133: Reinvigorating the husband's authority

When Little Ancestor Luo Li's tender and submissive cry of "Master" echoed in the hall, the entire Divine Phoenix Heavenly Palace seemed to fall into a dead silence.

The strongest backer, the messenger descended from the Upper Realm, had completely surrendered.

The Divine Phoenix Empress's curvaceous and tall body now slumped completely onto the cold golden bricks. Her fiery-red Phoenix robes were disheveled, and her exquisite bun had loosened, revealing her mature and stunning face, which was now filled with extreme despair and desolation. She raised her head, her beautiful eyes wide, looking at the supreme and extraordinarily domineering black figure on the dragon throne.

Lin Chen, the man she once regarded as a "plaything," had become the sole Dominator of her fate.

She knew the situation was hopeless. Her Zhongzhou Empire and her dignity as the Divine Phoenix Empress had been completely shattered by Lin Chen in the most cruel and direct way within these few short minutes.

Lin Chen slowly rose from the dragon throne, still tightly holding Little Ancestor Luo Li in his arms. She had just undergone a shameful punishment, her cheeks were flushed, and her expression was complex. The petite body of the loli in his arms formed a highly conquering contrast with his strong chest.

His tall figure, carrying an irresistible pressure, walked step by step toward the Divine Phoenix Empress, who was slumped on the ground.

Every step was like treading upon the Divine Phoenix Empress's already completely shattered Dao Heart.

Lin Chen stood before her, looking down like he was overlooking a lowly ant. His deep gaze, filled with strong aggression, swept over the Divine Phoenix Empress's mature and curvaceous body with a hint of mockery and playfulness.

He leaned down, his voice low and magnetic, like a demon's temptation yet carrying absolute judgment:

"Your Majesty, do you remember what you said when you looked down upon this Emperor back then?"

The Divine Phoenix Empress's delicate body trembled violently. Of course she remembered; it was the most arrogant and mistaken judgment of her life.

A cold, wicked curve hooked the corner of Lin Chen's mouth as he spoke those cruel words for her:

"You said I was just one of your many 'toys,' waiting for your play and disposal."

Lin Chen slowly crouched down, his aura, carrying masculine virility and bloodiness, instantly enveloped the Divine Phoenix Empress's fragile body.

"Now, open your eyes again and take a good look—"

His powerful hand slowly rose, and with unquestionable dominance, he tilted the Divine Phoenix Empress's beautiful yet tear-stained chin, forcing her to look directly into his eyes.

"Who is the toy now?"

In the Divine Phoenix Empress's beautiful eyes, Lin Chen's Dominator posture, like that of a deity, was reflected. Her full and trembling chest heaved violently, and a desperate sob escaped her throat. She knew she had lost completely, without even the qualification to resist.

Lin Chen did not give her the chance to end her own life. From his fingertips, Human Emperors Power erupted, instantly striking the Divine Phoenix Empress's Dantian!

"This Emperor will not kill you. The situation in Zhongzhou is settled, and you still have your value." Lin Chen's voice was cold and heartless. "However, from today on, all your cultivation will be for my use. Your power and your beauty will all become tools for this Emperor to conquer the world."

"Seal!"

The Divine Phoenix Empress's Late Void Refinement Stage cultivation was instantly and completely sealed under the crushing weight of the Human Emperors Power! The powerful energy within her body receded like a tide, leaving behind only a weak, beautiful body with nothing left but the value of being conquered.

Lin Chen stood up and handed the Divine Phoenix Empress, who had lost all power to resist and was left only with humiliation and resentment, to the Dragon Clan elites behind him.

"Take her to the Dragon Palace. Lock her up with her dear sister, Feng Jiuyou."

"A pair of sisters... Hmm, it's time for them to properly enhance their relationship." A meaningful, wicked smile appeared on the corner of Lin Chen's mouth.

Hearing the name "Feng Jiuyou," the Divine Phoenix Empress's body trembled violently again. Her stunning face instantly turned as pale as snow, and the despair in her eyes reached its Peak. She knew this was the most complete and cruelest punishment—to be conquered by Lin Chen and, along with her own sister, become the two most beautiful sights in Lin Chen's harem.

