257: Chapter 257 He arrived to the rescue without even having properly put on his pants? The Empress was deeply moved!

A seemingly casual Chaos Sword Qi not only shredded that giant black mist hand.

It also sent the Holy Lord of Taichu, who was at the Late Stage Body Integration, reeling with surging Qi and blood, forcing him back dozens of zhang!

With every step the Holy Lord of Taichu took backward, the Void Realm beneath his feet collapsed.

Large swathes of pitch-black spatial rifts spread in all directions.

He forcibly steadied his figure, his internal Qi and blood churning.

The thousands of Prodigies present collectively lost their voices, eyes wide with shock, as the sound of gasping for air rose and fell at the edge of the plaza.

Too strong!

That was a full-strength strike from a Late Stage Body Integration expert.

It was actually erased so easily by a single strand of Sword Qi.

Everyone's gaze involuntarily converged on the figure in the black and white dharma robe stepping out from the spatial rift.

Cao Kun ignored the shocked gazes around him.

He took a step, and his figure instantly appeared beside Empress Yue Chan.

Looking at the blood spilling from the corner of Empress Yue Chan's mouth, Cao Kun felt an indescribable heartache.

He pulled Empress Yue Chan into his embrace with one hand.

The vitality force of the longevity green wood immortal belt flowed continuously from his palm into Empress Yue Chan's body.

Nourished by this vitality-filled power.

Empress Yue Chan's pale, pretty face quickly regained some rosiness, and her chaotic spiritual power gradually calmed down.

She raised her head, looking at the man blocking in front of her, her long-tense nerves finally relaxing.

"You damn scumbag... why did you only just arrive! This Empress thought you had died outside!"

Empress Yue Chan bit her red lips, a layer of mist swirling in her Phoenix eyes.

Her voice carried a sense of reliance that even she hadn't noticed.

The Prodigies watching from afar saw this scene and were instantly wide awake.

What the f*ck?!

That is the Empress of Great Yan who rules a domain!

She's actually acting coquettishly in a man's arms?!

What kind of love potion did this Cao Kun feed her to have the Empress so completely wrapped around his finger?!

Cao Kun watched the Empress, who was usually aloof and high above, reveal such a weak and coquettish side.

His hand, which was holding her waist, tightened slightly, and he lowered his head to whisper mischievously in her ear.

"Didn't I hear my Empress wife calling for help in her heart, and I rushed over without even putting on my pants properly. Leave the rest to me!"

Hearing such shameless, flirtatious words, Empress Yue Chan's ears turned bright red.

In normal times, she would have slapped away this wandering hand and scolded him.

But at this moment, feeling the warmth radiating from Cao Kun's chest.

For the first time ever, she didn't struggle, only gave a soft "Mn," and completely entrusted the weight of her body to him.

At this moment, all the strength and pretense of the Empress of Great Yan were completely stripped away before this man.

In mid-air, the Holy Lord of Taichu finally smoothed out the surging Qi and blood in his body.

He raised his hand to wipe away a trace of black blood from the corner of his mouth, new and old grudges exploding in his chest.

"You little beast! How dare you ruin my plans!"

Feeling that the aura emanating from the opponent was only at the Void Refinement Stage.

The Holy Lord of Taichu's wariness dissipated by more than half.

"Even if your strength is great, so what? You are only at the Void Refinement Stage! Before my Late Stage Body Integration power, you are still just an ant that can be crushed at will!"

Black mist rolled around him, and the pressure of his Late Stage Body Integration once again swept across the entire venue.

The Prodigies who had retreated to the edge of the barrier turned pale and shook their heads with sighs.

That Sword Qi just now was stunning enough.

But the chasm of Realms was right there.

Void Refinement Stage against Late Stage Body Integration, there is a difference of more than a whole major Realm in between!

Moreover, these three old monsters from the Taichu Holy Land are Body Integration experts who have ignored the Divine Ruins Law suppression and can exert their full power.

No matter how Heaven-Defying Cao Kun is, it is impossible to bridge such a large gap and fight three alone.

"Cao Kun is being foolish! Although he can kill Peak Void Refining above his level, these three are Body Integration experts who have ignored the Divine Ruins Law!"

