Chapter 1272: Chapter 1048: Collapse of the Northern Continent
Su Yuan used the Qingming Imprint to teleport back to the Yan Court and immediately met with Fang Qingxiao to explain the situation.
Fang Qingxiao listened with a solemn expression, and immediately sent a message to the Red Emperor Tower.
Not long after, the two received a summons from the Red Emperor to gather at the Four Symbols Hall!
Yan Court, Four Symbols Hall.
The Red Emperor was already seated at the main seat, still in a wide black plain robe.
"Red Emperor." Su Yuan followed Fang Qingxiao, bowed, and saluted.
The Red Emperor nodded slightly, waved a hand to indicate the two to wait on the side, his expression stern as usual, revealing no joy or anger.
After a short while, Ling Xiao, Yu Wenwuji, and Pang Heng also arrived at the hall one after another.
Besides, beside Yu Wenwuji, there was a slender-faced male in a black robe adorned with many skull bead chains.
After everyone entered, they stood on both sides below.
The Red Emperor looked at Su Yuan and Fang Qingxiao: "Bring out the corpse."
Su Yuan stepped forward two steps and waved his hand to lay down the corpse of a middle-aged man between several Imperial Thrones.
"A person from the Northern Continent?"
Yu Wen, Pang Heng, and the others were summoned by the Red Emperor, and didn’t originally know what was going on.
But when they saw the corpse of the middle-aged man on the ground, their expressions froze as if they had thought of something.
Su Yuan said: "Red Emperor, everyone, this is a North Continent King Level I discovered earlier on a small island off the coast of the Western Desert.
At that time he was already severely injured and dying, his origin annihilated. After I awakened him, he only mentioned that there seemed to be great changes in the Northern Continent..."
Su Yuan briefly explained the previous events to everyone present.
After listening, several Imperial Thrones all showed thoughtful expressions.
After a while, Fang Qingxiao spoke: "Gu Xunyou, take a look."
"Yes."
The black-robed male beside Yu Wenwuji immediately stepped forward to the corpse, nodded at Su Yuan, then raised his hand to seal and press a palm on the corpse.
Green brilliance surged, an inexplicable and mysterious wave radiated from the black-robed man’s palm, and a faint glow flickered incessantly in his eyes, as if reflecting countless fragmented shadows.
"White Tiger Imperial’s Soul Pursuit, Gu Xunyou."
Su Yuan stepped back two steps, carefully observing the man performing the magic up close.
Ever since ascending to the King Level, Su Yuan’s privileges increased, leading him to know more about the Royal Envoys within the department.
Gu Xunyou is a Sixth Stage King Level adept at Soul Law under White Tiger Imperial.
However, the North Continent person has been dead for some time now, and the soul is not here; can anything still be obtained from this situation?
After a full incense stick of time passed, Gu Xunyou finally stopped.
He closed his eyes, settled for a moment, and then said in a deep voice:
"According to the memory fragments on the corpse, the Northern Continent... has likely collapsed!"
Collapsed?
All the Imperial Thrones showed signs of shock, and then their expressions sank to the extreme.
Gu Xunyou said: "The Grey Realm suddenly arrived, used a Divine Artifact to bind the Northern Continent, and, in union with the resurgence of the Star Beast, overturned the whole continent in one move!"
Gu Xunyou slowly explained what happened in the Northern Continent to the people present.
It turned out that the Grey Realm had not been inactive, but its actions were not towards the East Continent!
The Grey Realm had more than one Imperial Court, and the one that first arrived at the Blue Sea Star, near the East Continent, was the Heavenly Imperial Court.
The Heavenly Imperial Court had the function of breeding Divine Trees, it was not a main battle Imperial Court, and was more akin to a logistics arsenal.
This point had already been known by Great Flame through captured Gray Realm Demon Beasts.
The reason the Grey Realm had been so silent was, first, waiting for the world’s barriers to draw closer, and second, waiting for other Imperial Courts already in a campaign against other worlds!
The other Imperial Courts were already engaged in a campaign in another world before, when they unexpectedly discovered the Blue Sea Star, they let the logistics Heavenly Imperial Court come first for reconnaissance.
So the Heavenly Imperial Court had no movement all this time, only quietly gathering intelligence.
In years past, the other Imperial Courts had accelerated their progress without much closure and hurriedly finished the battle to come to the Blue Sea Star.
Because... this is an unprecedented Big World!
Amidst the struggle over Dragon Veins and the resurgence of Demon Beasts, the Northern Continent was already extremely chaotic.
When the Grey Realm Imperial Court arrived, they immediately used the Sky Splitting Imperial Court’s Divine Artifact to constrain and wage war on the Northern Continent!
Right away, it was a war of overthrow.
In less than ten years, the eight major tribes disintegrated, death followed by surrender, escape ensued, countless lives perished, and the whole Northern Continent was in ruins of life!
After hearing this, everyone’s expressions grew even more grave.
A continent, could it really have perished just like that?
Pang Heng asked: "What about the Emperor Level experts of the eight tribes?"
Gu Xunyou was silent for a moment, then solemnly said: "One fell, one was imprisoned, two defected, and the rest shattered the Void to escape to the outer regions, whereabouts unknown."
"Hiss..."
Upon hearing this, everyone took a sharp intake of breath.
Even Emperor Levels had fallen!
To raid the Blue Sea, crush Emperor Levels, and occupy the Northern Continent...
This Grey Realm truly lives up to being a force that has invaded countless worlds; such movements are truly shocking!
"Using the Northern Continent as a foundation, establish a foothold, and then look towards the entire Blue Sea Star..."
The Red Emperor slowly stood up, walked among the crowd from the upper seat, and the temperature around seemed to elevate at an amazing speed, a terrifying ripple that made people’s scalps tingle emanated from the Red Emperor!
Su Yuan only felt parched, as if about to melt, yet there wasn’t a single injury on him.
"It’s been too quiet for too long, I nearly forgot what fighting feels like..."
The Red Emperor’s eyes surged with fervor, killing intent rose and fell, sweeping his sharp gaze over the people below.
"Azure Dragon and White Tiger, investigate the Northern Continent’s situation in depth;
