390: This is the destiny of the Great Qi Emperor!

Yan Yuzhu was very fortunate!

If Shen Tianxing had not returned in time, Yan Yuzhu's fate would surely have been the same as the twelve Imperial Rulers of the Great Qi Dynasty.

Fortunately, the backlash from the Imperial Dao Dragon Qi, in Shen Tianxing's view, had not yet reached the point where she would become sustenance.

Inside the Dragon Abyss Pool.

Yan Yuzhu sat cross-legged, a thin veil covering her, her skin like white jade exposed to the air, carrying a faint fragrance.

Her exquisite face, however, now showed a hint of pain, her head drenched in sweat, her face as pale as paper, devoid of color, her full lips dry and pallid, and even the Qi within her body flickered erratically.

As if she could lose her vitality at any moment!

Within the Dragon Abyss Pool, dragon roars echoed, and endless Imperial Dao Dragon Qi rapidly surged into her body. Yan Yuzhu was completely enveloped in golden light, circulating her cultivation to resist the invasion of the Imperial Dao Dragon Qi.

"Previous Imperial Rulers borrowed Dragon Qi and eventually nourished the Imperial Dao Dragon Qi with their bodies. Your Majesty underestimated the power of the Imperial Dao Dragon Qi here and is now suffering the backlash prematurely."

Yan Yuzhu's strength was formidable, her talent exceptional. When she was not injured, she could control the Imperial Dao Dragon Qi with her powerful cultivation, preventing immediate backlash.

But this time was different; she faced sixteen Heavenly Phenomenon Ninth Level Realm experts, fighting their Formation alone, and was already injured.

Coming here to use the Imperial Dao Dragon Qi in the Dragon Abyss Pool to heal her injuries, she inadvertently made things worse.

Pfft!!!

As she spoke, Yan Yuzhu, deep within the Dragon Abyss Pool, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!

Her aura was like a collapsing dam, and majestic Origin Qi poured out!

Innumerable small dragons formed by Imperial Dao Dragon Qi frantically devoured her; her True Essence and blood Qi were rapidly draining away!

Once her essence was exhausted, she would be completely devoured!

At that time, all that would be left here would be Yan Yuzhu's bones, meeting the same fate as her twelve ancestors!

Seeing this, Shen Tianxing moved, flashing directly into the Dragon Abyss Pool!

Roar!!!

His sudden intrusion was like adding fuel to a fire, making the surrounding Imperial Dao Dragon Qi even more overbearing!

Imperial Dao Dragon Qi is inherently unique to emperors. The Cultivation Technique Shen Tianxing cultivated was contrary to it, so he was naturally repelled by the Imperial Dao Dragon Qi!

He was like an intruder who disturbed the Dragon Qi's feeding, and was immediately attacked!

"Hmph!!"

"Even a true Dragon is fearless, let alone mere Dragon Qi?"

Shen Tianxing's figure entered the pool, and he placed a hand on Yan Yuzhu's back. The soft, conforming sensation was like the first time on the West Neighbor Mountain Range.

But this time, he had no time to admire it. He first quickly suppressed the chaotic Qi within her body with his own True Essence, then, facing the surging, endless Imperial Dao Dragon Qi, he raised his hand and struck out with a palm!

How could the might of a Golden Body Realm expert be resisted by the Imperial Dao Dragon Qi here? He directly dispersed the surrounding Dragon Qi.

The entire Dragon Abyss Pool was isolated by his aura, surrounded by ethereal mist. The Imperial Dao Dragon Qi had no power to resist the overbearing Shen Tianxing!

Yan Yuzhu's injuries rapidly recovered under the effect of Shen Tianxing's Divine Ability, the Azure Emperor Glazed Body Qi!

Her once turbulent True Essence quickly calmed down in the face of Shen Tianxing's powerful and overbearing True Essence.

The Azure Emperor Glazed Body Qi is a Divine Ability produced by Cultivating the Azure Emperor Glazed Body, capable of rapidly healing all injuries.

Since it was effective even for Shen Tianxing's cultivation, Yan Yuzhu's minor injuries were naturally no problem.

After the Dragon Abyss Pool was isolated by Shen Tianxing's aura, the Imperial Dao Dragon Qi could no longer backlash against Yan Yuzhu. Her injuries were rapidly healed, and she gradually awoke from her Chaos.

Yan Yuzhu felt that at some point, she had leaned against a strong arm. A familiar aura was behind her, with a warm temperature. Her whole body not only felt no discomfort but rather a sense of ease and comfort.

This familiar feeling made her feel that she could now shed all burdens, without having to think about anything.

Just enjoying this tranquility.

She wasn't worried at all that an outsider had intruded, because she knew who had come from this familiar aura.

Only he could enter!

After all, the only one who could allow an outsider to enter here was Xing Yao!

"You're awake."

Shen Tianxing's voice came from behind.

Yan Yuzhu waking up naturally couldn't escape his notice, but their current posture was too awkward!

The Empress of Great Qi, worshipped by millions, lying in my arms?

If the citizens of Great Qi knew, would they drown me with their spittle?

Shen Tianxing didn't feel like he was taking advantage of her; rather, he felt he was being taken advantage of!

"Don't speak, let me lean for a while."

Hmm?

Shen Tianxing was very surprised.

Were those Yan Yuzhu's words?

What did she mean by this!?

Forget it, she had just recovered from her injuries.

Feeling the softness in his arms, Shen Tianxing saw Yan Yuzhu's face up close for the first time.

Exquisite and flawless, her face like the bright moon, her skin smooth as snow, even glowing with a hint of rosy luster.

Both her appearance and her enchanting figure were the most top-tier he had ever seen!

A peerless beauty, unique in the world!

What kind of descending Fairy?

What kind of Heavenly Maiden Divine Phoenix?

In front of Yan Yuzhu, they were not worthy of comparison!

In reality, Shen Tianxing and Yan Yuzhu's interactions were not many, only two or three rare occasions.

But Yan Yuzhu had shown him kindness and helped him greatly.

Secondly, no one knew that the Empress of Great Qi, who was seen by the world as strong, domineering, and incredibly powerful, also had a gentle side, like a girl next door.

Even if Shen Tianxing were to tell others, probably no one would believe him.

Yan Yuzhu's other side, perhaps only Shen Tianxing would be fortunate enough to see it in this lifetime.

What Shen Tianxing didn't know was that at this moment, Yan Yuzhu's heart was beating uncontrollably.

For many years, she had long been accustomed to a domineering and strong way of doing things.

Neither in Great Qi nor in other Imperial Dynasties had anyone been able to make her reveal her feminine side.

But Shen Tianxing was different. This figure, who had often appeared in her mind for a year and a half, even making her neglect important court affairs.

He had truly appeared by her side.

Their first intimate contact, she didn't dislike it; instead, there was a hint of a heartbeat amidst her composure.

The decisive Empress, facing her inner feelings, accepted them calmly.

"Your True Essence, Divine Soul, and Imperial Dao Dragon Qi have already merged into one. Is this the secret why the Imperial Rulers of Great Qi can never leave Great Qi?"

Shen Tianxing suddenly asked.

"You already know."

Yan Yuzhu was not surprised.

With Shen Tianxing's current Golden Body Realm cultivation, having come to the Dragon Abyss Pool, he would certainly discover the anomaly.

Combined with the twelve ancestral golden bodies around, he could deduce the answer.

Yan Yuzhu was very calm.

Because before Cultivating this Cultivation Technique, she already knew her potential future fate.

All along, she had faced it calmly.

This was the destiny of the Imperial Rulers of Great Qi!
