Chapter 796: The Blood Moon Purge, Ten Thousand Realms Submit
On the third day after the annihilation of the Void Demon race, the surface of the Middle Plane appeared to be a scene of peace and prosperity.
Major powers sent envoys one after another, offering heavy gifts to congratulate Great Emperor Lun Hui on his invincible divine might.
The Heavenly God Court sent thirty-six spiritual vein mountain peaks.
The Blood Sea Demon Domain offered a thousand-year essence of the blood sea.
The Boundless Immortal Sect even brought out their sect-protecting supreme treasure, the Taiji Yin and Yang Diagram.
But beneath this peaceful facade, undercurrents were quietly surging.
Inside the Heavenly God Court, within a hidden hall.
Third Elder Murong Feng sat in the main seat, with over a dozen trusted elders before him.
"Everyone, the Void Demon race being wiped out seems like a good thing."
Murong Feng said in a deep voice.
"But have you thought about just how strong Great Emperor Lun Hui's power has become?"
"Even three peak Quasi-Saint Mozun were not a match for him in a single exchange."
An elder said with deep concern: "Third Elder is right."
"Now our Heavenly God Court has completely become a vassal, having to hand over thirty percent of our resources every year."
"If this continues, what future does the Heavenly God Court have?"
Another elder lowered his voice: "And the Emperor even sent away all nine princesses."
"This is simply a supreme humiliation!"
A sinister look flashed in Murong Feng's eyes: "So we must take action."
"Take advantage of the fact that Great Emperor Lun Hui just finished a great battle and may have suffered some depletion."
"Unite with other powers to overthrow his rule in one fell swoop!"
The elders looked at each other, and someone said worriedly: "But his strength..."
"No matter how strong, he is still just one person."
Murong Feng sneered.
"I have already contacted the Iron-Blood Demon General of the Blood Sea Demon Domain, as well as several Conservative Elders of the Boundless Immortal Sect."
"With the three parties joining forces and gathering ten thousand elites, we will surely succeed."
At the same time, deep within the Blood Sea Demon Domain.
The Iron-Blood Demon General was gathering his trusted subordinates.
"The Blood Sea Demon Emperor is too weak!"
He said angrily.
"As the dignified master of the Demon Domain, he actually bows down and submits to a human."
"And hands over forty percent of resources every year; it is simply a disgrace!"
A subordinate agreed: "The Demon General is right."
"We Demonic Cultivators, when have we ever bowed our heads to humans?"
"Why don't we set up our own faction and restore the glory of the Demonic path!"
The Iron-Blood Demon General nodded: "I have already contacted like-minded people in the Heavenly God Court and the Boundless Immortal Sect."
"Three days from now at the Hour of the Rat, we will strike simultaneously."
"Attack the three fortresses of the Lun Hui Empire and catch them off guard."
Within the Boundless Immortal Sect, the situation was much the same.
Several Conservative Elders gathered together, discussing how to maintain the sect's independence.
"Our Boundless Immortal Sect has been passed down for ten thousand years; how can we completely submit to others?"
"At the very least, we must maintain a semi-independent status."
"Take this opportunity to unite with other powers and fight for more autonomy."
These conspiracies were soon discovered by the secret agents of the Lun Hui Empire.
After receiving the intelligence, Sima Xue immediately came to Lingxiao Hall.
"Your Majesty, there are people planning to rebel."
She presented the intelligence, her expression grave.
"The Heavenly God Court, the Blood Sea Demon Domain, and the Boundless Immortal Sect all have people involved."
"It is estimated that ten thousand cultivators will strike at the same time."
Lin Xuan sat on the Lun Hui throne, toying with a jade bead in his hand.
He did not even look at the intelligence, only smiling faintly.
"I know."
Sima Xue was stunned: "Your Majesty already knew?"
Lin Xuan waved his hand lightly, and a Water Mirror appeared before him.
The mirror clearly showed the scene of Murong Feng and the others conspiring.
