Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 399 The King Killer

Seeing that Shui Lanxin had obtained the divine succession, Ye Liangchen felt that his prophecy of the divine realm's disaster was quite powerful. It seems that the gods are now less demanding in choosing successors in order to escape.

It's just unknown whether the older generation of powerful figures from the three major sects and two empires have received any divine inheritance, such as Tang Xiao and Sword Douluo. If they have also received divine inheritance, the continent will become increasingly chaotic in the future.

However, it doesn't matter. Even if those powerful figures from major sects obtain divine inheritance, I still have enough strength to deal with the future chaos on the continent.

Thinking of this, Ye Liangchen didn't care. He figured he could deal with whatever came his way.

……

The banquet was quickly prepared. Ye Liangchen also summoned the parents of Xue Wu, Yu Hairou, and others, as well as the old man Mercury, the city lord of Tianshui, to hold a gathering and discuss the future situation.

"Xiao Chen, your disguise as a powerful figure from Ice God Island was exposed a few years ago. The Heaven Dou Royal Family already knows that you killed Emperor Xue Ye, and they have given you the title of 'King Killer' and spread your crimes all over the continent."

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, Shui Lanxin told Ye Liangchen about the matter and asked how the little guy would handle it.

"A tyrant?"

"That title is quite good. Has the Tiandou Empire issued an arrest warrant for me?"

Ye Liangchen found it quite amusing to hear that the Heavenly Dou royal family had actually accused him of being a regicide.

"There's no arrest warrant, probably because they're afraid you'll break into the Heavenly Dou royal family again and extort money from them."

"The Heavenly Dou Royal Family's actions are merely empty talk, creating public opinion and brainwashing the people of the empire to win their hearts. However, the effect is minimal, because everyone knows that Old Man Xueye was killed by you back then because he participated in the auction of slaves."

Shui Lanxin revealed the Heavenly Dou Empire's underhanded tactics, the purpose of which was simply to disgust Ye Liangchen.

"Then just ignore them."

Ye Liangchen smiled calmly, not taking the accusation of being a regicide to heart. He would find an opportunity to visit the Heavenly Dou Royal Family later and take some money as compensation. The Heavenly Dou Empire attacked him with words, so he would rob them of their money. It was perfectly reasonable.

"We have a large number of Title Douluos here, so the Empire doesn't dare to take action yet, only targeting our businesses. However, the Empire has also stationed 30 troops in Mills City, clearly waiting for an opportunity. Mills City is only 200 miles east of Tenglong City. Once they receive orders from the Heaven Dou Empire, they will launch an attack on us immediately."

The Lord of Mercury described the current situation and urged everyone to be vigilant.

"Grandpa Mercury, how many troops do we have here?"

Ye Liangchen inquired about our situation from Mercury, looking at the developments over the past few years.

"We currently have 80,000 troops, including 5,000 special forces soldiers. Each of them can fight ten against one. The combined forces of Shenfeng City and Chihuo City number 100,000, including 6,000 special forces soldiers. They are ready to cooperate with us at any time."

"If there is the slightest disturbance to the 30 troops in Mills City, our three elemental cities will quickly surround them from three directions and wipe out the Empire's 30 troops as soon as possible. After all, Mills City is thousands of miles away from Tiandou City, and the Empire simply cannot provide support."

The Lord of Mercury City presented his battle plan to Ye Liangchen, stating that the threat posed by the 30-strong army was not a concern at all.

"So many special forces?"

Ye Liangchen hadn't expected that the three elemental cities would actually train tens of thousands of special forces soldiers; this was beyond his expectations.

"Xiao Chen, our Spirit Hall has over 100,000 troops, including 12,000 special forces soldiers. The total military strength of all the major kingdoms is close to 400,000, and we are ready to support you at any time."

Bibi Dong has been preparing for Ye Liangchen all along. In three or four years, the Spirit Hall has built up a force of 100,000. Moreover, the Spirit Hall now controls the Barak Kingdom, the Silvers Kingdom, and the Häagen-Dazs Kingdom, which can be merged at any time. With manpower, financial resources, and material resources, they are not afraid of the Empire at all.

"It seems that the advantage is in my hands now."

When Dugu Bo and the others heard Bibi Dong reveal the true strength of the Spirit Hall, they immediately felt that the Heavenly Dou Empire was no longer capable of causing any trouble.

"By the way! Xiao Chen, Liu Erlong came to see us a year ago. She said she wanted to come and join you because her father is the second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. We can't make up our minds yet, so you should decide this matter."

At this moment, Ye Suling remembered Liu Erlong and told her about it.

"How did you get involved with Liu Erlong?"

Shui Lanxin and Bibi Dong stared at Ye Liangchen with meaningful smiles on their faces, thinking: Could it be that Liu Erlong, that tigress, is also lusting after this little guy?

