Chapter 1693: On to slay Yang Tianming!

Chi Xiao Great Emperor's body was also stained with the uncanny; the uncanny power invaded, turning half of his flesh black, flesh rotting away, revealing gleaming white bones, extremely horrifying.

Lu Xuan's gaze swept the surroundings, and he quickly spotted the secret of this hall.

Inside this hall, countless reincarnation patterns filled it, dense as a net covering the sky.

"Hiss—"

Numerous patterns evolved into obscure ancient Dao diagrams, wandering like swimming dragons, swallowing mountains and rivers.

This can be said to be the absolute core of the entire Chi Xiao Divine Kingdom!

Within the hall, a heaven-defying reincarnation power surged, then poured into Chi Xiao Great Emperor's body, aiding him in suppressing the uncanny power.

After a moment, Chi Xiao Great Emperor asked, "How is the situation at the border?"

A black-armored man said, "Your Majesty, the southern uncanny tribe, western Gu Clan, and northern great demons... all invade together; we lose land and people every day!"

"Within half a million li of southern territory fell into the hands of the uncanny tribe."

"The western region of nearly ten million li has become a base for refining Gu!"

"The northern great demons also run rampant, devouring our divine kingdom's people!"

"Now our divine kingdom's situation is already perilous!"

"……"

Hearing this news, Chi Xiao Great Emperor's brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

You must know, there is also a Longevity Clan not operating openly.

These enemies hide in the shadows, manipulating the fragmented river of time.

The divine kingdom's river of time has already had a segment occupied by the Longevity Clan.

Next, more reports came in.

Without a doubt, none of them were good news.

Many powerful human forces were brutally slaughtered by the enemy, and the landscape's balance was seized.

Externally, enemy armies sweep in; internally, strong foes in the imperial capital also act.

Internal troubles, external threats!

A sense of helplessness appeared on Chi Xiao Great Emperor's face: "Damn it! I don't know when I ended up in such a passive state."

"Convey my order: other places may be abandoned, but Chi Xiao Sword Pavilion, Tianyun Academy, Lingxu Holy Land... these places must not be lost."

As the voice fell, it rang like a great bell within the hall.

"Yes, sir!"

Several High Star Dao Transformation Realm powerhouses said.

They well knew these places held the strategic advantage and must never fall into enemy hands.

After a moment, Chi Xiao Great Emperor asked, "I had you investigate that previous heaven-earth anomaly—how did it go?"

Several ministers who had escaped from the Heavenly Surveillance Bureau said, "Your Majesty, that heaven-earth anomaly should be due to the power merging into our divine kingdom. Our strength has declined too severely; in the short term we cannot investigate its root."

"We suspect this power might be the act of the Ruthless Empress."

Hearing this, Chi Xiao Great Emperor showed a hint of bewilderment.

Within the divine kingdom, life and death have cycled too many times; he can no longer remember.

He does not know what the state of the remnant universe outside is like.

How is the Ruthless Empress now?

You must know that back then, the remnant universe erupted in war, and the Chi Xiao Divine Kingdom directly dragged the strong enemy into the reincarnation dojo, sealing heaven and earth, completely unaware of the outside world.

"But Your Majesty, this power can be used by us, and the enemy can also activate it. It is an extremely pure primal Dao resonance."

Several people said.

Chi Xiao Great Emperor nodded, "I know this matter. We have grown stronger, and so has the enemy. Continue investigating; if you can unlock the secret of this primal power, perhaps our divine kingdom can achieve absolute victory."

"Yes, sir!" said several ministers of the Heavenly Surveillance Bureau.

Lu Xuan lightly shook his head and left the imperial hall.

This Chi Xiao Great Emperor now only has self-preservation strength.

His current strength cannot cleanse the uncanny power on his body.

The urgent task is to set up reincarnation patterns and gain dominion over this world.

"Chi Xiao Sword Pavilion, Tianyun Academy, Lingxu Holy Land..."

The places Chi Xiao Great Emperor mentioned are the core lands of the divine kingdom.

Coincidentally, Yang Ling'er and the others from Green Hill are right here.

When the time comes, he will step in here and lay down the reincarnation patterns.

You must know that to obtain the Heaven's Mandate Origin, he now possesses an ancient space capable of containing it—the Tianyuan Remnant Realm.

But first, the Chi Xiao Divine Kingdom must be separated out.

That is, to separate the reincarnation patterns from the power of Butterfly Moon.

He needs to master the divine kingdom's authority to do so.

Chi Xiao Great Emperor can no longer be relied upon.

Fortunately, he still has some use—he can draw the enemy's fire.

Soon.

Lu Xuan returned to the Crown Prince's Residence.

Now the Crown Prince's Residence has been inscribed by him with numerous reincarnation patterns; it has become a self-contained heaven and earth, appearing still within the imperial capital but actually having fully seized heavenly and earthly authority.

"Hiss—"

Countless silk threads flow, outlining an ultimate domain.

This is a formation pattern personally created by the Ruthless Person Empress!

It can be considered the "ancestor" of the formation patterns of the Crimson Sky Divine Kingdom.

Naturally, one can open up another space within the heaven and earth of the Imperial Capital.

This method is like building a pavilion on a high mountain, using the heaven and earth of the Imperial Capital as the foundation!

Any enemy who steps into this place can have their life and death seized by Lu Xuan in a single thought.

He is the master!

At this moment, Yang Tianming and Qi Chun Jing are both sitting cross-legged, cultivating.

The original owner's obsession has already dissipated, but it left behind a great amount of Dao Resonance.

To them, it is completely a ready-made power!

Both of them still have threads of the Origin of Heaven's Mandate pulling on them, as they refine the Qi of Heaven's Mandate.

Just then.

"Boom boom boom!"

Outside the Crown Prince's Residence, dozens of divine rainbows appeared, the leader being an expert of the High Star Dao Transformation Realm.

Among these people, there are both the Gu Clan and the Deceit Clan.

Lu Xuan let out a cold snort: "As expected, these people's treacherous hearts are not dead."

A black-clad old man frowned deeply: "Do you feel that the Crown Prince's Residence looks somewhat different?"

This group stopped outside the Crown Prince's Residence, some hesitating to proceed.

Although they cannot peer into Lu Xuan's formation patterns, the entire manor is profoundly mysterious and unfathomable.

This made them somewhat hesitant to advance.

"Not bad, how did the Crown Prince's Residence become somewhat different?"

"It seems a high person has changed its layout!"

"It must be the Grand Tutor who did this. This fellow greatly values the Crown Prince."

The crowd began to discuss.

The black-clad old man leading them had a solemn face, let out a cold snort, and said: "What's there to fear? The Grand Secretary has already given the order—we must kill the Crown Prince and the Grand Tutor! Even if there are traps inside, we must charge in."

"Charge in!"

He directly gave the order.

The crowd instantly rushed into the Crown Prince's Residence.

"Boom—!" "Boom—!"

The aura of the people was like an abyss and a sea; on one side, the radiant Gu creatures burst forth with divine splendor, as if crowned with a dozen suns, making half of the sky over the Crown Prince's Residence blaze with brilliant light.

On the other side were the Deceit Clan, who summoned their dharma forms, their bodies huge like gods and demons, with terrifying abyss phenomena evolving beneath their feet, turning that half of the sky into a dark, gloomy black.

"Kill kill kill kill!"

The people's shouts rose to heaven.

Lu Xuan looked at Yang Tianming, the corner of his mouth slightly rising: "Your tempering opportunity has come."

He flicked his sleeve, and a terrifying power surged toward the enemies.
