Chen Yi had actually arrived long ago.
It had taken less than two and a half seconds. Very quickly.
The reason he had not shown himself was because this woman Liu Ruyan had acted on her own without reporting in, before receiving any instructions!
If she had been forced, then it would have been understandable. After all, she would have had no control over herself, and Chen Yi naturally would not blame her.
But noon tomorrow was the final deadline. During this time, no one had forced her at all—she had rushed forward to throw her life away herself!
What?
Did she think this group leader was some summoned beast she could call whenever she wanted and dismiss whenever she pleased?
If he did not teach her a lesson, would she not be climbing onto the roof and tearing off the tiles in the future?
Only by drawing infinitely close to death could one understand the true meaning of life!
Chen Yi shot a disdainful glance at Liu Ruyan, whose long pink tongue hung out even as she retained her mature charm. With a flick of his hand, he slapped her Primordial Spirit, which had already begun to scatter, back into her corpse that still retained a trace of warmth.
Everything happened in an instant. Only then did the two Imperial Guards watching over Liu Ruyan's suicide notice Chen Yi, who had appeared out of nowhere.
"Who goes there?!"
"Anyone who trespasses into the inner palace dies!"
The voices of the two castrated Imperial Guards were rather soft and shrill, but their movements were ferocious and domineering as they brandished cold gleaming sabers and charged forward.
Chen Yi examined the pair with interest. Then, with a sweep of his divine sense, the two Imperial Guards seemed to have had their pause buttons pressed. They froze in midair, wide open down the middle.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. The laws of this world are rather interesting..."
"Taking the Imperial Dynasty's Fortune as the foundation for cultivation, imperial edicts could become a special sub-category of rules acknowledged by the Heavenly Dao. So even after reaching ninety thousand combat power, roughly equivalent to the late Golden Core stage, and attaining the realm where severed limbs could regenerate, they still could not regrow their manhood?"
"No, that's not right. This rule is that, aside from the emperor, not a single gun is allowed to appear in the inner palace!"
"Wait, you even want to castrate me? You've got some nerve!"
Chen Yi's gaze sharpened. In an instant, his overwhelming will crushed the restless power of those special rules surrounding him!
The chat group's concealment power only shielded one from the Heavenly Dao's perception; it did not block this kind of rule power that applied only within the imperial palace.
If any group member with combat power below one hundred million had come to carry out this mission today, they would likely have gotten a taste of the agony of losing their root of love.
Although this one-star ordinary clone of Chen Yi had not suffered a loss, he still felt deeply offended!
Especially now.
After being crushed, that special rule revived from the vast Imperial Dynasty's Fortune. It even manifested into countless sharp little blades, determined to cut away the thing that should not exist in the inner palace!
His fist hardened. His fist had hardened!
Chen Yi's gaze instantly darkened.
He had originally intended to finish the mission quietly and leave it at that. There was no need to confront this world's Heavenly Dao head-on. After all, this world was of quite a high level. If things truly escalated, that damned Tribulation Transcendence would surely come join the fun.
But the other side not only failed to appreciate his restraint—it was pushing its luck!
It actually wanted to castrate even him. It really could not tell the Big Joker from the Little Joker!
"Scram!"
Chen Yi spoke with the authority of heaven. The moment that single word left his lips, a great halberd manifested and, like a plow sweeping through a courtyard and clearing out a nest, crushed the castration blades formed from the special imperial rules!
Its momentum did not stop. With the force of ten thousand jun, it slammed heavily into the dragon vein beneath this place!
Buzzzzz!!!
The earth trembled. The slumbering Imperial Dynasty's Fortune awakened in an instant. Above the resplendent imperial palace, a dazzling golden dragon head of national fortune slowly emerged. Terrifying pressure poured down as its blazing dragon eyes stared directly at Chen Yi within the inner palace.
"By decree of the Great Zhou Emperor: no man may enter the inner palace. Violators shall be castrated!"
A majestic voice exploded like thunder. The national fortune dragon head opened its mouth and spat out ten million castration blades toward Chen Yi.
Chen Yi remained calm. "You don't get to decide. My rules are the rules!"
With that, he no longer concealed his aura. It erupted forth—the Tribulation Transcendence peak!
