# Chapter 1513: Two Emperors Fall
"Let's go in!" Mu Chen led the group into the ancient castle's corridor. The bronze color seemed to highlight the castle's long history. The footsteps of the crowd were very light, but they still left echoes in the empty ancient castle.
"That sun pattern, could it be the passage to Holy City Central Continent?" Lin Feng and the others stared at the pattern that seemed as if it might open at any moment, thinking to themselves. Beside the pattern stood a statue, which was unmistakably the Envoy, lifelike in every detail.
"Envoy!" Mu Chen called out to the statue. Immediately, his voice reverberated through the empty ancient castle, lingering for a long time.
Suddenly, the crowd clearly sensed a ripple of energy within the Envoy's statue.
After calling out once, Mu Chen said nothing more, simply waiting there in silence.
A moment later, a dazzling white light suddenly burst forth. The Envoy's statue lit up, and then the crowd saw the lifelike statue begin to show signs of life. It started to move, while the dazzling light curtain dimmed slightly.
"Greetings, Envoy!" Mu Chen bowed slightly to the statue. To reach Holy City Central Continent, they had to go through him, so he had to show him due respect.
"Is there something you need?" A voice emerged from the statue, sounding rather stiff.
Lin Feng and the others felt somewhat dissatisfied upon hearing this. They had already arrived here—wasn't the Envoy's question deliberately feigning ignorance?
"Envoy, we have brought our destinies and wish to travel to Holy City Central Continent. We ask that you open the passage!" Mu Chen maintained his polite demeanor, not showing the slightest hint of displeasure.
"I have important matters to attend to today and have no time to open the passage. Come back another day!" The Envoy's voice remained stiff as he replied, causing Mu Chen's eyes to suddenly narrow.
"Envoy, we hope to reach the Holy City as soon as possible. We ask that you spare a moment of your time!" Mu Chen still showed no displeasure, speaking calmly.
"I already said, come back another day!" The Envoy's voice turned colder, causing Mu Chen and the others to freeze. A trace of anger even appeared on Mu Chen's face.
"Envoy, guarding this passage is your duty!" Mu Chen raised his voice slightly. Suddenly, light flickered, and a figure appeared before the crowd—it was the Envoy himself.
The Envoy was still wearing a loose long robe. He took a step forward, and a fierce cold wind descended upon the crowd.
"Today, I'm busy!"
"Get lost!"
A gale slammed into the crowd. Everyone felt a surging, overwhelming force pressing down on them, sending their bodies hurtling backward along the ancient castle corridor, forcibly expelled from the Sun Ancient Castle.
Suspended in the void, terrifying pressure descended upon the crowd. Mu Chen's mind stirred, and a powerful imposing aura enveloped everyone. The Envoy inside the castle wore a cold smile on his lips as he said indifferently, "Watch your tone next time you come!"
With that, his body directly merged into his own statue, and moments later, his presence and aura vanished.
"No time?" A surge of anger welled up in the crowd's hearts. The Envoy's dismissive gaze as he left made them feel humiliated in their calm hearts. He had no intention of letting them into the castle at all. He had appeared right before them—how could he have no time? As for the tone of voice, Mu Chen had been very polite the entire time. It was only after being repeatedly refused that his tone turned slightly colder. Did it really have anything to do with tone?
"Senior Brother!" Lin Feng walked over to Mu Chen and called out softly.
"It's nothing!" Mu Chen's eyes showed a contemplative expression, then returned to calm. He said to the crowd, "Let's go back!"
As his words fell, Mu Chen wrapped everyone in his powerful imposing aura and swept downward. The Sun Ancient Castle, suspended beyond the heavens, gradually faded from view, obscured by rolling, terrifying clouds.

At Rising Sun City in the Eastern Wasteland, the Qi family's territory was now a complete mess. The vast Qi estate had been destroyed, leaving only endless dust and rubble, broken and battered.
The void light curtain was finally shattered. Eastern Emperor, Sikong Old Martial Emperor, Wen Emperor's Father, and the Undying Heavenly Palace's Old Emperor fought until heaven and earth split apart, tearing through the void and leaving the area.
Qi Emperor, skilled in Void Law, was the fastest to flee. He had started running as soon as Eastern Emperor and the others began fighting, with no intention of staying. The disparity between the two sides was too great. Staying to fight would mean certain death—just like Heavenly Dragon Emperor and Alchemy Emperor at this moment, trapped by the assembled emperors with no escape route.
Heavenly Dragon Emperor's body had fully transformed into a demonic dragon, smashing heaven and earth to pieces and shaking the void. But now, he was drenched in blood, like a spent force.
"Another Martial Emperor is going to fall today!" The crowd had retreated who knows how far back, afraid of being caught in the battle's aftermath. They gazed toward the sky above the Qi estate. The Watcher was dealing with the assassins of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance. Eastern Emperor and the other three mid-rank emperors were fighting in the void. The other Martial Emperors of the Eight Wastelands focused their attention on Heavenly Dragon Emperor and Alchemy Emperor, determined to eliminate these two remnants of the Eight Wastelands.
