Immortal God of War-Chapter 760 - 725: Challenge the Emperor!_1

"It’s quite a coincidence."

"But this also proves that your meeting was destined by Heaven."

"And Tian Er, if he were still alive now, he would be twenty-four, wouldn’t he?" the beautiful woman said with a laugh.

Qin Feiyang felt a lump in his throat and chuckled, "I never thought Auntie would remember so well."

But at this point, Qin Zhong sighed, "It’s not because our Mistress has an excellent memory."

"Then why?" Qin Feiyang asked.

"Since the Prince left, our Mistress has celebrated his birthday every year."

"Although the Prince wasn’t present at every celebration, and our Mistress celebrated alone, she has never once forgotten," Qin Yi sighed.

Hearing these words, the tears Qin Feiyang had been holding back finally broke free and streamed down his cheeks.

The beautiful woman frowned. "Qin Yi, say no more."

"Why shouldn’t I?" Qin Yi’s voice rose with emotion. "My lady, Qin Zhong and I are with you every day—who knows you better than us? For over a decade, you have been missing the Prince day and night. You constantly blame yourself for not protecting him. You hope so desperately to see him, to have him return to your side one day. You even painstakingly preserved every plant and stone, every brick and tile in Bright Sky Palace, maintaining it exactly as it was when the Prince left, just so he wouldn’t feel estranged upon his return.

"We’ve seen all your sacrifices! But in the end, all you received was the news of the Prince’s death. How could you not be devastated? My lady, it’s not just you; every mother in this world wishes to live with her child forever. There’s no need to bottle up your feelings; it will only make the pain worse!"

Both Qin Yi and Qin Zhong were overcome with grief and indignation, Qin Yi growing more agitated as he spoke.

Hearing their words, Qin Feiyang scanned his surroundings in Bright Sky Palace, a profound pain searing his heart.

Initially, he wondered. Why, after so many years, has nothing here changed at all?

Only now did he understand; it was all his mother’s meticulous care, all in anticipation of his return.

It seemed like a simple matter, but in reality, it was exceedingly difficult.

This was because, while people can change, flowers, grass, and trees grow or wither every day.

To prevent them from changing is an arduous task, yet his mother had managed it.

This is a mother’s love for her child. A love that is selfless, given quietly without expecting anything in return.

Suddenly, he made a decision.

THUD. He knelt before the beautiful woman, tears streaming down his face.

"Moth—"

But just as he opened his mouth, ready to reveal his identity, the beautiful woman covered it with her hand and said with a smile, "Don’t say anything. Carry Tian Er’s will and live on well."

Qin Feiyang’s gaze trembled. He understood.

His mother had actually recognized him long ago but had kept that love hidden deep within her heart.

That made sense. The bond between mother and child, forged over ten months of pregnancy, is profound. He might deceive others, but how could he ever deceive the mother who bore and raised him?

Besides, Uncle Yuan was sent by his mother to protect him. Having been missing for so long, Uncle Yuan might have already told his mother his current name.

But he still didn’t understand. Why, if his mother recognized him, didn’t she say so? Did she have some concern?

At this moment, the beautiful woman rose and helped Qin Feiyang to his feet, smiling. "Go. Do what you want to do. Don’t have any reservations."

He desperately wanted to say, I don’t want to leave; I want to stay with you, but it felt as though something were caught in his throat, and he couldn’t speak.

"Before you leave, I’ll give you one more piece of advice, something I often told Tian Er," the beautiful woman said. "The world is vast; you cannot just look at one place."

"Yes," Qin Feiyang nodded emphatically.

The beautiful woman waved her hand and smiled. "Go on then!"

"Auntie, I’ll take my leave." Qin Feiyang bowed deeply, then resolutely turned and opened a portal.

BOOM!

Just then, a vast wave of imperial might descended from the sky, and the portal beside Qin Feiyang shattered with a crack.

"Hm?" Qin Feiyang immediately looked up, a bone-chilling light glinting in his eyes.

High in the sky stood a middle-aged man. He wore a Dragon Crown and Dragon Robes, radiating an immense aura. His seven-foot frame seemed like an insurmountable peak, and the invisible pressure emanating from him made it difficult to breathe.

"We pay our respects to His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Greetings, Father Emperor!"

Instantly, everyone present knelt, their expressions filled with utmost reverence.

However, the Emperor ignored them, his gaze fixed directly on Qin Feiyang.

Simultaneously, the beautiful woman’s expression changed. She shielded Qin Feiyang behind her and urged in a low voice, "Quick, go!"

Looking at his mother’s slender back, Qin Feiyang felt a pang in his heart. He gently pushed her aside and smiled. "Auntie, I once promised the Fourteenth Prince that I would not let you come to harm again."

"You..." The beautiful woman was somewhat angry, but seeing the smile on Qin Feiyang’s face, she couldn’t help but smile as well.

SWISH!

Qin Feiyang took a step forward, grabbed the Eldest Prince, and soared ninety thousand li into the air, landing opposite the Emperor.

