Chu Yuan's voice contained the might of heaven, carrying with him the fortune and destiny of the entire empire.
With his current strength, thereby bestowing him the title of Supreme Eminence of Human Path, even the God Position powerhouses couldn't resist.
In their eyes, Chu Yuan was radiant and magnificently imposing, like a sanctified emperor standing for a millennia. Their own sovereignty, in contrast, felt like a sham.
"As we anticipated, the Martial Emperor intends to unite the Martial Domain, but isn't his ambition a bit too great?"
"Indeed, his ambition outstrips what the Martial Domain has been trying to achieve for thousands of years!"
The God Position powerhouses withstood Chu Yuan's imperious aura.
Although Chu Yuan's strength was enigmatic and unfathomable to them, it still wasn't enough for them to willingly renounce their status and pledge allegiance to him.
Despite his impressive battle achievements, Chu Yuan's rise to power had been too swift and too short-lived.
"Have any of you determined the boundary of Martial Emperor's attainment?" someone queried through a divine sense.
"Unclear, inscrutably mystifying. It's as if he's enshrouded in chaos. But since he was already capable of vanquishing God Position Quintuple Level a few months ago, he should be even more formidable now. However, if he wishes to subjugate all the kingdoms this time, he needs the most powerful Great Emperor from the Cliff Crag Emperor Dynasty to nod in agreement first."
The crowd engaged in an unending exchange of divine senses.
"This emperor has an objection."
At this moment, the eyes of the Cliff Crag Emperor swept across the crowd as he coldly retorted, "Martial Emperor, your ambition is indeed enormous. The Demon Abyss Corps has yet to be driven out, and yet you fantasize about being the sovereign of the Martial Domain. This emperor proposes that we acknowledge you as the leader of the Alliance.
Once you have expelled the Demon Abyss Corps, the Great Wu Dynasty will become the five-star Imperial Dynasty of the Martial Domain. No, it will become the Martial Domain, just like the former Martial Dynasty. What do you think?"
"Indeed, indeed, we all agree with the Cliff Crag Emperor's opinion."
"From now on, the Martial Domain will be the Great Wu, and the Great Wu Dynasty will be the most powerful empire in the Martial Domain."
"This is an excellent suggestion."
To them, the names of the five-star Imperial Dynasties are of no consequence. However, the idea of submitting to Chu Yuan's rule was simply not acceptable.
"Objections are good, I accept all kinds of opinions. But objections can also be refuted!"
While Chu Yuan was conversing, in a split second, he stepped down from the Imperial Throne. Moving faster than lightning, he smote his golden palm towards the Cliff Crag Emperor, who possessed the highest cultivation among the crowd.
He had never imagined that the other emperors would willingly surrender to him upon hearing a few words from him.
The Cliff Crag Emperor was unprepared for Chu Yuan's sudden attack, but he had already planned his response. He roared, "Boundless Universe!"
Boom! The two forces collided fiercely within the Divine Martial Hall.
Although the Divine Martial Hall was protected by the nation's fortune, resembling a defensive barrier, it was undamaged.
But the Cliff Crag Emperor could feel an indomitable force that was causing him to continuously retreat!
"What! The Cliff Crag Emperor, in the eighth level of God Position, has been beaten back in just one move!"
The crowd exclaimed in shock.
"Martial Emperor, you intend to subdue us with sheer force? Very well! If so, this emperor will accompany you till the end. Let me see how formidable you truly are!"
The Cliff Crag Emperor stood tall, his aura towering. His empire's fortune might have plummeted, but at least it hadn't been eradicated like the others.
At this very moment, his aura ran rampant. From his palms erupted countless beams of light, cascading in every direction akin to dazzling meteors.
Chu Yuan stood erect, a resolute glimmer glistening in his eyes. Against the Cliff Crag Emperor's retaliation, there was no rage or joy as lightning danced across his body. Amongst the incessant flashes, his forces weaved together to form a punitive, judgmental thunder palm.
The moment this thunder palm was released, a fearful, impending sense of doom overcame everyone present.
Great Thunder Technique!
Thunder Palm directly descended upon the Cliff Crag Emperor!
With the Cliff Crag Emperor's strength crumbling inch by inch, he exerted every ounce of his might to retaliate. However, he soon found that his internal God Position Law seemed to have solidified, unable to circulate. And, if this Thunder Palm struck him, all his Laws would be destroyed.
"The mighty Cliff Crag Emperor is utterly incapable of counter-attacking in front of the Martial Emperor!"
Watching Chu Yuan casually strike with elegance, suppressing one of the most formidable among them – the Cliff Crag Emperor, stirred complex emotions within the crowd.
The Cliff Crag Emperor cried out in rage!
"Martial Emperor, your ambition is indeed overwhelming. Even this emperor, who has strived for such a long time, hasn't managed to unite the Martial Domain and make the kingdoms surrender. And your Great Wu, how many years has it been in existence? Your ambition to achieve this, isn't your appetite a bit too large? You once visited my Imperial City, today this emperor reciprocates."
But at this moment, suddenly, a tremor violently reverberated from a distant expanse in the void!
A huge palace was flying over from a distant place. It was the Martial City of the Martial Dynasty.
It stopped outside the Great Wu Imperial City. Eighteen powerful figures emerged, all at the God Position level.
Among them, a middle-aged man wearing a crown and adorned in a dragon robe, possessed a majestic countenance.
His cultivation was even far more formidable than the Cliff Crag Emperor, with an oppressive imperial aura. The celestial light that radiated from his God Position Laws reached the ninth level of the God Position!
This group did not enter Chu Yuan's Imperial City, seemingly afraid that they would be suppressed by the Celestial Furnace the moment they entered.
Many emperors in the Divine Martial Hall recognised him, and cried out.
Indeed, this was the Martial Emperor. He had been emperor for thousands of years and was far more formidable than any previous Martial Emperors.
Even though the Martial City had been destroyed and all their territories overrun, many of their God-imbued and God Position elites did not die, but rather escaped along with Martial City.
"Martial Emperor, won't you come out to meet us?" the Martial Emperor asked.
"A bunch of bereaved dogs who have even lost their own countries dare to bare their fangs before me, Martial Emperor. You have already lost your Imperial City, and yet you still dare to act blindly in front of me?"
Chu Yuan took one step forward, standing tall in the void, facing the Martial Dynasty head-on.
The crowd inside the Divine Martial Hall also came out. Even though they were not sure what the Martial Emperor intended to do, if the two most formidable existences within the Martial Domain clashed, there would certainly be an extraordinary spectacle to behold today.
"This emperor still has strong men within the country, it's only a matter of time before it is restored. Our forfeit of the Imperial City was merely a temporary retreat."
The Martial Emperor persistently maintained his composure,
He would obviously not let Chu Yuan easily commandeer and become the five-star Imperial Dynasty, replacing his Martial Dynasty.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to restore his country.
"Is that so?" Chu Yuan coldly snorted. "Your so-called retreat constitutes abandoning your people to the massacre by the Demon Abyss Corps. We don't need an emperor like you. It's better that you've come here- you've saved me the time looking for you. If I behead all of you and display it, my prestige would suffice to convince everyone."
"Such a lively event in the Martial Domain couldn't possibly be lacking this emperor's presence!"
Several figures emerged from the sky. Leading them was the Saint Lion Emperor, who had also arrived.
He sneered at this moment, "Martial Emperor, I've heard that you intend to unite the Martial Domain and become the five-star Imperial Dynasty? This emperor has come to join the fun."
