Chapter 1335: The Fall of an Emperor (First update, requesting all)

Dong, dong, dong~

The moment they entered the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings, a sound like a funeral bell rang out, and it showed no signs of stopping.

The entire Hall of Ten Thousand Kings even began to vibrate; combined with the funeral bell-like sound, it felt as if a living creature were wailing.

Such a scene made the hearts of the two skip a beat, and they felt a sense of foreboding.

The two landed on their seats and began to observe the changes in the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings, especially the seats at the very front, because even when the Wuxiang King fell, the changes in the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings were nowhere near this intense.

Only when an Emperor falls does the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings manifest such a display.

Among the nine luxurious Emperor Thrones, one of them rapidly dimmed; the originally magnificent throne turned gray, and cracks even appeared on it, which naturally symbolized a fall.

On this gray throne, the two characters "Spirit Emperor" were written, which meant that the Spirit Emperor had fallen!

Li Zhangsheng did not expect that the one to fall would be the Spirit Emperor; although the Spirit Emperor had only attained the Dao for a few hundred years and lacked deep foundations, they remained very mysterious. Crucially, the Spirit Emperor usually leaned towards the Human Emperor, otherwise the tokens of the Human Emperor Mansion would not have been able to pass through the Spirit Emperor's jurisdiction unimpeded.

As for who the culprit was, Li Zhangsheng felt that it was highly likely to be the Human Emperor.

Li Zhangsheng secretly asked the Butterfly King: "How did His Majesty the Spirit Emperor fall?"

The Butterfly King was the only King in the Hu Kingdom, and it was not very far from the Tianling Empire.

"This concubine is also unsure, but not long ago, I saw unusual movements in the East Sea. A five-clawed golden dragon led its dragon children and grandchildren toward the interior; judging by the direction, it should have been heading to the Tianling Empire. The Spirit Emperor's fall must be related to them."

"What is the cultivation realm of that five-clawed golden dragon?"

"This concubine only took a look from afar, but judging by its size, it should have reached the Demon Emperor Level."

"The East Sea Dragon King!"

The five-clawed golden dragon belongs to the top-tier Divine Beasts, and there are only a few of them in the entire Fairy World. Since the other party appeared from the East Sea, who else could it be but the East Sea Dragon King? After all, on the surface, the entire East Sea only has the East Sea Dragon King as a five-clawed golden dragon of the Demon Emperor Level.

Li Zhangsheng was just about to ask more when suddenly, the figure of the Second Prince of the Tianling Empire, Xiang Yutian, appeared on his throne. The first thing he did was cast his gaze upon the Spirit Emperor's throne, his eyes filled with desolation.

Although it was only a consciousness projection, Li Zhangsheng could still feel that Xiang Yutian's mood was extremely poor.

There was no helping it; no one would feel good after losing the ancestor they relied upon, because this meant that the Tianling Empire would fall apart.

Furthermore, the descendants of the Spirit Emperor would also become precarious.

"Brother Xiang, it is truly fortunate that you are safe; please accept my condolences!"

Li Zhangsheng offered his greetings at the appropriate time.

"Brother Li!" Xiang Yutian was speechless; his mind was still in chaos, and for a moment, he forgot how to communicate.

"Brother Xiang, where are you? And what exactly is going on?"

"I am hiding in a different world." Xiang Yutian tried his best to clear his thoughts and barely regained his composure. He paused and continued: "Not long ago, the Human Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor came to the Tianling Empire as guests under the guise of forming an alliance. For the sake of safety, my ancestor specially invited the Wendi from Dongyu. I never expected that the Human Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor had no intention of forming an alliance from the very beginning, so the two sides started fighting."

"Logically speaking, even if my ancestor and Wendi were not the opponents of the Human Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor, they still had the ability to protect themselves, especially since there were many Forbidden Arrays and treasures in the Imperial Palace. As a result, several members of the Dragon Clan suddenly rushed in from somewhere. The leader was a Demon Emperor Level five-clawed golden dragon, and the others were all Demon Emperor Level four-clawed dragons. Even though we tried our best to block them, we were still utterly defeated..."

