All heavens, let's begin with the Divine Elephant's Prison-Suppressing Power!

Chapter 140 The loyal Great Jin Dynasty welcomed its own emperor!
Inside the palace, Yang An leisurely played with the Emperor's Sword and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, with the Emperor of Great Jin, the Prince of Qi, and the Zhao family patriarch leading the way.

"Your Majesty, please!" The Emperor of Great Jin was very sensible and lowered himself by one rank, only daring to address him as "your subject."

Since you have made up your mind to surrender, you can't hold anything back and you have to hand over everything.

The Emperor's Sword and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal are almost impossible to keep without the throne. Even if Yang An doesn't speak up, these divine weapons that control the power of humanity and the power of all living beings are still feared by the Emperor.

However, they underestimated Yang An's magnanimity.

He casually tossed the Emperor's Sword and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal back, and the King of Qi and the Zhao family patriarch hurriedly put them away.

Yang An remained calm. “Since you have led the Great Jin to submit to me, I will not make things difficult for you. Apart from the main materials for the divine weapon and many precious medicines, your divine weapon and heritage can be preserved.”

"Your subject is deeply grateful!" King Qi bowed his head.

Perhaps this is the reason why the Human Emperor Sword recognizes the Holy King.

He wavered and re-examined Yang An's actions, from purging the bandits and heretics of the Western Regions to killing the two evil magic bodies, Blood Sea Rakshasa and Gu God, in the Southern Wilderness, thus cleansing the Southern Wilderness and restoring order to the local customs.

Now, he is displaying the demeanor of a sage emperor, showing magnanimity and forgiving their offenses with a generous heart.

"Is he not a sage king?" King Qi exclaimed.

"Buzz buzz buzz!!" The Emperor's Sword and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal vibrated, revealing different opinions and showing great affinity towards Yang An.

A divine weapon chooses its master!

As divine weapons of humanity, bearing the power of all living beings, what could be more honorable than following a human emperor!

"This." The Emperor of Great Jin smiled bitterly. His family's two divine weapons had never treated him this way before.

"Stay in the Great Jin Dynasty, and protect the human race when it recovers." Yang An flicked away the two divine weapons with his fingers. With the Human Emperor Sword, he hardly needed them, not to mention the Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Divine Blade and the Haotian Mirror.

Both of these are Celestial-level divine weapons. The original Haotian Mirror was shattered, leaving only fragments. This essence contained almost all of its profound mysteries.

If he becomes powerful in the future, he can completely upgrade it back to the only legendary divine weapon in all realms.

The Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Divine Blade is a legendary weapon of the powerful Blood Demon. However, the opponent has not yet been revived, and has been completely subdued by Yang An's Divine Elephant True Qi, which suppresses hell and all demons. It dares not have the slightest thought of resistance.

"This is the treasure trove of my royal family."

The Emperor of Jin was overjoyed. Being able to preserve two of his family's divine weapons was already a great thing. As for the treasury, that was of no concern to him.

Seeing the seven items before him—some dark, some crimson, some azure—of gems and pearls, emerald branches, and half a human-immortal dragon's body, Yang An couldn't help but marvel at the wealth of the Great Jin imperial family.

"There are still some left. King Qi wanted to break through to the Dharma Body and set up the Array of All Beings, but they have already been consumed," the Emperor of Great Jin said in a low voice.

For the royal family, the main materials for seven divine weapons are not considered many.

The main material for divine weapons is hard to come by, but it has been accumulated over a long history. Which of the eight great families of the Great Jin Dynasty did not have stockpiles of it?

The Crying Old Man at the pinnacle of outdoor scenes all possesses a divine weapon as its main material. Although he obtained it through a fortuitous encounter, this also proves that it is not uncommon at this level.

Almost everyone possesses a half-step Dharma Body, and those from aristocratic families who have divine weapons all use ancestral divine weapons, making them extremely wealthy.

