Chapter 86

"Disciple cultivation mission released: Host, go to Azure Prefecture to save Ji Fuyao, destroy the Drunken Immortal Tower!"

"The voice fell!"

"Lu Xuan hurriedly checked Ji Fuyao's system panel."

"【Senior Disciple: Ji Fuyao!"

"Realm: One-star Xuan Saint Realm!"

"【Condition: Burning Soul (serious injury)!】"

"Seeing this."

"Lu Xuan's face turned grim, killing intent surging."

"He knew Ji Fuyao's strength; if forced to Burning Soul, surely a Great Emperor had acted!"

"He wanted to temper his disciple, but whoever dares to bully the weak with strength, he will surely kill!"

"Lu Xuan's killing intent surged like a vast sea."

"The system said, 'Already locked onto the host's location for Ji Fuyao: Azure Prefecture, Willow City!'"

"In an instant, Lu Xuan felt a miraculous connection with Ji Fuyao across tens of millions of li."

"Lu Xuan directly activated the One Corner Supreme Great Emperor Formation."

"Boom—"

"His body surged with an obscure ancient spatial force; Lu Xuan felt his thoughts unfold, this corner of the Supreme Great Emperor Formation contained profound Dao and Rhyme."

"In a thought."

"Lu Xuan's figure vanished directly from Xuan Qing Feng, turning into a wisp of clean wind!"

"……"

"Azure Prefecture."

"Willow City."

"Ji Fuyao wore a Huo Se Chang Qun, wielding the Six-star Imperial Weapon Splitting Heaven; each thrust of her spear carried the force to sweep away thousands."

"This spear intent transformed into a wandering dragon roaming the Void; moreover, whenever Ji Fuyao burned her soul, the might of her imperial weapon grew terrifying— even a Quasi Emperor had no strength to fight!"

"Even the two One-star Great Emperors of the Heavenly Net Hall felt somewhat troubled."

"Wei Yan wore a mocking smile, a hint of pity in his eyes as he looked at Qing Yan and the others: 'Even if you all burn your souls, what then? Ultimately it's just death!'"

"Qing Yan bit her lip, shouting angrily: 'Dog thief! Even if I die today, I will surely kill you!'"

"Saying this, Qing Yan's eyes flashed with killing intent; under Burning Soul, her aura surged, she looked at Ji Fuyao: 'Your Majesty the Empress, this time we will die together even if we die!'"

"Ye Beichen waved his spirit sword; cold light flickered on the blade, the terrifying chilling sword intent surged like a endless river; within thousands of zhang around him, thunder was annihilated, rain ceased."

"He also directly burned his soul!"

"The Imperial Dragon Guard were all burning their souls!"

"\"Heavenly Net Hall! Drunken Immortal Tower! Today we fight to the death! \""

"Boom boom boom!"

"On Ji Fuyao's side, whether Quasi Emperor, Semi Emperor, Saint King, or Saint, all burned their souls!"

"Thousands of blazing flames shot up; everyone's eyes were about to burst, they gritted their teeth and charged straight at the Heavenly Net Hall and Drunken Immortal Tower crowds."

"Above the Void, killing intent boiled over; terrifying slaughtering power poured down, violent spiritual energy surged incessantly, brilliant spiritual lines flickered, wild winds swept, heavy rain like a bursting river struck this realm."

The Azure Smoke Jade Hand extended, an incomparably bizarre spirit wood pierced through Xu Xiu, twisted, and directly pierced the chest of a Quasi-Emperor of the Drunken Immortal Tower.

Die! Die! Die! Die!

Not far away.

Wang Man bellowed in rage, blood spraying wildly from his body, and directly used the blood axe to cleave the enormous Heavenly Net token.

His eyes were incomparably scarlet, his aura continually rising, and he directly charged toward Above the Void.

Thorough! Utter! Mad! Crazy!

He wielded the blood axe, as if splitting Mount Hua, and with one axe strike, a Quasi-Emperor's head exploded outright!

Blood rain scattered!

This is practically a beheading platform!

Heavenly Net Palace bastard! Drunken Immortal Tower traitor, die!

Another axe strike came down!

Another Quasi-Emperor's body was directly split in half!

Melee!

In the void, miserable cries rang incessantly.

Vast numbers of corpses kept falling!

