"What did you say?"

Ming Chenyuan felt as if he was struck by lightning. The son that he was once most proud of had actually told him now that he had never been related by blood in the slightest.

This was too big of a blow to Ming Chenyuan.

"The Da Ming family has hundreds of thousands of years of history, but they have never recorded of anyone who possessed a body of lightning as powerful as mine. Do you really think that it was caused by a sudden change in their bloodline? "Old thing, that's just your wishful thinking."

The corners of Ming Xuan's mouth curled up into a mocking smile. "My true blood ties and background have long surpassed yours."

In the past, when Ming Xuan was very young, he had already discovered that he was different from others of his age. Firstly, he had the innate awakened Lightning Physique, and his physique was already several times stronger than his peers.

In addition, Ming Xuan's comprehension talent was astonishing. By the time he turned twelve, he was already able to comprehend some martial skills that even adults would not be able to comprehend.

When he was twelve years old, he inadvertently discovered that his mother, Lin Xi, had gone to the forest behind the palace to worship a tombstone. The tombstone was simple and there were no words inscribed on it.

Ming Xuan left quietly, not telling Lin Xi about the matter. After that, every year, Lin Xi would head over to the gravestone to pay her respects.

In a flash, three years had passed. Ming Xuan had reached the eighth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage and returned to the peak of the origin realm, becoming the youngest of the eight experts in the Great Ming Dynasty!

On the same day, Ming Xuan finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and appeared in the forest behind the royal palace, asking Lin Xi about the identity of the person on the gravestone.

Lin Xi didn't want to tell Mingxuan the truth, but under Mingxuan's forceful questioning, she finally revealed the truth.

In the past, Lin Xi was only a palace maid in the Great Clarity Palace. That night, when she went to the back of the palace to pick up herbs, she accidentally bumped into a dying middle-aged man lying in a pool of blood.

That man was extraordinary. Although his blood was clearly red, under the illumination of the moonlight, it seemed like it was coated with a golden film. It appeared especially magnificent.

That man did not emanate any aura, but Lin Xi felt that his strength was several times stronger than that of Duke Ming!

The man told Lin Xi that he had swam here from far away. Because he had suffered a terrible calamity, he was seriously injured and could no longer survive. Before he died, he used his last bit of strength and sent a golden ball of light into Lin Xi's abdomen.

The young man had told Lin Xi that he had been a wanderer his entire life and had no descendants. Before he died, he didn't wish for his bloodline to be severed. That beam of golden light earlier was the seed that the young man planted in Lin Xi's body.

His name was Di Linghai. His surname was not Di, but rather, his family name, Di Ling!

In the Great Ming Empire, there was no such name as Di Ling. However, Di Linghai told Lin Xi that the world he lived in was not a world that Lin Xi could even imagine.

Di Ling was a kind of being above others, a kind of nobility that ordinary people could not compare with!

By nature, he was superior!

The man said that as long as his child could grow up, he would definitely know about Di Ling's existence in the future. Without saying much, the man's life would be completely gone.

After which, Lin Xi buried his body and set up a blank tombstone.

At first, Lin Xi did not think much of the man's words. However, in the following ten days, she felt that golden light gradually improving her appearance and body, causing her entire temperament to undergo a tremendous change.

Moreover, she felt that the golden energy seed within her body had really grown into her own stomach. She felt as if there was a life being born within her!

In the month that Lin Xi's temperament had changed, she had met Duke Ming, and he had recognized her as his concubine. Everyone had thought that Lin Xi was in love with the Duke Ming's dragon seed, but only Lin Xi herself knew that she was in love with Di Linghai's flesh and blood.

As for Di Linghai's child, he was Ming Xuan in everyone's eyes!

Ming Xuan's heart was filled with boundless ambition. When he found out his identity, the violent feeling in his heart grew even stronger.

It was as if a seed had long been planted in Ming Xuan's heart, and after he learned of his mysterious and noble background, the seed in his heart had already begun to sprout.

Until four years later, his ambitions, his thirst for power and power, had already sunk to the marrow of his bones, and he was completely unable to extricate himself!

Ming Chenyuan was astonished. He shifted his gaze to Lin Fei, only to find that she had already drifted to Ming Xuan's side while he was distracted.