Of the fourteen powerful families in the land, the Great Jin Dynasty accounts for nine!

It was almost half as much again as the Northern Zhou Dynasty!
The Zhao family of Shendu alone possesses two divine weapons, the Emperor's Sword and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal; one can only imagine their formidable resources.

"Other powerful families would also be willing to lend His Majesty the Holy King a hand." Having suffered a great loss himself, the Emperor of Great Jin would be more than happy for the other powerful families to suffer the same fate.

"That's excellent." Yang An nodded in satisfaction.

It's already a miracle they weren't wiped out; they didn't even have to pay protection money. This one round of looting alone is enough for him to gather enough resources to attempt the Ninth Life-Taking Technique.

As for breaking through to the legendary level, Yang An also had a plan in mind.

Outside the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, in the secondary capital of the Cao family, lies the Immortal Lake!
There are the treasures left behind by Zhenwu, the Great Dao Tree that records "the Dao spreads throughout the world", and the remains of two Earth Immortals. Even though they have been dead for hundreds of thousands of years and most of their essence has disappeared, they are still not to be underestimated and are enough for him to break through to the Legendary level!
The battle in the imperial palace broke out quickly and ended even faster, causing a huge uproar in the capital and shaking the world!
With the royal family and many aristocratic families joining forces, even the grand formation, the Dharma body, and the divine weapons could not withstand the Holy King's attack. Furthermore, the Human Emperor Sword was born, and the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty announced to the world that he would lower himself by one rank and submit to the Holy King.

This is incredible!
It was almost like the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart.

"How could our mighty Jin Dynasty submit to a visitor from beyond the borders! This is a disgrace to the real world!"

A scion of a prominent family roared to the sky.

"If you dare say such things again, I'll kill you!" Upon returning to his clan, Cui Qinghe, exuding a majestic aura, was furious upon hearing these remarks. While the Holy King and the Human Emperor Sword Master were easy to talk to, he was not.

"Enforce the family rules! Arrest all those who have violated the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty and take them to the execution ground!" he ordered sternly.

They must not allow His Majesty the Holy King to show them the slightest impatience. Given his ruthless actions and bloodbath in the Southern Wilderness, even these aristocratic families will not escape. Right now, they can only beg for their lives.

The Wang family, the Ruan family, the Zheng family, the Tian family, and so on were all like this.

"Why don't we flee? Let the whole clan relocate to Northern Zhou." Some aristocratic families simply couldn't bear it any longer. "This tyrant! How could the Emperor's Sword possibly approve of him!"

They cursed loudly, saying there was just too much dirt on their tribe.

What public trial? Wouldn't that cost the lives of the entire clan?
call out!
At that moment, a golden light flashed across the sky, and the Human Emperor's Sword descended from the heavens, sweeping across the universe and wiping out the entire group of insects.

"This is His Majesty the Holy King giving us a chance, but unfortunately they are unwise, or rather, they have no other choice." Wang Siyuan coughed up blood continuously, a calm smile on his lips.

Only when they saw information related to Yang An could they not hide their excitement, as if they had finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel.

"Siyuan, what should our Wang family do in the future?" The Wang family patriarch asked the young man instead. A few days ago, Wang Siyuan revealed a corner of his secrets and had already gained the approval of the entire Wang family.

"Do nothing, just obey His Majesty the Holy King's orders."

Wang Siyuan said calmly, his eyes shining, "The parasites in the world will be wiped out, and those who plotted and schemed behind the scenes will be found one by one and killed!"

A divine being? A powerful being orchestrating this?

It's meaningless to the holy king before us!

"This is the chance to break free from the will of Heaven!" Wang Siyuan coughed up blood, his eyes shining with excitement. He did not calculate Yang An's arrival in the Great Jin Dynasty based on divine secrets, but rather based on some existing information to deduce how this Holy King would act.

After the Southern Wilderness, where should we go next?
It should be called the Great Jin Dynasty, which is closest to the Southern Wilderness, and it also involves many other things.

