Eternal Holy Emperor
Chapter 429 - 382: The Wrath of Ye Chen!

Chapter 429: Chapter 382: The Wrath of Ye Chen!

The newcomers were a group of young men, each with an extraordinary air of elegance and a distinguished demeanor, their cultivation formidable, garbed in either splendid attire or remarkable battle armor. One look was enough to tell that they hailed from major forces.

Unabashedly, they cut straight to the front of the line, claiming the first spot. The leader amongst them was especially imposing and strikingly handsome, draped in blue battle armor, and carried himself with great arrogance, addressing the staff at the Military Merit Hall, "Quickly assist us in exchanging for military merits. We wish to enter the Treasure Hall to select treasures."

Each staff member of the Military Merit Hall was a stunningly beautiful woman, dressed exquisitely, their graceful figures and captivating faces pleasing to the eye. However, they couldn’t help but frown at the sight of these young elites’ queue-jumping behavior, their pretty eyebrows knitting. With a slight part of their red lips, they said, "Young masters, please line up as everyone else. Queue-jumping is not permitted, as it is against the rules of the Military Merit Hall."

Those lined up behind couldn’t help but frown and look over, harboring no good will, and even some disgust, towards these young elites.

Everyone else had been patiently abiding by the rules, queuing up, and yet these men were breaking them, causing resentment among those who had been waiting in line for a long time.

The leader in blue armor’s expression turned sour as he said, "I have no wish for further idle talk. Exchange the military merits for me at once."

But the staff’s voice turned colder, "I’m sorry, but the rules of the Military Merit Hall cannot be broken. Please line up, and do not attempt to disrupt the order, or I will have to call the guards to take you away."

The young man in blue armor’s expression chilled, and another person by his side scoffed, "My dear lady, I would advise you against such actions. Do you know who this man before you is? He is Luo Jun; his father is even more significant—a commander of the Third Army of the Green Sun Army, Luo Tianxiong. To offend him is as good as offending Commander Luo Tianxiong himself, and that would be no small matter."

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression changed. No wonder this blue-armored young elite was so brazen: he had such a powerful backing.

The Green Sun Domain’s military was comprised of thirty-eight major armies; each commander of these armies was a person of real power and authority, wielding influence over many, commanding millions of warriors, and possessed extraordinary strength, being one of the high-ranking members of the camp.

This young man was Luo Jun, the beloved son of the Third Army’s Commander Luo Tianxiong, who essentially had free rein over the entire Green Sun Camp. Naturally, he was not someone to be trifled with.

Even the beautiful staff of the Military Merit Hall were wary, not daring to look at him with anger, fearful of the repercussions.

Such figures stood high above, and to them, these women were nothing more than ants, unworthy of consideration.

Delighted by this scene, Luo Jun couldn’t help but burst into hearty laughter, "As I said, I’m cutting in line. What can any of you do about it?"

"You—"

Many soldiers in line behind were angry but dared not speak, all intimidated by his father, Luo Tianxiong.

Ye Chen, who was behind in the line, furrowed his brows and spoke, "This kind of queue-jumping is excessive, don’t you think? Everyone is supposed to queue up."

Luo Jun turned back, giving Ye Chen a cold look, and said icily, "Does this young master need your guidance? What do you count for? Nothing but a kitten or puppy, and furthermore, with your face hidden, probably just an ugly monster. Get lost. I’m in a good mood today and don’t want to lay a hand on you. Otherwise, I would have crippled you already."

Ye Chen’s frown deepened, and a flash of cold light passed through his eyes.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry and test my military merit value already," Luo Jun said to the dumbstruck staff, his voice icy.

The staff, not daring to oppose Luo Jun, quickly took his Military Merit Token and placed it on the Divine Platform to begin the testing of military merits.

Young Master Jun, leading the army personally into the Domain Battlefield this time, though you didn’t venture too deep, you eradicated several scouting forces from the Blood Origin Domain and even slew some of their thousand-man leaders. You’re bound to receive a high military merit, possibly enough to exchange for treasures from the Earth-level Region," said a few of the other young elites beside Luo Jun, all laughing and talking.

"Haha, let’s not get too ahead of ourselves. Every treasure in the Earth-level Region is precious, and even my father wouldn’t dare claim he could exchange for one. But this time, I might even be able to exchange for treasures from the Mystic-level Region. Just so happens I’m missing a main ingredient, to have my father forge a Divine Sword for me," Luo Jun laughed heartily, his tone full of pride.

Even treasures from the Mystic-level Region were quite valuable.

Boom—

The Military Merit Token on the Divine Platform started to shine with a dazzling light, merging into the lightscreen atop the Heavenly Dome. Quickly, a number appeared on the large screen—

Thirteen thousand seven hundred fifty-four!

While many were not fond of Luo Jun’s character, this value still made many take in a sharp breath.

On the Domain Battlefield, acquiring military merits could be said to be simple but also could be considered very difficult.

The simplicity lies in the fact that, for every enemy killed, one could gain military merits. The difficulty lies in that killing an ordinary enemy soldier yields only one point of military merit.

Perhaps earning military merits was easy, but acquiring a significant amount of military merits was quite hard.

One point for an enemy soldier, twenty points for a squad leader, fifty points for a hundred-man leader, five hundred points for a thousand-man leader.

