Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 152 Changes in the situation
Seven days later, Emperor Yi walked out of the Sword Pavilion with the other saints.

As a member of the realm, Ziqian, along with the other eight members, was taken away by the female saint of the imperial court and brought to the central imperial city to receive the investiture from Empress Chiyao.

The talented woman of the Sacred Book did not appear, which clearly indicates that the inheritance related to the Dao of Origin is rare even in the imperial court, and is certainly not something that the talented woman of the Sacred Book could easily access.

Stepping out of the Liangyi Sect, without the concealment of the array, Di Yi saw the Fallen God Mountain Range in the distance. Compared to seven days ago, the Fallen God Mountain Range now exuded a heavy yin energy, making people feel uncomfortable even from afar.

Emperor Yi summoned Emperor Xi and Emperor Wu with a communication talisman and inquired about the recent changes in the Fallen God Mountain Range.

Di Xi said, "The passage between the Yin and Yang realms deep within the Fallen God's Tomb Forest is becoming increasingly weak. Many spirits from the underworld have already broken out of the Fallen God's Tomb Forest and clashed with the powerful figures of the Kunlun Realm."

"An older generation of semi-saints ventured into the underworld, but none returned. However, they brought back news related to a miraculous medicine that could bring the dead back to life. A nearly two-hundred-year-old quasi-saint from the Xi Sheng clan found a divine fruit in the underworld. After consuming it, his vital energy was restored to its peak, and it is said that he has already become a saint in the underworld."

……

A lot happened in just seven days.

Although the passage between the Yin and Yang realms was opened, the news of the miraculous medicine for reviving the dead led to a large gathering of powerful figures from the Kunlun Realm in the Fallen God Mountains. As a result, the spirits of the underworld suffered several losses and were unable to invade the Kunlun Realm on a large scale.

The news that the aging Quasi-Saint of the Xi Sheng Clan had found the Divine Stubborn Fruit and become a Saint was undoubtedly a bombshell, dispelling the last concerns of countless powerful individuals who had come seeking the miraculous medicine to revive the dead.

According to Di Xi alone, no fewer than twenty Kunlun Realm Saints have entered the Underworld, including Saints from the Black Market.

The Black Market Saint who is nearing the end of his lifespan is not just the Yellow Spring Saint; the ten major sects of the Eastern Evil Land can easily muster at least seven or eight of them.

Twenty saints are probably just the beginning.

“Besides the Fallen God Tomb Forest, holy wars also break out from time to time deep in the Fallen God Mountains. It is said that several academy masters of the Eastern Region Holy Academy are fighting against the Blood Saint of the Undying Blood Clan. Saints from the Eastern Region Holy King’s Mansion are also participating in the battle,” Di Wu said.

The underworld, the Death Zen Cult, the Undying Blood Clan, the Eastern Domain Holy Academy, the Eastern Domain Holy King's Mansion... the intertwining of various forces has turned the area where the Fallen God Mountains and the Two Elements Sect are located into a giant powder keg.

Di Yi sensed an uneasy atmosphere and didn't want to linger any longer.

……

A black Qilin chariot swept past the edge of Shentai City.

Yin Yue sat on the carriage frame, holding a long whip, and drove towards the Black Market First-Class Hall's stronghold in the Fallen God Mountains.

Di Yi sat in the carriage, his expression slightly solemn, facing the Nascent Soul Half-Saint, looking at the intelligence gathering from all directions.

The two half-saints from the Di family were also sitting in the car, analyzing the current situation.

"Still no news of the Hall Master and the Saints of the First-Class Hall. Not only them, but all the Saints of the Black Market seem to have disappeared. We can't get in touch with them at all." The Nascent Soul Half-Saint put down the communication talisman. This was the twentieth communication talisman they had received in half a day.

The result was the same: the saints of the black market had all disappeared without a trace, for reasons unknown.

Di Yi asked, "Is there any news from Sage Yuan Yi and Sage Ghost Sword?"

Both Yuan Yi Saint and Ghost Sword Saint are sword saints in the black market. This time, they entered the seventh floor of the Sword Pavilion to comprehend the wordless sword manual and left the Liangyi Sect almost one after the other with Di Yi.

