Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 571 This is all Fire Seed Value!
One hundred thousand mountains.

With the arrival of Yan Ruo and the others, the tense atmosphere was somewhat relieved.

At the signal of the Palace Master Wang Liweng, the cultivators of the immortal sects began to return to their respective sects, leaving only the cultivators of the Mountain Misty Palace to observe from the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

After arranging everything, Wang Liweng also left in a hurry. He needed to stay at Shanmiao Palace and couldn't stay in the Ten Thousand Mountains forever.

Since the sudden incident, various forces will surely rush to the Mountain Mist Palace to find the cause. After all, far too many cultivators have perished this time—dozens of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, each a pillar of their respective forces!
Thinking about what he had to face, Wang Liweng felt a headache coming on.

If he hadn't known that Her Majesty the Empress had personally entered the Ten Thousand Mountains, he simply couldn't imagine how he would have been able to cope on his own.

At this moment, deep in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

The black mist barrier that originally covered an area of ​​dozens of miles was suppressed by the Empress with ruthless means in the deep pit where Annihilation Venerable Five was located.

"let's start."

The Empress glanced at Qin Yu and gestured.

As early as in Linxian City, Yan Yu had sent intelligence that Qin Yu could purify death energy.

Seeing the Empress's indifferent expression, Qin Yu dared not delay and immediately activated his true essence, smashing it into the deep pit below, which resembled a pool of ink.

Purify dead energy +100

Purify dead energy +100

【…】

A series of numbers floated by, and as Qin Yu watched the fire seed value soar, she suddenly felt that being interrupted from communicating with the flower fairy wasn't such a bad thing.

Dozens of streams of true energy fell in succession, but the deathly lake below showed no signs of weakening.

It seems that it will take at least several days to purify so much death energy.

"Your Majesty, was that fissure in the ruins also the work of the Black Soul Palace?"

Qin Yu vaguely sensed another terrifying roar coming from the crevice of the ruins and couldn't help but ask.

"With just those rats?"

The Empress gave a cold laugh.

"Not them?"

Qin Yu was taken aback, somewhat puzzled.

"The spatial barrier here is inherently weak, likely left behind by ancient ghosts during their invasion, or perhaps caused by ancient sages exorcising them..."

The Empress pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"The people of the Black Soul Hall were actually able to break through the spatial barrier?"

Qin Yu's expression changed slightly, but her hands did not stop moving in the slightest.

"The Black Soul Hall uses insidious methods. The so-called ancient ruins are nothing more than spatial barriers they have found."

"It took fifty or sixty cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage and tens of thousands of other cultivators as sacrifices, nourished by death energy, to tear open this fissure in the ruins."

The Empress's voice had taken on a colder tone.

Fifty or sixty cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage, and tens of thousands of other cultivators...

Qin Yu shuddered. The cruelty and scheming of the Black Soul Palace had exceeded his imagination.

It's clear from the Empress's cold attitude that if any of the Black Soul Palace's rats were to escape now, they would surely be annihilated by the Empress with lightning speed.

"Could there be a Void Beast of the Demi-Zen level on the other side of the Void Rift?"

Qin Yu suddenly thought of a possibility.

The three black-robed figures who were just killed by the Empress had a significantly stronger aura than the two black-robed figures who had ambushed him twice. They must be quite rare even within the Black Soul Palace.

Three cultivators at the fifty or sixty-step stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, who even used such a massive amount of death energy to break through the spatial barrier, clearly had been planning this for a long time.

The empress slowly raised her head and looked up at the sky above.

The Thunder Dragon continued to roam the edge of the rift, exuding a menacing aura. However, through the crack in the rift, one could vaguely see numerous dark figures roaming on the other side, their occasional roars causing the entire world to tremble.

"maybe."

A golden light flashed in the Empress's eyes.

"Half-Saint" is merely a title of respect for those who have reached the hundredth step of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Within this level, there is still a huge gap.

Just like the Qin Emperor, who was hailed as the strongest emperor, no ruler of any immortal kingdom would dare to claim that he could rival him.

The fact that the Great Yan Empress is hailed as one of the top three of the nine emperors shows that her strength is far beyond that of ordinary half-saints.

So what if there's a half-demon Void Beast on the other side of the Void Rift?

Just kill him!

"Your Majesty, is it possible to seal this rift in the void?"

Qin Yu asked.

Looking at the thousands of feet of ruins on the horizon, he always had a bad feeling.

"Such spatial rifts can only be left to close on their own."

The Empress frowned slightly and did not continue speaking.

The term "Ruins Crevice" refers to a spatial gap, or more accurately, a crack or fissure in this space.

Looking at the current situation...

It will likely take a considerable amount of time for it to close on its own.

Even if an array is set up, it probably won't last long, and as the ruler of a country, the Empress obviously can't stay here indefinitely.

This is what really gives the Empress a headache.

Without her presence, this region would likely face a catastrophe once the Void Beast descends.

Qin Yu didn't ask any more questions.

He could probably guess what the Empress was worried about, after all, he had experienced and witnessed it before.

Ultimately, it was because my cultivation level was too low!
If he could reach the legendary Venerable Realm, he would definitely protect the Empress and share her burdens.

However, it seems that this is just wishful thinking for now. Moreover, given the Empress's personality, even if Qin Yu truly reaches the Venerable Realm, she will not be content to be a caged bird.

