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

"Haha, not bad fire and thunder." The Golden Crow laughed loudly, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of true solar fire at her, mixed with terrifying lightning. It was then enveloped in an inextinguishable flame and spread its wings to soar into the sky.

In terms of speed, he was no slower than the Golden-Winged Roc, and he didn't follow Yan He and the others at all. Instead, he quietly kept an eye on Ye Wuxi, who was in charge of the Vermilion Bird Flame.

However, facing someone who could defeat Ji Nanyan, he had no intention of fighting; taking the loot and leaving was the right choice.

"One roc died, and now you're here. You've got nothing but looting, haven't you?" Ye Wuxi's body was surrounded by black and white flames. He waved his hand to extinguish the oncoming Yang Fire and lightning, and chased after them in the blink of an eye.

A terrifying sword slashed from behind, igniting the surrounding world with the light of the sun and moon. The Golden Crow trembled, wielding the Emperor's Weapon, the Sun Treasure Disc, and charged out, calling out "Senior Brother!" again.

Upon hearing his voice, the four demons in the forest suddenly transformed into their true forms and rushed forward at incredible speed, extinguishing the light of the Sun and Moon Sword.

"Wu, let's go first." The four demons uttered, raising their hands to tear Ye Wuxi to pieces, but were blocked by a spear that cut through the air.

"Hold them off for a moment." An Sheng and Chu Jiangli rushed up and attacked the four demons, while Ye Wuxi suddenly flashed away to chase after the Golden Crow.

"Using your solar bloodline to exchange for fire and thunder isn't bad either." Ye Wuxi looked at the afterimage of the Golden Crow's escape, his body soaring into the sky. The Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird roared, and he suddenly drew back the Sun-Shooting Bow and fired an arrow.

An arrow, imbued with the power of starlight and flames, swept across the sky, carrying only the power of the bow itself, as well as the spatial and temporal power it had imbued.

A scream echoed through the heavens and earth as an ordinary arrow, devoid of any supernatural power or martial skill, shattered space and shot down the sun.

The golden crow crashed to the ground with a thud, followed by a demon tower that suppressed it.

"Stop!" A demonic roar from afar shattered the heavens and earth. The Divine Transformation Feather pierced towards the Demon Refining Tower, and the Golden Crow, its body engulfed in solar fire, tried to escape.

"Seal." Ye Wuxi wrapped one hand around the Extreme Yin Water Spirit and unleashed it, then struck the Sun and Moon Remnant Sword towards the Divine Transformation Feather.

The Golden Crow, along with the solar fire on its body, was frozen and, powerless to resist, was taken into the Demon Refining Tower. The Divine Transformation Feather and the Sun and Moon Remnant Sword collided in mid-air and rebounded back into the hands of the two.

"Release the Golden Crow." Xuan Jun stepped forward with a livid face and rescued the four great demons who were fighting An Sheng.

"As long as I'm alright, he'll naturally be alright too." Ye Wuxi said calmly as he approached An Sheng and Chu Jiangli, holding the Holy Sword.

“Even if I kill you, he can still get out.” Xuan Jun’s voice was icy as he unleashed a terrifying storm with his Divine Feather, engulfing and strangling the three of them.

"Break." The broken sword of the sun and moon hung high, and Ye Wuxi released two more peak-level demons. The two demons and An Sheng shattered the attack and broke through the blockade of another path. Chu Jiangli and Ye Wuxi followed closely behind, and the power of space surged.

The void flickered, and the three figures vanished from Xuan Jun's perception in an instant.

"Chase!" Xuan Jun roared, and the demon emperors stepped onto the Divine Transformation Feathers and streaked across the sky.

"Third Senior Sister said they went to the Kaitianming Ruins. I'll go there directly. Senior Sister An and Eldest Senior Sister can go and meet up with Senior Brother Xu and the others," Ye Wuxi said, holding a communication jade.

The whereabouts of the two members of the Xuanyuan family are still unknown. Judging from their cultivation methods, they are likely to be exploring the Tianchi Ruins. With Xuanjun, a wild demon, also chasing after them, it would be very dangerous for them to act alone.

In contrast, most of the Tianming Ruins are only suitable for disciples of the Demon Palace, so her interest in them also reduces the risk factor considerably.

As for releasing the Golden Crow, that's impossible; releasing it would only attract more hatred and trouble for her.

"That's fine. Let's head towards the Tianming Ruins first and wait for Lao Xu to arrive." An Sheng sensed a locking aura and spoke in a deep voice.

"Brother Xuan, did you see our clan's Sun-Shooting Bow just now?"

