Chapter 177 Killing the Emperor Comments on Hanlong

The heat from his skull seemed to be boiling his brain, and even Ash couldn't help feeling dizzy.

Two chosen gods, five demigods, hundreds of ghosts and ghost kings… Even if a small portion of their energy is wasted in the battle, it is still extremely powerful energy.

Ash felt that he was only one step away from reaching the maximum level of 100.

The heat gradually dissipated, and I didn't take the step after all. But it didn't matter, it was just a matter of a bite of dessert.

【Level: 99】

Ash glanced at the panel. If there was an experience bar, there would be another 99% added after the 99.

But Ash was not in a hurry for this 1%. After all, it was enough for him to take whatever he wanted from his treasure house.

'The next step is to wait for those achievements to complete themselves.'

Ash pinched his chin. If things went well, it could be done next year. If things went slowly, it would probably take three to four years. After all, changing customs was not an easy task.

Coming in front of the sleeping giant fox, Ash stretched out his hand.

The seal cast by Ashiyamiya Zhihong was quite strong, and Victoria had never broken it, otherwise he would not have been able to set up the Zhuxian Formation.

Destructive energy was released, the golden shield shook, and then exploded.

The big fox inside suddenly woke up. After all, it took almost a day for Ash to refine the energy and completely kill the demigod of the sea of ​​blood.

"Master." Asakusa Ruri lowered her head, her voice a little ashamed.

"Let's go." But Ash didn't care. Her falling asleep was not Zhan's fault, and he wouldn't blame Asakusa Ruri for this.

"Yes." Asakusa Ruri regained her human form and followed closely behind Ash.

At the Tiansheng Palace, Ash met the emperor of this generation, Emperor Asuka.

Emperor Asuka looked at Ash and Asakusa Ruri who came in, straightened his robes and asked, "Is it over?"

However, Ash had no interest in talking to him any more, so he released his sword intent, ready to strangle him.

But surprisingly, this puppet emperor who was controlled by the three saints managed to withstand Ash's attack.

“Ahem!” Emperor Asuka coughed up blood, and the blood dyed the golden fabric red. “Do you all take me seriously?”

The voice was so vicious that anyone who heard it would feel a chill down their spine.

But what responded to him was Ash's sword energy.

boom!
A head fell on the table, but Ash raised his eyebrows. He realized that Emperor Asuka was not dead yet.

Ash did not make another move. He was rather curious about what Emperor Asuka could come up with.

The blood flowed back and Emperor Asuka put his head back on. The scene was extremely horrifying.

Ash interrupted him twice, causing Emperor Asuka to lose his patience. A large seal appeared in his hand, and he shouted at Ash, "Submit to me!"

In an instant, the thoughts of tens of millions and even hundreds of millions of people rushed into Ash's mind, as if to turn him into an idiot.

'The power of faith?'

Ash's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately recognized what this power was.

He was wondering if Emperor Asuka had the power of faith, but he didn't expect that Emperor Asuka actually took it out himself.

The divine punishment started to rotate, immediately purifying the power of faith that surged into his mind, leaving only the purest power to be absorbed by his body.

However, due to the marginal effect, the effect is not as good as before. But Ash is not picky, having it is better than nothing.

Emperor Asuka held the seal in his hand and looked at Ash nervously. He had been enduring for so many years just for this moment, to regain power.

Originally, he wanted to slowly control those demigods and then overthrow the rule of the saints in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect Ash to suddenly intervene.

But it’s a good thing. The three holy masters are dead, and there is no one in Fuso Kingdom to restrain him anymore. If he can control or eliminate the unexpected factor of Ash, he will have the final say in this world.

Did you make it?

Emperor Asuka looked at Ash and said, "Since you are meeting me, why don't you bow?"

Ash pretended to kneel down, and Emperor Asuka was overjoyed when he saw this. He succeeded!

But Ash posed and stepped back, saying in a teasing voice, "I was just teasing you, do you really believe it?"

What! Asuka Mikado was shocked. How could it be possible? He could influence the demigod even without using his full strength, but now he couldn't influence Ash even with his full strength!

