Chapter 1378: Dark Moon King Becomes Emperor (Second Update, requesting everything)

After his strength increased significantly, Li Zhangsheng began to test the effect of the Four-Clawed Silver Dragon on the Time Delay Forbidden Array.

Upon this attempt, the Time Delay Forbidden Array, which could originally only maintain a three-fold delay for a long period, rose to five-fold.

It might not seem like much, but the greater the time difference of the Time Delay Forbidden Array, the time energy consumed increases geometrically or even higher; this is mainly linked to the Four-Clawed Silver Dragon's energy recovery speed, while the total energy factor is actually not very significant.

Li Zhangsheng did not turn off the Time Delay Forbidden Array, continuing to let the Four-Clawed Silver Dragon act as a laborer, constantly replenishing the energy of the Time Delay Forbidden Array.

Under the five-fold time flow, Li Zhangsheng took out some World Wonder-level Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure that he did not need, primarily Glazed Cold Crystal Jade, and continued to practice "Golden Crow Nine Revolutions".

After about half a day passed, all the excess materials were exhausted, and "Golden Crow Nine Revolutions" was also successfully pushed to the mid-stage of the Nine Revolutions.

Li Zhangsheng stood up; he could clearly feel that his physical strength had increased by another twenty or thirty percent. At his stage, twenty or thirty percent was undoubtedly a very significant improvement.

Li Zhangsheng did not end his seclusion; the River Chart and Luo Scroll appeared above his head, as he prepared to adapt to this Supreme Langhuan Treasure as quickly as possible, intending to go to the Star Palace only after becoming proficient.

With the assistance of the River Chart and Luo Scroll, coupled with his greatly increased strength, Li Zhangsheng had a high probability of breaking the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array and obtaining the Star Emperor Inheritance.

Of course, seclusion is seclusion, but Li Zhangsheng had never relaxed his attention to outside intelligence, especially information regarding the Three Sovereigns.

During the process of seclusion, time passed slowly, and soon a week had gone by.

Before Li Zhangsheng could end his seclusion, a vast bell toll resounded throughout the entire Fairy World, and purple energy rose in the sky, which could be heard even within the Secret Realm.

Li Zhangsheng's expression changed abruptly, as if he understood something, and he immediately cast his consciousness into the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings.

Upon seeing that the imperial thrones above had once again become nine, the answer was revealed: after the fall of Aidi, someone had successfully broken through to become an Emperor.

This was definitely not good news for Li Zhangsheng, because he frequently communicated with Wendi and Wudi, and since none of the three had received any news, this meant that the other party was very likely cultivated by other forces.

Li Zhangsheng's gaze landed on the last imperial throne, on which a figure was already seated.

This was a middle-aged man wearing a moon-white robe; he had a pair of squinting eyes, a goatee under his jaw, and a red mole between his eyebrows.

Li Zhangsheng had seen him before; he was the Dark Moon King. Ever since the fall of the Spirit Emperor, this guy had brought many Kings and Double-Character Kings to defect to the Xuan Emperor. Unexpectedly, in such a short time, this fellow had gained the trust of the Xuan Emperor and become an Emperor.

According to Li Zhangsheng's analysis, this was very likely related to the fall of the Kunpeng some time ago.

Clearly, the Xuan Emperor was anxious; although she was one of the Three Sovereigns, from the surface, she was the bottom-dweller among the four major human forces.

Unless she was at her wit's end, as one of the Three Sovereigns, the Xuan Emperor had no intention of defecting to other forces for the time being; this was perhaps the reason why she spared no effort in consuming a large amount of resources to make the Dark Moon King an Emperor.

The Xuan Emperor indeed had the capital for this; even without treasures to assist in breaking through to the Demon Emperor Level, she possessed countless Mysterious Essence that could improve quality. As long as she improved the quality of the Dark Moon King's Demon Pets that had not yet reached the Demon Emperor Level to Half-Step Legendary, there was a high probability of obtaining a Demon Emperor Level Demon Pet. To be honest, becoming an Emperor was not difficult.

