Twelve years of vicissitudes and changes!
Today's Lingwu Continent is no longer the continent it was back then.
The three coastal battlefields on the mainland, namely the East China Sea, the North Sea, and the West China Sea, have already been completely occupied.
Infinite sea water surges onto the continent, turning the land into a vast ocean.
Now the entire Lingwu Continent, except for the Tianyuan Dynasty and the Qianlan Empire in the south.
Most of the land in the other three directions has been swallowed up, leaving only islands dotted in the vast sea.
Even the Beiyuan Forest between the Tianyuan Dynasty and the Qianlan Empire has been filled by the endless sea, separating the two.
If you look at it on the world map, the huge Tianyuan Dynasty seems to be a continent of its own.
The divided Qianlan Empire was like a giant island hanging offshore.
The turmoil of the mainland and the struggle for hegemony between empires have long been a thing of the past.
Today, the Qianlan Empire has to deal with waves of sea monsters attacking from all sides of the sea every day. Its territory is increasingly being eroded, and even survival has become a problem.
At this time, the capital of Qianlan Kingdom was Qiancheng.
In the main hall of the palace, Emperor Wu sat on the throne.
Under the jade steps, Zhang Dingnan, Hu Yanzhan, Cang Ling, Duguhong, Zhu Yuanchen and other five Hongwu, who were powerful in the Divine Void Realm, gathered in the main hall.
Although there are only six of them in the hall, they represent the pinnacle of the Qianlan Empire's combat power.
Today's Qianlan Empire, in addition to Emperor Wu, has three more peak powerhouses.
Zhang Dingnan, Hu Yanzhan, and Cang Ling have all reached the peak of Hongwu.
Duguhong and Zhu Yuanchen entered the Hongwu, late stage of Shenxu realm.
Four peak powerhouses, plus two Hongwu, are powerful in the late stages of the Divine Void Realm. Their power is quite astonishing.
However, at this time, the atmosphere in the hall was solemn and low.
"Are they here?" Emperor Wu said slowly.
Before anyone could answer, three figures appeared out of thin air outside the hall.
The first person was wearing a long green robe, fair skin, and an ordinary appearance. He was about in his early thirties, but his temperament was free and easy.
Moreover, the aura fluctuations emitted by his body inadvertently are not inferior to those of Emperor Wu. Zhang Dingnan and others are also peak powerhouses.
Behind him, there are two old men in gray clothes, one male and one female, with silver beards and hair, and tall, childlike faces.
The two of them followed the young man and walked into the hall calmly, but they brought a silent and majestic pressure to the six people in the hall.
The air was silent, only the gentle footsteps of the three people echoed in the hall.
The three of them walked to the center of the hall. The man in green, who was leading the group, shook his long-sleeved robe and raised his hands.
"Your Majesty, Situ Lingkong, pays homage to His Majesty!"
The person who came was actually the former Prime Minister, Situ Lingkong.
At this moment, although he was saluting Emperor Wu, he had an air of aloofness and calm as the abyss.
But he seemed to stand taller than Emperor Wu on the throne!
Seeing Situ Lingkong, Emperor Wu narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "Master Xiangguo, please excuse me. Should I call you Situ Lingkong or Young Master Ling Wuxie now?"
Hearing this, Situ Lingkong smiled lightly.
"Your Majesty, the Ling clan of the eight ancient clans no longer exists, and you do not need to address me as Young Master. At this moment, I am still the Prime Minister of the Qianlan Empire."
"Xiangguo?" Emperor Wu looked playful.
"Now that the borders of our Qianlan Empire have all fallen into the hands of Lord Xiangguo, Lord Xiangguo, what else do you want now?"
Situ Lingkong sighed, "Your Majesty, I can't blame you for this. Now the world is in chaos, the Siren Clan and the Netherworld Clan are causing trouble for the common people.
Three of the big and powerful countries have been destroyed, and the other small and medium-sized countries have been wiped out.
Back then, my Ling clan was one of the eight ancient clans and held a high position of authority.
But in order to avoid the disaster of the Netherworld Clan, he had to hide his name and escape into the Qianlan Empire. Originally, he wanted to recuperate and just protect himself.
But in these troubled times, I
They also have to control more power. After all, the Qianlan Empire alone cannot control the current situation.
Only I, the Ling clan, can take control of the situation and preserve the last chance of survival of the Qianlan Empire. "
Hearing this, Emperor Wu's eyes showed a joking look.
"Do you believe what Mr. Xiangguo said? When the Ling clan faced the threat from the Netherworld clan, they chose to run away to avoid disaster and pretended to be exterminated.
Nowadays, there are threats from not only the Nether Clan, but also the Siren Clan. Do you really want to protect this land for the sake of the people of the Qianlan Empire? "
Seeing Situ Lingkong's slightly changed expression, Emperor Wu's eyes gradually darkened.
"Do you really think that I don't know that your Ling family just wants to control the Qianlan Empire and use this country as your bargaining chip?
In this way, you can choose to fall to the Siren Clan, or even the Netherworld Clan, or return to the Tianyuan Dynasty so that your Ling family can once again escape intact. "
Hearing this, Situ Lingkong's expression finally stiffened.
He sneered and said, "Your Majesty, you can't speak so harshly.
Our Ling clan has a cooperative relationship with the Qianlan Empire. When the Qianlan Empire rose, we secretly helped a lot.
