"Senior, did Supreme Saint leave me any items or last words?"

Shang Yaoqin asked crisply, her voice like the clear sound of water striking stone, pleasing to the ear, like celestial music.

But to Flower Yingying, this sound was simply unbearable, for it suddenly reminded her of the unbearable memories from Black Heaven.

Memories of the deceased flooded her mind like a raging river, too overwhelming to fend off...

"Just a Divine Spirit of an Emperor Artifact, daring to howl wildly before me, spewing nonsense? Let Dong Zheng Yang come!"

Xuan Guangqiao, like a demon god, spoke indifferently, exerting force with his large hand, pressing the Mountain and River Pen until it screeched in agony, cracking Dong Supreme Saint’s body, spilling blood everywhere.

"You vile dragon, I will strip your skin, pull your tendons."

Xuan Guangqiao shouted fiercely, using both hands to brutally tear off Dong Supreme Saint’s skin, leaving him bloody — extremely savage!

"In the past, for survival, for pursuing the Great Taoism, I tread carefully, with painstaking effort. Terrified of making a wrong move, irreversibly regretting it for life."

"But now, having achieved Tao, do I still need to scheme against you? From today on, it is you who must tread carefully, with painstaking effort!!"

Xuan Guangqiao split into two, releasing a Purple-Gold Thorn God Tree from within himself, blocking out the sky and sun, its divine light astonishing the heavens, reaching a different kind of Tao Achievement, suppressing the Azure Lotus Heaven Lord’s incarnation.

"Hmph, even if Dragon Sun returns, and Starfire reappears, you cannot escape death!"

"I will not entangle with you further today."

"Three moves limit; if I cannot kill you, I shall end myself here..."

...

Especially when Flower Yingying recalled Xuan Guangqiao going back on his word, claiming that if three moves failed to kill Dong Supreme Saint, he would take his own life — yet took it as nothing — her once calm and delicate face contorted immediately.

At that moment, Flower Yingying’s expression could no longer be composed.

She suddenly felt that Shang Yaoqin, perhaps due to her Unity of Heaven and Man, deliberately spoke these piercing, bloody truths.

Even if it is the truth, you cannot speak indiscriminately!

"Sigh~"

Flower Yingying exhaled heavily, dispelling all evil thoughts.

For she knew, it was not Shang Yaoqin’s fault — she was overthinking.

Nevertheless, she was not inclined to speak further at this moment.

"Painting Tao Divine Power — Memory Resurgence!"

Flower Yingying’s jade hand, covered in cyan-purple scars, appeared, and with it, Immortal Nuance dispersed, Royal Tao Marks surfaced, flowing in the field.

In an instant, vast black and white ink converged, forming a light screen, gradually evolving into the scene of Xuan Guangqiao’s battle against Dong Supreme Saint and Flower Yingying on Black Heaven.

Sound, shape, color, light, taste... all were present, nearly genuinely recreating the entire battle from that day.

Initially, upon seeing Xuan Guangqiao’s tyrannical and imperious figure, Shang Yaoqin’s expression grew serious, and her body tensed.

She squinted her eyes, speaking coldly: "Xuan, Guang, Qiao..."

Afterwards, seeing Xuan Guangqiao blocking Emperor Artifact single-handedly, capturing Dong Supreme Saint, her body immediately stiffened.

Her pupils contracted suddenly, exclaiming in shock: "What... is happening?!"

Upon witnessing over two million Royal Tao Marks being deployed, and two separate Tao achieving combat forces, her face changed drastically, gasping repeatedly.

"How, how is this possible?!"

"Xuan Guangqiao is unexpectedly so formidable!"

"..."

Clearly, Xuan Guangqiao was the mortal enemy of the Human Race, a super demon.

Yet for some reason, seeing Shang Yaoqin’s shocked expression, watching her attitude shift from arrogant to silent, Flower Yingying shamefully felt a slight pleasure in her heart.

’See, you despise me, look down on me. Ha! Look at you facing Xuan Guangqiao now!’

"No, no, such emotions are wrong. Darn it, have my pressures already spawned devilish thoughts?"

Immediately, Flower Yingying used her intent to form a sword, severing all stray thoughts.

She was the Human Tribe Leader, bearing the responsibility to protect the Human Race.

Moreover, although Shang Yaoqin was over fifty years old, having spent almost thirty years in the ’Ink Sea’, fundamentally speaking, Shang Yaoqin’s psyche was still immature and needed honing.

On the other side.

On Shang Yaoqin’s head, the White Feather Taoist Crown went from stable to shaking, and back to stable.

However, this time Shang Yaoqin’s attitude was much more proper.

Yet thus, she fell into silence.

’I originally thought, once I was born, I would surely sweep across Endless Sea Area, suppress the Demon Clan, and cleave Xuan Guangqiao.’

’Hence, I intended to proclaim to the world, make a dazzling entrance, even recite heaven and earth, only I am supreme, as Yuan Zheng the master did, subduing all great foes...’

"But unexpectedly, in just thirty short years, Martial World has drastically changed its appearance. It seems I was gazing at sky from the bottom of a well. Fortunately, I didn’t show excessive pride upon leaving seclusion, or else I’d truly have become a clown in a farce..."

Shang Yaoqin sighed deeply, her delicate brows inevitably furrowing.

She pondered earnestly on how she could achieve Tao and prove Emperor, then lead the Human Race to continue suppressing the Demon Clan!

The more she thought, the more dejected she became.

Hard, hard, hard!

It is too difficult, she was nearly unable to see the dawn of victory.

At this moment, Flower Yingying’s red lips parted slightly, saying:

"Xuan Guangqiao possesses at least three million Royal Tao Marks, enough to tackle the Great Emperor of the present age, and has already seized Western Desert Divine Continent..."

Boom!

Like a sudden thunder in clear skies, or a great wave rising on Mirror Lake.

Shang Yaoqin felt dizzy and defeated deeply.
