At this moment, it was already evening. The scorching sun set in the west, the scorching sunlight dissipated, and wisps of cool breeze blew past.
However, no one could feel any coldness. It was as if there was a flame burning in their bodies. They were even sweating, drenching their robes and long hair.
All of this originated from the Imperial City, from the aura that was gradually becoming stronger.
It was as if a Fiendgod was gradually awakening. The aura was becoming stronger bit by bit, enveloping everyone's body and mind. An incomparable pressure was pressing down on everyone's hearts, and many people were almost unable to breathe!
The pressure was filled with the aura of a supreme emperor, causing people to be unable to help but prostrate themselves in worship. The ordinary residents of Fengyang City had long since been unable to withstand this pressure. They all knelt on the ground, their faces filled with shock and fear.
Wu Hou kowtowed and said, "This subject, Zhang Ku, pays his respects to the Old Ancestor. Welcome back to the world, Old Ancestor!"
"Greetings, Old Ancestor. Welcome back to the world, Old Ancestor!"
Within the Imperial City, whether it was the disciples of the Marquis' Mansion, the guards of the Imperial City, or the imperial concubines and princes, they all knelt on the ground and looked towards the source of the aura with respectful and pious expressions.
"Another old ancestor?" Han Tian and the others stood up and stared over. They were no longer as calm and collected as before, and there was a hint of seriousness between their brows.
"How many years has this old man been asleep?" A light voice sounded from the Imperial City.
"Reporting to the Old Ancestor, you have been asleep for 1500 years," the Emperor respectfully replied, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
"What?"
Wutian and the others trembled. The shock in their hearts could no longer be described with words. Who would have thought that the owner of this voice was actually an old monster who had been asleep for 1500 years!
"In just 1500 years, so many young geniuses have appeared in the five continents. Could this be a sign of the beginning of a chaotic world?" The voice was soft and no one could hear it. Wutian was also among them, but Little Wu Hao could hear it clearly.
"Chaotic world?" Little Wu Hao sat cross-legged in the scorching sun, her eyes fixed in front of her. Her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was searching through her memories.
"It's only 1,500 and the Great Confucian Empire has fallen to such a state. Even a few immature brats dare to make a scene in the Imperial City and kill the people of the empire. Do you know your crime, Ru Feng?"
"Confucian Wind is incompetent, please punish me, Old Ancestor!" The emperor was terrified. At this moment, he was no longer the master who controlled the fate of millions of people. He was just an ordinary descendant of the royal family.
"Alas!"
After a sigh spread out, a figure walked out step by step from the imperial city. He seemed to be moving very slowly, but in just an instant, he arrived in the sky above the city.
It was an old man dressed in sackcloth and straw sandals. If one were to only look at his appearance, he was the type of person that no one would pay attention to even if he was placed in a crowd. He was extremely ordinary.
However, in terms of temperament, no matter where he went, he was a dazzling star that no one could ignore.
"So powerful!"
Immediately, Wutian's pupils contracted and his hair stood on end. An unprecedented sense of crisis flooded his soul like a torrent. Without any hesitation, he retreated immediately and stood side by side with Han Tian and the others.
Not only Wutian, but also Han Tian and the other two. They stared at the ordinary-looking old man opposite them and a strong sense of uneasiness rose in their hearts.
They all knew that this was a monster, an extremely terrifying old monster.
Dongfang Xiao looked at the old man and frowned. His face was filled with shock and doubt, as if he recalled something that even he could not believe. In the end, he could not help but ask, "Are you the first emperor of the Great Confucian Empire, Ru Fengren?"
"You are?" The old man looked over, his eyes were filled with confusion. After a while, he asked with uncertainty, "Are you Dongfang Xiao?"
"Yes, I am." Dongfang Xiao nodded and cupped his hands, "Junior Dongfang Xiao greets Elder Ru."
"Time really flies. That little kid from back then has already become a powerhouse of the Divine Transformation Stage." The old man, Ru Fengren, sighed. Time flew by. After a seclusion, everything had changed.
Then, the old man glanced at Wutian and the others and frowned, "Are you with these people?"
Dongfang Xiao hurriedly shook his head and denied, "Elder Ru, you misunderstood me. I just saw that they had monkey wine and shamelessly came to drink some. If Elder Ru does not mind, I will leave now."
"So disloyal." Han Tian mumbled and rolled his eyes.
"You can't blame me for being disloyal. It's just that this old man is ridiculously strong. If the Pavilion Master is not here, I can't afford to offend him."
Dongfang Xiao explained to Wutian and the others with a sound transmission. Ru Fengren was a famous powerhouse 1500 years ago. It was said that he had reached the large success stage of the Divine Transformation Realm and was also the grandfather of the current Emperor, Ru Feng.
After being in seclusion for 1500 years, his cultivation must have made some breakthroughs and he might even have reached perfection. He wasn't someone that Dongfang Xiao could afford to offend.
Dongfang Xiao also advised Wutian to quickly take Han Tian and the others and use the star world to escape. Otherwise, they would be in great trouble and wouldn't be able to escape.
"Perfection stage Ru!"
Wutian was incomparably shocked. If it was a small success stage Ru then with his and Han Tian's strength, they wouldn't care too much. But, a Great Success stage and perfection stage Ru were completely different.
