Chapter 4: I told you not to talk, but you still did. Do you think my words are just passing by?
After annihilating the ancestral court envoy, Meng Chen looked at the remaining human powerhouses, his blazing gaze first landing on the current leader of the Sun God Sect.
The leader of the Sun God Cult trembled, feeling an immense pressure, as if an ancient divine mountain was collapsing down upon him. Unable to withstand it, he exploded on the spot, turning into a cloud of blood mist, leaving no trace of his body or soul.

Killing his own clansmen was bad enough, but he didn't even spare the disciples of his sect. This Emperor Chentian has truly gone mad!
"His heart is not pure; it seems this sect cannot be allowed to remain."
Meng Chen said indifferently. He cultivated the Great Dao of the Sun, which was supremely holy, yang, and high; any evil spirits or malevolent thoughts that entered his sight would be instantly killed.
If one's conscience is clear, one's gaze will naturally be harmless. But if one harbors evil thoughts, touching them will surely lead to death.
The group of human powerhouses were terrified and knelt on the ground, trembling like quails, not daring to raise their heads, for fear of following in the footsteps of the Sun Lord.
A towering golden tree grew from behind Meng Chen, surrounded by the sun, moon, and stars, burning with raging divine fire, and with myriad laws flowing around it, bursting out with intense golden light, like the blazing sun illuminating all the heavens and myriad realms.
With the Sun Tree temporarily assuming the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, Meng Chen sat atop its canopy, looking down upon all living beings. He surveyed the powerful human figures and spoke softly:
"Am I that scary that you're all so afraid of me?"
Upon hearing this, the group of powerful human warriors dared not utter a word. They knew the Great Emperor certainly possessed such a divine ability as telepathy, and dared not even murmur to themselves.
After a long silence, an old quasi-emperor from the Taiqing Holy Land could no longer contain himself.
The ancestral court's envoy was killed right before their eyes; the ancestral court will surely blame them, and they must be absolved of the responsibility.
Immediately, the old Emperor Taiqing raised his head and finally spoke.
"Emperor Chentian, I have something to say, but I don't know when to say it."
Meng Chen: "If you're unsure whether you should say this or not, then don't."
The old quasi-emperor of Taiqing's face stiffened. He had only wanted to be polite, but why was this Emperor Chentian not playing by the rules?
However, the old quasi-emperor of Taiqing was an ancient being who had lived for tens of thousands of years, his skin thicker than the walls of the imperial city, and he continued:
"Emperor Chentian, you have committed a grave error by killing the ancestral court's envoy without authorization..."
However, before the old quasi-emperor Taiqing could finish speaking, Meng Chen pointed out with a finger, and a dazzling golden light shot out from the fingertip, instantly piercing through his immortal platform and shattering and annihilating his soul.
The old quasi-emperor of Taiqing instantly turned to immortality. Meng Chen lowered his fingers, a hint of displeasure on his face: "I told you not to speak, but you still did. Do you think my words are just passing by?"
The Holy Mother Xuanhua of the Yin-Yang Sacred Land was heartbroken to see her old lover gone, and glared angrily at Meng Chen.
"Fellow Daoist Meng, Xuanqing only said a few words, yet you killed him. You are unworthy of being a Great Emperor and do not deserve to attain the Dao!"
Meng Chen's eyes turned cold.
Fellow?
Before I attained enlightenment, I didn't mind if you called me a fellow Daoist.
Now that I have attained the Dao and become an Emperor, you still call me a fellow Daoist. Hasn't my becoming an Emperor been for nothing?
Snapped! !
Meng Chen raised his hand and slapped Xuan Shengmu's delicate face from a distance, but he did not use any divine power; it was just an ordinary slap.
It doesn't cause much harm, but it's extremely insulting.
The perfect face of the Holy Mother Xuanhua, which was admired by countless beings in the universe and was even more beautiful than a celestial being, was slapped crooked on the spot.
A bright red handprint was deeply imprinted on her face, her cheeks were swollen and burning with pain, completely stunning the Holy Mother Xuanzhu.
The Holy Mother Xuanzu covered her flushed face and stared incredulously at Meng Chen on the Sun God Tree.
He actually dared to hit her! He actually dared to hit a woman!
Meng Chen doesn't care if you're male or female. Even if you're both male and female, he'll still beat you.
"How dare you address me as 'fellow Daoist'?" Meng Chen coldly questioned the Holy Mother Xuanhua.
The Holy Mother Xuanhua felt her soul turn cold, and her anger was instantly extinguished. Only then did she realize that Meng Chen was no longer the boy who sought the Dao in the Yin-Yang Holy Land.
Rather, he is the supreme emperor who controls the Heavenly Seal and commands absolute power throughout the universe.
"Your Majesty, Heavenly Emperor, please calm your anger..."
The Holy Mother Xuanhua quickly lowered her head and changed her words in a trembling voice.
Meng Chen slapped Xuan Shengmu on the other cheek from a distance, making sure it was symmetrical.
"You're speaking so softly, haven't you eaten?"
The Holy Mother Xuanhua had never suffered such humiliation. Even when she injured a single hair, people would fuss over her. Now, she had been slapped twice in a row. This was too insulting!
She suddenly looked up, no longer caring about whether he was an emperor or not, her eyes filled with resentment, and she roared at Meng Chen with her face swollen like a tomato.
