World-Ending Demon Emperor-Chapter 2097 - 987: E Tian’s Godslaying Sword! The Death of Ling Ao! (Part 2)
The entire mountaintop was leveled and transformed into a massive plaza.
Yan Ping led all the priests and judgment chiefs of the Zhi Du Sanctuary to attend this grand ceremony.
Because after the topping-off, Zhi Ao would hand over this Heaven-reaching Dragon Tower to the Zhi Du Sanctuary represented by Yan Ping.
On the plaza, not only were there all the top officials of the Zhi Du Sanctuary, but also all the high nobility, lords, celebrities, and generals of the entire Rage Wave Kingdom.
There were also hundreds of thousands of soldiers!
There were countless laborers on the construction site surrounding the plaza.
It was an ocean of people, all witnessing this magnificent ceremony.
Zhi Ao’s wife stood by his side, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, truly a match made in heaven. However, in the guest section, Turing Chen couldn’t help but scratch himself, seemingly reminiscing about this woman’s madness.
Zhi Ao wore a bright yellow regent prince’s robe.
Solemn and elegant dragon music played, and Zhi Ao, representing the Nu Lang Royal Family, began to worship the heavens and sacrifice to the Dragon.
After the ritual, he shouted a blessing.
"Topping-off!" Yan Ping exclaimed.
Then, the Regent Prince Zhi Ao, wearing a golden crown and robe, entered the great hall.
Accompanying him were dozens of armor-clad tower guardian samurai.
The Regent Prince held a piece of golden tile in his hands; it was the last piece needed to complete the Heaven-reaching Dragon Tower’s topping-off ceremony.
Zhi Ao climbed the steps one by one, ascending step by step.
With each step, past people and events flashed through his mind, fleeting images of Suo Lun, Gui Qinshao, Turing Si, and Gui Xingfu.
"Godfather, I’ll make you proud of me."
"Qinshao, I’ll make you proud of me."
"Godmother, I’ll make you proud of me." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
After a full quarter hour, Regent Prince Zhi Ao reached the top of the Heaven-reaching Dragon Tower.
From the tower’s top, he looked down at the sea of people below.
The top ranks of Rage Wave Kingdom were all present, as were the high officials of the Dragon Temple, along with hundreds of thousands of troops, hundreds of thousands of civilians.
Zhi Ao held the golden tile, looking down at the countless crowds.
Below, hundreds of thousands of people also looked up at Zhi Ao.
Truly, all eyes were on him!
"Before the topping-off, I have a few words to say." Zhi Ao infused dragon force, his voice resounding in everyone’s ears.
"Is this considered a public speech? The final speech?"
"What should I talk about? I didn’t really prepare a script!"
"Let’s talk about Suo Lun. He was my lifelong enemy, he took my wife, made me a prisoner, and broke my limbs. I’ve never hated someone so much in my life. Yet he became the Demon Emperor!"
These words elicited laughter from below.
Turing Chen felt disdain; for a regent prince, such a speech was truly without class.
"Today we should discuss the Dragon Temple, this pinnacle of human civilization. So, what is the Dragon Temple like?"
"Do you know the Hell Knight? They’re the Demon Emperor’s lackeys. One of them is named Ashi Luo. And do you know why he became a Hell Knight? Because his sister Ashi Liren bears the Yin Cold Extreme Vein, and he wanted to save her, so he entered the Demon Continent, a subsidiary force of the Dragon Temple. What did he encounter in the Demon Continent?"
"He was seduced by the Monster Sect and became a male consort. Thereafter, every high-ranking guest from the Dragon Temple visiting the Demon Continent would have Ashi Luo as their companion. Ashi Luo is a man, and many high-ranking members of the Dragon Temple have slept with him, including once the Zhi Du Holy Temple High Priest Ge Li, and also the Sky Priest E Yun, among many others! Eventually, after several suicide attempts, Ashi Luo couldn’t die and, in anger, became the Demon Emperor’s follower, transforming into a Hell Knight. So what is the Dragon Temple? It’s a group of filthy old men who indulge in sodomy!"
Upon these words, the crowd below erupted!
Turing Chen, Yan Ping, and Zhi Ao’s wife could hardly believe their eyes.
