"He's not dead. He's not dead yet. Even Dongli Chihuang has been defeated …"
In the Golden Dragon Palace of the Stone Dragon Empire's imperial palace, Emperor Cheng's body couldn't help but tremble as he held the jade slip in his hand.
"Thud thud!"
The message seemed to have drained all of Emperor Cheng's energy. He staggered backward and slumped into the dragon throne behind him. His eyes were empty.
"We can only look for the Great Lun Sect and the Divine Light Court now."
Emperor Cheng Fanshi's eyes trembled and his old face darkened.
"He's the junior brother of Sima Taxing, the leader of the Ancient Heaven Sect. He's also the disciple of the Seven Star Hall's Revered Artifact. He seems to have a good relationship with the Profound Talisman Sect. His backing is even stronger than the Great Lun Sect and the Divine Light Court."
Sima Taxing Xing's voice trembled slightly, his eyes desolate. He knew very well that Du Shaofu was backed by the Ancient Heaven Sect, the Seven Stars Hall, and possibly even the Profound Charm Sect. Their relationship was more stable than the Great Wheel Sect and the Divine Light Court, which the Stone Dragon Empire currently relied on.
More importantly, once he came out of the sealed ancient land, he could rely on the strength of the World Association and the Du family to sweep the entire Stone Dragon Empire.
Among the seventy or so sky-prides, almost twenty of them were closely related to him.
"We have no choice but to rely on the Great Lun Sect and the Divine Light Court. We'll see what they plan to do," Emperor Cheng Fanshi said in a deep voice. His old face was cold.
Emperor Cheng looked at Emperor Cheng Fanshi. After a while, he sighed and said, "Father, you shouldn't have gone to Stone City. Otherwise, things wouldn't have come to this …"
"There's no point in thinking about it. We can't use him, so we can only get rid of him. The Great Lun Sect and the Divine Light Court are still here. I'm afraid they want to get rid of Du Shaofu more than we do. We haven't lost yet.
We still have a chance, "Emperor Cheng Fanshi said in a deep voice. As the Emperor of the Stone Dragon Empire, he had protected the Stone Dragon Empire for many years not only because of his strength.
"Sigh …"
Emperor Cheng sighed softly, unable to refute Old Emperor Cheng Fanshi's words. His gaze trembled slightly as he muttered to himself, "I hope there is still a chance. I hope Shengnan can bring about a turn for the better …"
…
Within the Stone Dragon Empire, the news that the Courage God King, Du Shaofu, and the Dapeng Emperor, the founder of the Desolate Empire, were still alive had spread.
When the Stone Dragon Empire and the Huang Country went to war, the Huang Country's army didn't attack the ordinary citizens. Everywhere they went, the cities were left untouched. They didn't even take a needle or thread. They had already gained the support of many.
On the other hand, some of the Stone Dragon Empire's direct descendants were defeated in a panic. Everywhere they went, they were heavily taxed and robbed of cultivation resources. This made the people hate them, but they didn't dare to say anything.
As the news that the Brave Divine King was still alive in the sealed ancient land and had defeated the nine forces to become a supreme sky-pride spread, many people were shaken.
Most of the people in the Stone Dragon Empire's army had witnessed the Brave Divine King leading the many experts to kill the enemy in Enlightenment City.
Putting aside the fact that the Brave Divine King had defeated Lu Kun of the Sky Snake Sect and established the Stone Dragon Empire's reputation.
In the end, the Brave Divine King wasn't included in the celebration. Neither was the Heavenly Beast Hall and the World Assembly mentioned.
Some of the soldiers were already unhappy. They only discussed in secret and didn't dare to say it out loud.
Later on, the Brave Divine King was severely injured and needed the imperial palace's dragon qi to prolong his life. However, the Stone Dragon Empire refused.
In the end, the news of the Brave Divine King's death and the Stone City and Dark Forest forming a country had spread throughout the army.
Some of the soldiers were already unhappy with the Stone Dragon Empire, but they couldn't do anything about it.
Later on, because the Huang Country wanted to seek justice in the Stone Dragon Empire's imperial palace, the Old Emperor Cheng Fanshi and the experts of the Great Lun Sect started a massacre in the Stone City. Blood flowed like a river, causing the Stone Dragon Empire and the Huang Country to go to war.
This made many soldiers of the Stone Dragon Empire even more unhappy. However, they had no choice since they were their own masters.
At this moment, the Brave Divine King was still alive. Many of the soldiers in the army saw how arrogant the Cheng Family's soldiers were and wanted to retreat.
Some of them secretly wanted to change sides. A huge storm was brewing.
"Alive, my grandson is still alive …"
In the bamboo forest, the North Vanquishing Monarch's eyes trembled with excitement.
The North Vanquishing Monarch's body was getting stronger and stronger. However, he had become much weaker in the past few years. He looked old.
"North Vanquishing Monarch, we can't take it anymore. Many of the generals and marquises were dissatisfied and were secretly executed. The Cheng Family is immoral and doesn't deserve our lives. Old Wang, please lead us!"
In the bamboo forest, a general in armor knelt down and begged for his orders.
