Chapter 544: Belonging
"Green Lotus Sword Qi!"
With a thought, Ling Chen summoned all eight strands of Green Lotus Sword Qi.
He then flicked his left hand, and numerous drops of blood flew out, sprinkling onto the eight strands of Sword Qi.
The Sword Qi, bathed in Ling Chen's blood, shone even brighter with a green light, and a faint golden hue appeared at the edges.
"Blood sacrifice?"
Xia Biluo frowned upon witnessing Ling Chen's actions.
She had heard of sacrificing blood to a sword but never to Sword Qi.
Liu Qingcang, too, sensed the terror in Xia Biluo's attack and looked worried.
However, remembering what Ling Chen and he had discussed earlier, he felt somewhat relieved.
Qin Wudi and the others also watched Ling Chen's actions, their faces filled with confusion.
Clearly, this technique was also unknown to them.
"Extinguish the Stars!"
Ling Chen bellowed, and the eight strands of Sword Qi surged crazily into the black greatsword.
A hundred-zhang-long cyan and golden Sword Qi burst forth from the greatsword.
"Boom!"
The fountain-like spouts collided with the cyan and gold Sword Qi, and the entire world trembled.
Clearly, both attacks were terrifyingly powerful.
Then, wave after wave of force, like tides, swept outwards.
Even the lake below churned massive waves.
But these waves vanished into nothingness as soon as they approached the proximity of the Green Lotus Throne.
Two breaths later, the aggressive assault finally subsided.
"No!"
"Impossible!"
"How can you possibly withstand my Netherworld Ascending Strike?!"
Xia Biluo shook her head in disbelief, her eyes filled with incomprehension.
He had used the secret technique of the Netherworld Holy Body, and yet, Ling Chen was unscathed?
How was this possible?
He simply could not accept it!
Looking at Ling Chen, it was clear he hadn't used any secret techniques at all.
If he had used a Holy Body Secret Technique, would she still be alive?
Qin Wudi and the rest were also slack-jawed.
To withstand an attack like Xia Biluo's, they too would have to use a secret technique.
But Ling Chen was still deploying a superior Heavenly Spirit Technique!
How could it be so powerful?
"Could it be because of the blood?"
Liu Qingcang was also full of shock.
Beyond the shock, he pondered the reason behind Ling Chen's immensely powerful attack.
"Could it be because of the blood?"
Liu Qingcang silently speculated.
He produced a small strand of Sword Qi in his palm.
With their abilities, naturally, they could split Sword Qi.
Of course, doing so would impact its power.
"Pfft!"
Liu Qingcang forced out a drop of blood and injected it directly into the small Sword Qi.
However, the Green Lotus Sword Qi showed no reaction.
And naturally, the power remained unchanged.
Ling Chen's bloodline was that of the Green Lotus, not something ordinary bloodlines like Liu Qingcang's could match.
Seeing Liu Qingcang's attempt, Qin Wudi and the others tried as well.
The outcome was the same as Liu Qingcang's.
"Uncle Cang, act now!"
Taking advantage of everyone's shock, Ling Chen immediately sent a message.
Their goal was the Green Lotus Throne, and there was no need to waste time here with these people.
"Okay!"
Liu Qingcang nodded hurriedly.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
He once again drew his bow and shot three arrows!
"Divine Soul Attack!"
Ling Chen shouted loudly as four rounds of suns rose from his Sea of Consciousness.
Hearing Ling Chen's words, Xia Biluo, Qin Wudi, Zhou Heng, and Qi Luan all turned pale.
Next, they felt four terrifying assaults bearing down directly on their Sea of Consciousness with a Divine Soul Attack.
All four of them were extremely tense.
Ling Chen's Divine Soul Attack technique was exceptionally terrifying.
Especially Qin Wudi and the other two who were also facing Liu Qingcang's attack.
The Divine Soul Attack instantly entered their Sea of Consciousness.
