One more catty, one more attribute point-Chapter 499 - 416: Peerless Elegance, The Hero’s End

Chapter 499: Chapter 416: Peerless Elegance, The Hero’s End

The sky was dim, and the wilderness was breezy.

Huge buildings collapsed under the raging fire; dust obscured the sun, everywhere people were running back and forth, while the square in front was filled with Golden Armor Forbidden Army standing tall like a forest.

Rows of Huabiao made of white marble were neatly arranged, forming a long corridor.

At the end of the corridor was the majestic and enormous Taihe Palace.

It was also the center of power for the entire empire.

At this moment…

...

The grand doors of Taihe Palace slowly opened, and a silhouette emerged from the substantial darkness inside.

It was as if chants from the distant void were arriving, a breeze was blowing, and light grey petals were scattering across the sky.

Like a child who had done something wrong, the Third Prince froze on the spot, his face filled with shock and confusion.

“Father…”

He called out softly, but received no response.

Princess Ji Huaxi, standing nearby, also looked up, though she was somewhat prepared in her heart.

Even if Emperor Wu had truly made a breakthrough during his retreat, this battle would still be tremendously difficult.

But when Ji Huaxi finally saw her father, her heart tightened, and she couldn’t help but have tears welling up in her eyes.

Emperor Wu of Great Zhou used to be so spirited and vigorous.

But now he seemed to have entered his twilight years, with white hair and a hunched body.

The once well-fitting dark black Dragon Robe now looked loose on him, fluttering in the wind, outlining his emaciated frame like iron beneath it.

Only those eyes.

Though deeply sunken in their sockets, they still carried an imperious dignity, looking down upon everything.

“Father, you now…” Seeing Emperor Wu in this state, Ji Huaxi was also somewhat panicked, unsure of his current condition.

“They are coming,” Emperor Wu’s gaze lingered briefly on his daughter.

There seemed to pass a gentle light in his eyes.

But he quickly shifted his gaze away, hands behind his back, his face expressionless and his gaze vacant, sweeping past the lined-up Imperial Army and the Huabiao, as he looked up into the distant sky.

Almost as soon as his words fell, a black line appeared in the sky.

Once this line appeared, it rapidly expanded and in a blink, it turned into a sky-covering torrent, an endless hurricane ravaged through Central State, shaking mountains. A pair of huge wings spread in the sky; just a gentle flap was enough to split the heavens and the earth. Countless houses were uprooted, and thousands of mortals were shredded in the storm, turning into a bloody rain.

Through the clouds, two blood-red moons peeked out, those were the bloodthirsty eyes of Daoist He.

Black energy billowed around him.

More than a hundred years ago, on the Mythical Battlefield.

The scars that Emperor Wu had once left on him seemed to have completely healed.

At this moment, the oppressive aura displayed by Daoist He even surpassed the past, reaching an unprecedented peak.

“Hahaha!”

Seeing his old rival in such a state.

Daoist He burst into frenzied laughter, the clouds tore apart, and blood-red thunderbolts plummeted down like waterfalls.

“Look at you now, frail and weak, with white hair, probably can’t even hold a weapon,” Daoist He said with a mocking smile on his face.

All over the Royal City, demons danced chaotically.

At this moment, they were all laughing heartily as one massive figure after another emerged in the smoky scene.

Anger flared on Ji Huaxi’s face, feeling as if all the blood in her body was igniting. Emperor Wu had once swept across the Mythical Battlefield, demons retreated in his presence, and not just one famed Destruction Power perished by his hand.

But now, what kind of riffraff dares to be presumptuous in front of her father, it’s an utter disgrace and utterly absurd.

“Even if my father can no longer fight, I, Ji Huaxi, can still behead you!” Ji Huaxi’s expression was fiercely resolute, her long hair flying behind her.

Her aura was no longer concealed.

Like an ancient Phoenix cry ringing out, sweeping across the sky, a huge column of flame soared into the heavens.

Fire feathers drifted down from the sky, those demons were just laughing, but now they screamed in terror, because those flames contained the endless Dao principles.

No matter how much they struggled, exerting all their strength to resist.

Once touched.

The end was always the same: their bodies turned to ashes and smoke, dying a terrible death.

“Realm Lord Realm!”

Daoist He took a deep breath, his expression also passing a flash of severity.

Before acting, they had once discussed heroes over wine, thoroughly talking about those in the Zhou Dynasty who might pose a threat.

In this list, Ji Huaxi ranked high, and many people had speculated that Ji Huaxi might have reached their realm.

And now, that speculation was confirmed.

However, Daoist He didn’t believe that adding one Ji Huaxi would affect the current situation.

On one hand, Ji Huaxi had just reached this realm and couldn’t exert all her strength.

And on the other hand.

They had seven entire Destruction Powers here.

Ji Huaxi alone was simply no match.

Daoist He’s thoughts shifted, and then an interesting idea emerged in his mind.