As expected, the Great Jin Dynasty completely submitted.

Countless scions of powerful families and local bullies were sent to the execution ground.

However, this is a good thing. Although there will be growing pains, it will cleanse the world. With the approval of the Emperor's Sword, the people will only live better and better under his rule. However, from now on, aristocratic families, powerful clans, and disciples of major martial arts sects must keep a low profile and not make any mistakes.

"However, Zhao Heng seems to still have a chance." Wang Siyuan deduced that the future emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty was definitely not going to become emperor now, but the unification of the human race would bring more benefits.

Following His Majesty the Holy King is the greatest benefit!

"How is it possible to hold a public trial for aristocratic families?!"

The next morning, countless citizens of the capital city arrived after being notified, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and shock. Many martial arts heroes and disciples from prestigious sects also came and exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the scene.

Someone saw someone they recognized being taken to the high platform. "How come the family members of this body, including many from the families of marquises, have also been arrested?" Meng Qi was also dumbfounded. He rushed to the Sword Washing Pavilion but didn't see anyone, and then he went to the Huanhua Sword Sect but couldn't find Senior Brother Qi either.

So he simply followed his master's instructions and came to the capital.

Now I have finally met Senior Yang An, but many of this body's family members have been arrested and are about to be publicly tried.

Should I stop them from pleading for leniency?

Meng Qi shook his head. Putting aside whether Yang An gave him face or not, to be honest, he had been dissatisfied with some people in the Su family during his stay, but he had limited power and had to endure it. Now it seemed that he didn't need to.

"As expected of a ruthless person from the Big Dipper, he's incredibly decisive and ruthless!"

The idea of ​​a public trial never even crossed Meng Qi's mind. He figured that if it were him, he would probably just execute some of the ringleaders and then leave.

The martial arts world has never been like this: raising things high and then letting them fall gently.

But this approach doesn't work with Yang An anymore.

"Who is guilty is obvious!"

Yang An appeared on the scene, and the golden light of the Human Emperor Sword flashed. Images appeared above the heads of the disciples of various families, showing all the things they had done to the world.

With very few exceptions, almost all members of aristocratic families have committed unforgivable crimes.

Many disciples of aristocratic families don't practice martial arts. They're bored in the current environment, so what else can they do? They just find ways to torment people at the bottom. Even the Nine Paths of Evil have become a topic of conversation among them, and there are countless imitations of their behavior.

"So this is what these aristocratic families are like!"

The people of the capital were abuzz with discussion.

Even the Cui family, which prides itself on its righteousness, has many bad apples.

"I am ashamed!" Cui Qinghe took a deep breath, bowed his head to apologize to Yang An, and made no mention of forgiveness.

He survived only because he knelt down quickly, and as a righteous Dharma body, he had indeed done nothing wrong. Even the Dharma body was like this, while other noble families were as if they had lost their parents.

"puff!"

In an instant, countless flowers of blood exploded.

"This serves as a warning to you all. The world belongs to all people, not to you!"

Yang An, with a majestic expression, waved his hand, and blue lotuses fell from the sky, imbued with the energy of life. Wherever they passed, diseases receded and longevity was extended.

"Your Majesty the Holy King! Your Majesty the Holy King!" Countless people cried out in joy.

"Isn't this too cruel..."

Before such a sound could be uttered, it was reported and the person was immediately arrested. An investigation revealed that the family was colluding with evil spirits.

"Senior Yang An seems to be going a bit too far." Meng Qi was sweating profusely, hoping that the Su family wouldn't cause trouble and implicate him.

"That's not right! I'm a Shaolin disciple, I've already become a monk! My past is none of my concern!"

This is the state of the petty bourgeoisie. Meng Qi has not yet undergone a complete transformation. For those in power who seek personal gain, even legendary immortals or divine intervention from the other side would find it difficult to resolve the issue.

