109: Do they even deserve it?

The Myriad Flowers Grand Ceremony has always been the grandest event in the Central Continent Sacred Domain.

In the Hundred Flowers Garden at the foot of the Divine Phoenix Heavenly Palace, a gathering of heroes had already assembled. Tens of thousands of rare spiritual flowers and exotic herbs bloomed under the influence of Formations, their Spiritual Qi misty and their fragrance intoxicating. However, this garden full of spring scenery was shrouded by a near-solid, icy pressure, making the atmosphere more oppressive than the most desolate winter.

All second-rate Sects and clans of the Central Continent, as well as the forces subordinate to the Sky Patrol Hall and Danxia Valley, were present. Not a single person dared to make a sound, and the faces of all the female Cultivators were filled with unease and tension. They all knew that this so-called "Myriad Flowers Grand Ceremony" was merely a pretext for the Sky Patrol Hall to use others to do their dirty work—an execution ground for the final judgment of that "Northern Territory Devil Head Lin Chen" and the now-reassigned Danxia Valley!

On the white jade high platform at the very center of the Hundred Flowers Garden sat two female Supremes who controlled the overall situation of the Central Continent.

Seated in the primary position on the left was the master of the Sky Patrol Hall—the Heaven-Patrolling Goddess!

She wore a luxurious, profound-ice-colored robe and a Nine Phoenix Sun-Facing Crown. Her face was peerlessly beautiful, yet it was covered by a divine kingdom pressure that could freeze ten thousand miles, devoid of any warmth. She was a top-tier powerhouse at the Soul Transformation Peak and the primary confidante of Her Majesty the Empress. Her gaze swept across the field like the Nine Heavens divine lightning that judges all things, making countless Nascent Soul female Cultivators not even dare to look up. The sky patrol divine kingdom Law she radiated invisibly transformed the entire Hundred Flowers Garden into her Domain—the Supreme Law representing "Order" and "Judgment." Beside her, the seat of the former third-in-command of the Sky Patrol Hall, the Black Lotus Demoness, was empty, adding a touch of desolation and eeriness.

And seated on the right, on equal footing with the Heaven-Patrolling Goddess, was the host of today's ceremony—the Myriad Flowers Palace Master of the Hundred Flowers Immortal Sect.

In stark contrast to the icy majesty of the Heaven-Patrolling Goddess, the Myriad Flowers Palace Master was a fiery, languid, and mature beauty to the extreme.

She was draped in a palace shawl woven from ten thousand spiritual flowers, as thin as a cicada's wing, through which her snowy skin and perfect curves were faintly visible. Her figure was curvaceous yet elegant, and with every shift of her eyes, there was a soul-captivating charm, as if she were the embodiment of all the beautiful desires in the world.

Those eyes of hers, described as "seductive eyes like silk," currently held a hint of a playful smile as she lightly fanned herself with a jade fan, quietly watching this grand drama unfold. Her hundred flowers divine kingdom pressure was a "Devouring" Law that embraced all things yet carried extreme temptation, like a beautiful poisonous net silently enveloping the Hundred Flowers Garden.

Two Soul Transformation Peak female Supremes, one ice and one fire, one judgment and one devouring, together awaited today's "male protagonist"!

“It seems that Northern Territory Devil Head has been scared out of his wits,” a Sect Master subordinate to the Sky Patrol Hall whispered. “Does he really think that by subduing Danxia Valley, he can resist the Hall Master's pressure?”

“Hmph, a man, no matter how great his talent, is but a fleeting flash in the pan,” another female Cultivator chimed in, her tone filled with contempt and exclusion for male Cultivators.

Just as the atmosphere reached its Peak of gloom, a sudden change occurred!

A sword light that tore through heaven and earth, accompanied by an overwhelming Aura of pure Yang Qi, boomed down over the Hundred Flowers Garden!

This Aura was vigorous, overbearing, and full of aggression. It formed the most extreme collision with the icy and seductive divine kingdom pressures present!