Perhaps sensing Li Zhangsheng's gaze, the Dark Moon King subconsciously looked at Li Zhangsheng. The two locked eyes, and the Dark Moon King's eyes shrank, his gaze flickering a few times, almost not daring to meet Li Zhangsheng's eyes.

There was no help for it; the Dark Moon King remembered his predecessor—Aidi, that Emperor who had only served for a mere three minutes. A dignified Emperor was simply killed by Li Zhangsheng like a chicken and became the shame of Emperors, which made his originally great mood suddenly become very poor; it seemed that becoming an Emperor might not necessarily be a good thing.

As everyone knew, the Xuan Emperor and Li Zhangsheng were on very bad terms; it would not be an exaggeration to call them mortal enemies. The Dark Moon King had also brought a large number of the Spirit Emperor's former subordinates to defect to the Xuan Emperor, and it just so happened that Li Zhangsheng now occupied the territory once held by the Spirit Emperor, becoming the Sovereign of the Southeast Region, so the relationship between the two naturally belonged to that of enemies.

Most importantly, the Dark Moon King felt that Li Zhangsheng likely viewed this imperial throne as something already in his pocket, yet now it was occupied by him; no matter how he thought about it, there was a sense of foreboding.

Before the Dark Moon King could think much more, a character suddenly appeared on the imperial throne he was sitting on—Tui (Decadent)!

Just like the character "Ai", the character "Tui" was also a very poor imperial title. The reason why the Heavenly Dao would bestow the title of Tuidi upon the Dark Moon King was likely because it did not look favorably upon his future.

Additionally, it might also be related to the large number of unequal treaties the Dark Moon King signed with the Xuan Emperor before becoming an Emperor. It was impossible for the Xuan Emperor to help the Dark Moon King become an Emperor for no reason; the Dark Moon King could not have succeeded without paying a huge price.

In short, once the imperial title of Tuidi appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone present. Although the vast majority of the Stronger did not dare to offend Tuidi and hurriedly concealed their reactions one by one, there were always people present who did not fear Tuidi.

"I have lived for so long, and this is the first time I have seen such a title. It truly has made history. Your Majesty Tuidi, congratulations, congratulations!"

The first to speak was the uninhibited Wudi.

Even if it was only a consciousness projection, Tuidi's face was still very ugly; this was simply slapping his face in front of so many people.

As an ally, Wendi naturally sprinkled some salt: "Indeed, indeed. Unprecedented, and I fear there will be no one after him either."

Unexpectedly, the Thunder Emperor added a sentence: "Plagiarizing others' work, I fear it will not last long!"

The "plagiarizing others' work" in the Thunder Emperor's mouth referred to Tuidi stealing Li Zhangsheng's imperial throne. In the Thunder Emperor's eyes, Tuidi was not qualified to sit in that position and be on equal footing with him.

The Blood Emperor on the side could not help but frown, but he did not say anything. Originally, he had wanted to try to win over the Xuan Emperor, but with the Thunder Emperor saying this, it almost made him give up that thought on the spot.

The alliance between the Thunder Emperor and the Blood Emperor was naturally not a relationship of superior and subordinate; they possessed autonomy. This point was completely different from the relationship between the Xuan Emperor and Tuidi. Tuidi, who lacked autonomy, was not much different from a subordinate of the Xuan Emperor.

Besides that, Tuidi was also the only Emperor in history without territory. Unless he drove Li Zhangsheng out of the Southeast Region, he had no hope at all relying on himself.

Perhaps thinking that staying any longer would only be self-inflicted humiliation, and fearing to offend others by refuting, Tuidi could only suppress his anger, withdraw his consciousness from the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings, and disappear.

From beginning to end, Li Zhangsheng did not say anything. It was not that he did not want to speak, but there was really no need. He was not very good with words, but he was good at taking action.

As long as an opportunity arose, Li Zhangsheng would definitely give Tuidi a scene he would never forget, but now was not the time. The main issue was that the situation was too complex, where one move affects the whole situation, and the timing was difficult to grasp; he had to wait calmly.