But his horror only lasted for a second or two, because within that second or two, the dark golden flame had swept through his entire body, burning him into nothingness.

The seal fell, but was caught by a hand.

Ash played with it for a while, and after roughly understanding its function, he threw it to Asakusa Ruri: "Here you go. From now on, all the power of faith will be stored in it."

"Yes." Asakusa Ruri nodded after taking the seal.

After absorbing the flame, Ash's skull began to heat up again. He didn't expect that Emperor Asuka was also a believer of the evil god, and he just made up for the last 1% for him.

When the heat in his skull faded away, Ash felt that his body had reached a state of perfection and his strength increased by 10% out of thin air.

In other words, his combat power is too terrifying. If it were placed on an ordinary strong man, it should have increased by 40% to 50%.

'Now all we need is the Emperor Dragon Body Refining Technique and the Immortal Soul.'

Ash clenched his fists. He would soon be able to obtain the Emperor Dragon Body Refining Technique, but the Immortal Soul was a little more troublesome. He would have to wait until the two achievements of [Establish Virtue among All Living Beings] and [Write a Book and Establish Words] were completed.

But these two cannot be completed in a short period of time.

Want to find another way to get it?
Yaxiu shook his head slightly and thought, forget it. He could still wait for two or three years, just enough time to calm down.

Next it was time to collect the spoils. He looted the Tiansheng Palace and other palaces.

The next step was to help Asakusa Ruri establish her status, which was quite easy since he had almost killed all those with status.

However, there were still many people who defected. They were all diehard believers of the emperor. These people included common people, wealthy people, and high-ranking officials.

After all, their foundation is shallow, and Asakusa Ruri and Ash have few people under their command, so they are allowed to grow bigger.

But this phenomenon ended when warships landed on the Fuso border one after another, and the army and war group of the Chonglong Empire arrived.

In less than a month, the army of the Chonglong Empire had completely suppressed the Fuso Kingdom, or the Eleven Fuso Regions.

In the former Tiansheng Palace, now Tianhu Palace, Ash was sitting at the table, reading a book.

This was looted from Go-Sho Palace, where Ashiyanomiya Shihiro lived.

Although it is not clear why Ashiya Tomohiro wrote a book to pass on knowledge, Ash is still quite interested in the information above, which is Ashiya Tomohiro's speculation about the throne of God.

The throne of God is the foundation of the Kingdom of God. All gods are powerful because of the Kingdom of God. So if a demigod creates his own Kingdom of God, can he obtain power that is no less than that of a true God?
This book is filled with Ashiyamiya Shihiro's experimental data on artificial kingdom of God or artificial deity, and the Taoyuan Village that was built with the Killing Stone of Asakusa Ruri is also recorded.

According to the final description, the recent experiment is based on the power of a country's faith and twelve demigods as the cornerstone, in order to truly establish a small world. By mastering the core of this small world, one should be able to possess power far exceeding that of a demigod.

This made Ash a little tempted, and after thinking about it carefully, he decided to conduct an experiment, but the subject was not him, but Maria.

Because only Maria has a demiplane.

Moreover, this method is of little use to him, because he is confident that he can seize a throne in the future, so artificial thrones are redundant for him.

But his women were unable to seize the throne of god. After all, although they had great potential, they were all forced to grow with his financial support and could not compare to the real top demigods.

In addition, Ash also knew where the seal in Emperor Asuka's hand came from. It was given to him secretly by Ashiya Shihiro in an "unknowing" way in order to accumulate the power of faith.

"You are indeed a follower of Tzeentch. For your own purposes, you have manipulated an entire powerful country. Unfortunately, you have encountered a variable like me."

Ash closed the book and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

If it weren't for him, in the near future, Ashiya Tomohiro would have launched a coup and used all the resources of a country to help him complete the experiment.

But it's all his now, Ash glanced at the information in his eyes.

{Achievement: [Wealthy Enough to Rival a Nation IX] Achieved, Reward: Achievement Points*256}
After plundering a country's wealth, the achievement of [Rich enough to rival a country] comes to an end, and the only thing left to dig is the [Spend money like water] series of achievements.

