Chapter 531: No Bullying Mother!
In the Imperial Capital of the Aotian Empire, Aotian City.
Long Yurou, clad in a dragon robe, hovered in the air, holding a jade seal in her hand. Her expression was somber as she looked at the group of gods in front of her without speaking.
Behind her, two middle-aged men and two middle-aged women stood side by side, each exuding a powerful aura. One of the men angrily shouted, “Old Man Fu, you led troops into Aotian City without Her Majesty’s summons. Are you trying to rebel?”
“Rebel?”
The one called Old Man Fu was a white-haired old man with an even more powerful aura. He sneered, “She’s just a woman from the lower realm. What qualifications does she have to be the Aotian Empress?”
Behind Old Man Fu, ten other old men stood in a row, each exuding an aura no weaker than Old Man Fu’s.
One of the old men looked at Long Yurou and said, “Little girl, the Aotian Empire is one of the three great powers in the God Realm, not a small empire from your lower realm. You can’t control it. I advise you to abdicate willingly. We will elect a more suitable person to be the Aotian Emperor.”
“Indeed.”
Another old man spoke, “Now, the Crimson Flame Sacred Ground, the Ice and Snow Sacred Ground, and even many Divine Domains are eyeing the Aotian Empire covetously. We must elect a stronger and more prestigious person to lead the Aotian Empire to deter those with ulterior motives. We ask the Empress to abdicate.”
“We ask the Empress to abdicate.”
All the old men, and the gods they brought with them, shouted in unison. At the same time, they unleashed their powerful auras, pressing down on Long Yurou and the others.
The four people behind Long Yurou took a step forward, releasing their auras to resist.
However, their strength was still inferior to the eleven old men, let alone facing eleven opponents with only four. They were instantly at a disadvantage.
Hum!
The jade seal in Long Yurou’s hand emitted a faint golden light. At the same time, above the Imperial Palace of Aotian City, a cloud of fortune spanning an unknown distance appeared.
Roar!
A loud dragon roar came from the cloud, and a golden dragon could be faintly seen within it.
A terrifying aura pressed down, instantly blocking the auras of the eleven old men.
Long Yurou stepped out from behind the four and said calmly, “My position as Aotian Empress was personally bestowed by God Venerable Aotian. If you have any objections, you can take them up with God Venerable Aotian. Taking advantage of God Venerable Aotian’s absence to force me to abdicate, how is this different from rebellion?”
The eleven old men looked at the cloud of fortune with grim expressions. This kind of cloud of fortune did not originally exist in the God Realm. It was created by God Venerable Aotian to gather the power of fortune of the entire Aotian Empire.
Holding the jade seal allowed one to mobilize the fortune of the entire Aotian Empire. Even though Empress Aotian was only at the God King realm, with the support of the power of fortune, she possessed the combat power of a God Emperor.
A large part of their reason for forcing the Empress to abdicate was also their covetousness for this jade seal.
If they could control this jade seal and enjoy the support of the Aotian Empire’s national fortune, their combat power would be comparable to a God Venerable.
At that time, even if God Venerable Aotian returned, they would have nothing to fear.
Among the ten great Divine Domains under the Aotian Empire, only four were directly supported by God Venerable Aotian. The other six were old Divine Domains from the God Realm, only submitting out of fear of God Venerable Aotian’s power.
This time, they received news that God Venerable Aotian might not be able to return, which is why they dared to come and force Empress Aotian to abdicate.
“In that case, don’t blame us.”
Old Man Fu, the leader, had a cold glint in his eyes.
Long Yurou frowned slightly. She turned her head and looked at a few young people in the crowd behind her, transmitting her voice, “Ling’er, when will the God Emperor of your Divine Domain arrive?”
“I don’t know,” Xiao Ling’er shook her head.
She, Jin Laosan, He Laowu, and Zhu Laojiu, like other young prodigies, had come from their respective Divine Domains to witness the splendor of Empress Aotian. They didn’t expect to encounter Old Man Fu and the others forcing her to abdicate.
As one of the four Divine Domains within the Aotian Empire that firmly supported the Empress, they had already sent messages to their respective Divine Domains.
