Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1404: Chapter 1422: Heavenly Remnant City Lord

Conquering Heaven General’s expression froze, his eyes filled with intense fear.

His mouth gaped wide, but due to terror, he couldn’t utter a sound.

He could only feel the cold of the Purple Sword piercing into his neck.

This was his first time experiencing death up close.

He never imagined that this day would come so suddenly!

In the distance, the young City Lord’s pupils also contracted sharply, but he was too late to intervene, his heart leaping to his throat.

Is a Dharma Image Realm about to fall in Heavenly Heritage City?

"Stop!"

Just at this moment.

A mighty voice full of awe radiated in all directions.

Even someone like the young City Lord at the Dharma Image Realm shuddered when the sound passed over him.

The eight generals present simultaneously knelt on the ground.

Jiang Fan’s body became rigid, the sword aimed at Conquering Heaven General’s neck couldn’t be swung down.

His heart palpitated with fear.

What kind of a figure could command such heavenly authority with just a shout?

Only one kind of being!

A Venerable of the Heavenly Human Five Declines.

In Heavenly Heritage City, it would be a body refiner of the Five Phases Realm.

Such a powerful entity, there is only one in Heavenly Heritage City, and that is the dominator of the city.

The City Lord of Heavenly Heritage City!

The surrounding space suddenly vibrated as if about to collapse.

Looking towards the source of the vibration.

A towering giant nine zhang tall, leading a group of giants over five zhang strides across the land, approaching.

Just by appearance, the nine zhang giant is almost catching up to a true Ancient Giant.

But his facial features and profile are indistinguishable from humans.

He’s a Half-Giant!

The Nine Zhang Half-Giant, accompanied by seven other generals, created void cracks in the space with their steps, approaching swiftly.

He glanced at Conquering Heaven General, whose chest had exploded, half of his neck sliced, and whose Dharma was damaged.

His eyes showed a deep regret.

Then he looked towards Jiang Fan, eyes brimming with coldness:

"Not going to release him yet?"

Conquering Heaven General came to his senses and quickly said:

"Jiang Fan, this is our City Lord of Heavenly Heritage City, a supreme expert of the Five Phases Realm!"

"Equivalent to your magic cultivator’s Heavenly Human Five Declines Great Venerate!"

"His words, it’s needless to explain their significance, right?"

In any province, the words of a Heavenly Human Five Declines Great Venerate are akin to imperial decree.

Daring to defy them, the few are even fewer.

Had it been before, Jiang Fan might have had reservations.

But, knowing his destined end, Jiang Fan became fearless.

He laughed heartily: "Appearing neither sooner nor later, coincidentally at the time this beast is about to be executed!"

"City Lord of Heavenly Heritage, you can’t bear to lose this beast, eh!"

The City Lord of Heavenly Heritage City, hands behind his back, looked down at Jiang Fan indifferently, saying:

"In my Heavenly Heritage City, it’s not your place to decide!"

As his voice fell, it suppressed Jiang Fan to immobility.

Taking this opportunity.

Conquering Heaven General painfully pulled the Purple Sword from his neck.

Then, despite the severe pain, he tore off the Nine Dragon Demon Tripod clinging to him, skin and flesh ripping away.

Relieved, with a flash, he appeared behind the City Lord of Heavenly Heritage City, eyes alight with surprise, saying:

"Many thanks to the City Lord for the rescue!"

The City Lord of Heavenly Heritage City nodded slightly.

His gaze towards Jiang Fan grew increasingly dignified and indifferent:

"No one can run wild in my Heavenly Heritage City."

As his words fell, the authority in his eyes doubled.

Already immobilized by suppression, Jiang Fan suddenly felt as if several giant cities weighed upon him.

His body emitted sounds of unbearable strain.

His knees bent continuously.

The City Lord of Heavenly Heritage intends to make him kneel!

Jiang Fan had come with the spirits of Kaiyang City to demand blood debt from Heavenly Heritage City!

