The improved female villains regained their memories.

Most mythical beasts are loyal to their own desires, so the Guardian Heaven Sect will provide each chosen one of the main world's destiny with a brief introduction of their mythical beast.

It was only in the final battle that Ling Tianxin released most of the divine beasts, letting them descend to the mortal realm to wreak havoc. The divine beasts that the protagonists truly relied on in the earlier battles were actually just a handful.

Looking at the situation in the lower realm, Ling Tianxin pondered for a long time.

"There's even a deadly move involving luck." Her face darkened. "The villains didn't make a move, but the royal family did."

She didn't expect Song Panning to be able to remain calm even now.

What exactly is she preparing?

"The people of Qian Kingdom are united and fighting for the country. Xu Weibang actually used the last dragon vein in this way."

"They've even staked the nation's fate on this; they must be fully prepared."

Ling Tianxin took a deep breath to calm herself down.

With an opponent like this, neither begging for mercy nor negotiating peace is possible.

The only way is to fight with all our might and fight to the death.

“Uncle Dionysus,” she said, glancing at Dionysus beside her, “it’s almost time to get ready.”

"The first to attack was the royal family."

-------------

Xu Baxian wiped the sword in his hand.

He let out a long sigh, his eyes gleaming.

"This day has finally come."

He got up and pushed open the door.

In the courtyard, the three immortals—Red Spirit Robe, Black Horned Spear, and White Spirit—were present.

Influenced by the nation's rising fortunes, their strength has improved.

Xu Baxian spoke in a deep voice: "By order of His Majesty, assemble the troops and gather at Tongtian Gate at noon three days from now!"

The three immortals bowed and said, "Yes! We obey Your Majesty's command."

-------------

Three days later, a curfew was imposed throughout the capital, and martial law was declared in the entire city.

Xu Weibang, dressed in imperial armor, stood at the palace gate.

The steps below were filled with kneeling civil and military officials, while in the square below, Xu Baxian, clad in silver armor, stood beside three thousand immortal cultivators.

The royal deity stood on the step below the emperor, facing the crowd alongside him.

A breeze blew by, carrying a thick aura of killing intent.

Xu Weibang stood there, as if someone was speaking in his ear.

From this day forward, we are husband and wife.

[Xu Lang, being an emperor is not an easy thing, it's very tiring.]

Whatever you choose, I will support you.

I understand. If this is Xu Lang's choice, I accept it...

The scene before my eyes kept changing, and then it became...

"It is said that when heaven and earth unite, all things are born; when yin and yang interact, human relationships are established. My daughter, Zhiruo, is blessed by heaven and earth and fortunate to have met with such a good match. Today, at this auspicious time, we are bound by our marriage vows. I wish to grow old with you, our love stronger than gold. This letter is presented to heaven and earth, and we are now husband and wife. You will not betray me, and I will not betray you."

And my answer was...

"Don't worry about her."

She seemed to be smiling, her voice as gentle as ever: "Xu Lang, just do it. Whatever you do, I will support you."

He closed his eyes.

A surge of emotions welled up inside me, though usually it was an undercurrent; today, it finally roared out.

He suddenly opened his eyes, scanned the area, and for the first time transmitted his voice: "Everyone, the Guardian Heaven Sect has harmed my people and ruined my country. Their sins are countless, and I don't need to say anything more."

He suddenly drew his sword and pointed it straight at the sky.

"The false Heavenly Way has existed for far too long."

"Follow me, crush the Heavenly Guardian Sect, crush this hypocritical Heavenly Dao, and restore peace and order to our nation!"

Below, civil and military officials and three thousand soldiers knelt down in unison and shouted:

"I would follow my emperor even unto death!"

"I will follow my Emperor, even unto death!!"

"I will follow my Emperor, even unto death!!!"

The battle cries were deafening, and the dragon's roar was loud and clear, facing the unfathomable azure sky.

Chapter 565 Slaying Generals, Seizing Flags, First to Assault, Charging into Battle

boom!

In the Imperial Garden, a golden light shot into the sky, reaching straight into the azure heavens.

The sky roared, and the upper boundary gradually became visible.

The Heaven-Slaying Formation activated, like a sharp sword, breaking through the boundary of the upper realm.

At the Heavenly Guardian Sect, a certain divine beast hurriedly came to find Ling Tianxin.

"The royal family has led an attack on the gates of the Upper Realm!" it exclaimed, filled with shock and anger.

“Come on then, senior. Please inform Senior Nine-Eight Desolation and instruct it to proceed according to plan,” Ling Tianxin replied calmly.

