166: Chapter 162 The Four Heavenly Kings Gather 166: Chapter 162 The Four Heavenly Kings Gather Kunpeng was shrouded in Demonic Qi, his true form no longer visible.

Upon hearing the Roc Demon King’s report, he said coldly, “Since he seeks death, I shall grant it to him.

Once my work is complete, I will personally kill him.”

Seeing Kunpeng’s domineering presence, the Roc Demon King became even more excited.

Meanwhile, Kunpeng closed his eyes as souls after souls entered his body, absorbed by him.

Great Emperor Ziwei received a message from True Martial Great Emperor.

His complexion drastically changed when he saw its contents.

“Kunpeng, you deserve to die.”

A terrifying murderous intent emanated from Great Emperor Ziwei, causing all the ministers in the hall to shiver involuntarily.

Everyone looked towards Great Emperor Ziwei, not knowing what had transpired.

Gold Star Taibai cautiously asked, “Your Majesty, may I know what has happened?”

Tossing the Messaging Jade Talisman in his hand to Gold Star Taibai, Great Emperor Ziwei gestured for him to see for himself.

Clearly, Great Emperor Ziwei was too angry to speak at the moment.

When Gold Star Taibai saw the content conveyed by True Martial Great Emperor, he couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

No wonder Great Emperor Ziwei was so furious—the Northern Continent had almost been wiped out.

All living beings had been corrupted by demons, turned into subordinates of Kunpeng; less than one ten-thousandth of the ancient Remnant Clan that remained on the entire Northern Continent survived.

What did this mean?

Billions of living beings had been demonically corrupted and died tragically.

This Kunpeng must have gone mad.

Doesn’t he realize that by doing this, the Heavenly Court will never let him go?

Even if the Jade Emperor is absent, the Four Heavenly Kings would take action.

After Gold Star Taibai relayed the message, all the immortals present were shocked to their cores.

The same thought crossed their minds—was Kunpeng insane?

“Summon the troops—We will personally lead the expedition,” commanded Great Emperor Ziwei, preparing to take action.

He knew well that True Martial Great Emperor was no match for Kunpeng.

That’s why True Martial Great Emperor had requested his aid and had not yet made a move.

However, Great Emperor Ziwei was concerned that Kunpeng might take the initiative to attack True Martial Great Emperor, jeopardizing his safety.

After all, True Martial Great Emperor was merely at the pinnacle of Heavenly Venerate, and there was still a considerable gap compared to a Great Heavenly Venerate.

If Kunpeng were to act, True Martial Great Emperor would not be able to withstand it.

The might of the Four Heavenly Kings was required to assist in the battle.

“Your Majesty, that’s not advisable,” said Master Ge, stepping forward to stop Great Emperor Ziwei.

Great Emperor Ziwei frowned, his displeasure evident as he said, “The Northern Continent is under my jurisdiction.

Now that it has come to this state, why shouldn’t I go to the rescue?”

Facing Great Emperor Ziwei’s somewhat angry gaze, Master Ge showed no fear.

He spoke gravely, “Your Majesty, it’s not advisable.

Do not forget, if you wish to become the Great Heavenly Venerate, you must have sufficient strength.

If you deplete your power against Kunpeng, how will you compete with the other three Great Emperors?”

Great Emperor Ziwei shouted angrily, “Does that mean when the common people are in trouble, I should not rescue them?

What’s the point of blocking the rank of Great Heavenly Venerate if that’s the case?

I’d rather not be the Great Heavenly Venerate.”

Gold Star Taibai looked on with admiration.

This was the prime candidate for Great Heavenly Venerate in his heart.

Master Ge, however, furrowed his brows.

He glanced at Gold Star Taibai, signaling him to persuade Great Emperor Ziwei.

It was definitely not suitable for Great Emperor Ziwei to lead the expedition in person.

Gold Star Taibai also stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty, I believe Master Ge makes a valid point.

You should not fight this alone.”

