Chapter 812: Divine Envoy Descends; Kneel or Die

In the deepest part of the Upper Plane lies the Divine Court of Ten Thousand Worlds.

This is the true ruler of the Upper Plane, the supreme power that governs countless star domains.

The great hall of the Divine Court towers into the clouds, cast entirely from divine jade, radiating an aura of eternal immortality.

Deep within the great hall, seven figures sit atop a cloud platform.

Each of them possesses a terrifying aura, having reached the peak realm of a Sovereign.

"Interesting."

The figure on the far left opens their eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them.

"How many years has it been? Finally, someone dares to challenge the authority of the Divine Court again."

"The last one to do so was that Demon Emperor from one hundred thousand years ago."

"You all should still remember the outcome."

The other six people sneer upon hearing this.

"That Demon Emperor was ultimately struck by divine punishment; his body and soul were annihilated, and he could not even enter the Lun Hui."

"This so-called Great Emperor of Lun Hui is likely unaware of the Divine Court's power."

"Since that is the case, let a Divine Envoy go and make a trip."

"If the other party is sensible, we can give him a chance."

"If he remains stubborn and unyielding, then let him know the majesty of the Divine Court!"

The seven reach a consensus.

Soon, a golden divine light shoots out from the Divine Court, flying toward the Lun Hui Star Domain.

Wrapped within that divine light is a man wearing golden battle armor.

His aura is powerful, and he is clearly at the late stage of the Sovereign realm.

"Great Emperor of Lun Hui..."

A flash of contempt crosses the golden-armored man's eyes.

"When this god arrives, I will let you know what true strength is."

Lun Hui Star Domain, Lingxiao Hall.

Lin Xuan sits cross-legged in the great hall, currently refining three divine artifacts.

The power of the Hun Dun Bell, the Profound Yellow Pagoda, and the Purple Firmament Sword continuously merges into his Lun Hui Dharma Form.

His aura climbs at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Mid-stage Sovereign peak...

Half-step late-stage Sovereign...

When the three divine artifacts are completely refined, Lin Xuan opens his eyes.

A ray of Lun Hui light shoots from his eyes, piercing through the Void.

"Late-stage Sovereign, right before my eyes."

Lin Xuan mutters to himself.

He can feel that he only needs to accumulate for a while longer to break through to the late stage of the Sovereign realm.

By then, his strength will surge once again.

"However, it likely won't be peaceful from here on out."

Lin Xuan stands up and looks outside the hall.

He can sense several powerful auras deep in the Upper Plane peeking in.

One of them is even approaching the Lun Hui Star Domain at an astonishing speed.

"It seems they are not coming with good intentions."

Lin Xuan chuckles, not caring in the slightest.

He raises his hand, and the nine Great Empresses gather in the great hall.

"Your Majesty."

Sima Xue speaks first.

"The resources of the three Divine Dynasties have begun to be tallied; preliminary statistics show three million jin of Divine Origin Stones, one hundred billion Immortal Crystals, and countless divine materials of all kinds."

"In addition, there are hundreds of inheritance grotto-heavens, recording many Secret Techniques of the Upper Plane."

Lin Xuan nods: "Very good, distribute these resources."

"All those who have contributed to the empire shall receive rewards."

"I want the strength of the entire Lun Hui Empire to double within three months."

Excitement flashes in the eyes of the nine Great Empresses.

With these resources, the foundation of the Lun Hui Empire will be greatly enhanced.

"By the way, an uninvited guest is about to arrive."

Lin Xuan changes the subject.

"The visitor's cultivation is at the late stage of the Sovereign realm; they were likely sent by some power to test us."

"Wait here and watch how I deal with him."

Having said that, Lin Xuan's figure flashes and disappears from the great hall.

Three months later.

The Lun Hui Star Domain has been completely transformed.

The territories of the original three Divine Dynasties have been fully integrated, with hundreds of stars connected to form a vast imperial map.

