Chapter 93: Chapter 93 - Even if you're a god, I'll kill you right before your eyes
Emperor Xue Ye fell ill.
This man, praised as the greatest emperor in the history of the Heaven Dou Empire, now lay bedridden after a series of blows.
At the same time, unexpected news came from the palace.
Former crown prince Xue Qinghe was deposed, and the fourth prince, Xue Beng, was canonized as crown prince. Xue Beng, who was still thinking about how to ask Yu Xiaowei to protect him at Lanba Academy, was immediately overwhelmed by the shocking news.
He hadn't expected his father to be so decisive and to remove Xue Qinghe outright.
In the spring breeze, he even walked as if he were floating.
Upon hearing the news, Prince Xue Xing was also overjoyed. After uncle and nephew embraced and laughed and cried for a moment, they rose and rushed to the palace.
However, the moment they saw Emperor Xue Ye, they were stunned.
Seeing the thin, withered old man with white hair before them, they could hardly believe this was the same radiant Emperor Xue Ye from just last month.
What had happened?
A massive question mark appeared in their hearts.
"Father."
Xue Beng rushed to Emperor Xue Ye's bedside, held his hand, and cried bitterly.
"My dear son, you've suffered so much over the years."
"Father, I haven't suffered."
Emperor Xue Ye gently stroked Xue Beng's head and let out a soft sigh.
"Now you are my only remaining son."
"But I was deceived and neglected your education all these years."
"Now the empire faces internal and external troubles. I fear you alone cannot bear the responsibilities of an emperor."
"So I have found a helper for you. He will watch over you for me in the future. Don't repeat the mistakes of the past."
"Xiao Wei, come in."
Upon hearing that he was the only remaining son, Xue Beng's expression froze.
When he heard Yu Xiaowei's name, Xue Beng could no longer contain himself.
My assistant? How could it be him?
After Ning Fengzhi brought Yu Xiaowei in, Emperor Xue Ye forced himself to cheer up and solemnly declared:
"Pass down my decree: bestow upon Yu Xiaowei of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan the title of Duke of Blue Lightning, and assign him the duty of supervising Prince Xue Beng. If the prince behaves inappropriately, he may be punished directly."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Under Xue Beng's stunned gaze, Yu Xiaowei calmly accepted the title of Duke of Blue Lightning.
Then Emperor Xue Ye clapped his hands, and guards who had been waiting outside entered, bringing a tray to Yu Xiaowei.
"Duke of Blue Lightning, this is your royal token."
Yu Xiaowei smiled and picked up the item from the tray.
When they saw the object clearly, the expressions on Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing's faces changed.
It was a crystal-blue object, palm-sized, in a three-dimensional triangle shape. At first glance, it looked like a large sapphire, glowing with flickering blue light, and strange energy fluctuations continuously emanated from it.
The Vast Sea Universe Cover.
A national treasure of the Heaven Dou Empire.
This was the agreement made between Yu Xiaowei and Emperor Xue Ye before Xue Beng arrived.
Yu Xiaowei supported Xue Beng on behalf of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the price was the Vast Sea Universe Cover.
Under normal circumstances, Emperor Xue Ye would never have agreed to something like this.
But after the incident with Xue Qinghe, the empire had no heir.
With concerns about the heir's death, and both Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire watching hungrily, Emperor Xue Ye reconsidered.
After much thought, he agreed to the deal.
Exchanging a dead object for the empire's future peace was a good deal from any perspective.
Moreover, although the Vast Sea Universe Cover was praised as magical in royal books, after centuries of study, no one had figured out how to use it.
After obtaining the Vast Sea Universe Cover, Yu Xiaowei no longer stayed in the palace and quickly returned to his clan.
Previously, he had worried about how to obtain the Heaven Dou Empire's national treasure, but he hadn't expected Qian Renxue to give him such an opportunity.
Still, he couldn't understand why that woman, who had acted so well as a prince, suddenly pretended to be her own sister?
The worst part was, she had no sense at all.
Her excuse was irrelevant and full of loopholes.
She deserved to be exposed.
Looking at the sapphire-like Vast Sea Universe Cover in his hand, Yu Xiaowei smiled.
Heart of the Sea God.
After being acknowledged by it, he would qualify for the Sea God's divine trial.
As long as he became a god, he believed that with his Godzilla martial soul, all gods, angels, and Rakshasa were nothing but fools—none could match him.
In his memory, Tang San had used his own blood to make the Vast Sea Universe Cover recognize him.
The requirement for recognition was to have a body strong enough to withstand the power of the vast sea.
Yu Xiaowei scratched his hand with the sharp edge of the Vast Sea Universe Cover.
As the warm blood dripped onto it, the item seemed to come alive, spinning excitedly before attaching tightly to Yu Xiaowei's palm.
Infused with the dark red blood, the once crystal-blue Vast Sea Universe Cover turned bright red.
After about two minutes, the red glow gradually faded and turned back to crystal blue, and an illusory figure slowly condensed in the air.
A deep voice suddenly echoed in the air:
"After so many years, I've finally found someone who can withstand the power of the vast sea."
Before the Sea God's shadow could finish speaking, he noticed the boy in front of him staring at him strangely.
Yu Xiaowei's eyes turned black with golden irises, his expression fierce.
An ancient and terrifying aura suddenly burst out of his body and swept toward the Sea God's shadow.
At the same time—
As the aura emerged, the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan felt an intense shock.
Even Yu Yuanzhen and Dugu Bo were no exception.
They could clearly feel fear coming from the Tyrant Dragon martial soul and King Ghidorah martial soul—as if some terrifying being had descended upon their clan.
At that moment, the Godzilla martial soul emerged from Yu Xiaowei's body.
The terrifying aura of the Monster King grew stronger.
Even a true god like the Sea God felt deep fear.
A divine-level soul beast?
Or was it a God-King level soul beast?
The Sea God's ghost screamed in panic again and again.
"What kind of soul beast is this? Why is it so terrifying?"
Hearing the Sea God's cry, Godzilla's martial soul slowly raised its head and stared at him.
This time, Godzilla was different from before. Its eyes were filled with life—like a real Godzilla had descended to earth.
Buzz buzz buzz—
Blue light rings began to glow from Godzilla's tail fins, gradually moving up to its eyes.
Terrifying energy fluctuations built up in its mouth.
Yu Xiaowei felt his mental power and soul power being rapidly consumed.
Unlike the illusion before, this time Godzilla's martial soul had been stimulated by the Sea God's aura and was truly acting on its own.
Facing Godzilla's terrifying momentum, the Sea God's ghost retreated repeatedly, trying to find a way to escape.
But Godzilla gave it no chance. A blinding blue beam suddenly burst from its mouth, hitting the Sea God's ghost hard.
The once-serene Sea God's shadow couldn't even fight back and vanished instantly.
Before Godzilla, even a god must fall.
After the Sea God's shadow disappeared—
Godzilla looked at Yu Xiaowei, roared at him in frustration, then vanished.
Looking at the intact room, Yu Xiaowei gave a bitter smile.
If his spirit power and mental strength hadn't been nearly drained, he might have thought the entire scene was just a dream.
And the Vast Sea Universe Cover he had painstakingly obtained turned to ash and scattered after the Sea God's shadow vanished.
