Chapter 992: Your Lives Already Belong to Me

Jiang Ding struck out with a sword.

This sword is named the Moonlight Flickering Illusion Realm Sword.

It is one of the supreme sword arts of the Moon Vein of the Sun and Moon Sword Pavilion, forced to be surrendered under the grand scheme, now belonging to Jiang Ding, to strike this sword that has been honed for a hundred years.

With this sword strike, this world seemed to become two independent worlds.

Before the Flame Flow Emperor's Son stood a Azure Sky Emperor's Son.

Before the Azure Sky Emperor's Son stood a Flame Flow Emperor's Son.

This is very normal.

However, these are two worlds, two Flame Flow Emperor's Sons, two Azure Sky Emperor's Sons; this is somewhat eerie.

The Azure Sky Emperor's Son and the Flame Flow Emperor's Son each have their opponents, holding heavy troops respectively, fighting fiercely; looking closely, their opponents, though using the same methods of the Demon Horn Emperor Clan, with hundred-zhang demon bodies and ten-zhang indestructible chaotic spaces, are exactly the same.

However, if one looks more closely, one will discover their opponents are somewhat hazy, their bodies composed of sword qi, their attacks also composed of sword qi, forcibly simulating equivalent effects through the Sword Dao.

This sword technique, the Moonlight Flickering Illusion Realm Sword, after the correction by the Immortal Gate and the eight great powers, according to their estimation, has a ninety percent chance of not triggering the Great Emperor's hidden moves on the two Emperor's Sons.

The Great Emperor expects his children to grow into pillars supporting the sky like Bai Yu, not into useless trash, so naturally he would not trigger the Great Emperor's methods just because of a same-realm opponent, even if it is somewhat strange.

In that case, it would be better to keep them at home all their lives, not letting them go out.

Emperor's Sons need to fight, need to be honed; as long as they do not die, the Great Emperor's methods will rarely be triggered.

The two Emperor's Sons fell into virtual opponents, fighting fiercely.

The surrounding Emperor's Sons, kings, and attendants watched with focused minds and held breath; no one discovered the anomaly.

"You two are very weak."

"... Weak, fellow Daoists..."

Jiang Ding sighed: "You must remember, your lives already belong to me, recorded on my ledger."

"In the future, when you truly see me, please commit suicide according to etiquette."

"Otherwise, you will be an Emperor's Son without integrity, and I will be angry."

He was not without regret.

If it were the Void Refinement stage now, why would such trouble be necessary?

He, alone with one sword and one warship, killed into this domain, cutting down all who disobeyed, cleansing the sins of the world, bringing glory to the Human Race, saving the ten thousand races from peril, jointly forming a new Demon Horn Jiao Jiao Mingyu order centered on the Human Race.

What Zou Zou Xiyuan was able to achieve back then, he can also achieve, and surpass.

"Decree!"

Jiang Ding took out a dull gray crystal sphere, precisely the Demon Horn Sky Transformation Sphere, and activated it.

The Demon Horn Sky Transformation Sphere radiated brilliant light, washing out a circle of transparent, hazy radiance, gradually disintegrating, forming billions of rays of light, finally

disappearing without a trace.

In the formless, some subtle changes occurred.

This change comes from luck, from the Dao of Heavenly Secrets, from the supreme masterpiece of the Dao of Heavenly Secrets in the Nine Spirit Domain; it will use the Emperor's Son's luck as a guide to further stimulate the premature birth of the Emperor's Son's crown.

Of course, it is only birth; whether the Emperor's Son's crown is complete, whether it is strong enough to promote the Emperor's Son to Great Emperor.

These matters do not concern Jiang Ding.

After everything was done, Jiang Ding's figure slowly vanished, just like an illusion.

No one knew where he went.

The two worlds struck out by the Moonlight Flickering Illusion Realm Sword gradually began to merge; the true body and the phantom of the Flame Flow Emperor's Son began to unite, the true body and the phantom of the Azure Sky Emperor's Son began to unite.

The two worlds turned into one again.

The Azure Sky Emperor's Son's sky-blue spear stabbed down like lightning, with the endless momentum of heaven and earth added to it; the ten-zhang indestructible chaotic space condensed into a single point, transforming into a star of incomparable brilliance, burning everything.

This spear, like cosmic light, pointed straight at the middle of the Flame Flow Emperor's Son's great halberd.

Boom!

The Flame Flow Emperor's Son's arms made a faint crack sound; he spat blood and retreated, the ten-zhang indestructible chaotic space shattered and healed, his face full of unwillingness.

"Haha!"

"Brother Flame Flow, I yield."

The Azure Sky Emperor's Son said politely, with unspeakable elegance and charm.

"Hmph!"

"I never thought you had already inherited the 'Ancient Azure Flame Emperor Scripture'; this is clearly something only a sacred site heir is qualified..."

