Chapter 303 The Final Battle (Part 2)

The Holy Lotus Sect Master stood with hands behind their back and said:

"The chaotic times have arrived; it is the time for Prodigies to rise in succession!"

"Previously, Blade Demon Yan Chu and the traitor Xue Bai were known as the two great Prodigy heroes. Although Xue Bai is favored by Luck and achieved great momentum earlier, Blade Demon Yan Chu cannot be underestimated either."

"Northern Mang is a den of dragons and tigers. If he can return safely from Northern Mang, his cultivation will surely advance further. Our Holy Lotus Sect has always prioritized recruiting such Prodigies; it is naturally best if we can avoid making him an enemy!"

"Yes!"

Yu Huan bowed and acknowledged the order.

He just felt that it was a bit of an overreaction.

With the current momentum of the Holy Lotus Sect as the state religion of Southern Wei, and the Holy Lotus Sect Master's exalted status as the Imperial Preceptor of Southern Wei, why bother regarding a mere Yan Chu with such concern?

But since the Holy Lotus Sect Master had spoken so, he felt it did not matter.

The Holy Lotus Sect Master looked at the White Lotus Holy Master and said:

"Li Ge, the matter of contacting Blade Demon Yan Chu is entrusted to you. You must recruit this person into our Holy Lotus Sect!"

"Your subordinate obeys!"

A hint of joy appeared in the White Lotus Holy Master's beautiful eyes.

As the man who had taken her virginity, Yan Chu had battled her on the peak of the Great Snow Mountain for ten days and ten nights; that unforgettable feeling was truly difficult to erase from her mind.

Although she had not developed any feelings for Yan Chu because of this.

She also did not wish to become enemies with Yan Chu and escalate the situation to an irreconcilable point.

If she could recruit him into the Holy Lotus Sect and make him her ally, that would naturally be best.

"Xue Bai is about to make a move!"

Just as these thoughts were turning in the White Lotus Holy Master's mind, the Holy Lotus Sect Master's voice rang out, causing the two subordinates to tremble inwardly and hurriedly look into the distance.

Separated by thousands of miles, they could not see the specific people or scenes at all.

But they could faintly feel an extremely terrifying Aura rising.

This Aura instantly overwhelmed the crowd of Celestial Beings fighting in the fray, and with an overbearing momentum that dominated everything, it attracted everyone's attention.

Both the White Lotus and Black Lotus Holy Masters could sense it.

The Black Lotus Holy Master, Yu Huan, could not help but change color drastically,

"How can Xue Bai be this powerful? How long has it been since he opened his Divine Treasury? How could he possess such a terrifying Aura?"

This Aura had clearly already reached the level of Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown.

The Holy Lotus Sect Master narrowed their eyes, their expression grave,

"This person possesses great Luck. As he advances with the rebel army into Central Province, his Luck grows increasingly profound. By utilizing this dense power of Luck, he has pushed his cultivation to such a Realm in a short period!"

"If he truly ascends to the throne, he will surely become a top-tier expert of this era!"

"Even if the Buddhist Sect wants to control him, it will not be so easy then."

...

Boom!

In the boundless night, a figure shining with golden light stood tall in the sky, wild hair flying, the focus of ten thousand eyes.

He punched out, and the golden fist light sent the Imperial Guard Commander Song Qinian flying for dozens of miles, then exploded on the spot under the night sky; his terrifying strength shocked everyone present.

"Retreat quickly!!"

Someone roared in the dark night, and even Celestial Beings were hurriedly retreating.

Xue Bai's strength was too powerful, almost overwhelming. Song Qinian was a Celestial Being, yet he could not even take one punch from him.

In the distance, Prince Wei, Li Yan, who was fighting against the Head of the Arhat Hall of the Hanging Temple, saw this scene and could not help but feel a surge of anger and anxiety, a mouthful of blood almost gushing up.

"Could it be that Heaven truly wants to destroy my Great Jin Dynasty?!"

Distracted, he was immediately seized upon by the Arhat Hall Head, Fa Ning, whose golden palm prints forced him to retreat step by step.

