At this moment, a mighty and overwhelming aura, like a mountain and an ocean, was emanating from Belober, drawing everyone's attention, almost as if he were not a mortal warrior but a sun shining with brilliance!
"Sir Hilvie, this Black God seems no less than the Emperor of Xia..." Lily said, her face full of worry, speaking softly.
Hilvie, with a grim expression, was deep in thought, unaware of what was on her mind.
Equally troubled were Mo Tianxing and other Xia Kingdom warriors. They had originally been resentful and wanted to see with their own eyes what kind of person the legendary figure who had defeated their emperor was.
Now that they had seen him, it seemed that his reputation was indeed well-deserved...
Even Anthony and Sheila from the Federation grew serious as they exchanged glances.
"This Black God, Belober, truly cannot be underestimated!" Sheila said telepathically.
"Mm..." Anthony replied, "His aura is not something that a Grandmaster would possess. He is undoubtedly the strongest in the Eastern Continent!"
"Although he still doesn't match the Holy Emperor, we should not rashly provoke the Ice Plains."
"Exactly."
For a moment, the envoys from various countries were thinking different thoughts. Belober and the Ice Plains high command, however, simply walked up to the throne at the highest point of the hall.
After a period of rest and recovery, Belober's injuries had fully healed. Moreover, with the strongest warrior of the Xia Kingdom now eliminated, he was in an exceptionally good mood.
He was almost certain that he would dominate the entire Eastern Continent, and after subduing the various countries there, he would turn his attention to the West...
Behind him, Zhuang Yanghou and Xiya followed closely, especially Zhuang Yanghou, who appeared to be very humble.
Having witnessed Belober's power, he had already decided to abandon his past and become an honored member of the Ice Plains from now on.
With the arrival of the main figure, the hall once again fell silent. Ivan Seventeen sat nervously on the throne, while Belober stood in front of him, loudly declaring:
"Welcome, all of you, who have traveled from faraway lands to attend our Emperor's coronation ceremony!"
"Before the banquet officially begins, I would like to play a unique game to liven up the atmosphere."
"Since you all are top-tier warriors from various countries, why don't we have a friendly martial arts contest?"
A martial arts contest?
The envoys from various countries exchanged glances, uncertain of what Belober was up to.
Belober continued leisurely, "Of course, since this is a contest, there must be an enticing prize!"
As soon as his voice fell, Belober waved his hand, and a large sword flew out from his storage ring, landing steadily in his palm.
The sword was entirely covered in black light, and a prominent character "封" was engraved on its blade.
"How about this sword as the prize? Whoever wins the contest will receive it!" Belober said, revealing the sword.
Upon seeing the sword, the members of the Xia Kingdom immediately changed their expressions. They recognized it as the Emperor's "Earth Sword"!
How did the Earth Sword end up in Belober's hands? Could it be that their emperor...
"Belober, you are pushing it too far!" In the corner of the hall, Mo Tianxing, who had been advising patience earlier, was the first to slam the table and stand up, "This is the treasure of our Emperor, how dare you give it away so casually!"
"That's right!" Gao Shang also stood up and said, "Return our Emperor's weapon immediately!"
They had endured all sorts of humiliation before, but now they simply couldn't take it anymore.
Upon hearing the Xia Kingdom envoy's anger, the representatives from other countries realized what was happening.
So this sword was actually the Xia Emperor's heirloom? Things were getting even more interesting.
"This sword has such a background. Then, my kingdom of Sang will definitely be involved in this contest," without waiting for Belober to respond, the Emperor of Sang smiled and said.
"My Baekje Kingdom will also participate!"
"Haha, my Reverse Scales group wants to join in too!"
Representatives from other countries chimed in, and Sena's lips curled into a smile. Anthony and Sheila looked on with amusement, while Hilvie sighed slightly.
Belober had even gotten his hands on the weapon of Fang Yuan. It seemed that any hope she had was nothing more than an unrealistic fantasy.
Belober smiled coldly. The Empire of Flame and the Ice Plains had been bitter enemies for many years. Now that they had come to him, he would be sure to humiliate them properly!
He wanted to disgrace the Xia Kingdom, and embarrass Fang Yuan!
The atmosphere in the hall quickly became more lively, with Yuren further stoking the fire, calling out, "Black God, let's get started, shall we?"
A king of a nation addressing the ministers of other countries as "sir" was an extreme display of flattery.
Belober smiled and nodded, raising the sword high, proudly displaying it, "Well then, I now announce..."
However, before he could finish his sentence, his body suddenly froze as if struck by lightning, his expression instantly turning ugly.
As the center of attention, Belober's sudden strange behavior immediately caught everyone's eye.
But that was just the beginning. Soon, everyone saw Belober's face turn paler and paler, until it became completely bloodless, his eyes revealing deep fear.
"Black God, what's wrong with you?" Zhuang Yanghou immediately asked with concern.
Xiya stepped forward to support Belober, her voice full of worry, "Sir, could it be that your old wounds have resurfaced? Perhaps you should go rest for a while..."
Everyone else was also puzzled. Belober, who had been perfectly fine just moments ago, was now acting in such a strange manner.
What had happened to make the most powerful person in the Eastern Continent so terrified?
But there was clearly nothing unusual in the hall!
"It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be..." Belober muttered to himself, ignoring Ziya and Zhuang Yanghou's questions, his entire body shaking uncontrollably.
"What's wrong? What's happening?"
Everyone was trying to figure out the meaning of Belober's words, but in the next second, an extremely sharp "pfff" sound rang out!
Belober's neck suddenly snapped at a 90-degree angle, and a huge crack spread rapidly from his neck, quickly cutting through his entire back!
Then, a white, slender arm shot out from the terrifying crack!
The arm flailed wildly in the air before finally grabbing the Earth Sword firmly from Belober's right hand!
