"Whoosh~~"
The blood river flowed wildly, and white skulls emerged from the water. At this moment, an indescribably foul stench was so realistic that it entered the divine consciousness of living beings. The foul smell was so true.
It was as if a terrifying blood-colored river truly existed above Yun Chi City. The clear white bones and the rushing blood flow continuously impacted the sights and sounds of the world.
"Have you considered it?"
In the imperial palace, Yun Shan calmly looked at the officials in front of her.
Rumble!
The blood river in the sky surged. Countless officials looked up in fear at the terrifying blood river. The ancestor had died in battle, and the Prime Minister and Grand Commandant had surrendered. Could the Immortal Emperor defeat Deng Qiang? Even if he defeated Deng Qiang, could he defeat Zhang Hao, who had killed three ancestors!
These were all immeasurable!
What should they do? Yun Shan, who was once the favored one of heaven, if her cultivation talent was still there, as a direct descendant of the current Immortal Emperor, she would rightfully become the Immortal Emperor of the Yun Clan Immortal Dynasty. Surrendering would be fine!
But the Yun Shan before them was now a commoner. Even facing powerful enemies, although the Prime Minister and Grand Commandant surrendered, she was ultimately a good-for-nothing. Under her leadership, the Yun Clan's great ship would sooner or later be submerged in the torrent.
"Kill them!"
Seeing that the officials remained silent for a long time, Yun Shan lost her patience. After all, the Prime Minister and Grand Commandant, who were familiar with the affairs of the Immortal Dynasty, had surrendered. With them both present, the chaotic situation could surely be stabilized.
"Yes!"
Zhang Hao stepped forward, sweeping his spear out. Blood splattered, heads flew, and streams of hot blood continuously washed over the bricks of the imperial palace.
A cry!
Brilliant golden light burst forth from Yun Shan's eyes. The divine beast, enveloped in colorful auspicious clouds, finally revealed its true form to the world!
The true phoenix spread its wings, and the ten-thousand-zhang golden dragon coiled in the imperial palace also moved in all directions. A pressure originating from their bloodline descended upon every living being of the Yun clan. At this moment, they all knew that Yun Shan! A being of the imperial lineage, the daughter of the current Immortal Emperor, the once favored one of heaven, had returned forcefully, appearing in the Yun Chi City imperial palace with the true phoenix bloodline that billions of subjects had longed for.
Beings of the imperial lineage emerged one after another, kneeling before Yun Shan. Crown Prince Yun Hao stood stunned, knowing that his position as Immortal Emperor was now hopeless. Yun Shan, who had awakened the true phoenix bloodline, would undoubtedly be the new Yun Clan Immortal Emperor!
Only she could lead the Yun Clan Immortal Dynasty to its peak!
"Ah...!"
In the void, a scream rang out. The Yun Clan Immortal Emperor's right arm, which was holding the long sword, was now covered in scarlet. Wounds of varying depths were densely scattered across his right arm. The dragon energy weakened, and the long sword vibrated uneasily.
Opposite him, Deng Qiang, standing in the blood river, looked at this scene calmly. He had not made a move, but was merely watching everything. The one inflicting this damage on the Yun Clan Immortal Emperor was not him, but the backlash from the national destiny.
The Yun clan rose to prominence during that civil war among humans and established the powerful Yun Clan Immortal Dynasty, which, along with the Da Yin Immortal Dynasty and the Human Realm, was known as the three major forces of the human race.
The reason for all this was that the founding Immortal Emperor of the Yun Clan Immortal Dynasty possessed the awakened true phoenix bloodline. At that time, there were many in the Yun clan who awakened the true phoenix bloodline, but he was the most powerful and purest.
The true phoenix bloodline, along with the establishment of the Yun Clan Immortal Dynasty, merged into the national destiny. No, the national destiny was born from the true phoenix bloodline!
At first, this was not obvious. Later, the true phoenix bloodline gradually thinned, and awakening became hopeless. However, the trace of the true phoenix bloodline hidden in the deepest part of the national destiny did not dissipate. The moment Yun Shan fully displayed the true phoenix bloodline, the aura of the founding Immortal Emperor hidden in the depths of the national destiny was awakened.
That wisp of aura controlled the national destiny and submitted to Yun Shan!
And the Yun Clan Immortal Emperor, who was manipulating the national destiny to try and kill Deng Qiang, naturally suffered the backlash of the national destiny.
The national destiny began to detach from the Immortal Emperor's physical body. He lost control of the Immortal Dynasty. His daughter Yun Shan's aura began to appear, and the true phoenix bloodline also appeared beside him.
"Impossible!"
"This is all fake! Fake!"
"I am the Yun Clan Immortal Emperor, I am the master of the Immortal Dynasty! National destiny, how dare you betray me, betray the will of the past Immortal Emperors!"
"Damn it!"
"Damn it!"
"Boom!"
At this moment, Deng Qiang made his move directly. The long spear in his hand shattered the sword energy that remained in the void. Without the enhancement of the national destiny, relying solely on the imperial aura was clearly not enough to withstand the power of Deng Qiang's spear.
"Bang!"
The spear pierced the Yun Clan Immortal Emperor's chest. Terrifying divine black light splashed out, along with a lot of blood. Under Deng Qiang's control, he rushed out of the void with the Yun Clan Immortal Emperor, appearing above Yun Chi City.
"True Phoenix!!!"
The powerless Yun Clan Immortal Emperor looked at the true phoenix soaring through the sky and the dragon of national destiny. He had fantasized about this scene countless times, but when it truly happened, all the credit belonged to someone else!
"Bang!"
The spear, carrying the Yun Clan Immortal Emperor, plunged directly into the earth, firmly pinning him to the ground.
Tap, tap, tap~~
In his ears, footsteps grew closer. The Yun Clan Immortal Emperor wearily opened his eyes and looked at the face that he had once been immensely proud of, but now intensely hated.
"From today onwards, I will make you repent for your mother day and night, and you shall not leave until death!"
Deng Qiang threw his spear, carrying the Yun Clan Immortal Emperor towards the mausoleum of Empress Yun Shan. Several spear lights entered the Yun Clan Immortal Emperor's body, sealing his divine power. He knelt on his knees, eternally repenting and atoning before Empress Yun Shan.
This scene was clearly heard by thousands of beings. No one dared to resist. To them, it did not matter who the Yun Clan Immortal Emperor was; what mattered most was the awakened true phoenix bloodline.
"From this day forward, I, the Emperor, am the Immortal Emperor of the Yun Clan Immortal Dynasty!"
Yun Shan clasped her hands tightly. The true phoenix cried, the golden dragon roared, and a golden dragon robe descended from the void, draping over her.
"Your subject, respectfully welcomes the new Emperor to the throne!"
The Prime Minister and Grand Commandant stood up, shouted in unison, and then knelt down with a bang. Beings of the imperial lineage and soldiers bowed one after another!
Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao smiled slightly, put away their weapons, and knelt on one knee.
"From this day forward, Deng Qiang is conferred the title of Grand Marshal of the Yun Clan Immortal Dynasty, controlling the military power of the Immortal Dynasty!"
"Zhang Hao is conferred the title of First Rank Great General of the Yun Clan Immortal Dynasty, assisting Deng Qiang in managing the Immortal Dynasty's troops. All other official positions remain unchanged!"
"Furthermore, Prime Minister, personally write a state letter to establish diplomatic relations with the Western Frontier Da Han Divine Dynasty!"
Yun Shan walked, her gaze fell upon the unremarkable figure of Yun Hao. She said softly, "Yun Hao is hereby enfeoffed as the Protector King!"
