Chapter 441: Your Emperor Has Returned!
As soon as Fu Dayong finished speaking, a dazzling curtain of light quickly rose around Chaoyue City, rapidly closing in on itself.
In a matter of moments, the entire city was enveloped by the formation, trapping Lin Fengmian inside.
At the same time, the Moon Shadow Dragon Qi churned within the Sea of Fortune, spitting out streams of energy to maintain the formations protecting the Imperial Palace and the Capital City.
Fu Dayong sternly shouted, “Begin the blood sacrifice immediately! Summon the Supreme Sovereign!”
Inside the Imperial Palace, the living sacrifices that had been prepared long ago were brought to the square in front of the Great Hall by the imperial guards.
Hundreds of imperial guards began chanting ancient incantations, and the circular relief in the center of the square emitted a faint, eerie glow.
This place was indeed a Summoning Altar!
In this direct imperial dynasty of the Heavenly Fiend Sovereign, a blood sacrifice would allow the Heavenly Fiend Sovereign to descend in his true form within just two ke (approximately 30 minutes).
This summoning altar was the Moon Shadow Blade Emperor’s greatest confidence.
With the Imperial Palace’s formations and the Moon Shadow Dragon Qi in place, it would take Lin Fengmian at least half an hour to breach the Imperial Palace.
Yet, the Heavenly Fiend Sovereign could descend through the blood sacrifice in just two ke!
Even if Lin Fengmian saw the altar and decided to flee immediately, it would still take him at least one ke to break through the city’s formation.
By then, the Heavenly Fiend Sovereign would have descended, and Lin Fengmian would have no chance of escape!
This was the death trap that he had set for Lin Fengmian. As long as Lin Fengmian appeared in Chaoyue City, he was doomed!
The Heavenly Fiend Sovereign would capture Lin Fengmian, while the Moon Shadow Blade Emperor would capture Jun Yunshang.
Neither of them would escape!
At Fu Dayong’s command, the imperial guards swung their blades, and the heads of the victims rolled to the ground.
Hundreds of corpses collapsed onto the square, their blood flowing into the grooves of the altar, emitting a blinding crimson light.
A whisper filled the air as a pillar of blood shot into the sky, standing out starkly against the dark night.
The clouds above began to swirl around the blood pillar, and soon a pressure similar to heavenly power descended.
The Heavenly Fiend Sovereign had responded and was descending in his true form!
Meanwhile, in the western desert, countless spells collided, creating a dazzling display of light and thunderous roars.
High in the sky, as the Moon Shadow Blade Emperor clashed with Jun Aoshi, a jade pendant at his waist suddenly shattered.
With a flick of his twin Blades, he effortlessly deflected Jun Aoshi’s attack and let out a hearty laugh.
“Jun Aoshi, did you really think that I didn’t know what you were planning?”
“That boy is in Chaoyue City now, right? But my imperial palace has a summoning altar!”
“I’ve already left enough essence blood and sacrifices. Once the Supreme Sovereign descends, that kid is dead!”
Jun Aoshi, who was in the middle of swinging his sword, couldn’t help but show a hint of panic, leaving an opening.
Moon Shadow Blade Emperor seized the opportunity and slashed out with his sword, sending Jun Aoshi flying. He then sneered coldly.
“Jun Aoshi, you may have some skill, but to think that you can stop me alone is pure arrogance!”
The flying Jun Aoshi spat out a mouthful of blood, but he couldn’t help but laugh.
“If the crippled Jun Aoshi can’t match you, then let me summon the Aoshi Sword Sovereign of the past!”
Moon Shadow Sword Emperor frowned, “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Jun Aoshi looked back at the red figure standing on the city wall with a complicated expression. With both hands, he gripped his sword and slowly raised it high.
Pale flames erupted, and a dominating sword intent that seemed capable of slicing through the world surged into the sky.
His eyes flashed with cold light as he brought the sword down, shouting, “Aoshi, pierce the heavens!”
A towering sword light descended, surrounded by swirling flames and sword energy, forcing the Moon Shadow Blade Emperor to face it head-on.
