Chapter 553 551: This Monarch Is Not in His Right Mind

Luo Tian gently poked a hole in the Purple Thunder Light Shield!

It was as if that single finger had stabbed into the hearts of the four Earth Element Realm experts, making their pulses race and their faces fill with terror!

"Impossible! This is the National Treasure left by the founding Monarch!"

The Dark Thunder Celestial King was in disbelief!

He reckoned that if he were trapped inside the Purple Thunder Light Shield, he wouldn't last five breaths before being reduced to ashes!

The powerhouses from neighboring kingdoms were all extremely wary of this National Treasure from the Qiu Yue Kingdom!

But how was it that when it came to Luo Tian, this National Treasure was completely ineffective? It broke with a single poke.

When the Qiu Yue Monarch saw this, he was so frightened he nearly cried out.

It was simply too shocking.

"Kill him! Quickly!"

The Qiu Yue Monarch roared, his voice fierce but his heart trembling.

BZZZT!

The four Earth Element Realm experts poured all their True Essence into the fractured Ancient Stones in their hands!

The fractured Ancient Stones blazed with a dazzling thunderous light. The pillar of purple lightning grew denser and heavier, emanating a terrifying aura capable of annihilating all creation!

The Purple Thunder Light Shield around Luo Tian doubled in thickness, and the hole was repaired in an instant.

The four Earth Element Realm experts were activating their trump card regardless of the cost. Their True Essence and life force were being rapidly drained, and their faces paled several shades.

The Qiu Yue Kingdom was solemn, united as one, striking with all its might!

But Luo Tian's expression didn't waver in the slightest. He raised his hand again and gave a gentle poke.

POP!

Another hole appeared.

"What?"

The four Earth Element Realm experts stood dumbfounded, their faces masks of horror!

They looked down at the black Ancient Stones in their hands, wondering if the stones had been stored for too long and had gone bad.

"Patch it!"

The withered old man shouted!

The four Earth Element Realm experts manipulated the black, fractured Ancient Stones.

BZZZT!

The Purple Thunder Light Shield was whole again.

But immediately after, Luo Tian poked it again, and another hole appeared!

The four Earth Element Realm experts looked at each other, on the verge of a breakdown!

Luo Tian's strength was far more terrifying than they had anticipated; he could easily poke through the Purple Thunder Light Shield!

But things had already come to this. A peaceful resolution was impossible.

They could only continue to repair it!

Every time they repaired it, Luo Tian would poke a hole. This repeated over and over in a vicious cycle!

From beginning to end, Luo Tian had only moved a finger.

But the four Earth Element Realm experts of the Qiu Yue Kingdom had expended immense True Essence and life force. They all looked a size smaller and much paler, as if malnourished.

At the same time, their psyches were being constantly battered, and they were starting to break down.

"Is that all you've got? This is no fun at all!"

Luo Tian suddenly spoke, a look of complete boredom on his face.

He waved his palm!

CRASH!

The entire Purple Thunder Light Shield was ripped wide open before shattering and dissipating!

At the same time, four explosions echoed from the fractured Ancient Stones in the hands of Qiu Yue Kingdom's four Earth Element Realm experts!

SPURT! SPURT!

The four Earth Element Realm experts suffered a severe backlash, spitting blood in unison as their faces turned deathly pale.

The Dark Thunder Celestial King, who originally had dark skin, now looked pale and extremely old.

As for the already ancient, withered old man, he was now nothing but skin and bones, his eyes sunken, a faint aura of death even beginning to emanate from his body!

As the four Earth Element Realm experts suffered their backlash, a dead silence fell over the area!

The Qiu Yue Kingdom, which had been so imposing just moments ago, suddenly wilted.

The Qiu Yue Monarch spoke awkwardly, "Luo, about that assassin earlier, I was just speaking in a moment of anger. It has nothing to do with our Qiu Yue Kingdom."

"As a Monarch myself, I also deeply abhor the assassination of a Monarch. The Qiu Yue Kingdom is willing to help the Azure Cloud Kingdom investigate this matter!"

The Qiu Yue Monarch said with magnanimous righteousness.

"No need! I've already investigated it thoroughly."

Luo Tian said slowly.

The forced smile on the Qiu Yue Monarch's face vanished instantly, replaced by a vicious expression.

"Luo Tian, a wise man submits to the circumstances. The times have changed. It's time for the master of the Dongchen Continent to change as well."

"If you remain stubborn, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"

The Qiu Yue Monarch shouted.

He believed that since Luo Tian was a disciple of the Yunxiao Sect, he must be well aware of the current situation on the Continent.

In reality, Luo Tian knew nothing.

He was very displeased by the Qiu Yue Monarch's words.

SHING!

Luo Tian pointed a finger, and a beam of Wind Sword Qi shot through the air, piercing the Qiu Yue Monarch's forehead!

"How dare you... kill me..."

The Qiu Yue Monarch collapsed into a pool of blood.

The many powerful experts and Guards nearby had no time to save the Qiu Yue Monarch.

They had a clear understanding of Luo Tian's power!

Daring to come to the Qiu Yue Kingdom alone wasn't arrogance or ignorance; it was because he didn't need to fear anything.

As long as Luo Tian wished it, he could kill the Qiu Yue Monarch at any moment.

"This Monarch seemed a bit delirious. The Qiu Yue Kingdom needs a new master."

