274: Recognize Yang Lingchen as father

At this moment, Yan Daotian, who was fighting Yang Lingchen, also noticed Yan Gucheng's situation.

"bitch, you're looking for death!"

Yan Daotian roared, his voice filled with fury and killing intent; his eyes looked as if they were about to spit fire.

With a flash of his body, he instantly charged toward She Xianger, his speed as fast as lightning, kicking up a gale.

"Old thing, you dare to have a Divided Soul while fighting me?" Yang Lingchen snorted coldly and quickly unleashed a Soul Devouring Slash. The Soul Devouring Slash turned into a beam of black light, charging straight toward Yan Daotian's Sea of Consciousness.

Simultaneously, Yang Lingchen swung the black cauldron and smashed it toward Yan Daotian. The black cauldron drew an arc in the air, carrying powerful force and Aura.

However, the Soul Devouring Slash crashing into Yan Daotian's Sea of Consciousness was like throwing a stone into the ocean; it failed to stir even the slightest ripple.

After all, Yan Daotian's cultivation level was far higher than Yang Lingchen's, so he reacted instantly. His powerful Mental Energy neutralized the power of the Soul Devouring Slash into nothingness in a split second.

Facing Yang Lingchen's black cauldron, he directly threw out a violent Fist Aura.

That Fist Aura carried terrifying power, as if it could destroy everything.

"Rumble...! Rumble...!"

Following a series of violent roars, the collision of powerful forces generated a massive shockwave.

Yang Lingchen was knocked back over a hundred meters. His arm was shaken numb, and his chest felt a surge of roiling blood and Qi.

Upon landing, Yang Lingchen did not hesitate to swallow a bao yuan pill, then charged toward Yan Daotian once again.

The moment he took the bao yuan pill, Yang Lingchen's cultivation level instantly rose by two minor Realms, reaching the first level of the God Emperor Realm.

At this moment, his Aura instantly became incredibly powerful, and a strong pressure emanated from his entire body.

"Old man, go to hell for me!"

In mid-air, Yang Lingchen brandished the God Slaying Sword Technique, and a strand of Wusheng Sword Qi, carrying an Aura of total annihilation, slashed toward Yan Daotian.

That Sword Qi was sharp beyond compare, as if it could tear through space, giving one a spine-chilling feeling.

"How can this Little Bastard's sword technique be so terrifying?"

A flash of terror crossed Yan Daotian's eyes. He had never seen such a powerful sword technique. He hurriedly summoned what appeared to be an Emperor Weapon to block in front of him.

The Emperor Weapon emitted a dazzling light, forming a solid defense.

"A mantis trying to stop a carriage—die!"

Yang Lingchen shouted coldly, his voice filled with determination and confidence.

Swish...!

The Wusheng Sword Qi, carrying an Aura of primordial annihilation, instantly engulfed Yan Daotian.

That powerful Sword Qi directly pierced through Yan Daotian's defense, completely pulverizing his body. The Sword Qi was like a passing meteor; Yan Daotian was nowhere to be seen, leaving behind only a pile of blood and mangled flesh.

"The Old Ancestor is dead!"

Someone shouted, and suddenly the entire allied army of the Firmament Sacred Land collapsed like a body that had lost its spine.

Their morale plummeted to freezing point, and they instantly fell into panic and chaos.

"Kill... kill...! Kill them all!"

On the side of the Haoyue Demon Palace and the Tianfeng Holy Dynasty, morale surged. One by one, as if injected with chicken blood, they frantically charged toward the allied forces of the Firmament Sacred Land.

The shouts of battle shook the heavens and earth. They were like tigers descending from the mountains, unstoppable. The scene instantly became a river of blood.

Yang Lingchen did not stay idle either. He remained at the very front of the battle line, like a God of War. Wherever he went, enemies fell one after another.

Under his continuous slaughter, the high-level officials of the Firmament Sacred Land's allied forces were soon completely wiped out.

Yang Lingchen's sword technique was sharp and fierce, every move carrying lethal power that struck fear into hearts.

"Don't, Mother, don't kill us, we beg you! We are willing to recognize Yang Lingchen as our father!" The two brothers, Yan Tiannan and Yan Tiandu, were so terrified they knelt directly on the ground.

