"Not right..." the Empress suddenly shook her head.

"What’s not right?" the High Priest said ominously, looking at this dangerous woman.

"Your words are not right!" The Empress unfurrowed her brows, her lips curling up as she looked at the other party, "I remember... for such demons like you, for the so-called bloodline memory to be passed on, one must survive that instance, right?"

The High Priest: "..."

"You have said it yourself, none from the Ancient Demon Clan have succeeded in devouring Buddha.

So why do you know so much about the secret technique of Myriad Creations?

" The Empress chuckled softly, "If, as you claimed, everyone who was trapped by the Myriad Creations perished, then how was the Ancient Demon Clan able to pass down the bloodline memory? "

"So... someone from the Ancient Demon Clan survived, within the Myriad Creations?"

Upon hearing this, the High Priest fell silent for a while, then sneered coldly. This woman’s mind was indeed quick, but he still scornfully said, "Just because our ancestor survived doesn’t mean that boy will."

"He will!" The Empress spoke with conviction.

"You seem quite confident in him," the High Priest squinted his eyes.

"He is my brother; of course I am confident in him."

"Is that so?"

For some reason, at this moment, her confidence also started to shake him.

He had originally planned to stall for time, waiting for that Siao Family lad to die within the Shenyue’s Myriad Creations.

Then, he would join forces with Shenyue to completely devour the external forces, eliminating these ambitious members of the Human Race in their infancy.

Afterward, even if he couldn’t swallow everything, he would at least take two inheritors of the Four Saints with him!

If things went smoothly, he would temporarily share dominance over the world with the guilds of the Northern Territory.

The Destiny of the Royal Capital was a must-fight-for place, and the resources of Jiangnan could not be missed.

As long as the leaders of both forces fell here, there would always be a chance to swallow them up.

But what if... that Siao Family boy won?

Truth be told, ever since Shenyue successfully dragged the Emperor into the Myriad Creations Space, he had completely dismissed the possibility that the boy would come out alive, solely focusing on how to control the outside, minimize losses, and wait for Shenyue to emerge, directing the hatred towards her, and acting on opportunity.

But what if the one who came out was the Siao Family boy?

An incredible unease welled up in his heart. Such a possibility seemed like a fantasy to him, but at this moment, the woman’s confidence inexplicably caused a tremor in his heart.

If that were the case... he would have to consider the retreat route for Yundu.

Just as he was contemplating, suddenly there was a loud bang, as if something had burst open somewhere.

The noise was loud, but what was strange is that there was no sign of destruction around. Yet, everyone could feel a power raging against something.

The Empress sharply turned towards a certain place, a smile spreading across her face.

She knew it; that boy wouldn’t get into trouble so easily!

-----------------------------------

"This boy...."

At this moment, Shenyue was in utter disarray!

Yes, disarray. She, who had been dominating all along, was now on the brink of life and death.

She had not anticipated that, at such a moment of despair, the opponent would make such a choice without any hesitation...

Before she had time to think, a brutal force swept over.

Just the mere approach caused the surrounding space to shatter in waves, completely disrupting her method of drawing in Spiritual Energy.

All elements, before she could even transform them, were utterly destroyed, including the Spiritual Energy itself! !

It may sound exaggerated, but this was the reality. It was the first time she witnessed the power that could be displayed by the Golden Crow Flame after reaching King Level.

Yes, King Level!

The Siao Family’s youngster, after appraising the situation, had not hesitated to break through to King Level...

Such decisiveness had caught her completely off guard!

From the very beginning, she knew that like Chen Qing, he was someone who could break through to King Level at any moment, but that was a last resort, which, if deployed, was almost a case of mutual destruction.

The reason was simple: within the Imperial Palace, there was no top-tier Spiritual Energy site, and lifeforms at King Level simply could not survive normally—breaking through to King Level meant that if one couldn’t find a Spiritual Energy site within a single breath, they would be forcibly driven to their death.

At this moment, breaking through to King Level, he had only a single breath of time. Beyond that, he would have no chance of turning the tables.

He hadn’t been pushed to his limit yet, nor had he reached the brink of despair, but after assessing the situation, he still chose to play his final card without any hesitation.

Frankly, this level of decisiveness was somewhat exaggerated, catching Shenyue off guard!

With the characteristics of the all-encompassing, she could here slowly unleash King Level Power and then rely on her body to slowly adapt, voraciously absorbing Spiritual Energy from the elements to sift and barely maintain bodily functions.

Therefore, earlier on, it was visible that her power was growing stronger and her speed faster, leaving the Emperor severely suppressed and in a sorry state.

In fact, releasing King Level Power was just a bluff.

She was demonstrating the destructive power that this world would ultimately unleash.

If she could succeed in stalling for time until the Laws here were fully developed, even a King Level being in her presence would be no more than a lamb to the slaughter.

It was also for this reason that she wasn’t afraid of the Emperor’s last-ditch efforts. By the time he decided to fight desperately, there really wouldn’t be an opportunity for him anymore.

But what she hadn’t expected was that this fellow would choose to overturn the table ahead of time!

This was troublesome...

Although there was only a single breath of time, the difference between King Level and non-King Level power was like heaven and earth, and more crucially, the attribute of the other party’s power.

Destruction... was a characteristic of the Golden Crow Flame. Under King Level Power, the opponent could completely obliterate elements of current standards and evaporate Spiritual Energy. This led to a consequence: she couldn’t refine Spiritual Energy by delicately controlling the world.

Half of her body had already unlocked, though she hadn’t fully released King Level Power; ordinary levels of Spiritual Energy could no longer sustain her, and she had to refine a large amount of Spiritual Energy to maintain her current bodily functions.

But the other party had overturned the table, completely depriving her of this chance!

"Damn it..."

Shenyue kept retreating to increase the distance, but would the Emperor, who had only a single breath left, let her have her way?

He was in full throttle, hot on her heels, the scorching heat always dangerously close, making Shenyue’s scalp tingle with the feeling that with just a slight lapse in attention, she would be utterly dissolved.

The man was adamant not just in his pursuit but also in destroying everything around them, preventing her from refining Spiritual Energy. She was clear on his intentions; he was forcing her to break through to King Level too!

To fully break through to King Level now, without prior accumulation and without full control over the surrounding world, breaking through at this moment would bring both parties back to the same starting line...

"Afraid to fight to the death?" the Emperor’s icy voice penetrated her mind, full of mockery.

Shenyue’s pupils contracted, suddenly becoming icy cold!

This guy had indeed planned well. After breaking through to King Level, the power of the Golden Crow Flame surged, allowing him to completely destroy the surrounding structure, leaving her no chance to refine Spiritual Energy.

If this continued, in a situation where she couldn’t breathe, her single breath would definitely not last as long as the already King Level opponent.

She would be the one to fall behind in stamina first, and even if she continued to dodge, she would eventually be caught.

"You’re seeking death!"

Since the establishment of the Shenwu Guild, she could not recall anyone ever putting her in such a position, especially such a contemptible insect!

If he wished for a direct confrontation, then she would let him witness...

Shenyue’s eyes suddenly turned pitch-black, an indescribably terrifying chill rapidly spreading, even making the surrounding extreme heat around the Emperor diminish significantly.

In the next instant, the entire world shattered with a roar!!

"You want to pit king against king... then come!"
