This imperial carriage had a Purple Moon Empire flag stuck on it, fluttering in the wind and appearing grand and imposing.
Someone who was especially responsible for dealing with the aftermath said, “Masters of the houses, please follow me immediately to the imperial palace to receive compensation. Compensation is based on three the times the value of the house, we definitely won’t mistreat everyone.”
Once those words were said, the house owners whose houses had been dismantled were all overjoyed, praising Fatty Ma one after another.
“Hm!” Feng Po Yun’s focused his gaze and stared at the imperial carriage. “Let’s follow it and check it out,” he immediately said.
“What’s there to look at, it’s only a junior who’s been sealed for many years.” Yi Shuang Shuang interrupted, staring at Hu Niu. “Little girl, hurry up and acknowledge me as your master.”
She still thought of it constantly.
“Pah!” Hu Niu stuck out her small tongue, made a face, and then hid behind Ling Han’s back.
“Little girl, one day, you’ll obediently call me master!” Yi Shuang Shuang smiled mischievously, seeming to quite certain.
Ling Han and Zhu Xuan Er caught up to Feng Po Yun and followed along the imperial carriage.
Dismantling houses along its path, the imperial carriage was heading towards the imperial palace.
“Big Brother, did you discover something?” Ling Han asked.
Feng Po Yun pointed at the imperial carriage, and said, “I discovered a strong presence inside, but it also seems not to exist at all. It’s extremely strange.”
Being able to make Feng Po Yun say powerful, it was definitely truly powerful.
Ling Han thought shortly, and said, “Could it be Fatty Ma inside?” Ma Duo Bao was unfathomable, fitting Feng Po Yun’s contradictory statement of powerful and nonexistent.
When the imperial carriage arrived at the imperial palace gates, it finally stopped.
Ling Han and the others stood and watched on a tall building, and in a short while, a fragrant breeze came by—Yi Shuang Shuang also appeared, her red hair fluttering in the breeze, charming like a rose, extremely stunning.
“Beauty, can’t you stay a little further away from us?” Ling Han said.
“This lady likes it. Can you control me?” Yi Shuang Shuang stretched, and her ample and impressive physique was instantly fully displayed with this movement—especially those surging breasts, looking as if they were about to jump out, making those who watched blush.
“Ugly monster!” Hu Niu said resentfully.
“Hmm, Fatty Ma came out!” Ling Han was astounded—he saw Ma Duo bao walk out from the imperial palace. This meant that the person inside the imperial carriage wasn’t the fatso.
The Fatty Ma now was different from before. He wore a dragon robe and a flat top crown, and was unexpectedly filled with grandeur. However, when matched with his perfectly round belly, this emperor’s imposing presence instantly reduced drastically.
Behind Ma Duo Bao was a large group of civil and military officials.
Ma Duo Bao took a glance at where Ling Han and the others stood and revealed a smile, clearly having discovered them, but he didn’t react, and said in a loud voice, “Welcome the Lunar King!”
“Welcome the Lunar King!” the officials all shouted loudly.
The imperial carriage opened, and what came out wasn’t a person, but a… casket!
It was a half transparent jade casket, and a girl in a red dress that lay inside could be indistinctly seen, but her appearance couldn’t be clearly seen at all.
Ling Han felt it somewhat strange. Ma Duo Bao brought out the military officials to greet a dead person? No, Feng Po Yun said he’d felt a powerful presence, so that person inside the casket probably wasn’t dead, but also seemed nonexistent; was it because she lay inside the casket?
Ma Duo Bao walked over, and said in a deep voice, “Open the casket.”
This was a little terrifying. Were you guys grave robbers?
There were four old men wearing top hats, which were entirely white, and who kept a long beard, looking as if they were some sort of special priest. They surrounded the jade casket and reached out one another, aiming hand seals at the jade casket.
As they moved, flashes of light entered the jade casket, and vein-like patterns immediately lit up on the body of the casket. The entire casket became brighter and brighter, and more and more transparent.
