Then, an incomparably terrifying azure dragon phantom let out a long roar and charged toward the man.
Boom...
Then, with a single deafening boom, the instant the azure dragon phantom collided with the white figure, the mighty Ninth Heaven of Heavenly Phenomenon Realm expert was directly reduced to a bloody mist, leaving not even a whole corpse.
In a rather luxurious residence in the Imperial Capital, Ling Xuntian saw the Ninth Heaven of Heavenly Phenomenon Realm expert in the sky get slapped to death by the Azure Emperor, and his eyes narrowed slightly!
"In this world, what there's never a shortage of are people blinded by greed and rushing to their deaths."
Ling Xuntian sighed and muttered to himself.
"However, this Azure Emperor is growing stronger and stronger. His strength is truly becoming more and more terrifying."
Ling Xuntian muttered to himself. However, a smile soon appeared on his face.
"Underworld, no matter how powerful an assassin organization you are, I'll take the Fifth with me to the Imperial Palace tomorrow and won't leave for the entire day. Let's see whether you dare assassinate my son in the Imperial Palace, right in front of the Azure Emperor."
Ling Xuntian snorted coldly and muttered to himself.
At this moment, throughout the Imperial Capital, the experts of the various factions saw the Ninth Heaven of Heavenly Phenomenon Realm expert get slapped to death by the Azure Emperor high in the sky, and fearful expressions appeared on their faces one after another.
So many years had passed, yet the pressure brought by the Azure Emperor had grown stronger and stronger.
Ten minutes later, the golden light on the Sky-Shaking Wandering Dragon Sword high in the sky vanished, and it slowly descended into Lu Chen's hand.
Only after seeing the Sky-Shaking Wandering Dragon Sword fall into Lu Chen's hand did the Azure Emperor descend from the sky to stand beside him.
"Thank you, Imperial Father!"
The Azure Emperor had just stopped the ill-intentioned people around them who wanted to seize the Sky-Shaking Wandering Dragon Sword. Lu Chen had seen it all.
Seeing the Azure Emperor land beside him, a brilliant smile appeared on Lu Chen's face as he spoke.
"Chen'er, I know that your opportunities are heaven-defying and your talent is extraordinary, and that you possess an exceptionally terrifying special constitution. Therefore, I won't ask where this Immortal Grade Sky-Shaking Wandering Dragon Sword came from."
The Azure Emperor looked at Lu Chen with a complicated expression and slowly spoke.
Hearing this, Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
He had been worrying just now about how he would explain things if the Azure Emperor saw his Immortal Grade Sky-Shaking Wandering Dragon Sword.
He had never expected the Azure Emperor to be so understanding, knowing not to ask about what shouldn't be asked.
Not bad, not bad.
"However, Chen'er, remember this well: before you possess matching strength, you must not be too high-profile. You must understand that while an ordinary man is innocent, possessing a jade makes him guilty!"
The Azure Emperor earnestly educated his youngest son.
Hearing this, Lu Chen put on an obedient expression and nodded repeatedly.
Yet inwardly, he felt somewhat helpless.
How could I possibly tell you that your son has already reached the Land Immortal Realm?
As long as I don't face an expert of the Heavenly Human Realm like you, Imperial Father, I'm basically invincible.
Most importantly, I also have the terrifying Underworld assassin organization under my command.
There's Emperor Fengdu of the Heavenly Human Realm, not to mention the Four Directional Ghost Kings at the Ninth Heaven of Land Immortal Realm and the others.
With such immense forces under my command, what do I have to fear?
However, Lu Chen truly had no way to explain these things to the Azure Emperor.
More importantly, Lu Chen feared that if he revealed his strength outright, it would make it inconvenient to complete the various childish missions issued by the Reversal System in the future.
"That's enough. Hurry up and rest. You're the protagonist of tomorrow's engagement banquet, so you'll have plenty to keep you busy."
Seeing the obedient Lu Chen, the Azure Emperor nodded in satisfaction.
He then vanished directly from the spot.
After the Azure Emperor left, Lu Chen held the Sky-Shaking Wandering Dragon Sword and sensed the changes within it.
