Kill the Sun Moon Emperor (Please Keep Reading)

Beneath the imperial city!

The Imperial Dragon Soul Engineer Corps, which answered directly to the Sun Moon Imperial Family, had just formed ranks. Word had reached them that three members of the imperial family had been killed in a busy street.

The news threw the entire imperial family into an uproar. This was a challenge to their authority. If it went unpunished, what dignity would they have left?

Xu Nige, commander of the Imperial Dragon Soul Engineer Corps, swept out his hand and roared with murderous fury:

"Someone killed members of our imperial family! Everyone, follow me. We'll tear the killers to pieces and feed them to the dogs."

"Kill them!" Every member of the Imperial Dragon Soul Engineer Corps belonged to the imperial family, and they were eager for a fight.

Just then, Lin Feng and Ah Yin arrived.

The Imperial Dragon Soul Engineer Corps stood before them in heavy silver Soul Tool armor, carrying heavy silver Soul Tool shields and swords. The entire corps was armed to the teeth.

This was still thousands of years before the many novel varieties of Soul Cannon would appear. Even the Sun Moon Empire relied mainly on bladed Soul Tools.

"Black bastards. So many black bastards. All twelve hundred men in this corps are black!"

"Good. Once I kill you all, there'll be at least half as many black bastards left in the Sun Moon Empire!"

At those words, Xu Nige and every member of the Imperial Dragon Soul Engineer Corps turned vicious eyes on Lin Feng and Ah Yin.

"What beautiful women..."

"Wait. You're the ones who killed our imperial family members!"

"Brothers, form ranks and charge! Capture those women, and we'll reward the whole army with them. I, Xu Nige, hate wasting food. I eat every last grain of rice in my bowl. Catch them, and everyone can take a turn."

The black men of the Imperial Dragon Soul Engineer Corps erupted in excitement.

"Long live the commander!"

Lin Feng gave a cold smile and activated Martial Soul Possession. A pair of multicolored wings spread from his back.

Black!

Black!

Black!

Black!

Black!

Red!

Red!

Red!

With each Soul Ring that appeared, the cheering fell quieter. When all eight rings—five black and three red—had emerged, the entire field went silent. It was so still that a falling needle could have been heard.

What kind of monster was this?

He had absorbed five Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings and three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings.

Those three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings nearly made the black men's legs give out. As sons of the imperial family, they spent their days walking their birds and watching plays. They even found substitutes for training. Apart from their excellent Soul Tool equipment, what fighting ability did these spoiled young men have?

Lin Feng raised a hand. "First Soul Skill: Touch of Green Wood!"

In an instant, hundreds upon hundreds of Azure Vine tendrils surged out like snakes and pythons, rampaging through the Imperial Dragon Soul Engineer Corps.

Blades, axes, and flames did nothing to the vines. The imperial scions shrieked for their parents as the tendrils lashed them.

The python-like vines coiled around them and tightened bit by bit, crushing bone and sinew. Amid piercing screams, they became heaps of mangled flesh and blood.

Xu Nige summoned his Martial Soul. He possessed the Sun Martial Soul and was an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo.

Now his face was twisted with terror. He stumbled backward, hacking left and right with his heavy sword to sever the vines.

"Devil! You're a devil! His Majesty won't spare you! The Sun Moon Empire won't spare you!"

Lin Feng looked at Xu Nige. His eyes flashed, and he unleashed a mental paralysis ray. Two beams of divine light struck Xu Nige in an instant.

Xu Nige stiffened, his eyes bulged, and he fell with a thud.

Vines wrapped around him and crushed his bones. They also stripped away his heavy Soul Tool armor, shield, and sword, along with his Storage Soul Tool.

The other members of the Imperial Dragon Soul Engineer Corps met the same fate. Once their bones had been crushed, the vines stripped them of their Soul Tools.

Lin Feng put everything into a Storage Soul Tool and took it with him.