A trace of a smile appeared on Xue Bai's cold face.

He could feel another surge of energy descending from the Void Realm, merging into his Divine Treasury like an empowerment, his cultivation advancing another small step forward.

"This King is the Son of Heaven!"

At this moment, his confidence multiplied, and he was confident to the extreme.

As long as he could destroy the Great Jin Dynasty and ascend the throne, he would surely grow into a peerless figure like the Founding Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, invincible in the world.

He would become the only Imperial Sovereign in the world!

In the future, he would destroy Southern Wei, slaughter his way into Northern Mang, unify the entire world, and then gather the power of the whole world to assist his own Ascension.

Boom! Boom!!

Just as endless ambition grew in Xue Bai's heart, two palm prints, both overbearing and ethereal, struck from afar. The textures on the palm prints were vividly visible, and the terrifying palm pressure caused the Great Jin Dynasty side to suddenly have their spirits boosted.

"Dual Palms Propping the Heavens," Hero He Wuzhu!

"Heavenly King Xue, I, He, have come to learn your brilliant techniques!"

He Wuzhu's expression was calm, and he held nothing back when he struck, carrying an unstoppable Aura.

Just looking at this momentum, how could he be merely the third on the Heavenly Rankings?

I am afraid he could even contend for the first place on the Heavenly Rankings!

But Xue Bai was no longer the same as he had been in the past.

Compared to that day outside Yongzhou City, he was more than ten times stronger.

"Hmph! He Wuzhu, if it were a month ago, you might have been worth this King taking seriously, but now, you are merely a grain of rice, daring to shine before this King?"

Xue Bai stepped forward, his foot landing in the Void Realm, seemingly creating a sunken footprint in the space itself.

A massive fist light blasted out, the golden fist light leaving a brilliant golden trail in the Void Realm, shattering the two palms struck by He Wuzhu, and surging towards his opponent with overwhelming force.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

He Wuzhu's expression was grave; while retreating, he struck out with his palms, unleashing over a dozen powerful palm prints in succession before finally exhausting the fist power.

By this time, he had already retreated nearly a hundred miles.

"Hahahaha!"

"He Wuzhu! It seems your Dual Palms Propping the Heavens can neither prop up the heavens nor withstand this King's fist power!"

Xue Bai was confident to the extreme at this moment, perhaps even a bit arrogant, laughing loudly in the night sky.

"Long live Heavenly King Xue!!!"

Suddenly, someone in the rebel army below shouted first, and the rest of the soldiers followed suit, shouting with fanatical tones:

"Long live Heavenly King Xue!! Long live Heavenly King Xue!!!"

"Long live!! Long live!! Long, long live!!!"

"Rebels!! Traitors!!"

Prince Wei, Li Yan, and Prince Rui, Li Meng, and other members of the imperial family had ashen faces, fighting frantically against their respective opponents, but their hearts were filled with extreme sorrow.

The Founding Emperor founded the nation over seventeen hundred years ago; was it really going to be buried in their hands?

Inside the imperial palace, Empress Dowager Yuwen Feng was dressed in bright yellow court attire, and on her stunningly beautiful face, a hint of killing intent faintly appeared.

Her delicate hands, which had been folded in front of her abdomen, now hung at her sides.

Now that the situation had reached the most critical moment, it was time for her to make a move.

She had remained loyal to the Great Jin Dynasty imperial family until the last moment, not because of how loyal she was to the Li family, but because she was currently the public authority of the imperial court.

It was simply impossible for her to defect to the rebel army.

Even if she did defect, the Yuwen Family would inevitably face reckoning in the future.

Whoosh!

Just as Empress Dowager Yuwen Feng moved with light steps, intending to walk outside the city, a yellow shadow suddenly darted out from the palace below, moving with incredible speed.

If Empress Dowager Yuwen Feng had not been constantly watching the palace below, she would not have even noticed it.

The shadow moved without a sound or trace, like a ghost, instantly flashing out of the imperial palace and appearing outside the capital city.

A glimmer of hope ignited in Empress Dowager Yuwen Feng's heart.

"Your Majesty, are you finally going to make a move?"
