Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Chapter 494 -493: Setting Forth

Sect Leader Yuan, Master Xuan Ji, Sect Leader Wan, and the many Elders of the Lingyun Sect were also waiting for Emperor Tang.

Finally, on a mountain peak, two Flood Dragons were seen pulling a Flying Chariot engraved with True Dragons, flying toward the main peak’s training ground of the Lingyun Sect.

On the Flying Chariot, Emperor Tang and the Empress were seated.

“Emperor Tang is here!” As the Flying Chariot appeared, shouts immediately echoed throughout the Lingyun Sect.

‘He’s finally here!’ On the Lingyun Sect’s main peak, Ling Fei’s gaze sharpened, and the blood in his veins began to boil without him even realizing it.

The Flying Chariot burst with golden light as if a True Dragon were coiled around it, emitting a vast Dragon’s Might.

Upon arriving at the main peak, Emperor Tang cast a domineering gaze over Sect Leader Yuan, Master Xuan Ji, and the others. “Fellow Daoists,” he said, “are you ready?”

“We are all prepared!” Sect Leader Yuan cupped his hands and said, “We now await Emperor Tang’s command.”

“All Cultivators who have reached the Profound Pill Realm may join me on this expedition!” Emperor Tang’s gaze was imperious, an air of supreme power radiating from him.

“We will follow Emperor Tang on his expedition!” On the main peak of the Lingyun Sect, the response thundered across the heavens and earth. The more majestic Emperor Tang appeared, the greater everyone’s confidence grew.

At this moment, they were all eager to charge straight into the enemy’s den and annihilate the Evil Cultivators of the Corpse Spirit Hall.

“Emperor Tang, are we going via the Teleportation Array?” Yuan Huaitian asked.

Even he couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe in the face of Emperor Tang’s current power.

“No!” Emperor Tang shook his head. “Since this is an expedition to vanquish Evil Demons, it should be known to the entire world, so that our countless subjects may be with us in spirit!”

“Oh!” Hearing this, Yuan Huaitian was slightly surprised, but then he understood that Emperor Tang had his own plans.

Master Xuan Ji, standing beside him, said nothing. Instead, his face was full of anticipation; it seemed he was also extremely curious about Emperor Tang’s methods.

Because he knew that everything Emperor Tang did was certainly to build momentum for the final, decisive battle.

And this was the Celestial Emperor’s Technique!

The Celestial Emperor’s Technique was very complex; it included not only Techniques, but also the hearts and minds of the people!

“I have a Commander’s Platform here. Everyone, you may ascend the platform and join me on this expedition!” The Great Tang Emperor’s eyes flashed. He flipped his palm, and with a glint of golden light, a palm-sized Commander’s Platform appeared. Dao Patterns swirled around it, and it was engraved with True Dragons, containing a supreme Celestial Might.

This was also a Supreme Treasure.

Guided by Emperor Tang’s power, the Commander’s Platform immediately burst with dazzling Light Patterns. It transformed into a massive, thousand-zhang-wide platform suspended in the air.

Enveloped by Light Patterns, the Commander’s Platform looked incredibly sacred.

“Please!” Emperor Tang gestured toward Yuan Huaitian and the others.

Yuan Huaitian and the others didn’t stand on ceremony. They took great strides and flew toward the Commander’s Platform.

Ling Fei and the others followed.

WHOOSH, WHOOSH!

In an instant, one Cultivator after another flew to the Commander’s Platform ahead.

The Commander’s Platform only looked a thousand zhang wide, but once you stepped onto it, you discovered it was incomparably vast, like being in a world of its own.

‘This Commander’s Platform is so profound!’ Ling Fei was inwardly stirred.

Not only that, but at the very front of the massive platform was a high dais.

This high dais was like a command post, with a huge True Dragon Pillar standing upon it. Atop the Dragon Pillar, a great banner billowed in the wind!

Coiled upon the banner was a Golden Dragon, and it was also inscribed with the words, “Mandated by Heaven, Serving Heaven and Accepting Destiny”!

The banner billowed in the wind, releasing a vast Celestial Might.

Emperor Tang gestured for Master Xuan Ji, Sect Leader Yuan, and the other Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses to stand on the high dais beneath the banner.

And so, Sect Leader Yuan and the others flew toward the high dais.

Ling Fei, Shangguan Wan’Er, Lian Shuang, and the others were right behind them.

As for the ordinary Cultivators, they landed below the high dais, arranged in neat formations like soldiers.

As for Emperor Tang, the Flying Chariot he rode flew to the front of the Commander’s Platform.

However, his Flying Chariot, wreathed in Dragon Patterns and interwoven with Dao Patterns, actually merged with the Commander’s Platform behind it.