Crazy? Has Zhi Ao gone mad?
Instantly, Yan Ping ordered the Dragon Temple masters to immediately rush up and stop Zhi Ao, even if it meant tearing him to pieces.
Then, countless Dragon Temple masters charged into the Heaven-reaching Tower.
"Draw your swords..." Jiang Xue called out, and the dozens of East Li Kingdom masters he brought unsheathed their swords and clashed with the Dragon Temple masters.
Zhi Ao continued his speech, entirely using plain, straightforward language.
"Do you know Fu Lingxi, today a Candidate Sky Priest, Candidate Sky Judge of the Sky Holy Palace, also the backing of our Duke Turing Chen? But there’s another identity of his you don’t know; he is the biological mother of Suo Lun, the Demon Emperor. And this mother personally condemned her own son to death, personally silenced her father Marquis FuE. She didn’t do it for righteousness; she carries demon blood within her, and when she was undercover beside Ashi Luo, she even sold her body. So what is the Dragon Temple? It’s a group of monsters devoid of humanity, condemning their own offspring and grandchildren to death for profit, a bunch of whores willing to sell their bodies for benefits."
"My wife Fang Qingqing, everyone knows her, right? How beautiful and dignified, so motherly... She comes from Yin Zhou, also a subsidiary force of the Dragon Temple, receiving the best trade since childhood, also studied in Yanjing Dragon Academy." Zhi Ao pointed at his wife.
Suddenly, his wife’s face changed dramatically, horrified beyond belief.
"One day after morning court, I met with four people: Duke Tuli Ming, Duke Turing Chen, Yin Zhou emissary Fang Qingshu, and Zhi Du Holy Temple High Priest Yan Ping. Do you know how coincidental it is? Among the four people I met, three have slept with my wife! How coincidental! So what is the Dragon Temple? It’s a group of shameful bastards open to all men, like a public toilet, oh no! Sisters of the brothels, you’re many of you cute and amazing. I sullied you by comparing my wife to you, truly a tremendous sin!"
The crowd below was completely in turmoil.
Turing Chen was about to go mad, Yan Ping was about to lose it.
The Dragon Temple masters charged madly, but were tightly held off by the masters led by Jiang Xue.
And Zhi Ao’s wife, Fang Qingqing, directly fainted to the ground.
Yan Ping, Turing Chen, and the others could not wait any longer and flew directly toward Zhi Ao at the top of the tower, wanting to kill him.
"Whoosh..." Jiang Xue swiftly shot out like lightning, engaging in battle with Yan Ping and Turing Chen, fighting one against two.
Zhi Ao continued to speak from above!
"Next, let’s talk about me? Who am I?"
"I’m a fool, a fool who sold his character and dignity for his own future. A fool who did not surrender to Lanling out of jealousy. So what are you? Every one of you below, whether you’re laborers or soldiers? What are you?"
"You are also a bunch of fools, foolishly brainwashed. The Dragon Temple rides on your backs wielding power and authority, making you oxen and horses, the Dragon Temple sleeps with your wives, your daughters, robs your food, steals your land, and yet you foolishly hate Demon Emperor Lanling? You are also a group of fools."
"Who is Demon Emperor Lanling? I don’t know if he’s just or wicked?"
At this moment, more and more people attacked Jiang Xue, her warriors constantly perishing.
Dozens, hundreds surrounded Jiang Xue, she bathed in blood.
"Zhi Ao, I can’t hold them off any longer!" Jiang Xue shouted loudly.
"Guilty minister Zhi Ao, willing to serve the Demon Emperor, long live, long live, long live forever! Please, Your Majesty, come to rule the Human Kingdom, save human civilization, and completely overthrow the dark rule of the Dragon Temple!"
"Guilty minister Zhi Ao, bowing to Lord Suo Lun, please save the Human Kingdom, long live, long live, long live forever..."
Zhi Ao knelt toward the Flame Demon Empire’s direction in the south and kowtowed.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
The Heaven-reaching Dragon Tower suddenly exploded!
A sky-encompassing flame instantly engulfed the entire tower!
The entire tower turned into dust!
Rage Wave Kingdom’s regent king Zhi Ao, before he could finish his speech, was torn to pieces, completely perishing!
