Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 427 Xu Tianxi: A Cunning Plan, A Scheme to Conquer the Abyss

"The premise is that one's strength must reach the pinnacle of this world, at least returning to the Limit Douluo level," the Snow Empress solemnly stated.

Xu Tianxi nodded, then pointed to himself and said, "Although I am not a Limit Douluo, killing a Limit Douluo is as easy as killing a chicken or a sheep. I should be able to ignore this request, right?"

"Of course, I see that you already possess some power of faith." The Snow Emperor's words were full of meaning.

Xu Tianxi didn't delve into that, and nodded, saying, "That's good. I have many ideas about the power of faith. If used well, it should bring endless benefits..."

Electrolux had been exposed to the power of faith and taught Xu Tianxi some things, but he was unsure whether the power of faith would be used differently in another world, so Xu Tianxi sought out Xue Di for advice.

Currently, their stance is united: to become a god, they must eliminate the biggest obstacle in the divine realm—the Tang God-King, who, having already become a god, will not allow those who become gods later to do so.

The two discussed for a day and a night, from the changes in the power of faith to its application, to the changes in divine power and the transformation of the soul bone armor into divine armor. Both felt they benefited greatly from the discussion.

"Ten thousand years ago, the six soul bones of the Angelic Armor were all produced from the same kind of soul beast, which could form the Angelic Armor. The initial soul bones of the Sea God Armor and the Rakshasa Armor were very complex, and theoretically they could not be formed, but they all had external soul bones to harmonize the overall situation."

"Although I also have external soul bones, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Tail is probably not old enough. Among my soul bones, there are three that are over a million years old, which are themselves god-level existences..."

As night fell, Xu Tianxi sat quietly in the void, setting up a soul power barrier to protect everyone while pondering his future path.

"Furthermore, there are still six energy seals within the Mountain Dragon King's soul bone that haven't been broken. I'm afraid that only after all these seals are broken can the Mountain Dragon King's soul bone be transformed into part of the divine equipment; otherwise, it won't be able to be transformed. I have to hurry..."

Thinking of this, Xu Tianxi activated his sternum, and six halos appeared on the great dragon of his spine. Xu Tianxi broke through two of the halos, and a rich, boundless aura surged and erupted, spreading from his spine to every part of his bones.

Instantly, the dragon's blood boiled, and Xu Tianxi quickly transformed into a dragon-man, complete with dragon horns and claws, but lacking dragon wings, because the Mountain Dragon King clan did not have dragon wings.

"Dragon Wings... It seems like this is the only part of my body I can still absorb soul bones. I'll have to go back and try to get some more from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. If all else fails, I'll just have to go back to Dragon Valley..."

It seems that all three sets of divine armor from ten thousand years ago had wings. Not wanting to fall behind, Xu Tianxi quickly locked onto his target, setting the tone for the future.

……

A month later, everyone gradually awoke from the deep meditation brought about by the energy tide.

Xu Tianxi, Xu Xiaoyun, Kong Deming, Xue Di and other powerful figures took action one after another, leading the still-unawakened Soul Masters and Soul Instructors back to the Sun Moon Empire.

I've been away from home for too long, I can't not go back to check on things. If someone breaks into my house, I'll be in big trouble.

Fortunately, the Sun Moon Empire did not show any signs of instability even without its top-tier combat power. The neighboring Heavenly Soul Empire and Star Luo Empire did not make any moves, and the border remained peaceful. Mingdu, without its emperor, also remained peaceful.

"So, to this day, our country is still without an emperor?"

Upon hearing that no new emperor had ascended the throne after the old emperor's death, Xu Tianxi marveled at the Sun Moon Empire's ability to stay ahead of its time.

"Yes, last time those guys from the Sea God Alliance blew up the palace, the old emperor was so frightened that he died, or maybe he was blown up; those princes who aspired to be emperor were also buried forever."

Xiao Hongchen stood on a watchtower in the Heavenly Court, gazing at the distant imperial palace, and sighed:
"What's even more infuriating is that it seems someone is specifically targeting these heirs. That night, some princes who had good cultivation talent but did not participate in the struggle for the throne were also assassinated."

