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

Chapter 137 The Empty Shell of the Medicine God is Ultimately Destroyed, and the Last Emperor Dies.At the Qingyun Dynasty remnant stronghold in the back mountains of Wanyao Valley, an absurd farce of a heaven-worship ceremony was currently unfolding.

Ever since the disastrous defeat at the Great Medicinal Assembly and the Ghost Medical Saint being thrown into the Cave of Ten Thousand Insects to be devoured, the few thousand remaining soldiers of the Qingyun Dynasty had been cowering in this valley, clinging to life behind their final defensive fortifications. Everyone’s hope was pinned on Yao Tiansheng, the ”Eternal Medicinal God” who had been born less than half a year ago.

A crude altar had been erected in the center of the valley, covered in various rare spirit herbs, with incense smoke curling upwards. Qingyun Lie, dressed in a tattered dragon robe with graying hair and murky eyes, looked decades older than his actual age. Holding the swaddled Yao Tiansheng in his arms, he knelt before the altar, kowtowing repeatedly to the sky until his forehead bled.

Beside him, Great Elder Yao Qianchen had long since lost his former prestige; one of his legs was broken, and he leaned on a crutch, chanting the sacrificial text in a hoarse voice: ”Heavenly Dao above! We kowtow and beg for the Medicinal God to return to his throne! Bestow supreme divine power, slay the traitor Emperor Cao Xukun, and revitalize our Qingyun Dynasty!”

Thousands of remnant soldiers behind him knelt in unison, following suit by kowtowing and shouting, their voices filled with despair and unwillingness: ”We beg for the Medicinal God to return to his throne! Slay the traitor! Revitalize Qingyun!”

They had reached a dead end. The three hundred thousand Xuan Armor Army of Great Xuan had already surrounded the entire Wanyao Valley and could trample it at any moment. Their only hope was that this so-called Heaven-ordained Medicinal God would suddenly awaken and create a miracle.

Just then, an old man in a cyan Daoist robe suddenly stood up beside the altar. It was none other than the final Protector Golden Immortal of the Qingyun Dynasty, the Medicinal Dao expert Yao Wuji. His beard and hair stood on end, and the pressure of a late-stage Golden Immortal erupted from his body, his posturing reaching an extreme level.

”Everyone, rest assured!” Yao Wuji roared at the top of his lungs, ”The Heavenly Dao will not abandon us! His Highness the Medicinal God is merely temporarily suppressed by Emperor Cao Xukun’s evil arts! Today, I shall use my lifelong cultivation as a guide to commune with the Heavenly Dao, and I will surely awaken His Highness the Medicinal God’s 9th Grade Medicinal Physique!”

”Once His Highness the Medicinal God awakens, he can turn Emperor Cao Xukun into pus with a snap of his fingers! He will wipe the Great Xuan puppet dynasty off the face of the earth! By then, you will all be founding heroes, granted titles of kings and ministers, and enjoy endless wealth and glory!”

These words acted like a shot of adrenaline for the remnant soldiers; everyone was trembling with excitement, and hope reignited in their eyes.

”Lord Yao Wuji is mighty! His Highness the Medicinal God is invincible!”

”Today we will surely slay Emperor Cao Xukun!”

”Revitalize Qingyun! It starts today!”

Just as the entire scene was in a frenzy, a calm yet highly penetrating voice suddenly came from the entrance of the valley, clearly reaching everyone’s ears.

”Stop shouting. Your Medicinal God will never wake up.”

Everyone turned their heads in unison to look. At the valley entrance, Emperor Cao Xukun, dressed in a black dragon robe, was walking in slowly, holding the month-old Cao Yao in one arm and holding Su Yaoer’s hand with the other. He had not brought thousands of troops; only General Black Tiger and a dozen personal guards followed behind him.

