Chapter 2240: Immortal Emperor Appears

Normally, isn't it incredibly difficult to light up even a single one? How could all the stars light up with just one touch, without any further action?

Zhang Xuan was stunned, and the three patriarchs behind him rubbed their eyes vigorously, afraid they were mistaken.

Lighting up a hundred stars signifies the ability to earn a title. Now that all of them are illuminated, doesn't it suggest that, for the person before them, a title is an effortless achievement?

"How can this be?" Feng Yuanchi, Feng Hanxue, and the others couldn't believe it.

Not only were they all lit, but the speed was astonishing. This happened in less than ten breaths after he touched the statue. Even the three ancestors of their great families, who are true titled God-Kings, couldn't achieve this!

"Is the star map broken?" Feng Hanxue couldn't help but ask.

"The Emperor's will resides within it; how could it be broken?" Feng Yuanchi shook his head. This is the totem of all of Spirit Origin Heaven, imbued with the will of the Undying Emperor. It's impossible for it to be broken!

That means this person before them passed the assessment with genuine strength!

The three patriarchs were too shocked to speak. Zhang Xuan, equally puzzled, couldn't help but look at the phoenix statue again.

Just now, he only focused on the oppressive feeling. Now, observing carefully, he actually discovered a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it before.

"This is... Little Yellow Chicken's aura?" Remembering something, his fist clenched. This aura was none other than that unique to his beast pet, Little Yellow Chicken. Could it be that his previous guess was correct... that this creature is truly the Undying Emperor of Spirit Origin Heaven?

Thinking of this, his mind stirred, and he sent a telepathic message. "Little Chicken, come out quickly and see if you recognize this phoenix..."

As his voice faded, Little Yellow Chicken appeared. It tilted its head, looked at the statue, and mumbled with a dazed expression, "So hungry..." With a sudden leap, it swallowed the entire statue in one gulp.

"You... what are you doing?" Feng Yuanchi and the others were all startled. This statue is the totem of Spirit Origin Heaven, swallowed by a chicken...

Zhang Xuan also couldn't help but stare blankly. *I just asked you to come out and see if you could recall some memories... You swallowed it... How am I going to explain this? There's no way to explain it!*

He reluctantly turned his head, and indeed saw the three patriarchs seething with anger, as if about to explode. The totem of Spirit Origin Heaven being swallowed was like a harsh slap to their faces; no one could accept that!

"Feng Xuan, hand over the chicken quickly..." "You're asking for death..." They roared simultaneously, and the three patriarchs prepared to attack.

However, before their power could be released, the ground shook violently. The entire Spirit God Palace, having lost the phoenix statue, seemed to have lost the core of its formation; spiritual energy scattered everywhere, and the clouds were torn into shreds. The three masters found it difficult to control their bodies, and their attacking power immediately halted.

The majestic Spirit God Palace, as if struck by an earthquake, instantly collapsed by more than half, appearing as though the entire palace could fall from the sky at any moment.

"I didn't do it..." Zhang Xuan was on the verge of tears. Back on the Master Teacher Continent, he earned the nickname "Zhang the Demolisher" for causing destruction wherever he went. While it was a bit frustrating, those were just minor incidents, largely harmless. But now, before even meeting Luo Ruoxi, he had demolished their home. It's like showing up at your future father-in-law's door, and when he doesn't open, you blast his house flat with a cannon. How could you possibly continue to get along after that? This isn't how things are supposed to work...

He wanted to deny it, but Little Yellow Chicken was his beast pet, and he had summoned it. After what just happened, he was undeniably implicated.

"Let's talk this through. Little Chicken didn't want to do this; there must be a reason..." Though dejected, his mind moved, forming a barrier to block the three patriarchs' attack. He had to block them. This chicken was always unreliable, even having swallowed an Emperor's will. Stopping it was for their own good; otherwise, if it devoured all three patriarchs in one go, the commotion in Spirit Origin Heaven would surely surpass that in Exquisite Heaven. At that point, coming to seek relatives would be equivalent to coming to provoke them...

"Regardless of the reason, let's apprehend him first..." The three patriarchs roared simultaneously, three streams of power swirling in the air, just about to envelop Little Yellow Chicken, when they heard several violent roars in the air, followed by thunderous words exploding simultaneously in everyone's ears.

"What happened?" Three figures suddenly appeared before everyone, each with greenish beards and indifferent gazes.

"Greetings, Ancestors..." The three patriarchs bowed down simultaneously. They were the three titled God-Kings of Spirit Origin Heaven: Fiery Feather, Icy Feather, and Windy Feather!

The shaking of the Spirit God Palace had completely alarmed these three.

"First, stabilize the shaking..." Seeing that part of the palace had already collapsed and the supporting formation was continuously shaking, the three titled God-Kings didn't waste words and acted simultaneously. Three streams of power descended from the sky, like a giant energy shield, enveloping the entire floating palace. Covered by the power, the scattered spiritual energy slowly gathered. Although the collapsed parts could not be restored, the shaking stopped.

Having done this, they returned to the air and looked at the three patriarchs.

"Explain what happened!" The Fiery Feather Titled God-King, standing at the forefront, snorted.

"Reporting to the Ancestor, it's like this: This Feng Xuan is the most powerful genius of our generation..." Feng Yuanchi hastily explained. He explained everything, including how Zhang Xuan's soul reached the peak of God-King at a young age, how he came for the assessment, lit up all the star maps, and how Little Yellow Chicken suddenly appeared and swallowed the Emperor's statue.

"You lit up all the star maps?" All three titled God-Kings were shaken, looking at Zhang Xuan with disbelief. Even they, back in their day, couldn't achieve this.

"It was luck..." Zhang Xuan cupped his fist and hastily explained, "Little Yellow Chicken is my beast pet, and it didn't intentionally swallow the Emperor's statue. I hope you can forgive us..."

"Swallowing the Emperor's statue is a great disrespect to the Emperor, and it damaged the Spirit God Palace's formation, which is a provocation to Spirit Origin Heaven—a capital offense!" The Fiery Feather Titled God-King snorted coldly, looking down at Little Yellow Chicken with an indifferent gaze.

"Although swallowing the Emperor's statue wasn't your subjective intent, it was still done by your beast pet, so you must also be punished..." The Icy Feather Titled God-King looked at Zhang Xuan, his tone equally cold.

"Do it!" Two of the three titled God-Kings made their decision without further words, raising their palms simultaneously. Instantly, power converged, as if the heavens and earth were about to collapse.

"You want to kill me? Who gave you the gall...?" Just then, a faint voice slowly resounded, like muffled thunder, shaking all directions.

Before everyone's astonished eyes, the adorable Little Yellow Chicken gently swayed, and a massive phantom of a phoenix appeared before them, suspended in the nine heavens, soaring across myriad realms.

"The Emperor..." The pupils of the three titled God-Kings constricted, and they simultaneously knelt to the ground.
