Chapter 447, Imperial Secrets
"Yes, my Lord Emperor of Destruction!"
Flame King and Divine Fire King did not dare to be negligent. They clasped their hands in respect and said solemnly.
Whoosh!
Thud!
Without seeing any movement from the Emperor of Destruction, the space seemed to be torn by an invisible giant hand. In a flash of a phantom, the Emperor of Destruction had already disappeared in front of the two.
After a long time, Flame King's face reddened slightly, and he sighed, "If only the Profound Rain King were still alive, perhaps the Human Race could have produced another top King."
Hearing this, Divine Fire King said coldly, "Flame, don't blame me for not reminding you. If the Emperor of Destruction learns you're discussing the Profound Rain King behind his back, you won't escape death even if you cultivate your Undying Body to the Second Layer."
Flame King sighed slightly and fell silent. The Emperor of Destruction was once just a scholar rushing to the capital for exams. In a small temple avoiding the rain, he met the Profound Rain King. Impressed by his unusual bone structure, the Profound Rain King led him into the Cultivation Gate. Back then, the Profound Rain King, though not a King of Life and Death Realm, was a renowned prodigy on the continent.
Spending their days together, they became both teacher and friend, and deep emotions took root. However, during an invasion by demonic beings from the Restricted Area, the Profound Rain King perished in battle. At that time, the Emperor of Destruction had just broken through to the Life and Death Realm. Though possessing top-tier battle strength, he was powerless against the entire demonic force.
When the Emperor of Destruction was titled as Emperor, he thrice assaulted the Restricted Area, exterminating countless top-tier demons.
The most feared person in the Restricted Area is the Emperor of Destruction!
The person who hates the demonic beings of the Restricted Area the most, is the Emperor of Destruction!
Even though over ten years have passed, no one in the entire Human Race dares to mention the Profound Rain King in front of the Emperor of Destruction.
Flame King and Divine Fire King descended. The territory of the Fire Domain was vast, and even at their speed, it would take an hour to travel from one side to the other.
Fortunately, many experts of the Realm of Transcendence had already arrived, and with the space projection of the Emperor of Destruction here, the demons could not make much of a splash in terms of top-tier battle strength.
...
Central Divine Domain.
In a pavilion floating in the air, surrounded by birdsong and fragrant flowers, clouds swirling around, unknown leaves fluttering in the air.
Spiritual power like rain, making it look like a mortal's paradise.
A burly figure sat on top of the pavilion, a young man with a pale face, eyes like a hawk, and thin lips. He sat here, without a trace of aura, like an ordinary person.
"Emperor of Creation, the Chaos Blood Gate has appeared in the Fire Domain, and a large number of demons have started to rampage through the Fire Domain!"
Space rippled, and a white-clad figure walked out, with kind brows and white hair. The most peculiar feature was a black mole the size of a mung bean on the corner of his mouth.
"The Emperor of Destruction has already gone there; they can't make much of a disturbance!"
The burly young man sitting there was another legendary figure of the continent, the Emperor of Creation.
The Emperor of Creation had no talent for cultivation since childhood, but he never gave up. He once apprenticed to numerous sects but was eventually expelled from all.
By chance, the Emperor of Creation fell into a cave and discovered a special secret technique that could devour others' physiques and make them his own. On the Celestial Martial Continent, where the strong prey on the weak, the Emperor of Creation devoured many special physiques with this technique, ultimately achieving his title.
Of course, in this process, he made many powerful enemies, even among other titled emperors. He had no shortage of adversaries.
But the Emperor of Creation was too strong. Once, both the Death Emperor and the Emperor Ming attacked him, and they almost got slain by him.
Sighing, the white-haired elder said, "The actions in the Restricted Area are becoming frequent. The former peace is about to be broken. Our kings of the Human Race should unite, or we won't be able to resist the demonic beings of the Restricted Area."
He shook his head. The Celestial Martial Continent seemed like a closed continent, blocked by the demons outside for hundreds of thousands of years. Despite not being weaker in top-tier battle strength than the Celestial Martial Continent, the demons even had a Demon Emperor, who, though severely injured by the Ancient Sword Emperor's Human Dao Sword in the Ancient Era and fell into a deep sleep, could wake at any moment.
"If you mean to talk about me and Emperor Ming, I advise you to persuade him more. He killed my wife and children, and I only killed his disciple. Next time he provokes me, he won't be so lucky."
The Emperor of Creation stood up, like an ordinary person, and dusted his clothes. He spoke lightly, and a faint golden whirlpool flashed across his chest.
But all this made the white-haired elder's pupils shrink.
The Emperor of Creation possessed multiple physiques, but the most well-known among them was the Great Brightness Body.
Emperor Ming also had the Great Brightness Body. Emperor Ming was old, nearing his end. After bitterly searching for a hundred years, he finally found a disciple with the same physique. But before the disciple could fully grow, he encountered the Emperor of Creation and was devoured, turning into a cripple.
The enmity between the Emperor of Creation and Emperor Ming was no secret for over ten years. The Emperor of Creation had apprenticed to Emperor Ming but was later expelled for lack of talent.
From his vision, it was clear that the Emperor of Creation's Great Brightness Body had reached Great Success and was on the verge of Perfection. Ordinarily, it would take several years to achieve this, but by devouring Emperor Ming, the body could reach Perfection instantly.
The Emperor of Creation had the strength!
The titled emperors on the Celestial Martial Continent were also classified into levels. The strongest were undoubtedly the Emperor of Creation and the Emperor of Destruction. There were also some hidden experts on par with these two. Anyone stronger, in the elder's opinion, was impossible. The combat strength of the Emperor of Creation and the Emperor of Destruction had already surpassed the titled emperors of the Ancient Era, matching the Ancient Sword Emperor.
Next were the Death Emperor, Emperor Ming, Night Emperor, and Sword Emperor, whose strength was about the same as top-tier Demon Kings, not much difference in power.
Finally came the ordinary titled emperors, whose combat strength was significantly higher than the top kings. If placed in the Ancient Era, they wouldn't have qualified for the title, but as the spiritual power of the Celestial Martial Continent diminished, the threshold for titled emperors had lowered.
Like the Blood Moon Emperor, Hundred Flow Emperor, and Ghost Pattern Emperor, they belonged to this level of titled emperors.
"Sigh, this time I came to talk about the Life and Death Tower."
The white-haired elder sighed bitterly, speaking lightly.
"What?! Those old guys finally want to reopen the Life and Death Tower?"
The Emperor of Creation sneered.
"Yes, this time they asked me to invite you to the Life and Death Palace to discuss the details of opening the Life and Death Tower."
The white-haired elder responded calmly.
Opening the Life and Death Tower was a grand event for the entire continent, and all the Kings of the Life and Death Realm held honorary positions in the Life and Death Palace, including the Emperor of Creation and the Emperor of Destruction.
