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

The central ruins exuded a sinister aura, with invisible evil thoughts permeating the air, silently eroding everyone's will.

"You've arrived just in time." Ye Wuxi looked around and said, the evil thoughts in the open in the void had been basically cleared away.

"However, apart from the senior from the Demon Palace who made arrangements in advance, and the holy sword in Xi'er's hand, there doesn't seem to be any semi-sacred artifacts on the entire battlefield. I wonder if there are any in the central ruins?"

Gu Baiyi stroked her chin. A decent semi-sacred artifact would be incredibly valuable to them, even for those at the Emperor Realm, and could be a lifesaver.

“Even the half-saints are dead, let alone their weapons. The holy sword in my hand was probably already broken when that senior obtained it, but it is still of holy quality, which is why it has survived until now.” Ye Wuxi shrugged.

She also wanted to find another complete semi-saint sword, but the hope was slim. Her third senior sister and Yao Qianfeng were quite lucky.

Just then, an ancient mirror suddenly expanded boundlessly in the sky, followed by three semi-sacred artifacts soaring into the sky, exuding a terrifying killing aura.

"Xi'er, isn't that from your Dao Palace?"

"Good, let's go take a look." Ye Wuxi suddenly transmitted his voice, and the three of them entered the demon coffin and flew to the battlefield.

Before a vast black pit, a small team from the four palaces of Tianchi, Tianyou, Tianxu, and Tianxiao split into two camps and were fighting against a series of nine-zhang-tall evil spirits.

These evil spirits floated above the light shield of the black pit, no longer limited to attacks of the soul and will. They were like real emperor-level cultivators, able to mobilize the divine essence of a world, no less than the geniuses on the Emperor Ranking.

As a demonic coffin silently approached, the evil spirits were extinguished by the combined efforts of the four semi-sacred artifacts and the disciples. The light shield over the black pit dissipated, three gray beads floated, and twelve high-grade semi-sacred source stones were scattered in the pit.

"Collect." Yan He's face lit up with joy as he manipulated the Qiong Ri Furnace to cover the black pit, intending to collect it all.

"You think you can take it all for yourself?" Lu Zhiyuan's sword aura swept out, unleashing the Demon Extermination technique and knocking back the Qiong Ri Furnace.

"With Muhe's help, I will divide the two palaces equally." Yan He shouted softly, and the Qiong Ri Furnace burst forth with terrifying flames, attempting to extinguish the power of the exorcising evil.

"Alright." As Mu He's voice fell, the Soul Bell vibrated.

The moment the Thousand-Thread Bell in her hand bloomed, the Kunxu Mirror shone brightly, reflecting the invisible soul-capturing power and flames, and the power of the two semi-sacred artifacts was immediately weakened.

The four top-ranked players were fighting around the black pit, and the disciples who followed them all retreated, unable to intervene for the time being.

It would be virtually impossible for them to take away the contents of the pit while it was still under the residual power of the semi-sacred artifact.

"They're all Heavenly Emperors, but only Senior Sister is a True Emperor. It's not easy to snatch her away." Not far away, three people were hiding inside the demonic coffin. Ye Wuxi glanced at the four palaces' formation and frowned.

The top four leaders each brought fewer than five people, but they were all powerful figures from the Emperor Ranking. The eldest sister's cultivation had broken through, and she was proficient in space, so her speed was not slow at all; she probably just came to join in the fun.

As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Jiangli, who had been expressionless, slightly raised his arm, his white skirt sleeves billowing, like a void funnel, directly piercing through the aftershocks of the semi-sacred artifact and sweeping everything in the black pit away.

"Senior Sister's move is amazing. Let me borrow your Demon Coffin to play with for a while." Ye Wuxi's eyes lit up, and she said to Yao Qianfeng.

This weapon doesn't have to be limited to any particular type. She now thinks this coffin is quite useful; it can be used for both offense and defense, and it can be used for both fighting and running away.

"It's you again." The things in the black pit were taken away remotely. Mu He was the first to react, her eyes cold as she reached out to grab Chu Jiangli.

"A mere True Emperor dares to interfere in our battle!" Yan He's eyes were filled with anger, and he transformed into a fiery dragon and charged down.

