The Imperial Court has never lost, and it cannot lose!

Translation: "The Imperial Court has never lost, and it cannot possibly lose!"

At this moment.

Translation: "At this moment."

Wang Chen looked at Ji Fuyao behind her, the Imperial City Dragon Guard clad in heavy armor, his heart trembled, and she recalled that prophecy.

Translation: "Wang Chen saw Ji Fuyao behind her, the Imperial City Dragon Guard clad in heavy armor, and his heart trembled as he recalled that prophecy."

Wang Chen watched Ji Fuyao behind her, the Imperial City Dragon Guard clad in heavy armor, his heart trembled, and she recalled that prophecy.

But we need to keep the meaning exactly. We'll produce: "Wang Chen looked at Ji Fuyao behind her, the Imperial City Dragon Guard clad in heavy armor, his heart trembled, and she recalled that prophecy."

Supreme Huang Chao's prophecy!

Translation: "Supreme Huang Chao's prophecy!"

The Northern Yuan Imperial Court will be destroyed by masters of the Spirit Fire Dao; the Northern Yuan will melt, and the entire city will be clad in golden armor!

Translation: "\"The Northern Yuan Imperial Court will be destroyed by a strong cultivator of the Spirit Fire Dao; the Northern Yuan will melt, and the whole city will be clad in golden armor! \""

The Frost Empress saw Wang Chen's vision and coldly said, 'You must have recalled the prophecy of the rebel Supreme Huang Chao!'

Translation: "The Ice Frost Empress saw Wang Chen's vision and coldly said, \"You couldn't possibly have recalled the prophecy of the rebel Huang Chao, could you? \""

Wang Chen looked embarrassed and said nothing.

Translation: "Wang Chen wore an embarrassed expression and said nothing."

The Frost Empress snorted, 'That's nothing but a dead person.'

Translation: "The Ice Frost Empress snorted, \"That's nothing but a dead person. \""

The voice fell!

Translation: "The sound fell!"

Inside her spatial ring, the dao markings on the ancestral artifact glowed.

Translation: "Within her spatial ring, the Dao patterns on the ancestral artifact lit up."

She probed with her divine sense, her face turning excited, and she told the many ancestors behind her, 'The supreme ancestors of our Imperial Court are about to arrive!'

Translation: "Her divine sense probed in, her face became somewhat excited, and she told the many ancestors behind her, \"The supreme ancestors of our Imperial Court are about to descend! \""

The many ancestors exclaimed in joy, 'Our Imperial Court will finally ascend!'

Translation: "The many ancestors rejoiced, \"Our Imperial Court will finally ascend! \""

What a lousy supreme path—come if you want, don't if you don't!

Translation: "\"What a trash supreme path; come if you want, don't if you don't! \""

Elsewhere, in the starry sky.

Translation: "Meanwhile, amidst the starry sky."

Four elders sat aboard an ancient cloud ship engraved with mysterious supreme dao markings, sailing across the starry sky; their faces were solemn, and several people followed behind them.

Translation: "Four elders sat aboard an ancient cloud ship, its hull inscribed with mysterious supreme Dao patterns, crossing the starry sky; their faces were grave, and several people followed behind them."

These four are exactly the ascension ancestors of the Northern Yuan Imperial Court: Bing Qianluo, Bing Qianhan, and the others.

Translation: "These four people are precisely the ancestors who ascended the Northern Yuan Imperial Court: Bing Qianluo, Bing Qianhan, and others."

Bing Qianluo's face grew grave as a mark surged on his body—the slave seal of the Ice Spirit Realm—and he said, 'Our Imperial Court's ancestral artifact is broken; it appears the enemy's strength has surpassed even a quasi‑dao supreme!'

Translation: "Bing Qianluo's face was grave, a mark surged on his body—the slave mark of the Ice Purgatory Realm—and he said, \"Our Imperial Court's ancestral artifact is shattered; it seems the enemy's strength has surpassed even a quasi-Dao supreme. \""

Bing Qianhan gave a cold smile: 'Even if this tiny Primordial Realm could produce a supreme after all this time, it would be only a flawed supreme; a mere flawed supreme is nothing to fear.'

Translation: "Bing Qianhan coldly smiled, \"Even if such a small realm as the Grand Inception Realm, after so long, could produce a supreme, it would only be a defective supreme; a mere defective supreme is nothing to fear. \""

Behind them, a black‑robed elder pointed to the distant Primordial Realm and asked, 'Is this your homeworld?'

Translation: "Behind the four, a black-robed elder pointed at the distant Grand Inception Realm and asked, \"Is this your mother star? \""

Bing Qianluo and the four replied humbly, 'Not bad.'

Translation: "Bing Qianluo and the four replied with utmost humility, \"Not bad. \""

The black‑robed elder shook his head and said, 'We are now near the Ruins; this world has been contaminated by strange power and bears a terrifying rift, so it won't last long. As a slave world, it might only survive a few decades and has little value.'

