Chapter 1666

Jiang Qinge advanced to Peerless Eighth Rank, which undoubtedly injected a strong stimulant into the Great Xia Alliance, countless citizens rejoicing and invigorated.

In these four years of chaotic times, on the Eastern Divine Prefecture, who knows how many dynasties and empires have collapsed, and how many living beings have been annihilated; the former peace and tranquility have long vanished, all living beings enduring their days in fear and unease.

No one knows whether, upon opening their eyes next time, they will find outside their city an overwhelming flood of alien forces already surging forth.

Over these four years, Jiang Qinge, relying on her illustrious and dazzling battle achievements, has already established a mighty reputation in the Eastern Divine Prefecture, repeatedly rescuing the Great Xia Alliance from the brink of collapse, holding back wave after wave of erosion from the dark world's ghostly entities.

The name of the Twelve-Winged Radiant Divine Maiden has long spread to every corner of the Eastern Divine Prefecture.

One could say that within the Great Xia Alliance, Jiang Qinge has become the pillar holding up the sky in the hearts of countless beings; thus, her successful breakthrough this time has also greatly boosted the morale of the Great Xia Alliance.

Moreover, with Jiang Qinge advancing to Peerless Eighth Rank, it signifies that the Great Xia Alliance truly possesses the strength to contend with the Three-Crowned Demon Kings.

After all, Jiang Qinge, while at Peerless Seventh Rank, had already slain a Double-Crowned King; now entering Peerless Eighth Rank, her strength naturally surges forward leaps and bounds; although she has not yet clashed with a true Three-Crowned Demon King, no matter what, relying on her methods and foundations, she will not allow the opponent to run rampant.

At the same time, the news of Jiang Qinge's smooth advancement to Peerless Eighth Rank has also been transmitted to other Divine Prefectures, including the Four Great Inner Divine Prefectures.

The entire Divine Prefecture Assembly has thus been stirred into some commotion, for not long ago, Dan Tan Lan had just advanced to Peerless Ninth Rank.

And who is Jiang Qinge?

She is Dan Tan Lan's daughter-in-law.

That is to say, they are all one family.

Now this family: Li Jingzhe advanced to Heavenly King, Dan Tan Lan to Peerless Ninth Rank, Jiang Qinge to Peerless Eighth Rank; it is said that Li Taixuan is also extraordinarily outstanding, although he has not appeared in the world for many years, but according to internal intelligence from the Divine Prefecture Assembly, his strength also seems extremely terrifying, having roamed the Marquis Battlefield for many years, even if the great demon king of the dark world personally acted, he has never been captured.

By the way, there is also Li Luo, who has been in seclusion for four years.

This is also not an existence that can be ignored; he possesses the Myriad Aspects Seed, and several years ago, he even preceded Jiang Qinge by entering Peerless Seventh Rank first; his talent and foundation are absolutely peerless in the world; although his seclusion these years has somewhat wasted the fortune of heaven and earth, nevertheless, he is also a Peerless Marquis.

Calculating thus, all top powers are inevitably somewhat shaken; if Li Taixuan is included, this family already has one Heavenly King and four Peerless Marquis?

Surveying ancient and modern times, such a prominent family truly is a unique example.

However, this is also the fortune of the Divine Prefecture; at this critical juncture, the Divine Prefecture's heavenly pride arises bearing destiny, solely to protect this heaven and earth, to keep those in the heart safe, and to bring peace and smoothness.

Tian Yuan Divine Prefecture, the energy between heaven and earth violently surges, roaring, across the vast land stretching millions of miles, blazing war flames burn, and countless waves of phase power burst forth everywhere.

On the battlefield, at times there are clashes of King Realm powerhouses, causing heaven to collapse and earth to split.

There are huge flags waving in the battlefield, inspiring morale and spirit.

On the flags, ancient-style characters "Li" and "Qin" etc. appear.

This is the Tian Yuan Allied Army centered on the Li and Qin Tianwang lineage.

At this time, the allied army is actively conducting a punitive expedition against a large ghostly entity; indeed, after being attacked for four years, the Tianwang lineage on Tian Yuan Divine Prefecture this time chose to take the initiative.

