Chapter 834: Chapter 314: The Emergence of the Immortal, Upheaval in the Celestial Destiny World

Bone Demon Royal City.

This place is incredibly peaceful, unaware that the Dragon Race that had disappeared for a while is preparing to return with vengeance.

In the Bone Demon Royal Palace, the Bone Demon eunuchs and Bone Demon imperial maids are completing their daily tasks.

Actually, there haven’t been many tasks to complete recently.

After all, once everything runs smoothly, and the city operates orderly on its own, there really hasn’t been much for them to do.

The National Spirit... Hongmeng is maintaining the city’s operation.

So most of the blacksmiths have gone next door to Manor to draw cards, and rarely come here lately.

But while others can walk around, Yan Shuangying can only sit in the office: "I feel like I’m imprisoned, unable to be a free man."

Initially, what he thought was cool turned into mundane life and work, feeling quite tedious.

Even less relaxed than the neighboring Marriage Dress Town.

Lin Meimei over there, with a group of Hairpin Ladies, is making moves freely, forming a private guild of female blacksmiths, without anyone watching over them.

Rustling sounds!

At this moment, a mass of black clouds surged through the sky.

Roar!!

A massive nine-headed black dragon swirled in the sky, exuding a terrifying pressure that suffocated the city’s inhabitants.

Yan Shuangying looked up, eyes wide: "The Nine-headed Dragon Emperor, awakened, turned black?"

The Nine-headed Dragon Emperor slightly overlooked the imperial palace where Yan Shuangying was, revealing a hint of murderous intent.

Though aware that the other was merely a manager, a pawn pushed to the forefront, their Bone Demon Race’s past offenses — stepping on dragon robes, treading dragon ladders, sitting on thrones... were unforgivable!

"Let me start with you!" The Nine-headed Dragon Emperor coldly said.

"I’m innocent." Yan Shuangying was taken aback, internally bemoaning.

Why didn’t the old steward come to work as emperor today? Otherwise, he should be the one getting killed today, how did it end up with me? Speaking of which, the old steward’s never been killed before. Not turning into the Ghost King is rather outdated.

"Bone King, why aren’t you working today?" He hurriedly hid under the desk, pressing the red emergency button underneath while shouting: "Hongmeng, quickly go to the South Sea to invite Guanyin... ugh! Invite Phoenix Yi to save me!"

Boom!

Moments later, the Dharma Aspect of Phoenix Yi instantly arrived, soaring into the sky.

Elsewhere, the Great Emperor of the White Tiger Race appeared as well, suggesting a recent battle had forged some agreement with Phoenix Yi.

The two Divine Beast race leaders looked at the Nine-headed Dragon Emperor and coldly snorted: "What brings you here?"

"To fight!" The Nine-headed Dragon Emperor glanced at Yan Shuangying hiding under the desk, coldly snorted, and his figure suddenly vanished.

The two promptly followed suit.

On this day, the skies turned and seas shattered.

Ning Zheng also felt the unrest outside.

But lacking the mantle of the Ancient Bronze Emperor, he couldn’t spy or discern victory and defeat, feeling a bit regretful. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

He even came to the Bone Demon Royal City, dressed up, and sat on the Throne as Bone King, "I might as well slack off, given I’m still injured."

Half a day later, Phoenix Yi returned, "The issue’s resolved; the Dragon Race has joined our Four Seas Dynasty, and profits are shared!"

"As for your past provocations against the Dragon Race, I’ve settled it for you."

Phoenix Yi’s gaze fell on Ning Zheng’s dragon robe on the throne, his expression peculiar: "But you need to change this outfit; do not further provoke the Dragon Race."

"Alright, sir." Ning Zheng nodded; Phoenix Yi was indeed a good leader, one to be respected.

Evidently, for Phoenices and the White Tiger Race to keep the proud Dragon Race at bay, it required considerable Heart Power.

Next was a meeting of the Four Seas Divine Beasts, to resume control over the sea and divide the profits.

Ning Zheng merely listened on the side, using his Dharma Aspect as Bone King to participate, continuing to slack off.

Thus, they deliberated for three days, eventually confirming respective interests and summoned Ghost King Cursed, Human Emperor Xin Xichen, to prepare for a grand operation.

Though the affair was confidential, Ning Zheng was privileged to observe.

They aimed to raid the Ancient Bronze Embers Emperor once more.