This scene made countless jaws drop.

It had to be known that the Emperor was the supreme being; no one could stand on equal footing with him. Qin Feiyang’s current actions were undoubtedly a provocation against the Emperor’s authority.

The moment their eyes met, invisible sparks seemed to fly in the void. The atmosphere instantly froze.

Qin Feiyang’s lips curved into a smirk. "You’re quite displeased that I didn’t bow to you, aren’t you?"

The Emperor said coldly, "Let him go."

"Who? Him?" Qin Feiyang dangled the Eldest Prince before the Emperor’s eyes.

The Emperor said, "Let him go, and I’ll leave your corpse intact."

"Still want to kill me?" Qin Feiyang was stunned for a moment, then a monstrous rage erupted from him with a ROAR. "I wasn’t planning to kill him, but since you put it that way, I might as well finish him off."

Qin Feiyang grinned, his fingers tightening abruptly. With a pained, horrific scream, the Eldest Prince’s neck snapped, and blood splattered across the sky!

"This..."

The people below were astounded, including Qin Feiyang’s mother, Qin Zhong, and Qin Yi.

He’s not only challenging the Emperor’s authority but also killed the current Crown Prince right in front of him! Has this man borrowed his courage from the heavens themselves?

"Yellow-haired brat, give me back my son’s life!" Suddenly, an enraged roar echoed.

A noblewoman wearing a phoenix crown and phoenix robes flew into the sky, lunging towards Qin Feiyang like a madwoman.

Qin Feiyang looked down, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. This woman was the Eldest Prince’s mother. He was familiar with her. Her strength was mediocre, not even half that of his own mother’s, but she was extremely malicious. Most of the Eldest Prince’s schemes against him in his childhood were instigated by her.

"Stand down!" The Emperor’s brow twitched, his expression impassive.

The woman cried angrily, "Your Majesty—"

"Stand down!" the Emperor commanded again.

The woman flinched, realizing the Emperor was truly angered, and stopped. However, her eyes remained filled with venomous hatred.

WHOOSH!

Just then, two more figures materialized. They were none other than the Hall Master of the Elixir Palace and Zhuge Mingyang.

Upon seeing the Eldest Prince’s body, Zhuge Mingyang’s expression changed drastically, and a hint of ruthlessness crept into his eyes.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." The two bowed to the Emperor.

The Emperor nodded.

Then, Zhuge Mingyang turned to Qin Feiyang. "I told you, if you dared to harm the Prince, I would not spare you!"

Qin Feiyang said casually, "I don’t have the energy to deal with you right now. Get out of my way."

Zhuge Mingyang turned back to the Emperor and bowed. "Your Majesty, I request a battle with Qin Feiyang."

"A mighty Nine-Star War Ancestor challenging me, a Two-Star War Ancestor. How interesting," Qin Feiyang sneered.

Zhuge Mingyang shot a cold glance at Qin Feiyang. "I beseech Your Majesty’s permission."

The Emperor remained silent.

Meanwhile, the Hall Master of the Elixir Palace also spoke, "Qin Feiyang, did you steal the Dan fire from the first floor of the Elixir Palace?"

"Yes," Qin Feiyang nodded.

"Why?"

"First, you steal Dan fire, then you come to the Imperial Palace to cause trouble. What exactly are you trying to do?" the Hall Master of the Elixir Palace demanded angrily.

"What am I trying to do?" Qin Feiyang muttered, then suddenly looked at the Emperor and shouted, "I want to ask why you treated the Fourteenth Prince the way you did back then! What wrong had he done?"

The Emperor stated, "I am the sovereign supreme being. I need not explain my actions to anyone."

"Yes, you are the supreme being." Qin Feiyang smirked derisively. "But you couldn’t even save your own son. Don’t you think you, as the supreme being, are somewhat laughable?" He casually tossed the Eldest Prince’s body towards the Emperor.

The Emperor glanced at the Eldest Prince’s corpse, his face still devoid of expression. With his hands clasped behind his back, he made no move to catch it.

Ultimately, it was Zhuge Mingyang who stepped forward and caught the Eldest Prince’s body.

After Zhuge Mingyang handed the body to the Eldest Prince’s mother, he once again faced the Emperor, kneeling in the void. "Your Majesty, Qin Feiyang murdered the Crown Prince. His crime warrants death. Please grant me permission to execute him."

Qin Feiyang said suspiciously, "I’m just wondering, how did you, the former top prodigy of the Imperial Capital, become so loyal?"

"Shut up!" Zhuge Mingyang barked.

Qin Feiyang said calmly, "It seems you’re quite suited to being a loyal dog."

"You..." Zhuge Mingyang was enraged.

Qin Feiyang said indifferently, "I have no interest in you. Don’t go looking for trouble. My esteemed Emperor, Your Majesty, how about we have a fair duel?"

"What?"

"He’s actually challenging the Emperor?"

"It seems we’ve all severely underestimated this boy’s audacity!"

The crowd below erupted, every person’s eyes wide with disbelief.
