It's time to become a fairy.

Ye Qingge quietly activated the Heavenly God Transformation, and a holy aura emanated from her body, invisibly soothing the fear in the hearts of many celestial officials.

"In the subsequent formal investigation, this was the focus. The investigation began with the Emperor's bedroom, which was also the site of the incident. However, we did not expect to encounter the murderer's henchmen as soon as the investigation started. They wanted to erase the traces left by the murderer, which led to a speculation—the real murderer probably holds a high position in the Heavenly Court and may even be able to extend his reach into the palace."

A celestial official narrowed his eyes slightly: "To make a judgment based on just this? Is Your Highness's conclusion always so irresponsible?"

Ye Qingge glanced at him and smiled, "So it was just a guess. What confirmed my suspicions was what I discovered during my subsequent investigation. The Guixu Land connects to the seas of all the heavens and myriad worlds. Although it is a desolate place, it is possible to obtain some special products from all the heavens and myriad worlds through it. Two years ago, a piece of coral from the outer heavens was sent to the Heavenly Court. According to my investigation, this item is the origin of power and was secretly targeted!"

Ye Qingge waved her hand, presenting the evidence she had gathered to the immortals.

Compared to Ye Qingge's evidence, Ye Qingge's words are more intriguing. There is only one person who can use underhanded tactics in the Ruins of Return and also has the ability to interfere in palace affairs.

The newly enthroned emperor suddenly stood up, his imposing aura radiating from him: "Su Qing'er, are you doubting my mother?"

The power of the sixth level of the Dao Realm erupted, and the entire Heavenly Court was enveloped by the new emperor's aura, completely breaking the previously oppressive atmosphere.

Ye Qingge did not answer directly, but laughed and said, "A hundred years ago, my father had the idea of ​​annexing and embracing, and married my mother, who was the Demon Emperor at the time, wanting to rule the world together with all races. However, the Empress did not think so. Instead, she contacted the celestial officials in the Heavenly Court and had the intention of rebellion. But before she could take action, she was captured by my father and put into the Land of Return to the Void for suppression."

"If that were all, given the affection between Father Emperor and Empress, it wouldn't have been impossible to resolve this matter. However, Father Emperor never managed to bring Empress back until his death. Do you all know why?"

Ye Qingge took out a memorial and said, "This is a memorial that I found at the place where my father was working. It is from ten years ago. The emperor clearly pointed out that signs of demonic seeds were suspected to have been discovered in the Ruins of Return. This speculation did not begin ten years ago, but rather much earlier."

"Three years ago, the fluctuations of the demonic seed intensified, so Father began to feign serious injury in order to lure out the mastermind behind it and completely eliminate the demonic seed. However, he never expected that the mastermind also had the ability to reach into the inner court..."

"As far as I know, the Empress is the descendant of a high-ranking official from the previous dynasty, and her ancestors were related to the Heavenly Emperor of the previous dynasty by blood. Have you all forgotten why the previous dynasty was destroyed?"

Ye Qingge's voice grew louder and louder as she took a step forward. When she uttered her last sentence, the entire Heavenly Court fell silent.

Countless gazes fell upon Ye Qingge, and many celestial officials who knew the inside story began to breathe rapidly. The Underworld Lord below also raised his head, his gaze lingering on Ye Qingge for a while before looking away.

On his seat, the newly enthroned emperor, who had been full of arrogance just moments before, suddenly smiled, his aura subdued, and said, “What a fine example of how the previous dynasty perished, thus shifting the blame onto my mother. My mother has been away from the palace for a hundred years, and it would be difficult for her to control the court. As far as I know, there is someone else who has the ability to control the court and has studied this energy.”

"Bring the things up."

The new emperor waved his hand, and two maids behind him withdrew in response. A moment later, they brought up a crystal coffin the size of a person. Inside the coffin was a huge stone block sealed inside, with wisps of black mist rising above it. The black mist was very similar to that on the blade Ye Qingge had taken out, and even more active.

