The Burial Tower of Immortals buries the heavens, the earth, and all the immortals.

Seeing the madness in their eyes, Qin Changye knew they were completely beyond saving.

He sighed and patted the tops of their heads with his palms.

They stared wide-eyed, then collapsed to the ground.

Because they had no cultivation, their corpses didn't even qualify to be buried in the first level of the Burial Immortal Tower by Qin Changye.

Soon, another person rushed up.

He was the youngest Minister of Justice in the first dynasty. He had solved many strange cases and was known as "Upright Justice" by the people. He was calm and wise when handling cases and was never swayed by external factors.

However, seeing the Empress once ruined his life!

He learned that the First Empress liked to act crazy, so he deliberately acted crazy in front of her.

His hair was disheveled, his eyes were bloodshot, and a strange smile played on his lips. He held a kitchen knife in each hand and kept yelling at Qin Changye, "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Shouting as he charged at Qin Changye, brandishing a kitchen knife, his knife skills were chaotic and fierce, a fight where he was willing to risk his life for his opponent's.

Qin Changye showed no mercy, severing the throat with a single sword strike.

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review lay on the ground, the eerie smile on his lips still lingering.

Soon, Qin Changye and his entourage arrived at the palace.

During this time, civil and military officials rushed out one after another. Some civil officials grabbed his legs, some military generals blocked his way with weapons in hand, and some guards knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging him to go back.

These people, once the pillars of the First Dynasty, now resemble a group of bewitched believers, willing to die for that high and mighty woman.

Qin Changye treated them all equally and killed them one by one.

Those with decent cultivation levels had their corpses stored in the Burial Immortal Tower.

Those with poor cultivation levels were simply left to rot in the streets.

The First Empress's palace, named Tianque Palace, was built at the highest point of the palace complex.

Its entire body is made of special jade, and when sunlight shines on the jade, it is extremely dazzling.

When Qin Changye and the others pushed open the palace gate, the First Empress was reclining on her phoenix couch.

At first glance.

She was indeed born perfect.

Her skin was as white as jade, her eyebrows and eyes were like a painting, her nose was straight and high, her lips were full and moist, and every inch of her features was too exquisite.

Her figure was impeccable; beneath the dragon robe, her curves were exquisite, and her waist was so slender it seemed as if it would break at any moment.

Her gaze fell lightly on Qin Changye, her eyes shimmering with an irresistible allure that made one want to immerse themselves in them.

Her voice wasn't loud, but every word carried an undeniable allure: "Qin Changye, you caused such a commotion, slaughtering your way through my capital, wasn't it all to attract my attention? I've already sensed your intentions."

She raised a hand and beckoned with her finger: "Come here, kneel down and kowtow, and I may take pity on you and make you my male servant."

Qin Changye looked at her, his eyes showing no emotion.

The First Empress frowned slightly. Her charm never failed her; no man who had ever looked into her eyes could remain sober.

Qin Changye, however, remained as calm as ever.

Qin Changye was actually somewhat disappointed. The First Empress in front of him was indeed good-looking, but her charm was still somewhat inferior to that of the Empress of Great Zhou.

Then, Qin Changye sensed that half of the palace was separated by a huge curtain.

At that moment, there was unusual activity and an unmistakable stench of blood in that half of the area.

With a casual wave of his hand, Qin Changye shattered the enormous curtain into pieces.

The scene that came into view made Qin Changye frown.

Xiuer and the others behind Qin Changye couldn't help but gasp.

As far as the eye could see, there were at least a thousand altars, and in each altar lay a young and strong man.

To be precise, these young adults have been drugged and are in a coma.

A giant serpent, as thick as a water bucket and entirely black, slithered among these altars.

It continuously opened its blood-red maw, using these special altars to suck away all the vital energy of these young and strong individuals.

The young and strong men whose blood and energy were drained visibly withered away, turning into dried-up corpses.

"Qin Changye, you have killed many of my loyal sycophants on your journey here, and even tried to kill me. I can forgive you for that. But I will never forgive you for disturbing my snake lover's meal!"

The First Empress was instantly enraged, drew her sword from her waist, and stabbed at Qin Changye.

Qin Changye used the first step of the Seven Steps of Heaven and Earth, "Close at Hand, Far Away," to easily dodge the sword strike, and couldn't help but look somewhat surprised.

This First Empress, who used her perfect looks and seductive arts to turn all the officials of the First Dynasty into her sycophants, is actually the sycophant of a giant snake!

"As the empress of the First Dynasty, it is understandable that you would use some underhanded methods to turn the civil and military officials of the First Dynasty into your sycophants."

But you turned around and became a lapdog to a giant serpent, offering up all the people who belonged to your first dynasty to be devoured by this serpent. Doesn't your conscience hurt? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?

Beside her, Xiuer couldn't help but question the First Empress.

As an emperor, he arbitrarily harmed his own people. Such shameless behavior is no less than that of the empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The First Empress snorted coldly, and seeing that she couldn't kill Qin Changye, she distanced herself from him.

"You mean these lowly people?" She looked at Xiu'er, her tone filled with undisguised contempt. "It is their honor to be eaten by my snake-like creatures. They should thank me for giving them such a worthy opportunity to die."

At the same time, the giant snake, which was actually a snake demon, roared and pounced.

His aura was no less than that of a human at the fifth level of the Emperor Martial Realm. As he pounced, countless snake shadows appeared all around him, densely packed and heading towards Qin Changye.

Qin Changye unleashed a sword strike, the sharp sword light tearing all the illusory figures to shreds.

A flicker of fear flashed in the snake demon's eyes. It turned to flee, but Qin Changye's sword had already caught up.

The first sword strike severed the snake's tail.

The second sword pierced the snake's belly.

The third sword strike severed the snake's head.

The serpent demon's enormous body crashed to the ground, blood gushing out and almost staining the entire palace floor red.

The First Empress was instantly stunned.

She stared at the snake demon's corpse on the ground, her flawless face contorted with uncontrollable rage: "You dared to kill my snake prince! Do you know he was my everything! I became empress because of him! I gathered these young men for him! I would give anything for him!... Today, I swear I will not be empress if I do not tear you to pieces!"
