In the twilight of the Star Domain.
Su Hongye chuckled, a hint of slyness flashing in her eyes: “Where is that old dog, Tianji? Today, this Empress destroyed his Dao lineage, yet he still hasn’t appeared. Is he dead? Or is he in a state of self-balance?”
Self-balance.
It is a state caused by the demonic Qi.
After an Emperor is contaminated by the demonic Qi, in addition to suffering from the torment of the Qi, they will also enter a state of madness.
They cannot autonomously control their own power and rationality. If not prepared for and controlled in advance, an Emperor in a state of madness can cause uncontrollable disasters.
Self-balance is different from slumber.
One must suppress oneself using various treasures and perform self-balance through various secret techniques and immortal material resources.
During this stage, an Emperor cannot perceive anything from the outside world.
Although the few surviving Emperors have already figured out the rules for such a balancing method and formed their own system.
However, they still need a lot of time to self-balance to continue to barely survive.
Great Emperor Xuanhuang pondered for a moment, frowning, and said: “I don’t know. Old Ghost Tianji has always acted unpredictably, with no beginning or end.”
Su Hongye’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she snorted coldly: “If you don’t want to say, then don’t say. Who are you trying to fool?”
The two Emperors remained silent, a deep apprehension flashing in their eyes.
Since two hundred thousand years ago.
After Empress Hongye consecutively slew three Emperors, the surviving Emperors became fearful and formed a secret circle among themselves.
In addition to uniting for self-preservation.
It was also because the threat of the demonic Qi curse was growing daily, making it impossible for them to ignore.
They occasionally contacted each other to discuss methods of suppression and crack.
Over the years, they had also been extremely cautious.
They tried their best to avoid direct conflict with this Empress.
Regarding Great Emperor Tianji?
They truly did not want to get involved in such troublesome matters.
Just as the two were about to cup their fists and bid farewell.
Su Hongye’s eyes flashed, revealing a sly smile.
“Sirs, this Empress has another transaction she wishes to discuss with you. It can completely resolve the demonic Qi. Are you interested?”
Upon hearing this, the two Emperors’ expressions suddenly changed.
Then their eyes met, as if they were exchanging messages through sound transmission.
A moment later, Great Emperor Xuanhuang spoke:
“Naturally, we are. There’s no need to say more. Empress, you don’t have to keep us in suspense. Why not speak directly?”
They were well aware that there was no choice in this matter.
Those who contend for the Dao to become Emperor live as long as Heaven and Earth.
No one can abandon eternal life and die. Emperor-level Cultivators cherish their lives even more.
At their level.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, even if blood flows like rivers and all living beings wail, they will fight for it!
“Very good, but there’s a condition: this Empress absolutely forbids this matter from being leaked.”
Su Hongye made her demand.
First, an oath with Heavenly Dao backlash, then a Divine Soul contract Restriction using a part of the Divine Ability, the Nine Heavens Heavenly Soul Art, created by Jiang Ye’s cheap father.
This was equivalent to setting a Restriction in the Divine Soul.
The two Emperors’ expressions changed slightly, their hearts filled with wariness, and they were clearly hesitant for a moment.
Their main concern was a trap or scheme.
This Empress.
Has always been insidious and cunning! Full of tricks!
They had deeply experienced this!
“If you don’t want to know, then forget it. Sirs, please leave!”
Su Hongye’s lips curled into a playful smile, as she feigned chasing them away.
At this moment, Great Emperor Xuanhuang’s eyes narrowed, as if he had made some kind of decision, and he said in a deep voice: “Empress Hongye, I hope you are not making a fool of us. This old man has also accumulated many methods over the years!”
Great Emperor Po Xu also did not leave, and said indifferently: “Resolving the demonic Qi is something we cannot refuse. I hope the Empress does not deceive us.”
With their agreement.
The three Emperors quickly performed a secret technique contract and then made an oath with Heavenly Dao backlash.
As soon as the oath was made, the very Heaven and Earth seemed to tremble.
Su Hongye’s face was gentle, and she activated her unparalleled Emperor power, once again strictly sealing off the surrounding space.
“Alright, good son, quickly let the two Emperors broaden their horizons!”
Jiang Ye smiled slightly, understanding perfectly, and then unleashed the full power of his Radiant God King Body.
Boom—
A brilliant white light suddenly erupted, quickly transforming into a soft, pale golden glow. A sacred aura, like a sweet dew from the heavens, rapidly permeated the air.
It felt like a warm breeze, caressing the faces of the two Emperors.
