"Huh? Aren't those the lyrics to the divine song this emperor just composed? How dare you steal my lyrics! This is piracy—shameful, disgraceful piracy! All of you deserve to be hacked to pieces!"
As the Ice Crystal Clan began fusing continuously into towering ice crystal battle bodies, a streak of green light soared up the city wall. It was none other than Green Emperor. Standing upright like a man, he stared outside at the shouting masses calling, "I'll form the head!"
Green Emperor's face turned an even deeper shade of green in anger.
His entire body trembled.
"This is piracy—blatant, shameless piracy! And such awful, off-key imitation too. It's humiliating beyond belief!"
"Green Emperor, what the hell are you doing up here?"
Wu Yong spotted him and immediately felt a shiver run through his guts. Rumor had it Green Emperor had gone off to breed, doting on his harem, especially his beloved Flower Girl, who was apparently pregnant. Ever since joining Liu as part of the Four Great Bandits, their bond had only deepened. Wu Yong had already resigned himself to Green Emperor's bizarre behavior and conquests.
And now he was back.
That mutt never brought peace with him. His sudden appearance filled everyone with unease.
"This emperor has come to bring justice to these thieving crooks! To let them know what real lyrics sound like, what a true divine melody is! I shall move them—with my perfect voice and heartfelt emotion!"
Green Emperor declared, deeply emotional.
"Crap! All soldiers—put in your Jade Silencers now!"
Yang Ye instantly turned pale and shouted an urgent command. Even as he spoke, he stuffed the silencing jade into his ears.
Truth be told, the moment they saw Green Emperor, most soldiers had already instinctively reached for their jade plugs. It had become a reflex by now.
"This guy brings chaos wherever he goes," muttered Yi Tianxing, twitching slightly at the corners of his mouth. Whatever the mutt was about to do, it wasn't going to be pretty.
"Don't be reckless—develop safely!!"
"Hold steady—we can win!!"
Green Emperor's voice rang out loud and clear.
"What the hell is this?!"
The soldiers atop the Iron-Blooded Great Wall staggered. Some nearly toppled off. Was he… singing? "Develop safely"? "Don't be reckless"? Reckless your head!
"Listen! The whispers of the forest!!""Look! There's a plane in the sky!!"
With deep emotion, Green Emperor poured his entire soul into the performance. Unfortunately, the voice was as screechy and raspy as ever—painfully shrill, a sonic torture that pierced the mind. Even with the jade silencers, they couldn't entirely block the sound.
It was like a million ants chewing your nerves. Agony to the extreme. Worse than death.
And that was just the Iron-Blooded soldiers.
Out on the battlefield, the Ice Crystal Army fared even worse. The massive ice giants shook violently as if thunderstruck. When they heard, "Don't be reckless, develop safely!", they instinctively curled up and put on lecherous expressions. When Green Emperor sang "Hold steady", the entire charging army froze like statues—stopped dead as if paralyzed by some supernatural force.
Worse still, their ears throbbed in despair. Some wanted to go deaf just to make it stop. A heavy drowsiness settled in.
At the same time, a gray cloud appeared above, crackling with heavenly thunder. Bolts of lightning rained down relentlessly across the battlefield. Some ice giants were blasted into pieces, while others shattered into fragments, crushed beneath divine thunder.
⚡️ These lightning strikes contained the Dao Rhyme of Calamity, enhancing their destructive force exponentially.
Green Emperor's singing could now trigger celestial phenomena—with immense, deadly power.
"Green Emperor is getting more bizarre. His singing can trigger weather anomalies and deal real damage. If he continues developing this path, he could become a fearsome powerhouse," said Cai Yan, her eyes filled with odd appreciation.
She herself had walked the Dao of Music, so she could sense the raw sincerity behind Green Emperor's terrible voice. Despite its harshness, the emotions were genuine, resonating on a strange frequency, letting his voice affect the material world.
"If he ever learns to fully wield the Disaster Power inside him, his path will be clear. Unfortunately, his songs aren't something ordinary beings can endure. Only Ah Qing might appreciate the 'truth' in them."
Yi Tianxing nodded in agreement—though the song still felt eerily familiar.
"He's calling forth victory!"
"You! Cannot resist!"
"By the law, I punish you!"
"Perfectly precise strike!"
With each verse echoing through the air, the Ice Crystal Army's defense weakened by 30%. The heavenly lightning struck with frightening accuracy—each bolt a direct hit. Every strike shattered another battle body, reducing it to shards that scattered, then transformed into eggs, caught in a cycle of death and rebirth.
The song carried a mysterious intent, resembling divine abilities like True Word, Great Prophecy, or Word-Becomes-Law. It was even infused with Green Emperor's Calamity Power.
"If the enemy blushes, I'll strip her bare!!"
"Where is my Diao Chan!!"
…
"Plain but not mediocre!"
"I feel drained—like I've been hollowed out!"
The battlefield descended into complete chaos. The once-mighty Ice Crystal Army was now like a bogged-down machine. Warriors collapsed one after another. Many felt their energy vanish mysteriously, their strength utterly drained. Even stranger, their clothes vanished—leaving them all stark naked!
"What the hell is going on?! That green-furred dog… Is it moldy or what?!" The Frosthawk General shook with rage. "A single dog and one horrible song wiped out millions?!"
"The sword of the river descends from the heavens!!"
"Burning with passion and blood!!"
Suddenly, sword light poured from the sky, forming a river of steel that pierced through space. Each sword carried the Calamity of Water—silently corroding everything it touched. And their strikes were razor-sharp, like water flowing through every crack.
Pu pu pu!!
The rain of swords tore through the battlefield. Every hit landed with deadly precision, slicing apart bodies into neatly-sized fragments.
Some Ice Crystal soldiers felt their blood boil and reverse in their veins—exploding on the spot like overcharged bombs.
"Too brutal… Green Emperor's going god mode. He's even stronger than before!"
"Terrifying! Those sword lights contain Nine Heavens Weak Water—each drop heavy as a mountain and corrosive enough to melt anything. Green Emperor's gone nuclear!"
From atop the wall, soldiers were stunned by the devastation. Who would have thought that this ridiculous mutt could single-handedly break an army?
"I'll form the head!"
"I… am the Swan Princess!!"
Crack!!
More heads flew into the sky, popping off necks like bottle caps. Some Ice Crystal soldiers transformed into ice crystal swans, proudly waddling around.
…
Green Emperor sang with everything he had. The very heavens responded.
Great ice whips lashed down from above. Ice balls tore across the sky. A terrifying Heaven Eye opened in the void, firing divine rays that shredded bodies into pieces.
"The King is Unstoppable!!"
With that final high note, all the celestial phenomena reached a climax, blasting the battlefield into a ravaged wasteland.
Huff! Huff! Huff!
Green Emperor collapsed atop the city wall, panting heavily. Clearly, he'd exhausted his energy—drained physically and emotionally.
"See that? That's the power of the original version! In the face of the true copyright holder—pirates are nothing but trash!"
He beamed proudly.
The Ice Crystal Clan's offensive was thoroughly shattered. Their first wave of attack—completely obliterated by a single dog's song.
The Frosthawk General trembled with fury. He wanted nothing more than to rip Green Emperor to shreds, throw him in oil, and fry him into oblivion.
Millions of troops. Gone. Because of one damned song.
