600: Destroy the country? Did you ask me if I agreed? I was targeted badly (please subscribe!)
In an instant, panic spread!
The terrifying might of an Emperor enveloped the entire Zhu Cang Country.
No one was not panicked, no one was not afraid!
"Emperor... why are you attacking us?"
Everyone was also very confused.
It was well known that Lin Yang's strength was already comparable to an Emperor's, and he hadn't provoked any other Emperors. Now, a powerful Emperor suddenly appeared, intending to destroy their country, leaving everyone in Bai Zi deeply puzzled.
"Which Emperor has graced us with his presence? What has our Zhu Cang Country done to offend the Emperor?"
The next moment, despite her confusion and fear, Bai Zi still forced herself to suppress her inner panic and questioned him.
"Hmph!"
A cold snort instantly made Bai Zi's body tremble, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
"You are not worthy to speak with this Emperor. Let that Lin Yang come!"
Quality Glutton's cold snort echoed throughout the entire Zhu Cang Country.
Since the assassination failed, he decided to directly confront him!
The reason he didn't immediately destroy the country was to force Lin Yang to appear.
"Is he the Country Lord's enemy?"
Bai Zi clutched her chest, her face pale.
"When did the Country Lord provoke such a powerful enemy?"
The others remained puzzled.
They knew that Lin Yang hadn't provoked anyone since he guarded the Boundary Wall. This sudden appearance of an Emperor was too abrupt.
"I don't know." Bai Zi also shook her head, then looked towards Lin Yang's secluded cultivation chamber.
She knew Lin Yang was in seclusion, but she didn't know it was a temporary clone.
Now, seeing Quality Glutton appear from the direction of the seclusion chamber, she immediately understood something and whispered:
"The Country Lord might not be in the country. This Emperor wants to coerce us to force the Country Lord out."
"Then what do we do?" Everyone now looked to Bai Zi for leadership.
Bai Zi gave a wry smile: "I don't know either. Judging from his aura, this Emperor is probably not an ordinary Emperor. Although the Country Lord can match ordinary Emperors, he's probably not this Emperor's opponent. Not appearing is the wisest choice."
Everyone fell silent.
Indeed.
Not appearing was the wisest choice.
But if Lin Yang didn't appear, they would be in danger.
Bai Zi, however, added: "But from what I know of the Country Lord, he would never abandon us. His current absence must be due to some urgent matter."
Everyone exchanged glances and nodded.
After all, Shang Chengfeng was still in the country.
He was Lin Yang's disciple.
Lin Yang would absolutely not sit idly by.
But his continued absence surely meant he wasn't in the country.
"Bai Zi, can you contact the Country Lord?" A peak Returning Origin Realm cultivator asked.
Bai Zi immediately replied: "I've already sent a message to the Country Lord, but he hasn't responded."
Everyone fell silent again.
Bai Zi looked up at the Emperor's figure, deliberately shrouded, and whispered:
"Let's wait. This mysterious Emperor is here for the Country Lord. He shouldn't kill us before the Country Lord appears. He still wants to use us to coerce the Country Lord."
Everyone nodded silently... The commotion in Zhu Cang Country immediately spread to the surrounding countries.
Inside the Kunyu Country palace.
Kunyu Country Lord watched from afar. Although Quality Glutton deliberately altered his voice and appearance, not showing his true face, he still recognized him:
"It's Quality Glutton! He actually wants to destroy Zhu Cang Country! Is it because Your Excellency Lin Yang refused His Highness Xuan Lie's invitation?"
Kunyu Country Lord's expression changed, and finally, he gritted his teeth and secretly sent a message to Lin Yang:
"Your Excellency Lin Yang, the Emperor who is now trying to destroy your Zhu Cang Country is suspected to be Quality Glutton. He is at the extreme third level, cultivates the Fire Dao, and has mastered the complete Dao methods of the Fire Dao. You must be careful!"
Although he and Quality Glutton had some dealings, to be precise, Quality Glutton had once coveted a treasure of his, which he had obtained in a forbidden land, and he was forced to offer it.
Compared to Quality Glutton, he was more optimistic about Lin Yang.
Therefore, at this moment, he revealed all his knowledge about Quality Glutton... Inside the Saint Xuan Ancient Country.
Xuan Xiao and Butler Fu also received the report immediately.
Both of them looked extremely serious: "A mysterious Emperor wants to destroy Zhu Cang Country?"
Xuan Xiao's eyes were cold: "It must be Xuan Lie's people!"
"Your Highness, what should we do now? Should I make a move?"
Butler Fu asked:
"The Dao Rhythm Great Hall completely blocks all communication. Lin Yang probably won't receive the message. If we don't act, when he comes out of seclusion and sees his country destroyed, we'll have trouble explaining it!"
"This... Before he entered, did he say he was confident about breaking through to the Emperor realm?" Xuan Xiao took a deep breath and asked slowly.
Butler Fu nodded: "Lin Yang said that understanding this time should not be a big problem."
