Chapter 2163: Chapter 1037: Reunion with Suo Ningbing! The Tragedy of Shi Tian

"Boom!"

Lanling fiercely stepped on the head of the Sub-emperor, the enormous energy body of thirty thousand meters was directly bent down.

The Sub-emperor (Dragon Emperor Puppet) desperately retaliated!

But unfortunately, it had been too impressively overwhelming just now, enjoying the fight too much, repeatedly blowing up Lanling’s Dragon Emperor avatar, finally crushing it with a single fingertip.

It was spectacular and exhilarating!

But there’s a saying, "Two hours of charging, five minutes of showing off."

This Sub-emperor, Your Majesty, pursued visual effects too excessively. Clearly, it could use a more straightforward method to crush Lanling’s Dragon Emperor avatar, but instead, for the sake of dramatic effects, it insisted on using a single finger to obliterate Lanling’s Dragon Emperor avatar. As a result, it drained all the bloodline energy from nine hundred Tomb Priests and hundreds of thousands of Sanctuary Legion, creating a thirty thousand meter energy body.

So now, there was no energy left to consume.

Admittedly, this Sub-emperor was quite formidable, possessing the complete energy heart of the Dragon Emperor and holding a Sub-emperor level cultivation. In terms of cultivation alone, it was truly on par with Demon Emperor Lanling. Moreover, after receiving the mental control and technique transmission from the Lunar Holy Palace, it could absorb the strength of nine hundred Tomb Priests and hundreds of thousands of Sanctuary Legion. In fact, this Sub-emperor’s combat power even surpassed that of Demon Emperor Lanling.

But unfortunately...

Perhaps this Sub-emperor was too complacent, or perhaps Demon Emperor Lanling was too cunning.

Lanling’s Dragon Emperor avatar entered the Cosmic Tower, shut down the Energy Tower, cutting the energy connection between the Lunar Holy Palace and the Sky Holy Palace.

As is well known, the Dragon Emperor Puppet’s project was initiated in haste. It needed countless energy arrays as body meridian nodes, but these energy arrays and the Dragon Emperor energy heart were not fully matched. Therefore, the energy was difficult to control, resulting in violent energy outbursts.

Previously, with the technique of the Lunar Holy Palace, the mental control from the Lunar Holy Palace could stabilize it.

But now, Lanling severed the energy link between the Sky Holy Palace and the Lunar Holy Palace, also cutting off the mental link between the Sub-emperor and the Lunar Holy Palace.

Thus, the Dragon Emperor Puppet again entered chaos, countless energy nodes erupted chaotically once more.

The Sub-emperor fell into a complete passive state, wanting to fight with Demon Emperor Lanling, but could not control the self-detonation of its body meridian nodes at all.

Thus, it was firmly stomped under Demon Emperor Lanling’s foot, unable to rise.

...

"Bang!"

Demon Emperor Lanling punched down hard.

Immediately, the Sub-emperor was bent down again, then it struggled to rise desperately.

"Bang!"

Lanling threw another fierce punch.

Just like this, over and over again.

Countless times, the Sub-emperor tried to struggle to stand up, tried to escape from under Demon Emperor Lanling’s foot, but was repeatedly punched back down to the ground, continuing to be stepped on.

In the end, more and more spots on the Sub-emperor’s body began to self-destruct, countless energies gushing out.

While the despicable and shameless Lanling devoured all these gushing energies, then concentrated them on his fist and struck down hard.

Ultimately, the Sub-emperor (Dragon Emperor Puppet) was completely pummeled into immobility on the ground.

"Boom boom boom boom..." All over its body, like volcanic eruptions, energy was incessantly bursting out.

The Sub-emperor roared in a low voice: "Lanling, you’re not actually stronger than me. If I hadn’t been self-destructing continuously, unable to control my energy, I could have fought you for three hundred rounds, who knows who would win."

"Come on, is there any point in saying that?" Lanling, stepping on the Sub-emperor’s head, said: "At this point, is there any point in discussing this? In this world, you have to be prepared to win or lose. You may call me despicable and shameless, but that’s still a part of my strength. Haven’t you heard about my cunning and shamelessness before?"

Lanling slapped the energy face of the Sub-emperor: "What is your status in the Lunar Holy Palace? What’s your name? I have something to say to you, young man, you’re too naive, you’re just too naive."

The Sub-emperor wasn’t angry, but quietly looked at Lanling and said: "Don’t feel too smug, I’m just casting my mind onto this body across hundreds of thousands of miles, this isn’t a battle between you and me. Rest assured, you and I will soon meet in person, then we will truly get up close and personal, and at that time I’ll let you experience what nearly divine really means."

"What’s your name?" Lanling asked.

"I’ll come in three months; in your world, that’s October, just call me October," the Sub-emperor said.

"Boom boom boom..."

The Dragon Emperor Puppet continued to erupt like countless volcanic explosions, becoming increasingly violent.

Finally, it completely lost control and erupted violently.

"Remember, before you and I meet, do not kill everyone in the Sky Holy Palace, remember, remember!"

"Also, this Dragon Emperor heart is Emperor level energy, but unfortunately, we’ve already inscribed a special mark on it, you won’t be able to gain this power."

