Chapter 728: Chapter 727: The Ruin of the Forbidden Land?
Controlling time is just as terrifying.
In the blink of an eye, time could be hastened.
Even with a gap in realms, there’s no resisting it.
"Another fifty Fate points in hand, not bad at all,"
After slaying a strong member of the Dragon Clan, Liu Zheng couldn’t help but smile as he heard the system’s voice in his ear.
It was indeed quite good for someone with Fate to have fifty Fate points appear.
"Time to find the next one."
Liu Zheng said and continued forward.
...
On his way, Liu Zheng found some individuals not recorded in the Demon God Temple who were fated, and he amassed a total of one hundred and fifty Fate points.
At this time, at a palace on a mountain peak in the distance,
Wu Jun, the Heavenly Court’s Saint Heir, had come here and seemed to be figuring out how to get inside.
Just then, as if sensing something, he suddenly stopped.
The void flickered, and a figure appeared before him.
"Saint Son of the Demon God’s Temple, Liu Zheng?"
Wu Jun stared at Liu Zheng as he spoke.
"What business does the Holy Son of the Demon God’s Temple have with me?"
"Or has someone sent you to kill me?"
Wu Jun’s expression was very calm, as if he had expected Liu Zheng would come for him.
"Pretty much, I’m here to see you off today,"
Liu Zheng said indifferently.
A flicker of surprise crossed Wu Jun’s eyes, and he said solemnly, "Your Demon God Temple has already offended many, and now you’re probably the enemy of the whole world. Do you really want to antagonize us at the Heavenly Court as well?"
"Our Heavenly Court’s strength may not match that of your Demon God Temple, but if several powers unite against you, the Demon God Temple will also have a hard time."
The Demon God Temple’s domineering nature was well known to all.
And Wu Jun was aware of this.
They in the Demon God Temple would slaughter without regard to one’s background, nor would they fear any force.
What he hadn’t expected was that the Demon God Temple, having offended so many powers, still intended to strike at him as well.
This was something he couldn’t understand.
After all, they at the Heavenly Court also had the Great Perfection Supreme System in place.
Together with their Divine Weapons and cooperation from several forces, it might be possible to contend with the Demon God Temple.
Keep in mind that the Heavenly Court had connections with a forbidden zone.
"Heh, you really overestimate yourselves,"
Liu Zheng said scornfully.
The Great Perfection Supreme System was indeed powerful, but he didn’t think this Great Perfection Supreme System could change anything.
"No, I have never overestimated myself. Once a Heavenly Court emperor, now in a forbidden zone, if you kill me, that Supreme Emperor will certainly not let you off."
"The Demon God Temple may be strong, but if faced with a forbidden zone, I believe it’s still not manageable."
Even now, Wu Jun remained extraordinarily calm.
"Are you threatening me?"
"You could say that, I guess. I don’t want to be enemies with your Demon God Temple, nor do I want to fall here."
"Perhaps others might fear your words, but it’s a pity you’ve met me now."
Amid the conversation, Liu Zheng reached out directly with one hand. There was a significant disparity in their realms and combat power; Wu Jun stood no chance and was instantly slain.
"Supreme Emperor?"
Liu Zheng recalled what Wu Jun had just said, musing to himself.
In fact, even without killing Wu Jun, Liu Zheng could foresee that these Quasi-Emperors were about to make their move.
Recently, the Demon God Temple had received news that the Dragon Clan and the Fire Phoenix Clan had been in contact with a forbidden land.
Clearly, the Dragon Clan and the Fire Phoenix Clan were preparing to make a move against the Demon God Temple.
"Alternatively, wiping out the forbidden land is also a good choice,"
Liu Zheng said with a grave voice.
...
A month’s time passed, and the Ancient Wasteland Planet closed once again.
Waiting for the next opening would be another hundred years.
A lot had happened on the Ancient Wasteland Planet during this time.
But the most shocking thing was that Liu Zheng had nearly killed off all the young generation of powerhouses.
Be it the proud scions of the ancient races, the celestial court, or the Star Union, all were targets of Liu Zheng.
And these scions couldn’t withstand more than two moves in front of Liu Zheng.
They were essentially being killed instantly.
They had not imagined that among the young generation of powerhouses, Liu Zheng could be so unimaginably strong.
"This Saint Heir of the Demon God’s Temple is really too terrifying; powerhouses like Wu Jun and Long Zaitian are simply not on his level," someone said.
"It’s always been said that the Holy Son of the Demon God’s Temple is the strongest of the young generation and is the most likely in the future to become an emperor," another commented.
"This truly is a monstrous talent, unrivaled henceforth," chimed in a third.
"With so many scions fallen, the Dao Realm is about to become lively again. I’ve heard that both the celestial court and the Star Union are extremely angry," said a voice in the crowd.
"But surely they won’t take action, right? During that battle, twelve Divine Weapons of Emperors were deployed, and still, they failed to kill anyone from the Demon God Temple," someone speculated.
"Even two Quasi-Emperors were directly scared off. If a real battle breaks out, I feel like the celestial court and Star Union stand no chance," another voiced doubt.
Everyone was discussing heatedly, ever since the fall of Wu Jun and the others, the atmosphere in the Star Domain had turned very strange.
Many felt that the celestial court wouldn’t start a war.
After all, not much time had passed since the last battle.
With the strength of the Demon God Temple, even if the celestial court allied with the Star Union, they wouldn’t have much of a chance of victory.
...
Meanwhile, in the celestial court.
Within a palace surrounded by an aura of immortality.
An emperor sat upon the dragon throne, his gaze abyssal, emanating a majestic pressure that made people dare not look directly at him.
This was the person in charge of the celestial court, also a nine-tiered Quasi-Emperor, Wu Fengyu.
If Xiang Batian and the Hermit of the Azure Lotus had not appeared, Wu Fengyu and Long Zhan would stand at the pinnacle of the world.
They were both just one step away from becoming emperors.
However, after the emergence of Xiang Batian and the Hermit of the Azure Lotus, the strength of these two seemed somewhat insufficient.
"Gentlemen, do you know who issued the task from the Demon God Temple?"
The voice of authority spread throughout the palace.
Beneath him were the celestial court’s elders, their strengths high within the Saint Realm.
"Your Majesty, we have not uncovered any information as of yet. There has been no word from the Demon God Temple, and we have started investigating those who might make a move against the Saint Heir," one elder answered.
"To find out who issued the task, we ultimately need the Demon God Temple to inform us," another added.
"Can the people from the Demon God Temple be captured?"
"The people of the Demon God Temple are all masters of the secret techniques of void. We have not managed to capture any as of now," explained an elder.
Upon hearing this, Wu Fengyu’s brows immediately furrowed, and he said coldly, "If we continue the investigation this way, it will take hundreds of years. Since the Demon God Temple hasn’t disclosed who issued the task, then we should launch a direct attack on their temple, forcing them to reveal it."
"Wu Jun’s death, the issuer of the task, none can be spared, nor can the Demon God Temple," he declared decisively.
In an instant, Wu Fengyu was filled with a murderous intent. He had already regarded the Demon God Temple as an enemy of the celestial court.
Hearing his words, the expressions of the elders below instantly changed.
