Chapter 2062: Heavenly Emperor Shi!

The spectators on the uppermost deck of the ship were all considered ‘distinguished guests’ by the Fog Obscured Alms, and none of them were ordinary people.

However, the death of the mighty Emperor from Yellow Spring Sect left them so shocked and horrified that they went numb, their hearts gripped by fear.

Therefore, when Lin Xun remarked that those who disrespected him should also pay the price, they quickly offered him compensation, though reluctant and uncomfortable.

Pills, elixirs, divine materials, rare treasures...

There was an array of items.

Lin Xun no longer fussed about the matter and simply shot another glance at Shi Lezhi and the others who were still kneeling on the ground. “Don’t let me see you again.”

He turned around and entered the courtyard.

Shi Lezhi and the others all breathed a sigh of relief, feeling incredibly fortunate, and swiftly left the area.

……

“Third Senior Sister said that I won’t need to look for Second Senior Brother when I reach the Ancient Nebula Underworld, as he would be able to detect my presence…

“I just don’t know if Second Senior Brother would come to meet me if he senses my arrival?”

Once Lin Xun returned to the courtyard, a frown creased his face as he thought about his purpose of going to the Ancient Nebula Underworld.

Also, before the golden cicada youth left, he asked him to ‘untie the bell.’ Aside from this, he had no other clues to work with, leaving him unsure of where to begin.

“Maybe I’ll go to the Dark Lair and meet the mysterious Miss Qing Ying?” he contemplated.

The power of Fog Obscured Alms must not be underestimated. In every city of the Primordial Chaos World was an underground black market, and all of them were controlled by Fog Obscured Alms!

Lin Xun had never imagined that the origin of Fog Obscured Alms, a force with branches throughout the Primordial Chaos World, would be in the Ancient Nebula Underworld.

While Lin Xun was in deep thought, Xi’s voice suddenly rang out—

“The new Nameless Esteemed Emperor is here.”

Those words made Lin Xun stiffen all over as if a lightning bolt had struck him.

Finally…

Here?

……

On this day, the ownerless taboo law power throughout the Ancient Nebula Road suddenly underwent an alarming change.

It felt like an unattended prison had a new controller.

“He has appeared!”

“From today on, will we once again live under the shadow of taboo law power…”

“This world…how would it change?!”

“Alas!”

On this day, countless big shots, who had played a significant role in the world, sensed the changes in the great dao law power between heaven and earth, and a gloom settled over their hearts.

For the vast majority of living beings in the Ancient Nebula Road, today was no different than usual, and they had not noticed that a boundlessly frightening being had come from the other side of the cosmos!

Mythical Huang Dao Court.

Meditating, Taishu Hong was jolted awake.

He got up, came out of his training place, and saw that the sky had been shrouded in jet-black taboo law power.

Instantly, his pupils shrank.

Rumble!

The pitch-black sky rumbled like muffled thunder as an aura of destruction enveloped the entire Mythical Huang Dao Court.

“What’s going on?”

“A taboo aura!”

“Heavens!”

“How could this be…”

All of a sudden, endless cries and shouts rang out. All disciples of Mythical Huang Dao Court were alerted and immediately stopped what they were doing and stared aghast at the sky.

A wave of indescribable panic and fear swept through them.

Even Emperors were panicking as they couldn’t figure out why the taboo law power would descend upon their Mythical Huang Dao Court.

“Activate the sect protection formation. Everyone, retreat into the formation, and do not act without permission!”

Amidst the oppressive atmosphere and rising panic, Taishu Hong’s majestic and powerful voice boomed out, shaking the heaven and earth.

At the same time, he drew a deep breath, teleported away, and came to the restricted rear mountain.

The air here was thick with primal chaos qi, crackling with occasional faint flashes of lightning. The ancient Mythical Huang Dao Stele stood here, emitting an obscure and mysterious glow.

Taishu Hong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Mythical Huang Dao Stele.

The Mythical Huang Dao Stele, a chaos treasure born in an uncharted land, possessed the mysterious and unfathomable power to withstand against and shield from the taboo law power.

During the countless years when Nameless Esteemed Emperor controlled the taboo law power, the Mythical Huang Dao Court was able to remain neutral and not obey his orders because of the existence of the Mythical Huang Dao Stele.

“Sect Leader.”

Boom!

The space rippled and two figures emerged.

On the left was a tall and slender figure in a daoist robe. His gray hair and beard were unkempt. It was none other than Emperor Ancestor Qingye.

At the Dao Debate Assembly, Emperor Ancestor Qingye had also made an appearance, and confirmed Ruo Su to be part of the Absolute Origin Dao Court.

Standing next to Emperor Ancestor Qingye was a man in hemp clothing with a serious and cold expression on his face. He was none other than Snow Hawk Emperor Ancestor, a living fossil of the Mythical Huang Dao Court.

Just like Emperor Ancestor Qingye, he did not go to explore the other side of the cosmos, but chose to stay in the sect. Presently, Mythical Huang Dao Court only had two Emperor Ancestors watching over the sect.

“Martial Uncles.” Taishu Hong gave them a cupped fist salute.

Emperor Ancestor Qingye and Snow Hawk Emperor Ancestor nodded, both wearing extremely solemn expressions on their faces. It was obvious that they also sensed that something was off.

“It might be an unprecedented tribulation, but as long as the Mythical Huang Dao Stele is still standing, the legacy of our Mythical Huang Dao Court will not end,” Emperor Ancestor Qingye said resolutely.

