Afther I Take The Position As The Patriarch, All Of My Family Members Become The Fated Protagonists
Chapter 63

Chapter 63

Boom! Rumble! Rumble!

Boom!

Terrifying, extreme heavenly thunder roared and howled, countless Dao patterns symbolizing destruction exploded in the void.

Pitch-black thunder wantonly spread across the entire Heaven’s Will.

It was like pools of black ink, within which brewed thunder so thick it seemed tangible.

If that thunder were to pour down, the entire Divine Xia Empire would vanish into smoke in an instant!!

It was the wrath of the heavens, the punishment of the Great Dao—

A brutal reckoning for those who defied logic and stood above the rules.

The great terror hidden within that tribulation cloud was enough to make one’s hair stand on end.

Even a mighty Star-Holding cultivator was no different from an ant under the laws of heaven and earth!

“Heaven and Earth cannot tolerate this!! What kind of existence is sealed within that divine origin?!”

“Rule rejection, tribulation thunder of ten thousand Dao—if he can endure this trial, his future will be limitless!”

“If such an existence cannot be destroyed by heaven and earth, in the future, we might not even be qualified to be his servants!”

Ji Chang and the others watched the terrifying tribulation lightning, discussing in hushed tones.

This “Ten Thousand Dao Tribulation Lightning” was the most terrifying, most fearsome existence between heaven and earth—It could traverse endless worlds and strike directly upon the body of the one facing tribulation.

At this moment, Elder Liu’s expression turned grim.

He had no mind to pay attention to these discussions.

The annihilation of Liu Che and the others meant that their faction had lost this Naming War in such an unclear, humiliating fashion.

Worse still, he had just watched a tremendous opportunity escape from the hands of his own empire.

This stifling, smoldering frustration was almost unbearable.

“Ji Chang!! Feeling pleased with yourself, are you!!” he suddenly growled.

Familyg!!!

A thousand icy chills surged forth like a winter tide; murderous intent burst from his eyes.

As an elder of the Liu Family, his thoughts moved swiftly.

Within the Divine Xia Empire, Ji Chang could borrow the full might of the empire’s fortune.

Earlier, the Dragon Qi that rivaled his own was a manifestation of national destiny.

But now—with the emergence of the Ten Thousand Dao Tribulation Lightning, with the law of destruction descending upon the mortal realm—all fate, all rules, would lose their effectiveness.

Ji Chang could no longer wield national destiny.

If he killed Ji Chang now, the death of Divine Xia’s ruler…

Would leave great room for manipulation!

Since the Naming War had already been lost, there was no point in dwelling on it.

A way to compensate had to be found immediately.

To reach such a cultivation realm, one’s thoughts must naturally be sharp and decisive.

Now that he had made his decision—there would be no mercy!

Buzz!!!

Behind him, a boundless starry river emerged.

Fragments of the frost-killing ice laws began to float above his sea of stars.

These shards interconnected faintly, gradually forming a complete Law.

If that Law reached perfection, it would mark his stepping into the Moon Grasping Realm—And across the myriad realms, he would be honored as a ‘Marquis’!

Whoosh!!

The frost law kept spreading, Elder Liu raised one hand— The Howling Frost Wolf let out a sky-shaking roar.

It lunged toward Ji Chang; wherever it passed, heaven and earth turned white, frost slaughtered all under heaven!

It all happened too fast!

Ji Chang had no chance to react.

That overwhelmingly powerful Law struck him in an instant.

Ji Chang stumbled back several steps, stars appearing behind him—But his stars bore no law fragments at all.

He could not resist the terrifying frost.

Even his starry manifestations were soon coated with layers of white frost.

Ji Chang’s face turned deathly pale; blood seeped from the corners of his lips.

The surrounding Star-Holding cultivators simply watched, unmoving.

No matter the outcome, their own families would not be affected too greatly—

So why not stay on the sidelines?

“Liu Chang!! How dare you!!” Ji Chang shouted in horror.

But Elder Liu only sneered viciously.

“I want to kill you. This has nothing to do with the empire!”

“After I kill you, I’ll pay the so-called Su Family a visit!”