The most important sign of its upgrade from top-grade Heaven Rank to Immortal Grade was that the Sky-Shaking Wandering Dragon Sword had developed sentience.
At this moment, Lu Chen faintly felt that he could communicate with the Sky-Shaking Wandering Dragon Sword.
"Little Sword, come on, do a somersault."
Lu Chen spoke.
The next moment, the Sky-Shaking Wandering Dragon Sword, hovering in midair, immediately did a somersault on its own.
Then, like a little child, it circled around Lu Chen,
as if saying, "Look, I did a somersault! Hurry up and praise me, hurry up and praise me!"
Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on Lu Chen's face.
He extended a finger and flicked the body of the Sky-Shaking Wandering Dragon Sword, which let out a clear, ringing sound.
Holding the Sky-Shaking Wandering Dragon Sword, Lu Chen narrowed his eyes and remembered the technique he had chosen from the Royal Treasury.
The Sword Drawing Heaven Severing Art.
At this moment, Lu Chen had already mastered the Sword Drawing Heaven Severing Art.
Unfortunately, there were no enemies around, so he had no way to test the might of the Sword Drawing Heaven Severing Art.
Shaking his head regretfully, Lu Chen's mind stirred, and the Sky-Shaking Wandering Dragon Sword instantly transformed into a streak of golden light and flew into his right palm.
A small silver sword tattoo appeared on Lu Chen's right palm.
This was also an additional function the Sky-Shaking Wandering Dragon Sword had gained after upgrading into an Immortal Grade Supreme Treasure.
It could directly fuse with the body, making it much more convenient to carry and use.
After returning to the secret chamber, Lu Chen began contemplating the Demon God Contemplation Diagram.
Behind Lu Chen, a Demon God Dharma Form radiating a terrifying aura also appeared,
and as time passed, the Demon God Dharma Form behind Lu Chen underwent minute changes, becoming increasingly detailed.
The night passed without incident.
The next day...
The Imperial Palace was extremely lively.
The Great Gate of the Imperial Palace stood wide open, and representatives of one powerful faction after another entered the palace in succession.
The four great sects, the two great academies, the four great clans, and the civil and military officials of Great Qian—even the various nations surrounding Great Qian had sent representatives to offer their congratulations.
This was the influence and appeal of the Great Qian Divine Dynasty.
After all, there were a total of six Human Nations throughout the Eastern Cang Region.
And Great Qian was the strongest among them.
After the representatives of the various factions arrived, they first waited and rested in the Guest Reception Hall, waiting for the Azure Emperor's summons to proceed to the Dragon-Phoenix Hall and witness Lu Chen and Luo Li's engagement ceremony before heading to Tianyuan Hall for the banquet.
At eight in the morning, Lu Chen and Luo Li were in the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion, being fussed over by the maids. The two of them wore extremely elaborate red dragon-and-phoenix robes.
At this moment, Lu Chen looked toward Luo Li, and Double Pupils appeared in his eyes, golden light flickering within them.
Then, Lu Chen looked at Luo Li's fortune.
Whoa...
The instant Lu Chen saw Luo Li's fortune, he couldn't help exclaiming softly in surprise.
It was because, without warning, Luo Li's entire body was enveloped in purple-gold fortune.
Her vast fortune transformed into a Young Phoenix, soaring above Luo Li's head.
At this moment, Lu Chen finally understood why the Azure Emperor had been so eager to bring her into the old Lu family.
Luo Li's fortune was actually not much weaker than that of the Azure Emperor, the emperor of Great Qian,
and Luo Li's fortune was even purer than the Azure Emperor's.
"Mm? Brother Lu Chen, what's wrong?"
At this moment, Luo Li saw Lu Chen looking at her, especially his unusual eyes, and a confused expression immediately appeared on her face.
"Nothing. I was just looking at you."
Lu Chen smiled.
At this moment, after the representatives from Great Qian and the surrounding nations had been invited to the Dragon-Phoenix Hall, Lu Chen and Luo Li were also supported by the maids as they arrived at the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion.
The instant Lu Chen and Luo Li, who looked like a golden boy and jade maiden, appeared in the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion,
countless pairs of eyes in the hall turned toward them in perfect unison.
