The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

Chapter 147 Two Months

A piercing scream rang out, the Heavenly Yin Dharma Body trembled violently, and cracks spread from the point of attack before collapsing with a deafening roar.

puff!

The Heavenly Yin Supreme's figure was struck as if by a heavy blow, flying backward, spitting out blood incessantly, and his aura instantly weakened.

"Cough cough—I—give up!"

The Heavenly Yin Supreme managed to steady himself, his face deathly pale, his eyes filled with horror.

Although he was prepared, he did not expect that he would not be able to withstand even a single sword strike from the Lord of Tianfeng Pavilion, just like Lishan and the others.

"Twenty thousand Supreme Spirit Liquids, and Tianyin City submits to Tianfeng Pavilion."

Ye Feng sheathed his Pillow Snow Sword and spoke calmly.

The Heavenly Yin Supreme's expression shifted, and finally he sighed, raised his hand, took out a mustard seed bracelet, and threw it at Ye Feng.

"Tianyin City may submit to Tianfeng Pavilion, but I am a citizen of Wanlei City, so I will take my leave now."

Twenty thousand Supreme Spirit Liquids—that was all the wealth he had accumulated over the years. However, he was willing to accept the consequences of his gamble, and this outcome was better than losing his life.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Heavenly Yin Supreme did not linger any longer. He transformed into a rainbow of light and headed straight north.

Ye Feng took the mustard seed bracelet and did not stop the Heavenly Yin Supreme from leaving.

His main objective in this campaign was the Supreme Spirit Liquid. Since the Heavenly Yin Supreme had admitted defeat and abandoned Heavenly Yin City and its subordinate forces, he would simply send someone to take over.

"Chen Duanjin, everything in Tianyin City remains the same. You will temporarily serve as the lord of this city."

Ye Feng shifted his gaze to Chen Duanjin.

"Yes, Your Highness, I will certainly live up to your expectations."

Chen Duanjin bowed with his hands clasped, a look of wild joy flashing in his eyes.

This Tianyin City is more than just a single city. Now that the Pavilion Master has entrusted him with its management, it is not only a sign of trust but also an opportunity for him.

"Congratulations--"

Li Baixing and Qian Xuan bowed to Chen Duanjin, their eyes filled with envy.

The territory left behind by a third-grade supreme being is incredibly prestigious. Based on this, it might not be long before Chen Duanjin is able to gather enough supreme spiritual liquid to purchase some items to break through his bottleneck and advance to the second-grade supreme being.

"Don't be too happy yet. With your strength at the peak of the first-grade supreme realm, it's still a bit of a stretch for you to control Tianyin City and the surrounding area."

"This is the Supreme Pill. I will give you one month. If you cannot break through to the second-grade Supreme within one month, then this city will be handed over to the Xuan Bone Palace."

"A place that cannot be controlled is useless to keep."

Ye Feng raised his hand and waved it, and a crystal-clear, light golden pill flew out from his sleeve and hovered in front of Chen Duanjin.

The pill was about the size of a longan, with faint, fine golden patterns flowing across its surface. It emitted a rich medicinal fragrance, which instantly activated the spiritual energy within the body.

"The Supreme Elixir!"

Chen Duanjin's pupils suddenly contracted, his breathing became more rapid, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

The Supreme Heaven Pill is a rare elixir specifically designed to break through the bottleneck of the First Grade Supreme Realm. It is worth thousands of Supreme Spirit Liquids and is often priceless, making it extremely rare.

He had been stuck at the peak of the first-grade supreme realm for many years, and what he lacked was precisely this kind of item to break through the bottleneck. Relying solely on the supreme spiritual liquid might not be enough to successfully complete the breakthrough.

Now that he has this Supreme Pill, he is confident that he can break through to the second-grade Supreme level within a month.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Pavilion Master."

Chen Duanjin accepted the Heavenly Pill, his voice trembling with excitement, and bowed deeply to Ye Feng.

Following this leader now seems like the wisest choice ever.

A hint of envy flashed in Li Baixing's eyes, and his sense of belonging to Tianfeng Pavilion grew stronger.

Following this Pavilion Master, he will surely have such an opportunity in the future. Chen Duanjin is lucky to have taken the first step before him.

"Even if you break through to the second-grade Supreme level, you can only barely control this region. Half of the territory surrounding Tianyin City still needs to be allocated to the Xuan Gu Palace—"

"Our Tianfeng Pavilion cannot currently absorb so many places."

Ye Feng's expression remained calm, but his eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

This Supreme Heaven Pill was one of the spoils he obtained from Li Shan. It was a pity there was only one; otherwise, he would have given it to Li Baixing as well.

Although his strength far surpasses that of a third-rank supreme being, the overall strength of the Heavenly Wind Pavilion is too weak, and there is really no one available. As for those who have recently surrendered, they still need to be observed and understood before they can be placed in any position.

However, he believed that after this war of conquest, it wouldn't be long before Tianfeng Pavilion would become a major power in the southeastern region.

"Alright, let's continue the campaign. We still need to subdue some of the subordinate cities and forces of Tianyin City."

"We can't stop here—"

In less than two months, Tianfeng Pavilion swiftly defeated more than ten forces, including Lishan Sect, Cangxuan Sect, Tianyin City, and Yinluo Sect.

The territory spanning millions of miles around the Qinghuang Ancient Plains has been brought under the control of the Tianfeng Pavilion, and the number of supreme experts under its command has visibly increased, including some third-grade supreme beings.

For a time, the Heavenly Wind Pavilion gained immense influence, even rivaling established forces like the Profound Bone Palace.

As this news spread, the entire southeastern region was shaken.

Wanlei City.

A majestic city, entirely black and covered with puppet patterns, stands atop the mountains.

In the central hall of the city, an old man dressed in black robes with a withered face sat in the main seat. He was the city lord of Wanlei City, Wanlei Supreme, a fourth-grade supreme expert.

"This Lord Tianfeng has some truly formidable methods—"

The Supreme Being of Ten Thousand Puppetry put down the intelligence report in his hand, his withered hand clenched into a fist, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

-

"Lord, should we make a move?"

Below, an elderly man in white robes asked in a deep voice.

In less than two months, the number of cities that had pledged allegiance to them decreased by half, which meant that the profits from the Supreme Elixir had been greatly reduced.

The Supreme Being of Ten Thousand Puppet Masters remained silent for a moment, then shook his head.

"We've already set the rules with that old fox Xuan Gu, so we can't afford to break ties. But if Tianfeng Pavilion tries to push its luck any further, then Wanlei City absolutely cannot stand idly by."

The territories that Tianfeng Pavilion has now acquired, apart from Tianyin City, are not directly controlled by Wanlei City. The only loss is a portion of their annual revenue. But if Tianfeng Pavilion is still not satisfied, then don't expect them to follow any rules.

"This newly emerged Tianfeng Pavilion Master, I wonder which force he comes from. He is so young, yet he has such strength. Among the third-grade supreme beings, there is no one who can match him."

"Even those trained by major powers like the Valley of Ten Thousand Swords and the Demon Corpse Sect are probably no better than this—"

The white-robed old man's face was full of admiration as he spoke.

"The emergence of Tianfeng Pavilion may not necessarily be a bad thing."

The Supreme Being of Ten Thousand Puppetry changed the subject, a smile appearing on his face.

"The greatest threat to our region comes from the Great Luo Heaven Domain. Compared to the tributes collected layer by layer by the three major powers, our losses are enormous every time they launch a war of conquest."

"Since the Heavenly Wind Pavilion Master possesses such strength, the pressure on our region will surely be alleviated in the next campaign."