One could hardly tell whether they were subordinates of Empress Ji Fuyao or people from the Heavenly Net Palace and the Drunken Immortal Tower!

For a moment, the fighting spirit of Ji Fuyao's troops surged to the heavens, actually rendering the Heavenly Net Palace and Drunken Immortal Tower's forces unable to resist!

Seeing this, the people of the Drunken Immortal Tower all shrank back, fleeing behind the two great emperors of the Heavenly Net Palace.

Ji Fuyao and her subordinates all went mad!

The grey-robed great emperor said coldly, "This empress harbors a death-seeking obsession, her might growing ever stronger! These imperial dynasty dragon guards are also going mad. In such a short time, several Quasi-Emperors have already fallen!"

Another great emperor frowned and said, "Let's temporarily avoid the sharp edge."

Saying that, the two great emperors directly sealed off the void, avoiding battle!

Ji Fuyao is burning her soul; she won't be able to hold on for long!

Boom!

The Void Emperor's dao patterns, with the speed of thunder before one can cover their ears, directly sealed the rift in the void.

Seal the Void with the will of a Great Emperor!

In an instant, above the Void, endless brilliant Dao markings shone brightly, like countless stars constantly twinkling.

The two Great Emperors of the Heavenly Net Palace continually retreated, keeping a distance from Ji Fuyao; their robes billowed, the spiritual seals in their hands constantly shifting, and in an instant, terrifying Great Emperor Dao markings shot out toward the Void.

The thunder of the heavens paled before these Great Emperor Dao markings; torrential rain poured down like a river flowing backward, filling heaven and earth with a mournful atmosphere.

Ye Beichen and Qingyan, among others, showed anger on their faces.

The enemy is avoiding battle; if we drag this on, our strength will quickly wane, and our situation will be ten deaths with no chance of survival!

Heaven Net, Earth Net!

Now there is no way to retreat; we can only fight to the death!

Seeing this, Ji Fuyao's hair flew loose, boundless flames ignited in her eyes, she mobilized the vast spiritual power within her body, and directly waved her hand holding the Splitting Heaven Imperial Weapon, intending to confront the two Great Emperors of the Heavenly Net Palace.

Hiss!

A spear-light fluttered like a startled swan, graceful as a swimming dragon, shooting up to the heavens; the sea of spiritual fire swept across the firmament, this spear-light contained the power of the 'Heaven-Burning Decision' and the 'Great Dao Scripture', already the utmost of Ji Fuyao's power.

The two Great Emperors of the Heavenly Net Palace were utterly shocked.

Ji Fuyao, merely a Profound Saint, burning her soul, can actually reach this extent?

Too heaven-defying!

But they never intended to clash head-on with Ji Fuyao.

They knew that Ji Fuyao was burning her soul; her combat power was only temporary!

After a fleeting bloom like the night-blooming cereus, she would be unable to withstand a single blow, as feeble as an ant, easily captured by them!

After the time it takes to burn an incense stick.

Ji Fuyao's aura began to continually weaken; burning her soul has its limits, she was nearly exhausted, her oil and wick burnt out.

And Wang Man and Qingyan, among others, also turned deathly pale, their strength continually dropping!

"Boom boom boom!"

At that moment, numerous quasi-emperors from the Heavenly Net Palace and the Drunken Immortal Tower instantly surrounded Qingyan and the others.

Behind them, thousands of half-emperors, holy kings, and saints surged like a tide.

In contrast, Ji Fuyao's side had only a dozen or so quasi-emperors and over a thousand half-emperors, holy kings, and saints!

The enemy is strong, we are weak!

The strength disparity is too great!

The gray-robed Great Emperor slammed down a palm; the terrifying imperial aura pressed down like a tide into the Void, this heaven-piercing palm was like a massive mountain range, like a vast continent, directly suppressing the heads of the dynasty's dragon guards and the Ye family members.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

Everyone instantly spat out a mouthful of essence blood!

Between a one-star Great Emperor and a quasi-emperor, the difference is like heaven and earth!

In the blink of an eye, the Fuyao Dynasty's forces collapsed like a mountain, and were directly blown away thousands of zhang.

Wang Man bled from all seven apertures, his eyes blood-red, unable to stand.

