Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Apart from the heart-wrenching cries of the Da Zhen delegation, there was no other sound on the scene.

The Da Zhen Crown Prince, the most outstanding prodigy of the Da Zhen Dynasty, was gone, his death tragic, his form and spirit utterly destroyed.

The visual impact of this scene was intense, and the psychological impact was equally strong.

For everyone present, the Da Zhen Crown Prince's status was extraordinary; even the Liang Emperor would not easily consider killing him.

However, Young Master Yuan Chu did not hesitate and killed him without a second thought.

This was destined to offend the entire Da Zhen Dynasty; the Da Zhen Imperial Family probably wished they could devour his flesh and drink his blood.

Even though Young Master Yuan Chu had the identity of a direct disciple of the top-tier Daoist sect, Jinyun Immortal Sect, Da Zhen would not dare to do anything openly.

But with such a blood feud, would the Da Zhen Emperor let it go?

It was likely they would retaliate in secret.

At this moment, the Da Yan Crown Prince and the Bei Mang Crown Prince, who had not yet taken the stage, were ice-cold all over and couldn't help but shudder.

Looking at the fragmented flesh and blood in the duel arena, and the severed head, they felt cold wind seeping into their bones.

"First match, Young Master Yuan Chu wins!"

The Grand Chancellor of Da Liang forcibly steadied his mind and announced loudly, then continued, "Young Master Yuan Chu, do you want to continue with the second match? If you are not prepared to continue, please leave the arena for now."

"I said, I will fight three matches alone."

Jun Wuxie's response was affirmative, his gaze overlooking the Da Yan and Bei Mang delegations, "It's your turn. Who's coming for the second match?"

The Da Yan Crown Prince and the Bei Mang Crown Prince, upon meeting his gaze, involuntarily looked away, avoiding eye contact.

They had already considered retreating.

They never expected that someone who had joined the Jinyun Immortal Sect for less than two years would possess such terrifying strength!

"Hold on, this envoy has something to say!"

The Da Yan envoy's face was full of indignation, "We agreed beforehand that the use of martial arts treasures was forbidden!

But Yuan Chu, in your first match against the Da Zhen Crown Prince, you clearly used a martial arts treasure in secret. You violated the rules!"

Jun Wuxie coldly looked at the Da Yan envoy, facing his accusations, he remained silent, his face indifferent.

"Oh?"

The Liang Emperor spoke, "Da Yan envoy, you say that Young Master Yuan Chu violated the rules by using a martial arts treasure, do you have evidence?"

"Of course!"

The Da Yan envoy bowed to the Liang Emperor, "Your Majesty, Liang Emperor, everyone present has some cultivation. We are all cultivators, can't everyone see the problem?

When Yuan Chu fought the Da Zhen Crown Prince, the crimson immortal light on his arms and fists was evidence of the use of a martial arts treasure!

Think about it, what color was the immortal energy on Yuan Chu's body when he wasn't attacking? It was a translucent, opalescent white!

This shows that the true color and attribute of his cultivated immortal energy is this color!

However, when Yuan Chu attacked, a dazzling crimson appeared. If he wasn't secretly using a martial arts treasure, what else could explain this phenomenon?"

"Da Yan envoy, you are saying that my fiancé used a martial arts treasure based solely on the color of the light emitted when he used his immortal techniques. Isn't that ridiculous!

Is that what you call evidence?

There are countless immortal techniques in the world, especially the immortal techniques of top-tier Daoist sects, which are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

My fiancé, as a direct disciple of the top-tier Daoist sect, Jinyun Immortal Sect, it is not surprising that he cultivates a relatively special immortal technique.

Who told you that the color of the immortal energy you cultivate cannot change to other colors when you use certain immortal techniques?"

"Anping Princess, you are being unreasonable!

Can you do it yourself? Can anyone present do it?"

"You are the one being unreasonable, trying to impose a non-existent crime on my fiancé. It's truly laughable!

Do you think Da Liang is ruled by you, the Da Yan envoy?

No one can do it?

My fiancé can do it!

Just because you can't do it, and everyone can't do it, doesn't mean he can't do it, and doesn't mean that no one else in this world can do it!

In the end, it's still because you have shallow knowledge, a frog in a well, presuming to discuss immortal techniques!

How many immortal techniques do you understand?"

"Princess! This envoy said, Yuan Chu can do it because he used a martial arts treasure!"

"Enough!"

The Liang Emperor spoke, he looked at the Da Yan envoy, "Based solely on the color of the immortal light, it is indeed not enough to prove that Young Master Yuan Chu violated the rules by using a martial arts treasure.

Da Yan envoy, do you have any other evidence!

If not, then don't be unreasonable here.

You are also a Da Zhen official, you should know that everything should not be said lightly. To accuse someone, you need concrete evidence, not just use your mouth to convict him!"

"Liang Emperor, you are protecting Yuan Chu!"