"The two saints did not reply, but a disciple of the First-Rank Hall spotted them 80,000 li north of Shentai City. There were saints fighting against them. They were Saint Xu of the Xu Saint Clan and Saint Changhua of the Eastern Region Saint King's Mansion," said the Nascent Soul Half-Saint.

Emperor Yi's expression grew increasingly solemn. He couldn't contact the head of the First-Rank Hall, and the two Sword Saints had just left the Two Elements Sect when they were entangled by Saint Xu and Saint Changhua. The situation was not quite right.

Centered on the Fallen God Mountain Range, it seems that an invisible net has already been cast, vaguely heading towards the black market.

If the saints of the Eastern Divine Land join forces to deal with the Black Market, they could catch it off guard.

With the saints restrained, what will happen next?
Why can black market martial artists below the Saint level still be contacted? Is it because they are not valuable enough, or is it because they haven't waited for the most valuable big fish?

In the Eastern Black Market, beneath the sacred realm, who is the biggest fish?
"Change direction and head to the Fallen God's Tomb Forest. Don't go back to the stronghold in the Fallen God Mountains."

Below the Holy Realm, Emperor Yi was the biggest fish in the black market.

……

The Bi'an warship was transferred from the Feathered Army camp by the Eastern Region Holy King's Palace to serve as the flagship for this battle in the Fallen God Mountains.

This ship was personally supervised by Chen Yuhua, the Heavenly King of the Eastern Region, when he was in charge of the Yuhua Army. It was used to attack the barbaric lands of the Eastern Region and eliminate the threat of wild beasts.

It was extremely majestic, like a savage beast king, suspended above the nine heavens thunderclouds of the Fallen God Mountain Range, letting the fierce winds of the nine heavens blow by. The height of the warship alone exceeded ten miles, like a divine mountain suspended in the sky.

Back then, Chen Yuhua, the Heavenly King of the Eastern Region, used this warship to gather the power of the Hundred Saints of the Eastern Region and the Yuhua Army, and fought a seven-day battle against the overlord of the Xuanhuang Realm, the Azure Heaven Holy Dragon, and finally defeated him.

The fact that even warships of this caliber were mobilized demonstrates the importance the Eastern Region Holy King's Palace attaches to this battle.

King Chen Yin of the Eastern Region and Chen Wutian, the number one genius of the Chen family, stood at the bow of the ship, their saintly auras undisguised.

Surrounding the Bi'an warship were more than a dozen other warships of various sizes. In addition to the Chen family of the Eastern Region Holy King's Mansion making a large-scale mobilization, various forces under the Chen family also rushed over.

When Chen Yuhua helped Empress Chi Yao establish her rule in the Eastern Region, she had thirty-six holy generals under her command.

Centuries have passed, and of the original thirty-six holy generals, only four or five remain alive. Of their descendants, only thirteen branches still prosper, known as the 'Thirteen Ascended Clans'. On one of the warships, an old man with white hair flew over, landed on the bow deck, and bowed to Chen Yin.

"Cheng Wanli, a half-human named Tianpeng, pays respects to the King of the Eastern Region."

"Senior Cheng, please don't flatter me. You were one of the thirty-six holy generals who fought alongside our ancestor Yu Hua in the Eastern Region. How can I accept your bow?"

Cheng Wanli has lived for seven hundred years and is the youngest of the thirty-six holy generals. Because he is a half-human, his lifespan is longer than that of ordinary human saints.

"The proper etiquette cannot be disregarded. The Tianpeng half-human race is a vassal of the Chen family, and the King of the Eastern Region is the head of the Chen family. They naturally deserve my bow."

Seeing this, Chen Yin did not press the matter further. Looking at the old man before him, he said, "The purpose of this trip to the Fallen God Mountains is only one: to obtain the miraculous medicine for resurrection from the underworld. Senior Cheng, as the leader of the first group of saints to enter the underworld, is there anything else that I need to do?"

Cheng Wanli smiled and shook his head, his tone calm: "If it weren't for the life-extending medicines that Your Highness has sent over the years, I wouldn't be alive today. Since Your Highness needs a miraculous medicine to bring the dead back to life, I will naturally do my duty. After I go, I believe the King of the Eastern Region will also help me take good care of the Tianpeng half-human race."

The "prince" he referred to was not Chen Yin; the only person he could address as such was Chen Yuhua, the Heavenly King of the Eastern Region.

