Chapter 48 The Empress's casual palm strike sends her to the ancient land of Yaochi.
Book lovers are all in the discussion area, chatting about the charm of fantasy novels.
"boom--"
The moment the Empress finished speaking, the Devouring Demon Jar suspended in the sky suddenly stopped.
Immediately, the can trembled almost imperceptibly.
There was no earth-shattering burst of divine light, nor a sweeping surge of laws that engulfed the entire realm.
There is only one kind of silent "freezing".
Centered on the Dragon Transformation Pool, the space, time, spiritual energy, and Dao principles within a radius of a hundred miles...
Everything, both tangible and intangible, seemed to be gently grasped by an invisible hand and then wiped away.
The sixteen supreme experts remained in the posture of unleashing their unparalleled killing techniques, their faces contorted in rage or sneer, their expressions still unchanged.
Their bodies, along with the powerful weapons they wielded and the killing techniques they unleashed, were like pencil marks erased by an eraser.
From bottom to top, it turned into dust inch by inch, leaving not even a trace of blood mist or a wisp of remnant soul.
This is an absolute and complete erasure.
It was as if they had never existed in this world.
"No, that's impossible!"
The Dark King's pupils shrank to pinpoints.
The Nine Li Map in his hand was still bursting with primordial light, and the phantom images of mountains, rivers, the sun, moon, and stars on the scroll were frantically flowing, trying to resist the invisible force of erasure.
But the next second.
"Click—"
The Primordial Light of the Supreme Emperor Weapon, the Nine Li Diagram, actually retracted on its own.
The overwhelming divine power pierced straight through the body of the Dark Night King.
"puff!"
The Dark King coughed up a mouthful of blood, mixed with fragments of internal organs.
A single ray of dark light from the Devouring Demon Jar shattered his five secret realms.
The half-saint strength of the Great Perfection Divine Body is as fragile as paper at this moment.
"Who...who are you?"
The Dark King stared intently at the Empress's figure.
He recalled the blurry yet colorless outline beneath the Devouring Demon Jar.
Although this guess is absurd, it is the only answer at present.
She is the legendary Ruthless Great Emperor, the one who created the Devouring Demon Jar.
Otherwise, who could make the Supreme Imperial Weapon revive on its own with just a word?
The empress did not answer.
She didn't even glance at him.
She simply raised her hand and casually waved it towards the void.
"Buzz—"
The mouth of the Devouring Demon Jar was turned upside down, aimed at the Dark Night King.
There was no dark light spewing out, no swallowing vortex.
In the instant the jar was aligned, the Dark King, from his physical body to his soul, from his origin to his imprint, was utterly and completely reduced to nothingness.
Even the "traces" of his existence have been eradicated from the world, leaving no trace.
Inside and outside the Dragon Transformation Pool, there was utter silence.
The Holy Master of the Jiang family and the other powerful figures were dumbfounded. Only now did he realize how foolish it was for the four extreme powers to go and besiege Ye Chen.
Fortunately, the Divine King Ancestor saw through everything and saved the Jiang family from utter ruin.
There were at least seventeen powerful experts, including one half-step saint who wielded an ultimate imperial weapon.
That's it? Gone just like that?
Not even the slightest sound?
"Gulp."
Someone swallowed hard, the sound unusually clear in the deathly silence.
Ye Chen remained calm.
He clapped his hands, and the Devouring Demon Jar above his head transformed into a beam of dark light that disappeared into his brow. The Chaos Tower also slowly withdrew its divine radiance.
He didn't take back the Chaos Tower directly, but left it by Jiang Taixu's side to continue protecting him during his Nirvana.
"Alright, all the things that were in the way have been cleared away."
"Little sister, shall we go to the ancient land of Yaochi?"
Ye Chen planned to take the Empress to the Yaochi Ancient Land.
This not only adds a layer of protection, but also lets the Empress know that he has inexplicably gained a Western Emperor wife.
That's all the fault of his "past life," it has nothing to do with this life!
"The matter here is settled; do not delay any longer."
The Empress nodded slightly, and the chaotic energy around her seemed to soften a bit.
Her gaze swept over the Jiang family members below, who were silent as cicadas in fear, and finally landed on Ye Chen's face.
"Yes, yes, my sister is right."
Ye Chen then seemed to remember something and looked at Ye Fan and Xu Qiong, who were still in a daze.
"Ye Fan, Xu Qiong."
