, its radiance dimming a few shades, and his face was filled with disbelief and terror.
Swish—!
The figure of the "Taichu" Great Emperor was like a ghost; in a single step, he reached before Tianni, his withered fingers tightly gripping Tianni's throat!
The twisted woman's face leaned in close to him, the corners of her mouth curling into a greedy arc, "Being able to serve as my sacrifice can be considered your honor."