“Who dares to trespass into the Divine Phoenix Heavenly Palace Forbidden Ground!” the guards of the Sky Patrol Hall shouted sharply.

However, everyone saw the sword light dissipate, revealing a group of people. Leading them was a man dressed in a profound black robe. He had a tall, straight build and a handsome face, but his eyes contained a heart-shaking imperial majesty! It was none other than Lin Chen, whom all the female Cultivators of the Central Continent regarded as a "Devil Head"!

But what caused people's Dao Hearts to collapse and their Divine Souls to tremble even more were the figures surrounding him!

Lin Chen was not alone; he had practically arrived with a "Soul Transformation Female Slave Dream Team"!

Following closely by Lin Chen's side were four Soul Transformation female Cultivators of peerless beauty and majestic Aura!

First on the left was the Heavenly Sword Goddess! She was dressed in white as pure as snow, her former coldness and pride not diminished in the slightest. Yet at this moment, her stance was like that of the most loyal guard, even trailing half a step behind Lin Chen. Her eyes had completely transformed from her former scrutiny and hostility toward Lin Chen into an indescribable feverish loyalty and obedience! Everyone in the Central Continent knew she was the second-in-command of the Sky Patrol Hall! Her Soul Imprint had truly been subdued by someone!

Second on the left was the Black Lotus Demoness! Dressed in a black dress, she was stunningly beautiful, still surrounded by grim Devilish Qi. Her gaze was even more complex than the Heavenly Sword's, filled with resentment, venom, and the submission of being forcibly suppressed by a contract. Her delicate body even trembled slightly and imperceptibly under Lin Chen's majestic Yang Qi pressure. Her hands were bound by a golden runic chain that wrapped around her curvaceous waist and extended all the way to Lin Chen's hand. She, the former third-in-command of the Sky Patrol Hall, was now brought to this high-profile ceremony by Lin Chen in the posture of a captive and slave!

First on the right was Pill Fairy, Luo Shenyue! Her change was the most significant! She wore a moon-white alchemist robe, yet it could not hide the extreme softness and charm radiating from her very bones! Her Hundred Herbs Immortal Body had been nourished by Lin Chen's Yang Qi until it was as lustrous as jade, her fair skin showing a healthy pink. Her once-cold phoenix eyes were now staring affectionately at Lin Chen, almost in a posture of total devotion, her jade arm tightly hooked around Lin Chen's! Her delicate body, filled with medicinal fragrance, seemed as if it wanted to merge entirely into Lin Chen's, declaring her belonging to everyone!

Second on the right was the Yaoguang Divine Maiden! She was as elegant as ever, but her gaze was firmer and more confident than before, and the spiritual energy fluctuations around her were more at Perfection. She and the Heavenly Sword Goddess stood on either side of him, symbolizing the Fate Reverser Alliance's absolute loyalty to Lin Chen!

Behind them were True Monarch Ziyue and a group of former Nascent Soul female Cultivators, all following with a kind of post-transformation piety and fervor.

“My God... that, that is the Heavenly Sword Goddess!”

“The Black Lotus Demoness... she is actually bound by chains!”

“Luo Shenyue! How could Pill Fairy... how could she perform such a shameful act!”

“A man! Behind a single man stand four Soul Transformation female Supremes!”

The entire Hundred Flowers Garden fell silent, followed by a massive uproar! The Dao Hearts of countless female Cultivators began to collapse and fracture at this moment! The "Female Supreme Laws" they believed in and took pride in were smashed to pieces before Lin Chen and the "Soul Transformation Female Slave Dream Team" behind him!

Heavenly Sword, Black Lotus, and Pill Fairy—these three were the top symbols of female power in the Central Continent, yet now they were like the most humble maids and captives surrounding a man! This brought a shock more terrifying than death to all the female Cultivators of the Central Continent! They could not imagine what kind of power could make these proud female Supremes submit so completely!

