Great Tang: From the Start, I Devour Dragon Energy, and Li Er Is Stunned

[Tang dynasty + deposed crown prince + invincible devourer + extreme face-slapping + crushing the greatest emperor of all time]

The seventeenth year of Zhenguan.

His right leg has been rotten for twelve years. The imperial physicians shake their heads, his father watches with cold eyes, and Prince Wei Li Tai sits high above him, smiling as he waits for him to die.

Lying on a broken bed in the Eastern Palace, Li Chengqian has lost all hope.

[Ding! Devouring System activated! Host in critical condition. Survival rate: 3.7%... Beginning devour!]

That night, the deposed crown prince, crippled for twelve years, stood up.

As Li Chengqian strides steadily into the Taiji Hall

Li Tai’s smile suddenly freezes!

Li Shimin’s hands shake violently!

The entire court stares in stunned silence!

“Esteemed ministers, my leg is healed. What... are you afraid of?”

[Devour sickness]: Heal thirty-seven people in the Eastern Palace with a wave of his hand and win the hearts of every death warrior in a single night!

[Devour resentment]: See through the loyalty and treachery of the court at a glance, making every official kneel and dare not meet his eyes!

[Devour murderous aura]: Ride alone to the Western Regions and break a formation of ten thousand, making the kings of every nation surrender at the mere sound of his name!

[Devour literary aura]: Produce three timeless master plans in seven days, crushing the court’s renowned ministers with overwhelming superiority!

As for the highest power of all, [Dragon Aura], he simply smiles and waves it away.

“What kind of true dragon needs to steal the Dragon Aura?”

“I want heaven and earth to offer it to me with both hands. I want the people to bow before me. And I want Father... to kneel and beg me to ascend the throne!”

Three years later, at the abdication ceremony.

The greatest emperor of all time walks down thirty-six steps, removes his imperial crown, and kneels at his eldest son’s feet, presenting him with the imperial seal.

“Your Majesty... please ascend the throne!”

Li Chengqian looks down at the father who once stood above everyone and smiles calmly.

“You’re too kind, Father. Just call me... Crown Prince.”

[Ding! System evaluation: SSS rank! The highest in history!]

[Farewell, Your Majesty!]
