Chapter 191 A Gentle Haven Amidst the Ruins, the Peerless Beauty of the Nine-Tailed Empress

Northern Border, Luohun Valley.

The Fox Ancestor ruins, which had stood for ten thousand years and were filled with an ancient aura, completely crumbled into the dust of history at this moment.

“Rumble—!!!”

The earth shook and the mountains swayed; it was the groaning of the earth in pain.

As Jiang Chen forcibly absorbed the last wisp of Imperial Essence into his Sea of Consciousness, the balance of Laws within the entire ruins was completely shattered.

Abyssal cracks spread in all directions like a spiderweb, and the thousand-zhang-high altar collapsed with a bang. The kicked-up dust blotted out the sun, turning the surrounding hundred miles into a chaotic dead zone.

In the distance, Regiment Commander Lei Heng wiped the cold sweat from his face and roared hoarsely, “Retreat! Fall back another fifty miles! This is no longer a Domain humans can set foot in!”

Yet at the core of that dust, within the turbulent flow of Laws capable of tearing apart a Grandmaster's Physical Body, it was eerily quiet.

The dust gradually thinned, and the moonlight, like silver, pierced through the murky air, illuminating the center of the abyssal basin that Jiang Chen had pressed out by “turning over.”

There, instead of the expected mountains of corpses and seas of blood, was a scene of peerless beauty enough to shatter the Dao Heart of any Heavenly God or demon.

On a “Void Couch” condensed from pure purple-gold Imperial Qi, Jiang Chen still had his eyes closed, his sleeping posture even more arrogant than before.

The spongebob pajamas he was wearing were unexpectedly unharmed in the explosion, and even the creases exuded a laziness that said, “I am invincible.”

Around him, nine giant tails, each tens of meters long and as translucent as top-grade white jade, with dark purple Nightmare Demon Flames flickering at their tips, were layered around him in a posture of absolute protection.

That was Iliya.

No, at this moment, she was no longer that submissive Beast Clan Saintess.

She floated half a meter above Jiang Chen, her silver hair falling like a waterfall, nearly reaching his chest.

Her pair of fox ears stood slightly erect, and her originally azure eyes had turned a noble dark purple, swirling with the vicissitudes and indifference of one who could see through Karma.

100% Bloodline Awakening—Fox Ancestor Incarnation, or rather, Jiang Chen's exclusive... Nine-Tailed Empress.

【Ding! Detected that the sleep companion “Iliya” has completed her ultimate evolution.】

【Obtained special bond: Empress Law—Absolute Serenity.】

【System Evaluation: host, you've taken living off a woman to the ceiling of this plane of existence. Now, she can suppress the heavens for you and warm your bed for a lifetime.】

“Mmh...”

Jiang Chen let out a satisfied murmur in his sleep, feeling that the “cushion” beneath him was softer and more elastic than ever before.

He naturally grabbed a fluffy fox tail, clutching it tightly like a stuffed toy, and rubbed his head against the silky fur.

“So fragrant... did you change your shampoo?”

Iliya's delicate body trembled slightly. Her Empress aura, which was originally as cold as ice and enough to suffocate a War God Realm expert, instantly shattered at that rub.

A seductive crimson quickly climbed onto her breathtakingly beautiful face.

“Master... at a time like this, can you... be a bit more serious.”

Iliya bit her red lips, her voice soft and sweet with a hint of irresistible majesty, but to Jiang Chen's ears, it sounded more like some kind of forbidden invitation.

“Jiang Chen!”

Two figures burst through the remaining dust and landed at the edge of the basin.

Mu Qingxue and Su Qingyue.

At this time, Mu Qingxue's white instructor uniform was somewhat damaged, revealing large patches of skin as cold as frost and snow. The ice sword in her hand hummed, but her footsteps abruptly halted when she saw Iliya's nine sun-blotting tails.

“Is this... Iliya?” Mu Qingxue's pupils contracted.

She could feel that the girl before her had undergone a qualitative change.

That status, which surpassed even a Great Grandmaster and even made her Soul tremble, indicated that Iliya had crossed that threshold.

“It's not just an Awakening.”

The light of the crimson flame sword in Su Qingyue's hand was dim. Her phoenix blood, which had only awakened by thirty percent, actually produced a sense of inferiority before Iliya's Empress Law, like a “concubine meeting the main wife.”

This made the always-proud School Beauty Su grit her teeth in frustration.

“Brother Jiang Chen! How much longer are you going to hide in that pile of fur!” Su Qingyue shouted in shame and annoyance. “The Sanctuary's Kill Order has already spread throughout the Northern Border! If we don't run now, we'll be hunted across the entire map!”

Indeed, in the sky of the Northern Border at this moment, a huge phantom of a temple was faintly emerging.

That was the descent of the will of the Sanctuary's Yaoguang Holy Land.

【Sanctuary Kill Order: Jiang Chen.】

【Charges: Stealing Imperial Essence, desecrating the Saintess, and disrupting the sleep order of the Heavenly Dao.】

【Bounty: One ticket to the Sanctuary's Core Secret Realm, and three Saint-tier Cultivation Techniques.】

“So noisy.”

From within the blanket (tails) came Jiang Chen's low, hoarse voice, sounding like that because of his extreme Waking Up Anger.

Although he didn't open his eyes, the mental pressure released in that instant caused the space within ten miles to emit a crisp sound like breaking glass.

“Iliya, turn off the lights.”

“Yes, my King.”

Iliya bowed gracefully, and her nine tails snapped open. The originally bright moonlight was instantly obscured by a purple-black curtain.

That was her Domain—【Empress's Bedchamber】.

In this Domain, if Jiang Chen said let there be night, this world would not dare to have light.

Mu Qingxue looked at the gradually closing fox tails and the three people wrapped within in an extremely ambiguous posture (with her and Su Qingyue being forcibly pulled in), and an absurd thought actually rose in her heart:

If they could just keep sleeping like this, even if it meant being enemies with the whole world, it seemed... not bad?
