By cultivating both the True Body of Heaven and Earth Scripture and Dragon Transformation Script at the same time, the strength of Wu Qi’s fleshly body could no longer be described in normal terms after he broke through to the realm of Dao Breaking. But for the most part, he was perfectly capable of resisting and breaking all magic with his flesh alone.

Later on, after he had obtained the memories of his previous life, he had tempered himself with the Heaven Refining Cauldron and combined the True Body of Heaven and Earth Scripture, Dragon Transformation Script, Dragon Kill, and other cultivation techniques with the Heaven Refining Grand Magic. He had even nourished his body with the Primal Purple Energy and Yuan Ling energy. All of that had further strengthened his fleshly body by countless times.

The True Body of Heaven and Earth Scripture was created by the almighty experts of the human race after the Pangu True Body Technique cultivated by Pangu himself. When cultivated to its peak, one could have a body that was about forty to fifty percent as strong as Pangu. The Heaven Refining Grand Magic, on the other hand, was invented by Lord Yuan Ling, whose flesh was much stronger than Pangu’s.

As a result, the current strength of Wu Qi’s body was beyond others’ imagination. He had only lightly kicked King Li Shan in the stomach, but the latter’s guts immediately broke in a few places, with a clear footprint emerging on his back. A mouthful of hot blood mixed with some slimy, green and yellow fluid sprayed out of his mouth. Folding his arms around his belly, King Li Shan passed out without even making a noise.

Several of his confidants cursed furiously as they drew their swords and bolted for Wu Qi.

Wu Qi looked coldly at the few generals, who were at the peak-realm of the Second Pangu Heaven, and did nothing to stop them from attacking him. He was a little afraid of Great Yu’s Oracles. After all, Great Yu had passed on for so many years, and heaven knew if they had any evil spells that could hurt Dao Breaking experts. But when it came to these generals who fought with sheer brute force, he did not take them seriously at all.

The swords struck him; a burst of sharp snapping noises echoed out as the blades broke into pieces and the hilts flew away along with droplets of blood. Before the generals could scream, Wu Qi gave each of them a slap in the face. As a result, they flew tumbling backward while shrieking, with half of their faces and cheekbones shattered. From afar, it looked as if half of their heads were blown away by Wu Qi. The wounds were not fatal, but they looked frightening.

While Wu Qi was slapping the men, Huang Liang, who was the first to be injected with virtues, had completed his breakthrough and woken up. When a human general was breaking through the realm of the Third Pangu Heaven, it did not require him to comprehend any Laws of the Heaven and Earth, and he did not have to transcend any tribulations. And when he was done, his physical strength would soar tremendously.

Upon seeing someone being bold enough to attack Wu Qi, Huang Liang, who regarded himself as Wu Qi’s most loyal and most capable subordinate, roared and leaped toward them. The few generals were still flying backward, their hands flailing in the air, when he arrived next to them, leaving numerous afterimages in the void behind him. Swiftly, he twisted and broke their necks. After stepping into the realm of the Third Pangu Heaven, Huang Liang could bully these generals as easily as a Primordial Immortal beating an ordinary Gold Immortal, or as easily as a mortal crushing an ant.

After killing King Li Shan’s confidants, Huang Liang, who felt that his whole body was full of endless power, snapped, “Who dares to be rude to my lord? Step forward and let me see your ugly face!” He shouted as he raised his arms until his upper arms were parallel with the ground, showing everyone his thick muscles. Suddenly, the armor on his upper body was shattered by his bulging muscles, and all his clothes were blown away in ashes.

He stared blankly at all the dumbfounded people in the sky, bare-chested. A few moments later, he lowered his head slowly, then darted back behind Wu Qi in dismay.

Deep and strong sounds of breathing rang out across the void as Bai Qi and the others completed their breakthroughs one after another as well. While feeling the immense, almost infinite power in them, the dozens of the best generals from the six states stood behind Wu Qi, releasing the killing intents they had cultivated in the battlefields for many years. Awed by the dreadful murderous auras, the generals who served King Li Shan dared not to rush forward again.

King Yang Shan looked at the men behind Wu Qi, his eyes glinting. He was shocked, wondering when did Wu Qi recruit such a splendid group of generals. Unlike Huang Liang, who was born and raised in Great Yu, Bai Qi and the others were giving off an air that was almost as dignified as him. Moreover, the way they carried themselves was completely different from any of Great Yu’s military officers. It was like an antelope in a flock of sheep; the temperament and demeanor could not be overshadowed. He couldn’t help but study the group curiously.

Long before they came to Liangzhu, Wu Qi had helped Bai Qi and the others to slightly change their appearances, using methods from the Scroll of Stealing. They did not change much, except that the corners of their eyes were higher, their lips longer, the bridge of their noses flatter, the thickness of their eyebrows changed, and the angle of their chins modified. With only these little changes, they looked like completely different people.

Even though King Yang Shan himself had sent all the emperors and courtiers of the six states to Myriad Immortals Planet, he could not recognize the men in front of him.

The reason was simple. Firstly, Wu Qi had changed their appearances; secondly, King Yang Shan did not take Bai Qi and the others too seriously in those years. To him, these people were nothing more than pawns. How could he take a serious note of their appearance? Besides, as Wu Qi had lifted the Black Celestial Forbidden Curse on them, King Yang Shan could not sense the unique aura in them, and naturally, he did not question their identity.

