Peerless Empress: One Woman, One Sword, Slaying Through Myriad Realms

"What a terrible picture, so powerful..." Duan Mo cursed, then suggested, "Why don't we hurry up and have Master tear it up for him?"

"You think you can notify the Sword Emperor after entering the Nine Li Map? Hand over your movement techniques and the key obediently, and I might spare your lives." Mu Qi stared at a spot on the scroll in his hand and spoke coldly, as if he could see through Ye Wuxi and the other three's every move.

"How can I hand us over to you if you don't let us out?" Ye Wuxi said calmly while observing the surrounding space.

"I can release the Duan family first. If the secret technique and the key are not problematic, I will release you all," Mu Qi's voice rang out again.

Duan Mo seems to be the weakest, so even if we let him out, we wouldn't dare to play any tricks. But if we let Ye Wuxi, Nan Nian, or the puppets out, it's hard to say what might happen.

"You surnamed Mu, who do you look down on..." Duan Mo was speechless.

"Five breaths, or die." Mu Qi ignored his words and spoke coldly.

No matter how powerful the Sword Emperor is, he can't fight against so many opponents. The disciples of the Wine Academy have made too many enemies. Even if he kills these three, he only needs a small advantage, and many others will join forces against the Sword Emperor.

Ye Wuxi's eyes flickered slightly. This Mu Qi was more courageous and powerful than those imperial lineages. No wonder the Mu family would hand over the Melting Sun Diagram to him. However, even if he handed it over, the feud was already formed, and Mu Qi might not really let them go.

"Stubborn fools." Seeing that the three did not react, Mu Qi sneered. With a thought, a terrifying golden flame storm rushed towards Ye Wuxi and the other three, intending to refine them.

"Get out of my way." Xuan Yi said coldly, his body radiating a terrifying earth-colored light that enveloped Ye Wuxi and the other two in a defensive light barrier.

His burly body moved with incredible agility around Ye Wuxi and the other two, constantly extinguishing the golden flames with a wave of his palm.

With Xuan Yi protecting him, Ye Wuxi simply sat cross-legged on the spot, took out two Fire Tongue Fruits, and smiled at Nan Nian and Duan Mo, "Let's cultivate first. I also want to thank Young Master Mu for preparing this treasure land for us. This Golden Flame is quite a good thing."

Even if Mu Qi is the biological son of the head of the Mu family, it is impossible for him to directly hand over such a treasure as the Melting Sun Diagram to him so that he can recognize it as his master and gain complete control. At most, he can have more right to use it, but the power he can exert is limited.

The Xuanhuang Thick Essence within the Xuan Body is a top-grade earth-element material. The defensive shield formed by this power cannot be broken in a short time. Even Mu Qi's strength was a bit of a challenge in refining the three of them.

“Xi’er is right. I’ve remembered Young Master Mu’s good deed today,” Nan Nian said with a smile.

Their cultivation levels are all at their peak. If they can cross the threshold, their strength will increase significantly, and they might be able to find a way to break through the map.

"Thank you, Mr. Mu." Duan Mo shrugged and sat down cross-legged with Nan Nian, closing his eyes to cultivate.

"Thinking you can be worry-free with just a puppet? How naive! Let's see how long you can hold out." Mu Qi's face darkened with anger. Instantly, the patterns on the Nine Li Diagram shone even brighter, transforming into powerful golden flames that frantically attacked, as if trying to refine the entire space.

Xuan Yi's power seemed inexhaustible, continuing to move around the three of them and dissipate their attacks.

At this moment, two figures in white robes also arrived at the tomb of Emperor Dongyang. They soared through the air, exuding a terrifying aura of Buddha and demon. The two did not linger in the tomb and headed straight for the exit.

Inside the Molten Sun Diagram, the terrifying bombardment finally stopped after an hour. Mu Qi's face was ashen. Xuan Yi's defense was too terrifying, its energy seemed inexhaustible, but he could not launch attacks without stopping.