"By the way, the Xu family has a history with my clan. Xu Sheng came to see me once before, asking me for a favor. I hope the King of the Eastern Region will grant my request."

"Senior Cheng, please speak freely."

"He asked me to borrow men to deal with the young master of the Black Market First-Class Hall. Although the Tianpeng Half-Human Race doesn't have a dazzling descendant like Young Master Wutian, they still have a few capable Half-Saints. I plan to have them go and lend a hand," Cheng Wanli said.

Chen Yin agreed without any hesitation.

"Just dealing with a junior? That's easy. Wutian, you handle this personally."

Chen Wutian was taken aback. He was being asked to deal with a half-saint?
Although I was somewhat unwilling, I had no choice but to agree.

"Yes."

……

Silver Moon, riding the Black Kirin Chariot, sped towards the Fallen God's Tomb Forest, disregarding the chaotic nature of the area. In reality, the more people there were, the safer it was.

Emperor Yi sat in the carriage, took out the Four Symbols Holy Sword, placed it on his lap, and used holy energy and holy thoughts to refine it, enhancing the compatibility between man and sword.

After traveling more than a thousand miles, the vehicle suddenly wobbled and then came to a stop.

Silver Moon tossed aside the long whip in her hand and replaced it with the sacred spear. Standing on the carriage, she looked ahead, her expression becoming solemn.

Two elderly men blocked the path of the Mo Qilin vehicle.

It was Xu Jianshen and Xu Jianhai whom I had seen outside Shentai City that day.

Besides them, figures with cultivation levels reaching the semi-saint realm gathered from all directions. Some belonged to the Xu Saint Clan, while others belonged to the Eastern Domain Sacred Academy and other saintly clans of the Eastern Domain Sacred City.

Xu Jianshen and Xu Jianhai unleashed the Kunpeng phenomenon from the Kunpeng Martial Canon, along with the holy might of a ninth-order half-saint, crushing towards the Mo Qilin chariot.

The golden and black holy energy condensed in the void into two completely different oceans, which was quite terrifying.

Silver Moon's cultivation level was only second-tier half-saint. Facing the holy will of two ninth-tier half-saints, he was under immense pressure, and his arm holding the spear was trembling slightly.

Emperor Yi carried the Four Symbols Holy Sword on his back and stepped out of the Mo Qilin carriage. The four swords manifested the four symbols of earth, fire, water, and wind, blocking the holy might of Xu Jianshen and Xu Jianhai.

Behind him, A-Le, Han Qiu, Zi Yuan, Ye Honglei, Qingyi Star Envoy, Zifeng Star Envoy, Di Yan in human form, as well as the Nascent Soul Half-Saint and the two Half-Saints of the Di family walked out together.

Some wield swords, some carry guns, some wear claws...

Their cultivation levels were all at the Half-Saint level. The Nascent Soul Half-Saint and the two Half-Saints from the Di family had all received a Saint Source from Di Yi, and in a short period of time, they had already entered the ranks of high-level Half-Saints.

Although Ah Le and the others were not highly skilled, they were very strong, and their combat power should not be measured by ordinary cultivation levels.

"Leave these two old geezers from the Xu family to me; the rest are yours to deal with."

Di Yi spoke calmly, stepped off the carriage, and walked towards Xu Jianshen and Xu Jianhai.

Even when their blood and energy were depleted and their combat power was not at its peak, the two ninth-level half-saints were still beyond the reach of others. Only he himself could take action to fight them.

Xu Jianshen and Xu Jianhai smiled, certain that today was the end of Emperor Yi. All the saints in the black market were restrained. If they could not eliminate Emperor Yi and avenge their previous humiliation in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, they would not need to return alive to see Saint Xu.

Di Yi's cultivation level is at most only a fourth-level half-saint, and it is impossible for him to cross five realms and fight against a ninth-level half-saint.

Therefore, they appeared very relaxed and confident.

Xu Jianhai was dressed in a blue and white cloth robe that had faded from washing. He exuded a heavy, gloomy aura and even a rotten smell. He stood in the void with one hand behind his back, looking down at Di Yi and the group of heroes from the black market below.

"These are all exceptional talents, rare to find in ten years. They all have the potential to become saints in the future. It's a pity that they all have to die here today."

Xu Jianshen sensed the sharp sword intent emanating from Di Yi, his expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Make your move, and wipe out this generation of the Black Market today."
