241: Chaos Vibrating Blade, the top leaders of Daxia were shaken by one person

Jiang Yuan raised his right hand, and the extremely dense dark light condensed into a mark, like a black hole. The darkness it emitted was viscous like water, as if any gaze that touched it would be absorbed. Just a wisp of dark energy possessed effects such as [Corrosion], [Collapse], [Slowness], [Devour], [Absorb], and [Seal]. He felt it carefully again.

Compared to the [Dark Throne], which could create a dark space and set rules, the [Eternal Night's Dark Divine Kingdom], which had advanced to a divine-level talent, was more comprehensive and its power was even more terrifying. The space it created became a true divine kingdom. Even those in the King Realm would find it difficult to break free if trapped within. It no longer needed to set rules, but instead forcibly prohibited all abilities except for darkness! Within it, Jiang Yuan was the true Dark Monarch! He could control everything as he pleased!

"As expected of a divine-level dark talent." Jiang Yuan sighed inwardly.

It was simply too strong.

If it wasn't him who possessed it, but someone else possessed a talent of this level, even he would feel a bit tricky to deal with.

"Oh, right."

"After defeating the Gatekeeper, there was also a volume of [Exclusive Skill Book] that hadn't been used..."

Jiang Yuan found the skill book and silently willed to use it.

[Ding! You used an Exclusive Skill Book and obtained the exclusive skill - Chaotic Blade Vibration]

[Chaotic Blade Vibration]: Can only be used while holding a blade or sword type weapon. When used, there is a 50% chance to trigger absolute defense, blocking one attack of any form and reflecting the attack with 150% power. Cooldown: 1 hour.

"It's actually a defensive skill that can reflect attacks..." Jiang Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, a little surprised.

Any skill that involves terms like absolute, any, or arbitrary is ridiculously strong!

He immediately clicked to learn it.

Then Jiang Yuan closed his eyes and immersed himself in comprehending this skill.

Time passed unknowingly.

The Cave Heaven Thunder Tears, worth hundreds of millions and enough to easily annihilate a Prefecture Lord's body, were also fully absorbed by Jiang Yuan without him realizing.

By the time his Immortal Divine Body reached mastery, even if he didn't reach the King Realm, he could resist beings in the King Realm without using the Golden Rule.

At that time, he would be able to sweep across Blue Star with his two divine-level talents.

...Meanwhile.

After taking a bath, Yuan Ling returned to her room, took out a mysterious jade talisman, and teleported to a mysterious Small World that only the Ten Sovereigns could enter.

There was only one person at the golden round table shrouded in clouds and mist.

He sat at the head seat, his figure obscured by the clouds and mist, holding an ancient book.

As Yuan Ling appeared by the round table.

He raised his head and smiled, "It's you."

"Coming so late, is something the matter?"

The voice was that of a young man.

Yuan Ling nodded and said respectfully, "Old Zhou. I have something to discuss. I'll trouble you to ask them to come over."

"What is it related to?"

"The young man who saved South River City, he's back."

Old Zhou paused his movements, looked at Yuan Ling with some surprise, and saw that she didn't seem to be lying.

Old Zhou smiled and said, "Then it is indeed necessary to have a discussion."

After speaking, he pointed his hand, and a golden bell phantom appeared in the sky of this Small World, vibrating and emitting sound. The loud bell sound spread like ripples, stirring the sea of clouds.

Old Zhou said, "Everyone come over, there's something to discuss."

Throughout Great Xia, the Ten Sovereigns members, who were either resting or doing their own things, heard the bell and his voice at the same time. They frowned and all put down what they were doing.

By the round table, phantoms appeared one after another, like lit candles.

Of the Ten Sovereigns, a total of nine arrived.

"Old man, why call us here so late?"

A petite figure with twin pigtails lay on the table, yawning and saying, "I'm so sleepy."

A muscular, burly man crossed his arms and said in a deep voice, "I still need to inspect the fortifications of the cities on the Western Hammer border. If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have gas, release it quickly."

Old Zhou smiled and said, "It's not me who has something to say."

He looked at Yuan Ling, "Alright, everyone is here, you can speak now."

Everyone's gaze instantly turned to Yuan Ling.

Yuan Ling waved her hand, and the bounty order from the Japan appeared above the round table.

"Everyone should have seen this, right?"

A lazy young man leaning back in his chair with his hands behind his head said, "We saw it, what about it?"

Another round, plump figure said, "It's just for him? Although being wanted by a country is a bit rare, it's not unheard of. He's only a seventh-tier. Even if he comes to our Great Xia, wouldn't it be fine to let the Patrol Division handle it? Whether it's recruiting him or killing him, is there any need to call us here in the middle of the night? Don't you think?"

He was speaking to the black figure next to him.

The black figure remained silent.

He was the Director-General of Great Xia's Patrol Division, in charge of the strongest Zero Team.

Lu Beiyuan was also a member of the Zero Team once.

