Chapter 1756 Imperial Weapon

"Why didn't you call Su Xuan over?" Ma Long asked casually.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, King Su Xuan just left the fortress today," Cang Ri replied respectfully.

"Where have you gone?"

Before Cang Ri could answer, Ma Long asked again, "What is his relationship with the Heavenly King?"

He had never received any information about this King Su Xuan.

Ma Long's gaze unconsciously sharpened as he looked at Cang Yi.

"King Su Xuan went out today, saying he was going to find some supplies to replenish the Blue Armor Army's provisions. As for his relationship with King Cangtian...!"

Cang Ri paused, knowing only that the Heavenly Emperor had instructed him to hand over the Blue Armor to King Su Xuan…

This alone suggests that the two had a close relationship.

Cang Ri was about to answer when he looked up and suddenly met Ma Long's gaze.

The other person's gaze was intense and expectant, a stark contrast to their previous nonchalant demeanor...

"Reporting to Your Excellency, how dare I inquire about matters concerning the King?" Cang Ri said.

Although Ma Long is of noble status, Su Xuan is the current Blue Armor King.

Throughout his life, Cang Ri was loyal only to the Heavenly King.

Heaven ordained him to obey Su Xuan, therefore Su Xuan is now his only master...

At this moment, Ma Long's performance aroused some doubt in Cang Yi's mind.

Upon hearing this, Ma Long frowned, sensing that Cang Ri was hiding something.

"When will Su Xuan evolve into a monarch?" Ma Long asked again.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, King Su Xuan has recently evolved to the King level!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Long felt inexplicably relieved.

If it is just a newly enthroned monarch, then there is nothing to worry about.

"I want to take a walk around Blue Armor Fortress. General Cang Ri, may I ask where the Azure Sky King once resided?"

Malone finally revealed the purpose of his visit.

“My lord…!” Cang Ri looked up, his expression changing.

“Don’t worry, I just heard that the Blue Armor Army is lax in discipline, so I went for a casual stroll and, when I get back to the First Domain, I’ll put in a good word for them,” Ma Long said.

The Blue Armor Army's lax discipline is common knowledge among the human race, and when Ma Long mentions it, it's met with strong reprimand.

Malone remained calm and had already stood up.

Cang Ri understood that he could not stop it, neither in terms of identity nor strength.

He smiled and said, "Sir, I will lead the way for you."

"Thank you!" Malone said gently, taking a step forward.

His imposing figure exuded no air of authority, and his golden armor rustled with each step.

Cang Yi lagged half a step behind, pointing the way for Ma Long.

Soon, they arrived at the palace of the Azure Sky.

Cang Ri seemed to want to say something, but Ma Long had already stepped through the door.

His spiritual power instantly enveloped the entire palace; not a single blade of grass, not even a speck of dust could escape his spiritual perception.

The entire royal palace appeared even more luxurious and magnificent than his own palace.

Many of the ornaments are crafted from extremely rare and extraordinary metals, along with treasures such as amethyst and divine essence.

Soon, he saw a bedroom...

In front of a dressing table, there was actually a divine foundation of a second-level god!

A chair cushion was actually filled with feathers from a god-level angel.

Even the carpet in that bedroom was made from the hide of a dog-headed god…

A box of rouge powder, imbued with the essence and blood of the Wood Clan's gods...

A mere embroidery needle was radiating the light of a divine artifact...

Everything was neat and tidy, yet it also carried an air of vicissitude.

It seems to have existed for billions of years!

Ma Long was lost in thought for a moment.

In my imagination, she should be an evolution fanatic.

But in reality, everything was completely different from what I imagined...

The sky seemed more like an extremely extravagant woman, making Malone feel that she was unfathomable.

"She is definitely not from this era; she is very likely from ancient times, perhaps... she comes from the distant past!"

"I was wrong, I guessed everything wrong...!"

Judging from those precious antiques, she was very old, definitely not someone who evolved into an emperor only after the human race received a great opportunity, as imagined...

"Perhaps, the heavens themselves are a great opportunity, but no one has discovered it...!" Malone murmured.

"She has always been the Empress of Heaven!"

Malone suddenly felt fortunate; now, fate had turned against him.

The war among the myriad races in the Ninth Great Domain has ended, and everything is over...

He was also somewhat disappointed, for for millions of years he had been searching for a way to evolve into an emperor.

Countless SSS-grade amethyst crystals, countless pieces of alien flesh, divine foundations, elixirs...

I don't know how much I've expended, but I still can't take that step.

Even though his current combat power is enough to rival that of a fifth-level god, he is still a monarch.

Over the years, he experienced countless cycles of hope and despair, with no one to guide him on his path.

Malone quickly adjusted his mood and once again exuded gentleness.

He slowly turned around and looked at Cang Ri: "Give my regards to King Su Xuan."

"My lord, are you leaving already?" Cang Ri's face showed reluctance and a desire to persuade him to stay.

At this moment, although Cang Ri still did not know the purpose of Ma Long's visit, he roughly guessed that he had obtained some kind of answer at the Cang Tian King's Palace and did not intend to continue to entangle himself with him.

As for whether this number one human would provide support to Lan Jia... Cang Ri never dared to hope for that.

The fall of the Red Armor in the Eighth Battlefield and the Silver Armor in the Tenth Battlefield has already explained everything...

"The golden-armored guards are on the front lines of humanity, facing far greater challenges than you can imagine. I bear the weight of humanity on my shoulders; every day I leave their side is a day of danger," Ma Long said with righteous indignation.

After saying this, he slowly walked towards the outside of the fortress.

"Respectfully seeing off Your Excellency!" Cang Ri stood still and bowed deeply.

Just as Malone reached the teleportation plaza and was about to step inside, he suddenly looked up, his eyes widening in surprise…

He hadn't noticed before that the top of the defensive shield above the entire Blue Armor First Fortress wasn't the Heavenly Barrier Pearl he had imagined.

Although it was also a bright pearl, and its aura was extremely similar to that of the Heavenly Barrier Pearl...

But at that moment, Malone still noticed something different...

"An imperial artifact?"

A terrifying aura was hidden within that pearl.

If it were an ordinary being, or even an alien ancestral god, it would be difficult to detect the aura of an imperial artifact unless one paid special attention.

Ma Long was able to sense it simply because, as the number one human in the world, he also possessed an imperial artifact!

Earth Emperor Cauldron!

At this moment, an unprecedented excitement immediately emanated from Ma Long.

The feigned gentleness instantly transformed into greed.

"Is it a clan-protecting artifact forged by another ancient emperor?"

"This trip was worthwhile, and the days I spent were not in vain!"

Malone slowly raised his palm and pointed at the protective shield above his head. The next moment, boom!

The entire Blue Armor First Fortress trembled violently, and then the quiet military camp instantly erupted into chaos.

"Enemy attack——!"

"Gather up—quickly, everyone gather here—!"

"Which race has breached the first fortress this time? Didn't they just repel the Greys?"

Countless blue-armored soldiers rushed out of their tents, staring in shock at the area outside the city's protective barrier.
