79: Imperial weapons are so convenient for smashing people, Princess, please wait!

The atmosphere froze.

The Azure Emperor's phantom's words, "packaged and sent to you," were still echoing within the empty Imperial Palace.

Su Xuanchen felt a chill run down his back; the cold Aura emanating from Gu Lingshuang beside him seemed ready to freeze this entire Small World.

"Cough."

Su Xuanchen coughed dryly, just about to open his mouth to declare his loyalty and reject this "meat pie" that had fallen from the sky.

Who would have thought.

Gu Lingshuang's frost-covered face suddenly melted like ice and snow, blooming into a breathtaking smile.

She took a step forward, intimately taking Su Xuanchen's arm and even rubbing against him with her proud softness.

"Since Senior is so hospitable."

Gu Lingshuang's beautiful eyes flickered, her voice cloyingly sweet, yet it carried the domineering Aura of a Main Empress governing the six palaces.

"Husband, you should just agree."

"It just so happens the house is lacking a maid to serve tea and water. I see that Yan Ruyu's Bloodline is pure; to be a bed-warming maid... she's barely qualified."

"What do you say? Good husband?"

She ground those last three words out through her back teeth.

Su Xuanchen's scalp tingled.

This was a life-or-death question.

But it was also a freebie.

He read the deep meaning in Gu Lingshuang's eyes: we want the stuff, and I can tolerate the person, but you must remember who is the boss.

"Ahem, since Shuang'er has said so."

Su Xuanchen took the opportunity to follow her lead, cupping his hands to the Azure Emperor's phantom with a face full of righteousness.

"An elder's gift cannot be refused."

"Rest assured, Senior, I, Su Xuanchen, will protect the Azure Emperor Lineage."

"As long as I live, no one in this world shall touch a single hair on Yan Ruyu's head."

The Azure Emperor's phantom took a deep look at Gu Lingshuang.

He was a generation's Demon Emperor; how could he not see through these twists and turns?

This girl was a ruthless character.

Not only did she have the pride of an Immortal Emperor's Reincarnation, but she also had the means to be flexible.

"Good."

The Azure Emperor's phantom nodded, relief appearing in his eyes.

"In that case, the deal is struck."

He raised a finger and pointed.

"Buzz!"

A streak of azure light entered Su Xuanchen's brow.

A massive stream of information exploded in his mind.

The Complete Manual of the Azure Lotus Emperor Scripture, information on the Ancient Heavenly Court Legacy, and even fragments regarding that 'Road to Immortal Ascension'.

Immediately following that.

The chaos green lotus floating above the blood pool also turned into a streak of light and fell into Su Xuanchen's hand.

It felt warm to the touch but was as heavy as ten thousand tons.

A supreme dao emperor weapon!

"This heart of the demon emperor and the blood pool have been eroded by time; their energy is less than half of what it was in their prime."

The Azure Emperor's phantom began to turn transparent, his voice becoming increasingly ethereal.

"The two of you may use this to baptize your Physical Bodies and break through your Realms."

"Remember, just leave a sip of soup for my descendant."

"Her strength is low; having too much would be a disaster."

This truly was a biological ancestor.

To find a backer for his descendant, he had truly emptied out the family coffers.

Su Xuanchen looked at the Emperor Weapon in his hand, then at that still-beating heart of the demon emperor.

He was in no hurry to collect them.

"Buzz!"

With a flip of his hand, he sacrificed that bronze-rusted broken jar lid—the immortal suppressing emperor jar.

"Go."

The Emperor Jar suspended in mid-air, casting down a black light that scanned the heart of the demon emperor and the chaos green lotus three times inside and out.

Only after confirming there were no remnant souls for Possession and no cursed Restrictions did he feel at ease to put them away.

"Carefulness is the key to longevity."

Su Xuanchen grinned.

This scene made the corners of the nearly dissipated Azure Emperor's phantom's mouth twitch.

This kid... not only was his talent a Prodigy, but his mind was also as full of holes as a lotus root.