It looked as though the Flying Chariot and the Commander’s Platform were originally a single treasure, connecting together perfectly.

After the Flying Chariot and the Commander’s Platform merged, Emperor Tang flipped his palm, and the Emperor’s Dragon Platform materialized before him.

Then, with a Hand Technique, he drew a stream of Emperor’s Qi from the Emperor’s Dragon Platform, which shot into the sky.

From a distance, this Emperor’s Qi looked like a Golden Dragon soaring into the heavens, disappearing into the sky and entering the Holy Decree that hovered high above.

BUZZ!

At that very moment, the Holy Decree flickered with light and shadow, and the scene at the Lingyun Sect appeared upon it.

Emperor Tang’s Dragon Chariot and the Commander’s Platform were revealed to the eyes of the world.

“It’s Emperor Tang!”

“What is that? It looks like a giant platform, and there’s even a huge banner billowing in the wind on it!”

Soon, the people saw Emperor Tang and the Commander’s Platform behind him.

“‘Mandated by Heaven, Serving Heaven and Accepting Destiny’! Is that Emperor Tang’s Emperor’s Banner?” The banner, swaying in the wind, immediately became the focus of everyone’s attention.

Although they were not on the Commander’s Platform, as they gazed at the Void and saw this banner, they too could feel an immense Celestial Might.

At the same time, the swaying of the banner made everyone feel their blood boil with excitement.

It was like a war banner, now about to lead them to conquer in all directions.

All the Southern Wilderness People were stirred.

At this moment, billions of people were looking up at the sky, watching this event unfold.

“To war!” Within the Lingyun Sect, Emperor Tang gave the order, and his Flying Chariot transformed into a long streak of light, flying toward the Void ahead.

Along with it went the Commander’s Platform from behind.

Ling Fei and the others were on the Commander’s Platform, their blood pumping, ready for the decisive battle against Kun Hai and his forces.

“People of my Southern Wilderness, any and all who are of the Profound Pill Realm or above may enter the Commander’s Platform and fight alongside me!”

As Emperor Tang steered the Commander’s Platform across the Void, his deep voice resounded.

The sound waves vibrated out from the Holy Decree in all directions, covering more than half of the Southern Wilderness Martial Arts World and reaching the ears of countless people.

“Let’s go, to the North Spirit Ruins!”

“Hurry, hurry! Emperor Tang has set out on his expedition! We must go rendezvous with him quickly!”

Throughout the Southern Wilderness Martial Arts World, many Cultivators were already on the move.

In fact, many powerhouses from the various sects had already set out yesterday.

It was just that their flying speed was slower; they couldn’t possibly compare to Emperor Tang.

Even Sect Leader Yuan and the others had to admit that the speed at which Emperor Tang’s Commander’s Platform flew was far superior to their own.

…

“So, Emperor Tang is going on his expedition?” Near the North Spirit Mountain Range, Beiming Transformation Sea and the others also sensed the fluctuation.

“Then let him come!” Kun Hai grinned, but his gaze fell upon the Kunpeng Corpse in the valley.

At this point, the deathly aura on the Kunpeng Corpse had long since dissipated, replaced by a vibrant life force. A sinister glint even flickered in its eyes.

After several days of accumulation, the Kunpeng Corpse had clearly absorbed a massive amount of Kunpeng Essence Qi. The aura it now exuded had reached an unimaginable level; even Kun Hai’s own aura in the Void was far less astonishing than that of the Kunpeng Corpse.

This made Beiming Transformation Sea and the powerhouses from the Corpse Spirit Hall eager for action, wishing Kun Hai would immediately activate the Kunpeng Corpse to fight Emperor Tang.

…

“Emperor Tang has set out on his expedition, so it is time for us to make our move.” Just as Emperor Tang began his campaign, near the Xiling Ruins in the Great Tang Empire, a sinister glint flickered in the eyes of Wei Wuya and two powerhouses from the Corpse Spirit Hall. They then flew toward the Xiling Ruins, clearly intending to help the Corpse Ancestor emerge.

In truth, they had arrived at this place long ago.

But Wei Wuya was afraid that Emperor Tang still had some tricks up his sleeve, so he hadn’t dared to act.

Now that Emperor Tang was leading an expedition in front of the whole world, even if he sensed something, could he possibly rush back to the Great Tang Empire from the Southern Wilderness Martial Arts World?

If he did, what would become of the Southern Wilderness People?

At that point, he would surely lose the hearts of all the people in the Southern Wilderness.

That was why Wei Wuya had been waiting for the moment Emperor Tang set out on his expedition to make his move.

Soon, Wei Wuya and his group arrived at the site of the Xiling Ruins.

They landed on the mountain peak opposite the mouth of the fissure.
