I, a spoiled young master, conquered the Crown Princess right from the start!

"Who is the Emperor of Great Xia? Show yourself!"

A cold, authoritative voice, devoid of any emotion, boomed like thunder from the sky above the capital, echoing through the heavens!

Above the void, several figures floated silently. The leader was an old man dressed in a black robe. His face was withered, but his eyes were as sharp as a hawk's. A terrifying aura that made people's hearts tremble was emanating from his body.

Behind him followed several equally powerful individuals, each exuding a chilling killing intent, like a drawn sword.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

At this moment, figures soared into the sky from all parts of the capital and hovered opposite the old man in black robes and his group.

Leading the group was Xiao Nihuang, who had already ascended the throne as Empress and was dressed in a dragon and phoenix imperial robe. Beside her were Chu Tianyuan, Duke Xiao, Bai Zijun, Zhuge Xuan, and others.

At this moment, apart from Bai Zijun who remained expressionless, everyone else wore an unprecedentedly solemn expression.

"I am the Empress of Great Xia." Xiao Nihuang, enduring the terrifying pressure, spoke in a clear, cold voice, "May I ask who you are, and what brings you to the capital of Great Xia?"

The old man in the black robe didn't even lift his eyelids, only letting out a cold snort through his nose, his gaze as if he were looking at an ant that he could crush at any moment.

"Northern Wilderness Palace".

He uttered three words calmly.

Xiao Nihuang's heart sank suddenly.

It really was them!

"The envoy sent by my Northern Wilderness Palace died in your Great Xia. Shouldn't you give me an explanation for this?" The old man in the black robe finally turned his gaze to Xiao Nihuang, his eyes filled with condescending scrutiny and indifference.

Xiao Nihuang was speechless for a moment. She couldn't very well say that her man had killed the person.

Seeing that she remained silent, the old man in the black robe grew even more impatient, and his voice became increasingly cold: "It seems you have no explanation to give. In that case, today, this Great Xia has no reason to exist."

His words fell as if he were stating a trivial matter. But the murderous intent contained in his words caused the temperature in the capital city below to drop several degrees.

"What arrogance!" A loud shout rang out as Chu Tianyuan stepped forward, his Tiger Soul Greatsword pointing at the old man in the black robe. His own powerful aura as a martial arts cultivator erupted from him. "If you want to destroy my Great Xia, first ask the blade in my hand, Chu Tianyuan, if it agrees!"

"Oh?" The old man in the black robe finally looked at Chu Tianyuan properly, a look of surprise on his face, which quickly turned into deep disdain. "A mere ant who has just stepped into the Foundation Establishment Realm dares to be so insolent in front of me?"

He didn't even bother to do it himself, simply waving his hand casually at a middle-aged man behind him: "Go, kill him."

"Yes, sir!"

The middle-aged man bowed in response, then grinned maliciously. With a blur, he transformed into a streak of light and pounced towards Chu Tianyuan. He was also a Foundation Establishment Realm expert, and his aura was far more powerful than Chu Tianyuan's, clearly indicating that he had been in this realm for many years.

However, he was fast, but someone was faster than him.

A white figure appeared silently in front of Chu Tianyuan.

It was Bai Zijun.

He remained aloof, sword in his left hand, standing there silently, like an unchanging iceberg.

Facing the middle-aged man who rushed towards him with the force of thunder, Bai Zijun didn't even blink, and simply swung his sword casually.

There was no earth-shattering sword light, no sword energy that tore through the void.

It was just a simple, unremarkable sword strike.

puff.

A soft sound.

The menacing middle-aged man abruptly stopped in mid-air. His face still held a sinister grin, but his eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment.

The next second, a thin line of blood appeared between his eyebrows, then quickly spread downwards, traversing his entire body.

His body was neatly split in two from the middle.

Blood and entrails splattered from mid-air with a "whoosh".

One sword strike instantly killed a Foundation Establishment Realm expert!

At this moment, the entire world seemed to fall into a deathly silence.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Both Xiao Nihuang's side and the people from the Northern Wilderness Palace had expressions of extreme shock on their faces.

"He who takes a step forward shall die."

Bai Zijun sheathed his sword, still wearing that indifferent expression, as if he had just casually slashed a fly.

But at this moment, his slender figure appeared more majestic than a towering mountain in everyone's eyes. The invisible sword intent emanating from him was sharp and pure, as if it could pierce the heavens and sever the cycle of reincarnation.

"Who...who are you?!"

The old man in the black robe had completely lost his contempt and disdain, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity and apprehension.

He stared intently at Bai Zijun, sensing a dangerous aura within the pure and extreme sword intent that made even him tremble.

This one-armed swordsman is definitely no ordinary person!

Bai Zijun did not answer him, but stood there quietly, the sword in her hand humming slightly.

"Good! What a great Xia Dynasty! It actually hides a master like you!" The old man in the black robe laughed in fury, completely enraged. "I'll see just how capable you are!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying aura, several times stronger than before, suddenly erupted from his withered body.

Foundation Establishment Realm, Seventh Level!

This oppressive force was like the Milky Way pouring down from the sky, causing the entire sky to change color.

He took a step forward, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot. The next second, a withered hand appeared above Bai Zijun's head, carrying the power to pierce through the void, and fiercely grabbed down.

However, at this critical moment!

Boom! ...

A deep, muffled roar suddenly erupted from the depths of the palace without warning!

Immediately afterwards, an indescribable, terrifying suction force erupted from the source of the roar.

In an instant, the spiritual energy of the entire capital city, and even within a radius of a thousand miles, seemed to be drawn by some fatal force, transforming into visible torrents of spiritual energy that swept towards the palace deep within the imperial palace!

The scene was like ten thousand rivers flowing into the sea, or a dragon swirling and swallowing the sky—it was incredibly magnificent!

This sudden and astonishing change brought everyone to a halt.

The Third Elder's determined claw strike was abruptly halted in mid-air. He stared in horror at the center where spiritual energy was gathering, his eyes filled with astonishment and uncertainty.

"This...this is...someone is breaking through?!"

"What...what a terrifying aura!" Zhuge Xuan looked up at the center of the spiritual energy tornado, feeling the terrifying aura that was rising steadily and seemed to have no end. His face was filled with shock.

This aura is many times stronger than when he broke through!

Just then, the ever-increasing aura suddenly reached its peak and then exploded!

Om-! ! !

A terrifying pressure that surpassed heaven and earth and dominated all things swept through the entire capital city in an instant, like an invisible storm.

Under this oppressive force, whether it was the millions of people kneeling on the ground in the capital, or Xiao Nihuang, Chu Tianyuan and others floating in the air, or even the arrogant old man in the black robe of the Northern Wilderness Palace, they all felt an irresistible force descending from the sky.

Pfft!Pfft!Pfft!

The old man in the black robe and the Foundation Establishment experts he brought with them couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance. Their legs went weak, and they all knelt down in mid-air, prostrating themselves in the direction of the palace.

Their faces were filled with endless fear and horror.

It was as if they were worshipping a real god.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely dazzling golden beam of light shot into the sky from the palace, piercing through the clouds and traversing the entire sky of the Northern Wilderness!

Bathed in golden light, a tall and imposing figure slowly emerged from the palace, step by step ascending into the air.
