Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

Wasn't I saving people?

How did I end up being held in the arms of my own empress?

This doesn't make sense!

Followed by.

Then an even more unscientific scene unfolded: Jun Hongyan also stretched out her palm, and a wisp of spiritual energy shot up from behind her.

The dragon and phoenix frolicked among the spiritual energy. When they sensed the approaching palm strike of the Ghost Butcher, the dragon and phoenix phantoms each let out a solemn cry and then departed in a frenzy.

A crack spread out from the main avenue of the imperial city.

The onlookers all squinted, watching the scene unfold.

Jun Hongyan is actually a Transcendent Realm expert.

A Transcendent Realm expert at such a young age...

Not only was she a master of profound arts, but her palm strike just now actually blocked Gui Tu's killing move!

Ghost Butcher's pupils contracted sharply.

"Self-transcendence? You've actually reached the Reincarnation Realm?"

"No, this isn't the Wheel of Reincarnation; you're only at the Profound Realm stage!?"

Su Liang was also stunned. He probably wouldn't be able to completely block such a palm strike.

He immediately remembered that the goddess had told him that she and Jun Hongyan were still a hundred years apart.

Now he finally understood.

He stopped and took Jun Hongyan's hand, only to find that her palm was ice cold.

"Are you injured?"

That palm strike was, after all, delivered by a terrestrial immortal. It was already difficult for Jun Hongyan, who was not an immortal, to withstand it, so it was only natural that she was injured.

"No problem!"

At this moment, Yama and Ghost Butcher approached again at an extremely fast speed.

Jun Hongyan took another step forward, but was suddenly pulled back by Su Liang.

With a solemn expression, he shielded Jun Hongyan behind him.

The latter's expression shifted slightly, yet he inexplicably accepted the gesture.

Is he going to protect me...?

Upon seeing this, the two Venerables merely sneered.

"You two are truly in love, so let them become a pair of star-crossed lovers!"

The Fifth Prince also laughed. Even a fool could see that Jun Hongyan could no longer stop the two Venerables, and Su Liang was even less likely to create a miracle.

Two terrestrial deities are enough to overthrow them!

Ghost Butcher's figure was several feet off the ground, but as he leaped forward, the shockwave he generated still lifted the stone bricks paving the street.

Yama followed closely behind, his hands forming various hand seals, and several black shadows coalesced beneath him.

These dark figures were even faster than them, skimming the ground as they swiftly moved towards where Jun Hongyan and Su Liang were.

But at that moment, a dazzling light suddenly shone beneath Su Liang's feet.

In the blink of an eye, a massive formation, different from the Zhanwu Killing Formation, enveloped the entire imperial city.

Its name is—

"Imperial Extermination Evil Formation!"

This formation was none other than a one-time supreme formation rewarded by the system a long time ago, and it was Su Liang's true reliance for this trip.

Slay the immortals, destroy the gods, and exterminate evil with imperial might!

In an instant.

A strange power emanated from the array.

Immediately, countless golden threads appeared, like a net covering the entire imperial city.

Both terrestrial immortals frowned as they saw the grand formation unfold in an instant.

With their cultivation level, they couldn't sense the grade of this great formation.

"What kind of formation is this?" Yama asked.

“I’ve never seen anything like it before,” Ghost Butcher replied.

"But it doesn't seem to have any special features..."

But at that moment, Su Liang had a sudden thought and activated the Imperial Extermination Evil Array.

Countless golden threads shot towards the ground from the sky.

Those golden threads seemed to be able to penetrate all things in time.

First, the Third Prince's remaining 30,000 soldiers were all pierced by the golden threads, yet not a single drop of blood mist was released, and the entire imperial city was filled with golden light.

Thirty thousand loyal followers were wiped out in a single day!

Immediately, countless golden threads cascaded down, easily pinpointing the dark figure on the ground. The figure then began to dissolve, shrinking into a pool of blood.

Yanluo's eyebrows twitched. This black shadow was his secret technique, cultivated with pure blood energy, capable of instantly devouring those at the Tongxuan level. Yet it was neutralized just like that?

Immediately afterwards, the threads moved toward the two deities.

Yama was unconvinced and raised his palm to strike.

