Chapter 848: Chapter 845: Avalanche Shock, Xu Ran's Strength_1
"Haha. Princess Xue Ke, do you think you are more noble than me?"
"I bet it's you and Xu Ran who want the throne, which is why you threatened father to pass it on to you. Haha, am I right? What are you pretending for in front of me?"
Xue Ke's evil glare was filled with venom as he spoke.
"How could you think like that?" Princess Xue Ke looked back at Xue Ke mournfully, her delicate body trembling, feeling immensely heartbroken. She had never thought about becoming the Empress; she had never considered taking the throne.
"Otherwise, what? I am the only Prince under Father's knees. I am the future emperor, so why would he pass the throne to you? Who would believe you didn't play tricks?" Xue Ke said fiercely to Xue Ke.
"I really didn't," Princess Xue Ke said, gently shaking her head.
She was somewhat exhausted.
"Then tell Xu Ran to give me the throne, and not to interfere with the affairs of the Tiandou Empire. Do you hear me?" Xue Ke roared in anger.
"Xue Ke, you're courting death." A murderous flash passed through Xu Ran's eyes as he swept his palm, sending Xue Ke flying.
What right did Xue Ke have to yell at his woman?
Just because he is Princess Xue Ke's brother?
What right did a patricidal man have to be Princess Xue Ke's brother?
"Don't be sad. From now on, I am here; no one will be able to hurt you. If anyone dares to lay a finger on you, they'll have to step over my dead body first," Xu Ran said seriously as he held Princess Xue Ke in his arms.
He reached out to wipe the tear from the corner of Princess Xue Ke's eye.
"Xu Ran, father he..." Princess Xue Ke hugged Xu Ran, weeping.
"I know it all. From now on, you are the Empress of the Tiandou Empire. As for your father, I will resurrect him later," Xu Ran said thoughtfully. Once Princess Xue Ke ascended, even if Emperor Xue Ye was resurrected, he could only serve as the Supreme Emperor.
Conveniently, all the forces of Soul Land would be under the control of his woman.
This way, no one would dare oppose his push to make Soul Land into a federation.
"Really?" Princess Xue Ke's tearful eyes were filled with longing as she looked up at Xu Ran. She didn't yet know that Xu Ran had the power to resurrect the dead. As for Ah Rou's resurrection, Xu Ran hadn't told anyone else about it.
"Of course it's true. To others, death is final, but don't you know? Your husband is capable of anything," Xu Ran said as he stroked Princess Xue Ke's long hair.
However, he wouldn't resurrect Emperor Xue Ye for the time being; he would wait until he entered the Divine Realm to do so.
Actually, whether Emperor Xue Ye was alive or not made no difference to him.
But having resurrected Ah Rou, if he didn't help Princess Xue Ke, she would blame him later on.
"Okay. I believe you," Princess Xue Ke said with an overwhelmingly beautiful and enchanting smile.
She might not believe others, but Xu Ran was her husband. Anyone could deceive her, but Xu Ran wouldn't.
"That's more like it," Xu Ran said, feeling a warmth in his heart upon seeing Princess Xue Ke's smiling face. As long as they were happy, he was willing to do anything.
"Xu Ran, you will die!"
"I am the Emperor of the Tiandou Empire, how dare you lay a hand on me? Have you lost your mind?"
Xue Ke stood up from the ground, his body wracked with intense pain.
As a Prince, when had he ever been subject to such humiliation? And now he was even the Emperor of the Tiandou Empire.
"Emperor? As long as I don't recognize you as the emperor, you are nothing," Xu Ran said indifferently. Originally, if Xue Ke was willing to pledge loyalty and treat Princess Xue Ke better, he might have been able to inherit the throne.
After all, he was Princess Xue Ke's brother.
But now, there was no chance.
"Haha. Xu Ran, who do you think you are? This is the Tiandou Empire, my territory. Although you are an unprecedented genius and have some strength, is it really as much as they say? The rumors say you're even stronger than a Titled Douluo. Could you really be that powerful?"
"You are not older than me, how could you be so strong?? The rumors are too ridiculous; I'm afraid you've been almost raised to the skies," Xue Ke said with a sneer.
He couldn't believe Xu Ran was that powerful.
When Xu Ran was in the Tiandou Empire before, his strength was not that great.
How could there be such a huge change in just one or two years?
Even if he had taken some divine medicine, it still couldn't have made such a big difference, right?
Rumors are just rumors. That's how "Three men make a tiger" comes about.
"All of you, attack and kill them all. I am the ruler of a nation. Xu Ran, you cannot steal my empire. Don't think that just because you're with Xue Ke you have the chance to snatch my throne. Xue Ke is just a Princess, stop dreaming about seizing my throne through her."
The soldiers around him listened to Xue Ye's words with doubts and uncertainties.
They looked at Xu Ran and felt their scalps tingle.
What Xu Ran had just displayed had left a profound influence on them, filling them with fear.
If they were to attack Xu Ran, it would definitely be suicidal.
A group of men had previously attacked Xu Ran, and then with a wave of his hand, not even their bodies remained.
"You all, attack! A bunch of trash."
Xue Ye, seeing no one rush forward, felt an immense anger.
As an emperor of a generation, couldn't he even command his army anymore?
"They don't dare to."
Xu Ran looked around indifferently. All the soldiers lowered their heads.
Against a person, they might have resisted. Against a god, it would be a senseless death to challenge him.
"My strength is beyond your reach. Although the Tiandou Empire is strong, it's not that important in my eyes," Xu Ran stepped forward, walking toward Xue Ye.
With each step, the aura emanating from Xu Ran intensified.
By the time he stood in front of Xue Ye, Xu Ran's aura had reached its zenith.
Xue Ye's face turned pale with fright as he lay on the ground, retreating continuously at the sight of Xu Ran.
"No. How can you be so strong, Xu Ran?"
"Could it be that the rumors are all true?"
"Impossible. You're so young. You're even younger than me."
Xue Ye was stunned.
He looked at Xu Ran in shock, and in an instant, Xu Ran's presence made him come to a realization.
Looking at Xu Ran, it was as if he were facing a high and mighty god, superior to any mortal.
In that moment, sensing Xu Ran's strength, he finally understood.
He finally understood why his father, the Emperor, wanted to pass the throne to Xue Ke.
Because Xu Ran was no longer just a genius, but his strength had reached the highest pinnacle; Xu Ran was an unparalleled powerful being. Therefore, that's why the Emperor had decided to pass the throne to Xue Ke, to curry favor with Xu Ran.
In an instant, Xue Ye understood many things.
Seeing Xu Ran's strength, everything that previously didn't make sense to him now became clear.
Xu Ran's strength had already reached the pinnacle of this world. Such a person wouldn't covet this so-called worldly power. Thus, even if the throne were passed to Xue Ke, it wouldn't affect the future of the Tiandou Empire.
"So that's how it is; I understand now, although it's a bit late." Xue Ye collapsed on the ground, his crimson tears flowing down his cheeks. Now he regretted it.
Xu Ran was too powerful, and he had wanted to call upon the army to kill him. But the army dared not lay a hand on Xu Ran. The aura that Xu Ran exuded was too terrifying; no one dared to seek death.
Those battle-hardened soldiers were not afraid to die, but that did not mean they were willing to die without purpose.
