162: Hard-Eating Empress

Above the Imperial Palace square, a chilling aura of slaughter soared straight into the clouds.

The fierce wind whipped up by that True Immortal Sword Qi sent Clear Profound Ji's long black hair dancing wildly. Bound to the coiled dragon pillar by the Immortal-Binding Rope, she watched helplessly as that white light, powerful enough to tear through space, plunged toward Lin Chen's position. At that moment, the cold and decisive Empress, who held absolute power over the Great Qian Divine Dynasty, felt as if her heart were being ruthlessly squeezed by an invisible hand. A sense of despair, as if she were about to lose her Soul's anchor, caused her to let out a shrill, mournful cry.

“Lin Chen—! Run!”

With a thunderous explosion, the white jade floor tiles in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation shattered inch by inch. Dust rose like a giant dragon, completely swallowing the slender figure in green robes.

From above, the Upper Realm's Xiao Tiance looked down coldly, a fake smile of pity for ants hanging on his lips: “Is this what you call 'love'? Before this most useless piece of trash in the myriad worlds, death is your only liberation.”

However, as the dust settled, that touch of green still stood as straight as a pine tree.

Lin Chen held out a single hand, the embers of that True Immortal Sword Qi still flickering at his fingertips. The power that could have split mountains had been crushed by him into scraps of Spiritual Qi, like scrap metal, before dissipating into the wind.

“Touching my woman right in front of me?”

Lin Chen slowly raised his head. His eyes, originally as gentle as jade, had now turned into two bottomless pools of dark gold blood. His voice was as low as thunder from the Nine Netherworld, “Immortal Envoy? You are seeking death.”

“What?!” The arrogance on Xiao Tiance's face instantly froze, his pupils shrinking to the size of needles. “A mere Mortal from the Lower Realm, how could you catch True Immortal Sword Qi with your bare hands? Who exactly are you!”

Lin Chen did not answer. Instead, he slowly pulled a square seal from his robes.

It was the Great Qian Divine Dynasty's long-lost supreme treasure—the Heirloom Seal of the Realm.

Prior to this, using her status as the daughter of the Prime Minister's Residence, Clear Profound Ji had already secretly infiltrated the Imperial Treasury after their passionate encounter to 'borrow a seed.' She stole the seal that represented the Divine Dynasty's legitimacy and gave it to Lin Chen. In her eyes, if this world had to have a Dominator, it could only be the man who had conquered her.

[Ding! Detected that the host has completely seized control of the Divine Dynasty's military power (Red Makeup Ye), political power (Clear Profound Ji), and literary path (Yan Ruyu)!] [Luck is converging, the Human Emperor status has awakened! The will of ten thousand citizens is bestowed upon you!] [The Divine Dynasty's National Destiny Golden Dragon—returning to its position!]

“Roar—!!!”

A dragon's roar that shattered the Nine Heavens rose from every inch of the Great Qian Divine Dynasty's land.

The listless National Destiny Golden Dragon that had been attached to the Empress's body suddenly seemed to sense the arrival of its true sovereign. It bolted from the Empress's body, transforming into a golden light that spanned ten thousand miles, charging straight toward Lin Chen.

Next, the literary Qi of the Imperial Capital, the Killing Intent of the borders, and the scheming Qi of the Prime Minister's Residence—all the pillars of power—converged at this moment into an unprecedented torrent. Lin Chen's green robes fluttered loudly in the gale, and every strand of his hair was dyed a sacred dark gold.

He was no longer the medical officer hiding behind women, but the Dominator of this world!

“Empress, I'll borrow your Dragon Qi for a moment.”

Lin Chen turned around. Under the horrified gazes of the Imperial Guards and the court's female officials, he stepped in front of the coiled dragon pillar. His terrifying pressure, enough to crush space itself, caused the surrounding air to freeze.

He grabbed the Empress's slender waist, which was trembling with fear and pain, and right in front of the celestial envoy, he kissed those arrogant, beautiful lips ruthlessly.

“Mmph...!”

The Empress's Phoenix eyes widened. After a moment of stiffness, she actually took the initiative to surrender her last bit of Imperial Primordial Yin.

This was a deep resonance of Bloodline and Soul. Lin Chen's Ancestral Dragon Bloodline and the Empress's True Dragon Qi completely fused during this kiss. A dazzling brilliance erupted around them as Lin Chen's aura surged, instantly skipping past the Dao Integration and Undergoing Tribulation Realms, reaching a level of 'Pseudo-True Immortal' capable of shaking the heavens!

“Bastard! You dare to humiliate this Young Master like this!”