Li Zhangsheng listened quietly. According to Xiang Yutian's description, after the Dragon Clan joined, the Spirit Emperor and Wendi, who were already at a disadvantage, were completely suppressed, ending with the Spirit Emperor's fall and Wendi escaping with heavy injuries.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Human Emperor, the Phoenix Emperor, and the Dragon Clan are likely still hunting down the heavily injured Wendi.

As for why the Dragon Clan helped the Human Emperor, Li Zhangsheng thought of the Wuxiang King, a Commander of the Human Emperor Mansion, visiting the East Sea Dragon Palace a few months ago. It was very likely that the two sides had already secretly formed an alliance at that time, but had simply not acted on it until now.

The question is, did the Human Emperor form an alliance with the East Sea Dragon King, or with the entire Dragon Clan?

If it were the entire Dragon Clan, the trouble would be huge. As the number one race from ancient times, the Dragon Clan's foundation is exceptionally deep. On the surface, the four Dragon Kings of the Four Seas are all Demon Emperor Level five-clawed golden dragons.

Besides that, the Dragon Clan also has top-tier Divine Beasts such as the Yinglong and the Azure Dragon, not to mention the four-clawed dragons and the nine sons of the dragon. It is rumored that the Zhulong might still be alive, suppressing the Sea Eye.

Favorable weather is a conventional way for the Dragon Clan to obtain merit, and suppressing the Sea Eye yields even more merit, but it requires powerful strength as a prerequisite.

If nothing unexpected happens, there are many veteran Dragon Clan Strongers at the Sea Eye suppressing it together.

Even if the Dragon Clan Strongers in the Sea Eye cannot be easily dispatched, the Four Seas Dragon Clan is still an extremely massive force. Each Dragon Palace is almost equivalent to an Emperor, enough to completely unbalance the situation.

"This is truly terrible!"

Li Zhangsheng thought to himself. After the Spirit Emperor's fall, the Human Emperor's situation, which had previously shown signs of decline, had turned favorable again.

The Human Emperor, the Phoenix Emperor, and the East Sea Dragon Clan—this is a massive force, and it is possible that it is the entire Four Seas Dragon Clan. After all, among the Four Seas, the East Sea is the most noble, and the East Sea Dragon King is also the eldest among the four Dragon Kings.

What puzzled Li Zhangsheng was why the Human Emperor wanted to kill the Spirit Emperor?

If the Bodhi King hadn't lost a Demon Emperor Level Demon Pet, he could have seamlessly linked...

As soon as Li Zhangsheng thought of this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he immediately shifted his gaze to the Bodhi King's throne located below him.

The Bodhi King's consciousness had not entered the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings, but his throne had begun to show imperceptible changes; the already luxurious throne seemed to be trending toward becoming even more magnificent.

"Damn it!"

Li Zhangsheng understood the reason. On the surface, he had finished off one of the Bodhi King's Demon Emperor Level Demon Pets, but that did not mean the Bodhi King could not possess a sixth Demon Emperor Level Demon Pet again.

According to his estimation, the Human Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor likely gave the Bodhi King auxiliary breakthrough treasures such as Rule Crystals, which allowed the Bodhi King to replenish his six Demon Emperor Level Demon Pets in a short period of time.

With the resources possessed by the Human Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor, they would likely have such resources on hand, and even if they didn't, they could trade with the Dragon Clan; after all, the Dragon Clan is known for being as wealthy as the four seas.

Now that the Spirit Emperor has fallen, if there is no second Double-Character King who possesses six Demon Emperor Level Demon Pets, this means that the Bodhi King can directly obtain this vacant Emperor Throne without having to complete the trial.

As for whether there would be a second Double-Character King who possesses six Demon Emperor Level Demon Pets and whose Mental Power has reached the peak, how could the Human Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor not have collected relevant information with their channels and influence?

The answer is obvious: there is only the Bodhi King, a Double-Character King who can immediately ascend to the Emperor Throne.

PS: I originally wanted to arrange for other Emperors to fall, but thinking about how the Spirit Emperor and the protagonist are in the same region...
