Chapter 1037: Chapter 137: Controlling Dragon Nation
The mighty figures in the Grand Hall were additionally terrified, their spirits scattered.
Prince Liang Jian, still captured in Yang Xiaotian’s hand, watching Wu Miao and others prostrating, was even more frightened, chattering incessantly.
These were twelve Divine Emperors!
True Divine Emperors!
For the Dragon Nation, the Divine Emperor was supreme, the absolute overlord.
Yet, in the blink of an eye, one was crushed outright, eleven were all struck down to the ground and then all knelt, with no chance whatsoever to resist.
The Divine Emperor, to be so weak?
But everyone knew it wasn’t that the Divine Emperor was too weak.
It was that Red-Haired Old Demon and the four sorcerers from the Ghost Witch Sect were too powerful, so powerful that not even the Divine Emperor had a chance to resist.
Moreover, beside Yang Xiaotian, Godslayer King and Meng Bingxue hadn’t even lifted a finger yet!
Godslayer King and Meng Bingxue remained calm, seemingly accustomed to the scene before them!
Previously, saying how Meng Bingxue reminded him of a friend, Son of Hantian Palace, Qiu Dong, now trembled uncontrollably, his legs shaking so much that he found, once they started shaking, they wouldn’t stop.
And they shook more violently.
Yang Xiaotian threw Prince Liang Jian aside, surveying the various powerful beings in the Hall, his gaze lingering on Liang Jian and Lin Kang, who nearly suffocated.
Then, Yang Xiaotian turned his gaze toward Shen Yunhou and the numerous experts of the Dragon Nation, then said coldly, "In ancient times, the ancestor of Star Dragon Sect established the Dragon Nation."
"He was the lord of the Dragon Nation!"
"From today onward, the Star Dragon Sect will retake control of the Dragon Nation!"
"From now on, the Star Dragon Sect is the lord of the Dragon Nation!"
"Does anyone have an objection?"
Yang Xiaotian’s chilly voice echoed through the Grand Hall.
Does anyone have an objection?
A great shock ran through everyone in the Hall.
The ancient times were too far off, and only now did many remember that the Dragon Nation was founded by the ancestor of Star Dragon Sect.
"Are we entering the Dragon Nation Imperial Palace?" the people watched Yang Xiaotian.
Yet, this all happened too suddenly, and everyone found it hard to accept.
After all, they had come in the morning to celebrate the birthday of Dragon Nation Emperor Liang Jiang, who could have thought that before the celebration could even begin, the Dragon Nation would be changing its emperor?
"Since there are no objections, then kneel," Yang Xiaotian’s cold voice rang out.
Everyone looked at each other hesitantly.
At that moment, the previously unwell Divine Eagle Marquis suddenly knelt down, his spirits lifted, and with a robust voice, declared, "I, Chen Ming, am willing to submit and honor the Sect Master as the new Emperor!"
Shen Yunhou, Shen Fenghou, and other high-ranking experts of Dragon Nation were startled.
"We are willing to submit," stammered Shen Fenghou, who was thrown into the Grand Hall first.
Gradually, more and more people in the Grand Hall knelt down.
Eventually, all the Sect Masters and Family Heads of Dragon Nation also bowed down.
Only Son of Hantian Palace, Qiu Dong, Lin Kang, and a few disciples remained standing.
"I am a Core Disciple of Hantian Palace, and my master is the Ancestor of Hantian Palace. Even if you are the new Emperor of Dragon Nation, you would only kneel before my master!" Shi Liqing angrily glared at Yang Xiaotian, "You better release Elder Wu Miao and the others!"
Indeed, in the past, even the Emperor of Dragon Nation, Liang Jiang, would kneel and welcome the Ancestor of Hantian Palace.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Yang Xiaotian reached out with one hand, drew him close, and directly crushed him.
Yang Xiaotian’s gaze swept over Qiu Dong, Lin Kang, and the others, "Anyone else here whose master is the Ancestor of Hantian Palace?"
Is anyone else’s master the Ancestor of Hantian Palace?
In the crowd, indeed, another disciple of Hantian Palace had the Ancestor as his master, but at that moment, he was terrified to death, hardly daring to admit his master was the Ancestor of Hantian Palace.
Eventually, Qiu Dong, Lin Kang, and the others all knelt down.
