"Why hasn't Brother Chen come back yet?"
Emperor Capital frowned, pacing anxiously on the city walls, thinking of the words Chen Xia had left for him before departing. He dared not wander off and could only ask the passing saints.
"Has Brother Chen returned?"
The saints all shook their heads in response, "We haven't seen Saint Chen, Emperor Capital, how about a game of chess instead?"
Get lost, who wants to play chess with you? You start by taking my horses and then surrender immediately. You can't beat me anyway, you're just after my horses! Emperor Capital waved his hand impatiently, as if shooing them away.
"Haha, that's just how Saint Chen likes it." The saints laughed, enjoying the sight of Emperor Capital's annoyed expression, creating a lively atmosphere around the city walls.
In the Emperor Council.
There were still seven great emperors on the left front line, excluding the recently expelled Flowing Water Temple Master, leaving six.
Emperor Tianhe sat on the left, frowning and asking,
"Are there really remnants of darkness in those shattered star domains?"
The elder at the head of the table slightly raised an eyebrow, his long white eyebrows trembling, and tapped his dragon-headed staff lightly on the ground as he spoke.
"I used my great divine power to investigate and indeed found traces, but I am also defending against the Heavenly Dao and am unable to split my attention. Hence, I had to send Chen Xia, who is among the strongest, to investigate first. If anything is amiss, you will all go together to surround and kill them."
"Good," Emperor Tianhe nodded, then turned to ask, "Why has the recruitment by Tian Sen the Great Emperor been so inefficient lately?"
"No one wants to come, that's why," Tian Sen the Great Emperor shrugged helplessly, adding,
"Only a few saints with courage and ambition come to the front line. The rest are old foxes who don't care about the demise of star domains and just want to hide and live a few more years. Unless we capture them one by one and set life-and-death seals on them, these saints are useless even if we force them here."
After speaking, two small flowers sprouted on his shoulders, and he began to play with them.
The elder's eyes flickered again, his long eyebrows twitching once more, and he nodded,
Then capture them all. Even executing them directly on the front line would be fine. It can at least slow down the speed of the Heavenly Dao's descent. The more they try to escape the Heavenly Dao's reckoning, the more I want them to die!
The elder's words were awe-inspiring and unmatched, and the eyes of his dragon-headed staff shone with profound light, his aura not inferior to that of a great emperor.
This was the strongest emperor stationed on the left front line, with a cultivation level of four great emperors. It was rumored that he had killed the most emperors in the entire Great Heaven, hence he was also known as the Executioner Emperor.
His emperor title was simply called the Executioner!
The emperors were in discussion when they suddenly turned their heads together, sensing a powerful pressure from a distance, an emperor's aura!
"Chen Xia!" Emperor Tianhe instantly reacted, disappearing from his spot and rushing towards the source of the pressure.
The other emperors followed suit, leaving only the Executioner Emperor to guard the front line.
On the city walls, Emperor Capital excitedly stood up, kicking over the chessboard that the saints were playing with, and flew towards the source of the pressure without hesitation, shouting,
"Brother Chen, wait for me!"
The two saints beside him looked at the overturned chessboard and scattered pieces, completely confused.
Why did you kick our chessboard when you left?
In the void.
Emperor Tianhe was the first to arrive, blocking the emperor's aura and residual sword light that swept towards him, then frowned at the sight before him.
There were no shattered star domains here, but there were some remaining starlight and faint star domain auras, as if they had existed not long ago.
Looking further ahead, there was a storm of emperor's aura and sword light mixed together, making it difficult to see the scene inside.
Emperor Tianhe paused for a moment, and then Tian Sen the Great Emperor and several others arrived, asking curiously,
"Just got here, what's the situation?"
"A very intense battle?" Emperor Tianhe replied.
"I can see that for myself, do I need you to tell me?" The elder with eyebrows like a galaxy frowned.
Tian Sen the Great Emperor touched the flowers on his shoulder and suggested, "Why don't we go in and take a look?"
"Let's go!" Emperor Tianhe nodded directly.
They were indeed not afraid of these, walking straight into the storm of emperor's aura and sword light, suppressing these forces as they went.
