Chapter 957: Compensation Plan! The Zi Yun Divine Lord

"How could this happen..."

In the Zi Yun Empire, the Crown Prince muttered.

He had never imagined the situation would develop this way!

"Your Highness, kneel immediately!"

The Crown Prince's guards hurriedly reminded him.

In his moment of emotional turmoil, the Crown Prince had forgotten to kneel!

Only then did the Crown Prince realize his mistake and quickly knelt down.

After kneeling, the Crown Prince broke out in a cold sweat, for just now he had sensed a spiritual pressure locking onto him—if he had hesitated even a second longer, he would have been torn to shreds!

The deity had spoken: those who disobey defy the divine majesty!

And any ordinary mortal who dares defy the divine majesty has only one fate: death!

On the other side, the Zi Yun Sacred Disciple was also forced to kneel, his heart in turmoil!

The Zi Yun Sacred Disciple never imagined the other nation's deity could be so powerful!

So powerful that the other's deity had not even appeared in person—merely hearing the name of their opponent had terrified their own deity into immediate surrender, compelling every deity in their divine system and every person in the Zi Yun Empire to kneel before the stranger to appease his wrath!

"A Fourth-Rank Deity!"

At that moment, the Zi Yun Sacred Disciple felt profound fear.

As a Legendary, he was confident he could reach the Sacred Domain within decades, but to become a deity, he must first reach the peak of First-Rank Sacred Domain.

That would take an unknown amount of time.

Moreover, a deity formed at the peak of First-Rank Sacred Domain would be far too weak.

Even a deity formed at Second-Rank, Third-Rank, or even Fourth-Rank Sacred Domain could not be compared to a Fourth-Rank Deity.

The gap was not merely heaven and earth—it was a hundred million times the difference between heaven and earth!

Within moments, not a single person from the Zi Yun Empire remained standing on the battlefield.

Even the Sea Elder Lady, who had never lifted a finger, knelt down.

A Fourth-Rank Deity—even for a Sacred Domain cultivator like the Sea Elder Lady—demanded profound reverence!

Besides, the Sea Elder Lady would never oppose the Zi Yun Divine Lord in such a setting.

On this battlefield, still home to millions, not a single voice was heard; no one dared make a sound.

Every Flame Empire warrior who witnessed this scene felt overwhelming pride!

Pride for their deity!

Pride for being subjects of the Flame Empire!

Tell me, besides the Flame Empire, which other empire could force a great empire to kneel like this on the battlefield?

High above, silence reigned equally.

Including Lord Yuer, all nine deities knelt upon the ground, yet the Flame Lord showed no reaction whatsoever, as if he had no intention of descending at all.

Lord Yuer had now fully awakened from his frenzy of outrage.

Now, he too was filled with terror!

And now, he finally understood that Meng Ying's words had not been meant to humiliate him—they were stating a simple truth.

To meet a Fourth-Rank Deity, a deity with only an 11th-Rank Divine Core and Divine Body, he was truly unworthy!

The other had not even deigned to unleash a fraction of their power—merely at the final moment, they bestowed a single sword, and it shattered every one of Lord Yuer's attacks!

Even their own deities refused to descend!

"Bad luck!"

Even as fear gripped him, Lord Yuer deeply felt how terribly unlucky he was!

Who could have known why an army of a Fourth-Rank Deity would appear in the east of the Eternal Night Empire?