"Ming Chenyuan, I'm sorry. Xuan'er really isn't your flesh and blood. Just give up on that thought." Lin Xi's face was expressionless as he coldly said.

Yesterday, she was still smiling sweetly in front of Ming Chenyuan, but today, she directly turned hostile.

Honestly speaking, she had never loved Ming Chenyuan. Ever since she had met that powerful and mysterious man, there was no room in her heart for anything else.

In the eyes of the crowd, Ming Chenyuan was a god-like existence, but in Lin Xi's heart, he was nothing. That was because Di Linghai was many times stronger than Ming Chenyuan.

Subconsciously, Lin Xi already felt that she was born with a higher status than Ming Chenyuan, Ming Chenyuan was simply unworthy of her!

Because of this, when her child wanted to rebel and become the new Wise King of the Great Ming Dynasty, not only did Lin Xi not oppose him, she even strongly supported him!

"From today onwards, my surname is Di Ling. From today onwards, the Great Ming Empire will no longer exist. I will be the new King of this empire, Di Ling, and he will be the brand-new title of the dynasty."

Lin Fei, who was standing beside Di Lingxuan, did not say a word and silently agreed with Di Lingxuan's decision.

This dynasty with a population of three billion belonged to her and Di Lingxuan. Emperor Lingxuan was the well-deserved emperor, and she was the empress dowager with the authority to rule the world.

She was able to easily control the lives of others and had unparalleled authority. Everyone had to respect her, serve her, and worship her as if she were a god!

At this moment, Di Lingxuan's heart was also filled with joy. He possessed the mysterious and noble bloodline of the Di Clan. In this land, he was the undisputed strongest.

He was born superior to others, and was destined to be looked up to by everyone. He was destined to be an emperor, enjoying all the glory and wealth.

Behind Di Lingxuan, Marquis Shen Zhen's lips curled up into a sinister smile. From today onwards, the political situation in the imperial court would completely change. He had patiently endured for many years, his plan would finally be carried out!

"Hua …"

At this moment, Ming Chenyuan's face was filled with despair as he sat back down on the dragon throne.

Today, he had suffered the greatest betrayal and blow in his life!

Di Lingxuan had a strange look on his face as he said indifferently, "Mingzhen, I have loved you for so many years. As long as you lower yourself and commit suicide in front of everyone, I will leave you with your corpse and not behead you."

These words caused Ming Chenyuan's face to turn pale. All these years he had raised Di Lingxuan, and now he was ruthlessly trying to force her to commit suicide in front of everyone!

Sadly, lamentably!

"How dare you!" Not only did you call yourself Duke Ming, you even dare to call yourself 'I'. You have already committed the crime of betraying your country, and we will definitely kill you! "

The one who spoke was Fang Xie, and there were over thirty warriors standing beside him. They were all Patriarchs of the Royal families in the Great Ming Dynasty, and all of them had reached the ninth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage, the Extreme Seal realm. Every one of them had the strength of at least 7,000 lions!

Although their individual combat abilities weren't very strong, when the thirty plus people released all of their powerful auras, the auras were as if the seas were being turned upside down, as if a torrential flood was crashing towards Ming Xuan.

At the same time, behind the Hall of Wonder, there were already hundreds of dark golden armored elite soldiers holding onto long spears. They surrounded Ming Xuan, trapping him within.

"Kill!"

Fang Xie gave the order, ordering everyone to rush towards Di Lingxuan!

Even in the face of such a terrifying array, Di Lingxuan was still calm and composed. He just stood there with his hands behind his back, showing no signs of dodging!

In the next moment, everyone's attack approached. However, at the same time, a terrifying and ruthless pressure flashed across Di Lingxuan's blood-red eyes. His white hair fluttered in the wind as an extremely terrifying blood-red lightning bolt blasted towards his body.

After reaching the first stage of the Refinement Realm, the amount of Zhen Qi inside Di Lingxuan's body had already undergone a qualitative change, and it was also extremely vast. With his entire body covered in blood-red lightning, his Zhen Qi continuously poured into the red lightning, making it expand until it was as thick as an adult's arm.