The divine beast nodded and left. The God of Wine, watching from the side, asked, "Ling'er, do you need...?"

"No need, Uncle Dionysus. Your main concern should be guarding against the villains. Let the royal family deal with them."

As Ling Tianxin spoke, she waved her sleeve, and a scene of the lower realm appeared in her palm.

She looked at Xu Weibang in the picture, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Ling Tianxin was not surprised or even astonished that the other party was using the nation's destiny. After all, if she were Xu Weibang, she would also use the nation's destiny for a final gamble.

To her surprise, Xu Weibang actually planned to take the lead himself.

Throughout history, even in wars involving mortals, emperors rarely personally led troops into battle, let alone in wars between immortals. War always carries the risk of death. Even if Xu Weibang possesses a ninth-grade magic weapon and is protected by royal aura and national fortune, wouldn't personally leading troops be a gross underestimation of the Heavenly Guardian Sect?

She did a quick calculation, and her face grew even paler.

“What a Xu Weibang.” She couldn’t help but murmur to herself, saying to the God of Wine, “Our plan has failed. Xu Nianren will not rebel with us. All the work we did for him before was in vain.”

"What?" Dionysus was slightly taken aback.

"Hmph, this family has harbored rebellious intentions for a long time." Ling Tianxin sneered. "Xu Weibang has already prepared a secret edict. Once he and Xu Baxian die in battle, Xu Nianren will become the new emperor."

She looked at the God of Wine and said, "To prevent me from making the deductions, Xu Weibang tacitly allowed his wife to die, and didn't even tell his son. It was only today, when he was preparing to attack, that more information was revealed, which allowed me to make the deductions."

The premise of deduction is traces.

The more traces of a person are left, the more information Ling Tianxin can deduce about that person.

Xu Weibang is a man who keeps everything to himself. He does things without leaving a trace, and Fang Wu does many things for him.

"This guy keeps saying he's unhappy, but he actually participated in both the Battle of Tianren Mountain and the Battle of the Grasslands."

Ling Tianxin's hand brushed across the ethereal image.

When did he find out that his daughter was the villain?

What were his feelings when his wife, who had shared his hardships, died?

How does he view the protagonist and the villain?

Ling Tianxin never learned anything from his outward appearance, and could only let him bury everything in that cold-hearted emperor's heart.

Ling Tianxin looked at the screen, took a deep breath, and said coldly:

"Then let's fight. One more or one less won't make a difference."

-------------

A dazzling golden road begins at Shanglin Garden and extends into the sky.

Xu Weibang followed the gaze upwards and took a deep breath.

A dragon roared loudly, and a golden dragon appeared and disappeared behind him.

This is a killer move that he has been diligently practicing for many years.

Forbidden Immortal Path Killing Move - Imperial Aura.

The golden dragon materialized and roared upwards.

Above the sky, deep blue swirled and energy intertwined—these were the multiple defensive lines erected by the upper realm to repel this uninvited guest. A golden dragon soared into the air, each twist and turn of its body whipping up a gale, causing the clouds to churn and lightning to flash.

It let out a long howl, the sound reverberating through the heavens, causing the entire sky to tremble slightly.

The grand array of the upper realm manifested, radiating light and countless streams of spiritual energy flowing, attempting to halt this raging torrent. But the golden dragon remained unmoved. Its body blazed with golden light, colliding with the array's radiance and unleashing a deafening roar. With each impact, the deep blue light of the upper realm dimmed slightly, while the dragon's power grew ever more astonishing.

The divine beasts guarding the upper realm tried various methods, but they could not destroy the dragon in the slightest.

"Gentlemen, follow me and charge!" Xu Weibang shouted, taking the lead in rising into the air.

The royal celestial beings followed suit, and then Xu Baxian led three thousand immortal cultivators, ascending on their own qi.

Golden rays danced and soared through the clouds.

"This move is extremely complex. Besides qi and luck, it even involves Xu Weibang's personal life energy." Standing behind the Upper Realm, watching the golden dragon keep charging, the ancient divine beast Jiu Bahuang couldn't help but sigh, "Truly astonishing willpower."

Not everyone can control the aura of this golden dragon.

"Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown." Xu Weibang's absorption of the dragon vein's power, allowing him to break through the shackles of mortals, seems like a wonderful thing, but it would be absolutely impossible without the will and determination to endure pain.

The dragon vein has always existed, so why didn't other emperors absorb it?

Because it is not necessary.