Then, something strange happened: the golden thread pierced through his palm and then stabbed into his palm.

His face paled in horror, and he hurriedly retreated, forcefully pulling his hand out from under the gold thread, leaving an irreparable bloodstain on his palm.

Ghost Butcher's situation was no better. Those golden threads seemed to be from another world, and nothing could stop them. He could only retreat in a sorry state.

During this time, they were pierced by the golden threads, and several bloody holes appeared on their bodies, constantly oozing blood.

It's truly bizarre that with their cultivation levels, they are unable to repair such wounds!

(I call this chapter a "face-slapping moment." Some people said the male lead was so stupid he went out to give himself away for free, and that he was brainless. So here's the question—did you really understand the big foreshadowing I left?)

Chapter 194 A Battle That Shocked the World (Fifth Update)

The other palace masters who followed were not so lucky.

Entangled in golden threads, he was strangled to death.

Even a master of profound understanding is no match for such a formation, like a pig or a dog.

Seeing this, the two Yama and Ghost Butchers could only retreat hastily, trying to escape.

These golden threads must be pulled out of the array's range!

At this moment, even though Yama and Ghost Butcher were two terrestrial immortals, they were unable to withstand the strange formation.

After being injured, he retreated towards the outside of the imperial city, and with a few flashes, he made his escape.

The Fifth Prince was completely stunned. The two powerful figures who were so arrogant just moments before had now abandoned him and run away without a care in the world.

Su Liang did not force the two to stay, but instead looked coldly at the Fifth Prince, with several strands of golden hair hanging down.

The golden threads, which even terrestrial immortals could not stop, were seen by the Fifth Prince as a judge who would take lives.

He ran backward in terror, but his speed was no match for the two Venerable Ones. He was quickly entangled by the golden threads and strangled on the spot.

Even after his death, his face remained filled with terror. This prince, who had just been enjoying unparalleled fame, met an extremely tragic end.

The 30,000 soldiers who were loyal to the Fifth Prince also perished under the Emperor's Evil-Slaying Formation.

World War I shocked the world!

Su Liang deactivated the formation, and the surroundings fell silent.

Suddenly, cheers erupted from the surrounding area. The soldiers who had witnessed it all knelt on one knee, shouting in unison,

"Mars!"

"Mars!"

"God of War! God of War!!"

Above the sky, a cool and aloof figure, like a fairy from the moon palace, was hiding among the white clouds. She was Ning Zhexian, who had arrived here long ago.

Even she was shocked by the combat power that Su Liang had displayed.

"His growth rate is already like that of a monster..."

Everything went much more smoothly after that. Jun Hongyan cleaned up the mess, reorganized the army, and immediately sent people to repair the areas in the imperial city that had been damaged by the battle.

Only then did the common people dare to show their faces, and soon, someone issued an edict from the Star-Picking Platform.

Five days from now, the Empress will hold her coronation ceremony!

At the same time, the deeds of Su Liang, the greatest contributor of yesterday, were also announced to the world.

That was to use an unparalleled formation to annihilate 30,000 enemy soldiers, severely injure two terrestrial immortals, and force them to retreat!

When this news spread, the whole world was shocked.

The name Su Liang appeared frequently in everyone's minds again.

With the cultivation level of the Life Palace, he forced back a terrestrial immortal—some people wouldn't even dare to dream of doing such a thing!

They did notice that Su Liang relied on a supreme formation, which made many people dare not have any ulterior motives.

For example, the three old enemies of Su Liang—the Southern Underworld Holy Land, the Yin-Yang Dao Sect, and the Desolate Heaven Sect—have all temporarily suppressed their desire to kill Su Liang.

After all, if you want to kill Su Liang, you have to see if your sect can afford to play the game. He has such a powerful formation in his hands that one or two terrestrial immortals can't gain any advantage at all!

The dust has finally settled. In guarding the imperial city, Su Liang has experienced several battles and gained a great deal.

Jun Hongyan returned to the palace, while he went back to the princess's residence, spending the entire night processing what he had learned from the battle.

The most direct benefit of crossing borders is the ability to control details during combat.

If he were to face those three experts at the Transcendent Death Realm again, perhaps he wouldn't need to focus solely on self-preservation; he could instead try to find their weaknesses.
