Chapter 286: The Emperor's Robe and the Great Dao
Li Yangde stood on the fifth suspended stone slab, with a bottomless abyss under his feet and the ghosts' shrill cries echoing in his ears.
He looked up at the sky, his face full of vicissitudes, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
"I originally wanted to be an ordinary night watchman, protect the peace in my area, marry and have children, and live an ordinary life... But why, why did it have to be me?"
He covered his face in pain, and the trick of fate almost made him collapse.
"I don't want to be the King of Fengdu. I just want to live my own life..."
He stepped onto the sixth stone slab with trembling hands.
boom!
A huge torrent of memories flooded into his mind, and countless images flashed before his eyes.
Those fragments of memory that did not belong to him cut into his soul like sharp blades.
"Ah!" Li Yangde screamed in pain, his body shaking violently.
At the same time, a thunderous cry of pleading came from below: "Emperor! Save us!"
"Great Emperor! Grant us liberation!"
Countless ghosts wailed at his feet, surging like a tide, the sound was deafening and made people's scalps tingle.
Li Yangde struggled in pain, and something seemed to be awakening deep in his soul.
His aura began to become powerful and majestic, like a sleeping emperor slowly waking up.
The seventh piece, the eighth piece...
He stepped onto the remaining stone slabs one by one, each step accompanied by screams of pain and the frantic shouts of ghosts.
When he finally stood on the ninth stone slab, the entire Fengdu Imperial Palace began to shake violently, as if welcoming their emperor.
Golden light burst out from him, illuminating the entire dark abyss.
He slowly opened his eyes.
"I am Fengdu!"
Li Yangde slowly raised his hand, and golden light condensed in his hand, turning into a golden sword.
He looked down at the ghost town that had been waiting for a hundred years.
A black figure appeared silently behind him.
A low voice sounded in his ears: "Are you ready..."
Li Yangde looked down at the ghost town that had been waiting for a hundred years.
Countless ghosts surged like a tide, and the roars were deafening.
He closed his eyes slightly, and his mind flashed back to the past twenty years when he was a night watchman.
Various scenes of protecting peace and those warm and ordinary moments.
He raised a bitter smile and muttered to himself:
"Forget it. Since fate has arranged this, I'll just be the King of Fengdu for once!"
He slowly raised his hand, and a slightly worn silver medal lay quietly in his palm.
This medal was obtained when he joined the Night's Watch.
I have been with him for twenty years and witnessed his growth from an ignorant boy to a mature man.
This medal may be his only bond with the past.
"Goodbye, my past."
Li Yangde said softly, and with a flick of his fingertips, the medal cut through the sky and fell directly into the ghost town.
"Since God insists on me becoming the King of Fengdu, then come on! I, Li Yangde, will never be a coward!"
He suddenly opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and a powerful aura emanated from him.
The ghosts around were shocked into silence.
"What a bullshit fate! I'm determined to defy fate and change it. Let you little devils see who is the master of Fengdu!"
He pointed his toes, and his body moved like lightning, instantly stepping onto the seventh stone slab!
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the entire space seemed to shake, and a strong shock wave centered on him.
Spreading in all directions, the sounds of ghosts wailing and wolves howling became even more shrill, as if welcoming the arrival of the king.
Li Yangde didn't stop at all, and stepped onto the eighth stone slab again!
There was another loud bang, even more violent than the previous one, and the entire Fengdu Imperial Palace began to shake, as if it was about to collapse.
The aura on his body also became stronger, like a volcanic eruption, which was heart-pounding.
"Come on, let me see what you ghosts and gods can do to me!"
He roared angrily, and with great momentum, he stepped onto the ninth stone slab again!
This time, the entire Fengdu Imperial Palace wailed in despair.
Countless cracks spread across the ground and walls, as if doomsday was coming.
The golden light on Li Yangde's body became even more dazzling, like a golden sun, illuminating the entire dark abyss.