"This Shirakawa Gen's appearance, I always feel like I've seen it somewhere."

The figure with sword energy rising and falling around him, playing with a small sword at his fingertips, spoke.

"Could he be that young man from South River City before?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression was startled.

Yuan Ling nodded, "That's right."

"You mean, that young man who formed a contract with the Yin Lord has returned alive from the Abyss?"

An old figure asked in astonishment, "Can you be sure?"

Yuan Ling nodded, "I can be sure, he is Jiang Yuan."

"Why?" the round, plump figure asked.

"I have already seen him. He is currently in the Imperial Capital, at my residence," Yuan Ling said.

Everyone fell silent at once.

Yuan Ling couldn't possibly lie about something like this.

That means.

This is true!

That Shirakawa Gen is Jiang Yuan!

But... why?

No one understood the terror and danger of the Abyss better than them, which was why they found it incredible that the young man returned alive.

How did he do it?

For a moment.

An atmosphere of shock, doubt, astonishment, curiosity, and incomprehension enveloped the Great Xia higher-ups present.

Old Zhou looked at Yuan Ling and said, "Tell us in detail."

Yuan Ling nodded and recounted Jiang Yuan's return in Hai City, the conflict he caused, and everything he did in the Japan, one by one.

The more everyone listened, the more shocked and disbelieving they became.

Hearing the latter part.

The burly man couldn't help but stand up and said in disbelief, "You mean, he, a seventh-tier Martial Artist, not only suppressed multiple Quasi-Kings but also exchanged blows with Xiao Chenzhou?! What kind of joke are you making?!"

As a great general in the army, he was extremely familiar with the might of the King Zhenhai and held him in great reverence.

Hearing this news at this moment was no different from feeling his worldview collapse.

The others also had solemn expressions.

The lazy young man sat up straight and slowly said, "Yuan Ling, you can be responsible for what you said, right?"

The twin-tailed girl sat up straight, and the squinting swordsman who hadn't opened his eyes for a long time also opened his eyes.

"If there is even a hint of falsehood in what I said, my position as one of the Ten Sovereigns can be revoked," Yuan Ling said. "To be honest, I'm not confident I could beat him either."

Since she had said so much.

Even if everyone found it hard to believe, they had no choice but to believe it.

"It's only been half a year since he became the Martial Arts Champion..." someone said in a low voice.

"A seventeen-year-old young man, his combat power comparable to a Quasi-King?"

"Incredible."

"Unfathomable."

"Is there a possibility that an existence from the Abyss has possessed him and descended?"

"We must treat this seriously, thoroughly investigate, and not be negligent in the slightest."

Everyone discussed animatedly.

Yuan Ling's eyes flickered, feeling a bit disdainful.

Towards a returning hero who escaped death, their first reaction wasn't joy and excitement, but suspicion and conjecture.

Recalling what happened in South River City at that time.

If it wasn't for the Ten Sovereigns voting to decide and making the decision to abandon South River City, how could things have turned out like that?

In their eyes, a million ordinary people were truly just numbers.

The great feat Jiang Yuan performed afterwards caused the Ten Ministers Association to lose face and their credibility to decrease.

Several Ten Sovereigns didn't say it out loud, but they actually kept it in their hearts, secretly resenting Jiang Yuan's meddling and foolishness.

The so-called Ten Sovereigns were, in the final analysis, merely representatives chosen after deliberation by various forces, forming a power structure.

Power comes with poison.

Everyone had their own thoughts; how many were truly wholeheartedly considering Great Xia?

Yuan Ling inexplicably felt a little tired.

"Regardless," Old Zhou closed the ancient book and said, "The return of such a Genius is only good for our Great Xia, not bad. At least the National War will have no suspense."

Everyone fell silent.

Indeed.

In the current world, geniuses whose combat power is comparable to a seventh-tier Prefecture Lord are considered top prodigies.

Comparable to a Quasi-King, or even the King Realm? What a joke!

Letting him participate in the National War wouldn't be like throwing a Godzilla into a chicken coop?

It was bound to be without suspense.

But this also meant that one of the five members of the National War team would be squeezed out.

It might be the Prodigy of one of the great families, which would inevitably harm the interests of some of the Ten Sovereigns who came from wealthy and noble families.

But at this moment, there was nothing they could say.

Old Zhou looked at Yuan Ling and said, "Regarding the National War, ask for his opinion beforehand and don't force him. As long as he is willing to participate, he can name any condition."

Yuan Ling nodded.

The expressions of the others changed slightly.

"Then what about the Japan?" the round, plump figure asked.

Old Zhou's gaze swept over them, "Heh heh, since when does our Great Xia need to look at their faces?"

The round, plump figure responsible for managing Great Xia's finances paused.

Old Zhou looked at Yuan Ling, "After all, he is the owner of the purple dragon medal. Whatever requests he has, as long as they are not too excessive, satisfy him."

"I understand."