"As things stand now, there isn't a single person capable of taking the throne. Of all the old emperor's descendants, or rather, the entire Sun and Moon royal family, besides you, there is only one person with decent talent still alive."

"Who?" Xu Tianxi asked.

"Xu Tianzhen, who was locked up by you and used as a power bank for your sister, was locked in the basement of the Heavenly Court on the day of the incident, which is how she escaped disaster."

Xiao Hongchen shook his head and chuckled, "Don't you think this is what they call turning misfortune into blessing? If she hadn't been completely under your control, even if she were a woman, she might have been assassinated."

"Perhaps." A strange look flashed across Xu Tianxi's eyes as he secretly marveled at Xu Jiawei's high efficiency.

The Sea God Alliance originally planned to eliminate the old emperor and several princes with ambitions to seize the throne, but Xu Jiawei went a step further and eliminated all the old emperor's princes with cultivation talents.

That night's killings were so brutal that even some members of the royal family who had escaped Xu Tianxi's slaughter and were closely related to the old emperor by blood were secretly instigated by Xu Jiawei to be killed by members of the Sea God Alliance, which has led to the current Sun Moon Royal Family being plunged into extreme polarization.

Those with great talent are far ahead of the competition, like Xu Tianxi. Those with weak talent are just good-for-nothings who do nothing but eat and wait to die. It's hard to even find someone with average talent.

That year, some civil officials even proposed to set a historical precedent by making Xu Tianzhen an empress, claiming she was the legitimate descendant of the former emperor. However, these civil officials passed away a few days later...

Subsequent investigations revealed that these civil officials were guilty of treason and had committed suicide out of fear of punishment. Furthermore, officials from the Ministry of Justice found items and letters from the former royal families of the Three Kingdoms period in their homes.

From then on, the civil officials fell silent. They tacitly acknowledged that these things were done by the faction in power, led by Kong Deming, with the goal of pushing a prince who came from the royal family but whose position had long been deeply integrated into the Soul Master faction to the throne.

Those barbarians are too ruthless; anyone who touches them dies. Let's not concern ourselves with such things anymore. It doesn't matter who we acknowledge as our leader anyway.

Jing Hongchen and others believed that this was being orchestrated secretly by the military, or even by certain ambitious individuals in the Heavenly Court, and suggested that they should have given each other prior notice and not be in such a hurry.

The military and the Heavenly Court, however, believed this was a power struggle between civil officials and academics. They were completely bewildered by Jing Hongchen and the others' words, repeatedly saying they didn't understand what they were saying. Jing Hongchen and the others, on the other hand, laughed and said, "We understand, we understand, everyone wants to improve..."

Xiong Jun's eyes widened. He went back and pondered for seven days and seven nights, but he still couldn't figure out what Jing Hongchen and the others had understood. In order to maintain the image of an unfathomable master, he always smiled.

Amidst all these strange misunderstandings, almost no one suspected that the person who did this was not from the Sun Moon Empire, but rather a Star Shattering Douluo sent by His Majesty the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire, and that the stolen goods were genuine royal items...

The stolen goods were scraps taken from the royal warehouse, making them difficult to fake. The letters were even easier to forge, since the people involved were all dead and no one was around to bother with them.

"Well, in short, the situation is very clear now. If, and I mean if, the Sun Moon Royal Family has to put someone else on the throne, it can only be you."

Xiao Hongchen winked at Xu Tianxi and chuckled, "Given our relationship, if you become the emperor, it shouldn't be difficult for you to give me some good stuff, right?"

Xu Tianxi said quietly, "Then why don't you become the Ninth Prince?"

"Nine thousand years old? What does that mean?" Laughing at the confusion of the world, Wei Zhongxian doesn't exist in this world.

"The Grand Eunuch of the Directorate of Ceremonial."

"No, that kind of thing is too terrible! The future of the Hongchen family still needs my efforts to carry on its legacy."

