I've announced that I'm destined to have many children, and my father has bestowed upon me

Above the sky, a golden dragon claw blotted out the sun, carrying boundless imperial dominance, and slashed down at Lu Yuchun!

The terrifying power caused the earth below to tremble, rocks to crumble, and vegetation to turn to ash.

"Zhao Daoting! How dare you!"

Lu Yuchun was both shocked and furious. He had never expected Zhao Daoting to attack so fiercely without warning!

He was the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, a man of noble status. Who would dare to be so disrespectful to him under normal circumstances?

"What is there to be afraid of!"

Zhao Daoting let out a long roar that shook the heavens, and the golden dragon claw became three times faster!

Lu Yuchun dared not be negligent. His spiritual power, which was at the Dragon Transformation Realm, surged out, and a long spear, completely black and covered with intricate runes, appeared in his hand.

"Black Dragon Sky-Piercing Spear!"

This is a top-grade magic weapon treasured by the Great Xia Dynasty, with boundless power!

With a flick of the spear, a ferocious black dragon phantom roared out, charging towards the golden dragon claw!

boom--!

A deafening roar shook the heavens and earth, as if a huge gash had been torn open in the sky.

Golden light and black energy intertwined and annihilated each other wildly, and a destructive energy storm swept in all directions, leveling the surrounding mountains.

Even though they were at a great distance, Zhao Chen'an and the others below were also affected by the aftershocks, causing their blood and qi to surge and forcing them to retreat repeatedly.

Li Qingluan's pretty face turned pale, and she gripped Zhao Chen'an's sleeve tightly, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably.

Is this the power of a Dragon Transformation Realm expert?

The aftershocks of the battle alone were enough to easily annihilate these cultivators at the Dao Palace Realm and the Wheel Sea Realm!

so horrible!

Zhao Chen'an was also deeply shaken. He looked up at the two godlike figures in the sky, his heart filled with turmoil.

He knew that his father had broken through to a higher level, and he also knew that his father was very strong.

But he never imagined that his father would be this powerful!

That's the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty!

He is a renowned expert in the Dragon Transformation Realm, possessing both a Heavenly Grade cultivation technique and a Heavenly Grade magic weapon!

My father, a newly promoted monarch of a dynasty, was able to confront him head-on and even gain the upper hand!

"The martial art Father used... was the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger!"

After Zhao Chen'an saw the golden dragon claw clearly, a giant golden finger that pierced through the heavens and earth condensed into shape, exuding a terrifying aura that imprisoned the heavens and earth and suppressed eternity.

This is the top-grade martial art he offered!

In Zhao Daoting's other hand, a demonic halberd radiating murderous aura quietly appeared, with nine ferocious black dragon phantoms swirling and roaring on its body.

Nine Dragons Demon Halberd!

Both are top-grade magic artifacts!

Above the sky, Lu Yuchun's situation was far from as easy as it appeared on the surface.

He suffered a hidden loss in their first collision.

Zhao Daoting's spiritual power was so strong that it didn't seem like that of a cultivator who had just broken through. His domineering and unparalleled imperial dragon aura also exerted a natural suppression on him.

"How is this possible! Your cultivation technique... is also of the Heavenly Rank?!" Lu Yuchun exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.

How could the emperor of a mere dynasty possibly possess a top-tier martial arts technique!

Zhao Daoting didn't bother to answer his question at all, and suddenly swung out the Nine Dragons Demon Halberd!

"roar!"

The nine demonic dragons roared and broke free from the halberd, transforming into nine destructive black torrents that blocked all of Lu Yuchun's escape routes from all directions.

At the same time, the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger had been fully formed and was pointed down with a bang!

The world lost its color, and all things fell silent!

With this single finger, space seemed to freeze, and time itself stood still.

Lu Yuchun felt an irresistible force locking onto her, her bones creaking as if she were about to be crushed into dust.

He was utterly horrified!

This Zhao Daoting is a madman!

He doesn't resemble a pampered emperor at all, but rather a peerless killing god who crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood!

Every move and every stance is filled with reckless madness and ruthless desperateness!

This is a naked life-or-death struggle!

"You're insane! You're a madman!"

