Chapter 299 The Holy Martial Emperor Falls

What is this place? This is a forbidden area in the deep sea.

The so-called forbidden land of the deep sea is an appendage of the forbidden land of death.

The experts at the Immortal Realm here, including the Old Dragon King, can be considered as people who can overturn the world.

Mingyu was a spy planted here by the desolate forbidden land, but she never revealed her identity.

At this moment, everyone could feel the aura of Mingyu contained within that small sword.

Since it contains the aura of Mingyu, it means that Mingyu is secretly helping Shen Bai.

Therefore, Mingyu's actions at this moment aroused suspicion among everyone.

After taking in everyone's gazes, Mingyu showed no panic on her face. Instead, she calmly met the gaze of the old Dragon King.

Shen Bai looked around and continued to grip the Cold Moon tightly in his hand.

He knew that after Mingyu gave him that small sword, there would definitely be a follow-up.

But what happened next was unexpected.

Now in a dangerous situation, Shen Bai didn't know exactly what to do.

But he wanted to observe the current situation first and see what changes might occur later.

Since Mingyu was willing to give him that small sword, it means she had considered the current situation and must have a way to break the deadlock.

The old Dragon King's tone turned extremely gloomy as he said, "Mingyu, you are also an elder of the Deep Sea Forbidden Land. Why are you interfering with their battle now? What ulterior motives do you have?"

Only the old Dragon King knows just how chaotic the so-called forbidden land of the deep sea truly is.

He thought he had everything under control today and would be able to capture Shen Bai. Then he would quietly drag Shen Bai's body away, carry out the possession, and leave the forbidden deep sea area.

But now, Mingyu's actions have made it impossible for him to leave.

He dared not make a move because the aura of the desolate forbidden land emanating from Shen Bai frightened him.

He worried that taking action would attract people from the desolate forbidden area.

Now that the only way to leave was gone, he was filled with resentment and wanted to direct it all at Mingyu.

Mingyu revealed a faint smile and said, "Everyone, the reason I helped Shen Bai to victory is because this matter concerns our method of leaving the forbidden deep sea."

Upon hearing this, the hundreds of experts at the Xiancang realm were all slightly taken aback, and then a look of urgency appeared on their faces.

The old Dragon King sneered, "What do you mean by that? We are trapped in this forbidden deep-sea area, like prisoners. We have tried every possible way to escape, but we cannot. You say we can? Then how can we escape?"

Shen Bai frowned slightly.

He felt that what Mingyu had just said did not seem to dispel the concerns of everyone present.

Upon hearing this, Mingyu shook her head slightly and said, "When this person attended the Dragon King's birthday banquet, he spoke about the situation outside. This person has a great reputation outside. If we let him leave the Deep Sea Forbidden Zone and use his identity to gather experts from all walks of life, we might be able to break the restrictions of the Deep Sea Forbidden Zone from the outside."

After these words were spoken, everyone present at the Immortal Realm fell into deep thought.

They were considering the feasibility of this method.

The old Dragon King frowned and didn't say another word.

He didn't know Mingyu's identity, nor did he know that there were spies hidden in this forbidden deep-sea area. He only thought that Mingyu really wanted to use Shen Bai to leave this prison.

"Tell me the specific steps first. If it doesn't work, you might not survive today."

The old Dragon King withdrew his gaze and said calmly.

Now that the matter of possessing Shen Bai's body is a thing of the past, he also wants to see if he can take this opportunity to leave this place.

Mingyu smiled slightly and slowly said, "Look what this is?"

In Mingyu's palm, a round bead about the size of a thumb appeared, its surface shimmering with an intermittent light.

Everyone was slightly stunned after Mingyu took out the bead in her hand.

Immediately afterwards, someone who knew its value shouted it out.

"This is a restriction bead, I understand what you mean."

Not only did he understand, but everyone else also knew exactly what Mingyu wanted to do.

The old Dragon King pondered for a moment and said, "You want to use the restriction bead to imprison him and let him go out to find someone to help you break the deep sea forbidden zone."

Shen Bai frowned upon hearing their conversation.

Judging from the surface, he had already understood the meaning of their conversation.

This thing is definitely not a good thing. It should be able to control others, thereby controlling oneself and making oneself go to the outside world to help the Deep Sea Forbidden Land get reinforcements, which could solve the problem of the Deep Sea Forbidden Land being trapped.

Mingyu nodded and said, "If we can control him with this bead, I can control all his activities in the outside world."

"If he is unwilling to find someone to break through the restrictions of the deep sea forbidden zone, then I can make him wish he were dead."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.