Old Man Fu noticed Long Yurou’s actions. His gaze fell on Xiao Ling’er and the others, and he sneered, “Little girl, don’t think that the few Divine Domains of Heavenly Sword will come to save you. They have already been stopped by our people. And don’t use God Venerable Aotian to pressure me. God Venerable Aotian is not coming back.”
Long Yurou’s heart sank. It seemed that today’s matter would not end well.
“Attack!”
Old Man Fu waved his hand, and everyone behind him launched their attacks.
Including Old Man Fu, there were a total of eleven God Emperors and dozens of God Kings. As for those below the God King realm, they were not qualified to participate in this battle.
The four God Emperors and more than ten God Kings behind Long Yurou also launched their counterattacks. However, they were outnumbered and soon fell into a disadvantage.
“Fortune Suppression!”
Long Yurou shouted, and a golden light descended from the cloud of fortune, entering the jade seal.
Hum!
The next moment, the light of fortune bloomed, forming a domain of fortune above Aotian City.
Within this domain of fortune, the strength of all enemies would be suppressed. All allies recognized by Long Yurou would be supported by the power of fortune, and their strength would be greatly enhanced.
With the help of the domain of fortune, the Aotian Empire’s side finally stabilized the situation.
“Humph!”
◈◈◈
Old Man Fu snorted coldly, and a dark blue light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
“Death Domain!”
He shouted, and a dark blue domain suddenly appeared, squeezing out a space within the domain of fortune.
Cackle!
A group of people in black robes rushed out of his Death Domain and attacked Long Yurou.
“Golden Light of Fortune!”
Long Yurou shouted, and the domain of fortune suddenly burst into dazzling golden light.
Zzz!
Under the illumination of the golden light of fortune, wisps of green smoke rose from the black-robed men. But even so, the black-robed men did not stop at all, as if they could not feel pain. They rushed straight towards Long Yurou and raised their hands to strike.
Skeletal hands emerged from the sleeves of the black robes, and the skeletal hands were surrounded by a dark blue light.
Clearly, all these black-robed men were skeletons.
“Fortune Protection!”
Long Yurou was, after all, the Empress of the Nine Provinces, and she was naturally skilled in the use of the power of fortune.
Hum!
A curtain of fortune light descended, enveloping her.
Bang! Bang!
The skeletal hands struck the curtain of fortune light and were bounced away. But the skeleton army was relentless and continued to attack Long Yurou.
“I want to see how long you can last.”
Old Man Fu said coldly. As the Death God Emperor, his strength was among the best of all God Emperors. Long Yurou was only at the God King realm and relied on the support of fortune to have the combat power of a God Emperor.
But controlling the jade seal and mobilizing the power of fortune consumed a terrifying amount of divine power. And the continuous attacks of the skeleton army would further accelerate the consumption of divine power. He didn’t believe that Long Yurou could last long.
And as he expected, as time passed, Long Yurou’s divine power was rapidly consumed. Even the domain of fortune flickered, as if it would extinguish at any moment.
“Death God Light! Break!”
Seeing that the time was right, Old Man Fu appeared with a skull scepter in his hand. He formed hand seals with both hands, and a dark blue beam of light shot out from the skull, striking the domain of fortune.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the domain of fortune shattered instantly.
Pfft!
Long Yurou spat out a mouthful of blood, and her aura instantly weakened.
“Hand over the jade seal and abdicate, and I can spare your life,” Old Man Fu dispersed his Death Domain and stared coldly at Long Yurou.
Long Yurou wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said calmly, “If you want the jade seal, come and get it yourself.”
With that, she quickly formed hand seals, preparing to fight to the death.
God Venerable Aotian had entrusted the Aotian Empire to her. How could she hand it over to a group of people with ulterior motives?
“Stubborn. Since you seek death, I will grant your wish.”
Old Man Fu snorted coldly and raised his skull scepter high.
Whoosh!
Just then, a golden sword energy and a saber ray pierced through the air and slashed at the skull scepter with a loud bang.
Crack!
The skull scepter shattered instantly.
“Who is it?”
Old Man Fu’s expression darkened as he shouted.
“No bullying Mother.”
From afar, two angry, childish voices were heard.
