336: Chapter 336 Who is Attaining Dao? The Empress Arrives

"Damn it! Chu Yuehua's strength has actually grown to this point! As expected of the peerless Prodigy that appears once in ten thousand years in the Chu Clan!"

A string of curses came from above, and then a giant hand grabbed downward.

"Arghhh!"

One by one, women were seized by the terrifying power, their bodies flying upward as they let out miserable screams.

They cried out in terror, struggling incessantly, but with the Restriction binding them, it was all in vain.

"No, no, no... Senior, I want to live, I don't want to die! Senior, I don't want to die!"

"Senior! Have mercy! Senior, have mercy! I'm willing to do anything for you, please let me go!"

Thousands of female cultivators who had stepped into the Saint Realm wailed.

Some had attained their power through hard cultivation, while others were forced into the Saint Realm by the Hehuan Sect using secret methods and potent medicines.

At this moment, facing death, they pleaded for their lives.

"Junior Brother! Retreat!"

Ye Hongfu reacted immediately, grabbing Qin Wushang's hand to flee.

This was too terrifying!

That powerhouse had been heavily injured; he was returning to devour these Cauldrons to strengthen himself and heal his wounds.

"Arghhh!"

The delicate bodies of the women twisted and quickly shriveled up.

Meanwhile, the aura of the Black-Robed Man who had appeared by crossing the Void Realm began to surge.

He was recovering rapidly!

"We can't get away!"

"His power has already sealed off the entire Black Cliff Mountain; it's impossible for us to escape."

Qin Wushang whispered softly, looking up at the figure in the sky.

"ant!"

"You certainly have self-awareness!"

The Black-Robed Man spoke, his words vibrating through the entire world.

He lowered his head, his eyes gleaming with a blood-red killing light, immediately locking onto the two of them.

"Have you thought of your last words?"

He barked coldly.

Since he had encountered Qin Wushang's true body, he had to kill or enslave him... only then could he better influence Chu Yuehua!

"I'm actually too lazy to think of any."

"But what about you? Have you thought of your last words?"

Qin Wushang said calmly.

"Hmm? Are you implying you can kill this seat?"

"What a joke!"

The Black-Robed Man laughed disdainfully.

Kill him?

That was absolutely impossible!

He had already returned here, and since Chu Yuehua was currently Dao-merging, it was impossible for her to leave the Imperial Capital and appear here.

Whether it was controlling Qin Wushang or killing him, he had absolute certainty.

"I am naturally no match for you."

Qin Wushang's words were indifferent.

Clang!

Suddenly, a longsword chimed, and a beam of sword light pierced through hundreds of millions of miles of the Void Realm.

The mountain and river emperor sword!

The moment it appeared, the entire landscape began to boil.

Black Cliff Mountain shook violently!

"Impossible!"

"How is this possible! Why would it appear here?"

The Black-Robed Man was greatly alarmed.

The appearance of the mountain and river emperor sword here meant that Chu Yuehua had fought her way out of the Great Chu Imperial Capital.

"Wait... Hahahaha! You've come! That means you failed your Dao-merging!"

"Chu Yuehua! You lost after all!"

"For the sake of a man, you actually chose to give up this great opportunity for Dao-merging!"

"Hahaha! Our plan succeeded after all!"

The Black-Robed Man realized and laughed out loud.

Chu Yuehua's arrival meant her Dao-merging had failed, which meant their plan was a success.

"Grand-Uncle, to be honest, you are truly a disgrace to the Chu Clan."

A cold voice rang out as a bright moon hung in the sky, shining brilliantly.

A peerlessly beautiful figure stepped out from the moon and descended, her aura causing the world to stagnate.

Chu Yuehua!

"Since the pretense has been dropped, there's nothing left to say!"

"You are a woman; you have no right to be the Empress of Great Chu. You should abdicate!"

"A sovereign moved by emotion is unworthy of the throne!"

The Black-Robed Man revealed his true face, his expression twisted and hideous.

His clouded eyes were filled with overwhelming killing intent as he stared fixedly at the mountain and river emperor sword.

That was the imperial weapon of Great Chu; if it became his, he would surely become even more powerful.

"I am unworthy... then who does Grand-Uncle think is worthy in our Chu Clan?"

"In all of Great Chu, who else has the qualification to lead?"

Chu Yuehua asked with extreme indifference.

They had all conspired to rebel against her, simply because she was a woman.

Of course, there were also those who wanted the position for themselves.

"Hmph!"

"That is naturally not for you to worry about. You only need to issue the decree of abdication."

The Black-Robed Man snorted and spoke bluntly.

