87: A quasi-emperor is pressing in!

Outside the boundary wall of the Kunxu Divine Domain.

The spatial barrier, which was once as solid as an iron bucket, was torn open from the outside like a piece of fragile paper.

"Cira—!"

A tooth-aching sound of shattering echoed through heaven and earth.

A massive Chaos foot crushed the Void Realm and stepped arrogantly into the territory of the Kunxu Divine Domain.

Immediately following...

Several terrifyingly powerful auras surged like billows of smoke, sweeping across hundreds of millions of miles.

Leading them was an old man dressed in a Chaos Dao robe.

His hair and beard were completely white, and within his opening and closing eyes, a faint scene of collapsing galaxies appeared.

A Quasi-Emperor!

The Grand Elder of the Chaos Holy Land, Quasi-Emperor Tai Yu!

Behind him, Gu Hao was clad in Chaos Divine Armor, his face gloomy, surrounded by the powerful aura of someone who had just achieved a Breakthrough into the Saint Realm.

Besides them, there were five Dao Protectors at the Peak of the Great Saint Realm, all part of the Chaos Holy Land's foundation.

"This is the Kunxu Divine Domain?"

Quasi-Emperor Tai Yu stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze disdainful as if he were inspecting his own back garden.

"The Spiritual Qi is thin, and the Laws are incomplete."

"As expected, it is a land of barbarians."

"Fellow Daoist Tai Yu, aren't you looking down on me a bit too much?"

An aged yet majestic voice rang out.

Ripples appeared in the Void Realm.

An old man in a scholar's robe appeared out of thin air, blocking the way.

The Dean of the Hun Kun Academy.

He was also a Quasi-Emperor!

With a grim expression, he stared at Tai Yu's group.

"Tearing the boundary wall and forcing your way into the Divine Domain—does the Chaos Holy Land wish to start a Domain war?"

"A Domain war?"

Quasi-Emperor Tai Yu sneered, his cloudy old eyes filled with contempt.

"With you? Are you even worthy?"

"My visit today is solely for a personal vendetta."

He took a step forward, and the terrifying pressure of a Fifth-Layer Quasi-Emperor bore down on the Dean without reservation.

"Azure Revered Master has given the order."

"That boy named Su Xuanchen must die."

"If your Hun Kun Academy tries to stop us, you will be making an enemy of the Azure Revered Master and the entire Chaos Holy Land."

Upon hearing the name 'Azure Revered Master,' the Dean's pupils constricted.

That person was a Peak Quasi-Emperor!

A being with half a foot in the Great Emperor Domain!

To offend such a colossus and even risk the entire academy for a junior from the True Saint Continent?

It wasn't worth it.

The anger in the Dean's eyes dissipated, replaced by a deep sense of helplessness.

"Although Su Xuanchen is a Prodigy of our Divine Domain, he acts arrogantly and has many enemies."

"Since it is a personal grudge..."

The Dean stepped aside, clearing the path.

"I... saw nothing."

"At least you are sensible."

Quasi-Emperor Tai Yu snorted coldly and, leading Gu Hao and the others, strode arrogantly through the boundary wall, heading straight for the True Saint Continent.

As Gu Hao passed the Dean, a cruel smirk curled on his lips.

"Su Xuanchen..."

"Let's see who can save you now!"

After they had left...

The Dean looked toward the True Saint Continent and sighed.

"What a pity for such a promising seed."

"The tree that stands out in the forest will surely be destroyed by the wind."

Eternal Radiance Imperial Court, the Ninth Princess's Manor.

"What did you say?!"

A delighted shout shattered the glass lamps in the hall.

The Ninth Princess stood up abruptly, her beautiful eyes sparkling with excitement as she stared at the hidden guard kneeling on the floor.

"Su Xuanchen... he really cut down a Quasi-Emperor's Divine Thought? And even unified the True Saint Continent?"

"Reporting to the Princess, it is absolutely true!"

The hidden guard's voice was filled with excitement.

"The Su Family has now been promoted to an Ancient Clan, and the Golden Dragon of Destiny has appeared, shaking the entire Divine Domain!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

The Ninth Princess was so excited that her face flushed crimson, and she paced back and forth in the hall.

"As expected of the man I've set my heart on!"

"I knew nothing in this world could stump him!"

But then...

The hidden guard's tone shifted, becoming solemn.

"However, Princess... according to reports from scouts, the Quasi-Emperors of the Chaos Holy Land have already crossed the boundary."

"On the side of the Crimson Blood Imperial Court, the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Daughter has also set out with a supreme weapon."

