Chapter 1222: 1222

If the Wizard Emperor had not been so angry, he would have burst out laughing too . Without speaking, he threw the spear over again . This time no one would help ward it off . The spear flew toward Jiang Chen instantly, without giving him any time to react . Jiang Chen did not have the time to do anything . Then, when he was about to be shot, a tower suddenly rose before him . The tower was about 30 feet high . Around it a black fog tumbled, and purple lightning flashed all through it .

The spear hit the tower without expending the power that people had been expecting . After a solid muffled sound, the spear was sent flying . It even cracked . Its thick light became much dimmer . By comparison, the tower was in perfect condition and was still accumulating energy .

“What’s that?”

Taking a closer look at it, people found it was a guillotine, on the top of which hung a sharp blade! Next to the blade, complicated and mysterious runes were carved on the black iron . When the tower had accumulated enough energy, the disturbance it created had reached a dreadful height .

Even the Wizard Emperor, who had not taken it seriously at first, was a bit shocked . However, he still despised it, because it belonged to a Star Venerable . The more powerful a legendary weapon was, the more energy it would consume . The power of the Earth-breaking Heavenly Spear depended on every individual’s fighting power .

This tower might be very good at defense, but to kill him, Jiang Chen was still too weak to do that . However, he made the mistake that most people would make, which was looking down on Jiang Chen . Most of the people who had made this mistake had died .

Jiang Chen raised both his arms . The tower kept rising, as if it was Jiang Chen who was raising it . The tower was the Devil Slaughter Tower in the Heavenly Palace, which worked in concert with the Tower of the God of Longevity . Jiang Chen had finally gone through the Cloud Reaching Hall in the Heavenly Palace . He had meant to rescue his father with the Tower of the God of Longevity, but the current situation obliged him to make some adjustments to his plan . The Devil Slaughter Tower stopped rising overhead . The tumbling fog had turned to Ko clouds . Thunder was roaring . The black blade was extremely aggressive . It locked onto the Wizard Emperor’s energy .

“You are just making a mystery out of things . ” Standing with hands behind his back, the Wizard Emperor lifted his head arrogantly . He would like to see what was so great about it .

“Strike!” Jiang Chen was giving off a luster . He looked like he was making more effort than when he was exerting a unique movement . In the end, he exerted the force successfully . Lightning flashed and thunder roared over the Devil Slaughter Tower . The black blade crashed down .

Pah!

The blade fell to the bottom . The whole disturbance ended . Standing not far away from it, the Wizard Emperor was not affected at all .

After all is said and done, more is said than done . That was how people felt about it . However, something terrifying happened then . They noticed the Wizard Emperor’s face was kind of stiff . The same facial expression stayed on his face . Deep in his eyes, fear was gradually showing up . Almost at the same time, a thin wound appeared on his neck . His head was falling . His head and his body were separated, as if he was a vicious criminal who had been executed . It was rather terrifying, because there was not even blood oozing from the wound . A mysterious Alien Flame burned the dead body up . It was smelted into some energy of the universe . Like just before, Jiang Chen swallowed it down .

Then some roaring sounds came from Jiang Chen’s body . The essence of a Wizard Emperor was enough to make a Star Venerable’s body explode . People could see Jiang Chen’s body bloating, but fortunately, it went back to normal before exploding, thanks to Jiang Chen’s strong divine body .

The whole place became so quiet, because no one knew what to say . Everyone opened their eyes wide .

The Wizard Emperor, a Martial Arts Saint, just died this way?!

“Seriously?”

Many people rubbed their eyes, thinking they had seen it wrong . It was insane . The Devil Slaughter Tower had never approached the Wizard Emperor . It simply locked onto his energy .

“Is this an immortal weapon?!”

The arrogance of the strongmen protecting the geniuses in the dark was all gone . They could not be too careful, because the Devil Slaughter Tower did not disappear after the killing . It was still floating in the air . The fallen black blade arose slowly again to reach the top . The fog started to tumble .

Except that the Wizard Emperor had disappeared from the world, nothing seemed to have happened .

“Anyone who shows no respect to Wizard warriors will end up dying tragically . ”

However, Jiang Chen threw the dumbfounded Wizards there a glance . He said coldly, “And you, you’ve shown no respect to the human divine body . Your crime is unforgivable . ” As soon as he finished speaking, the vines entangling the Wizard warriors made an effort and dragged the ten-odd Martial Emperors and Half-Saints into the depths of the divine tree . All people could hear were some tragic screams .

Soon, it started raining blood .

Seeing this, all the other Wizards turned pale .

“Does Jiang Chen own the Divine Tree of Creatures now?”

“The Wizard Race has been greatly weakened . So many of their warriors died for nothing . ”

“This Jiang Chen is really a jinx! Whoever offends him won’t have any good ending . ”

The blood rain woke those people up . The other Wizards really felt lucky that Jiang Chen did not kill all of them . He did not even throw them another glance . Looking toward those Ancients, he said, “You can bring it on together if you don’t admit your defeat . ”

Bring it on together?

The arrogant Ancients were struck dumb . They flew into a rage when they had realized what Jiang Chen meant . Jiang Chen was going to challenge all of the Ancient geniuses at the same time . His undisguised scorn really irritated them . However, their anger was soon extinguished by helplessness . Jiang Chen’s fighting power was now several times stronger than when he had killed Ji Yuan . Even if all of the races fought together, they would not be a match for him . Not to mention the Ancient Race alone .

“He is the strongest among all races!”

“The human divine body has gotten mature!”

“Poor thing . You’re so weak . ”

Seeing no Ancient had the nerve to come forward, Jiang Chen mocked them cruelly . Then he looked toward the Human Race . His look made all of the human youngsters nervous . Under his gaze, they threw their shoulders out .

“I, Jiang Chen, announce the founding of the Heavenly Palace here today . The Divine Prison Continent will be its spiritual land . The Divine Tree of Creatures will be its heavenly gate . I don’t need the recognition of the three academies . Neither do I belong to any camp . Whoever is unhappy with me can challenge me!” He said everything clearly and firmly . He knew what he was saying . He was provoking the whole Realm of Heaven Martial Arts! The three academies had been in a domineering position for 100 years . They certainly would not allow Jiang Chen to do whatever he wanted .

Boom!

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, people heard noises coming from under the ground . The Divine Tree of Creatures was transforming . It was taking up more and more space .

“What’s going on?!”

“It’s the divine tree . It’s transforming . The divine tree is going to occupy the whole Divine Prison Continent!”

If overlooking the land from the outside, people would see the Divine Tree of Creatures expanding continuously . Wherever it passed, fierce animals, no matter how ferocious they were, would be obliged to escape . After such a change, the interior of the Divine Tree of Creatures became extremely spacious .

The Heavenly Palace was officially established this day .

The guests of this day’s banquet left the Divine Tree of Creatures and made their way home in many different directions . They all looked quite stern . Especially the Wizard Race—they were all disheartened, with a blank look on their faces . They had put a lot of time and effort into holding the banquet . However, everything they had done turned out to be in vain . It was someone else who benefited from all of their efforts .