They felt a shake in their Divine Souls within the Sea of Consciousness.
Then, a mysterious force emerged within the Sea of Consciousness, swiftly neutralizing the Sun Seal.
Seeing the Divine Soul Attack ineffective, the four of them let out a sigh of relief.
"See you!"
Ling Chen grinned with a smile and, moving like space was nothing, headed straight towards a Green Lotus Throne.
So did Liu Qingcang.
By the time the four of them reacted, Ling Chen and Liu Qingcang were already exceedingly close to the Green Lotus Throne, too late for any attacks.
Ling Chen landed on the Green Lotus Throne.
His gaze turned to Xia Biluo.
"The four of you, there are still two Green Lotus Thrones left, you each still have a fifty percent chance of obtaining one!"
His mocking voice spilled from Ling Chen's mouth. Your support at MV^LEMP^YR keeps the series going.
Following that, the Green Lotus Throne began to slowly close.
Ling Chen and Liu Qingcang disappeared from the view of Xia Biluo and the others.
"Damn it!"
Xia Biluo was so angry he gnashed his teeth.
He had been schemed against by Ling Chen once again.
Eyeing the remaining two Green Lotus Thrones, Xia Biluo's eyes burned with fervor; he must secure a seat at all costs.
Meanwhile, Qin Wudi and the other two also turned their gaze this way.
Originally, the five of them joined forces.
But as soon as the battle began, Chu Xinghe was swayed by Ling Chen.
Now, the four of them would likely have to contend for these two remaining seats!
The four individuals instantly split apart.
Evidently, everyone anticipated what would follow.
For the opportunity to ascend to Kingship, naturally no one was willing to give up.
It took a full half an hour before the four settled the victor from the vanquished.
In the end, Qin Wudi and Xia Biluo emerged as winners, securing the last two Green Lotus Thrones.
With the end of the four's battle, the competition for the Green Lotus Thrones finally came to a close.
"Congratulations to the six of you for earning the chance to ascend to Kingship."
Emperor Yan appeared once again.
The six closed Green Lotus blossoms opened once more.
"However, before your ascension, there's one more matter to announce - that is the ownership of my inheritance!"
Emperor Yan announced with a smile.
"Emperor's Inheritance?"
The six of them focused intently.
The Emperor's Inheritance was far more precious than that of a King's.
It seemed from Lord Yan Huang's words that the ownership of the Emperor's Inheritance would arise from among them.
"The successor to my inheritance is..."
Emperor Yan began to speak.
At this moment, all six held their breath, afraid to miss a single word.
"Ling Chen!"
Emperor Yan's voice resonated powerfully.
The entire Emperor Yan Realm echoed with this announcement.
"Is it him?"
Chu Xinghe and Qin Wudi wore gloomy expressions.
Ling Chen's performance had, indeed, been somewhat stronger than theirs.
"It really is him!"
Xia Biluo, gnashing his teeth with unwillingness, could barely contain his resentment.
With Ling Chen receiving the Emperor's Inheritance, he posed a tremendous threat to the Great Xia Royal Family in the future.
"I must ask Father King to personally take care of this man!"
Xia Biluo thought inwardly.
He was simply no match for Ling Chen.
Only Father King could make a move.
"Young Master, congratulations!"
"Brother, congratulations!"
Liu Qingcang and Ling Wu both congratulated Ling Chen.
"Thank you, Lord, for your recognition!"
Ling Chen quickly stood up to express his gratitude towards Emperor Yan.
"Young Master Ling, there's no need for formalities!"
Emperor Yan said with a smile.
Among these six, Ling Chen had performed the best.
And even if Ling Chen's performance had been unsatisfactory, she would have still bestowed her inheritance upon him.
Because Ling Chen was one of her kin!
He was also the one most likely to avenge her!
With Ling Chen's identity, dealing with those people from that clan wasn't very difficult.
After all, Ling Chen was an inner clan member with the Green Lotus Bloodline.
