Chapter 2389: The Ninth Majesty
“Azure Peng King, stop!” A deafening voice rang out from the southern region. Ming Xie surged into the sky with a tremendous presence; he was furious. The energy around him churned like tidal waves as the power of laws revolved around him.
Against the infamous Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance, Ming Xie showed no fear. He used a God Tier Battle Skill and struck out.
Immediately, the pressure of the world crashed down. Ming Xie struck out with his full strength. With the might of the world, the God Tier Battle Skill collided with the Azure Peng King’s huge claw and erupted with a deafening boom.
In the sky, space formed web-like cracks as storms of energy wreaked havoc in the surroundings.
However, Ming Xie’s attack failed to harm the Azure Peng King at all. Instead, he became the Azure Peng King’s main target.
Immediately, the trajectory of the Azure Peng King’s talons changed, directly crushing down towards Ming Xie. Before they had even arrived, the terrifying killing intent had frozen the space around Ming Xie.
“Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance, how dare you attempt to kill me!” Ming Xie bellowed out furiously, and dazzling golden light enveloped him. A set of shining, impressive armor appeared on his body.
The armor was a defensive god artifact. It seemed to have fused with Ming Xie’s body. His presence immediately grew after he donned the armor.
However, Ming Xie was only a Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime. Compared to the infamous Azure Peng King, an insurmountable difference still existed. Even wearing the god artifact was not enough for him to stand against the Azure Peng King.
Of course, that was not the main use of the armor. When the armor appeared, the talons reaching towards Ming Xie came to a forceful stop. They froze in the air.
The golden armor was like a protective charm. As it enveloped Ming Xie with dazzling light, the Azure Peng King truly did not dare to let his astonishing strike land.
Be it the Righteous Alliance or the Four Symbols Alliance, all the peak experts were paying attention to the Pingtian Empire. They did not miss a single thing happening there.
As a result, when Ming Xie donned the armor, and the Azure Peng King’s attack came to a halt, the peak experts saw it all.
However, when they noticed Ming Xie’s armor, all of their hearts beat uncontrollably, and their faces changed.
They were all ancient existences. Who knows how many years they had been alive. They were insightful, so they immediately recognised what Ming Xie’s armor represented.
“It’s the specially-made armor from the Heaven Palace of Bisheng. H- he’s actually a divine general from the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng...”
“How is that possible? The Pingtian Empire is actually hiding a divine general from the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng...”
“A Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime divine general. A divine general like that is someone with quite the status within the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng...”
“But why has a divine general of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng come to our Cloud Plane...”
...
All the peak experts of the two alliances lost their composure when Ming Xie’s true identity was revealed.
In particular, the expressions of all the peak experts from the Four Symbols Alliance became ugly. They were filled with lingering fear.
As soon as they thought about how they had demanded Ming Xie yield, or they would execute him, their hearts grew a little cold.
What kind of organisation was the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng? It was an organisation that truly stood at the apex of the Saints’ World, a colossal entity that could not be shaken. Even without the Anatta Grand Exalt, the first majesty alone was enough to stand supreme.
Even though their Four Symbols Alliance was one of the most powerful organisations on the Cloud Plane, they were no different from child’s play before the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng.
“W- w- why would it be like this...” Zheng Wu had already become stunned. He stared at the armor on Ming Xie blankly; he was stupefied. His mind stopped working.
By now, Ming Xie no longer paid anymore attention to Zheng Hu and the others who had come with hostile intentions. He bathed in golden light as he shot off into outer space as a streak of light and faced the Azure Peng King.
“Divine general of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. Why is it you lot again?” The Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance bellowed furiously in outer space. His azure eyes shone with vicious light. Clearly, he was infuriated.
Previously, when he wanted to kill Ming Dong outside the Neptunean Divine Palace, he met the people from the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng and even drew out the first majesty. In the end, he suffered heavy injuries.
Now, he had come to the distant Cloud Plane and was just about to destroy the Tian Yuan clan founded by Jian Chen, but he came across someone from the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng again.
Moreover, it was a Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime divine general.
The Azure Peng King refused to accept this. He felt resentment that he could not vent.
A Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime divine general possessed a certain level of status within the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. Although he, the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance, was unruly, he was unable to truly act recklessly and lawlessly. He knew who he could offend and who he could not.
And even if he were ten times braver, he would never dare to touch the divine general before him, as the consequences would be even more severe than offending the Celestial Sword Saint. If worst came to worst, he would draw out the first majesty again.
“Azure Peng King, if you destroy the Tian Yuan clan, I, Ming Dong, will destroy you!” At this moment, a call rang out from below. The furious white-robed Ming Dong flew out from the Tian Yuan clan. Under the watch of all the peak experts on the Cloud Plane, he charged into outer space fearlessly and stared at the Azure Peng King angrily.
“Who is this young man? How bold of him...”
“This young man truly is ignorant to speak to the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance like that, or perhaps he has some astonishing background?”
“Hmm? This young man... I remember him. Doesn’t that divine general from the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng always follow him around...”
“Has the divine general always been protecting this young man? Heavens, just what is this young man’s identity?”
...
When Ming Dong appeared, all the peak experts on the Cloud Plane cried out. They fell into emotional turmoil.
“You want to destroy me? Just with you, an ant-like Godking?” The Azure Pen King was utterly angered by Ming Dong’s words. Intense killing intent radiated from him, freezing space and expanding towards Ming Dong like a flood.
Ming Xie arrived before Ming Dong with a flash and blocked the Azure Peng King’s killing intent. He said coldly, “Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance, he does indeed have the ability.”
The eyes of the Azure Peng King narrowed. He stared at Ming Dong with a piercing gaze for a while before looking at Ming Xie. He asked coldly, “Just who is he?”
“The ninth majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng!” With that, a barrier appeared, preventing the voice from spreading.
“What!”
As soon as the Azure Peng King heard those words, his colossal body immediately tremored. He cried out, “Impossible! The Heavenly Palace of Bisheng only has eight majesties, and some of them have even died. Where did the ninth majesty come from? I- is....”
Towards the end, the Azure Peng King seemed to realise something and shock filled his eyes.
The Heavenly Palace of Bisheng only had eight majesties. This was common knowledge in the Saints’ World.
All the experts in the Saints’ World knew that the Anatta Grand Prime of the seven Grand Exalts of the Saints’ World died over three million years ago.
After Anatta’s death, it was impossible for the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng to gain a ninth majesty.
Even if the first majesty, Yi Xin, took on a disciple, they would not have the right to become a majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng.
Naturally, the ninth majesty would only appear when the Anatta Grand Prime accepted a new disciple.