Everyone was wondering whether Mingyu's move could break the deadlock.

Ever since Mingyu said what followed, the old Dragon King had been pondering.

He was wondering whether he had made a profit or a loss on this trip.

He didn't know that Mingyu was a spy, so when Mingyu took out the stillness bead, he already somewhat believed what Mingyu was doing.

But his original idea was to possess Shen Bai's body, so that he could not only get out, but also use Shen Bai's talent to reach the pinnacle of the world.

There's no way to rely on Shen Bai's talent right now, but according to Mingyu, it seems we can still get out.

After a long while, the old Dragon King nodded and said.

"Okay, have him take the restriction bead."

The group didn't shy away from talking about Shen Bai, because they knew that in his current state, escaping would be nearly impossible.

Since there was no way to escape, we had no choice but to do as they told us to do.

Mingyu nodded, and then walked towards Shen Bai.

When no one could see her, she quietly gave Shen Bai a wink.

Shen Bai understood what Mingyu meant by giving him that look.

This means there's a way to get him out safely.

First of all, Mingyu is a spy in the desolate forbidden area and is on Shen Bai's side.

Today, Shen Bai killed Yun Lan with Ming Yu's help, so it's impossible for him to escape safely.

The excuse Mingyu is using now can be said to have struck a chord with everyone present.

Shen Bai is useful to them, and Ming Yu can control Shen Bai, which means that Shen Bai can leave safely, and Ming Yu's identity will not be exposed.

Mingyu walked up to Shen Bai, raised the restriction bead, and said, "If you know what's good for you, swallow it to avoid further suffering. If you don't, you will suffer unimaginable pain."

As she spoke these words, her aura gradually intensified.

The aura of the Immortal Realm was as overwhelming as the ocean.

If you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way, and Mingyu naturally did it very convincingly.

Shen Bai felt the oppressive aura emanating from Ming Yu, his face darkening. He then picked up the restriction bead and swallowed it.

After this action was taken, all the experts at the Immortal Realm present breathed a sigh of relief.

This means they have hope of getting out.

The restrictions on the Deep Sea Forbidden Zone were imposed by the Desolate Forbidden Zone itself, making it impossible to breach from within, but that doesn't mean the exterior remains impenetrable.

With this method, their chances of getting out have greatly increased.

Mingyu turned her head and said, "Dragon King, send Shen Bai out. After he's sent out, he will follow my instructions to fetch reinforcements."

"By then, we will be able to emerge from this forbidden deep-sea area."

Having said all that, the old Dragon King knew that this was the only path he could take, and then waved his hand towards the space in front of him.

The next moment, a deep crack appeared in this space.

As the cracks continued to widen, they became a large hole that one person could pass through.

The old Dragon King stared coldly at Shen Bai and said, "Boy, after you get out, do as Mingyu says. If we escape from here, we will give you a great reward. If you fail to escape, you will die a horrible death."

Shen Bai remained silent, then feigned a hint of hatred in his eyes.

Since Mingyu has started acting, I have to act too.

If you act expressionless now, the other person might have other ideas, so you might as well act more convincingly.

The old Dragon King took in the hatred in Shen Bai's eyes, and the last trace of doubt in his heart completely disappeared.

Shen Bai said no more and turned to walk out of the space.

Then, the pitch-black hole disappeared completely, and the forbidden deep-sea area fell into tranquility.

……

Shen Bai felt the scenery before him blur for a moment, and when it gradually became clear, he had returned to the starting point.

Ahead lay a distorted space, signifying that the forbidden zone of the deep sea remained.

Just as he was pondering what to do next, a burst of light appeared within his body.

The round bead that he had just swallowed appeared before Shen Bai's eyes through his body.

After a flash of light, a phantom image of Mingyu appeared.

The next moment, the illusory figure in front of them slowly spoke.

"Shen Bai, don't speak now. What you see is just a photo of me."

"After leaving the Forbidden Deep Sea, hurry to the Great Zhou Kingdom, find the powerful figures there, enter the Forbidden Deep Sea, and wipe out everyone in this forbidden area."

"Those from the desolate forbidden land cannot make a move, because if they do, the death forbidden land will sense it."

"But if someone from outside makes the move, the people in the Forbidden Zone of Death may not be able to sense it."

"Killing everyone in the deep-sea forbidden zone would deprive the chaotic organization of its most powerful support, bringing unimaginable benefits to the four countries."

Mingyu spoke very quickly, giving Shen Bai no time to react.

After he finished speaking, the illusory figure in front of him completely disappeared.

