The Tiandou Empire Welcomes a New Stone Emperor; Fairy Yuechan Seemed to See That Person (Please Subscribe)

The useless Yu Xiaogang collapsed facedown on the ground, his face pale as paper. Cold sweat streamed down his forehead, mixing with the dust on the ground and forming a miserable gray smear.

His mouth hung wide open as though he were shouting something, but only an unceasing flow of old blood poured out, staining his collar and the ground beneath him red.

Yu Xiaogang's tongue involuntarily lolled out. Overwhelmed by extreme pain and shock, it trembled outside his mouth, like an injured old dog panting beneath the blazing sun.

His eyes were wide with terror of the unknown.

Liu Erlong lay helplessly beside Yu Xiaogang, and she was in no better condition. She clutched her chest tightly, her black leather outfit soaked through with sweat and clinging to her body, outlining her graceful figure. Her long legs beneath the leather were curled tightly together, as though that could ease her pain. Her face was also covered in a mixture of dust and sweat, leaving her looking utterly disheveled.

The old bachelor Flender lay sprawled flat on the ground, his legs splayed apart in a disgusting posture. His face was likewise covered in dust and sweat, making him look utterly pathetic. His reading glasses had been completely shattered by that strike, the fragments scattered across his face and leaving several tiny cuts. He gasped for breath, as though struggling to draw in his final breaths.

All three stared in utter horror at Fairy Yuechan, who floated in the distant sky. Her skirts fluttered around her, and her face was incomparably beautiful, like a celestial fairy untouched by the mortal world.

Beneath her cool and detached aura lay an overwhelming pressure that made people afraid to meet her gaze. There was not the slightest emotional ripple in her eyes, as though she were looking at three ants making their final struggles.

That gaze filled the useless Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and the old bachelor Flender with inexplicable dread.

"Who exactly is that woman? Could she be that fake crown prince's helper?"

The useless Yu Xiaogang said, his old face trembling.

Liu Erlong bit her seductive red lips and said with her delicate body trembling, "Very likely."

Flender frowned as well. Looking at the woman's figure, he felt an immense pressure. "This woman is so powerful. What realm has she reached? I've never heard of Spirit Hall having such an expert, much less one so young."

The useless Yu Xiaogang shook his head. His face was pale, and his eyes revealed profound helplessness as he slowly said, "I heard long ago that within Spirit Hall, there is a legendary Worship Hall that stands above even the Papal Hall. Every worshiper in that Worship Hall possesses strength no weaker than a Super Douluo. This woman must be one of those worshipers."

Flender's heart sank at those words. He knew full well how powerful and mysterious the Worship Hall was. It was Spirit Hall's most elite force. If this woman truly was an expert from the Worship Hall, then their situation was even more dangerous.

"Then what do we do?" Flender asked anxiously. "We need Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo to come support us."

The useless Yu Xiaogang spat out another mouthful of old blood. His face became even paler, and his breathing grew more hurried. He said weakly, "That's the only option. With this woman's strength, only Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo can contend against her."

Fairy Yuechan gently withdrew the emerald-green longsword. It seemed to become one with her as it silently returned to her waist, like an emerald-green flute that perfectly complemented her slender figure.

Her waist was slim enough to fit in one hand, giving her an air of softness and resilience.

Fairy Yuechan floated quietly in the air, her long black hair fluttering gently in the wind, radiating a fresh and natural beauty.

Her gaze was distant as she looked toward the palace below. The palace was majestic and magnificent, its jade towers and jeweled halls carrying an ancient charm.

Fairy Yuechan lightly stretched out her hand. Her jade-like palm seemed to contain endless magic, and the barely alive Xue Ye was immediately pulled out by that invisible force and caught in her hand.

Although Xue Ye remained unconscious, he seemed to weigh almost nothing in her grasp.

Indeed, she had already intended to bring Xue Ye out earlier. But sensing that Shi Hao was in danger, she had immediately flown out of the hall and unleashed that astonishing sword strike.

Then, while holding Xue Ye in midair, Fairy Yuechan stepped down sharply. The air instantly trembled, rippling like the surface of water.

Her figure sped toward Shi Hao like a gust of wind. Her movement was light and elusive, as though she had merged with the breath of heaven and earth, making it impossible to grasp her true whereabouts. In an instant, only the afterimages of her flowing gauze dress and long hair remained in the air, along with that fresh yet mysterious aura.

In the blink of an eye, Fairy Yuechan arrived at Shi Hao's side.

Shi Hao still stood atop the eaves of the great hall outside the plaza. The wind made his white robes snap loudly, yet he stood firm as a stabilizing pillar.

Fairy Yuechan directly tossed the unconscious Xue Ye beside him. Her movement looked casual, yet it was incomparably precise.

Xue Ye's body traced an arc through the air and landed steadily at Shi Hao's feet.

"This is the person you wanted, right?"

