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

"The inside has been basically ransacked. Let's go out together," Xu Jing said with a faint smile.

Ye Wuxi nodded. Half-Saint Source Stones are rare to begin with, and it's not bad to get one from the first ruin. There will be plenty of opportunities later.

As everyone stepped into the Blood Abyss, the various small units from Tianxu also rushed out to join them. Before they could explore other abysses, a beam of light suddenly pierced the sky.

"The Tianxiao Ruins have opened. No wonder we haven't seen Lu Zhiyuan. Whether you're heading straight for the Second Ruins or raiding this place, it's up to you," Xu Jing said to the group.

"Here comes Tianxiao, senior brothers and sisters, I'll go ahead first," Ye Wuxi said, looking into the distance.

The Heavenly Sky Sword is more worthy of her exploration than the Heavenly Nether Ruins.

She hasn't received a powerful swordsmanship inheritance for a long time, so even if she tries to deduce it herself, she still needs some reference.

“That works too. Tianxiao and we are relatively close, and Lu Zhiyuan’s character is acceptable… We can join forces if necessary,” Xu Jing said thoughtfully.

Ye Wuxi and Chu Jiangli were proficient in spatial power, and the two of them traveled at full speed, which was faster than following the main group.

"Will Ning'er come with us?"

“Okay.” Shen Yun Ning nodded. She was also a sword cultivator, so it would be better for her to go to Tianxiao first.

Ye Wuxi immediately inscribed a spatial teleportation array to enhance the effect, and the three of them vanished into the void in the blink of an eye.

Baili Che and Ruan Hua watched the three disappear in the blink of an eye, a hint of envy in their eyes. They also wanted to rush to the second ruin, but they didn't have the speed and the courage to act alone.

Compared to the Tianyou Ruins, the Tianxiao Ruins have less of a yin aura and more of an unyielding sword aura.

"Second Senior Brother transmitted his voice saying they went directly to open the Great Luo Ruins, so we need to speed up our search." The three of them came out of the entrance space of the Heavenly Cloud Ruins. There weren't many people around, and Ye Wuxi said after scanning the area.

Opening one's own ruins first always gives one a head start, and the power sought will be more compatible.

Only Tianyou, which served as the entrance to the battlefield, was unlucky. Everyone entered at the same time, and they lost the initiative and suffered considerable losses.

As for the Tianxu Ruins being the last one, there's no rush. There's nothing we can do about it anyway; we can only wait for the seven ruins to open one by one.

Suddenly, a terrifying giant furnace rose from the horizon, followed by a towering golden sword that crashed down with dazzling light.

“It’s the Extinction of Evil and the Sky Sun Furnace.” The three of them were drawn to it, and Chu Jiangli said in a deep voice.

"The two top-ranked experts are there, there must be something good. Let's go take a look." Ye Wuxi made the decision immediately, and the three of them changed direction and headed towards the two semi-sacred artifacts.

As the three approached, a soul bell rang throughout the heavens and earth. In mid-air, Mu He, Yan He, and Lu Zhiyuan stood in a tripartite balance, or it could be said that Tian You and Tian Chi temporarily formed an alliance.

Below them was an underground tomb, the gray-black entrance structure that appeared above ground resembled a broken double-ringed greatsword.

Ye Wuxi and the other two stopped and disappeared into the distant void, observing the situation.

The disciples from the three palaces who arrived first were gathered outside, clearly still deciding on the ownership of this extraordinary sword tomb.

"Changyi, you go first." As soon as Lu Zhiyuan finished speaking, the Demon Extermination Sword burst open the entrance, and Li Changyi and the other Tianxiao disciples immediately stepped into the sword.

"You can't stop us from entering. Go in." Mu He glanced at Lu Zhiyuan and said to the disciples of Tianyou Holy Palace.

She was also a sword cultivator, and instead of lingering in her own ruins, she kept an eye on Lu Zhiyuan's movements.

The Qiong Ri Furnace and the Thousand Silk Bell pressed down on the entrance to destroy evil. Lu Zhiyuan glanced coldly at Yan He and said, "Let her fight it out. Why are you getting involved?"

"Of course, I'm giving my junior sisters and brothers a chance. Qingcheng, you can all go in now," Yan He said with a smile as he looked at Ling Qingcheng.

