Ch 408: Yu Zhenhong
“Yu Zhenhong?!”
Hearing Emperor Yu Yang personally mention his name, everyone was stunned for a moment.
However, they quickly reacted, their faces filled with disbelief, because they had all heard this name to some extent.
If memory serves, Yu Zhenhong should be the name of the second Ruler of the Nation of Divine Palace Kingdom, a name dating back hundreds of years. The historical records show that the second Ruler of the Nation, Yu Zhenhong, was a wise ruler who diligently governed and was loved by the people; by all accounts, he has nothing to do with the Emperor Yu Yang before them.
Moreover, historical records clearly state that Yu Zhenhong’s cultivation talent was poor, his body frail, and he died of overwork at only fifty-six years of age. Yet, the Emperor Yu Yang before them has reached the Half-step Divine Pool, a realm they have never achieved, a realm always within sight but never attainable.
Furthermore, those who can reach this realm are few and far between in the Tianxuan Realm; each is a prominent figure, and their legends are still widely circulated in the Tianxuan Realm to this day.
For example, the Founding Emperor of the Divine Palace Kingdom not only easily reached the Half-step Divine Pool, but also ascended to the Immortal Realm during his lifetime through his hard strength.
But if there were enough time and a large amount of resources, it might be possible to forcibly push oneself to the realm of the Half-step Divine Pool. Could it be that Emperor Yu Yang relied on seizing the bodies of his descendants, generation after generation, repeatedly ascending the throne to reach his current realm?
Thinking of this, everyone suddenly felt how insane the Emperor Yu Yang before them truly was.
“The existence of someone like you is a misfortune for the Yu family, a misfortune for the entire Divine Palace Kingdom!”
Jiang Yixuan coldly snorted, his eyes filled with disgust as he looked at Emperor Yu Yang.
Luo Jinyi, Situ Ling, and others also frowned.
Even Dao Canggu became expressionless in an instant.
Although they came from Jianghu sects and acted recklessly, they understood that even tigers do not eat their own children, and they had never thought of seizing the bodies of their relatives. This is simply inhumane, more vicious than murder!
If one seizes the body of someone else, at least from the source, there might be some rationale; but seizing the bodies of one’s own descendants is simply insane and despicable!
“The victor is king, the loser is a subject; that’s just how it is. It’s your inability to adapt that keeps you lingering at the threshold of a realm, unable to enter for so long!”
Emperor Yu Yang chuckled lightly, showing great disdain for everyone’s attitude.
He never expected others to understand why he did this, and furthermore, he didn’t need them to; he only needed to stay true to his beliefs and achieve his goals step by step.
Murder is a means to an end, and so is Body Seizure!
For thousands of years, countless talented individuals have been filled with regret, only to become withered bones in their tombs. This is all because they followed the rules accepted by everyone. Otherwise, who knows how many people would be like him, not only avoiding death but also steadily climbing towards the summit!
“Then I shall borrow everyone’s bodies, to help me ascend another step of the stairs!”
Emperor Yu Yang’s voice was flat. As he activated the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art, he slowly raised a palm.
Immediately, a giant palm, gradually formed from incredibly tyrannical demonic aura, appeared in the sky dome, instantly falling towards everyone.
The moment the palm appeared, it carried unparalleled might, seeming capable of easily turning mountains and seas upside down. Its five condensed fingers were like a cage, intending to instantly suppress the Nine Heavens Star Demon Subduing Formation formed by Li Hanzhou and the others!
Upon seeing this palm, Li Hanzhou understood that Emperor Yu Yang intended to swallow them all.
He sensed a deathly aura on the palm, far more intense than the deathly aura he had encountered from the Demon God Skeleton in the past!
If this strike was not dispelled, everyone would be invaded by the immense deathly aura, instantly dying.
“I’m afraid that won’t be possible.”
Li Hanzhou’s brows furrowed deeply.
The star chart that appeared in the sky dome slowly rotated, emitting a thunderous roar, and a vast might manifested from the star chart.
Chains formed from starlight instantly shot out, wrapping around the giant palm, the deathly aura constantly grinding against the power contained within the starlight.
The Nine Heavens Star Demon Subduing Formation, as the name suggests, utilizes the special power contained within the stars of the nine heavens to enhance oneself and temporarily harness the vast star power.
It has many variations, such as the chains formed at this moment.
Furthermore, the higher the realm of the person maintaining the formation, the stronger the power the formation can unleash.
But it also has a major flaw: the longer the formation is maintained, the more true qi it consumes, exponentially increasing until, in the end, if one’s true qi is insufficient, the formation will convert the extracted true qi into the blood and flesh essence of others.
And just as the starlight chains wrapped around the giant palm and slowly dissipated it.
“This formation is quite good, but you will never understand how vast the gap between you and me truly is.”
As soon as Emperor Yu Yang finished speaking, numerous spirit treasures appeared around him, numerous spirit treasures surrounding him like a star river.
This was the accumulation of hundreds of years; each spirit treasure possessed immense power. With the aid of these spirit treasures, he could quickly break through the formation formed by Li Hanzhou and the others.
However, at that moment.
Luo Jinyi, as if knowing in advance, without hesitation took out a palm-sized token.
The token was forged from unique black iron, engraved with a large character “Suppress”.
At this moment, when activated by Luo Jinyi, a faint light suddenly spread out from the token, expanding to a radius of ten li.
At this time, the spirit treasures suspended around Emperor Yu Yang seemed to fail, involuntarily falling to the ground.
“Divine Peak Mountain Domain Suppressing Token!”
Emperor Yu Yang frowned slightly, recognizing the origin of this token.
The Domain Suppressing Token is a very unique domain-type spirit treasure, the Sect’s Treasured Artifact of Divine Peak Mountain, capable of suppressing all spirit treasures within a radius of ten li; all spirit treasures will become ineffective in the presence of the Domain Suppressing Token.
However, not only do enemy spirit treasures become ineffective, but those on one’s own side become unusable as well.
“I expected that move.”
Luo Jinyi hung the Domain Suppressing Token on his waist.
“Forget it, spirit treasures are merely icing on the cake to save me some trouble; then I shall use hard strength to make you submit.”
Emperor Yu Yang was unconcerned. He gathered the scattered spirit treasures, his figure flashed, and he arrived before everyone.
A domain swept out from him as its center, instantly sweeping across the surroundings. At this moment, his aura suddenly became as deep and unfathomable as an abyss.
With the appearance of the domain, everything around him instantly became darker than night.
The phantoms of black dragon slowly condensed into entities, each letting out a roar as they surged towards everyone.
And everyone felt waves of deathly aura emanating from those black dragons.
