Chapter 310 Was it really my incompetence that led to the downfall of the country?



As Han Tongchen's voice fell, that terrifying attack arrived, carrying divine power capable of destroying heaven and earth.

However,

In the blink of an eye, when Han Tongchen slowly raised his finger, the terrifying power was easily blocked by Han Tongchen. In turn, a holy divine light pierced through the immense power, and in just a few breaths, the power gathered by the nine people of Tianxuan Sect had completely dissipated.

Watching this scene,

Having unleashed his full power, the Heavenly Profound Sect Master, already on the verge of death, displayed an expression of both resentment and madness.

Why? !

Is the Ten Realms really that terrifying?!

The nine of them, at the cost of their lives, pooled all their strength, yet they didn't even scratch the surface of the enemy. How could this be?!

The onlookers were also incredibly shocked. Was this the tenth realm?

That's truly terrifying!

They initially thought that even if Han Tongchen was a tenth-realm expert, he would be injured by such an attack. However, he was completely unharmed and broke the attack of nine experts from the Tianxuan Sect in the blink of an eye.

At this point,

The Tianxuan Sect, a powerful sect that had stood for thousands of years, was thus completely destroyed.

No!

It can't be said that they were completely wiped out, as Chen Musheng is still in the back mountain. However... how long can Chen Musheng live? He probably won't even survive a hundred years!

After this battle,

Han Tongchen's men all rallied to support him as emperor, creating a dramatic scene of him being forced to don the yellow robe.

The current dynasty is corrupt, the emperor is tyrannical, the people are suffering, and rebellions are breaking out everywhere.

However, the imperial court still possesses considerable strength, making it not easy to destroy.

but,

With Han Tongchen, a tenth-realm expert, all the righteous armies in the world fell into his hands, and countless sects pledged allegiance. A tenth-realm expert was bound to overthrow the tyrannical court.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this is absolutely a risk-free opportunity to curry favor with the emperor; only a fool would refuse it.

In a short time,

Han Tongchen's army advanced with unstoppable momentum. In just one year, Han Tongchen's army had reached the capital and surrounded it so tightly that not even a fly could get out.

Once the capital is destroyed, the entire dynasty will be completely destroyed, and Han Tongchen will become the true emperor of the entire world.

On this day

After three dynasties, the capital fell, and Han Tongchen's army stormed into the palace. By then, the palace was already empty; the fallen army had scattered, which was perfectly normal.

When Han Tongchen and his men entered the main hall, they saw Emperor Liyang sitting upright on the dragon throne, dressed in a neat dragon robe, wearing a crown and holding the Emperor's sword. At this moment, Emperor Liyang showed no fear, remaining as usual, and even... his imperial might was even greater!

When facing Emperor Liyang, some of Han Tongchen's subordinates were somewhat fearful, a fear that was inherent to imperial power and authority.

At this time,

Emperor Li Yang's gaze met Han Tongchen's.

then,

Emperor Li Yang's voice rang out, "Han Tongchen, I ask you, am I truly cruel? Am I incompetent? Did this empire truly perish because of me?!"

These three questions in a row caused many people present to pause slightly in surprise.

Han Tongchen replied calmly, "You are not incompetent. The fall of the country is related to you, but... it is not your fault."

The empire was already in its twilight years, and a bunch of corrupt officials in the court colluded with each other, attempting to seize control of the government.

Land consolidation deprived ordinary people of the chance to survive, while powerful officials and aristocratic families paid no heed to such treatment.

The continuous natural disasters became the final straw that broke the empire's back.

You want to reform, but the court is so deeply entrenched in its problems that you can't just change it if you want to. Without reform, the empire can only linger on for a while. Your reforms have touched the interests of too many powerful figures, and even the interests of the sects.

In addition, the common people at the bottom of society were already overwhelmed and could only survive by rebelling.

In this situation, it's no longer something you can turn around; you have to start all over again. No dynasty in history has ever lasted forever; it's always been like this—a man-made disaster!

Of course, it's also possible that it wasn't just a man-made disaster!

As the sound faded,

Emperor Li Yang laughed heartily and boldly, "I never imagined that the one who knows me in the world would be the greatest rebel. How unpredictable life is! But it's all good, because this way I will die without any regrets."

He paused for a moment.

Emperor Li Yang changed the subject, "However... as the Emperor of Li Yang, I will never die a cowardly death. I will use the sword in my hand to settle the score with you."

"I know you are a tenth-realm expert, and I am no match for you, but... I would rather die on the charge than surrender."

"Your Majesty Li Yang is just as I wish, come! Let's fight!" As Han Tongchen spoke, he drew his longsword.

At the same time,

Emperor Li Yang slowly rose from his dragon throne, his sword drawn, the sound of its blade echoing throughout the hall.

Immediately afterwards,

Emperor Li Yang's figure flashed, and in an instant he was close to Han Tongchen's voice. When the sound of the two swords clashing rang out, Emperor Li Yang's figure in front of the dragon throne had just disappeared. It was just a residual image left behind, which shows how fast he was.

In a short time,

Apart from the ninth-realm experts, everyone else present couldn't even see how the two made their moves.

"I never expected that Emperor Liyang would have the cultivation of the ninth realm, and even... it seems that Emperor Liyang's cultivation is vaguely close to the tenth realm!" someone exclaimed in surprise.

Emperor Liyang had to manage state affairs, and the affairs of the court were countless. Yet he was still able to cultivate to the extreme of the ninth realm. What kind of monstrous talent did he possess?

If... if he hadn't become emperor, but instead focused on cultivation, he might already have broken through to the tenth realm.

What a pity! What a real pity!

now,

After another exchange of sword strikes, Han Tongchen and Emperor Liyang distanced themselves and did not fight again.

Han Tongchen praised, "Your talent is truly exceptional, and your swordsmanship has reached a very high level. Your talent far surpasses mine, what a pity!"

"There's nothing to regret. Everyone has their own path. I'm walking my own path, and I've never felt bitter. What's the use? Keep going!" Emperor Li Yang's voice rang out.

immediately,

As soon as the words fell, Emperor Liyang launched another attack, with incredible speed and even greater power than before. At the same time, Emperor Liyang shouted, "Come, let's settle this with one sword!"

"good!"

Han Tongchen's gentle voice rang out.

A fleeting moment of brilliance,

Emperor Liyang's body fell straight to the ground, his life force devoured by the devastating sword energy, yet he showed no signs of injury—a gesture of respect from Han Tongchen.

Frankly speaking, if Emperor Liyang were to fight him at the same level, Han Tongchen would not be confident of victory. The fact that he could fight him to a draw at the same level shows Emperor Liyang's talent.

After glancing at the corpse of Emperor Liyang, Han Tongchen's voice rang out.

"Guards, convey my decree: give Emperor Liyang a grand funeral, in accordance with the rites due to an emperor."

"yes!"

With this, the Li Yang Dynasty was completely destroyed, and Han Tongchen took control of the world.

Following the tradition of declining the throne three times, Han Tongchen chose the day for his ascension to the throne.

Seven days later,

Han Tongchen held a coronation ceremony and officially ascended the throne to establish the country.
