232: Suppression from the Soft Heavenly Emperor

Then, bit by bit, it crawled out from the dust-laden soil.

"Boom...!"

Every time it moved, the ground shook incessantly.

It was as if the earth were about to collapse.

Several Seals of the Exotic Realm were forcibly shattered; such a massive commotion was felt even in the Exotic Realm.

Inside the Immortal Royal Clan palace.

A middle-aged man wearing a golden mystic robe was covered in brilliant golden light.

With every breath he took, the Qi of Dao overflowed.

"Double Pupils, open!"

The middle-aged man's eyes erupted with a beam of Divine Light, looking toward the shattered Seal.

Wherever the Divine Light passed, space turned into nothingness.

"Boom...!"

Finally, the Divine Light landed on the Seal, shattering several more layers of it.

"It is actually that little fellow, the Dark Emperor. After sleeping for so long, he has finally awakened."

The middle-aged man muttered after seeing clearly what was behind the Seal.

The dignified Dark Emperor had become a "little fellow" in his mouth.

"Come here, cooperate immediately, tear apart the Seal, and let the great army slaughter its way into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

"This King wants the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to be left without a single blade of grass or a single suit of armor."

Immediately, the middle-aged man flicked his sleeves, stood up, and ordered loudly.

Suddenly, twelve men in black appeared instantly within the palace.

Each of them possessed a massive aura, surpassing the cultivation level of a Quasi-Emperor.

"Yes, King An."

The twelve men in black knelt in unison, responding to the middle-aged man.

Then, they transformed into twelve streams of light and headed toward the outer perimeter of the forbidden zone.

They were all subordinates of King An.

King An was currently the Immortal King of the Immortal Royal Clan, whose real name was An Ran.

However, in the Exotic Realm, no one dared to call his real name directly.

Chanting his real name would cause his Dharma Body to descend, bringing the pressure of the Dao.

The Exotic Realm was a place many times larger than the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

However, they had never truly defeated the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

In the ancient era, there was the Seal of Emperor Qin Tian.

In the primordial era, there was Emperor Huang Tian who quelled the chaos.

In the primeval era, there was also the peerless Lian Shen and the righteous Wushi, who suppressed all the demons and monsters in the world.

In the primeval era, the Exotic Realm did not have it easy either; under the suppression of Lian Shen and Wushi, none of the Immortal Kings dared to show their faces.

Especially Lian Shen, who went in and out nine times, killing until no one in the Exotic Realm dared to call themselves a king.

Things were different now. An Ran had grown up.

Furthermore, the eras of Lian Shen, Wushi, Emperor Huang Tian, and Emperor Qin Tian had already passed.

It was time for the Exotic Realm to display its Divine Might.

That's right, the Exotic Realm thought that these people had all gone to the Immortal Realm.

Yet they did not know that Emperor Qin Tian had been there all along.

...

The Exotic Realm!

On a snowy mountain.

A woman with snow-white hair and delicate features felt the anomaly and opened her eyes slightly.

"Is the Seal destined to be broken after all?"

"The Immortal Royal Clan still refuses to change their ways."

"It seems it is time for me to take action and suppress them."

The woman was expressionless, her body emitting a cold chill as she muttered to herself.

This woman's appearance was almost identical to Snow Emperor.

Both had full heads of white hair yet possessed delicate faces.

They looked immaculate, holy, and flawless.

However, this woman's strength was countless times greater than that of Snow Emperor.

She was Shangguan Wanrou.

A female Heavenly Emperor who dared to go to the Exotic Realm alone to suppress the Immortal Royal Clan.

That's right, she was the older sister of Shangguan Xueqing.

A figure from the same era as Emperor Qin Tian.

Guanghan Empress was the current number one female Emperor of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

While Shangguan Wanrou was the previous number one female Emperor.

In terms of strength, she was only stronger, not weaker, than Guanghan Empress.

She was on par with Emperor Qin Tian.

Her title was: "Empress Rou Tian."

"Swish...!"

Empress Rou Tian waved her hand, and a Dharma Body descended directly in front of the twelve men in black.

