Chapter 538 Supreme Emperor Body! (4K)
"You dare speak to me like this."
Emperor Ku could not believe that Lu Changsheng would also throw down harsh words, showing no respect for the son of the Heavenly Emperor.
His status was lofty in the Heavenly Court, and the talents from the eight Divine Palaces didn't dare to offend him.
There was nothing he desired that he could not obtain.

Lu Changsheng's eyes filled with anger; his opponent was the son of the strongest in the Immortal Realm, otherwise Lu Changsheng would definitely find a way to kill him.
Even though his opponent was the son of the Heavenly Emperor, once Lu Changsheng reached the Longevity Immortal Realm, he would thoroughly settle things.
Before reaching the power of the Heavenly Emperor, he could only rely on public opinion to strike at the Emperor's son.
The elders and disciples from the ten thousand Divine Palaces and various Holy Lands and Prestigious Families looked at each other in dismay.
No one expected that Emperor Ku would become an enemy of Lu Changsheng over a woman, nor did they expect that Lu Changsheng would firmly stand up against Emperor Ku.
Silence reigned across the ten thousand Divine Palaces; Emperor Ku was a member of the Heavenly Court, and with the Heavenly Emperor as the master of the Heavenly Court, they dared not speak out of respect for the Emperor's son.
The various Holy Lands also dared not criticize Emperor Ku because the Heavenly Emperor was present.
Lin Xuantong from Mount Taihua Sacred Land was the first to speak, "Given the Emperor's son's status, there's hardly anything he can't obtain. But this time, what the Emperor's son is demanding is the other's Dao companion, which is rather excessive."
Lu Changsheng was Lin Xuantong's disciple, and naturally, Lin Xuantong would protect his disciple.
Moreover, this time Emperor Ku's actions were too excessive, even attempting to snatch someone's love, which Lin Xuantong found unacceptable.
Even if the opposite party was the son of the Heavenly Emperor, Lin Xuantong still wanted to speak reason.
Daoxuan True Sovereign from the Kunlun Holy Land said, "The Emperor's son is the future master of the Heavenly Court; besides power, he should also champion justice and act righteously on behalf of heaven. How can he act so recklessly?"
The Kunlun Holy Land was the foremost among the Lower Realm Holy Lands. Once he voiced his support for Lu Changsheng, other Holy Lands gained confidence and also began to voice their support.
"Indeed, the Heavenly Court also cannot be too excessive; otherwise, who would follow the Heavenly Court's orders in the future?"
"Everything can't escape the word 'reason'; even the Heavenly Court needs to act reasonably."
"The Heavenly Court should set an example for the Immortal Realm, and the Emperor's son's actions are no different from a Demon Chief who abducts ordinary women."
"Although our strength is not comparable to that of the Heavenly Court, we are willing to support Lu."
The crowd from the various Holy Lands was incensed, greatly dissatisfied with Emperor Ku's actions.
Even if Emperor Ku had the strongest backing in the Immortal Realm, the various Holy Lands were not to be trifled with.
Because Emperor Ku was in the wrong, aside from Miluo Palace, other Divine Palaces out of the ten thousand also found it difficult to support Emperor Ku.
Xia Ningxue anxiously sent a voice transmission to Lu Changsheng: "Lu, I didn't…"
Before Xia Ningxue could finish speaking, Lu Changsheng interrupted her: "I believe you."
"Lu..."
Xia Ningxue was even more touched.
Lu Changsheng trusted her unconditionally.
Emperor Ku's words, on the contrary, brought the two of them closer together.
Li Heng, the Palace Master of Guanghan Palace, also sent a voice transmission: "All our elders and disciples in Guanghan Palace support you and Xue'er. It's better to relinquish your rights to avoid being harmed since Emperor Ku has become your enemy. His bet doesn't count."
"Thank you for your support, Palace Master, but I'm not planning to give up yet because I intend to defeat him."
Lu Changsheng was moved by the unconditional support from Mount Taihua and Guanghan Palace.
Purple Void Palace from Kunlun Mountain also supported him fully. Lu Changsheng was initially surprised, then quickly understood the intentions of Purple Void Palace.
Purple Void Palace, being the foremost among the Lower Realm Holy Lands and having a tense relationship with the Heavenly Court, definitely supported Lu Changsheng wholeheartedly, as he was from Mount Taihua Sacred Land and was in conflict with the Heavenly Court. This would win the support of other major Holy Lands.
With the support of the various major Holy Lands, Lu Changsheng had the upper hand in public opinion.
Li Heng was stunned when he heard that Lu Changsheng intended to defeat Emperor Ku.
What was he saying?
Emperor Ku possessed a special constitution, "Supreme Emperor Body," unbeatable at the same level. Could Lu Changsheng really defeat him?
"This guy has a conflict with the Emperor's son. He's going to suffer next."
"In the upcoming competition, the Emperor's son definitely won't hold back. Although under so many eyes, he wouldn't beat him to death and destruction, but severe injuries are unavoidable."
Tian Hao and Tian Chengjian, defeated by Lu Changsheng, sneered. They were not Lu Changsheng's match, but Emperor Ku would avenge them.
"His Highness the Emperor's son's actions are not honorable."
Chu Wuqing, the number one talent of Wushen Palace, stood with his arms crossed over his chest, watching the final competition.
Although he too lost to Lu Changsheng, he accepted his defeat wholeheartedly, but felt dissatisfied with Emperor Ku's actions.
"Emperor Ku went too far."
Yuexi, the number one talent of Mysterious Lady Palace, had just been severely beaten by Lu Changsheng but covertly supported him.
Seeing the crowd uproar, the Heavenly Emperor finally spoke from the supreme throne: "My son was only jesting, do not take it seriously."
Emperor Ku also received a voice transmission from the Heavenly Emperor, and his expression changed.
Emperor Ku realized he had misspoken, potentially sparking dissatisfaction among the various Holy Lands and Prestigious Families towards the Heavenly Court, and thus damaging the dignity of the Heavenly Emperor, so he fell silent.
"So it was just a jest."
The crowd also knew that the Heavenly Emperor was trying to smooth things over. Given the Heavenly Emperor's prestige and the threat from the Demon Realm, they let it vaguely pass.
They couldn't possibly ask the Heavenly Emperor to discard the Emperor's son, right?
This competition was precisely organized by the Heavenly Emperor to consolidate the position of the Emperor's son, showing how much the Heavenly Emperor valued him.
"This is troubling. I didn't expect the trip to Qianyuan Cave Heaven and the people from Guanghan Palace saving Emperor Ku would lead him to covet the Holy Maiden of Guanghan. In the upcoming battles, Emperor Ku might not hold back. Not just in this battle, but it will probably be quite complicated in the future, especially after Emperor Ku becomes the new Heavenly Emperor…"
