Chapter 14463 Lord of the Silent Realm

Upon entering the Realm Lord's Mansion, an old man suddenly appeared: "You must be the renowned Overlord Emperor, what brings you here?"

Ling Xiao bowed and said, "Please inform the Lord of the Realm of Nirvana that I, Ling Xiao, request an audience with him."

The old man examined the situation for a moment, then turned and disappeared into the clouds.

Half an hour later, the old man reappeared: "The Lord of the Realm of Nirvana requests your presence."

The Lord's Palace hangs in the heavens, stretching for thousands of miles.

Ling Xiao looked up and his heart was filled with emotion. The magnificence of this city was something he had never seen before in his life.

"Please, Young Master Ling."

After passing through the bustling streets, the two arrived at the Xuanhuang Palace.

The white jade floor was smooth and warm like cream. A woman in purple robes sat on a golden throne at the head of the hall, her brows marked with a blood-red cinnabar mark and her face as pale as paper.

Ling Xiao was secretly shocked: The Lord of the Silent Realm was such a sickly woman?

He stepped forward three steps and performed the courteous greeting of a subject: "Ling Xiao pays respects to the Lord of the Silent Realm."

"No need for formalities." The voice was as faint as a whisper.

The woman's eyes flickered: "What is Young Master Ling's purpose in coming here?"

"I will speak frankly; I wish to request that the Lord of the Realm of Annihilation be given a proper name."

The woman chuckled lightly: "Why do I need your approval?"

"need."

"You need to have a legitimate reason for doing so."

"Yes."

"I am willing to serve you as my master."

Their eyes met for a moment, then the woman turned to the old man: "Issue the decree: From this day forward, Ling Xiao will succeed as Emperor of Tianyuan, retaining his title of Overlord!"

The old man's expression changed slightly, and he accepted the order and left.

Ling Xiao lowered his head and remained silent. Directly bestowing the title of Emperor? This move was unexpected.

The old man returned carrying a golden seal, on which a lifelike coiled dragon was carved.

The woman gently touched her sleeve: "I entrust Tianyuan to the Overlord Emperor."

"I will certainly not fail your trust." Ling Xiao accepted the golden seal, hesitated slightly, and said, "If the Lord of the Silent Realm needs my assistance, I, Ling Xiao, will gladly die for you."

The woman nodded: "The Overlord is very kind."

"I'll take my leave."

"Wait a moment," the woman called out to him. "Having just taken charge of Tianyuan, there are many complex matters at hand. Order the national treasury to allocate one billion spirit crystals to assist the Overlord Emperor in governing."

Ling Xiao bowed deeply, then turned and left.

The woman gazed in the direction he had disappeared, remaining silent for a long time.

The old man asked quietly, "Since Your Majesty knows that he intends to use the emperor to command the feudal lords, why?"

"We're just chess players," the woman chuckled softly, her eyes closed. "Find out all his secrets."

Outside the Lord of the Realm's Mansion, Ling Xiao gazed at the celestial phenomena. Since conflict was unavoidable, he might as well take the initiative to break the deadlock.

The Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword materialized in his hand: "How many people still remember you?"

The black mist broke through the sky and disappeared.

Deep within the sea of ​​clouds, Ling Xiao suddenly stopped. Above the dome, several people looked down, all of them formidable masters.

Ling Xiao smiled calmly and disappeared in a stream of light.

He was not afraid of these people taking action; on the contrary, these people were wary of the Moon Maiden and feared that they would face him head-on.

"Even the Divine Light Clan can't hold back anymore?"

An old man scoffed, "Aren't the Gu clan the same?"

The two looked toward where the black mist had disappeared.

An old woman suddenly asked, "What level of cultivation did that woman reach?"

"He should be at the peak of the Star River Realm. If he had surpassed the Star River Realm, he shouldn't still be in the Silent Extinction Realm. You and I both know that this place isn't very good. If we could, we would both want to leave!" the old man said after thinking for a moment.

The old woman clapped her hands and pondered, "Regardless of whether that woman has surpassed the Star River Realm, her strength is extraordinary."

The old man nodded: "Our Divine Light Clan has exhausted all our resources, yet we have still been unable to uncover this woman's background. Every time she appears, it is related to Ling Xiao."

“Ling Xiao.” The middle-aged man frowned. “This young man is no ordinary person. If it weren’t for that supreme treasure being so tempting, my Gu clan would not wish to be his enemy.”

The old man sneered, "Unless that woman truly reaches the legendary realm, my Divine Light Clan will never give up."

"It seems the Divine Light Clan is determined to obtain this item?"

"Isn't the Gu clan the same?"

The old woman shook her head: "If she truly is at the Unknown Realm, the Gu Clan should naturally retreat. Such a treasure is only worthy of being possessed by a peak expert. If one has not reached this realm..."