He beckoned.
"Big brother?"
Ye Fan was immediately jolted and quickly pulled Xu Qiong forward.
"My sister and I are going to the ancient land of Yaochi to verify some things ourselves."
"King Jiang should wake up in a few more hours. I will ask him to look after you for a while, and the Chaos Tower will be left to you for the time being."
Ye Chen immediately entrusted it to him.
"Lord Jiang, I would like to trouble the Jiang family to take care of my younger brother and sister-in-law for a few days."
"Once King Jiang awakens, please also tell him that I am entrusting Ye Fan to him and asking him to give me some guidance."
Ye Chen looked towards the Dragon Transformation Pool, his voice rising slightly.
"Young friend Ye, rest assured, the Jiang family will treat you with the utmost respect and will not dare to be negligent in the slightest!"
The Holy Lord of the Jiang family immediately bowed in respect.
In the eyes of the Holy Lord of the Jiang family, Ye Chen had become a ruthless character who could not be easily offended, and his status was comparable to that of the Emperor's son of the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone.
Ye Fan hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.
"Hey kid, I'll send you the stuff via private message in the chat group."
Ye Chen glanced at him and immediately understood what he was thinking, then secretly transmitted his voice.
"Brother, please go with peace of mind. Xu Qiong and I will cultivate diligently and will never cause trouble."
Ye Fan's eyes lit up, but he swallowed back the words he was about to say and nodded vigorously.
"Big brother, Empress sister, please be careful."
Xu Qiong also whispered her advice.
"You damn dog, stop pretending to be dead, let's go."
Ye Chen kicked the Black Emperor, who was trying to make himself as inconspicuous as possible, at his feet.
"Woof! Old master, I know the ancient land of Yaochi very well. Back in the day, the Great Emperor Wushi and the Queen Mother of the West often took me for a walk there..."
Black King immediately perked up and scurried over to Ye Chen's side.
The Empress glanced at it indifferently.
Black King's fur stood on end, and he immediately shut his mouth, cowering to Ye Chen's other side.
"Let's go."
The Empress said no more, and lightly flicked her sleeves.
A teleportation portal opened silently in the void, behind which one could vaguely see ethereal immortal mountains and babbling brooks, and there was also a vast and ancient imperial aura flowing through it.
That was the aura of the ancient land of Yaochi.
Ye Chen grasped the Empress's hand and stepped into the teleportation portal, with the Black Emperor following closely behind.
As the gate slowly closed, swallowing the figures of the two people and the dog, only the faint lingering aura of imperial might remained above the Dragon Transformation Pool.
One night passed.
As dawn breaks, the morning light shines upon the divine city.
Inside the Dragon Transformation Pool, Jiang Taixu's withered flesh and blood began to rise at a visible speed.
His snow-white hair turned jet black in an instant, and his wrinkled skin regained its smoothness and firmness.
A powerful and vast life force surged into the sky. Although it had not fully recovered to its peak, it had already escaped death and been reborn.
Thanks to the Empress's intervention, Fairy Caiyun was spared from the clutches of the Dark Night King and is now anxiously awaiting Jiang Taixu's awakening.
"Ancestor!"
"God King Ancestor, you've finally awakened!"
Overjoyed, the Holy Lord of the Jiang family and others wept and knelt on the ground.
Jiang Taixu slowly sat up and glanced at the Chaos Tower beside him, which had already suppressed all its strange phenomena.
He could feel the lingering, soul-chilling divine power in the air again, and he understood immediately.
"Young friend Ye Chen, are you there?"
His voice was a little hoarse, as he was not yet used to this body brimming with life energy.
The Holy Lord of the Jiang family hurriedly gave a detailed report on everything that had happened the previous night.
This includes the Dark Night King leading sixteen powerful figures in an attack, Ye Chen appearing at a crucial moment, the Devouring Demon Jar autonomously reviving and annihilating the enemies, and Ye Chen's entrustment before leaving.
"The Imperial Weapon has revived on its own, annihilating a half-step Saint like crushing ants. That woman who came with young friend Ye Chen is probably that person..."
Jiang Taixu listened quietly to the end.
After a long while, he let out a soft sigh.
He didn't continue speaking, but his eyes showed extraordinary respect, because in the chat group, there was only one woman with such power, and that was the lord of the Ancient Forbidden Land—the Empress.
His identity is shrouded in mystery and cannot be revealed!
