Chapter 1140 I Am the Heavenly Emperor
“Hurry, save Yang Jian!”
The Jade Emperor worried that if Yang Jian died, there would be no one to protect him. He roared, “Do not let Yang Jian die! Whoever saves Yang Jian will be appointed as the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Court!”
Such a generous reward from the Jade Emperor drove many into a frenzy.
Countless immortals from the Heavenly Court rushed forward recklessly, launching their attacks on Liu Yi.
“Protect the boss!”
Chen Cai roared, swinging his enormous cudgel and striking with his bear paws, sending the immortals flying. With the power of a Transcendent and the strength of the Misty True Body technique, Chen Cai displayed his prowess!
Ye Hanshuang and Sima Rou also guarded Liu Yi’s side, fending off one immortal after another.
Luo Xiaoxiao’s combat ability was the most astonishing. Her Luo family’s Heaven-Circling Acupoint-Breaking Finger struck time and again, seriously injuring an immortal each time without taking their life.
The young girl’s heart was still kind, unwilling to kill anyone.
But at that moment, Li Jing suddenly appeared in front of Liu Yi, holding a precious sword in his hand and viciously thrusting it towards Liu Yi’s chest.
Liu Yi, fully focused on absorbing Erlang Shen’s soul, had no way to deal with Li Jing.
Li Jing laughed triumphantly, intending to finish Liu Yi off in one move!
However, at that moment, a woman in a red fire fox coat suddenly flew out from within Liu Yi’s body. She was instantly enveloped in a red Flame Emperor Armor, wielding two long blades with flames, slashing through Li Jing’s waist.
“Wha-, what…”
Li Jing’s eyes widened, and he stared at his slowly separating body.
“Hmph, dare to touch my man without knowing your place.”
Lin Tong stood there, holding two flaming blades, speaking disdainfully.
Li Jing, a great expert from the Heavenly Court, was defeated in one move by Lin Tong.
His body began to emit red flames, burning his flesh.
“This servant shall help too!”
A small spider jumped down from atop Liu Yi’s head. In the blink of an eye, it grew as large as a truck, landing among the crowd.
The Eight Wastelands Poisonous Spider, Meng Xi, transformed into her original form!
She opened her mouth and spewed out huge webs. Whoever was enveloped by them would be burned by the intense poison.
The poison of the Eight Wastelands Poisonous Spider was so fierce that few could withstand it. Moreover, since Meng Xi had been staying with Liu Yi every day, her magical power had greatly improved.
The Eight Wastelands Poisonous Spider, once bullied in the Qin Emperor’s Palace, was now a powerful Transcendent. She had become a deadly weapon, wreaking havoc among the crowd.
“It’s over…”
The Jade Emperor was utterly despaired, “Now… our Heavenly Court is truly doomed…”
“Old Master… Do you have any other methods?”
The Jade Emperor asked.
Unexpectedly, the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord waved his hand, “I can only be considered a bystander.”
The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord embraced the situation, “My duty is to assist the emperor of the Immortal Realm. But if your fate truly comes to an end here, then I cannot help you.”
“Old Master, how can you say such a thing!”
The Queen Mother exclaimed hysterically, “We are the supreme rulers of the Heavenly Court! Are you going to betray us?”
“I told you, I am merely an observer.”
The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord chuckled, “I will not interfere in this war. I am a neutral party. Besides, I have already helped both of you before, but you failed to eradicate the root of the problem. Now, the purple qi is coming from the east, and I see the imperial aura rising behind Liu Yi. I fear that your fates have truly come to an end.”
“Impossible! This cannot be!”
The Jade Emperor could not believe it. He had cultivated great immortal fate to become the Immortal Emperor of the Heavenly Court. And now, a mere mortal sought to overthrow him?
“Treasure Lotus Lamp!”
The Jade Emperor stood up, extended his hand, and summoned the Treasure Lotus Lamp from Erlang Shen’s body.
The lamp flew to the Jade Emperor and transformed into a golden jade armor.
At the same time, he reached out and beckoned to the sky. A white dragon flew across the sky, extending a hundred meters. The white dragon transformed into a silver-white dragon head sword, falling into the Jade Emperor’s hand.
The previously despondent Jade Emperor now appeared majestic.
His long hair danced in the wind, and a green lotus mark appeared on his forehead.
The Jade Emperor’s appearance regressed from middle age to his youth. He held the dragon head sword, and his gaze, sharp as a blade, fell upon Liu Yi.
“I represent the entire Heavenly Court! The whole Immortal Realm! My fate is not yet exhausted! Liu Yi, let me personally face you!”
With that, the Jade Emperor waved his sword, and a white dragon formed of immortal power pounced towards Liu Yi.
Liu Yi was still entangled with Erlang Shen’s soul, unable to spare any attention.
“Don’t even think about it!”
Lin Tong appeared in front of Liu Yi, her two long blades combined, carrying two huge flames, and slashed at the white dragon!
The white dragon was split in half by the fiery blades.
The Jade Emperor furrowed his brow, “A mere woman… possesses such strength?”
“Of course! Don’t underestimate me, the fox immortal Lin Tong!”
As Lin Tong spoke, the power within her surged, filling her two long blades.
The two flaming blades instantly grew to over a hundred meters in length. Lin Tong swung them vertically, and it seemed as if the entire hall was split in two!
“Damn it!”
The Jade Emperor’s expression changed upon seeing this move. He raised his sword to block it.