Cao Yao was wearing a small golden bellyband, his large, round eyes wide open as he curiously surveyed his surroundings. His little hands were clutching a thousand-year ginseng that had flown over to him on its own, and he was gnawing on it with great relish. The golden Medicinal Dao aura swirling around him was so dense it had almost materialized, forcing all the spirit herbs in the valley to bow their heads.

Wherever he passed, the kneeling remnant soldiers lowered their heads involuntarily, not even daring to breathe loudly. The terrifying pressure of a late-stage Golden Immortal radiating from Emperor Cao Xukun was like Mount Tai pressing down on them, making them unable to even conceive the thought of resistance.

”Emperor Cao Xukun! You dare to intrude!” Yao Wuji’s expression changed drastically as he pointed at Emperor Cao Xukun and roared sternly, ”You despicable and shameless thief! You stole our valley’s supreme treasure to suppress the Medicinal God’s talent! Today, I will make you pay with your life!”

”Despicable?” Emperor Cao Xukun scoffed, walking slowly onto the altar while holding Cao Yao. ”Supreme treasures of the Heavenly Dao belong to those with the virtue to possess them. If you cannot guard it, do not blame me for taking it. As for your Medicinal God...”

His gaze fell upon Yao Tiansheng in Qingyun Lie’s arms, his tone flat: ”From the moment he was born, he never had any Medicinal Dao talent. The so-called 9th Grade Medicinal Physique is nothing more than a hollow shell that has had its origin drained away.”

”You are spouting nonsense!” Qingyun Lie stood up abruptly, holding Yao Tiansheng and shouting hysterically, ”He is the Heaven-ordained Medicinal God! He is chosen by the Heavenly Dao! You are just jealous! This is slander!”

”Lord Yao Wuji! Act now! Kill him! Awaken His Highness the Medicinal God!”

”As you command, Your Majesty!” Yao Wuji roared, and dazzling cyan light erupted from his body. ”Today, I shall act on behalf of Heaven to slay you, you traitor! Ten Thousand Poisons Return to the Source!”

Countless black poisonous mists surged from his body, coalescing into a gigantic poisonous dragon that lunged fiercely at Emperor Cao Xukun with the power to corrode everything. This was his life-bound divine ability, cultivated for ten thousand years; even an early-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal would not dare to take it head-on.

However, Emperor Cao Xukun did not even put down the child in his arms. He merely raised his left hand casually and squeezed gently.

”Crack—!”

That seemingly ferocious poisonous dragon was instantly crushed into fragments, and all the poisonous mist dissipated without a trace in an instant.

Yao Wuji was struck as if by a heavy blow, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying backward, slamming heavily onto the altar. The meridians in his body shattered inch by inch, and his Golden Immortal cultivation vanished into thin air in an instant.

”Impossible... This is absolutely impossible...” Yao Wuji lay paralyzed on the ground, his face full of disbelief. ”I am a late-stage Golden Immortal! How could you destroy me in one move!”

”So what if you are a late-stage Golden Immortal?” Emperor Cao Xukun said calmly. ”In my eyes, there is no difference between you and an ant.”

He ignored Yao Wuji and turned his gaze to Qingyun Lie: ”Now, do you have anything else to say?”

Qingyun Lie was trembling all over with fear, retreating repeatedly while clutching Yao Tiansheng, his eyes filled with terror and madness: ”No! Impossible! Your Highness the Medicinal God! Wake up! Kill him! You are the Eternal Medicinal God! You cannot lose!”

He shook Yao Tiansheng in his arms desperately, trying to awaken the so-called ”talent.” But Yao Tiansheng was made uncomfortable by the shaking and burst into tears with a ”waa,” his little hands flailing and grabbing, tearing off Qingyun Lie’s crown and even wetting all over him.

The entire scene fell into dead silence.

The remnant soldiers, who had been fanatical just a moment ago, were all dumbfounded, their expressions frozen on their faces.

This was the Eternal Medicinal God they had pinned their high hopes on?

He couldn’t even take care of himself, and he peed all over the Emperor?

”Pfft—!”

