I, the Villain, Become Invincible the More Descendants I Have

Chapter 80 Initial Success of the FusionOn the third day after Abbot Xuan Ci self-immolated and Saintly Monk Jin Chanzi was banished, Shazhou City was decked out in festive decorations, with the sound of gongs and drums filling the air.

The dull, ancient city, once shrouded in yellow sand, was now overflowing with laughter and joy everywhere.

The commoners spontaneously cleaned the streets, hung up the Great Xuan dragon flags, and placed fruits and pastries at their doorsteps to celebrate this hard-won rebirth.

Beside the ruins of the Great Leiyin Temple, a brand-new high platform had risen from the ground.

Atop the platform, the Great Xuan dragon flags fluttered in the wind, snapping loudly.

Emperor Cao Xukun, dressed in a black dragon robe embroidered with gold and wearing a flat-topped imperial crown, sat dignified in the center.

The pressure of his Void-Cave peak stage slowly dispersed, yet it carried no trace of hostility, instead inspiring awe in people’s hearts.

Governor Ye Qingyi, dressed in purple official robes, stood by his side holding Prince Cao Chan, her expression full of composure and determination.

Below the platform, there was a sea of people, with hundreds of thousands of commoners from the Western Desert packed tightly together.

There were white-haired elders, energetic youths, and women holding their children, everyone’s face beaming with heartfelt smiles.

Li Tieniu carried a giant axe and led the soldiers to maintain order, grinning from ear to ear.

”The auspicious hour has arrived!”

Following the master of ceremonies’ loud shout, the entire crowd instantly fell silent.

Emperor Cao Xukun slowly stood up, his gaze sweeping over the hope-filled faces below, and his voice, resonant as a bell, spread throughout the entire Shazhou City:

”Today, I, Emperor Cao Xukun, hereby proclaim to the world! The old system of the Western Desert Buddhist Kingdom is abolished, and the Great Xuan Western Desert Province is officially established!”

”From this moment on, all land and all people in the Western Desert fall under the jurisdiction of Great Xuan! All citizens of Great Xuan, regardless of race, status, or rank, are equal!”

”Long live Emperor Xuan! Long live Great Xuan!”

A roar like a landslide and a tsunami erupted instantly, shaking the yellow sand into the sky.

The commoners knelt on the ground, kowtowing toward the high platform, their voices filled with excitement and gratitude.

It had been hundreds of years, and they had finally cast off the enslavement of the Buddhist sect to become true human beings.

Emperor Cao Xukun raised his hand to signal for calm, and the crowd fell silent once again.

He looked at Governor Ye Qingyi beside him and announced loudly: ”I appoint Governor Ye Qingyi as the first Governor of the Western Desert Province, to oversee all military, political, livelihood, and commercial affairs of the Western Desert!”

”Effective immediately, taxes in the Western Desert will be waived for three years, seeds and plow oxen will be distributed, water conservancy projects will be built, and wasteland will be reclaimed!”

”I guarantee that within three years, every person in the Western Desert will have food to eat and clothes to wear, and no one will ever starve or freeze to death again!”

”Governor Ye is wise!”

”Thank you, Your Majesty, Emperor Xuan!”

The commoners cheered again.

Governor Ye Qingyi stepped forward and bowed deeply to the crowd below: ”I, Qingyi, will certainly not fail the trust of His Majesty, nor the expectations of the Western Desert people! I will surely turn the Western Desert into a place of lush water and grass, where the people live in peace and happiness!”

Just then, a shrill roar suddenly came from outside the crowd:

”Emperor Cao Xukun! You will die a horrible death! You have destroyed my Buddhist sect and stolen my destiny; the Buddha will never forgive you!”

The crowd looked toward the sound and saw Saintly Monk Jin Chanzi dragging his two broken legs, his body covered in dirt and yellow sand, crawling along the ground like a maggot.

His hair was disheveled, his face was covered in blood and grime, his eyes were filled with madness and malice, and he still clutched a broken wooden stick in his hand, maintaining his pretentious air until the very end.

”I am the reincarnation of the Tathagata’s second disciple! I am the Son of Destiny! You demon, you have usurped the Western Desert and acted against the heavens; sooner or later, you will be struck by heavenly lightning!”

”People of the Western Desert, wake up! Following Emperor Cao Xukun will only lead you to hell! Only by following me can you ascend to the Western Heaven Paradise!”

The crowd below instantly erupted in an uproar, followed by bursts of loud laughter.

”Hahaha! Isn’t that the swindling holy monk? How did he end up in such a state?”

”Talking about the Western Heaven Paradise! He’s about to starve to death in the desert himself!”

”It’s hilarious, he’s in such a state and still trying to scam people!”

A young man picked up a rock and smashed it hard onto Saintly Monk Jin Chanzi’s head: ”Get lost! Don’t bring your bad luck here! If it weren’t for His Majesty, Emperor Xuan, we would still be working like beasts of burden for you! You are the true demon!”