Clang!
The fiery blades struck the sword, causing it to sink and cracks to appear on the blade.
“Roar!”
At that moment, Liu Yi suddenly raised his head and let out a roar!
A surge of immortal qi shot straight up into the sky, dispersing the clouds above.
Erlang Shen’s body was slowly dissipating, his soul absorbed by Liu Yi, never to recover from this calamity.
Liu Yi had completely taken Erlang Shen’s soul power, and the immortal energy within him was perfectly replenished.
At this moment, Liu Yi turned his head to look at the Jade Emperor, exuding an aura of immortality.
“Jade Emperor, your era has come to an end.”
As Liu Yi spoke, he took a deep breath and blew towards the Jade Emperor.
“Whoosh!”
A storm instantly rose, blowing the Jade Emperor’s body away!
His armor shattered continuously, and the long sword in his hand fell, embedding itself in a nearby wall with a clang.
The Jade Emperor looked miserable, lying on the ground and reverting to his previous middle-aged appearance.
“I’m sorry.”
Liu Yi stood in front of the Jade Emperor, holding a Heavenly Gang Blade to his neck, “Admit defeat, and hand over your imperial authority.”
“I… I…”
The Jade Emperor’s face was pale, his hair disheveled, and he appeared utterly defeated.
“Hand over your imperial authority, and I will spare your life.”
Liu Yi’s voice carried an irresistible force, “I don’t want to cause a bloodbath.”
The Jade Emperor raised his head and looked around.
Liu Yi’s army of netherworld servants fought in all directions, and the Heavenly Court’s army was continuously retreating.
Liu Yi’s companions were awe-inspiring, and no immortal could get close.
Taibai Jinxing sat dispiritedly to one side, staring blankly at the Jade Emperor.
Regret filled the Jade Emperor’s eyes. Only now did he suddenly remember Taibai Jinxing’s words; he should not have made an enemy of Liu Yi.
This time, the gods and Buddhas above the fourth heaven would not save him, would they? Last time, they had suppressed Sun Wukong for his power, wanting him to journey to the West to fetch the scriptures and cleanse his violent nature.
And this time… they would likely stand by and watch.
However, he still had a good relationship with the Golden Winged Dapeng. That Golden Winged Dapeng was the Buddha’s maternal uncle! He could use this relationship to hide in the Western Paradise and ask the Buddha for help!
The Buddhas were all powerful beings above the fourth heaven. With them on his side, he did not believe Liu Yi could cause any more trouble!
By then, he would be able to regain control of the Immortal Realm and force Liu Yi off the stage!
“Do you admit defeat?”
Unaware of the Jade Emperor’s thoughts, Liu Yi asked again.
“I… I admit defeat…”
The Jade Emperor raised his hand in surrender.
As he surrendered, the Queen Mother’s face turned pale, and the other immortals stopped their attacks, staring blankly at the Jade Emperor.
The Jade Emperor… gave up his imperial authority?
How… how… how could this happen?
“Hand over the imperial jade seal and the Investiture of the Gods scroll.”
Liu Yi said.
The Jade Emperor hesitated for a moment, but to save his life, he handed over the symbols of imperial power: the jade seal and the Investiture of the Gods scroll.
With these two items, Liu Yi held supreme imperial authority and the power to confer immortal positions.
Holding these two items, Liu Yi announced loudly, “All immortals, listen to my command! Those who are willing to follow me, Liu Yi, kneel before me! Those who are unwilling, renounce your immortal status and return to your homes!”
Upon hearing Liu Yi’s words, almost all of the immortals knelt before him.
The remaining few had already lost their fighting strength.
“Congratulations, Heavenly Emperor!”
Chen Cai was the first to kneel and bow to Liu Yi.
“Congratulations, Heavenly Emperor!”
As he bowed, many others followed suit, paying their respects to Liu Yi with utmost reverence.
“Heavenly Emperor?”
A faint smile formed at the corner of Liu Yi’s mouth, “This title seems fitting.”
He summoned the Treasure Lotus Lamp and held it in his hand, “From this moment on, I am the Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Court!”
As he spoke, the Treasure Lotus Lamp transformed into golden jade armor, draping over Liu Yi’s body.
Eight purple fire dragons emerged, circling Liu Yi’s body once before soaring into the sky.
Although not yet nine dragons, the eight fire dragons were already an astonishing sight.
At this moment, the imperial power of the Celestial Court was overturned, a matter that would shake the Six Realms!
And the person who accomplished all of this was Liu Yi.
He walked to the dragon throne and slowly sat down.
All the immortals knelt and bowed beneath him, and none refused to submit. Those unwilling to follow Liu Yi had fled with the Jade Emperor.
“Your Majesty.”
Both the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord and Taibai Jinxing were among the kneeling crowd. Taibai Jinxing stepped forward and asked, “Your Majesty, now that you rule the Celestial Court, please issue your first decree.”
Liu Yi nodded and waved his hand, “From today onward, the Immortal Realm shall abolish slavery. All slaves will be restored to commoner status! Those who do not obey will be deemed guilty of a serious crime!”
At this…
Liu Yi’s words immediately stirred up the crowd below.
“Your Majesty!”
Taibai Jinxing offered his advice, “Abolishing slavery… this might not be entirely appropriate…”
“Taibai, feel free to speak your mind.”
Liu Yi was amiable and receptive, addressing Taibai Jinxing with a pleasant expression.