It was Ye Qingge who used the Soul-Connecting Technique to simulate the crystal coffin in the scene in the training room!

Unlike the simulated crystal coffin, the one in front of her was much clearer, with the details of the entire stone displayed before Ye Qingge's eyes. Judging from the fine texture, it should be a corner of some building.

"This item was discovered in Consort Su's Ning Shen Palace. There were many celestial officials and maids present at the time. According to my sources, Consort Su found it in the ruins of the previous dynasty. However, this matter is of great importance, involving the time of the previous dynasty's downfall. I have not yet figured out how to deal with it, so I have not taken it out."

"Since things have come to this, we have no choice but to bring them out. One is the Empress Dowager, who is far away in Guixu and whose influence on the Heavenly Court has dropped to zero. The other is Consort Su, who is researching the energy of this demonic seed and has shown signs of becoming the head of the harem since the Empress Dowager left. I believe that everyone here is capable of judging the truth of the matter."

The new emperor wore a sorrowful expression: "The matter is settled. Su Qing'er, bow your head and accept your punishment. Stop trying to deny it."

When the new emperor revealed his trump card, the gazes of those nearby changed instantly.

Among the celestial officials, the judicial gods in the first tier turned hostile, waiting only for the new emperor's order to seize Ye Qingge. Many celestial officials' eyes revealed hostility, as if the matter was already settled.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ye Qingge's smile remained unchanged. Her cultivation level was steadily rising, having already reached the fifth level. In the past seven days, her cultivation had reached the peak of the third level of the Dao Realm. The fifth level of the Heavenly God Transformation meant she had crossed five minor realms, roughly equivalent to the early stage of the fifth level of the Dao Realm.

Under the multiple changes of the heavens, Su Qing'er's will, which had remained unchanged in the previous instances, suddenly shifted and began to transform into Su Qingya's will. However, Ye Qingge no longer had the energy to pay attention to these changes.

Facing the pressure from the gazes of the immortals, Ye Qingge walked forward step by step, her aura becoming increasingly sharp, like a blade slicing through the sky, revealing its full edge: "Your Majesty's attempt to convict my mother with this is insufficient. The power attributes of demonic seeds also vary. If you observe carefully, you will see that the demonic seed power on the blade of the murder weapon is different from the one Your Majesty is holding."

"This murder weapon was left by the murderer who killed the late emperor. It matches the wounds on the late emperor's body and the damage caused. If you have any doubts, you can verify it."

"As for the Emperor and Empress, who are far away in Guixu, they are too far away to influence the Heavenly Court's harem... Of course, the Emperor and Empress alone cannot influence them, but what if there are accomplices with enough influence in the court?"

"During the investigation, we discovered a piece of flesh and blood tissue with the same power fluctuations as the blade, which looks like it was left over from the battle with the late emperor."

Ye Qingge took out a small black box from her bosom; it was the evidence given to her by the Underworld King.

Upon opening the box, a small section of a finger was visible protruding from the crystal coffin. When the two crystal coffins were placed nearby, the black power contained within them could be clearly seen boiling, as if it could break free at any moment.

The previously silent Underworld Lord suddenly flashed a sharp light in his eyes and said, "Perfect timing. I have a special organ given to me by someone else. I was wondering what it was, but now it seems to have the same origin."

With a wave of his hand, the Underworld Lord produced a crystal coffin containing a hand, the missing segment of which was exactly the same as the finger in Ye Qingge's hand.

The same black energy flickered, echoing the two crystal coffins in Ye Qingge's hands, clearly originating from the same source.

Many celestial officials stared intently for a long time before their gazes suddenly fell upon the new emperor's hands.

The new emperor's hands were fair and delicate, like the skin of a newborn baby, clearly recently regrowth. Combined with Ye Qingge's words, this was enough to make everyone's imagination run wild.