If a Martial Emperor found even the slightest opening, they could escape. Therefore, trying to keep all enemy emperors trapped was not a good strategy. Instead, letting a few go while targeting specific ones for death was more practical. Just like now, Heavenly Dragon Emperor and Alchemy Emperor were the two Martial Emperors marked for death. It seemed they had no way out. The crowd was ready to witness the fall of Martial Emperors with their own eyes.
"Flame Emperor, let's destroy him together!" At this moment, Great Ape Emperor spoke to a Martial Emperor dressed as a Taoist priest. This was the new Martial Emperor of Flame Mountain—Yan Emperor!
"Address me as Flame Emperor!" The Taoist priest glared at Great Ape Emperor, whose bell-like eyes rolled back as he said, "Fine, Flame Emperor, let's attack together and see if that shell of his can hold!"
After Heavenly Dragon Emperor used his secret technique to transform into a demonic dragon, his defense became terrifyingly strong. The Martial Emperors besieging him now included Wen Emperor, Great Ape Emperor, Flame Emperor, and Yu Emperor—all with powerful offensive capabilities. Additionally, Wen Emperor could seal the void, preventing Heavenly Dragon Emperor from escaping. As for the Taoist priest, he didn't seem to have made a move yet.
On the other side of the battle, Assassin Emperor, Six Desires Martial Emperor, and several others from Thunder Sound Temple were dealing with Alchemy Emperor. Since Alchemy Emperor's expertise in poison had been exposed, using Assassin Emperor and Six Desires Martial Emperor against him was more suitable for delivering a fatal blow. His poison was hard to defend against, but Assassin Emperor's assassination techniques and Six Desires Martial Emperor's Six Desires Illusion Art were also extremely terrifying. If Alchemy Emperor's attention wavered even slightly, he would fall into a death trap.
With this lineup, Alchemy Emperor and Heavenly Dragon Emperor were as good as dead. The assembled emperors were just being cautious, not giving them any chance to counterattack.
"Buzz!" The wooden staff on Great Ape Emperor's back suddenly began to shake. In an instant, the sky was filled with staff shadows reaching the horizon. Rumbling sounds echoed through heaven and earth like thunderclaps.
"Power, Great Derivation Staff Technique—Derive Heaven-Shattering Power!"
Heavenly Dragon Emperor looked up and roared wildly, charging forward. Wen Emperor sneered and said, "Yu Emperor!"
As his words fell, Heavenly Dragon Emperor felt his body suddenly halt. Then, both in front of and behind him, rocks began to cover the area, obstructing his advance.
"Chi, chi..." The sky-covering staff shadows transformed into countless guillotines. These guillotines seemed to hang from the heavens, now descending with infinite force. The fierce sharpness caused Heavenly Dragon Emperor's massive demonic dragon body to thrash violently. Rumbling sounds erupted as the void and rocks ahead all shattered. But the guillotines, falling like a rain of stars, struck Heavenly Dragon Emperor's enormous body. Blood dyed the sky crimson, and miserable roars shook the void itself.
Heavenly Dragon Emperor transformed back into human form, his entire body a miserable sight. He was still roaring wildly. At almost the same moment, a desolate, annihilating aura suddenly descended, causing Heavenly Dragon Emperor's expression to freeze. Ignoring the pain in his body, he struck forward with his palm, carrying terrifying power. However, a strange pattern appeared before him, eerie and unnatural. Dark flames destroyed his palm, directly severing and burning it—it was the Taoist priest who had arrived.
"Perish!" A finger pointed at the center of Heavenly Dragon Emperor's brow. Instantly, Heavenly Dragon Emperor's body froze there, his eyes filled with intense fear. Then, black flames sprouted from his entire head, beginning to burn.
Law force spread from Heavenly Dragon Emperor's body, surging toward the sky. The Taoist priest retreated, clasped his hands together, and said, "Dying at my hands, you can rest in peace!"
In truth, Heavenly Dragon Emperor's eyes were fixed on him the whole time—clearly an expression of dying with eternal regret!
On the other side of the battle, Assassin Emperor's assassination sword had also pierced through Alchemy Emperor's head. Law force began to dissipate. Two Martial Emperors had fallen almost simultaneously.
"From now on, the Eight Wastelands Realm has lost two more Martial Emperors and three Martial Emperor-level factions!" The crowd's hearts trembled inwardly. They had already lost count of how many Martial Emperors had fallen. It was numbing. How difficult was it for the Eight Wastelands to produce a single Martial Emperor? Yet within a single year, Martial Emperors kept falling one after another!
Lin Feng and the others returned from the void, just in time to witness the fall of Heavenly Dragon Emperor and Alchemy Emperor. Their expressions froze slightly. Heavenly Dragon Emperor was dead too. From now on, Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress would completely turn to dust in history, utterly annihilated from the Eight Wastelands. Alchemy Emperor was a pitiful man—because he had chosen the wrong side, he had brought about his own destruction today!
