“What?”
The Cloud Top King clutched his chest, repeatedly stepping back before recovering.
“What's going on with this crumbling Cloud Top Empire?”
On the side, the Destroyer of the World roared hysterically, "Claiming to be the greatest empire in the Lingxu Realm, countless nations and sects under your control. Now, betrayal after betrayal, even a small figure like Wu Tian is beyond your control. What exactly is the Cloud Top Empire up to?”
“Calm down, calm down!”
Seeing this, the Cloud Top King quickly reassured, rotating his pupils as he said, "The betrayal of a few small sects is unexpected, but it hasn't escalated to that point yet. I can always have the one in seclusion at the Underground Palace come out early."
The Destroyer squinted.
In a deep voice, he asked, "Who is this person you're talking about?"
"Can he stop Wu Tian's attack?"
"Heh, rest assured about that. This person is undoubtedly a natural genius, with future achievements no less than ours. He's the vanguard representative of the new generation of my Cloud Top Empire, a truly unparalleled genius," confidently stated the Cloud Top King.
"Unparalleled genius?"
"Is he reliable?"
The Destroyer couldn't help but ask.
So much had happened lately; he found everything unreliable.
"You can absolutely trust this."
The Cloud Top King patted his shoulder, saying, "This person is a native of my Cloud Top Empire. I identified him as a promising talent several years ago and invested heavily in his development using the resources of the Cloud Top Empire."
"Now, he has not disappointed my expectations. After traveling outside for a while, his strength has greatly increased. Recently, he reached the edge of a breakthrough, prompting him to go into seclusion at the Cloud Top Underground Palace where I set up the Gathering Spirit Array!"
At these words,
The Destroyer slightly breathed a sigh of relief.
"But, if you speak so highly of this person, better call him out quickly and have a look!"
"Alright, given the current situation, I can only have him come out of seclusion early!"
The Cloud Top King breathed a sigh of relief, then walked alone towards the Underground Palace.
Not long after,
The Cloud Top King returned to the palace with a smile on his face.
"How did it go?"
The Destroyer quickly asked.
"Hahaha, fortune favors me. When I went to find him, he had just made an early breakthrough. After a short wait, he'll be able to come out!"
As the Cloud Top King's voice fell,
Outside the palace, a pleasant rumbling sound was heard.
Then, a black shadow burst out from beneath the ground, standing in mid-air.
"He's out!"
The Cloud Top King's eyes lit up, exchanging glances with the Destroyer before hastily leaving the palace.
There they saw,
In the sky, a black-clothed youth with flowing long hair in front of his forehead, a black robe fluttering without wind, and a long spear in hand emitting a faint glow.
At the same time,
He exuded a powerful aura, filling the entire sky with a thick pressure.
"I, Yuan Zun, pay my respects to the king."
In mid-air, the black-clothed youth slightly bowed, a respectful tone echoing.
"Good, no need for formalities!"
The Cloud Top King laughed heartily, waving his hand.
“Why did the king urgently summon me out of seclusion?” Yuan Zun blinked his eyes in mid-air, questioning hastily.
“Well, let's cut to the chase.”
“Lately, Wu Tian, ignorant of the consequences, has been attacking our Cloud Top Empire. Meanwhile, both of us have been occupied with other matters. Now, I command you to go and resist Wu Tian's assault. Once we free up, we'll join forces to eliminate him!” said the Cloud Top King.
Upon hearing this, a sinister expression flashed across Yuan Zun's face.
“The audacious thief dared to attack our Cloud Top Empire. He's asking for death. I'll head to the front lines immediately. Please await my good news, Your Majesty.”
With that, Yuan Zun, wielding a long spear, soared through the air like a war god, heading towards the frontline.
Witnessing Yuan Zun's decisive demeanor, the Cloud Top King nodded in satisfaction.
Turning to Destroyer of the World, he couldn't help but ask, “How does it look?”
“This lad is indeed promising.”
“His strength is undoubtedly formidable. Who would have thought, Cloud Top, that you still harbor such excellent talent?” chuckled Destroyer of the World.
“Hahaha.”
“Our Cloud Top Empire has stood tall for so long for a reason. If anyone underestimates us, they're truly done for. Hahaha,” laughed the Cloud Top King.
“Enough talk. Now that we have Yuan Zun to restrain Wu Tian, he won't stir up much trouble for a while. Let's proceed with our tasks, restoring the cosmic energy swiftly!” said Destroyer of the World.
“Agreed!”
The two of them shared a hearty laugh.
Back at the Cosmic Energy Pillar, they followed the guidance of the celestial book, initiating a new round of arrangements.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
With Yuan Zun restraining him, Wu Tian temporarily left them alone. The two solely focused on cosmic energy, achieving considerable progress in restoring the lost cosmic energy.
Looking up, they revealed content smiles.
“Things have been smooth in these few days,” remarked Destroyer of the World.
“Yes.”
Cloud Top King nodded, “While Yuan Zun might not be able to kill Wu Tian, his strength should be enough to keep him in check. Perhaps, he may even reclaim some of our lost territories.”
However,
As his voice just fell,
An underling rushed in anxiously, kneeling and shouting, “Your Majesty, it's bad news! Yuan Zun has betrayed us. Not only that, he voluntarily opened all the city defense formations, allowing Wu Tian's large army to enter.”
“Currently, Wu Tian's army is less than three cities away from the Imperial City!”