The Da Zhen envoy said with red eyes, the Crown Prince was dead, he had already foreseen his fate.

Even if he wasn't beheaded by the Emperor after returning, he would definitely not have a good life. This life was over.

"Now you even want to slander Us?"

The Liang Emperor's expression was slightly cold, "Da Zhen envoy, We understand that you are saddened by the death of the Da Zhen Crown Prince and cannot control your emotions, so We will not hold it against you.

Whether Young Master Yuan Chu used a martial arts treasure or not, without solid evidence, saying more is useless!

Furthermore, if you firmly believe that Young Master Yuan Chu used a martial arts treasure, then you should also know the conditions for using martial arts treasures.

For an immortal artifact treasure to exert power far beyond the user's ability, it will pay a huge price and consume a massive amount of essence, energy, and spirit.

Young Master Yuan Chu has already fought one match, even if he has a treasure, you shouldn't be worried.

The second match should begin. Da Yan, Bei Mang, don't dwell on things that have no result, it will only waste time."

The three envoys of Da Zhen, Da Yan, and Bei Mang were silent.

They also calmed down. Just as the Liang Emperor said, without conclusive evidence, relying solely on speculation and suspicion, it was impossible to prove it.

After all, Yuan Chu was a direct disciple of Jinyun, would anyone dare to go up and forcibly search him?

This matter was destined to be a fruitless entanglement, and continuing would indeed be a waste of time.

However, the Liang Emperor's words reminded them.

Even if Yuan Chu had a martial arts treasure hidden in his body, and had already activated it once, he would inevitably pay a price for it.

Could he still activate the same power as in the first match in the second match?

Thinking of this, the Da Yan envoy looked at the Bei Mang envoy.

"What are you looking at me for? The second match should be Da Yan's turn!

Our Bei Mang came this time to support you and put pressure on the Liang Emperor."

The Bei Mang envoy secretly transmitted his voice.

Although Yuan Chu's martial arts treasure might not be able to exert the same power as in the first match, the risk still existed.

Only the third match might be more stable, so of course the Bei Mang envoy didn't want his side's prodigy king to go up for the second match.

"What do you mean by supporting us and putting pressure on the Liang Emperor!

Isn't your Bei Mang also planning to divide the territory of Da Liang in the future, don't you have a firm will to kill Yuan Chu?

Now you don't want to take the risk, and you want our Da Yan to rush ahead of you?"

The Da Yan envoy was not stupid, how could he not know what the Bei Mang envoy was thinking.

"Da Yan delegation, Bei Mang delegation, why are you silent?"

The Liang Emperor was still unwilling to give up.

He knew that the people of the Da Yan and Bei Mang delegations were already afraid.

But he didn't want them to back down like this.

Even if Yuan Chu really had a martial arts treasure in his body, how much power could he exert in the second and third matches was still unknown.

How would they know if they didn't try?

Perhaps the prodigy king of Da Yan or Bei Mang could kill Yuan Chu in the next two matches?

Although he already had a backup plan in mind, the chances of success were not high, it was just a last resort.

Moreover, that plan required persuading someone.

Whether that person would agree was still a problem, and perhaps he would have to ask his father to reason with him before there was a chance of success.

"Da Yan, Bei Mang, how long are you going to wait?

The rules of the martial arts duel have all been agreed upon, you must fight all three matches, you cannot admit defeat, you cannot abstain!

If you want to go back on your word, I might have to do something to you in the capacity of a direct disciple of the Jinyun Immortal Sect."

"My lord, I'll go!"

From the Bei Mang delegation, a prodigy king stood up, "That Yuan Chu is too arrogant, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated!

The dignity of our Bei Mang's younger generation cannot be lost, even if I die in the duel arena today, I will never accept this humiliation!

He has already stepped on our faces, you can endure it, but I cannot!"

As the prodigy king spoke, he walked towards the duel arena.

The Bei Mang envoy's lips trembled, he wanted to say something but stopped.

"What, aren't the Bei Mang Crown Prince and the Da Yan Crown Prince going to take the stage?

Didn't you say that you are the number one prodigy kings of your respective dynasties?

As members of the imperial family, representing the dignity of the dynasty, I never expected that you two would be so timid and afraid of death.

Today, your cowardice will surely shame your imperial family and dynasty, and be criticized and ridiculed by the world, becoming the talk of the town."

Jun Wuxie's words were very sharp, like sharp blades piercing into the hearts of the Da Yan and Bei Mang Crown Princes, causing them to clench their fists, their eyes spitting fire, and their angry blood surging.

"Still don't dare to go up, you don't even dare to speak.

Da Yan Crown Prince, Bei Mang Crown Prince, today the people of Da Liang have truly opened their eyes."

"Hahaha, what kind of imperial family can give birth to such cowards?"

The crowd outside the arena burst into laughter.

"Tsk tsk, no wonder they have joined forces to attack my Da Liang for many years, but they haven't even captured a city on the border.