If he kneels, where does that leave the spirits?

"Three Phases, open!"

Jiang Fan gritted his teeth, holding on, the veins on his neck twisted.

Three divine images were summoned in succession, forcibly resisting the City Lord of Heavenly Heritage City’s pressure.

"A body refiner too, and has cultivated to the peak of the Golden Body Realm."

The City Lord of Heavenly Heritage City appeared slightly surprised.

Throughout Central Earth’s Nine Provinces, body refiners are a very rare group.

To refine the physique to the pinnacle of the Golden Body Realm is even rarer.

Only their Half-Giants, leveraging the bloodline of Ancient Giants, have it relatively easier.

But in this era, only about a hundred generals have reached the peak of the Golden Body Realm.

Unexpectedly, apart from their Half-Giants, someone else could cultivate the physique to such a level!

He pondered briefly, saying:

"Considering your rare talent in body refinement, I’ll offer you a path."

"How about joining my Heavenly Heritage City?"

"I will find a way to cultivate you to the Dharma Image Realm, one day help you break into the Divinity Transformation Venerable Realm."

"Thus, you would become the sole Dual Cultivation wielder in Central Earth."

His eyes showed a trace of anticipation.

There have been figures who achieved Dual Cultivation of Body and Magic to the Venerable level.

But each one was a prominent figure in history, renowned for their era, astounding for eternity.

Jiang Fan’s physique was cultivated to the pinnacle of the Golden Body, his cultivation reached Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul.

Possibilities of becoming a Dual Cultivation Venerable.

If he could let his son control a Dual Cultivation Venerable and have him swear allegiance, he could confidently hand over Heavenly Heritage City to his son.

Jiang Fan laughed, full of sarcasm: "Joining a group of cannibalistic beasts?"

"I can’t do it!"

The City Lord of Heavenly Heritage City said plainly: "Who said Kaiyang City’s incident was orchestrated by our Conquering Heaven General?"

"Is there evidence?"

Still want to deny?

Jiang Fan produced the Four and a Half Giants, shouting: "Tell them, who was responsible for the incident in the Seven Cities of Heavenly Abyss?"

The Four and a Half Giants gazed at the nearby City Lord of Heavenly Heritage, soul trembling.

Tremblingly said: "I... I don’t know."

The City Lord of Heavenly Heritage City said indifferently: "Heard that? This matter has nothing to do with us Half-Giants."

Ziwei Fairy couldn’t bear it, angrily pointed at Kaiyang City:

"What about this city?"

"Remnants and broken bodies everywhere, if not eaten, then what?"

The City Lord of Heavenly Heritage City, arms folded across his chest, said indifferently:

"You Magic Cultivators often fight amongst yourselves; isn’t that common?"

"As for the missing limbs, maybe it was wild dogs."

"Not our Heavenly Heritage City’s fault."

Ziwei Fairy gritted her teeth, eyes filled with anger: "I thought as the City Lord of Heavenly Heritage, you would at least have some fairness and objectivity."

"Turns out, you’re just like them!"

The City Lord of Heavenly Heritage City narrowed his eyes, a hint of coldness in his gaze.

"Ziwei Fairy, you’re the heir of Star Mountain, now representing Star Mountain."

"Some words shouldn’t be spoken lightly, they could impact the alliance between both sides."

"With evidence, I’ll uphold justice for the spirits of Kaiyang City."

"Without evidence, remain silent..."

As soon as the words fell.

An old voice, accompanied by coughs, came from above Kaiyang City.

It was that old woman they had rescued.

She had already awakened on the journey here.

Witnessing Jiang Fan risking everything, about to seek justice for the tragic victims of several cities.

But unexpectedly, the City Lord of Heavenly Heritage would rather damage the city’s name to protect that beast!

So she stepped forward.

"I, the City Lord of Kaiyang City!"

"Can testify!"