{Achievement: [Tenth Level Perfection] Achieved, Reward: Divinity*1}
{Activate achievement [Legend]: Ignite the divine fire and enter the legend.}
There is nothing much to say about this, so skip it. {Achievement: [Legendary Slayer] Achieved, Reward: Divinity*2}
This is the biggest unexpected gain this time. According to the achievement description, at least ten demigods had to be killed to complete it.

Ash counted the Hammer Demon, the Lizard Demigod caught by fishing, and the Barbarian Demigod of the Corrupted Land, and found that there were indeed more than ten of them.

{Achievement: [The Hero of Heroes] achieved, reward: inherent skill: [Hero Domination].}
[Heroic Overlord]: The male among males, the overlord among men. While showing your masculine demeanor, any action you take will receive a substantial bonus.

Ash looked at the introduction of "The Hero among Heroes" - killing one person is a sin, killing ten thousand is a hero. Killing nine million people is the hero among heroes.

Ash estimated that the nine million was probably related to some previous achievement goals, and the completion number might be affected by certain specific factors, otherwise he only cut less than a few hundred thousand, so where did the nine million come from?

As for the inherent skill [Heroic Domination] that was awarded, Ash experimented with it and found that it was not omnipotent, but it was versatile. It could be used in combat, riding, public speaking, and any other activities that showed off one's personal style.

Ash glanced at his current achievement points, 980 points, and then spent fifty achievement points to push [Xiongba] to its skill limit.

[Dragon Pillar] showed a desire to devour, but it was not very strong, so Ash did not feed [Xiongba] to [Dragon Pillar].

Moreover, after reaching level 100, Ash had a clearer sense of which skills could be combined and upgraded. [Heroic Domination] and [Mighty as a Mountain] had a high compatibility, as did [Royal Power].

These three all fit the concept of a ruler quite well, and Ash is going to team them up and upgrade them.

But this should happen in two or three years, after all, [Royal Power] comes from the [Gathering Power] series of achievements.

If he wanted to accomplish all of it, Ash estimated that his power would have to be no less than that of the City of Scholars.

However, Ash was not in a hurry to combine and upgrade them, because judging from the underlying concept, this was a unique skill suitable for rulers and would not add much to his existing combat power.

So it doesn’t matter when you get upgraded.

Putting the book away, Ash reached out and pressed down on a head.

The snow-white, slender neck moved rhythmically a few times, and Asakusa Ruri opened her mouth, revealing an empty mouth, indicating that she had eaten everything.

"Yoshi yoshi." Ash stroked Asakusa Ruri's head like a puppy, then pulled the rope. Asakusa Ruri was very sensible and turned her increasingly plump buttocks towards Ash.

——The puppy is barking——

After dealing with matters in Fuso, Ash returned to the Chonglong Empire.

The first thing he did when he came back was to issue graduation certificates to apprentices like Ren You who had mastered the [Five Flavors Cooking].

[I am the ancestor] still needs them to complete it. If he doesn't branch out, how can he be called the ancestor?

At the main seat, Ash ate the dishes handed to him by the apprentices one bite after another, and then gave cards to those who passed and did not give cards to those who failed.

In the end, a total of thirteen apprentices received completion certificates.

{Achievement: [Seven Peaches and Plums] achieved, reward: achievement points*4}
{Activate achievement · [Thirty Students]: Teach 16/30 students and help them complete their studies.}
Yaxiu handed the last sign to Ren You: "What are your plans for the future?"

Ren You was the first apprentice to follow him, and he also tried his best, so Yaxiu didn't mind giving him a hand to make his future life easier.

Ren You seems to have a plan for his future: "I plan to travel around the world, discover more monsters, and improve the God of Food."

The Cookery Book is another addition to the Five Flavors Martial Arts School by Ash. It records the edible parts and cooking methods of everything from slimes to dragons.

These were all eaten by Ash himself, and he later had his apprentices add more to the list. Now the number of monsters recorded on it is almost six thousand.

Yaxiu looked at Ren You in surprise. He thought Ren You was going to go back to open a restaurant. After all, he also had some desires for power and wealth.

