Against The Sky Supreme

"That's great! Our emperor is now..."

Tan Yun and his companion exchanged glances, intrigued by the news.

They quickly made their way through the lavish halls of the Imperial Palace, eager to learn more about what had sparked such excitement among the palace staff.

Suddenly, a loud voice echoed through the corridors. It was the City Lord, addressing the gathered crowd with enthusiasm.

"The great news has arrived! The Eastern Continent Great Emperor has attained a new level of strength and is now preparing to hold a grand ceremony to celebrate this achievement!"

Tan Yun's heart raced at the mention of the Eastern Continent Great Emperor. He had heard tales of the emperor's power and wisdom, and this news only heightened his anticipation.

"What do you think this ceremony will entail?" his companion asked, curiosity evident in their tone.

Tan Yun pondered for a moment before replying, "It could be a chance for many to showcase their abilities. Perhaps even a demonstration of the combined attack technique."

As they continued to listen to the chatter around them, the excitement in the air was palpable. The palace was abuzz with preparations, and it seemed that everyone was eager to participate in the upcoming festivities.

They soon found themselves in a grand hall, where the City Lord was still speaking to the assembly.

"Let us prepare ourselves for the ceremony! This is an opportunity for all to witness the power of our emperor and the divine abilities he possesses! We shall not miss this chance to honor him!"

Tan Yun felt a surge of determination. This was not just a celebration; it could be a pivotal moment for him and his journey.

"We have to be ready," he said firmly to his companion. "This is our opportunity to make a mark in the Divine Domain."

With that, they began to strategize their next steps, knowing that the upcoming ceremony could change everything for them.

"Is that true?"

"Of course it's true! The Grand Steward just said it himself!"

"Then it must be true. How exciting!"

"..."

The voices of the crowd lingered in their ears. Tan Yun and Fang Zixi exchanged a disdainful smile.

...

Half an hour later, in the Eastern Continent Imperial Hall.

In the great hall, civil and military officials gathered together, bowing and calling out to the Eastern Continent Great Emperor, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on entering the ranks of legendary strongmen!"

"Hahaha, rise," the Eastern Continent Great Emperor said as he gestured for everyone to stand. A hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes, "I summoned all of you today to announce something."

"I will be heading to the Eastern Continent Divine Sect shortly to discuss with my brother-in-law the plan to take the initiative and attack the Western Continent Divine Domain."

"It is expected that in three years, we will cross the Sea of Demons and launch an assault on the West!"

"Therefore, you are to relay the message down, letting the city lords of each divine city lead elite troops to gather outside the Eastern Continent Ancestral City in three years, to attack the West and eliminate Tan Yun and Fang Zixi..."

Before the Eastern Continent Great Emperor could finish, a eunuch's reprimanding voice rang out from outside the hall, "Who are you two? The emperor is currently in a meeting with the civil and military officials. Without the emperor's summons, no one is allowed to..."

Before the eunuch could finish, a cold laugh echoed inside the hall, "Go to hell!"

"Ah!"

"Bang!"

The screams abruptly stopped, and then the eunuch's corpse, splattered with blood, flew into the hall, crashing heavily among the officials.

"Who is so audacious!" The Eastern Continent Great Emperor rose from his dragon throne, witnessing an old man and a young man stepping into the hall.

"Eastern Continent Great Emperor, do you know who I am?" Tan Yun removed his disguise technique, returning to his youthful appearance, while Fang Zixi also undid her disguise, revealing her breathtaking beauty.

"It’s you two!" The Eastern Continent Great Emperor’s eyes widened in shock, a sense of foreboding rising within him.