The reason they dare to act thus is naturally because they command a peerless supreme powerhouse, Dan Tan Lan, who is Peerless Ninth Rank.

Peerless Ninth Rank is the ultimate realm beneath the Heavenly King.

Beneath the Heavenly King I am invincible; above the Heavenly King, one exchanges for one.

The former sentence is unquestioned by anyone; the latter sentence may be exaggerated rumor, but it absolutely demonstrates that even facing a true Heavenly King, Peerless Ninth Rank will not be in the same crushed position as other King Realm powerhouses.

Facing a perfect Peerless Ninth Rank, even a peak Three-Crowned Demon King powerhouse can only avoid its sharp edge; it can be said that, under the current circumstance where Heavenly Kings do not manifest in the Ten Great Divine Prefectures, Dan Tan Lan's Peerless Ninth Rank can be called the foremost person of the present age.

This can be seen from her previous grand battle achievements.

By her own strength, she has slain three Three-Crowned Demon Kings; although not at the peak of Three-Crowned Demon Kings, it is sufficient to demonstrate her invincibility.

Precisely because of Dan Tan Lan's such strength, the Tian Yuan Allied Army gained the confidence to take the initiative, attempting to eliminate these ghostly entities before they form continuous fusion, thereby reducing hidden dangers.

Boom!

At a certain place on the battlefield, suddenly a vast and violent evil thought origin burst forth from deep within the earth, transforming into a pair of hands dripping with corrosive aura, directly seizing more than ten Marquis Realm powerhouses in its palm; the latter struggled desperately, but to no avail, only watching helplessly as the Marquis platforms guarding their bodies gradually cracked and shattered.

Patter patter!

However, just at this moment, suddenly a violent downpour poured from heaven and earth, each raindrop containing rich origin power, appearing light and insubstantial, but in reality each drop is as heavy as mountains; when it falls, even the void triggers violent distortion.

The torrential rain collides with the hands transformed from the evil thought origin, instantly melting the latter completely.

It also completely rescues those Marquis Realm powerhouses.

The surviving Marquis Realm powerhouses, their faces still stained with blood and fatigue, now glow with excitement; they suddenly lift their heads, gazing through the pouring downpour like the Tianhe River pouring down, the dark rain curtain.

Only then is seen a tall and graceful figure, silently suspended between heaven and earth.

She wears a robe that seems woven from the tenderest new leaves of early spring, cyan-green in color, the wide sleeves and skirt hem fluttering gracefully in the wind and rain, outlining her tall and exquisite figure.

The woman bears bare jade feet, ankles slender, arches beautiful, skin like the finest mutton-fat white jade, appearing pure and flawless amidst the heavenly downpour, untouched by dust.

She steps through the void to arrive, her lustrous jade finger pointing at the ground; only then is seen deep beneath the earth, suddenly a torrent of water surges upward, in the blink of an eye transforming the land into a vast marsh.

And in the marsh, a white lotus a hundred li in size grows at astonishing speed; on its petals are inscribed soaring phoenix patterns, rich origin aura spreading forth.

Layer upon layer of lotus petals interweave, seemingly forming a prison.

And at the lotus heart, surges of evil thought aura spread like thick smoke, attempting to erode and destroy it, but are extinguished by the phoenix light patterns on the petals spewing forth black water, completely doused.

In the lotus heart, a demonic shadow with strength comparable to a One-Crowned King manifests, somewhat flustered and embarrassed.

But before it can erupt, the phoenix white lotus begins to close, like a heavenly lid descending, simultaneously permeating with water-origin phase power, submerging that demonic shadow, suppressing it within the lotus heart, continuously eroding and wearing it down.

Boom boom!

That alien king also knows being thus imprisoned and suppressed will eventually be worn away completely; thus it expends all strength in resistance, but now the seal has formed, wanting to escape is no longer so easy; therefore its resistance only causes the white lotus to violently tremble continuously, yet it never breaks.

The warm, clear, and lovely woman extends her jade hand; the phoenix white lotus spanning a hundred li begins to shrink, finally becoming a lotus bud, falling into her palm.

