Ascension

Sea of ​​clouds, yellow clouds, the 5th floor of the castle.

The backbone of Melancholy Rose, all members gathered.

Under the spotlight of the crowd, Ye Yin was only accompanied by Hong Zixun and Lu Yin.

On Xin Luo's side, there were three dark councilors including Rong Yue, Bi Baixia and Bai Hanyan.

It is clear who has a higher reputation and who has greater power.

"Yueying, give up."

"I admit that you are extremely talented. You will become a great man in the future."

"But Melancholy Rose is the foundation created by Grandpa Xin Luozu. He was born into it. How can you ask him to give it up?"

Bi Baixia was dressed in white and stood with his arms folded.

He spoke with a hint of arrogance. As soon as he finished his words, the big snake coiled behind him spewed out its tongue and had a fierce look in its eyes.

That is the "Heavenly Wolf Snake" which is a minor achievement of the Supreme Saint. It has a wolf head, a snake body, wolf claws and a snake tail. It can attack anywhere within 300 meters, and its attack speed is unparalleled. Once it targets its prey, it can often kill with one strike.

"Yes, little brother Yueying."

"I originally wanted to remain neutral, but seeing that the conflict between you was getting worse and worse, with signs of tearing Melancholy Rose apart, I had to make a choice."

Rong Yue is a middle-aged woman, dressed like a peasant woman, and she is not good-looking.

But she is clearly a 9th-rank saint, and the little rat in her arms is a shrunken version of the "Bucktooth Rat Lord".

Rong Yue was seen combing the hair of the bucktoothed rat while slowly and gently soothing him:
"Xin Luo's personality is indeed a bit irritable, and his occasional behavior is also unbecoming of a leader."

"But he has always been concerned about Melancholy Rose and has risked his life for her. How many brothers and sisters' lives have he saved? And how many of their contracted spirits have benefited from his guidance and help?"

"Xiao Yueying, you are still too young. Focus on your own growth and gain more experience."

"In the future, when you are promoted to the Holy Throne, we will definitely support you as the Vice-President of the Dark Speaker."

"Aunt Rong, what you said is wrong."

Lu Yin put up her hair behind her ears and said with a faint smile:
"Since Yueying joined Melancholy Rose, her accumulated achievements are almost as great as Xinluo's."

"You have to know that it has only been a few hundred years, and he has not yet become a saint, so his strength is lacking."

"If we give Melancholy Rose to Xin Luo, we can certainly maintain the current situation and slowly grow stronger."

"But if I were the Dark Speaker, I'd prefer to take a small gamble."

"Leave it to Yueying. The future heights will definitely set new records."

"I agree!"

Hong Zixun said bluntly:
"We have come to the sea of ​​clouds, why are we so timid? No matter where we are, we have to be cautious?"

"It's because we are seriously lacking in high-end combat power. With just the 'Rose Princess', we are not worthy of the attention of a normal Saint King family and cannot be compared with them."

"You have all witnessed Yueying's growth. His method of breeding cockroaches will one day shock all races."

"If we don't give him enough status and rights, we won't be able to keep him."

"The final result is nothing more than Melancholy Rose being torn apart, the conservatives staying where they are, and the newcomers following Moon Shadow... Is this the picture you want to see?"

Hong Zixun paused, then suddenly looked around sharply, and said seriously and sincerely:
"My ancestors were also the founders of Melancholy Rose. I don't want to see this day come."

"According to the rules, those with ability hold high positions."

"The capabilities here include our own combat power, future potential, the troops we have at hand... and so on. A comprehensive assessment."

"Now that everyone has gathered, Speaker Jinghui, how about you witness the official selection of the Melancholy Rose's successor?"

Hundreds of eyes were directed towards the main seat on the right.

There was a platform several dozen meters high, and there was an old man with black hair, leaning on a cane, overlooking the entire scene with a smile.

"Well, I am old now and I no longer have the energy to lead the Melancholy Rose forward."

"While I still have the strength to breathe, the most orthodox approach is for me to witness and hand over the power to you."

Jinghui stomped the cane in his hand, and the whispers in the crowd disappeared quietly, and everyone focused more:

"Well then, Xinluo, Yueying, show us your cards."

"I will combine the votes of the members of parliament and the support of the core members to make this judgment from an absolutely fair perspective."

