Chapter 811: Tremors Across the Myriad Worlds, the Divine Court Peering In

Inside Lingxiao Hall.

Lin Xuan sat upright on the dragon throne, his gaze like lightning, sweeping over the three figures kneeling below the hall.

Taixuan Heavenly Venerable, Xuanhuang Heavenly Emperor, and Zixiao Dao Ancestor.

These three powerhouses at the late stage of Sovereign realm now had their foreheads pressed to the ground, possessing not a shred of their former majesty.

The divine robes on their bodies were long since shattered, and their auras were weak to the extreme.

Having experienced three days and three nights of slaughter, and having spent countless lifetimes of torment in the Lun Hui illusion, these three main gods of the upper planes had completely lost the heart to resist.

Outside the hall, the nine great Empresses stood in two rows.

Further away, thirty-six Supreme Elders were bound by black chains, lying limp on the ground.

The entire Lun Hui Star Domain was shrouded under Lin Xuan's absolute pressure.

"Raise your heads."

Lin Xuan spoke indifferently.

The three main gods slowly raised their heads, their eyes full of awe.

"From this day forward, your three great divine dynasties are merged into the Lun Hui Empire."

Lin Xuan's voice was not loud, yet it echoed in everyone's heart like the sound of the Heavenly Dao.

"I will not strip you of your divine positions, but everything you possess shall be used by the Empire."

"The Taixuan Divine Dynasty is renamed the First Divine Domain of Lun Hui, the Xuanhuang Divine Dynasty the Second Divine Domain, and the Zixiao Divine Dynasty the Third Divine Domain."

"You three shall serve as the Lords of the Divine Domains, commanding the forces under your banners, paying homage to me three times a year, and offering one hundred thousand catties of Divine Source Stones and ten billion Immortal Crystals."

Once these words were spoken, the expressions of the three main gods shifted slightly.

These resources were not a small amount for a divine dynasty.

But they knew very well that they had no qualifications to bargain now.

"We shall strictly obey the Great Emperor's command."

Taixuan Heavenly Venerable said through gritted teeth.

He took a golden ancient bell from his bosom and held it up with both hands.

"This is the Hun Dun Bell, the national artifact of the Taixuan Divine Dynasty; it has been refined for ten million years and possesses infinite power."

"Today, I offer it to the Great Emperor to show my loyalty."

After saying this, Taixuan Heavenly Venerable felt his heart bleeding.

This divine artifact was refined with a million years of his painstaking effort and had once slain several Sovereign-level powerhouses.

Now he had to hand it over; it was even more painful than killing him.

Seeing this, Xuanhuang Heavenly Emperor could only bite the bullet and take out an ancient pagoda.

"This is the Xuanhuang Pagoda, capable of suppressing ten thousand laws; please accept it, Great Emperor."

Zixiao Dao Ancestor likewise offered a divine sword.

"The Zixiao Sword, containing the laws of thunder, offered to the Great Emperor."

Lin Xuan waved his hand, and the three divine artifacts flew into his palm.

He glanced at them casually before storing them into his Lun Hui Dharma Image.

The moment the divine artifacts entered his body, Lin Xuan's aura climbed once more.

The three main gods felt this pressure and became even more desperate in their hearts.

The opponent's strength was already terrifying, and now that he had obtained three divine artifacts, wouldn't he be even harder to shake?

"However, having divine artifacts alone is not enough."

Lin Xuan stood up and walked slowly down the steps.

He arrived before the three and raised his hand to flick out three imprints.

The imprints sank into the center of their brows, transforming into a Lun Hui pattern.

"This is the Lun Hui Brand."

Lin Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the three.

"From now on, your lives and deaths are within a single thought of mine."

"If you harbor any disloyalty, the power of Lun Hui will immediately detonate, causing your souls to be extinguished and you to fall into eternal suffering in the cycle of Lun Hui."

"If you are loyal and devoted, I will naturally grant you benefits."

The three main gods shook violently.

They could clearly feel the brand at the center of their brows; that power went deep into their souls and could not be dispelled at all.

This meant that their fates were truly controlled by Lin Xuan.

Taixuan Heavenly Venerable gave a bitter smile: "The Great Emperor's divine abilities are vast; we are willing to submit."