"Under the Lun Hui Heavenly Eye, there are no secrets in the entire Middle Plane."
His voice was calm.
"Every move these clowns make is under my control."
Sima Xue suddenly realized: "Then why does Your Majesty not stop them immediately?"
"Let them jump."
Lin Xuan sneered.
"Just use this opportunity to clear out those who harbor ulterior motives."
"Solve it all at once, to save trouble later."
He looked at Sima Xue: "Pass down the order to have the garrisons at every fortress withdraw."
"Give these rebels a 'chance'."
Sima Xue accepted the order and left, inwardly admiring the Emperor's methods.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The Hour of the Rat was approaching, and the entire Middle Plane was silent.
Murong Feng led three thousand elites of the Heavenly God Court to quietly approach the Eastern Fortress.
"The fortress garrison is small; we must finish this quickly."
He commanded in a low voice.
"After taking the fortress, immediately occupy the teleportation array to cut off the reinforcements of the Lun Hui Empire."
The Iron-Blooded Demon General also led five thousand Demonic Cultivators to attack the Southern Fortress.
"Brothers, after tonight, the Blood Sea Demon Domain will regain its freedom!"
Two thousand disciples of the Boundless Immortal Sect attacked the Western Fortress.
The three forces launched their attacks simultaneously, their momentum fierce.
However, at the very moment they took action.
Boom!
The sky of the entire Middle Plane suddenly turned blood-red.
A blood moon hung high in the sky, emitting an eerie glow.
Immediately after, a massive Dharma Array covering the entire Middle Plane slowly emerged.
The Dharma Array was composed of countless Lun Hui Runes, each rune containing terrifying power.
"This is..."
Murong Feng's expression changed drastically.
Lin Xuan's voice resounded through the heavens and earth like a heavenly thunder.
"Mere clowns, you dare to act presumptuously before Me?"
The pressure contained within the voice made all the rebels feel their souls trembling.
Murong Feng discovered with horror that his body was completely out of his control.
The true essence within his body began to reverse, and his meridians snapped inch by inch.
"No... impossible..."
He wanted to speak, but found he could not even make a sound.
The situation of the other rebels was even more miserable.
Those with lower cultivation levels fell to the ground, bleeding from their seven orifices.
Those with higher cultivation levels also knelt on the ground, unable to move.
The Iron-Blooded Demon General desperately burned his demonic origin, trying to break free from the restraints.
But in front of the Lun Hui Dharma Array, his struggle was like an ant shaking a tree.
"Great Emperor Lun Hui! We know we were wrong!"
He begged for mercy with a hoarse voice.
"Please show mercy!"
The Conservative Elders of the Boundless Immortal Sect also kowtowed one after another.
"Great Emperor, spare our lives! We were confused for a moment!"
"We are willing to offer all our family assets to atone for our sins!"
But Lin Xuan's response was only one word.
"Die."
As the words fell, the souls of all the rebel leaders were instantly extracted.
Countless black chains reached out from the Void, dragging their souls into the Hell Path.
At the very last moment, Murong Feng saw the terrifying scene within the Hell Path.
Countless evil ghosts were tearing at the souls of the sinners.
Lava was churning, and ice was raging.
That was true eternal torment.
"No!"
He let out a final scream, then completely vanished.
The Iron-Blooded Demon General and the other rebel leaders were also dragged into hell.
They would endure endless pain within, never to be released.
As for those ordinary cultivators who had been deceived.
Lin Xuan did not kill them all, but merely abolished their cultivation.
"You were incited by others; the death penalty is waived, but the living punishment is unavoidable."
His voice resounded through the heavens and earth.
"From this day forward, you are demoted to mortals, forbidden from cultivation for life."
The cultivation of thousands of cultivators instantly dissipated, and they turned from high-and-mighty Immortals into mortals.
They knelt on the ground weeping bitterly, but it was already beyond saving.
That night, a blood moon hung high, and the entire Middle Plane was shrouded in an atmosphere of terror.
Everyone witnessed with their own eyes the fate of the rebels.