Translation: "The black-robed elder softly shook his head, \"We are close to the Ruins now, and this realm has been tainted by strange forces, with a terrifying rift; it won't last much longer. As a slave star, perhaps it can only endure a few decades, holding little value. \""

Bing Qianluo's face shifted, and he said, 'My lord, sorry!'

Translation: "Bing Qianluo's face changed, \"My lord, sorry! \""

This black‑robed elder is in fact a three‑star supreme native to the Ice Spirit Realm, of high standing.

Translation: "This black-robed elder is actually a three-star supreme of the Ice Purgatory Realm's native, of high standing."

The Ice Spirit Realm is one of the many minor realms governed by the Cloud‑Rising Holy Land; though its strongest are only five‑star supremes, relying on the Cloud‑Rising Holy Land, many forces beyond the fourth star ring dare not provoke it.

Translation: "The Ice Purgatory Realm is one of many small realms under the governance of the Cloud Rising Holy Land; although its strongest is only a five-star supreme, relying on the Cloud Rising Holy Land, many forces outside the Fourth Star Ring dare not provoke it."

The black‑robed elder said calmly, 'If that's the case, then go seize some living beings over there.'

Translation: "The black-robed elder lightly said, \"If so, then go plunder some living beings over there. \""

In the Fallen Star Sea, cultivation resources are crucial, but living beings are also a cultivation resource.

Translation: "In the Fallen Star Sea, cultivation resources are important, but living beings are likewise a kind of cultivation resource."

Great realms frequently wage war, annexing minor realms and plundering their living beings.

Translation: "Great realms often wage war, annex small realms, and plunder living beings!"

Bing Qianluo replied respectfully, 'Understood! The living beings of this Northern Yuan realm can all be seized by our Ice Spirit Realm. In the Eastern Wastes, since the Ji clan's elder serves as an elder in the Cloud‑Rising Holy Land, we cannot move against them.'

Translation: "Bing Qianluo respectfully said, \"As you command! The living beings of this realm's Northern Yuan can all be plundered by my Ice Purgatory Realm. In the Eastern Wasteland, since the ancestor of the Ji clan serves as an elder in the Cloud Rising Holy Land, we dare not act. \""

The black‑robed elder slightly frowned and said, 'Oh? Then go seize the Northern Yuan's living beings.'

Translation: "The black-robed elder slightly furrowed his brows, \"Oh? Then go plunder the living beings of the Northern Yuan. \""

……

Translation: "……"

Yunhan Mountain Range.

Translation: "Cloudy Cold Mountain Range."

Ji Fuyao wore a scarlet long robe, with terrifying spirit‑fire dao patterns flowing across her, and she said calmly, 'Let's go to the inheritance ground.'

Translation: "Ji Fuyao wore a scarlet robe, her body flowing with terrifying Spirit Fire Dao Resonance, and she said lightly, \"Let's go to the Land of Inheritance. \""

Just then.

Translation: "Just then."

At the inheritance site, several middle‑aged Flame Alliance men stepped out; seeing the vast army, they were utterly shocked. After a moment, they bowed to Ji Fuyao and lowered their voices, saying, 'Senior Ji Fuyao, our Flame Alliance's King‑General Su has been waiting for you for a long time.'

Translation: "In the Land of Inheritance, several middle-aged men of the Fire Alliance came out; seeing the vast army, they were greatly shocked, and after a moment they bowed to Ji Fuyao, lowering their voices to say, \"Senior Ji Fuyao, Lord Su, the King General of our Fire Alliance, has been waiting for you for a long time. \""

'Now that the Fuyao Dynasty has joined us, our strength has grown enormously.'

Translation: "\"Now that the Fuyao Imperial Dynasty has joined, our strength has become much stronger. \""

Chen Bing wanted to speak but stopped himself.

Translation: "Chen Bing wanted to speak but stopped."

Soon.

Translation: "Soon."

Ji Fuyao led Wang Man and Qing Yan, among others, into the inheritance site, passing through the towering stone gate, and they arrived at a vast expanse of mountains and waters.

Translation: "Ji Fuyao led Wang Man, Qing Yan, and others into the Land of Inheritance, passing through the towering stone gate, and everyone arrived at a vast expanse of mountains and waters."

This place is a self‑contained world‑city!

Translation: "Here stands a Heaven-Earth City!"

All the members of the Flame Alliance headquarters had been waiting for a long time.

Translation: "Everyone at the Fire Alliance Headquarters had been waiting for a long time."

Seeing Ji Fuyao descend, Su Yunxi immediately rose, a flicker of shock crossing her face, stunned by Ji Fuyao's beauty, but she quickly stepped forward to stand before Ji Fuyao.

Translation: "Seeing Ji Fuyao descend, Su Yunxi immediately rose, a hint of shock appearing on her face, dazzled by Ji Fuyao, but she quickly stepped forward to stand before Ji Fuyao."

Ji Fuyao said calmly, 'Where is the inheritance of Supreme Huang Chao?'