"Finally subdued." She exhaled a breath of relief, having battled this alien king for a long time; now at last she has exhausted her means, trapping it, thereafter to be continually worn down by black water, ensuring its eventual destruction.

"Thank you, Water Immortal, for your rescue!" At this moment, those she rescued, the Marquis Realm powerhouses, all show reverence and admiration, bowing from afar.

The woman who subdued an alien One-Crowned King is none other than the former Water Immortal, Qin Yi!

In just four short years, she directly advanced from her previous Third Rank Marquis to the realm of a One-Crowned King; such cultivation speed, if placed several years ago, would surely be astonishing, but placed in the current situation where new kings continually emerge in heaven and earth, it can also be understood.

After all, these ten years have been dubbed the "Heaven's Fortune Ten Years"!

These ten years are borrowing fortune from the future of this heaven and earth; if the Ten Great Divine Prefectures cannot accumulate sufficient foundation within these ten years, then the future Divine Prefecture will inevitably experience a prolonged period of weakness.

Moreover, Qin Yi's opportunity is not limited to this, for she also received the legacy of that Qin Tianwang.

Indeed, in the battles that erupted over these four years on the Marquis Battlefield, that Qin Tianwang has fallen.

As for Qin Yi, she is his designated heir.

After four years, Qin Yi's appearance has matured considerably, her grace and demeanor commanding admiration; she lightly waves her hand to the crowd, then her expression suddenly shifts as she lifts her gaze to the distant heavens.

Cry!

The heavens there suddenly rupture, tearing open a vast chasm spanning ten thousand li, as a heaven-shaking Peng cry erupts—its resonance so piercing that nearly all of Outer Shenzhou can hear it.

"The Dan Tai Alliance Chief has made a move!"

Upon hearing this celestial, clear Peng cry echoing through the firmament, Qin Yi's face lights up with delight, a hint of reverence flickering in her beautiful eyes.

Over these past years, under Dan Tai Lan's leadership, many powers of Outer Shenzhou have repelled wave after wave of ghostly invasions, and in her hands, countless aberrant kings have met their end.

Such feats have earned Dan Tai Lan supreme prestige both within Outer Shenzhou and across the Divine Prefecture Assembly.

Beneath the gaze of countless trembling eyes, a golden Peng claw spanning tens of thousands of li manifests within the fractured heavens; etched upon this claw is a towering, majestic tree pattern, its essence encompassing all phenomena, radiating boundless power.

Simultaneously, silver light flows forth, stirring the spatial origin and empowering it.

The Peng claw pierces through countless layers of spatial obstruction, descending with a thunderous grasp—reaching deep into those stratified realms, it seizes a terrifying demonic shadow whose very presence causes heaven and earth to shift in hue.

It is a Three-Crowned Demon King!

Yet even a Three-Crowned Demon King, under Dan Tai Lan's precisely timed strike, is found to have its true form exposed, while the layers of space are stirred by her spatial affinity, transformed into lethal traps that engulf it.

Layer upon layer of space contracts, resembling a gauze sphere veiled in sheer fabric; the golden Peng claw descends slowly, ultimately dissolving into vast, mysterious light patterns that settle upon the spatial gauze sphere.

Upon it, the golden Peng unfurls its wings, the cosmic tree pattern taking root and swaying to life, while spatial origin energy continues to empower it.

Finally, this spatial gauze sphere, layered with suppression, is cast before countless onlookers into the depths of space, where it endures incessant erosion by spatial turbulence until it is utterly worn away.

Across the battlefield stretching a million li, earth-shaking cheers erupt.

Amidst the countless cheers, golden light descends from the horizon, coalescing into a figure clad in a purple robe, tall and slender, her brow bearing the chill of frost, her eyes sharp as lightning, her hair coiled into an elegant bun—she exudes both noble grace and a spirited vigor.

Golden radiance traces her slender silhouette, like a drawn purple blade—elegant and deadly.

This is Dan Tai Lan.

Yet another Three-Crowned King has been subdued beneath her hand.
