Chapter 1851 – Soul Offering
After the baptismal training of Xu Yang’s rich life force essence, a Yuan Dan crystal integrated together that was as big as half a palm coalesced.
”My goodness, such a large Yuan Dan, if I want to refine all the power here like this, I’m afraid that it would take half a year to do so.
Once it succeeds, I’m afraid that even with the strength of the Jindan realm, ten thousand years from now, one can reach a realm comparable to that of a Martial God because of this power.”
This girl, Lan Ling’er, was after all from the Empire’s number one clan who had seen a lot.
With her eyesight, she quickly saw the true value of this Yuan Dan crystal.
There was no doubt that having a crystal meant being able to add a Martial God level powerhouse to the entire empire.
Unfortunately, none of the people in this team were able to devour it.
Because none of them had yet reached the true peak of Mahayana, if they were to forcefully devour such a large amount of Yuan Dan power, it would tear their bodies apart.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Yang however sent this Yuan Dan crystal to the old emperor.
The old emperor’s was first stunned.
And then met his shocked gaze onto Xu Yang’s radiant eyes.
”Your Excellency what do you intend to do with this?”
Xu Yang laughed lightly.
”Your Majesty the Emperor doesn’t have to be polite, this one Yuan Dan crystal, you can use it to cultivate and foster a true beloved.
Nowadays, all the ruling classes within the empire have been completely controlled by that false emperor, even if you return to the empire, I’m afraid it will be difficult to regain power in a short period of time.
The usefulness of this Yuan Dan crystal will also be manifested later on.
There is no way for the few of us to stay with you inside the palace all the time.
After sending you back to the palace to finish off the priest, we will rush to the border battlefield of the empire at the first time, and the side of the palace will still rely on you to preside over it.
In the end, whether or not the situation can save the tide of madness depends on your own ability, more importantly, now you are still sealed in the body of the Empress’s broken soul origin.
Perhaps in the future, this Yuan Dan crystal will be able to come in handy in your hands.”
Xu Yang’s gift this time was really a bit too expensive, a Martial God level powerhouse definitely possessed a value comparable to several city-states for an empire.
The old emperor was truly ashamed to receive it, but after pondering for a moment, he also felt that Xu Yang’s exhortation was very reasonable, and that he was indeed able to use it.
”A great favor is not appreciated, Your Excellency Xu Yang’s contribution to my personal contribution to the entire empire is something I shall keep in mind.
Your Excellency, feel free to rest assured that as long as I am able to successfully retake the power, you will be the only faith in the future of the entire empire.”
The old emperor naturally knew clearly that with strength reaching a realm like Xu Yang’s, those extraterrestrial things had no meaning to him at all, and only by contributing the power of true faith would he be able to bring a certain amount of help to Xu Yang’s future path.
Therefore, this kind of feedback was the only valuable thing that the old emperor could come up with to repay Xu Yang.
After resolving the trouble in the plains battlefield, Xu Yang did not hesitate and immediately brought a few people around him towards the direction of the Imperial Capital.
Xu Yang had a premonition that the priest would never let up, he would definitely make a big fuss around the palace as the final venue for the showdown.
After all, there is no way to avoid a disaster, millions of people in the imperial capital are destined to be affected.
But after all, Xu Yang had not expected that priest to be much more ruthless than Xu Yang had imagined.
Right after his phantom body returned from the plains battlefield to his main body, that old man started to lay out his next defense plan almost without stopping.
Only to see a scepter in his hand waving a ghostly light flashing by, ten Martial God level believers clad in golden robes soon appeared in the palace.
”Greetings, Priest!”
The priest sitting on the emperor’s throne sighed helplessly.
”The information you guys reported back earlier.
The strength about that fellow called Xu Yang is indeed stronger than imagined, and a large portion of the five hundred Soul Puppets that were deployed out by me were all lost in that boy’s hands.
The inheritance he practiced could hardly find any weaknesses.
And there are many hidden cards behind him.
I predict that this kid will definitely become a big trouble for us to realize our plan.
It is imperative to hold him back as long as possible in this Imperial Palace battlefield, once we let the tiger return to the mountain, the consequences must not dare to be envisioned.”
When the Priest said this, each of these ten golden-robed believers in front of him had their faces stared at each other for a few moments standing in place, not knowing what to do.
”Your Excellency the Priest, if we want to fight that fellow hard, our strength alone is still far from reaching that level.
I’m afraid that only the Lord Priest himself will be able to return the favor.”
This time the Priest, however, did not presume to smile and shook his head.
Honestly speaking, I don’t have any certainty that I can block that kid either, because I’m almost certain that during the just-ended encounter in the plains battlefield, he was far from utilizing his truly terrifying undercard.
Adopting a sea of men approach will not work at all against that kid, so according to my plan to curb his rhythm, I must find that kid’s weakness, which is not in him per se.
”Hearing the Priest say this, the golden-robed believers below seemed to sense His Eminence’s true intentions as well.
”What you mean is that ……
intend to make a move within the Imperial City State?”
The priest nodded with a smile.
”There is no other way other than this, and the reason for summoning the ten of you to arrive is to gather your strength for me to use the shortest amount of time possible to create a power transmission formation for me, so that I can mobilize enough power to perform taboo level martial arts feats.
The millions of people throughout the Imperial Capital in this battle will be our greatest combat resource, as long as we can make full use of their value, we can definitely bring big trouble to that human brat.
The ten golden-robed believers rushed at the priest above the throne to clasp their fists and bow.
”Sacrificial wisdom, we will go and do it now!”
……
Witnessing these golden-robed believers in front of him disappearing the priest above the throne sucked in a breath of cool air.
Instinctively grasping the scepter in his hand leisurely spoke.
”No matter what, this battle must be won even if I have to pay a great price, as long as I can stop that kid’s footsteps in supporting the border battlefield, when I finish this soul offering, my strength will reach the peak of a true Martial God.
At that time, why would I need to fear that human brat!”
……
During this same period, Xu Yang’s team had arrived outside the gates of the Imperial Capital’s main city.
What Xu Yang did not expect was that the duo of Long Kun and the Ancient Serpent.
Surprisingly, they didn’t know when they had already left the city-state they were originally in, and had arrived outside the Imperial Capital early, waiting for Xu Yang’s few people to come and meet up.
”Hahaha, boss why are you guys so slow?
This stinky snake and I have been waiting for you guys for two days.”
Xu Yang’s few people also spoke to the duo with a look of surprise on their faces.
”Could it be that the threat to the city-state you are in has been completely lifted?”
Long Kun nodded with a big smile.
”It’s strange to say that for some reason, there were originally dozens of Ten Thousand Year Disciple level powerhouses stationed within the city-state!
Suddenly all of them were transferred by an order, and we took this opportunity to rush to the imperial capital to wait to meet up with you guys.”
