Invincible Over the World
Chapter 493 - 493 493

493: 493 493: 493 Huang Xiaolong stood before the Nine Dragon Square, his gaze sweeping across the clan leaders and experts from various clans gathered in the square.

The clan leaders and experts from the various clans felt a tremendous pressure emanating from Huang Xiaolong’s eyes and dared not meet his gaze.

“I am Huang Xiaolong of the Beast Clan, the Beast God.

Today marks the grand ceremony of the unification of the Beast and Demon Clans, and I thank all of you for attending,” Huang Xiaolong said.

His voice wasn’t loud but everyone in the square heard him clearly.

After a brief introduction, Huang Xiaolong turned to Ao Kun and commanded, “Set up the offerings, to pay homage to the statue of the Beast God and the image of the Divine Ape Emperor!”

“Yes, Beast God Lord!” Ao Kun responded respectfully, then instructed the elders of the Nine Dragon Hall to place the offerings that had been prepared and moved the sacrificial altar forward.

Atop the sacrificial altar were the images of the Ancient Beast God of the Beast Clan and the Divine Ape Emperor of the Demon Clan.

Once everything was ready, Huang Xiaolong burned incense sticks and personally approached the altar to offer them.

Next, Ao Kun from the Nine Dragon Hall would read out the achievements of the Beast God and the Divine Ape Emperor from ancient times.

After Ao Kun’s recitation, it was Tiger Clan Patriarch Chuck’s turn to read out the events following the merger of the two clans.

The Beast and Demon Clans merged with the Beast Clan as the main body and the Demon Clan as its vassal.

Going forward, the Demon Clan would be considered a sub-hall of the Beast Clan, named the Demon Hall, which would be managed jointly by Ao Kun, Lei Ge, and the Soul-devouring Purple Monkey.

Beneath the Demon Hall would be the Nine Dragon Hall, Violent Lion Hall, and Divine Ape Hall, followed by various subsidiary halls that would be led by the leaders of other smaller tribes within the Demon Clan.

The powerful individuals from the Sea Clan, Human Clan, and Green Demon heard the news about the merger of the Beast and Demon Clans, turning the Demon Clan into a sub-hall of the Beast Clan, and their expressions changed.

Although Huang Xiaolong didn’t explicitly say it, his message was clear.

The Demon Clan was just a sub-hall of the Beast Clan, and in the future, other clans like the Sea Clan, Human Clan, and the Green Demon Clan, once they pledged allegiance, would also become sub-halls of the Beast Clan.

And they would have to follow the will of Huang Xiaolong, the Beast God of the Beast Clan.

Indeed, after Chuck finished his declaration, Ao Kun spoke, “In ancient times, the great Beast God Lord unified the Shifang Continent, and it thrived in peace with all clans living harmoniously without war, strife, or enslavement.

However, after the disappearance of the Beast God Lord, the clans became divided, wars were incessant, and the Shifang Continent fell into chaos.

To reduce war, division, and slaughter, today, we have our new Beast God Lord.

Besides inviting everyone to witness this ceremony, we also wish to discuss a unified governance of all clans with the clan leaders.”

As Ao Kun’s voice fell, a wave of commotion swept through the crowd.

Although many had anticipated this, the response was still tremendous.

Yet, although the crowd was abuzz with discussion, no one dared to voice opposition, nor did anyone step forward to offer allegiance to Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong stood there, watching the discussions among the various clans with a calm face, in no hurry.

“Huang Xiaolong, we are not opposed to pledging allegiance to you,” suddenly a voice rang out.

Everyone looked over to see that it was Fan De, the Sea Emperor of the Sea Clan.

The Sea Emperor’s status within the Sea Clan was equivalent to that of the Beast God among the Beastman Clan.

However, listening to the Sea Emperor Fan De daring to address Huang Xiaolong by name surprised everyone, and the experts from both the Beast and Demon Clans became visibly angered.

Huang Xiaolong raised his hand, stopping the Beast and Demon Clan experts who were about to retaliate.

“Continue,” Huang Xiaolong said to Fan De, his face indifferent.

“In ancient times, the Beast God Lord’s power was so immense that it shook the ancient world, and he was recognized as the foremost master of the Shifang Continent.

