Chapter 470: Future Empress VS Hundred-Year Empress
"Lin Yuehua."
When Gu Yuexi uttered those two words in a tone so utterly flat it was as if she were stating a simple fact...
Empress Yuehua’s composed face, a mask she had maintained for over a hundred years, finally showed a flicker of change.
The warmth in her eyes vanished completely.
’This little girl...’
’Does she truly know what she’s doing?’
In Great Xia, besides those few old fossils of her own generation, how many years had it been since anyone dared to address her by her full name?
She was an Emperor Realm expert, a being who stood at the pinnacle of this world’s pyramid.
And this woman before her, whose realm hadn’t even stabilized at the Ninth Grade, was no different than an ant in her eyes.
’This isn’t confidence anymore. It’s ignorance! It’s stupidity!’
The last trace of appreciation and amusement in Empress Yuehua’s heart dissipated like smoke.
In its place was pure indifference.
She had originally only intended to test this Future Empress and dull her sharp edges.
But now it seemed that unless this heaven-defying arrogance was utterly crushed, the girl would never learn the meaning of awe.
’In that case, I’ll just erase her.’
The Divine Mosquito was indeed a fine specimen, but if its Master died, finding a new one—someone more obedient and sensible—would not be difficult.
The thought flashed through Empress Yuehua’s mind, and she hesitated no longer.
She would act.
With no extraneous movements, she simply lifted her right hand.
In an instant, countless verdant vines burst forth from beneath the hard alloy tiles of the plaza.
The vines, seemingly alive, whipped toward Gu Yuexi like a swarm of green vipers, moving at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
Upon the vines bloomed countless bewitchingly beautiful flowers.
The edges of their petals glinted with a metallic sheen, sharp as blades, and hissed faintly as they cut through the air.
Beautiful, yet deadly.
This was Empress Yuehua’s method—a union of life and death.
However, faced with this overwhelming assault, Gu Yuexi didn’t even bat an eye.
She just stood there quietly, allowing the vines and flowers to close in.
Only at the very instant the vines were about to touch her did she slowly raise her right hand. She brought her index and middle fingers together and swiped casually before her.
There was no earth-shattering surge of Energy, only an invisible strand of Sword Qi that flashed and vanished.
The next second...
All the vines and flowers rushing toward her were severed half a meter from her body, dissolving into a sky full of dancing green specks of light that faded into the air.
The entire process was effortless, done without a hint of fanfare.
Gu Yuexi lowered her hand, her calm gaze fixed on Empress Yuehua, whose expression had soured slightly.
"I told you. I advised you not to do this."
Her voice was still glacial.
Even among those in the Emperor Realm, there are disparities in power.
In her previous life, when Gu Yuexi was in the Emperor Realm, she was one of the few who had a chance of ascending to the Divine Realm.
If they were in the same realm, she could, without a doubt, completely dominate Empress Yuehua.
This was why she had advised Lin Yuehua not to do this.
Because an Empress suppressed to below the King Realm was completely unworthy of fighting the current her.
As her voice fell...
Gu Yuexi attacked again.
Her fingers formed a sword, and she pointed from afar in Empress Yuehua’s direction.
HUMMM!
A three-foot-long sword, condensed from pure Realm Power, materialized before her.
Ten different sheens of light flowed across the blade, each representing a different type of Realm Power that had already reached the Great Perfection Realm!
The moment this Sword of Realm appeared, the very Laws above the plaza began to fall into chaos.
"Go."
Gu Yuexi uttered a single word.
The Sword of Realm transformed into a streak of light, directly tearing through Space to appear before Empress Yuehua!
’So fast!’
Empress Yuehua’s pupils contracted. She could feel that the power of this sword had far surpassed anything that could be blocked by someone below the King Realm!
She didn’t dare to be arrogant any longer. The power within her erupted!
"Life Barrier!"
She let out a low cry, and a massive shield formed from countless intertwined vines and ancient trees instantly materialized before her.
But the Sword of Realm completely ignored these physical defenses, passing straight through the shield, about to pierce her body!
Empress Yuehua could no longer uphold her so-called promise to remain "below the King Realm."
The power within her surged, instantly breaking through the barrier of the King Realm!
BOOM!
A wave of power several times stronger than before burst from her body, forming a verdant green Energy barrier in front of her that barely managed to block the Sword of Realm.
The sword and the barrier collided without a sound, merely annihilating each other in a frenzy.
In the end, the Sword of Realm dissipated, and Empress Yuehua was forced half a step back by the impact.
It was only half a step, but her expression had become utterly grim.
She had broken her word.
In front of so many people at the base, she had personally shattered the promise she had made with her own lips.
The surrounding officers and soldiers were completely dumbfounded.
What were they seeing?
Empress Yuehua, the invincible being in their hearts, had been forced to use King Realm power by an unknown young woman?
Didn’t this mean that when they were both below the King Realm, Empress Yuehua was no match for this girl at all?
This... This was simply unbelievable!
However, before they could recover from their shock...
Gu Yuexi’s next round of attacks had already arrived.
"Heh, it’s not over yet."
With a flick of her hand, a nail appeared in her palm. It was pitch-black, only an inch or so long, and seemed to absorb all light.
The Soul-Devouring Nail!
After being perfectly refined during her recent seclusion, this divine artifact from her past life finally bared its vicious fangs once more.
She flicked her finger.
The Soul-Devouring Nail became a nearly invisible black line, moving with an uncanny trajectory that ignored both Space and Law, and appeared directly before Empress Yuehua!
Empress Yuehua’s expression changed. From that tiny nail, she could feel a terrifying threat that stabbed directly at her soul!
She tried to dodge, only to find her body locked in place by an invisible force, completely unable to move.
She could only watch helplessly as the black nail broke through her protective Energy and shot toward the spot between her eyebrows!
At the most critical moment, Empress Yuehua relied on her Emperor Realm instincts to forcibly jerk her head an inch to the side.
PSST.
The Soul-Devouring Nail grazed her cheek as it flew past, leaving a fine, bloody line on her delicate, fair skin.
A drop of crimson blood trickled slowly from the wound.
At that moment, the entire plaza fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone was stunned.
Empress Yuehua... was injured?
Despite using King Realm power and suppressing her opponent’s realm, she was still wounded?
How is that possible?!
Empress Yuehua herself was also stunned. She raised a finger, gently touching the wound on her face. Staring at the smear of crimson on her fingertip, her eyes filled with disbelief.
The next second, that disbelief transformed into a towering inferno of rage.
She was utterly infuriated.
