BXBX NOVEL Chapter 429: What Is This Man...?
Margarete looked at the mysteriously dangerous old man as she activated the Azure Lord's eye.
She was attempting to discern something about this wizened old man; however, as soon as she activated her eye, everything went dark, as blood soon started to drip down her pretty face!
"!?!?" Margarete closed her cyan-colored eyes in shock, as she knew she would go blind if she stared any longer.
'What the hell was that!?' She thought with a bewildered look on her face.
Not once had anything even close to that ever happened when she used the Azure God's eye!
And there was even a time when she used her eye to scan the existence of the Great Leviathan!
'What is this man?' She questioned with one of her bloodied eyes staring up at the 'friendly expression' that the old man was making.
"...."
A deafening hush fell over the skies, as no one knew what to say after such a display.
Every single Mahayana Realm Expert started to fear for their lives, as they had never seen anything so inexplicable in their entire lives!
Dozens of Late and Peak Mahayana Realm Experts dead! Just like that! No struggle or resistance!
Even their life-saving defenses, capable of fending off Half-Step Lunar Ascendancy Realm Experts, were rendered obsolete in the face of this mysterious old man!
"..." "..." "..."
All of them suddenly had a change of heart, as they completely resisted the idea of going against the old man.
And just as one of them was about to speak up, the silence was broken by the old man with a demon's tail attached to his tailbone.
"You know, I wasn't asking for your permission. I will do what I want, regardless of what you think. I was simply being nice to the people I would soon Lord over," Azmond announced with a dry tone, his ferocious gaze traveling over all of the experts.
He was already planning on quilling any resistances against his inevitable reign as this identity, and if these 'Experts' were adamant on getting in his way, then he'd just exterminate them and be done with it.
All of the remaining Mahayana Realm Experts seemed to understand his intent, as the majority of them turned their heads down out of fear of looking at the mysterious old man the wrong way.
However, it seemed like not everyone was so cowardly, as Marina's mother decided to speak up and say, "To do what you are proposing, you will need to bring this matter up with the absolute rulers of Asterion.
Which includes the thirty-eight different Emperor's and the secret organization rulers, such as the Hidden Lotus Syndicate."
Margarete went on to inform Azmond of all the steps he would have to go through to make his wishes come to reality.
It was almost like she was all for the idea of a sudden switch of ruling powers
And in fact, she was.
After all, her daughter and granddaughters were being played around with under the Half-Step Lunar Ascendancy Realm Ruler's.
Margarete was not strong enough to help them herself, so if this mysterious old man was wanting to rule over everything, then she was willing to give her support!
With the unquestionable strength he just displayed, she no longer doubted whether this old man truly was in the '2nd Star of the Lunar Ascendancy Realm'.
She had no idea what that realm implied, and neither did Azmond, but she was confident that his strength had already surpassed the Half-Step Lunar Ascendancy Realm.
And that was all she needed to renew her confidence in his ability.
Now, all she had to do was get on his good side before bringing up the matter of her daughter and granddaughters.
In a matter of a few milliseconds, Margarete had already decided to defect from the side of the Celestial Academy Elders, as she jumped ship!
Azmond listened to Marina's mom with rapt attention, as he basically got the rundown of the situation in Asterion.
Although there were only 34 emperors left after he killed the Water God Emperor and a few others, there were still enough left over that he needed to persuade the rest of them.
Margarete had also informed him that it was unadvisable to kill off all of the ruling forces, as he would still need their support if he wished to effectively rule over Asterion without turning it into a savage battlefield.
Azmond understood this point, so he agreed with not killing off all of the powerful rulers, only the annoying ones!
That was the least he could do for the people of Asterion.
After all, they would soon be made into remote exp grinders that would hunt out in the Starry Expanse for him!
A few seconds passed.
Azmond had essentially figured out everything he wanted to know from Margarete, and in the middle of his conversation with her, he had received a few system notifications.
*Ding!* *You have killed twenty-five cultivators in the Late and Peak Stages of Mahayana*
*Ding!* *You have gained experience +8,600,000M*

*Ding!* *You have gained experience +6,200,000M*
*Ding!* *You have gained experience +9,250,000M*
*Ding!... You*
After the experience acquisition notifications came in, the gold notifications soon followed.
And after a level up or two from the quest notifications, Azmond received the system notifications he got from Emu devouring what remained of their existence's.
A few bright blue and gold lights flashed.
BLING!