“The death of my family’s prince must be repaid in the blood of their entire family!!”

His voice was cold to the extreme.

As he spoke, both hands came together, summoning halos of light in midair—They transformed into a colossal phantom of a pale wolf.

In the wolf’s mouth seemed to swirl endless frost and snow.

This strike condensed all the power of his laws, nearly touching the Moon Grasping Realm.

He intended to kill Ji Chang with a single blow.

“My life is over!!” Ji Chang despaired.

He seemed to see the tragic downfall of Divine Xia after his death.

He couldn’t help but close his eyes—Faced with such absolute disparity in strength, resistance was nothing more than a child’s play.

Whoosh!!!

Where the frost law passed, all things withered.

Thick, cold air dragged everything into a world of snow and ice.

Ji Chang had already shut his eyes and awaited death.

However—

The imagined, bone-piercing frost never came.

What arrived instead was Elder Liu’s horrified scream.

“No!!! Impossible!!”

Ji Chang opened his eyes—

And saw a scene that would remain etched in his memory for life.

A figure, clad in black dragon-patterned robes, stepped calmly through the void.

With each step forward, the air itself rippled.

Everything in front of him was disintegrating.

Facing Elder Liu’s Howling Moon Frost Wolf technique, that figure walked forward indifferently, as though he hadn’t even noticed it.

Then—

Before this man, all things perished. All laws collapsed!

That mighty, heaven-devouring Howling Wolf was like a flower in a mirror, the moon in the water…

An illusion.

In an instant—it was annihilated.

Everything before their eyes surpassed imagination.

This was a Dao beyond comprehension!

“What a terrifying existence!”

“There’s actually someone like this within Divine Xia?!”

“Who is he?!”

One after another, the Star-Holding cultivators felt their hearts tighten.

Elder Liu’s Howling Wolf technique had nearly reached the Moon Grasping Realm.

But before this man, it was as fragile as paper.

Could it be…

He had already stepped into—The Moon Grasping Realm?!

“Could he be a titled ‘Marquis’?!” The crowd was shaken to their core.

A Moon Grasping expert—honored as Marquis in all realms—

Such a terrifying being could walk the Ancient Road of the Stars, support an entire sect with just his presence.

Why would such a being appear in this tiny country of Divine Xia?

“May I ask, esteemed one… your honored name?” Elder Liu’s expression turned respectful.

A suspected Marquis—Not even he, not even the entire Tianhan Empire, could afford to provoke such a figure.

He swept his divine sense across the figure, but saw only a chaotic mist.

This only made him more certain: This was indeed a Marquis existence!

“Me?”

A cold voice fell from above, with a hint of a mocking smile.

Boom!

As that single word landed, Heaven and earth seemed to grow heavier.

The terrifying aura fell like a starry river—Forcing Elder Liu to kneel on the spot.

Crash!!

Elder Liu’s face twisted in pain. He tried to resist, but under that overwhelming power, his efforts were laughable.

He knelt like an old dog, knees shattered.

Agonizing pain surged into his mind, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

“I don’t know how I’ve offended your Excellency!”

He looked up toward the sky at the distant figure, squeezing out those words with all his strength—Only to be completely flattened against the ground.

“Just now, didn’t you say you were going to wipe out my entire family…?”

“So tell me—how didn’t you offend me?”

Su Zhou looked down on Elder Liu, a mocking smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

“Su Zhou!!” The name instantly echoed in every Star-Holding cultivator’s heart.

“Heavens!! The Su Family Patriarch is actually a Moon Grasping existence?!”

“No wonder! No wonder Su Family could raise so many monstrous geniuses!!”

The crowd erupted in murmurs, eyes filled with dread.

That such a terrifying being existed within Divine Xia—Was almost beyond belief.

They couldn’t help but frantically recall whether their own families had ever clashed with the Su Family.

An existence like this—One could not afford to provoke, even slightly.

Ji Chang’s face was now lit with joy.

He had bet right—and hit the jackpot!

He had thought Su Zhou was merely a typical Star-Holding expert.

He never expected this horrifying power—Su Zhou might even be the legendary Moon Grasping powerhouse!

The Divine Xia Empire… is saved!!
