My blind date failed, so I had to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Chapter 157 Officially ascended the throne
now.

In the distant sky, dark clouds were rolling, blocking out the sun. The moment Zhou Ping looked up, the air in the entire Kyoto became extremely heavy and solid, as if a planet had fallen from the sky. The clouds in the sky seemed to no longer be floating in the wind, like the sultry silence before a hot summer storm.

laugh.

in a blink.

The black cloud, like a giant beast, seemed to have crossed thousands of miles in an instant and landed on the edge of Kyoto. In an instant, gusts of huge aura swept through like a strong wind, and the streets and alleys of Kyoto were filled with flying sand and stones, but the air became heavier, as if the end of the world was coming.

He stared at the huge beast shadow that was looming in the rolling black clouds. The magical energy around him surged uncontrollably. The Zixiao sword floating in front of him trembled uneasily, and the fairy fire in his body was even more surging.

Condensing the baby.

This is Ningying.

Before he even made a move, his aura alone was enough to make the entire city, including himself, unable to breathe. They were filled with fear, and even the magic weapons were afraid.

Looking at the group of practitioners from the three major groups below him, they were all lying on the ground. It would be more accurate to say that they were crawling on the ground in submission rather than lying down.

Zhou Ping's face was solemn. He knew that if he didn't have the immortal fire, no matter how strong his will was, facing such a huge aura of pressure, he would surrender like these people, even if he was a Nine Apertures Foundation Establisher.

no way.

The gap between foundation building and Nascent Soul is too huge, it is simply the difference between a firefly and the bright moon.

Even though I knew in my heart that the formation spirit would protect me.

But at this moment, he couldn't help feeling fear in his heart.

"Array Spirit!"

His consciousness called out.

boom.

Almost instantly, a golden light poured down from the sky above his head, dispersing the rolling black clouds that were pressing down on him and illuminating the entire city of Kyoto.

And that huge and condensed aura of pressure suddenly disappeared.

Even the spiritual energy in the air was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Zhou Ping took deep breaths.

But a roar like that of a giant beast came from the rolling black clouds, and then the broken bones of a lizard-like creature emerged from the black cloud composed of a group of black bats. It looked down at Zhou Ping as if it was looking at an ant.

"I was wondering why you dared to kill my Guigu Sect's people. It turns out you have the Taiyan Sect's formation spirit backing you up... Hehehe, to be protected by the formation spirit itself, it seems you have quite a bit of authority in the Taiyan Sect. You're worthy of being the body I chose in the first place."

There was a flame dancing in the broken lizard skull, and every time the flame danced, a sound was transmitted.

Zhou Ping was highly alert at this time. He knew what kind of person he was facing. Although the other party was now showing the aura of a Nascent Soul, he was able to infiltrate from outside the earth, and his strength was probably stronger than that of a Nascent Soul.

"senior."

"Your people are killing people wantonly in Kyoto, so I will help you clean up the mess!"

The voice fell.

The lizard skeleton snorted heavily.

In an instant.

Zhou Ping felt as if struck by lightning, his head seemed to be hit hard by a huge hammer, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, but soon a golden light enveloped him, as if he was covered with layers of golden jade clothes.

The lizard bone remnant said coldly, "It's not your turn to clean up the Guigu Sect. Besides, in my eyes, all living things are just ants."

He didn't even look at Zhou Ping when he said this. He raised his skull and looked at the golden sky. "Array Spirit, now that I have found the possessed bone, your days are numbered. Everything on this planet belongs to my Guigu Sect. You'd better surrender obediently and hand over everything from the Taiyan Sect!"

The formation spirit was too lazy to pay attention to the remaining lizard bones, but it added more and more energy to Zhou Ping.

Zhou Ping understood, obviously realizing that the formation spirit wanted to use him to teach this arrogant guy a lesson. So he laughed heartily, "What a rubbish Guigu Sect! They've been hiding for a hundred years, and now they can't wait to show up as soon as they gain some strength. Today I'll teach you the lesson of the first bird to stick its head out gets shot!"

While talking.

He used the continuously accumulated energy of the formation and poured it all into the Zixiao Sword, while the immortal fire in his body rose.

go with!
When the power of the immortal fire surged to the limit that he could currently bear, he instantly slashed out with the Purple Sky Sword.

Bang.

The Zixiao Sword appeared in front of the lizard's head in the blink of an eye, but was blocked by a force.

Even though Zhou Ping tried his best and had a huge amount of formation energy, he was still unable to break through the obstacle.