Fairy Yuechan asked indifferently. Her voice was clear and distant, like a mountain stream gently tinkling. Her deep eyes seemed capable of seeing through human hearts and reaching the depths of the soul.

Shi Hao nodded and said with a faint smile, "That's right. Many thanks, Lady Yuechan." After a pause, anticipation flashed through his eyes as he asked, "By the way, did you bring my dragon robe?"

Fairy Yuechan glanced at Shi Hao, a trace of tenderness hidden in her eyes. She gently extended her hand, her fingers slender as jade. With her movement, the dragon robe she had taken from Xue Ye's bedchamber floated toward Shi Hao as though it possessed a spirit.

Shi Hao took the dragon robe and carefully put it on. It clung to his body as though it had been tailored for him. Once he had fully donned it, he seemed like a completely different person, radiating an indescribable aura of kingship.

He looked at Fairy Yuechan with a confident smile and asked, "Lady Yuechan, do I look handsome in this dragon robe? I'm about to become the new Stone Emperor."

Fairy Yuechan watched Shi Hao in the dragon robe. He looked imposing and majestic, yet he still retained the appearance of a refined young man. At that moment, an unusual feeling suddenly arose within her. It was as though she had seen this person before, or as though she had been destined to meet him—not in this Pocket World, but in the Desolate Domain beyond it.

Could he be that person's incarnation?

She steadied herself, concealing the turmoil in her heart. She deliberately turned away with a cold expression and said flatly, "So-so. It's acceptable." Though she tried to remain calm, the faint tremor in her voice still revealed the unrest in her heart.

As Shi Hao's magnificent and imposing dragon robe fluttered gently, and Fairy Yuechan silently stood beside him, the thousands upon thousands of Tiandou Empire soldiers holding weapons in the plaza all turned to look in their direction.

The two stood atop the eaves of a towering palace outside the plaza, a position visible to everyone in the square. Even Tang San, whose left leg hung limply as he raised his weak face, vaguely saw the youth wearing the dragon robe.

He felt that the youth's back looked somewhat familiar, but the distance was too great, and Tang San did not recognize him as Shi Hao.

Then, a sharp-eyed soldier suddenly spotted Xue Ye lowering his head beside Shi Hao. At once, many soldiers stopped in their tracks and cried out in alarm.

"What's going on? Why is His Majesty over there..." A soldier widened his eyes, nearly dropping the spear in his hand.

"Could His Majesty be planning to pass the throne to that kid?" another soldier guessed, but then immediately shook his head, feeling that the idea was far too absurd.

"But who exactly is that kid? And the woman beside him seems to be the mysterious woman who swung that sword earlier." The soldiers whispered among themselves, discussing it fervently.

As the soldiers caused a commotion, the useless Yu Xiaogang, who lay on the ground with his tongue hanging out, suddenly saw the scene as well.

His face instantly turned pale, his eyes filled with terror and fury. He struggled to rise, and though his weakened body left him barely able to stand, his dog-like eyes were wide open.

"Not good!" the useless Yu Xiaogang roared excitedly. "That man and that mysterious woman have actually kidnapped Xue Ye! That man even put on the dragon robe. He must be planning to threaten Xue Ye and force His Majesty to pass the throne to him! No, we have to stop him!"

As the useless Yu Xiaogang spoke, he spat out another mouthful of old blood. His face looked even worse, but the determination in his eyes did not weaken in the slightest.

Liu Erlong looked anxious and said helplessly, "But Xiaogang, all our Soul Power has already been exhausted. There's nothing we can do..."

Above that great hall, under everyone's watchful gaze, Shi Hao began to use the Soul Search Technique. This was also a basic spell taught to him by the Willow Deity, capable of invading another person's consciousness and controlling their thoughts.

After several attempts, his spiritual sense finally successfully entered Xue Ye's mind.

The originally unconscious Xue Ye suddenly opened his cloudy old eyes. His gaze was hollow and profound as he looked at the many soldiers in the plaza and spoke in an aged yet forceful voice:

"All soldiers, and all citizens of my Tiandou Empire, listen carefully. I, Xue Ye, know that my days are numbered and that I can no longer lead the Tiandou Empire toward glory. From today onward, I willingly pass the throne of the Tiandou Empire to this young man beside me. His name is Shi Hao. From this moment on, he is the new Stone Emperor of the Tiandou Empire. All warriors, nobles, and soul masters under the Heaven Dou Imperial Family must obey his commands."

After saying this, Xue Ye slowly lowered his head again, as though he had fallen back into slumber.

PS: Later, Fairy Yuechan would use the Heaven Mending Technique and the incomplete True Dragon Divine Technique to fight one against two and easily defeat Chen Xin and Gu Rong.

The Willow Deity would descend once more and say, "Everyone, step back," allowing Shi Hao to formally become the new Human Emperor.
