21: Welcoming the Empress Back to Court

Meng Tian did not strike immediately, waiting for the Prison Suppressing Army and the Heavenly Hero Star Luan Army to evacuate the battlefield.

Qin Fan did not act rashly either, but was instead adapting to the terrifying power surging within his body.

The Aura of the two continued to climb, eventually reaching a suffocating height.

Suddenly, Qin Fan gave a furious shout, and the long sword in his hand erupted with a brilliant and dazzling light.

A ten-thousand-foot Sword Gang that pierced through heaven and earth instantly took shape, carrying an Aura that could destroy everything as it slashed down fiercely toward Meng Tian.

"Taking my woman? Break for me!"

This sword strike carried his overwhelming fury and was further empowered by the Great Emperor Remnant Soul; its power was infinite, enough to easily slay an ordinary Quasi-Emperor expert.

However, facing this earth-shaking sword strike, Meng Tian only slowly raised the ten thousand miles town mountain sword and spoke indifferently: "Town Mountain — Ten Thousand Miles of Level Plains."

There were no flashy Moves, no earth-shaking Aura; he merely pointed the tip of the sword downward and pressed lightly.

In an instant, the world lost its color, and the sun and moon lost their light.

Centered on the tip of the ten thousand miles town mountain sword, an indescribable, terrifying Aura erupted.

It wasn't an energy shockwave, but an unimaginably extreme 'Force'.

It was the supreme power that carried ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers and suppressed the earth's Dragon Veins.

Qin Fan's seemingly invincible ten-thousand-foot Sword Gang couldn't even stir a single ripple before this power.

Starting from the sword tip, it shattered inch by inch, finally turning into starlight that filled the sky and vanished without a trace.

"What?" Qin Fan's pupils constricted, his face full of disbelief.

The Great Emperor Remnant Soul within his body let out a terrified cry: "Impossible! This is the Earth Vein Power, how can he mobilize it?"

Immediately after, the Great Emperor Remnant Soul shouted in terror: "Qin Fan, run!"

"This man is no ordinary sixth-level Quasi-Emperor; his combat power is already infinitely close to a Great Emperor. We are no match for him!"

Hearing this, Qin Fan trembled in fear and didn't dare to stay for a moment, turning to flee into the distance.

But no matter how fast he was, he could not match the speed of Meng Tian's attack.

That terrifying 'Force' instantly swept across ten thousand miles around the Qingyun Sect.

From ten thousand miles away, Su Ying, Xiao Die, as well as the retreating Prison Suppressing Army and Heavenly Hero Star Luan Army, all witnessed this unforgettable scene.

There was no loud noise, no explosion, only an invisible power sweeping across.

The Qingyun Mountain Range stretching for ten thousand miles below, along with the ruined buildings, the mountain-like piles of corpses, the flowing rivers of blood, and the frantically fleeing Qin Fan—everything sank in an instant.

This was not a collapse, but a pulverization, as if an invisible giant hand had forcibly pressed ten thousand miles of the Qingyun Sect deep into the ground.

Dust rose into the sky but was confined underground by an invisible force.

When the dust slowly settled, the ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers where the Qingyun Sect once stood had disappeared, replaced by a bottomless ten-thousand-foot pit.

The rocks, flesh, and remnant Souls within the pit were all turned to ash, vanishing without a trace.

Meng Tian stood in the air above the center of the vast pit, his expression cold and stern, the light of the ten thousand miles town mountain sword in his hand restrained, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with it.

He swept his Divine Sense across the vast pit below, confirming three times that there was no breath of life before slowly sheathing his sword.

Then, with one step, he had already arrived ten thousand miles away in front of the two armies.

Within the Heavenly Hero Star Luan Army, the sound of swallowing could be heard one after another.

Everyone looked at Meng Tian as if they were looking at a monster.

This was a territory of ten thousand miles, and it was simply erased like that.

If Meng Tian was already this powerful, then how unfathomable must Your Majesty be.

For a moment, Di Yan's image in everyone's hearts became increasingly majestic and terrifying.

Lu Xueqi froze on the spot, her face full of daze.

Qin Fan had a Great Emperor teacher backing him; how could he die just like that?

She stared in the direction where Qin Fan had disappeared for a long time, unable to snap out of it until Meng Tian's voice rang out.

"Prison Suppressing Army, hear my command: Welcome Her Ladyship back to court!"