I don’t know who laughed first, but soon, more and more people couldn’t help but laugh. The laughter grew louder and louder, eventually erupting into raucous laughter.

”Hahaha! This is the Eternal Medicinal God? I think ’Eternal Pissing God’ is more like it!”

”I’m dying of laughter! We actually pinned our hopes on a baby who wets the bed!”

”It was all just self-delusion! The Heaven-ordained destiny recharge failed, that’s what it is!”

Qingyun Lie’s face instantly turned the color of pig liver, then shifted from red to white, and from white to cyan. He looked at the relentlessly crying Yao Tiansheng in his arms, then at the surrounding laughing remnant soldiers, and then at the composed Emperor Cao Xukun standing on the altar; a massive wave of despair and rage surged in his heart.

”No... I am not reconciled...” Qingyun Lie trembled, pointing at Emperor Cao Xukun, wanting to say something, but he couldn’t get a word out. Suddenly, he violently spat out a large mouthful of blood, staining his dragon robe red.

”Your Majesty!” Great Elder Yao Qianchen screamed and lunged forward.

But Qingyun Lie had already fallen straight down, his eyes wide open, unable to close them even in death.

This last Emperor of the Qingyun Dynasty had finally died from vomiting blood due to extreme anger.

”His Majesty has passed away!”

I don’t know who shouted it, but the remaining soldiers instantly fell into chaos.

”The Emperor is dead! The Medicinal God is a waste! We are finished!”

”Why keep fighting! Let’s surrender immediately!”

”Emperor Xuan, spare our lives! We are willing to surrender!”

The first soldier threw down his weapon and knelt on the ground. Immediately after, the second, the third... thousands of remnant soldiers knelt in unison, shouting loudly: ”We are willing to surrender! We pay our respects to Emperor Xuan!”

Great Elder Yao Qianchen looked at the dead Qingyun Lie, then at the relentlessly crying Yao Tiansheng, and finally at Emperor Cao Xukun, his eyes filled with despair. He sighed heavily, threw away his crutch, and also knelt on the ground: ”I... I am also willing to surrender.”

Emperor Cao Xukun, holding Cao Yao, looked at the remnant soldiers kneeling on the ground, his tone flat: ”Those who surrender will not be killed. All who are willing to submit to Great Xuan will be forgiven for their past actions. Those willing to return home will be given travel expenses. Those willing to join the army will receive the same treatment as other soldiers.”

”Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great grace!” everyone shouted in unison, their hanging hearts finally settling.

Emperor Cao Xukun’s gaze finally fell upon Yao Tiansheng. This Heaven-ordained Medicinal God, who was once pinned with high hopes by the entire Southern Region, was currently crying his heart out, his face covered in snot and tears.

”He is, after all, just an innocent child,” Su Yaoer said softly. ”Your Majesty, please spare his life.”

Emperor Cao Xukun nodded, extended a finger, and gently tapped Yao Tiansheng’s brow. The last trace of Medicinal Dao aura remaining in Yao Tiansheng’s body was instantly erased completely. From then on, Yao Tiansheng was completely reduced to an ordinary person, with no possibility of ever becoming a Medicinal God.

”Send him to an ordinary family down the mountain and let him grow up in peace,” Emperor Cao Xukun said calmly.

”Yes, Your Majesty.” General Black Tiger immediately accepted the order and had someone carry Yao Tiansheng away.

With this, the final hope of the Qingyun Dynasty was completely shattered.

The last Emperor had died vomiting blood, the Heaven-ordained Medicinal God had become an ordinary mortal, and thousands of remnant soldiers had all surrendered.

This dynasty, which had entrenched itself in the Southern Region for tens of thousands of years, was now in name only.

Emperor Cao Xukun, holding Cao Yao, walked slowly out of the valley. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on him, casting a long shadow.

The day of the unification of the Southern Region was now just around the corner.

And his next target would be the Baihua Dynasty of the Eastern Region.