Xiao Tiance, high in the sky, completely lost his composure. He had come to harvest a 'gift,' but he never expected that in this ant-like Lower Realm, a man would perform the ultimate act of 'living off a woman' while also publicly defiling his fiancée.

“Die! Immortal Art: Great Desolation Extinction!”

Enraged, Xiao Tiance struck. Ten thousand zhang of immortal light converged into a giant meteor capable of destroying the Imperial Capital, falling from the Nine Heavens.

Lin Chen released the Empress, who was now completely limp in his arms with a flushed face. He looked coldly at the sky, a cruel smile curling his lips.

“Human Emperor: World-Suppressing Fist!”

He didn't use any flashy Moves, simply throwing a plain punch toward the sky.

It was a fist carrying the will of hundreds of millions of citizens and ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers.

“Boom—!!!”

At that moment, a second sun seemed to rise over the Imperial Capital.

The immortal art Xiao Tiance was so proud of was as fragile as a child's soap bubble before that giant golden fist, shattering instantly. The residual force of the punch didn't diminish, striking Xiao Tiance directly in the chest. The sound of bones cracking was clearly audible.

“Bang!”

The previously invincible immortal envoy fell from the clouds like a swatted fly, smashing a hundred-zhang deep crater into the square.

The entire field fell silent.

Those female officials and generals who were usually high and mighty were now slumped on the ground. Looking at the man standing beneath the coiled dragon pillar, holding the Empress and stepping on the ruins, a tremor they had never felt before echoed from the depths of their Souls.

Lin Chen slowly walked to the edge of the crater, looking down at Xiao Tiance, who was spitting blood and filled with disbelief. He extended his foot and stepped firmly on Xiao Tiance's clean face.

“Upper Realm?” Lin Chen leaned down, his gaze icy. “Sooner or later, I will take them up there and step on the heads of you so-called 'big shots.' Now, crawl back and tell your master: the Empress is mine. This Great Qian is also mine.”

...As night fell, the immortal envoy fled in disgrace, but the Imperial Capital did not settle down.

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the earth-shaking slaughter of the day was gone, replaced by a suffocating, thick tenderness.

The Empress lay softly on the dragon bed. Her torn dragon robe was long gone, replaced by a large outer robe Lin Chen had casually draped over her.

“Lin Chen...” Her voice was weak, carrying a hint of a sob from surviving a disaster and a deep sense of dependence. Her long, jade-like legs rubbed restlessly against the bright yellow bedding.

That kiss during the day hadn't just borrowed her Dragon Qi; it had completely unlocked the hidden lust within her Nine Revolutions Dragon God Art. At this moment, the National Destiny Golden Dragon within her, nourished by Lin Chen's Human Emperor aura, produced a thirsty instinct.

“Your Majesty, weren't you quite impressive earlier?” Lin Chen sat by the bed. His large hand mercilessly gripped her rounded, shapely ankle and gave it a sudden pull.

“Ah—!”

The Empress let out a cry of surprise as she was pulled into Lin Chen's arms.

At this moment, how did the Empress look like a sovereign of a nation? Her once cold and aloof face was now filled with extreme longing. Her Phoenix eyes brimmed with tears, and her body convulsed violently at Lin Chen's touch.

“Save me... there... it's so hot...”

She grabbed Lin Chen's collar without a shred of dignity, proactively offering her ivory-white body, which now glowed with a pink luster under Lin Chen's aura.

“Your Majesty, when begging someone, one must have the proper attitude.”

Lin Chen leaned down and directly kissed the golden dragon tattoo on the side of her neck, which had now become completely submissive.

In that instant, the Empress let out a long cry she had been suppressing all day, one that could Move heaven and earth. Her body arched into an extreme curve, her proud peaks shaking violently with her every sob. Sweat mixed with tears, completely washing away her last bit of imperial pride.

At the highest point of the Great Qian Divine Dynasty, Lin Chen used the most brutal yet gentle method to carve an indelible mark into the Empress's Soul.

Outside the window, the National Destiny Golden Dragon circled in the night sky, letting out satisfied roars.

And inside the room, this war of conquest between the 'Human Emperor' and the 'Empress' had only just entered its most frenzied climax.

[Congratulations to the host! Completely conquered the Great Qian Empress with the posture of a Human Emperor! Empress's Loyalty: Die-hard (Has become the host's dependent)!] [Great Qian's National Destiny has returned to its position. The host has officially become the behind-the-scenes ruler of the Divine Dynasty!] [Obtained Special Reward: 'Three Thousand Harem Internal Classic' (Can rapidly increase the cultivation of various heroines through dual cultivation)!] [Next Goal: The Imperial Capital Grand Martial Arts Tournament officially begins!
