Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy

Within the sword sheath, the "World’s Number One Defensive Move" activated, and a tremendous suction force arose. Although the fleeing Fusang journalists ran swiftly, they were instantly pulled back by the suction at the sheath’s mouth. Its opening seemed to be a black hole, capable of absorbing everything.

The Fusang journalists let out desperate cries of terror. "No! Stop it! Damn it, I was wrong!" They were terrified and didn’t want to die. But in the next moment, their souls were converted into Spiritual Energy and absorbed by the sheath. Their soulless bodies disintegrated into ash, leaving no trace.

"Terrifying!" a few journalists from the United States of America whispered among themselves. "If this sheath could take human form, it would surely be hideous! To kill so wantonly means it has an ugly soul, and an ugly soul means an ugly appearance."

It was hard to imagine that a sheath with a loli’s voice, which one would assume to be cute and unwilling to harm a fly, could be so decisive in its slaughter.

However, how could they possibly understand the sheath’s experiences? In the Immortal Emperor Realm, if you don’t kill, you will be killed! It’s called the Immortal Emperor Realm, not the Immortal Realm, because if you don’t become an Immortal Emperor, you will be cursed and face tribulations upon reaching a certain age. If you do not become an Immortal Emperor, you are nothing but trash, to be played with by the Heavenly Dao at its whim. Only by becoming an Immortal Emperor do you earn a slim chance to contend with the Heavenly Dao! If you don’t kill, you will be killed!

Qiao’er had also noticed the journalists from the United States of America, and their words enraged her. She had always wanted to take human form, but her cultivation was insufficient. Her power came from the "World’s Number One Defensive Move" that Wu Tian had sealed within her. She, too, wished to become human. What girl doesn’t want to be beautiful? And yet, these people from the United States of America called her soul ugly!

Who truly has the ugly soul?

"You people, don’t think I can’t understand you!" Qiao’er said in perfect American English.

"What?" The journalists from the United States of America were thrown into a panic. From the mouth of the sheath, the "World’s Number One Defensive Move" activated. "No!"

The journalists were overcome with regret. They hated themselves. Why did they have to speak ill of the sheath behind its back? Why couldn’t they just keep their mouths shut? But it was too late. Their souls were all absorbed by the sheath, and they vanished into nothingness.

"You... you..." Master Kuroda knew of the sheath’s miraculous powers. When he first obtained it, he immediately felt that the Underground World would one day revere him. But the thought of the sheath turning against him chilled him to the bone. Watching one journalist after another die at the sheath’s hand, Master Kuroda turned deathly pale, his voice trembling. "We... we’re friends, aren’t we?"

Qiao’er sighed. "Friends? Honestly, I knew from the start you never considered me a true friend, only a tool. But you did take care of me for a while, so I’ll give you three seconds. End your own life now."

"What?" Master Kuroda thought she was joking, but he quickly realized she was serious. Was she truly demanding he commit suicide?

"No, you can’t do this," Master Kuroda cried out frantically. "I was serious about you!"

"Three seconds have passed, and you still haven’t done it?" Qiao’er sighed, her tone flat. "You can harm me, but you cannot harm my Big Brother! Since you harbored killing intent toward my Big Brother, your only path is death!"

Qiao’er’s loli voice suddenly became ice-cold and merciless. Hearing this, Master Kuroda trembled all over, never having expected the sheath to care so deeply for Wu Tian.

The next moment, the sheath’s "World’s Number One Defensive Move" activated.

"No!"

Master Kuroda’s soul was ripped out, transformed into Spiritual Energy, and absorbed by the sheath. His body slowly slumped, crashing onto the ground and turning to dust. The expert from the Underground World, whom the Chief Minister had summoned with great difficulty, was gone just like that. Master Kuroda had barely shown a glimpse of his power before he died.

At that moment, troops from the Fusang army arrived. They were here to protect their Chief Minister.

"Are these people your enemies, Big Brother?" Qiao’er asked.

Wu Tian nodded.

"Your enemies are my enemies," Qiao’er said coldly. The "World’s Number One Defensive Move" activated. This technique was a gift from Wu Tian; she would only ever use it for him. The activation of the "World’s Number One Defensive Move" had already sealed the fate of the Fusang troops.

"AH!"

The soldiers had no time to comprehend what was happening before their souls were torn out and sucked into the mouth of the sheath. Their physical bodies remained standing for a moment before a gust of wind blew them away as dust.

In the Immortal Emperor Realm, the "World’s Number One Defensive Move" was a martial art that everyone yearned to learn. It was one of the few supreme techniques automatically generated by Heaven and Earth themselves! It was invincible, capable of sweeping across the world! Before it, the Fusang army was utterly helpless.

Wu Tian’s gaze shifted, landing directly on the Chief Minister.

Feeling Wu Tian’s eyes upon him, the Chief Minister was petrified. He could never have imagined things would end up like this. He had kidnapped Wu Tian’s daughter, never expecting Wu Tian would actually come to Fusang alone. He expected even less that one man could reduce Fusang to ruins.

Wu Tian walked forward step by step, like an Emperor, like a god of conquest. Each footfall carried an immense, crushing pressure. The Chief Minister was drenched in a cold sweat, paralyzed by fear.

When Wu Tian finally stood before Chief Minister Abe Saburo, the man’s strength gave out. He collapsed, his body slumping to the ground as if kneeling before Wu Tian.

"I... I can admit my mistake to you. On behalf of Fusang, I can admit our mistakes to the Dragon Country... That should be enough, right?"

The Chief Minister was terrified. Never in his life had he felt such all-consuming dread and panic. He could not comprehend how a single man could defeat an entire nation. He surrendered. Fusang was willing to announce to all nations that it had made mistakes in the past and had lost.

But Wu Tian was unmoved.

"You think that’s enough?" Wu Tian’s gaze boiled with killing intent. "Back then, Fusang slaughtered the men of my Dragon Country and brutalized its women. You think a simple apology can suffice?" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Is it still not enough?" the Chief Minister asked, bewildered. He gritted his teeth. "Fusang is one of the world’s eighteen recognized developed nations! For us to swallow our pride, admit defeat, and confess our errors is already a tremendous humiliation. Isn’t that enough to atone for it?"

Wu Tian’s eyes blazed with fury.

If I were to slaughter your entire family and then offer you an apology, would that be acceptable?

In the Chief Minister’s view, human lives were less important than national dignity. He believed that sacrificing his country’s pride could offset the lives of those Fusang had killed and the suffering of those it had brutalized.

But to Wu Tian, it was not enough. Not nearly enough.

"I want you dead, and I want the nation of Fusang to fall today. Only then can these debts be settled once and for all!" Wu Tian declared.

At this very moment, across the globe, the nations of Earth were in shock.