Xiao Hongchen shuddered, no longer daring to joke, and then said seriously:
"So you're really not interested in the throne? Over the past year, preparations have been almost complete. I heard from my grandfather and the others that after Yan Shaozhe and Song Yunzhi are executed in the autumn, they will prepare to send troops to attack the former Three Kingdoms and avenge our previous defeats."

"Do I look like I have nothing better to do? This is the perfect time to break through to the Limit Douluo level, why would I go to the palace if I have nothing better to do?"

Xu Tianxi shook his head, his gaze becoming deep and thoughtful. He said, "The Haotian Sect lost a god in the battle. Although she wasn't very strong, I still have many doubts. I'm afraid there will be an even more important war soon. Time is of the essence..."

"Understood. He's going into seclusion again. Don't worry, we'll handle the miscellaneous affairs of Heaven." Xiao Hongchen patted his chest to assure everyone that they were there for him.

"Well, I'm relieved that everything is alright in Mingdu. I'll leave the rest to you."

Xu Tianxi patted Xiao Hongchen on the shoulder, then vanished from the spot.

In the underground quiet room, Xu Tianxi took out the shimmering Water God Pearl and used his divine sense to connect with the divine realm.

The water god's image quickly appeared, and he said rather solemnly:
"Xiao Tianxi, the Seven Deadly Sins Gods under the God of Destruction just discovered that two officials from the Asura God's court have descended to the mortal realm. The God of Destruction sent his men to question them. The Asura God is heartbroken and says that his father and two divine beast subordinates died in the mortal realm. Did you do it?"

"Yes, I killed him. The Asura God's father wanted me to kneel down and be a dog, but my knees were too strong to kneel. I wanted to become a god standing tall and upright, so I had no choice but to kill him."

Xu Tianxi nodded and played the video that Xiao Hongchen had recorded.

A moment later, the water god frowned, his eyes filled with rage, and he gritted his teeth, saying:

"The scene described by the Asura God is completely different from this; in fact, it's the complete opposite. I never imagined he could be so shameless!"

What kind of Asura God is the strongest and should possess everything? Even if his descendants have the potential to become gods, they can only kneel down and be dogs to the Tang family. Does a mere priest even respect her, a first-level god?!

You think you can make my heir serve as your dog?!

“That’s normal. He’s a monster in human form.” Xu Tianxi had anticipated this and seized the opportunity to suggest:

"Senior, I have an idea. Wasn't the Sea God's position shattered? Could you give me those fragments of the position?"

"What do you want to do?" the water god asked.

"Didn't the God of Destruction say that my little angel disciple could first seek out the fragments of the angelic godhood before inheriting the godhood of the fire god, in order to fuse them into a more powerful god? The godhoods of the water god and the sea god are of the same origin, so they should be able to do the same."

"Moreover, the Sea God's legacy has also fallen into my hands." Xu Tianxi took out the Vast Ocean Universe Cover and demonstrated it to the Water God.

"Good! This is excellent! I'll go ask the God of Destruction for the fragment of the Sea God's throne and let you try it out!"

The Water God readily agreed, his eyes filled with both anticipation and satisfaction, clearly indicating that he had reached his limit of tolerance for Tang San.

"Furthermore, senior, I recently found a fragment of the Rakshasa God's artifact. Several years ago, the Asura God ordered the evil soul masters of the Douluo plane to open a mysterious passage, slaughtering millions to form a blood array. I think he may have the idea of ​​luring external enemies into the Douluo plane..."

Taking out the fragment of the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, Xu Tianxi recounted all his guesses.

"Aaaaah, you bastard, you bastard, you big bastard! This guy is the worst of the worst..." The Water God was so angry that he almost couldn't help but storm the Asura Temple.

"Senior, please calm down. I have an idea. Since he dares to invite external enemies, we might as well turn the tables and swallow this benefit. That way, it will be of great benefit to my Douluo plane, and even to the current God Realm..."

Having achieved his goal, Xu Tianxi immediately moved on to the next step and began to explain his plan.