Moon Shadow Blade Emperor’s expression became solemn. He quickly merged his twin Blades into one and swung it upward in a fierce arc.
“Moon Shattering Slash!”
A powerful surge of spiritual energy erupted, instantly scattering the clouds in the sky. Bright moonlight shone down, illuminating the battlefield.
The Moon Shadow Blade Emperor was sent flying backward, bathed in a pure, radiant moonlight that enveloped his entire body.
“So this is the legendary ‘Aoshi, pierce the heavens’ sword technique? Truly extraordinary!”
Jun Aoshi didn’t answer. With a furious roar, he tightly gripped his sword and fearlessly charged forward.
With each swing of his sword, his sword intent grew sharper, as if a rusted blade was being polished back to its former glory.
In fact, that was exactly what was happening. Every strike Jun Aoshi made forced him to confront his blood-soaked past.
This sword technique had been tailor-made for him by Jun Lingtian, but he had never used it again after their relationship soured.
He had once believed that he could forge a new path in the way of the sword.
But he soon realized that without Jun Lingtian’s techniques and experience, he was nothing!
Proud and arrogant, he couldn’t accept this truth and chose to run away, unwilling to face his past.
In the end, he had succumbed to his darker impulses, distorting his memories and deceiving himself.
Now, for Jun Yunshang’s sake, he was once again wielding the “Aoshi, Pierce the Heavens” sword technique, confronting the brutal yet honest truth of his past.
As he recalled Jun Lingtian’s words, he couldn’t help but laugh, tears streaming down his face.
“If youth is not wild, then it is wasted.”
My elder brother never blamed me. It was I who was trapped in the past, unable to move forward!
Now, after wasting half my life and making irreversible mistakes, I finally remember the ambitious young man I once was.
But it’s too late!
Chaoyue City
Lin Fengmian stood in mid-air, staring blankly at the towering pillar of blood, seemingly frozen in shock.
Fu Dayong couldn’t help but laugh. “Kid, scared to death, huh? You can still run away if you want to!”
Lin Fengmian snapped out of his daze and chuckled. “Run? Why should I run?”
A feeling of uneasiness crept into Fu Dayong’s heart. He barked, “Kid, I advise you to surrender quietly. Don’t resist senselessly!”
The corners of Lin Fengmian’s lips curled into a sinister smile, his eyes filled with mockery.
“Useless resistance? It’s you who is resisting uselessly!”
He slowly raised his hand toward the Moon Shadow Dragon Qi, his eyes flashing with cold light. “Come!”
Emperor’s Power!
The Moon Shadow Dragon Qi, which had been churning and roaring in the Sea of Fortune, suddenly raised its head and locked its blood-red eyes on Lin Fengmian.
With a deafening roar, it soared out of the clouds and obediently landed at his feet.
Standing on the massive Dragon Qi, Lin Fengmian smiled at the people in the Imperial Palace.
“Moon Shadow Dynasty, your emperor has returned!”
The control of Junyan’s Dragon Qi was a matter of utmost secrecy, and those who knew about it were forced to swear oaths of silence.
The Heavenly Fiend Sovereign didn’t even dare let anyone know that he had fought Lin Fengmian, let alone that his Heavenly Opening Axe had been stolen by him.
Thus, the miraculous nature of Lin Fengmian’s Emperor’s Power ability remained a closely guarded secret.
Even if it were to be revealed, Lin Fengmian wasn’t afraid.
If Moon Shadow Blade Emperor dared to leave Chaoyue City, Lin Fengmian would still dare to come!
After all, the Holy Dragon Qi was never his enemy – it was his ally.
What Lin Fengmian truly feared was not the Moon Shadow Blade Emperor in the Imperial Palace, but the Heavenly Fiend Sovereign!
Inside the Imperial Palace
Fu Dayong and the others, unaware of all this, began to question their sanity.
Had the world gone mad?
Why did their dragon spirit, like a loyal dog, wag its tail and leap to his command with just a wave of his hand?
Was it possible that not only their emperor, but even their dragon spirit was a spy for Junyan?
At this moment, Fu Dayong and the others began to suspect everyone, even themselves, of being traitors.