Lu Yuchun was shocked and furious. He dared not hold back any longer and spat a mouthful of blood onto the Black Dragon Sky-Piercing Spear.

The spear shone brightly, and the black dragon phantom instantly solidified, letting out a deafening dragon roar. It barely broke free from the binding of the Imprisoning Heaven Finger and charged towards the nine demonic dragons that were tearing at it.

"Break for me!"

Lu Yuchun tried her best to tear open a hole and escape.

He didn't want to fight anymore.

If the fight continues, even if he manages to kill Zhao Daoting, he will definitely be seriously injured!

It's not worth it for a mere Great Zhou Dynasty!

However, Zhao Daoting's offensive was like a storm, relentless and unending.

His fighting style is completely about trading injury for injury and risking his life!

He can be injured, but Lu Yuchun must die!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

High in the sky, the sound of explosions could be heard incessantly.

Lu Yuchun was beaten back step by step, his hair was disheveled, his python robe was tattered, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

His pride as the crown prince of the dynasty was trampled underfoot by Zhao Daoting in the wildest and most unreasonable way!

"Zhao Daoting! You just wait!"

Lu Yuchun finally got scared. He feinted with his gun, then turned into a black streak of light and fled madly toward the distant horizon.

He's done fighting! He wants to return to Great Xia, and he wants to ask his father, the Emperor, to mobilize the imperial army and crush this damned Great Zhou!

Upon seeing this, Zhao Daoting let out a cold laugh and was about to give chase.

Just then, an old, somewhat mocking laugh echoed through the heavens and earth.

"Hehehe... Your Highness, now that you're here, why the rush to leave?"

The sound came from the direction Lu Yuchun was fleeing in.

Lu Yuchun was terrified and abruptly stopped in his tracks.

Above him, a white-haired old man dressed in simple linen clothes stood smiling, blocking his way.

The aura emanating from the old man was as vast as the sea, as deep and imposing as a mountain, and was in no way inferior to his and Zhao Daoting's!

Another Dragon Transformation Realm!

"Xiao...the patriarch of the Xiao family?!"

Lu Yuchun's mind went blank with a "buzz".

Why is the Xiao family patriarch here?

Shouldn't he be in the Xiao family's ancestral land? Shouldn't he be an enemy of the Great Zhou?

"You...you all..."

Lu Yuchun pointed tremblingly at the Xiao family patriarch, then looked back at Zhao Daoting who had caught up. A thought that sent chills down his spine surfaced in his mind.

"You guys teamed up?!"

"The Xiao family! How dare you betray the Great Xia Dynasty and join forces with a mere minor dynasty to plot against me! Are you trying to rebel?!"

Lu Yuchun's voice was sharp and distorted, filled with incredulous anger.

Faced with his questioning, the smile on the face of the Xiao family patriarch remained unchanged, but there was an unspeakable sorrow and deep-seated hatred in that smile.

"Rebellion? Heh, Your Highness, you flatter me."

"When has my Xiao family ever truly submitted to your Lu imperial family?"

The patriarch of the Xiao family sighed and slowly spoke.

"His Highness the Crown Prince may still be young and unaware of some of the old stories."

"Why do you think my Xiao family, with its ten-thousand-year-old lineage, has fallen to this state of decline, with only this old man, a mere Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator, struggling to keep it afloat?"

Lu Yuchun's heart skipped a beat.

He remembered!

He had heard that many years ago, his father had used many ruthless methods in order to completely control all the powerful families within the imperial territory.

The most ruthless tactic was to set up various lists and hold various competitions.

Using generous rewards as bait, they incited the geniuses of various powerful families to kill each other, using others as pawns to do their dirty work!

Countless brilliant talents perished mysteriously during those so-called "grand gatherings."

Is it...

"It seems His Highness has remembered."

The smile of the Xiao family patriarch turned icy cold.

"The most outstanding talents of my Xiao family for generations all died at your father's so-called 'Feast of the Prodigies'! My Xiao family has remembered this blood debt for hundreds of years!"

"Today, let's start by collecting some interest from you, His Highness the Crown Prince!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Xiao family patriarch no longer concealed his true intentions, and a terrifying killing intent soared into the sky!