The lizard bone sneered, "You ant who doesn't know your own limitations! Even if you have the help of the formation, you can't get close to me. For the sake of the Taiyan Sect's formation spirit, I will not hold you responsible for the death of my subordinates. Get out of here!"

The sound was like rolling thunder.

Zhou Ping's body flew backwards several thousand meters.

Although he managed to stabilize himself in time and was not injured, this method and the attack just now still made him smile bitterly, and he felt powerless in his heart.

The formation spirit said, "Don't be discouraged. The gap between you and this guy is too big. Judging from the fluctuations of his soul power, this guy has lived for at least tens of thousands of years. How long have you practiced? In terms of methods and control over breath and mana, it will be difficult for you to resist."

"But don't worry, I can sense that the beast bone no longer has any power. It can only recover to this level, and it can't be any stronger."

"As long as you are within this range, I can protect you."

Zhou Ping shook his head, looking at the rolling black clouds over Kyoto City, and sighed, "This guy's goal is to obtain the ancient ruins and open the seal of the earth, but you and I can't stop him. Moreover, he can find this kind of animal bones in the ancient ruins, which means he may find stronger animal bones. Don't forget, there are also human bones in the Qingcheng ruins."

The formation spirit didn't say anything, it naturally knew this.

Zhou Ping added, "Unfortunately, this old monster is very cautious. Even after regaining some strength, he didn't come looking for me. He didn't do anything just now. He must be afraid of Senior Phoenix Fairy."

The formation spirit said, "The Phoenix Fairy's soul power is too weak. If she could recover a little, this old guy wouldn't dare to be so arrogant. Maybe she could even help strengthen the seal of the earth. Unfortunately, it is too difficult to let her recover. None of the supplies left in the sailing fleet can help her."

Tai Yanzong's long-distance fleet was destroyed as soon as it arrived in outer space outside the earth, and all the supplies on it were preserved.

"Zhou Ping."

"I suggest you cultivate well first and avoid entering the ancient ruins. This old man will definitely focus on looting the items inside the ancient ruins. If you encounter him inside, I won't be able to protect you."

"Some of the restrictions within the ancient ruins are still effective today."

Listen to this.

Zhou Ping nodded. He had originally planned to leave the country and ascend the throne in South Africa. As for the ancient ruins, he could only suppress the idea of ​​exploring them for now. He did not linger any longer.

He quickly left Kyoto and returned to Jiangcheng with Jiang Xia.

At this time, Captain Wu and his team have already headed to the space ship.

"Jiang Xia, I'm going to South Africa to do some work. Do you want to continue following me, or return to the spaceship to practice?"

Zhou Ping asked.

Jiang Xia had been feeling depressed the entire way. After witnessing the strength of the lizard bones, she felt despair. "Zhou Ping, is there no other solution from the Special Department or the country?"

Zhou Ping understood what Jiang Xia meant. He sighed and said, "No, you have witnessed the power of the Guigu Sect. No one can match them. No matter what happens in the country, you and I will be powerless to stop it."

"And this is just a Guigu Sect."

Jiang Xia clenched her fists, her heroic face filled with reluctance and helplessness. "I'm too weak, Zhou Ping. Are you safe?"

"Don't worry, there will be no problem. The strong man from Guigu Sect has possessed the remains of the lizard and will not come to deal with me again."

"In that case, I'm going to go to the spaceship to train!"

"it is good!"

"You, you have to take care of yourself, you have to protect yourself, I..."

Jiang Xia wanted to say something but stopped.

Zhou Ping saw the reluctance in her eyes. They had always been inseparable. Although their feelings for each other had not yet been broken, they had long been no different from a real couple. He smiled and said, "You should know that I have a high level of authority in the Taiyan Sect, so I can enter the Antarctic spacecraft at any time."

Hear this.

Jiang Xia breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "Okay, I'll be leaving first."

Watching his back as he walked away.

Zhou Ping was in a heavy mood. This time he was only forced to leave Jiangcheng and leave the country, but if the seal of the earth was broken, he would really have to leave his hometown and wander in the universe.

……

Two hours later.

South Africa.

The original mining area.

Zhou Ping met Captain America Nabison, the Sword Flower Queen and the Sea Devil Gentleman.

These three top foundation-building masters already knew what happened in Kyoto, China. "Zhou Ping, what on earth is that powerful person who suddenly appeared?"

"They are just some monsters left in the ruins of our country, and they are at the Nascent Soul level."

The three of them were dumbfounded when they heard this.