He felt a powerful force awakening in his body, and an unprecedented sense of confidence surged in his heart.
"Not enough, not enough! Open it for me!"
His eyes were red, and he howled towards the sky. A destructive aura burst out from him.
His last step was on the tenth stone slab!
"Rumble--"
Accompanied by a deafening roar, the entire space began to distort, as if it could not withstand this powerful force.
Golden light patterns appeared around Li Yangde's body, and these light patterns were like chains, binding him tightly.
He seemed to be grabbed by an invisible big hand, and his body floated up uncontrollably.
At this moment, a deep voice sounded in his ears: "You, have no way out..."
Enshrouded in golden light, Li Yangde slowly rose into the air, like a god, overlooking the dark mass of ghosts beneath his feet.
When the ghosts saw him, they all prostrated themselves on the ground, their voices roaring like thunder and waves throughout Fengdu: "Welcome back, Great Emperor!"
This scene is even more lively than a concert. If you don’t know, you might think that some top star has arrived.
Li Yangde's originally conflicted heart was surprisingly calm at this moment, as if everything was destined.
Behind him, the gate of Fengdu Imperial Palace slowly opened, and a golden imperial robe flew out and automatically draped over Li Yangde.
Wow, this imperial robe comes with its own background music (BGM) and special effects when it appears, which simply blinds the eyes of all the ghosts.
At the same time, Li Yangde's realm began to rise rapidly, like riding a rocket, rising up.
When Lin Qiye and the others saw this scene, their jaws almost dropped to the ground. This upgrade speed was even faster than using cheats!
Wu Hen even took out his cell phone and started taking photos of Li Yangde.
He kept muttering, "I have to post this on WeChat Moments to show those guys what a real boss is!"
Fatty Baili swallowed his saliva and asked in shock, "This...this is too exaggerated, right? Is he going to ascend to become an immortal directly?"
Cao Yuanhai was also bewildered, muttering to himself, "What...what on earth is going on? Could it be that this Fengdu Emperor has some hidden bonus effect?"
Wu Hen's system suddenly popped up and said, "Congratulations to the host for triggering the hidden mission - 'Witness the moment of miracle'!"
"Mission Reward: A random artifact! How about it, host? Are you excited?"
Wu Hen rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "What the hell am I excited about!"
"I just want to get out of this damn place right now. The atmosphere is so weird, I'm terrified!"
Li Yangde's realm soared all the way, and he was about to break through a critical point, but suddenly, he stopped.
He frowned, as if he had noticed something unusual.
At this moment, a figure shrouded in black mist appeared silently behind him.
A low voice sounded in his ears: "You, seem to have discovered something..."
Li Yangde's realm soared all the way, almost breaking through the sky, but when he was about to reach that critical point, he suddenly stopped.
His brows were furrowed, as if he was bound by invisible shackles.
A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he muttered to himself, "Is this my limit? Is this the only way I can recover?"
Just as he was lost in thought, the atmosphere around him suddenly became extremely solemn.
He looked up at the sky, only to see bright red ripples appearing on the originally dark dome.
It was as if a hole was torn open by some evil force.
A figure shrouded in black mist appeared quietly, emitting a chilling and eerie aura.
Seeing this, the ghosts trembled and even their cries became weak and desperate.
Li Yangde's brows furrowed more and more. He felt a powerful pressure emanating from the black shadow. This power was far beyond his current realm.
He clenched his fists, feeling an unknown fear in his heart, but more of it was anger and unwillingness.
He shouted, "Who is it? How dare you stir up trouble on my territory!"
The black god was quietly suspended in the air, his voice low and cold: "You, seem to have discovered something..."
Before he finished speaking, a terrifying aura instantly filled the entire Fengdu Imperial Palace, and even the earth began to tremble.
At this moment, Cao Yuanhai looked up, his face changed slightly, and he thought to himself that something was wrong.
Lin Qiye stared at the black shadow closely.