Lu Yuchun felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, her whole body turning ice cold.

He understood everything.

What abduction of Zhao Chen'an, what a tactic of luring the snake out of its hole...

From beginning to end, this was a deadly trap set up against him!

Zhao Chen'an was the bait, Zhao Chenyu was the spark that set the line, and he was the "big fish" that was fished out of the water!

"Excellent! Excellent Zhou Dynasty! Excellent Xiao Family!"

Lu Yuchun burst into maniacal laughter, as if he had gone mad:

"You think you can rest easy after killing me? My father will avenge me! He will raze the Xiao family to the ground and destroy the Great Zhou! You will all die!"

"Then there's no need for Your Highness to trouble yourself."

Zhao Daoting's cold voice rang out behind him; he and the Xiao family patriarch had formed a pincer movement.

"Delay will only lead to trouble, kill!"

Zhao Daoting was too lazy to waste any more words. The Nine Dragons Demon Halberd, carrying overwhelming demonic power, attacked once again!

At the same time, the Xiao family patriarch also made his move, striking out with a withered hand that drew upon the power of heaven and earth, transforming it into a massive millstone that crushed towards Lu Yuchun!

The combined power of two Dragon Transformation Realm experts is terrifying!

"ah--!"

Lu Yuchun let out a desperate roar, burning his essence and soul in a final, desperate struggle.

However, it was all in vain.

The giant golden finger crossed the black millstone, and Lu Yuchun's body was instantly torn apart.

Then it was completely annihilated by the terrifying energy, and not even a trace of its soul could escape.

"My father... will definitely avenge me..."

His final, bitter curse still echoes between heaven and earth, but he has already perished, body and soul.

The Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty has fallen!

On the distant horizon, Zhao Chenyu, who was desperately fleeing, happened to turn around and see this shocking scene.

He froze, a chill running from his tailbone straight to the top of his head.

died?

The Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty... just died like that?

His biggest backer is gone!

An overwhelming sense of fear and despair instantly engulfed him.

He's finished.

That's it, he's completely finished!

The world is vast, but there is nowhere else for him to find refuge!

"Father..." he murmured to himself, then his eyes filled with endless resentment and hatred.

It's happening again!

Once again!

Once again, he was used as a tool by his good father, the emperor, and as a pawn to be discarded at will!

Use him to lure out the Crown Prince of Great Xia, and then kill him without mercy!

……

"Ha ha ha ha!"

After killing Lu Yuchun, Zhao Daoting laughed loudly, sweeping away the resentment that had been building up in his chest for many years, and feeling incredibly clear-headed!

So what if he's the Crown Prince? If he dares to plot against me, I'll kill him without hesitation!

After the laughter subsided, he suddenly turned his neck and looked towards the valley hundreds of miles away.

"Little girl, you've been watching the show for so long, it's time to come out, isn't it?"

With a wave of his hand, an invisible force traversed the void and directly pulled Xiao Chuchu, who was hiding in the valley and in a state of extreme shock, over.

"what!"

Xiao Chuchu exclaimed in surprise, feeling dizzy, and the next second she appeared in front of Zhao Daoting.

Looking at the majestic and imposing emperor in his dragon robe, she was so frightened that her face turned pale and she couldn't utter a word.

Zhao Daoting looked her over and nodded in satisfaction.

As expected of being ranked sixth on the list of prodigies, she possesses exceptional talent and top-notch looks.

"Little girl, come back to the Great Zhou with me and become my son's princess consort, how about it?"

Zhao Daoting's voice was filled with an undeniable domineering air.

Xiao Chuchu was stunned. She subconsciously turned around and looked at the Xiao family patriarch not far away, sending him a message for help.

However, the Xiao family patriarch just chuckled and stroked his beard, looking as if he knew nothing.

Xiao Chuchu understood instantly.

What marriage proposal? What elopement?

From beginning to end, the old ancestor was trying to sell himself to the Great Zhou!

She pouted, looking both aggrieved and helpless.

"What can I do if I disagree? My great-grandfather has already sold me out!"

A girl's sweet, slightly resigned voice rang out. She secretly raised her face, her bright, watery eyes involuntarily glancing down at the handsome figure in white below.
