Chapter 1340: Peak of the Cloud Sea, An Old Acquaintance (First Update)

“Young Emperor!” The Clan Chief of the Dragon Armor clan heard these words, his chest felt as if it had been heavily struck, his face completely devoid of color, staring blankly at Wang Lin, his eyes filled with shock and bitterness.

It wasn't just him; the Young Clan Chief of the Dragon Armor clan standing beside him also had a pale face, his mind trembling, his expression showing an unbelievable confusion.

Wang Lin's gaze flickered, his expression unchanged, only his cold eyes swept across the envoy.

“Young Emperor?”

The middle-aged envoy's face always held a respectful smile. He quickly bowed and clasped his fists, saying, “The Great Emperor has already issued a decree, informing all tribes in the Land of Falling that you are the Young Emperor personally appointed by the Great Emperor, and within the Rebirth Assembly, you are above the thirteen Elders!”

Wang Lin's expression was as usual; he did not speak.

At this moment, the Dragon Armor clan Chief bitterly held the Medicinal Pill. After a long silence, he spoke softly to the Great Emperor's envoy, “envoy… Your Excellency, can you spare the life of my only son…?”

The smile on the envoy's face disappeared, replaced by indifference. He slowly said, “I merely delivered the Medicinal Pill and proclaimed the Great Emperor's oral decree. As for the lives of others, it has nothing to do with me.”

Despair appeared in the Dragon Armor clan Chief's eyes. He glanced at his son, who was already flustered and confused beside him. Gritting his teeth, he bowed deeply to Wang Lin, with bitterness mixed with respect, and whispered, “Young… Young Emperor, I offended you earlier. Please show mercy and spare my son. I will bear all consequences alone. Please, Young Emperor, show mercy…”

As he spoke, he suddenly looked up, reached back with his right hand, and immediately grabbed his son. The Young Clan Chief of the Dragon Armor clan was startled, then let out a shrill scream. It was his father, the Clan Chief of the Dragon Armor clan, whose vital energy surged into his body, sweeping through it like a hot knife through butter. The booming sounds shook the heavens and earth; he had directly crippled all his Meridians and shattered his Primordial Spirit, instantly rendering his cultivation useless and turning him into a Mortal!

Intense pain wildly erupted from within the Young Clan Chief of the Dragon Armor clan, causing him to spit out blood, his face ashen. The space outside his body twisted, as if streams of Qi were continuously venting from within him, and under that intense pain, he directly fainted.

“Young Emperor, my son's cultivation has been abolished; from now on, he will never be able to Cultivate again, nor will he pose any threat to you. Please, Young Emperor… give him a path to life!” The Dragon Armor clan Chief bowed, his bitter voice almost pleading.

Wang Lin remained silent, then nodded after a moment.

Gratitude appeared on the Dragon Armor clan Chief's face. With a wave of his right hand, he sent his unconscious son to a safe spot on the ground, took a deep breath, and swallowed the Medicinal Pill without hesitation.

The Medicinal Pill melted upon entry, transforming into a black flame that instantly rushed into his body. This black flame exuded an eerie sensation, burning wildly within him. In just an instant, it incinerated his Primordial Spirit and all his flesh and bones. From the outside, the Dragon Armor clan Chief's entire body turned crimson, tinged with black, and black flames erupted from every pore, turning him into a black fireball. After the flames dissipated, nothing remained!

“What kind of fire is this?!” Wang Lin's pupils suddenly contracted.

On the entire Cultivation Planet, there was a deathly silence at this moment. Many people witnessed this scene, and their hearts trembled. The Great Emperor's might, in this Land of Falling, was like that of a deity; no one dared to defy!

Especially the members of the Dragon Armor clan present around them, their eyes showed fear, and they all lowered their heads.

“A Cultivator at the Fourth Decay of Heaven and Man, in the Inner Realm, would be considered a hero. Even in this Outer Realm, they would be enough to become an Elder of a great clan, with high status! But in this Land of Falling, with just an oral decree, they dared not resist in the slightest, swallowing a poisonous pill to die… This Great Emperor's might has clearly deeply permeated people's hearts… And the reason he bestowed this poisonous pill upon the Dragon Armor clan Chief to die was probably to show me, indirectly, to give me a warning.”

The death of the Dragon Armor clan Chief marked the end of the matter. The middle-aged envoy's face once again showed a smile. He clasped his fists at Wang Lin and respectfully said, “The Dragon Armor clan cannot be without a master for a day. We await the Young Emperor's decision on the candidate for the new Clan Chief.”

Wang Lin's gaze flickered, his expression normal. He casually pointed his right hand, landing it on a young man in the distance whose cultivation was at Nirvana Scrutiny, and said, “Let it be this person.”

The young man was still trembling from the death of his Clan Chief and the Great Emperor's might. When Wang Lin pointed at him, he was noticeably stunned, momentarily dazed, as if a moment ago he was in the hellfire, but the next moment, he was like Ascending to the Immortal Realm!

This drastic change was too great, causing the person to be unable to react at all. He was not the highest Cultivator in the Dragon Armor clan; without any accidents, he would never have become the Dragon Armor clan Chief in this lifetime, only an Elder.