After saying this, Butler Fu paused, then continued:
"Your Highness, although the situation is special now, with his powerful concealment methods, I think even if he doesn't break through this time, it doesn't matter if his identity is exposed. He can completely hide in the Ancient Country and slowly break through, waiting for a future day.
"His concealment methods, unless the Saint Xuan Rulers personally act, others would probably find it difficult to detect. Let me make a move and save his Zhu Cang Country."
Hearing this, Xuan Xiao no longer hesitated and nodded: "Alright, Butler Fu, you go and act personally. No matter what, save Zhu Cang Country!"
"Yes!"
Butler Fu took the order and was about to set off the next moment.
But, suddenly, Butler Fu's movements paused, and a strange expression appeared on his face:
"Your Highness, I don't need to act. Someone has already made a move."
Xuan Xiao also looked strange: "It's Lu Zhaolin again. Is their Lu family determined to befriend Lin Yang? At this critical juncture, they still dare to offend Xuan Lie."
...Yes, that's right.
Inside Zhu Cang Country, Lu Zhaolin appeared right after Quality Glutton's threat.
"Quality Glutton, hiding your head and showing your tail, do you think others won't recognize you?"
Lu Zhaolin's body was surrounded by the power of laws, and he immediately revealed Quality Glutton's identity.
Quality Glutton's face darkened: "Lu Zhaolin, you're meddling again!"
"Haha, this isn't meddling." Lu Zhaolin laughed loudly, staring at Quality Glutton and sneering: "If you want to destroy my little brother Lin's country, you'll have to ask if I agree first!"
"Damn it, Lu Zhaolin, don't think this Emperor can't kill you!" Quality Glutton was furious.
"Then try it!" Lu Zhaolin snorted coldly, "Quality Glutton, if you have the guts, let's fight outside the heavens!"
Saying that, Lu Zhaolin's figure shot up into the sky: "If you're scared, then roll back to Sheng Xuan Mountain."
Quality Glutton's hair and beard instantly flew in anger:
"Lu! Zhao! Lin!"
"You!"
"You're courting death!"
Boom!
The next moment, Quality Glutton's figure also shot up from the ground, heading straight for the heavens.
"It's Lord Lu Zhaolin who made a move again."
Bai Zi and the others felt a sense of relief at having escaped death... Inside the Dao Rhythm Great Hall.
"The temporary clone was actually assassinated."
Lin Yang's eyes were deep.
Although the Dao Rhythm Great Hall blocked communication, it couldn't block the connection between him and his temporary clone!
"It's Quality Glutton!"
In an instant, Lin Yang knew everything.
The temporary clone could act as a certain degree of surveillance for a short period after death.
He understood the entire process.
"Quality Glutton! Xuan Lie!"
Killing intent surged in Lin Yang's eyes.
Just because he refused their invitation, they not only tried to assassinate him but also wanted to destroy Zhu Cang Country!
"Damn it!"
Lin Yang's heart was already set on killing Quality Glutton and Xuan Lie.
"Fortunately, Senior Lu Zhaolin helped again."
At the same time, Lin Yang was immensely grateful for Lu Zhaolin's help.
"Host, since a powerful expert has already come to your aid, please focus on comprehending the Dao Rhythm laws and seeking a breakthrough."
The system spoke to comfort him.
The temporary clone's ability to act as surveillance was also through the system.
So the system also knew everything that had just happened.
"Mm."
Lin Yang nodded, composed himself, and once again focused on his comprehension.
This time, he had to break through to the Ten Thousand Laws Realm!
Otherwise, facing a Ten Thousand Laws Emperor like Quality Glutton, he would have no chance of winning!
"Laws and Dao, ever-changing, but all changes do not deviate from their origin."
"Space Dao, my current combat methods include Space Spirit Lock, Space Cage, and Space Cut. They are actually sufficient. The Space Dao doesn't have many methods, but its power can be continuously increased without limit."
"The direction of progress, besides increasing power, also includes extending and enhancing its capabilities."
"Laws, to a certain extent, not only enhance the power of existing spatial methods but also significantly boost their capabilities."
"The strength of spatial methods is determined by their power."
"And power will reach its corresponding upper limit at each stage. At this point, capabilities are needed to boost it. This is not just about breaking through the current upper limit of power, but a qualitative change!"
"It's like in a game, attack power is directly displayed as power, while capabilities can be superficially understood as true damage."
"When attack power reaches its limit, by increasing true damage, the damage reaches another height and level."
Lin Yang pondered, cleverly applying reality to better understand the relationship between power and capability.
Of course, capabilities were not just that.
But he could only understand it to this extent for now.
"Laws are the greatest direction for capability enhancement."
"At the same time, laws can also manifest with a single thought, broadening the heavens and earth!"
"What is meant by 'words become law' is capability!"
"Without destroying anything, one can change the form of matter."
"But unfortunately, I can't yet achieve this step."
"Ten Thousand Laws Emperors probably can't achieve 'words become law'. It's estimated that one needs to be at least in the Transformation Dao Realm to do so."
