Chapter 172: The Dragon Emperor Approaches
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
"No need for formalities," Long Po Tian said calmly.
"Solders, heed my command!" The Dragon Emperor put away the Dragon's Celestial Seal and spoke.
"I am here."
"Today, in the Eastern Four Continents, my Dragon Sky Immortal Kingdom has taken the lands of Xuan, Huang, and the Three Continents. Now, we only lack the Central Continent. All troops, prepare yourselves. At seven o'clock tonight, we will march on Lingxiao City!" the Dragon Emperor commanded.
"Yes, Celestial Emperor!"
"The Ancient Monster from a Thousand Years Ago is still alive and has established the Celestial Kingdom. It seems this world is truly on the brink of chaos."
"Chaos? Ha! We may be facing great disaster! Do you remember the strictest rule of the Upper Realm?"
"You mean... that no force is allowed to establish a kingdom?!"
"That's right. This is the rule. Now there are already two kingdoms in this world. If those above find out, we will be in serious trouble!"
"Initially, the Shadow Kill Empire seemed to have been permitted by an Upper Realm Being, and judging by its power, it is likely one of the strongest hidden forces. However, this Dragon Sky Immortal Kingdom was established so suddenly that we didn't have time to stop it!"
"Block? Who do you think you are now? The Dragon Emperor is a Demigod Expert, an invincible existence in this world!"
"Sigh, I hope Yang Chen can stand up to the Dragon Emperor, otherwise, not to mention the Upper Realm, even life in the lower realm won't be easy."
Lingxiao City,
"Your Majesty, Long Po Tian has already returned the Dragon Sky Immortal Kingdom to the Dragon Emperor," said Yi Tianzheng.
"How many Soldiers do we still have in the Shadow Kill Empire?" Yang Chen asked.
"One hundred billion and two million."
"Hopefully, there won't be any problems." Yang Chen glanced at the Celestial Ranking with concern.
"A few days ago, the Yongbing Guild and the Heavenly Maiden Sanctuary chose to ally with my Empire. It can be said that, at this moment, my Shadow Kill Empire is at its strongest," said Yi Tianzheng.
"That's why I am troubled; where exactly is this A Ray of Hope, or on whom does it rest? National Master, you calculated for me three years ago that I would obtain the Heavenly Mechanism Inkstone in two years. Now, how am I supposed to get through this calamity?" Yang Chen said with distress. Now, with only one hundred billion Soldiers, how can he compete against the three to four hundred billion Soldiers of the Dragon Xia Empire? And there is also a Demigod Realm Dragon Emperor!
Yang Chen took a deep breath and slowly said, "When soldiers come, we will block them; when water comes, we will cover it with earth. Let's talk about it later. National Master, how are the arrangements going?"
"They have been properly arranged."
"What about the layout of the Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Formation?"
"As per your Majesty's instructions, nine Nine Palaces will form a large Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Formation. At the same time, each Nine Palace Formation will have nine Fighting Saints and eight Demon Lords presiding over it."
"Well, this way, at least we can trap the Dragon Emperor for a while. What about the surroundings of Lingxiao City?"
"Surrounding Lingxiao City, according to your Majesty's orders, there are four peak Saints of Combat arranged in the positions of the Four Symbols, facing your Majesty."
"The Five Elements Four Symbols Formation is best executed by the four War Gods, but unfortunately, they have not yet obtained the corresponding inheritance," Yang Chen said, shaking his head. "Everything is arranged, so let's wait for the Dragon Emperor's arrival."
"Your Majesty, should we mobilize the Elder Council?" Yi Tianzheng inquired. The Elder Council was established by Yi Tianzheng when Yang Chen was absent. Any Fighting Saint Expert could enter the Elder Council and hold a First-Class Official Position, being accountable only to Yang Chen. However, once in the Elder Council, no one could interfere with state affairs.
"Let the people of the Elder Council keep an eye on the surroundings. Once the Dragon Sky Immortal Kingdom mobilizes and four hundred billion Soldiers attack my Shadow Kill Empire, our defense line won't hold," Yang Chen said bitterly. "National Master, please go down and calm the Soldiers; right now, Li Qi and the captains of various teams are not here, so I must trouble you."