Xuanhuang Heavenly Emperor and Zixiao Dao Ancestor also expressed their stance one after another.

Only then did Lin Xuan reveal a satisfied smile.

He waved his hand, signaling the three to rise.

"Very good. Since that is the case, I will not treat you unfairly."

Lin Xuan turned and walked toward the terrace outside the hall.

The nine great Empresses followed closely behind.

The three main gods exchanged glances and followed as well.

Standing on the terrace, Lin Xuan gazed into the endless starry sky.

"Pass down the order: announce the submission of the three divine dynasties to all the worlds."

His voice was not loud, yet it spread throughout the entire Lun Hui Star Domain.

"From this day forth, the Lun Hui Empire officially marches into the Upper Plane!"

"For those who voluntarily surrender, I shall let bygones be bygones and bestow upon them titles and ranks."

"Should any dare to resist, they shall be killed without mercy!"

As the voice fell, a heaven-shaking cheer erupted throughout the entire Lun Hui Star Domain.

Countless cultivators were extremely excited; they had witnessed a historic moment.

An empire from a Middle Plane had officially declared war on the Upper Plane!

Sima Xue stepped forward and knelt on one knee.

"Your Majesty, I shall issue the decree to the world at once."

Lin Xuan nodded: "Go, let the ten thousand worlds know the prestige of the Lun Hui Empire."

Sima Xue received the order and left.

Soon, hundreds of divine ships sailed out from the Lun Hui Star Domain.

Each divine ship hung a massive Lun Hui banner, flying off in all directions.

They had only one purpose—to spread this news across the entire Upper Plane.

At the same time, the great formation of the Lun Hui Star Domain began to expand.

The phantom of the Six Paths of Lun Hui shrouded hundreds of millions of miles, incorporating the territory of the Three God Dynasties within it.

The star domains that originally belonged to the Three God Dynasties were now all being transformed by the Laws of Lun Hui.

The entire process lasted for three days and three nights.

When everything settled, the territory of the Lun Hui Empire had expanded by more than ten times.

And this news swept through the entire Upper Plane like a storm.

The Upper Plane, Qingyun Star Domain.

Inside a magnificent divine palace, hundreds of experts gathered together.

At the head was an old man in white robes, his aura unfathomable.

"Everyone, I believe you have all heard about the surrender of the Taixuan Three God Dynasties."

The white-robed old man said in a deep voice.

"A force from a Middle Plane was actually able to subdue three late-stage Sovereign experts; this matter is of great significance."

The palace instantly erupted into an uproar.

"How is that possible? Taixuan Heavenly Venerable has been a late-stage Sovereign for hundreds of thousands of years!"

"Even if the three of them joined forces, they shouldn't have been defeated so thoroughly."

"What exactly is the background of that Lun Hui Great Emperor?"

The crowd discussed fervently, their faces full of shock and confusion.

The white-robed old man raised his hand, signaling for silence.

"According to intelligence, that Lun Hui Great Emperor's cultivation is at the mid-stage Sovereign realm."

"But the cultivation technique he possesses is extremely terrifying, suspected to be the inheritance of an ancient Great Emperor."

"The Taixuan Three Gods were no match even when joining forces, and were ultimately forced to surrender."

Once these words were spoken, the crowd was even more shocked.

A mid-stage Sovereign defeating three late-stage Sovereigns?

This simply did not conform to common sense!

"Then how should we respond?"

A burly man with a sturdy build asked in a deep voice.

"If the Lun Hui Empire truly intends to conquer the Upper Plane, our Qingyun Star Domain will bear the brunt of it."

The white-robed old man pondered for a moment: "We must not act rashly in this matter."

"First, send envoys to probe and see the other party's true intentions."

"If we can coexist peacefully, that is best; if the other party is aggressive..."

A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Then we can only ask the Divine Court to intervene."

The crowd nodded one after another; this was indeed the safest method.

Similar scenes were playing out all over the Upper Plane.

Those forces that had originally looked down on the Lun Hui Empire were all beginning to re-evaluate.

Some chose to show goodwill, sending envoys with generous gifts to the Lun Hui Star Domain.

Others chose to wait and watch, wanting to see how the situation would develop.

But more numerous were those experts who remained secretly unconvinced.
