Chapter 1801: The Ruthless Empress Meets Lu Xuan!

For them.

This is both bad news and good news.

You should know that the Old Ancestor Destroy Heaven had desperately tried to stop them from returning to the Obsidian Star Region.

When Old Ancestor Zangxuan died, the Obsidian Star Region fell into chaos for a while.

In the end, the lineage of the Old Ancestor Destroy Heaven seized the top position.

And now, the tides have turned!

Elder Mo Feng looked at the Xuanji Holy Lord and said, "Ming, this time when we go back, perhaps we can stand more firmly."

Old Ancestor Wu Tian said nothing more.

He knew the situation of the Deep Abyss Lineages.

But this is ultimately an internal matter of the Gu Clan.

He simply has no time to worry about it.

As for the death of the Old Ancestor Destroy Heaven, heh… since it's already happened, what does it have to do with their Gu Clan?

Even if the Ruthless Empress has pierced the sky of the Chaotic Star Sea, there is still the Threefold Heaven Gate above it!

No need to worry needlessly!

Old Ancestor Wu Tian propelled the Deep Abyss Lineages' cloud boat forward with the power of Gu worms, his mind beginning to ponder the plans ahead.

……

Yaochi Star Region.

The Ruthless Empress appeared in a long dress, her peerless form re‑manifesting, graceful and unmatched, like a celestial maiden.

She saw a huge black cauldron in the depths of the void.

"How fragrant!"

A gentle smile appeared on her face, and her icy aura had faded.

She floated toward Lu Xuan.

At that moment, Yun Zheng was already waiting silently beside Lu Xuan.

Ye Chen and Yang Xuan were also at his side.

Also present were Elder Xiao Yue, Fang Yuan, Luo Lingkong, and the Great Emperor Chi Xiao.

Yun Zheng's beautiful eyes curved like crescent moons as she smiled at the Ruthless Empress.

The Ruthless Empress walked slowly, her jade feet light; wherever she passed, faint ripples appeared in the void, gorgeous and splendid.

Her heart pounded.

Lord Lu stood before her, yet she felt it was somewhat unreal.

It had been a long time since their last encounter with the Sword Dao Lord Lu.

So long that even her memory was covered with a layer of warm dust.

Her delicate body trembled slightly.

Her mood was like that of a wanderer who has been away for ages, now wanting to return home, yet feeling "the nearer the home, the more timid."

The Ruthless Empress took a long while to reach Lu Xuan's side.

This feeling was like sitting alone in reincarnation from time immemorial until now.

But it was no longer bitter; instead, it was a most mysterious sensation.

She felt she had much to say, but suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Lord Lu……"

"I……"

"You……"

Lu Xuan smiled, waved his hand, and a stone stool condensed; "Let's eat first."

The Ruthless Empress sat down.

It was just an ordinary stone stool.

But because Lu Xuan had conjured it, the Ruthless Empress found it comfortable and unique.

She waited quietly, very well‑behaved.

Just as she had been when they parted years ago.

To outsiders she is a lofty empress, but before Lord Lu she remains forever that girl from years past.

Ye Chen and Yang Xuan exchanged a smile.

They had seen the Ruthless Empress before; she was transcendent, like a celestial maiden who does not eat earthly food.

But before their master, that is exactly how she appears.

This is the master!

Not long after.

Lu Xuan brought out steaming food and placed it on the condensed stone table.

His divine sense glanced toward the Star Fire Dao Field.

Ji Fuyao also ended her sudden enlightenment and slowly opened her eyes.

"Whoosh!"

Divine fire continually flowed over her, bathing her delicate form like a stream.

A thread of the Dao Resonance of Nine Flame Divine Fire trickled onward.

All the spiritual fire of the Yaochi Star Region lay prostrate beneath her jade feet.

At this moment, Ji Fuyao was like the Flame Ancestor.

Lu Xuan smiled, "Not bad, not bad."

He flicked his sleeve, a power that pierced the heavens and space surged, moving Ji Fuyao directly over.

"Master."

Ji Fuyao gave a delighted smile.

Her gain this time was truly huge.

The increase in cultivation was secondary; what mattered most was her insight into the Dao Resonance of the spirit fire.

The Dao contained within the Nine Flames Divine Fire was profoundly mysterious.

Lu Xuan said, "Eat first."

Everyone immediately sat down in a circle.

Today we have Spirit Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, stir-fried sweet pepper spirit meat, braised ape palms...

The Ruthless Empress took a bite and began to savor it elegantly.

"Mm."

She felt an electric shock run through her body.

So delicious!

Even Lord Lu has such culinary skill?

"Is it good?" Lu Xuan asked with a smile.

In the Ruthless Empress's beautiful eyes, galaxies surged, her snow-white neck slightly tilted as she nodded, saying, "Delicious."

Lu Xuan said, "If it's good, eat more."

The Ruthless Empress nodded, "Mm."

Ji Fuyao noticed that the Ruthless Empress and the Holy Maiden Yun Zheng kept gazing at Master.

That kind of gaze... she was all too familiar with it.

She usually looks at Master that way, doesn't she?

Heavens!

Could it be that the Ruthless Empress and Yun Zheng also have feelings for Master...

Between them and Master, there is an ancient connection from primordial times.

Ji Fuyao still remembers that when Master sent them to the Butterfly World, they encountered a bronze ancient coffin—that was the Ruthless Empress's coffin.

The expression Master showed suggests that in the past he had a very mysterious relationship with the Ruthless Empress.

"Hmph, later I'll have Master take Yun Zheng and the Ruthless Empress as disciples."

Ji Fuyao thought to herself.

The Ruthless Empress temporarily set aside the many things she wanted to say, quietly savoring Lu Xuan's dishes.

Lu Xuan said with a smile, "It's a pity that Ah Li, Bai Li, and Fang Yuan aren't here now; otherwise we could all gather for a meal."

In this great battle, Fang Yuan and Bai Li both left.

Ah Li also took the Senluo Demon Kingdom and, with Lu Xuan's help, went to the Yaoxiong Star Domain.

The Ruthless Empress smiled charmingly, "Lord Lu, the disciples you've taken are all heaven-defying."

Lu Xuan smiled.

The Chixiao Emperor suddenly asked, "Your Majesty Empress, has the Heaven-Destroying Old Ancestor died now?"

The Ruthless Empress said, "He has fallen into reincarnation and will soon be worn away."

The Chixiao Emperor was overjoyed.

This way, humanity has one less top-tier enemy!

Lu Xuan asked, "How is your recovery now?"

The Ruthless Empress said, "If we were in the Heiyao Star Domain, we still couldn't exterminate the Heaven-Destroying Old Ancestor or the Wu Tian Old Ancestor, but outside it's different."

Lu Xuan smiled, "Take it slow."

The Ruthless Empress felt a sense of peace.

With Lord Lu present, it seems nothing is a problem.

That burden of billions of jun weighing on her felt as if it had been lifted.

You must know that after Elder Ye Shuang died, the Hehuan Sect collapsed, and humanity was slaughtered; it was she who took up humanity's banner from Elder Ye Shuang's hands.

These past years, at the start she was gravely injured, possessing only Dao Fruit realm strength.

Now she is gradually improving.

Not long after.

Lu Xuan finished eating, then leisurely lay back on the recliner to rest.

At that moment, a system voice sounded in his ear: "Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the disciple mission! Assist Ji Fuyao in slaying Chi Yao Xianzi, unifying the Yaochi Imperial Dynasty! Begin distributing rewards!"
