The crowd had never seen anyone who could make Wenren Xi and Lin Junyao kneel on the ground.
There was only one person in this world.
That was the True Martial Emperor who had been in charge of the True Martial Emperor Palace for tens of thousands of years.
The three Martial Honorables were all highly respected figures who had been in charge of the True Martial Emperor Palace for thousands of years. They were all extremely talented and powerful individuals. Only the True Martial Emperor could make them feel such reverence.
Although Long Chen had seen the True Martial Emperor three times, he had never seen the True Martial Emperor's face.
Of course, at this moment, no one could clearly see the figure in the sky. It was as if he had suddenly appeared there without a sound. The first people to sense his presence were the three Martial Saints.
The power of the five elements circulated around his body. The radiance was like a ripple that covered his appearance, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly. He was tall, short, fat, and skinny. This ancient figure that had existed for tens of thousands of years hadn't shown himself for a long time. When he showed himself, no one knew who he was at first.
After all, he wasn't like an ordinary expert who couldn't suppress others with his aura the moment he appeared.
It was as if this ancient and dignified man didn't exist.
"Disciple Wenren Xi greets the Emperor Emperor."
"Disciple Lin Junyao greets the Emperor Emperor."
Emperor Emperor.
These two words were like a bomb exploding in everyone's ears. If it had been said by someone else, they might have thought it was a joke. However, it was said by two Martial Honorables …
In fact, almost everyone in the True Martial Emperor Palace had never seen the person in charge of the Martial God Palace. Many people even thought that they would never see the person in charge of the Martial God Palace in their lifetime.
The person in charge was like a towering ancient tree. Although he was aging, he still existed.
At this moment, Di Jun was like a meteorite in the sky, charging into their world forcefully, causing everyone's mind to go blank for a moment.
"Disciple Long Chen greets the Emperor Emperor."
Long Chen reacted very quickly. In fact, he was also very excited. He could finally see this old man that he respected a lot.
Long Chen's speed was not considered fast. Before he knelt down, many people had already knelt down along with the two Martial Venerables. Ye Futu's people were the slowest to kneel, because they clearly saw that Ye Futu had not said anything yet …
However, no matter what, when they saw the two Martial Saints kneel, most of the people were moved to see the most majestic existence in their hearts. They knelt down one after another. Soon, only Ye Futu, the Hall Master of Hanwu, and a few others were left.
Temple Master Hanwu's face was pale. After staring at Ye Futu for a while, he finally knelt on the ground and lowered his head.
Even Yang Chen knelt down in a daze. The only one left was Ye Futu.
The short and fat young man narrowed his eyes and looked at the colorful figure in the sky in a trance.
In the sky, the flowing light rotated, and the familiar voice of Zhenwu the Great Emperor came.
"Fu Tu, after seeing me today, can you give up?"
In the Imperial Palace, only the real Zhenwu the Great Emperor dared to call the Killing Martial Venerable.
Ye Futu knew better than anyone that this was definitely Zhenwu the Great Emperor.
All his efforts over the years were nothing more than a gamble. He gambled that Zhenwu the Great Emperor had disappeared. Even if he had disappeared, he would not be able to return. However, the figure in front of him really broke his heart.
Ye Futu's face was blank as he looked at Zhenwu the Great Emperor.
This was a legendary savior.
His glory had spread throughout the Zhenwu Imperial Domain. Even Ye Futu himself had grown up listening to the legends of Zhenwu the Great Emperor. He respected this legendary figure greatly, and hoped that he would be able to see him once in his life.
However, he had never had the chance to.
In fact, even Lin Junyao and Wenren Xi had never seen Zhenwu the Great Emperor's current appearance. At most, they had entered the world of the 99th floor and listened to the Emperor speak.
Up in the sky, Zhenwu the Great Emperor sighed and pressed his hand down. Ye Futu's face turned pale, and with a thud, he knelt on the ground. No matter how hard he tried to resist, he could not move.
As Ye Futu struggled, the entire Imperial Star trembled. Mountains collapsed and the ground cracked.
Long Chen's eyes were filled with shock. He had not expected Ye Futu to be so strong. He could definitely take his life easily. However, Zhenwu the Great Emperor had easily suppressed him. This was even more ridiculous.
Was this the top warrior of the Three Regions and Nine Realms?
"Don't waste your efforts."
Zhenwu the Great Emperor's hoarse voice extinguished all of Ye Futu's hopes.
He was dispirited and stopped struggling. He said in pain, "Emperor, I know I was wrong. I should not have doubted your existence. I should not have allowed the two of them to join forces to exclude me. But because of the bigger picture, they did not punish me."
Long Chen did not know if Ye Futu was sincere when he said these words, but perhaps Zhenwu the Great Emperor would understand.
Ye Futu changed very quickly. When he realized that his efforts were all a joke, he quickly chose to surrender.
