625: Fierce battle against two demon lords

The Empress frowned. After the latter Immortal Venerable appeared, the Formation shrouding the Imperial City had been reinforced significantly. Even if she were to strike to break this Formation, while it would not be very difficult, she could not do it in an instant.

And she was facing two in the Immortal Venerable Realm; even a single instant could potentially land her in a predicament.

"Your Formation was set up very quickly. Even with a Formation Plate, it is impossible to do so in such a short time, so someone must have helped you set up the Formation eyes in advance."

The Empress's voice was melodious and ethereal, carrying a hint of penetration as it spread outwards.

She had not yet identified the old man, but this youth seemed to be a Yao Race expert who had achieved a Breakthrough into the Immortal Venerable Realm in recent years. There had been disturbances in the Yao Territory before, which she had investigated at the time.

The young Yao Race Immortal Venerable looked indifferent: "Don't bother trying to stall for time. Zikui, hurry up and kill her."

Zikui was the name of that Yao Race elder. To destroy this Nine Star Empire, they had spent nearly one hundred thousand years preparing. At such a critical juncture, they could not afford any mistakes.

Zikui nodded, and the two immediately tore through the Void Realm and lunged at the Empress.

The Empress's expression was solemn. Her longsword struck out towards the two like a swimming Dragon, attempting to block their offensive. But with two Immortal Venerables joining forces, and she having only just achieved her Breakthrough, how could she possibly withstand it?

In just a single exchange, the Empress was sent flying backwards, her internal Qi surging violently.

Seeing this, Zikui roared: "Myriad Kui Great Art!"

Countless purple spiritual rays, as if possessing life, struck towards the Empress. The power contained within these purple rays was extremely bizarre; if this strike were to land on the Empress, she would likely not fare well.

"Eternal Sword!"

The Empress raised her fair palm and waved it forward. The longsword hovering above her head suddenly erupted with heaven-piercing might and struck towards Zikui.

"Bang!"

A violent explosion resounded, and the entire Imperial City trembled continuously. Some Cultivators with slightly weaker strength were even lying on the ground, clutching their heads in agony.

Although the collision between the Empress and Zikui did not erupt with very obvious energy shockwaves, the power was transmitted through the Void Realm.

Even those who already had internal injuries perished directly because of it.

The Empress retreated, her expression extremely serious.

The Nine Star Empire was her territory. She could choose to leave, but if she did, everyone within the Nine Star Empire would die, and she might not necessarily be able to escape either.

The Yao Race had made full preparations this time; it was unlikely she would be able to escape so easily.

Inside the Imperial Palace.

Li Qingyue watched everything happening in the sky, her face as pale as paper. The terrifying pressure almost made her kneel on the ground.

It was too terrifying!

"Can Your Majesty withstand it?"

Li Qingyue began to worry. The Yao Race had two Immortal Venerable powerhouses, while Your Majesty had only just achieved a Breakthrough to the Immortal Venerable Realm; there was a huge difference between them.

In the span of a few breaths, the Empress and the two Yao Race Immortal Venerables had already clashed thousands of times.

However, the Empress was retreating steadily. Her noble, pristine white dress was stained with specks of red, her eyes held a hint of fatigue, and her internal power was less than half.

Damn it!

The Empress's eyes were filled with coldness.

"Fight!"

The Empress let out a delicate shout, and the Qi within her surged to its Peak once again. This time, she actually took the initiative to lunge at the two of them.

"Seeking death!"

The young Yao Race Immortal Venerable sneered, his face full of disdain. Even if the Empress were in her prime, he would not be afraid of her in a one-on-one fight, let alone now that they were two Immortal Venerables; killing an Immortal Venerable who had just achieved a Breakthrough was more than enough.

Their Bloodline was also an extremely powerful one within the Yao Race. Converting it to the Human Race, it would at least be a Physique ranked around the top twenty, so how could they possibly fear an Empress?

However, the ferocity of the two was completely ignited. A terrifying, barbaric aura rampaged, and then they quickly lunged at the Empress.

A violent and piercing sound of collision erupted in the air.

However, before long, the Empress was sent shooting down from the sky, slamming deeply into the ground.

The young Yao Race Immortal Venerable sneered, his eyes full of contempt: "The high and mighty Empress, when facing my Yao Race, aren't you still only fit to stay on the ground? Even if you have achieved a Breakthrough to the Immortal Venerable Realm, so what? Facing our two Immortal Venerables, you will undoubtedly die today."

His voice was cold to the extreme.

The next moment.

They lunged at the Empress once again.

In the Empress's clear and translucent eyes, there was a hint of helplessness. She could only struggle to stand up to meet the enemy.

Today would likely be difficult to survive!

With the two Yao Race Immortal Venerables joining forces, this was not something she could defeat.

The Imperial City had been set with a Formation, and no news could be sent out. If she were to leave the Imperial City, everyone here would die.

Sigh!

Facing the attacks of the two Yao Race Immortal Venerables, the Empress retreated steadily. The injuries on her body became increasingly severe, her white dress had been stained blood-red, and that weak face was so pitiful to behold.

Everyone in the Imperial City watching this battle was now extremely nervous.

"Your Majesty is going to lose! Our Nine Star Empire is finished!"

"Once Your Majesty is defeated, not a single living thing will be left in the entire Imperial City. Why were we targeted by the Yao Race?"

"Damn the Yao Race!"

Some were filled with despair, some pointed at the Yao Race and roared, and others even found a place to hide, hoping the Yao Race would not discover them.

Meanwhile.

Inside the Imperial Palace, a youth's expression was somewhat complicated at this moment, and in the end, he sighed deeply.

"Mother, everything is your fault. It was originally a fair competition, why did you open a backdoor for Seventh Sister? The throne should be obtained by those with ability. It is all your fault!"

"Yes, it is all your fault!"

As he spoke, he even began to growl, a hint of scarlet color appearing in his eyes.

On his hand was a black ring, from which crawled out a beautiful woman wreathed in black Qi. She was extremely beautiful, the kind that would be considered top-tier even in this Imperial City.

Her slender waist and pitiful appearance were enough to make any man unable to resist after just one look.

"Master, you were never wrong. This is all that Empress's problem. Clearly, they are both her children, so why favor Li Qingyue? In my opinion, you are the one who most deserves the throne."

Her voice was full of seduction and temptation, making the Third Prince increasingly dazed.

The Third Prince even harbored a heaven-piercing hatred for the Nine Star Empire and even the Empress. He said with scarlet eyes: "Kill Seventh Sister, I want to kill Seventh Sister. After the Nine Star Empire is destroyed, you must hand Seventh Sister over to me. I want to kill her with my own hands!"

"Kill! Kill!"

The Third Prince kept muttering this phrase. At this moment, he was like a wild beast, his eyes having completely lost any trace of humanity.

The black-mist woman sneered, her eyes full of the taste of success.

However, just at this moment, the Third Prince trembled all over, and a sharp glint suddenly erupted in his eyes.