"..."
Time quietly flowed by in his enlightenment.
Unknowingly, over five hundred years passed.
This day.
"It's done!"
Lin Yang opened his eyes, a look of surprise in them.
He had comprehended the profound mystery of that layer of law.
He had naturally broken through to the Ten Thousand Laws Realm!
"Space Spirit Lock!"
"Space Cage!"
"Appear!"
Lin Yang murmured.
Both major methods manifested.
Their power and capabilities were countless times stronger than before!
"This capability is no less than the power of veteran Emperors like Emperor Qing Ying!"
Lin Yang was very satisfied.
He had just broken through, and to have reached this level was already very good.
Mainly, the gift from the Universe Zone had greatly benefited him.
Now, his comprehension of complete Dao Rhythm had expanded his gains.
The deeper his comprehension of the Dao, the greater his capabilities would be.
This no longer had anything to do with his realm.
Power was related to realm strength.
And capability was only related to the depth of comprehension of the Dao.
Of course, realm also determined whether one could comprehend the Dao to a very high degree.
"Only over five hundred years have passed, with more than four hundred years remaining. Senior Lu Zhaolin has already saved Zhu Cang Country, so I'm not in a hurry to exit seclusion, lest I waste this opportunity to comprehend the complete Dao Rhythm."
Lin Yang murmured, then once again focused on his research and comprehension.
However, he didn't know that over these five hundred years, the outside world had changed considerably.
The Xuan Lie Lineage, relying on the status of Saint Xuan Ruler Xuanming Wilderness, had subtly become the strongest lineage in the contemporary Saint Xuan Ancient Country, successfully suppressing the other lineages.
The Xuan Tai Barren Sacred Profound Sovereign Lineage, where Xuan Xiao and others belonged, had suffered the greatest losses in these past few hundred years.
Xuan Xiao stood before the fish pond, his face very grim:
"With the Saint Xuan Rulers not making a move, the Xuan Lie Lineage has three Invincible Emperors. Over these five hundred years, they have already seized over thirty percent of our ore veins and industries. If this continues, it will reach fifty percent, and by then, all our rights will be stripped by half!"
Butler Fu was also worried: "Our Saint Xuan Ruler's strength is inherently not strong among the various Saint Xuan Rulers. Now, being deliberately targeted by Saint Xuan Ruler Xuanming Wilderness, they want to completely suppress us below fifty percent, making us lose the most important qualification to oversee the Saint Xuan Spirit Land!"
"Alas, it's a pity that we don't even have an Invincible Emperor on our side. Otherwise, we wouldn't have lost thirty percent of our territory and industries so quickly, even if we only had one Invincible Emperor to barely hold on." Xuan Xiao couldn't help but rub his brows, letting out a long sigh.
He was very troubled and somewhat annoyed.
In just over five hundred years, they had been suppressed to this extent. One can imagine that in a few more hundred years, their lineage's industries would be seized to fifty percent. Once it reached fifty percent, it meant they would lose the qualification to take turns overseeing the Saint Xuan Spirit Land.
And the Saint Xuan Spirit Land was one of the places that produced the most top-tier resources, incredibly important.
Once lost, their lineage's future days would only become more difficult.
"If only we also had an Invincible Emperor." Butler Fu also sighed.
Invincible Emperor.
As the name suggests, in the absence of Dao Rulers, they were the strongest existences below Dao Rulers.
And Dao Rulers, due to certain reasons, generally did not easily make a move.
So, in reality, in the high-level spacetime, Invincible Emperors were the most terrifying existences.
Dao Rulers were high above, and ordinary cultivators didn't even have a chance to offend them.
But Invincible Emperors were different; they could act anywhere. Offending an Invincible Emperor would have dire consequences.
At the same time, Invincible Emperors were also the most advantageous existences for competing for resources.
Top-tier resources all depended on these Invincible Emperors to contend for. Sometimes, even some Dao Rulers needed to use Invincible Emperors to achieve resource competition.
So the status of Invincible Emperors was very transcendent.
Of course, their numbers were not large.
But because Saint Xuan Ruler Xuanming Wilderness had made a breakthrough in his cultivation, their lineage attracted the joining of Invincible Emperors, and there were already three Invincible Emperors present!
This was a very formidable power.
Their Xuan Taihuang Lineage was relatively ordinary, and they didn't even have a single Invincible Emperor.
Otherwise, even just one Invincible Emperor could have struggled to hold on, not falling to this state in just five hundred years.
Suddenly.
Xuan Xiao said: "I'll go see my father and ask him to meet with the Saint Xuan Ruler. Continuing like this is simply not a solution."
Butler Fu was startled: "Your Highness, this... isn't appropriate, is it? The Saint Xuan Ruler probably won't care about our small matters."
"The Saint Xuan Ruler won't care about our small matters, but he will care about the Saint Xuan Spirit Land, after all." Xuan Xiao's eyes burned brightly.