The new emperor's expression froze, then he flew into a rage, slamming his fist on the table and shouting, "You're doubting me!"

"Whether you have doubts or not, let the facts speak for themselves."

Ye Qingge spoke calmly, then suddenly reached out and slapped open the two crystal coffins.

The previously surging black power was suddenly released, combining and intertwining, seemingly about to erupt. At the critical moment, Ye Qingge abruptly raised the Heavenly God Transformation to the seventh level, without harming Su Qing'er's consciousness to its limit. His strength rose two minor realms again, climbing from the early stage of the fifth level to the late stage.

A vast surge of divine power erupted, sealing the force firmly in one place. Ye Qingge tossed a strand of hair from his hand, formed hand seals, and chanted a spell: "O soul, return! Depart from your eternal abode, what are you doing in the four directions..."

Amidst the chanting of incantations, a massive amount of Yin energy converged, surging wildly into the late emperor's blood and the empress's hair.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the figures of the late emperor and empress appeared in the Lingxiao Palace.

Chapter 66 The Late Emperor's Last Edict, the Heavenly Court Split

The figures of the late emperor and empress appeared together on the Lingxiao Palace. Along with them was a figure shrouded in black power. One of the figure's hands was broken, and drops of demonic blood, stained with black power, fell onto the Lingxiao Palace, corroding the ground and creating pits.

Numerous demonic patterns also appeared on the emperor and empress's bodies. Like the black figure, they both had a Dao Realm halo behind their heads, which was stained with demonic energy. However, compared to the black figure, the Dao Realm halo was less corroded, with only half of it being corroded and soaked by the power. Their clothes were also torn in many places, making them look extremely disheveled.

Compared to the Emperor and Empress and the black figure, the late Emperor looked even more miserable. Only two halo remained behind his head, and his aura was teetering on the brink of collapse. His figure crashed into the steps below the throne of the Lingxiao Palace, shattering countless immortal pillars.

The yin energy spread out, affecting an ever-expanding area, and before the eyes of all the immortals, the entire Lingxiao Palace underwent a transformation.

One moment it was a gathering of immortals, a solemn and majestic place where gods and immortals gathered, and the next moment it turned into a demon cave. Countless black energies formed arrays, covering the entire harem and isolating the inside from the outside into two completely different worlds. No internal fluctuations could be transmitted to the outside world.

The black-clad figure moved forward step by step. The emperor and empress beside him seemed to be hesitant and wanted to say something, but the figure ignored them and climbed the steps one by one. He reached out and grabbed the late emperor by the neck, and slowly sat down on the throne. The figure gradually overlapped with the new emperor sitting on the throne.

"How many times have I dreamed of sitting in this position, but I never imagined that I would sit on the highest throne by doing such things."

The voice seemed tinged with emotion as it looked at the late emperor, who still clung to life, and said coldly, "So why did you want to depose me? If not for that, things wouldn't have come to this. I... oh, no, I will have everyone who witnessed this scene buried with my father. Rest in peace."

Having dealt with the late emperor, the new emperor, seated on his throne, seemed to sense something and glanced in Ye Qingge's direction. The black power within him seemed to have caught something and wanted to cross time from the simulation of Yin energy. Countless Yin energies boiled violently, collapsed with a bang, and returned to their real appearance.

The entire scene was quieter than ever before. Whether it was the celestial officials, the underworld lords, or the top experts of various foreign races, all eyes were focused on the new emperor, and no one spoke for a moment.

The ascension of the new emperor was seen by many officials as having many hidden secrets and was not a normal succession, but this was a matter of the royal family, and outsiders had no way to interfere.

At this moment, when Ye Qingge reveals this scene, the meaning becomes different.

The wind direction within the Lingxiao Palace shifted again, even showing signs of becoming one-sided!

Even the celestial officials who were originally loyal to the Emperor dared not speak further and remained silent with their heads bowed.