The old man's eyes flashed: "A temporary alliance?"

"That suits me perfectly."

"I just don't know what the long-eared tribe thinks..."

"Those guys are always impulsive and won't ally with us, so let's just ignore them and not worry about them as long as they don't cause us any trouble."

Inside Lin Yuan City, Ling Xiao went into seclusion to try and reach a higher realm.

The news that the Lord of the Silent Realm had bestowed upon Ling Xiao the title of "Overlord Emperor" had spread far and wide. This title caused a great uproar in the Silent Realm. After all, Ling Xiao was just an outsider, and no one had taken him seriously before. But now that he had actually received a formal title from the Lord of the Realm, it was a completely different story.

Surprisingly, the other forces remained silent. The entire Silent Realm exhibited an eerie calm in the face of Ling Xiao's takeover of Tianyuan.

Inside the hall, Ling Xiao sat cross-legged, the spirit crystals transforming into streams of light and disappearing into his body. Five days passed, and when the last spirit crystal was devoured, a powerful aura erupted.

"boom!"

A shockwave swept through, cracking the space around it.

When Ling Xiao opened his eyes, his gaze was filled with demonic intent, and his aura of power flowed endlessly around him.

He took a deep breath, feeling the surging power within him.

Peak of the middle stage of the Azure Moon Realm!
Unfortunately, this kind of cultivation could not be stabilized in the end, so Ling Xiao did not intend to continue. He was still more adept at consolidating and improving his cultivation in battle.

The palace doors opened, and Shangguan Yue, who had been waiting for a long time, bowed and reported: "We have controlled 90% of the Tianyuan territory, but some ancient sects have migrated en masse."

"It doesn't matter."

"The recent silence from all sides is causing me concern."

Ling Xiao chuckled: "Isn't quiet better?"

Shangguan Yue frowned: "I'm afraid they're brewing something bigger. What's most worrying is that we don't even know who our enemy is."

Before he could finish speaking, a soldier guarding the city rushed in to report: "An envoy from the Long-Eared Tribe requests an audience."

Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly: "Send it."

A short while later, a man who looked remarkably like a macaque but had long ears entered: "I am Long-Eared Dingguang, and I have come on the orders of the Long-Eared Clan Chief to congratulate the Overlord Emperor on his ascension to the throne of Tianyuan."

The other party flicked their finger, and a storage ring landed in front of Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao scanned it with his divine sense, and ten billion spirit crystals shone brightly.

Ling Xiao accepted the storage ring: "Please convey my gratitude to Chief Long-Eared Clan."

Long-eared Dingguang chuckled, "The Heavenly Abyss Saint Lord was a member of the Holy Hall. His Majesty the Overlord Emperor executed him, and the Holy Hall is not happy about it now. None of the five Holy Halls are inferior to the Three Clans and Four Sects. You'd better be careful."

After Shangguan Yue returned from seeing off her guests, Ling Xiao lightly smoothed his sleeves and said, "It seems I've benefited from Sister Yue's influence."

If Sister Yue Nu hadn't annihilated the Heavenly Abyss Saint Lord in one move, why would these forces have been so polite?

Just as the two were conversing, a sudden black light appeared in the sky. An old man in black robes floated in, his challenge token piercing the air: "The Black Emperor Sect wishes to invite Young Master Ling to inquire about the Dao. Do you dare to come?"

Ling Xiao turned to Shangguan Yue: "Look, the enemy is here. List the Black Emperor Sect as an enemy clan."

He smiled at the old man and said, "You think I'll go just because you tell me to?"

The old man sneered: "Dare not?"

The sword suddenly appeared!
Blood and energy surged instantly!
The old man made a horrified move, but his arm was severed in an instant, and all his blood was drained away!

Before he could even react, a chilling glint flashed across his throat.

Ling Xiao brushed the dust off his clothes: "Order Tianyuan to declare war on the Black Emperor Sect immediately."

Shangguan Yue stared at the rolling head and silently lowered her head.

Tianyuan declares war on the Black Emperor Sect!

This news was like a thunderclap, shaking the entire Realm of Annihilation.

No one expected that Ling Xiao would so decisively declare war on the Black Emperor Sect.

What kind of existence is the Black Emperor Sect? It has been entrenched in the Silent Realm for a thousand years, possessing profound foundations and disciples spread throughout various realms. Is Ling Xiao's ruthless declaration of war truly intended to stir up the winds of change in this world?
Does he intend to unify the Realm of Annihilation?

The Black Emperor Sect is located in the southern part of the Silent Realm, occupying a unique territory. Since ancient times, this place has been a sacred ground for martial arts, and many famous martial artists in the Silent Realm have come from this sect. (End of Chapter)
