Fairy, listen to my explanation.

The Gap That Appeared in Chapter 570

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

"Greetings, Emperor Yan!"

All the cultivators bowed respectfully to the figure in the sky, their relief at surviving the ordeal making them feel as if they were in a dream.

To their surprise, a somewhat unfamiliar young man was standing not far behind the Empress.

Out of reverence for the Empress, no one dared to look at her a second time.

Yan Ruo and the other three Flame Guards all knew of Qin Yu's existence, so they were not too surprised.

However, their auras were somewhat weak at this moment. Although they were all experts in the Foundation Establishment Realm, in order to protect these cultivators, Yan Ruo and the others could only do their best to activate the power of Dao to resist the erosion of death energy.

Even so, if they were to linger for another half a day, they would inevitably exhaust their strength and perish here.

"Your Majesty, the Black Soul Palace's formation is located below."

Yan Ruo used a wisp of spiritual power to lift everyone up, and stood respectfully behind the Empress, saying.

"Let's recover first."

With a flick of her sleeve, the Empress sent a jade bottle floating toward Yan Ruo.

Looking at the four Flame Guards, who were covered in dust and looked exhausted, the Empress's eyes turned cold.

"boom!"

The next moment, a bolt of lightning struck down, causing the earth to shake violently. The damaged mountain was enveloped by a destructive force and instantly turned into dust. A huge array appeared below.

The formation was covered with mysterious and obscure array patterns, and streams of pitch-black mist continuously emerged from it.

"Soul-Devouring Blood Refining Array?"

The Empress frowned, and with a wave of her hand, a bolt of silver lightning poured down, carrying terrifying destructive power, and frantically impacted the formation below.

The black mist surged wildly, seemingly trying to devour the lightning, but under the absolute power, the giant formation only lasted for two breaths before shattering completely.

Below, three figures in black robes appeared, each with a hint of fear in their eyes.

They clearly felt that in front of the Great Yan Empress, they were like ants, with no chance of escape. In fact, they felt that if they made any move, they would be annihilated in an instant.

"Emperor Yan, you are too late."

Zun Wu's face was extremely ferocious. At this moment, his body was trembling uncontrollably, but a look of madness appeared in his dark eyes.

"You dare to act recklessly within the territory of the Great Yan Dynasty! You deserve to be executed!"

The Empress's eyes were cold. Without asking any further questions, she suddenly brought her hand down towards the three figures in black robes.

"boom!"

The thunder roared wildly, and in an instant, the figures of the three black-robed men were completely annihilated by the lightning.

A moment later, the black-robed man and the stone pillar below had vanished, leaving only a terrifying deep pit emitting black smoke.

For Yan Wei, they were an insurmountable force. But under the command of Yan Di, neither the formation nor the three instigators could withstand a single blow.

Such a powerful scene filled the surviving cultivators with horror and their attitude became even more awe-inspiring.

This is the ruler of the Great Yan Immortal Kingdom!
All conspiracies are as fragile as paper in the face of his absolute power.

"Your Majesty, is that a fissure in the earth?"

At this moment, Qin Yu looked up at the sky, her voice solemn.

Yan Ruo and the others looked up and discovered that the original entrance to the ancient ruins had now turned into a hideous rift.

The crack was as black as ink, its edges shimmering with an ominous, blood-red light, as if the sky had been torn apart by a terrifying force. In the shadows, one could vaguely see countless moving black shadows within.

"Roar--!"

With a deafening roar that shook the earth, a thunderous howl suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a huge claw covered in thick scales suddenly tore through the shackles of space, emerging from the crack. Its sharp fingertips dripped highly corrosive viscous liquid, which immediately emitted a pungent, foul-smelling smoke upon touching the ground, as if even the air itself had been polluted by it.

"Ah."

The Empress gave a disdainful snort, and the Thunder Sword in her hand had already materialized. In a flash, the sword light leaped like a dragon. Before the giant claw could completely break free from the shackles, she flicked her finger, and the Thunder Sword fell with the force of a thunderbolt.

In an instant, lightning raged like a raging tide. Before the giant claw could even touch the ground, it was completely annihilated by the lightning and turned into nothingness.

"Roar--!"

From the depths of the rift came an even deeper, more soul-shaking roar.

At the same time, the black mist inside churned and writhed wildly, as if some indescribable thing was poised to break free of its restraints and descend upon the world.

for a long time.

But the ferocious beast did not reappear.

Clearly, the other party possessed a certain level of intelligence and, sensing the life-or-death crisis, dared not easily attempt to cross the void again.

"Ruin Crevice!"

Yan Ruo's expression was solemn; that giant claw had given her an extremely dangerous feeling.

Clearly, that Void Beast's strength is probably no weaker than that of a Foundation Establishment Realm expert!
The crevice has appeared!

Qin Yu's expression changed slightly, and a look of seriousness appeared in her eyes.

The scene before him reminded him of his days in Linxian City, where a similar rift had appeared, but that rift was only about three zhang in size.

The rift before them was at least a thousand feet in size, stretching across the sky, as terrifying as a scar on the heavens!
The first time I heard about the "Ruins" was in Linxian City, when I heard about its origin from my master's wife, Yin Qinghe. It was said that an ancient powerful being shattered the heavens and earth, while others said that it was another unknown world containing the opportunity to truly become an immortal.