Great Emperor Ziwei stared at Gold Star Taibai and asked coldly, “Do you also seek to stop me?”

With a slight smile, Gold Star Taibai quickly responded, “I dare not.

I only advise Your Majesty to consider thoroughly before acting.

Moreover, even if Your Majesty were to take action, there is no certainty of defeating Kunpeng.

If we wish to defeat Kunpeng, I do have a suggestion.”

Great Emperor Ziwei felt indignant but also knew that what Gold Star Taibai had said was indeed the truth.

Although he was mighty, the chances of capturing Kunpeng were slim.

The opponent was originally one of the top existences among the Great Heavenly Venerates, with formidable strength.

Alone, Great Emperor Ziwei didn’t even have the confidence to win.

Moreover, since Kunpeng had turned to the demonic path, his strength must have increased.

In the Three Realms, there was a saying that after one underwent a dark transformation, their strength would certainly rise.

Kunpeng had undergone a thorough demonization, and of course, he was quite dark to begin with.

“You speak.”

Great Emperor Ziwei had calmed down slightly, and he gestured for Gold Star Taibai to speak.

Master Ge envied the trust that Great Emperor Ziwei placed in Gold Star Taibai,

but he also knew that one day, he too could be trusted like that by Great Emperor Ziwei, as long as he was loyal.

Gold Star Taibai stroked his long beard and said, “The Great Emperor can notify the other Three Great Emperors.

Together with the Four Celestial Kings of the Heavenly Court, I believe you can definitely capture Kunpeng.”

Upon hearing this, Great Emperor Ziwei’s eyes brightened.

That was indeed a good idea, although it was unknown whether the other three would be willing to take action.

“Your Majesty can rest assured, if the other three are unwilling to make a move, Your Majesty can issue an edict condemning them.

By doing so, not only will you earn a reputation, but it will also tarnish the reputations of the three Great Emperors.

To become a Great Heavenly Venerate of the Three Realms, prestige is indispensable,”

said Gold Star Taibai with a smile.

Great Emperor Ziwei immediately smiled, nodded, and said, “Taibai always has so many ideas, haha, go quickly and inform the other three Great Emperors now.”

“Yes,”

said Gold Star Taibai immediately.

He quickly sent someone to deliver the message.

Great Emperor Ziwei was somewhat anxious, mainly concerned about the safety of True Martial Great Emperor.

If True Martial Great Emperor were to be killed by Kunpeng, their Heavenly Court would become a joke.

Soon, Lady Houtu was the first to arrive.

She had a grave expression as she said, “Ziwei, my royal brother, when do we take action?”

“We await news from the other two.”

said Great Emperor Ziwei.

As soon as his voice fell, Gou Chen Great Emperor and Longevity Great Emperor from the Southern Pole arrived.

Anger was written on their faces.

“Kunpeng has gone too far this time; by any means necessary, we must eliminate him this time,”

said Gou Chen Great Emperor coldly.

In the Northern Continent, the remnants of the ancient clans had many talented cultivators.

He had a number of soldiers under his command who were from the Northern Continent.

Although the desires of the living beings there were low because all their material needs were met,

there were still those who sought different goals, who through cultivation became immortals to transcend the cycle of reincarnation.

Therefore, the subordinates of the Four Heavenly Kings all contained living beings from the Northern Continent.

Upon hearing of the calamity befallen the Northern Continent, they were almost driven mad, wanting to return to their homeland.

Great Emperor Ziwei’s gaze swept over the three with a mix of reassurance and disappointment.

But he quickly adjusted his emotion and said, “You should already be aware of the events that have occurred in the Northern Continent.

Kunpeng has now turned to demonization.

I fear True Martial Great Emperor is no match for him, which is why I asked the three of you to come.

Together, we will capture Kunpeng.”

“Agreed.”

“This is our duty.”

“Kunpeng will not survive this time.”

All four Great Emperors were brimming with murderous intent.
