Chapter 161 The Third World: Nine Tribulations Transformed into a Dragon, the Terrified Alien Demon
"Great victory!"
"The Seventh Human Emperor single-handedly killed hundreds of millions of demons and uprooted all alien races."
"The heavens have eyes, these alien demons often feed on human races, and now they are finally getting their retribution!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, you didn't see it, the corpses of demons brought back by the Seventh Human Emperor piled up like a mountain, and the blood flowed like a river."
Da Ling Imperial City.
Many human martial artists rushed to tell each other, and their eyes were filled with tears of excitement.
Historical records.
Da Ling calendar 36,221 years.
The Seventh Human Emperor killed demons and evil spirits, swept the world, and dyed the sky red with the blood of thousands of demons, and all races were shocked!
After Lu Yuan returned, he immediately summoned civil and military officials and issued a series of reform measures.
The first is to spread martial arts throughout the world and develop martial arts with the whole country's strength.
The invasion of the Ten Thousand Demon Realm is imminent, and the alien demon lord may descend on this world at any time.
Although Lu Yuan has the talent of [Doing Justice for Heaven], two fists cannot beat four hands.
How can he fight against the world of all monsters by himself?
Therefore.
He needs to build a martial arts army in the shortest time!
But the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts.
For most of the lower-class people, just staying alive has already exhausted all their strength, where is the extra energy and resources to practice martial arts?
Especially according to the laws of the Great Spirit, people over the age of five have to start paying head taxes.
As for a series of other heavy taxes, many lower-class people have been forced to lose their homes and families.
Many people who can't pay taxes can only sell themselves as slaves and rely on landlords to be slaves for generations.
On the other hand, those nobles and wealthy people evaded taxes and made a fortune.
The way of heaven is to reduce the surplus to make up for the deficiency, and the way of man is to reduce the deficiency to make up for the surplus.
So the first thing Lu Yuan did was to implement the one-whip method and convert all taxes into silver and hand them over.
Before this, ordinary people in the Daling Dynasty always handed in kind when paying taxes.
For example, those who planted wheat handed in wheat, and those who planted corn handed in corn.
However, the infrastructure in ancient times was backward, and it was extremely inconvenient to transport grain, which was prone to loss and other problems.
Moreover, in the collection process, it also gave many tax officials room to do things, just like the trick of "leaching the tip and kicking the hook", which made many people miserable.
Now Lu Yuan has implemented the one-whip law, which undoubtedly greatly reduced the burden on many people.
In addition.
He also sent hundreds of uncorrupted bones to work with the Demon Suppression Division to measure the good land.
The implementation of the land tax distribution and the public fire consumption.
Once this law was promulgated, it was strongly resisted by many court officials and noble families.
Like those gentry and noble families, which family does not have hundreds or thousands of acres of good land?
How can this be called paying taxes?
This is clearly cutting their flesh with a knife!
However, Lu Yuan's reputation is notorious, and these gentry and noble families dare not resist openly, but secretly obey and disobey, deliberately making trouble.
According to their past experience.
The new policies of the imperial courts of all dynasties were to kill a group first, then suppress and win over a group.
After all, all crows in the world are black, how many officials in the court have a clean foundation?
If all these people are killed, who will do the work at that time?
Those powerful nobles naturally understand this, and they waste their time and perfunctorily every day, so that the "tax distribution" has never been implemented.
"It seems that I am still too kind."
Lu Yuan learned about this and sneered.
Last time, time was in a hurry, and he only killed some powerful nobles and powerful people when he toured the world, and he didn't have time to deal with those local snakes.
Since they dare to jump out on their own initiative, don't blame me for being rude.
The streets are trampled with bones of officials, and the gates are full of heads of powerful nobles.
Those who are passive and lazy, kill!
Those who refuse to cooperate, kill!
Those who oppress the people, kill!
In the face of absolute strength, the powerful nobles, the gentry and the rich, are all just chickens and dogs.
What does a temporary infamy matter?
As long as all the nobles and dignitaries are killed and their families are exterminated, then he will be a benevolent and wise ruler who loves the people like his own children!
There will be great scholars in the future to defend him!
"Your Majesty, you really can't kill anymore!"
"Although these grassroots officials are greedy, they are the cornerstone of maintaining the order of the court."
"If the officials in various places are vacant and the order collapses, then there will be chaos in the world!"
Many important officials slapped their heads on the ground and begged with tears.
"Really?"
Lu Yuan didn't care.
"They are just a group of parasites who eat corpses and are content with their positions. If they don't do it, there are plenty of people who will!"
Not only did he not stop, but he continued to kill!
Hundreds of unrotten bones, plus the intelligence network of the Demon Suppression Department, can be said to be a sure thing, all corrupt officials have nowhere to hide.
