Chapter 439 "If you dare to touch her... All mankind on this continent will cease to exist!" (4)

"Hahaha!" The emperor laughed out loud when he heard the king's question. His laughter overflowed with joy and pride while his gaze was ardent as he said, "This information was supposed to be notified to each of you during the meeting to be held this year, but I guess there is no harm in telling you now as well... Hu Yi, actually, my son Xuan Bai finally broke through the Immortal grade barrier and managed to enter the Heaven grade and awakened a strange skill that allows him to sense when and where a threat to the mankind of Adastreia Continent will appear!"

"What?!" King Hu Yi looked extremely surprised and couldn't help but exclaim, "The crown prince actually already managed to enter the Heaven grade at the age of 29? What a talent!"

In fact, King Hu Yi's surprise was completely justified considering that he, one of the greatest talents in the history of mankind, had only just entered the Heaven grade when he was fifty years old! Moreover, as if that wasn't enough, Crown Prince Xuan Bai had even awakened a rare skill worthy of a true ruler!

The emperor was clearly pleased with King Hu Yi's words as he nodded with a smile while fiddling with the sleeves of his imperial robe: "He really is a great talent! This seat believes that my crown prince will be able to enter the God grade before the age of 50... By that time my human race will have another God grade powerhouse!"

"Congratulations, your majesty! Prince Xuan Bai might even surpass the ancestor emperor!" King Hu Yi quickly congratulated with a courteous smile.

From a certain point of view, the talent of Crown Prince Xuan Bai, who would be the next emperor of Adastreia Continent, was even higher than the talent of his father Xuan Liuxian. In fact, he was talented to the point of being able to compete against the strongest emperor in the human history!

"Mm. The ancestor emperor, the only human being who managed to set a foot inside the Saint grade... If my prince manages to reach that level... No, if he manages to go beyond that then the mankind of this land should no longer fear any other race!" The emperor said with fervor. His gaze was extremely respectful when he spoke of the strongest emperor in the history; after all, he was one of the ancestors of the imperial family and his blood ran through the veins of the current emperor. However, in the midst of that reverence there was also longing and desire.

Longing to possess such power and desire to surpass it.

However, Xuan Liuxian knew that it was unlikely that he would ever achieve such a level, let alone surpass it. Therefore, he had pinned his hopes on his own son, who proved to possess great talent.

"By the way, Hu Yi." Suddenly the emperor seemed to wake up from his fantasies and frowned as he looked at the king and said, "It's not that I doubt your strength and that of your men but... How did you manage to cause such great damage to the Abyssal Dragon?"

This was a doubt that Xuan Liuxian had but due to the circumstances had overlooked.

It was due to the strange skill that Crown Prince Xuan Bai awakened that he was able to warn his father, telling him that an existence that was a danger to mankind had suddenly appeared in the vicinity of Eternal Wind City. When Xuan Liuxian heard this he immediately teleported to Eternal Wind City and saw the terrifying Abyssal Dragon unleashing hellish attacks. However, to his great surprise, the city had not yet collapsed as he expected or else the teleportation array might not have worked properly.

Even greater was his surprise when he saw the extremely weak condition of the Abyssal Dragon.

Xuan Liuxian naturally did not believe that King Hu Yi possessed the power to threaten the life of a Saint grade powerhouse, let alone a Saint grade dragon. As for the soldiers, such a thing was even more impossible.

The king seemed surprised by the sudden question. However, he soon realized that he had forgotten about the other people and quickly turned around to present: "Your majesty emperor, this naturally does not have the power to threaten the Abyssal Dragon and I only stepped forward when it was time to fight since that was and is my duty as a human. However, it was these people who actually came close to defeating the Abyssal Dragon."

"Em?" The emperor looked at Xie Feng's group with surprise in his eyes.

Such weak people had caused so much damage to the Abyssal Dragon? What a joke! Xuan Liuxian could feel how weak the people in front of him were and even the strongest among them would not even be able to resist a slap from him; how was it possible that such weak beings could accomplish such a feat then?

Xuan Liuxian naturally knew about the players. However, they were so weak that he had never paid any attention to them in the past and even now he did not pay any attention to them either. From his point of view, these "visitors" from another world were not real humans like them, original residents.

To the emperor, the players were no different than an alien race that had come to these lands. However, due to the existence of the system, there was nothing he could do about it... But even if he did nothing, these players were simply too weak to represent even the slightest of threats.

"Hu Yi... What kind of jokes are you playing? These weak players almost defeated a Saint grade boss? They almost killed the Abyssal Dragon? I thought you were a serious person and even more so under this circumstance." The emperor frowned and looked at King Hu Yi with a slightly disgusted look.

King Hu Yi was dumbfounded and for a moment did not know what to say. He had not even in his wildest dreams expected that the emperor would not only disbelieve him but also ignore the players with disdain.
