The improved female villains regained their memories.

There are many ways to improve one's strength; there's no need to tie it to the fate of the nation. If this thing goes wrong, not only will the person suffer, but they will also be infamous for eternity.

However, Xu Weibang did just that. He paid a huge price to merge with the dragon vein and connect with the national destiny and royal aura, and challenged the Guardian Heaven Sect.

At this moment, Xu Weibang had a resolute face, exuding an air of authority without anger. His thick eyebrows were like swords pointing straight to the sky, his eyes were like deep stars, his nose was straight, his lips were firm, and his chin was slightly raised, revealing a confidence that looked down on everyone.

From his high vantage point, Jiu Bahuang memorized the emperor's appearance.

Xu Weibang!

Emperor of Qian Kingdom!

He grew up among commoners and was sent back to the palace after reaching adulthood. When the Heavenly Guardian Sect gained power, he remained unknown and was just a puppet emperor who couldn't even save the woman he loved.

However, without the knowledge of the Heavenly Guardian Sect, he suddenly gained a True Immortal-level helper. At the same time, he concealed the fact that he knew his daughter was a villain and turned a blind eye to Xu Baxian's contact with the villain.

He tacitly approved of Song Panning's scheme and Xu Baxian's growth, secretly supporting the villains while openly supporting the Guardian Sect.

He sat high on his throne, seemingly indifferent to everything.

Until this moment, it suddenly erupted.

What deal, what oath, what Heavenly Guardian Sect...?

He doesn't care anymore.

The golden dragon roared incessantly, crashing into the upper realm's barrier. The defending divine beasts tried many methods, but none were effective.

Any move involving fate is powerful, let alone this one which involves the fate of the nation. It was a plan that Xu Weibang had been preparing for many years. When it was used now, the effect was remarkable. Even the many divine beasts of the Guardian Heaven Sect could not do anything to it.

Deep blue clouds surged, almost solid, and the royal family landed on them. They saw a gate that had appeared not far away after being struck by a golden dragon, and knew that it was the entrance and exit to the upper realm.

Xu Weibang stood at the very front, his voice brimming with heroic spirit: "Who is willing to conquer this gate for me?"

Qingmingzi, who was already prepared, stepped forward and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, let this old man probe the truth for you."

He suffered a great humiliation at the hands of Qiongqi in the battle of the capital, and now is the time for revenge.

“Alright, then please let Qingxianren take the lead!” Xu Weibang nodded, and at the same time instructed Fang Wu, who was hiding beside him, “Be careful to protect Qingmingzi.”

The shadows are hidden in the darkness, a tacit agreement with the emperor's words.

Qingmingzi swept forward, and the members of the Guardian Heaven Sect behind the door immediately tensed up: "They're charging in!"

"Everyone, stand back!"

A furious roar was heard, and a divine beast leaped out. The beast's body resembled that of an ape, with a white head and red feet, and its name was Zhu Yan.

It slammed its hands down on the deep blue clouds, and then a crimson light rose up, turning into clouds of blood mist that rushed towards Xu Weibang and the others.

Undeterred, Qingmingzi charged into the blood mist, brandishing his whisk.

"Disperse!" A beam of light burst forth from the dust, piercing through the blood mist.

Blood mist and light mingled, and Qingmingzi, though only a celestial being, was now fighting head-on with the divine beast, showing no signs of being at a disadvantage.

It wasn't just Xu Weibang who concealed his talents; so did these celestial beings who were worshipped!

Behind Xu Weibang, the royal celestial master Jinque was pressing his hands on the clouds beneath his feet, constantly analyzing them, while Biluo Xingjun beside him was unleashing his killing move, assisting Jinque Tianshi.

"Your Majesty, it's confirmed!" After a long pause, the Golden Palace Celestial Master suddenly looked up and transmitted his voice to Xu Weibang: "This is a mirage derived from the Wuhe Flower. The Guardian Heaven Sect wants to turn the entire world into their own world. Their intentions are despicable!"

Xu Weibang nodded without reacting, simply watching the battle between Qingmingzi and Zhuyan not far ahead.

In the blink of an eye, the two had fought many rounds, their demonic and spiritual energies intertwined, neither able to gain the upper hand.

"I'm here to help you!" A figure rushed out and crashed straight into Zhu Yan. It was none other than the royal celestial immortal, Longyuan Zhenjun.

He roared, his body suddenly grew larger, covered in dragon scales, and became three meters tall, then punched Zhu Yan.

This punch severely injured Zhu Yan. It was shocked and exclaimed, "The Dragon Transformation Technique? That should have been lost long ago! How do you know it?!"

Longyuan Zhenjun laughed and threw another punch. Zhu Yan dared not take it head-on and turned into a blood mist before disappearing into the doorway.

With no further obstacles, Qingmingzi successfully reached the door and gently waved his whisk at it.

Eighth-grade Buddhist artifact – Floating Cloud Show.

The gate suddenly became shaky and cracked the seals on it.

The golden dragon roared and pounded on the gate, which groaned in pain.

Boom boom boom!

Finally, with the combined attack of Jinlong and the two veteran celestial beings, the gate was breached.

If not now, when?

Xu Weibang drew his sword, and the group charged in!

The entrance to the upper realm has been breached.

