Chapter 1093 - Chapter 1093 Chapter 694 Would Rather Die Than Submit Think

Chapter 1093: Chapter 694: Would Rather Die Than Submit? Think Again_2 Chapter 1093: Chapter 694: Would Rather Die Than Submit? Think Again_2 The Old Burial King kept a very humble attitude.

After all, he was the one asking for a favor. If he put on airs, it would be quite insensitive.

Jiang Hui stood with his hands behind his back, slightly nodded as if contemplating. After a moment, he then slowly spoke, “Oh? Since you claim to bear no malice, why then did you intrude into my domain and attempt to lay hands on my Holy Land?”

The Old Burial King’s face stiffened instantly.

It was exactly what he had feared would be brought up.

Before coming, he had feared that The Master of Liu Village would mention this very incident.

Since the incident had been so sudden, it was really hard to justify.

At the same time,

beside the Old Burial King,

the Primordial Spirit of the Fat Burial King looked startled, then unconsciously shrank back into the crowd.

Luckily, it seemed that Jiang Hui had lost interest in him, not even sparing him a glance, which immensely relieved the Fat Burial King.

With quick thinking, the Old Burial King came up with an excuse he had been contemplating all the way here: “Fellow Daoist, we did not intend to harm your kin. We never planned to assault the Holy Land. It was just that Momin Funeral King’s brain had once suffered severe injuries, and even though he has recovered, he sometimes cannot control himself. This led to the misunderstanding. We are prepared to apologize and compensate for your losses.”

As the Old Burial King spoke, the Primordial Spirit of the Fat Burial King quickly nodded in agreement, like a pecking chicken.

Jiang Hui slightly raised his eyebrows as his robes fluttered, “King Huo Heng Burial, such excuses wouldn’t even deceive a three-year-old child. I honestly don’t see any sincerity in your apologies.”

The Old Burial King’s heart tightened, knowing that The Master of Liu Village was not so easily fooled. However, he had no other option but to bravely continue, “Fellow Daoist, we sincerely wish to apologize. If you could kindly forgive us this one time, we are willing to pay any price.”

A hint of mockery flashed in Jiang Hui’s eyes as he said lightly, “Any price? Do you even know what I want?”

At these words, he looked straight at Zhuo Han Burial King, who was still indecisive in his heart.

Without any explicit hint, his implication was clear.

Feeling the intense and indescribable vast gaze upon him,

Zhuo Han Burial King was momentarily stunned.

Then he slightly lifted his head, displaying a look uglier than crying.

He was definitely the one being pointed out.

However, at the same time, this Sage somewhat eased his tension.

It seemed he had not guessed wrong; the other party indeed wanted their allegiance.

Though it wasn’t exactly good news, compared to the scenarios he had just wildly imagined, it was much better.

After all, this meant that the other party wouldn’t act out suddenly and might even discuss terms with them.

In a word, there was room for negotiation.

“Fellow Daoist, could it be that you want us to pledge allegiance to you?”

Regaining his composure, Zhuo Han Burial King took a deep breath, calmed himself, and spoke solemnly.

Though it was a question,

the tone was already quite certain.

Jiang Hui smiled noncommittally, “I appreciate this presumptuous attitude of yours. You are indeed clever, worthy of being the Sage of the Burial Domain. However, what you said isn’t entirely true.”

“Not entirely true?”

Zhuo Han Burial King was taken aback again and before he could speak, the figure before him continued, “What I want is for the entire Burial Domain to submit,

including you and those kings still in seclusion,

and even every living being that will be born in the Burial Domain hereafter.”

His voice rang clear, sounding almost divine, reverberating throughout the entire Burial Domain.

Every word seemed to carry an irresistible force and authority, boundless and overwhelming like surging tides.

Hearing this, Zhuo Han Burial King felt a storm rise in his heart.

He stared wide-eyed, disbelieving.

The entire Burial Domain submit? For eternity? How could that be?

It was utterly preposterous!

Though the kings of his domain were united, they were still divided into several major factions. Besides the group of Burial Kings that had come, there were others left guarding the Burial Domain, and some Burial Kings were still in seclusion.

The Burial Kings looked at each other, feeling a chill running through their bodies, and some even felt a sense of sorrow deep inside.

In the past, who would dare speak to them like this?

