Chapter 1865: Revenge of the Eight Monarchs
Revenge of the Eight Monarchs
Chengtian Domain.
"Your Majesty!"
"The injuries on your body haven't healed yet, why don't you rest a bit more?"
A young guard hurriedly ran into the great hall. Seeing the back of the figure in the Emperor's Robe standing silently in front of the dragon throne's steps at this moment, his heart jumped.
Because Ying Fu's severe injuries hadn't healed, he hadn't left his sleeping quarters for a long time. Just now, hearing that His Majesty had gone out alone and not knowing his whereabouts, he immediately mobilized all the guards in the palace to search. Only then did he find the missing His Majesty in the Chengtian Great Hall.
"Cough cough cough cough cough..."
A weak coughing sound came from in front of the steps.
The guard quickly stepped forward, wanting to drape the thick blanket prepared early on over Ying Fu's body, but the latter shook his head:
"But Your Majesty, your injuries still..."
"Over at the Red Dust Bastion, how is the situation?"
Seeing Ying Fu ask directly about the Red Dust Bastion, the guard hesitated for a moment, and still answered truthfully: "Chen Ling Advancing to Rank 9, tortured and killed the Calamity of Mockery and the Thought Calamity, and he has the Imperial Sword in hand, the several Dukes of the State also don't dare to act rashly... Now he has already taken control of the entire Red Dust Bastion."
Ying Fu nodded slightly, seemingly not surprised by this.
"Besides this..."
"Lord of the Aurora, Lord of Tianshu, Lord of Hidden Clouds, and Lord of Spirit Void have all awakened. They took action and solved the calamities attacking the major bastions, however..." The guard paused, and spoke cautiously, "They have also suppressed our core controllers in the major bastions, and renamed all the bastions to domains."
"Your Majesty..."
"We, are afraid we have lost control over those several bastions."
The guard's voice got softer and softer. Having stayed in the palace for so long, he naturally knew this His Majesty's character... In the past, if this kind of situation that got out of control happened, His Majesty would inevitably fly into a rage and deal with all the people who didn't handle things well in one breath. This time, the political power of several bastions being seized was undoubtedly a major event that hadn't happened in hundreds of years.
He was worried that Ying Fu would be so angry that it attacked his heart, or fly into a violent rage, and might even implicate himself...
But strangely, this time Ying Fu didn't seem to have this kind of emotion.
He just draped in that thin Emperor's Robe, standing solitarily on the black steps, like a silent sculpture.
"You can step down." He spoke calmly, "Withdraw all the nearby defenses... Don't leave anyone within ten kilometers of Us."
The guard was stunned.
He didn't understand what Ying Fu was thinking, but no matter what, Ying Fu wasn't in a violent rage, which already made his tense heart relax a bit. Naturally, he wouldn't ask any more questions. After responding, he hurriedly ran out of the hall.
In the empty and cold great hall behind him, that weak coughing sound gradually faded.
Just as the guard gave the order and took everyone nearby, whether guards or palace maids, away from the vicinity of the great hall, dazzling specks of light suddenly lit up from the distant sky.
"...What is that?" Another guard asked blankly.
"Looks like, stars?"
"Where would stars come from in broad daylight."
"Should be meteors, I feel like they are getting closer and closer to here."
"Wait... getting closer and closer to here??"
"Oh no, the speed of these stars is so fast!!!"
"..."
When everyone realized that the vast Meteor Shower was approaching here at an astonishing speed, it was already too late...
At this moment, whether it was them or the citizens living in the Chengtian Domain, they all witnessed with their own eyes streams of light that were fast to the extreme streaking across the sky, bringing a terrifying Aura that made people tremble with fear, crashing straight toward the Chengtian Imperial Palace!!
In their eyes, the rapidly approaching "meteors" had already grown as massive as blazing suns that were hard to look at directly.
Boom boom boom boom boom——!!!!!
Deafening explosion sounds rang out from the Imperial Palace!
Dazzling and blinding giant balls of light submerged the magnificent palace complex within them. Energy fluctuations even more terrifying than Rank 9 Dukes of the State swept across the entire Chengtian Domain, making everyone's hearts palpitate for an instant. The ordinary people closer to the Imperial Palace almost staggered and were overturned to the ground.
"That..."
"That is..."
On the four main avenues of Vermillion Bird, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise, those major officials and powerful ministers of the Chengtian Dynasty witnessed the Imperial Palace being submerged by giant balls of light that were dazzling to the extreme with their own eyes. For a time, their minds were intensely shaken!
In this world, there was actually someone who dared to attack the Chengtian Royal Palace???
Someone actually dared to attack His Majesty!!
At this moment, they all knew clearly in their hearts... Whether His Majesty was hurt by these attacks, whether the Imperial Palace was damaged or not, the loss of prestige this scene brought to the Chengtian Dynasty was absolutely disaster-level.
Those citizens who had lived generation after generation under the rule of the Chengtian Dynasty, they would realize that the supreme imperial power wasn't unshakable, and the one on the imperial throne wasn't unmatched in the world.
This kind of thought, although seemingly without much impact, had undoubtedly torn a crack in the majestic image the Chengtian Dynasty had accumulated over these hundreds of years.
Of course, they still didn't know the intelligence that several bastions had already been reclaimed by the various "Monarchs" at this time, otherwise they would realize that one "crack" was fundamentally nothing...
The current Chengtian Dynasty was already riddled with holes.
The aftermath of the explosion slowly dissipated.
The outlines of dilapidated palace ruins were gradually drawn out in the flying dust.
The God of Mathematics's "skipping stones" covered a large number of palaces in one breath. The Imperial Palace that was originally sacred and magnificent in the eyes of the citizens, at this moment, more than half of it had already turned into fragmented residue... And in the center of these ruins, only one great hall was completely unscathed in the dust.
"Cough cough cough cough cough..."
The imperial prestige gradually dissipated, and patches of scarlet fresh blood spilled onto the steps.
Ying Fu weakly wiped away the fresh blood at the corners of his mouth with his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly looking at a certain spot in the void... Hundreds of kilometers away, a figure draped in a monk's robe was currently standing at the peak of Mt. Lingxu, looking at him coldly.
He didn't conceal his powerful Aura at all, nor did he conceal that mysterious to the extreme Spirit Void power. He, who had always been forbearing and cowardly in the past, actually exuded an overbearing temperament at this moment.
He just wanted to let Ying Fu know that this was revenge from him, the Lord of Spirit Void, and also revenge from all the Eight Monarchs.
Tap——tap——tap...
At the same time,
A burst of footsteps rang out from outside the doors of the great hall.
Ying Fu didn't look at the Lord of Spirit Void anymore, nor did he turn his head. He just stood quietly on the steps of the imperial throne like this, his figure seemingly merging with the shadows of the great hall.
He didn't need to turn his head, didn't need to look... Relying solely on that resonance from the Emperor's Fate, he could know who had come.
Patches of scarlet gradually spread within the great hall.
A figure in a Theatrical Robe holding an Imperial Sword and wearing an Imperial Seal on his waist walked over step by step from the glow of the sunset dusk.
