"Your Majesty!"
King Hu Yi's surprised and respectful voice brought Xie Feng back from his thoughts. He turned around and saw that at some point the Human Emperor Xuan Liuxian had descended from the sky and approached the place where they were currently standing.
This was also the first time Xie Feng had the opportunity to carefully observe the person who was said to be the most powerful human being in existence and, while he could not compare to the strongest emperor in the history of mankind, he was a powerful God grade boss in his own right.
Xie Feng had experienced firsthand how terrifying a God grade boss was. He himself had been attacked twice and, as annoying as it was to admit it, the reality was that Xie Feng knew that the current him had no hope of victory against such powers that were practically at the top of the world.
Xuan Liuxian wore an imperial robe embroidered with what appeared to be golden silk threads with silver decorations around the edges. In addition, on his head was a kind of diadem with a deep blue sapphire right in the center acting as a kind of crown.
The whole aura emanating from the emperor's body was worthy of a ruler who had been at the top for most of his life and who was used to giving orders. Between his eyebrows was a certain natural pride and arrogance that came from his noble birth, his talent, and his personal strength.
Xie Feng was forced to admit that in comparison to the King of the North, the Human Emperor was actually much more prominent in general.
This was the difference between the only emperor of the Adastreia Continent and one of the four kings.
"Hu Yi, it's been almost five years since we last met." Xuan Liuxian approached King Hu Yi and palmed his shoulder as he nodded vigorously, "It's good to see that you are well."
"Your majesty's words are an honor to me. Your majesty is still as impressive as ever." King Hu Yi did not act as close or familiar in comparison. This was also normal, after all, the difference in status and power of the two was a natural barrier just like that of an employee and their boss on planet Earth.
The Human Emperor simply smiled slightly before his expression turned serious. In a deep voice, he asked, "Hu Yi, was it you who organized this defensive move to stop that Saint beast?"
"Yes, your majesty." King Hu Yi nodded and lowered his head apologetically, "This fellow regrets not being able to stop the Abyssal Dragon's attack."
"What are you talking about? You did an impressive job." The emperor shook his head and sighed as he said, "Who would have thought that a Saint grade boss from another continent would suddenly appear on the Adastreia Continent? To make the situation even worse, this Saint grade boss actually turned out to be a dragon... Dragons by themselves are an extremely powerful and horrifying race that no one is willing to face even if their numbers are low, let alone an ultimate dragon like the Abyssal Dragon. Even this seat was forced to abandon all defense to attack at every possible opportunity but still could not end the life of that monster."
The Human Emperor was indeed powerful, Xie Feng estimated that his power should be roughly similar to Lucifer's and, if the East Sea King left the water, the Human Emperor would probably be able to deal with him since aquatic creatures lost much of their strength on land. Even if the East Sea King was not so weakened due to his God grade strength, he would undoubtedly lose a portion of his power... However, even with the power of the Human Emperor present, the Abyssal Dragon somehow managed to launch a last desperate and suicidal attack that forced him to retreat.
Of course, if the Abyssal Dragon continued to fight against the emperor, Xuan Liuxian would definitely have emerged victorious. After all, the Abyssal Dragon only had about thirty million health points at that time.
King Hu Yi sighed and shook his head. However, a question suddenly flashed in his mind and he couldn't help but look at the emperor curiously as he said, "Your majesty, if I may, this one has a question."
"Hmm?" The Human Emperor looked at him and nodded, "Hu Yi, you don't need to be so formal with me. Ask freely."
Because the family of the four kings had been subordinate to the imperial family of Adastreia Continent for so many generations, it wasn't wrong to say that they were all quite close to each other as if they were one big family in general.
Although it was true that they did not meet often, at least once every five years the four kings traveled to Grandeux City, which was located in the center of the continent, to report about the situation of the territories they ruled on behalf of the emperor. In fact, this year was the time when the kings and the emperor would meet again after almost five years and the agreed date was only several months away.
Having received the emperor's consent, King Hu Yi frowned slightly and asked something that had been confusing him: "Could you tell me how did your majesty know about the Abyssal Dragon's attack? If I recall correctly, Grandeux City should not have a master capable of peering into the secrets of these lands."
The reason why King Hu Yi was surprised and doubtful since the arrival of the emperor was precisely because in Grandux City there was no mage with the same ability that Uncle Luo possessed. In fact, only Eminentis City had such power and this was so only because Uncle Luo was a weak man whom the king had saved in the past and, as gratitude, decided to work for the king's palace.
Then how had the emperor appeared here? Coincidence? King Hu Yi didn't think so. There was definitely another reason; an important reason.
