Peerless God Emperor

0As Duan Wutian's words fell, the entire audience was silenced. Countless pairs of eyes looked at him with a trace of fear.    

    

The Emperor, was he finally going to make a move on Sikong Xuan?    

    

Duan Wutian looked at Sikong Xuan with an ice-cold expression, and said coldly: "Since Young Master Sikong is so outstanding, I think there should be a better candidate for you, no?"    

    

Sikong Xuan and Ji Sai looked at each other, only to see him nodding his head slightly, and then smiling lightly: "Lord Emperor might not know, but I am already a candidate to be the next king of the Sun Moon Country, I believe the emperor will not be enemies with the Sun Moon Country, right?"    

    

As these words fell, everyone's heartbeat quickened. Their eyes trembled as they looked at the man standing in the middle of the hall. The shock in their hearts was indescribable.    

    

The young man who followed Sikong Xuan was actually the candidate to be the Sun Moon Nation's monarch. It was simply too unbelievable.    

    

Duan Wutian was also shocked in his heart, his eyes stared straight at Ji Sai's body, trying to see a trace of panic on his body, but he did not.    

    

Now the matter had become complicated. If Ji Sai really became the next king of the Sun Moon Country, he would definitely send troops into the sky to take revenge for today's disgrace.    

    

The disparity between Tian Yu and Sun Moon was enormous. If the two countries were to fight, Tian Yu would definitely be the one to lose.    

    

But in such a short period of time, Duan Wutian seemed to have aged a lot.    

    

"Lord Emperor, you should agree to this marriage. It'll be beneficial to Tian Yu and Sun and Moon in this way." Ji Sai laughed as he spoke, a crafty look flashing past his eyes.    

    

He had long wanted to find an ally among the eighteen nations. Although the Tianyu Country was weak, it was easier to control.    

    

Although Ji Sai's words looked peaceful, there was a deeper meaning hidden within them. He was forcing Duan Wutian to make a choice.    

    

If they did not marry, the sun and moon would send troops to Tianyu. If they married, both countries would benefit.    

    

Duan Wutian closed his eyes, as though he was extremely tired. He slowly said, "Seven days later, I will tell you the results."    

    

The corner of Sikong Xuan's mouth raised into a smile. He remained calm and collected as he said: "Alright, in seven days, this junior will await your decision."    

    

After he finished speaking, Sikong Xuan brought Ji Sai and the rest and left the great hall, leaving the ministers at a loss as they looked at each other, not knowing what to say.    

    

They were also aware of the powerful relationship between the two of them. However, they were not able to fight against the Sikong Family, so they did not dare to speak up.    

    

"All of you, leave as well." Duan Wutian waved his hand, his voice was extremely weak.    

    

Currently, in the empty great hall, only Duan Wutian was lying on top of the throne with his eyes closed.    

    

"Qing Mu, what do you think?" Duan Wutian closed his eyes, but his lips moved, and in the end, he spat out a sentence.    

    

The quiet space echoed with those words for a long time.    

    

"Looks like I'll have to borrow someone." After a few breaths, a slightly ancient voice finally sounded from the void.    

    

If the other ministers were to see this, they would probably be extremely shocked.    

    

There was actually a person hidden within the hall all along. This person had a steady aura, he had been hiding in mid air, hibernating the entire time, probably not even Sikong Xuan and the rest discovered him.    

    

Once any of the ministers dared to truly betray Duan Wutian, the person hiding in the darkness would definitely kill them on the spot.    

    

"Who is it?" Duan Wutian continued to ask.    

    

"Someone the Third Princess likes." The voice drifting out from the void seemed to be everywhere.    

    

Duan Wutian's heart shook, and he suddenly opened his eyes. There was a thick sense of shock mixed in his eyes: "When did she ever have someone she liked?"    

    

"Back then in the Sky Flame Fire Pool, he was the one who sent the Third Princess into the depths of the fire pond and successfully obtained the Skyheart Flaming Lotus. From what I can see, this child's talent is not weak, but his strength is far inferior to Sikong Xuan's." The voice sounded again, as if it was filled with regret.    

    

"Good talent?" A cold light flashed through Duan Wutian's eyes as he thought about something.    

    

"He is currently cultivating in the Cloud Sky Sect and may not be able to come out for a while." Seeing Duan Wutian being silent, the man in the sky added.    

    

"Is that so?" Duan Wutian squinted, his eyes revealing a wisdom and coldness that had been on the battlefield for a long time.    

    

Duan Wutian pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "You can go down, and also release the connection between Ruoxi and this child."    

    

"But is it too cruel to the princess? I'm afraid Sikong Xuan will kill him!" This was the first time the man refuted Duan Wutian's order, and he was unwilling to do so.    

    

A meaningful smile appeared on Duan Wutian's face as he said: "I have my own plans for this matter. If that brat is unable to stop Sikong Xuan, he's not worthy to be together with Ruoxi."    

    

The void was cold and desolate, and no sound could be heard anymore.    

    

That person knew very well that the person in the hall was the real king of the Tianyu Country, although he looked friendly and approachable, he was actually as ferocious as a tiger, and his methods far surpassed Sikong Xuan and the others.    

    

Once he decided on something, no one could change it.    

    

...    

    

In the depths of the imperial palace, there was a dark and gloomy hall. The hall was extremely empty and there was not a single person within it. Only an enormous Buddha statue stood in the middle of the hall, appearing somewhat abrupt.    

