Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

This decree was golden and dazzling, crossing the sky. It was incomparably large, flowing with golden radiance, and extremely resplendent. Everyone in Stone Capital could see it.

Accompanied by a loud voice, the inheritance was carried out, and the throne was passed down to Shi Hao. These words were like rumbling thunder. Heaven and earth resonated, ringing in everyone’s ears.

“It’s the Stone Emperor. His voice is like thunder,and he’s personally passing down a decree, leaving behind an imprint. It’s appearing in broad daylight.” Waves of exclamations rang out.

In the Imperial Capital, many commoners knelt down because the Human Emperor was like a god to them. They bowed the moment they saw the decree. Accompanied by rumbling sounds, the decree became even more resplendent and condensed mystic power.

“Shi Hao is the new emperor!” Someone shouted loudly. It was like a bolt of lightning that surged within Stone Capital. Meanwhile, the decree in the sky became even more dazzling. Draconic energy rose from the golden paper, rushing into the nine heavens.

“Long live the Human Emperor! Long live the Human Emperor! Long live the Human Emperor!” People bowed and prayed to the old emperor, as well as calling out to the new emperor.

It was a tremendous sound that resounded through the heavens above and earth below, shaking everyone until their souls became unstable. Even the expressions of powerful cultivators changed. It was a type of spiritual force that harmonized with one another, incomparably powerful.

Every single one of them had endless potential. If they opened up their flesh’s treasury, endless divine force would surge out, and all of them would be able to become great cultivators.

Ordinary people didn’t open it, yet they had the potential. Through words and spiritual resonance, they could transform into a type of divine mysterious force. Right now, it was vast and mighty under the sky.

One could see with the naked eye that wisps of divine power gathered, surging toward Shi Hao, supporting him and forming Imperial Dragon Energy pillars

That was the result of everyone in the capital receiving the decree and resonating with it. They called out its name, carrying the fate of heaven and earth. Shi Hao sat on the throne, receiving a type of mysterious force.

Of course, he didn’t bring it into his body but only allowed it to wrap around him, protecting him from the outside. This was a portion of the country’s luck, ensuring that he wouldn’t fall into calamity.

On his body, the Human Emperor’s precious seal resonated with him. More mystic force flowed over and augmented his body. For a moment, Shi Hao became unfathomable and was drowned by a ball of hazy light.

In front of the central heavenly palace, the kings were shocked. It had only just begun, but Shi Hao already created such a phenomenon. Could he really be the Human Emperor’s best choice? Luck gathered from all directions and surged toward him alone.

Experts from the three sects gathered here, many of them guarding outside the heavenly palace, wishing to trap and kill Shi Hao. When they saw this scene, their expressions all changed.

This was especially true for a few elders who cultivated special divine abilities. When they opened their spiritual eyes and carefully examined it, they couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath of air.

“Heavenly Dragon swoops down, winding around him and singing. Is he really someone with the status of Human Emperor?” An elder couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.

Heavenly Eyes were difficult to form, but the spiritual eyes of some experts had long been opened. When they heard this, they all focused and watched silently. Their expressions immediately changed.

In the central heavenly palace, on the supreme throne, Shi Hao remained unmoved as if he had been sitting there since tens of thousands of years ago. He was indescribably steady and calm. His eyes were incomparably cold as he swept his gaze over everyone. Outside his body, heavenly dragons coiled about one after another, filling the space. The dragons raised their heads and chanted.

There were tens of thousands of streaks of dragon energy and an oppressive aura of the emperor. All of them gathered on a teenager, displaying the might of the Human Emperor and shocking everyone.

“Shi Hao, how dare you! You forcefully ascended the throne and deceived the world. You are a traitor!”

An elder of the Heaven Mending Sect berated loudly. His words were intense because he knew that it was very bad if this continued. The new emperor would become the orthodox lineage after inheriting the throne. Most importantly, the emperor’s dragon energy became stronger and stronger, and he wanted to interrupt this change.

