Chapter 916: Emperor Wu VS Lord of Hanging Jade

Emperor Wu VS Lord of Hanging Jade

The Lord of Hanging Jade's eyes narrowed slightly.

The hurricane, filled with imperial might, blew his white lab coat wildly, yet he hovered in the air unmoving, like an unshakable mountain of science.

"What a sickening trick... My opinion of you was indeed completely correct." The Lord of Hanging Jade sneered,

"Do you think that by forcefully pushing a child to become emperor, you can defeat me?"

The peaks of the over four hundred Achievement Monuments were empty.

Under the chaotic sky, only Wu Qiong—with her long hair fluttering and her Imperial Robe covering the sky—looked down at him indifferently with numb, lifeless eyes...

With the stacking of over four hundred Imperial Remnants, Wu Qiong's rank was now at the peak of the eighth rank. Moreover, this was the home ground of the Ancient Vault of the Imperial Path, with endless, mighty imperial aura. Even facing the Nine Sovereign Tier Lord of Hanging Jade, her aura was not at a disadvantage.

Now, she was the true "Emperor Wu" within this Ancient Vault of the Imperial Path!

Boom—!!!

A white shadow was forcefully smashed into the nearest Achievement Monument. Dense cracks instantly covered the mountain peak, and then it completely exploded with a loud bang!

Billowing smoke and dust flew up.

At the same time, a broken bowl shattered on the ground.

Zhu Chongba had already entered Wu Qiong's body, and the spirituality of this Dao Foundation artifact, the broken bowl, had also been sucked away. Sun Bumian and Bai Ye landed steadily on one of the mountain peaks, gazing at the distant battlefield.

"Didn't you say the 'Emperor's' rank fluctuates? Right now, she shouldn't have any subjects, so how can she be so strong single-handedly?" Sun Bumian was somewhat puzzled.

"She indeed has no subjects, but right now, she is inside the Ancient Vault of the Imperial Path."

Bai Ye stomped on the ground beneath his feet. "That isn't her power, but the power she mobilized from the Ancient Vault... With the enhancement of those Imperial Remnants driving her Imperial Fate, the entire Ancient Vault of the Imperial Path is now her weapon."

"Oh."

"Not only that, didn't you notice? Ever since she became emperor, our Divine Paths have been suppressed."

Sun Bumian looked down at his hands and found that his Path of the Actor seemed to have been shackled by something. The power he could exert was only half of what it normally was...

"In the Ancient Vault of the Imperial Path, the 'Emperor' has absolute suppression over all the other Fourteen Divine Paths. It's not just you, I am the same. Even if a Rank 9 demigod of another Divine Path came here, it would be the same," Bai Ye spoke unhurriedly.

"No one can defeat the 'Emperor' inside the Ancient Vault of the Imperial Path... unless his power transcends the Fourteen Divine Paths."

A black sword gleam shot into the clouds from the ruins, seemingly cleaving the sky in two.

Beneath the grand pillar of imperial might, the Lord of Hanging Jade's figure rose bit by bit, sharpness and anger flickering in his eyes. The next moment, the particles around his entire body violently surged!

"A bunch of feudal remnants, do you think you can suppress me???"

Thud—!!

As the mass of the surrounding particles continuously skyrocketed, an immense amount of energy began to expand with the Lord of Hanging Jade as the center. With a booming roar, blinding light spread like a sun exploding, forcefully clashing with that towering imperial might!

The shockwaves undulated like endless waves, filling every corner of the Ancient Vault of the Imperial Path. Even Emperor Wu in the air swayed slightly under this aftermath.

Emperor Wu remained expressionless. She raised her hands as if grabbing something in the void, and then yanked hard!

The next moment, Sun Bumian felt his Path of the Actor surge into the sky, as if it had lost control!

Also surging into the sky was the Path of the Thief beside him, the Path of the Soldier not far away, and the Path of the Witch God buried in the soil below.

"What's going on??" Jian Changsheng looked up at his Path of the Soldier, his eyes full of astonishment.

There was no one beside him to answer, but in the distance, Sun Bumian sighed helplessly,

"In the Ancient Vault of the Imperial Path, the 'Emperor' has the right to commandeer the power of all Divine Paths within the vault's territory... This is too perverted."

"Any demigod guarding their corresponding Divine Dao Ancient Repository can exert several times their normal strength. This is no joke, otherwise, the Silver King wouldn't have hidden in the Thief Path Ancient Vault for so long." Bai Ye was quite calm about this.

"Although this puppet hasn't become a demigod yet, with the enhancement of those Imperial Remnants, she's practically there..."

Four magnificent Divine Paths shot straight into the clouds, but three of them didn't have many usable skills. After a moment of hesitation, Emperor Wu still grasped the air toward the rapidly approaching Lord of Hanging Jade.

Thunder-Throttling Finger!!

Five claps of thunder resounded across the sky simultaneously. The space around the Lord of Hanging Jade seemed to distort. But the Lord of Hanging Jade wasn't a pushover either. With the rapid alteration of his own mass, his speed instantly approached the speed of light, directly breaking free from the effective range of the Thunder-Throttling Finger. The Black Cross Sword in his hand swept out abruptly!

Terrifying energy gathered into a single line, directly cutting six Achievement Monuments in front of him in half. That pitch-blackness symbolizing ultimate destruction crossed space, instantly slashing toward Emperor Wu's neck!

Emperor Wu also didn't expect the Lord of Hanging Jade to be so fierce. Her numb pupils finally contracted slightly. A white light flashed in front of her, stealing a corner of the threads in front of her neck...

Continuous booming sounds came from behind her. Even though Emperor Wu herself wasn't injured, a corner of her Imperial Robe had been slashed open, and several Achievement Monuments behind her collapsed loudly under this strike!

The Black Longsword orbited the Lord of Hanging Jade. He hovered in the air in his white clothes, his gaze toward Emperor Wu full of sharpness and disdain.

Even if this was the Ancient Vault of the Imperial Path, an eighth-rank peak puppet "Emperor" was not his match.

"Sure enough, the Nine Monarchs are fierce," Sun Bumian sighed.

Seeing this, Bai Ye was just about to say something when those threads from the various Achievement Monuments controlling Emperor Wu suddenly shook violently, as if arguing or transmitting some kind of message.

Finally, the thread connected to the highest Achievement Monument swayed, and all the Achievement Monuments fell silent...

The next moment,

Emperor Wu charged toward the First Emperor's Achievement Monument without hesitation!

Emperor Wu's turn was too sudden, and her speed exceeded everyone's expectations. In almost the blink of an eye, that dazzling Imperial Robe had already stepped onto the peak of the mountain!

Jian Changsheng only felt a blur before his eyes, and a mighty imperial aura rushed at his face like a tide.

"No, you..."

Before Jian Changsheng could finish speaking, the sleeve of an Imperial Robe brushed gently before his eyes, and one of Emperor Wu's hands pressed down on his head abruptly like an irresistible thunderbolt!

[Palace Examination] activated!

Seeing this scene, Bai Ye was stunned for a moment. Then, as if realizing something, he abruptly stood up from the ground!

"Not good!! She wants to subjugate Bai Qi?!!"