"Ningying? Zhou Ping, you are not kidding."

Zhou Ping said with a cold face, "Do I look like I'm kidding? If it weren't for Ning Ying, would I have left my hometown in China and come to South Africa?"

The Silver-Haired Sword Flower Queen couldn't help but ask, "You've fought that monster before. Could it be that you're also a Nascent Soul expert?"

Captain America and the Sea Devil Gentleman both looked at Zhou Ping.

They all knew what was happening over Kyoto, after all, all the powerful countries had satellites.

Zhou Ping said, "I just used some of my trump cards. You saw it too. The monster didn't even bother to attack me. It just used its aura to knock me away."

"Now all of China has fallen into the hands of the Guigu Sect. You'd better pray that the monster doesn't go to other countries."

Captain America's heart sank.

"All right."

"You still have to fulfill our contract. Also, have you completely taken control of South Africa?"

Zhou Ping asked.

The Sea Devil gentleman said hurriedly, "Don't worry, we have it under control. And with the three of us here, no one dares to cause trouble."

Zhou Ping hummed, "Alright, I plan to ascend the throne in South Africa tomorrow and proclaim myself emperor. I'll name my country Han. You must immediately announce this news to the entire world. Humph, even if that old monster can occupy our Chinese territory, he won't be able to get everyone to work for him!"

Captain America, Sword Flower Queen, and Sea Devil Gentleman looked at each other and suddenly realized that, indeed, under the current circumstances, establishing a new country in South Africa would quickly attract many people. Now they knew why Zhou Ping had to seize territory abroad. He must have known the strength and purpose of the Guigu Sect for a long time.

It has to be said that the sudden emergence of the Guigu Sect has indeed caused a stir around the world. Now, except for China, the situation in other countries has already become a mess. Although it is still maintained on the surface, the practitioners who have risen in secret are fighting endlessly with the interest groups, and some are even directly controlled by the practitioners. The fighting between practitioners abroad has gradually become fierce. After all, without the constraints of rules, many evil deeds will be exposed.

Therefore, the three major groups wiped out the core figures of the Special Department, Director Wang and Director Peng, with lightning speed, which shocked many people. But then Zhou Ping wiped out Qin Bing and Lei Jiming, which directly made many domestic interest groups, and even the two major Taoist academies, and various springing up cultivation forces completely unable to see the situation clearly.

But no matter how chaotic it was, the information about the strength of Guigu Sect spread at a hurricane speed throughout the country and the world. When they learned that there was a powerful person at the Nascent Soul level standing behind Guigu Sect, almost all interest groups were shocked.

And after the shock comes fear and anxiety.

Before the rise of cultivators, many powerful interest groups could still barely control them. It was just a matter of bleeding some blood. As long as they were won over, they wouldn't have too many security problems. But now a Nascent Soul suddenly appeared. He was a terrifying powerhouse who could easily destroy a Foundation Establishment cultivator. In front of such a person, all their methods were useless, so these people panicked.

Just under two hours.

The two major Taoist temples, hundreds of cultivation companies, and various cultivation studios that offer courses have all contacted the three major groups, but the three major groups are also in chaos now.

However, at ten o'clock at night.

The wife of Lei Jiming, the former leader of the three major groups, stood up and quickly gained the support of the two major Taoist academies, becoming the representative of the Guigu Sect. She also held a press conference to publicize that the Guigu Sect did not want to occupy a dominant position, everything was still operating as before, and the top management had not been replaced.

Although many people do not believe it, facing the powerful Guigu Sect, everyone has no choice but to obey.

And it was past midnight.

Captain America, Sword Flower Queen, and Sea Demon Gentleman, three top foundation-building masters, also held a press conference in South Africa, and Zhou Ping attended.

Although these press conferences are mostly held overseas, they still attracted huge attention.

"The Guigu Sect has wicked ambitions. Their goal isn't just to occupy China, but to conquer the world and unearth the treasures left by our ancestors... As for the origins of the Guigu Sect, I believe everyone witnessed the scene in Kyoto yesterday. The Guigu Sect aren't human at all. Their main members are evil creatures, and their leader is a monster."

"Remember the Fushan female slave case that shocked the nation? The Guigu Sect was the mastermind behind it. In the eyes of these evil creatures, ordinary people, including cultivators, are nothing more than slaves and ants, and the three major groups are aiding and abetting them. To continue the bloodline of China, a nation with a splendid civilization, and to stop the Guigu Sect, I will ascend the throne in South Africa today and proclaim myself emperor. The name of my country will be Han!"
