686: Identity exposed, turmoil begins.

"Yang Lingchen, just you wait. I will refine you into a Zombie Puppet to avenge today's humiliation."

Shen Tutu's furious roar echoed, and then his figure transformed into a blood-red shadow, disappearing into the sky.

"Fuck, I was still recognized by that thing."

Yang Lingchen's expression was extremely grim. He thought he had hidden himself very well, but he didn't expect to be exposed.

However, this was also understandable, because in this Gods Star Domain, there was truly no one else besides him who could possess such Combat Power at the first level of the Heavenly Dao Ultimate Realm.

Nevertheless, Yang Lingchen was fearless. After these two massacres, his cultivation level had reached the limit of the Early Stage of the Heavenly Dao Ultimate Realm. He was only one opportunity away from making a Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of the Heavenly Dao Ultimate Realm.

Once he made a Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of the Heavenly Dao Ultimate Realm, Yang Lingchen's strength would greatly increase. By then, even when facing a Great Perfection powerhouse of the Heavenly Dao Ultimate Realm, he would have the power to fight.

Although the Early Stage of the Heavenly Dao Ultimate Realm and the Middle Stage of the Heavenly Dao Ultimate Realm are only small Realm differences, the gap in strength between them is like heaven and earth.

Once cultivation level reaches the Middle Stage of the Heavenly Dao Ultimate Realm, the comprehension of the Law of the Heavenly Dao has reached a completely new Realm, capable of flying tens of thousands of kilometers in an instant.

When cultivation level reaches the Peak of the Heavenly Dao Extreme Realm, Lifespan will increase to 50 million years, and one can traverse various Star Domains with just their Physical Body.

And when cultivation level reaches the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Dao Extreme Realm, one is already an invincible existence in the entire Realm of the Gods, and their Lifespan will also increase to 80 million years.

After destroying the Corpse Ghost Sect, Yang Lingchen directly plundered it clean, and collected all the Yin Souls and Zombie Puppets into the yellow springs diagram.

With these Zombie Puppets and Yin Souls, Yang Lingchen felt much more secure. After all, what he was about to face would be a tough battle.

Now that his identity was known by Shen Tutu, it was estimated that it would soon be completely exposed. By then, he might attract the encirclement and suppression of the entire Realm of the Gods.

At the same time, the news of the Corpse Ghost Sect's destruction spread throughout the entire Realm of the Gods immediately. For a time, everyone applauded, after all, the Corpse Ghost Sect committed evil deeds, and its reputation in the Gods Star Domain was too poor.

Less than a moment after this news spread, an even more explosive piece of news burst forth.

"Have you heard? Yaochi Divine Dynasty's Commander Tianchen is actually Yang Lingchen."

"What? Is that true or false?"

"It should be true. It is said that this news was personally released by Shen Tutu. And think about it, in the Realm of the Gods, who else could possess such strength in the Early Stage of the Heavenly Dao Ultimate Realm besides Yang Lingchen? Moreover, Yang Lingchen also plundered the Corpse Ghost Sect some time ago."

"According to what you say, it should be true. But how did Yang Lingchen get involved with the Yaochi Divine Dynasty?"

"I heard a rumor that Commander Tianchen was personally conferred by the Yaochi Empress. Do you think they might have something going on?"

"Who knows? But I heard that this kid Yang Lingchen looks like a pretty boy, and even the two Young Alliance Masters of the Heavenly Dao Alliance were so captivated by him. It's not impossible for the Yaochi Empress to have something going on with him."

"Alas! Being handsome truly allows one to do whatever they want!"

For a time, the legend of Yang Lingchen was circulating throughout the entire Realm of the Gods.

After dealing with the Corpse Ghost Sect, Yang Lingchen returned to the Yaochi Divine Dynasty with everyone.

Upon returning to the Yaochi Divine Dynasty, Yang Lingchen immediately entered a secluded cultivation mode. After this period of slaughter, he felt that he had reached the verge of Breakthrough.

At this moment, he sat cross-legged, operating the Vast Heaven Art Cultivation Technique, frantically absorbing the Spiritual Qi within the haotian jade space.

As streams of pure Spiritual Qi entered his body, Yang Lingchen's meridians continuously grew stronger, and at the same time, his whole body was enveloped in a profound light.

Yang Lingchen's brows were tightly furrowed, and sweat beads the size of soybeans gradually appeared on his face. At this moment, he had reached the critical moment of Breakthrough. If he succeeded, he would enter the Middle Stage of the Heavenly Dao Ultimate Realm; if he failed, he wouldn't be able to make another Breakthrough within a hundred years.

