In the next second, her figure suddenly vanished in front of Scarlett Jennings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Scarlett’s mind tensed, but she didn’t immediately follow. Instead, her gaze swept over the three nearly lifeless Ferocious Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring her damaged Divine Soul, Scarlett single-handedly chanted, once again summoning the Three-tailed form with her Divine Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Three tails darted toward the Ferocious Beasts without hesitation, piercing through their chests and pinning them to the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ferocious Beasts let out pitiful groans, barely audible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ensuring they couldn’t stir any trouble, Scarlett’s Fox Tail finally vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the tails impaling the Ferocious Beasts turned into stone pillars, immobilizing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After doing this, Scarlett’s Divine Soul grew increasingly weak. Nonetheless, she brushed it aside, drawing a line in the void before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demonic power of the Nine-tailed split open the void’s rift, and following Althea’s aura, Scarlett stepped into the rift, appearing in the Imperial City of Heavenly Origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she stepped out of the rift and caught sight of the Imperial City, Scarlett found herself momentarily dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Months ago, when she left, the Imperial City was bustling, with intricate buildings, wide streets, and the faint memory of the citizens’ farewell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, the city lay in ruins; its walls battered, blood nearly staining the moat red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city within fared no better; several areas stood as ruins after being ravaged by fire and sword. Though not as corpse-laden as outside the city, the bloodstains on the cobblestones testified to past horrors in this city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett didn’t linger, instead following Althea’s aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before finding Althea, Samuel Chalmers appeared before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still clad in armor, stained with blood and grime, looking more disheveled than she’d ever seen him. More concerning was the dimming of the Golden Light around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sense of foreboding filled Scarlett’s heart. Without pausing to ask, she quickly found where Althea was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city’s sacrificial altar, where she and Samuel once worshipped heaven and earth together, now held Althea, and before her lay a lifeless Golden Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was Damian’s true form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive Golden Dragon sprawled around the altar, its once brilliant scales now dull and lightless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What struck Scarlett most was the numerous swords and daggers stabbed into Damian’s body, each emanating human malevolence and hostility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she knew these weren’t the cause of Damian’s demise, nor could they truly harm his core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But… when Damian was stabbed, it must have been excruciating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Phoenix of Five-Colored was nearby, having lost several feathers. It sat there, tears falling, wailing softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Possibly annoyed by the noise, Althea swatted the little creature away with a tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she moved forward, gently embracing the dragon’s head, her remaining seven tails wrapped around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pure demon energy emanated from her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett watched as that energy seeped into Damian, only to vanish without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damian’s body no longer responded to her as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett felt a weight pressing on her chest, her throat choked with words unspoken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She never imagined Damian would meet such a fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could this happen to him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was supposed to be…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chaos and Shu’e appeared in the city; Damian killed Chaos.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel approached her, recounting the events of the past three days in a calm voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, with Samuel and Damian present, resolving Chaos and the city’s turmoil was only a matter of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And indeed, they succeeded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel executed the traitor Lieyuan Hou,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>while Damian slew Chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the chaos in the Mortal Realm didn’t cease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, the moment Chaos died, malevolent thoughts in Heavenly Origin City surged, and within the city and beyond, a group of cloaked figures in black appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment they emerged, without a word, they raised knives and slit their own throats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood stained the land, forming a massive Evil Formation beneath the vast city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Ferocious Beasts as offerings and the malevolent thoughts of Heavenly Origin and the continent, Shu’e manifested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu’e had no physical form; wherever it went, people fell into a frenzy of slaughter and malice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unwilling to let Heavenly Origin become hell, Damian, along with Samuel and the remaining Phoenix, sought to destroy Shu’e.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden Light and Phoenix Fire could both restrain malevolent thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t lose to Shu’e; they lost to the people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shu’e’s malevolence controlled the citizens, and when Damian used his dragon form to protect them, they struck him with their blades and swords.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of weapons laden with malevolence pierced through dragon scales into Damian’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damian indeed felt pain then, not from the wounds, but from the betrayal of those he protected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for this reason, malevolent thoughts seeped into Damian, attempting to corrupt his flesh and make him a puppet for Shu’e.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel’s voice was not loud, yet it was clear enough for Althea not far away to hear every word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Scarlett could sense the malice from the swords and daggers in Damian; how could Althea not feel it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that no amount of demonic power could revive Damian, Althea finally released him and turned slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once pure demon aura now turned murky, her face expressionless. She looked at Samuel and asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And those people?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was for protecting those foolish citizens that he battled against Shu’e, yet the ones he protected turned against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would not spare Shu’e, nor would she spare those who harmed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Althea’s demonic power surged, and despite suffering injuries from battling three Ferocious Beasts, she seemed oblivious, her overdrawn Divine Soul exuding a faint red light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the red light, traces of black energy flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Scarlett and Samuel both sensed danger and moved to stop her,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Althea! Calm yourself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet as they approached, Althea’s tail lashed out, sending them flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive fox tail, brimming with fierce demon energy, struck at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel immediately shielded Scarlett, conjuring a barrier with Golden Light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Althea, in her wrath, showed no restraint; the Golden Light Barrier shattered instantly, and Samuel and Scarlett were hurled several meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Althea coldly watched the two, her snow-white hair trailing on the ground with an ominous gray aura rising. She appeared as though engulfed in a snowstorm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold, terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her seven remaining tails glowed more intensely red, exuding a violent aura as if to rend heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damian is dead. The Heavenly Origin he guarded doesn’t need to exist anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They harmed him, so she would see the city, and the entire populace of Heavenly Origin, destroyed forever!\u003C\u002Fp>",1141,"2026-06-10T07:19:01.494Z",1,"novelbin.me","f1d2a24aef75db969d73df72e4b2c84fcdfce774a67654d17f084e0e93e9b8f0","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-1096","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-1094",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