"Every piece is a Soul Tool. Good stuff. I want more than the finished products, though. I want the designs too. I'll look for them in the palace."

After collecting the Soul Tools, Lin Feng set the bodies ablaze, burning away every trace of the carnage.

Ah Yin could hardly bear to look. The scene had been far too bloody. She did not quite understand why Lin Feng hated the Sun Moon Imperial Family so much, but she was sure he had his reasons.

She would not try to dissuade him. Instead, she turned her head away from the bloodshed.

With the Imperial Dragon Soul Engineer Corps destroyed, Lin Feng stormed into the palace.

"Who goes there? How dare you attack the palace? Surrender at once!"

A group of Imperial Household Consecrates rushed over.

Lin Feng looked them over. Not one was a Titled Douluo; all of them were Soul Douluo.

It seemed the Sun Moon Continent was like the Douluo Continent. Ten thousand years ago, Titled Douluo were rare, and a Soul Douluo was already formidable enough to stand on their own.

Not all the consecrates were black.

So Lin Feng gave them a chance:

"I'm only killing the black ones. Everyone else, step aside, and I'll let you live."

The consecrates had also seen Lin Feng's Soul Rings by then. Five black and three red—what the hell kind of monster was he? They all stared in shock.

At his words, some of the more timid consecrates stepped aside, exposing two dark-skinned men among them.

Lin Feng looked at the pair and swept out his hand.

"Fourth Soul Skill: Platinum Army Breaker!"

In an instant, hundreds upon hundreds of golden feathers riddled the two dark-skinned consecrates with holes.

They had tried to resist, using defensive Soul Skills. But against Platinum Army Breaker, a skill made specifically to pierce armor, their defenses were useless.

With nothing left to bar his way, Lin Feng strode toward the Sun Moon Palace, where the emperor was.

Outside the Sun Moon Palace!

The emperor's personal guards—three hundred members of the Royal Soul Engineer Corps—stood in orderly ranks, ready for battle. They wore heavy golden Soul Tool armor and carried heavy golden Soul Tool shields and swords.

"You traitor! Which prince or duke hired you? How dare you show His Majesty such disrespect? Leave at once, or there'll be nowhere in the entire Sun Moon Empire for you to hide."

Their legs were trembling, yet they still stood in his way. Lin Feng raised both hands.

"If you're so eager to die, then die."

The next moment, hundreds upon hundreds of Azure Vine tendrils surged out, just as they had against the Imperial Dragon Soul Engineer Corps.

The vines strangled the members of the Royal Soul Engineer Corps and stripped every Soul Tool from their bodies.

Screams rang out as blood and torn flesh covered the ground outside the Sun Moon Palace.

Before Linked Soul Tools existed, low-level Soul Masters could only be slaughtered when they faced high-level Soul Masters.

After killing every member of the Royal Soul Engineer Corps, Lin Feng entered the Sun Moon Palace. There he found the old emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, a black man on the verge of death.

The old man was so frightened he had wet himself, but he pointed at Lin Feng and blustered:

"Who are you? How dare you fight your way into the Sun Moon Imperial Capital? With a single decree, I can summon every army in the land to defend me! They'll leave you without a place to be buried!"

Lin Feng's face twisted in disgust at the reek of urine. He could not be bothered to say another word.

"Second Soul Skill: Crimson Fire Scorches the Heavens!"

Flames swept through the Sun Moon Palace. The old emperor's screams echoed through the hall before he became a charred corpse.

Lin Feng then began searching the palace. He intended to kill any remaining members of the black bloodline and empty the Sun Moon Imperial Family's treasury.

Anything he could carry, he took: Soul Tools and their designs, rare metals, gold, silver, and Copper Soul Coins, gemstones of every color, pearls, and glass...

In the history of the Sun Moon Empire, that day became known as the Emperor's Day of Blood. From then on, the Sun lineage of the Sun Moon Empire was completely extinguished.

It also laid the groundwork for the rise of the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon Lineage...

But that was a story for another time.