With his current strength, he could naturally tell that what Ren You said was true. He really wanted to travel around the world and perfect the God of Cookery.

"In that case, I'll give you this thing to save your life." Ash took out a piece of jade, then squeezed it, and stone powder fell down. He spread out his palm, and a pendant in the shape of a long sword appeared in Ash's palm.

Ash handed the pendant to Ren You: "It contains my full-strength attack. Anyone who is not a demigod can be killed. Even a demigod will be seriously injured by this attack."

"But you still have to be careful on the road, after all, you only have the power of one strike."

"Thank you, Master!" Ren You suppressed his joy and respectfully took the pendant from Yaxiu.

The other apprentices also looked at Ren You with envy.

However, they knew that this was what Ren You deserved. After all, apart from the blessing of his status, Li Zhi's reputation in Wuwei Martial Arts School was not as good as Ren You's.

Some people also speculated when "Lin Xiu" would accept Ren You as his disciple.

But now that I have graduated, I don’t have to think about it anymore.

After the course was over, Li Zhi couldn't help but ask, "Master, why don't you accept Senior Brother Ren You as your disciple? He has quite a bit of talent, and he's also very dedicated to you."

"That's because I benefit him." Ash glanced at Li Zhi, "Once I lose power, he will be the first to turn against me."

"His character is only suitable for being a subordinate, not a disciple."

"How could that be?" Li Zhi was puzzled.

Ash walked slowly towards the inner hall: "Of course not, the human heart is very complicated, no one can explain it clearly."

"After the spring, you and Yu'er should go out and gain experience, and see other lives."

"Yes, Master."

On March 1238, of the Black Iron Calendar, Li Zhi and Li Yu set out for training.

Another month passed, and on the same day, the Hanlong Competition of the Chonglong Empire began.

Not surprisingly, Wuwei Martial Arts School was named Hanlong, crushing the other martial arts schools with a huge number of votes.

In the Ninth Floor Palace, Yaxiu appeared here as Lin Xiu, the owner of Wuwei Pavilion.

"Lin Xiu, the owner of Wuwei Pavilion, founded the [Wuwei Kitchen]. So he was called Hanlong." Li Xuanyi said, holding the imperial edict.

On the throne, Empress Chongming crossed her legs and looked at Ya Xiu and said, "Master Lin Xiu, as Hanlong, you have the right to make a reasonable request to me. Tell me, what do you want?"

"I would like to ask Your Majesty to demonstrate the Emperor Dragon Body Refining Technique to me." Yaxiu said.

The important officials in the court were not surprised at all. After all, everyone knew the purpose of Ash's coming to the imperial capital because he did not hide it at all.

The ministers were also observing Chongming's expression. Whenever he was a little displeased, some of them would jump out and attack "Lin Xiu", accusing him of being so audacious and insulting the emperor.

But to their disappointment, Chongming agreed very readily.

"Okay." Chongming nodded. "After the court session, come find Yu. Xuanyi will lead the way for you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ash bowed.

This made some people's expressions change, and the empress's attitude towards Lin Xiu seemed to be a little different.

Chongming would usually think twice about such a request, but this time he agreed to it directly and readily, which was very unusual.

It's impossible.
The ministers left the court with different thoughts, and Yaxiu followed Li Xuanyi to Chonglong Pavilion.

Empress Chongming had been waiting inside for a long time, but compared to the proper palace gown she wore when attending court, the one she wore now was a little revealing.

After sending Yaxiu in, Li Xuanyi retreated. She couldn't bear to watch the scene that followed.

"Show your true face. I have no interest in seeing you like this." Chongming said.

Now you are the financial sponsor, I will listen to you.

Ash shrugged, his muscles and bones contracted, revealing his strangely handsome face again.

"You seem to be more beautiful." Zhongming lifted Ash's chin with his fingers.

Ash slapped away Chongming's fingers: "I would rather you say I'm more manly."

"Then you should grow taller." Chongming said jokingly, "others will think you are underage when they see you."

Ash didn't get angry, after all, he was used to it and found it fun.

Sometimes, for more excitement,
Well, it's quite fun.

　Asking for a monthly ticket!
