Chapter 2904: Subjugation

Chapter 2904: Chapter 2904: Subjugation

Fang Bai’s flesh tore apart and then fused back, again and again, his entire body was covered in blood, looking extremely terrifying.

Yet during this process, his body was tempered to become ever more formidable.

The two Golden Dragons and the four Divine Emperors were shocked to find that each time they left a wound on Fang Bai, it would almost instantly heal back to its original state.

Fang Bai’s physical body seemed to be indestructible flesh.

"You’ve had enough, it’s my turn now!"

Rolling and tumbling without knowing how long it had been, Fang Bai knew that continuing to fight would not benefit his strength enhancement, so he lost patience.

He extended his hands into the void, and the Sea of Consciousness at his brow flashed.

The next moment, the Pangu Axe and the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade appeared in his hands.

With the two supreme Divine Artifacts in hand, Fang Bai’s battle power suddenly surged, immediately freeing him from complete suppression and allowing him to both defend and attack.

The two Golden Dragons and four Divine Emperors found that they still couldn’t stop Fang Bai from summoning his Divine Artifacts, realizing that defeating him today and seizing his Golden Fish was nearly impossible, couldn’t help but feel disheartened.

"No more fighting! No more fighting!"

One of the Divine Emperors suddenly shouted twice, decisively choosing to withdraw, then said to Fang Bai, "Brother, you’ve netted every Golden Fish in this lake, leaving none for us, that’s a bit unreasonable! It’s better to enjoy together than alone. If you could give me a few Golden Fish, we’d be friends from now on, what do you say?"

The other three Divine Emperors, hearing this, nodded in agreement.

The two Golden Dragons, however, were unwilling to let Fang Bai go. Even if the four Divine Emperors withdrew, they continued their attack.

After all, all the Golden Fish in this Golden Lake originally belonged to them. How could they be content with Fang Bai taking them all?

In their eyes, any strong being that came to seize the Golden Fish was an enemy.

"If you want Golden Fish, you should deal with these two annoying Golden Dragons for me first."

Seeing that the four Divine Emperors were not ferocious fiends and had no evil aura about them, Fang Bai had a notion of recruiting them.

Currently, the disciples of the Emperor’s Palace in the Chaos Realm already numbered over a thousand, but he was the only Divine Emperor, while the rest were in the Divine Emperor Realm. In Fang Bai’s view, such strength was still too weak.

Earlier in the temple, Great Emperor Pangu had tasked him to participate in the upcoming battles against the Dark Clan.

Alone, he would definitely be unable to oppose the Dark Clan, so he must make the Emperor’s Palace increasingly powerful to become his auxiliary force.

If he could recruit these four Divine Emperors in front of him, having them join the Emperor’s Palace, the strength of the Emperor’s Palace would undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.

"Deal with two Golden Dragons? That’s indeed doable!"

When the four Divine Emperors heard Fang Bai’s words, they secretly pondered and realized that dealing with two Half-Step Divine Emperor Realm Golden Dragons would be much easier than dealing with Fang Bai. So, they exchanged glances and nodded to each other, and then launched an attack on the two Golden Dragons.

The two Golden Dragons had already been simmering with anger over the theft of the Golden Fish they had guarded for years. Seeing the four Divine Emperors come to attack, they became even angrier, whipping their tails to engage them in battle.

Fang Bai had been the target of the attacks from the two dragons and four Divine Emperors earlier, but now he became an observer, standing with arms crossed at a distance, leisurely watching the battle unfold.

Though the two Golden Dragons were mighty, they were still not in the Emperor Realm, so Fang Bai was certain they were no match for the four Divine Emperors.

Indeed, after a thousand breaths, the two Golden Dragons were injured under the intense attacks of the four Divine Emperors, retreating into the distance with dragon roars.

The four Divine Emperors did not pursue them but turned toward Fang Bai, looking at him eagerly.

Fang Bai knew they were waiting for the Golden Fish he had promised, so he thought for a moment and said, "Will you be satisfied with a few Golden Fish given to you?"

"What else?"

One Divine Emperor caught the insinuation in Fang Bai’s words, feeling intrigued.

Fang Bai smiled and said, "I have thousands of Golden Fish here. Would you like more?"

The four Divine Emperors’ eyes lit up, and they couldn’t help but nod.

Fang Bai said, "Join my Emperor’s Palace, and I’ll give each of you one Golden Fish every ten days."

The four Divine Emperors were stunned, not understanding what this Emperor’s Palace sect was.

Fang Bai explained seriously, "The Emperor’s Palace is a sect I established to combat the Dark Clan. Currently, the Dark Clan is ambitiously trying to unify the Chaos Realm. As members of the Chaos Realm, it’s our duty to rise up and resist them, not letting their ambitions succeed. Will the four of you aid me?"

The four Divine Emperors belonged to the Golden Clan. Although there had not yet been conflict between the Golden Clan and the Dark Clan, they understood that with the Dark Clan’s growing ambition, conflict was inevitable sooner or later.

Moreover, ever since the Dark Clan began attacking other tribes within the Chaos Realm, they faced criticism and condemnation from all tribes. Some powerful beings from various tribes even gathered and went to territories facing incursions from the Dark Clan to engage in fierce battles to uphold the order of the Chaos Realm, defending peace and tranquility.

The four Divine Emperors had also been previously summoned by friends to counter the Dark Clan. However, they didn’t go because they were focused on secluded cultivation.

They originally intended to seize some Golden Fish and use them for cultivation to enhance their own strength, then respond to the call to fight the Dark Clan, but they were preempted by Fang Bai.

Now, learning that Fang Bai’s Emperor’s Palace was founded to fight against the Dark Clan, they thought joining the Emperor’s Palace would eventually lead to fighting the Dark Clan anyway, and they would also receive Golden Fish to aid in cultivation. Why not?

Moreover, Fang Bai was a young Divine Emperor whose combat power far exceeded theirs. Given time, what heights might he reach?

After a millennium, perhaps he could even challenge the twelve Principal Gods.

By then, for those Divine Emperors whose strength had peaked and who saw no greater prospects, they might benefit from Fang Bai’s progress.

Thinking of this, the four Divine Emperors, in mutual understanding, cupped their fists toward Fang Bai and exclaimed, "We pledge to join the Emperor’s Palace and will follow the Palace Master’s lead!"

Seeing their willingness to join, Fang Bai laughed heartily, "Great! With your assistance, the Emperor’s Palace’s strength will surely increase significantly. In the future, we shall cultivate together and progress side by side. Once the power of the Emperor’s Palace grows stronger, we will join in the battle against the Dark Clan!"

Since the four Divine Emperors had joined the Emperor’s Palace, they were now, in essence, part of one family with Fang Bai. Thus, they left the Golden Lake together to continue training in the Golden Valley in cooperation.

When their journey in the Golden Valley concluded, Fang Bai assessed their gains and found that, apart from the countless Golden Fish, they had harvested a large number of Divine Medicines. Some of these Divine Medicines could even be used to refine Elixirs for the Divine Emperor Realm, delighting Fang Bai, who felt that this trip was incredibly worthwhile.

The four Divine Emperors also learned that the Palace Master could refine Elixirs for the Divine Emperor Realm, which made them feel excited and grateful, believing that joining the Emperor’s Palace was the best decision of their lives.
