184: Su Quan's body perished and his soul was extinguished.

In just a moment.

Hundreds of Immortal Kings, dozens of Immortal Emperors, and even two Emperor Venerables appeared outside the Futuo Ancient Realm.

"Heavenly Emperor, who are you trying to kill by unleashing the heavenly emperor token?"

"Could it be Zhenwu Emperor Venerable?"

The two mysterious Emperor Venerables asked loudly.

Hearing these words, the Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors who had rushed over couldn't help but frown.

Zhenwu Emperor Venerable possessed monstrous strength and was a top-ranked, peerless expert in the Immortal Realm.

If they truly fought to the death.

Most of them would likely perish.

Seeing so many of her own forces, the Heavenly Emperor regained her initial demeanor. With a single move, she forced Zhenwu Emperor Venerable back, leapt out of the Chaos, her eyes icy cold.

"The reason I called you all here is to execute the remnant of the Su Family!"

Huh?

When the Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors saw Su Quan, whose Aura was weak and Realm was low, their expressions became quite colorful.

What?

Killing a Mahayana Realm cultivator requires using the heavenly emperor token now?

"Heavenly Emperor, you're not trying to amuse us, are you?"

"That's right, killing a Mahayana Realm cultivator? Is it really necessary to make such a big fuss?"

"This is good news though. Killing him with a casual flick of the hand allows us to easily claim a reward from the heavenly emperor token. Why not?"

..."Everyone, listen up!"

The Heavenly Emperor spoke, suppressing the clamorous voices: "Since the heavenly emperor token has been unleashed this time, there is no turning back. As long as the remnant of the Su Family is slain, my Heavenly Court will naturally bestow the corresponding rewards!"

With that, she looked down at Zhenwu Emperor Venerable from above, a victor's arrogance on her Face: "Zhenwu, now let's see how you can protect him?"

Zhenwu Emperor Venerable's Aura was heavy.

The current situation was extremely tricky.

Even if her strength was formidable, she couldn't protect Su Quan in front of so many Immortal Emperors.

"The prophecy is not false; today may become the beginning of a calamity!"

She sighed softly.

"Today, whoever wants to kill him, must first kill me!"

Yaochi Empress held her Emperor Spear, enduring the Aura of the numerous Immortal Emperors, and stood in front of Su Quan.

Her injuries were severe; she had first endured a palm strike from an Emperor Venerable, and then fought with the Great Emperor of the Wei Family. Her jade body and divine bones were on the verge of shattering, and drops of vital blood, imbued with divine radiance, continuously fell.

"Yaochi's girl, for the sake of a mere mortal cultivator, why bother?" Blazing Emperor Venerable was somewhat puzzled.

Another Immortal Emperor advised: "That's right, Yaochi girl, your cultivation of the Dao was not easy; you shouldn't die here!"

"You are dragging your heavily injured body, with less than one-tenth of your strength remaining. Continuing to resist will only be a futile sacrifice!"

...Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors all tried to persuade her.

Their target was only Su Quan; unless absolutely necessary, they did not want to fight an Immortal Emperor.

"You all need not say more. Whoever wants to test the sharpness of this Emperor's spear light, feel free to come forward!"

Yaochi Empress's voice was cold.

She brandished her Emperor Spear, and the terrifying spear Qi shattered a portion of space-time, its tip pointing directly at the Immortal Emperors.

"Since that's the case, then this Emperor will show no mercy!"

Blazing Emperor Venerable sighed.

She was the first to step forward, with Chaos True Flame rising from her body. In the Face of that terrifying high temperature, all things in the world were incinerated into nothingness.

To kill a newly ascended Immortal Emperor who was at the end of her rope, with the full strength of an Emperor Venerable, was indeed not a difficult task.

Just then, the clear laughter of the young man resounded below.

"So many Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors joining forces to kill me, I, Su Quan, really have a lot of Face!"

His gaze swept over every Immortal King and Immortal Emperor present, finally landing on Yaochi Empress, his eyes softening a bit: "Such a huge commotion, it seems today is the day I, Su Quan, am destined to die!"

"Since I am destined to die, there's no need to sacrifice other people's lives!"

"What do you mean by that?"

The Heavenly Emperor's gaze remained fixed on Su Quan.

She would not let down her guard until she personally saw his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering and his Divine Soul extinguished.

"I was already poisoned by a strange toxin and didn't have much time left to live. Now... there's no need to keep holding on!"

Su Quan smiled easily.

As his words fell, terrifying black cracks appeared on his incomparably handsome Face.

The cracks spread along his Face, covering his entire body within a few breaths.

Dense essence of vital blood seeped out through these black cracks into the world.

The young man's Aura rapidly weakened and faded.

"nine nethers soul-urging liquid?"

The Heavenly Emperor recognized the poison, and her tightly furrowed brow relaxed slightly.

The nine nethers soul-urging liquid was originally a strange item of extreme Yin and poison in the Immortal Realm. It could not only destroy the physical body but also erode the Divine Soul. When the poison took effect, it would be the time of the Divine Soul's demise.

