The entire Banan Divine Kingdom is now plunged into chaos.
"Your Majesty, hundreds of thousands of people have already gathered outside the city, not including those still on their way."
"Currently, there are protesters and rioters in every city within the divine kingdom's territory, and the City Lord's Manor are all surrounded... The most serious situation is in the border cities."
"Your Majesty! There's been a lot of discussion about this even among the ministers in the capital. This can't go on! Should we destroy the recording stone first?"
Hearing the endless stream of bad news outside, Ba Tianque sat cross-legged by the chessboard inside the house, deep in thought, holding a black piece in his hand, hesitant and undecided, as if the chaos in the Banan Divine Kingdom had nothing to do with him.
Sitting opposite Ba Tianque was an elderly man with white hair.
The old man sipped his tea slowly, quite unlike Ba Tianque's contemplative demeanor; his pace was unhurried and deliberate.
"Your Majesty, sometimes being too slow in placing a piece can actually make you more vulnerable to traps."
There's a hidden meaning in his words.
Ba Tianque held the black chess piece, staring at the chessboard, and said, "It seems the Imperial Advisor has the game in his grasp."
After saying that, the black piece was placed.
The Imperial Advisor put down his teacup, pointed at the chessboard, and chuckled, "In the earlier stages, His Majesty's playing style was incredibly ruthless, with hidden traps all along, which led to me falling into a completely disadvantageous position in the middle game..."
However, this kind of game is ultimately a treacherous path, with hidden dangers already planted within. Once these dangers explode, no matter how much advantage one has in the early and middle stages, certain defeat is inevitable.
I've simply been waiting for this opportunity.
After speaking, the Grand Preceptor placed his white piece on the chessboard.
Ba Tianque's expression changed slightly, and he put down the black chess piece he was holding.
We lost.
The Imperial Advisor smiled and said, "This game wasn't won through my planning. I only needed to wait, wait for Your Majesty's black pieces to make a mistake... After all, no one is perfect, how can anyone go through life without making the slightest mistake?"
Just like how Ba Tiance, by joining forces with the Holy Realm, forced Ba Tianxuan to feign madness and subsequently obtained the position of Crown Prince.
Although the plan seemed to have succeeded, the undercurrents eventually erupted, causing all previous efforts to be in vain and plunging the plan into a situation from which there was no recovery.
Hearing this, Ba Tianque shook his head and smiled, " Ba Tiance lost, but the Banan Divine Kingdom won, and I didn't lose either."
The Imperial Advisor bowed respectfully. "This scheming has selected a more suitable heir to the throne and has also helped Ba Tianxuan win the hearts of the people. Congratulations, Your Majesty."
Ba Tianque stood up, pushed open the door, passed through the anxious ministers, looked up at the sky and said loudly, "Remove Ba Tiance from the position of Crown Prince, banish him from the Divine Kingdom and never let him return!"
The fourth prince Ba Tianxuan, was rewarded for his meritorious service and was appointed crown prince.
The dragon's aura was abundant, and its sound resounded throughout the entire territory of the Banan Divine Kingdom.
The protests in various cities and both inside and outside the capital gradually subsided.
Meanwhile, Ba Tiance's former subordinates began to actively seek connections and try to shed the label of Ba Tiance from themselves.
They either need to prepare to flee the Banan Divine Kingdom overnight.
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; that's just how it is.
This divine kingdom possesses a vast amount of dragon energy nurtured over countless millennia.
The Heavy Mountain Immovable Emperor Seal has been nurtured by dragon energy and Imperial Intent for many years.
The dragon aura and Imperial Intent within it are naturally incomparable to those of Hong Ying.
This is what's known as the difference in cultural foundation.
When the golden holy dragon, formed by the fusion of dragon energy and Imperial Intent, occupied half of the White Pool, Hong Ying no longer intended to confront it head-on with Imperial Intent.
Beside him, Ba Tianxuan suggested, "My dragon energy belongs to the same country as theirs, the Banan Divine Kingdom. I'll hold off that golden holy dragon, and you can take over Ba Tiance."