After pondering Mingyu's words, Shen Bai then used his Divine Speed ​​Technique, transforming into a series of afterimages as he flew towards Xuanjing City.

If we're talking about the Great Zhou Kingdom, who can reliably control the forbidden deep-sea area? It's undoubtedly the high-ranking officials of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Soon, the empty place was deserted.

……

In the royal palace, in the royal study.

After recounting his experiences, Shen Bai put down his teacup and looked at the Holy Martial Emperor in front of him.

The Holy Martial Emperor's face was as pale as paper, and he coughed violently every now and then. His handkerchief was already stained with traces of blood.

"Someone is coming."

He simply said two words. Eunuch Chen pushed open the door and entered the room, his back hunched.

Emperor Shengwu glanced at Eunuch Chen and continued, "Send a few men to level the Deep Sea Forbidden Land. Remember, I need everyone except those from the Desolate Forbidden Land."

The news that Shen Bai just brought back is of great importance, and the Holy Martial Emperor knows that it should not be underestimated.

After all, once he enters the desolate forbidden land, the place will fall into turmoil. Eliminating an unstable factor would be the best thing.

Eunuch Chen nodded: "If I go personally, along with the Chief Commander, it will be enough to wipe out the entire Deep Sea Forbidden Zone."

As one of the top experts in the Great Zhou Kingdom, he naturally overheard the conversation between Shen Bai and the Holy Martial Emperor while he was outside, and understood that this mission was of great importance.

So he personally led the two of them, including the commander.

With Eunuch Chen and the Chief Commander personally leading the charge, the mission is sure to be a success.

After a moment's thought, Shen Bai asked, "Would you like me to come along?"

Eunuch Chen shook his head and said, "The world is in chaos right now, and you've just dealt with Marquis Moyun and his wife. You should rest for a while."

Shen Bai felt that what Eunuch Chen said was not wrong.

After this battle, Shen Bai realized that he was still quite far from being one of the world's true top masters.

He planned to use these ten days or so to grind his proficiency, and then wait for the Holy Martial Emperor to enter the desolate forbidden land.

Without saying anything more, Eunuch Chen turned and left.

Only Emperor Shengwu and Shen Bai remained.

The Holy Martial Emperor asked, "Should we stay in Xuanjing City?"

Shen Bai nodded and asked, "Your Majesty, if I go to the desolate forbidden land, shall I return to Qian Yuan Capital?"

Before coming to Xuanjing City, Shen Bai was still the head of the Qian Yuan Jing Tian Jian Si (the Imperial Observatory of Heaven).

He was also very curious about what arrangements would be made after the Holy Martial Emperor entered the desolate forbidden area.

Emperor Shengwu shook his head and said, "There is nothing to worry about there now. Someone will be there to guard it. As for what the arrangements will be, you will know before I enter the desolate forbidden area."

Shen Bai stood up and said, "In that case, I'll go back and rest."

Now that there's nothing else to do, all he wants to do is go back to his residence in the palace and grind his skill level.

Afterwards, Shen Bai left the Imperial Study and returned to his residence in the palace.

This place is spotless; even if I go to Moyunjing, there will still be people dedicated to cleaning it.

After returning, Shen Bai didn't ramble on.

Before his eyes appeared all his supernatural powers and attributes.

Looking at the rows of supernatural abilities before him, Shen Bai pondered for a moment and decided to upgrade them one by one to level eight.

Now, he plans to first enhance his flawless divine soul body.

In recent battles, Shen Bai realized that his defensive abilities were becoming outdated and could no longer defend against many attacks.

The situation is about to become turbulent again, so improving defensive abilities will allow me to avoid many dangers in future battles.

"Ten days is not enough time to know how much I can improve, but even a little improvement is still a little improvement."

After making up his mind, Shen Bai no longer hesitated and started working hard.

Before my eyes, the smoke gradually condensed.

With the blessing of amber, the proficiency is slowly but steadily increasing.

……

Time passes gradually.

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.

At this moment, the Great Zhou Kingdom was as calm as the sea without wind. In this peaceful atmosphere, however, everyone felt a deep-seated fear.

Recently, Shen Bai has been grinding away at improving his proficiency with the Flawless Divine Soul Body. He's been working on it day and night, and he's already completed half of the progress.

However, it is still a long way from being upgraded to level eight.

Today, Shen Bai stopped his plans to grind for more proficiency and slowly walked out of the room.

At this moment, the entire palace fell into an extremely silent state.

Anyone who knows the current situation knows that the Holy Martial Emperor is about to enter the desolate forbidden land.

