221: Chapter 221 May everyone in the world be like a dragon.

It made the Immortal Emperor's hair stand on end.

"He was diligent throughout his life, wishing for all people under heaven to be like dragons, without distinction between immortal and mortal, noble or base."

"He built water conservancy projects, provided disaster relief, lowered taxes and levies, and never failed his subjects."

"But what about you all?"

"Just because the Yin Shang Dynasty under his leadership believed in the strength of the people themselves, did not believe in deities, and did not hold grand sacrifices to worship you all like the previous dynasties did."

"You treated him as a thorn in your side, a festering splinter."

"You colluded with rebels, spread rumors, and brought down disasters."

"You even went so far as to personally intervene, setting up death traps."

"He was such a gentle person, his mind filled only with his subjects, his nation, his women..."

"Yet, he never had himself in mind."

"Yet... you still forced his nation to fall and his family to be destroyed, forced him to be abandoned by all, forced him to his final breath."

"And in the end, you even hung his corpse on the gallows, subjecting him to every humiliation!"

"Just for your pathetic bit of incense, just for your eternal, unchanging immortal authority..."

"Such a Heavenly Dao, such an Immortal Court..."

She stared fixedly at the Immortal Emperor, spitting out the last four words, one by one.

"What use is there in keeping it?!"

Before the words had even faded, her figure had already vanished.

The next instant, she appeared before the Immortal Emperor's throne.

Her wedding dress billowed, and her blood-stained jade hand, shaped like a hook, struck directly at the Immortal Emperor's face.

Su Daji's true form was, after all, a Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.

Her physical strength had reached a level almost on par with the laws of reality.

"Presumptuous!"

The Immortal Emperor's expression changed drastically, his imperial might erupting as nine dragon-shaped phantoms began to slowly form behind him.

Various colors of immortal light and divine thunder spewed from the giant dragons' mouths, weaving into a net.

At the same time, the Immortal Emperor struck out with his palm.

A massive, ancient phantom of a divine seal appeared abruptly in the air, suppressing downward toward Su Daji.

Being able to rule the Immortal Realm, the Immortal Emperor was, after all, not without his own capabilities.

Its power was far beyond that of the immortals and deities encountered before.

However.

Su Daji was not the least bit afraid.

She raised her hand and struck out with a pink claw mark.

That small claw mark moved to meet the divine seal and immortal light.

"Boom—!"

The claw mark collided violently with the divine seal and immortal light.

For a moment, the entire Lingxiao Treasure Hall shook violently.

The dome cracked, and the jade pillars groaned.

Su Daji stumbled back half a step, a wisp of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

The Immortal Emperor let out a muffled groan; the divine seal in the air had actually shattered, and the nine dragon phantoms behind him had dimmed significantly.

The color drained from his face, and for the first time, a look of horror appeared in his eyes.

This demon fox's power... had it actually grown to such a degree?

What he did not know was.

That what was currently defeating him.

Was precisely what he had spent most of his life, using all sorts of dirty means, to pursue.

Incense Vow Power.

The Incense Vow Power of the entire Heavenly Court had been devoured by Su Daji.

Its power was bound to be terrifyingly immense.

Without waiting for him to catch his breath, Su Daji lunged again.

This time, the phantoms of her nine massive fox tails suddenly appeared behind her.

Carrying violent demonic power and terrifying murderous intent.

They lashed and coiled crazily toward the Immortal Emperor.

The Immortal Emperor roared repeatedly, no longer holding back, using all his methods.

Various life-bound imperial arts for suppressing destiny and ruling the heavens, as well as companion immortal treasures, were all brought forth.

They battled fiercely with the nine-tailed phantoms.

The once peaceful Lingxiao Treasure Hall had become the most cruel battlefield.

Wherever the two clashed.

Laws shattered, and space twisted.

This battle had transcended the scope of ordinary immortal and deity duels.

Su Daji was fighting completely with her life on the line, disregarding her own injuries, attacking without defending.

