Chapter 845: Decisive Battle with Emperor Shu (Happy Year of the Ox!)
"Shi Xun, I knew all along that you harbored the heart of a wolf and the ambition of a wild beast!"
Saint King Dang Tu flew into a rage upon hearing this. Rising to his feet, he shouted, "His Majesty has only just died, and already you covet his position! His Majesty's body has not even gone cold! How can you all recommend him? I, Saint King Dang Tu, have been utterly loyal to His Majesty. Now that His Majesty has passed away, it should be I who inherit the Imperial Throne!"
Saint King Fang Gou's expression darkened as he raised his square hook. "There is only one position as Nether Capital Great Emperor. It must be decided by strength, not loyalty! Otherwise, how could we suppress petty villains? I propose that the strongest inherit the Imperial Throne!"
"Fang Gou, bullshit!"
Saint King Jin Du abruptly rose to his feet. "In the struggle for the Imperial Throne, power is king! What can a lone man, fighting by himself, possibly do to rule Nether Capital? My faction is the strongest. I shall be the Nether Capital Great Emperor!"
The eight Saint Kings bickered noisily, still fighting over the position of Nether Capital Great Emperor, when the ground suddenly shook violently. Amid earth-shaking tremors, some colossal thing blasted out from beneath the ground and burst through the soil!
It was the Five-Colored Ship. It tore through the earth of Nether Capital's Sixteenth Layer, trailing five-colored radiance as it roared out from underground.
Shi Xun and the other eight Saint Kings hurriedly looked over and could not help gaping in shock. A Blood River dozens of miles wide encircled the Five-Colored Ship, whistling and coiling into more than ten spiraling rings.