"Peerless Luck, meticulous mind."

"It seems I have placed the right bet."

The Azure Emperor's phantom took one last look at this world he had guarded for ten thousand years and let out a long sigh.

"A great era is rising, and all races are struggling to cross."

"Go..."

"Take a look for me at those so-called... Immortals."

The voice fell.

The phantom scattered.

The last trace left in the world by a generation's Demon Emperor was completely erased.

The entire Imperial Palace fell into a brief silence.

Su Xuanchen bowed slightly toward the void.

This was the minimum respect for an Emperor who had once achieved great military feats for both the Human Race and the Yao Race.

"Let's go."

Su Xuanchen straightened up, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"Since we've taken someone's money, we have to eliminate their troubles."

"Counting the time, that group of 'uninvited guests' should be arriving."

...Outside the Imperial Palace, on the plaza.

"Rumble—!"

Two streaks of light, one after another, arrogantly smashed through the palace gate's Restrictions and rushed in.

It was precisely Yan Ruyu, Jin Yu, and their party.

"We're here!"

Yan Ruyu immediately saw that blood pool and the two figures beside it.

When she saw that the chaos green lotus had already been taken, her face turned as pale as paper.

"The Emperor Weapon... is gone?!"

That was the last hope of her Azure Emperor Lineage!

"Hahaha! Someone beat us to it!"

Jin Yu stood on the Golden War Chariot, his greedy gaze sweeping over Su Xuanchen and Gu Lingshuang, finally fixing on Gu Lingshuang's face.

Stunning.

Even more cold, elegant, and domineering than Yan Ruyu.

"Top-tier! Both are top-tier!"

Jin Yu licked his lips, his eyes full of lewdness.

"Kill the man and take back the items."

"Keep the woman."

"This Saint wants to engage in Dual Cultivation tonight and try the taste of this Human Race beauty!"

He waved his hand dismissively, full of contempt.

"Do it!"

"Yes!"

Behind him, three Yao Race Great Sages, who had long been ready, rushed out with cruel smiles.

"Kid, when you're reincarnated in your next life, remember to keep your eyes open..."

"Boom!"

Three Great Sage Realm pressures bore down on Su Xuanchen like overwhelming waves.

These three were all veteran Great Sages; they used killing moves from the start, intending to settle it quickly.

Seeing this, although Yan Ruyu felt some pity, she did not speak to stop them.

The Emperor Weapon being taken was the lifeblood of the Azure Emperor Lineage.

At this moment, as long as she could get the Emperor Weapon back, what did it matter if she used someone else to do the killing?

However.

Faced with the encirclement of three Great Sages.

Su Xuanchen didn't even lift an eyelid.

He just sighed softly.

"I gave you a chance."

"Since you insist on seeking death..."

"Then I shall grant it to you."

Su Xuanchen moved.

He didn't sacrifice any Magic Treasures, nor did he display any earth-shattering Divine Abilities.

He simply raised his right hand.

And slapped.

"Slap!"

This crisp sound was exceptionally piercing in the empty Imperial Palace.

Time seemed to freeze.

Those three aggressive Yao Race Great Sages couldn't even see Su Xuanchen's movement clearly.

A massive force struck them hard in the face.

That was the power of a Great Sage Hegemon!

It was the ultimate physical strength tempered through the Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Primordial Demon Body!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three clouds of blood mist exploded in mid-air without any warning.

No screams.

No struggle.

The three Great Sages, along with their Primordial Spirits, were directly slapped into nothingness by that one strike.

Like three mosquitoes being swatted to death.

Quiet.

So quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Jin Yu, who had been clamoring, stopped his cruel smile abruptly.

His mouth hung wide open, his eyes bulging.

"This... how is this possible?!"

Those were three Great Sages!

Not three cabbages!

All gone with one slap?!

Yan Ruyu was even more horrified, covering her red lips, her eyes full of fear.

This Human Race man... just who was he?!