At this moment, Ye Qingge's figure had already stepped from the entrance to the steps below the throne, standing in front of the Underworld King and several first-tier celestial officials. She stopped and looked at the new emperor on the throne, calmly saying, "This is why I doubt Your Majesty. If Your Majesty feels that you are innocent, and displays the Dao Realm halo, is it different from what is shown in the picture?"

"If Your Majesty believes you are innocent, you may use the Heavenly Divine Transformation to prove your innocence. The Heavenly Divine Transformation is the foundation established by the Supreme Emperor's Heavenly Court and is inherently antagonistic to the power of the Demon Seed."

"If Your Majesty believes you are innocent, please prove it yourself."

stepping on

As Ye Qingge stepped onto the stairs, her aura soared to its peak, as if an invisible force was forming behind her, creating a stark contrast with the silent new emperor.

She took another step up the stairs and said, "If you cannot testify to your guilt, then it is Your Majesty's confession. You colluded with the Emperor and Empress to kill your father and mother, and practiced demonic cultivation techniques. Furthermore, before arriving at the Heavenly Court, the Emperor's concubines and royal bloodlines were nowhere to be seen, presumably having also fallen victim to Your Majesty's cruelty. Such actions cannot be described as mere treason; you have committed every major crime of the Heavenly Court."

"Why has Your Majesty betrayed the Heavenly Court?!"

"No, that's not right either. Your ascension to the throne was illegitimate. The so-called third emperor's position is nothing but wishful thinking. You are nothing but a traitor who plots to usurp the throne."

Ye Qingge ascended the steps, her aura growing stronger with each step. The new emperor, however, showed no sign of displaying his power, as if he had been utterly rendered speechless by Ye Qingge's words.

As Ye Qingge crossed the halfway point, a sense of crisis suddenly descended upon her. Su Qingya's voice suddenly rang out: "Pervert! Quickly activate the Heavenly God Transformation to its limit! Something's wrong with Taihuang!"

Ye Qingge did as she was told without hesitation. Although she and Su Qingya didn't get along, she chose to trust Su Qingya's judgment at this time.

The seventh level of the Heavenly God Transformation had already propelled Ye Qingge's strength from the peak of the third level to the late stage of the fifth level. When the eighth and ninth levels opened, Ye Qingge's aura completely changed.

Within Su Qingya's consciousness, the indescribable power was being rapidly depleted. A muffled groan could be faintly heard emanating from her, yet it brought with it an unprecedented surge of power. Abundant divine power swept over her entire body, releasing completely outwards and enveloping the entire Lingxiao Palace. Her princess-style formal attire fluttered violently from the impact of the released divine power, and the clothes even showed signs of becoming Dao artifacts, with divine runes appearing one after another.

The surging divine power suddenly leaped across the sixth level of the Dao Realm, forming a halo of Dao Realm light behind her head. In the more distant palace, Ye Qingge could vaguely sense a fluctuation forming, but she had no time to pay attention to the fluctuation in the distance.

The ninth level of the Heavenly God Transformation had just been formed when the newly enthroned Emperor Taihuang launched a surprise attack.

Do you think that possessing some evidence will shake my throne?

He stood up, a cold smile on his face, and a halo of black power forming a Dao Realm halo appeared behind his head in the eyes of the immortals: "Evidence, morality... Do you think that's what it takes to ascend the throne? Do you think that by obtaining these things you can dethrone me?"

"No, you're wrong. Only absolute strength is the key to determining the throne!"

As the last word fell, Taihuang's figure disappeared from Ye Qingge's sight.

As the Primordial Breathing Technique was activated, Ye Qingge's mind became calmer than ever before. Under the nurturing of the nine layers of Heavenly Divine Transformation within his body, the righteous energy that had reached its peak suddenly erupted, bursting out of his body along with Ye Qingge's divine power, unleashing the Heavenly Demon Fox Fire.