The Heavenly Guardian Sect was shaken.

"They're in!" Jiu Bahuang shouted. "No need to hold back anymore! Kill them all here!"

Golden light, auspicious omens, dragon roars, tiger howls, and phoenix cries—all these sounds and colors echoed the words of the Nine Eight Desolations.

As soon as the royal family rushed in, they found themselves in a valley.

"Your Majesty, do not be alarmed. This is a physical array, a combination of formation and secret realm," the Golden Palace Celestial Master declared loudly. "Let me break the array for Your Majesty!"

"With the Celestial Master and his magical treasures here, what do I have to fear?" Xu Weibang laughed loudly, revealing his emotions in front of everyone for the first time.

The Golden Palace Celestial Master took out a bell and shook it gently. With a tinkling sound, the entire formation began to shake.

"This grand formation!" The Golden Palace Celestial Master's expression changed: "What a powerful formation! This is not just something that works in conjunction with the secret realm, but something that is completely integrated with it. Even the grand formation that Song Panning set up at Tianren Mountain is probably no match for it."

The royal family was shocked.

Xu Weibang looked at him: "Master, can't this formation be broken?"

When the Golden Palace Celestial Master looked back, the two looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.

He immediately burst into laughter: "Your Majesty, do not panic, watch me break this formation for Your Majesty!"

He slapped his chest with his palm, spitting out a mouthful of blood onto his magical artifact, the Golden Bell.

The bell rang crisply and began to shake; with each shake, his lifespan was shortened.

The valley shook, the sky seemed to collapse and the earth to cave in, and soon a road was cleared.

The Golden Palace Celestial Master ultimately failed to completely break the great formation, but he paid a heavy price to create an opening within it.

"Let's go!"

However, the path was devoid of spiritual energy, with an endless sea of ​​fire below, no way to fly over it, and countless strange tree-men hidden underground in the middle.

Several assassins scouting ahead were killed on the spot.

"The Heavenly Guardian Sect anticipated our attack; this is likely a trap."

"The spiritual energy ahead is completely cut off. Once our spiritual sea is depleted, we'll probably die a violent death like those assassins."

Whose spiritual capacity is larger?

As everyone discussed the matter, Xu Weibang was about to summon the golden dragon when he heard an immortal say:

"I am a body cultivator, not relying on spiritual energy, and I am willing to pave the way for Your Majesty."

The one speaking was none other than the Dragon Abyss True Monarch from before.

Xu Weibang frowned slightly: "Although a True Monarch doesn't need to use a killing move, continuously transforming into a dragon still consumes spiritual energy, you..."

"Hahaha, it's alright. The consumption of spiritual energy during the Dragon Transformation is nothing." True Monarch Longyuan said nonchalantly, "I can handle it. Your Majesty need not worry. This time, when we attack the Guardian Heaven Sect, we will have to rely more on you fellow immortals."

He stopped talking and charged in.

The immortals' expressions changed slightly, and even Xu Weibang's face darkened.

The Dragon Abyss True Lord was a peak Celestial Immortal in terms of combat strength. His fall would be a significant blow to them.

when--

A voice rang out, followed by a melodious singing voice.

It was the Fairy Phoenix Song, who was now dancing gracefully and unleashing her deadly move.

The dragon incarnation of True Lord Longyuan, which was three meters tall, suddenly grew to six meters. At the same time, his spiritual energy doubled, and his combat power increased dramatically.

The treants appeared roaring, but were all killed by Dragon Abyss True Monarch with a single punch.

He fought his way through thorns and brambles, charging outwards.

"Follow the True Lord!" Xu Weibang shouted, leading the crowd to follow.

The further they went, the more ambushes they encountered: tree spirits, flower demons, poisonous monsters, snake spirits... the list goes on, but all of them were killed by True Lord Longyuan.

He was covered in blood, and in order to conserve his spiritual energy, he could only use it to protect his vital organs.

"Charge!"

The last guardian was a large bear. He roared and killed the bear with one punch, then punched the center of the formation with another.

The valley disappeared, and the royal family reappeared in the upper realm.

A vast expanse of white clouds stretched out before another gate, above which stood a plaque that read: [Guardian Heaven Sect].

They have already reached the gates of the Guardian Heaven Sect.

Longyuan Zhenjun was covered in blood. When he came out, he began to absorb spiritual energy to recover and heal his injuries.

"Great! Thanks to Master Jinque and True Lord Longyuan, when we return, you and Master Qingxian will both be credited with the greatest merit!" Xu Weibang said with a smile.

Longyuan Zhenjun smiled and shook his head: "Your Majesty, there is no need for such formality. We are all old monsters who have lived for many years. Being able to fight alongside Your Majesty against the Guardian Sect has already fulfilled our wishes, and we have no other desires."

"The Heavenly Guardian Sect is just ahead." Xu Weibang nodded. "Like all the immortal masters, I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

He looked around at the royal celestial beings worshipped around him, and then at the assassins and Xu Baxian behind him.

"Roar!" The golden dragon roared in the sky, soaring and dancing in the upper realm.

Xu Weibang has finally made his way up!

No matter how many grudges or resentments there are, they don't matter anymore. What matters now is—

"kill!"

He roared, and the immortals surged forth, charging towards the gates of the Heavenly Guardian Sect.