The others also looked at Ye Liangchen with gossip in their eyes. After all, Liu Erlong was a great beauty, and everyone thought that this little guy might have a relationship with that woman.

"A few years ago, Senior Poseidon and I encountered Dean Erlong in Sunset Forest when she was obtaining her eighth spirit ring. At that time, she was injured by a Crimson Flame Demon Dragon that was over 70,000 years old, so we stepped in to help her hunt down the Crimson Flame Demon Dragon."

"Afterwards, I reminded her that Yu Xiaogang would definitely bring Tang San back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in a powerful way... So I suggested to Dean Liu Erlong that she take her father's lineage into seclusion or join the Spirit Hall."

Feeling uncomfortable under everyone's gaze, Ye Liangchen had no choice but to tell them about his encounter with Liu Erlong.

"Oh, I see!"

"Liu Erlong is now a high-level Soul Douluo. If she is willing to join us, that's fine too."

Everyone suddenly realized that splitting the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would be quite beneficial. Although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan hadn't explicitly declared its support for the Heaven Dou Empire yet, with Yu Xiaogang's connection, they would eventually be bound to Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's chariot of revenge, given the extreme hatred those two held for the Spirit Hall and Ye Liangchen. If Liu Erlong could lead her father's lineage to separate from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, it would effectively weaken a portion of the Heaven Dou Empire's power.

"War cannot break out before Tang San becomes a god. The Heaven Dou Empire has too few high-end forces, so they dare not start a war for the time being."

"Now there's another problem. The gods are all fleeing, and they'll be passing down their divine positions. According to the intelligence I've received, the Shrek brothers and Ning Rongrong from Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have all received divine inheritances. Dai Mubai received the War God inheritance, Oscar the Food God, Ma Hongjun the Yin Nether God, Tailong the Barbarian God inheritance, and Tang San, in addition to the Rakshasa God inheritance, also received the Yin Sha God inheritance. The Rakshasa God did this to exploit Tang San's hatred for us and incite war."

"Do you see the snowflake mark between Aunt Lan's eyebrows? She also received a divine inheritance, becoming the Frost Goddess, a second-level deity."

"I'm still unsure whether any of the powerful figures from the three major sects and the two great empires will receive the divine inheritance. If their powerful youths also receive the inheritance, the future war will be extremely chaotic."

"Future wars will be wars between gods, so we should focus on strengthening our own power for now."

Ye Liangchen reminded everyone not to be too arrogant. Although we have enough high-end combat power, our army is smaller than the Empire's. Once a war breaks out, we will have to face the Empire's million-strong army.

"Ah! So many gods have passed down their divine positions? What on earth happened?"

Ye Cailan, Dugu Bo, and the others all looked on with curiosity.

"Actually, it was Xiao Chen who released a prophecy of disaster in the divine realm, which scared away all the gods. In order to survive, the gods had no choice but to pass on their divine positions... The current situation of the divine realm can be said to have been changed by Xiao Chen's words."

Bibi Dong explained to everyone that even gods are not omnipotent and are also afraid of death.

"Hiss! A single sentence could change the entire landscape of the divine realm?"

Everyone gasped in astonishment. So, Ye Liangchen was even more powerful than those gods.

"Xiao Chen, the Shrek brothers are so weak, yet they were able to inherit a divine position. Surely we'll get one too, right?"

Ye Cailan looked at Ye Liangchen. Her intuition told her that Shui Bing'er and Feng Xiaotian must have also received the divine inheritance.

"Of course!" Ye Liangchen nodded.

"Let me tell you, this trip to Poseidon Island really amazed me."

"Xiao Chen and the others are now stronger than you can imagine. Among them, Yue'er has the highest soul power, reaching level 97 Title Douluo. Next are Ling'er and Bing'er, at level 96 and 95 respectively. ... Xiang Xiang is a level 84 Soul Douluo, which can be considered the lowest in cultivation among these young people."

"In addition, everyone received the divine inheritance."

Bibi Dong gave a vivid and engaging presentation to everyone about Shui Bing'er and the opportunities they had.

"Wow! Is it that amazing? Are we dreaming?"

"So, that means we'll have over 20 gods on our side in the future? That's incredible!"

When everyone heard that the group of people Ye Liangchen took to Seagod Island for training were at least Soul Douluo level, they couldn't believe their speed of improvement.

"I never imagined our daughter would become a Title Douluo so quickly..."

When Xue Wu, Yu Hairou, and the other parents learned that their daughters had become Title Douluo, they jumped up in excitement.

"Waaaah...!"

Several beautiful women were so moved that they cried, tears streaming down their faces. Among them were the mothers of Ye Suling, Xue Wu, and Yu Hairou.

