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

Chapter 143 The Empty-Shell Saint Descends, Replicating Qingyun’s Self-Destructive ScriptThe news of the defeat at the Hundred Flower Holy Realm was like a giant boulder crashing into the murky waters of the Eastern Region.

The once arrogant Baihua Dynasty became the laughingstock of the entire Immortal Realm overnight. The top-tier secret realm, which opens only once every hundred years, had seen the entire nation’s prodigies swarm out, yet in the end, they hadn’t gained a single thing. The town-domain treasure, the ten thousand flowers thousand threads spiritual root, and the Baihua Immortal Canon had vanished, and even the First Prince, Baihua Haoyu, had been crippled in a single move.

The entire dynasty was in a state of panic, and rumors were flying everywhere. Some said Emperor Cao Xukun had already brought three hundred thousand troops to slaughter them; others said the dynasty’s luck had run out and they were about to follow in the footsteps of the Qingyun Dynasty. The civil and military officials held mourning sessions at court every day, clamoring to make peace with Great Xuan, driving Emperor Baihua Gan to smash over a dozen sets of imperial tea sets in his rage.

Just as Emperor Baihua Gan was so anxious that his mouth was covered in blisters and his hair had turned mostly white overnight, a brilliant glow suddenly erupted from deep within the imperial palace!

Pink petals fell from thin air, covering the entire Baihua City, and the air was filled with an unprecedented, rich floral fragrance. Countless colorful spirit birds flew in from all directions, circling above the imperial palace and emitting melodious cries. A golden pillar of light shot up from the Empress’s bedchamber, piercing the sky, and even the clouds in the sky transformed into the shapes of blooming peonies.

”It’s born! Her Majesty the Empress has given birth!”

The eunuch’s shrill cry pierced the silence of the imperial palace.

Emperor Baihua Gan bolted up from his dragon throne, losing one of his shoes in the process, and rushed toward the Empress’s bedchamber like a madman.

Inside the bedchamber, a delicate, jade-like baby boy lay in swaddling clothes, his large, watery eyes wide open as he curiously examined his surroundings. Faint golden petals swirled around his body, and with a wave of his tiny hand, a vibrant peony instantly bloomed in a vase nearby.

”A celestial phenomenon! A hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix! Natural floral attraction! This is a Grade 9 Floral Dao Sacred Body!”

The accompanying Grand Elder fell to his knees with a thud, trembling with excitement, tears streaming down his face: ”Heaven bless our Baihua! Heaven bless our Baihua! The Son of Destiny has descended into the world!”

”A Grade 9 Floral Dao Sacred Body! It really is Grade 9!”

”We are saved! The dynasty is saved!”

The civil and military officials knelt in unison, weeping with joy. Everyone clung to this newborn infant as if he were a straw to save their lives, pinning all their hopes on him.

Emperor Baihua Gan carefully picked up the baby boy, his eyes brimming with tears of excitement: ”Good! Good! Good! You are worthy of being my son, Emperor Baihua Gan! From this day forth, you shall be named Crown Prince Baihua Chen! You are the Crown Prince of my Baihua Dynasty! The future ruler of all under heaven!”

He held Crown Prince Baihua Chen high and roared at the assembled officials: ”Do you see this! This is the Son of Destiny ordained by the Heavenly Dao! So what if that thief, Emperor Cao Xukun, stole the spiritual root? The Heavenly Dao stands on our side! With the birth of the Son of Destiny, all the luck will return!”

”Exactly!” the Grand Elder quickly chimed in, ”His Highness the Son of Destiny possesses the only Grade 9 Floral Dao Sacred Body in eternity, and he is naturally able to control all flowers! When he grows up, let alone one Emperor Cao Xukun, even Crown Prince Ling Chen of the Central Dynasty will have to bow his head and submit!”

”Emperor Cao Xukun is nothing but a wild cultivator from the mortal realm, relying on petty theft to steal luck! Before the true Son of Destiny, he is merely a clown!”

”Once His Highness the Son of Destiny awakens his talent, he will be able to destroy the fake Great Xuan dynasty with a snap of his fingers, reclaim the Southern Region, and unify the Immortal Realm!”

The civil and military officials chimed in one after another, praising Crown Prince Baihua Chen to the high heavens, as if he were not a newborn baby but an immortal god already invincible in the world.

To completely stabilize the public sentiment and to put on a brave face, Emperor Baihua Gan immediately issued an order: Three days later, the Ten Thousand Flower Grand Ceremony, unprecedented in the Eastern Region for ten thousand years, would be held at the imperial palace plaza! They would invite all vassal sects and forces of all sizes in the Eastern Region to witness the heaven-defying talent of the Son of Destiny and announce the powerful return of the Baihua Dynasty!

