Being an era emperor, Leafmoon had never been disrespected. He was always basking in awe and reverence of the masses. He didn't expect that he would meet someone as rude as Jin Rou here.
But the other party had hit a sore spot. They were really just pretending to be heroes protecting the plateau when in fact they were reaping the benefits themselves. They wanted to monopolize everything there that they decided to guard it and forbid others from entering. They weren't heroes or something who voluntarily protected the Hundred Dragons Plateau, they were just a bunch of robbers.
"Leafmoon, if you want to live, you better not block my way." Jin Rou issued his final warning, "I really don't have time to play with you. If you still want to live longer, stop blocking my way."
"This is trespassing!" Leafmoon Era Emperor didn't back down despite the threats. He was an era emperor, after all. How could he shame himself?
But he soon realized that his choice was foolish as Jin Rou lifted him up by the neck and tightened his grip, "Then die so much."
Leafmoon Era Emperor didn't react fast enough, and was struggling for his life. Jin Rou's grip was getting tighter and it's making him lose breath. He signaled the other two ancestors who were surprised silly to help him. If he died here, all of them would die for sure.
The two ancestors were about to move when Jin Rou looked at them again with those eyes that could destroy realms. They shuddered and almost peed their pants. In the end, they couldn't do a thing to save Leafmoon.
"Shhh!" Then, Jin Rou's palm, which was gripping the era emperor, released a thorn and it directly pierced through the neck of Leafmoon.
"Urgh!" Leafmoon felt pain and he instantly lost the ability to breath. As he tried to heal the deep wound, Jin Rou kicked him brutally.
"You're a shame to the emperors, Leafmoon. Stooping this low for temporary benefits. It's funny that it's already a joke." Jin Rou was smiling as he tortured the emperor without hesitation.
Soon, cries of pleas came from the emperor as he experienced hell for the first time in his life. Never did he expect that he would experience such thing while still living.
"Please, stop..." Leafmoon was no longer the arrogant emperor a while ago, he was now crying with snot on his face. He was pleading for his life for the hundredth time, "If you want to enter, please enter. No one will stop you."
"No one can stop me." Jin Rou kicked the emperor again, "You better behave here with your dogs. Don't ever think of running away."
Jin Rou stopped hitting the emperor and proceeded to enter the plateau. Princess Fiarra and Andreo were shocked but still followed suit.
"Young Noble's power can decimate the entire Mortalis." Andreo didn't forget to praise Jin Rou, expecting some benefits to come, "Even Leafmoon Era Emperor has no match against you and begged for his life."
Leafmoon was an emperor, but not a strong one. If there was a ranking, he could be at the bottom rankings. But it's different with the other emperor who was his accomplice.
"He is an emperor, but he's destined to remain on that level in his realm." Jin Rou said, "I removed his right to add more Words to his cultivation."
"You can do that, Young Noble?" Andreo was surprised. Fiarra covered her mouth in response.
It was a cruel and merciless move from Jin Rou. Suspending an emperor's right to further advance was akin to death penalty while still alive.
Why do era emperors wanted to get stronger? Because they want to pursue the endless dao, and prove themselves. And how can they do it? By proving their Words. It's already a difficult matter to prove their Words as it would take so much time and resources to prove it. And Leafmoon had no chance to do it for the rest of his life.
For emperors, it was a punishment crueler than dying. A punishment that judged their path already, and took away their reason in pursuing the dao.
"That is a just price of offending me and monopolizing this land at the same time." Jin Rou glanced at the floating plateau, they were already near there.
Soon, they finally reached the entry point of the land. It was filled with big trees and habitable lands. Of all in Dragon Sky, it was the only place with a land like this.
"It was no wonder that they are monopolizing this land." Fiarra spoke. She observed the flowers here and touched it, making them instantly bloom.
"Even I will be greedy in taking this land for myself." Andreo said as he gulped, "So this is the plateau where Hundred Dragons had stayed."
"You know something about that?" Jin Rou paused, interested in what he heard.
"Yes, Young Noble. My ancestor is a fanatic of the legendary dragons in the history, and collected many rumors and information regarding them." Andreo smiled wryly and explained.
Hundred Dragons was believed to be the founder or the co-founder of the entire dragon race. However, no one proved it. Not even the dragon emperors of the past. And although this position was debatable until now, everyone was sure that Hundred Dragons was a very strong existence that could make the dragon emperors run for their money.
Jin Rou chuckled after hearing it. The version had been modified many times now that it didn't make sense at all, "Hundred Dragons is a co-founder of the dragon race? This topic has aged now so I guess it's good to fill in the two of you."
The two were so excited upon hearing this. The Young Noble would give them a piece of information with absolute certainty! Just how precious was that to obtain information from the Young Noble?
"Hundred Dragons is really one of the first dragons of Mortalis. However, it was not a co-founder." Jin Rou said. It was all a piece of information which Han Li gained during his life, "To summarize his life, Hundred Dragons is the evil of the dragon race."
