The Divine Martial Courtyard instantly fell silent.
All eyes were focused on one individual.
When he arrived, the halo around him did not dazzle. Dressed in a black imperial robe, with a profound aura, his hands wielded the power of slaughter. He slowly took his seat on the throne representing slaughter.
There was a set of stairs from the lower seats leading up to the Slaughter God Throne.
Upon those stairs, in everyone''s eyes, it seemed as if countless skeletons were laid out, forming a foundation for the fearsome figure seated on the throne.
Emperor Dawu, a conqueror of lands, swept the Shadow Valley and the Eastern Forbidden Land with his mighty army.
His single imperial decree could cost countless lives.
This, was the power of an emperor.
For Emperor Dawu, in these turbulent times, his imperial robe did not require dazzling colors. What it needed was the color of slaughter and gore, for that was what kept the world in order.
At this moment, all heads looked up to the unparalleled figure.
He appeared quite young, just like his young dynasty, but no one dared to underestimate him, for he was a formidable ruler.
Following his arrival, several figures came into view.
His empresses, Yaoling''er, Luo Yueying, and Shangguan Xian, all wore pristine new robes. These robes had neither dragon nor phoenix embroidered on them, there were no dazzling colors, no grandeur, only deep colors.
The clothing style of every kingdom varied.
Dawu had always been a martial nation and this was even more so under Chu Yuan''s reign.
His consorts'' robes lacked opulence and complexity, but carried a martial aura, symbolizing the Great Wu Dynasty''s dominance and the color of turbulent times.
"Those are the concubines of Dawu, the women of the Martial Emperor!"
These three women were radiant, causing a change in the spectators'' expressions.
The three consorts each had a different bearing.
Yaoling''er was like a goddess of medicine, an ethereal being akin to the queen of the spirits.
Luo Yueying epitomized the divine water spirit of the Luo Water Heavenly Palace. A vague immortal aura enveloped her, making her appear mysterious.
Shangguan Xian, with her celestial-like features, was incredibly stunning in the likeness of the most beautiful rose.
Moreover, they were all incredibly strong beings at the God Realm! Continue your journey with My Virtual Library Empire
The princesses, Chu Chenyao and Chu Xiaoniang, also made an appearance, there to witness the extraordinary figures from both the various dynasties and the rest of the world.
The two princesses found the scenery somewhat dreamy. These were the powerful figures of the eternal world. Several of them were from powerful forces on par with the emperors and had come to attend the Great Banquet in Dawu.
This was something they would not have dared to dream of in the past.
A storm was looming, and a great battle was about to begin.
Going to a banquet at such a time could put them in a position to form alliances and resist oppression from the five emperors.
Some things did not need to be said. When someone made an appearance, it told you everything you needed to know.
"On the day of the Imperial Banquet, I also hope to see all of you there."
Chu Yuan smiled, "Since it is a royal banquet, there shall be dining. Let the feast begin."
Once the feast was announced, there was hardly any change in the expressions of the people. They didn''t expect anything more than just having some rare and exotic delicacies. Anything they hadn''t tried before was just there for formalities.
The music started, robust and powerful, evoking the grand atmosphere of the battlefield.
One servant girl after another, holding their trays, served exquisite meals to the table of each distinguished guest.
"Let''s taste the cuisine of Great Dawu."
The Sacred Law God Realm figure opened a dish, and his face froze.
The dish he opened was not any kind of exotic cuisine, but a divine pill radiating godly light.
"An Emperor-grade Divine Pill, the God Blood Pill!"
The Sacred Law God figure opened another dish, and his face changed again. "This is the Emperor-grade Divine Pill, the Soul Nourishing Pill!"
The other dishes were opened one by one too. They were not food, but divine pills each of royal quality.
Emperor-grade Divine Pill was extremely precious, even in imperial dynasties. Although he was a high-ranking figure in an imperial dynasty, he wouldn''t use Emperor-grade Divine Pills for his daily cultivation. What he usually used for cultivation was mostly of royal quality.
Emperor-grade Divine Pill, even he, a godly being, would only use one or two in a hundred years.
Now that he had resources from Divine Mountain, he had just a little bit more.
"Emperor Dawu actually uses Emperor-grade Divine Pills for the royal feast!"
"Emperor-grade Divine Pills! These are invaluable Emperor-grade Divine Pills! The Blood God Pill accumulates blood energy, and the Soul Nourishing Pill nourishes the soul. These are all divine pills that Gods greatly need. His Majesty is truly generous."
"Every table has Emperor-grade Divine Pills. The foundation of Great Wu is too deep!"
The faces of these powerhouses were filled with joy. They have had their fill of exotic delicacies, even dragon liver and phoenix gall wouldn''t do any good. However, Emperor-grade Divine Pills truly delighted them.
Especially for a weaker godly power like the Xuan Ling Sect. They had no way to refine Emperor-grade Divine Pills themselves, and they had seen only a few in ten thousand years.
By just attending this royal banquet, they could take Emperor-grade Divine Pills, it was practically a huge bargain.
Then, the fine wine was served.
The wine was Great Wu''s Hundred Flowers Brew and Ice Spring Wine.
But this wine was specially brewed by Chu Yuan. The ingredients were all precious flowers from Divine Mountain, the water was the original water from Origin Lake.
