Chapter 26: Repelling the Stone Emperor, the Demon Spider Appears!
Who would have thought that Shi Chen would actually annihilate a divine projection!?
This was beyond everyone's expectations.
No one had ever dared to be so bold as to obliterate a divine projection.
Especially not one that might still be alive.
This would undoubtedly attract the vengeance of a god.
Sure enough, as the Rain God's projection vanished, a strange rune appeared in the sky, shimmering and radiating an inexplicable aura, attempting to imprint itself on Shi Chen's body.
“Trying to mark me?”
Shi Chen grabbed the rune with a single hand, shrouding it with a layer of chaotic divine light, suppressing its mystical nature.
The rune struggled desperately, trying to ascend to the heavens, but it was unable to break free from Shi Chen's grip, held firmly within his grasp.
“Don't worry, you don't have to find me. I will naturally come to you.”
Shi Chen said with a playful gleam in his eyes.
“A god, I imagine it would be quite interesting to kill.”
Arrogant!
Shi Chen's words were incredibly arrogant.
Yet, coming from his mouth, they evoked a sense of conviction.
Then, Shi Chen turned around, looking down at the Rain Clan members and the Rain King.
“Any other tricks up your sleeve?”
“Show me what you've got.”
“If you don't use them now, you won't get another chance.”
Shi Chen said pointedly.
He knew full well that the Rain Palace and the Demon Spider Lake had colluded long ago.
The Golden Spider Venerable from Demon Spider Lake should be lurking nearby.
The only question was whether this Golden Spider Venerable would be willing to intervene for the Rain Clan?
Shi Chen actually hoped this Golden Spider Venerable would come out himself.
Divine projections, after all, were just that, projections.
He needed a genuine opponent, a worthy adversary to test his strength once more.
The Arrayed King Lords were no longer a challenge for Shi Chen.
Gods rarely manifested themselves in the world, making this Venerable the perfect choice for Shi Chen.
“What do you mean by that?”
The Rain King looked at Shi Chen, who seemed to have seen through everything, and his heart inexplicably filled with panic.
For years, he hadn't felt such emotions.
“Still not calling for reinforcements? This is your last chance.”
Shi Chen's body faintly glowed with divine light.
He actually wanted to kill the Rain King!!
Everyone present was stunned by the killing intent Shi Chen displayed.
They hadn't expected Shi Chen to be so audacious, to actually attempt to kill the Rain King!
At this point, the Stone Emperor hidden in the shadows could no longer remain silent.
He could sense that Shi Chen's words were genuine.
In his view, no matter how wrong the Rain King might have been, he was still a citizen of Stone Nation.
If he were to die, it would undoubtedly lead to a significant decrease in Stone Nation's overall strength.
He couldn't allow that to happen.
“Young Master Shi Chen, please give this Emperor some face.”
The Stone Emperor emerged from the void, adorned in imperial robes, his every step a display of regal authority.
“It's His Majesty!”
“His Majesty has arrived!”
“Unexpectedly, even His Majesty has been alerted.”
…
Countless people exclaimed in astonishment upon seeing the Stone Emperor's arrival, some even kneeling and shouting "Long Live the Emperor!"
“Who are you?”
Shi Chen said with a complete lack of respect.
The Stone Emperor's face twitched, but he still patiently replied.
“This Emperor is the Sovereign of Stone Nation, the Stone Emperor!”
Stone Emperor?
Upon hearing this name, Shi Chen pondered for a moment.
Right, Stone Nation did have a Stone Emperor.
However, in the original plot, this guy was essentially invisible during the early stages.
He only appeared when Shi Hao attacked the Martial Palace, acting as a peacemaker and granting Shi Hao a title.
Yet, during the Tribulation of the Lower Realm, he vanished without a trace.
He never even showed his face from beginning to end.
This had led Shi Chen to practically forget that Stone Nation had a Stone Emperor.
“Give you face? On what basis?”
Shi Chen said without any hesitation.
When Shi Hao first came, where was he to uphold justice?
Now he emerges and demands respect?
Ridiculous!
Shi Chen's words caused the smile on the Stone Emperor's face to freeze.
He had expected Shi Chen to refuse, but he hadn't anticipated such a blatant disregard for his authority.
He was the Stone Emperor, for heaven's sake!
“Get out of my way!”
“Scram!”
Shi Chen extended his hand, a terrifying aura emanating from him as he enveloped the Rain King.
The Stone Emperor, who had been standing between them, hesitated for only a moment before retreating.
He could feel a threat of death emanating from Shi Chen's hand.
He was absolutely certain that if he continued to stand in the way, the other party would kill him without hesitation.
Although the Stone Emperor could harness the fortune of Stone Nation to bolster himself, allowing him to contend with Venerable Realm cultivators, this process took time.
A son of a noble family does not sit in the hall.
The Stone Emperor wouldn't risk his life.
Just as Shi Chen's hand was about to crush the Rain King, a majestic and terrifying demonic aura erupted from the heavens.
Violent energy fluctuations surged forth, causing the entire Rain Palace to tremble.
The sky was torn apart, and an ancient demon spider appeared out of thin air, its massive legs covered in golden bristles that radiated divine light, clashing with Shi Chen's hand.