However, no matter how loudly he shouted, it was still difficult for his thundering voice to spread outward. It was all suppressed by the golden decree in the sky.

“Everyone, what are you all waiting for? This is a scheme, forcefully seizing someone else’s throne. We cannot allow him to do this!” At the elder’s side, some people spoke out, shouting loudly.

They had to stop it. They couldn’t let Shi Hao become the orthodox lineage. Otherwise, he would be an uncontrollable variable. He was a teenager who had achieved success and was incomparably powerful. No one could make him submit. He wasn’t the Human Emperor that the great sects in the outer regions needed.

In the central heavenly palace, on the high and mighty throne, Shi Hao’s gaze became increasingly cold as he looked down at them. He really was like a supreme being that ruled the world as he coldly said, “What a bunch of clowns.”

His voice was like thunder, shaking the entire palace. It was accompanied by dragon energy, making all the golden halls tremble. It was really like a Heavenly Emperor descending to the lower realm and speaking a mantra.

Even though it was only a few words, those people felt as if their chests were struck by a hammer, causing their expressions to suddenly change. There was anger but also a faint fear.

“Take him down. He’s a traitor and isn’t worthy of being the Human Emperor. Kill him!” That elder and a group of people shouted.

Boom!

Shi Hao didn’t move. He only raised a hand and suddenly pressed forward. Imperial dragon energy erupted, making heaven and earth rumble. Such a great scene shook everyone.

The palm enlarged amid a rumble, and heavenly dragons coiled around it as it passed through the divine formation. It was like a cloud that covered the sky as it descended, and its aura was terrifying.

“Fall back!”

That elder cried out loudly because the hand’s aura was too powerful, and it was rushing toward them.

They displayed precious techniques and brought out magical artifacts. Multicolored light surged with symbols densely covering them. Everyone felt tremendous pressure, and all of them quickly backed up.

However, the hand was extremely astonishing. It flowed with earthen yellow pillars of energy, and fluctuations surged like tidal waves, accompanied by dragon roars that covered them all.

Boom!

With this elder as the leader, more than ten people cried out miserably. Their faces were pale. They were all covered by the large hand. Those precious artifacts cracked, and those divine powers dissipated. They were even trembling.

Fairy Yue Chan, Qin Lun, Five Meters, and the other prodigies couldn’t save them even if they wanted to. Everything happened too quickly. The heavenly dragon’s cry resounded, and the huge hand covered the sky as it instantly pressed down.

Poof!

Accompanied by bloody light, those people’s bodies all split apart, just like those magical artifacts that disintegrated in the void. The mournful cries stopped, leaving behind streaks of bloody mist.

The people who were scolding Shi Hao just now were all dead. None of them survived!

The huge hand disappeared, and imperial dragon energy surged. In the central heavenly palace, Shi Hao sat there as steady as a rock. His gaze was deep as he looked down at the crowd.

Everyone shuddered. Was this the new emperor? As soon as he succeeded the throne, there was an indescribable luck that was compatible with this imperial palace. His cultivation method was astonishing.

A type of great power guided it forward. It was as if it was circulating the supreme might of the heavens and the earth. With a light push, it produced terrifying consequences.

“The earthen yellow hand he transformed into penetrated the divine formation. Does this mean that he has a connection with the Heavenly Palace?”

The kings were shocked. This young expert was heroic and intimidating. He had successfully obtained the recognition of the imperial dragon energy and succeeded to the throne. This made many people uneasy.

Everyone’s hearts trembled. Shi Hao came to the imperial capital alone and successfully inherited the throne. This was truly terrifying. Was he going to fight everyone alone?

“Brother Shi Hao, you’re extraordinary. You’re so calm that it’s admirable. However, now that the world’s momentum has been established, how far can you go? Even if you ascend to the throne today, how many days can you sit on it?”