"It's good that you admit your mistakes, but you will have to follow me for a while."
Hearing this, everyone became nervous and fell silent. The Hall Master of the Hanwu Temple and the others were warriors who had survived three Nirvana Tribulations. Even they trembled in fear and knelt on the ground like little partridges.
Zhenwu the Great Emperor waved his hand, and Ye Futu flew into the sky. In an instant, he was engulfed in a sea of flames and disappeared.
One of the three great Martial Venerables, a Martial Venerable who stood at the peak of all living beings, had been casually taken away by Zhenwu the Great Emperor and disappeared without a trace.
The Hall Master of the Hanwu Temple and the others were even more afraid of Ye Futu.
Ye Futu had been taken away, and they did not know where he was going or what would happen to him. If something really happened, they would probably be finished.
Moreover, they also remembered another terrifying thing.
Long Chen had once said that the person who made him the Holy Martial Emperor was not Wenren Xi, but Zhenwu the Great Emperor.
Because Ye Futu had questioned Zhenwu the Great Emperor's ability, they did not take it seriously. But now, Zhenwu the Great Emperor had displayed terrifying strength. In other words, their actions were simply going against Zhenwu the Great Emperor.
They were going against this legendary hero.
The Hall Master of the Hanwu Temple and the others broke out in a cold sweat, drenching their backs.
"Get up, all of you."
Zhenwu the Great Emperor ordered.
After subduing the rebellious Ye Futu, he must have other orders.
Everyone stood up, not daring to look up. The Hall Master of the Hanwu Temple and the others were trembling.
Because Ye Futu was a Martial Venerable, the pillar of the Imperial Palace, the Emperor might not take his life. But to the Imperial Palace, they were dispensable. If the Emperor wanted to kill them …
Thinking of this, all the participants were scared half to death.
But they had thought too highly of themselves.
Zhenwu the Great Emperor did not care about them at all. His gentle gaze finally landed on Long Chen, and he announced in front of everyone, "This time, I have been watching the entire selection of the Holy Martial Emperor. I already have a candidate in mind. This person, with his potential, talent, personality, responsibility, and perseverance, is already qualified to be the Holy Martial Emperor. In the future, he can also succeed me and become the new Zhenwu Emperor."
Thinking about how Long Chen had been summoned by Zhenwu the Great Emperor several times, everyone had a rough idea of the result.
Therefore, everyone looked at Long Chen with envy.
As for Yang Chen, he had already given up.
Zhenwu Great Emperor continued, "I've dedicated my entire life to the Imperial Palace. If I ask myself honestly, I've done a good job. My successor must have a righteous cause that I can trust. I think Long Chen will be a suitable choice. Does anyone have any other opinions?"
It was indeed Long Chen.
In fact, the tens of thousands of people present were sincerely convinced by this rising young man, Long Chen.
In the beginning, everyone thought that he wasn't a match for the young Martial God. But now, Long Chen had surpassed the young Martial God both in terms of battle prowess and wisdom. Furthermore, he was highly regarded by the Imperial Emperor and the Imperial Emperor personally appeared to speak for him.
Hall Master Hanwu and the others were almost scared to death, how could they have any objections?
For a moment, there was complete silence.
Zhenwu the Great Emperor was very satisfied, and finally said, "I am full of confidence and hope for my decision, and you will see it in the future. In ten days, Mount Monarch will hold the Holy Martial Emperor's coronation ceremony. At that time, all the disciples of the True Martial Emperor Palace will gather at Mount Monarch, and I will personally crown you."
Having said that, Zhenwu the Great Emperor turned into a five-colored light, scattered, and disappeared from the sky.
The ninety-nine Golden Demon Suppression Columns shone as brightly as ever.
This huge change left many people in a state of shock, and they were far from being able to react until the Holy Martial Emperor disappeared.
"Personally … crown …"
This meant that Zhenwu the Great Emperor would appear again, and in front of hundreds of millions of disciples.
It had been tens of thousands of years since the True Martial Emperor Palace had seen such a grand occasion.
It was like a blazing fire, igniting everyone's heart.
Long Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Zhenwu the Great Emperor finally appeared, and this matter was finally settled.
For tens of thousands of years, the other Holy Martial Emperors had basically crowned themselves, and not at Mount Monarch. But Long Chen was highly regarded by Zhenwu the Great Emperor, and he even personally crowned him in front of hundreds of millions of disciples.
Long Chen remembered when he had just entered the True Martial Emperor Palace.
It had only been a few years.
Back then, he was just a martial artist who had just reached the Divine Martial Realm, and he couldn't even deal with Jiang Qing. In the blink of an eye, he climbed to the peak of the True Martial Emperor Palace, and became the number one person below Zhenwu the Great Emperor.
From now on, he would be another legend of the True Martial Emperor Palace.