Look at the virtue of the imperial family, cowardly, incompetent, and timid, what are such opponents in front of our Da Liang?"

"What are they? They are nothing, hahaha!"

"I'm going to die laughing, two cowards!"

… …

The crowd mocked loudly, their words piercing, stabbing at the hearts of the Great Yan Crown Prince and the Northern Mang Crown Prince.

"Shut up!"

The Northern Mang Crown Prince roared, his voice a tidal wave of sound, a thunderclap that shook the void.

"What do I have to fear? A disciple of Jinyun is all you are. I am at the Creation Realm! Do you think I fear you?

Even if you possess a Martial Dao Treasure within you, today I, the Crown Prince, will cut you down in this duel!"

The Northern Mang Crown Prince was consumed by rage, the intense humiliation overriding all other considerations.

It wasn't mere impulsiveness; his identity represented the imperial family, the entirety of Northern Mang.

The insults had already reached such a fever pitch.

If he were to back down now, the Northern Mang imperial family and dynasty would truly become a laughingstock!

"It seems the Northern Mang Crown Prince still possesses some semblance of courage, far surpassing the Great Yan Crown Prince."

"Yuan Chu, cease your insults against me!"

"Do you dare to step up? If you dare, I'll give you the chance, no need to wait for the third match.

In this second match, I grant you special permission to join the Northern Mang Crown Prince!"

"Is that true?"

The Great Yan Crown Prince's pupils constricted, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. What was Yuan Chu thinking, daring to act in such a way?

"Your Highness, you mustn't!"

Just as the Great Yan Crown Prince was about to respond, the voice of the Great Yan envoy echoed in his mind, "This man may appear arrogant, but he is cunning at heart.

Today, every event seems to be unfolding according to his desires.

Do not be deceived by his arrogance and bluster!

His offer for Your Highness and the Northern Mang Crown Prince to fight together suggests that his Martial Dao Treasure is difficult to activate a third time, and even if forced, its power would be greatly diminished.

Therefore, he seeks to provoke you both into attacking him together, to eliminate you both in this second duel!

Do not fall for his trick, do not fall into his trap!

Your Highness should patiently await the third duel, where you can publicly slay him!

In doing so, Your Highness's fame will reach new heights.

Whether it be Yuan Chu or the crown princes of the other two dynasties, they will all become stepping stones on Your Highness's path to the peak!"

"Hmm, well said. I, too, find his actions strange and suspect ulterior motives."

The Great Yan Crown Prince nodded, then looked towards the dueling arena and said coldly, "Why would I need two to deal with you, Yuan Chu!

I never take advantage. Let the Northern Mang Crown Prince duel you in the second match.

After your duel, I will challenge you one-on-one and surely suppress you!"

The Great Yan Crown Prince stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking arrogantly at the dueling arena, radiating confidence.

The more he thought about it, the more he believed Yuan Chu was bluffing, hoping to use the Martial Dao Treasure in the second match to eliminate both himself and the Northern Mang Crown Prince.

Why was Yuan Chu in such a hurry? Because his Martial Dao Treasure was difficult to activate a third time, his body unable to withstand it!

He had seen through Yuan Chu's intentions.

Without the Martial Dao Treasure, what could Yuan Chu use to fight him in the third duel?

Even a sixteenth-grade talent wouldn't be enough!

"Your Highness!"

The Northern Mang envoy tried to stop the Northern Mang Crown Prince, but felt a sense of helplessness.

It was too late to stop him now.

He knew that the Crown Prince had been pushed to the edge, with no way to back down.

But this was a perilous undertaking, with extreme risk.

Even if Yuan Chu's Martial Dao Treasure was not as powerful as last time, he would still be difficult to deal with.

The Northern Mang envoy was incredibly nervous and uneasy, his hands clenched tightly, his eyes fixed on the dueling arena.

The entire arena fell silent, everyone holding their breath.

"Princess, do you think Young Master Yuan Chu really killed the Great Zhen Crown Prince using a Martial Dao Treasure?"

Qin Yu stood next to Qin Keqing, looking worried.

Even she had come to believe it.

The difference in their realms was too great. If he hadn't used the power of a Martial Dao Treasure, how could he have killed a King among geniuses at the Creation Realm with a single punch?

"Qin Yu, you don't need to know if he used a Martial Dao Treasure. You only need to believe that he will be victorious!"

Qin Keqing didn't want to say much to Qin Yu. Some things she couldn't let Qin Yu know.

Of course, she herself believed that Lord Divine had not used any Martial Dao Treasure.

The crimson light when Lord Divine used his Immortal Arts was likely deliberate.

The purpose was to make people think that he had used a Martial Dao Treasure to kill a King among geniuses whose realm was much higher than his own.

He didn't want to be too shocking, so that interested people would connect him to that legend.

After all, he was now using the identity of Yuan Chu, not the Divine Monarch of the Three Realms!