Utmost divine and utmost sacred!
The two Emperors’ expressions suddenly became incomparably astonished, clearly shaken by the miraculous sight before them.
“Empress, what kind of Physique is this!?”
“Such a sacred aura... Hiss~ If he reaches the Emperor Realm! He could heal us in an instant!”
“Ancient Sacred Body?”
“No! It’s not! The Ancient Sacred Body absolutely does not possess such a sacred and flawless aura. This is simply the bane of the demonic Qi!”
“If the Qi Ghost Clan of the Outer Domain Evil Demons were to see this kind of Physique, they would probably go completely mad! They would kill him at all costs!”
“We are saved!”
The two Emperors’ eyes were filled with ecstasy, and they began to chatter incessantly, unconsciously.
Su Hongye’s face showed a triumphant smile, with a hint of arrogance in her gaze.
Look how excited these two old fellows are, like bumpkins. My son is just that excellent!
“Alright, you’ve seen enough. It’s time for this Empress to discuss the terms of the transaction.”
Great Emperor Po Xu and Great Emperor Xuanhuang’s expressions were solemn.
But they said nothing more, directly expressing their agreement, with a hint of undisguised anticipation in their expressions.
Su Hongye pondered for a moment, then opened her red lips and said:
“Firstly, this Empress wants to eliminate Old Ghost Tianji. Both of you must participate.”
“Secondly, this Empress’s son’s cultivation is currently shallow. You two should bring out some good items, to prevent Ye'er from encountering danger during his travels!”
“Finally, both of you will form an alliance with my Jiang Clan, including the Yan Family and the Tai Xu Divine Sect.”
“If both of you agree, then in the future, once this Empress’s son becomes an Emperor, he will treat your demonic Qi!”
“How about it?”
After a series of demands, the two Emperors fell silent for a moment.
They looked at each other, deep in thought.
They were a little puzzled.
Why did the Empress suddenly propose to kill Great Emperor Tianji?
There was no enmity between the two of them, was there?
Could it be because of the Heavenly Dao Academy?
So she wanted to cut the grass by the roots?
No.
Empress Hongye suddenly acted to destroy the entire Heide Dao Domain.
Heavenly Dao Academy... Great Emperor Tianji... Today’s events might still contain some secrets they didn’t know... Being old foxes of ten thousand years, they quickly thought of the crux of the matter.
But no matter what.
Healing the demonic Qi was something they could not refuse.
Once they chose to ally with the Jiang Clan and jointly eliminate Great Emperor Tianji, this matter was actually not difficult to accept.
Although it was somewhat unseemly.
But they were Emperors!
The world they perceived was already different from that of ordinary Cultivators.
All living beings were like grass!
Not to mention anything else, just the Lightning Tribulation that descended when they proved their Dao and became Emperors was accompanied by the destruction of several surrounding Star Domains.
A casual battle would result in the annihilation of several Dao Domains.
On the surface, they might appear righteous and speak a few words about the common people.
But when it came to seizing Opportunities, their actions were faster than anyone else’s.
As long as the benefits were sufficient.
No one would pretend any longer.
Whoever was slow!
Would suffer the loss!
Great Emperor Po Xu and Great Emperor Xuanhuang were silent, seemingly constantly weighing the pros and cons.
Currently, the Heavenly Dao was gradually recovering, and the Golden Great Era was about to arrive.
Becoming an Emperor was not far off.
Great Emperor Xuanhuang had also paid attention to Jiang Ye just now.
This child naturally possessed the Eternal Immortal Body, and already had such a cultivation at a young age. With the vast resources of the Jiang Clan supporting him, the possibility of him becoming an Emperor was already very high.
Now, with the newly Awakened special Physique, as long as he did not perish halfway, becoming an Emperor was almost a certainty.
The most important thing was to ally with the Jiang Clan.
If the other surviving Emperors found out, they would probably have quite a few complaints. What if they were pushed to the brink... Suddenly.
Great Emperor Xuanhuang said with some doubt: “Empress, I have one thing I don’t understand. Why not announce the Divine Son’s Awakened Physique to all the Heavens? At that time, the other Emperors would also come to assist...”
He stopped halfway through his sentence.
He suddenly realized!
This Empress!
Wanted to command the various lords by holding the Son of Heaven!
In the future, once the Evil Demon foreign races invaded the Heavens again.
The Jiang Clan, relying on Jiang Ye’s special Physique, would inevitably become the center of the Heavens, possessing supreme status!
This was asking them to choose sides!