    

The Buddha statue was several tens of feet tall and looked solemn. With both hands clasped together, it was vividly carved. At a glance, it looked like a real Buddha. Its mighty eyes overlooked everything below, just like the eyes of a Buddha, penetrating through everything.    

    

However, what was surprising was that the Buddha statue was not a golden Buddha, but a black Buddha!    

    

The Buddha statue's entire body was black, as black as ink, as though it was the same when it was forged. Just a single glance from afar was enough to cause fear in the hearts of people.    

    

The silent hall was like a lake that didn't ripple at all. It was terrifyingly quiet, as if no one had stepped in for thousands of years.    

    

At some point, however, there was a creaking sound and the door to the hall was pushed open.    

    

"Bang, bang!" Footsteps echoed unceasingly within the empty hall, and a tall, muscular figure slowly walked in from outside.    

    

If Sikong Xuan and the rest were here, they would probably cast a cold gaze at him.    

    

This person was actually the Heavenly Feather Emperor, Duan Wutian!    

    

Duan Wutian walked in the pitch-black hall. Even though he couldn't see his five fingers in front of him, he seemed to be extremely familiar with everything here.    

    

This was because this hall was where he had once lived!    

0

    

Many years ago, at that time, the Sky Feather Emperor was not Duan Wutian but his uncle, Duan Tian Feng.    

    

At that time, Duan Tianfeng ruled over the Tianyu Country, and as expected of the emperor of a generation. His Peak of Yuanfu Stage cultivation could be said to be peerless within the world, and he protected the peace of the Tianyu Country for several hundred years.    

    

What was even more enviable was that his eldest son, Duan Chen, had outstanding talent and was the head of the Tianyu Ten Duke at that time.    

    

However, the Duan Wutian back then was only an extremely ordinary prince who had cultivated for twenty odd years and was only at the third or fourth level of the Natal Opening Realm.    

    

Originally, he thought that he would be stuck in a miserable state for the rest of his life. Who would have thought that one day, the Emperor would issue an order granting him the qualifications to cultivate in Tianwu Royal Palace.    

    

What Duan Tianfeng did not know was that this order had completely changed Duan Wutian's fate, and also changed Duan Chen's fate.    

    

It was unknown when Duan Wutian's talent began to advance by leaps and bounds, and he became stronger and stronger every day. He soon reached the Yuanfu Stage, and there was even a tendency for him to increase it.    

    

Three years later, Duan Wutian's strength had already reached the same level as Duan Chen's, which meant that his Seventh Level of Yuanfu Stage was at the same level as Duan Chen's.    

    

For a moment, Duan Wutian's sharp aura faintly overshadowed Duan Chen's. Everyone was shocked by Duan Wutian's cultivation speed, especially Duan Tianfeng, who praised him even more and gave him countless rewards.    

    

However, a day ten years later, a voice that caused everyone in Tianyu Country to tremble suddenly came out of the palace.    

    

Sky feather emperor Duan Tianfeng suddenly passed away, the First Prince Duan Chen went missing, the throne would be inherited by Sky Martial King.    

    

After that day, the emperor of the Tianyu Country was Duan Wutian, the Titled Tianwu Emperor.    

    

This incident had caused a huge commotion at that time, with countless people raising doubts. Everything happened too coincidentally, it seemed like someone was secretly controlling everything.    

    

Suddenly, one day, a palm appeared in the sky above Tianyu Country, covering the entire sky as if it was trying to cover the heavens!    

    

What shocked many more was that the huge palm that covered the sky was black, but it revealed a strong buddhist power, it had buddhist light circulating around it, and ancient characters of buddhist characters could faintly be seen, an incomparably terrifying suppressive force poured down from the sky, causing people to feel suffocated.    

    

Countless gazes of fear and terror were fixated on the gigantic palm hovering in the skies. Their hearts were pounding violently as they felt a chill run down their spines.    

    

Afterwards, a low voice sounded in the air: "Duan Chen has died, died under this palm."    

    

As soon as the voice finished, the buddhist palms in the air came crashing down, bringing with them a terrifying suppressive force as they slammed against the peak of a several hundred zhang tall mountain.    

    

With a loud rumbling sound, the crowd went over to take a look, only to see that the mountain had been razed to the ground and turned into ashes.    

    

From then on, no one in the Tianyu Country dared to bring up these past events. They treated this matter as taboo and untouchable.    

    

Duan Wutian also naturally sat firmly on the throne, the pressure covering the entire Tianyu Country, and no other sounds could be heard.    

    

At this time, Duan Wutian looked at the black Buddha statue in front of him and gently said: "Long time no see, it's been 40 years since we last met, right?"    

    

After a while, the dark Buddha statue began to shine with a faint light, as if something was about to be revived.    

    

"You're finally here. All these years, I've been starving. Have you gained anything from this trip?" The black Buddha statue seemed to have come to life as it emitted a human voice.    

    

Duan Wutian's expression changed slightly as a cold light shot out from his eyes. He said coldly: "Are two people not enough for you to last forty years?"    

    

"Hmph, it's only two Yuanfu Stage, how can it satisfy this emperor's appetite? I'll give you one year's time, you must get me another set of Peak of Yuanfu Stage, the best would not be over thirty years old, by then, I think I'll be out of seclusion soon, right?"    

    

The dark hall continued to reverberate with obscene evil cries, it was hard to imagine what evil things actually existed within the Buddha statue.