"You... who are you?!"

Jin Yu's voice was trembling, and his legs began to shake uncontrollably.

"Who I am is not important."

Su Xuanchen clapped his hands as if dusting them off, walking toward Jin Yu step by step.

With every step, the Aura on his body rose a notch.

Until finally.

That Great Sage Hegemon's pressure, like a Primordial Divine Mountain, bore down heavily on Jin Yu.

"What's important is..."

"You said just now that you wanted to kill me?"

"And sleep with my woman?"

Su Xuanchen walked up to the Golden War Chariot, looking up at the high-and-mighty Jin Yu with cold eyes.

"Now, I'll give you a chance."

"Come down."

"Speak while kneeling."

"In your dreams!"

Driven to a dead end, Jin Yu's eyes showed madness.

"I am the Gold Emperor Saint! The Bloodline of an Emperor flows within me!"

"If you dare kill me, the Gold Emperor Lineage will never let you go!"

"Invite the Old Ancestor's Dharma Body!"

He crushed a golden jade talisman.

"Rumble—!"

A vast, majestic, and terrifying breath beyond the Great Sage level erupted from the shattered jade talisman.

Thousands of golden lights.

A Quasi-Emperor Divine Thought!

"Who dares harm my descendant?!"

That phantom let out a sky-shaking roar, the sound waves turning into physical golden blades capable of slicing through the firmament.

"Hahahaha! Kid, you're dead!"

Jin Yu laughed wildly, his face distorted.

"This is my clan's Quasi-Emperor Old Ancestor's Divine Thought! Even a Great Sage Hegemon must die!"

"Quasi-Emperor?"

Su Xuanchen looked at that majestic Quasi-Emperor Divine Thought and let out a disdainful cold laugh.

"This trick again?"

"Do you really think Quasi-Emperors are like cabbages, and any random cat or dog can scare me?"

He reached out with a backhand grab.

That black, unremarkable broken jar lid appeared in his hand.

"I was just worrying about where to test this."

"I'll use you to break it in!"

Su Xuanchen's internal spiritual power frantically poured into the Emperor Jar.

"Buzz!"

That grimacing face mark, neither crying nor smiling, lit up.

A Supreme Emperor Might that made the myriad worlds tremble was revived.

"This is... a supreme dao emperor weapon?!"

The originally invincible Quasi-Emperor Divine Thought phantom felt this Aura, and the majesty in its eyes vanished, leaving only fear.

"No! This is impossible! How could you have..."

"Too much nonsense."

Su Xuanchen didn't give him a chance to speak at all.

He swung the jar lid in his hand like a brick.

And smashed it hard toward that Quasi-Emperor Divine Thought's forehead.

"Off you go!"

"Boom—!"

A loud explosion.

There was no suspense.

That Quasi-Emperor Divine Thought, capable of suppressing a region, was as fragile as a bubble before the revived Emperor Jar.

It was directly smashed to pieces!

The golden light shattered across the sky.

And the jar lid's momentum didn't decrease as it slammed into Jin Yu.

"Poof!"

Jin Yu didn't even have time to scream.

The entire person, along with that Golden War Chariot, was directly smashed into a meat pie.

Both body and soul were destroyed.

"Tsk."

Su Xuanchen gestured to recall the jar lid and blew the dust off it.

"Using an Emperor Weapon to smash people is indeed handy."

"It's just a bit taxing on spiritual power."

He turned around and looked at Yan Ruyu, who was already scared silly.

At this moment, where did Yan Ruyu have even a hint of the Yao Race Princess's majesty?

Her face was pale, her body stiff, and the way she looked at Su Xuanchen was as if she were looking at a demon god crawling out of Hell.

Escape!

She had to escape!

This man was a monster! A monster who could smash a Quasi-Emperor Divine Thought with a single brick!

Without a second thought, Yan Ruyu directly burned her essence blood, activating the Green Wood Divine Boat beneath her feet, turning into a green light to rush out of the Imperial Palace.