"Old Wang, please lead us!"
All the generals knelt down and begged in unison.
"I've already removed my armor and returned to my farm. I've abstained from worldly affairs and received the mercy of the heavens. My grandson is still alive. That's enough."
The North Vanquishing Monarch waved his hand. He had already removed his armor and returned to his farm. He didn't want to interfere with worldly affairs anymore.
The generals had no choice but to leave reluctantly. They knew they couldn't persuade this stubborn Old Wang.
"Grandpa …"
Xie Fei opened her mouth. Her bright eyes moved and she looked charming. It seemed she wanted to say something.
"Fei 'er, do you think my grandson still needs my help?" The North Vanquishing Monarch interrupted Xie Fei's words.
Xie Fei looked at the North Vanquishing Monarch. After a while, she said softly, "Grandpa, do you really want to see people suffer? With that guy's character, once he comes out and learns about the changes in Stone City, he won't let it go."
"What I'm most afraid of is people suffering. That's why I removed my armor and returned to my farm. What comforts me is that the Desolate Country is supported everywhere it goes. I didn't misjudge him. It seems like the Stone Dragon Empire's luck has run out …"
The North Vanquishing Monarch sighed. After a while, he said softly, "But with my cheap grandson's character, he won't let the Cheng Family go. In the end, the Cheng Family won't come to us and beg us to retire. Then I'll risk my life to beg that kid to save the Cheng Family's bloodline."
"Why is that?"
Xie Fei was puzzled and asked the North Vanquishing Monarch.
"If the Cheng Family doesn't come to us in the end, it means they still deserve to keep the bloodline."
The North Vanquishing Monarch looked into the depths of the bamboo forest. His eyes flickered as he said, "If the Cheng Family still sends people here in the end, it means the Cheng Family wants us to suppress my grandson. Then it means the Cheng Family isn't worth us anymore …"
Xie Fei didn't say anything. She seemed to have understood something.
… … …
Thunder rumbled in the void. Bolts of purple-gold lightning struck Du Shaofu's sleeping soul. However, they were blocked by the light of the Space Lock.
Flesh and blood were flying everywhere. At this moment, apart from Du Shaofu's sleeping soul, there was also the Qiankun Bag, the Tyrant's Shadow, and the Golden Roc Wings.
The square box containing the Heavenly Palace of Purple Gold had long been destroyed, revealing the complete Heavenly Palace of Purple Gold.
No matter how hard the lightning struck, it couldn't destroy the Heavenly Palace of Purple Gold.
In the void, a huge piece of flesh was completely torn apart. However, there seemed to be some connection between the pieces.
Among the flesh, blood, meridians, and broken bones, there was a light net that released mysterious runes and spread pressure. It was Du Shaofu's original Thunder Martial Vein.
"Boom!"
The incessant purple-gold thunderbolts directly bombarded the broken flesh. The monstrous thunderbolts lacked a kind of destructive aura at this moment. As they bombarded the broken flesh, purple-gold lightning lingered, seemingly strengthening the flesh.
The bolts of lightning struck in an orderly manner. There seemed to be some kind of pattern.
Every time a bolt of lightning struck, the shattered pieces of flesh would quietly undergo some changes. They were slowly being refined and becoming stronger.
This kind of tempering was undoubtedly much more abnormal than Du Shaofu's absorption of the Blood Essence of Demonic Beasts and the energy of Spiritual Herbs.
This kind of tempering completely shattered the body and started from every cell.
The power of the purple lightning was enough to destroy any physical body. However, when it landed on Du Shaofu's shattered body, it strangely allowed it to survive.
Du Shaofu's broken body, every piece of broken flesh, every tiny cell, was automatically absorbing the power of the purple thunder.
At this moment, if the previous owner of the 'Divine Lightning Cauldron' that the people of the Central Continent called the 'Divine Lightning Cauldron' saw the speed at which Du Shaofu's shattered flesh was absorbing the purple-gold lightning energy, he would definitely curse in his heart. This speed was many times faster than his original speed. [For details, please refer to the 'Martial Spirit World'.]
Of course, the previous owner of the Godly Thunder Cauldron did not have the Thunderbolt Martial Vein. However, Du Shaofu had the Thunderbolt Martial Vein and his body could absorb the power of the lightning. At this moment, his speed was naturally much faster.
In the shattered body, there was a tyrannical fluctuation of golden talisman engravings that released an overbearing aura.
That was the half of the Golden-Winged Roc bone in Du Shaofu's chest. At this moment, it was constantly being destroyed by the terrifying purple-gold lightning. In the end, it completely merged with the flesh and blood.
"Rumble …"
The lightning continued to strike. Du Shaofu's body was filled with multicolored light and fluctuations of Ultimacy. A powerful heart was beating like a drum, shaking people's souls.
This was Du Shaofu's new heart. It was formed from the Grass of Immortality, Dark Seeker Grass, Star Energy, and the Ultimacy of the Purple Flame Demonic Phoenix.
This new heart was reborn from the destruction of the lightning. At this moment, it was unharmed in the lightning. It could even connect with the lightning and release a surging and indestructible vitality.
