119: Reborn from the ashes? The true heartless empress!

Thinking this, This Imperial Son gently embraced Murong Yanran’s delicate body.

Then, leaning close to her ear, This Imperial Son spoke in a seemingly gentle, yet sinister tone: “Yanran, seeing you so heartbroken truly pains This Imperial Son.

To alleviate your suffering, This Imperial Son can only send you on your way!”

Before This Imperial Son finished speaking, Xuan Tianchen spun around.

The zhūtiān battle halberd, which suddenly appeared in his hand, immediately surged with endless ruthlessness, swiftly and forcefully piercing through Murong Yanran’s chest, chilling her to the core.

Splat… In an instant, fresh blood splattered, like blooming crimson flowers, tragically beautiful and chilling.

And Elder Yan’s overwhelming, suffocating aura and pressure, which had been accompanying Xuan Tianchen’s strike, instantly dissipated.

Thus, Murong Yanran, who had been restrained for so long, finally regained her freedom at this moment.

Her face was filled with despair and extreme grief, and her voice trembled as she questioned, “Xuan Tianchen, I have no grievances with you, why did you harm me to this extent?”

As the current Immortal Maiden of Jueqing Immortal Sect, the Heartless Empress of the previous life, bearing the inheritance of an Immortal Emperor.

Murong Yanran should have stood at the peak of the Dao, looking down upon all beings, so how could she have ended up in such a tragic state?

For a moment, the indignation and sorrow in her heart surged like a raging tide, causing blood to continuously seep from the corners of her mouth.

As for the little vitality she had left, it was now rapidly fading, like a flickering candle in the wind, about to be extinguished.

“This Imperial Son never needs a reason to kill!”

Xuan Tianchen merely smiled faintly, his smile filled with coldness and heartlessness.

Then, This Imperial Son pulled out the blood-stained zhūtiān battle halberd.

Immediately after, before Murong Yanran had any chance to recover.

Xuan Tianchen’s left hand shot out fiercely, carrying a sharp momentum.

The speed was as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, This Imperial Son tightly grasped Murong Yanran’s head.

“Yanran, rest in peace!”

Before This Imperial Son finished speaking, This Imperial Son unhesitatingly crushed Murong Yanran’s head.

Then, This Imperial Son tossed her remaining body into the air, and with a powerful punch, instantly blasted her remains into smithereens.

After doing all this, This Imperial Son did not forget to stick out his tongue and lick the lingering bloodstains on his hand.

His appearance was like a bloodthirsty demon, making one’s hair stand on end.

However, strangely, with Murong Yanran’s demise, there was no system prompt.

Upon seeing this, Xuan Tianchen not only showed no surprise but a cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“This is much more interesting! It’s not in vain for This Imperial Son to come in person.”

He stood proudly in the void with his hands behind his back, gazing expectantly at the spot where Murong Yanran had dissipated.

Sure enough… where her remains had vanished, a scorching golden flame was burning fiercely.

The flame was intensely hot, as if it would incinerate this entire world.

Accompanied by a rich vitality, it bloomed from within the flames.

Murong Yanran’s body, which had been blasted into dust, was rapidly re-condensing at a visible speed.

Whoosh… In an instant, a phoenix cry suddenly resounded through the heavens and earth.

The sound was clear and melodious, like a call from ancient times.

Immediately after, Murong Yanran, who should have perished, was perfectly fine and reappeared above Phoenix Cry Valley.

Unlike before, she was now surrounded by phoenix flames capable of incinerating all things.

The flames danced as if they possessed life.

As her beautiful eyes slowly opened, a phoenix phantom, covering the sky and sun, instantly manifested behind her.

The phoenix phantom was lifelike, exuding endless majesty.

Just that terrifying oppressive feeling alone made people’s hearts tremble, their souls shaken.

And her original Saint Monarch cultivation aura had already leaped into the Supreme Realm.

That powerful aura now spread out like a tide.

Seeing this, Xuan Tianchen let out a soft chuckle: “Reborn from the ashes? This indeed matches the treatment of a Child of Fortune!”