"Phew..." It was as if a spirit completely vanished from the Dragon Emperor Puppet, the mental control from the Lunar Holy Palace’s October completely disappeared from the Dragon Emperor Puppet.

And the energy body of the Dragon Emperor Puppet collapsed entirely, like countless exploding volcanoes.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

The entire Dragon Emperor Puppet exploded like numerous nuclear bombs, increasingly ferociously, almost destroying the entire Sky Holy Palace entirely.

If Lanling didn’t act to save it, the energy heart of the Dragon Emperor would completely explode. By then not only would the entire Dragon Emperor Puppet body turn to ashes, but the entire Sky Holy Palace would crumble to pieces.

"Open!" Lanling suddenly tore open the chest of the Dragon Emperor Puppet, then reached inside and dug out the energy heart with his bare hand.

The immense Dragon Emperor heart, like a brilliant sun, rested in Lanling’s palm.

The terrifying explosion stopped, and the energy eruption that almost destroyed the Sky Holy Palace ceased as well.

The Dragon Emperor’s energy heart throbbed incessantly in Lanling’s hand, containing an astounding power, true Emperor-level power. As it touched his palm, it truly shone like a sun, radiating with magnificent brilliance.

This Emperor-level power originally belonged to Lanling, but now the entire surface of the energy heart was spiraling with a dark energy inscription.

Lanling attempted to possess and devour this Emperor-level energy.

However, it was completely impossible!

The Lunar Holy Palace directly altered the energy permissions within this energy heart, rendering even Lanling, the true Dragon Emperor, unable to possess it.

This was contrary to prior norms, where previously obtaining the Divine Dragon Nihility Bloodline of the Dragon Emperor allowed one to inherit the Emperor-level dragon power.

But now, the Lunar Holy Palace broke this rule and thwarted Lanling’s possession of Emperor-level energy!

...

After Lanling extracted the energy heart, the body of the Dragon Emperor Puppet grew increasingly smaller.

And Lanling’s body also gradually shrank, the Dragon Emperor energy heart in his hand becoming smaller and beginning to crystalize.

Eventually, it completely transformed into a clump of black crystal stone, the surface still bearing dark energy inscriptions, sealing the entire Dragon Emperor heart, leaving no sensation of any energy within.

Lanling placed the Dragon Emperor energy heart into a crystal stone box.

At this moment, the ground-sized Dragon Emperor Puppet had gradually condensed to the size of a normal human, its entire body wrapped in golden crystal stone armor.

Judging by the silhouette, the body of the Dragon Emperor Puppet was that of a woman.

Lanling stepped forward, inch by inch peeling away the crystal stone armor from her face, revealing a familiar and beautiful face.

Suo Ningbing!

Once one of Suo Lun’s most beloved women, and the ultimate motivation of his struggle in this world.

This result was both shocking and unsurprising.

The Dragon Temple indeed used Suo Ningbing’s body as the Dragon Emperor Puppet because she was the new generation imposter, because her bloodline and body genes, both partly came from the Dragon Emperor.

At this moment, sister Suo Ningbing was unconscious.

She wasn’t dead, yet could sense no mental or spiritual vitality, but her body was still alive.

Lanling, as the Chaos Emperor, could resurrect someone who had not been dead for long, let alone the fact that Suo Ningbing wasn’t dead.

However...

Lanling attempted again and again, but was always unable to resurrect Suo Ningbing.

Because her head was empty, without spirit, without a soul.

The entire soul was nowhere, leaving only an empty shell. Lanling, as Chaos Emperor, could retrieve it even if the soul had gone to the Netherworld.

Yet now, Suo Ningbing’s soul was nowhere to be found in the entire world.

So, no matter how many attempts were made, Lanling was unable to awaken Suo Ningbing.

"Where is Suo Ningbing’s soul?" Lanling asked Shi Tian.

"Not in this world," Shi Tian said, "Only the three of us know this secret. If Your Majesty wants to know, please be kind to the people of the Sky Holy Palace."

Shi Tian, the first leader of the Sky Holy Palace, stood there, quietly watching Lanling.

"You want to make a deal with me?" Lanling said, "If I didn’t hear you wrong, you want to make a deal with me?"

"Yes." said the first leader of the Sky Holy Palace, "Suo Ningbing’s body was used as the Dragon Emperor Puppet by us, her soul was emptied out and exiled to a place only we know. If you wish to obtain her soul and resurrect her, you must be kind to us."

"Now, not only do you want to make a deal, but you’re also threatening me," Lanling laughed.

"Yes!" said Shi Tian, "Your Majesty is forceful and intolerant of sand in the eyes, driving us to a corner. Even if we wanted to bend and submit, there’s no chance left, so we had no choice but to do this."

"Shi Tian, the first leader of the Sky Holy Palace?" Lanling smiled, then burst into laughter.

Then, his expression abruptly changed.

Shouting sharply, "Strip Shi Tian naked, shackle him, parade him around the Sky Holy Palace three times. Then lock him in the cesspool and expose him to the sun for three days. Finally drown him alive in the cesspool. I want the people of the Sky Holy Palace to see clearly, this is the demeanor of their first leader!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire scene changed completely!

...

It’s increasingly difficult to write now, so the update is relatively late, truly sorry for that.
