In a flash, the brilliant strike sent Haimountain reeling through the air, as though he was about to be torn apart. Continue your adventure with My Virtual Library Empire


    However, he was extraordinarily stubborn, bearing the pain without letting out a single scream.


    Only when the glow faded did Haimountain finally fall from the sky. He was in a pitiful state, with horrifying tears all over his body. If not for his strong mana, both Hailan and Haiyao would have been killed on the spot.


    "We''ve lost!"


    pronounced Hailan with fear.


    The move just now had almost killed Haimountain.


    "Martial Emperor, we three elders admit defeat!" Haimountain turned pale and weakly said, "We will leave the Origin Spirit Realm immediately and find a place where Dawu doesn''t exist!"@@@@


    "If you want to leave, it''s impossible!" Chu Yuan said dominantly, "Right now, I give you two ways out. Either die, or submit."


    "It''s absolutely impossible for us to submit!"


    Haimountain''s face was twisted with rage.


    "If you want to die, I can oblige as well."


    With a wave of Chu Yuan''s hand, countless demonic beasts appeared as if they had crawled out of Hell, making ghastly wailing noises, and began crawling towards Haimountain City in the most terrifying manner.


    If he couldn''t subdue these three Haimountain elders, he didn''t care. He would simply kill them and extract their mystical laws.


    "No, no, ancestors, save us!"


    Numerous people screamed in horror.


    "Why do you push so hard!"


    Haimountain''s tone was filled with a plea for mercy.


    "Then perish."


    Chu Yuan''s brilliance appeared in a flash, this time targeting Hailan, intending to kill with one blow.


    "I..."


    Hailan felt the breath of death approaching as her eyes pleaded for help from Haimountain.


    "We...we submit!"


    Struggle seemed insignificant in the face of the general trend. Haimountain knew that if he resisted any more, the only outcome would be death. This Martial Emperor wouldn''t show mercy.


    This man in front of them was an Emperor.


    Would someone capable of being an Emperor be benevolent? Mercy was a quality of incompetence-to be an Emperor. Killing everyone in Haimountain City wouldn''t make him bat an eyelash.


    "Haimountain, kneels before Your Majesty!"


    "Master of Flame Demon!"


    Upon arrival, Haimountain shouted towards the deepest place of Flame Demon''s Paradise.


    "The three Haimountain elders, Haimountain and Haiyao!"


    A voice echoed from the depths of the Paradise, followed by a burly and fierce middle-aged man, with a flame mark on his forehead. His cultivation was profound, as a peerless master of Mystic Gods with five layers, even higher than Haimountain.


    "The two of you are rare guests. Coming to my Flame Demon''s Paradise today, is there any urgent matter? Please come in and take a seat."


    The relationship between Haimountain''s three elders and his Flame Demon''s Paradise was extremely distant, so the Master of Flame Demon''s Paradise felt a bit surprised.


    "No need for a seat, today we came to announce a decree." said Haimountain.


    "Decree?" Master of Flame Demon''s Paradise''s eyebrows furrowed, then he exclaimed in shock, "Could it be that Martial Emperor''s decree!"


    "You guessed it right, it''s His Majesty''s decree."


    Haimountain unfolded the decree.


    Suddenly, divine light radiated. The decree flew into the sky, bright characters appeared, reflecting the image mid-air.


    Even though it was just a decree, it contained Chu Yuan''s charisma, and exploded with overwhelming pressure.


    Under this divine light, Master of Flame Demon''s Paradise''s face changed instantly.


    "Emperor Dawu wants me to submit Flame Demon''s Paradise to Dawu, otherwise, the army will arrive by nightfall and flatten Flame Demon''s Paradise!"


    Master of Flame Demon''s Paradise immediately looked at Haimountain, "Haimountain, you brought the decree. Could it be you have submitted to the Martial Emperor?"


    "Indeed, the three Haimountain elders have all submitted to Dawu, becoming the subjects of Dawu. The Martial Emperor''s strength is terrifying. We three elders tried to resist but couldn''t. Being ignorant will only lead to death, the only option is to submit."


    Haimountain''s face was bitter.


    He realized Chu Yuan''s intention of letting him proclaim this decree.


    He wanted to use him, a living example, to tell the Master of Flame Demon''s Paradise that if he could subdue a master like Haimountain, he could also subdue Flame Demon''s Paradise.


    At this moment, more masters appeared from the Paradise, and as they looked up at the decree in the sky, they said, "Master."


    "If I don''t ally, will the Martial Emperor really flatten Flame Demon''s Paradise?"


    The Master of Flame Demon''s Paradise asked.


    "Yes, His Majesty always keeps his word, you know better than me. Anybody can be benevolent, except for the Emperor. You know, if you don''t submit, Flame Demon''s Paradise might be strong, but it will also face annihilation."


    Haimountain said, "I am just a messenger. What happens next, the decision is yours. If we come next time, it''d be a war of destruction."


    "I understand."


    The Master of Flame Demon''s Paradise''s burly body looked very weak. His eyes reflected a lot of thoughts in a flash. Finally, he said, "Tomorrow, I''ll go with you to Dawu Imperial City and hand over the seal of the Paradise!"
