548: Cleanup Plan! Liberate the Vast Immortal Realm!

Empress Cangqiong walked towards her opponent step by step, each step causing the Void Realm to tremble.

"And my power was exchanged for the future."

She raised her hand, and a star condensed in her palm, emitting a destructive aura.

"Be destroyed!"

The star fell.

Boom!

The Eerie Immortal Emperor's body shattered inch by inch in the starlight, turning into a sky full of black mist that dispersed with the wind.

A Late Stage Immortal Emperor Realm powerhouse thus met his demise.

Between heaven and earth, peace was restored.

Empress Cangqiong slowly landed, the power of the stars on her body beginning to dissipate.

Her face was as pale as paper, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth.

"Cang Qiong!"

Jian Lingtian and Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor rushed over simultaneously, supporting her.

"I'm fine."

Empress Cangqiong shook her head.

Her voice was very soft, and the starlight in her eyes was gradually dimming.

Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor examined her body, and his expression became extremely grim.

"Your Origin... almost completely burned out."

"I know."

Empress Cangqiong smiled.

Jian Lingtian was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.

Afterward, he looked in Su Ming's direction.

"Young Friend Su, please take Cang Qiong back to rest. Leave this place to us."

Seeing this, Su Ming nodded.

Then, he took Empress Cangqiong and left the Eerie Immortal Dynasty... One month later!

Sacred Heaven Sect, Serene Heart Palace.

On the jade bed in the center of the Serene Heart Palace.

Empress Cangqiong lay there quietly, her face pale to the point of transparency, her breathing weak.

She was covered by a layer of faint golden aura; that was Su Qingyuan exerting the power of the Xuantian Glazed Saint Body.

"Su Ming, her Origin is too severely depleted."

"I need at least three months to stabilize her injuries."

Fine beads of sweat seeped from Su Qingyuan's forehead, her voice trembling slightly.

"Three months?"

Su Ming frowned.

"Yes."

Su Qingyuan bit her lip.

"And this is just to stabilize it. To fully restore her Origin might take decades or even a century."

Su Ming was silent for a moment, then got up and walked to the jade bed.

Empress Cangqiong's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Those eyes, once as brilliant as stars, were now dim and lifeless.

"Don't waste your strength."

Her voice was soft, yet still carried that aloof tone.

"Burning out my Origin was my own choice."

"Although the Xuantian Glazed Saint Body can restore it, prolonged use will also cause you great harm."

"Shut up."

Su Ming rarely used such a commanding tone.

"You saved everyone; now it's our turn to save you."

Empress Cangqiong was startled, then a barely perceptible curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"You kid, someone who didn't know would think you were an Immortal Emperor."

Su Qingyuan watched their interaction and continued to activate the power of her Sacred Body.

The golden light emitted by the Xuantian Glazed Saint Body grew brighter and brighter.

Strands of pure life Origin slowly flowed from her palm into Empress Cangqiong's body.

One year later!

After a year of recuperation, Empress Cangqiong had now returned to normal.

Although Empress Cangqiong appeared fine on the surface, the damage to her Star Sacred Body Origin had not improved.

At this moment, Su Ming and Su Qingyuan realized the seriousness of the problem.

Su Ming had thought that Su Qingyuan's Xuantian Glazed Saint Body could help Empress Cangqiong recover.

But now it seemed that the Xuantian Glazed Saint Body had almost no repair effect on a Sacred Body.

Empress Cangqiong's situation had completely exceeded that of Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor.

Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor's Foundation was damaged during his Breakthrough back then.

Just then.

Footsteps came from outside the palace.

The voice of Sacred Heaven Sect's Grand Elder rang out.

"Young Friend, the Sect Master has returned. Please come to the main hall for a meeting."

"Understood!"

As the words fell, Su Ming walked out the door... Sacred Heaven Sect, Main Hall!

"Su Ming, how is Cang Qiong's condition?"

Su Ming shook his head, his expression dejected.

"Su Qingyuan is also helpless about the damage to the Star Sacred Body."

"Alas!"

"If not for Cang Qiong this time, we would all have died there."

"That bastard Nine Heavens, in the end, probably didn't expect to be devoured by the Eerie Clan himself."

Immediately after, Su Ming inquired about the situation of the Eerie Immortal Dynasty.

Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor got straight to the point.

"The Eerie Immortal Dynasty has been completely removed from the Vast Immortal Domain."

"What about resources?"

"All confiscated."

Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor waved his hand, and a Storage Ring appeared in his palm.

"The heritage that the Eerie Immortal Dynasty managed for tens of thousands of years is all here."

He handed the Storage Ring to Su Ming.

"These are all yours."

Su Ming didn't take it but looked at Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor.

"This was the Eerie Immortal Emperor you jointly killed; the resources should be equally divided."

"Equally divided?"

Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor smiled.

"Su Ming, if you hadn't helped me Breakthrough to the Immortal Emperor Realm back then, I would have died at the hands of Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor long ago."

"This life is yours, let alone these worldly possessions?"

"Moreover, our old men's talents are limited; it's already not easy to Breakthrough to Immortal Emperor."

"To go further on this Immortal Emperor Dao is as difficult as ascending to heaven."

"Right now, nurturing you is the top priority."

Su Ming looked deeply at the other party, then finally accepted the Storage Ring.

The next moment, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Immortal Crystals piled up like mountains, and various Heaven And Earth Treasures were dazzling.

"I'll remember this favor."

"Hahaha, saying that makes you sound like a stranger!"

Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor patted Su Ming's shoulder.

"Oh right, after you left, Jian Lingtian and I also discussed something."

"At this time, Jian Lingtian also agreed with my approach."

Su Ming's eyes narrowed.

"What approach?"

"Cleanse the Vast Immortal Domain and reclaim resources!"

A cold glint flashed in Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor's eyes.

"It's time to reclaim the Vast Immortal Domain from the control of the Eerie Clan."

"Those Sects that secretly colluded with the Eerie Clan should also pay the price."

"Once Tidal and the other return, we will officially begin executing the plan."

...Three months later!

Two powerful auras came from outside the palace.

Rumble!

The palace doors were pushed open, and two figures walked in side by side.

The leading woman wore a blue dress, surrounded by tidal currents of water, and with each step, waves blossomed in the Void Realm.

Tidal Empress.

"Sacred Heaven, we're back."

Tidal Empress's voice was cold and clear.

Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor laughed and stood up.

"Hahaha, it seems you two also succeeded!"

"You've returned at just the right time; Jian Lingtian and I have been waiting for you two."

Immediately after, he briefly recounted the matter of Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor.

Then he laid out his plan.

"Cleanse the Eerie Clan?"

After hearing this, Tidal Empress frowned slightly.

She was well aware of the consequences of cleansing the Eerie Clan in the Vast Immortal Domain.

"Alas!"

Jian Lingtian sighed deeply.

"We have no other choice!"

"From the current situation, no matter what we do, we cannot stop the invasion of the Eerie Clan's main forces."

"Since that's the case, why don't we go all out and improve our overall strength?"

...