As time continued to pass, Yang Lingchen's body gradually became ethereal, as if it had melted into the air. Suddenly, Yang Lingchen's body violently shook, and a terrifying energy erupted from within him, instantly shattering his clothes. A pained expression also appeared on his face; it was clear he had reached the most crucial moment of Breakthrough.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen gritted his teeth. He activated all the Divine Origin Power within his body, then frantically charged towards the Middle Stage of the Heavenly Dao Ultimate Realm.

"Boom... boom... boom...!"

"Middle Stage of the Heavenly Dao Ultimate Realm."

At this moment, Yang Lingchen's cultivation level finally made a Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of the Heavenly Dao Ultimate Realm.

After the Breakthrough, he felt that the Divine Origin Power within his body had instantly undergone a qualitative leap. His originally tall and straight physique became even more resilient, and his sharp eyes became even more profound.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen felt his entire body filled with energy. If he were to face Di Wuye now, he would have enough confidence to defeat him.

Of course, Yang Lingchen also knew that while he was improving, Di Wuye would not stand still waiting for him to catch up. Therefore, to defeat Di Wuye, there was still a long way to go.

At this very moment, the entire Gods Star Domain was in an uproar, with countless forces turning their attention to the Yaochi Divine Dynasty. Especially the Di Mo Palace and Huangji Dao Sect, these two great forces had already begun deploying troops, preparing to attack the Yaochi Divine Dynasty in one fell swoop and capture Yang Lingchen.

In everyone's opinion, the Yaochi Divine Dynasty could not protect Yang Lingchen.

After all, among the top ten Peak forces, the Yaochi Divine Dynasty only ranked fifth, while the Huangji Dao Sect and the Di Mo Palace ranked third and fourth respectively.

It should be noted that in the Realm of the Gods, although there are ten Peak forces, there are only Four Great Super Factions: Zixiao Palace, Haotian Immortal Palace, Huangji Dao Sect, and Di Mo Palace.

These Four Great Super Factions hold absolute power in the Realm of the Gods. Compared to these four, the other six Peak forces are clearly inferior.

At the same time, except for the Zixiao Palace, the other Three Great Super Factions all released news to the outside world, stating that if the Yaochi Divine Dynasty handed over Yang Lingchen, they would let bygones be bygones and no longer make things difficult for the Yaochi Divine Dynasty.

Among them, the Huangji Dao Sect and the Di Mo Palace even offered tempting conditions: if the Yaochi Divine Dynasty handed Yang Lingchen over to them, they would not only form an alliance with the Yaochi Divine Dynasty but even offer a large amount of resources in exchange for Yang Lingchen.

Yaochi Divine Dynasty, in the imperial court.

Xiao Qingxue, dressed in a luxurious imperial robe, sat on the imperial throne, her beautiful eyes revealing a hint of arrogance as she gazed at the ministers of the Yaochi Divine Dynasty.

"I imagine you have already heard that Commander Tianchen is indeed Yang Lingchen, and I also know that some of you advocate for handing him over."

Xiao Qingxue's eyes flashed with a hint of sternness as she said, "Today, I will tell you personally: I will not hand over Yang Lingchen, because he is my man."

As Xiao Qingxue's words fell, all the ministers present showed shocked expressions.

All this time, in everyone's hearts, Her Majesty the Empress was an existence like a god. No one expected that Yang Lingchen was actually Her Majesty the Empress's man.

"Your Majesty, whether he is Commander Tianchen or Yang Lingchen, this old man recognizes him, so this old man absolutely does not agree to hand him over," Su Qingxuan said.

As an elder figure of the Yaochi Divine Dynasty, Su Qingxuan's words still carried significant weight in the Yaochi Divine Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, your Subordinate also agrees with Elder Su's opinion. Commander Tianchen's talent is outstanding and his brilliance is exceptional. He will surely lead our Yaochi Divine Dynasty to the Peak in the future. We vow to defend Commander Tianchen to the death and will never allow anyone to hand him over."

Huo Jiankun, the Grand General who led expeditions abroad, stepped forward. After spending this time together, he was completely convinced by Yang Lingchen's talent and wisdom, so he naturally did not agree to hand over Yang Lingchen. Moreover, Yang Lingchen was also Her Majesty's man.

"Your Majesty, we also do not agree to hand over Commander Tianchen."

Many generals who had fought alongside Yang Lingchen stepped forward.

And the officials who were originally preparing to advocate for handing over Yang Lingchen now fell silent.

After all, Yang Lingchen was Her Majesty the Empress's man. If they were to still advocate for handing over Yang Lingchen, how would that be any different from seeking death?