Oh, it shouldn't be said that she was only attacking without defending.

Her protective spiritual light was entirely focused on shrouding the corpse of Su Chen on her back.

With every collision, she spat out blood, and the red on her wedding dress deepened.

But as long as she got close to the Immortal Emperor, the densest Incense Vow Power on this leader of the Immortal Realm became her best nourishment.

Even Su Chen himself had not realized it.

Originally, Su Daji's cultivation method did not have the ability to devour Incense Vow Power.

But it so happened that he, this "sacrifice," was the Human Emperor, and could be considered the bearer of the mortal world's Incense Vow Power.

Under such a wondrous chemical reaction.

Su Daji gained the ability to endlessly replenish her cultivation.

The more she fought, the stronger she became; the more she fought, the madder she became.

The Immortal Emperor's Incense Vow Power and the origin of his Imperial Dao.

Were constantly being devoured by her nine-tailed phantoms during the collisions.

"Why?!"

"I rule the Three Realms and maintain the Heavenly Dao; what have I done wrong?"

The Immortal Emperor roared amidst the storm-like attacks.

Attempting to shake her heart with words.

"Maintain the Heavenly Dao?"

"Hahaha..."

Su Daji laughed wildly, smashing a magical treasure the Immortal Emperor had brought forth with one tail.

With a backhand claw, she left a bloodstain on his shoulder deep enough to see the bone.

"The Heavenly Dao of your Immortal Realm is to have mortals forever kneel, begging for alms."

"It is to have a heroic ruler wrongly accused, unable to die in peace."

"It is to have true love turned to ashes!"

"My husband said that he wished for all people under heaven to be like dragons!"

"All of this is built on the premise that you, this fake dragon, are executed today!"

The battle did not last long.

Under the crushing weight of absolute strength.

Soon.

The immortal crown on the Immortal Emperor's head shattered instantly under the bombardment of Su Daji's nine tails.

And the nine-dragon phantoms behind him were so weak that they were completely invisible.

The clothes on his body were torn to shreds.

Revealing the rapidly aging and withered immortal body beneath.

That was the sign of his body rapidly decaying after the loss of Incense Vow Power.

Su Daji's nine-tailed phantoms tightly coiled around him.

The sharp tail tips pressed against his brow, throat, heart, and other vital points.

This battle was not won easily by Su Daji.

She herself was in a miserable state.

Some of the magical treasures the Immortal Emperor brought forth made her use up almost all the Incense Vow Power she had collected along the way and had just snatched from the Immortal Emperor.

The spiritual power in her body was also almost exhausted.

Although she still looked graceful in her wedding dress, she had sustained many internal injuries.

Su Daji, carrying Su Chen on her back, stood before the throne, looking down from above.

Watching the Immortal Emperor, who was pinned in mid-air by the fox tails, on the verge of death.

The Immortal Emperor's cloudy eyes looked at her, then at the cold corpse on her back.

The last glimmer of light in his eyes faded away.

"All... like dragons?"

"Ridiculous... defying... the heavens..."

"Don't talk about... those reincarnations."

"Today, you have incurred so much karmic debt from killing; do you really think you... can continue to live?"

"Defying the heavens?"

Su Daji smiled slightly.

"The immortals and deities of the Immortal Realm are all dead."

"From this day on, I am the Heaven."

As her words fell.

The nine tails twisted together.

A generation of the Immortal Emperor, who had ruled the Three Realms for who knows how many epochs.

In the end, met the fate of his divine body collapsing and his imperial soul dissipating.

"Rumble..."

The Immortal Emperor fell, and the last foundation of the Heavenly Palace seemed to collapse along with him.

Further away, there came the continuous sound of palaces collapsing.

Even if there were some minor immortals who were lucky enough to survive, under the total collapse of the Heavenly Palace, they lost their divine status and fell into the void.

Having lost their divine status, they fell from such a great height.

All that awaited them was death.