Chu Jiangli remained calm and still, her long hair swaying slightly as the two men's attacks missed and were blocked by Xu Jing and Lu Zhiyuan.

"Junior Sister Chu, that was a brilliant move," the two exclaimed in unison.

"Very well, today I will show you the true power of the Sun Furnace, Sun Devouring."

Yan He's voice boomed, and nine strange flames rose from his palm, covering the Qiong Ri Furnace, instantly darkening the sky.

The Sky-Sun Furnace pressed down on everyone, blotting out the sun, as if it wanted to refine people and the entire earth into it, and even the void was sealed off.

"Break." Xu Jing and Lu Zhiyuan's eyes narrowed slightly as they unleashed their semi-sacred artifacts. Their bodies soared into the sky, their swords and sabers cutting through thousands of miles, blasting away the terrifying refining power around them.

"See how you all run away." Mu He's figure flickered, and the Thousand Silk Bells swayed and bloomed into vortexes, covering Chu Jiangli and the other disciples of the two palaces.

Just as everyone was in turmoil, a terrifying black light suddenly rushed over, its killing intent surging, and knocked Qian Siling away.

"What is that?" The light in the void was already obscured by the Qiong Ri Furnace, and the disciples were startled as they could not penetrate the black light.

“A semi-sacred artifact…” Mu He grabbed the bell back, her eyes narrowing slightly in alarm, but then a corner of the black light suddenly appeared, resembling a coffin.

Aside from the fact that no one on the leaderboard brought in a semi-sacred artifact, and there were none on the battlefield, the sudden appearance of a coffin was truly strange.

Then the demonic coffin opened another opening, and a slender hand reached out and grabbed Chu Jiangli inside. Then, several points of light flashed and fell into the hands of Xu Jing and Lu Zhiyuan respectively.

Before anyone could figure out what was going on or speculate whether it was some expert from the Demon Palace, the coffin lid slammed shut, turning into a wisp of black light and rolling away.

"Young Master Yan, slowly swallow the sun." While Yan He was distracted, Lu Zhiyuan and Xu Jing sensed the object in their hands, smiled, stepped onto their own semi-sacred artifact, grabbed several Heavenly Emperors, and rushed out.

"What's going on? Who is that?" Yan He put away the Qiong Ri Furnace and asked angrily.

“That hand belongs to Ye Wuxi,” Mu He said coldly, a hint of annoyance in her eyes.

The demonic coffin is indeed a semi-sacred artifact, but the person controlling it is not highly skilled, not the expert she had guessed. She wondered where Ye Wuxi obtained it from.

Although she has much greater control over the refining process than they do, even though they also possess semi-sacred artifacts, they are still no match for her.

"She's lucky." A dark glint flashed in Yan He's eyes.

Even the top-ranked team couldn't find a single semi-sacred artifact, yet Ye Wuxi not only possessed a broken sacred sword but also obtained a coffin.

The demonic coffin formed its own space, and the four of them divided up the four semi-saint source stones that were suitable for them. Chu Jiangli then unfolded the gray bead.

"This is the world seed, the evil spirit from the place where the seed was born. It is very difficult to deal with."

"I see. Without a semi-sacred artifact, we really wouldn't be able to act alone."

Ye Wuxi gazed thoughtfully at the gray bead. Her intuition told her that the seeds of this world would have a miraculous effect on the growth of the divine tree.

However, if they want to seize the World Seed, they will inevitably run into real experts, or even the top-ranked expert who holds a semi-sacred artifact. After all, it is not as abundant as a semi-sacred source stone, and the possibility of them discovering and monopolizing it is very low.

"In that case, Senior Sister's move has even more room to shine, a powerful tool for remotely collecting treasures." Gu Baiyi couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Yao Qianfeng nodded in deep agreement, but unfortunately, that was a great spatial power that neither of them could cultivate.

"Hehe, I can use this. Senior Sister, quickly pass it on to me. If we run into Canglan's group, we'll outmaneuver them." Ye Wuxi said with a smile.

"I knew you'd like it." Chu Jiangli smiled and touched her forehead.
