Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

The thought process, logic, and offensive/defensive strategies of the three Eternal Giants of the Atu Empire were not wrong; theoretically, they were correct.

They aimed to launch an attack while constructing a defense, to erode some of the destructive power of the opponent's sword wave.

This way, they could reduce the power, lessen the defensive pressure on their defensive secret techniques, and thus achieve the goal of withstanding the attack.

However, reality is often cruel.

Their attacks crumbled the instant they touched the sword wave, like tofu hitting steel.

In the next moment, the sword wave swept in, crashing against their constructed defensive secret techniques.

It was a scene of utter destruction, an unstoppable force; nothing could withstand it!

The defensive secret techniques of the three Eternal Giants collapsed on the spot, dissipating into nothingness.

Poof!

The sound of blood spraying clearly entered everyone's ears.

Both the sound and the scene unfolding before them deeply shocked everyone in the Atu Empire who witnessed it.

Their ancestors, Eternal Saint Realm Giants, whose attainments in the Forbidden God Domain had reached the mid-stage of the Ten Directions Mythical Realm!

Such powerful ancestors, joining forces, were actually beheaded by the sword energy, seemingly a casual flick from that youth from beyond the realm!

Their faces turned ashen, their bodies trembled uncontrollably, and their legs went weak, making it difficult to stand.

"Ancestors!"

Those military powerhouses who had rushed over, shocked by the scene, finally reacted.

They shouted and rushed towards the three heads, trying to protect them.

"Heads whose primordial spirits have already been severed, what's the use of fighting over them?"

Jun Wuxie's voice was cold and merciless.

As he spoke, he slapped out with his palm.

The enormous chaotic golden blood energy palm covered the sky, blotting out the sun, enveloping those military powerhouses who were startled and retreated violently, preventing them from escaping.

Amidst the rumbling sound, mixed with the shrill screams of a dozen military powerhouses.

The chaotic golden palm fell, causing the entire ground to sink downwards, leaving a deep handprint pit.

When the hand formed from chaotic golden blood energy disappeared, a few patches of blood in the center of the handprint pit were shockingly conspicuous.

The corpses of those military powerhouses could no longer be seen, only a few bloody traces remained.

They had been directly crushed into bloody mush, mixed with the soil.

Jun Wuxie activated his Life Star Devouring Power, absorbing the scattered energy of those powerhouses who had been suppressed and killed into his Blessed Land.

Afterward, he casually took the bodies of the three Eternal Giants into his Blessed Land.

He walked towards the city lord's head.

At this moment, the city lord's face was even paler than before.

He no longer had the confident look he had when he saw the three giants appear; all that remained was fear, deep fear.

Who exactly was this person?

"Who are you? Why are you targeting our empire? Why do you want to go to the imperial city!"

The city lord's head let out a hysterical cry.

"Because I can't stand it, so I want to kill people; is that a sufficient reason?"

"You—"

The city lord's head trembled with anger.

Arrogant! Presumptuous!

How could there be such an arrogant person in the world? Just because he couldn't stand it, he wanted to run to the empire to kill people, to kill all the way to the imperial city?

Where did he think the Atu Empire was!

"You will soon pay the price for your foolishness and ignorance! You dare to be so arrogant even as an Eternal Saint Realm cultivator!"

The city lord let out a shrill laugh; even if a demigod came, forcibly breaking into the imperial city would only lead to death.

If it weren't for his duty to protect the imperial city, he wouldn't have wanted to intercept him at all; anyway, if this person continued to advance, he would surely die.

Not to mention the imperial city, he wouldn't even have the chance to enter it.

The powerhouses in the cities behind were stronger than the last; daring to come alone, single-handedly, was just a shameless madman!

"You talk too much, and it's all nonsense."

After saying that, he directly shattered the city lord's head, causing him to let out a shrill scream as his primordial spirit collapsed, dying completely.

Subsequently, he reached out and sucked the seven powerhouses nailed to the top of the city lord's mansion, along with the city lord's body, into his Blessed Land.