In the Divine Transformation Realm, the difference between every small boundary was an insurmountable gap. To be able to fight someone one level above them was already extremely rare. If one wanted to fight someone two levels above them, it would be impossible to do so unless they had an unlimited amount of Imperial Armaments.
Moreover, this was a perfection stage powerhouse that surpassed the third level. This was an undefeatable natural enemy!
"It doesn't matter!"
The old man shook his head. Then, his eyes swept over Wutian and the others, seeming to praise them. He nodded and said, "Whether it is in talent or talent, you are all outstanding individuals amongst your generation. If you were given several hundred years, you would surely become an overlord of your own generation. You might even surpass me. If I were to kill all of you, I wouldn't have the heart to do so."
As Rufeng heard this, he anxiously said, "High Ancestor, you cannot be merciful …"
"Shut up! If you dare to speak again, don't blame me for being merciless!"
Rufeng Ren coldly shouted, not caring about the affection between grandfather and grandson. To be honest, for an old monster like him who had lived for several thousand years, he didn't care too much about affection. What he cared about was his own strength.
Rufeng stiffened and a struggling light flashed in his eyes. Finally, he sighed and took several steps back, silently standing to the side, no longer speaking.
Even his own grandson, Rufeng, was in such a state, not to mention Wu Hou. He was still kneeling in the void, not daring to move. He was sweating profusely, afraid that if he were to offend this High Ancestor, he would be killed with a finger.
"You're Wutian, right?" Rufeng Ren smiled like an amiable old man, without the slightest hint of danger.
Wutian didn't answer and only nodded slightly.
"As long as you hand over the Myriad Transformations Heavenly Phenomenon and your concealment treasure, I can guarantee that everything that happened today will be forgiven. Even if you want to be the Emperor of the Great Confucian Empire, I will agree," Rufeng Ren stated his conditions.
As Rufeng heard this, his body trembled violently. However, due to Rufeng Ren's divine power, he didn't even dare to breathe loudly, let alone protest.
"It's that simple?"
Wutian was surprised. Judging from Rufeng Ren's expression, he didn't seem to be faking it. He was quite sincere. However, he wasn't stupid enough to believe that the other party would let him go so easily.
"Of course it's not that simple. I won't do something as stupid as releasing a tiger back to the mountain. If you and your friends want to live, you have to become my servants," Rufeng Ren was still smiling, not much different from before. However, in the eyes of Wutian and the others, it was completely different.
If it was a kind smile before, then now, it was a sinister smile of a devil, extremely terrifying!
After a moment of silence, the seriousness on Han Tian's face disappeared. Instead, he teased, "You really want me to be your servant?"
"Hehe, from the moment I appeared, I sensed the aura of the Ice Token from you. I guess you must be related to those old monsters in the Ice Valley!"
Rufeng Ren paused and smiled faintly, "However, if you're relying on them, you're very wrong. There's no teleportation between the Mysterious Ice Continent and the Zhongyao Continent. With their speed, it'll take them at least one day to fly. One day is enough for me to kill you and find a place to hide. As for the Great Confucian Empire, it's dispensable."
"Old monsters?" Wutian looked at him in confusion.
"This matter is very complicated, let's talk about it later." Han Tian transmitted his voice and then looked at Ru Feng Ren. He changed his usual evil aura and said in a deep voice, "You mean there's no room for negotiation?"
"Yes, I can choose to kill all of you and take the treasure," Rufeng Ren smiled.
Wutian frowned and said, "I have a question. Rufeng and Ruchen are from the same lineage as you. Why didn't you help Ruchen when he was in trouble? Instead, you let Rufeng do whatever he wanted and kill his own brother?"
"Hehe, for cultivators, what does kinship count for?" Ru Feng Ren only said this one sentence and didn't discuss this issue any further. "I'll give you three breaths of time to consider whether you will obey this old man or disobey this old man."
"One!"
Wutian and the other three's faces darkened. From Rufeng Ren's expression and actions, they could tell that he wasn't joking.
"Two!"
The faint voice was like a death sentence, causing Wutian and the other three's hearts to sink to the bottom.
"No, let's retreat first." Wutian had a stronger self-esteem than others, but he was clear about the situation. If he wanted self-esteem, he had to save his life first. If he lost his life, what dignity would he have to talk about?
However, in the next moment, he was stunned because he noticed that he was actually unable to sense the existence of the Stellar Dimension. It seemed as if a mysterious force had concealed the workings of the heavens and severed his connection with the Stellar Dimension. It was even to the extent that he was unable to contact Little Wuhao!
Wutian looked at Rufeng Ren. He didn't need to think to know that it must be this person's doing. Because in this place, only he had the ability to do so.
"Three!"
"I, Wutian, would rather die in battle than be manipulated by others!"
A monstrous aura burst out from Wu Tian's body, followed by a series of clanging noises. The three halberds and the other five imperial weapons appeared one after another, floating in front of Wu Tian. The power of the imperial weapons rolled out in all directions!

According to the previous statistics, there would be more people who supported the three chapters a day. However, since many readers haven't read it yet, I'll wait until tomorrow morning to make a decision.
In addition, I would like to add that my writing speed is very slow. I can't compare to those people who write at lightning speed. My three chapters a day are close to 10,000 words, and it takes me at least 12 hours to edit them. So, this is my current limit. However, I will work even harder and write even more brilliantly in return for everyone's support. I also ask that everyone continue to support me and allow Empyrean Asura to kill his way onto the leaderboards. I would like to thank all of you in advance.