Suddenly, a jade-winged chariot appeared next to the Divine Transformation Feather. The chariot was golden in color and had two pairs of large jade wings on its sides. It was extremely fast and was specially made by the Xuanyuan Clan and held by its direct descendants.

Standing above were Xuan Yuan Ce, Xuan Yuan Jing, and several Heavenly Emperor-level experts.

"Ye Wuxi used this to kill the Golden Crow. He had also taken away the Roc before. It would be difficult to explain to the palace if he didn't kill it."

Xuan Jun snorted coldly, his gaze fixed on the spatial fluctuations in the direction the group had fled.

The main reason was that Ye Wuxi ignored his words and slipped away from him without the top-ranked player intervening. How could he save face if he didn't kill her?

Furthermore, he was very interested in the broken sacred artifact in Ye Wuxi's possession. Sacred artifacts are rare, and he would eventually have to return the half-sacred artifact in his possession. If he could seize it, it would be a worthwhile investment. Not only the broken sacred sword, but Ye Wuxi also possessed quite a few powerful imperial weapons.

"As expected." Xuan Yuan Ce said coldly. He and his sister had sensed the traces of the Sun-Shooting Arrow in the sky from afar, which was why they had tracked it down.

“But somehow she brought in two peak-level demon guardians, and with An Sheng by her side, she was able to escape successfully,” Xuan Jun suddenly said.

“We have already killed six demons in the Great Luo Ruins, but there are still two left. If this woman is not killed, she may really become a great threat,” Xuan Yuan Ce said coldly.

"Let's join forces to suppress her. Even if Xu Jing comes, we'll still kill her without hesitation, and then divide the spoils equally," Xuan Jun suggested.

The first time they faced off, he was too lazy to fight, and Xuan Yuan Ce didn't want to fight for Xing Hao, who was unrelated to him, so he easily retreated. This time, the two of them, plus the Heavenly Emperor level forces they brought with them, were unstoppable.

"Okay." The two sides quickly reached an agreement.

As they approached the entrance to the Tianming Ruins, Ye Wuxi and Chu Jiangli's strength was running out, and they could sense that another group of people was chasing them, so they dared not stop.

Soon, the sky was shrouded in a golden curtain of arrows, and demonic energy locked the heavens. The three were forced to emerge from the void, their brows furrowed.

"Let's see where you can go now." Xuan Jun and Xuan Yuan Ce led the way, wielding semi-sacred artifacts as they blasted through the air. The disciples of the two palaces also scattered in the sky, raising their hands to strike down in unison.

"Slash!" An ancient mirror suddenly shot towards the heads of the three, expanding wildly and obliterating most of the attack. Xu Jing came riding the wind, a strand of long hair falling in front of him, holding the Emperor's Blade in both hands and slashing down from the sky.

A single slash pierced the heavens and earth, its light undying and scattering the formation of the disciples from both palaces.

"Hmph, he really thinks he's invincible. Brother Xuan, since we can't kill him for now, let's just cripple him and leave him barely alive." Xuan Yuan Ce sneered, drew his bow and shot, then said, "Fourth Sister, those few are yours."

“Brother Xuanyuan is absolutely right. Let’s go and help Miss Jing kill those three.”

Xuan Jun waved his hand to the disciples in the palace, and the Divine Transformation Feather in his palm suddenly opened into a fan shape, bringing out countless sharp feathers to bombard Xu Jing.

"Break." Xu Jing beckoned and grabbed the Kunxu Mirror back. His body soared into the sky, and the mirror's power and the blade's light swept out.

"It's time to end this." Everyone moved away from the area around the top three. Xuan Yuanjing's voice was cold. Behind him, a blue-eyed holy spirit condensed and rose wildly, drawing out frenzied energy and shooting out.

"War God Technique." An Sheng soared into the sky with battle intent, and a terrifying War King figure rose from behind him, sweeping his spear towards the war arrows.

"Kill." Ye Wuxi released two great demons, which bombarded the other disciples from the air. She also activated the Sun and Moon Remnant Sword to create a terrifying sword curtain that enveloped her and Chu Jiangli's bodies.

All those who came this time were Heavenly Emperors, and the two of them were unable to intervene. It was already good enough if they were not affected by the aftermath.

Soon, the two demons tore apart the bodies of the two weaker Heavenly Emperors, their auras weakened, and their bodies were covered in bloodstains.

An Sheng and Xu Jing are also facing defeat.

"The situation is not good." Ye Wuxi said with a grim face. Suddenly, a beam of light broke through the seal and shot into the sky not far away.

The Tianming Ruins have opened.
