I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 834 The Empress Makes a Move
"Empress!"

Mingmo, Duiche, Aoyuan, and the two marshals all changed their expressions drastically at the same time.

The three elders of Xijin Mountain looked surprised and astonished upon seeing this, and then became somewhat fearful.

The Empress personally intervened; could it be that this battle disturbed her and made her feel annoyed and unhappy?
If that's the case, then it's their dereliction of duty!

After a brief moment of stunned silence, a clear, cold voice slowly rang out.

"People of the Dragon Palace, leave my territory!"

Upon hearing this, Mingmo and the others' expressions changed again.

Mingmo hurriedly bowed towards the direction of Xijin Mountain and said, "Empress, this man killed my son and is my mortal enemy. I beg you to show leniency."

"Can't you understand what I'm saying?"

The voice turned cold, and the entire sea and sky space trembled slightly again, with flashes of swords and shadows floating in the void.

Upon seeing this, Mingmo and the others' expressions turned extremely ugly.

Just when they were about to succeed, the Empress of Xijin Mountain intervened, clearly intending to reap the benefits!

"Empress, don't go to extremes! Although this sea area is near Xijin Mountain, it is still part of the Western Sea. Moreover, Xijin Mountain and my Jinting Sea Palace are neighbors. We are just fighting enemies in this sea. Why do you have to be so disrespectful to your neighbor?" Dui Che said with his hands clasped, his expression somewhat cold.

"When I rose to fame, your West Sea Dragon King was nothing more than a small dragon. Let the East Sea Dragon King say that! Now you can leave. My patience is finite!"

The cold, authoritative voice rang out again, carrying a condescending disdain.

The implication was that among the Four Dragon Kings, only the East Sea Dragon King, the leader of the Four Kings, was qualified to talk to her about face!
Even if the Dragon King of the North Sea and the Dragon King of the South Sea are Golden Immortals who have returned to their origins, they are not qualified to ask her to give them face!

"Empress, don't go too far!"

Mingmo and Duiche could no longer suppress their anger and shouted angrily.

The former was furious because he was about to avenge the death of his son, but the Empress thwarted his plans.

The latter, on the other hand, had been suppressed by Xijinshan for thousands of years and had been harboring a lot of anger for a long time. At this moment, it finally couldn't hold back and exploded.

Upon hearing Mingmo and Duiche shout, Aoyuan's expression changed drastically. He realized something was wrong and was about to offer some advice, but it was too late.

A deafening tiger's roar came from the direction of Xijin Mountain.

The white tiger phantom that filled the sky above Xijin Mountain slowly raised one of its paws.

In an instant, the entire world was filled with the killing intent of Geng metal.

Everyone involuntarily conjured up horrific images of rivers of blood and mountains of heads in their minds.

Five snow-white blades pierced through the void and appeared above Mingmo and the others.

Those are the five claws of a tiger's paw.

"Empress, please forgive me!" Ao Yuan shouted, unleashing his full immortal power, and smashed a pair of golden hammers down on a blade that was falling towards him.

Almost simultaneously, he revealed his true form: a gigantic golden tortoise shell, its surface crisscrossed with ancient patterns, enveloping his entire body. "Clang! Clang!"

The pair of golden hammers shrank instantly and fell down after being cleaved by the blade.

The remaining force of the blade followed, slashing at the golden tortoise shell. The ancient patterns burst forth with dazzling golden light, blocking the blade's attack.

Immediately following, a golden streak shot rapidly through the air towards the West Sea Dragon Palace.

Within the golden rainbow, Ao Yuan poked his head out, his face filled with terror.

Many of the ancient patterns on that huge golden tortoise shell had been cut off and were no longer continuous.

Mingmo and the others were not so lucky; their magical treasures were all destroyed, and their bodies were covered in shocking knife wounds.

The five people only stopped when they had fled far away from that sea area.

"Isn't the Empress a reincarnation of a true spirit who only returned to West Golden Mountain thousands of years ago and has never been able to attain the status of a Golden Immortal? How could she be so powerful?" Dui Che looked shocked and incredulous.

“Even though she hasn’t attained the status of a Golden Immortal of Return to Origin, the Western Golden Mountain is the place where her foundation and original power reside. As long as she stands on the Western Golden Mountain, and as long as we are within the Western Golden Mountain sea area, she can unleash the power of a Golden Immortal of Return to Origin!” Ao Yuan said with lingering fear.

"Even so, the three of us are all at the late-stage Golden Immortal realm of the Myriad Laws realm, how could we possibly be unable to withstand a single attack from her?"

Dui Che still couldn't believe that that attack had left him in such a sorry state.

"Yes, this is really too powerful!" Mingmo still found it hard to believe.

Upon hearing this, Ao Yuan gave a bitter smile, looked up at the direction of Xijin Mountain, and his eyes showed reminiscence and awe.

"The Empress was born in the ancient era and is a Golden Immortal who returned to the origin, mastering the Great Dao of Geng Metal and killing. You are Golden Immortals of Myriad Laws who rose to prominence later and did not experience the ancient era, so you do not know how powerful and influential she was in the ancient era."

She just said that back then, our West Sea Dragon King was just a small dragon, which wasn't an arrogant statement at all. Back then, I was just a small golden tortoise, while she was already a high-ranking, renowned Golden Immortal who had returned to the origin.

Back then, there were very few Golden Immortals who could rival her in the entire Immortal Realm. The current Lord of the Immortal Court was one of them, while the Dragon King of the East Sea was a level below her. You can imagine how powerful she was.

Now, even though she may find it difficult to reclaim her status as a Returning Origin Golden Immortal, as long as she doesn't leave West Golden Mountain, with the foundation of West Golden Mountain and the primordial power she left behind, even a Returning Origin Golden Immortal would find it hard to fare well.

Upon hearing this, the four members of Mingmo subconsciously turned their heads to look at Xijinshan, their gazes complicated.

"However, today's events are quite strange, and I can't figure them out." Ao Yuan's tone changed, and he looked puzzled.

"What's so strange?" Mingmo blurted out.

“The Empress’s status is so noble and transcendent, and in ancient times she was known for her cold and arrogant personality. Logically speaking, even if we are Golden Immortals in the late stage of the Ten Thousand Laws Realm, in her eyes we are just a few insignificant people fighting, and she would not care about us at all. Why would she personally step forward?” Ao Yuan said.

“I don’t think there’s anything suspicious about it. After all, she’s not the same person she used to be. She’s just like us now, only a late-stage Golden Immortal of the Myriad Laws. She only has great supernatural powers because of the advantage of the location. Since that’s the case, she must have been secretly watching and paying attention to our fighting on her territory. Later, seeing that the villain’s methods were powerful and that he was almost out of fuel, she got the idea to sit back and reap the benefits,” Dui Che said.

"That's unlikely! There must be some other reason why she stepped forward. Perhaps she felt a pang of sympathy for our talent, or perhaps she couldn't stand seeing us ganging up on her, or perhaps she wanted to use this incident to put pressure on the West Sea Dragon Palace!" Ao Yuan shook his head and said.

“Prime Minister Ao’s words make sense! I can still sense the Dragon-Slaying Blood Curse left by my son. If the West Golden Mountain really intended to reap the benefits, that villain should already be dead, and I shouldn’t be able to sense the blood curse anymore,” Mingmo said, his expression extremely gloomy.

　That concludes today's update.
