Chapter 422: Sky Emperor
"Your Majesty is welcome to come out of seclusion!"
"Your Majesty is welcome to come out of seclusion!!"
Deafening cheers resounded through the sky.
Outside a royal paradise on the imperial star of the Sky Empire, royal relatives, court ministers and others knelt on the ground.
On the Imperial Star, all those who are qualified to meet the Emperor of Sky and Sky gather here.
It’s not for any other reason, just because today is the day when Emperor Kongtian completes his training and comes out of seclusion.
If nothing unexpected happens, Emperor Kongtian will definitely be able to reach the legendary upper ninth realm when he comes out of seclusion this time.
From the previous realm to the ninth realm, the gap between each realm is as huge as heaven and earth.
Below the upper five realms, it is not worth mentioning.
Above the upper five realms, every step forward requires the consumption of countless resources and time.
Not to mention the upper eighth realm to the upper ninth realm, which is an almost insurmountable chasm.
Emperor Kongtian is extremely gifted and talented. After only practicing for less than a thousand years, he has reached the upper eighth realm that most people cannot reach.
However, even for someone as talented as Emperor Kongtian, it took him nearly two thousand years to reach the peak of the upper eight realms.
This final half step into the upper ninth realm consumed another thousand years of his time.
This is enough to show that the further you progress in your practice, the more difficult it becomes.
Those who can enter the upper nine realms are the best throughout the ages.
Just as everyone was cheering, the door to the paradise opened.
An extremely powerful pressure swept out, and the people waiting outside suddenly felt as if the sky was falling and pressing on them unable to move.
However, this pressure was only released unintentionally by the person inside and was quickly taken back.
Everyone recovered from the pressure and looked up towards the exit of the cave.
I saw a man with a cold and majestic look slowly walking out from inside.
He was wearing a golden dragon robe, with his black hair casually draped behind him, and there were nine golden dragons surrounding him to protect him.
There is a half-opened book on top of his head. A faint golden light shines through the book and falls on the man's head, making him look even more solemn and sacred.
With every step the man took, a golden lotus emerged from the ground.
After the golden lotus blossomed, the entire world was filled with Sanskrit sounds, and the great Dao of heaven and earth seemed to be chanting for it at this moment.
Wherever the man's eyes swept, everyone lowered their heads.
No one dared to look him in the face. They all lowered their heads and shouted loudly:
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for breaking through to the Supreme Ninth Realm!!"
Emperor Kongtian looked at the people kneeling on the ground and said calmly:
"Stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone stood up, and everyone had an expression of great respect on their face.
This is their Majesty, the invincible man in their hearts.
This is the most powerful existence of the Aerospace Empire and the invincible belief in their hearts.
" Did anything important happen while I was in seclusion?"
Although Emperor Kongtian's voice was very soft, everyone present could hear it clearly.
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but lower their heads slightly.
They already knew what happened in the Northern Territory.
The lords of the two domains died in the battle, and His Royal Highness the Second Prince also died in the Northern Domain.
This matter will definitely cause His Majesty's anger.
Everyone was afraid of angering the emperor, so no one dared to speak out about this matter at this time.
"Master Hong, won't you tell me something?"
"Yes, Lord Hong, this is the chaos that happened in your Northern Territory."
Everyone looked at Hong Yan, the Lord of the Northern Territory, hoping that he would step forward and speak out about the matter.
After all, the Northern Territory was under his jurisdiction, and he even escaped back to the Imperial Star.
With the power of Emperor Kongtian, he could naturally not hide the conversation of his subordinates from him.
"Hong Yan, what happened in the Northern Territory?"
"Why are you coming to the Imperial Star if you're not guarding the Northern Territory?"
Hong Yan's face flushed red, he knelt on the ground with a plop and shouted:
"Your Highness, I am guilty!"
"Your Majesty, please punish me!!"
As the Lord of the Northern Territory, he deserted the battlefield. Feeling that he had lost face, he could only kneel on the ground and beg for punishment, not daring to look up at Emperor Kongtian.
"What happened?"
The Emperor of Sky's voice turned cold.
Look at everyone's expressions and Hong Yan's series of actions.
Emperor Kongtian even thought that the Dragon Emperor in the Beiwu restricted area had come out to cause trouble.
Otherwise, with Hong Yan's ability, he wouldn't have behaved like this.
If he really is the Dragon Emperor, it would be a good thing for him, and he would have a legitimate reason to do so.
A thousand years ago, he seemed to be tied with the Dragon Emperor, but he knew that it was all thanks to the help of the magical treasure above his head that he was able to barely tie.
In fact, he lost.
Now that he has finally broken through to the ninth realm, this time, he will definitely fight again.
"Your Majesty, during the time when Your Majesty was in seclusion, the remnants of the Wushuang Alliance were ready to make a move, and even killed dozens of people from my Northern Territory and a star destroyer fleet!"
"I went to the restricted area and took advantage of the opportunity to fight the Dragon Emperor. I successfully captured an elder of the Wushuang Alliance with the two domain masters of the East and West domains."
"His Highness heard that I was injured and rushed to the Northern Territory to take charge of the situation. As a result..."
Having said this, Hong Yan paused and didn't dare to continue.
Emperor Kongtian was obsessed with spiritual practice and had only two sons and one daughter in his life.
The eldest son died young, leaving only this youngest son.
So I indulged him a little.
Although the Second Prince has a violent and cruel personality, no one dares to control him because he is the only son of Emperor Kongtian.
Now that the second prince is dead, everyone knows what will happen.
"What was the result? Go on!"
Although Emperor Kongtian's expression was cold, he was not angry yet.
"The Second Prince... The Second Prince and the two domain masters of the East and West were unfortunately killed!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the people who were still standing knelt on the ground, lowered their heads, and dared not look at Emperor Kongtian.
For a moment, the atmosphere outside the entire cave was extremely depressing.
No one dared to make the slightest sound.
Even the free-flowing wind seemed to take a detour and avoid this place.
Emperor Kongtian looked at Hong Yan, who was kneeling on the ground and unable to get up. There was no expression on his face except indifference.
Perhaps he has lived too long, and even the expression of anger no longer appears on his face.
No one knows what Emperor Kongtian is thinking at this moment.
But everyone knows that beneath the calm waves, there is an invisible surging tide.
After a long wait, the cold voice of Emperor Kongtian sounded again.
"Do you know who did it?"
Emperor Kongtian didn't seem to have any intention of punishing Hong Yan, he just asked casually.
"Your Majesty, I don't know."
This is what Hong Yan feared the most. He fled without even knowing who the other party was.
His behavior is a serious crime no matter where he is.
As the lord of a region, escaping without fighting would never make people feel comfortable.
But at that time, Hong Yan just instinctively wanted to survive and didn't think too much about it.
Although he felt a little regretful later, things had already happened and he had no choice but to bite the bullet and meet Emperor Kongtian.
But he is not really here to die. He still has a chance to save his life. It depends on whether Emperor Kongtian will give him this opportunity.
Just when everyone thought that Emperor Kongtian would execute Hong Yan, Emperor Kongtian spared his life.
"Since you were seriously injured in the battle with the Dragon Emperor, I will spare your life this time."
After hearing this, Hong Yan was delighted and thought that he had made the right bet this time.
Then he hurriedly said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something else to say!"