"There are even... traces of experts from the True Phoenix Clan."

"The Su Family is in imminent danger!"

The smile froze on the Ninth Princess's face.

A sky-shattering Evil Qi erupted from her petite body.

"They dare to move against my husband?"

"They are seeking death!"

She swept her sleeves, her Phoenix robe snapping in the wind.

"Pass the order!"

"Request the two Phoenix Venerables to end their seclusion!"

"Bring all my resources and follow me to reinforce the True Saint Continent!"

"I'll see who dares to touch a single hair of the Su Family!"

"Yes!"

The hidden guard took the order and left.

A moment later...

Two terrifying auras awakened in the depths of the Princess's Manor.

Those were two Dao Protectors at the Quasi-Emperor level.

However...

Just as the Ninth Princess was fully prepared and about to charge out of the Imperial Capital...

"Rumble—!"

Above the Imperial Capital, the city-protecting array suddenly activated.

A golden light screen sealed off heaven and earth.

Squads of golden-armored Imperial Guards flooded in like a tide, surrounding the Princess's Manor so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak through.

In the Void Realm...

A young man wearing a Crown Prince's python robe, holding a golden mace that radiated a Supreme aura, looked down at the Ninth Princess.

The First Prince, Ji Ling.

Behind him stood four Quasi-Emperors and dozens of Great Saints.

This lineup was enough to wipe out any super power.

"Ninth Sister, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Ji Ling toyed with the supreme weapon in his hand, laughing playfully.

"Get lost!"

The Ninth Princess's Phoenix eyes were filled with Evil Qi as a crimson longsword appeared in her hand.

"Ji Ling, I don't have time for your nonsense."

"Step aside if you don't want to die!"

"Step aside?"

Ji Ling laughed, a look of extreme malice in his eyes.

"My dear sister, you probably don't know yet, do you?"

"That wild man of yours is about to die."

"The Chaos Holy Land, the Crimson Blood Imperial Court, and... the True Phoenix Clan."

He deliberately emphasized the last four words.

"With a three-way encirclement, not even an immortal could save him."

The Ninth Princess's heart sank.

"The True Phoenix Clan... you were the one who notified them?"

"Clever."

Ji Ling clapped his hands, his eyes full of vengeful pleasure.

"I didn't just notify them."

"I also told Phoenix Void Dao the full story of how you lost your virginity to that kid in the Lower Realm, adding plenty of extra details."

"You know that the True Phoenix Clan values Bloodline purity above all else."

"Guess what Phoenix Void Dao will do?"

"He will extract the soul and refine the spirit of that wild man who defiled the True Phoenix Bloodline, ensuring he can never be reincarnated!"

"Boom!"

The last string in the Ninth Princess's mind snapped.

That was her deepest secret.

And the person she wanted to protect most.

Now, her own biological brother was using it as a bargaining chip to push her lover into the abyss.

"Ji Ling..."

The Ninth Princess lowered her head, her voice terrifyingly low.

"You deserve to die."

"What did you say?"

Ji Ling thought he had misheard and picked his ear.

"I said..."

The Ninth Princess snapped her head up.

Her eyes, which were originally clear black and white, had turned into a pool of crimson gold.

That was the sign of the True Phoenix Bloodline going completely berserk.

"You! Deserve! To! Die!"

"Buzz—!"

A clear Phoenix cry echoed through the nine heavens.

A set of blood-red armor with lava-like patterns flowing over it appeared out of thin air, covering the Ninth Princess.

supreme weapon—Ancestral Phoenix Battle Armor!

"Today."

"I shall kill my brother to prove my Dao!"

"I'll see who dares to stop me!"

Boom!

The Ninth Princess moved.

She transformed into a True Phoenix undergoing Rebirth through fire, holding her crimson longsword, and charged recklessly at Ji Ling in the sky.

"Crazy! You're crazy!"

Ji Ling turned pale with shock and hurriedly activated his golden mace to defend himself.

"Stop her! Dead or alive!"

"Kill!"

The two Phoenix Venerable Dao Protectors were also enraged.

"You dare to bully our Young Miss?"

"This old woman will tear your bones apart!"

The great battle erupted.

The entire Eternal Radiance Imperial Capital was reduced to a battlefield.

The collision of Quasi-Emperors and the roar of supreme weapons made countless Cultivators tremble.

No one had expected...

That the usually willful and cute Ninth Princess...

For the sake of a man...

Would actually dare to start a civil war in the Imperial Capital and even try to kill her own biological brother!
