Chapter 893 - 891: Part of the Plan
The Diamond Elf King’s overall Cultivation base was ranked quite low among the various Spirit Monster Emperors, and comparatively, his Cultivation base was also a bit lower. Moreover, his fundamental attribute was the earth element, which is the most temperate among all attributes. If it had been the fire attribute, Tang San’s current Cultivation base would not have been able to bear such a Bloodline Brand.
Furthermore, the immense life force brought by the Tree Ancestor Brand to nourish his body’s origin had made this one month of Cultivation in Jianmu City incredibly crucial for Tang San. It compensated for the previous deficiencies in his body, repaired the injuries sustained during his Tribulation, thereby accumulating an enormous amount of Life Force, and expanded his bodily capacity manyfold.
Even so, bearing the Bloodline Brand of an Emperor was extremely strenuous for him at this moment. He needed to rely on the Golden Slaughter Power he obtained during Pretty Girl’s Tribulation, and the Power of Annihilation from his own Tribulation within the Destruction and Oblivion Heavenly Lightning of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, to barely seal this potent bloodline power.
His pale complexion was real, but it wasn’t due to overexertion; it was because sealing and bearing this Royal Bloodline Brand was really strenuous!
Emperors belong to a different level after all, and Tang San could certainly forgo part of the Bloodline Brand, which would make bearing it much easier. However, he took such a great risk precisely to obtain the complete Bloodline Brand, because with this complete existence, when he breaks through to the Emperor Level in the future, he could at least ensure the ascension of a Super Bloodline to rank 12, thereby ranking among the top Emperors. Therefore, no matter how strenuous, as long as his body wouldn’t collapse, he would definitely persist, sealing this hard-earned enormous power within himself and absorbing it gradually over time.
With his powerful divine consciousness, godhood, the myriad bloodline powers within him, the source protection of chaos aura, and the Luck’s blessing from the Field of Fortune and Misfortune, it took him an entire day to gradually suppress the aura of the Diamond Elf King Bloodline Brand within his body. It was truly fraught with danger.
However, during this time, Tang San also unearthed further abilities from the Field of Fortune and Misfortune than before.
As an Emperor, the death of the Diamond Elf King undoubtedly carried a huge misfortune. And as death truly befell, while the misfortune erupted, it naturally also provided a reverse change in Luck to the entire plane. With so much misfortune, naturally, there would be as much Luck.
The reduction of one Emperor in the heavens and earth has a significant impact on the plane, and the Power of Luck returned is immensely substantial.
If the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox were here, Tang San would certainly never have a chance; the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox would undoubtedly apply this Luck to herself and the entire Heavenly Fox Clan without hesitation.
But now that the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox was far away in the Ancestral Court, she could of course still feel it, but before she sensed it, Tang San, being much closer, naturally took this Luck unceremoniously through the Field of Fortune and Misfortune to himself. After completing the suppression of the Diamond Elf bloodline, his Spirit Rhinoceros Eye finally advanced to the level of rank 11. This advancement also brought a comprehensive evolution to the Field of Fortune and Misfortune, and under the blessing of Luck, made the Diamond Elf Bloodline Brand sealed within him a bit more stable.
The bloody storm over Diamond City had quietly disappeared. After the bloody storm came clear skies. However, for the civilians of Diamond City, a heavy gloom enveloped their hearts.
The guardian deity of Diamond City, an Emperor of generation, had fallen like this. This was akin to cutting off the very roots of Diamond City! All Spirit Monsters within Diamond City with mineral attributes had become rootless drifters. No powerful Emperor would protect them anymore.
And the instigator of all this was one of the three ancestors, Tree Ancestor. This terrifying being even stripped the city of thirty percent of its life force and dispersed it into the heavens and earth.
Undoubtedly, the decline of Diamond City was irreversible. At least for a long time, before a new Emperor emerged, mineral-type Spirit Monsters would be suppressed, unable to lift their heads. This made it even harder for mineral-type Spirit Monsters, already at a disadvantage in the Rihchen Empire.
Despite being the instigators, the thirteen powerhouses from the Blue Gold Tree Clan still remained at the heart of Diamond City and had not left. No matter how much sorrow and anger filled the hearts of Diamond City’s powerhouses, represented by Jin Chengwu, they were helpless at this moment. With one-third of their life force stripped away, they dared not harbor any thought of resistance, especially since even the Diamond Elf King had fallen—who were they to dare to resist?
A faint smile appeared on his face. Tang San’s pale complexion had now started to return to normal, and the other Elders did not engage in meditation, instead staying by his side for fear that he would suffer the slightest harm.
Having witnessed with their own eyes Tang San’s slaying of the Diamond Elf King, in their hearts, Tang San was already an uncrowned emperor. They fully understood that the Blue Gold Tree clan was finally about to rise under the leadership of this new Patriarch, all enveloped in the brilliance of the Tree Ancestor.
From now on, the Blue Gold Tree Clan would stand up; no one would dare poach their clansmen anymore, otherwise, even Emperors wouldn’t be able to protect those scoundrels.
The death of an Emperor was undoubtedly the best way to establish authority. Without much thought, they could be sure that soon, all the dispersed clansmen of the Blue Gold Tree Clan would be brought back. Any main city that dared to continue harboring members of the Blue Gold Tree Clan must prepare for the Tree Ancestor’s revenge. With the Diamond Elf King dead, which Emperor could be sure they could contend against the Tree Ancestor? Who would dare say they won’t be descended upon by the will of the Tree Ancestor?
When Tang San decided to challenge the Diamond Elf King, they felt it was unbelievable, but after the challenge was successfully completed, the Elders of the Blue Gold Tree Clan realized that everything had changed dramatically; everything was different now. The radiance of the Blue Gold Tree Clan started from this moment.
Feeling Tang San opening his eyes, the twelve Blue Gold Tree Clan Elders instantly looked at him.
Jin Miaosen stepped forward and asked softly, “Brother, how are you doing?” At this moment, his heart was filled with pride; having such a brother filled him with immense excitement!
Tang San smiled and shook his head, saying, “I’m fine, I’ve stabilized now. Let’s head back to Jianmu City first.”
“Good, good,” Jin Miaosen immediately nodded repeatedly.
Tang San looked up at the sky, and through the Time-Space Tower, he roughly knew how long he had been meditating. Now, presumably, the entire upper echelon of the Rihchen Empire, even the Ancestral Court, had been thrown into chaos because of the death of the Diamond Elf King.
Within just one year, this was already the second Emperor to fall. Although the losses on the Rihchen Empire’s side couldn’t compare to the loss of the Crystal Great Demon Emperor by Tianyu Empire, the loss of an Emperor was also quite a blow to the ambitious Rihchen Empire. But what of it? He stood on the side of justice, and even in the eyes of the Soul-Stealing Spirit King, it was not he who had actually killed the Diamond Elf King, but the Tree Ancestor!
Let’s go back first, although the Bloodline Brand of the Diamond Elf King was temporarily sealed, it was still very unstable. He couldn’t even fight people now because if his own power was insufficient, the seal could easily be broken by the terrifying energy of the Bloodline Brand. He must meditate for a while, absorb some of the Diamond Elf King Bloodline Brand into his existing Bloodline Brand, thereby reducing the sealed quantity, making it much easier for him to handle.
Thirteen figures rose into the sky; without saying another word to the powerhouses of the Diamond Elf Clan, Tang San had already led the Elders of the Blue Gold Tree Clan away from Diamond City.
