Chapter 362: Chapter 362

362: Chapter 350: From All Heavens to Mortal World 362: Chapter 350: From All Heavens to Mortal World The ancient pathways by the city tower became clearer, and the riverbank stream likewise brightened.

Countless life forms, under this heavenly light, subconsciously surrendered, and knelt down.

There was no sound of the city breaking.

Because this was a pure battle between an Immortal and a corpse demon.

Just as Si Li’s dazzling spear techniques fell upon Immortal City without harming a single corner or high-rise building.

Within this radiance of heavenly light, sword movements descended upon the city, yet bore no intent of slaughter and destruction.

Because the tribulation of death brought by this sword fell entirely upon Si Li alone.

That Divine Sword, worshipped by myriad laws in a faraway divine temple, was borrowed into the Mortal World.

Si Li lowered her arms, and that fleeting helplessness transformed into endless indifference; she lowered her head and expressionlessly stared at the golden Ancient Sword piercing through her chest.

In that brilliant glow, she could not see the patterns etched upon the sword.

She could only witness the freezing, crimson liquid gushing unceasingly from the massive wound the All Heavens Divine Sword had torn in her chest.

The All Heavens Sword continued to burn, expelling the golden brilliance of sword fire along with the blood, and emitting an indifferent and profound sanctity.

This sanctity was enough to drive all the evil demons of the world to despair.

The All Heavens Sword, born since ancient times, sprung from the Divine Temple.

Even the common lord of All Heavens, Immortal Venerable Zhu Zhan, could not extract this sword from the divine temple; it only awaited the emergence of a destined Sword Master.

Hence, the birth of the Xijian Sect, and Sword Master Yu was the chosen master of the All Heavens Sword awaited by all.

Sword Master Yu, who had just succeeded the thousand-year-old Immortals, was a supreme being in the Mortal World, but only Venerable Immortals had the qualifications to enter the divine temple.

Now, before Sword Master Yu came to claim it, the All Heavens Sword had already come to the Mortal World.

Above the Wei River in the city, a flat boat floated by.

Atop the boat, a slender figure in jade-green could be vaguely seen.

At this moment, the dense mists over the river perfectly obscured the figure within, making it impossible for anyone to discern clearly.

But all the Cultivators in the city knew clearly.

The Empress had arrived.

The rippling light reflected through the misty haze.

A gentle breeze stirred the water’s surface, and the woman’s green gown fluttered softly, billowing slowly and magically like clouds.

The Emperor atop the city walls slowly stood erect, pressing down upon his sword while watching the flat boat.

His expression was so composed that no emotion could be gleaned, yet from his sword-pressing stance, it was apparent that at this moment, the Emperor was much relieved.

Relief speaks of peace found in reliance.

He nodded slightly, and in a soft voice, he said, “You’ve come.”

The fog on the river’s surface shimmered with dots of golden Sword Intent.

Naturally, that golden Ancient Sword was wielded by her.

Upon the boat, there was a majesty and purity that no mist could obscure, like fresh snow on the frigid mountains of deep winter.

The landscapes of the Mortal World lay within the folds of her gown.

In the blur, people scarcely saw the dignified and unparalleled woman raise her hand and sweep her sleeve, as the divine light that filled Xianling City touched with Divine Intent, seeping into the dauntingly fractured walls beneath the Emperor’s feet.

The walls, once in peril, were restored to their original state.

The celestial light remained, and so did the darkness.

The battle was not yet over, but because of the woman’s arrival, Xianling City fell into a momentary serenity.

The Emperor and Empress seldom reveal themselves together before the public.

Even in that distant Heavenly Gate world, this couple was even rarer to appear together in public occasions.

Today, to witness both the Empress and Emperor’s divine presence within Xianling City, the people felt as if they were drinking Jadescent Nectar, deeply honored and moved.

But more than that, they were shocked and relaxed.

At this moment, their feelings were surprisingly seventy percent similar to that of the Emperor Chenghuang.