Once the news broke, the entire Eastern Region was shaken.

Countless forces, holding a mentality of watching the spectacle, rushed toward Baihua City. Some truly believed that the Son of Destiny could turn the tide; others wanted to see what kind of tricks the Baihua Dynasty could still play; and others were just waiting to see how Emperor Cao Xukun would slap them in the face.

Three days later, the Ten Thousand Flower Grand Ceremony was held as scheduled.

The imperial palace plaza was packed with people, and the sect masters and elders of over a hundred sects from the Eastern Region had gathered. On the high platform, Emperor Baihua Gan, dressed in his dragon robes and full of high spirits, held the swaddled Crown Prince Baihua Chen in his arms, accepting the worship of the crowd.

”Everyone!” Emperor Baihua Gan channeled his spiritual power, his voice spreading across the entire plaza, ”Today, the Son of Destiny of my Baihua Dynasty, Crown Prince Baihua Chen, formally meets you all!”

He held Crown Prince Baihua Chen high and said loudly: ”His Highness the Son of Destiny is born with a Grade 9 Floral Dao Sacred Body and carries the luck of the Eastern Region for one hundred thousand years! With the Son of Destiny here, my Baihua Dynasty will surely rise from the ashes and create glory once more!”

As his voice fell, Crown Prince Baihua Chen waved his tiny hand, and the plaza was instantly filled with colorful flowers, blooming in vibrant hues, a breathtaking sight.

”Wow! It’s too miraculous! He can induce ten thousand flowers to bloom just after being born!”

”He is indeed the Son of Destiny! This talent is too heaven-defying!”

”With the Son of Destiny here, the Baihua Dynasty will definitely be able to defeat Emperor Cao Xukun!”

The masters of the vassal sects below the stage heaped on praise, each thumping their chests to pledge their loyalty: ”We are willing to pledge our lives to His Highness the Son of Destiny! We will assist His Highness in exterminating the fake Great Xuan dynasty!”

”As long as His Highness gives the order, our sect will immediately mobilize all our forces to trample Qingyun City!”

Emperor Baihua Gan was overjoyed and said triumphantly: ”Rest assured, everyone! Three days from now, I will lead a million troops on a personal expedition to crusade against that rebel, Emperor Cao Xukun!”

”Emperor Cao Xukun stole the treasure of my dynasty and occupies the Southern Region; he deserves to die a thousand deaths! At this Ten Thousand Flower Grand Ceremony, before everyone’s eyes, I declare war on him! Within three days, if he does not voluntarily return the spiritual root and come to beg for forgiveness bound in ropes, I will trample Qingyun City and tear him into ten thousand pieces!”

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, pointing toward the south as spittle flew from his mouth: ”Emperor Cao Xukun is nothing but a local tyrant from the mortal realm. Relying on brute force and schemes to destroy the weakest Qingyun Dynasty, he dares to style himself as Emperor Xuan? He simply doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth!”

”Before my son, the Son of Destiny, he isn’t even fit to carry his shoes! When my son grows up, I will surely let him know what true Heavenly Dao orthodoxy is! What it means to be destined by heaven!”

These words were extremely arrogant, belittling Emperor Cao Xukun as worthless, completely replicating the death wish script of the Qingyun Dynasty back then. Many people below the stage muttered to themselves, but no one dared to contradict him to his face.

Just then, an untimely voice suddenly came from the entrance of the plaza:

”Oh? Is that so? I’d like to see how you, this newborn baby, will tear me into ten thousand pieces.”

Everyone turned their heads in unison to look, only to see Emperor Cao Xukun dressed in a black dragon robe, his hands behind his back, walking slowly into the plaza. General Black Tiger followed behind carrying a large blade, and fifty thousand Xuan Armor Army soldiers lined up outside the plaza, filled with murderous intent, their iron armor reflecting the cold sun, instantly overpowering all the floral fragrance and noise.

The entire scene instantly fell into a deathly silence, where the drop of a needle could be heard.

The smile on Emperor Baihua Gan’s face instantly froze, and the Crown Prince Baihua Chen in his hands nearly fell to the ground. He never imagined that Emperor Cao Xukun would dare to barge into Baihua City single-handedly, and just in time for his Ten Thousand Flower Grand Ceremony!

Emperor Cao Xukun walked slowly to the front of the high platform, looked up at the pale-faced Emperor Baihua Gan, and a playful smile curled at the corners of his mouth: ”I have already arrived, so there is no need for you to go on a personal expedition.”

”Weren’t you going to crush me in front of everyone? Come on, I’m waiting.”