Her true body arrived above the palace of the Immortal Royal Clan.

"An Ran, you have been growing furtively all these years; did you really think this Empress didn't know?"

"With this Empress here, you had better behave yourself!"

Empress Rou Tian stood with her head held high and said coldly.

As soon as she finished speaking, she extended her hands and pressed downward.

Suddenly, countless Daos intersected, weaving into a sheet of Holy Light that sealed the entire palace.

Inside the palace, An Ran's face turned ashen, his expression stiff.

"How... how is this Empress Rou Tian still here!"

"The air of superiority I just put on is gone in an instant."

This was the only thought in An Ran's mind.

A dignified Immortal King, he hadn't even come out to act cool for a few moments before being ruthlessly suppressed.

The golden light on his body had dissipated quite a bit.

"Empress Rou Tian, your Lifespan is about to be exhausted; even if you can suppress me for a moment, you cannot suppress me for a lifetime."

"This Emperor advises you to defect to my Immortal Royal Clan and save your life!"

An Ran took a deep breath and said loudly.

Although he was suppressed, he was still full of confidence.

Empress Rou Tian had lived for so long, and her strength was undoubtedly powerful.

However, her Lifespan was exhausted, and her strength was far from what it used to be.

Suppressing An Ran had also exhausted many great techniques.

If things continued this way, without any accidents, he, An Ran, would definitely break free from the shackles and launch a powerful counterattack.

"As long as this Empress is here for one more day, you will not be able to walk out."

Shangguan Wanrou's face turned pale for a moment, and she replied.

Indeed, she could suppress him, but she could not kill him.

Because the price to pay for killing an Immortal King who had already grown up was too great.

She could only keep him in check and buy a little more time for the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Early on, Shangguan Wanrou had wanted to kill An Ran.

However, the other party had managed to avoid it every time.

Perhaps this was just destiny, ordained by the heavens!

She could only suppress him, but could not completely eradicate him.

Empress Rou Tian was also very helpless.

She had come to the Exotic Realm, and she could no longer remember how many years it had been.

She only knew that this time, the crisis of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths had truly arrived.

"Heh!"

"There are some things you cannot stop."

"Don't waste your Lifespan in vain."

An Ran smiled contemptuously and said.

He was an Immortal King blessed with Luck.

Empress Rou Tian had hunted him many times, but he had been able to dodge easily, which allowed him to grow.

Now that things had come to this, he no longer feared Empress Rou Tian.

The other party could not possibly kill him, so what was there to fear?

"Noisy!"

"Swish...!"

Empress Rou Tian waved her hand again, deepening the Seal.

At the same time, her delicate cheeks fluctuated slightly.

With her Lifespan nearing its end, her appearance was easily aging.

After deepening the Seal, Empress Rou Tian returned to her snowy mountain.

As for those twelve men in black, they had already been swiftly dealt with by her Dharma Body.

Emperors without Luck were truly not in Empress Rou Tian's eyes.

She could kill them with a casual wave of her hand.

"Whoosh~!"

Returning to the snowy mountain, she hurriedly took out an Unparalleled Elixir to restore her own Qi and blood.

On her snowy mountain, there was also a withered old tree.

This tree was called the enlightenment tree.

The new leaves that grew were enlightenment tea.

It was originally one with the one in Guanghan Palace.

However, it had now been split into two.

Each person owned half.

"Swish...!"

Shangguan Wanrou waved her hand and grasped the last new leaf in her hand.

"Sigh...!"

"I wonder how Xueqing is doing now."

"That naughty fellow, perhaps, has already been suppressed and killed by someone else!"

Thinking of her younger sister, Shangguan Wanrou could not help but sigh.

Separated for who knows how many years, she also wanted to return to her homeland.

To go to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and enjoy some peace and tranquility.

However, the stronger one's strength, the greater one's responsibility.

Suppressing the Exotic Realm brooked no delay!

That peace and tranquility needed someone to guard it.

Empress Rou Tian and Emperor Qin Tian were the guardians of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

The last line of defense.

If not for Empress Rou Tian, the Exotic Realm would have long since broken the Seal and slaughtered its way into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
