I'm the emperor from the start, and you want me to keep the three-year agreement?

“A Soul Stone... shattered?”

“How is that possible? Did I buy a fake?”

On the shores of the Soul Severing Sea, the cultivators, upon seeing the sea split open, hurriedly took out Soul Stones to record the event.

This was a bizarre scene that hadn't occurred in thousands of years!

If there were a 'Moments' feature, it would definitely be pinned to the top.

However, just as they took out their Soul Stones to record the scene...

Bang, bang, bang!

One by one, the Soul Stones instantly exploded, the shattered fragments flying in all directions.

“Why is this happening?”

The cultivators looked perplexed.

An old man said in a deep voice, “Are you all idiots?”

“On the other side of the sea is a Great Emperor!”

“Unless the Great Emperor willingly allows it, the Soul Stone cannot record anything. If you forcefully record, you'll be tainted by karma. It won't just be the stone that shatters, but you yourselves!”

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.

A chubby young man smiled and said, “So, we just weren't doing it right.”

“I'll just record this young man and the divided sea. That should be okay, right?”

With that, the chubby young man took out a golden Soul Stone, “I spent a fortune on this. It can preserve images for a thousand years. When I'm old, I'll show it to my descendants.”

The golden Soul Stone emitted rays of light, wanting to record the surrounding scene.

But, the next moment...

Only a 'crack' was heard.

First, a crack appeared on the Soul Stone, and then the crack grew larger and larger, becoming as dense as a spider web.

In the end...

Bang!

The Soul Stone completely shattered.

“Damn it!”

The chubby young man's hand was pierced by the shattered Soul Stone, causing him to stomp his feet in pain.

Sucking the blood from his finger, the chubby young man covered his hand and looked at Lin Ning on the sea in horror.

The people around him had the same reaction as the chubby young man.

“This... the Soul Stone shattered when it shone on him?”

“Could it be that he is also a Great Emperor?”

The cultivators' scalps went numb, and they stood frozen in place as if petrified.

“How is that possible? An eighteen-year-old Great Emperor?”

“The youngest Great Emperor in the Desolate Ancient Continent, the most talented Great Emperor?”

“No wonder he dared to say he would cross the sea. So, he really is a Great Emperor!”

“A human Great Emperor with unlimited potential! Another prodigy for our human race!”

Speaking of this, the old man's expression suddenly changed.

“That's not right! Why would our prodigy go to Soul Severing Mountain? Could it be that he's going to defect to the demon race?”

“Impossible!”

Hearing the old man's words, the human cultivators felt deeply uneasy.

“He said he had something to do in Soul Severing Mountain. I'm sure he's going there to vanquish demons! This is the duty of a human Great Emperor!”

“Vanquish demons?” A man with his hands in his pockets sneered, “That's easier said than done. The one in front is the Demon Heart Emperor. There are still a bunch of Great Emperors inside Soul Severing Mountain.”

“Although this young man is a human Great Emperor, entering Soul Severing Mountain at this time is just courting death!”

On the Soul Severing Sea.

Looking at the distant, floating Soul Severing Mountain, Lin Ning frowned slightly.

Damn it.

How many years has it been since I've walked this far?

How long will it take to get to Soul Severing Mountain?

Lin Ning felt very unhappy. He had been walking for a long time and found that he had only taken a few steps. At this rate, it would be dark by the time he got to Soul Severing Mountain.

“Flying is prohibited?”

“A rule between Great Emperors?”

Lin Ning sneered, “Today, I'll see if the rules between Great Emperors can restrict me!”

With that, Lin Ning stomped his feet.

A terrifying force surged up from the soles of his feet, and Lin Ning's body leaped high into the air, his entire person suspended in the sky.

Instantly.

The blue sky instantly turned dark, and dark clouds rolled in from the distance, the power of world-destroying lightning gathering on the dark clouds.

Deafening thunder echoed across the sky, reverberating throughout the world.

Looking at Lin Ning flying in the sky, Demon Heart couldn't help but take off the ghost mask on his face, revealing a young face.

It was the first time the world had seen his true appearance.

Tall and slender, with the complexion of a child and the hair of an old man!

If people hadn't seen Demon Heart appear, they would have thought he was a young Great Emperor.

“Is this guy crazy?” Demon Heart was so shocked that his right hand unconsciously exerted force, almost crushing the demon bead in his hand.

On the shore.

“Damn! This young Great Emperor is too arrogant. This is a no-fly zone!”

“Daring to fly without the permission of the demon and monster race Great Emperors will attract heavenly tribulation!”

An old man felt very pained. There were definitely lessons of blood and tears behind the rules around the Soul Severing Sea.

When Soul Severing Mountain was first moved to the sea, many human Great Emperors were unhappy with the demons and monsters.

They flew to Soul Severing Mountain, wanting to kill the demons and monsters here.

The demon and monster Great Emperors, seeing that their cultivation was not easy, dissuaded them from leaving, but the human Great Emperors didn't give them face and were eventually struck dead by heavenly tribulation.

“Fellow Daoist, you must not fly again.”

“Flying is not allowed here. Forcibly taking off will trigger heavenly punishment!”

An old Great Emperor suddenly appeared in the crowd, transmitting his voice to Lin Ning.

Lin Ning turned his head slightly, and the system panel instantly displayed the other party's information.

“Heavenly punishment?”

Lin Ning cupped his hands towards the other party, “Thank you for your dissuasion, Senior, but I'm pressed for time. I'll go to Soul Severing Mountain to take care of something and then return.”

With that, he looked towards the sky above.

“As for heavenly punishment?”

Lin Ning pointed to the sky with one hand, “Then let it come!”

As soon as he finished speaking.

A heavenly tribulation descended from the sky with the power to destroy the world.

Lightning bolts followed, seemingly wanting to teach this disrespectful kid a lesson.

“It's over, it's over, this guy really provoked heavenly punishment!”

“Damn it, this young Great Emperor is too arrogant. I've never seen such an arrogant Great Emperor who dares to be disrespectful to heavenly tribulation!”

Cultivators had heard stories of heavenly tribulation since they were young. Whether they were low-level cultivators or Great Emperors, they all had a sense of awe towards heavenly tribulation.

On the sea, Demon Heart looked at Lin Ning with a smile, a chuckle escaping from his upturned lips.

“Young Great Emperor, are you not afraid of heavenly tribulation?”

“Heh, that's right. If you are afraid of heavenly tribulation, you are bowing down to it.”

“Even a Great Emperor is a slave in its eyes.”

“Not kneeling, not fearing, means not having slavishness.”

Beneath the sky, looking at the falling sea of lightning, looking at the heavenly tribulation.

Lin Ning shouted in a deep voice, “Scram!”

As this cold voice was uttered.

The furious heavenly tribulation suddenly stopped!

Heaven and earth returned to peace!

“Ah?”

“Ah?”

“Repelled heavenly punishment with a single word?”

“Damn it! Is this the young Great Emperor? Terrifying!”

“I'm numb, it seems like even Great Emperors can't do this, right? He made the heavenly tribulation disappear with just one word?”

“Could he be the Child of Heaven? Or the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao? He's so awesome at such a young age!”

On the sea surface.

After personally witnessing Lin Ning repel the heavenly tribulation with a single word.

Even Demon Heart, as a Great Emperor, couldn't hold back.

“Could it be that he is just a Great Emperor in disguise?”

His fingers constantly stroking the demon bead, Demon Heart looked down at the demon bead, his face becoming more and more anxious, his hand speed becoming faster and faster.

“That's not right, that's not right!”

“Why is it deviating from the trajectory I calculated?”

“Why can't I calculate his trajectory anymore?”
