Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Chapter 167: Chapter 166: Sacred Might

Celestial River Academy repelled its enemies with an array, dealing the Marquis of Eatern and his men a crushing defeat.

In a furious rage, the Marquis of Eatern took out the gold token bestowed upon him by the Celestial Emperor.

This Waist Token of his was purple and gold, clearly of a higher grade than the one Marquis Yun possessed.

The Marquis of Eatern was not only the Empress’s elder brother, but had also rendered illustrious military service to the Empire, which was why the Celestial Emperor had bestowed this enchanted gold token upon him.

Of course, his ability to obtain a Purple Gold Dragon Token like this was also due to his connection to the Empress. It certainly wasn’t easy for an ordinary person to acquire one!

”A Purple Gold Dragon Token!” Seeing this, Liu Changyang’s eyes burned with envy. Even they didn’t possess such a token.

”The Marquis of Eatern has even brought out a life-saving treasure like that. It seems he’s dead set on breaking Celestial River Academy’s Array and executing Ling Fei on the spot.” A glint flashed in Marquis Yun’s eyes as a savage grin spread across his face. ’Now, it won’t be so easy for Celestial River Academy to stop him.’

And he, in turn, could finally get his revenge.

”Hmph. Han Beihai, let’s see how you can act so arrogant now,” Marquis Yun sneered, then raised his head to gaze into the void before them.

”Condense the Emperor’s Qi!” At that moment, the Marquis of Eatern, who was beside him, made his move.

With a mere thought, Light Patterns flashed across the Purple Gold Dragon Token, and a surge of Emperor’s Qi burst forth.

Under his control, the Emperor’s Qi condensed, instantly forming a hundred-meter-long Giant Sword that hovered before him.

A vast Emperor’s Might radiated from the Giant Sword, causing the very air in the void to freeze solid.

Such might filled even Marquis Yun and the others with solemn reverence.

It was as if they were truly in the presence of the Celestial Emperor himself, not daring to show the slightest hint of disrespect.

’He’s finally getting serious.’ As the Giant Sword took form, the three Profound Pill Realm Elders inside Celestial River Academy all grew grim.

’The Emperor’s Sword, is it?’ Han Beihai’s gaze narrowed, but he showed no sign of panic.

”Emperor’s Sword—break!” As the Emperor’s Sword finished forming, a deep voice boomed from the Marquis of Eatern.

SWISH!

The massive sword flashed, slashing forward.

At the same time, Han Beihai and the others struck. Four giant swords flashed into existence, slashing down from the sky.

”Intercept them!” Liu Changyang and the others attacked, their swords streaking like rainbows as they slashed toward the four giant swords to block their path.

BOOM!

The four men struck with all their might, unleashing terrifying Sword Rainbows that clashed thunderously with the four Sword Rivers.

Terrifying shockwaves rippled outward like a tidal wave, chilling all who witnessed it to the bone.

However, the Giant Sword formed from the Marquis of Eatern’s Emperor’s Qi was unstoppable. It shattered the torrent of energy and slashed directly at the Array Light Curtain ahead.

SWISH!

In an instant, the Giant Sword, blazing with dazzling golden light, struck the Array Light Curtain.

”It’s about to hit!” Within Celestial River Academy, the students watching from various balconies held their breath.

The Celestial River Grand Array was the academy’s only defense. If it were to be broken, how could they possibly resist these invaders?

Would they still be able to protect Ling Fei?

Thus, all of them were incredibly tense.

BOOM!

Finally, under everyone’s watchful eyes, the Emperor’s Sword struck the light curtain manifested by the Celestial River Array, slowly forcing it to cave inward.

Then, the light curtain abruptly buckled and shattered.

A monstrous wave of Emperor’s Might immediately surged out from the breach in the shattered Array Light Curtain.

The sheer power of it filled even the students in the distance with solemn reverence.

”It’s over! The Array Light Curtain has been broken!”

”Is the Emperor’s Sword really that powerful?” In the distance, the academy’s students furrowed their brows.

”What are we going to do?” Shangguan Yurou clasped her hands together, looking extremely nervous.

Beside her, tears of desperation welled up in the eyes of Mu Xue and Huang Xiaoman.

”It’s broken!” Outside, Marquis Yun and the others were overjoyed.

”A Holy Decree from the late Emperor!” Just then, a deep voice suddenly rang out. Elder Dean Han flipped his palm over. A Light Pattern flashed in his palm, transforming into a True Dragon that shot forward. The moment the True Dragon appeared, it immediately neutralized the Emperor’s Might radiating from the Emperor’s Sword.

With a flash of light, the Qi Dragon transformed into a yellow Holy Decree, which unfolded like a scroll to block the breach in the array.

Immediately after, a vast Emperor’s Might swept outward, away from Celestial River Academy.

