The Peerless Emperor

In the midst of the sky, Lin Qian's speed had exploded to its utmost limit as he returned to New Qin City and went straight to the rear of the traveling palace.

The living quarters for Lin Qian's parents and other relatives were arranged in the backyard of the traveling palace.

Upon returning to the palace, Lin Qian immediately made his way to the imperial garden where his parents resided and headed straight for their bedroom.

In the grand and luxurious bedroom, Lin Di lay quietly on the bed, his body enshrouded in a golden-red glow, while beside him on the bed lay scattered metallic fragments.

By the bedside, Yun Yunyan paced back and forth anxiously, her eyes filled with worry. Seeing Lin Qian walk in, she quickly approached him, "Qianer, come take a look, what's happened to your father?"

"Mother, don't panic," Lin Qian soothed Yun Yunyan and hurried over to the bedside to observe his unconscious father.

Subsequently, Lin Qian wrapped his body in Thunder Soul Power and slowly reached out his hand towards his father.

Just as Lin Qian was about to touch the golden-red glow on Lin Di's body, a powerful repelling force suddenly burst forth from his father, shaking his entire body in an instant.

"Ugh!" Lin Qian grunted, as he was flung backward, his feet scraping across the ground.

Thud!

Lin Qian's entire body was shockingly sent smashing through the wall of the room, flying out of the building, only to be stopped by the garden wall outside, where he collapsed amidst the rubble.

If it hadn't been for Lin Qian's ability to disperse the energy with Soul Power and his strong physique, as well as stabilize his body as he was thrown backward, there was no telling how far he would have been flung.

Lin Qian shook off the surrounding debris with his Soul Power and, as he stood up, vibrated the dust off with trembling Soul Power, moved his shoulders, and walked back through the broken gap into the bedroom with a resigned expression.

"Qianer, are you alright? Let your mother have a look," Yun Yunyan was also startled and hurried over to inspect him. After making sure that Lin Qian was indeed unharmed, she finally felt relieved.

Lin Qian then returned to the bedside, closely observing his unconscious father, and said helplessly, "Now, I am at a loss too. The protective item on father's body is, after all, too powerful."

As he spoke, Lin Qian's expression gradually became serious.

According to the data obtained from the shattered detecting badge, there seemed to be something inside Lin Di's body, hidden deep within his Dantian.

Not long ago, this peculiar object suddenly burst forth with such a force that it enveloped his father entirely.

Despite being able to clearly see his father, the golden-red glow was also transparent and illusory.

However, Zhuge Ming mentioned that before the detecting badge shattered, it clearly detected that this force was changing something within Lin Di's body.

It's just that the detecting badge didn't have time to find out what exactly was changing before it was shattered by this force.

"I cannot be certain whether the power of the object hidden within the Supreme Emperor's body is beneficial or harmful. Therefore, Your Majesty, I have allowed you to see for yourself and then make a judgment," Zhuge Ming said, adding another piece of information, "Your Majesty, earlier when doctors from the Medical Department tried to examine the Supreme Emperor's condition, they were directly repelled and severely injured, almost to the point of death."

"However, Your Majesty, you are unharmed, hence I surmise that this force might be related to the Supreme Emperor, and it treats people close to him differently."

"Could it be that my strength is not greater?" Lin Qian sighed, looking at his father on the bed and countered.

"The backlash seems to be related to the Realm; the doctors' Realm is not as high as Your Majesty's, so the repercussions they suffered were much less. Although, it nearly killed him."

"To verify this hypothesis, I also had some scholars of varying Realms attempt it, and it indeed proved true."

Zhuge Ming's words made Lin Qian nod. Seeing the surprise in his father Lin Di's eyes, he said, "It seems that this thing wrapping around Father's entire body actually reflects different levels of power depending on the strength of the person who touches it?"

Lin Qian found this to be quite astonishing.

"Young Master, there's no need to worry about the Master; please don't let anyone disturb him again." Just at that moment, a voice suddenly came from Lin Di's body.

The next instant, a red-gold glow enveloping Lin Di suddenly extended outward, forming a tiny human figure.

This figure, formed from the golden glow, turned out to be a three-year-old child, now floating midair, quite peculiar.

The sudden appearance of an exquisitely formed child astonished both Lin Qian and Yun Yunyan.

"What are you?" After a moment, Lin Qian frowned and asked, his expression darkening, "Are you the cause of my father's condition?"

"Indeed, it is I," the child gestured with its chubby little hand, nodding to Lin Qian, "The Master is at a crucial moment and cannot suffer any disturbance, so Young Master, please don't probe any further."

"Is that so?" Stepping forward, Lin Qian's eyes twinkled with a golden light, his Imperial Eye unveiled, projecting Imperial authority over the child, "How then can I know whether you mean to harm my father or not?"

"Young Master, with your weaker Realm, you cannot suppress me with your presence..." Seeing the overwhelming power coming from within Lin Qian, the tiny child waved away his concern with a hand, a teasing expression on his face.

Bang!

The next moment, the child's entire small body suddenly fell, sprawling out in a 'big' character on the bed, its little head struggling to look up. When it looked at Lin Qian, it was filled with fear.

"This is impossible. For you to suppress me, it's not a matter of who is stronger or weaker. Unless one's essence is much higher than mine... even the essence of this continent's world is dozens of times weaker than mine, how could you possibly suppress me with your presence?" The child's eyes widened unbelievingly as it shrieked at Lin Qian.

Lin Qian looked at the child, speaking coldly, "I am the nation itself, my presence imbued with the fortune of the Huaxia Empire. How can your essence surpass that of the Empire, which I take pride in?"

"If you cannot prove yourself harmless to my father, I will destroy you. I mean what I say."

Hearing Lin Qian's words, the child urgently shouted, "No, Young Master, you can suppress me only because you are the son of the Master, and it's related to your presence."

"If you act rashly, it will only impact the Master, and at that time, it could ruin everything."

"Prove it!" Lin Qian stared at the child, his voice indifferent, "Even if it ruins everything, as long as Father still breathes, I can save him."

The child's chubby hand fidgeted on its head, and suddenly it produced a Crystal Stone, yelling inside with a babyish voice, "Yuan Xiang, come out and explain to our little ancestor. I can't hold on any longer!"
