Chapter 1300 - 521: Standing Alone at the Mighty Pass (Part 2)

"Indeed, it seems like they have gathered an army and are preparing to march south to crusade against the Dark Empire."

"Oh heavens, even the Angels are taking action; it looks like the Empire is in trouble..."

Rumors flew wildly, filling the air.

Countless people were anxious and unsettled, discussing fervently.

After all, the power of the Angels is recognized as an unparalleled existence.

Even the Dark Emperor would find it hard to resist, wouldn’t he?

The news quickly reached the Dark Sacred Hall.

"Master, bad news!"

Richard rushed into the grand hall, his face pale.

"It seems the Celestial Realm is stirring; it’s said they are gathering an army to head south and attack us."

"I worry that with our current strength, perhaps..."

Before he could finish, Zhang Beixing raised his hand to interrupt.

"Already panicking? You underestimate me too much."

The young emperor gave a cold laugh, his demeanor calm and unruffled.

"Such humble Angels dare to challenge my majesty?"

"Even if they come, I will not retreat a single step!"

The words were firm, exuding heroic spirit.

Everyone present was in awe of him.

"Master, you are wise! I swear to live and die with you, to defend the Empire to the death!"

Richard, moved, knelt in loyalty.

"So do I."

Alina stepped forward, her beautiful eyes full of determination.

"The enemies of the Master are my enemies."

"No one shall disrupt the peace of the Empire!"

The vows were resolute, the momentum was overwhelming.

Seeing his loyal followers’ reactions, Zhang Beixing was very satisfied.

"Good, with you all, what do I have to worry about?"

He stood up, hands behind his back.

"Send the order, gather all the Empire’s power."

"I would like to see what means these Angels possess!"

Before his voice faded, a mysterious smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his lips.

His eyes flickered, revealing unfathomable depth.

In an atmosphere of breathless silence, Zhang Beixing slowly surveyed the surroundings.

The corner of his mouth curved into a meaningful arc.

As if he had seen through everything, understanding the intrigue and deceit of the Celestial Realm.

[Host, you seem...confident.]

The voice of the Persuasion System carried a probing tone.

It knew that this disciple was always unpredictable.

Each time at critical moments, he could always bring surprising results.

"Ha, the tricks of the Celestial Realm won’t cause any big waves."

Zhang Beixing said casually, his tone calm and relaxed.

Yet, deep within his eyes, there was a sharp glance.

"However, since they want to play, I will accompany them to the end."

"I am eager to see what means those self-proclaimed righteous Angels have!"

As the words landed, they were resolutely pronounced.

Everyone present was stirred, extremely excited.

They knew an earth-shattering confrontation was about to unfold.

And this man was destined to lead the Dark Empire to the pinnacle of victory once more!

"Master, you are wise! We swear to live and die with you and protect the dignity of the Empire to the death!"

Richard took the lead, kneeling on one knee.

His gaze was resolute, his vow firm.

"Indeed, the Celestial Realm must not destroy the order we have painstakingly established."

Alina, with slightly parted red lips, her beautiful eyes shone with a firm light.

"Master, please allow me and Richard to march forth and assist you in defeating the enemy!"

Her words were earnest, filled with sincerity.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Beixing’s smile deepened at the corner of his lips.

He slowly walked to their side, his tone gentle yet authoritative.

"I appreciate your loyalty. But this battle, I must face alone."

"The Celestial Realm is no small matter; should anything go wrong, someone must defend the Empire."

"Alina, Richard, I entrust this to you both."

The words were firm, leaving no room for doubt.

The two, upon hearing this, felt a mix of emotions.

On one hand, they were worried about their lord’s safety.

Can one person really oppose the entire Celestial Realm?

But on the other hand, their master’s decision was made.

As subordinates, how could they defy their lord’s orders?

"As you command, Master! We will do our utmost not to fail you!"

"Please, Master...return safely!"

Their voices choked, eyes shimmering with tears.

Yet it couldn’t hide the worry and reluctance in their hearts.

"Rest assured, mere Celestial Realm is no match for me."

Zhang Beixing gave a light smile and turned to walk outside the hall.

His tall, slender figure exuded an aura of commanding the world.

As if the entire world should bow beneath his feet.

"Alright, everyone. Go and prepare, be ready for orders at any time."

"I will now set forth to meet those who do not know the immensity of heaven and earth!"

Before his words had settled, he had already disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Leaving behind ministers, wide-eyed with amazement.

Not knowing what to say, they could only silently pray in their hearts.

Pray that their king, destined to soar the skies,

Could advance fearlessly and be invincible.

Lead the Dark Empire, overcome all obstacles.

Achieve eternal great deeds!

Meanwhile, in the Celestial Realm.

A vast expanse of white clouds stretched to the horizon.

The sky was blue as if washed clean, with sunlight shining.

Above the clouds, several dozen magnificent palaces stood like an immortal land.

This was the holy sanctuary of the Angels.

The place of the most supreme existence.

And at this moment, inside the holy grand hall, tensions were high.

Dozens of Angels clad in silver armor, standing upright, were in heated debate.

Leading them was none other than Archangel Gabriel.

"Silence, all of you! Why are you making such a racket, how disgraceful!"

He slammed his hand on the table, halting the disputes.

His face grim, quite unlike his usual graceful demeanor.

"It’s just a mere Human boy, is it worth such a fuss from you all?"

"We are the dignified Celestial Realm, how can we be provoked by him?"