Qingyan's body was dyed red with endless blood, her face full of despair.

"Crack!"

Ye Beichen's quasi-emperor weapon, the Spirit Sword, snapped directly.

Despair!

Too desperate!

The people of the Fuyao Dynasty no longer had the strength to fight!

But at this moment.

Ji Fuyao's aura also became extremely feeble.

Burning the soul ultimately has its limits, like a fleeting night-blooming cereus; Ji Fuyao, holding the Splitting Heaven Imperial Weapon with both hands supporting it, barely managed to steady her stance above the Void.

Seeing this, the gray-robed Great Emperor sneered, "Even the glow of a firefly dares to compete with the sun and moon!"

Ji Fuyao's Huo Se Chang Qun fluttered; the torrential rain fell upon her, blood continuously streaming down.

She gazed toward the direction of the Great Dao Sect, still wishing to continue fighting, but her body could no longer support her, trembling constantly, blood continually flowing from her exquisite face.

In the next instant, Ji Fuyao surged forward, holding the Splitting Heaven Imperial Weapon, her jade hand trembling, yet even so she still thrust her strongest spear at the two Great Emperors of the Heavenly Net Palace.

Boom!

The two Great Emperors of the Heavenly Net Palace flicked their sleeves, releasing a heaven-piercing mighty force that howled out, directly blasting Ji Fuyao away; her imperial weapon fell straight into the Void, and blood burst from her body.

Seeing this, many of the dynasty's dragon guards had blood tears in their eyes.

"Her Majesty the Empress!"

"No! No……"

The two Great Emperors of the Heavenly Net Palace coldly looked down on Ji Fuyao, as if gazing at an ant: "Ji Fuyao, you have already lost."

But soon, Ji Fuyao climbed up from the Void, her Huo Se Chang Qun stained with blood, the power of a Profound Saint surging, her crystalline jade hand coated in blood, she blasted forward.

Boom!

Ji Fuyao was again blasted away hundreds of zhang!

Wang Man, Qingyan, Ye Beichen, and others felt their hearts torn apart; they also wanted to rise, but were utterly powerless.

But Her Majesty the Empress was still fighting!

Their hearts were dripping blood!

Not long after.

Ji Fuyao could no longer hold on; she could hardly climb up from the Void, feeling somewhat unwilling, she said, "Master, sorry, I have disappointed you..."

As she spoke, two clear streams of tears slowly flowed from Ji Fuyao's eyes.

Her foundation had been completely exhausted; this time, the supreme treasures her master had exchanged for her in the Grand Dao Hall had all turned to dust.

In the distance.

Wang Man, Qing Yan the leader, the many imperial dynasty dragon guards, and Ye Beichen together with the other Ye family ancestors all wore looks of grief.

They had burned everything.

But they were powerless to turn back!

They had truly given their all!

Ji Fuyao's eyes flickered; she had never in her life felt such a moment, longing for others' approval.

Before her appeared Lu Xuan's likeness, her delicate lips bleeding, 'Master...'

A trace of blood at the corner of Qing Yan's mouth, she struggled to rise from Above the Void, gazing toward the Grand Dao Sect as she shouted, 'Peak Master Lu, where are you? Peak Master Lu, can you hear me? Empress Fuyao is calling your name—why won't you appear?'

The next instant.

Wang Man also cried out, 'Peak Master Lu, you are the Supreme Emperor of Nan Huang's Peak; you must be able to sense what is happening here! Appear! Quickly appear!'

Thump!

Thump!

The Ye family ancestors knelt directly on Above the Void, praying with utmost devotion, 'Peak Master Lu, we are calling your name—why won't you appear?'

On the field, all the remnants of the imperial dynasty knelt down.

Calling Lu Xuan's name!

Seeing this, Ji Fuyao wore a bitter expression; she could no longer hold on!

Burning Soul was severely wounded!

On the brink of death!

She gave a bitter smile, 'Master, where are you?'

At this moment, a weak flame welled up in her heart, like a faint light in the darkness; her master is omnipotent—can he really hear us?

Then.

Ji Fuyao's delicate body trembled; she could no longer support herself, falling directly from Above the Void, her consciousness hazy as she softly called out once more.

'Master, are you there?'

Suddenly, someone actually responded!

'I'm here, I've always been here!'
