The Forsaken's Revenge-Chapter 506: Schadenfreude

The cultivators in Xianxu were surprised, but some of them also reveled in the misfortune.

"People from the Heavenly King's Palace!"

Seeing this group of cultivators, the red-gold Nascent Soul's expression changed slightly. He secretly transmitted a message to Chen Zheng, "Ancestor Chen, these cultivators have powerful backgrounds. We can't confront them head-on. I advise you to leave Xianxu immediately!"

"Oh, you're scared?" Chen Zheng noted indifferently.

"Scared? I am the Saint Son of Huoling, how could I be scared? If you, Ancestor Chen, won't leave, then I won't leave either! Hmph! Now that the people from the Heavenly King's Palace have arrived, those mongrels will definitely try to cause trouble. You'd better not forget, Ancestor Chen, it was only by joining forces that we suppressed that forbidden being. If it breaks free, the consequences will be extremely dire! I strongly advise you to retreat. After all, this is Xianxu, a domain ruled by the Heavenly King's Palace!" the red-gold figure shouted coldly.

"So the people from your Heavenly King's Palace have some self-awareness," Chen Zheng smirked with disdain. "This time, I can't be bothered to get involved personally. You handle this nuisance for me."

"What?"

The red-gold figure was flabbergasted.

"You… what do you mean? Could it be that you know people from the Heavenly King's Palace? Could it be that you have ties with them?" the surrounding cultivators asked, looking at Chen Zheng with astonishment.

"Are you all the trash of the Heavenly King's Palace?" Chen Zheng swept his gaze over the crowd, his eyes landing casually on the man in golden armor.

The golden-armored man's eyebrows shot up instantly.

"Ancestor Chen…" The red-gold figure pondered for a moment, then sneered viciously. "So it turns out you know people from the Heavenly King's Palace! You don't need to worry. You are indeed formidable, but no matter how strong you are, you can't surpass emperor-level beings! Our Heavenly King of Xianxu is the Supreme among Supremes. Even if that forbidden being breaks its seal, it couldn't possibly trouble him! Ancestor Chen, are you scared now?"

"Supreme among Supremes? Heh. Your Heavenly King of Xianxu is just bottom-of-the-barrel trash in the supreme realm. In front of a true Supreme, he's not even worth mentioning. Of course, a true supreme being would disdain to come here, but your people from the Heavenly King's Palace are more than enough," Chen Zheng remarked indifferently.

BOOM!

At that moment, on the ancient city wall, the old stone gate trembled once more.

SWISH!

All at once, the gazes of the countless cultivators on the ancient city wall converged there.

"The Gate of Xianxu is open!"

"The Gate of Xianxu is truly open! A feast is about to begin!"

"Haha!"

The many cultivators were ecstatic.

SWOOSH!

At that very moment, a figure shot out from within the ancient city of Xianxu. He covered thousands of feet in an instant, stopping to hover in midair before bowing toward the Gate of Xianxu.

"We respectfully welcome the Supreme Lord's arrival!"

"We respectfully welcome the Supreme Lord's arrival!"

"We beseech the Supreme Lord to descend!"

A chorus of reverent voices arose from the ancient city.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

At that instant, the entire Xianxu trembled. Deep within its borders, a terrifying aura erupted.

WHOOSH!

Inside Xianxu, the sky split open for thousands of miles, and an ancient ship sailed out from the newly formed fissure in the void.

"A Supreme!"

"That is the warship of a Supreme Lord!"

"Is the Supreme Lord coming?!" the beings of Xianxu shouted excitedly.

The Supreme Lord had arrived. A wave of fear washed over the inhabitants of Xianxu. It was not just them; even the red-gold Nascent Soul was trembling.

"Ancestor Chen, the Supreme Lord has arrived! You must flee! The Supreme Lord could squash you with a single slap. If you don't run, you're done for!" the red-gold Nascent Soul urged Chen Zheng.

"Supreme Lord?" Chen Zheng's lips curled into a smirk. "That Supreme Lord you speak of had better not make a move, or I'll extinguish him."

"Ancestor Chen… you!" The red-gold Nascent Soul gaped.