But now, someone dared not only to speak but did so without even looking them in the eye.

It seemed that there was never any intention to consult them.

“May I say, Sir, that you are being overly oppressive? Even though we come with sincerity, you shouldn’t be opening your mouth so wide like a lion!”

Zhuo Han Burial King trembled all over.

He had thought that their presence alone would be sufficient to haggle later, perhaps even finding another turning point, but he had not anticipated that the opponent’s appetite would be so great, wanting to swallow everything in one gulp.

“I do not think I am being aggressive like a lion. If anything, you should be thanking me,” Jiang Hui said expressionlessly, unmoved by the change in the opponent’s tone.

The group of Burial Priests, who lived by placing themselves in deadly situations, did not view death as their ultimate fate; what they truly valued was Burial Earth.

That was the foundation of the Burial Priest system.

“Thank? Are you joking?” Zhuo Han Burial King snorted coldly, laughing bitterly in anger. “As everyone knows, my realm stays away from all strife and conflict, not concerning ourselves with worldly karma, never waging war on others, hidden from the world. After so many years of peace, you come with a domineering attitude demanding our subjugation. Is this your so-called goodwill?”

“If this is considered goodwill, then I really do not know what bad intentions from you would look like?”

The other Burial Kings also looked towards Jiang Hui, fuming inwardly. If it weren’t for their lack of strength, they might have struck out already.

Burial Domain was their line in the sand; entangled in it, they wouldn’t mind a mutually destructive outcome.

“So as you say, it’s clearly impossible for you to agree to my demands?”

Jiang Hui smiled lightly, seemingly oblivious to the change in the Burial Kings’ expressions, speaking as if he did not care much about them, just like Zhuo Han Burial King had speculated.

“Although you are extraordinary, my Burial Domain is not a place to be easily slaughtered!

Between beings, entropy is everywhere. Our intention was to ally with you, to jointly face the upcoming calamity. But not only did you not appreciate this, but you also maligned us.

Though our strength is not equal to yours, we are still existences within the King’s Domain, and royal dignity is not to be humiliated, thus we came to Immortal Domain seeking redress.

It was wrong of us to act against the Holy Land, but there were reasons behind it.

With your supreme abilities, you should be able to deduce all this karma; why then do you still press so hard, giving no quarter?”

King Huo Heng Burial King’s voice carried a tone of sorrow.

At this point, they might truly only be left with one option–a fight to the death, doing all they can. But the figure before them, draped in a white robe, was overwhelmingly powerful, like an insurmountable peak, driving him to despair.

“An occurrence gives rise to recklessness? Royal dignity, huh? Hehehe… And you think about mutual destruction? Naive and laughable. Fish may die, but the net might not necessarily break!”

Jiang Hui chuckled and shook his head.

The next moment, an unimaginable momentum suddenly burst forth from him.

In an instant, it coalesced into a blazing and brilliant radiance that illuminated everything, causing epochs to tremble.

Within that brilliance, it contained endless majesty and power, capable of easily tearing apart the void, and shocking heaven and earth.

The sky roared, and the radiant brilliance sliced through ancient history, even seeming to overturn this universe.

Dao Golden Lotus blossomed into ripples visible to the naked eye sweeping in all directions. If not for Jiang Hui’s restraint, perhaps the entire cosmos would stand under the dazzling Emperor Radiance, turning heaven and earth into one hue.

“Emperor Radiance!”

“Could it be that I am blind? That is actually Emperor Radiance!”

The group of Burial Kings widened their eyes, filled with shock, their eyeballs almost bursting out.

They had never seen an Emperor.

Even the Elder Burial King Huo Heng, one of the oldest in the Burial Domain, had never seen one.

But as that astonishing brilliance erupted, the word “Emperor” involuntarily emerged in the minds of all the Burial Kings.

This was the Emperor, in the same realm as heaven and earth.

Wherever it passed, who would not know, who would not be aware?

Heavenly Dao would forcefully implant the revered name of the Emperor in your mind, wanting to know it or not.

Of course, this must be a true Emperor; a Quasi-Emperor may be recognized by heaven and earth, but that is only acknowledgement, not equating to the same status.

“This… you… it…”

Old Burial King opened his mouth wide, quickly swallowing back the words he wanted to say about everyone in Burial Domain preferring death to submission…