Under the influence of the Heavenly God Transformation and Righteous Qi, the Heavenly Demon Fox Fire had completely washed away its demonic power, transforming into pure milky white flames that swept around. Just as the surging flames took shape, Taihuang's figure appeared to Ye Qingge's left, reaching out to grab Ye Qingge's left shoulder.

bang

At the critical moment, Foxfire transformed into a nine-tailed fox, roaring as it stood in front of Ye Qingge's shoulder, unleashing terrifying power that swept in all directions.

The impact was so sudden that Ye Qingge was thrown back by the shockwave. However, she showed no sign of panic. Instead, she used the impact to create distance between herself and Taihuang, keeping her eyes fixed on Taihuang's figure.

"The ninth level of the Heavenly God Transformation, I must say, in terms of bloodline inheritance, you are indeed much stronger than me. I suppose Father and even Consort Su did not allow you to appear in the Heavenly Court in order to cultivate your bloodline."

Behind Taihuang's head, a second ring of Dao Realm light appeared, and his aura rose to another peak. The corners of his mouth spread to his ears, revealing a creepy smile. His figure once again transformed into countless black forces and dissipated from Ye Qingge's sight.

"The unique nature of the Heavenly God Transformation can indeed temporarily elevate your strength to the ultimate realm of the sixth level of the Dao Realm, but so what? How much do you really understand about the ultimate realm? Starting from the eighth level of the Heavenly God Transformation, it will consume your source power. How long can your meager source power sustain you?"

"Originally, I planned to bide my time for a while, but since things have come to this, I will show you why I was able to ascend the throne."

A large amount of black power appeared in the Lingxiao Palace, and the entire palace underwent a terrifying change. This power was extremely corrosive. When the Dao Realm Divine Dragons on the divine pillars were touched by this power, they suddenly detached from the pillars, and their eyes appeared with strands of black threads, frantically crashing into the surroundings.

Below the throne, on the Empress's seat, two divine phoenixes, coiled there, let out mournful cries. The five-colored nine-tailed radiance behind them dimmed and became entangled in black energy. The dragons, phoenixes, and other divine beasts on the eaves of the Lingxiao Palace also let out cries, disturbed by the black power, flying and crashing around in all directions.

A dramatic change occurred among the celestial officials who had been standing peacefully. A terrifying black power suddenly erupted from the bodies of some of the celestial officials, which was completely different from the power that Taihuang had unleashed. It seemed that it had been planted in the bodies of these celestial officials for a long time.

At this moment, drawn by the black power of Taihuang, it finally erupted completely.

Countless black threads burst forth from his chest or forehead, his entire being being corrupted by the black power, undergoing varying degrees of transformation. One moment he was an ethereal celestial official, the next he had transformed into a peerless demon, ruthlessly attacking his former colleagues. Even some of the top-tier celestial officials beside the Underworld King were tainted by the demonic power.

The God of Justice let out a scream unlike any human's, and the third eye on his forehead was completely mutated by the demonic seed, as he attacked the person beside him.

The entire Lingxiao Palace was in chaos, with battle fluctuations everywhere. The palace's formation was activated, but it failed to achieve its intended effect and was crushed by the black power. Several demon saints tried to rush over to protect Ye Qingge, but they were forced to the perimeter by the frenzied celestial officials and were unable to get close.

"Lin, Bing... Five Elements Divine Power!"

With the Xuan Tian Sealing Magic Technique activated, Ye Qingge killed a celestial official who had fallen into madness with a single sword strike. Holding her spirit sword, she warily surveyed her surroundings.

This spirit sword was obtained from the Heavenly Treasury using special privileges. She had considered acquiring some Dao artifacts for future use, but the Dao artifacts she temporarily forged were far less powerful than those in the treasury. The spirit sword Ye Qingge took was of superior quality, enough to crush most Dao artifacts. It didn't require much power to easily kill celestial officials below the third level of the Dao Realm.