The Supreme Lord! That's an emperor-level powerhouse! Ancestor Chen actually told a Supreme Lord not to make a move! This… Could it be that Ancestor Chen's cultivation is at the emperor level? But… he doesn't look like it at all!

"Ancestor Chen…"

"Esteemed elder…"

The beings of Xianxu furrowed their brows upon hearing the telepathic exchange between Chen Zheng and the red-gold Nascent Soul. This mysterious person has no regard for the Supreme Lord of the Heavenly King's Palace!

"Boy! You're far too arrogant!"

At that moment, the leader of the Heavenly King's Palace, Heavenly King Star, stepped forward. He raised his right hand, making a grasping motion at Chen Zheng through the air. With a thunderous boom, a purple light shot out from the ancient city gate, landing in Heavenly King Star's hand to reveal itself as a sword.

BOOM! 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

A terrifying sword aura swept out in all directions.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

Cultivators with weaker cultivation bases were slain on the spot.

"Such formidable power! My lord, please slay this beast!"

"My lord! This thief is extremely brazen. Please allow your subordinate the honor of executing him!"

"If we join forces, we are certain to slay this fiend!"

The cultivators within the ancient city trembled, kneeling and shouting in unison.

"Supreme Lord, why do you not appear? Don't tell me you also fear that man!" Heavenly King Star growled.

CRACKLE!

Suddenly, lightning flashed from within the Gate of Xianxu, and a moment later, a giant beast emerged.

HISS!

The cultivators outside Xianxu all gasped in unison. The giant beast was not a monstrous creature at all—it was a young human girl. At her side, however, was a white hound of impossible size, one that seemed many times more terrifying than a common dire beast.

"What… what's going on…" The red-gold Nascent Soul was stupefied.

What the hell is going on? That thing Heavenly King Star summoned was a dog, wasn't it? A dog! How can a dog possess such a terrifying presence?

The red-gold Nascent Soul's mind raced, and the more he thought, the more uneasy he became. He instinctively turned his head and saw Chen Zheng still seated at the stone table, seemingly oblivious to the danger. Not only that, but Chen Zheng had even closed his eyes as if he had fallen asleep.

Holy shit! What's wrong with Ancestor Chen?!

"Haha!" Heavenly King Star roared with laughter.

BOOM!

Just then, a clap of thunder exploded. High above the ancient city walls, a terrifying existence revealed its dharma form. As it manifested, all the cultivators saw a massive being appear, wreathed in chains of lightning. The moment it materialized, it glanced at Chen Zheng before suddenly throwing a punch at Heavenly King Star.

BANG!

A single punch blasted a hole straight through Heavenly King Star's chest.

"Ah!" he screamed in agony, staggering back as blood sprayed from the wound.

At that moment, complete silence fell over Xianxu.

"L-Lord Heavenly King Star…" the red-gold Nascent Soul stammered, his eyes wide in disbelief.

"You dare harm my disciple? You're seeking death!" a furious roar suddenly echoed from within the ancient city.

BOOM!

From within the city, figures soared into the sky. One of them, a middle-aged man, was also wreathed in chains of lightning.

The moment he appeared, Xianxu shook violently.

BOOM!

Upon the ancient city walls, the inhabitants trembled once more, nearly falling to their knees in worship.

"Master! You've finally come out!" Heavenly King Star stared at the middle-aged man who had appeared, his face filled with excitement. This man was the Supreme of Xianxu, a mid-stage Emperor. Heavenly King Star was confident that with his master present, this mysterious fellow would finally be slain.

"Hmm? And what kind of creature are you, you ant!"

However, when the Emperor-rank Supreme from the ancient city got a clear look at Chen Zheng's face, his brow twitched, his eyes filling with displeasure.

"Supreme Lord! He is Ancestor Chen!" Heavenly King Star blurted out, gritting his teeth.

"Ancestor Chen? Hmph! A mere half-step Quasi-Saint who has only passed one tribulation. It doesn't matter who's backing you; this lord will kill you today!" the Emperor-rank Supreme shouted coldly. He lifted his hand and pointed at Chen Zheng.

With a loud CRACK, a bolt of lightning blasted down from the heavens.

BOOM