"Roar!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, three priests beside Xin Luo released their aura without reservation.

They were all saints of the 9th rank, and were accompanied by at least one Holy Fetus.

Among them was a man holding an axe. The cold light flashing on the axe tip was like starlight shining on everyone's brows, shocking everyone.

"Gurilaus... a super-powerful man who has been a saint for nearly five thousand years..."

"He is the sworn brother of Xin Luo's father. The axe-shaped weapon in his hand is called 'Demon-Splitting Fang', the Supreme Saint..."

"Even when Speaker Jinghui was in his prime, he was not sure that he could defeat this man..."

Endless fears surged up like an overwhelming force.

Gurillas is a very low-key person, but every time he takes action, he will win a great victory.

All kinds of rumors about him flowed through everyone's heart. Those of lower rank were terrified, and those of closer rank felt like thorns in their backs. No one could remain calm.

"Soldiers... Soldiers..."

"My people... my people..."

The Zombie King and the Zombie Queen stood on Ye Yin's left and right.

A special magnetic field bond is formed between them, and a black vortex condenses.

Afterwards, zombie guards holding tridents continued to form battle formations and gather in twos and threes.

"Your trick is a threat to others, but what use is it to us?"

Xin Luo became impatient and waved his hand, and another beast jumped out from the crowd.

Its size suddenly expanded, and when it was viewed again it was over a hundred meters long. Its body, dominated by bright yellow, emitted a milky yellow holy light like the sun.

"Roar……"

The Zombie King and the Zombie Queen suddenly started making violent hissing sounds in their throats.

They felt a strong threat. The dazzling yellow light had a super strong purifying effect. The zombie summoning technique, both the speed and quality of the summoning, was severely affected in an instant.

"Let me introduce you to the Holy Tiger of Light, the chief priest of the demon beast tribe whom I have invited with great difficulty."

"Its melee ability is not outstanding, but relying on its Great Saint status and the righteous light element, it can easily suppress the two Undead Creatures at the Minor Saint level and defeat their bloodline union."

Xin Luo raised his head, with a hint of pride on his face.

But he never relaxed his frown because he was always observing the two people Yueying invited.

They were too calm, as if they were out of the matter and had not deliberately fought for anything from beginning to end. This abnormal phenomenon instead aroused his deeper alertness.

"It's actually the Holy Tiger of Light. It's clearly targeting Yueying!"

Hong Zixun stared, at a loss for a moment.

He heard that Xin Luo had recruited followers at the holy beast level.

But the other party did a good job of keeping it secret, and no one expected that it was such a powerful magic-type holy beast.

"With the Holy Tiger here, the two zombies are not affected at all and are no longer a threat."

"We still have the support of Mr. Gurilaus. How are you going to defend against his Devil-Splitting Fang?"

Bai Hanyan was a woman of outstanding appearance. At this time, she was holding Xin Luo's arm and said with a sweet smile.

Of course, her eyes deliberately fell on Ye Hanjun and Ye Liuying, with a hint of provocation that was hard to ignore.

“Is this considered aggressive?”

Lie Xinxin suddenly chuckled, jumped over Ye Hanjun, walked slowly and leisurely towards Xin Luo and his group.

She focused the sun's fire and light within herself, giving priority to maintaining her transformed state, and released the rest outwards.

Instantly, the temperature of the fifth floor rose visibly, and the eyes of the Holy Tiger of Light, which had been ferocious just now, suddenly became dull.

"Roar……"

"Hoohoo!!"

The Holy Tiger of Light crouched down and threatened with its roar, but Lie Xinxin ignored it and continued walking towards it.

The distance between the two was less than two hundred meters.

The Holy Tiger of Light could no longer endure it and suddenly jumped up.

Right where it had originally been, a huge mountain of light rose from the ground, with illusory light and shadow aimed at Lie Xinxin, and it collapsed with a huge bang.

"You are not a born Holy Tiger of Light. There are impurities in your blood. I'm afraid you are a feline creature that accidentally transformed into one?"

Lie Xinxin smiled and couldn't help but joked:

"Perhaps you have a great destiny, or perhaps the way you evolved is outstanding."

"But your foundation is too weak, and your skills are weaker than those of your kind. You are just a paper tiger. Do you dare to fight me?"

