"You say... disappeared?" the Empress furrowed her brows as she looked at him, her eyes filled with scrutiny, judging the truthfulness of his words.

"Um..." Shen Yuan was certain as he turned back, curiously looking at her. This woman resembled His Majesty so much. He had never thought that His Majesty’s visage as a woman could be so radiant, making his heart inexplicably pound.

"Not Spatial Art?"

"It couldn’t possibly be Spatial Art!" Shen Yuan asserted. "The instability of using Spatial Art in this chaotic flow is extremely poor, let alone leaving no trace at all. It’s absolutely impossible..."

"What could it be?" The Empress looked at Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan felt uncomfortable under her gaze, but he still honestly said, "I don’t know. I have limited knowledge. Apart from being sure that it’s not Spatial Art, I can’t provide any clues about what this method might be. I’m truly ashamed."

"You, such an honest boy, were actually chosen by the White Tiger? That’s really curious..." The Empress looked at him, her eyes filled with amusement, causing Shen Yuan’s face to turn red.

The Empress chuckled softly, then turned her head to a man in white behind her, "Do you see anything?"

"No..." The man frowned, confusion written all over his handsome face, "I agree with him. It definitely isn’t Spatial Art. Although Spatial Art is useful, its traces are the hardest to conceal among all techniques. Once it’s used somewhere, traces can still be found even after half a month.

This is also why Spatial Sorcerers are actually quite easy to track, but this situation is completely different. "

If Chen Qing were here, he would definitely recognize that the handsome man in white was none other than the Samsara Player, Sparrow Bee, who had nearly driven him and Tianji into a dead end in the Southern Border!

Sparrow Bee accurately looked at a specific area, speaking faintly, "A person’s trace stops abruptly right there. That Emperor of the Siao Family must have disappeared at that spot."

Shen Yuan was startled. This person was remarkably impressive, able to make such an accurate judgment with just one glance, but how?

"How did he disappear?" the Empress pressed.

"I don’t know..." Sparrow Bee shook his head, "I’ve never encountered such a thing before—a person’s trace completely disappearing, right at that spot, as if it was cut off, utterly non-existent, giving the impression as if..."

"As if what?" the Empress’s eyes flashed with a chilly light.

"As if it was erased!"

"Erased..." the Empress murmured to herself, then looked toward an old man in the distance.

She had never seen that old man before, but she knew who he was just from one glance.

He was the one who had manipulated everyone’s forces, possessing a chilling aura in his body, similar to the sinister thing that Fei Jun once had inside him.

This must be the head of the so-called Ancient Demon Clan.

Currently, beneath him could almost be described as a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, strewn with limbs and arms. The corpses of these people carried dense elements and powerful blood essence, which quickly congealed to form high-quality Blood Essence Stones.

With just one glance, the Empress knew these corpses must be those of the sorcerers from the Southern Sea.

"Do you know?"

The High Priest looked at him, his eyes filled with wonder.

This woman... must be what the Emperor Siao left as his trump card in the Capital City, right?

Could this woman... have caused King Chu Jiang to fail his mission?

He also recognized that fellow called Sparrow Bee, a highly dangerous Reincarnator back in the day, targeted jointly by the people of the Four Major Guilds and sealed in the Southern Border.

Sparrow Bee and King Chu Jiang were once allies, so why was he now working under this woman?

And strangely, he remembered that Sparrow Bee was already at King Level, so she couldn’t move freely in this world, so why... could she now? What had this creature done?

Most importantly, this woman, though the High Priest had yet to engage her in battle, felt like a formidable opponent!

This woman’s threat was no less than that of Emperor Siao.

It seemed this time, the Human Race had produced some notable figures—Liu Yu, who dared to explore the secrets of the Ancient Demon, and the current Emperor, who dared to confront them head on, were characters he had never encountered before.

He had a feeling that the Human Race would become stronger and stronger, and such formidable characters would become more numerous.

The Myriad Clans’ use of the grievances of the Human Race as nourishment had pushed this world to its limits.

The will of this world was already resisting.

The path of the Ancient Demon was not wrong; coexisting with the Human Race was the right path.

But unfortunately, these guys were ungrateful!

Did having a bit of capability really make them think they could contend with the Myriad Clans?

Could they really stand independently between heaven and earth?

Far from it!

The High Priest looked coldly at them. He was well aware of the potential of the Human Race.

The extreme oppression by the Myriad Clans was to prevent them from making a breakthrough.

Therefore, despite the world having existed for so long, the Human Race still lacked its own foundation.

Whether it was this woman or Emperor Siao, they had the power to confront them, but they still fell far short in terms of heritage.

There were many techniques they couldn’t even recognize.

Such as the technique Shenyue used to make the Emperor disappear.

Tianji!

One of the top three secret techniques of Buddha Kingdom, unmasterable unless one is at Buddha’s level. Many know of the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm, where a Buddha can produce a nation’s land and water, millions of creatures, with a single palm!

This is a signature Divine Skill of the great powers in Buddha Kingdom.

But many do not know that the essential prerequisite to the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm is mastering a secret technique called Tianji to its extreme!

Emperor Siao had not disappeared but had been transferred to another world.

This world was fictitious, nonexistent, so there would be no trace of space because it wasn’t a real space but an imagined one. Hence... there could be no trace detected—it was traceless yet brimming with myriad things; this was: Tianji!

"It seems you do not wish to tell me the truth!" The Empress smiled slightly, drawing the treasure sword from her waist, a faint purple flame suddenly ignited, and then everyone felt a bone-chilling coldness.

"Dark Crow?" the High Priest squinted, "So it is... twin siblings?"

"You seem to know a lot, you bug," the Empress said coldly.

The High Priest frowned, his eyes solemn.

He had only heard of Dark Crow; none of his ancestors in his bloodline memories had ever encountered one.

The soul of Golden Crow was extremely proud; throughout the entire records of reincarnation, only three Spatial Sorcerers of Golden Crow had appeared, and they all vanished shortly after they appeared.

It was said to be because they couldn’t keep up with the expectations of Golden Crow, and were directly burned to death, making the reputation of the Golden Crow sorcerers much lesser than that of the Four Saints sorcerers.

And since Dark Crow was female and even prouder by nature, it was difficult for women to stand out in chaotic times. The likelihood that Dark Crow would favor someone was much lower than that of Golden Crow choosing someone; at least he had never heard of Dark Crow choosing any woman.

The fact that this woman had been chosen by Dark Crow likely meant her aptitude... not to say unprecedented, but definitely extraordinary!

But no matter... even the most formidable genius, once dead... is nothing.

These two human youngsters were indeed formidable, but they did not know about Tianji. Their bloodline had no experience of combating Tianji. For anyone experiencing Tianji for the first time, there was no chance of coming out alive!