He once fought against the leaders of all clans and, despite their united efforts, defeated each and every one of them, bringing them to their knees before finally unifying the Shifang Continent,” Fan De looked at Huang Xiaolong.

“If you can defeat every one of us clan leaders on your own strength, without relying on external aids like the Poison Corpse Beetles, my Sea Clan will pledge allegiance to you!”

As soon as Fan De’s words ended, they unleashed a huge uproar.

The crowd burst into an intense clamor.

Fan De was actually proposing for all the clan leaders to join forces in attacking Huang Xiaolong!

Every Clan Leader was a Holy Domain Expert, and most of them were at the Holy Domain Tenth Stage!

Even Ao Kun, who was now recognized as the number one expert on the Shifang Continent, would certainly die facing the siege of the Clan Leaders!

Unless Huang Xiaolong had broken through to the Divine Domain!

Only a Divine Domain Expert could defeat the combined forces of the Clan Leaders.

“Fan De, you, how dare you!” Ao Kun, Lei Ge, Chuck, and others could not help but cry out in anger.

Though Ao Kun and the others knew of Huang Xiaolong’s strength, they likewise believed that Huang Xiaolong could not possibly defeat a united attack from the Clan Leaders.

Yet Huang Xiaolong raised his hand to stop them, signaling to Ao Kun, Lei Ge, and others to back off.

Sea Emperor Fan De disregarded Ao Kun, Lei Ge, and the others’ murderous intent, coldly staring at Huang Xiaolong: “How about it?

Huang Xiaolong, are you afraid?

If you admit you don’t have the strength, then say it out loud to everyone right now that you don’t have the strength, say it clearly!

Additionally, you must swear never to invade our clans again!”

Swear an oath!

Ao Kun, Lei Ge, and others watched as Fan De dared to force Huang Xiaolong to swear an oath, their killing intent surged wildly, and the demon energy soared to the sky, causing all the experts of various clans to tremble in fright.

“That’s right, Huang Xiaolong, if you admit you don’t have the strength, then get the hell out of here!

What the hell do you think you are, to even dream of unifying the Shifang Continent like the Ancient Beast God?

Do you think you’re worthy of being compared to the Ancient Beast God?

You are not!” Then, another grating voice rang out, the volume so loud that it made everyone’s ears buzz.

Looking over, they saw that the one who had spoken was Green Demon Clan Leader Mai Xiu.

Ao Kun and the rest were brimming with murderous intent.

Had Huang Xiaolong not spoken, they would have already rushed forward to chop Fan De and Mai Xiu into mincemeat.

But Huang Xiaolong remained calm, glancing at the two men.

Sea Emperor Fan De and Green Demon Mai Xiu dared to do this, which meant someone was backing them up.

Undoubtedly, the people behind them were from the Divine Hall, Qiankun Divine Sect, and Sin City!

After Mai Xiu, another Clan Leader stood up and berated Huang Xiaolong; it was the Skull Clan Leader.

Afterward, six more Clan Leaders stood up one after another.

In total, there were nine of them.

“Very well,” Huang Xiaolong said indifferently, “I accept your challenge.

Is there any other Clan Leader willing to come forward?”

Originally, he could have had the Beast Clan and Demon Clan experts take action, subdue them one by one, kill those who resisted without having to accept the challenge, but Huang Xiaolong had other plans.

He wanted to use this opportunity to show his true strength to all sides.

Presumably, Sea Emperor Fan De and the others thought that he was still only at the Holy Domain Seventh Rank strength, Huang Xiaolong sneered inwardly.

Upon hearing that Huang Xiaolong had actually accepted the challenge, Sea Emperor Fan De and the others were all taken aback, not expecting Huang Xiaolong to really dare to respond to the challenge.

Originally, other Clan Leaders who had not spoken and held a neutral wait-and-see attitude were stunned to see Huang Xiaolong accepting the challenge; after their momentary surprise, they too had thoughts and began to stand up one after another.

In their view, with all the Great Clan Leaders joining forces, Huang Xiaolong was bound to lose!

If Huang Xiaolong were defeated, then their clans could break free from Huang Xiaolong’s control.

Hence, more and more Clan Leaders stood up.

“Father, should we, the Human Clan, join forces as well?” Lei Hua asked the Thunder People King amid the crowd.

The Thunder People King’s face shifted between light and dark before he, too, finally stood up.