Ling Han could clearly see that a girl indeed lay inside the casket. She looked at most around twenty years old and her eyes were tightly shut, just as if she was sleeping. She was stunningly beautiful, her red lips like fire, her black hair like ink, and her skin pure white, forming an intense contrast.
However, the casket seemed to be filled with some sort of liquid that kept flowing as if it had life, appearing extremely eerie.
After a long while, Ling Han also felt a powerful presence emitting from within the casket, but it immediately disappeared again.
He was astounded. If martial artists didn’t intentionally suppress it, they would emit powerful aura all the time, but if she were to suppress it, then no aura should be emitted at all; however, under normal conditions, it should be felt constantly.
Too strange!
After the four priests made hand seals for a while, the entire jade casket was filled with glowing vein-like patterns, stunningly resplendent.
Ma Duo Bao walked forward, and said again, “Welcome the Lunar King!”
“Welcome the Lunar King!” the military officials also shouted once again.
The four priests lifted the casket lid, and a substance, hard to capture by the naked eye, surged out from within it as if water evaporated into vapor, disappearing rapidly.
The casket lid opened and was placed to the side.
Pa , the person in the casket opened both eyes.

Ling Han instinctively felt an intense chill well up, feeling only pins and needles.
With his eyesight, he could discern that the jade casket was definitely an antique buried underground for countless years, and he could even see the dirt that hadn’t been cleaned off and was at least several tens of millennia old.
The casket was constantly sealed until the moment it opened earlier; only then did the mysterious substance flow out. In other words, the person in the casket should’ve been buried for the same amount of time as the casket.
Tens of millennia; this girl died countless times, but now she actually opened her eyes. Could this not make one feel pins and needles?
“It’s this substance that can seal the body’s life force, without a shred of it spilling over,” Feng Po Yun said, his gaze burning bright.
Ling Han came to a realization. No wonder someone buried for tens of millennia would suddenly open their eyes; that explained it.
“Wrong, wrong, not without a shred of spillover.” Yi Shuang Shuang shook her head. “That’s called Time Liquid, and it indeed can be used to seal living creatures, allowing the living creature’s passing of time to be slowed extremely and live out a very long time relative to its limited lifespan. However, it only slows the passage of time, and doesn’t stop it, so life force is still fading away, just extremely slowly, and depending on the quality of the Time Liquid, it can be slowed by one hundred to one hundred thousand times.”
Ling Han and the three others were all shocked. Even if it could only slow time by one hundred times, then wouldn’t a Shattering Void Tier elite be able to “live” up to a hundred millennia? Of course, living like this was no different from a dead person, because the flesh and divine sense would have no sensation.
“How do you know, could you also be an old monster like this?” Ling Han asked.
“Old, old monster?” Yi Shuang Shuang was like a cat that had its tail stepped on, instantly bursting her fuse, and said, “Damn brat, do your eyes have problems, where is this lady old?
Look at this skin, how fine and smooth, and look at these breasts, is there any bit of drooping? And this buttocks, perky and so fine!”
Hu Niu covered her eyes, shaking her head repeatedly, and said, “Dirty, too dirty, its affecting Niu’s pure heart!”
Ling Han came to realize that what Yi Shuang Shuang said was right—that was why he could only occasionally feel the aura emitted by the person in casket. It wasn’t that the person was intentionally suppressing it, but rather her passing of time was too slow, resulting in the presence she emitted being felt only after a long time.
When they were talking, the girl inside the jade casket abruptly stood up and stretched, instantly displaying the curves on her body, filled with alluringness, making the military officials blush, turn their faces, or cover their eyes. Immediately, the atmosphere became confusing.
“Beloved general!” Ma Duo Bao said with a smile.
The girl in the casket glanced at Ma Duo Bao, revealed an astonished look, and said unsurely, “My Emperor?”
“It is your emperor.” Ma Duo Bao nodded.
The girl in the casket was taken aback, suddenly bursting into laughter, even tearing up, and kept hitting the edge of the casket. “Hahahaha, I’m dying of laughter! I’m dying of laughter! Your majesty, how did you become so disgusting?”