Hong Ying glanced at Ba Tianxuan; the textual avatar was not his true form.
Ba Tianxuan understood Hong Ying's meaning, looked at the golden holy dragon, stepped forward and said, "These years of feigning madness and foolishness, though preventing me from breaking through realms at will, haven't meant I've done nothing."
Having said that, he stepped lightly.
A dragon's roar erupted, emanating from the center of Ba Tianxuan's voice!
Dragon energy spread, and dragon patterns climbed up Ba Tianxuan's body, converging at the center of his brow!
Another golden phantom of a holy dragon soared into the sky!
Although it was slightly smaller than the golden holy dragon released by the Heavy Mountain Immovable Emperor Seal, the dragon energy it released was by no means weaker.
Seeing this, Ba Tiance's face darkened, and he growled, "How did you manage to absorb dragon energy to this extent in just over a decade?"
The dragon's aura is the lifeblood of a nation.
Absorbing and refining it is easier said than done.
Even Ba Tiance could only absorb it little by little and accumulate it slowly.
Even condensing the dragon energy within one's body into a physical form is impossible.
But Ba Tianxuan was able to condense it into a dragon!
"A nation's fortune is based on its mountains and rivers as the foundation of its dragon Dragon Vein, and its ruler as the place where fortune gathers." Ba Tianxuan looked at Ba Tiance and said calmly, "Why do you think His Majesty bestowed the crown prince upon me when I was just born?"
Ba Tiance's expression grew increasingly grim.
"It's very simple. The Imperial Advisor divined the secrets of heaven, and I was born from the convergence of the nation's dragon energy, destined to fulfill the nation's destiny. Therefore, my speed in Dragon Transformation energy is far faster than yours."
After speaking, Ba Tianxuan took the lead and rushed to the golden holy dragon. The two golden holy dragons began to fight.
Ba Tiance gritted his teeth. "It's the Imperial Advisor again... Once this matter is settled, I will definitely bring him down when we get back!"
"Can you even go back?" Hong Ying held the Holy Willow Phoenix Fire Spear, her eyes revealing undisguised disgust.
She was originally an empress. A person who would abandon her own people for the throne, and a prince who conspired with Evil Cultivator for status, should be killed.
Ba Tiance's eyes twitched, his expression contorted with rage. "You really think you're my match?"
Hong Ying didn't speak, but simply gripped the butt of the spear with one hand and the front of the shaft with the other, took a step, and disappeared from the spot.
Instead, a long rainbow powerful enough to tear the White Pool in two shot straight through Ba Tiance!
The Intent of Samsara.
The Law of the Spear.
Those who are pierced through cannot even enter the cycle of reincarnation.
Although very few people are capable of cultivating the Dao Law of Samsara, that doesn't mean Ba Tiance is unaware of it.
Although he was so angry that his face was contorted, his mind was still clear.
We must not be harmed in the slightest by this shot.
If the Dao Law of Samsara invades the body, then it will be troublesome.
With a sword in hand, Ba Tiance took a step to the side.
Using the technique of shrinking the distance to an inch, he dodged the spear and instantly appeared behind Changhong, then unleashed a sword strike.
Where a golden slash passed, the seawater made way.
Hong Ying forcefully twisted her body in mid-air, the Holy Willow Phoenix Fire Spear spun at her waist, the shaft positioned behind her, and with a push of her palm, the spear shot out like an arrow, colliding with the golden slash.
boom--!
In an instant, the seawater surged, as if forming a broken water curtain, and each disappeared from each other's sight.
But the two seemed to be on the same wavelength.
One man with a gun, the other with a sword, charged forward!
Amidst the curtain of water, spears and swords clashed.
Rumble--!
The water curtain broke open.
Ba Tiance stared intently at Hong Ying and said, "If it weren't for this Sovereign's Descent Sword, I might not be your match in this place where cultivation levels are suppressed."
Hong Ying raised an eyebrow. "So, you think your sword is better than my spear?"
The moment the words fell.
A brilliant red light shone from the Holy Willow Phoenix Fire Spear!