Luo Tian said flatly.

The withered old man, the Dark Thunder Celestial King, and the other Earth Element experts lowered their heads slightly, their faces bitter.

"Thank you for your intervention, Lord Luo. The Qiu Yue Kingdom does indeed need a new master."

The withered old man agreed with a nod.

No matter what, the Qiu Yue Kingdom was powerless against Luo Tian now. They could only compromise and endure the humiliation.

Whatever Luo Tian said, went.

Several Princes and the Crown Prince were present.

Seeing the Qiu Yue Monarch killed on the spot, they grew excited, thinking they might now have a chance to ascend the throne and rule Qiu Yue!

"You really should thank me, because I've already decided who the new master of the Qiu Yue Kingdom will be!"

Luo Tian continued.

The Princes and the Crown Prince stared eagerly at Luo Tian, each hoping he would say their name.

"What about Li Yunxiu?"

Luo Tian's gaze swept over everyone below.

The faces of the Princes and the Crown Prince all froze!

This was no longer a simple matter of changing masters. This was about erasing the Qiu Yue Kingdom and making it a part of the Azure Cloud Kingdom!

The Crown Prince's face was filled with indignation!

'I should be the heir to the throne!'

SHING!

The next moment, a deadly crisis descended. The Crown Prince felt a chill on his neck and collapsed to the ground!

When it came to the Qiu Yue Kingdom, Luo Tian couldn't be bothered to waste words.

Anyone who questioned, anyone who defied—kill them!

"Lord Luo is right! I also think Li Yunxiu would be a very suitable master for the Qiu Yue Kingdom."

A Prince trembled, fawning obsequiously.

"Yes, Li Yunxiu is a capable ruler. Under her management, the Qiu Yue Kingdom will surely become even more prosperous."

Once the first person spoke, a second and a third followed.

Many high-ranking members of the Royal Family spoke out in agreement.

"What about you four?"

Luo Tian looked at the four Earth Element Realm experts.

"I agree with Lord Luo's idea!"

The withered old man sighed, having no choice but to agree.

"I also agree!"

The second Earth Element Realm expert spoke.

The third Earth Element Realm expert nodded helplessly.

Finally, the Dark Thunder Celestial King said, "I agree as well."

"Dark Thunder Celestial King, your voice was too quiet, I didn't hear you clearly. It sounded like you said you disagreed," Luo Tian said.

SHING!

A chilling gust rose from the void, coalescing into a sharp, condensed Sword Wind that sliced through the air at high speed!

The Dark Thunder Celestial King was dumbfounded!

'But I clearly said I agreed!'

However, he had long expected Luo Tian to make things difficult for him and had even taken precautions.

After all, he had personally tried to hunt down Luo Tian back then and had nearly succeeded!

But even with his precautions, when Luo Tian's Attack descended, the Dark Thunder Celestial King found it was all useless.

The Dark Thunder Celestial King could only watch helplessly as his head separated from his body. His vision went black, and he died completely!

The Dark Thunder Celestial King's sudden death stunned everyone once again!

They also came to the profound realization that Luo Tian was a person who always took revenge!

"Alright, now all of you go to the Azure Cloud Kingdom and ask Li Yunxiu to help manage the Qiu Yue Kingdom."

Luo Tian waved his hand.

The upper echelon of the Qiu Yue Kingdom was dumbfounded. They felt this was too humiliating.

However, since Luo Tian had said it, they could only do it.

And so, all the members of the Royal Family present set off for the Azure Cloud Kingdom.

「Ten days later.」

「At the border of the Qiu Yue Kingdom.」

A scout burst into a military tent, dropped to one knee, and hastily said, "General, the Second Prince, the Third Prince, the Ninth Princess, Prince Hai, the Supreme Elder..."

The scout rattled off at least thirty or forty names in one breath before gasping for air.

The whiskered giant was a bit stunned. He even wondered if the scout had been kicked in the head by a donkey and had suddenly started spouting nonsense.

SWOOSH!

The whiskered giant left the tent and flew into the air. He immediately saw a large group of high-ranking royals heading his way.

"Holy shit! What's going on?"

The whiskered giant was even more bewildered.

'Could it be? Because I let Luo Tian go back then, the royal higher-ups are dissatisfied and have come to settle the score with me?'

'But even if they're here to settle scores, there's no need for such a massive entourage, right? This is terrifying.'

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

All the high-ranking officers in the military camp rushed out and knelt before the royal delegation, trembling with fear and apprehension.

"I had no choice back then, I couldn't stop Luo Tian at all..."

"It was my failure of duty! I am willing to accept my punishment!"

The whiskered giant knelt on the ground, sincerely admitting his fault.

"Cut the crap and get out of the way! Don't delay our trip to the Azure Cloud Kingdom to request an audience with Li Yunxiu!"

The Second Prince shouted impatiently.

"Huh?"

The whiskered giant's head was filled with question marks.

"Request an audience with Li Yunxiu? Why is that?"

He asked boldly.

"To ask her to come and manage the Qiu Yue Kingdom! Now move!"

The National Preceptor said, his expression anxious and flustered.

"..."

Even more question marks popped up in the whiskered giant's head. 'Have I not woken up yet? Am I dreaming?'

Only in a dream could such an absurd scene and such a bizarre conversation occur.