Now that the Qianlan Empire cannot protect itself, and I, the Ling clan, have given you shelter, the Qianlan Empire will of course have to pay a corresponding price. "
Emperor Wu's eyes became completely cold and stern, and he said in a cold voice: "Ling Wuxie, please tell me your purpose of coming. I don't want to waste time with you anymore."
Situ Lingkong's expression also became solemn.
"Your Majesty, it is more convenient for our Ling clan to protect the Qianlan Empire.
Please, Your Majesty, please give up the dragon chair under you. "
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Zhang Dingnan, Hu Yanzhan, Cang Ling, Duguhong and Zhu Yuanchen in the palace changed drastically at the same time.
Emperor Wu also had a cold look in his eyes.
"You want to usurp the throne!"
Situ Lingkong smiled disdainfully, "Haha... I originally looked down upon the throne of the Qianlan Empire, but now, who puts us in the same boat.
As the saying goes, a snake cannot move without a head. The empire now needs my Ling clan, and you are not worthy of commanding us. Why not cooperate with us and abdicate obediently?
Keeping in mind the friendship between monarchs, ministers, and colleagues in the past, as long as you serve our Ling clan loyally from now on, I, my young master, will treat you all right here. "
"Ling Wuxie, you are looking for death!"
In the main hall, looking at Ling Wuxie speaking arrogantly, Zhang Dingnan and Hu Yanzhan took action at the same time.
Zhang Dingnan waved the thunder sword in his hand, and the purple sky thunder exploded.
The golden war spear in Hu Yanzhan's hand brought up a void storm, and the two of them headed towards Situ Lingkong, attacking from a flank.
Facing the terrifying blows from the two peak experts, Situ Lingkong's expression changed slightly and he took a step back. ap.
One of the two figures beside him, the white-haired old man, waved his sleeves.
A majestic energy shook everything, directly crushing and shattering the power of lightning and void.
The aftermath of the terrifying power swept across, sending Zhang Dingnan and Hu Yanzhan backwards rapidly.
"Half-saint strong man!"
The expressions of the two people changed suddenly, but at the next moment, they took action again without hesitation.
Not only them, Cang Ling, Hu Yanzhan and Zhu Yuanchen took action at the same time.
Now Situ Lingkong has forced the palace to usurp the throne, trying to completely control the Qianlan Empire.
Even if the opponent is a strong semi-saint, they can only fight to the death!
Everyone worked together, and the terrifying power poured out towards the old man crazily.
But the other party is a powerful semi-saint, and the power of the law has undergone a qualitative change, and he has understood the "mysterious" level.
In terms of realm, he is not at the same level as everyone else.
Facing the three peak powerhouses and the two Hongwu and late-stage Shenxu Realm powerhouses, they were still as stable as a mountain and easily dealt with them.
If it weren't for the super-grade divine weapon in Zhang Dingnan's hand and the innate power of the Zixiao Divine Thunder, he would have had a little trouble dealing with it, and the battle would have been over long ago.
And just in the big
In the hall, when everyone started fighting, Emperor Wu's eyes flashed, his dragon robe exploded, and a super-grade battle armor emerged.
He took one step forward and appeared directly in front of Situ Lingkong. He slashed down with the Qianlan Divine Sword in his hand, trying to capture the thief's head!
However, the divine sword fell on Situ Lingkong's head, just a few feet away.
He was gently held by an old wrinkled hand.
The old woman next to Situ Lingkong took action. The power of the law around this person had also touched the level of mysteries, and her strength was terrifying.
Holding the Qianlan Divine Sword in one hand, he swung it violently, and Emperor Wu's figure flew out irresistibly.
The old woman took one step forward and raised her palm to suppress her attack again. Emperor Wu could only attack with all his strength and struggled to hold on, but he was no match for her.
In the palace hall, a fierce battle began. The guards and soldiers in the palace could not get close at all.
Even Japanese-level experts would find it difficult to enter the main hall.
Seeing that the two old men easily suppressed the peak combat power of the Qianlan Empire, including Emperor Wu.
Situ Lingkong smiled disdainfully.
"A mere Qianlan Empire dares to compete with our Ling clan. It is overestimating its own capabilities."
As he spoke, he took a step forward, and the next moment, he appeared directly in front of the dragon chair that symbolized imperial power.
He reached out and stroked the dragon head armrest on the dragon chair.
Although he despised the imperial power of the Qianlan Empire, in his heart, he also longed for the supreme authority.
The corners of his mouth slowly curved.
"This young master of the Tianyuan Dynasty cannot be the emperor, but being the emperor of the Qianlan Empire is more than enough."
After saying that, he slowly turned around and scanned the unsuspicious battlefield in the hall.
Along the wide hall door, looking at the sky in the distance, he slowly sat down on the dragon chair behind him.
But before he even sat on the dragon chair, a big bloody hand suddenly appeared in the void beside him and slapped him hard.
Situ Lingkong's pupils shrank, and the peak strength of the Hongwu Realm exploded. The body was shrouded in mysterious light, and his arms were crossed to resist.
Unfortunately, under that big bloody hand, his body-protecting mysterious light was like paper.
A pair of strong arms were broken on the spot, and the whole person flew out like a cannonball.
"Bang...!"
Situ Lingkong was slapped away, and his body hit the wall on one side of the hall, creating a huge crater and causing the entire hall to shake violently.
Then an extremely arrogant voice sounded in the hall.
"A trash like you deserves to sit in this position?
From now on, I am your emperor! "
