Chapter 213: Imperial Decree (Twenty-Nine)

An aura, like the blazing sun, swept across the universe without any concealment, and countless powerful figures sensed its supreme power.
"It's the Great Emperor... He killed four Supreme Beings, and now he's continuing his purge."
"That direction leads to the Myriad Dragon Cave... The Dragon Emperor of the Myriad Dragon Cave attacked and killed Emperor Ye, and an ancient demon race being emerged to protect the Myriad Dragon Cave. I wonder if he can protect it this time."
"Some guys are going to be in trouble... That Emperor Ye isn't a magnanimous person!"
"..."
Above the Myriad Dragon Cave
Even before the person arrived, terrifying Dao phenomena manifested, and the entire world trembled.
Inside the Myriad Dragon Cave, the Imperial Array rose, and Imperial Weapons emerged from within. All the powerful figures within the Myriad Dragon Cave were alarmed, their expressions filled with horror and despair.
A Great Emperor has personally arrived at the Myriad Dragon Cave!
The supreme emperor's gaze swept across the vast expanse, his majestic imperial voice resounding throughout the entire Ten Thousand Dragon Cave.
"Dragon Emperor, will you choose to come out and die, or will I, this emperor, raze the entire Ten Thousand Dragon Cave to the ground?"
From within the Ten Thousand Dragon Cave, an ancient dragon, taller than any star, flew out. Its three heads bowed, appearing so insignificant before the emperor.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
The Dragon Emperor of the Ten Thousand Dragon Cave never imagined that in this situation, the Ye family's son would still attain emperorhood. But he knew that the Ten Thousand Dragon Cave's fate was sealed; facing the current emperor, the Ten Thousand Dragon Cave had no chance of victory.
"This lowly dragon knows its sins are grave and is willing to die. I beg Your Majesty for mercy, to spare the other dragons."
The Dragon Emperor bowed his head. All the dragons in the Ten Thousand Dragon Cave grieved. They had witnessed their emperor endure humiliation, yet were powerless to do anything.
They hated it!
Su Chen looked at his former nemesis, now as insignificant as an ant, his life and death held entirely in his hands.
The entire Myriad Dragon Cave seemed so small.
"Unfortunately... they hate me."
Su Chen's gaze turned icy as he looked at the Myriad Dragon Cave behind the Dragon Emperor.
The Dragon Emperor let out a bitter laugh, the starry sky trembled, and an overwhelming imperial might rose from within the Myriad Dragon Cave.
The Dragon Emperor had sacrificed himself, offering his body and soul. At this moment, the remnant soul of the Great Emperor within the Myriad Dragon Cave was awakened—a technique left behind by the former Great Emperor of the Myriad Dragon Cave.
That supreme figure, like an emperor who ruled over all living beings, confronted Su Chen across a distant era, causing the Great Dao of the entire universe to roar, sending chills down everyone's spine.
"It's the remnant spirit of the Great Emperor of the Myriad Dragon Cave! This is the Myriad Dragon Cave's last trump card, and now it's been used. It seems the current Great Emperor is determined to annihilate the Myriad Dragon Cave!"
"That Dragon Emperor of the Myriad Dragon Cave once reigned supreme over the starry sky, possessing extraordinary strength. Even a mere remnant spirit possesses such power!"
"Unfortunately... it's ultimately just a remnant spirit."
"..."
In the starry sky
"Current Great Emperor, retreat. Destroying the Myriad Dragon Cave will bring you no benefit."
"Too much bloodshed is not a good thing."
The Dragon Emperor calmly looked at Su Chen.
"A mere remnant spirit dares to point fingers at me!"
Su Chen looked at the Dragon Emperor's mangled body, facing this former Great Emperor with no reverence.
No matter how powerful the Dragon Emperor was, that was in the past. This era is his era!
"The Myriad Dragon Cave, I will surely destroy it! Your remnant soul cannot stop me!"
Su Chen exuded a boundless aura, unleashing an imperial seal that suppressed the Dragon Emperor.
A remnant soul, wielding an imperial weapon, fought against Su Chen, displaying the majesty of an ancient emperor, showcasing unparalleled prowess as it battled through the void.
Unfortunately, it was ultimately just a remnant soul. With its demise, the divine being within the Dragon Emperor's imperial weapon wailed, directly suppressed and obliterated by Su Chen. With the remaining materials, Su Chen planned to reforge the Flying Immortal Tower and the Hundred Battles Golden Armor. Both the Flying Immortal Tower and the Hundred Battles Golden Armor bore indelible scars from their battle with the Supreme Being.
The Myriad Dragon Cave was filled with despair. Although the imperial formation was powerful, it couldn't hinder Su Chen's advance. Su Chen directly pierced through the imperial formation, unleashing supreme power that obliterated the entire Myriad Dragon Cave.
Destroying the Myriad Dragon Cave yielded countless treasures, but… Su Chen felt his control over the heavens and earth weaken; in other words, his strength was gradually diminishing.
"Is it because I destroyed the Myriad Dragon Cave that Heaven and Earth have lessened their recognition of me?"
Memories surfaced in Su Chen's mind. The mission of the current Great Emperor was to maintain the prosperity of all races. An Emperor is the Emperor of all races, not just one particular clan. Su Chen personally destroyed the Myriad Dragon Cave; in Heaven and Earth's eyes, this was an act of atrocity.
However... Su Chen didn't regret it. Mere rules, trying to bind an Emperor?
The Myriad Dragon Cave was destroyed, so be it.
Su Chen didn't stop, continuing to the next place.
Within the Divine Eye Clan
The Divine Eye Clan, a major clan of the Divine Race
possessed the foundation of a Great Emperor.
However, their Great Emperor had been killed, and their Great Emperor foundation was now a joke.
Even the surviving Holy Light Supreme had been personally killed by Su Chen.
Su Chen effortlessly annihilated the entire Divine Eye Clan, plundering all their resources.
In the Divine Race's sacred hall, not a single being dared to stop him.
However, Su Chen didn't leave. He went straight to the Sacred Hall of the Divine Race, startling an ancient being who immediately appeared inside.
"Your Majesty, the Divine Eye Clan has been expelled from our race. It was their individual act, and has nothing to do with our Sacred Hall!"
The ancient being trembled, fearing that the Emperor, in a fit of rage, would annihilate the Sacred Hall.
Su Chen glanced at him indifferently: "You say so? When the Divine Eye Clan attacked me, they were apparently still members of your race."
The ancient being was drenched in cold sweat, trembling as he said, "What can Your Majesty do to spare our race's life? Please enlighten me."
Su Chen pondered for a moment, then made a list and handed it to the ancient being.
"Deliver these items to the Ye family within a month. If I don't see them, don't blame me for visiting again in a month."
Su Chen departed.
This wasn't out of mercy.
Destroying the entire divine race is unlikely, but intimidating them and extorting money from them wouldn't be bad.
After Su Chen left,
the ancient being of the Sacred Temple straightened up from his hunched back, looking at the list in his hand.
"One Imperial Scripture... 10,000 secret scrolls of the divine race... 10 divine herbs..."
With each word, the ancient being of the Sacred Temple felt his heart bleed. Each item on the list was priceless, but now they were needed in large quantities.
These are the core resources of the divine race... If they were handed over, no matter how profound those resources were, it would still damage their vitality.
"Never mind..."
Giving away these resources would only damage their vitality to some extent... But if they didn't give them away, it would be far more than just damaging their vitality!
