126: Empress Cangwu!
The moment his Divine Thought locked on, the Sixth Ancestor felt the space around him instantly solidify, as if flowing water had turned into indestructible black ice, trapping him firmly in place.
He cursed silently in his heart, knowing that he had ultimately alerted the master of this divine palace.
The next moment, a figure appeared out of thin air in the treasure chamber.
It was a woman wearing an imperial robe with silver-white Dragon patterns. She had a tall figure and a stunningly beautiful face, her long, jet-black hair tied up with a simple jade hairpin, and a cinnabar mark between her brows, adding to her sense of holiness and majesty.
She simply stood there quietly, not releasing any aura, yet she possessed an Emperors Might that reigned over the Cangwu and controlled the universe.
Her ice-blue eyes landed calmly on the Sixth Ancestor, as if looking at a clown.
The Cangwu Empress, Han Yueyi!
"It's actually the Empress?" The Sixth Ancestor felt a shiver in his heart.
He could feel that the woman before him was even more powerful than he had imagined. She did not look like someone who had only Attained the Dao for a thousand years.
"Put down the item and commit suicide, and I can leave your corpse intact."
Han Yueyi's voice was as cold as ice, devoid of any emotion, as if she were proclaiming an unquestionable imperial decree.
Hearing this, the Sixth Ancestor laughed. He shook his trapped body, and instead of feeling fear, he looked at Han Yueyi with interest, licking his lips.
"An Empress, huh? I wonder what her rating is. It would be great if Yuaner were here. But taking her down should get Yuaner quite a few good things, right?"
"Yo, Empress, you're quite a beauty, but your temper is a bit too big. You want to kill right away? That's so unharmonious. You should change that. My Yuaner likes girls who are obedient, sensible, and willing to do the work themselves."
When had the Empress of Yuedu ever heard such frivolous and rude words? For the first time, a crack appeared on her unchanging, icy face.
A tangible killing intent erupted from her body!
"You seek death!" She lifted a jade finger and pointed it from afar at the Sixth Ancestor.
A thin, silver-white ray of light that seemed ready to extinguish at any moment ignored the distance of space and time, instantly appearing before the Sixth Ancestor's brow. [Divine Light of Extinction]!
This was the supreme Law unique to the Cangwu Great World and the foundation of Han Yueyi's attainment of the Dao as an Emperor. With one point of her finger, she could cause any living being below the Emperor level, along with their Divine Soul and Dao mark, to return to total extinction.
However, at the very moment the Divine Light of Extinction was about to touch the Sixth Ancestor's brow, his body suddenly became illusory, like a reflection in water.
With a soft "pop" sound, the Divine Light of Extinction pierced through his head without causing a drop of blood. The figure turned into specks of moonlight and dissipated on the spot.
Behind Han Yueyi, the Sixth Ancestor's figure condensed once more. In his hand, he had somehow procured an emperor slaying sword (imitation) that seemed to still be stained with black blood. He lunged fiercely toward Han Yueyi's back.
Taiyin Youying Sacred Body, three thousand Incarnations, indistinguishable between true and false!
"Clang!" However, the emperor slaying sword (imitation), which was capable of piercing an Emperor's divine body, was blocked by an invisible barrier when it was three inches from Han Yueyi's back, emitting a crisp ringing sound.
The Sixth Ancestor knew that this was likely some kind of protective Ultimate Imperial Weapon she was carrying.
Han Yueyi didn't even turn around, just coldly snorted. With her at the center, the area within ten thousand miles instantly transformed into an absolute Domain. [Domain of the Moon God]!
Within the Domain, all Laws were repelled, time was autonomous, and all external forces were under her control.
The Sixth Ancestor felt an irresistible force strike him, and his body flew backward uncontrollably, returning to its original position, maintaining the state before he had pulled out the emperor slaying sword.
"You're quite strong." He steadied his figure and looked at the unscathed Han Yueyi, the excitement in his eyes intensifying.
He was currently just a Clone, carrying less than one-tenth of his main body's power, so naturally, he could not fight a peak-state Emperor head-on. The goal of this Clone was simple: gather information and run away with the treasure.
"Beauty Empress, your grandfather isn't going to play with you anymore." The Sixth Ancestor laughed loudly, his body becoming illusory again. This time, he split into three, turning into three identical figures and fleeing in three different directions.
Han Yueyi's phoenix eyes turned cold, her Divine Thought instantly locking onto the three figures. With a wave of her jade hand, three rays of Divine Light of Extinction shot out simultaneously, accurately piercing through two of the figures. However, those two figures were still just phantoms and dissipated upon impact.
"Not good!" Han Yueyi was shocked and suddenly looked up at the dome of the treasure chamber.
There, the last figure had somehow appeared. He was pressing one hand on the newly acquired youying immortal net, while the other hand was raised toward her with a middle finger, a smug smile on his face.
"Boom!" The Sixth Ancestor did not hesitate to detonate several Clones along with the emperor slaying sword (imitation). A terrifying energy storm swept out.
Han Yueyi's expression changed. To protect the people of Yuedu, she had to maintain the Domain of the Moon God so it wouldn't be overwhelmed by the explosion of the emperor weapon.
Taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the Sixth Ancestor's figure completely merged into the Void Realm and vanished, leaving behind only a cheeky remark echoing in the treasure chamber.
"Empress, just wait for my grandson to come and deal with you later. Hahaha..."
"Bang!" Han Yueyi struck out with a palm, the terrifying Emperors Might shattering the space in front of her into nothingness, but there was no trace of the Sixth Ancestor left.
She stood in the chaotic treasure chamber, her stunning face covered in a layer of impenetrable frost. Her chest heaved violently, showing that her heart was far from calm.
Shock! Anger! Someone, a man, not only snuck into her Sleeping Quarters and stole her treasure, but also escaped calmly right under her nose! He even dared to tease her!
He wanted his grandson to come and deal with her? This was a humiliation she had never faced in the thousand years she had ruled the Cangwu Great World!
She carefully sensed the lingering Dao rhyme in the air—cold, bizarre, yet carrying a nobility originating from the primordial beginning. This was a completely alien male Dao she had never seen before!
"Come here!" Han Yueyi's cold voice instantly spread throughout the entire divine palace.
"Seal the Cangwu, full alert across the territory! In my name, calculate the heavenly secrets. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must drag this thief out for me!"
The brilliant Emperors Might, like a rushing heavenly river, swept across the entire Cangwu Great World.
That night, the Cangwu did not sleep. Countless sleeping powerhouses were awakened, and countless Old Ancestors in seclusion broke out of their retreats. They looked in horror toward Yuedu, feeling the Empress's unprecedented and monstrous rage. They didn't understand why, but they were silent as cicadas in winter.
The entire Cangwu Great World, this precise machine that had been running smoothly for countless ten thousand years, revealed its ferocious fangs for the first time at this moment. The clouds of war began to gather over this land ruled by women.