Not long ago, the forbidden area in the deep sea was completely wiped out by Eunuch Chen and the Chief Commander.

The old Dragon King and the hundreds of experts at the Immortal Realm all turned into ashes.

Mingyu emerged from the forbidden deep sea, but did not linger. She immediately returned to the desolate forbidden area, without even staying in the imperial palace of the Great Zhou Kingdom, nor did she come to see Shen Bai.

No one knows why she was in such a hurry.

Shen Bai didn't care about this.

Today is the day when the Holy Martial Emperor steps into the desolate forbidden land, so Shen Bai naturally will not continue to grind for proficiency.

Just as Shen Bai stepped out of the room, a violent ripple suddenly occurred in one direction of the palace.

The terrifying aftershocks shook the entire palace, causing those of slightly lower strength to kneel on the ground.

Shen Bai looked toward the direction from which the terrifying fluctuations were coming, and focused his mind slightly.

That's where the Hall of Heavenly Pride is located.

He had been to the Hall of Heavenly Pride, so he naturally knew where it was.

After a moment's thought, Shen Bai used his Divine Speed ​​to travel thousands of miles towards the location of the Heavenly Pride Palace.

Emperor Shengwu had previously stated that when entering the desolate forbidden area, the emperor of the previous dynasty should be dragged down with him to alleviate the disaster for the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Today, he is naturally going to witness this battle.

The Hall of Pride is currently suspended in mid-air.

Marshal Yang, one of the top experts in the Great Zhou Kingdom, is in charge of opening and closing the Hall of Pride.

He raised his head, looked at the illusory figure gathering in the Hall of Heavenly Pride, and sighed softly.

Not only him, but also Eunuch Chen, the Chief Commander, the Prime Minister, and the Dean have all gathered here.

They all stared solemnly at the Hall of Pride, without uttering a word.

Shen Bai descended from the sky and landed beside Eunuch Chen without saying a word.

Above the Hall of Pride, the phantom gradually coalesced, transforming into a tall and imposing man.

The man possessed an air of royal nobility, but in addition to that, he was also filled with a terrifying sense of rage.

The previous emperor was extremely cruel and brutal to the people.

That is why the previous dynasty was overthrown by the Great Zhou.

Today, he was hiding in the Hall of Heavenly Pride, but he felt a pulling force emanating from the Hall of Heavenly Pride, which forcibly pulled him out alive.

He knew that it was the Holy Martial Emperor who had made the move.

"I never imagined that I had hidden myself so well, yet you still managed to find a way to force me to reveal it."

"Since that's the case, Holy Martial Emperor, come out and fight me, and see who lives and who dies."

The former emperor stood with his hands behind his back, his dragon robe fluttering as it changed from yellow to black.

Just after the former emperor uttered these words, a tremendous dragon's might erupted from the imperial study.

At the same time, the Holy Martial Emperor, dressed in a long robe, hovered above the Imperial Study and took a step forward.

At this moment, the majesty emanating from the Holy Martial Emperor radiated outwards like a monstrous wave.

Many of the guards hidden in the shadows knelt down on the ground.

Emperor Shengwu simply took a step forward, instantly closing countless distances and arriving before the former emperor.

Seeing this, the former emperor sneered, "You don't have much time left, so you want to drag me down with you. But with your crippled body, how can you possibly be my enemy?"

"Today, I will kill you and take your place. This vast Zhou Kingdom will be my domain."

The Holy Martial Emperor stared at the former emperor, his tone extremely cold: "You are tyrannical and should have died long ago. Don't you find it a bit boring to have lived this long?"

"Why should those who merely survive bark like stray dogs?"

"How dare you! You are nothing but a commoner who has only attained such a position due to good fortune. Today, you dare to disobey me, and I will take your head."

The former emperor raised his palm and pressed it down on the Holy Martial Emperor.

The clouds in the sky converged into a giant hand, as if to annihilate the Holy Martial Emperor here.

Facing this terrifying giant hand, the Holy Martial Emperor pointed a finger into the air.

A golden dragon appeared, and then it shattered the giant hand in the sky.

But at that moment, the Holy Martial Emperor's face turned pale again, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Upon seeing this, the former emperor laughed heartily: "You're finished! You're doomed today!"

The Holy Martial Emperor revealed a cold smile and suddenly made a move.

In the sky, the figure of the Holy Martial Emperor disappeared from the spot.

Immediately afterwards, a sense of desolation began to spread.

"I have used the dragon's aura to summon the desolate forbidden land. Today, you will be plunged into the desolation with me."