Translation: "Ji Fuyao said lightly, \"Where is the inheritance of Supreme Huang Chao? \""

Su Yunxi's lips curled slightly, 'A mere dead person—why bother with his inheritance?'

Translation: "Su Yunxi's lips curled slightly, \"A mere dead person—why bother with inheritance? \""

Ji Fuyao's face remained calm, as if she had expected this.

Translation: "Ji Fuyao's face remained calm, as if she had expected this."

But the people behind Su Yunxi were puzzled, 'Sir Su, what does this mean?'

Translation: "But the people behind Su Yunxi were somewhat puzzled, \"Lord Su, what does this mean? \""

Su Yunxi snorted coldly, 'What a bunch of idiots! Since it's come to this, I'll tell you: in the entire Yunhan Mountain Range, only one of us will survive—and that's me.'

Translation: "Su Yunxi snorted coldly, \"What a bunch of idiots! Since things have come to this, I'll tell you: in the entire Cloudy Cold Mountain Range, only one person among us will survive—and that's me! \"

'I have long been a member of the Imperial Court! You dare come here—this is already a dead‑end!'

Translation: "\"I have long been a person of the Imperial Court! You dare come here—this is already a dead end! \""

The voice fell!

Translation: "The sound fell!"

Many powerful members of the Flame Alliance headquarters were left dumbfounded.

Translation: "The many strong ones of the Fire Alliance Headquarters were left dumbfounded."

All eyes turned to Su Yunxi.

Translation: "All eyes turned to Su Yunxi."

'Sir Su, you… you… have betrayed our Flame Alliance!!'

Translation: "\"Lord Su, you, you… you have betrayed our Fire Alliance!! \""

'Why is this? The Flame Alliance headquarters helped you obtain the dynasty's supreme inheritance—why would you do this?'

Translation: "\"Why is this? Our Fire Alliance Headquarters helped you obtain the inheritance of the Imperial Dynasty Supreme—why would you do this? \""

'We were about to fight to the death—why, Sir Su, would you betray the Flame Alliance?'

Translation: "\"We were about to fight to the death; Lord Su, why would you betray the Fire Alliance? \""

The Flame Alliance members grew angrier the more they spoke.

Translation: "The Fire Alliance members grew angrier the more they spoke!"

They had all been deceived by Su Yunxi!

Translation: "They had all been deceived by Su Yunxi!"

Who would have thought a king‑general would actually betray the Flame Alliance?

Translation: "Who would have thought a King General would actually betray the Fire Alliance?"

Su Yunxi sneered, 'Opposing the Imperial Court is nothing but a dead‑end. Only by stepping on your corpses can I rise higher in the Imperial Court.'

Translation: "Su Yunxi sneered, \"Opposing the Imperial Court is nothing but a dead end. Stepping on your corpses, I can ascend to higher positions in the Imperial Court! \"

As for you, Ji Fuyao and your so-called Fuyao Dynasty are also a dead end!

Here, the Imperial Court's powerhouses have completely surrounded us, and they have laid down a Heaven-Reaching Formation; no one can escape!

Saying this, she looked toward outside the inheritance land and loudly said, "Welcome the Empress's arrival!"

Boom!

Crack!

The Ice Empress, clad in an ice-blue long robe, stepped down from the void, followed by General Wang Chen and others. Around her surged an extreme icy power; the silver-white Dao Resonance continuously flowed. With each step she took, an ice-frost step condensed on the Above the Void. Her might was heaven-shaking; merely the release of her aura caused the temperature of this region to plummet greatly, and snowflakes drifted in the void.

Thud!

Su Yunxi directly knelt before the Ice Empress and loudly said, "This is my letter of allegiance…"

She hadn't finished speaking.

Hiss!

An ice pillar suddenly shot up from the ground, directly piercing Su Yunxi's body and impaling her on it.

Su Yunxi looked at Ji Fuyao in utter shock, blood continuously spraying from her mouth, "You…"

Ji Fuyao's expression remained normal.

Su Yunxi lifted her head, face full of astonishment, looked at the Ice Empress, and asked in bewilderment, "Your Majesty the Empress, why do you act against me…"

The Ice Empress snorted, "Su Yunxi, if you resisted the Imperial Court, I would still regard you a bit more highly and leave you a whole corpse, but since you could stab the Fire Alliance in the back today, you could also stab the Imperial Court in the back today! The Imperial Court has no need for trash like you!"

Hearing this, Su Yunxi immediately spat out a mouthful of essence blood.

Pfft!

She could not believe it.

Her planned letter of allegiance, for which so many Fire Alliance powerhouses died, actually resulted in this?

Hahaha!

The Fire Alliance members all burst out laughing.

Su Yunxi, you wretch, you've brought this upon yourself!

Hahaha! Good that you died!

Heh… te!

The Ice Empress coldly looked down on Su Yunxi, "You are nothing but a lowly person, yet you also wish to become a member of my Imperial Court?"