The new era is indeed one of peace and prosperity, and everyone has hope, but if this continues for too long, it will ultimately lead to the same fate.

But Yang An's voice from the sky gave Meng Qi a pleasant surprise: "So it is with aristocratic families, and so it is with sects! No one can escape!"

Hundreds of humanoid true qi emerged from the sky, clad in glazed armor, wielding platinum spears, and spreading their black and white wings, radiating a fierce aura. Each one resembled a celestial soldier or general, transforming into streaks of light and sweeping away the Great Jin Dynasty.

Aristocratic families eat meat, so sects naturally have to offer sacrifices to them.

If we were to really count them all, ancient temples, Buddhist monasteries, and Taoist retreats also plundered countless amounts of the people's wealth.

Because of the existence of extraordinary powers in the real world, it is difficult for the higher-ups of the righteous sects to cultivate to the top if they do not have the mindset to do so, but the lower-level people are as they should be.

Yang An showed no mercy; anyone who stood in his way died, and it was already a sign of compassion that he did not implicate anyone.

Meng Qi's smile froze, but he quickly relaxed. "Wait, I'm a former disciple of Shaolin Temple, so it seems like everything's alright now."

In his view, most of the righteous sects in the world are still quite upright. At most, some of them are just wicked. Anyway, the people close to him are definitely not among those who are purged.

"Who is the sect leader of the Extinction Heaven Sect, him or me?"

In Shaolin Temple, even the monk Kongwen, who was actually the demon master Han Guang in disguise, felt a prickling sensation. The entire divine capital had changed hands, with one Dharma body, nearly ten half-step Dharma bodies, and all those divine weapons.

In today's world, almost no one can break through it.

But Yang An, alone with his sword, stormed into the palace and forced a once-powerful dynasty to submit.

"He seems to harbor a stubborn, prejudiced killing intent towards powerful and influential families." Han Guang frowned. Was it because of something that had happened to him? His plans had been almost completely disrupted.

"Fine, we've got the stuff, let him keep Shaolin Temple."

Han Guang left without looking back, his divine sense warning him that this fire would sooner or later spread to major sects like Shaolin, Zhenwu, and Xuantian, since every sect had a few evildoers among them.

Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately.

There are dirty tricks in Shaolin Temple too, and he didn't want to go against the Holy King because of it. He'd rather step on that landmine for that old bastard Kong Wen.

"Abbot Kongwen!"

Not long after he left, a high-ranking Shaolin monk reported with a solemn expression that the Great Jin Dynasty had changed its appearance and submitted to the Holy King who wielded the Human Emperor's Sword. Now, the dynasty was even demanding tribute from all the sects in the world. How should this be dealt with?

"Abbot?"

The Shaolin monks were astonished, for they had not seen the man.

They immediately searched all the temples, and only when they could no longer hide it did they notify others.

"The abbot of Shaolin Temple, the Venerable Monk Kongwen, has gone missing!"

However, this news was far less shocking to the entire world than the appearance of the Human Emperor's Sword, the change of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the submission to the Holy King.

News of the events within the Great Jin Dynasty spread rapidly, causing a sensation and uproar throughout the Northern Zhou, the Western Regions, the Great Grasslands, the East Sea, and the Southern Wilderness!
"One man suppressed the puppet state of Jin and forced it to submit!"

"How could there be such a powerful person in this world!" The Emperor of Great Zhou frowned, but considering that the other party came from beyond the borders and was indeed not from their own land, he could only accept it helplessly.

"Next, they'll probably target the Great Zhou!" He felt a heavy weight in his heart, under immense pressure.

Most importantly, the opponent has the Emperor's Sword, which is a matter of law!
Without the Emperor's sword, the pseudo-Jin state would never have submitted so easily. Having the law and the law are two different concepts.

The opposing side possessed both power and legal justification; with the end times approaching, they had a legitimate reason to save all living beings. The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty felt a profound sense of powerlessness.
