115: Oh no, this guy is a siscon.

Golden radiance enveloped the entire great hall. Countless female officials and guards dressed in magnificent phoenix-patterned palace robes stood as still as statues, in utter silence!

In the very center of the hall, Lin Chen stood with his upper body bare, every inch of his muscles radiating a sense of power tempered by the Divine Phoenix Strange Fire!

Directly in front of him, the Divine Phoenix Empress leaned lazily against the Nine Dragon Phoenix Chair. Her beautiful eyes flickered with an inscrutable light, as if all the world's schemes were within her grasp!

"You little fellow, you are indeed interesting!"

The Empress's voice was soft, yet it carried a Void Refinement Might capable of vibrating a Soul Transformation Divine Soul!

She suddenly flicked her slender finger, and a golden stream of light landed directly on Lin Chen, instantly condensing into a purple Python Robe embroidered with nine aggressive golden dragon patterns!

"This Palace has decided to bestow upon you the title of Purple Heavens Emperor Lord!"

"The Emperor Lord's Palace shall be open to you. From this day forth, you are... the closest servant under This Palace's command!"

The Empress's voice was like a clap of thunder, exploding throughout the Divine Phoenix Heavenly Palace!

Emperor Lord!

This was the first time since the Divine Phoenix Empress began her tens of thousands of years of rule that she had bestowed this title upon a man!

This move was both an extreme elevation of Lin Chen as a toy and a push into the eye of the storm! This position would inevitably attract the gaze of all factions in the Heavenly Palace, making him a target for everyone!

Lin Chen sneered inwardly. He knew the Empress's calculations: on one hand, it was to humiliate him and pave the way for her future harvesting of the Great Medicine; on the other hand, it was to use this Emperor Lord identity to draw the fire of those eyeing her from the Dragon Domain and Ghost Domain!

As expected!

Just as the Empress finished speaking, an extreme killing intent, billions of times colder than that of the Heaven-Patrolling Goddess, crashed through the entire hall!

"Sister! How dare you!"

A sharp cry filled with rage and disbelief resounded through the Heavenly Palace!

The side door of the hall shattered! A figure like a black-gold bolt of lightning, carrying absolute slaughtering Qi, charged directly into the hall!

The newcomer was none other than the Divine Phoenix Empress's younger sister, the strongest combat power in charge of the Heavenly Palace's Imperial Guard, Imperial Daughter Feng Jiuyou!

She was clad in black-gold armor that outlined her exquisite yet powerful physique almost perfectly! Below the heart-protecting mirror of the armor, a section of snow-white, slender waist was exposed, yet it showed no sign of weakness, only steel-like resilience!

Her face was even more cold and beautiful than the Empress's, but it carried a slaughtering Qi like ten-thousand-year-old ice! The black spear in her hand left deadly afterimages in the void!

Early Void Refinement Stage! Her cultivation and Lin Chen's Peak Soul Transformation were still separated by a natural chasm!

"Men are only fit to be lowly slaves!"

Feng Jiuyou's voice was chillingly cold, like steel striking steel: "Sister! Bestowing the title of Emperor Lord upon such a filthy thing is the greatest desecration of my Divine Phoenix Imperial Family Bloodline!"

She completely ignored the Empress's presence, her gaze locking onto Lin Chen!

The black spear hummed! At the tip of the spear, a condensed power of black rules erupted—the Slaughter Rule!

Boom!!

The Slaughter Rule! This was the Void Refinement power Feng Jiuyou had condensed from the blood of countless living beings!

As soon as this rule appeared, Lin Chen's human emperor divine kingdom wailed once more! The surrounding air turned into invisible blades, completely locking down all of Lin Chen's paths of retreat!

Lin Chen's Peak Soul Transformation cultivation was like a frozen specimen before the rule power of the Void Refining Realm! His body was stiff and unable to move, and he could only watch as the black spear tip, carrying certain death, headed straight for his throat!

"Die! Filthy man!"

Feng Jiuyou's eyes were cold as she thrust the spear, fast as a ghost!

Just at the moment everything was about to end!

[Ding!]

[Detected 'Slaughter Rule'! Beginning rule analysis... Analysis successful!]

[The 'Patch' of the 'many children many blessings system' is now in effect!]

[Activating 'Rule Shield' (Immune to Void Refinement level rule attacks, duration: 10 seconds)!]

With a 'ding' sound, the black spear struck Lin Chen's throat!

However, to Feng Jiuyou's horror, the moment the spear tip touched Lin Chen's skin, it was as if it had pierced the void! That invincible Slaughter Rule power actually dissolved completely under a mysterious Dao rhythm!

"Oh no!" Feng Jiuyou was startled, but before she could withdraw her spear and retreat!

Lin Chen, protected by the Rule Shield, completely broke free from the suppression of the Void Refining Realm within these ten seconds! His Chaos Dragon Elephant Physical Body instantly erupted with terrifying speed!

Lin Chen ruthlessly ignored the spear tip resting at his throat and lunged forward like a leopard!

He closed the distance instantly, forcefully crowding into Feng Jiuyou's embrace!

"Presumptuous!!"

Feng Jiuyou's mind shook violently! This was the first time in her life she had been in such close contact with a man!

Lin Chen's chest, hot as a furnace, pressed tightly against her cold black-gold armor! His strong, powerful arms clamped around her exposed, slender waist!

Feng Jiuyou felt an unprecedented, extreme masculine Qi surge through the gaps in her armor, directly impacting her Slaughter Dao Heart, which was like ten-thousand-year-old ice!

"Imperial Daughter..."

Lin Chen brought his lips to her cold, beautiful ear, his hot breath spraying against her skin! His voice was low yet carried a powerful aura of Human Emperor Governance that exploded in her Sea of Consciousness!

"You are so eager to kill me..."

"Are you afraid... afraid of being... loved by a filthy thing like me?"

"Does your cold Dao Heart really... not have a single trace of warmth?"

This extreme insult and provocation completely ignited the shame and indignation in Feng Jiuyou's heart! Her cheeks flushed crimson in an instant, and that powerful Slaughter Dao Heart actually showed signs of loosening under this man's close contact!

She erupted with her strongest Void Refinement power, prepared to shatter the body of the man in front of her in an instant!

However, just then!

An invisible Rule Decree, like a gentle yet domineering hand, pressed down the power about to explode within her!

"Jiuyou! That is enough."

The Empress's lazy voice came from the throne, filled with a meaningful smile: "You must not lay a hand on This Palace's toy during the Emperor Lord Investiture Ceremony!"

Feng Jiuyou's whole body stiffened! She violently pushed Lin Chen away, and as she retreated, her black spear traced a sharp arc in the air!

Her cold, beautiful face was filled with extreme shame, indignation, and killing intent!

"Lin Chen!"

Her voice seemed to come from the depths of Hell: "You mark my words!"

"At the Heavenly Palace Martial Arts Exercise in three days! I will issue an Emperor Lord Challenge to you!"

"At that time, no one can save you! I will personally tear your filthy body to shreds on the Arena Platform!"

Feng Jiuyou flicked her spear, and her black-gold figure vanished like a bolt of lightning, leaving behind a hall full of cold killing intent!

Lin Chen watched her cold, sharp back disappear from sight! He licked his lips, his eyes flashing with intense excitement.

"A Slaughter Battle Body at the Early Void Refinement Stage!"

"Very good, this is an excellent whetstone!"
