Blood Emperor: Everlasting Power

Village Head Wang's expression changed drastically as he, along with the Nine-Headed Snake Bai and the Yellow-Skinned Imp, entered a state of continuous bleeding. Above the cliff, a woman dressed in splendid attire began to walk forward. With each step she took, it seemed as though she was stepping into thin air, but as her foot touched down, ice flowers would form beneath her feet, supporting her weight. Step by step, she moved forward, creating a trail of flowers with each step she took. Although she was still some distance away, Lin Tianhao had already identified her. Princess Leona! In the current Novice Village, only the princess from the Starry Kingdom could achieve such a feat.

"Esteemed Princess Leona, you have arrived?" Village Head Wang, who had previously been aggressive, now wore a friendly smile as he greeted Princess Leona.

Princess Leona glanced coldly at Village Head Wang. "I am well aware of what you intend to do."

Upon hearing this, Village Head Wang was taken aback for a moment before he laughed and said, "Princess Leona, since you already know, you should also be aware of my admiration for you."

"Why be so insincere?" Princess Leona sneered. "You think you have everything under control, but have you ever considered that I could kill you?"

Village Head Wang's eyes narrowed, and he shrugged. "Great Princess Leona, you certainly can kill me, but after you do, have you thought about how you will leave this place?"

"Your ambition won't let you be content with being trapped in the Novice Village."

Princess Leona sneered again. "That is none of your concern. I have my plans."

As she finished speaking, a chill spread out from Princess Leona. Village Head Wang's expression changed dramatically.

"Overbearing, Dominant Body, Broken Wing Dance!"

In an instant, Village Head Wang activated three skills simultaneously, and a pair of tattered wings appeared behind him. With a flap of his wings, he flew towards the cliff above. Princess Leona raised her hand, and a massive ice formation appeared above Village Head Wang. Immediately, countless ice spikes rained down from the formation.

-15,928.

-15,929.

...

A series of damage numbers appeared, and just from this one formation, over a million health points were drained from Village Head Wang. It was terrifying!

Lin Tianhao had thought Princess Leona might be quite powerful, but the extent of her power still exceeded his imagination. No wonder Village Head Wang had started to flee without hesitation as soon as he realised she was about to attack.

At that moment, Village Head Wang in the sky changed direction and continued to flee. The Nine-Headed Snake Bai and the Yellow-Skinned Imp both struck out, attempting to delay Princess Leona. In just a breath's time, these two powerful bosses were frozen solid.

Princess Leona raised her hand again. An ice shield appeared behind Village Head Wang, and the shield forcefully pressed him down. After breaking free from the ice shield, Village Head Wang stopped running and coldly stared at Princess Leona.

"Go ahead and kill me. If you can kill me, I accept it."

Princess Leona did not strike again. Lin Tianhao quickly understood the situation. Village Head Wang was no longer an NPC; he was a wild boss. Wild bosses had a characteristic: after being killed, they would respawn, in other words, they would come back to life. Lin Tianhao had killed the Nine-Headed Snake Bai and the Yellow-Skinned Imp before, but they had still appeared here. It was because of the resurrection!

"Why not kill me? If you're not going to kill me, then why don't you listen to what I have to say?"

Village Head Wang gradually calmed down. "I want to marry you and become the future king of the Starry Kingdom."

Princess Leona's aura immediately became agitated, and the temperature around her dropped significantly. "Don't rush to get angry. We can have a mutually beneficial arrangement."

"You've been away from the Starry Kingdom for so long. If you go back suddenly, no one will be able to help you."

"But if you marry me, I can assist you."

"I am a wild monster and an NPC, but the key is that I have received a Blessing of the Gods, which allows me to level up and grow just like an adventurer."

Upon hearing the words "level up and grow," Princess Leona, who had been calm, was visibly moved. For NPCs and wild monsters, there was generally a limit: they could not break through their current constraints and continue to become stronger.

Lin Tianhao, seeing Princess Leona's reaction, inwardly sighed. If Princess Leona agreed to his proposal, he would not be able to obtain his second Blessing of the Gods. Lin Tianhao had gone through so much effort precisely for the Blessing of the Gods.

"A helper who can grow and can resurrect infinitely, how much help he can be to you in the future when you compete for the throne in the Starry Kingdom, I think you understand."

Lin Tianhao had to admit that, from a purely interest-based perspective, the conditions Village Head Wang proposed were very tempting.

"Alas, it seems there is no chance now," Lin Tianhao sighed inwardly.

However, Princess Leona's next words gave Lin Tianhao hope once again.

"I think I have many potential partners to choose from, such as Blood Emperor!"

Village Head Wang's pupils contracted, and he said in a deep voice, "He is, after all, an adventurer. Whether he will be loyal in the future is very uncertain."

"No."

Princess Leona shook her head. "I am not planning to marry him, but to give him a quest."

"Blood Emperor, are you willing to support me in becoming the next king of the Starry Kingdom? If you can help me ascend to the throne, I will build three thousand temples for you, making you a war god in my kingdom!"

Lin Tianhao's face showed a look of disbelief. In the late stages of Twilight of the Gods, ordinary attack power and magic strength were no longer sufficient. The top-tier individuals were all pursuing divinity. The first step to becoming a god was to have enough divine power, also known as believers' faith. Princess Leona's words were very clear. She intended to build temples to honour Lin Tianhao, allowing him to receive the divine power of their kingdom.

"Ding, Princess Leona has issued a quest to you."

"Quest requirement: Help her become the next king of the Starry Kingdom."

"Quest punishment: Unknown."

"Quest reward: She will enshrine you as a war god and build three thousand temples for you."

"Accept!"

Lin Tianhao had no reason to refuse. In his previous life, countless strong individuals had tried to become gods, but most of them failed because of the difficulty in obtaining divine power. It was extremely challenging to gain divine power.

"Princess Leona, even so, how do you plan to leave the Novice Village?" Upon hearing this, Princess Leona's gaze fell on the Yin-Yang double fish array.

"It's simple. Release the mummy, and he will naturally break the spatial barrier. We can leave by following him."

Village Head Wang roared in frustration, "Leona, you're out of your mind! Do you have any idea what kind of impact releasing the mummy will have?"
