The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 831 The True Ruler of the World

"Your Majesty, the strength of the Heavenly Demon Sect should not be underestimated. They are lurking throughout the Ming Dynasty, secretly developing their power, and have already posed a huge threat!" Lu Bing said with a serious expression.

"I want to see just who this Heavenly Demon Sect really is!" A murderous glint flashed in Zhu Xiong Ying's eyes. "Issue my decree: the Embroidered Uniform Guard must investigate the Heavenly Demon Sect with all their might and wipe them out in one fell swoop!"

"Your subject obeys the decree!" Lu Bing accepted the order and left.

Zhu Xiong Ying stood atop the city wall, gazing into the distance, his heart churning with turbulent emotions. He had thought he had reached the pinnacle of the world, but the emergence of the Heavenly Demon Sect made him realize that the challenges he faced had only just begun.

Just then, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in the sky, and a huge figure fell from the sky and crashed heavily onto the city wall.

Dust billowed, and when it settled, a giant clad in golden armor and wielding a massive axe appeared before the crowd.

The giant was ten zhang tall, exuding a terrifying aura. His blood-red eyes were fixed on Zhu Xiong Ying, and he roared deafeningly, "Zhu Xiong Ying, prepare to die!"

The giant roared, swinging its massive axe with the force to split mountains and shatter rocks, aiming for Zhu Xiong Ying. Zhu Xiong Ying sneered, dodging the giant's attack with a swift movement.

"A mere trick, yet you dare to show off your meager skills before an expert?" Zhu Xiong Ying said disdainfully.

With a flick of his right hand, a golden light flashed, and the giant's arm snapped off. The giant roared in agony, blood gushing out.

"Who...who are you?" the giant asked in terror.

"I am the Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty, Zhu Xiong Ying!" Zhu Xiong Ying declared proudly.

"The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty? Impossible! How could the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty have such great power?" the giant said incredulously.

"How could you barbarians possibly comprehend my strength?" Zhu Xiong Ying sneered and attacked again.

This time, he cut off the giant's other arm as well. The giant, now without arms, collapsed to his knees, his eyes filled with terror.

"Spare me! Spare me!" the giant pleaded desperately.

"I never accept surrender!" Zhu Xiong Ying said coldly, slapping the giant's head with his palm.

The giant's head exploded instantly, splattering blood everywhere.

Upon seeing this, the crowd on the city wall cheered and shouted "Long live the Emperor!"

"The Emperor is mighty!"

"Your Majesty is incredibly brave!"

Zhu Xiong Ying stood proudly, looking down at the crowd, his heart filled with smugness.

"I am the true ruler of this world!"

Just then, several more beams of light appeared in the sky, and several more giants descended from the heavens.

"Zhu Xiong Ying, you killed my people, today I will make you pay for your crimes in blood!" roared the leading giant.

"Well done!" A hint of excitement flashed in Zhu Xiong Ying's eyes. "I was just worried about not having any rivals!"

A war is about to break out.

Zhu Xiong Ying fought against multiple opponents without being at a disadvantage. His figure moved like a ghost among the giants, and with each strike, a giant fell.

Although the giants were tall and strong, they were as vulnerable as children in front of Zhu Xiong Ying.

Before long, all the giants were killed by Zhu Xiong Ying.

Zhu Xiong Ying stood atop the city wall, surveying all directions with pride, his heart filled with boundless pride.

"Who else?"

His voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

No one responded.

Zhu Xiong Ying's reputation has been deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts.

From this day forward, no one will dare to challenge his authority.

"Your Majesty, where did these giants come from?" Lu Bing stepped forward and asked.

"I don't know either," Zhu Xiong Ying shook his head. "However, I have a feeling that this is just the beginning."

"Your Majesty means..." Lu Bing's expression was solemn. "I think this world is far more complex than we imagine." Zhu Xiong Ying gazed into the distance, a profound light flashing in his eyes. "Perhaps, in some corner of the world, there are still many more secrets that we do not know."

"Your Majesty is wise," Lu Bing said, bowing.

"Issue my decree to strengthen and closely monitor all suspicious persons," Zhu Xiong Ying ordered.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Zhu Xiong Ying stood on the city wall, gazing into the distance, her heart filled with anticipation.

He knew that his journey had only just begun.

He will conquer the world!
The conquest began in the north.

"Pass down the order: the army will rest for three days, and then march north!" Zhu Xiong Ying said loudly.

"Your Majesty, the northern lands are harsh and cold, and resources are scarce. Our army is deep behind enemy lines, and the supply of provisions may become a problem," a minister said worriedly.

"It's alright." Zhu Xiong Ying waved his hand. "I have my own way."

He smiled mysteriously, a sly glint in his eyes.

Three days later, the army set off, marching north in a grand procession.

They encountered no resistance along the way.

The northern tribes, having heard of Zhu Xiong Ying's formidable reputation, were terrified and fled in droves.

Zhu Xiong Ying led his army, advancing triumphantly, and soon arrived at the shore of Beihai.

Standing on the shore, Zhu Xiong Ying gazed at the vast sea, his heart filled with pride.

"I will conquer this sea!"

With a wave of his hand, he ordered the construction of warships.

Countless craftsmen worked day and night, and soon a massive fleet was built.

Zhu Xiong Ying led the fleet, set sail, and headed towards the unknown ocean.

He was going to seek new land, new wealth, and new challenges.

His goal is to conquer the whole world!

The fleet sailed at sea for several days before finally arriving at an unfamiliar land.

This land is covered in ice and snow, and rarely visited by people.

"Is this the Arctic region?" Zhu Xiong Ying looked at the scene before her, her heart filled with curiosity.

Just then, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in the sky...

As the light faded, an elderly man with white hair and a youthful face, dressed in a white robe, appeared in the air. He held a wooden staff, exuding an air of otherworldly grace, like a celestial being.

"Who are you?" Zhu Xiong Ying squinted, sizing up the old man.

The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile, "I am the Immortal of the North Pole, and I have come here to welcome His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty."

"Welcome?" Zhu Xiong Ying sneered. "I suspect you've come with ill intentions."

"Your Majesty misunderstands," the Old Man of the North Pole said with a smile. "I only wish to remind Your Majesty that the North Pole is a blessed land for our immortal family. Please stop here and do not disturb our peaceful cultivation."

"A blessed land of immortals?" Zhu Xiong Ying laughed loudly. "I think it's a barbarian land! This place is covered in ice and snow, and not a blade of grass grows. What blessings can one enjoy here?"

“Your Majesty may not know this,” the Arctic Immortal’s expression changed slightly, “This Arctic region is rich in spiritual energy, making it an excellent place for us to cultivate.”

"Spiritual energy?" Zhu Xiong Ying curled his lip in disdain. "How come I didn't sense it?"

"Your Majesty is but a mortal, so naturally you cannot sense it," the Old Man of the North Pole said calmly. "Your Majesty, please leave immediately, or do not blame me for being rude."

"Insolence?" A cold glint flashed in Zhu Xiong Ying's eyes. "I'd like to see just how insolent you are!"
