A blood-red giant rose from the ground, its massive body resembling a mountain.
His entire body was formed of energy, bones, meridians, skin, and armor taking shape one by one, crowned and holding a scepter.
"Blood Emperor"!
Almost without needing to say it, the giant was naturally associated with the title of that kingdom's ruler.
This was Amon materialized and condensed with soul power, the blood-red color being a light and shadow effect he had specially stolen to better reveal the identity of the "Blood Emperor."
The giant waved his scepter and struck fiercely at the dragon entrenched in the sky above Night City.
The dragon, unwilling to be outdone, raised its dragon claw and caught the scepter.
The two collided, emitting a deafening crash. Terrifying energy fluctuations raged, and the resulting gale swept through the streets and alleys, throwing the order that the city guards had so painstakingly maintained into chaos once more.
The Thunder Dragon rushed up, coiling around the blood-colored giant like a python, lightning swirling around it, and large balls of lightning exploded, blasting the giant's armor with craters.
Suddenly, the giant's scepter bloomed with large clusters of firelight, and the crimson lotus flames blazed fiercely. With a wave of his hand, he knocked away the Thunder Dragon's head, then used the scepter to cut the Thunder Dragon in half.
As the Thunder Dragon dissipated, Night City was once again shrouded in darkness, and the lightning that had illuminated the night sky seemed to subside as well. Only the giant, emitting a faint, blood-red halo, still stood in the darkness, carrying an aura of slaughter and ominousness.
This scene made countless hearts sink. The tyrant was terrifyingly powerful, and they prayed in their hearts that Lei Yin could defeat this demon and bring a new life to this country.
Time seemed to freeze for half a minute as everyone held their breath and watched the palace, waiting for what would happen next.
Heavenly thunder fell, and the sound of thunder rang out again. Dazzling lightning formed another giant, equally massive and wearing a crown.
In his right hand, he held a fist, and in his left hand, he held a palm, drawing a Lei Yin longsword from his palm.
"Lei Yin Sword!"
The Lei Yin sword and the scepter clashed, and the two giants collided, turning almost the entire palace into ruins in their battle.
However, most of the palace maids and guards had apparently received advance notice and had evacuated shortly after Lei Yin entered the palace garden.
The beautiful woman whom Lei Yin had seen in the garden, embraced by Fatty Amon and playing with him in the pool, was now wearing a long black dress, a monocle embedded in her right eye, sitting on a broken wall, watching the battle with great interest, and giggling like silver bells:
"Hehe, quite a show."
During the battle, the Lei Yin Giant was forced into desperate situations several times, seemingly about to be defeated in the next second, but he persevered tenaciously, stubbornly, and miraculously.
Of course, each of his crises also tugged at the hearts of the common people who could see the battlefield.
After one collision, the Lei Yin Giant seized a flaw in the blood-colored giant, and the Lei Yin sword in his hand suddenly extended.
At the tip of the sword were iron spears that shot out, forming the tip of the Lei Yin sword, carrying the body of the sword behind them, and piercing through the blood-colored giant's armor with unstoppable power, accurately hitting Fatty Amon standing at the center of the giant's brow.
The terrifying force tore his body apart, and the erupting thunder swallowed the scattered limbs.
The battle was over.
After a long time, when nothing else happened, countless people looked at the Lei Yin Giant standing in the center of Night City and cheered.
The terrifying, bloody, and cruel rule of the "Blood Emperor" was over, and the thunder pierced through the dark clouds, bringing light.
Under Romier's command, the city guards maintained order in Night City very well, organizing the people who had fled the city to return in an orderly manner.
The Lei Yin Giant slowly dissipated, and Lei Yin sat on a pile of rubble, leaning against a piece of wood to rest.
He gasped for breath, sweat pouring down his face. Even though the "Thundercloud" skill could gather thunder elements from the natural world, and even though the Evil Eye Tyrant's "Gather Thunder" skill replenished his consumption, after such a fierce battle, Lei Yin still felt somewhat physically exhausted, and his soul power was almost completely depleted.
"Just an avatar… Just an avatar, and he's this strong…" Lei Yin muttered to himself.
"That guy, although he hasn't become a god yet, he has definitely touched the authority of a god." The Silver Dragon King walked over slowly. Since she was exposed, she didn't pretend anymore and said it bluntly.
Lei Yin's pupils shrank. Although he had always known that Gu Yuena's identity was not simple, he was still somewhat surprised when she uttered the word "god" so casually… She didn't seem to have much reverence for gods.
"Many of his abilities are the application of rules. Although it's not the direct degradation and destruction of rules like divine power, manipulating and constructing is more difficult than simple destruction…
"Most gods can only manipulate and construct the rules of their own duties, but I don't understand that guy… He seems to be able to exploit many rules. If he ascends to the throne of God, he will definitely become one of the top gods." Gu Yuena's tone was somewhat solemn.
Lei Yin glanced at her, his mouth twitching. Gu Yuena's origin seemed to be even greater than he had originally expected…
So he tentatively asked: "What exactly are you? You wouldn't be some god, would you?"
