Chapter 3016: Chapter 2990: The Empress’s Wrath! (Seven Updates)
Most people believed Ye Chen was about to fall...
But!
The man before them remained standing, even pressing forward step by step, into Kong Chi amidst the impact of countless swords!
With each step forward, a tendril was inevitably severed beneath Ye Chen’s sword!
That blood-stained figure, trudging arduously amidst the torrent of sword light, was like a blazing iron brand, deeply etching into their souls!
Among the martial artists of the Six Nations, some surrendered to preserve their lives, others for a shred of remaining conscience, and some out of fear by following others!
But at this moment!
They looked at Ye Chen’s retreating figure, and their eyes gradually brightened...
In that figure, what they saw was...
Human dignity!
A surge of fervor boiled within their bodies, flooding into their brains in an instant!
"Aaaaaaaaah!!!"
A hundred thousand martial artists, unbelievably and simultaneously, roared in thunderous unison, spurred by Ye Chen’s figure!
Human dignity was worth their life-giving honor!
Ye Chen ignited their fighting spirit through his actions!
And at that moment, Kong Chi, who had been looking indifferent, could no longer smile...
Why hasn’t Ye Chen fallen?
His violet eyes trembled frantically; Ye Chen was now riddled with blood holes, countless long swords densely piercing his body...
Yet Ye Chen continued to advance!
Suddenly, Kong Chi discovered his tendrils had completely vanished!
And Ye Chen stood before him!
"Impossible!"
Kong Chi shouted in panic!
"How could a lowly race like humans possibly be a match for the Heavenly Demon Clan! Impossible, this is an illusion!"
With his remaining hand, he gripped a long sword and fiercely slashed toward Ye Chen.
"Die! Die for me! Wretched humans! Die for me!"
Ye Chen said calmly, "The wretched ones are not humans."
"Kong Chi, the wretched one is you!"
In the next moment, the sword light flashed!
A fierce purple head fell, blood spraying!
The Heavenly Demon Kong Chi, dead!!!
Accompanying Kong Chi’s death, Ye Chen revealed a relieved smile.
Then, he fell.
Heavily collapsed.
He was too exhausted.
This time, even with the help of the Indestructible Dragon Emperor’s strength, he had reached his limits.
Just as Ye Chen was about to fall, a red and blue light flashed!
Little Gold caught Ye Chen, flying toward a certain direction.
The oppressive world erupted at this moment!
Countless martial artists shouted!
Simply because someone reclaimed their honor!
Temporarily alleviating the crisis of the Seven Divine Countries!
That man was Ye Chen!
Scenes of today’s events were destined to be etched forever in everyone’s memories!
...
A few hours later.
Deep within the Divine Extreme Sect, inside a practically intact secret room.
Ye Chen awoke, holding a purple crystal stone, the Purple Cloud Stone.
This was what he obtained after slaying Kong Chi.
Kong Chi’s existence was somewhat unique.
At this moment, Ye Chen frowned deeply because this time he witnessed the appearance of that mysterious vortex!
Through personal experience, he could confirm that the aura emanating from the vortex was those of martial auras from the Upper Realm and the Outer Realm!
After a moment, Ye Chen shook his head, swallowing the Purple Cloud Stone.
Thinking further would be futile now!
The key was to elevate his strength, elevate and elevate again!
As long as his power was sufficiently strong, even if a formidable fighter descended from the Upper Realm, what would it matter, like Xuanji?
Suppressing them with strength was the answer!
He even foresaw that Xuanji’s death would eventually draw a response from the high-ranked Empress of the Upper Realm.
When that time comes, it would likely resemble a world-destructive calamity.
...
In the Upper Realm, a grand and imposing palace stood.
Inside the great hall, all was silent.
A woman of exquisite beauty, donned in golden robes, sat regally on a chair adorned with dragon and phoenix motifs.
Ancient nomological powers flickered around her; with each blink, star rivers seemed to dim in her eyes, producing an awe-inspiring majesty.
This woman was none other than the dominator of the Upper Realm, the Empress reigning over the universe, Xuan Jiyue!
Crack!
Suddenly, a Life Soul Jade Plate emerged from the Void, instantly shattering and dropping to the ground.
The jade plate bore two distinct characters:
Xuanji!
"Xuanji is dead?"
Xuan Jiyue’s beautiful eyes widened in shock.
Previously, she had dispatched Xuanji to the Divine Kingdom to investigate the Samsara Star Flame, Xia Ruoxue, the blood dragon, and other karmic connections.
Given Xuanji’s abilities, coupled with her Emperor Seal, she should have faced no unusual occurrences.
But now, Xuanji had perished.
"Who killed her?"
Xuan Jiyue was furious; in the Upper Realm, Xuanji was a minor figure but nevertheless one of her attendants, yet someone dared to annihilate Xuanji, thereby defying Heavenly Might and challenging her authority as Empress.
Whoosh!
Xuan Jiyue flicked her delicate finger, releasing a silver beam intertwined with strands of Law Spiritual Energy, piercing the layers of Void to probe the karma.
Bang!
Suddenly, a powerful rebounding force charged fiercely.
The beam she released was instantly shattered.
Even she herself suffered a slight repercussion, causing her chest’s blood essence and energy to churn.
"Something has happened in the Divine Kingdom!"
Xuan Jiyue’s beautiful eyes changed; she immediately realized something had occurred in the Divine Kingdom.
Surely, a giant headmaster was cloaked with mighty saber slash, shielding her from viewing the karmic fate and destiny.
"Xuanqing."
Xuan Jiyue composed herself, relaying her cold voice.
"Your Majesty, Xuanqing is here."
The Void tore apart, and a black-clothed woman appeared, bearing a heavy sword on her back.
Her appearance bore resemblances to Xuanji, evidently another guard beside Xuan Jiyue.
"You go to the Divine Kingdom, investigate the cause of Xuanji’s death and the Karma of the sinner refining the Samsara Star Flame and that blood dragon."
Xuan Jiyue spoke slowly, carrying matchless authority.
Now, she couldn’t transmit her will into the Divine Kingdom, and thus must send more people to investigate.
"I obey, Your Majesty."
Xuanqing respectfully responded, turning and leaving.
"Be cautious, do not act recklessly, your purpose is solely to investigate the karma."
Xuan Jiyue cautioned, unwilling for Xuanqing to suffer the same fate as Xuanji.
"Yes."
Xuanqing responded, her body dissipating into the Void.
...
At the entrance to the Divine Kingdom, before Xuanqing arrived, two figures had already descended.
These two figures carried an aura both elusive in heavenly secrets yet filled with vast Law Aura, while the other held ancient sage-like bones, surrounded by runes.
If Ye Chen were here, he would surely recognize them.
These two were Ren Feifan’s True Body and the mysterious grandfather, who had long perished in Huaxia!
They were the arrangers of this ancient chess game!
They exchanged a glance, saying nothing, standing with hands behind their backs as if awaiting something.
Soon, the Void tore, and a black-clothed sword woman emerged — it was Xuanqing.