Their faces were pale, their bodies trembled uncontrollably, and their eyes were filled with fear and despair.

Swish... Swish...!

"Go in peace! In your next life, make sure never to offend the Master again." After She Xianger spoke, she finished off Yan Tiannan and Yan Tiandu with two sword strikes.

Her eyes were cold, without a hint of pity.

On the other side, under Yang Lingchen's slaughter, the allied forces of the three major Sects were completely wiped out.

Blood flowed like a river on the battlefield, and corpses were strewn everywhere—a scene of utter devastation.

Yang Lingchen collected all the storage rings of the high-level officials from these three major Sects.

To Yang Lingchen's regret, he never found any sign of Vice Dean in the Firmament Sacred Land.

Yang Lingchen captured the Black Eagle who had destroyed the Great Yan Academy back then. After round after round of torture, the other party finally confessed.

It turned out that when they were destroying the Great Yan Academy, a Black-Clothed Masked Man suddenly appeared and took Vice Dean away directly.

Afterward, Yang Lingchen told Ye Wushuang about this.

"Senior Sister Wushuang, Grandpa Dean will definitely be fine, and I will surely find him," Yang Lingchen comforted her, his eyes firm and his tone sincere.

"Mhm... mhm, Grandpa will definitely be fine," Ye Wushuang murmured. Her eyes gradually grew moist, and a look of worry appeared on her face.

Her hands were tightly clenched together as she silently prayed for her grandfather's safety.

After the battle ended.

The high-level officials of the Haoyue Demon Palace and the Tianfeng Holy Dynasty gathered together.

"Senior Su, in today's Tianfeng World, only our two top powers remain. Being able to smoothly wipe out these three major Sects this time is all thanks to the strong assistance of the Tianfeng Holy Dynasty," Yang Lingchen said with a grateful expression.

Yang Lingchen continued, "As for the territory of these three Sects, my Haoyue Demon Palace only wants the Firmament Sacred Land. As for the Carefree Palace and the Demon Emperor Palace, they will be handed over to the Tianfeng Holy Dynasty to manage in the future. What do you think?"

Yang Lingchen's gaze was sincere as he waited for Su Batian's response.

"Little friend Yang, this old man never gets involved in affairs. Currently, the Holy Dynasty is managed by Meier; you can just discuss it with her." Su Batian laughed heartily, then added, "However, this old man has a suggestion, though I don't know if I should say it."

"Senior Su, please speak," Yang Lingchen said, his expression focused.

"Now that the grand situation of the Tianfeng World is settled, this old man feels that little friend Yang should take this opportunity to unify Tianfeng and become the Co-Lord of the World."

Su Batian spoke, his tone firm, as if this were an inevitable matter.

"Co-Lord of the World?" Yang Lingchen said deeply, his brow furrowing slightly as he seemed to contemplate something.

"Exactly!" Su Batian continued, "With little friend Yang's current strength and prestige, being the Co-Lord of the World is more than enough."

His gaze was filled with admiration and expectation for Yang Lingchen.

"Senior, this Junior has no time to be the Co-Lord of the World." Yang Lingchen shook his head quickly, his gaze resolute. What he pursued was eternal life and the Peak of cultivation; he truly had no interest in the position of hegemon of the Tianfeng World.

"You don't have time to manage it, but your women can manage it for you. Meier can also help you manage it, and even your future children or Family can help you manage it."

"You only need to serve as a deterrent. Furthermore, the various Intermediate and lower-level forces will remain as before; you don't need to specifically manage them. These forces all have their own modes of operation," Su Batian said.

Su Batian could still see the relationship between Wu Meier and Yang Lingchen.

However, he was quite open-minded about it. After all, Yang Lingchen's current strength could already be considered number one in the Tianfeng World. Rather than offending such a powerhouse, it was better to go with the flow and do him a favor. Besides, his grandson Emperor Su Ying was already dead; he couldn't let Wu Meier remain a widow for the rest of her life.

"Cough... cough!" Yang Lingchen coughed lightly and said, "Meier, what do you think?" Since Su Batian had already seen through his relationship with Wu Meier, he didn't plan on hiding it anymore.

Furthermore, Yang Lingchen had once promised Wu Meier that one day he would make her the Empress of the Tianfeng World.