For a time.
Heads rolled everywhere in Daling, and blood flowed like a river.
After a few days.
Those gentry and nobles completely collapsed.
They originally thought that this time it was just a small fuss but a big one.
But they didn't expect that this emperor really dared to kill!
In just three days.
Lu Yuan used iron-blooded means to bloodbath the Daling Dynasty inside and out, from top to bottom.
All reform measures were implemented perfectly without any obstacles.
The gold, silver and jewelry seized from the house could be equivalent to the court's tax revenue for fifty years!
As for the fertile land and mansions seized, they were countless, and all were distributed by Lu Yuan to all the people.
When the people of Daling have their own houses and farmlands, they no longer have to worry about being forced to break up their families by heavy taxes.
Lu Yuan finally used his biggest trump card.
Spread martial arts all over the world!
He spent a lot of Tian Bu points to improve the martial arts of the world, and compiled it into a book, which was distributed to the thirty-six states and hundreds of counties.
Lu Yuan has a Taichu immortal body and the gift of [Cut off the emotions and prove the way].
His qualifications in martial arts can be said to be the first person in ancient and modern times.
And the martial arts he improved are easy to understand, with both text and pictures. Even many people who can't read can practice according to the pictures!
At the same time, in order to encourage people to practice martial arts, Lu Yuan also issued a series of measures.
For example, martial arts practitioners are exempt from tax.
As long as you become a martial arts practitioner, you can be exempted from taxes for life.
Whether you take the imperial examination or work as an official or do business, there are additional benefits.
And martial arts practitioners above the third rank.
In addition to receiving court subsidies every year, you can also go to the thirty-six caves and seventy-two blessed places to practice.
The human forces such as the Demon Suppression Division, Tiandao Sect, Dafo Temple, and Piaomiao Xianzong also emerged one after another, recruiting talents and geniuses from all over the world.
However, as time went by.
The influence of dark energy on the demon martial world became more and more serious. The land in Daling was dry for thousands of miles, and natural disasters occurred frequently.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan actively provided disaster relief and moved a large number of people to the blessed land of Dongtian, which greatly reduced the casualties of the people.
Next.
Lu Yuan handed the throne to Princess Lingyao, and he returned to Lingxu Dongtian to start a new round of retreat.
Eradicating those corrupt officials is just a small fight, and the Ten Thousand Demon World is the real problem.
If the alien demon lord comes, the entire demon martial world will face a catastrophe.
Therefore, before that, Lu Yuan must improve his own strength as much as possible.
…
Just when the Daling Dynasty was peaceful and the number of martial artists was like a blowout.
The Ten Thousand Demon World.
Deep in the major ancient clans.
Several ancient wills revived from their slumber, their momentum shook the world, and they were extremely terrifying.
"Youhao and his aura have dissipated. I'm afraid they are in danger."
"The demon martial world is in ruins. In the past tens of thousands of years, not even a true immortal has been born. Who can kill them?"
"Did something happen that we don't know about?"
"Don't panic, fellow Taoists. I have recently gained some insights into the origin of cause and effect. I only need to do some divination to know the reason."
A foreign demon lord who is good at astrology and divination is eager to help and volunteered.
"Since the ancestor of the gods is willing to help, it's great."
The other demon lords were delighted when they heard this.
The ancestor of the gods is the strongest of the gods. His strength is unfathomable. He is a great demon lord who has mastered the origin of the three laws!
Even if you look at the entire demon world, he is one of the strongest beings.
In particular, the ancestor of the gods has amazing attainments in the laws of cause and effect and time. He is said to be able to predict the future and calculate the secrets of heaven!
"Three-eyed Demon Lord, you are joking. It's just a piece of cake. However, I need a medium to perform divination. Please bring me some daily necessities of Youhao and others."
"How difficult is that?"
The other alien demon lords moved their minds, and their majestic divine thoughts crossed the void, and immediately found many supplies from the residence of Youhao and others.
The Heavenly God Ancestor selected several mediums from them, and then pinched his fingers and pressed his seals to activate the origin of his own law of cause and effect.
A myriad of invisible thin threads suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. Each thin thread was of different thicknesses, representing a cause and effect.
These thin threads extended from the medium in his hand to the depths of the void, as if they could penetrate the two worlds and connect the present with the past!
Especially as the Heavenly God Ancestor activated the origin of the law of cause and effect to the extreme.
On those thin threads, many pictures appeared, which were the various pasts of Youhao and others!
The Heavenly God Ancestor quickly browsed all the pictures, trying to trace the cause of death of Youhao and others.
He saw the fawning Tianlang people and the Tianlang King City, which was decorated with lights.