"You will regret this!" a kneeling Elder of Hantian Palace roared furiously, "Our Palace Master will come to Dragon Nation personally and crush all disciples of the Star Dragon Sect!"
The Palace Master of Hantian Palace, being the strongest in Hantian Palace, was also a Divine Ancestor.
Above the Divine Emperor, there are Divine Monarchs and Divine Emperors; above the Divine Emperor is the Divine Ancestor.
The strength of a Divine Ancestor is far beyond that of a Divine Emperor.
Upon hearing this, the Red-Haired Old Demon directly drew him out of the ground and, with a grasp through the void, the Elder of Hantian Palace exploded into a mist of blood.
The Red-Haired Old Demon inhaled deeply; the essence blood within the blood mist surged into his body. After a frenzied absorption, the eyes of the Red-Haired Old Demon, filled with bloodthirsty redness, looked at Wu Miao and the others: "Your Palace Master of Hantian Palace is a Divine Ancestor, right? Don’t wait for your Palace Master to come to Dragon Nation. I will go to your Hantian Palace shortly and crush your Palace Master!"
"And then absorb his essence blood to cultivate my Blood Prison Divine Skill!"
Originally still harboring a sliver of hope, Wu Miao and the others gasped in shock and the whole hall stared horrified at the Red-Haired Old Demon.
Although they had repeatedly overestimated the strength of the Red-Haired Old Demon at Yang Xiaotian’s side, they realized they had still underestimated his power.
The Palace Master of Hantian Palace was a Dual Layer Divine Ancestor, yet from the Red-Haired Old Demon’s tone, it appeared he could still easily crush him! Without any effort!
The Sect Masters and family heads of Dragon Nation who had just knelt were pressing their bodies to the ground.
As if afraid that the aura of the Red-Haired Old Demon would shake their bowed backs.
"We are willing to submit!" After a moment of changing expressions, Wu Miao and the remaining Elders of Hantian Palace also prostrated themselves, devoid of any hope or rebellious spirit.
At that moment, Wu Miao and some others realized that Yang Xiaotian’s ambitions were probably not limited to just being an Emperor of Dragon Nation.
In the ancient times, the Ancestor of the Star Dragon Sect, Ao Xu, established the Dragon Nation, stunned the Chaos Domain, and all major empires of the Heavenly Master Continent submitted to him. Ao Xu could be said to be the ruler of the Heavenly Master Continent.
But after Ao Xu, the Heavenly Master Continent saw no new ruler.
Wu Miao and others looked complexly at Yang Xiaotian, who stood firmly in the hall—was he the new ruler of the Heavenly Master Continent?
Next, the Red-Haired Old Demon brought back the Dragon Nation Emperor, Liang Jiang, and the Ancestor of Dragon Nation to the hall, who had previously been flung away.
Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Liang Jiang and the Ancestor of Dragon Nation also knelt down and submitted to Yang Xiaotian.
Yang Xiaotian took out an Elixir, and had the Red-Haired Old Demon distribute one to everyone in the hall.
"You can rest assured, as long as you harbor no thoughts of rebellion, the poison in the Elixir will not activate," Yang Xiaotian said.
As his Alchemy Level improved, his Control Elixirs had been continuously improved, no longer requiring a regular antidote.
Everyone in the hall swallowed the Elixirs, fully severing any thoughts of rebellion.
Now in the hall were gathered all the major families and Sect Masters of Dragon Nation, and it could be said that Yang Xiaotian now basically controlled the Dragon Nation.
Yang Xiaotian said to the Ancestor of Liang Family, "Ancestor Ao Xu once arranged a Myriad Dragons Sword Array in the Imperial Palace during the ancient era. Lead me there." Next, it was time to refine and assimilate the Sword Domain and that Myriad Dragons Formation Spirit.
"Yes!" Hearing this, the Ancestor of Liang Family dared not refuse, disregarding his severe injuries, hurriedly leading Yang Xiaotian deeper into the Imperial Palace.
Before leaving, Yang Xiaotian told Dragon Nation Emperor Liang Jiang and the others to continue with their duties.
Watching Yang Xiaotian and Meng Bingxue, the Red-Haired Old Demon, and a few others leave, everyone in the great hall collapsed on the ground.
