Chapter 47: The Awakening?

He was called the Xuan Di, Also known as Illustrious Emperor. He was said to be the Strongest Person in the Heavenly Realm, after the Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu who ruled the Heavenly Realm. 

"Are you going somewhere, little nephew? Shouldn't you tell your dear uncle before leaving? " The Illustrious Emperor let out with a grin on his face as he gazed at Xu Liang.

"Illustrious Emperor! Why are you doing it?" Xu Liang couldn't help but ask the Illustrious Emperor. Normally he used to call the Illustrious Emperor as Uncle Illustrious, but this time he didn't call him uncle for obvious reasons.

"Hmm? Is that a tone you should adopt when talking to your uncle? Well, Since it is your first offense I'll forgive you. " The Illustrious Emperor let out in an irritated tone.

"I don't think we'll need you here." He turned back and gazed at the Frost Swan. The Frost Swan was scared as it saw the chilling gaze of the Illustrious Emperor and flew away.

Goddess of Medicine Wen Yin frowned, but she didn't say anything about it.

" As for the answer to your question... Everything I'm doing is for the good of our Heavenly Realm. To maintain the purity of our Royal bloodline. I won't let it get dirty because of a mortal like my brother did. " The Illustrious Emperor said with a smile. 

"Aren't you afraid of my father? Do you think you can survive his wrath if you do anything? Don't do anything that you'll regret! "  Xu Liang let out loudly as he glared at the Illustrious Emperor. He tried to scare the Illustrious Emperor by talking about the Heavenly Emperor.

"Hmm? My brother? Hahahaha... Didn't Zhen tell you?" The Illustrious Emperor started laughing like crazy as he heard Xu Liang's threat.

"Didn't tell me what? Isn't Father in the Immortal Realm?" Xu Liang let out as he gazed at War God Zhen. He was starting to have a bad feeling.

"The... His Majesty..." With no other option, War God Zhen decided to tell Xu Liang about it, but he was interrupted by the Illustrious Emperor.

"Let me tell you instead. My dear brother... Is dead! He died to protect the world from an unknown danger. Although I don't know what that danger was, it's the truth that he is dead. Even his soul is gone!" The Illustrious Emperor let out in a serious tone.

"In a sense, we are similar. He gave a life for the sake of the world, and I'll take a life for the sake of our world! Finally, the impurity will be removed from our bloodline." A brutal smile appeared on the Illustrious Emperor's gaze as he looked at Xu Liang.

"We have no option but to fight. Wen Yin, Move to the side. You can't fight." War God Zhen let out a grave expression on his face as he stood in front of Wen Yin.

Wen Yin followed his orders and stepped back.

War God Zhen brought out his sword and ran towards the Illustrious Emperor.

A smile formed on the Illustrious Emperor's face as he saw War God Zhen attacking him. As the sword got near, the Illustrious Emperor dodged the attack and punched out.

War God Zhen was struck and coughed out a mouthful of blood as he flew away like a broken kite.

"Uncle Zhen!" Xu Liang let out as he ran towards War God Zhen.

"I... I think my chest bone is broken. I can't run or fight. You guys run away. He is too strong." War God Zhen let out in a pained tone.

" I... " Xu Liang gazed at War God Zhen's face then at Ming's face before he took a decision.

He stood up as he gazed at Xu Ming.

"We're leaving," He said as he held Xu Ming's hands. To be more precise, he touched his ring that was in Xu Ming's hands and brought out a red orb.

Xu Liang remembered the description of the orb that was given to him by his father. It was called the Space Relocation Crystal. This orb could open a portal to take someone to a random lower world.

Xu Liang threw the orb at a few meters distance from him. The orb started shining brightly until it took the form of a Spatial Portal that was 2 meters in diameter.

"Little Guy, go to that portal and leave. Father will come with Uncle Zhen." Xu Liang said with a smile as he placed Xu Ming on the ground and gave him a slight push towards the portal.

Xu Ming walked towards the portal and stood at the entrance as he waited for Xu Liang.

"Let's go. We're leaving as well." Xu Liang said as he was about to pick up War God Zhen when a loud laughter came.

" Aren't you forgetting someone? Although I don't know what that orb was and where that portal will take you, do you really think that I will let you leave so easily! I would kill you... and not only you... but that Little Kid behind you as well."

"I will dismember him to small pieces before throwing those pieces to the lower words. A place where all the mortal trash lives. It would be interesting to watch his pieces be eaten by the Mortal World's animals. " Illustrious Emperor let out as he appeared in front of  Xu Liang and grabbed him by his neck.

"M... my son..." Xu Liang muttered as the scene of Xu Ming being killed flashed before his eyes. His eyes turned completely white. At that moment the whole world turned silent.

Xu Liang's soul was chained by a hundred universal laws. One of the chains was already broken, but another 5 broke at the moment. All 5 broke at the same time.

The sky that was clear until a moment ago turned dark. It was even darker than it had been at the time when the Heavenly Emperor used all his strength to stabilize the barrier.

It began thundering heavily. The wind started moving faster.

The citizens of the Heavenly Realm were scared out of their minds. It was the first time such a scene occurred in the Heavenly Realm. The citizens who were outside hurriedly entered their houses and closed the doors and windows.

A frown appeared on the face of the Illustrious Emperor. He couldn't understand what was happening.
