"Emperor!"
At this moment, several Nine-Star Martial Gods flew over from the distance.
Although Lin San had not yet reached the level of a God Emperor, they all addressed him as "Emperor" directly.
This was because Lin San had inherited the legacy of the Eastern Emperor God, and becoming a God Emperor was only a matter of time.
"What's the situation?"
Lin San sheathed the Ye Fan Sword and asked.
"The Martial Gods from the other cities have all been killed as well."
"But it seems that the demon gods have already left this place."
One of the Nine-Star Martial Gods respectfully reported.
"They left?"
Lin San frowned at this.
According to the previous intelligence, these demon gods should have been entrenched in this region.
Moreover, the number of Demon God Kings invading the Martial God Realm was far greater than those that had been encountered so far—there should be at least a dozen more.
"Yes, it seems they've gone to the Eastern Divine Court!"
Another Nine-Star Martial God reported.
The Southern Divine Court was located to the south, one of the realms ruled by a God Emperor and protected by a large number of the God Emperor's subordinates.
"Emperor, there are four God Kings in the Southern Divine Court."
"They were once subordinates of the Eastern Emperor. If we go to support them and they recognize your identity, they will likely join us!"
One of the Nine-Star Martial Gods spoke excitedly.
It had been so many years, and at long last, there was an heir to the Eastern Emperor.
The current God Emperor was still in a state of deep slumber, so this was a perfect opportunity for them.
"The Southern Divine Court, huh..."
Lin San's eyes narrowed slightly.
Although his strength was already formidable—against most Martial God Kings or Demon God Kings, there were few who could stand against him—if he could gain the allegiance of those four God Kings, it would be an even greater advantage.
"Let's go!"
Lin San quickly made his decision and immediately set off toward the Southern Divine Court!
...
"Didn't they say that demon gods were going to attack our Southern Divine Court?"
At the same time, in the main hall of the Southern Divine Court, a God King spoke up.
"Xuan God King, there's no need to rush. If those demon gods dare to come here, they're as good as dead."
Another God King, sitting nearby and leisurely eating spirit fruits, responded indifferently.
"With us, the four God Kings of Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang, here, do those demon gods really think they can cause trouble?"
"They're simply walking to their deaths."
The Earth God King sneered at this.
However, just as he finished speaking, an immense surge of energy was felt from outside the hall!
Who is it!?
The four God Kings reacted simultaneously, immediately standing up.
Their powerful auras erupted, and their divine weapons appeared in their hands.
A young man entered the hall, followed by several Martial Gods.
Some of the Martial Gods of the Southern Divine Court were about to block their path.
But as soon as Lin San's gaze swept over them, their bodies froze in place, unable to move!
It was Lin San!
He had arrived, along with the rest of the Nine-Star Martial Gods!
"An Qiang?"
The Huang God King looked closely at one of the Nine-Star Martial Gods, recognizing him, and spoke in surprise.
"Greetings, my Lords God Kings,"
The Nine-Star Martial God, known as An Qiang, respectfully addressed the group.
"What are you doing here?"
The God Kings glanced at him, their brows furrowing.
"The heir to the Emperor has appeared."
An Qiang glanced at the four God Kings and spoke solemnly.
As soon as An Qiang finished speaking, the expressions of the God Kings shifted dramatically.
"An Qiang, you can't mean him, can you?"
The Heaven God King looked toward Lin San.
Lin San appeared quite young.
While a powerful God King could alter their appearance at will, the energy fluctuations emanating from Lin San didn't seem particularly strong.
"Yes, this is the heir to the Emperor."
An Qiang nodded.
Lin San, at this moment, turned his gaze toward them.
The strength of these four God Kings was palpable, but for the current Lin San, they posed no real threat.
"And what proof do you have that he is the Emperor's heir?"
The Earth God King pointed at Lin San, his tone cold.
"An Qiang, you didn't just find some random person to deceive us, did you?"
The Xuan God King also spoke coldly.
"I'm not lying! This is the truth!"
An Qiang quickly replied.
"I don't have time for your nonsense. If the God Emperor awakens, you'll all be dead."
The Heaven God King glared at him and replied coldly.
Boom!
Just as his words fell, a massive explosion came from outside!
What's going on!?
The God Kings' eyes widened.
The sound was deafening, accompanied by violent tremors that shook the hall.
"Report!"
"The Divine Court's defense barrier has been destroyed!"
"A large number of demon gods have broken in!"
A Martial God rushed in from outside, urgently reporting.
The demon gods had arrived!?
The pupils of the four God Kings contracted.
"Get out of here now!"
"Otherwise, you might not be able to escape and will die here!"
The four God Kings immediately flew outside.
"Emperor..."
An Qiang sighed bitterly and glanced at Lin San.
"It's fine. Let's go outside,"
Lin San said calmly.
He hadn't expected the demon gods to launch an attack here.
Boom! Boom!
In an instant, the deafening explosions from outside became even more frequent and much clearer.
As Lin San stepped out of the hall and looked toward the distance, he could see the massive walls being blown apart.
Moreover, endless waves of demon gods, like a flood, surged toward the Divine Court, surrounding it entirely!
"Damn it!"
The four God Kings' eyes widened in shock as they witnessed this scene, their expressions filled with disbelief.
Although they had prepared for this, they hadn't anticipated that the demon gods would appear in such overwhelming numbers.
There were simply… too many of them!
Boom! Boom!
At that moment, the sound of terrifying explosions erupted again.
The demon gods continuously unleashed powerful martial techniques, bombarding the Divine Court!
"This is…"
Ye Fan, who was watching from the side, suddenly noticed one particularly terrifying martial technique.
That technique was... the Underworld Flame Soul Slash!!!
"As expected, another Demon God King has appeared!"
It seemed they had arrived just in time!