But now, being pointed out by Wang Lin caused a monstrous wave to surge in the young man's mind. His body trembled, his eyes showed extreme joy, and he became even more excited. He quickly stepped forward, clasped his fists respectfully towards Wang Lin, and said in a trembling voice, “Thank… Thank you, Young Emperor, for your appreciation. From now on, my Dragon Armor clan, if the Young Emperor commands, we will obey even if it means extermination! This Junior…”

Wang Lin waved his hand, interrupting the man's words, and calmly said, “Bring me all your clan's Dragon Collapse Pills, Blazing Fire Strange Crystals, and Puppet items. I want to take them.”

The young man quickly agreed. Let alone Wang Lin asking him to retrieve these Magic Treasure items; even if Wang Lin wanted the Primordial Spirits of the Dragon Armor clan members, he would not hesitate to retrieve them. To become the Dragon Armor clan Chief was a tremendous stroke of fortune for this young man!

At this moment, he had already automatically ignored the death of the previous Clan Chief and was instead wholeheartedly immersed in excitement and eagerness, with the intention of currying favor with Wang Lin.

The middle-aged Great Emperor's envoy clasped his fists at Wang Lin and smiled, “Young Emperor, I shall take my leave now. I need to return and report back to the Great Emperor.” As he spoke, he flipped his right hand, took out a cyan jade pendant, and respectfully handed it to Wang Lin.

“Young Emperor, this jade pendant was given to me by the Great Emperor to deliver to you. It represents your identity. Wherever this jade pendant is, it is as if the Great Emperor himself is present. In the Land of Falling, no one dares to harm you.”

“The Great Emperor also said that you must attend the Rebirth Assembly's Elder selection three months from now.” After the envoy handed over the jade pendant, he clasped his fists and respectfully departed, transforming into a long rainbow and disappearing into the distant horizon.

Wang Lin held the jade pendant and examined it carefully. The jade pendant's material was ordinary, but it had a single character, “帝” (Di), on it. The strokes of this character were simple, as if imprinted in one go, exuding an ancient aura. Moreover, one could clearly feel a strange power emanating from it.

Outside the Land of Falling Star Domain, within the Primordial Stars, at the instant Si Mozi's Clone died, in a vast sea of stars, within the enormous裂缝 (rift) where Si Mozi's main body resided, he suddenly opened his eyes from his cross-legged position.

The moment his eyes opened, brilliant light flashed, like lightning streaking across the dark void rift, causing a sudden roar to echo around, as if the void rift was about to collapse!

Furthermore, a tyrannical aura erupted from Si Mozi's main body, transforming into a storm that enveloped his body, wildly spreading outwards as it spun.

Si Mozi's clothes danced, his long hair fluttered, his expression was as gloomy as water, and the brilliant light in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by intense killing intent and coldness.

The death of his Clone had no impact on his cultivation. That Clone was refined by him later, with the purpose of cultivating another Third Step mighty figure when his cultivation could not Break through. However, the death of the Clone destroyed his plan, causing the idea he had long harbored to collapse.

In this way, it was equivalent to destroying countless years of his painstaking effort.

“Great Emperor of Falling!!!” Si Mozi gnashed his teeth, his expression ferocious.

“And that Junior Lightning Cultivator, this person actually possesses a trace of Fire Origin in addition to Lightning Origin!! And how did he know my name from back then!! Could it be that this person comes from the Inner Realm?!” Si Mozi's eyes flickered. He raised his right hand and violently tore forward. The void rift roared, shaking the heavens and earth, and with a rumbling sound, a gap was forcefully torn open.

Si Mozi stood up. As he took a step forward, he grabbed into the gap below with his right hand and shouted, “Seven-Colored Divine Sky Nail, appear for me!”

A seven-colored radiance suddenly flashed out from the rift's opening, its light reaching ten thousand zhang. As soon as it appeared, it rapidly spread outwards, illuminating the dark void and enveloping everything there in seven-colored light.

One by one, seven-colored nails swiftly flew out from the gap, floating before Si Mozi. A moment later, a total of twenty-nine seven-colored nails formed a ring and rotated around Si Mozi's body, making the seven-colored radiance even denser, subtly obscuring Si Mozi's figure, making him indistinguishable, with only dazzling seven-colored light visible.

“The Seven-Colored Divine Sky Nail bestowed by the Venerable Master is specifically for killing Third Step mighty figures. I alone cannot resist the Great Emperor of Falling, but if the Venerable Master's Assembly gathers all its Third Step mighty figures, they can surely kill this person. Everything depends on how the Venerable Master's Assembly decides!” Si Mozi waved his right hand, and the seven-colored nails outside his body immediately retracted into his hand and disappeared. He took a step forward, and his entire being vanished without a trace.

Within the Land of Falling Star Domain, a group of Cultivators was currently speeding. There were nearly a thousand of these Cultivators, with varying cultivations. In the very center, about a dozen Cultivators who had reached the Second Step surrounded one person.

This person was richly dressed, an old man with an ordinary appearance, but he looked extremely sinister.

“Great Consecrator Greedy Wolf, that Cultivation Planet of the Dark Scorpion clan is not far ahead! We have already confirmed that the Myriad Ancient Scorpion Corpse you seek is most likely there!”

The old man, surrounded by the crowd, had an arrogant expression. He nodded slightly, proudly saying, “Very good. If this is true, you all will not be without benefits!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding Cultivators immediately showed joy. If someone else had said this, they might not have shown such unconcealed delight, but the speaker was Greedy Wolf!

These past years, in the Land of Falling Star Domain, who didn't know Greedy Wolf!

Greedy Wolf doesn't go to places without treasure; this saying had been witnessed time and again by the Cultivators of the Land of Falling, and the benefits given by this person were never of inferior quality!