"Could it be that Grand-Uncle, in your half-crippled state, also wishes to wield the mountain and river emperor sword and become the Emperor of Great Chu?"

Chu Yuehua sneered.

She stepped through the air, her figure exquisite, her aura suppressing heaven and earth.

"This old man naturally won't take that position!"

"I oppose you simply because you are unworthy; I cannot watch you ruin the legacy of my Chu Clan."

The Black-Robed Man snorted, his aura still skyrocketing.

But those women could no longer be controlled by him to be refined as Cauldrons.

Chu Yuehua's Dao had influenced the Restriction, firmly suppressing everything beneath these mountains and rivers.

Chu Yuehua would not let him continue refining the Cauldrons.

"What a fine 'unworthy of the position'."

"It seems Grand-Uncle thinks highly of that waste, Chu Tianhai."

"It's no wonder; he was once the Crown Prince, and you all supported him then. Supporting him again now is understandable."

"However... given his current situation, let alone becoming the Emperor of Great Chu, I'm afraid he would need my permission even to leave Prince Tianhais Residence."

"Colluding with the Nanman, betraying Great Chu, privately rearing living beings, forming factions for private gain, and training hundreds of thousands of private soldiers... these crimes..."

"Whether by clan rules or national Laws... Chu Tianhai deserves to die."

As soon as Chu Yuehua spoke, the Black-Robed Man's body jolted.

He looked on in disbelief, unable to believe what he was hearing.

"You... you actually knew!"

"Impossible!"

He cried out.

The other things were one thing, but the matter of the private soldiers... Chu Yuehua actually knew about that too!

Did this not mean that their every move had actually been under Chu Yuehua's control all along?

She had seen everything!

"No... no, this isn't right..."

"You've come here! You've left the Imperial Capital! Why is the Dao-merging still continuing?"

"Who is the person in the Imperial Capital?"

The Black-Robed Man sensed carefully and questioned her.

The great battle in the Imperial Capital was drawing to a close, but the Dao-merging had not ended.

Everything was still ongoing!

"Chu Yuelian? You let Princess Chu Yuelian perform the Dao-merging for Great Chu?"

The Black-Robed Man guessed.

Other than that woman, he really couldn't think of anyone else Chu Yuehua would trust enough to let them perform the Dao-merging.

"No... that woman hasn't even stepped into the Quasi-Emperor realm; she couldn't possibly perform the Dao-merging for Great Chu!"

"Who exactly is it?"

The Black-Robed Man said in a panic.

"Grand-Uncle! You've lost your composure; your mind is flustered, and you've already shown your cowardice!"

Chu Yuehua gave a sharp cry, her voice piercing the clouds and causing ripples to spread through the surrounding Void Realm.

Every word she spoke carried the majesty of an Emperor.

"As one who seeks to seize the world and ascend to the Nine-Five throne, you cannot even handle this level of pressure. Becoming a mess of nerves at the first sign of trouble—with such Heart-Nature and such bearing, how can you speak of contending with this Empress?"

"How dare you speak of rebelling against me? A mere mayfly trying to shake a tree, yet you dare to speak of overturning imperial power? It is utterly ridiculous!"

As her voice fell, a cold, sharp smile played on the corners of Chu Yuehua's lips, and a chilling light flashed in her eyes.

She raised her fair hand and firmly grasped the mountain and river emperor sword suspended by her side.

In an instant, the world changed color, and the heavens and earth were turned upside down!

This supreme imperial weapon, which carried the Luck of the eternal mountains and rivers and condensed the Nine Heavens imperial Dao Origin, erupted with a terrifying, world-destroying power the moment it was truly activated.

Upon the sword's blade, phantoms of Great Chu's mountains, rivers, stars, and moon appeared layer upon layer.

Dragon Pulse Qi coiled around the blade, and a vast Imperial Might swept through the eight desolations and six directions like a tsunami, pressing down until the firmament lowered and the earth trembled!

The invisible imperial pressure swept across all directions, the Void Realm shattering inch by inch into Chaos mists. Thousands of miles of clouds were instantly crushed, gales reversed, thunder was silenced, and even the Laws of heaven and earth trembled and bowed before this ultimate power.

The Black-Robed Man's aura was instantly crushed by this matchless Imperial Might, his blood surged, and his Divine Soul trembled.

He found it difficult even to remain standing!

In all of heaven and earth, there was only Chu Yuehua, standing tall with her sword like an eternal Imperial Sovereign, holding the power of life and death over the universe. With one word she could decide the fate of the heavens; with one sword she could cleave through the ages!

"No... you've actually achieved a perfect Awakening of your Imperial Blood and completely mastered the imperial weapon!"