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Ling Qingcheng smiled beautifully and took the lead, followed closely by Liu Yuebai, whose sword aura remained undiminished.

"Let's go too." The disciples of the two palaces filed in, and Ye Wuxi immediately spoke up. The three of them suddenly appeared in the entrance space, intending to blend in with the small group.

"You three, stop right there!" Mu He suddenly shouted coldly, noticing Ye Wuxi and the other two. The Thousand Silk Bell trembled and pressed down, devouring their souls.

She didn't bring the main force of Tianyou, but she still received a message that Yunyi Qingli and Qiuhan seemed to have been killed by Ye Wuxi and the others.

These were her junior sisters whom the palace had instructed her to take special care of, and they died as soon as they entered. If she didn't kill Ye Wuxi and the others, she wouldn't be able to explain herself when she left.

"Your eyesight is pretty good." Ye Wuxi froze, cursing under her breath. Just as she was about to release the great demon, the Soul-Capturing Bell was knocked away by Lu Zhiyuan's sword.

"Miss Mu, you're so impressive. I have no objection, but you're the one who blocked me first." Lu Zhiyuan stood in front of the three of them and snorted coldly.

"What do the three Heavenly Ruins have to do with you?"

"These must be Junior Sister Ye. Feel free to come in. If the Second Palace can form an alliance, so can we, right?" Lu Zhiyuan ignored her and just smiled at Ye Wuxi and the other two.

Although Ye Wuxi's cultivation level was low, his name had been known throughout the Eight Realms Dao Palace. When the Eight Realms gathered at the boundary road, they all paid attention to this first place in the Heavenly Ruins Dao Battle, who had attracted the invitation of many saints.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Lu. Senior Brother Xu meant the same thing." Ye Wuxi quickly cupped her hands in thanks, and the three of them stepped into the void and entered the mouth.

The Sword Tomb is a dark and rugged stone path, where caves filled with fierce will are buried, which have been quickly broken open and occupied by the disciples who entered first.

"They are all engraved with sword patterns." Ye Wuxi and the other two carefully concealed themselves in the void, avoiding the caves occupied by the Heavenly Emperor experts.

Fortunately, among those who followed the top three on the outside, only a few had high cultivation levels. After all, the real powerhouses who were not far behind the top three usually explored the ruins on their own, leaving them some room to maneuver.

Inside a secluded cave, unlike other caves that are devoid of evil spirits and only adorned with intricate sword patterns, there stands an immortal ancient golden chair upon which sits a complete skeletal body, neither falling nor disintegrating.

Before the throne stood a six-zhang-tall humanoid sword spirit, its eyes resembling the sun and moon, like a guardian.

"The senses are here." When Ye Wuxi and the other two arrived, the cave entrance was tightly closed and sealed by a force, with only faint sounds of fighting coming from inside.

"The power of the void?" Chu Jiangli asked, somewhat surprised, as he looked at the power enveloping the cave entrance.

"We've definitely found the right place. I just wonder which family's disciple is inside." Ye Wuxi's eyes showed a hint of joy.

Time and opportunity wait for no one. Finding the right one in the Sword Tomb is more important than quantity. Each cave is engraved with sword patterns, which may be the insights of a powerful half-saint or contain sword-dao divine abilities.

But they don't have the resources to understand them all.

"Break it open and you'll know. Yun Ning, step back." Chu Jiang said, and immediately he and Ye Wuxi stepped forward. The power of space surged, shattering the binding force on the cave entrance.

The cave entrance burst open with a roar, and a terrifying killing wind rushed in. Ye Wuxi and Chu Jiangli quickly dodged to the side.

"Can you escape?" Li Changyi, dressed in white robes stained with blood, rushed out of the cave. Ling Qingcheng, Liu Yuebai, and the three True Emperors of Tianyou and Tianchi followed and attacked him.

"Destroy." The three True Emperors froze, and a pagoda appeared above their heads. Ye Wuxi and the other two appeared beside Li Changyi and cut off everyone's attacks.

"Thank you." Li Changyi drew his sword across the ground with one hand, looking at the three people who had suddenly come to his aid, and spoke with surprise on his face.
