Poison God's Heritage

Chapter 776: Attack

About ten days later, inside the largest fortified city of the Sea of Demons, the Imperial City. Where the self-proclaimed emperor resides, a commotion was happening.

The thought was that Shen Bao, the victor of the Tournament would come to try and claim the area for himself, but he was a mere Void Stage cultivator.

Though Strongest Under the Sun, he was not at the level of taking over the territory of the Sea of Demons. No matter how powerful he was in the tournament, it was a rigged one. After all, the cultivators there could not use their Origin Qi, so if he tried and dared come to claim this land, he would end up dead.

The Emperor was not a fan of the decisions that the Suns had taken, after all, he had reached the peak of the Origin Shattering Stage, only a bit away from the Heaven Stage. Which was a very powerful level of cultivation.

They all saw how Shen Bao was powerful and smart, but that is only if he is able to use his tools and puppets. Here, so far out of the world, in an area where even normal usage of Qi is restricted, his trinkets wouldn't pose a threat if he dared come here.

Not to mention, there were plenty of Void Shattering Stage cultivators, and a few Origin Realm Cultivators, and a couple who are the guards of the Emperor at the Origin Shattering Realm.

The area couldn't be more fortified even if one wanted to.

The agreement he had with the Suns to keep this land is to stop the Walkers from moving outside the Sea of Demons and to keep them at bay here until the Endless Nights starts. Only then will they no longer have any obligation toward the Beyond and will have to fight to protect themselves only?

Which was an agreement that has been going on for hundreds of years.

But now, the Suns reneged on that agreement and gifted the territory that the current Emperor Spent ages to develop to some no-name guy who won a rigged competition.

A man hurriedly rushed inside the imperial hall, where several councilors and generals were bowing in prostration to the imperial seat.

The man was wearing the robes of an eunuch, he was basically a slave for the imperial family and only served the imperial family. He would prostrate himself there, and present a jade with both hands over his bowed head.

"A message arrived, Your Imperial Majesty!" the eunuch said with all the air in his lungs.

The nearest general who was the man who had his daughter saved by Shen Bao went and grabbed the jade.

He read through it and frowned.

"What is it?" the Emperor asked.

The words had found difficulty leaving his mouth when he said "It is a threat."

"Someone dares threaten his majesty?!" one of the other three generals rose up as he slammed the butt of his glaive on the ground in an uproar.

The Emperor stood up from his seat and slowly went all the way down to the head on the ground, he picked it up and his eyes widened as he recognized a familiar tattoo that hadn't completely burnt.

A small piece of jade was imbedded into the dead general's ear which the Emperor played.

"You now have one hour to come up with a decision." It said.

He dropped his head and shouted with all his might, "BRING HIM TO ME! RIGHT NOW! ALIVE!"

The there generals immediately shot out of the palace, hurrying toward the gate as they noticed something they didn't ever expect.

It wasn't due to their lack of ability to sense something from far away after all, they were all at the Origin Realm and were more than capable of sensing stuff at the gate. But due to the nature of the Sea of Demons' Qi sealing and limitation, their Qi could only extend to a few miles around them. While Shen Bao was so far away standing with both hands crossed in front of him.

The wind blew and ruffled his hair lightly and his robes, while his eyes were shining bright green.

However, his stalwart and courageous appearance wasn't what brought the attention of the royal guard. But the fact that he was standing on the shoulder of a puppet so gigantic that it easier towered over the walls of the city.

The cries and fear of people intensified as they noticed the looming titan peering over them as if they were ants.

And around the gigantic puppet were tens of thousands of other smaller puppets. A majority of them were on one knee holding a tube-like object that was aimed straight forward. While the rest stood like resolute soldiers that have undergone a thousand battles.

The three generals spread out and simply decided to surround and come at Shen Bao from three different directions to spread his focus.

But he didn't even take a second glance at any of them.

He pointed up, then down at the royal palace.

This made the three generals stop in their tracks. That mere motion was so full of confidence and certainty that it made them hesitate. Especially since he aimed at the Royal Palace. Where their Emperor was.

Thinking that it was simply a ruse from Shen Bao after nothing happened two of the generals rushed forward, the General of the West holding a saber, and the General of the North with his golden spear. While the general of the Shield remained back waiting for whatever thing could threaten the Royal palace.

And he was right in waiting, after all, a massive pillar-sized spear was coming down from the high heavens at a speed so fast that it bore through the clouds of the Sea of Demons tearing them apart and blowing them away to reveal the bright sun.

The projectile was coming down at such an incredible pace that he was forced to use Blood Escape, sacrificing a good chunk of his blood essence to increase his speed a hundredfold to intercept.

The General of the Shield raised a massive circular shield up to block the incoming pillar of pure tungsten metal.

All the two other generals heard when they were about to reach Shen Bao was.

"If only you learned the Law of Kinetic Energy... you wouldn't have tried to do that," he grinned.