"It is my duty. I take my leave," Yi Tianzheng said respectfully before withdrawing. Time passed slowly, and soon it was six thirty in the afternoon. Early on, all forces of the Shadow Kill Empire had gathered together to prevent an attack from the Dragon Xia Empire. Until now, everything around Lingxiao Empire was calm.
As it approached seven o'clock, "Report! A large number of soldiers from the Dragon Sky Immortal Kingdom have appeared on our Empire's western border, estimated to be around two billion."
"The west? The Dragon Emperor actually took such a long detour to try to surround my Shadow Kill Empire?" Yang Chen said.
"Report! A large number of soldiers from the Dragon Sky Immortal Kingdom have appeared on our Empire's eastern border, estimated to be twenty billion!"
"Report! Our Empire's northern border..."
"Report! Our Empire's southern border..."
"Report! Our Empire's northeastern border..."
"Report! Our Empire's southeastern border..."
"Report! I am from the Empire, Southwest..."
"Report! I am from the Empire, Northwest..."
"Eight Directions, one hundred sixty billion?" Yang Chen thought for a moment and then said, "All soldiers, retreat to the surroundings of Lingxiao City and the Western Frontier!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Western Frontier is the base of the Yongbing Guild and Heavenly Maiden Sanctuary. Yang Chen dispatched troops to assist them, which also served as a retreat for himself; otherwise, spreading his forces too thin would be like a pile of loose sand. Subsequently, he left ten billion soldiers at Lingxiao City and sent three billion to the Western Frontier to help Yongbing Guild and Heavenly Maiden Sanctuary.
At seven in the evening, the sky had completely darkened, shrouded in gray. Yang Chen leaped out, wearing the Black Dragon Robe, adorned with the Black Jade Crown of Heaven, equipped with Black Dragon Sky-Treading Boots, and secured by the Black Scale Celestial Belt. He flew to the golden Sky-Sealing Platform and took out the Celestial Ranking, overlooking the tens of billions below.
"Your Majesty! Long live the boss! Long live the boss! Long live the boss!"
"Everyone, stand at ease!" Yang Chen said calmly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Until today, the Empire can no longer accommodate our strength. Therefore, I beseech heaven for the Shadow Kill Empire to be promoted to Celestial Kingdom!" Holding the Celestial Ranking, Yang Chen bowed slightly to the void.
"Boom!" A muffled thunder echoed in the sky. Then, the Celestial Ranking in Yang Chen's hand inexplicably floated up, with white Power of Faith and purple Purple Emperor Qi swirling within it. The four characters 'Shadow Kill Empire' at the top became blurred and distorted.
"Boom!" Another muffled thunder sounded from the sky. The Celestial Ranking fell weakly back down, and Yang Chen hurriedly caught it, only to find that the four characters 'Shadow Kill Empire' had not changed at all. At that moment,
"What a lively scene! The Empire is advancing to Celestial Kingdom; what’s wrong? Did it fail?" A figure in a nine-dragon robe appeared in mid-air, floating several dozen meters away from Yang Chen.
"Who goes there?"
"Dare to trespass into my Lingxiao City? Are you seeking death?"
"Step back!" Yang Chen shouted.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Dragon Emperor?" Yang Chen inquired.
"Indeed, it is I," the Dragon Emperor nodded.
"Just one person dares to intrude into my Lingxiao City?"
"What is there to fear? I dare say, in this vast world, there is no place I cannot go," the Dragon Emperor said arrogantly.
"I believe that," Yang Chen nodded.
"In that case, hand over the sealing strategy, and make the Shadow Kill Empire a subordinate Empire under my command, and I will spare your life!" the Dragon Emperor said, looking at the Celestial Ranking in Yang Chen's hand.
"Without gathering enough Power of Faith, how can you advance to the Celestial Kingdom?" the Dragon Emperor mocked.