The military officials’ expressions were all twisted, resisting the urge to laugh.
Ma Duo Bao coughed, and said seriously, “Isn’t this emperor still dignified and imposing, cutting quite the figure?”
The girl in the casket was still laughing with tears, as if it couldn’t be stopped, and after a good while, she said, “Heavenly Astral King and Earth Overturning King, have they seen your majesty’s look yet?”
“Lunar King, beloved general, give this emperor some face, there are still outsiders here!” Ma Duo Bao said.
The girl in the casket, Lunar King, jumped out from the casket, glanced towards where Ling Han and the four others were, immediately retracting her gaze, and muttered, “Since your majesty turned into a damned fatty, then what about this king’s appearance?”
She swiped with her hand and chilling air immediately gathered, forming an ice mirror before her.
“Ah!” She immediately let out a scream, and then burst into a towering rage, shouting, “Your Majesty, what did you promise this king?”
“Hmm? What did I promise?” Ma Duo Bao appeared very innocent.
“You said, when this king reappears again, appearance wouldn’t be changed at all! But look, this king is clearly older by two years! Two years!” Lunar King looked angry to the point of killing someone.
“This…” Ma Duo Bao waved his hand, and said, “This emperor didn’t think of it. Slept a little too long, and if it weren’t for the earthquake that awakened this emperor first, perhaps this emperor would sleep for several tens of millennia more.”
“Then wouldn’t it be possible that this king would’ve become an old lady when waking up!?” Lunar King became frantic. “You damned fatty, this king will beat you up for daring to make this king age two years!”
She was truly formidable, immediately charging towards Ma Duo Bao.
Hong , the terrifying aura fluctuated, and the entire imperial city became extremely chilly. Snowflakes fluttered in the sky, and with a close look, every snowflake was branded with martial intent, with vein-like patterns glowing on it!
If these snowflakes blew onto people, even Heaven Tier elites were guaranteed to die.
“Lunar King, you’re crazy!” Ma Duo Bao hurriedly extended his hand towards the sky and made the snowflakes flow in reverse, or else if the snowflakes landed on the ground, living beings would definitely be plunged into misery and suffering.
“You don’t know that girls go crazy easily?” Lunar King roared angrily. “Give this king back her youth!” She struck violently, and the might of a Shattering Void Tier fully unleashed was shockingly terrifying.
“Ninth layer of the Shattering Void Tier!” Feng Po Yun said in a low voice, appearing extremely serious.
This was the pinnacle of martial arts in the vast lands and the pinnacle of humanity, and surpassing this tier, one could either suppress it or be ejected from the realm.
Ma Duo Bao only defended and didn’t attack; each move and style was powerful and momentous, showing the royal presence of an emperor.
“Alright, alright, Lunar King, there are guests!” He tried to exhort her.
Lunar King wasn’t willing to stop, and said, “Unless you let this king kick your fat face twice, this king won’t stop her anger.”
Ma Duo Bao smiled embarrassingly, and said, “Beloved general, this emperor is the master of an empire anyhow, it’s not too good doing this, right?”
“Then give back this king her youth!” Lunar King said furiously.
“You just look two years older? Now you’re even more beautiful,” Ma Duo Bao shouted.
Lunar King immediately stopped fighting, and said, “This king is even more beautiful?”
“Of course!” Ma Duo Bao said seriously, and then turned to say to the military officials. “All my beloved subjects, isn’t Lunar King more beautiful?”
“Yes!” The military officials nodded their heads hurriedly one after another.
Lunar King looked at herself in the mirror for a while again, and said smilingly, “This king also thinks herself more beautiful.”
Ma Duo Bao let out a sigh of relief; this stage was passed at last. He looked towards Ling Han, waved his hand, and said, “Tanned brother, since you’ve come, why not get together?”
Ling Han looked towards Feng Po Yun, who nodded his head. They’d originally decided to meet with Ma Duo Bao anyway.
The four of them leapt down, while Yi Shuang Shuang also jumped down like she wasn’t a stranger and walked along with them.
