Chapter 217: Chapter 156, 3rd Life: What, do you also want to die?_2
But Lu Yuan’s expression remained unchanged, never once glancing at these people from beginning to end.
Only to see his divine thought sweep past.
Those Royal Family strong ones fell from mid-air like dumplings, collapsing directly to the ground, unconscious.
Not only that.
An invisible domain centered around Lu Yuan, enveloping the entire hall, instantly isolating all external connections and prying!
"Cutting space, creating a world of its own, this is the method of a Manifested Saint strong person!"
The officials’ scalps tingled, all feeling a sense of impending doom.
"Are you the Spirit Emperor?"
Lu Yuan lifted his gaze to the man standing in front of the dragon throne, speaking in a cold tone.
"Entering the palace without being summoned, what exactly do you intend to do?"
Facing Lu Yuan’s eyes filled with murderous intent, the Spirit Emperor’s heart trembled in fear, instinctively lowering his head, not daring to meet his gaze.
But realizing this, he became angry and embarrassed, forcefully lifting his head to face Lu Yuan.
He was the current Emperor, noble and supreme, how could he be intimidated by a mere commoner?
"I am the Human Emperor, I shall rectify chaos and end the Demon Martial chaotic world!"
Lu Yuan, too lazy for words, reached out and grabbed him, clutching him in his hand.
Under the horrified and desperate gazes of the entire court of civil and military officials.
The always pampered, dignified Spirit Emperor, was now like a small chicken, being lifted by the neck in Lu Yuan’s grip.
His face flushed red, limbs struggling desperately, yet Lu Yuan’s right hand remained like an iron clamp, unshakable despite the Spirit Emperor’s struggles!
Then Lu Yuan stared icily at the Spirit Emperor, speaking word by word.
"If the Emperor breaks the law, he bears the same guilt as a commoner; the current Spirit Emperor is muddle-headed and unrighteous, leading to the people living in misery and should be executed by dismemberment as a warning to others."
"You dare!"
The Spirit Emperor’s eyes bulged, straining every muscle to squeeze out these two words from his throat.
Since ascending to the throne, all court officials had been trembling and respectful in front of him.
This was the first time someone dared to speak to him this way!
"Boom!"
At this moment.
From the depths of the Imperial Palace, an aura burst forth, its terrifying pressure shaking the heavens and affecting even Lu Yuan’s domain!
Sensing this ocean-like vast aura, all the high-ranking officials’ expressions changed drastically, followed by expressions of ecstatic joy.
No one had expected.
That the National Guardian Martial Saint of the Great Spirit Dynasty had quietly stepped into the Ninth Grade Celestial Human Realm!
"Great! The National Guardian Martial Saint has emerged, this fiend is doomed!"
A gleam of delight also flashed in the Spirit Emperor’s eyes.
In this era where the Immortal Path was severed, a Ninth Grade Celestial Human strong person was already considered the strongest of the age.
Sufficient to turn the tide, suppressing all minor and treacherous officials and rebellious ministers!
But before the Spirit Emperor could feel elated, Lu Yuan looked towards the direction of the National Guardian Martial Saint and spoke indifferently: "What, do you also wish to die?"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Over a hundred Undying Bones materialized from the void, appearing instantly within the great hall.
Among them were fifteen robust Undying Bones, eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty light.
Each possessed strength comparable to Ninth Grade Celestial Human strong persons!
"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand, the Great Spirit Dynasty’s fortunes have come to an end, I just came out for some fresh air."
After saying this.
The overwhelming aura instantly ceased, returning to silence.
"Even the National Guardian Martial Saint has retreated?"
Witnessing this scene, the Spirit Emperor’s face turned ashen, heart sinking into an abyss, unable to accept this harsh reality for a long time.
"Take him out, execute by dismemberment in the street, and if anyone obstructs, kill them!"
Lu Yuan, too lazy for further words, casually tossed the Spirit Emperor behind him to the Undying Bones as if discarding trash.
Under the complex gazes of the many ministers, five Undying Bones dragged the Spirit Emperor, as feeble as a dead dog, out of the hall.
Then Lu Yuan ascended the hall step by step, gazing down sharply like a blade, sweeping over each civil and military official present.
With the talent [Acting on behalf of Heaven], he could easily see everyone’s life deeds.
Ensuring not even one good person is wronged, nor any bad person is let go.
Under Lu Yuan’s scrutiny.
The crimes of all the corrupt officials were fully exposed.
"Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Zhang Bin, engaging in partisan favoritism, corrupting the court discipline, neglecting the well-being of the people, repeatedly embezzling disaster relief funds."
"Supposed to enjoy the tranquility of old age, yet he secretly indulges in male beauty, keeping over a hundred male servants for pleasure..."
