Chapter 200: Imperial Decree Sixteen (Thanks to the expert for the certification: Please do not use special criteria)

News spread that the Ye family's imperial son had subdued the Black Dragon Emperor and obtained the divine weapon.
Even the people of the Heavenly Palace were personally slaughtered by the Ye family's imperial son.
This shook the entire realm.
"It seems the Ye family's imperial prince has cultivated for less than a hundred years. There are no weaklings in the Heavenly Palace, and the Bright-Eyed King of the Heavenly Palace is among the best, hailed as a potential Ninth Heavenly King. Yet now he's been killed by the Ye family's imperial prince, who has cultivated for less than a hundred years!"
"Now, the Ye family's imperial prince has likely incurred the wrath of the Heavenly Palace. The Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace stands at the pinnacle of the Emperor's Path, one of the most promising individuals to become an Emperor in this era. Few on the Emperor's Path can rival him."
"Not necessarily... the Ye family's imperial prince was short-lived; perhaps it was just a fleeting moment. The Soul-Destroying Curse cannot be broken!"
"Yes... it's truly a pity. If the Ye family's imperial prince hadn't been afflicted by the Soul-Destroying Curse, what extraordinary talent would he have possessed? One of the most promising talents to become an Emperor in this era!"
"Judging by the time, the deadline for the Ye family's imperial prince being cursed by the Soul-Destroying Curse is approaching. I wonder how many hearts will be tempted by the supreme Emperor weapon and the Great Emperor's inheritance that the Ye family's imperial prince obtained!"
"This Emperor's Path...is far from peaceful~"
"......"
......
Within a certain realm
Su Chen was comprehending the Emperor's inheritance he had obtained at the Fifth Emperor's Gate.
The Emperor's inheritance he had obtained was called the Flying Immortal Scripture, a legacy left behind by the previous generation's Flying Immortal Dao Body.
The Flying Immortal Dao Body aura that Su Chen displayed triggered an Emperor Weapon left behind by a former Flying Immortal Emperor. The deity within the Emperor Weapon acknowledged Su Chen, taking him as a disciple on behalf of the former Flying Immortal Emperor, imparting to him the Emperor Scripture and the profound mysteries of perfecting the Flying Immortal Dao Body.
The former Emperor who had attained enlightenment with the Flying Immortal Dao Body was undoubtedly Su Chen's best teacher in this life, and also his greatest fortune. In just a few decades, Su Chen's understanding of the Flying Immortal Dao Body had advanced by leaps and bounds.
In Su Chen's mind, there was a small tower, radiating the power of the Flying Immortal.
This small tower is the legendary supreme imperial weapon left behind by the ancient Flying Immortal Emperor.
Su Chen opened his eyes, gazing into the deep sky. His Myriad Laws Heavenly Eye swirled, revealing countless auras within the profound expanse.
"A bunch of rats!"
He calculated the time.
He had been afflicted with the Soul-Destroying Curse for a hundred years.
No being afflicted with the Soul-Destroying Curse could live past a hundred years.
Countless prodigies on the Emperor's path, coveting the Emperor's inheritance, were waiting for the moment the Soul-Destroying Curse would erupt, vying for the Emperor's legacy. No one could resist the allure of an Emperor's inheritance!
Su Chen lowered his eyes. His aura was rapidly waning, making him appear frail and old. Then, he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"The Soul-Destroying Curse is only a hundred years old, is it Heaven's will to destroy me, Ye Chen?"
Su Chen questioned the injustice of Heaven, his tone filled with sorrow.
The Ye family's imperial son... is truly finished! His aura is waning, his life force is dying out!
"Even someone as powerful as the Ye family's imperial son cannot escape the Soul-Destroying Curse."
Some watched this scene with pity.
But even more were greedy!
After all... that was an imperial weapon!
And it contained the inheritance of a great emperor, who wouldn't be tempted?
Within the dense mass of auras, one aura was rapidly growing stronger, and a creature with tentacles on its head and a green shell on its back could be vaguely seen appearing.
"What is there to fear from a dying man?"
"Since you won't take this Imperial Path inheritance, then I will!"
The green creature was incredibly arrogant, clearly a Saint-level being. It stretched out a hand, intending to grab Su Chen.
At that moment, a terrifying aura surged forth, wreathed in black flames. Upon closer inspection, it was the black mudfish hovering beside Su Chen, suddenly unleashing a terrifying power.
"Black Dragon Emperor, is that you?"
The green creature clearly recognized the Black Dragon Emperor, its expression showing some apprehension. "The Ye family's imperial prince is dying, why do you still continue to follow him?"
The Black Dragon Emperor roared, "My master won't die, only you will! You only dare to appear when my master is in dire straits. If my master hadn't been so severely injured, who among you lowly scoundrels would dare to show your faces?"
The green creature coldly retorted, "Stubborn fool!"
The green creature and the Black Dragon Emperor engaged in battle, but in less than a few rounds, the Black Dragon Emperor's Hellfire Spear pierced through the green creature, staining the starry sky with blood.
Too powerful!
The Black Dragon Emperor, following Su Chen for only a few decades, has seen its combat power rise another level!
Seeing this scene, several terrifying auras simultaneously appeared in the starry sky, surrounding the Black Dragon Emperor. These were all incredibly powerful geniuses!
"A black dragon, its entire body a treasure trove! Extract its tendons, drink its blood, forge its soul into a priceless artifact!"
These people's target was actually the Black Dragon Emperor!
A great battle erupted!
But this wasn't over yet. The Black Dragon Emperor was held back, and more beings appeared, heading straight for Su Chen.
A massive hand pressed down on the powerful beings charging towards him. In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere, more than ten Saint-level beings perished, and a being radiating golden light displayed unparalleled dominance.
"It's a Primordial Saint! This Ye family's imperial son is truly extraordinary, actually managing to subdue such an arrogant Primordial Saint!"
Killing those of the same realm like ants, the Primordial Saint was truly terrifyingly powerful.
Even so, a supreme powerhouse lurking in the starry sky still appeared. This was a sealed Saint King realm prodigy, now reborn due to the Emperor's inheritance, directly attacking Ji Changkong with unparalleled arrogance: "The Innate Saint Spirit is indeed unmatched in combat power, but your cultivation is far too weak!"
"Today, I will slay the legendary Innate Saint Spirit, staining the forbidden realm with blood!"
The Saint King suddenly attacked, but Ji Changkong remained unmoved. Countless laws of power descended from his head, his physical body flawless. He unleashed a punch, clashing with the Saint King.
The difference in realm was indeed vast... but for an Innate being like this, realm was not the sole criterion for victory!
The Saint King... was torn apart!
Those auras that had once coveted Su Chen's secrets were now filled with fear. They had misunderstood one thing... Even if the Ye family's imperial prince were dead, his followers could easily kill them. Both the Black Dragon Emperor and Ji Changkong were top-tier geniuses, unparalleled on the Emperor's Path!
"Could it be that even if the Ye family's imperial prince is dead... no one can obtain the Great Emperor's inheritance?"
They had all been hoping for Su Chen's death, believing that his demise would open the door to the Great Emperor's inheritance... But...
Reality had dealt them a heavy blow!