"God? Heh…" A hint of sneer appeared on Gu Yuena's face: "If you think I'm a god, then just think of it that way…"
Gu Yuena's attitude made Lei Yin stunned… Even Amon wouldn't be so disdainful when mentioning gods.
Seeming to see Lei Yin's thoughts, Gu Yuena said lightly:
"You don't need to guess, and you don't need to know who I am. You only need to understand that we are not enemies for the time being, and our attitudes towards Amon are also in a somewhat ambiguous state.
"What's the same is that we are both exploring Amon's secrets and want him to reveal more information."
Lei Yin stood up from the ruins: "That's right. Let's get along well for the time being before we part ways…"
He released his mental power and found the ring-shaped storage soul tool left by "Blood Emperor" Amon.
Injecting soul power and looking inside, Lei Yin was stunned, and his breathing couldn't help but quicken.
Soul bones! What was inside was all soul bones! There were more than twenty pieces, with varying qualities, ranging from ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years, to a hundred thousand years.
With Lei Yin's configuration of extreme-quality soul bones all over his body, generally speaking, more than twenty soul bones of varying qualities would not cause him to lose his composure like this, but what was contained inside were all external soul bones!
They were not subject to the restriction that one person can only attach six main body part soul bones!
There were fingers, knees, skin, eyeballs, hair, monocles, hearts, blood vessels, tails…
They were enough to quickly push Lei Yin, who was currently at level 94 soul power, to the level of a level 99 Limit Douluo.
Lei Yin took a deep breath to calm the shock and excitement in his heart. He had previously guessed that if he chose to seize the throne of the Tudor Empire, Amon might have some follow-up arrangements and give him some "adventures" to improve his level.
But Lei Yin never imagined that Amon would be so simple and crude as to directly use the hand of the abandoned "Blood Emperor" clone to send so many external soul bones.
However, even if Amon had a plan for this and might be ill-intentioned, Lei Yin would still not refuse. He knew that the path he had chosen was very dangerous and difficult, but in order to find out what happened to his sister in the end, he would go forward without hesitation.
Lei Yin's expression attracted Gu Yuena's attention. She released her soul power and scanned the things inside with her mental power. This was a very impolite behavior, but curiosity about what Amon had left behind prompted her to snoop on Lei Yin's spoils.
Her breathing also became rapid. These soul bones were all exploded from the soul beasts that Amon had cruelly killed in the Star Dou Great Forest! They were once her people!
Gu Yuena was very angry for a moment.
Other than that, there was nothing she could do. She hadn't even seen the shadow of Amon's main body!
After the battle ended, Romier, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately arranged for people to carry out the reconstruction of the palace. He didn't know where he found a group of soul masters specializing in civil engineering. They might not be good at fighting, but they were definitely good at building.
These soul masters all had the ability to control rocks, soil, or wood.
With the efforts of such a soul master construction team, a new palace was quickly built, taking even less than three days.
This was definitely a miracle in the Douluo Continent at this time!
This palace seemed to "grow" out of the darkness of the earth, with towering spires shining brightly in the sunlight.
The overall structure was different from the original Chinese-style architecture, with towering stone pillars and domes as the main features, with a hint of Gothic style.
Colorful gems were inlaid on the high dome, forming mysterious symbols and symbols, and a huge white statue stood in front of the central hall.
The statue was a young man, wearing a military uniform, holding a sword high in one hand and lightning in the other, with a face exactly like Lei Yin's…
When Lei Yin absorbed the soul bones, stepped into the realm of a level 99 Limit Douluo, and walked out of the closed-door training room to the palace, his eyes were full of astonishment and surprise.
He didn't expect Romier's efficiency to be so high, completing such a huge project in just over ten days!
Even the theological-meaningful frescoes in the palace had been painted, and the vegetation on both sides of the flowerbeds and roads had been transplanted.
Romier explained with a smile: "The main body of the palace was completed in three days. The main thing was that the later carving, painting, and other decorations took more time, but it should be okay, enough to use."
This was more than enough!
Lei Yin felt that the original palace was not as good as this new one!
He looked at the statue of himself in front of the main hall and asked: "What is the attitude of the nobles and officials from all over the place?"
Romier replied preparedly: "I didn't notify the nobles and officials in Night City that day, and they very interestingly came to express their intention to be loyal. After all, it is difficult to remain indifferent after admiring the majesty of the 'Thunder God'…"
"As for those outside Night City, scattered in their respective territories, most of them are willing to accept your rule… I have already sent some fools who can't see the situation to hell.
"However, there are still some stubborn old nobles who are a bit troublesome. I haven't solved them yet. You can do it yourself."
Lei Yin nodded: "Thank you, you've worked hard."
Romier chuckled, waved his hand and said: "It's just taking what we need, you be your dog emperor, and I be my dog noble… Don't forget to give me a title that sounds more impressive…
"Well, I want the title of Duke, and also a fief as big as a Duke. I think the territories of those stubborn guys are very suitable."
"How about the Zhu family's?"
"Okay!"
