Primal Thunderbolts appeared, although the sky and earth remained unaffected, the dimensional rifts within the Leichi Heaven, as well as some worlds closer by, all trembled slightly."Go!"A bolt of lig...Not only did Ji Kongfan sense that the sudden surge of terrifying aura came from an Emperor, but at this moment, all the cultivators present in this area also sensed it.

And they were even more clear than Ji Kongfan that this was indeed—the Emperor himself! This Imperial War Remnant, although left behind after the Emperor's battle, was precisely because of this that it couldn't bear the Emperor's aura at all. That's why it was now on the verge of collapse.

However, everyone is unable to raise their heads, unable to see, and even their divine consciousness cannot be used.

They could only feel a figure passing over them, coming to the edge of that spatial rift.

Everyone's feelings are valid.

At this moment, atop the spatial rift, stood a young man in black. His hands were clasped behind his back, and his gaze calmly fixed on the rift.

"Boom!"

Just then, another earth-shattering boom echoed from within the spatial rift that had been violently pulsating for half the day.

The entrance to the fissure, with a deafening roar, began to rapidly close.

The man in black raised the corner of his mouth and spoke slowly, "An old friend has come. Even though the emperor doesn't open the door to welcome guests, how could he be so eager to shut himself off"

"Could it be that Your Majesty has some secret you don't want me to know!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, the man raised his hand and waved it gently.

Instantly, the crack ceased to close.

The man smiled faintly again, raised his leg and took a step forward, preparing to enter, when the crack suddenly shuddered violently once more.

Although it did not continue to close, it suddenly collapsed and vanished into nothingness.

This caused a look of surprise to flash across the man's face. He retracted his raised foot and said, "Just a mere skin sack, yet it can withstand my power."

"This matter is rather strange!"

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

At this time, the entire ruins' three-layered space was shaking even more violently.

The man glanced around and sighed helplessly, "The space here is too fragile, I can't stay here for long."

"Huanxu must have seen this point, so he acted with impunity, deliberately making such a big commotion here. Even if I and my people come personally, it will be difficult to thoroughly investigate the matter."

However, the Xuanyuan clan has always been brave but lacking in strategy.

"Logically speaking, with his intelligence, he shouldn't have been able to come up with such a complex plan."

"Could it be that after being locked up for so many years, his mind has actually become sharper"

"There must be something strange going on!"

He shook his head, turned around, and walked toward the empty sky above. With one step, he vanished without a trace.

Right after, above the gigantic abyss leading to the Emperor War Ruins, the figure of the man in black appeared.

In the abyss, a gust of black wind suddenly surged into the sky and landed beside the man, transforming into a ferocious-looking woman in black. She was the demon elder sister who had accompanied Zhu Shao when he brought Jiang Yun to this place before, jokingly saying that she would come out to greet guests.

At this moment, the powerful demon race expert was no longer as unrestrained as he was when facing the younger generation. He knelt directly before the man, his face filled with fear. "I don't know that Emperor Xing has arrived, Demon..." Before the woman could finish her sentence, the man interrupted with a smile, "There's no need to be afraid. If you knew of my arrival, then it would be me sitting here, not you!"

The woman lowered her head and wouldn't even meet his gaze.

The man continued, "You're just in time. I need to speak with you."

The woman hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please speak."

From now on, completely seal off the third and fourth floors of the ruins. Only entry is allowed, no exit.

Especially now that cultivators are inside, no matter their status, they are not to be allowed to leave or cross over to other layers.

"Right, let them all go and farm."

Within a year, I shall have the ruins of the three or four layers cleansed. No more bloodstains shall stain this land.

"

During the process, if you encounter anything unusual, report it immediately!

"

The black-clad woman's heart trembled. Since the Emperor Battle Remnant appeared, this was the first time she had been asked to seal it.

Although she didn't know what had happened, she could only answer, "Yes!"

"Alright!"

The man let out a breath and said, "There's nothing else going on, I'm leaving."

The woman bowed her head and said, "Farewell, Emperor!"

"That's right!"

The man suddenly bent down, reaching up to cup the woman's chin and said, "I almost forgot what was important."

As the man held her chin, the woman in black froze instantly, not daring to move. Only fear filled her eyes as she stared at the man.

The man smiled and said, "You're in charge of guarding the ruins, but such a big thing happened, and you didn't know anything about it I even had to come here myself. What use are you to me"

"Treason is punishable by death."

"However, for the sake of your father, I'll spare your life. I'll only cut off one of your ears as punishment!"

As his words fell, the man loosened his grip on the woman's chin and, with a blade-like finger, slowly sliced toward her right ear.

Suddenly, blood gushed out! The woman remained motionless, allowing the other party to cut off her ear.

The man threw his ear to the woman and whispered in her ear, "If I knew you used magic to restore your ears, I would cut off the ears of all your clan."

After uttering those words, the man suddenly burst into laughter. Then, he turned around, took a step, and vanished without a trace.

The woman in black remained kneeling on the ground, her hand clutching her own bloody ear. Her body trembled slightly as she closed her eyes.

At this moment, her heart was filled with immense anger and grievance.

Although she was indeed stationed at the ruins, even the Emperor couldn't know everything that happened inside them all the time, so there was no way I could.

However, she also knew that she had encountered the Emperor of Punishment. There was no reason to speak with him.

Meanwhile, near the spatial rift on the third layer of the ruins, everyone finally regained their freedom of movement.

Although they all know that the Emperor had been here, no one saw him or heard his voice. They could only guess that the Emperor came because of the spatial rift.

Now that the spatial rift has disappeared, the Emperor has naturally also left.

Just as they were about to leave, a voice rang out in their ears—the voice of the woman in black.

"The Emperor's decree…" After hearing the Emperor's command, everyone was stunned. They never expected that from this moment on, they would all be confined to these three levels.

Especially, one still needs to go through the task of opening up wasteland areas! This is no longer a trial, it's clearly treating themselves and others like slaves! But just like the woman in black who sits in the ruins, even though they have dissatisfaction in their hearts, since this order comes from the Emperor Xing, they dare not complain at all.

They had all heard stories about Emperor Xing's exploits; he was a rather "eccentric" emperor! Ji Kongfan rarely furrowed his brow, but a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes as he said, "I find Emperor Xing's aura... somewhat familiar."

"Back then, did he ever go to the Sea of Mountains and Seas"

After a moment of thought, Ji Kongfan was unsure and didn't continue to delve deeper. Instead, he turned his gaze to where the space rift had disappeared and said, "The disappearance of an emperor who cultivated physical power has attracted an executioner emperor."

"Ginger Cloud, Ginger Cloud, the people you're associating with are getting more and more high-class!"

"I just don't know, whether this is a blessing or a curse for you!"

Shaking his head, Ji Kongfan quickened his pace and stepped into the transmission array of Anyang City.

He didn't care at all about not being able to leave the third level of the ruins.

Anyway, to him, it's all the same.

Other cultivators could only leave one by one, to go and find suitable land for cultivation.

The chaotic realm, an unknown place, witnessed the appearance of the Emperor of Punishment.

Here, hidden lies the entrance to the Four Realms' Vault.

Looking at the nothingness ahead, Emperor Xing was about to make a move and summon a portal, but his raised palm suddenly stopped in mid-air. He muttered to himself, "Anyway, I've already come out. There's nothing much to go back for."

Why not take a detour to see how that powerful being of the Dao Realm is doing now!ies have been opened, each located in a different place.Among them, there was a passage near Dongli City."And the mountain spirits and the Siren women, they have indeed visited this Dongli City. There...