"Yes!"

As the soldiers responded, Lu Xueqi watched the vast pit get further and further away, and the tears in her eyes finally couldn't help but burst forth.

Not long after Meng Tian led the army away, the Divine Senses of countless experts swept over the pit.

"That fleeting Aura just now seemed to rival a Human Sovereign!"

"Just what kind of existence did this Qingyun Sect provoke to be wiped out so easily?"

"There is no life left within ten thousand miles; this is truly ruthless!"

After a while, the Divine Senses that found nothing gradually dispersed, and silence returned to the sky above the pit.

A few hours later.

A clump of spiritual light quietly emerged from the bottom of the pit; it was the Great Emperor Remnant Soul that had luckily survived.

He looked toward the direction Meng Tian had left and murmured with lingering fear: "The Five Evolutions True Realm is about to change; such a Prodigy-level Quasi-Emperor has actually appeared."

"If not for the protection of the Imperial Weapon, I'm afraid I would have truly suffered Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering."

Saying that, he turned his gaze toward the unconscious Qin Fan below.

Qin Fan's body was surrounded by a layer of eerie light, and a terrifying Aura was continuously emanating from within him.

"What is wrong with this kid? He seems to be undergoing some kind of transformation."

Just as he finished speaking, an Aura that made the Great Emperor Remnant Soul's Soul tremble flashed across Qin Fan's body.

His expression changed, his body shook, and he involuntarily knelt before Qin Fan.

"How is it possible? What... what happened to this kid?"

The Great Emperor Remnant Soul hurriedly used his Divine Sense to investigate, but found nothing.

Just at this moment.

Qin Fan slowly opened his eyes, the vicissitudes of time flashing through them for an instant, and a low sigh came from his mouth: "How many Reincarnations has it been? To think I've only just had an Awakening of my memories."

He slowly stood up and looked down at the kneeling Great Emperor Remnant Soul.

The Great Emperor Remnant Soul's face was full of terror; the moment he looked at Qin Fan, he seemed to see a supreme existence with his back to all living beings.

That figure's mere glance back almost caused his remnant Soul to collapse.

"Who... who are you?"

He was absolutely certain that the Qin Fan before him was no longer the Disciple who needed his guidance.

Qin Fan did not answer directly, but instead asked: "Do you want to restore your Physical Body and Peak strength?"

The Great Emperor Remnant Soul stared fixedly at Qin Fan and reacted instantly.

"You are a person of Reincarnation?"

Qin Fan remained silent, his tone suddenly becoming sharp: "Answer me!"

The Great Emperor Remnant Soul clenched his fists, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He was originally Qin Fan's teacher, but now the pressure originating from his Soul made him realize that it was absolutely impossible to order Qin Fan around as he had before.

He gritted his teeth and weighed his options for a moment; in the end, he couldn't resist the inner fear and the thirst for power, and said in a deep voice: "I do!"

Qin Fan nodded: "Open your mind and let me control you."

The Great Emperor Remnant Soul hesitated for a long time but eventually chose to obey, completely opening his mind.

Seeing this, Qin Fan raised his hand and formed a mysterious and unpredictable Hand Seal, pointing a finger at his forehead.

A moment later, feeling his control over the Great Emperor Remnant Soul, a trace of imperceptible relief flashed in Qin Fan's eyes.

Although he had an Awakening of his memories, his cultivation still needed to be Cultivated anew.

In other words, he currently had no way to deal with the Great Emperor Remnant Soul.

Being able to make the other party fear him was merely using a method from his past life to bluff.

The Great Emperor Remnant Soul noticed that the pressure on Qin Fan had disappeared and realized he had been tricked.

But now that he was controlled by Qin Fan, he could only choose to obey.

"Senior, what should we do next?" the Great Emperor Remnant Soul asked, suppressing the unwillingness in his heart.

Qin Fan looked in the direction Meng Tian had left, his voice cold: "First, I will help you restore your Physical Body and strength, then we head to the Dynasty!"

Compared to Cultivating to a Great Emperor himself, helping the Great Emperor Remnant Soul recover was much simpler.

Xueqi, don't worry. It won't be long before I definitely come to save you.

After saying that, he gestured to the Great Emperor Remnant Soul.

The Great Emperor Remnant Soul hurriedly turned into a streak of light and entered his body.

Qin Fan then turned around and left the ruins with the Great Emperor Remnant Soul.
