Above Tribulation Transcendence Was Immortality, the Divine Dynasty's Imperial Son-in-law!
Just as Chen Changqing was stunned, Empress Liuye, who was already kneeling beside him, urgently shouted:
"Kid!"
"What are you standing there for? Kneel down right now!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing snapped out of his reverie and sighed inwardly:
"Who is this True Lord?"
"Isn't that ridiculously strong?"
"When they saw him Tribulation Transcendence, they all immediately knelt down?"
Thinking it over, Chen Changqing bowed slightly to the newcomer, but did not kneel down.
After all, he wasn't a member of the Imperial Dynasty; how could he possibly kneel down so easily?
Empress Liuye's pupils dilated upon seeing this.
Thinking to himself, Chen Changqing was far too audacious; how dare he not kneel before True Lord?
If this angers the True Lord, killing him would be an easy task for the latter.
Fortunately, the old man didn't seem to care. His gaze sharpened and landed directly on the Chu Emperor.
Being stared at like that by the old man, the Chu Emperor felt his heart pound and goosebumps rose all over his body.
"Don't you know that wars between Imperial Dynasties are forbidden without the approval of the Divine Dynasty?"
The old man questioned coldly, his voice booming like a great bell.
Upon hearing this, the Chu Emperor broke out in a cold sweat, all traces of his previous arrogance vanished.
You must know, the other party is True Lord of the Divine Dynasty!
Even though he was a powerful cultivator in the Late Tribulation Transcendence, he still possessed the Immortal Artifact, the Blood Prison Soul-Suppressing Blade.
But in the eyes of the True Lord, they were no different from ants.
Shocked, the Chu Emperor quickly explained:
"True Lord!"
"Yes... it was a moment of confusion; I was blinded by anger!"
"After all, Chen Changqing killed my son."
"I..."
Before the Chu Emperor could finish speaking, the old man scoffed coldly.
"Boom!"
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying aura erupted and pressed down directly towards the Chu Emperor.
Under the oppressive aura, the Chu Emperor was completely subdued and unable to resist in the slightest!
"If it weren't for the fact that your ancestors had some connections with me..."
"You're already a dead man."
The old man spoke in a cold, indifferent tone, his voice carrying an undeniable authority.
The Chu Emperor lay prostrate in mid-air, his face contorted in pain.
The old man didn't seem to care and continued:
"The Human King had already said this before the Hundred Dynasties War began."
"Within this Secret Realm, life and death are irrelevant!"
"And..."
At this point, the old man suddenly paused, then turned his gaze to Chen Changqing, adding:
"Moreover, this young man is the champion of this Hundred Dynasties War."
"He is the Imperial Son-in-law of our Divine Dynasty!"
"You dare to kill the prince consort of the Divine Dynasty? Do you really think you have too much of a life to live?"
Faced with the old man's questioning, the Chu Emperor was speechless, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
You must understand, the position of the imperial consort of the Divine Dynasty is one of true and unparalleled prestige!
The current Human King only has three daughters; one can imagine how prestigious the status of his son-in-law must have been.
Startled, the Chu Emperor quickly spoke:
"True Lord!"
"I... I know I was wrong."
Upon hearing this, the old man's gaze darkened, and he shouted sharply:
"Roll!"
"If you dare to overstep this line again, you will be killed without mercy!"
Hearing the old man's rebuke, the Chu Emperor, despite his resentment, dared not act rashly again.
As the old man withdrew the oppressive aura from him, he hurriedly stood up and fled without looking back.
At the same time, the emperors of the other Imperial Dynasties who had come with the Chu Emperor dared not linger for even a moment and scattered like birds and beasts.
The True Lord spared the Chu Emperor because of a past connection with the Chu Emperor.
But they didn't have that kind of relationship.
If the True Lord were to attack them, it would be a losing proposition.
Chen Changqing was deeply shocked after witnessing this scene.
"This is a true powerhouse!"
"Simply by showing himself, without even making a move, he repelled a group of Tribulation Transcendence experts!"
Chen Changqing sighed inwardly, his eyes becoming incredibly determined.
"One day, I will become such a strong person!"
Through this battle, Chen Changqing also clearly realized that although he was one of the nine Nascent Soul, he was still somewhat inadequate in the face of true powerhouses!
He can now defy the Spirit Transformation.
However, if they encounter a powerful being at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, they become somewhat helpless.
Just as Chen Changqing was lost in thought, the old man looked at him and said calmly:
"You're pretty good, kid!"
Don't worry!
"Within the territory of my Imperial Dynasty, from this day forward, no one will dare to cause you any trouble."
At this point, the old man paused, glanced at Liu Ye, and then continued:
"Three days later!"
"I have come to escort you to the Divine Dynasty to receive your titles!"
After saying this, the old man didn't linger and disappeared without a trace.
Once the old man left, the power that had imprisoned this area dissipated.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huff huff..."
Empress Liuye caught her breath.
Thinking that if it weren't for the arrival of the Divine Dynasty True Lord, even with Immortal Artifacts and the blessing of the Imperial Dynasty, she would probably have had difficulty stopping Chu Emperor and the others!
Fortunately, with the intervention of the Divine Dynasty True Lord, from now on, the Chu Emperor and others will no longer dare to harm Chen Changqing.
Chen Changqing stood in the void, looking thoughtful.
"What exactly does this 'Human King' mean?"
He muttered to himself, somewhat puzzled.
After all, it was the Human King who exposed him during the previous Hundred Dynasties War, and even issued Bounty Order, making him a target of everyone in the Secret Realm.
Chen Changqing originally thought that the Human King wanted to kill him.
That's why he hadn't expected the Divine Dynasty to send someone to handle this matter.
However, the appearance of the Divine Dynasty True Lord made Chen Changqing realize that things were not as he had thought.
After all, if the Human King truly wanted him dead, there was no need to send the Divine Dynasty True Lord.
Just as Chen Changqing was lost in thought, Empress Liuye turned her gaze and looked at him.
"You little rascal, you're really bold!"
"They dare not kneel before the True Lord of the Divine Dynasty."
Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing snapped out of his thoughts and asked curiously:
"Uncle-Master Liu."
"Is 'True Lord' a title for a realm of cultivation?"
Upon hearing Chen Changqing's question, Empress Liuye paused for a moment before explaining:
"You have now reached the Nascent Soul stage."
"There are some things you should know."
"In the Nine Provinces Continent, the cultivation path, from lowest to highest, consists of Qi Nourishing, Body Refining, Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Golden Core, Purple Mansion, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, and Tribulation Transcendence."
"And the Tribulation Transcendence is preparation for ascension."
"Of course, some people fail during the ascension process."
"Although they failed, their strength surpassed that of those Tribulation Transcendence, yet they did not ascend."
Such beings are Pseudo-Immortals, or Half-Immortal.
He is also known as the True Lord!
After Empress Liuye's explanation, Chen Changqing nodded in understanding.
At this moment, Empress Liuye continued:
"These monarch-level powerhouses possess endless lifespans, immortal Divine Bodies, indestructible cores, and eternally existing divine souls."
"They can traverse the universe with their physical bodies, and can easily destroy an Imperial City with a single blow."
"On the Nine Provinces Continent, such beings are practically all ancient monsters who guard sects!"