These elite soldiers were clad in dark golden armor, and their defensive capabilities were astonishing. However, the blood-red colored lightning swept over them, and it was like cutting through tofu, directly entering the bodies of these elite soldiers.

"Bang!" Bang! "Bang!"

The elite soldiers' bodies exploded. They didn't even have the chance to scream before they exploded into a bloody mist!

At the same time, those terrifying lightning bolts landed on the bodies of those experts who were at the peak of the ninth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage.

One by one, they fell to the ground, their bodies spasming and twitching. The remnant waves of blood-red thunder rushed into their bodies, continuously destroying their meridians. The blood-red lightning also contained an extremely manic will that caused their minds to collapse!

"He can't even withstand a single blow."

Di Lingxuan smiled disdainfully. At this time, from his heart, the mind pellet was constantly transmitting energy to his body. Blood-red lightning appeared all over Di Lingxuan's body, her white hair fluttered in the wind, and her blood-red eyes were filled with a violent and violent energy!

Just now, he had only released a single bolt of his own lightning energy, yet it had killed all of the hundreds of elite soldiers. And those thirty plus experts, each of them in the ninth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage, were all experts that could rule over a region.

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air when they saw this scene. Di Lingxuan was simply too terrifying. His strength was so strong that it could make one's hair stand on end.

Fang Xie was also prepared to attack, but seeing Di Lingxuan's powerful attack, he could not help but retreat.

"Rumble …"

At this moment, the sound of countless heavy footsteps came from outside of the Hall of Enlightenment. Everyone looked in terror and discovered that densely packed, fully armed soldiers were slowly approaching, wrapping around the entire perimeter of the Hall of Enlightenment.

These soldiers were fully armed. The physical qualities of each soldier, as well as their combat ability, had been strictly checked. Not a single one of them had an extremely powerful combat ability. They were the Imperial Guards of the imperial court!

There were at least thirty thousand soldiers that had surrounded the Hall of Wonder, and outside the palace, there were another three hundred thousand soldiers that had surrounded the entire palace so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak out.

Furthermore, there was a huge army rushing towards the palace, with the intention of annihilating the entire palace.

Those Imperial Guards were all commanded by Marquis Shen Zhen, and Lin Fei had secretly bribed the military generals. Actually, they had already betrayed the royal family and were currently guarding outside the palace.

As long as Lin Xi gave the signal, all their elite troops would rush in!

Fang Xie's army guarded the border, there was no time to call for help, and Xue Wehui had already been sacrificed, his eight hundred thousand soldiers were in a state of disarray, like a pile of loose sand.

These troops were originally all under the command of Ming Chenyuan, the lord of the highest authority. But now, with a million and six hundred thousand soldiers in charge of these troops, the remaining eight hundred thousand soldiers had completely turned traitor!

Even though Ming Chenyuan still had his Forbidden Army and even trump cards hidden within the palace, facing such a vast army pressing in with Di Lingxuan in charge, it could be said that Ming Chenyuan was already in a desperate situation.

In front of the Hall of Enlightenment, the hearts of the officials, the patriarchs of the dynasties and families, and even the ministers and generals of the imperial court, Fang Xie, began to waver.

Right now, they simply didn't have the slightest ability to resist. Only Ming Chenyuan had the qualifications to fight against Di Lingxuan!

"Ming Chenyuan, you've already seen the outcome. Now, kill yourself to apologize. We'll leave you with an intact corpse." Di Lingxuan looked at Ming Chen Yuan indifferently, the corner of his mouth had already formed a sneer.

"Unfilial son."

Ming Chenyuan slowly stood up from the dragon throne. His entire body was also emitting a strong wave of energy. His true energy was like a sea as it spread out to his surroundings.

The hatred that he had suppressed for a long time burst out like a volcano. He suddenly roared, and with the momentum of a thunderbolt, he jumped down from the Hall of Wonder, and in the instant that he landed, he punched towards Di Lingxuan who was at the foot of the stairs.

At this moment, a blood-red lightning bolt burst out from Di Lingxuan's body as he also punched out. This was the first time since he had reached the Royal Core realm that he had truly attacked. That massive lightning bolt had almost torn the air apart!