"They can't escape once they're inside the map. I have plenty of patience to wear you down." Mu Qi snorted coldly, temporarily putting away the Nine Li Map, and led several Martial Kings at the ninth level to search the surrounding palaces.

Every two hours, Mu Qi would launch a fierce attack, determined to refine the group into something else.

On the third day, Xuan Yi's body showed signs of charring, and his movements gradually became slower.

Ye Wuxi was surrounded by a terrifying aura, but they were completely unaffected by the defensive barrier.

Soon, she finally refined all the medicinal power of the two Fire Tongue Fruits, and her cultivation level stabilized at the peak of the early stage of the sixth level of Martial King.

The spiritual herbs and top-grade spirit stones surrounding Nan Nian and Duan Mo were also rapidly reduced to dust, and their aura continued to rise.

"Still want to break through? Go to hell." When Mu Qi took out the diagram again, his face darkened as he looked at Ye Wuxi, who had already broken through, and Nan Nian and Duan Mo, who were about to break through.

In an instant, all the patterns within the diagram became more frenzied than ever before, transforming into a powerful force that relentlessly surged towards the four people. The entire space ignited with raging golden flames, as if capable of incinerating everything.

"The power of ten thousand swords will never be extinguished." Ye Wuxi suddenly opened his eyes, took a step forward to protect the two of them, and with the movement of the Xuanji Sword, the killing aura spread wildly and lingered for a long time. Ten thousand killing swords instantly broke through the golden flames, trying to destroy the surrounding spatial patterns.

"Kill!" At this moment, Nan Nian also exuded a breakthrough aura. He immediately stepped back and a terrifying Sanskrit chant rushed out, instantly transforming into eighty-one golden-winged birds with long cries, frantically bombarding various places, trying to tear everything to shreds.

A violent storm erupted within the Nine Li Diagram, throwing everything into chaos. Mu Qi's face turned deathly pale, as if the will of death had surged into his consciousness, undying and unyielding, while a sacred chant sought to purify him.

The two attacks were too sharp, constantly bombarding his divine sense imprint through the patterns, and he could barely suppress them.

"Kill!" Duan Mo quickly broke through to the sixth level. He stepped to the left and shouted coldly. Countless light swords surged and swept across the area at extreme speed.

After receiving Ye Wuxi's order, Xuan Yi also continuously unleashed palm strikes, piercing through the space to the right.

The four each occupied a position, while terrifying attacks continued to pierce through every corner.

"Let's see how long you can last." Ye Wuxi sneered, his immortal will empowering him, and the myriad killing swords, indestructible and unbreakable, charged wildly.

"Damn it!" Outside, Mu Qi spat out a mouthful of blood. The Nine Li Diagram in his hand flew uncontrollably in mid-air, spreading wildly and emitting a terrifying aura, as if several forces were vying for it.

Furthermore, a terrifying sword intent faintly emanated from the scroll, lingering for a long time.

Even divine weapons have their limits. The Nine Li Diagram can trap all divine weapons, but it ultimately cannot refine a living person whose strength is not much weaker than its own.

Those searching the palace looked up at the strange and terrifying scroll in the sky, filled with confusion.

"I heard that Young Master Mu has taken away the three disciples of the wine shop, but it seems he hasn't been able to refine them yet."

"Could the disciples of the tavern really break free from the Nine Li Diagram?" The crowd couldn't help but wonder. They had all recently witnessed the terrifying power of the Nine Li Diagram. Mu Qi had used it to be extremely domineering, taking everything he could get his hands on.

“It’s a self-contained space, but there’s always a gap. I refuse to believe it.” A demonic sword appeared in Ye Wuxi’s hand, and power was poured into it, stirring up boundless killing intent.

Although it is a broken sword, the Demon Sword still possesses a remnant spirit, and the will it contains is far stronger than that of the Xuanji Sword.

"Kill!" The two broken swords exuded a terrifying killing aura, and with the blessing of immortal profound meaning, they pierced through everything, stirring up a terrifying storm of slaughter, and were filled with boundless bloodthirsty will, wanting to break everything apart.
