“Why are you all still standing there? Get out! All of you, get out of this sovereign's sect!”
The high-ranking officials felt as if they had been granted amnesty and hurriedly left the Hall of Ascendancy, aimlessly searching for Tan Yun’s whereabouts...
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, two years had passed.
During these two years, the Eastern Continent Great Emperor, who had not found Tan Yun, returned empty-handed to the Eastern Continent Ancestral City’s Imperial Palace with over a hundred billion troops…
At the same time.
In the Eastern Continent Ancestral Dynasty, in the extreme southern region, there was a vast prairie rich in heaven and earth divine essence and ancestral qi, where an extremely massive giant city stood.
This city was called the Heavenly镇神城. It was not only the largest city in the southern part of the Eastern Continent Ancestral Dynasty but also ranked third among the nine major cities of the dynasty, with a population reaching one hundred and eighty billion.
Surrounding the Heavenly镇神城 were twelve smaller cities, and even combined, their population was less than one-tenth of the Heavenly镇神城.
This illustrates just how enormous the Heavenly镇神城 was.
At this moment, around the twelve cities surrounding the Heavenly镇神城, there were mountains of corpses, and rivers of blood flowed through the devastated streets.
In those twelve cities, over two billion people had all been slaughtered by Tan Yun and Yu Yunxi.
During the massacre, neither Tan Yun nor Yu Yunxi showed any signs of sympathy, as these individuals had all sworn a blood oath to hunt down the remnants of the Immortal Ancient Divine Race.
Tan Yun and Yu Yunxi understood that being merciful to enemies was being cruel to themselves. Faced with enemies, especially those who were ungrateful and slandered the Immortal Ancient Divine Race from eighty-two million years ago, Tan Yun felt justified and guiltless!
At the same time, while Tan Yun was bloodily cleansing the twelve cities, he also plundered all the wealth within them.
As night fell, in the Eastern Continent Ancestral Dynasty, within the Eastern Continent Imperial Palace.
“Urgent military report!”
A general shouted, swiftly navigating through the palace to reach the Eastern Continent Supreme Hall.
Inside the grand hall, the Eastern Continent Great Emperor, who was discussing matters with the Eastern Continent Empress, looked at the general kneeling on one knee and asked, “What happened?”
The general lowered his head and reported truthfully, “Reporting to the emperor, the twelve divine cities surrounding the Heavenly镇神城 in the southern region have been slaughtered!”
“What did you say?” The Eastern Continent Great Emperor and the Eastern Continent Empress instantly stood up.
“Reporting to the emperor,” the general continued, “the culprit is none other than the remnants of the Immortal Ancient Divine Race. After the massacre, that remnant even erected a giant monument outside the twelve cities with the inscription…”
At this point, the general hesitated to continue.
“What does it say? Speak!” The Eastern Continent Great Emperor was furious.
The general braced himself and said, “That remnant left a message that he would remain in the Eastern Continent Divine Domain from now on.”
“He also said that every two years, he would slaughter ten cities!”
“Arrogant!” The Eastern Continent Great Emperor was enraged and smashed the dragon chair to the ground, “This bastard is truly excessively arrogant!”
“Emperor, please calm down,” the Eastern Continent Empress comforted, “Anger is harmful to your health!”
“Empress!” The Eastern Continent Great Emperor’s face turned red with anger, “Think about it, this remnant of the Immortal Ancient Divine Race is like an elusive eel, appearing and disappearing without a trace, slaughtering our people, yet I am completely powerless! How can you expect me to calm down!”
“As long as I encounter that remnant, I could crush him to death with a single finger! But I just can’t catch him; I am truly at my wit's end, and it frustrates me to no end!”