Not far ahead, they could see a faint figure standing quietly.
"Chen Xia?" Emperor Tianhe asked doubtfully.
"He's holding a sword, so it probably is." Tian Sen the Great Emperor agreed.
"Not necessarily, maybe his flying sword was taken away. After all, no one can predict the outcome of this ambush." The elder replied.
Tian Sen and Tianhe, the two great emperors, turned their heads together, frowning at the elder,
"If you can't say anything good, then don't say anything."
The few emperors fell silent and moved towards the center, getting closer to the figure.
Blood.
They sensed a strong blood pulse, a sign that an emperor had fallen, indicating that an emperor had perished here not long ago.
They became more vigilant, moving forward and waving away the surrounding sword lights, getting closer to the figure holding the sword in the center.
Their figures suddenly paused when they saw a head, a head entangled with dark energy, its neck bleeding, its eyes unclosed, an emperor's head.
This head was held by a hand, and looking up, they saw Chen Xia's calm face.
"Are you on a group outing?"
Chen Xia casually asked, shaking his right hand and flicking his sword, scattering the emperor's blood, which then returned to his Heart Lake, leading three million flying swords.
"Have you already slain the emperor?" Emperor Tianhe frowned.
"What kind of speed is this, it feels like you've become even stronger?" Tian Sen the Great Emperor also expressed his confusion.
"Huh, I recognize this emperor you're holding, a pure dog of the Heavenly Dao, well done for killing him!" The elder exclaimed.
"Briefly explain the situation." Emperor Tianhe said again.
"Nothing much to say, two emperor remnants set up an ambush to kill me, and I killed one of them." Chen Xia casually said, shaking off the emperor's blood from his hand, and added with some regret,
"Actually, I could have killed both, but I didn't take them seriously at first, and they reacted and fled separately. There's a saying, 'the slowest one is the vanguard,' so I caught and killed the slow one."
He spoke very casually, as if he had just cleared a small group of monsters in the wild.
"Hmm?" Emperor Tianhe suddenly frowned, curious again,
"There should be a remnant star domain here, why is it also gone?"
"It was completely obliterated in my battle with the emperor."
Chen Xia turned around, casually replying.
His words were very light.
Light enough to make it hard to discern the truth.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too.

[Dao Companion Rental System]. By renting himself out as a temporary dao companion to daughters of destiny, Qin Hao could obtain generous rewards. His service philosophy was simple: play the role of the devoted lover, resolve their troubles, depart without a trace once the matter was settled, and absolutely avoid entangling karma. However, those daughters of destiny didn't see it that way. That night, all the major powers across the Three Realms and Nine Heavens jointly besieged the Qin Clan, plunging it into an unprecedented crisis. "It's Su Qingyue! The peerless sword immortal who attained the Dao and became an Immortal Emperor in a thousand years, the one who severed the River of Time with a single sword strike! When... when did our Qin Clan make an enemy of her?" Qin Hao stepped forward, clearing his throat lightly: "Ahem, Ancestors, don't panic. She's here for me. To be honest... she's my ex-girlfriend." From another direction, the newly ascended Empress of the Demon Realm arrived with ten thousand demons pressing on the border: "Qin Hao! Today, the entire Qin Clan shall be buried with you!" Hearing this, the Qin Clan ancestors all turned their eyes sharply towards Qin Hao. Qin Hao scratched his head somewhat sheepishly: "The Demon Empress... she's also my ex-girlfriend." Before the Qin ancestors could process this, an aloof figure traversed the River of Time: "The Qin Clan deserves annihilation!" Recognizing the newcomer, the Qin ancestors paled in terror: "It's her! Liu Ruyan, the Extinction Empress who ventured alone into the alien realm and suppressed it for an entire epoch! Didn't she vanish into the River of Time long ago? Why would she cross it just to target our clan?" Qin Hao scratched his head again, looking even more embarrassed: "My fault, my fault. She's an ex-girlfriend too." Watching countless celestial maidens descend, the Qin Clan ancestors were utterly astounded: "You scoundrel! Just... just how many women have you gotten involved with over the years?"