With the immense virtues, Wu Qi had propelled the generals of the six states into the realm of Third Pangu Heaven. Coupled with Ao Buzun and the others who were crazily devouring Torch Dragon’s flesh, he was showing off a formidable strength now. His foundation was still too weak when compared with those great clans, but he had Kunwu Swords, which made others regard him as Xuanyuan’s heir. On top of all that, he had dozens of Primordial experts under his command. With such power, who dared to attack him in a rush?

King Xin Shan gave King Li Shan a glance, who was seriously injured by Wu Qi’s kick, and his face flickered. A few moments later, he suddenly snapped, “King Dong Hai, why did you attack and seriously injure the prince of Great Yu? What’s your purpose? Do you want to revolt with this little power behind you?”

Wu Qi raised his right hand and announced in a deep voice, “I swear on my soul that I will never revolt.”

King Xin Shan gaped at Wu Qi, his face turning purple due to the sudden vow. He gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, then cried out, “If that is the case, quickly hand over the Sun and Moon Torch! You, you, what are you trying to do exactly?”

Wu Qi looked at him in a feigned surprise and asked casually, “Why are you always picking on me? Are you afraid I’ll say…”

Before Wu Qi could finish, King Xin Shan growled, “How dare you? Why should I be afraid of you?”

King Yang Shan and the other Kings of the council turned to stare at King Xin Shan at the same time, their eyes flashing with an unspeakable danger. King Yin Shan said grimly, “King Xin Shan, hold your horses! Let King Dong Hai say what he wants to say.” He paused and coughed lightly, then went on, “I can’t believe the Heavenly Dao has bestowed such an enormous amount of virtues after Torch Dragon was slain. I had heard that as the Human Emperor is favored by the Heavenly Dao, anyone who tries to kill him will be tangled in evil karma. And…hehe, those who killed the person with an immense amount of evil karma will be rewarded an enormous amount of virtues!”

Standing aside, King Gu Shan, who had just awakened, gritted his teeth and said with a cold grin, “Please, King Dong Hai, tell us who collaborated with Torch Dragon to kill His Majesty.”

All the Kings of the council fixed their eyes on King Xin Shan.

King Xin Shan’s expression remained the same, but beads of cold sweat were breaking out of his back. He stared at the torch floating beside Wu Qi, his eyes flashing. Nobody knew what he was thinking right now.

Wu Qi gently patted the torch and said in a flat voice, “I captured this treasure, so it is naturally mine now.”

King Yang Shan nodded. “It makes sense. King Dong Hai had seized the treasure himself, so it naturally belongs to him now!”

When he said that, King Yang Shan was quite pleased. Wu Qi was a confidant he had promoted himself. With the latter’s overall strength increased, his power would be strengthened as well. Besides, if the Sun and Moon Torch fell into his hands, it was hard to know how much backstabbing it would bring him. So, it was better to give it to Wu Qi than to take it in his own hands, lest he became someone else’s target.

As for the other Kings of the council, since even King Yang Shan could not get such a precious treasure, it was better for them not to dream about it.

After quickly deciding the ownership of the Sun and Moon Torch, King Yang Shan asked, “King Dong Hai, do you have any definite clues about His Majesty’s murder?”

Wu Qi nodded slowly. He recounted the clues he had obtained in the God’s Jail through cruel interrogation, and then told everyone the evidence he had extracted from Torch Dragon’s soul.

“The imperial edict of passing the throne to King Yang Shan is a forgery, designed to bring chaos to Great Yu.

“I know all about how the edict was forged. However, all but a few of the masterminds have been silenced.”

King Xin Shan rudely interrupted Wu Qi. “Silenced? How? How can someone possibly silence people in Great Yu’s imperial palace?”

Wu Qi gave him a cold look and said faintly, “The imperial guard who was on duty in front of the great hall that night was killed by you and Buddha Sole, the rebellious evil Buddha from the Buddhist League, and then you asked Torch Dragon to swallow all the corpses. Why do you still ask me how? You should know better!”

King Xin Shan burst into laughter as he pointed at Wu Qi and snapped, “You’re just trying to smear me because I want the Sun and Moon Torch! I can’t believe you…”

Wu Qi grabbed the torch and threw it over to King Xin Shan. “I don’t want it anymore. Since you like it so much, take it!”

Without looking at the dumbfounded King Xin Shan, Wu Qi turned to King Yang Shan and the other Kings of the council and said, “King Xin Shan and King Li Shan colluded with the Buddhist League. They smuggled Buddha Sole into the imperial palace and killed His Majesty with Torch Dragon’s help. On the day His Majesty was enthroned, he was told by the Grand Oracle of that time that he would die at the hands of his own sons. If I may ask, my lords, is this real?”

Before Wu Qi’s voice had even died away, King Xin Shan had pressed his hand on the Sun and Moon Torch and roared at the top of his lungs, “The Kings have rebelled, conspiring to seize the throne! All the generals of Flying Bear Army, on my orders, attack Dong Hai Army and wipe out all the rebels!”

Grabbing the torch, King Xin Shan and tens of thousands of civil and military officials raced toward the palace’s exit. The ground trembled faintly, and from all directions came the deafening battle cries.

The Flying Bear Army, less than two years old and led by King Xin Shan’s trusted generals, poured out in force and headed straight for Liangzhu.

The main battalion of the army was right in the city of Liangzhu. At the moment, countless soldiers had rushed out of it, charging toward the residences that belonged to the Kings of the council.
