Chapter 389 - The Invitation Of Emperor Congrave
The instant the imperial guards and the carriage appeared, the gazes of everyone in the Imperial City Plaza were all drawn over.
Everyone, be it the spectators, the arena lords on the dueling platform, the judges, or the highG.o.ds.
Including Toby, Edessa, and Clemente.
Everyone was kneeling on one knee on the hard brick floor.
They said respectfully, "Your Majesty!"
Only Joelson was still standing in the plaza.
Hearing everyone say the same thing, Joelson looked at the n.o.ble carriage, and he understood in his heart.
The person who had come was most likely the emperor of the Orencia Empire.
Previously, Toby and Edessa had introduced him to the emperor of the Orencia Empire.
Emperor Congrave!
He was also an expert at the peak of the highG.o.d level!
Everyone looked respectfully at the carriage, antic.i.p.ating the appearance of the emperor.
At the same time, everyone felt somewhat puzzled.
Why had Emperor Congrave appeared here?
Could it be because they had heard the news that Clemente was going to make a move?
When they thought of this, everyone was shocked.
The battle between the top geniuses had actually attracted Emperor Congrave over.
At this moment.
Under the protection of the royal guards, the carriage arrived at the center of the Imperial City Plaza, beside the dueling platform.
The royal guards stopped the carriage and lifted the curtain of the carriage. They bowed their heads and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, we have arrived."
Joelson"s gaze turned towards the carriage.
He saw a burly, middle-aged man dressed in golden-red armor slowly walk out of the carriage.
Clearly, this middle-aged man was the emperor who had ruled over the Orencia Empire.
Emperor Congrave!
Emperor Congrave"s entire body emanated a terrifying aura. The aura of a peak highG.o.d radiated out without any concealment at all.
Everyone in the plaza could sense a feeling that caused one"s heart to tremble.
Joelson looked at Congrave, just in time to meet Congrave"s gaze.
The two of them instantly met each other"s eyes.
Powerful spiritual energy was transmitted over from their gazes.
The terrifying aura came cras.h.i.+ng down. Even Joelson could sense an extremely dangerous aura.
Joelson"s heart trembled slightly.
Was this the power of a peak highG.o.d expert?
However, Joelson didn"t give in at all. His eyes stared straight into Emperor Congrave"s and his pupils once more transformed into a dazzling golden color.
He faced this pressure that caused everyone in the Imperial City Plaza to tremble.
Joelson wasn"t affected in the slightest.
So what if he was a peak highG.o.d?
The majesty of the Ancient Dragon G.o.d was something that even a sovereign couldn"t offend!
Seeing this scene, Toby and Edessa"s eyes revealed a look of anxiety.
They were worried that Joelson"s actions would anger Emperor Congrave.
At the same time, the two of them secretly thought that if such a thing really happened, they would use their clan"s name to ask His Majesty to forgive Joelson.
Even Clemente, who had just been defeated by Joelson, slightly frowned. He thought that if His Majesty was angry, he would have to come forward and plead for mercy. He did not want this respectable opponent to be annihilated just like that.
The people in the square also revealed shocked gazes.
Joelson shocked them again and again.
It seemed that they would never know how arrogant this super-genius was!
Even in front of the Great Emperor of the Orencia Empire, he would not back down!
Perhaps, such a genius should be so proud.
Thinking of this, everyone felt a little strange.
They could already accept such arrogance from Joelson and even thought that he should be like this.
However, it was out of everyone"s expectations.
Congrave was not as angry as everyone imagined but he restrained his terrifying aura.
With a calm expression, he walked in front of Clemente.
When Clemente saw His Majesty coming over, he said in shame, "I have failed to live up to the name His Majesty bestowed upon me, the Blade of Orencia."
However, Congrave laughed loudly and said, "No, Clemente, you have already done very well. You are the number one genius of our Orencia Empire! It"s just that this opponent is too strong."
And then, without waiting for Clemente to say anything else.
Congrave walked to stand in front of Joelson. Staring at the handsome youth in front of him, he said, "I heard that your name is Joelson?"
Joelson bowed to Congrave, then said, "Yes, your Majesty."
If someone had malice towards him, even if it was a sovereign, he wouldn"t give in.
However, Emperor Congrave didn"t seem to have any malice towards him. Thus, he still needed to be polite to a peak highG.o.d expert.
"This truly surprises me. You were actually able to defeat Clemente."
Congrave let out a sigh of praise, then said, "I"ve forgotten the last time I saw a supreme genius as outstanding as you."
Congrave revealed a look of reminiscence. "A hundred thousand years ago? Or two hundred thousand years ago? Or perhaps three hundred thousand years ago, when I visited the Supreme Academy."
Hearing Emperor Congrave"s words, everyone revealed looks of shock.
Was the level of talent of Joelson actually so high?
That was the Supreme Academy!
The highG.o.ds were all shocked. Even His Majesty had said so.
It seemed that the talent of Joelson truly was comparable to the genius of the Supreme Academy!
Joelson looked at Congrave and said, "Your Majesty, you flatter me."
Congrave shook his head, then said seriously, "What I said is true. You have indeed given me this feeling. I even feel that you are a student of the Supreme Academy."
"However, I am not yet a student of the Supreme Academy," Joelson said.
Hearing these words, Congrave"s eyes began to flicker.
What he said wasn"t false. He truly believed that Joelson was a student of the Supreme Academy. Only a monster like that could defeat Clemente without being harmed in the slightest.
But from what Joelson had said, it seemed that although he had received the qualifications to enter the Supreme Academy, he hadn"t been admitted.
"Joelson, if you are willing to join the Orencia Empire, I can grant you the t.i.tle of Grand Duke! I will provide you with the empire"s top-tier cultivation resources, and I guarantee that you will become a highG.o.d within ten thousand years!"
Congrave"s gaze was fiery as he looked at Joelson, his tone sincere.
In the plaza of the Imperial Capital, everyone revealed looks of envy.
This sort of condition was something they didn"t even dare to imagine.
And this was an invitation personally issued by His Majesty. This was already a supreme honor!
Even Clemente revealed a bitter smile, shaking his head slightly.
He already possessed the highest level of cultivation resources in the entire Orencia Empire.
Although the t.i.tle of Grand Duke or even prince was something that would happen sooner or later.
But it still hadn"t happened yet.
And what about Joelson?
His Majesty had promised to grant the t.i.tle of Grand Duke as soon as he had opened his mouth and had even guaranteed that within ten thousand years, he would become a highG.o.d.
The resources he needed were simply unbelievable.
Clemente"s heart was filled with envy.
However, at this moment, everyone heard a shocking statement.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, but I can not accept it."
