Then, Baili Zhenyan's figure projected a million feet high, welcoming the cheers and jubilation of countless people below.
"Your Majesty is mighty!"
"Peerless True Emperor, unifying the Nine Realms, supreme power in the Primordial Heaven, his might reigns supreme for eight eras!"
[The scene below is bustling with activity; this once-in-a-century pilgrimage represents an event that mortals can only witness once or twice in their lifetime.]
[However, the atmosphere above is somewhat strange. Xu Ling'er is sending you a telepathic message. She knows that everyone in the central region of the Yuantian Realm is looking for you. You must grow stronger quickly and try your best not to waste these hundred years.]
You shook your head. There were some things she should know.
"Don't worry, I was just waiting for the right time... Now the time has come."
[At the moment when the cheers from below were at their most intense and resounding.]
[Bai Li Zhenyan basked in the adoring gazes of his subjects while simultaneously keeping an eye on your movements, master and disciple. He knew you would most likely yield, but it would take you some time to come to your senses.]
He felt genuinely pleased. Yes, he was the Martial Emperor, the ruler of the Nine Domains; no one could stand higher than him!
[You don't need to be someone's servant to find others who can rebuild their cultivation, and you can still obtain the methods for rebuilding.]
Then he realized he couldn't move.
[Then you step onto the table, take two steps forward, and slap Baili Zhenyan's face, which has been empty for eighty thousand years.]
[Smack!]
[Bai Li Zhenyan's face turned to the side.]
"So, your name is Baili Zhenyan?!"
The million-foot projection projected into the sky simultaneously played this scene.
The cheers and shouts abruptly subsided, as if cut in half.
The entire world fell into a deathly silence; the boiling atmosphere instantly subsided.
[Bai Li Zhenyan's face was filled with disbelief, but you suppressed him with power hundreds of times greater than his own, and he couldn't move an inch.]
He is at the first level of cultivation, and his strength is... 520,000 Thorns, which is less than the upper limit of 1,500,000 Thorns for the first level.
[And you only need to descend once to unleash the power of a billion thorns!]
[With such a vast difference in strength, you captured and locked Baili Zhenyan at close range, completely binding every inch of his muscles, his Yuan energy, and even his mental energy.]
[Smack!]
You slapped him across the face, delivering a symmetrical blow.
[Both sides of Baili Zhenyan's face were marked with bright red handprints, not only from the injuries and the surge of blood and qi, but also from the anger rising from the public humiliation!]
You glanced at the projector's screen, your tone flippant: "You've all knelt before this Martial Emperor quite a few times over the years, haven't you?"
"Today I'll have him return the favor to everyone!"
With a snap of your fingers, Baili Zhenyan's knees slammed down like two mountains!
[Dozens of miles away, the staff panicked and tried to shut down the projection equipment, but before they could do so, you knocked them unconscious from a distance.]
"What, you're still not happy?" You stared at Baili Zhenyan's bluish-purple face and launched another attack: "He's been kneeling to you for so many years, what's wrong with you returning the favor!?"
"Actually, he had already knelt down; it was someone else who returned the gesture."
You kicked Baili Zhenyan in the face, knocking him to the ground and causing him to fall backward, leaving a black mark on his dignified and square face.
As the kick landed on his face, three front teeth flew out with a spray of blood. This resulted in the view that when you later turned the camera to Baili Zhenyan's face, you could see three black patches in his split mouth, along with three white teeth scattered nearby.
The people in the city below, and the crowds from the nine domains centered around Yuan Yu, who watched the broadcast, were first shocked, then terrified.
[The leader of the major power urgently requested the broadcast to be cut off, and then secretly opened a private chat window. We should pay attention to how the situation develops.]
As for ordinary people and low-level martial artists, most of them lowered their heads; they dared not look, they truly dared not look!
[A Martial Emperor who had reigned supreme over the Nine Realms for 80,000 years, making his once-in-a-century world tour, and who had been unapproachable and high above for eight world eras, was now utterly humiliated and disgraced for the first time!]
The prestige accumulated over 80,000 years can be destroyed with just two blows, a single return of the salute, and a single strike.
[However, losing face is a matter for later. After the initial shock and anger, Baili Zhenyan is now concerned about something else.]
Incredulity, unbelievable, incomprehensible… all such words could describe his current expression.
"You destroyed your own rebuilt body!?" he exclaimed.
You nodded: "That's true."
[In the future in which you chose to descend to this state, there was indeed a version of you who chose to destroy your own body and return to the second level of the sixth realm.]
"How could you do this! How could you do this!?"
[Bai Li Zhenyan felt a sense of collapse. He had only made a small threat; he hadn't even actually done anything... and you'd already flipped the table!]
Unlike the future you predicted, he didn't pressure you and Xu Ling'er too much, and gave you four months to think things through and gradually understand everything, so you wouldn't take extreme measures on the spot.
But now all plans have been ruined.
[He really encountered a sixth-realm cultivator who would rather destroy himself and rebuild his body than hand over the method of rebuilding... and was so much stronger than him!]
He... was filled with immense regret!
"I am the Martial Emperor of the Nine Realms, and my power is immense."
"So, don't push honest people too far."
Yun Shou sighed and shook his head.
Although eleven is not well-behaved at all.
Baili Zhenyan's face turned pale. He lacked confidence in dealing with you after you regained your strength. His only leverage was that "you were unwilling to give up this opportunity to rebuild your cultivation."
This means that once you're willing to give up, you become a complete loser, a loser!
All the plans and all the effort put into them have been in vain!
Not only is there no chance of obtaining a way to rebuild it, but it would also cost him his own life!
[As for the fact that you also suffered losses... that means he'll be in even worse shape!]
"I was just kidding, there's no real loss."
"Oh no, you wasted one of Prison Eleven's opportunities to descend. It takes a full 24 hours to recover once!"
[This is why Baili Zhenyan's face turned pale; he felt fear, he was afraid of death!]
He "forced" you to destroy a reconstruction, which already cost him the opportunity for peace talks. And when your true form displays power far exceeding his, it means he must pay the price!
[He, the peerless Martial Emperor Baili Zhenyan, is doomed...]
"Xiao Yanzi, this is your biggest mistake."