He also saw the immortal zombies who were full of murderous aura and had mastered a trace of the origin of killing, as well as a handsome black-haired boy with extraordinary temperament...
"What is the origin of this boy? He was able to condense the immortal Xuandan and awaken the Taichu immortal body. Could he be a person from outside the sky?"
Just when the Tianshen Patriarch was about to continue to explore Lu Yuan's foundation with the memory fragments.
The next second.
A great force descended from the sky, and all the causal lines suddenly broke.
The Tianshen Patriarch was horrified and spit out a large mouthful of blood. The whole person was as if he had been severely injured, and his breath was much weaker.
"What happened to fellow Tianshen?"
Seeing this, other alien demon lords hurriedly asked worriedly.
"I..."
The Tianshen Patriarch was about to say something, but found that his memory suddenly became blank.
It was as if everything he had said and heard just now had been erased by some kind of power!
"Unknowable, unpredictable, and invisible, there must be great terror here!"
The old ancestor of the Heavenly God thought about it carefully and felt a chill rising from his tailbone and rushing straight to the top of his head!
But he hadn't figured out what had just happened.
A force of annihilation spread along those causal lines, as if to completely wipe out the old ancestor of the Heavenly God from this world!
But at the same time.
In the depths of the Ten Thousand Monsters Realm, a vast will also revived.
The two great forces collided with each other, almost causing the entire Ten Thousand Monsters Realm to collapse!
"Boom!"
The void collapsed, and the world sank.
Countless alien creatures were completely turned into dust without even a scream and dissipated into the air.
Fortunately, the power was only fleeting and could not stay in this world for too long.
Not long after, everything returned to peace again.
"What did the Heavenly God Ancestor do just now to trigger the revival of the will of the demon martial world?"
"Fortunately, we are protected by the will of all demons, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"
The other alien supremes were all tingling with scalps and could not calm down for a long time.
Especially the Heavenly God Ancestor, who was extremely terrified.
His intuition told him.
He must have caused a big disaster this time!
...
On the other side.
Lu Yuan had no idea about all this.
He was sorting out his own skills at this time and immersed in cultivation.
Last time he smelted all the laws, he had condensed many magical skills into law patterns.
But there was an exception to one skill.
The Nine Tribulations Dragon Transformation Sutra!
This skill can be sublimated to the extreme.
It is said that if one practices to the extreme, he can transform into an immortal and become an ancient real dragon!
However, the Taichu Immortal Body is already the most powerful physique of the human race from ancient times to the present, and Lu Yuan is not very interested in transforming into a real dragon.
But this technique still has many advantages.
If it is fully comprehended, it may greatly enhance his combat power.
In the following time.
Lu Yuan forgot to eat and sleep, and put all his thoughts on the Nine Tribulations Dragon Transformation Sutra.
As his understanding of this technique became deeper and deeper.
Lu Yuan found that he seemed to have undergone some strange changes.
I saw that his flesh and blood were strengthened to be more tough, and his bones and meridians became more indestructible.
Especially the law patterns intertwined, forming countless scriptures, and merged with Lu Yuan.
These golden scriptures are extremely mysterious, as if they contain the truth of heaven and earth, and have endless power!
A warm current flowed in his body and quickly spread to his limbs and bones.
"Boom!"
His dark pupils suddenly turned light gold, and then his whole body swelled up like a balloon.
He was originally six feet tall, but now he has grown to ten feet tall.
And his muscles are knotted all over his body, as if he is made of steel, with amazing explosive power!
His breath has become heavy, and every breath can stir the surrounding air, making a depressing thunder.
He also felt itchy on his head, and saw two long horns piercing the skin, like bamboo shoots after rain.
This is the real dragon horn.
The legendary real dragon horn!
When all the changes are over.
Lu Yuan's mind swept over himself and was stunned by the changes that happened to him.
Now he is ten feet tall.
His muscles are like steel, strong to the point of explosion.
But the most eye-catching thing is.
He has two dragon horns on his head!
This makes him look like a hideous and terrifying humanoid Tyrannosaurus, full of oppression!
Although compared with the previous exiled immortal, extraordinary temperament, he is now burly and rough.
But Lu Yuan did not feel disgusted at all.
After all, in this world of the survival of the fittest, strength is eternal.
Although his appearance is a bit scary, he has a kind of primitive wildness.
This wildness is absolutely fatal to some female martial artists who admire the strong!
Especially the key parts of his body, such as knees, elbows, shoulders, and chest, are covered with a layer of golden dragon scales.
These dragon scales are only the size of a baby's palm, as thin as a cicada's wing, shiny, and have amazing defensive power.
From a distance, he looks like he is wearing a golden armor made of dragon scales!