The Emperor’s Qi within it, like a host of True Dragons, surged forward and instantly shattered the Emperor’s Sword that the Marquis of Eatern had formed.

A vast aura then swept out, threatening to engulf the world. The expressions of Liu Changyang and the others changed drastically, and they hastily retreated.

Looks of utter horror appeared in their eyes.

Everyone looked up and saw a yellow Holy Decree hovering in the void before them.

On the Holy Decree, the nine words ”Serving Heaven and Accepting Destiny, My Presence Be Known” shone with a dazzling light.

A supreme might emanated from these nine words.

The power was so great it seemed capable of crushing mountains and rivers, and it made the five men in front of them gasp for breath.

Their mounts whinnied and shrieked, their faces filled with terror.

As for the Celestial Spirit Realm Divine Guards, they could not stop themselves from falling prostrate on the ground, their eyes wide with terror.

”That’s a Holy Decree!” After steadying himself, Liu Changyang’s expression changed.

”A Holy Decree!” At this sight, even the Marquis of Eatern’s expression became grave.

The words ”My Presence Be Known” filled his heart with dread.

The other Primordial Pill Realm experts were also filled with dread.

A Holy Decree...

My Presence Be Known!

It contained the supreme might of the Celestial Emperor.

Furthermore, activating the Holy Decree could even alert the Celestial Emperor himself.

If the Celestial Emperor so wished, he could know what was happening here with a single thought.

In the Empire, the Celestial Emperor was like a Divine Spirit, his abilities vast and terrifying to all.

No one dared to offend the Celestial Might!

”Wait, that’s a Holy Decree from the late Emperor, not the current one!” Marquis Yun’s eyes suddenly lit up as he spoke.

”It is indeed a Holy Decree from the late Emperor,” Liu Yi nodded beside him.

Nevertheless, their expressions remained solemn.

Even if it was a Holy Decree issued by the late Emperor, the Emperor’s Might it contained was still boundless and far beyond their ability to challenge.

”Is that a Holy Decree?” Meanwhile, an uproar erupted within the academy.

The students, who had been incredibly tense just moments before, now had looks of excitement in their eyes.

”They finally stopped it.” Shangguan Yurou couldn’t help but sigh in relief.

”With the late Emperor’s Holy Decree here, this matter should be settled for now.” Seeing this, Shangguan Qingmu also breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, his face filled with respect as he looked toward Elder Dean Han.

For the academy to be willing to use such a Supreme Treasure, it was clear they had paid an enormous price.

”The Emperor’s Might is truly awe-inspiring!” As the Emperor’s Might from the Holy Decree spread, everyone’s face filled with reverence.

The Holy Decree hovered in the air, wreathed in Emperor’s Qi that took the form of a Qi Dragon coiling around it.

Although it was just a single Holy Decree, the might it contained was even greater than that of a Supreme Treasure.

This was the Emperor’s Might!

The Celestial Emperor wielded the Divine Artifacts of Heaven and Earth and gathered supreme fortune upon himself. He was like a Divine Spirit, transcendent and detached from the mortal world.

In the Empire, all who stood beneath the Celestial Emperor were but ants!

This was why everyone’s face filled with reverence whenever the Celestial Emperor was mentioned.

”This is a Holy Decree from the late Emperor!” Han Beihai stepped forward, his gaze icy as he scanned the five Dukes outside the Array. He spoke, enunciating each word with chilling clarity. ”The late Emperor declared that Celestial River Academy has rendered meritorious service to the Empire. No one, other than the Celestial Emperor himself, may forcibly enter our academy, much less apprehend anyone within it!”

”To do so would be an act of great disrespect toward the late Emperor!” Han Beihai’s tone was sharp as he glared at the Dukes before him.

”Now that the Holy Decree is here, do you still wish to enter our Celestial River Academy?”

At his words, the Dukes outside all fell silent.

Even the light from the Marquis of Eatern’s Purple Gold Waist Token seemed to dim.

Even with his Purple Gold Dragon Token, he was no match for the late Emperor’s Holy Decree.

Besides, he did not dare to offend the sacred might of a late Emperor.

Otherwise, if someone were to report him to the Celestial Emperor and he was charged with the crime of great disrespect, it would truly be the end for him.

”What should we do?” Seeing this, Marquis Yun frowned and looked toward the Marquis of Eatern.

He was clearly not willing to retreat empty-handed.

”Don’t worry. This is merely a Holy Decree from the late Emperor. I have already sent someone to request an Imperial Decree from the Empress. Once we have the Empress’s Decree, we’ll see if he still dares to defy us,” the Marquis of Eatern said in a low voice, his gaze hardening. ”Although the late Emperor’s Holy Decree is intimidating, if Celestial River Academy defies a decree from the Empress, that is also a crime of great disrespect.”

That is not a crime these people can afford to commit.