“Is that right?”

At this moment, a voice echoed across the world, followed by swirling masses of dark, cloud-like taboo law power, spiraling into a staircase descending from the heavens!

Then a god-like figure descended the staircase with his hands behind his back. The heavens and earth were wailing at his every step, and all beings were shaking in submission.

Taishu Hong, Emperor Ancestor Qingye, and Snow Hawk Emperor Ancestor all turned ashen-faced.

The figure was majestic, radiating supreme and boundless power, with taboo law power swirling around him, making him appear as the very embodiment of the heavenly dao itself.

The next second, the figure was standing not far from Taishu Hong and the others.

Even though the distance between them was close, Taishu Hong and the others couldn’t make out the figure, even with their extraordinary cultivation!

The figure was too dazzling, like the great sun shining alone, standing unrivaled in the world. A mere glance at the figure was enough to make one feel suffocating under its presence.

It was like seeing a divine being!

Undoubtedly, the figure was the new Nameless Esteemed Emperor!

Taishu Hong and the others all looked grave as if faced with a formidable enemy.

However, the figure still had his hands behind his back, casting a glance over at the Mythical Huang Dao Stele not far away, and then shifting his gaze onto Taishu Hong and the others.

He stated indifferently, “I came here for two reasons; the first one is to take back control of the taboo law power, and the second, is for revenge.”

The voice was ethereal and tinged with superiority as though it looked down on all living beings in the world.

After taking a deep breath, Taishu Hong said aloud, “My Mythical Huang Dao Court has always remained neutral. It has been that way since ancient times and it will remain so in the future. Can I ask what brings you here, fellow daoist?”

“Did you call me ‘fellow daoist’?”

The figure made no attempt to conceal his disdain, “Remember, in this Ancient Nebula Road, I am...the supreme ruler! You all can call me...Heavenly Emperor Shi!”

“On the other side of the cosmos, the great dao is like the heavens, and I am the Emperor; hence, I am called the Heavenly Emperor.”

The expressions of Taishu Hong and the others changed indefinitely. The Nameless Esteemed Emperor who called himself Heavenly Emperor Shi had displayed an air of being above them the moment he appeared, which made them all feel extremely uncomfortable.

“I came here for one thing,” Heavenly Emperor Shi stated indifferently. “From today on, everyone of Mythical Huang Dao Court must obey me. If anyone dares to disobey this rule, then Mythical Huang Dao Court will no longer need to exist.”

He spoke very directly, like it was not a negotiation, but a command!

Taishu Hong turned livid, and just as he was about to say something, Emperor Ancestor Qingye dragged him back.

“Heavenly Emperor Shi, Mythical Huang Dao Court has never fought against the taboo law power and has never taken part in the conflicts of the world. Why...are you forcing us?” Emperor Ancestor Qingye questioned him in a deep voice.

Heavenly Emperor Shi thought for a moment before he answered, “Since you all are still somewhat useful, I will tell you that, from now on, regardless of who you are or what force you are from, everyone in the Ancient Nebula Road has to submit to me.

“In short, those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish!”

Buzz!

The Mythical Huang Dao Stele suddenly produced strange waves of energy as it rose from the ground, and landed in the hands of Emperor Ancestor Qingye.

A terrifying aura radiated from Emperor Ancestor Qingye and his eyes flashed like lightning. “We just want to remain neutral, but you had to force us into a corner. Do you really think that you can enslave the entire Ancient Nebula Road?”

Heavenly Emperor Shi narrowed his eyes at the Mythical Huang Dao Stele for a moment, then he said aloud, “That treasure may be able to protect your life, but it can’t save the entire Mythical Huang Dao Court. If you don’t believe me, then try it.”

The veins on Emperor Ancestor Qingye’s forehead popped as he struggled with the inner conflict tearing at his heart.

In the end, he sighed, “Sect Leader, you make the decision.”

He did not dare to gamble with the life and death of Mythical Huang Dao Court at stake.

Taishu Hong fell silent for a long while.

In the end, he bowed his head in bitter resignation.

On this day, Mythical Huang Dao Court, which had remained neutral since ancient times, surrendered to the new Nameless Esteemed Emperor Heavenly Emperor Shi.

As soon as the news broke, the entire world was shaken, causing a massive upheaval that terrified countless powerful forces.

It should be mentioned that ever since that grand game of chess came to an end, among the Great Six Courts, Mythical Huang Dao Court, which had suffered no damage at all, had been recognized as the number one dao court in the world!

Unfortunately, on the first day when the new Nameless Esteemed Emperor arrived, Mythical Huang Dao Court had abandoned the neutral stance it had maintained for years!

Who would not be shaken?

The moment that Heavenly Emperor Shi descended, he targeted Mythical Huang Dao Court in order to establish his authority and to announce to the world that, from now on, there could only be one stance for everyone in the Ancient Nebula Road—That was the position of Heavenly Emperor Shi!

When Ling Hongzhuang heard the news, she felt an indescribable sense of sadness.

Not long ago, when Lin Xun was being hunted down by various forces, she tried to persuade Taishu Hong to protect Lin Xun with the power of Mythical Huang Dao Court.

However, Taishu Hong refused with the reason that Mythical Huang Dao Court had always adhered to a neutral stance!

“Is the stance that you have held on to for countless years correct? In the end, weren’t you still forced to bow your head and surrender?” Ling Hongzhuang was filled with disappointment.

Neutrality!

In the face of absolute power, how ironic a stance it became!