However, after entering the Ruins with Duanmu Hong, Qin Yu realized that the Ruins were indeed another world, but even the air there was filled with heaviness and despair.

The so-called "fate to the immortals" probably doesn't exist at all!
In the Wanjing Hall of the Imperial Palace, he specifically searched for records about "Xu".

Only then did I realize that the so-called Ruins Crevice was created because the spatial barrier was broken!
However, the rift before him was simply too vast. Even in the ancient records of the Myriad Scriptures Hall, there had never been a rift of such scale. Moreover, Qin Yu keenly sensed that the giant claw that had just emerged from it far surpassed any level-five rift beast he had ever seen before. He could hardly imagine what kind of world lay behind this rift, or just how powerful the rift beasts within were.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go into the Ruins to slay the Ruins Beast!"

Yan Ruo said respectfully that although her cultivation had not fully recovered after taking a few pills, as a Yan Guard, she should help the Empress solve her problems.

"Let's go back first,"

The Empress shook her head slightly, indicating her presence.

This fissure in the ruins is too bizarre to be ignored; otherwise, it will be a catastrophe for the Mountain Mist Palace and even the entire Great Yan Immortal Kingdom.

However, the deathly aura currently shrouding the Shiwan Mountains region must also be dealt with as soon as possible.

Every extra moment of delay will damage the spiritual energy of this world, and the death energy will grow stronger.

"Chichi..."

The Empress brought her hands together, and a surge of lightning-attribute Daoist power roared out, like a lightning dragon, swirling before the rift in the void.

Any beast that dares to try to emerge from the crevices of the ruins will inevitably suffer the terrifying power of this thunder.

After doing all this, the Empress gracefully departed.

When they saw the almost sky-covering black mist barrier again, everyone's expressions turned grim.

Some of them tried to break through the black mist in front of them, but to no avail. They even watched helplessly as one powerful cultivator after another was swallowed up by the black mist.

If they hadn't run to Yanwei's side for protection in time, they would probably have become part of the energy that nourishes the black mist.

The Empress casually tore a gap about ten feet in the black mist, signaling the four Flame Guards to take the surviving cultivators back.

Yan Ruo didn't waste any words, but before leaving, he couldn't help but take another look at Qin Yu.

This brother-in-law...

Does he really have some extraordinary abilities?

Otherwise, why would His Majesty take him everywhere he goes?
"Om..."

After Yan Wei and the remaining cultivators had left, the Empress made her move, unleashing a terrifying surge of Daoist power that enveloped the entire area.

Under the Empress's divine might, the black mist surged, yet it could not escape or dissipate even a trace. Instead, it was controlled by an invisible force and converged towards the central area.

As the black mist was driven away, a desolate land was revealed, with human corpses and the remains of various ferocious beasts scattered everywhere, exuding a sense of desolation.

Qin Yu's expression was solemn as she silently followed behind the Empress, trying her best to use her true energy to protect her from the deathly aura.

However, Qin Yu's worries were clearly unnecessary.

As a half-sovereign, the Empress could not purify the death energy, but this amount of death energy was not enough to affect her; at most, it could only cause her some discomfort.

……

"Solve it?"

"Didn't His Majesty pass away? Why is that annoying thing still here!"

Above the palace.

The Empress Dowager sat atop a high palace, gazing into the distance towards the Shanmiao Palace. Her eyes shone with divine light, as if she had transcended space and distance to see the scene she longed to witness.

The only thing that reassured her was that this time, the Empress and Qin Yu did not disappear.

In other words, the Empress should have no chance to bully Qin Yu.

However, just as the Empress was about to depart, the Empress Dowager sensed an extremely unpleasant fluctuation.

Moreover, that feeling of disgust grew stronger and stronger!

"Is it impossible for Your Majesty to solve this?"

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly and muttered to herself.

How annoying!

I really want to get rid of that annoying thing!
The Empress Dowager, seemingly lost in thought, suddenly looked towards the depths of the palace.

With that old man in charge, I should be fine leaving for a while, right?

But... His Majesty also said that he would guard this place while she was away.

The Empress Dowager was so angry that she stomped her feet. Why could Qin Yu stay by His Majesty's side all the time, while she had to stay here?

Do you think I'll hold her back?
How abominable!

Speaking of which, why hasn't Ling Tianfeng become a half-saint yet?

Could it be that he has become lax in his cultivation?
The Empress Dowager sensed this and her expression immediately darkened.

Soon, Yan Zhi appeared in front of Ling Tianfeng's residence.

Ling Tianfeng, who was still fast asleep, suddenly jolted awake, a sense of foreboding washing over him, and he rolled over and sat up.

When he saw the figure standing outside, his head immediately drooped.

What's wrong now?

What merit do I possess to deserve supervision from the dignified Commander of the Flame Guard?
He wanted to cry but had no tears.

Although he has the potential to become a half-saint, achieving that status is no easy feat.

To be honest, although he was afraid of the Empress, he was even more afraid of the Empress Dowager.

The origins of this Empress Dowager are not really a big secret; she is an auspicious figure from mythology.

For Ling Tianfeng, who possessed a unique bloodline, there was an even greater suppression effect from his bloodline, and he dared not resist in the slightest.