On the plaza in front of Lingxiao Hall, tens of thousands of cultivators come to pay their respects every day.

They come from different star regions, but all share a common identity—subjects of the Lun Hui Empire.

Resources from the three great divine regions of Taixuan, Xuanhuang, and Zixiao are pouring in continuously.

Divine source stones are piled like mountains, Immortal crystals are too numerous to count, and all kinds of divine materials are dazzling.

More importantly, the cultivation techniques and secret manuals passed down by the three divine dynasties for hundreds of thousands of years have also been sent to the Lun Hui star region.

These techniques record many secret arts from the upper planes and are invaluable to the cultivators of the Lun Hui Empire.

Under the orders of Lin Xuan, these resources and techniques are being distributed in an orderly manner.

Anyone who has contributed to the empire can receive corresponding rewards.

For a time, the cultivation atmosphere of the entire Lun Hui Empire reached an unprecedented height.

Countless cultivators broke through their bottlenecks, and their strength surged.

In just three months, more than twenty Supreme-level powerhouses were added.

Even the nine great empresses each made breakthroughs, among whom Sima Xue even touched the threshold of a Sovereign.

And the Core of all this is that Lingxiao Hall standing in the center of the star region.

Inside the hall, Lin Xuan sits cross-legged in the Void.

He is surrounded by the phantom images of the Six Paths of Lun Hui, each one emitting a soul-stirring aura.

The Heavenly Dao releases vast righteous energy, and the Human Dao permeates the myriad phenomena of the mortal world.

The Asura Dao is filled with soaring killing intent, and the Beast Dao roars with heaven-shaking animal cries.

The Hungry Ghost Dao is filled with gloomy resentment, and the Hell Dao is dark and profound.

Under the control of Lin Xuan, the Six Paths of Lun Hui operate continuously, forming a perfect cycle.

Suddenly, Lin Xuan opens his eyes.

Two rays of Lun Hui light shoot out from his pupils, piercing through the Void and reaching the edge of the star region.

"Late-stage Sovereign..."

He mutters to himself, a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

After three months of seclusion, his comprehension of the laws of Lun Hui has advanced further.

Although his cultivation base remains at the peak of the mid-stage Sovereign, his actual combat power is already no weaker than the peak of the late-stage Sovereign.

More importantly, his control over life and death has reached a new height.

Now, he can easily determine the reincarnation destination of any living being.

Whether they go to heaven or enter hell is entirely within his single thought.

"It is about time to come out of seclusion."

Lin Xuan stands up and waves his hand to disperse the Lun Hui phantom images.

He is just preparing to summon the nine great empresses to discuss the next expansion plan.

Suddenly, a strange and powerful aura comes from outside the star region.

This aura is extremely overbearing, carrying a kind of high-and-mighty pressure.

It is as if it were born to be worshipped by all spirits and obeyed by all living beings.

Lin Xuan frowns slightly.

He walks out of the hall and looks toward the Void with his hands behind his back.

He sees that at the edge of the star region, the space suddenly tears open a huge rift.

Golden light pours out from the rift, illuminating half of the star region.

Immediately after, a figure steps through the air from the light.

It is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his forties.

He wears golden battle armor, with complex divine patterns engraved on every scale of the armor.

Eight pairs of golden wings float behind his back, and every feather emits divine light.

In the center of his forehead is a special mark, which seems to be a symbol of some identity.

As soon as he appears, the celestial phenomena of the entire Lun Hui star region begin to change.

The originally clear sky suddenly surges with golden clouds, and countless stars tremble slightly.

It is as if they are welcoming some supreme existence.

The nine great empresses rush over from various places and gather in front of Lingxiao Hall.

When they see that figure clearly, their expressions change in unison.

"This aura..."

Sima Xue says solemnly.

"It far exceeds a normal late-stage Sovereign; I fear it has already touched a higher realm."

The other empresses also nod one after another, their eyes filled with vigilance.
