Creation of the Universe

At night, Jinning Palace.

Cries of pain came from the queen's bedroom.

Since seeing off Prince Shen Jingming in front of the palace this morning, the queen, who had always been in good health, suddenly felt unbearable abdominal pain, followed by continuous vomiting and sweating all over her body.

Her rosy cheeks quickly shrank, her eye sockets became sunken, and her eyes looked like dried bones. She looked really scary.

"Hurry, hurry, find someone to save me, I'm going to die..."

The queen gasped for breath and told the maid serving by her bed with difficulty that she felt she was going to die soon.

These symptoms continued into the evening.

During this period, King Jinning summoned the best doctor in the city, but he could not find the cause of the disease. Then he simply summoned all the doctors in the city to the palace and asked them to treat the queen one by one, but they were still helpless.

The doctors all said that the queen's symptoms were unprecedented and they really couldn't tell what was wrong.

King Jinning was so angry that he almost killed them all. Fortunately, the Prime Minister came forward to plead for them, thus saving their lives.

However, the queen's condition was not optimistic. Although the pain in her abdomen had not worsened since this morning, it showed no signs of subsiding.

"It was fine originally, how did it become like this? What happened?"

King Jinning was upset and called his close associates to discuss countermeasures, but if even the doctors didn't know how to diagnose and treat this strange disease, they were even less able to explain it.

"The Queen's condition is extremely urgent. We should quickly invite a doctor from a nearby vassal state to come and see her."

"The nearest country, Liang, is at least seven days away. Will the queen be able to hold out by then? Don't you have a better solution?"

King Jinning scolded angrily.

The Prime Minister, who has always been resourceful, was silent at this time, with his brows furrowed as if he was thinking about something.

If so many doctors couldn't figure out what ails the queen, then it was possible that she wasn't ill at all, but had some other cause.

But no one would know that Shen Zhan had put a blood-winged insect into the queen's stomach.

This little bug is greedy by nature and feeds on spiritual energy. If it does not eat for a period of time, it will start to become irritable and rush around in the queen's stomach, gnawing at her internal organs wantonly.

However, if a single blood-winged insect cannot absorb spiritual energy for a long time, it will become relatively weak and the damage it can cause will be limited, and the insect will not kill the queen.

Shen Zhan estimated that this severe abdominal pain would torment the queen repeatedly for a day and a night, and then the blood-winged insects would die down and go into a dormant state. At that time, the queen would naturally feel that her body had returned to normal.

Before leaving, Shen Zhan promised Shen Yunli that he would avenge her, and he did what he said, making the queen realize what it meant to live a life worse than death.

At the same time, in Cangyun Mountain late at night, twenty-three participants in the trial were facing a series of fierce battles.

When Xue Ren was about to attack Shen Zhan, he unexpectedly met Shen Yujin, whose intentions were unclear.

He asked tentatively, "Sixth Miss, why are you here too? I was the first one to meet Shen Zhan. You wouldn't want to snatch him from me, right?"

Shen Yujin replied coldly, "The trial has already begun. I can do whatever I want, but Shen Zhan is too weak. I won't feel any sense of accomplishment if I defeat him."

"Of course. Since you are not interested, please step aside to avoid being accidentally injured by my sword energy."

Xue Ren proudly raised his sword and waved it in front of Shen Yujin. Since he obtained the sixth-level Dao rules, he believed that his swordsmanship had greatly improved, and he would surely achieve great success in the future.

And this trial is his perfect opportunity to make a splash.

Shen Yujin glanced at him sideways and said in a cold tone, "You have just obtained the sixth-level Dao principle, so it's best not to get carried away."

"Sixth Miss is right."

Although he behaved quite politely, Xue Ren was not convinced by Shen Yujin. It was simply because of her status as a princess that he did not want to cause any more trouble.

Shen Yujin's status in the Jinning Palace was not prominent. Compared with her brothers and sisters, she seemed very mediocre.

If it weren't for the fact that Shen Zhan was such an outstanding loser in his incompetence, she might have been the unpopular person.

At this time, Xue Ren was anxious to attack Shen Zhan, but Shen Yujin just stood there without moving.

He said anxiously, "Sixth Miss, please move aside."

Shen Zhan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was the first to notice that sparks suddenly flashed at the fingertips of Shen Yujin's right hand. It was a powerful spiritual power.

Just by looking at the intensity of the spiritual power condensed in this instant, it can be seen that Shen Yujin is not that simple. Perhaps she has always been low-key and therefore has been ignored.

Xue Ren was not as sharp as Shen Zhan, and he was standing within five steps of Shen Yujin, so the latter's sudden attack caught him off guard.

In an instant, the red flame swung out from Shen Yujin's hand, like a spirit snake, coiled towards him. At such a close distance, he didn't even have a chance to react.

"Xue Ren, since you think you are gifted, why do you only target the weak? Don't you think this is despicable?"

Shen Yujin said.

Before he finished speaking, the red flames first wrapped around Xue Ren's right hand holding the knife, and then continued to wrap around his torso and directly to his neck.

Xue ** was horrified. He wanted to cut off the red flame with a knife, but found that his right hand could not move at all. At this critical moment, he concentrated all his strength and released the spiritual power in his body at the same time. The powerful force that followed only helped him to push back the red flame a little.

His situation was still dangerous, because the red flame in Shen Yujin's hand was tightening rapidly, like a python, wrapping around him tightly until his bones were broken and he died.

Shen Zhan, who was witnessing this scene on the other side, was surprised to find that Shen Yujin's cultivation had actually reached the martial arts realm a long time ago, and no one would have thought that she could reach this level before.

"Xue Ren, you and I are both at the sixth level of Dao, but I started a year earlier than you. So even if we have the same Dao, you can never be my opponent. Now I want you to experience the level of cultivation aptitude of the sixth level of Dao and what level you can reach after a year of hard training."

After Shen Yujin finished speaking, the strength in her hands increased a bit. It was obvious that a stream of spiritual power was surging out of her body and continuously converging on the red flames.

Xue Ren tried his best but still couldn't break free from Shen Yujin's control. He gradually felt desperate. The unremarkable woman in front of him was becoming the murderer who wanted to kill him.
