Chen Xuan reaches the Emperor Realm, surpassing his previous mid-stage strength. Meanwhile, Qin Yu returns to the Imperial City, filled with regret. Duke Qin receives news of Qin Yu's return and his intention to harvest the life essence of the Eastern Continent's martial artists to regain past glory, a decision that deeply troubles the Duke.

The next day.

Duke Qin once again sneaked back into the mansion with the vegetable delivery.

Inside the room.

The avatar merged within.

Looking outside, Duke Qin found it difficult to make a decision for a long time.

"Do I really have to do this?"

His heart was filled with anguish. As a minister and part of the Imperial Family, he should have heeded Qin Yu’s orders.

However, even when Great Yu overthrew the previous dynasty and became the ruler of the Eastern Continent, Emperor Qin did not indulge in senseless killing.

Even the previous dynasty’s Imperial Family was not exterminated completely.

Otherwise, someone like Li Mu wouldn’t have survived.

But now, what Qin Yu was asking him to do was... destroy the entire Eastern Continent.

More than ninety percent of the Martial Artists were previously influenced by Great Yu’s National Spirit.

Activating all of them would be akin to killing these people.

"What should I do?"

...

In the inn.

"Will he obediently follow orders?"

The man from the Upper Domain looked at Qin Yu and asked, sensing that Duke Qin seemed reluctant.

"It’s just the first step."

Qin Yu spoke indifferently, knowing he wouldn’t rely on just this one backup plan.

None knew about those people he had secretly trained back then.

Even though the top experts had perished.

But the others had long been integrated into the hundreds of households, disguising as ordinary people.

"There’s more?"

"Just you wait!"

Qin Yu said coldly, then left the room.

"Hmph!"

In the empty room, the man from the Upper Domain snorted coldly, his eyes gleaming with chilling light.

Previously, he needed Qin Yu.

Out of fear of the Heavenly Dao, he couldn’t act with full force. To refine the entire Supreme Domain, he required Qin Yu.

But now... possessing the Northern Emperor unexpectedly, he no longer needed him.

As long as he fully recovered to Late-Stage Emperor Realm strength, he would have no restraints in this Supreme Domain.

"Even breaking through to the Emperor Realm..."

The man from the Upper Domain murmured, his voice slightly trembling. When the time came to return to the Upper Domain, those people from back then would all be slain!

Even the old monsters of the sects would have to bow their heads.

...

Qin Yu transformed into an ordinary Martial Artist, traveling throughout the Imperial City, sensing whether the imprints in those people’s consciousness seas had been activated.

But the result disappointed him.

No!

Duke Qin hadn’t done it!

"It seems I’ll have to take action myself."

Then, stepping forward, his Spiritual Power spread out, and those previously influenced by Great Yu’s National Spirit were immediately startled, but the next moment they fell into confusion again.

Quickly after, they returned to normal.

But for safety’s sake, Qin Yu first activated a small portion, approximately one percent of the Imperial City’s area.

After all, this was the Imperial City, where Great Chen’s National Spirit was extremely sensitive.

If Duke Qin had been willing to do it, he wouldn’t have risked acting himself.

Meanwhile, across Great Chen’s hundreds of households, those he had arranged beforehand had already begun their actions as early as yesterday.

...

In Duke Qin’s Mansion.

Deep in conflict, Duke Qin suddenly stood up. He sensed that those imprints had been activated.

"Your Majesty!"

He hadn’t expected Qin Yu to be so impatient, taking action himself, but this would easily be discovered, by then....

"Your Majesty, you’re forcing your old minister’s hand!"

Duke Qin was helpless.

He didn’t want to do it, but Qin Yu must not be discovered. If he died, Great Yu would truly be finished!

...

Days passed by.

Forced by circumstances, Duke Qin took action. Within half a month, nearly all the imprints in the Imperial City had been activated.

Next comes the wait.

The imprints would slowly absorb the blood essence of these people, waiting for the final harvest.

Inside the Imperial Palace.

In the grand hall where Great Chen’s National Spirit resided.

Suddenly!

The qilin became somewhat agitated. After sensing it, Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

Raising his eyes to look, his brows furrowed tightly, "What’s going on?"

"Yunze!"

While handling government affairs, Chen Yunze suddenly heard Chen Xuan’s voice in his ear.

"Come to me!"

Not daring to delay, he immediately set aside the memorial in his hand and headed to the grand hall where the National Spirit resided.

Only Chen Xuan knew of his Dao Avatar in the Imperial Palace.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Rise!"

Then he entered the grand hall, "Father!"

Although it felt awkward, as it wasn’t the real Chen Xuan, it had been said, there was no difference between the Dao Avatar and him.

"Communicate and see what’s happening? The qilin seems to be agitated!"

"What?"

Chen Yunze was shocked. The qilin was an auspicious beast; it couldn’t just suddenly become agitated.

So he immediately communicated.

Moments later!

"It feels uneasy!"

"But it’s unclear about the specifics!"

Chen Yunze said, his face solemn.

"Uneasy?"

Chen Xuan’s brows locked in a frown, his gaze fixated on the qilin above. If it felt uneasy, it meant something was happening in the Eastern Continent, and it was something monumental!

"Could it be...."

In an instant!

Chen Xuan disappeared from the grand hall and reappeared in mid-air over the Imperial City.

A surge of blue erupted in his eyes.

He carefully scanned the entire Imperial City.

Figures flashed past his eyes.

"Hmm?"

"Something’s wrong!"

In the next moment, he directly vanished and appeared before Shen Chong.

Shen Chong was immediately alarmed.

But then quickly knelt on one knee, "Greetings, Holy Emperor!"

After Chen Yunze ascended the throne, he conferred Chen Xuan as the Holy Emperor.

"Rise!"

Chen Xuan spoke softly.

"Thank you, Holy Emperor!"

After rising, Shen Chong felt a bit apprehensive, for he was facing the foremost expert of the Eastern Continent.

Simultaneously, he felt fortunate for having resolved his conflict with Chen Xuan back then.

For now, despite Great Yu’s demise, he remained unaffected, continuing to lead the Imperial Army.

"Have you sensed anything amiss?"

Chen Xuan’s question left Shen Chong a bit puzzled.

"No!"

He carefully sensed around and found no anomalies.

"Something’s not right!"

Chen Xuan shook his head, "You were previously at the Peak of Seventh Layer of Dao Realm, just a step away from the eighth layer, but now you seem to have weakened a bit!"
