91: The quasi-emperor fell and the heavens wept; this empress was too ruthless.

In the outer starry sky, a bloody wind and rain raged.

As that ten-thousand-zhang black fire phoenix shattered, the entire Star Domain seemed to have its pause button pressed.

Immediately afterward.

"Rumble—!"

The Great Dao wailed, and blood rained down in torrents.

This torrential rain of blood was no ordinary thing; it was blood rain containing fragments of Law.

A Quasi-Emperor had fallen, and heaven and earth mourned together!

Within the Kunxu Divine Domain, countless Cultivators looked up at the sky.

They saw the originally ink-black night sky dyed a tragic blood-red, as if the heavens had split open with a terrifying wound, weeping silently.

"Heavenly Weeping..."

Deep within the Hun Kun Academy, the two Old Ancestors who had been watching the battle felt their chess pieces fall onto the board with a "clack."

They glanced at each other, both seeing the shock in the other's eyes.

"The True Phoenix Clan's Quasi-Emperor... is dead?!"

"One finger... just one finger!"

A sharp light burst from the murky eyes of the white-haired Old Ancestor on the left.

"This lad has truly come into his own!"

"To slay a Quasi-Emperor from a Lower Realm—this is a myth unprecedented through the ages! Even the Chaos Great Emperor of old could not have achieved this at his age!"

The black-robed Old Ancestor on the right was so excited his beard trembled, and he slapped his thigh.

"What are you still standing there for?!"

"Pass down the order! Deploy all the hidden foundations of the Hun Kun Academy!"

"Break the ancestral teachings of neutrality!"

"From this day forth, Su Xuanchen is the 'Dao Child' of our academy! Whoever dares to touch him will be an eternal enemy of our Hun Kun Academy!"

It is easy to add flowers to a bouquet, but difficult to provide charcoal in the snow.

While Su Xuanchen didn't seem to need help right now, taking a side at this moment was a clear statement of their stance!

...In the True Saint Continent, before the Purple Heaven Palace.

The battle had reached a fever pitch—or rather, it was a one-sided slaughter.

*Pfft!*

Yan Ruyu had half of the immortal suppressing emperor jar above her head, which shed wisps of dark light.

Every wisp of dark light was as heavy as billions of catties.

A Great Saint expert from the Chaos Holy Land didn't even have time to scream before being crushed into a pool of mush.

"Too weak."

Yan Ruyu shook her head, her beautiful face filled with indifference.

And on the other side.

*Clang—!*

A crisp sound of impact.

Ao Qing held the half-jar lid Su Xuanchen had given her, using it like a brick to smash hard against the back of Phoenix Void Dao's head.

"That's for being so arrogant!"

"That's for wanting to catch me as a mount!"

"This lady will smash you to death!"

Phoenix Void Dao saw stars, his protective divine light shattered, and he stumbled to the ground.

With his hair disheveled and face covered in blood, where was the elegance of a True Phoenix Imperial Son?

"Damn it... damn it all!"

Phoenix Void Dao's eyes were bloodshot, his heart filled with humiliation and fear.

He had sensed it.

Just now, the Heavenly Weeping phenomenon had descended.

That meant... his Dao Protector, that powerful Quasi-Emperor, had fallen!

Dead at the hands of Su Xuanchen!

"Impossible... this is impossible..."

Phoenix Void Dao's Dao Heart was on the verge of collapsing.

That was a Quasi-Emperor!

Just what kind of monster was Su Xuanchen?!

"Distracted?"

A cold voice, like the whisper of a death god, rang in his ear.

Ao Qing didn't give him a moment to breathe, swinging the jar lid in a wide arc again.

"Begone!"

*Bang!*

Half of Phoenix Void Dao's facial bones were smashed, and he flew backward, crashing heavily into the ruins, his fate unknown.

At the same time.

At the very center of the battlefield.

It was deathly silent here, sending shivers down one's spine.

"Ah—!"

An agonizing scream made the surrounding Cultivators who were still fighting shudder.

Gu Hao was covered in blood, his limbs twisted at strange angles, slumped on the ground.

He wanted to die.

But he couldn't.

Because above his head, a chaos green lotus swayed gently.

Every time his life hung by a thread, the green lotus would shed a divine light of creation, repairing his damaged Physical Body and dragging him back from the gates of hell.

And then.

The killing continued.

"Gu Lingshuang... kill me... just kill me!"

Gu Hao's face was covered in tears and snot; his mind had completely broken.

This torture of repeatedly hovering on the edge of life and death was more painful than death by a thousand cuts.

"Kill you?"

Gu Lingshuang was dressed in white as pure as snow, untainted by a single speck of dust.

She looked down at this "younger brother" who was squirming like a maggot, her eyes filled with satisfaction and devoid of mercy.

"When you dug out my Myriad Tribulations Dao Bone back then, did you ever imagine this day?"

"You called me a cripple, a piece of trash."

"Now, who is the trash?"

*Pfft!*

She flicked her finger.

A burst of icy Sword Qi pierced through Gu Hao's Dantian.

"Ah!!!"

Gu Hao screamed again, his body convulsing violently.

"This sword strike is for the Gu Lingshuang who was abandoned by you in the Lower Realm and suffered endless humiliation."

*Buzz!*

The divine light of creation fell, and the wound healed.

*Pfft!*

Another burst of Sword Qi severed Gu Hao's Meridians.

"This sword strike is for the members of the Su Family who died in battle."

Healing, then striking.

Healing again, then striking again.

How was this a battle?

This was clearly a meticulously designed feast of punishment!

The venom in Gu Hao's eyes had long since vanished, replaced by endless fear and pleading.