So on and so forth, the higher the enemy leader, the higher the value. Or the stronger the enemy combatant slain, the higher the merit points.

Legend has it that if one could slay a Saint from the enemy forces, a single person could obtain a frighteningly high amount of over a million military merits.

Young Master Luo Jun’s Military Merit Token displayed over thirteen thousand seven hundred points, indicating the staggering number of enemies he had killed, including several important generals.

Seeing this number, Luo Jun couldn’t help but burst into hearty laughter. With such a score, he could already exchange it for some of the treasures he desired.

"Young Master Luo Jun, this is your Military Merit," the lovely receptionist warned. "You have reached the limit of ten thousand points for the Mystic-level Region, which allows you to select treasures from within that area, but you mustn’t exceed your Military Merit points."

"Does this young master need your guidance?"

Luo Jun snorted coldly, but his mood was good. He took the Military Merit Token and was about to leave when, for some reason, the token suddenly fell to the ground.

He frowned slightly. Although he found it odd, he didn’t pay it much mind and was about to pick up his Military Merit Token when suddenly a foot stretched out and stepped on it.

"Don’t!" Luo Jun’s face changed color.

But it was all too late!

Crack—

A clear, crisp sound -- Luo Jun’s Military Merit Token completely shattered, breaking into pieces!

Everyone watching this sudden development was dumbstruck, especially when they saw that the person who stepped on it was the black-robed figure who had been cut in line.

The feeling among the crowd was mostly one of satisfaction.

They had long harbored resentment towards Luo Jun. The destruction of his Military Merit Token meant that all his hard-earned Military Merit was gone in an instant, a significant blow indeed.

Let this brat be arrogant; now he’s suffering from his own success.

Luo Jun’s expression turned utterly dark as he turned to face the black-robed figure, unable to restrain himself from bellowing, "You bastard, daring to crush this young master’s Military Merit Token. Today, I will let you understand the consequences of crossing me!"

He was instantly livid. The loss of over thirteen thousand Military Merit in a flash sent him into a rage. He disregarded the fact that this place was the sacred Military Merit Hall and lashed out at Ye Chen.

With a raise of his hand, he unleashed a swath of sharp Sword Radiance, sweeping across with the vow to shred Ye Chen into pieces and quell the hatred in his heart.

"Young Master Luo, the Military Merit Hall is a sanctum; you must not strike," the receptionist urgently said.

"Get lost, what sanctum? Today, I must kill this guy. Whoever dares to stop me will be killed," Luo Jun said arrogantly. Wave after wave of Sword Radiance flew out directly, slashing towards Ye Chen.

He was very powerful, having broken through the Demigod Realm to reach the Divinity Transformation Realm, a considerable expert in his own right, with an effortless command of the Dao Trace Laws, not something the common man could withstand.

Unfortunately for him, Ye Chen was no common man. With a casual palm strike, a circle of invisible ripples spread out, dissipating all the Sword Radiance, and said, "Is this all you have?"

Luo Jun was taken aback, aware that he might have encountered a tough opponent. It was unexpected that a mere wave of a hand could neutralize his Sword Radiance attack, something not even an ordinary Divinity Transformation Expert could do.

But he was not afraid and swiftly brought out a powerful Daoist Soldier, a Treasure Wheel entwined with rays of light and bursting with Dao Trace Divine Principles, sweeping across to lock onto Ye Chen.

"The Luotian Divine Wheel, isn’t that Luo Tianxiong’s Daoist Soldier? He actually gave it to Luo Jun to use. The black-robed person is in trouble now."

Many changed color upon seeing this. Luo Tianxiong was a fierce figure in the Green Sun Camp, a Divinity Transformation Perfection master nearing the brink of becoming an almighty Semi-Saint.

His Daoist Soldier was equally powerful, having battled for many years, cutting down many Divinity Transformation Experts, even consuming the treasure blood of peak Divinity Transformation Experts, possessing a demonic aura. Now, as it awakened, it unleashed a terrifying might, as if Luo Tianxiong himself was making a move, immensely horrifying.

If not for the Military Merit Hall’s exceptional fortitude and layers of protective Array Patterns, it would have already collapsed.

But at this moment, it shook violently.

Boom—

The Luotian Treasure Wheel swept across, and instantly beams of Light of Destruction blasted forth, recklessly bombarding everything. The entire Military Merit Hall trembled and rumbled as though it were on the verge of collapse.

Even the solid gates were blown away and smashed to pieces. Many people hastily retreated, but still, a fair number were caught in the path of the Luotian Treasure Wheel, struck down and splattered blood where they fell.

Ye Chen dodged with lightning speed and said, "Are there no high-ranking individuals guarding within the Military Merit Hall? Allowing this man to wreak havoc as he pleases?"

"You better run quickly. One of the nine elders guarding the hall, the Seventh Elder, has a private understanding with Luo Tianxiong and has condoned all of this. It’s best you don’t stay here, or you’ll end up in trouble," someone secretly conveyed, with the good intention of informing him.

"Hmph, typical officials protecting their own, conspiring in secret!"

Ye Chen remained silent, his black robe fluttering without wind, making a swishing sound. His pair of cold eyes settled on Luo Jun and he said icily, "You have angered me. Today, you will surely die!"