He came to the sky above the city lord's mansion, looked down at the large number of buildings below, and then pressed down with his palm.

Instantly, a large number of figures rushed out from inside, all Atu clan powerhouses lurking within the city lord's mansion, Mixed Origin Saint Realm and Eternal Saint Realm, numbering several hundred people.

They roared and screamed, raising their hands to the sky, trying to support the falling palm.

With a bang.

Amidst a chorus of screams, those powerhouses were all suppressed and killed, without any suspense.

A deep handprint was left in the city lord's mansion.

There were still a large number of people in the city lord's mansion, but their cultivation levels were not high, including many female relatives, children, and elderly people.

Obviously, they were all family members of some of the city lord's subordinates.

Jun Wuxie did not act again; he pulled Yue Yao and took a step, already appearing above the city gate of this city leading to the next city.

All the soldiers near the city gate and on the city walls trembled when they saw him, cold sweat streaming down their bodies, their eyes filled with fear.

Under his killing aura, they were on the verge of collapse!

He stood above the city gate, looking into the distance, and did not move for a long time.

Within the city, countless eyes were focused on his back, some filled with hatred and killing intent, some filled with worship and anticipation.

All Atu people hated him to the bone.

People of other races were filled with anticipation for him.

Hoping that he could kill the Atu people, leaving no one alive, to vent the hatred in their hearts for being oppressed and discriminated against for ages!

The city was very quiet, almost no sound could be heard.

Everyone remained silent, only watching the distant figure above the city gate from afar.

What was he doing? Why hadn't he moved for so long?

Many people couldn't help but guess, feeling puzzled.

At this moment, the voice of the youth from beyond the realm sounded.

"Atu Emperor, I have come specifically to seek justice for the Xia clan.

If you are willing to bring all the officials of the empire, large and small, as well as all public servants, to kneel and repent, offering your necks for execution, I can spare your entire Atu clan.

This is the most merciful decision I can make; I hope you can cherish this opportunity and not attempt to do foolish things, personally burying your clan."

Jun Wuxie's voice was not very loud, his tone calm and indifferent, spreading out from this city.

The voice passed through city after city, without weakening in the slightest, making everyone in the entire city cluster, hundreds of cities, hear clearly, as if it were ringing in their ears.

The people in this city were shocked, unable to believe their ears.

That youth from beyond the realm actually used such a method to directly address the emperor, asking him to bring people out to repent and die!

What powerful words, powerful to the extreme!

But how could the emperor possibly agree?

That was the ruler of the empire, high above, standing at the cloud's peak of the entire continent, overlooking all living beings, supreme and unrivaled!

Such a person would not even allow his majesty to be slightly provoked, and would often exterminate entire clans!

This youth from beyond the realm, speaking like this, meant that the powerhouses of the entire city cluster already knew what had happened here.

For him, this was a rather unfavorable action.

Many people couldn't understand what he was thinking and why he would make such an unwise decision to speak out like that.

… …

At this moment, within the Atu Imperial City, in the magnificent and ancient imperial palace.

In the resplendent palace hall, the Atu Emperor sat on the throne.

His figure was very burly, his beard very thick, but his face was clean-shaven, with hair only on his chin and below his nose.

His eyes were very sharp, as if they could see through the secrets in the depths of people's hearts.

The moment the voice entered the hall and echoed within, the Atu Emperor's face was ashen, his eyes incomparably gloomy, and cold light burst forth from his pupils.

"Your Majesty, please calm down; that youth from beyond the realm is just an ignorant and arrogant child; Your Majesty need not be angered by him.

If he wants to break into the imperial city, then let him break in; how many cities can he pass through?

This place is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den; even if a demigod comes to this continent, he must stop before the imperial city!"

An official of the Atu Empire said, seeing the Atu Emperor's gloomy face.

"How far is the outer city from here?" The Atu Emperor's gloomy expression was only fleeting; he then returned to his usual deep and unreadable demeanor.

