Chapter 1497: Chapter 1187: The Resurrection of Emperor Shenwu

Lu Yanghua lay on the ground, his eyes wide open as he stared at the boy who emerged from his body. The boy cast a disdainful glance at Lu Yanghua, then said in a youthful voice, “What I bestow upon you is yours; what I do not, you cannot forcibly take.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Yanghua’s eyes revealed endless hatred. He had thought he had seized everything, only to end up making a wedding dress for another.

Hate!!!

He was so full of hatred!!!

He was unwilling!!!

Seeing the hatred in Lu Yanghua’s eyes, Emperor Shenwu sneered and said, “I’ve seen eyes like yours more times than I can count. Alas, those who show such eyes always end up turning to dust before me.”

“Alright, your task is complete, it’s time for you to be on your way.”

As he spoke, Emperor Shenwu activated the complete version of the Heaven Stealing Technique. In an instant, all of Lu Yanghua’s blood energy and Power of Slaughter converged onto Emperor Shenwu, transforming him from a child into his younger self in no time.

By this time, Lu Yanghua had become a desiccated corpse.

Emperor Shenwu felt the power within his body and then muttered to himself, “Tianji Pavilion, what a cunning calculation, but you underestimated me.”

As Emperor Shenwu finished speaking, Emperor Ye Hun and Emperor Xuanlin appeared before him, bowing and saying, “Congratulations to Your Majesty on your rebirth!”

Emperor Shenwu nodded lightly. Emperor Ye Hun and Emperor Xuanlin had known from the start that Emperor Shenwu’s reincarnation was not complete and was still ongoing. They supported Lu Yanghua at first, helping him stabilize the Shenyue Dynasty’s situation, merely waiting for Emperor Shenwu’s reincarnation to finish.

Emperor Ye Hun then spoke, “Your Majesty should be aware of the Great Sum Dynasty’s situation, right?”

Having completed the flesh and blood reincarnation, Lu Yanghua’s memories should have been read by Emperor Shenwu. It was very likely he already knew what had transpired in the Great Sum Dynasty during this period.

Upon hearing Emperor Ye Hun’s words, Emperor Shenwu’s expression instantly turned grim. He had indeed read Lu Yanghua’s memories and learned everything that had occurred in the Great Sum Dynasty, as well as the possibility of Lu Chen being the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor.

Emperor Shenwu sneered coldly and then said, “I never imagined that my son might actually be the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor.”

Lu Chen’s existence had already posed a severe threat to the Shenyue Dynasty. The Shenyue Dynasty’s next goal was to dominate the entire universe, yet the Great Sum Dynasty’s expansion rate was already faster than Shenyue’s.

Most critically, the barrier of the Great Sum Dynasty was even tricky for Tianji Pavilion to handle. Xuan Tian still hadn’t found a way to breach it.

If the Great Sum Dynasty were allowed to continue developing, even if Lu Chen wasn’t the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor, he would soon become one.

One of Emperor Shenwu’s reasons for lusting after domination was to seize the position of the Heavenly Emperor. As his power increased, he vaguely sensed that only one Heavenly Emperor could be born in a universe.

If Lu Chen became the Heavenly Emperor before him, he would find it difficult to break through, so he had to curb the Great Sum Dynasty’s expansion, preventing it from gaining more Qi Fortune.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Shenwu said reluctantly, “It seems cooperation with Tianji Pavilion cannot be severed yet.”

Although Tianji Pavilion had schemed against him during his reincarnation, it seemed they were the only ones capable of breaking the Great Sum Dynasty’s barrier.

If even the national defense array of the Great Sum Dynasty couldn’t be breached, even if Shenyue Dynasty sent troops to attack, they’d only return empty-handed.

After contemplating for a while, Emperor Shenwu said to Emperor Ye Hun, “Inform those emperors at Tianji Pavilion that I have been resurrected and will soon personally visit Tianji Pavilion.”

Emperor Ye Hun immediately replied, “Yes, Your Majesty.”

Immediately after, Emperor Ye Hun turned and vanished, reappearing before the retreat location of Tianji Pavilion’s emperors.

When the emperors of Tianji Pavilion sensed a high-realm emperor arriving, they all suddenly opened their eyes.

The emperors of Tianji Pavilion knew how Lu Yanghua had ascended to power, so they were somewhat worried that one day the two Ninth Layer emperors of the Shenyue Dynasty would discover the truth and come seeking trouble, remaining vigilant all the while.

Upon seeing Emperor Ye Hun, one emperor of Tianji Pavilion smiled and asked, “I wonder what instructions senior has for us?”

Emperor Ye Hun replied expressionlessly, “Your Majesty asked me to relay a message to you all.”

Hearing this, the emperors of Tianji Pavilion were taken aback. Lu Yanghua had always been under their control, so if there were any issues, he would undoubtedly tell them first, not seek out an emperor from the Shenyue Dynasty.

Why did Lu Yanghua let an emperor of the Ninth Layer convey a message this time?

Could it be Lu Yanghua believed that with Yunhua Palace as an ally, the Shenyue Dynasty no longer feared Tianji Pavilion?

At this thought, that emperor’s face instantly darkened, and then he said unkindly, “I wonder what message Your Majesty wishes to convey?”

Seeing the emperors of Tianji Pavilion show displeasure on their faces, Emperor Ye Hun guessed they had misunderstood, possibly thinking Lu Yanghua sent him to deliver the message.

Emperor Ye Hun did not retort due to their tone; it was not yet the time to turn against Tianji Pavilion. Their majesty still had some plans.

Then, Emperor Ye Hun said, “The ‘Your Majesty’ I refer to is Emperor Shenwu.”

Hearing this, the emperors of Tianji Pavilion were immediately stunned. The emperor who had spoken earlier was so frightened that he turned pale, stammering, “No… no way…”

“He wasn’t…”

That emperor did not continue, as he had already realized.

They had initially felt that Emperor Shenwu had died too quickly. Despite being a Ninth Layer emperor and a Slaughter Emperor at that, he couldn’t have been so easily calculated to death.

Logically, given Emperor Shenwu’s character, he would drag all those emperors who harmed him down with him even if he died, yet he hadn’t.

For a moment, the hall fell silent, the air thick with tension, the sound of breathing perfectly audible.

If Emperor Shenwu had resurrected, he would definitely know that Tianji Pavilion had been the ones scheming behind the scenes. Was he now planning to deal with Tianji Pavilion?

Emperor Shenwu had once destroyed a branch of Tianji Pavilion before. If he acted, none of the Tianji Pavilion’s emperors present would likely survive.

At this time, one emperor of Tianji Pavilion asked tremulously, “I… I wonder what Emperor Shenwu’s instructions are…”

Seeing the emperors trembling with fear, Emperor Ye Hun couldn’t help but chuckle softly. Then he said, “His Majesty asks you to inform your Tower Master that he has been resurrected and will soon visit Tianji Pavilion personally.”