After the voice fell, Lie Xinxin took a deep breath, and an incredible scene appeared in people's eyes.

The shining spots of light rising from the Holy Tiger of Light were like moths to a flame, and most of them flowed into the mouth of the Sun Witch.

Her body began to glow, and the skin on her abdomen gradually became transparent, with a blazing sun fireball ready to burst forth. "My light is purer and more domineering than yours."

"You have no room to resist in front of me, just retreat obediently."

Lie Xinxin did not use any offensive spells at all, but just endlessly plundered the elemental energy of the Holy Tiger of Light.

The Holy Tiger of Light resisted frantically, trying to rush forward, but immediately crashed into a wall of light.

There was a bang, and the big tiger with dull hair seemed to be stuck in a spider web, unable to break free.

And every minute and every second thereafter, the light elements in its body were flowing out, and the final source of their flow must be the abdomen of the Sun Witch.

"Roar……"

"Hooho..."

In no time, the Holy Tiger of Light wilted and no longer had the golden glow it had at the beginning.

Lie Xinxin covered her mouth and chuckled, then waved her hand casually. A gust of wind blew by, and the Holy Tiger of Light, which had shrunk in size again, returned to Xin Luo's camp with a dejected look on its face.

"Defeated?"

"It's not even ten minutes, and you're already defeated?"

Bi Baixia and Bai Hanyan were dumbfounded.

They couldn't believe what they saw, but they had to believe it because it was the truth.

"I see. Holy and perfect Sun Witch, is this your confidence?"

Xin Luo frowned even deeper, and glanced behind him. A cold light flashed, and a person rushed out.

This person was none other than Gulilaus. He seemed to have transformed into the god of war. A thick armor bred by power appeared on his body, and the battle axe in his hand released a dazzling glow.

"Tear!!"

The Devil-Splitting Fang officially joins the battle!
It is no longer just a beast. With the power and protection of its master, its combat power is infinitely close to holy perfection.

Lie Xinxin smiled, and suddenly waved her hand, and fireballs shot out from the sky.

Her figure disappeared on the spot, and the place where the axe light pierced through was just her afterimage.

"Son of God, do you want me to defeat him alone?"

"If I use all my strength, I won't be able to maintain the form of the Sun Witch. I must transform back into the Sister of the Blazing Sun~~"

In secret, Lie Xinxin and Ye Hanjun communicated with each other in a playful manner.

Ye Hanjun raised his eyebrows, and with a thought, the cross mark on his abdomen lit up instantly.

"Rumble--"

In a flash of lightning, he also disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, Ye Hanjun was holding a cross-shaped lightning sword, which had already collided head-on with the axe blade of the Demon-Splitting Fang.

There was no harsh collision sound between the two, because the deafening thunder, since it reached everyone's eardrums, had frightened them speechless.

"The worshiper that Yueying invited not only has a Sun Witch who has completed the contract with the Supreme Saint, but also has a Thunder-attributed Warrior Beast to help?"

“This, this, this… isn’t this the equivalent of a Saint King-level supreme being? This person is so powerful that he can establish a super sect by himself, so why does he obey Yueying?!”

At this moment, not only Bi Baixia, Bai Hanyan, Rong Yue, Hong Zixun, Lu Yin... every one of them was stunned.

"This is my distant relative. Do you need a reason to help me?"

Ye Yin spoke calmly, answering everyone's questions, but at the same time, it inexplicably made them feel a chill on their backs.

"Boom! Boom!!"

Ye Hanjun brandished the sword Lei Zi, and each sword light was several meters wide and hundreds of meters long. Hundreds of swords were swung in succession, and the afterimages of swords filled the sky, forcing Gulilaus back step by step.

Gurilaus cleverly concealed the shock in his eyes, and he re-entered the duel state, pouring all the power from the S-rank "Crazy Fighter" into his body.

Then, he could barely see the traces of sword light, and then locked onto Ye Hanjun's body, wielding the Demon-Splitting Fang, breaking the sky with one blow, and charging forward like a wolf or a tiger.

"Crackling!!"

Ye Hanjun jumped backwards. Although his original body had the ability to survive, he had not yet become a saint and could not easily withstand the frontal attack of the Holy Soldier Beast.

The sword in his hand, Lei Zi, sensed Gulilaus's murderous intention, and its lightning light suddenly increased. It suddenly broke away from Ye Hanjun's palm and appeared behind Gulilaus like a ghost.