"Sis... Sister... please..."

"I'm your brother... we share the same blood..."

"Shut up."

Gu Lingshuang's gaze turned cold as she stepped on his face, grinding it down.

"You are not worthy."

"From the moment you raised a hand against me, we were nothing but enemies."

She raised her longsword, pointing it at the center of Gu Hao's forehead.

"I've had enough fun."

"It's time to go."

The aura of death enveloped him.

Gu Hao sensed true killing intent.

This time, Gu Lingshuang would not save him again.

"No! I refuse to accept this!"

"Revered Master, save me!!"

In his desperation, Gu Hao used the last of his strength to crush a green token hidden deep within his Storage Ring.

That was the life-saving trump card given to him by the Azure Revered Master!

"Crack!"

The token shattered.

A vast, ancient, and terrifying aura from the dawn of Chaos erupted over the Purple Heaven Palace without warning.

"Rumble—!"

The sky collapsed.

The sky that had been shrouded in starlight was now replaced by endless currents of Chaos.

A giant green eye slowly opened within the Chaos.

The eye was cold and heartless, looking down from on high at the ants below.

Peak Quasi-Emperor!

A supreme existence infinitely close to a Great Emperor!

"Who dares to harm my disciple?"

The voice was grand, like a decree from the Heavenly Dao, causing the blood of all the Great Saint experts present to boil and their Divine Souls to feel as if they were splitting.

*Pfft!*

Lin Miao and Lu Qingchan, whose cultivations were weaker, spat out a mouthful of blood, their faces turning pale.

Even Yan Ruyu and Ao Qing, who held Imperial Weapons, were forced back repeatedly by this pressure; their Imperial Weapons wailed, their light dimming.

Too strong!

This power was far beyond what an ordinary Quasi-Emperor could compare to!

The currents of Chaos condensed.

The figure of a woman in a green Daoist robe stepped out from the Void Realm.

The newcomer was not her true self, but merely a dao body.

But even so, the phantoms of three thousand worlds surrounding her still made one want to prostrate in worship.

Chaos Holy Land, Azure Revered Master!

"Revered Master! Save me!"

Seeing the newcomer, Gu Hao screamed frantically as if grasping at a life-saving straw.

"Kill this bitch! She wants to kill me! She's a great Devil Head!"

The Azure Revered Master scanned the scene, her gaze finally landing on the dog-like Gu Hao, and she frowned.

Trash.

With her token and so many Great Saints, he had still ended up in such a pathetic state.

If not for that Great Emperor's Legacy, she really would have wanted to slap this embarrassing thing to death.

"Hmph."

The Azure Revered Master gave a cold snort.

She reached out and grabbed.

Gu Hao's body flew up uncontrollably, landing behind her.

Then.

Her cold eyes locked onto Gu Lingshuang below.

"Eh?"

A look of surprise flashed across the Azure Revered Master's face, which then turned into deep greed.

"Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Body?"

"And a perfect Physique that has already awakened its Origin?"

She smiled.

A chilling smile.

"I didn't expect such a peerless Physique to exist in this barbaric land."

Gu Lingshuang felt a chill all over, as if being stared down by an ancient Vicious Beast.

It was a suppression of life levels.

But she was an Empress.

Even facing a Peak Quasi-Emperor, she would never bow her head!

Gu Lingshuang wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and the chaos green lotus in her hand shone brilliantly.

"Green Lotus Shines Upon the World!"

Boom!

She burned her essence blood to activate the Imperial Weapon.

The chaos green lotus swelled to ten thousand zhang in size, carrying the power to split heaven and earth as it crashed toward the Azure Revered Master.

At the same time.

"And me!"

Ao Qing also rushed forward, the lid of the immortal suppressing emperor jar in her hand glowing with dark light.

"Devouring Heaven and Earth!"

Two Imperial Weapons were unleashed together, their power shaking the heavens and the earth!

However.

The Azure Revered Master only gave a contemptuous smile.

"Imperial Weapons are good, but unfortunately... the users are too useless."

She extended a finger and tapped lightly against the Void Realm.

"Freeze."

*Buzz!*

Her words became Law.

The chaos green lotus and the immortal suppressing emperor jar, which carried the power to destroy heaven and earth, were forced to stop in mid-air.

The surrounding time and space were completely frozen.

"Begone."

The Azure Revered Master waved her hand.

*Bang!*

Ao Qing felt as if she had been struck by lightning; she and the jar lid were blown away by an irresistible force.

"Ah—!"

She screamed as her body became like a shooting star, thrown directly out of the boundary walls of the Kunxu Divine Domain, her destination unknown.

"Qing'er!"

Gu Lingshuang's eyes nearly split from rage.

"Don't be in a hurry; it's your turn."

The Azure Revered Master took a step and instantly appeared before Gu Lingshuang.

She reached out, ignoring Gu Lingshuang's protective divine light, and directly grabbed her slender neck.

*Cough...*

Gu Lingshuang's face turned red, the spiritual power within her body completely sealed, unable to even move a finger.

"What a perfect Physical Body."

The Azure Revered Master's fingers brushed against Gu Lingshuang's cheek, her eyes filled with obsession and greed.

"Come with me."

Having said that.

She waved her wide sleeve.

A green world-cage appeared out of thin air, imprisoning Gu Lingshuang within.

"Let her go!"

Yan Ruyu and the others wanted to rush forward to fight for her life.

"Noisy."

The Azure Revered Master's gaze turned cold, and she was about to casually wipe out these ants.

Suddenly.

She paused and looked up toward the outer starry sky.

There.

A terrifying fluctuation that even made her heart skip a beat was rapidly spreading.

"That is..."