"The gap in Realms is too big; Void Refinement Stage against Late Stage Body Integration has absolutely no chance of winning."

"This hero saving the beauty is cool, but I'm afraid he's going to get himself killed too."

Facing the Holy Lord of Taichu's clamoring and the surrounding people's pessimism, the mockery on Cao Kun's face grew even richer.

He let go of Empress Yue Chan, took a step forward, and looked directly at the three people in mid-air.

"I've discovered something, does your Taichu Holy Land have a masochistic tendency?"

Cao Kun's voice was not loud, but everyone present heard it clearly!

"The young ones lined up to get killed in Blood Crystal Valley, and now the old ones are rushing here to get buried."

"What, is the feng shui of the Taichu Holy Land's Ancestral Master's grave bad, and you're in such a rush to move collectively?"

The Holy Lord of Taichu was so abused that his face became ferocious, and just as he was about to erupt, Cao Kun spoke again.

"A dignified righteous sect of Central State, yet you feel superior about being someone's dog."

"Using the black mist Origin of the Lingxiao Divine Kingdom to sneak into the Divine Ruins, you reek of the gutter."

"If I were your Ancestral Master, I wouldn't be able to keep my coffin lid down from anger, I'd jump out directly to purge the sect!"

Having that disgraceful deal exposed in public, Lightく micro and Supreme Elder Xuanchen, two Grand Elders, had their old faces flushed bright red, shame and fury rushing to their heads.

"You brat, stop being arrogant!"

Lightく micro shouted angrily, no longer able to suppress the killing intent in his heart.

The two Mid-stage Integration Stage old monsters stopped talking nonsense and joined forces to attack directly.

Lightく micro's sleeves billowed, and his life-bound top-grade Spirit Treasure Flying Sword was unleashed.

The vast spiritual power of the Mid-stage Integration Stage poured into it, the Sword Qi tore through the Void Realm, carrying an edge that could sever everything, heading straight for Cao Kun's head.

Supreme Elder Xuanchen waved the whisk in his hand, and thousands of silver threads wove into a net in the air that blocked out the sky and sun.

Sealing off all of Cao Kun's escape routes.

The two Mid-stage Integration Stage old monsters joined forces, their momentum terrifying.

The watching Prodigies were scared and retreated again, fearing they would be affected by the aftermath.

Empress Yue Chan also subconsciously wanted to urge her just-recovered spiritual power to block the strike for Cao Kun.

But everyone was stunned to find that Cao Kun stood in place, hands behind his back, with no intention of dodging at all.

"Five Emperors Origin True Body!"

Cao Kun's mind stirred.

The yin-yang dharma robe on his body began to split.

Half transformed into a deep blue robe condensed from the essence of Gui Water.

The other half transformed into crimson battle armor burning with the essence of Bing Fire.

The heavy Law of Wu Earth spread across the ground.

The longevity green wood immortal belt at his waist fluttered in the wind.

The golden cloud crown above his head bloomed with ten thousand rays of Geng Metal divine light, piercing the firmament.

The Five Elements Law was endless!

Under the blessing of these five supreme treasures, Cao Kun's cultivation was forcibly raised to the Mid-stage Integration Stage!

Facing the roaring river of Sword Qi, Cao Kun raised his right hand, and the crimson fire-phase Law gathered in his palm.

He grabbed at that top-grade Spirit Treasure Flying Sword with his bare hands.

"Seeking death!"

Lightく micro sneered upon seeing this.

Daring to use his Physical Body to take a top-grade Spirit Treasure head-on was simply seeking his own death.

"Clang!"

A sound of metal clashing rang through the sky.

Cao Kun pinched the blade of the Flying Sword, and the fire-phase Law spread along his arm.

"Crack!"

The top-grade Spirit Treasure level Flying Sword, under the scorching of the Five Elements Origin fire, let out a mournful cry and shattered directly into iron filings filling the sky.

The flames did not diminish, spreading along the Void Realm, and directly collided with the thousands of silver threads coming from Supreme Elder Xuanchen.

Everything in its path turned into nothingness!