Qin Yu would take good care of his Daoist partners, doing his best to provide them with the best cultivation environment and resources, but at the same time, he would also respect their ideas.

Just like Bai Yaoyin, she could easily enter her natal space to cultivate.

However, Qin Yu did not force her to do anything, but respected her choice and let her continue to stay in Xiaoyao Pavilion.

A whole day passed, and Qin Yu tirelessly purified the death energy until her true essence was completely exhausted.

The deathly aura below, which had previously resembled a lake, had visibly decreased by nearly half.

Cultivation Level: Early Nascent Soul Stage (64%)

[Innate Talent: Top-Grade Daoist Bone (Fire Seed Value 387382/1600000)]

[Mental Strength: Mid-Level Microscopic (Spark Value 387382/400000)]

Qin Yu glanced at the flames and saw that in just a short while, the flame value had increased by nearly 200,000!
Of course, this was also thanks to the Empress's help, who imprisoned the death energy in a deep pit, saving him the trouble of searching everywhere.

"Let's take a rest."

The Empress spoke calmly.

This guy tries his best to purify both malevolent energy and death energy.

It is not hard to see from this that he still has a deep sense of awe for himself and there is no element of perfunctoriness in his attitude.

It was precisely because he was sensible that the Empress tacitly allowed him to accompany her during her tribulation.

"Your Majesty, I can recover faster if I go back inside."

Qin Yu made the suggestion.

The Empress nodded slightly; she naturally understood what Qin Yu meant.

Although she had never been inside, Qin Yu had mentioned some things to her during her last tribulation, and she knew that the flow of time in her natal space was somewhat different from that in this world.

"Go."

The empress casually took out a bottle of pills to restore spiritual power.

Qin Yu did not refuse.

Sure enough, Qin Yu reappeared in less than half a day.

The Empress was about to say not to push herself too hard when she keenly caught a familiar scent.

This guy……

Even at a time like this, you haven't forgotten to cultivate with your Daoist partners?!

Ah!
The Empress snorted inwardly, but she was too lazy to bother with it.

shallow.

If it weren't for the need to overcome the Seven Emotions Tribulation, I would absolutely not allow him to touch it even a little bit.

Qin Yu was completely unaware of the Empress's reaction. In his eyes, the Empress was incomparably majestic and not to be profaned. Even though the two of them knew this, he still maintained awe and dared not look directly at her face.

During the two days he spent in his natal space, his true essence fully recovered to its peak state.

Because of the existence of the personal talisman, it is possible to do both without any problems.

Purify dead energy +100

Purify dead energy +100

【…】

Qin Yu began to repeat her previous actions, streams of true essence whistling down, with wisps of green smoke rising continuously from the deep pit.

Sometimes they would look up at the sky, where more and more dark shadows appeared in the crevices. However, seemingly sensing the threat of the thunder dragon, even though they were restless, no treacherous beast dared to enter this world.

This continued for four days.

Qin Yu exhausted his true essence twice, and finally purified all the death energy in the deep pit on the third attempt.

The pit was riddled with cracks, and the array left behind by the Black Soul Hall had long since vanished without a trace.

"Your Majesty, it's over."

Qin Yu took a deep breath and glanced around.

The area was desolate, with even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth becoming extremely thin. On the cracked earth, one could vaguely see withered bones scattered everywhere.

Even more terrifying was the thousand-foot-long crack in the sky, which resembled a scar and constantly shimmered with a dark red light, as if it were about to burst open at any moment and completely destroy this world.

The Empress nodded slightly, secretly relieved, and her gaze towards Qin Yu softened a little.

Such a massive amount of death energy could only be temporarily sealed away by the Empress without Qin Yu; it was impossible to purify it.

This is undoubtedly a time bomb, and no one knows whether the Black Soul Hall will secretly detonate it.

If this deathly aura is allowed to run rampant, it will probably be reduced to a dead zone in less than half a month, where all living beings and spiritual energy will be devoured.

At that point, the situation will become increasingly uncontrollable!
Fortunately, the Great Yan Dynasty had Qin Yu.

Cultivation Level: Early Nascent Soul Stage (65%)

[Innate Talent: Top-Grade Daoist Bone (Fire Seed Value 639127/1600000)]

[Mental Strength: Mid-Level Microscopic (Spark Value 639127/400000) (Can Break Through)]

Qin Yu scanned the flames.

After purifying the death energy here, he gained about 500,000 fire points. If he harvests two more waves of such a large amount of death energy, his physical constitution will be improved!
The Empress stood tall and imposing, her gaze piercing through the clouds and reaching the highest heavens. She wore a shimmering golden dragon robe, its hem fluttering in the wind, displaying her supreme majesty as the ruler of the Great Yan.

She was used to looking down on everyone, but at this moment, a rare look of solemnity appeared in her deep eyes.

The deathly aura has been dispelled, leaving only the hidden danger of the crevices in the ruins.

Although there was a thunder dragon formed from the power of thunder attribute Dao, nothing unexpected happened in the past few days.

However, at the edge of the rift, the space rippled and surged like lake water.

Clearly, the Void Beast within the Void Rift is continuously expanding the spatial barrier. As space twists and breaks, the originally massive Void Rift, thousands of feet in size, visibly expands and grows.