"Aunties, this is a happy occasion, why are you all crying?"

Ye Liangchen was speechless when he saw the beautiful women crying. It was just that his daughter had become a Title Douluo. It wasn't a big deal!

"You brat, try to understand them, they're just excited."

Shui Lanxin and her sister, Shui Lingfeng, were also very excited. Their two girls had really brought honor to the Shui clan. At such a young age, they were already Super Douluo. It was as if their ancestors' graves were emitting auspicious smoke.

"Xiao Chen, you're really amazing! You've turned those girls into Title Douluos in such a short time, it's simply a miracle!"

Dugu Bo knew that those girls were able to become Title Douluos entirely because of Ye Liangchen, that monstrous talent, who helped them take off.

"Thank you for nurturing Xiangxiang, Master. I am deeply grateful."

Old Man Baihe stood up and respectfully bowed to Ye Liangchen. When his granddaughter left, she was only at the Soul Master level. In less than four years, she had reached the level 84 Soul Douluo. Such a speed of improvement was simply a miracle.

"You're welcome." Ye Liangchen waved his hand dismissively, telling the old man not to take it to heart.

"Old White Bird, Xiangxiang has really taken off this time! Xiangxiang is already a level 84 Soul Douluo! It feels like we old guys have wasted our lives cultivating like dogs, haha..."

When Niu Gao and Yang Wudi heard that Bai Chenxiang was already a level 84 Soul Douluo, they both laughed heartily, feeling proud of the little girl.

"Sect Leader, what is your current strength?"

Yang Wushuang was very curious about Ye Liangchen's current strength. As a Soul Douluo, he felt like an ant in front of this monstrous young man.

"Yeah, Xiao Chen, you haven't shown us your skills yet!"

Shui Lanxin and the others all turned their gazes toward Ye Liangchen. Jin Ling'er and Shui Bing'er had both become Super Douluo, so this little guy must be even more terrifying.

"Me? I'm only level 99."

"Buzzing..."

Ye Liangchen stood up and immediately revealed 18 spirit rings for everyone to see. In an instant, the colorful spirit rings emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the entire hall and creating an incredibly magnificent scene.

"Ah...this...a golden spirit ring?"

"Could this be the million-year soul ring that Xiao Chen mentioned before?"

Shui Lanxin, Ye Cailan, and the others were stunned when they saw Ye Liangchen's 18 colorful soul rings.

"Everyone, what do you think? Wasn't that a big surprise?"

Bibi Dong looked at everyone with a smile, finding it very amusing, as their expressions were exactly the same as hers back then.

"This is indeed a huge surprise. A level 99 Title Douluo—that's on par with His Holiness the Pope."

"The Pavilion Master now stands at the very pinnacle of the Soul Master world..."

Everyone was incredibly excited as they looked at Ye Liangchen's impressive array of spirit rings. With this, no matter how chaotic the continent became in the future, this little guy would definitely be able to sweep everything aside.

"Xiao Chen, how strong are you now? Why don't you have a match with His Holiness the Pope and show us?"

Ye Cailan really wanted to witness Ye Liangchen's true battle; a duel between demigod-level powerhouses would surely be spectacular.

"I can't beat Xiao Chen. I don't think I can last three moves against him."

Bibi Dong recalled how Ye Liangchen had neutralized her and Poseidon's divine skills in one fell swoop, and felt that her status as a demigod was fake.

"Your Holiness, I think you wouldn't last a single move against my master. Among demigod-level experts, my master is now unmatched. Even ordinary level 100 experts are no match for him."

Yingmei revealed a proud expression and boasted to everyone about Ye Liangchen's strength.

"Shadow Demon, you're right."

Bibi Dong nodded in agreement. Although she had never fought Ye Liangchen, this little guy was an unparalleled genius, and she was no match for him at all.

"Shadow Demon, stop bragging. If you keep going, you'll blow your own horn to the heavens."

Ye Liangchen was speechless as he watched this arrogant tigress boast about her strength.

"Hahaha…!"

Everyone was amused by Yingmei's arrogant demeanor.

"Master, aren't you going to give yourself a title?"

Niu Gao and Yang Wudi felt that Ye Liangchen was already a level 99 Title Douluo, so he should at least get a cool title.

"Account bans? That's all fleeting, like clouds in the sky, they'll dissipate with a gust of wind."

"To keep a low profile, please don't spread the word that I've become a Limit Douluo, or it will scare people."

Ye Liangchen smiled calmly. These people always liked to give themselves titles to show off, but he had no interest in titles or anything like that.

"Ha ha…!"

Everyone burst into laughter at Ye Liangchen's nonchalant demeanor. Although this little guy liked to keep a low profile, taking it too far was just showing off.