"Meng Chen, I respect you as the Great Emperor, but don't push your luck!"
"Today you killed the ancestral court's envoy, slaughtered the Meng family and the Sun Sect Master without cause, and even persecuted Fellow Daoist Xuanqing. Not only have you offended so many forces, but you've also humiliated me to this extent. Do you know that you're facing imminent disaster?"
"Let me tell you, Meng Chen, if you have the guts, kill me now. Otherwise, once I leave, my Yin-Yang Holy Land will not let you go!"
The Holy Mother Xuanhua's outrageous statement immediately made Meng Chen laugh.
The female-oriented genre is truly unbeatable.
First, they made the Emperor accept the imperial decree and apologize. Now, the Emperor is facing imminent disaster, and the Holy Land will not let him off the hook.
Meng Chen was too lazy to even be angry anymore.
"Since you insist on courting death, I will grant your wish and send you down to join that old man."
"Wh-what?" Upon hearing this, the Holy Mother Xuanhua was immediately dumbfounded.
The next moment, imperial might spread, a single strand of it could cover the nine heavens, and crushed down upon the Holy Mother Xuanchao.
The emperor's might was like a prison. The Holy Mother Xuanhua was terrified. Her features were distorted with extreme fear. She had only uttered a few harsh words, but Meng Chen actually wanted to kill her!
"No! Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, please don't kill me! I was just saying it casually! Please! I am the Xuanhua Yin Body, I am willing to be your furnace, please spare me this time..."
The Holy Mother Xuanhua pleaded desperately, offering herself as a vessel to beg Meng Chen to forgive her.
Upon hearing this, a look of disgust flashed across Meng Chen's eyes. His imperial might suddenly intensified, and he crushed the Holy Mother Xuanhua into a pulp on the spot, even turning her soul into dust.
Seeing that even a peerless beauty like the Heavenly Emperor Xuanxuan had been killed, the other human powerhouses panicked even more.
Then, Meng Chen looked at the group of humans and continued, "Is there anyone else who wants to speak up for that old bastard Xuan Qing?"
The human warriors all shook their heads.
"The Emperor is kind and benevolent; they were ungrateful and deserved to be killed!"
"Yes, yes, it's all their fault. Even if the Emperor doesn't intervene, we will punish them for you."
"They brought this upon themselves. It is their honor that the Emperor personally intervened to suppress them!"
Hearing the fawning and flattery of the human race's powerful figures, Meng Chen smiled faintly and spoke in a gentle voice.
"Well, in that case, I'll leave the sacred sites behind these two to you to deal with. If they aren't completely eradicated within three days, then I'll deal with you as well."
Upon hearing this, the human race's powerful figures were all dumbfounded. They were being asked to destroy the Yin-Yang Holy Land and the Taiqing Holy Land?
Seeing their hesitation, Meng Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gentle voice turned cold.
"What, is that not allowed?"
"No problem! The Xuan Tian Holy Land will obey the Emperor's decree!"
"The Azure Cloud Sword Sect respectfully obeys the Emperor's decree!"
"The Lin family respectfully obeys the Emperor's decree!"
"The Primordial Holy Land respectfully obeys the Great Emperor's decree!"
"The Heaven-Mending Sect respectfully obeys the Great Emperor's decree..."
Despite their reluctance, the representatives of the holy sects and ancient families chose to obey Meng Chen's imperial decree and leave safely first.
Meng Chen naturally knew they were just being polite, but he didn't care. He then smiled and said:
"Well, there's one more thing. I intend to establish a Heavenly Court and sincerely invite you all to join. Of course, if you are unwilling, I will not force you; it is entirely up to your own will."
Establish a Heavenly Court?!
This not only changed the expression of the human race, but even the ancient races who were watching the show were shocked.
Since the birth of the ancestral court of the human race, establishing a heavenly court has become an absolute taboo. Any being who wants to establish a heavenly court, even an emperor, will be subjected to the most intense targeting by the ancestral court.
A dozen or so imperial eras ago, there was a great emperor who wanted to establish a heavenly court. As a result, three human emperor ancestors stepped out of the ancestral court, reached the pinnacle of their power, and besieged that great emperor.
Finally, at the cost of the fall of one Emperor Ancestor and serious injuries to two others, they managed to suppress and kill the Great Emperor who had just attained enlightenment and had not yet fully mastered the Heavenly Heart Mark.
This also made all living beings in the universe fully understand the terrifying power of the ancestral home of humanity, as well as the absolute taboos of the Heavenly Court.
Anyone who dares to establish a Heavenly Court is going against the ancestral court of the human race, and it will be a fight to the death!
The way the human powerhouses looked at Meng Chen changed; their original awe turned into mockery.
Meng Chen has truly gone mad! He's so audacious, wanting to establish a Heavenly Court. Just wait for the ancestral emperors of the ancestral court to settle scores with him!
Meng Chen noticed the change in the eyes of the group of humans, slowly raised his hand, and gently shook hands with them.
"I don't like the way you're looking at me. Fine, I'll go and destroy those two holy lands myself. You can all go down and join them..."
Crash! Crash! Crash! Crash...
Like fireworks exploding, all the human representatives who came to pay homage were blown apart, their souls and bodies destroyed on the spot, leaving the ancient races dumbfounded.
It's definitely a human emperor, how come he kills people even more cleanly and efficiently than those ancient races, showing no mercy whatsoever!