Without waiting for the official to respond, he said in a voice that was calm but not lacking in majesty: "Speaking in the outer city, the voice reaches here.

Listening to his tone, his voice was not impassioned, indicating that the volume was not loud.

But when it reached here, it did not weaken.

Such methods, among those present, who can do it?

There are three giants guarding the outer layer, fourth level of the Ten Directions Mythical Realm.

Now it seems that those three giants should all have died at his hands.

In the future, do not say such foolish things again."

After the Atu Emperor finished speaking, he closed his eyes.

The official was filled with embarrassment and some trepidation upon hearing this.

Of course, he knew that the person was not simple; the news from Earth City had already been sent back; judging from this information alone, he was extraordinary.

However, in front of the emperor, he did not want to say things that would boost the morale of those from beyond the realm, and he was just trying to please the emperor just now.

He did not expect the emperor to call him foolish this time, patting the horse's leg instead of its back.

"Your Majesty is wise; this subject is dull."

That minister hurriedly bowed in agreement, not forgetting to flatter Emperor Atu once more.

"Go, take my imperial decree to the Royal Academy and have the academy send some powerful Eternal Overlords to the second level to guard the city and provide support.

This person's strength should be above the Saint Realm and below the God Realm. If a God Realm expert doesn't appear, we must use numerical superiority to crush him, ensuring stability and avoiding unnecessary losses."

Emperor Atu took out a jade token and threw it to a minister in the hall, then said to another minister: "Transmit my decree, ordering the cities surrounding Earth City to assemble their armies and break through Earth City for me!

Too many years have passed without anyone coming to save the Xia Clan. The Xia Clan people have actually rekindled their hopes.

It seems they have lingered for too long and have forgotten the fear of being dominated by blood and death.

Then this time, let the Xia Clan relive blood and death.

After the city is breached, the slaughter and deterrence will be carried out according to the previous proportions.

After all, we still need the Xia Clan people to enter the Flame Mountains and collect flame crystal mines for us."

Emperor Atu wanted to exterminate the Xia Clan more than anyone else present.

But he knew it was impossible.

Because they needed flame crystal mines, and the flame crystal mines were all located in the mountains near the Flame Mountains.

No one but the Xia Clan could mine them.

Those with higher cultivation could forcibly enter the mines, but once they mined flame crystal mines, they would be attacked by the dragon vein energy in the Flame Mountains, with serious consequences.

They had lost dozens of Eternal experts and several Eternal Overlords suffered severe injuries because of this.

If it weren't for this, how could they have kept the Xia Clan alive?

Only the Xia Clan could withstand the intense heat inside and mine the ore without being attacked.

They had analyzed that it should be the Xia Clan's totem god lurking in the Flame Mountains who was behind it.

"Your Majesty is wise. The Xia Clan should be taught a lesson again, otherwise their thoughts will become active again.

This subject will go and convey your Majesty's decree!"

One minister withdrew, and another minister also left, carrying Emperor Atu's imperial decree.

"This extra-territorial visitor is indeed a stunning talent.

If we suppress him this time and use secret methods to turn him into the most loyal servant, he will be of great use to my empire in the future."

Emperor Atu muttered to himself, a hint of confident smile appearing on his deep face, very faint and not easily noticeable.

No one could take advantage in his empire. Even demigods had to coil up and lie low, let alone a young man in the Eternal Saint Realm.

"To encounter such a person is a blessing from heaven for me. To receive a stunning and talented servant is a joyous thing in life."

He thought to himself, his mood becoming better and better at this moment.

Fortunately, that extra-territorial youth came. If he had waited another few decades or hundreds of years, with his talent, who knows what realm he would have cultivated to.

If he entered the God Realm in this great era and then came, it would be too difficult to deal with.

In that case, it would be basically impossible to turn him into a servant.

Now, it is a certainty, and the final result will not have any suspense.

No matter how heaven-defying he is, his realm is ultimately insufficient. In the face of his empire, he cannot make any waves.