The commoners followed suit, and stones, clods of dirt, and rotten vegetable leaves rained down on Saintly Monk Jin Chanzi.

Saintly Monk Jin Chanzi curled up on the ground, covering his head and cursing incessantly, but no one believed his nonsense anymore.

”The clown is actually you yourself.” Emperor Cao Xukun looked down at him from above, his tone cold, ”You keep talking about being the Son of Destiny, but your destiny is to have your legs broken by the commoners and to be driven out of the Western Desert like a stray dog.”

”My destiny is to let the people of the world live a good life. Look at the commoners below; their smiles are the best answer to what destiny is.”

”Your so-called Western Heaven Paradise is nothing but a paradise for your own enjoyment; what you call hell is the reality of the people’s lives. Now that I have saved the people from hell, you call me a demon. A hypocrite like you is not worthy of talking about destiny!”

Emperor Cao Xukun waved his hand and said to the soldiers: ”Throw him outside the borders of the Western Desert, and never allow him to step foot inside again. If he dares to return, kill him without mercy.”

”Understood!”

Two soldiers stepped forward and dragged Saintly Monk Jin Chanzi away like trash.

Saintly Monk Jin Chanzi struggled and roared, his voice fading further and further away until it finally disappeared into the vast desert.

This once infinitely glorious Son of Destiny ultimately ended up lonely and miserable, dying in a foreign land, becoming a laughingstock for the entire world.

Having dealt with the clown Saintly Monk Jin Chanzi, Emperor Cao Xukun looked at the commoners below again and announced loudly: ”From now on, there will be no more Buddhist Kingdom in the Western Desert, only Great Xuan! There will be no more holy monks, only commoners!”

”I, Emperor Cao Xukun, hereby swear that as long as I am on the throne, I will never let anyone bully you again!”

”Long live Emperor Xuan! Long live Great Xuan!”

The cheering erupted again, continuous and unending.

Just then, the entire Western Desert suddenly began to shake.

Countless strands of golden destiny converged from all directions, transforming into a giant golden dragon that circled above the high platform.

The power of faith accumulated by the people of the Western Desert over generations, along with the remnants of the Buddhist Kingdom’s destiny, merged into one and surged into Emperor Cao Xukun’s body.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host! Successfully established the Western Desert Province! The five regions of the Mortal Realm are completely unified!]

[Obtained ultimate reward: Blessing of destiny from the entire Buddhist Kingdom + Blessing of faith from all the people of the Western Desert!]

[Destiny fusion successful!]

An indescribably massive power erupted from within Emperor Cao Xukun’s body like a volcanic eruption.

The bottleneck that had been stuck at the Void-Cave peak stage was instantly shattered completely.

”Boom!”

A world-destroying pressure swept across the entire Mortal Realm.

The snow-capped mountains of the Northern Region collapsed, the myriad beasts of the Southern Border submitted, the giant waves of the Eastern Sea soared to the sky, and the rivers of the Central Plains flowed backward.

All races involuntarily bowed toward the Western Desert, the wind and clouds changed color, and the sun and moon lost their light.

Emperor Cao Xukun’s divine sense extended infinitely, breaking through the shackles of the Mortal Realm and touching the interface above the Nine Heavens.

His physical body became indestructible, and every movement he made carried world-destroying power.

Chaos Spiritual Power and the divine power of the Buddhist sect merged perfectly, forming a brand-new Chaos Buddhist Power, with its might increased by more than a hundredfold.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host! Cultivation level has broken through to He-ti Early Stage!]

[Current cultivation: He-ti Early Stage Great Perfection! Only one step away from the He-ti Middle Stage!]

[Divine ability upgraded: chaos divine spear has advanced to the Myriad Laws Convergence Spear! It can merge the power of all divine abilities, breaking all laws with a single spear!]

[Obtained special ability: Words Become Law! Within the Mortal Realm, a single word can determine life and death, a single phrase can alter heaven and earth!]

”Awesome! This is too awesome!” Emperor Cao Xukun clenched his fists, feeling the raging power within his body, and couldn’t help but look up to the sky and roar.

The roar spread for ten thousand li, shaking the clouds in the sky until they dissipated completely.

He was now the undisputed number one in the Mortal Realm; even if an ancient powerful being were reincarnated, they would definitely be no match for him.

Li Tieniu watched in dumbfounded amazement, his giant axe falling to the ground: ”Another breakthrough?! The He-ti Stage! The legendary He-ti Stage! Your leveling speed is faster than riding a rocket!”

”I cultivated for sixty years just to reach the Golden Core Stage, but you leveled up a whole major realm just by establishing a province; this is simply the ceiling of ’winning while lying down’!”

Emperor Cao Xukun waved his hand, looking humble-braggy: ”I didn’t want to, either, but the people were too enthusiastic, insisting on giving me their destiny and faith; I would have felt bad if I didn’t accept it. It’s all about the will of the people; it’s hard not to be powerful.”

Governor Ye Qingyi held Prince Cao Chan and walked to his side, her eyes filled with admiration and respect: ”Your Majesty is truly amazing!”