In an instant, the body of the golden dragon of national fortune shook violently and became far less solid.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!!!
At the same time, thunder rumbled across the heavens as rolling black clouds gathered in an instant.
At the same time, the chat group's notification sounded.
Warning! Due to your excessive arrogance, you have exceeded the limit of what the chat group's concealment power can withstand. The Heavenly Dao of this world has discovered you. Please protect the corresponding group member, or the mission will be deemed a failure upon settlement.
"I don't give a damn about any of that. If I don't strip the sinews from this wicked dragon of national fortune today, my thoughts won't flow freely!"
Chen Yi directly closed the notification window. Still, he casually layered a protective shield over Liu Ruyan, who lay there playing dead. Only then did he pull out two purple beads and crush them, summoning two spare one-star clones from within.
Of course, this was not to fuse and elevate them into a two-star clone. That would directly bring down the damned Tribulation Transcendence.
Instead, he wanted these two one-star clones to withstand the pressure from this world's Heavenly Dao!
That way, the one-star clone carrying out the mission would no longer have any misgivings. It directly condensed a ten-thousand-zhang Dharma Idol, then grabbed the Great Zhou golden dragon of national fortune by the neck and violently dragged it completely out of Great Zhou's sea of fortune!
"Stop!"
Only when the golden dragon of national fortune suffered calamity did the Great Zhou Imperial Clan finally react. Several towering figures shot into the sky from deep within the imperial palace.
"The second-generation King Zhenbei is here! Traitorous rebels, do not run wild!"
"The Thirteenth Grandson of the Taizu still lives! All who rebel against Great Zhou shall be slain!"
"Transmit the emperor's decree! Whoever takes his head may be named King of the First Rank!!!"
"General Lingling requests battle!"
Warriors also stepped forth from within the imperial city, charging fiercely toward that ten-thousand-zhang Dharma Idol that held up heaven and earth.
But unfortunately, numbers could not erase the gap. They were merely ants whose combat power hovered around the ten-million mark. Trying to assault Chen Yi's nine hundred million combat power was no different from an egg striking a rock!
If the Great Zhou Emperor were still in his prime, he might have been able to exchange a few moves with Chen Yi by relying on the immense national fortune.
But one who bore fortune could not live forever. He was now decrepit with age, unable even to rise from his bed. Even the golden dragon of national fortune had become listless as a result, allowing Chen Yi to seize its throat of fate without expending the slightest effort.
"Scram!"
Again, it was a simple and brutal single word.
In an instant, whether they were King Zhenbei or descendants of the Taizu, all of them were blasted away, their life and death unknown.
Then, Chen Yi, whose ferocity had been stirred, turned back around.
Slap! Slap!
He ruthlessly lashed the golden dragon of national fortune's head with two resounding slaps. After scattering its protective true intent, he cruelly thrust his hand directly into the dragon's body and forcibly pulled out a dragon sinew formed from the will of the Great Zhou Imperial Clan. The emperor's edict of "no man may enter the inner palace" was inscribed upon it.
In that instant, the legitimacy of the Great Zhou Emperor's descendants suffered a devastating blow.
Without the blessing of the Imperial Dynasty's Fortune, the Great Zhou Imperial Clan cultivators who had just been blasted away and were sitting cross-legged to regulate their breathing after suffering severe injuries instantly lost most of their strength. They only had time to let out a miserable cry before dying on the spot!
Those like General Lingling, who had answered the emperor's decree to suppress the traitor, also suffered a backlash. Their injuries worsened in an instant, their auras withering to the extreme. It was clear they would not live much longer.
Great Zhou would become a thing of the past at this moment. If not for Chen Yi still being here to suppress everything, this immense fortune would likely have already scattered in all directions to seek another worthy lord.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!!!
Seeing its home reduced to chaos by this visitor from another world, the Heavenly Dao of this world flew into a rage. The clear skies spanning ten thousand miles were instantly covered by incomparably heavy black clouds. Yet the light did not vanish—it transformed from sunlight into lightning so brilliant that no one could look directly at it!
The Heavenly Dao of this world had gone mad. Even if it had to exhaust the strength of the entire world, it would erase this damned visitor from another world!