“Fatty Ma… hehe, respects to your majesty!” Ling Han cupped his hands in obeisance.
“Stop it, stop it, you aren’t subjects of my empire, no need to be overly courteous,” Ma Duo Bao said with a smile. His gaze stopped shortly on Feng Po Yun, but was fixed on Yi Shuang Shuang. His dragon robe swayed, vein-like patterns glowed, as he seemed about to attack.

“Your Majesty, allow this king!” Lunar King rushed forth. “Although Your Majesty turned into a damned fatty, Your Majesty is still my emperor after all, so how could this king allow Your Majesty to personally attack!”
“Beloved general!” Ma Duo Bao couldn’t help but be moved.
“This king hates the most women that are both beautiful and strong!” Lunar King went on.
The corner of Ma Duo Bao’s mouth twitched. “Beloved general, it would be fine if you just consoled this emperor, but why must you lay it bare?”
Yi Shuang Shuang giggled, and said, “Although this lady considers herself the number one beauty in the world, compared to this girl, I’m way far off. Aren’t you targeting the wrong person? She pointed at Zhu Xuan Er.
Lunar King looked at Zhu Xuan Er and couldn’t help but be stunned, and said, “Your Majesty, this girl is exceedingly beautiful, why not take her as the empress?”
“Hehe, this is tanned brother’s wife, how could This Emperor seize someone else’s fancy!” Ma Duo Bao said with a smile. He looked at Yi Shuang Shuang, and said, “You have a scent that doesn’t belong to this world.”
“Tsk, the big fatty is not simple as expected!” Yi Shuang Shuang didn’t deny it, and said, “You guys are old antiques buried for several hundred millennia, and this lady’s been locked for several hundred millennia, about the same.”
‘Damn, all at freakish level!
“You give this emperor a sense of danger,” Ma Duo Bao said solemnly. “This Emperor feels that all my strength would be needed to suppress you.”
Lunar King was shocked, since she knew just how powerful her emperor’s strength was.
Yi Shuang Shuang waved her hand in a r
ush, and said, “Don’t, this lady has no ambitions and no ill intent, just strolling casually, harmless to anyone. No need to care about this lady.”
“Oh?” Ling Han rolled his eyes.
“Hehe!” Yi Shuang SHuang laughed dryly. “You’re an exception.”
“Come, tanned brother, drink with This Emperor. This Emperor believes you should’ve many questions,” Ma Duo Bao said with a smile.
Everyone entered the imperial palace. Ma Duo Bao ordered people to set up a feast in the middle of the imperial garden. He sat in the host’s seat, and then seated Feng Po Yun, Ling Han and the others from there, while Lunar King sat at the last seat.
“Tanned brother, what do you have to ask This Emperor?”
Ling Han thought shortly, and said, “What period are you guys from exactly?”
“Hehe, this’ll be kept a secret for the time being!” Ma Duo Bao shook his head. “When this emperor’s eight kings all come into the world and unify the world, you’ll realize naturally.”
Feng Po Yun interrupted, “When I was in the desolate north, I encountered a silver-colored great spider that reached the strongest level of this world, and its battle prowess… is possibly nearing god level.”
“Oh?” Ma Duo Bao’s eyes lit up. “This Emperor just so happens to be missing a mount.”
“Hahaha, a damned fatty riding a spider, that scene would definitely be funny.” Lunar King immediately pulled the rug out.
“That large spider oversees an ancient land, the bottom of which is an ancient mausoleum buried with at least several hundred Shattering Void Tiers that are dead but not extinguished, as if they turned into some sort of dead spirit,” Feng Po Yun continued.
Ma Duo Bao instantly revealed a cautious look and began to ponder.
Lunar King’s beautiful eyes turned as she said, “Your Majesty, could these people have cultivated the underworld’s mystic arts to become gods as corpses?”
“Extremely possible!” Ma Duo Bao nodded. “This is somewhat troublesome.”
“What’s to become gods as corpses?” Ling Han asked.
