<h4>Chapter 2288: Chapter 2288: Stalling</h4>


    The candlelight flickered, and the dragon’s shadow stretched infinitely long.


    In the vast pce, which was supposed to be filled with brightness, nowy shrouded in darkness.


    The hall’s doors were tightly closed.


    The windows were all covered with curtains.


    Inside, everything had already been cleared out, leaving only a wine table.


    Ilia Danvers sat beside the table, holding a wine ss, seemingly tipsy as he looked at Julius Reed: "For thousands of years, every time we met, it was master and servant. You were high above, and I..."


    He raised his head, ncing around, pointing to an empty spot in the pce: "Just there, my previous identity was Crown Prince of Mont, so I didn’t have the status of Mont King. The Crown Prince wasn’t too bad, just sitting at that spot, watching you."


    "Do you know what I was thinking at that time?" Ilia Danvers chuckled, finishing the wine in his cup in one gulp.


    "I kept watching you, but I didn’t dare to get close to you. I was thinking, what kind of man could evenpel the me Emperor to death? Although he didn’t die, that is ater matter. At that time, everyone knew the me Emperor died, all the temples were destroyed."


    "The Nine Provinces Temples! How magnificent, how many people once worshipped devoutly. I remember, at its peak, the three main temples bustling with people, the throngs of pilgrimsing and going, those temples were never deste even for a single day."


    "The me Emperor appointed six kings, managing the Nine Provinces together with them. Except for the three central provinces where the main temples were located, the other six provinces’ kings were all outstanding among the people!"


    "Sword Dao master Empire Mentor. The City Lord of the world-renowned Skilid City, Orson Martinez. Also known for his brute strength, with countless fierce beasts under hismand, Pruitt Wilde! Skilled in formations like the Guilt Emperor, and others like Shadow Kims, not only do they have their own abilities, but also numerous followers."


    "Yet, nevertheless, the Nine Provinces were swept aside by you. You know, I was once forced by the me Emperor to jump into the sea at Mont! Yet such a mighty me Emperor was driven to ruin by you."


    "Those spectral beasts, either sealed by you or banished. Some of the kings died, some feigned death to escape. The me Emperor himself had to fake death, spending centuries of effort, just to survive ignominiously."


    "You were always a mystery to me. I couldn’t fathom, couldn’t understand. I couldn’t understand how the me Emperor’s vast empire, built on such solid ground, having millions of followers! Why was it defeated so effortlessly by you!"


    "Later, I understood.


    "I gave Grace River to you, you epted, I knew you were human. You also have the seven emotions and six desires, love and hate, passions and disputes. Once Grace River returned, she told me a sentence. From then I understood why you were able to defeat the me Emperor."


    Ilia Danvers spoke with increasing excitement, drinking more and more.


    He simply lifted the wine jar, pouring it hard into his mouth!


    After finishing, he harshly smashed the jar!


    "She said, in front of those believers, you killed the so-called gods! In front of those believers, you slew kings! You said, there are no gods in this world, only a sword dedicated to killing gods. Whoever dares to im they are a god, will die under this sword!"


    Ilia Danvers nearly shouted, saying this!


    "You, in my heart, are a god! You shattered their beliefs, you defeated the me Emperor whom I couldn’t defeat! But I don’t agree with your actions, truly don’t agree!"


    Swaying, he stood up,ughing heartily: "If it were me, after killing them, I’d tell them I am the real god!"


    "You are a madman, I am not." Julius Reed shook his head, speaking calmly.


    He cared not what was here or what Ilia Danvers was doing.


    Anyway, the werewolf was already on his way.


    Diverting disasters, let’s see whether the dragon and the flood dragon can spark some sh.


    Mont had no civilians, those citizens would be taken away.


    All that remained were the spectral beings.


    The mission of the war machine is to fight till death!


    He needed only to wait, wait for the flood dragon toe and meet the gold dragon here.


    "No! You are the madman!" Ilia Danvers pointed at Julius Reed with reddened eyes, his emotions highly agitated: "A single person defeated the strongest of his time, didn’t take his ce, what is it if not madness! Did you know, the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance back then was truly a united world, those who followed me thrived, those who opposed me perished!"


    "But what about your Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance? Over the years, martial artists have constantly rebelled, everyone wants to pull you down, sit on your throne. You are king, you don’t instill fear, don’t inspire terror, that is failure!"


    "A king is lonely! A king is lonely! Look at you now, you are a failure."


    Ilia Danvers spoke with great disappointment.


    "Know why? I always thought of following you, because you aplished what I couldn’t! But you disappointed me, you should have killed those rebellious ones, killed those who wouldn’t obey!"


    "You are king, your words, no one should defy! Your orders, everyone must execute!"


    "Whoever defies you must die!"


    "I now want to be you, take your ce! I want you to see how a qualified king should act!"


    Ilia Danvers toppled the table, looking at Julius Reed: "You were once my idol, I won’t kill you. I won’t kill you, because I want you to live to see how I be king!"


    He roared, turned around, raised the candlestick, fiercely hurling it behind!


    Woosh!


    The fire on the candlestick met something unknown, rapidly igniting!


    mes soared high, illuminating the hall brightly.


    Ilia Danvers stepped into the ze, raising his hand.


    Hundreds of dragon roars came!


    Boom!


    The pce roof instantly shattered!


    Eight golden dragons spiraled out!


    The light immediately shone in.


    Ilia Danvers sat on the throne, watching Julius Reed from below, slowly closing his eyes.


    "I am the true dragon, along with these eight dragons, I am the supreme!"


    "From now on, the world will be under my control. Holy Master, your era is over."


    He spoke, slowly raising his hand.


    The eight golden dragons, as if receiving amand, charged towards Julius Reed!


    "Stop." Julius Reed extended his hand, softly uttering a word.


    The eight dragons actually halted.


    "Dragons are unreliable." Julius Reed smiled, sping his hands together.


    Sitting cross-legged on the ground.


    In an instant, he was shrouded in ck smoke.


    That was Evil Qi.


    Continuously swirling.


    "I can give you three days, see how you conquer this world."


    After he finished speaking, the ck smoke on Julius Reed dissipated, as if he wore armor, motionless.


    "Same trick as Trent Marsh. Fine, I will let you watch, let you form a different opinion of me."


    Ilia Danvers finished speaking, the eight golden dragons circled and tightly coiled Julius Reed.


    Completely wrapped up.