"After all, that guy holds the Imperial Mausoleum, amassing resources, and can no longer allow ancestral Demon Gods to grow like this." Nine-headed Dragon Emperor stated.

"Indeed, first clear the strongest faction out, then we’ll dispute among ourselves." Phoenix Yi concurred.

"Certainly, their mysterious nature, perpetually feeling like something dreadful is brewing in secret. This time, I’ve developed a new Sealing Array technique; he surely won’t escape via Flash anymore!" Xin Xichen declared.

Ning Zheng chuckled.

Indeed, as Nine-State’s top technologist, Xin Xichen’s previous Seven Colors Celestial Spirit Root circulated Sealing Array was excessively formidable.

Ning Zheng forcibly spent billions of Qi Fortune Value to break through.

This time, Xin Xichen was so confident, apparently bringing out a killer Sealing Array technique.

If meant to seal Ning Zheng again, it might cost over ten billion to break his array.

"Interesting, luckily I lost the mantle, someone else steps in for the beating."

Ning Zheng continued spectating and cultivating, watching their discussion.

He clocked in daily, slacking off in meetings, secretly cultivating the neighboring Qi Fortune system; given his high realm and Enlightenment buff, learning introductory spells went swiftly.

He only opts to spend Qi Fortune Value for Enlightenment when encountering difficulties.

With such fervent studying, various systems had reached neighboring Three Elements Realm entry-level proficiency; according to Ning Zheng’s estimates, he saved at least ten million Qi Fortune Value over three days.

Simply exhilarating.

He truly found a money-saving path.

Each money-saving practice and cultivation felt like a profit to Ning Zheng.

While these three elites prepared for a surprise assault on the Ancient Bronze Emperor, Ning Zheng also amassed over ten billion Qi Fortune Value over three days.

Simply an extraordinary gain.

Over at Sword Casting Manor, with ten billion invested, the Masked Spirit Root should be upgraded too.

The second Spirit Root could arrive at any time, but Ning Zheng maintained patience, intending to wait.

During this moment, the timeline next door reached three thousand years.

Celestial Destiny World.

With three thousand years of honing and growth, Night Emperor’s majesty intensified, intimidating mortals.

Three thousand years marked an era’s turnover.

In past eras, three thousand years sufficed for a Self-Transformation Realm’s growth.

Especially given the current advancement, Self-Transformation Realm was achieved in one to two thousand years, aiding the young races founded amid the New Epoch’s biological explosion to ascend world peaks.

Returning now to the Celestial Destiny Era’s inaugural prime period.

Night Emperor’s son, much like a prophesied Celestial Destiny protagonist, started training in the Lower Realm at twelve, experiencing various adventures, legends, resonating across regions, turning experiences into laudable tales.

Even.

Night Emperor’s son personally visited a palace, kissing the cursed Sleeping Beauty’s crystal coffin, their match made in heaven retold as a delightful story.

This young couple explored broadly, breaching Self-Transformation Realm and reached worldly summits within a millennium.

Additionally, Night God Banquet, abhorring wickedness, endeavored to create a godly new world, self-claiming divinity, utilizing the yet-to-perfect [Life and Death Legacy] to alter people’s destiny, granting or retracting lifetimes.

Punishing evil, rewarding good!

He continuously documented all beings’ fates, wielding Death God authority as Night Emperor’s firstborn, gradually spreading across the world, earning universal respect.

Appearing as the world’s foremost stringent life-and-death judge.

However.

During a night while Night Emperor’s son was outdoors in a mountain valley, a terrifying giant hand suddenly attacked.

Such force seemingly breached life limits, entering another realm.

"It’s an Immortal!"

Night God Banquet revealed profound shock, "Emperor Zangwu, you’ve emerged! You became an Immortal, attacking me, a junior — shameless!"

News quickly spread; Emperor Zangwu invited Night Emperor for a decisive battle above the West Sea.

"What?"

"Emperor Zangwu emerged so stealthily?"

"Wasn’t that Emperor Zangwu purportedly upright, arrogantly principled, utterly disdainful of vile tactics?"

"Haha! Before, others weren’t deserving; now, Night Emperor poses too great a threat; he must resort to such despicable means!"

"How laughable, an Immortal fearing a mere mortal."

The world buzzed with talk, it was too sudden.

Yet contemplating, an unheralded Immortal breaching gates and emerging, ambushing a junior — who could withstand?

Celestial Destiny World, abruptly stirred, reaching a life-and-death juncture.