The Flame Flow Emperor's Son snorted coldly.

In his heart, he already believed the matter that the Azure Sky Emperor's Son was the illegitimate son of the Ancient Azure Flame Emperor.

Otherwise, no matter how high his talent, it would be impossible to cultivate the supreme scripture that only heirs of the Azure Flame Sacred Site can cultivate; if not for this scripture, he would absolutely not have been defeated.

"This is the 'Azure Flame Scripture', not the 'Ancient Azure Flame Emperor Scripture'."

"Brother Flame Flow, you are mistaken."

The Azure Sky Emperor's Son said with a smile.

This was somewhat like trying to cover up by drawing attention, but it had to be so, because rules are rules after all.

In an instant, the gaze of everyone looking at him was different.

With the strong support of an Ancient Emperor, and his own strength equally not weak, there were few things in the world that could trouble him.

"This is the crown of my Flame Stone family..."

Pain like being bitten by thousands of snakes rose in the Flame Flow Emperor's Son's heart: "No, there is still a chance, there is still a thousand years; I do not believe the other Emperor's Sons in the Azure Flame Sacred Site..."

Boom!

Suddenly, a thunderclap rang through heaven and earth.

Infinite, boundless gold and purple light appeared between heaven and earth, forming the phenomenon of fire, rising toward the sky, spreading into the starry sky of the realm, emitting an aura of supreme nobility, supreme divinity, and supreme sanctity.

An inexplicable pressure rose into being.

Golden lotuses surged from the earth, immortal cranes wheeled in flight, a resplendent golden Tianhe poured down from the void, and visions of myriad races and living beings prostrating in worship appeared one after another—heralding some future scene.

In that instant, across the entire sea of stars—even beyond the Blazing Flame Holy Land—countless Kings, Imperial Sons, and Great Emperors were startled awake and turned their gazes here.

Cang Kong Imperial Son, Yan Liu Imperial Son, and the others were momentarily stunned.

"Imperial Son, the Imperial Son's Crown…"

"The Imperial Son's Crown has emerged!"

"It has emerged! Another Great Emperor is about to be born in this star domain…"

Countless people boiled with excitement, filled with longing.

Following the rise of a new Great Emperor was undoubtedly a venture that yielded ten thousandfold returns; countless clans and races had ascended to seats of power and nobility through such a process.

In years past, the Demon Rock Clan had been nothing more than a small clan within the realm, yet because it had grown alongside the Yan Stone Great Emperor, it had now become a renowned powerful clan across the realm, ranked ninth among the slave clans.

Likewise, within this lurked a terrifying crisis.

The powerful clans that had once stood before the Demon Rock Clan—where they had gone, what glorious histories they had possessed—no one remembered anymore.

It was not only the rise of slave clans; among the Horned Demon Imperial Clan as well, people were trembling with fear and anticipation. Many of its heaven-gifted prodigies, shackled by their birth, who had never been able to break through, now burned with fierce longing in their eyes.

When the Imperial Son's Crown appeared, a new noble house would emerge.

This was an ancient tradition of the Horned Demon Imperial Clan: in the passing of old for new, it was always the strongest, the finest bloodline, that became the aristocratic houses of the tribe.

"Brother Yan Liu."

Cang Kong Imperial Son came back to himself from his wild joy and asked in a low voice, "Are you willing to give up the Imperial Son's Crown? I swear by the heavens that I will treat your clan well. If in the future you can ascend to Great Emperor through your own strength, I will share the authority of Great Emperor with you—I will never break my word!"

In his view, the moment he defeated Yan Liu Imperial Son in a single strike, the Imperial Son's Crown had condensed into being.

This was the Mandate of Heaven!

This was the clan's fortune showing its favor!

"Cang Kong!"

Yan Liu Imperial Son's veins bulged on his forehead as he roared in fury, "This is the crown of my Yan Stone clan!"

"This is my crown!"

"No—this is the Imperial Clan's crown!"

"Brother Yan Liu,"

Cang Kong Imperial Son smiled: "The Yan Stone Great Emperor, that venerable elder, did not inherit the Imperial Son's Crown from your grandfather back in the day either—he too seized it from another."

"This is the Imperial Clan's tradition."

"The Imperial Clan is not like those cowardly slave clans—only the strongest Imperial Son of the Imperial Clan may obtain the crown."

Cang Kong Imperial Son seemed to know Yan Liu Imperial Son's answer; he said no more, turned, and left.

All the surrounding Kings—slave-clan Kings and Horned Demon Imperial

Clan Kings—watched this scene, a tremor stirring in their hearts, as if they already sensed the thick scent of blood soon to appear across the star domain.

Accompanied by countless deaths and countless challenges, the victorious Imperial Son would at last be crowned and become the Great Emperor of the future.

Four, complete