From afar, Su Quan looked like a porcelain doll that had suffered severe external damage, his body covered in dense black cracks.

Bang!

Su Quan's body completely exploded.

Without the support of Spiritual Qi, his physical fragments were instantly corroded into nothingness by the nine nethers soul-urging liquid.

"Su Quan!"

Yaochi Empress's beautiful eyes trembled violently.

"Brother!"

Su Qianqian's pretty Face was bewildered. She instinctively reached out to grab, but her hand met empty air.

As for the other women, under the terrifying Aura of the numerous Emperor Venerables, they had long been suppressed speechless, only able to watch everything unfold with red eyes.

After his physical body dissipated, only Su Quan's golden, shimmering Divine Soul remained in place.

However, terrifying cracks also appeared on his Divine Soul.

The most terrifying aspect of the nine nethers soul-urging liquid was its erosion of the Divine Soul!

Unless one avoided being hit, once struck, even Immortal Lords and Immortal Kings would find it difficult to escape the demise of their souls.

"Brother, you..."

Su Qianqian hurriedly took a step forward, wanting to grab Su Quan's hand, but it passed directly through his Divine Soul.

After everything that had just happened, her heart was in turmoil, and the deep-seated hatred she had for her brother was now replaced only by panic.

"Xiao Qian, live well. Brother doesn't blame you!"

Su Quan's Divine Soul was smiling, his eyes incredibly gentle, filled with deep doting. He raised his hand and gently hovered it over the girl's head: "Remember, living with humiliation and pain is braver than generously facing death!"

"The girl has grown up. The future of my Su Family is entrusted to you!"

He kept smiling, but his smile slowly faded.

Until... it completely disappeared.

A gentle breeze blew, and there was no trace of Su Quan left in the world.

"Brother..."

Tears blurred her eyes.

Su Qianqian didn't know why, she only felt as if an invisible hand was tightly clutching her heart, and it truly hurt!

Su Quan's final appearance and smile brought her memories back to the happiest childhood moments of her life.

At that time, everything was so beautiful.

"Since this matter is concluded, this Emperor will return to the Ancient Realm and continue her seclusion!"

Blazing Emperor Venerable turned and bid farewell.

Su Quan's self-inflicted death was the best outcome.

Not only did it avoid a battle, but they could also receive the heavenly emperor token's reward for free. All the Immortals present were in good spirits.

"Heavenly Emperor, we too shall take our leave!"

"Farewell, farewell!"

One by one, the Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors departed.

The Heavenly Emperor did not stop them.

Her goal from beginning to end was the remnant of the Su Family, or more precisely, Su Quan.

Now that she had seen Su Quan's Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, no longer having the chance for Reincarnation, she had resolved a knot in her heart. However... she always felt that something was amiss.

But what exactly it was, she couldn't quite say.

"Heavenly Emperor, you have had your wish. Now you can return to your Heavenly Court!"

Zhenwu Emperor Venerable's tone was cold and hard.

"Hmph!"

The Heavenly Emperor's thoughts were disturbed. Her gaze lingered on Su Qianqian for a moment longer, then the giant human Face slowly dissipated, and the Futuo Ancient Realm returned to peace.

In the eyes of outsiders, Su Qianqian's talent was that of an extremely Prodigy existence.

But in the Heavenly Emperor's eyes, it was not worth paying any attention to.

She had dominated the Immortal Realm for hundreds of millions of years, having seen too many Heavenly Prodigies and outstanding individuals. Su Qianqian's talent, among them, could only be ranked as upper-middle.

With good luck, she might be able to prove the Dao and become an Immortal Emperor, but that was all!

After the Heavenly Emperor left, Wei Family Immortal Emperor also departed, fearing that Zhenwu Emperor Venerable would seek trouble with her.

Yaochi Empress put away her Emperor Spear.

Looking at the spot where Su Quan disappeared, she was somewhat lost in thought, crystal tears forming in her beautiful eyes, only to be cleared away by Immortal Qi.

She was now a noble Immortal Emperor, no longer the delicate, crying little girl she once was.

"Master, let's return to Yaochi. Your Immortal body is severely injured and requires rest!"

An Immortal fairy appeared, gently advising.

"Mhm!"

Yaochi Empress turned, her back to Su Qianqian, her tone chillingly cold: "Su Qianqian, if you weren't Su Quan's sister, this Emperor would have suppressed and killed you a thousand times over!"

"I hope you conduct yourself well in the future!"

"Immortal Emperor, do you know something?"

Su Qianqian awoke from her daze and hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to press for answers.

Yaochi Empress, however, was unwilling to bother with her, stepping out of the Futuo Ancient Realm in one stride. Before leaving, she remembered the heart-peeping mirror she had left behind and reached out to grab it.

But just then, a wondrous fluctuation emanated from the sky. It turned out to be the golden specks of light that Su Quan's shattered Divine Soul had left behind in the world. They flickered, seemingly fading and dispersing, yet they caused the heart-peeping mirror to conjure magnificent pictorial scrolls...
