That domineering aura that looked down on the world seemed as if it would crush everything to dust.

"A mere废帝, how could he ever contend with me? It’s nothing but the ravings of a fool!"

He let out a cold snort, killing intent icy in his eyes.

Alina and Richard exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with absolute reverence.

The Master was so young, yet already possessed talent unseen in ages, inspiring deep admiration.

"My lord is wise! Such a lowborn wretch was never worthy of being His Majesty!"

Richard’s battle spirit blazed; he all but wished to tear the former emperor into eight pieces.

Zhang Beixing smiled faintly at these words, as if victory were already in his grasp.

"My beloved ministers, hear My words."

"From this day forth, this Great Zhou realm shall be under My control!"

"If anyone dares defy My will..."

His tone suddenly sank, a fearsome might surging from his body.

"They shall be killed without mercy!"

Hearing this, the entire civil and military court shivered.

This new sovereign truly wielded Thunderbolt methods; he was not to be underestimated.

It seemed that from now on, no one would dare oppose his wishes.

They bowed one after another, pledging themselves as vassals.

"The Master is sagely and wise! With what virtue and ability do we deserve to serve by Your side?"

"We can only bend our backs in loyal toil, unto death and beyond!"

Amid a roar like mountains and seas, the ministers knelt and kowtowed again and again.

Terrified that the slightest misstep would see their heads roll.

And then the Persuasion System slowly strode forth.

Hands clasped behind his back, his depth unfathomable.

"For Zhang’er to possess such grandeur is truly no easy thing."

"But the matter of ascension to the throne still needs careful planning."

He spoke earnestly, each word a polished gem.

"After all, in this vast world there are many forces eyeing you like hungry tigers."

"With the slightest carelessness, disaster that wipes you out may descend."

Hearing this, Zhang Beixing’s brows furrowed as he pondered in silence.

Though he was the new sovereign, his foundations were, after all, not yet stable.

If he acted rashly, he would inevitably make too many enemies.

"So long as it concerns the fate of the realm, Beixing is willing to go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Alina and Richard, hearing this, were likewise stirred to the core.

"My lord’s words truly swallow mountains and rivers, bearing the world in Your chest!"

"We shall exhaust all our strength to help my lord forge his hegemonic empire!"

The two exchanged a glance, itching to leap into action.

Life and death, glory and disgrace, all hung on a single thought of their lord.

"Good!"

Zhang Beixing nodded heavily, eyes resolute.

"Since that’s the case, let us swiftly make our deployments and meet the new challenges."

He clasped his hands behind his back and gazed into the distance, boundless heroism surging in his chest.

This battle was destined to shake heaven and earth and leave his name in history!

Before his voice had even fallen, a rush of hurried footsteps suddenly rang out.

"Reporting to my lord! A terrible matter!"

The messenger was so panicked he nearly fell flat on his face.

His tone was fearful, as if some great catastrophe had struck.

"What has you so flustered?"

Zhang Beixing spoke coldly, his expression displeased.

As the new sovereign, how could he allow himself to be easily shaken?

"Reporting... outside... outside..."

The messenger’s lips trembled; he almost couldn’t form a complete sentence.

"The Holy See... people from the Holy See have already fought their way to just outside the city!"

At those words, the entire court erupted.

Everyone’s faces changed as they began to argue in alarm.

That was the famed Supernatural Forces, after all.

Cultivation towering to the heavens, methods overwhelmingly strong.

How could a mere Great Zhou possibly withstand them?

"They’ve come at the perfect time!"

Yet Zhang Beixing only let out a string of cold laughs.

The battle intent in his eyes burned fiercely.

"I want to see exactly what Divine Skills these people of the Holy See possess!"

"If they dare make me their enemy, they can’t blame me for showing no mercy!"

With that, he swept his sleeve.

In an instant, he turned into a streak of golden light and shot into the clouds.

"Alina, Richard, come with me!"

His dominance overflowed, disdainful of the world.

Ruling heaven and earth, with only himself exalted!

Seeing this, the Persuasion System also smiled knowingly.

As though everything was already within his expectations.

"With such awareness, one can indeed accomplish a feat unseen in ages."

"As your teacher, I shall calmly watch events unfold and say no more."

With that, he too faded from sight.

Leaving the civil and military officials staring at one another.

None knew where this storm of blood would spread.

Outside the city, war drums thundered.

Thousands of troops and horses formed a black mass.

At their head stood a man clad in a White Robe and holding a Scepter.

It was the supreme leader of the Holy See, Michael!

"Zhang Beixing, you have committed monstrous crimes, defying all order!"

Golden light encircled his body, his aura surging to the sky.

"Today I shall act on Heaven’s behalf and execute you, traitor!"

"Is that so?"

Zhang Beixing let out a cold laugh, utterly unimpressed.

"With just those little tricks of yours, you think you can kill me?"

"You truly don’t know the height of the heavens; you’re courting humiliation!"

He suddenly raised his hand, five fingers hooked like claws.

In the next instant, the heavens collapsed and the earth split.

Ten thousand beams of golden light burst forth in a flash!

"Th-this is impossible?!!"

Michael’s pupils shrank; his face turned ashen like death.

He was one anointed by Heaven, his cultivation at its peak.

Yet he had never imagined that he would be completely suppressed, unable to move, by a junior!

He, the dignified Angel King, how could he yield so easily?

"A mere ant dares show off its petty tricks before me?"

Zhang Beixing snorted in disdain, standing with hands clasped behind his back.

The laws of heaven and earth revolved around him, making all who saw tremble.

"I was born a king, destined to rule the world and gaze down upon all living things!"

"You so-called immortals and Demons will, in the end, never escape the palm of my hand!"

"Today I’ll show you the price of offending me!"

Boom!

A world-shocking roar exploded all at once.

With Zhang Beixing’s sharp shout, countless Thunderbolts fell from the sky.

Like the end of days descending, as if heaven and earth themselves were about to be annihilated.

Michael screamed again and again, his entire body charred black.

He was blasted to pieces, torn limb from limb.

From then on, this so-called undying, imperishable Angel met his end.

"My lord is mighty! Unrivaled under heaven!"

Richard and Alina watched with blood boiling, excitement beyond words.

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would hardly have believed it.

The Master was actually this powerful—able to command the world with just a casual gesture.

Zhang Beixing swept his gaze around, towering high above.

Wherever his eyes fell, all were compelled to submit.