The corpse demon of the Royal Family, who had displayed such terrifying power as to overwhelm even the Heavenly God, caused heaven and earth to tremble.

Yet, such a powerful Dark Lord was decided by a single stroke of the Empress’s sword.

What was more frightening was that not even the Emperor had seen clearly how she had drawn her sword to subdue the demon.

Although they were not at that level, how could they not recognize that the single stroke nearly sent Si Li into the brink of death?

Could it be that the difference between this envied couple of the Six Realms and Four Seas was really so vast?

Or could it be said, the Emperor without his Divine Element, truly was in an embarrassingly weak state?

“I came to see,” said the Empress, her voice cold as jade yet pleasing to the ear, “when this farce would end.”

The Emperor looked down at the bloodstains on the blue stone ground, frowning, “You call this a farce.”

Si Li coughed softly, a trickle of bright blood escaping from between her lips.

She wiped it with her sleeve, her eyes still the color of the deep night, tinged with a touch of disdain.

The Empress’s voice was light, as insouciant as water, carrying a hint of casual laziness and nobility.

She first praised him earnestly, “Your Majesty has truly put some effort into this, after all, the young and lonely king who has occupied Your Majesty’s concern for so many years has today personally arrived in Xianling City.”

Her conversation then took a sharp turn, her tone now carrying a hint of admonishment as she looked towards Si Li, “But this little girl, have you had enough fun?”

Everyone gasped with shock!

Did the Empress just describe this as playing around?

Could it be that this corpse demon Princess’s struggle against the Emperor had not yet shown her true strength?

Naturally, the Emperor’s dignity was hard to maintain, and he spoke gravely, “Careful with your words, Mountain Monarch!”

The Empress sighed softly, “Shouldn’t Your Majesty first return to the inner hall to recuperate?”

The faces of the people in the city twisted awkwardly.

Why was the Empress immediately prompting her own husband to leave the scene upon her arrival?

While that one sword had indeed severely injured the corpse demon Princess, the Demon Clan’s methods were invariably endless and devious.

Not to mention such a rare King-level corpse demon, who at the brink of death could perform an act of horrifying consequence.

If the Emperor and Empress stood together against her, there would surely be full assurance of squelching her completely.

The Emperor’s gaze darkened for a moment, then he said, “The All Heavens Sword is indeed powerful, but remember, even the twelve Golden Crows of Junior Brother Ya were unable to incinerate this demon; it shows her demonic bones are stubborn.

It would be more prudent for us both to jointly suppress and capture her.”

The Empress was silent for a moment before bluntly addressing what was in his heart, “Is Your Majesty worried that my single sword stroke would scatter her soul and disperse her spirit?”

The Cultivators around were thoroughly confused, failing to grasp the intent of the Empress’s words.

Since when did the Mighty Emperor care for the life and death of a demon?

As for the Emperor Chenghuang, his face was slightly pale, his hand pressing upon the sword with tendons standing out in tension.

Before he could speak, the Empress’s voice rose again, maintaining that distant and cool laziness.

“Be at ease, her Corpse Pearl is not within her body; even if she stands there and lets me strike her a thousand or a hundred swords, she won’t dissipate just like that.”

The people’s emotions once again turned to heavy shock.

The Corpse Pearl was the fundamental essence of the corpse demon’s Qi Gathering, losing it was akin to amputating one’s own limbs.

And yet, the power Si Li demonstrated being able to overpower him was shown even after losing her Corpse Pearl!

If she were to regain the Corpse Pearl, what terrifying level her Realm Cultivation would reach.

The Emperor’s expression visibly soured, yet after all, he said no more and his true self disappeared within the celestial light.

Si Li listened patiently to this couple’s conversation, and she was in no hurry to pull out the Ancient Sword from her chest.

Or perhaps, she simply did not have the capability to pull out this sword.

She maintained her composure, allowing her blood to spurt forth like money with no value, staining her blood robe and battle boots red, and with a carefree laugh said, “A wise decision indeed.

Your worthless husband would be of no use on the battlefield.

In fact, he’s quite an eyesore.”