On the high platform, a violent tremor finally flashed through the icy eyes of the Heaven-Patrolling Goddess! Her face, which had been as calm as an ancient well, cracked for the first time! She clearly saw the glow of the Soul Imprints on the foreheads of Heavenly Sword and Black Lotus! This proved that her two right-hand women had truly and utterly been subdued! This was not just an insult; it was a direct declaration of war against her sky patrol divine kingdom!

“Lin! Chen!” Her icy voice, carrying a hint of uncontrollable rage, echoed through the field!

However, at the moment the Heaven-Patrolling Goddess was about to erupt, the Myriad Flowers Palace Master beside her suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled. Her laughter was as crisp as a lark's, yet it carried an extreme, mature charm!

“Oh my, Sister Sky Patrol, this is truly interesting!”

The Myriad Flowers Palace Master rose languidly. Her Myriad Flowers palace shawl swayed like flowing spring water with her movements, revealing large areas of seductive snowy skin, causing many of the male Cultivators present (servants brought by a few subordinate forces) to breathe heavily!

Her eyes were like silk as she scanned the four Soul Transformation female Cultivators behind Lin Chen with a hint of understanding and inquiry! As the master of intelligence, she knew better than anyone what Lin Chen's arrival meant!

“Fellow Daoist Lin Chen, you really are quite the 'male protagonist', aren't you!” She emphasized the words "male protagonist" blatantly, with extreme provocation and playfulness!

She moved with lotus steps, elegantly walking down the high platform. Her curvaceous and maturely charming body seemed to step on everyone's heartstrings with every pace!

“I invited the Sect Master of Danxia Valley, but I didn't expect to wait for the future Dominator of the Central Continent Sacred Domain!” She walked up to Lin Chen, so close that she could almost smell the rich floral fragrance and the scent of a mature woman on her!

“The Palace Master overpraises me.” Lin Chen smiled. Facing this Soul Transformation Peak, seductive, and peerless Palace Master, his gaze was calm and overbearing, without a hint of being lost in her beauty. “Since I am the master of Danxia Valley, I naturally had to attend the banquet in person. After all, I have been looking forward to the beauties of the Hundred Flowers Immortal Sect for a long time.”

Sensing the extreme temptation of the Palace Master beside her, Luo Shenyue subconsciously tightened her grip on Lin Chen's arm, the jealousy in her eyes almost becoming tangible! She did not want anyone else to come and share this "Great Dao Divine Medicine" just after she had been tamed!

“Presumptuous!”

On the high platform, the Heaven-Patrolling Goddess could finally endure no more! She stood up abruptly, and the Law of her sky patrol divine kingdom behind her materialized, turning into an icy world of profound ice. Carrying Supreme "Judgment" power, it instantly crushed toward Lin Chen!

The Myriad Flowers Palace Master gave a light laugh. She did not retreat but stood her ground. Behind her, tens of thousands of flower petals instantly condensed into a brilliant Domain, forming a confrontation with the Heaven-Patrolling Goddess's ice Domain! Her hundred flowers divine kingdom pressure, carrying the Laws of "Inclusion" and "Devouring," attempted to merge Lin Chen's pure Yang Qi into it for her own use!

However, Lin Chen only gave a contemptuous smile! He released Luo Shenyue's arm and took a step forward. His newly promoted human emperor divine kingdom First Heaven pressure was no longer held back and erupted completely!

BOOM—!!!

The most Yang, most rigid, and most overbearing human emperor divine kingdom, carrying the absolute Laws of "Imperial Power" and "Conquest," was like a blazing sun in the sky. It instantly collided violently with the icy sky patrol divine kingdom and the seductive hundred flowers divine kingdom!

Three Soul Transformation Peak-level pressures tore, intertwined, and collided in the air above the Hundred Flowers Garden!

The entire Hundred Flowers Garden's Formation groaned under the impact of these three forces! Countless low-level female Cultivators spat blood and instantly fainted! Everyone was shaken to the core by this sudden three-way standoff!

Lin Chen stood at the center of the divine kingdom pressure like a true monarch, looking down upon the two Peak female Supremes of the Central Continent!

“You want to judge me?” Lin Chen's voice carried unparalleled disdain. “Are you even worthy?”