Fairy Yue Chan spoke in a gentle voice. Her features were picturesque and carried a spiritual aura. Her red lips were bright, and her snow-white teeth were sparkling. She was indescribably beautiful.

Shi Hao sat high above, calm and steady. His bearing made everyone’s expressions become serious. At such a young age, he already had great dignity.

His eyes flickered. He was studying the feeling of the dragon energy coiling around his body. Mysterious power revolved on its own. This wasn’t cultivation, but a kind of heaven and earth status and a type of “great power”.

“Human Emperor…” Shi Hao muttered to himself. His entire body was shrouded in mist, becoming even more mysterious. Seven-colored light flowed in his eyes.

Then, he stared at Fairy Yue Chan and said, “How much do you know about the general trend? You are indeed beautiful, but it’s better for you to take care of your husband and children.”

Everyone was stunned. Was this what Shi Hao said? He really didn’t show any mercy. He actually dared to make such a statement. The dignified fairy of the Heaven Mending Sect was actually criticized like this.

The meaning behind these words was clear. He was berating the holy maiden of an unmatched great sect. Regardless of whether it was her talents or other things, this was the most direct way to look down on her.

He was clearly a teenager, but he looked down on the world like this. He used such a tone to comment on the most famous fairy in the world. It made people stunned and not know what to say.

Shi Chong was stupefied as he stood there. He opened his mouth, turned around to look at Shi Hao, and then at the white-clothed fairy. In the end, he fell silent.

Fairy Yue Chan’s expression was tranquil, holy, and auspicious, without the slightest hint of anger. In the end, a faint smile blossomed on her flawless and beautiful face, causing all the flowers to lose their color, and even the sun and moon seemed to dim.

“Brother Shi, you have a sharp tongue. What use is there in saying all this? What can it change?” Her fair skin released astonishing brilliance. The corners of her bright red lips curled up slightly, and she was bright and moving.

“You’re useful. Guess what? I can use a maid here,” said Shi Hao.

Everyone was stunned. His bearing was extraordinary and extremely dignified, but he had said such a thing for no reason, making everyone feel like it didn’t match the previous solemn aura.

“Haha…” Outside the central heavenly palace, the Battle Monarch laughed. He was mighty and oppressive as he said, “That’s how it should be. So what if they’re from the great sects in the outer regions? Do they really think they can command everything and arrive above our race? The new emperor should have such boldness. So what if she’s a sect’s fairy? Capturing them as maidservants is the style that our Human Emperor should have. Only then can he be considered to have the aura to swallow mountains and rivers and look down on the world!”

Everyone was stunned!

Fairy Yue Chan’s expression was calm, and her holy aura didn’t diminish. Her entire body was enveloped in a faint halo, and her skin was glowing. She was otherworldly.

However, the expressions of the elders beside her darkened. Even the elders of the Immortal Mountain and the Western Sect were unhappy. Their gazes were cold.

“We’ve come here to uphold justice. We won’t tolerate you trying to seize the throne. How can a pseudo emperor like you inherit the throne?”

When Shi Hao heard this, his expression was calm without the slightest fluctuation. His eyes were incomparably deep. Multicolored light swirled, accompanied by the terrifying scene of revolving sun, moon, and stars.

“Do you still have any shame?” These were his cold words. He sat high up on his throne, looking at the experts of the three sects, saying, “Stone Country’s imperial palace isn’t a place you all can enter and leave as you please, yet you still want to talk about the great inheritance? What does this have to do with you people? Those who harm my country’s fate, I shall kill them all!”

At this moment, the golden decree in the sky resonated with him. The sound of “Successor Shi Hao” rumbled. Everyone in Stone Capital knelt, shouting loudly.

“Long live the Human Emperor…”

With this support, heavenly dragons appeared on Shi Hao’s body one after another. The mysterious force became more and more powerful. He looked at everyone.

He merged with the great power of heaven and earth, suppressing experts from all directions.