"when!!"

The Devil-Splitting Fang also broke free from Gulilaus's broad palm, raised the blade backwards, and blocked the sword Lei Zi's slash.

However, when the Devil's Fang used its full strength to activate its "Cut" attack feature, the sword Thunder was split into two and immediately turned into two lightning swords, piercing through Gurilaus' palms, one on the left and one on the right. Before the blood could gush out, it was all blocked by the raging electric arc.

"No, it's not a soldier beast, it has no entity, this is an elemental holy spirit!"

Beside Xin Luo, the other two saint-level priests, Hu Qi and Shu Bo, were horrified.

Compared with the thunder-attributed soldier spirits, they were more horrified by the thunder-attributed origin spirits.

Because the latter category is more rare, and the additional control of thunder element on this basis, the final combat power formed by the mixture is enough to make people imagine.

"Boom!!"

Jian Lei Zi didn't care about the screams of others. He had already sensed the murderous intent, so he would naturally retaliate with more than ten times the killing desire.

Its offensive power gradually became more violent, and the form of attack was no longer limited to the sword.

Sometimes there are companion thunder swallows galloping across the sky, and sometimes there are galloping thunder horses kicking the earth. Wherever the lightning goes, golden shadows fill the sky and lightning flashes, with unstoppable force.

"puff!"

"Puff puff!!"

The flesh on Gulilaus' body was constantly cut, and the spurting blood gradually dyed his clothes red.

He tried to escape from the blockade area of ​​thunder and lightning more than once, hoping to attack Ye Hanjun's body.

But Jian Leizi stuck to him like glue, and not only could he not break out, but he got deeper and deeper into the trap.

"Monsters...Those with thunder attributes are all monsters..."

“Gurilaus is probably going to fail. His power-enhanced Devil-Splitting Fang is actually at an absolute disadvantage. He can’t even see a glimmer of a chance to win…”

The onlookers were shocked, and countless people had mixed feelings.

This is just one scene they saw.

In another scene, the Sun Witch had already called a truce and was standing beside Ye Hanjun with a smile on her face, as if it had nothing to do with her and she was indifferent.

This scene is obviously more impactful. Yueying's distant relative only needs to send a contracted spirit to have a chance to win in the end.

If he puts his all, can he really win even if all the priests around Xin Luo rush over?

"return."

Ye Hanjun suddenly waved his hand, and Jian Leizi flew back obediently.

The battlefield with swords and sabers disappeared instantly, but the pressure of thunder and lightning that filled the space still oppressed everyone's soul.

"Is this enough?"

Ye Hanjun looked at the panting Gulilaus from a distance and said calmly:
"Yueying is not powerless. If you insist on competing with each other in the 'power around you', it will only be like hitting a rock with an egg."

"May I ask your name?"

Gulilaus tried to breathe evenly as possible, stared with his eyes wide open, and asked with difficulty.

"Ash."

Ye Hanjun whispered:
"Chairman Jinghui, do we need to continue the competition?"

"If we follow the rule that whoever has the bigger fist wins, then we are already the winner, right?"

On the high platform, Jinghui's eyes slightly opened and then gradually closed.

He stamped his cane and asked with a smile:

"Xin Luo, do you have any objections?"

"If not, then Yueying's successor identity will be a foregone conclusion."

"Mr. Speaker, please think twice!"

Bai Hanyan braved everyone's gaze and shouted:
"Yueying is an outsider after all, not as good as Xin Luogen!"

"You handed the Melancholy Rose to him, which is tantamount to handing over the business that our ancestors worked so hard to build to an outsider!"

"Bai Hanyan, shut up!"

Xin Luo suddenly interrupted, with a fierce look in his eyes:
"Yueying, I just want to ask you one question."

"Can you promise to lead Melancholy Rose to the heavens and the worlds, and do your best to reach higher peaks?"

"I promise to do the best I can."

Ye Yin said frankly without any ambiguity.

"it is good!"

Xin Luo nodded heavily, turned around suddenly, and said to the person next to him:

"I, Xin Luo, am willing to admit defeat after being crushed by absolute strength!"

"From now on, Melancholy Rose will follow Moon Shadow in everything. My orders are no longer the top priority!"
