"Your Majesty, be careful!"
The Ninth Spirit Emperor subconsciously protected the Qin Emperor, and the Earth Traveling Sage and the Sand Wukong also looked vigilantly at the Demon Emperor Yi.
The current state of Demon Emperor Yi indeed gave a sense of extreme danger.
The Empress looked expectantly at Demon Emperor Yi, as did the others. The reputation of the Demon Emperor was so great that if he were to turn against the Qin Emperor, his death would be certain!
Suddenly, Demon Emperor Yi's tightly furrowed brow relaxed, and a sinister smile appeared on his handsome face, directed at the Empress. Seeing this, the Empress was filled with anger, thinking that Demon Emperor Yi had changed his mind.
"If I help you kill him, what will you do?" Demon Emperor Yi stared at the Empress and asked with a smile. This statement moved everyone present.
The Earth Traveling Sage cursed, "Old Yi, you are being disloyal!"
Demon Emperor Yi did not get angry at this, but instead looked at the Empress with a smile, waiting for her response.
The Qin Emperor waved his hand and said with a smile, "He would never betray me!"
The Qin Emperor's confident tone deepened the smile on Demon Emperor Yi's face, and it puzzled the Ninth Spirit Emperor and the other deities and demons. Why did the Qin Emperor trust Demon Emperor Yi so much?
Seeing the Qin Emperor's confident smile, the Empress became furious and immediately shouted, "As long as you kill him, I will agree to anything!"
"Anything?" Demon Emperor Yi's tone became even more sinister, and his smile became more chilling. But the Empress did not notice this; instead, she became more excited and pointed at the Qin Emperor, saying, "Yes, as long as you kill him, I am even willing to marry you!"
The entire court was in an uproar. The Empress was actually willing to marry someone else, even though it was the former Demon Emperor. This news would not reflect well on the Holy Emperor.
Looking at the Holy Emperor, he actually showed a look of surprise. Driven by the strong desire to survive, he did not care about his dignity.
He knew that Demon Emperor Yi was the most powerful person under the Qin Emperor. If he could get his help, the Qin Emperor would undoubtedly die.
"Marry me?" Demon Emperor Yi's smile disappeared from his face, and he muttered to himself.
The next moment, his eyes became extremely cold, and in a flash, he appeared in front of the Empress. His demonic energy transformed into a blade, piercing through the Empress's chest, and blood gushed out. The smile on the Empress's face froze completely.
She stared wide-eyed, her eyes filled with bloodshot veins, showing an expression of disbelief.
"Why... why..." the Empress trembled as she looked at Demon Emperor Yi with a trembling voice. In a daze, she seemed to see the scene of Demon Emperor Yi leaving her coldly and indifferent to her pleas in the past.
He was still the proud and unyielding man.
"For revenge, you married my most trusted subordinate, and now, to kill the enemy, you want to marry me. You don't love me; you only love power," Demon Emperor Yi said coldly. After being suppressed for thousands of years, he could not remember many things from the past clearly, but he remembered his feelings for this woman. Although he felt some guilt, it was definitely not love.
No one could threaten him, especially since he had already sworn to serve the Qin Emperor.
"In the next life, be more innocent," Demon Emperor Yi said softly to the Empress. The demonic energy in his right hand suddenly surged, enveloping the Empress like black flames. In the blink of an eye, the demonic energy dissipated, and the Empress disappeared without a trace.
This scene left everyone stunned.
It was truly a turn of events that left their minds unable to comprehend.
The Qin Emperor burst into loud laughter. Who else dared to stop him from ascending to the position of the Holy Emperor now?
"Mother!"
The Holy Emperor called out in despair and anger. Just as he was about to struggle, the Ninth Spirit Emperor struck him with a chop to the back of his neck, causing him to faint instantly.
"It's over... it seems that we really can't stop the Qin Emperor..."
"Never mind, following the Qin Emperor is not bad. Based on my private understanding, the people of the Great Qin Kingdom and the Peaceful Heavenly Realm are living well. The policies provided by the Qin Emperor are not only lenient but also very accommodating."
"Yes, I heard that the Great Qin Kingdom is establishing a cultivation academy to provide free education to young geniuses without relying on connections."
"Until now, no one knows who is behind the Qin Emperor. Are you all sure that he has no hidden agenda?"
The officials and generals of the Holy Dynasty were discussing, and the majority of them had already compromised.
Seeing this, the Qin Emperor flew directly to the peak of the Holy Palace, with the Ninth Spirit Emperor and others following closely behind.
The Holy Princess stood still, the Holy Empress was dead, and the Holy Emperor was captured, yet the Qin Emperor completely ignored her. She didn't know whether to feel relieved or sorrowful.
In the end, the Holy Princess sighed and flew away, thinking that it was better to be alive than dead.
But before leaving, she made sure to take her children with her.
...
The news of the capture of the Holy Emperor and the death of the Holy Empress spread like wildfire throughout the entire Southern Domain Celestial World.
All the flying islands received the news and initially thought it was impossible!
The Holy Emperor had stood for thousands of years; how could he fall so quickly? Even if the other party was a recent rising figure, it was still impossible!
Later, when they learned that the Demon Emperor from ten thousand years ago had reappeared and assisted the Qin Emperor, they found it even more absurd.
Wasn't this just a joke?
However, as the news spread with detailed accounts, they gradually began to believe it.
On the other hand, the Qin Emperor was cultivating in the Holy Palace. The palace was magnificent, with the ground paved with white crystal stones, and the palace space was extremely large, reaching tens of meters high, with pillars that required seven people to encircle. It looked like a high platform made of ice jade. The Qin Emperor was meditating, trying to comprehend the Dao of Earth Immortality.
Three days had passed since the Purple Han Marquis was killed, and the Qin Emperor had already ordered Liu Bowen, Nezha, and others to quickly come to the Southern Domain Celestial World.
At this moment, he held something like a stone in his hand, the size of an eyeball, with countless inscrutable patterns carved on its surface.
This was the Bodhi Enlightenment, which he had obtained as a random reward after killing Sun Lin the last time.
Wu Bodhi is worth six million in the mythological mall and can help the user quickly enter the state of enlightenment.
At this moment, Qin Jun is comprehending the Dao of the Earth Immortal.
According to Master Yi, breaking through the realm of the Earth Immortal requires a period of seclusion. In the first few ****, one needs to recall their past experiences and comprehend their own path.
Master Yi and Sha Wujing are also preparing some precious materials to help Qin Jun break through the realm of the Earth Immortal in the most perfect state.
Qin Jun began to recall his memories from his awakening of past lives, summoning Daji, escaping from captivity, and killing the Golden Core realm cultivator Xiahou En, and so on. A series of events played back in his mind like a movie, while his spiritual power overflowed from his pores and poured into the Wu Bodhi in his hand. With a buzzing sound, the Wu Bodhi suddenly emitted a white light, exuding a sacred and solemn aura.
In less than a year, the events that had taken place seemed to recall a lifetime of experiences.
The despair in the face of danger, the indignation in the face of a counterattack, and the pride in times of glory, all those emotions from that time surged into Qin Jun's mind again, causing his expression to change constantly.
"What is my path..."
"What am I pursuing..."
Qin Jun murmured with his eyes closed, recalling and questioning himself about these two questions.
