Chapter 316 316: Announcement!
The girls were shocked to their cores when they saw the…otherworldly and terrifying features.
When asked what their strength was…they simply said, " Enough."
Yes, aside from a few, they were officially the strongest in the Immortal Jade Empire. Now, a common, unspoken question arose among themselves. Why just the six of them and not the rest? For example, Silveria was the most qualified, even more than Lucy, not to mention Yueshan.
There was a reason for that…a reason only Rahu knew. Since he didn't bring up that topic, naturally, they couldn't just pester him.
Also, there was this thing about the external threats. So, in times like these, it was better to do something productive instead of complaining.
…
The following day, an announcement was made that shook the entire Immortal Jade Empire. Their Supreme Emperor had announced something…or more like gave out an order.
Conveyed through his consorts and servants, all men and women above the age of 18 and below 400 were given an opportunity to participate in the massive tournament that was being held at the capital.
This news spread like wildfire, shocking thousands and thousands of cultivators.
After the abolishment of the Ancient Houses, Rahu hadn't established anything official yet. But…everyone knew it was the Empress and the Divine Consorts who held the most authority in the Immortal Jade Empire.
As soon as the words spread, the cultivators became incredibly excited…and nervous.
Although the specifics and the rewards weren't announced, the mere mention of the Emperor sent waves in the entire world.
Aside from the Divine Consorts, there were also a select few cultivators who were chosen to look over the process of filtering.
Yes, filtering. There was no way the Emperor's grounds would be stained with trash and incompetent ones. He had made this clear.
So, every region was conducting mini-tournaments to decide the top. After the eradication of the Houses, Rahu hadn't even divided the territories. But Yveline had known the chaos beforehand, so before going into seclusion, she made some rules and executed them perfectly.
The entire Immortal Jade Empire was considered one entire continent. As such, the previous Holy Sun Empire fell in the center of the two worlds, making the entire territory the capital of the Immortal Jade Empire. The rest were divided typically, with north, south, east, and west. Only the central capital was overlooked by the Divine Consorts; the other four were managed by Rahu's new slaves.
Through them, the Holy Consorts controlled the entire continent. At first, it was a mess. Rahu didn't even bother to come up with plans. It was through Yveline that the chaos was somehow culled down.
For a month straight, she had slaughtered countless rebels and traitors of the Empire, cleansing it entirely. Only then did she go into seclusion.
…
In the royal capital.
"M-My lord…I c-can't~!"
Stella moaned for the nth time in his arms. She had come God knows how many times. Rahu had been teasing her for the past hour…and he didn't seem to be bored in the slightest. Hearing his words, Rahu smirked.
"Go, you can come to my chamber later at night."
Saying that, Rahu dismissed her. Stella hurriedly bowed and left, afraid that she would once again be made to cum.
Rahu leaned back on his throne with one of his legs on the armrest, a bottle of liquor in his hand.
The space beside him cracked, and Ketu materialized. This time, instead of the usual one head he maintained, nine more heads with closed eyes popped up on his side, making him look straight out of a nightmare. Looking at Rahu, he sighed.
"Master, your suspicions were true. There was indeed a spatial breach in the far north of this puny plane."
Ketu spoke, his voice hard. Looking at his master, he suddenly smiled. Despite just a few words, his master had understood him.
And despite the gravity of the situation, there wasn't a single twitch in his expression.
"Hmm, I see. They arrived earlier than I expected. Now, if left unchecked, I'm sure in a mere few years they might have already conquered a few thousand realms. And that is an optimistic estimate."
Rahu muttered. He had indeed felt the spatial breach a few days ago. Being the curious man he was, he had indeed peered into this, and due to them being so pompous about their arrival, it didn't take long for him to figure out their location.
"Master, are you planning to involve yourself? If yes, please don't bother yourself with this skirmish! I, your servant, shall bring their heads to your feet!"
Ketu spoke hurriedly, as if he were afraid his master would stop being lazy. Hearing this, the corner of his mouth twitched, but he controlled himself.
"Ketu, it is indeed you who will be there in my stead. But instead of me, my women shall be the ones to lead this fight."
Rahu smiled. This was the sole purpose he hadn't outright annihilated them. After all, despite experiencing countless battles and wars, his women were capable and competent. But he wanted to take a step further and enhance their battle experience.
He had the grand vision of letting his Divine Consorts conquer the realms of the Celestial Expanse while he sat back, enjoying the warmth of the flesh.
Yes, the deepest level of shittiness a person could have. But…it was his will. And whatever he wanted, not even the gods could stop it.
Speaking of gods, Rahu suddenly frowned. "How the heck did Aghal's forces bypass the guardian will of the Mortal Plane? Don't tell me they destroyed it?"
He paused, then shook his head. "That's not possible. If it were the case, the Mortal Plane would have been conquered long ago."
Ketu stood silent at Rahu's side, not daring to interrupt his master. After all, unlike those loud mouthed mistresses of his master, he was a good boy!
"Alright, I'll handle this. For now, go and help your mistresses. They will need your help, and don't let them take too much of a burden."
Rahu waved his hand and dismissed Ketu, sitting on his throne. His smile widened as his purple eyes reflected ashen-grey skinned giant beings.