Lu Yuan frowned slightly, a glimmer of disgust flashing in his eyes.
"Bang!"
The elderly man with graying hair exploded into a mist of blood, splattering everyone around.
[You have slain a person deeply steeped in sin, gaining thirty million Heavenly Repair Points!]
"Merely a Fifth Grade Innate Martial Cultivator, yet the Heavenly Repair Points contributed are comparable to that of an Eighth Grade Manifested Saint Strong Person; truly a virtuous minister of the Great Spirit Dynasty."
Lu Yuan’s lips curled into a mocking smile.
"Did Minister Zhang just die like that?"
The others wiped the blood from their faces, trembling all over.
They were all high-ranking officials of the Imperial Court, each with immense power and noble status, capable of deciding the fate and life and death of millions with a mere gesture.
But at this moment, in their eyes, Lu Yuan was like King Yama who oversees the Book of Life and Death, pronouncing a name every year, and someone would perish accordingly.
In the end, out of hundreds of ministers, only a dozen remained standing trembling in the blood-stained great hall, almost scared out of their wits!
However, Lu Yuan also understood that although the Great Spirit Dynasty was hopelessly corrupt, there still needed to be people to handle affairs.
If he acted on impulse and slaughtered the entire court, the ensuing chaos would only lead to more innocent civilians dying in vain.
Therefore, Lu Yuan left behind a few relatively clean ministers, assigning them the responsibility of revitalizing the government and maintaining order.
Half a day later.
A prompt from the Will of the Heavens echoed in Lu Yuan’s ear once again.
[You have executed the foolish emperor of the Great Spirit, gaining one billion Heavenly Repair Points!]
Lu Yuan was silent upon hearing these words.
What is the concept of one billion Heavenly Repair Points?
At the beginning, after expending countless efforts, he barely managed to kill the Demon God Ancestor and only earned eighty million Heavenly Repair Points.
But from one Spirit Emperor alone, Lu Yuan received one billion Heavenly Repair Points, highlighting the depth of his sins!
"It seems I have been too merciful,"
Lu Yuan shook his head, turning his gaze to the Spirit Emperor’s offspring and the harem concubines.
These people were colluding together, hardly any among them were clean.
Not long after.
Lu Yuan walked out of the Imperial City with his blade, once again harvesting tens of billions of Heavenly Repair Points.
Wasn’t this easier than tirelessly slaying demons? NovelBin.
As for Princess Lingyao, with whom he had once crossed paths, she had already been forcibly sent to the Celestial Wolf Race by the Spirit Emperor for a political marriage a few days ago.
Reportedly, she would soon be wed to the Young Master of the Celestial Wolf Race.
Lu Yuan was not significantly affected by this and decided to set the matter aside for now.
Moving on.
He, under the title of Human Emperor, wielded the Celestial Mandate, patrolling the realm.
Under his orders,
the Demon Suppression Bureau temporarily put all affairs aside, tasked with opening granaries for disaster relief and providing aid to the victims.
At the same time,
the Demon Suppression Bureau was also excavating talented and capable individuals from various regions to supplement the Imperial Court with a fresh influx of blood.
After Lu Yuan’s extensive reforms,
the Great Spirit Dynasty began to revive from ruin, and things finally started to take a turn for the better.
Peace within must precede defense against threats outside.
Once the internal situation of the Human Race was temporarily stabilized, Lu Yuan set out again, deciding to go to the Celestial Wolf Cave Heaven to eradicate this malignant tumor of the Alien Race once and for all.
According to the information provided by the Demon Suppression Bureau, the alien beings that descended to the Lower Realm this time were all from the ultimate prodigies of the Ten Thousand Demon Realm.
And the Guardians by their side possessed at least Ninth Grade Celestial Human Perfection strength.
Even among them, there were several Half-Step True Immortal strong individuals.
Lu Yuan had crossed paths with past Human Emperors and knew well the terrifying power of True Immortal strong persons.
Even a Half-Step True Immortal could suppress all beings in this realm!
And although his Undying Bone possessed formidable strength, comparable to a Ninth Grade Celestial Human Strong Person, it was still just a slightly stronger ant in front of a Half-Step True Immortal.
Lu Yuan did not overestimate himself.
He directly spent one hundred billion Heavenly Repair Points to elevate an Undying Bone to the Immortal Corpse realm.
A white light flashed.
The Undying Bone, as if stimulated by some force, let out an earth-shattering roar, undergoing a dramatic transformation all over!
Its power surged, bones cracking with a snapping sound like exploding beans.
Finally, its aura soared to a new peak, breaking through a certain critical point, stepping into a wholly new realm!
