Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 14141 Tyrant Divine Guard
"We must move the core array hub to the edge of the empire, with the Nirvana Realm as our hypothetical enemy, and be on full alert."

Let those from the Temple of Annihilation know that our Overlord Empire has an unbreakable defense line, which they cannot violate at will.

Thirdly, the Empress must personally issue an 'edict' to command all reclusive sects and ancient families within the empire with the majesty of imperial power.

These forces have deep roots and many ancient figures who have been in seclusion or have been dormant for a long time.

Each of them possesses extraordinary strength and earth-shattering power.

At this critical moment for the empire, everyone must leave the pass and fight together against the great enemy!

Faced with such a powerful enemy as the Temple of Annihilation, no force can be underestimated. Only by uniting all forces that can be united can we have any hope of victory!

Ji Mingkong listened quietly to Shangguan Yue's statement, her eyes showing no fluctuation, as if everything was under her control.

When Shangguan Yue finished speaking the last word, she didn't hesitate at all and said decisively, "Granted!"

Do as you say, execute it immediately, and there must be no mistakes!
Shangguan Yue's expression was solemn as she glanced at everyone before solemnly saying, "Fourthly, and this is of utmost importance, His Majesty must return immediately!"

The situation is extremely precarious, and every moment is full of uncertainties. Only with His Majesty's return can we have more confidence and a better chance of victory.

Upon hearing this, Lü Ning couldn't help but turn slightly to the side, a hint of doubt on his face, his brows furrowing slightly, and asked, "Why summon him back now?"

To die?
Even if Your Majesty has some talent, in the face of the overwhelming power of this Silent Sanctuary, you are but a firefly, how can you compete with the bright moon?

The Temple of Annihilation is filled with powerful and ruthless individuals. If His Majesty returns, he will likely struggle to protect himself, let alone turn the tide.

Upon hearing Lü Ning's words, Shangguan Yue was not angered. Instead, she slowly turned her gaze to Lü Ning, her eyes calm and unwavering, like a bottomless, icy pool, and asked in return, "Lü Ning, do you really believe that this Emperor... is only this much?"

What you see may only be the surface; His Majesty's potential is far beyond our imagination.

Lu Ning frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, said, "To be honest, apart from possessing a priceless treasure, I don't think His Majesty can be of any use at this time."

Although that treasure is powerful, His Majesty's strength is still weak at present, making it difficult to fully unleash its power.

Faced with such a colossal entity as the Temple of Annihilation, even if His Majesty were to return, it would be nothing more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot, a suicidal act.

Shangguan Yue's lips curled into a very faint smile, a smile that carried a hint of confidence and certainty. She looked directly at Lü Ning, her eyes sharp and insightful, and slowly said, "Lü Ning, have you ever thought that the vast starry sea is boundless and full of geniuses, and unparalleled prodigies are not uncommon?"

They are all exceptionally talented, possess extraordinary strength, and have limitless potential.

But why did this divine object choose His Majesty as its master?

Is it simply a matter of 'luck'?
She gently shook her head, her tone resolute, as if every word carried an undeniable force: "If he obtained this divine object by luck, then the fact that he has survived to this day amidst countless covetous eyes, schemes, and pursuits, and has made it this far... that in itself is the greatest 'extraordinary' feat!"

Throughout his journey, His Majesty has faced countless hardships and life-threatening crises, but he has always managed to turn danger into safety through his wisdom and courage.

His growth, his perseverance, and his strategies far surpass those of ordinary people.

His existence may be the only variable in the battle between the Overlord Empire and the Temple of Annihilation!
In this desperate situation, we cannot give up any hope, and Your Majesty is the light of hope that may lead us to victory!

Upon hearing this, Lü Ning seemed to be frozen in place, falling into a long silence.

She stood there quietly, staring blankly ahead, as if her soul had left her body.

Shangguan Yue's words were like a pebble thrown into a deep pool, stirring up ripples that were hard to quell on the calm surface of her heart.

Those words echoed in her mind like a curse, repeatedly challenging her original understanding.

She slowly turned her gaze to Ji Mingkong, who sat calmly in the main seat with profound eyes.

The Empress sat there, like an unshakeable, towering mountain, exuding an aura of awe.

Beneath the Empress's calm exterior, Lü Ning seemed to sense a hidden power—a control over the situation and a certainty about the future.

And all of this seems to be inextricably linked to a person named Ling Xiao.

Thinking of this, Lü Ning felt a strong curiosity about Ling Xiao once again, and that curiosity grew wildly in her heart like weeds.

At the same time, an indescribable expectation quietly spread in her heart. She didn't know where this expectation came from, nor where it would lead her, but she truly felt its presence.

At this moment, the cold light of the luminous pearl in the main hall shone on the throne carved from black ice as if it were a tangible substance. The cool light made Empress Ji Mingkong's face appear even more serene, like an ice sculpture untouched by worldly affairs.

She sat there quietly, her fingertips unconsciously tapping lightly on the armrest, making a soft, rhythmic "tap, tap" sound that echoed in the silent hall, like the footsteps of time.

Suddenly, her gaze, sharp as a sword, turned to Shangguan Yue, who stood below the steps, and she asked in a clear and authoritative voice, "Your Majesty, where are you now?"

Shangguan Yue paused slightly, as if burned by the Empress's gaze.

She said in a deep voice, "I really don't know. After His Majesty returned to Seven Kings Mountain, he left again and his whereabouts are unknown."

Your subordinates have also sent people to search everywhere, but have never received any definite news about His Majesty.

Ji Mingkong nodded slightly, his face showing no change in expression, and his voice remaining unreadable: "Try to contact him."

The situation is critical, and the Batian Empire is in turmoil. As the ruler of the empire, Your Majesty cannot remain aloof forever.

Shangguan Yue bowed deeply, her posture extremely respectful, and said, "Yes, sir. I will take my leave!"

After saying that, she turned to leave, her steps steady and powerful, each step seemingly stepping on a pivotal point in her destiny.

Immediately, Ji Mingkong's gaze flashed like lightning in the night sky as he commanded into the darkness, "Order the Overlord Guards to proceed to Overlord City immediately!"

Although her voice was not loud, it resounded like thunder in the darkness, filled with unquestionable authority.

Overlord God Guard!

These four words exploded in the hearts of the two elders, Black and White, like a bombshell.

A look of surprise suddenly appeared on their usually calm faces, their eyes filled with shock and confusion.
