Old King Xu, a phantom with tenfold strength, extremely close to a half-step True God, was absorbed by the Wheel of Life and Death. But he did not die immediately; he just watched as his body disintegrated inch by inch.
Ah! Ah! Ah!
How tragic!
His screams were utterly chilling.
"Old King Xu, even he is not his opponent and will be killed. Xuwang City has truly offended someone it shouldn't have provoked. Their destruction seems imminent!"
It's not that Old King Xu was too weak.
But that this Martial Emperor was too powerful.
They all felt a sense of sorrow for Xuwang City.
You could have messed with anyone, yet you chose to provoke this invincible being, bringing about this catastrophe upon yourself.
"Even if I die, I won't beg you for mercy. You've been causing a massacre in the Central Mysterious Region. Although I, Xuwang City, am not capable of opposing you, there are those who won't let you off. You are overtly provocative and tyrannically overbearing, challenging the dignity of the Imperial Dynasty. Ha ha ha ha! Your end will be worse than mine!"
Old King Xu, seeing his body disintegrating from his feet inch by inch, didn't beg for mercy. Instead, he let out a horrifying scream.
"Your courage is commendable. I salute your bravery, but you are still going to die."
Old King Xu sure has guts. He didn't beg for mercy from Chu Yuan, but he is still to be killed, not spare because he was brave.
"Father!"
The current king's eyes almost popped out in sheer fury.
He never expected that due to his misjudgement and greed for the Sky Warship, Xuwang City, a city that had stood tall for ten thousand years, would now be heading towards destruction.

He is the sinner.
Suddenly, he launched a fierce attack on the Wheel of Life and Death.
However, once his power touched the Wheel of Life and Death, the power of the Life and Death Law came violently rushing towards him.
"My son, don't think about avenging me, just run. Run as far away as you can. With his domineering attitude, there will naturally be others who will deal with him!"
Suddenly, Old King Xu's body burst into flames. He was not trying to save himself, but to use his last energy to attempt to hinder Chu Yuan, even if just for an instance.
"The Wheel of Life and Death, is in my control."
Despite Old King Xu's fierce struggle, Chu Yuan's power was just too great.
With a wave of his hand, the Wheel of Life and Death quickly spun. Immediately, Old King Xu's body disintegrated completely as he watched. A massive tidal wave of the power of law gushed into Chu Yuan's body.
Old King Xu was gone, and everyone knew he was dead.
Chu Yuan used the power of the Senses God Ninth Level and directly imposed the Eternal Seal on King Xu.
Once the Eternal Seal was applied, countless chains appeared on King Xu's body. Then he wholly submersed, losing control of his own body.
"Kneel."
Chu Yuan raised King Xu and dropped him onto the deck, making him kneel next to Sect Master Zi Ji.
The two locked eyes, both seemingly picking up on the intense fear harboured by their souls.
They knew that they appear to be alive, but their fates are sealed. They are doomed to kneel until they die natural deaths.
Natural death is everyone's goal, isn't it?
But they did not want this natural death.
"Xuwang City is done for, completely done for."
"King Xu and Sect Master Zi Ji will never stand again."
"One mistake can lead you to make a series of mistakes. Some people can be offended, while others cannot be."
"Such a pitiful sight, Xuwang City enjoyed such prestige and glory, yet it ended with such a fate."
"From now on, whenever we see people from Dawu, we will just let them be. Never offend them!"
...
Witnessing the destruction of Xuwang City and King Xu being sealed forever, those who followed along were terrified to their core.
Some were even relieved that they had gracefully refused the offer from Xuwang City to join hands against Dawu. Otherwise, they would have been among the annihilated clans.
Better to offend the King of Hell than to mess with Dawu.
Invading Xuwang City across regions and wiping out Xuwang City, these actions were more than just making an example of the enemies.
Now, even if Chu Yuan commanded them to submit, countless clans would choose to pledge allegiance to him.
"Ding! It's detected that the prestige of your nation is currently sufficient for promotion to a six-star imperial dynasty. Would you like to choose to promote to a six-star imperial dynasty?"
[Choice One: Promote to a six-star imperial dynasty, earn one thousand destiny points.]
[Choice Two: Do not promote to a six-star imperial dynasty yet, earn one thousand destiny points.]
As expected, after Chu Yuan annihilated the Eastern Region Islands, surrendered the Sea Dragon Palace, and obliterated the Zi Ji Sect, the promotion choice did not pop up.
Only after annihilating Xuwang City, when Dawu was at its peak, did this long-awaited option appear.
"Promote to a six-star imperial dynasty."
What Chu Yuan had been waiting for was the promotion to a six-star imperial dynasty!