[Time of the End: System Settlement and New Map Unlocked]

As the Divine Phoenix Empress was taken away, the entire Zhongzhou Plane was officially declared unified!

Lin Chen's System Panel instantly erupted with dazzling golden light!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host! You have completely unified the Zhongzhou Plane!]

[The Plane's Luck value has exploded! Human Emperors Power has reached the [Limit]!]

[host's cultivation has broken through to the Void Refining Great Perfection! Physical Body and Dao Heart have reached the Half-step Dao Integration Realm!]

Lin Chen felt the majestic power surging within him like a tsunami; it was the blessing of the entire plane's Luck. His Human Emperor's Body had truly reached the Peak of the Lower Realm!

"Master..."

At this time, Little Ancestor Luo Li, who had been held in Lin Chen's arms, spoke softly, her youthful voice carrying a hint of shyness and flattery. Her snow-white, petite body was now pressed tightly against Lin Chen's chest, and her smooth little feet hung down obediently, completely devoid of her previous arrogance and struggle.

From within her wide Daoist robes, she took out an ancient jade plaque shimmering with Upper Realm Dao patterns.

"This is the Upper Realm Reception Token." Her crimson eyes flickered with attachment to her new master. "This is the token of the Longevity Immortal Sect for receiving tributes from the Lower Realm. With it, we can directly open the passage and head to the Upper Realm."

Little Ancestor Luo Li obediently handed the jade plaque to Lin Chen. Her small face still carried the lingering flush from being spanked, and the contrast between her loli body and her status as an Old Ancestor was perfectly highlighted by her current submissive obedience.

But soon, a trace of solemnity and worry appeared on her delicate face.

"Master, although you are the Human Emperor of this plane... the Upper Realm... is truly different."

She tightly gripped Lin Chen's lapel, her voice carrying a hint of fear, as if she had returned to the state of a little girl being punished.

"The female venerable forces in the Upper Realm are ten thousand times more terrifying than here! There are true 'Female Immortal Emperors' there, and their strength far exceeds the limits of your imagination! In their eyes, all male Cultivators from the Lower Realm, and even the Upper Realm, are nothing more than 'cauldrons' for their cultivation. They will practice dual cultivation harvesting and enslave them, treating men as the lowliest tools..."

Little Ancestor Luo Li's delicate body trembled slightly. She looked up, her crimson eyes full of worry and dependence on Lin Chen:

"Although Master is powerful, once you go there... you must be careful..."

Hearing this, Lin Chen only smiled domineeringly. He freed one hand and tightly, with absolute possessiveness, embraced Little Ancestor Luo Li's fragile waist.

His sturdy body was now like an immovable mountain.

Lin Chen stood at the highest Peak of the Divine Phoenix Heavenly Palace, overlooking the vast Zhongzhou Plane below that he had completely conquered.

His behind him, stunning figures were lined up like a series of the most beautiful paintings:

The voluptuous and mature Dragon Empress Ao Shuang, the youthful and alluring Dragon Empress, the despairing and submissive Divine Phoenix Empress, the charming and intimate Feng Jiuyou, the cold and proud Saintess Yun Xi of the Buddha Pure Land, and Little Ancestor Luo Li, who was currently held tightly in his arms and was extremely dependent on him.

These women, who were once the highest power-holders of the female venerable world, had all now surrendered under his Human Emperor's prestige.

Lin Chen gripped the Reception Token in his hand, and the ambition to conquer everything burned in his deep eyes even more fiercely than the Phoenix flames of the Divine Phoenix Heavenly Palace!

He let out a low, disdainful cold laugh, a sound filled with challenge and contempt for the Female Immortal Emperors of the Upper Realm!

"Female Immortal Emperors? cauldrons?"

His domineering and confident voice resounded through the clouds like a bugle call marking the start of a new era!

"Heh, then let's go to the Upper Realm and let them know what... a lack of husbandly authority is!"