As he spoke, cold light surged in his eyes, and killing intent raged.

As if he wanted to devour everything in front of him.

“I am the Heartless Empress, after countless years of slumber, I finally return to the world, and you, who destroyed This Empress’s reincarnation in this life, even if you are the Xuan Clan Imperial Son, you must die!”

The one who awakened now was no longer the Murong Yanran from before, but the Heartless Empress from billions of years ago!

Her face was as cold as ice, and no trace of emotion could be detected in her eyes.

It was as if everything in the world was as insignificant as dust in her eyes, making people involuntarily filled with awe.

In the past, although she and Murong Yanran were one body, they were actually two different souls.

The body was dominated by Murong Yanran of this life.

To fully awaken, she, who was once the Heartless Empress, had to wait for Murong Yanran of this life to awaken all her inherited memories.

At that time… the divine soul belonging to the Heartless Empress could effortlessly and completely take over this body, achieving a true return!

There was also another way.

That was, when Murong Yanran of this life completely perished, the divine soul of the Heartless Empress could also awaken accordingly.

Now Xuan Tianchen had killed Murong Yanran of this life.

The true Heartless Empress, having lost her restraints, naturally awakened early.

In addition, when Xuan Tianchen killed Murong Yanran of this life, he allowed her blood to scatter in this Phoenix Cry Valley.

This unexpectedly awakened an ancient phoenix of the Immortal Emperor realm and even allowed it to merge with the newly awakened Heartless Empress.

Her combat power was now far beyond what it once was.

But for Xuan Tianchen, who had already anticipated this, whether it was Murong Yanran of this life or the Heartless Empress of the past.

The ultimate outcome would only be one: to die without a burial place.

“Heartless Empress? When This Imperial Son had you beneath him earlier, you were quite passionate!”

Xuan Tianchen looked at the Heartless Empress before him, letting out a cold, lewd laugh, his eyes full of playfulness and contempt.

In response, the Heartless Empress immediately said in a deep voice:

“Hmph, to dare defile the pure body of This Empress’s reincarnation in this life, only death awaits you. Tell the expert behind you to get out here!”

Before she finished speaking, the surging killing intent in her beautiful eyes was not concealed in the slightest, and her Supreme Realm aura was fully displayed.

The aura was powerful and majestic, causing the surrounding space to tremble.

In her opinion, suppressing and killing Xuan Tianchen, who only had Saint Monarch cultivation, with her Supreme Realm cultivation would not require too much effort.

As long as she killed the expert hidden in the dark, Xuan Tianchen’s life or death would be her decision.

Even if the Xuan Tianchen before her was the son of the immortal emperor and the foremost young genius in the Heavens.

Before her, the Heartless Empress, there was only one path: death.

However, what she didn’t know was that Xuan Tianchen was no ordinary son of the immortal emperor.

Underestimating Xuan Tianchen, she was destined to pay a bloody price.

“Heh, woman, who gave you the courage to boldly challenge the person behind This Imperial Son, was it Liang Jingru?” Xuan Tianchen’s tone was filled with mockery and disdain.

“If not for the expert secretly protecting you, killing you would be as easy as flipping a hand!”

“Such arrogance. With your strength, you are not qualified to fight the person behind This Imperial Son. This Imperial Son will personally chop off your head.”

Before This Imperial Son finished speaking, Xuan Tianchen’s body suddenly surged with saintly aura, radiating brilliant light like shining stars.

Then, holding the zhūtiān battle halberd, he flashed, instantly striking towards the Heartless Empress, his speed as fast as a ghost.

“You will pay the price for your arrogance!!”

At this point, the Heartless Empress no longer held back.

At worst, she would kill Xuan Tianchen first, and then fight the expert behind him.

In an instant, her Supreme Realm aura surged like a tide, causing heaven and earth to tremble, and the winds and clouds to change color.

“heartless sword Art, Slash!”

Holding the heartless sword, she unleashed a sword strike, and the sharp sword intent instantly tore through the sky, heading straight for Xuan Tianchen.