The Crown Prince of the Great Zhou once perished on the Mythical Battlefield, and if we eat his daughter right before Emperor Wu’s eyes, that scene would definitely be interesting.

“You are too young to think that just stepping into this realm puts you on par with us,” Daoist Crane sneered.

Boom!

A black thunderbolt exploded.

The massive body of the Demon Pig appeared beside Daoist Crane.

His eyes were blood red, his body hair bristling, munching on a young noble lady from the Golden Family in his mouth.

“A delicate and tasty snack indeed. After I wreck your cultivation, I’ll have fun playing with you; might even get a litter of piglets out of you.”

The Demon Pig was full of bloody foam, laughing uproariously.

“If my younger brother likes her, I will personally capture her later,” Daoist Crane chuckled, “It would be her honor to be favored by you.”

“Hehe, is that so?”

Despite such insults, Princess Ji Huaxi did not lose her temper.

Being the most distinguished woman of the entire empire, Princess Ji Huaxi’s actions are quite fierce.

Her face was full of disdain and her aura grew sharper. Phoenix True Fire lit up the sky, warping the entire battlefield with a terrifying aura, “Don’t just talk, come and try. I’d like to see if your thing can compare to my Phoenix Spear!”

Swoosh!

Princess Ji Huaxi pointed her long spear forward and attacked directly.

Rumble!

A massive amount of power instantly condensed together.

It rapidly collapsed, metamorphosed, and then triggered a violent explosion, a huge crimson fireball appearing right before Daoist Crane.

Inside, the fire surged incredibly hot, mixed with a vigorous vitality.

Even Daoist Crane, caught unprepared, slightly changed his expression.

He first flapped his wings to fly high.

Then from within the dark clouds, a dark gold giant claw probed out, an intense explosion occurring between them.

Terrifyingly hot shockwaves swept across the battlefield, buildings collapsed in batches, and many cracks appeared on the white jade paved square.

Princess Ji Huaxi stood still, her long hair fluttering, streaks of light flitted across her reddening pupils. When the flames dissipated, a huge hole melted through the sky, with pieces of charred black feathers falling.

Such an outcome surprised everyone.

Especially the Third Prince, who looked at his sister’s silhouette with almost indiscernible jealousy in his eyes.

In their first confrontation, Daoist Crane, an old and powerful being of destruction, unexpectedly fell into disadvantage, wounded by the freshly advanced Princess Ji Huaxi.

The sky was bleak and boundless.

But now a ray of light shone down through the pierced clouds.

Some fiercely loyal ministers couldn’t help but get excited, Princess Ji Huaxi so brave, there might still be a glimmer of hope today.

But this thread of hope.

Was like a candle in the wind, quickly snuffed out.

With the appearance of the Silver Demon Bird, Immortal Corpse King, and other monsters on the battlefield.

The light emitted by Princess Ji Huaxi was quickly suppressed, constant rumbling filled the sky, dark clouds gathered, the hole just burned quickly healed, and the ray of dawn light also disappeared.

A total of seven powers of destruction gathered.

They all wore cold smiles, looking down from a high position at everyone.

“I underestimated you just now. Young yet competent,” Daoist Crane’s massive figure reappeared, his eyes carrying a hint of wariness.

“But unfortunately…”

Princess Ji Huaxi took a deep breath, her full chest heaving, not intimidated by such a scene, but instead growing more valiant in hopeless situations.

Her Armor shone inch by inch, many runes revolving around her, treasure fog steaming, and the sound of the Great Path shook souls.

Her fair, flawless face wore an awe-inspiring murderous expression. Unwilling to yield and unwilling to be like a destitute dog constantly in fright. She was ready to fight to the death, even if it meant taking a bite out of her opponent.

Snap!

But just then.

A warm, large hand gently landed on Princess Ji Huaxi’s shoulder.

Princess Ji Huaxi trembled, her initially cold face now a bit astonished, she turned her head and standing beside her was her father, Emperor Wu Ji Weihuang.

“Let me handle the battle from here on,” Emperor Ji Weihuang gave her a deep look.

His gaze was profoundly deep.

Like a dark pool with undertows, containing many emotions Princess Ji Huaxi had never seen before.

She was momentarily stunned, and by the time she regained her senses, Emperor Ji Weihuang had already stepped forward, standing in front of her, leaving only a slightly hunched back silhouette to his daughter.

Seeing Emperor Ji Weihuang approach, Daoist Crane and the others burst out laughing.

“I thought you old coot would keep hiding behind your daughter,” Demon Pig sneered, his body swirling with black mist.

“A hero at his end,” Silver Demon Bird lamented.

And Daoist Crane spared no feelings, starkly mocking, “In your heyday you were so spirited, but do you still have the capability to fight to the death now?”

Emperor Ji Weihuang, originally hunched, slowly straightened his body.

Just in an instant.

His aura suddenly became majestic and substantial, like a grand column supporting heaven and earth.
