The Eight Empresses Betrayed Me, Only to Deeply Regret It After Being Reborn-Chapter 101: Without You, I’m Invincible

Scene after scene of grotesque brutality.

Even someone as experienced as the Vermilion Bird felt physically sick in the face of it all.

Compared to what these demons were doing now, Lu Ye’s past slaughter of demon clans could almost be called merciful.

How had it become this monstrous?

The Myriad Spirit Demon Emperor was even more terrifying than she had imagined. She saw it with her own eyes—how it didn’t merely parasitize the demon clans, but also parasitized humans, devils, even gods.

It had gone utterly mad. It no longer cared who or what it infected—indiscriminately spreading its parasitism to all living beings.

The longer she looked, the more chilled she became.

Could its parasitism really go on endlessly?

She had to stop the Myriad Spirit Demon Emperor. But how?

She looked at herself.

If the Myriad Spirit Demon Emperor died—she would die too.

Was there truly no way to extract its parasitism from a living being intact?

There had to be!

Yes—Lu Ye. She had to find Lu Ye. He would know what to do.

The Vermilion Bird spread her wings and flew toward the Great Wilderness.

—

At that moment, Lu Ye had already charged into the Ghost Realm. The Ghost Realm was dark and eerie—normally, if a living person entered, it would be like throwing a blazing sun into the depths of shadow. But when Lu Ye stepped in, he appeared more ghostly than the ghosts themselves.

The Ghost Spirit King had already received word.

It too did not return home.

Instead, it threw itself harder into the assault on the Supreme Empire.

The Supreme Empire, allied with the Mountain River Pagoda Sect, could no longer hold the line.

They could only retreat, and retreat again.

In the end, they fell back all the way to the imperial capital.

The great formation was activated at full power for defense.

Shangguan Huanling had escaped from the Heavenly Prison. She once again stood before Shangguan Hongtian.

“Father Emperor, things have reached this point. Are you still unwilling to believe me? Just let me try. There’s no other way now.”

“Father Emperor, in my previous life, I really was a Great Emperor. Now that I’ve been reborn, if you give me enough resources in this life, I can achieve the same.”

“Father Emperor, with things as they are, do I even have a reason to lie to you?”

“Just believe in me—just this once!”

Shangguan Hongtian looked at his daughter.

Rebirth... Great Emperor... Origin-Swallowing Heaven Scripture...

Things had already come to this.

Outside the imperial capital, thunderous explosions rang out. The entire city trembled as if on the verge of collapse.

Shangguan Hongtian clenched his fists.

He took out a postnatal spirit treasure.

“Show me a demonstration.”

Shangguan Huanling froze—yes, why hadn’t she thought of that? She could demonstrate it herself...

Without another word, she took the spirit treasure longsword, and activated the Origin-Swallowing Heaven Scripture.

Before their eyes, the sword began to tremble.

Streams of radiance coursed along the sword’s blade, converging at the hilt before merging into Shangguan Huanling’s body.

Her body trembled slightly. Her aura surged, and in an instant, she broke through to the second layer of the Nascent Void stage.

Shangguan Hongtian was completely stunned.

She had really advanced?

What his daughter had said—was actually true?

“Again!”

Even his voice was trembling.

Shangguan Huanling began absorbing once more. This time, though she didn’t break through, her aura still grew noticeably stronger.

“Father Emperor, I told you—I can do it!”

“Good! Good! Good!”

Overjoyed, Shangguan Hongtian immediately gave the order.

“Bring out all the treasures in the imperial palace. Let Ling’er absorb them!”

“What about the Mountain River Pagoda Sect? Tell their Sect Master to bring all their spirit treasures here. Let her absorb them—hurry!”

Shangguan Hongtian issued his command!

The capital was already under the highest state of alert. Upon hearing the order, the Sect Master of the Mountain River Pagoda Sect appeared before Shangguan Hongtian without delay.

His name was Master Danqing.

Not only was his craftsmanship in artifact forging unrivaled, but his mastery of ink and brush techniques was also considered a peerless art in the mortal world.

When Master Danqing arrived, Shangguan Huanling was already advancing at high speed. Unknowingly, she had reached the fourth layer of the Nascent Void stage.

“Brother Danqing, this ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ is my daughter, Shangguan Huanling. She came to me today, explaining that her cultivation method is incredibly profound. As long as she has spiritual treasures and materials, she can keep advancing without end. At this moment, all the spirit treasures and items of the Supreme Empire have been given to her for absorption. In mere moments, she’s already leapt three minor realms—it’s unbelievable.”

Master Danqing was shocked upon hearing this.

Such a thing could exist?

“Brother Danqing, please see for yourself!”

As Shangguan Huanling continued absorbing the essence of the treasures, her cultivation speed truly was astonishing. But the rate at which the spirit treasures were being consumed was equally terrifying.

One treasure after another turned to powder and vanished completely.

Master Danqing was utterly astounded.

This technique... this technique...

There actually existed a cultivation method this mysterious? As a top-tier artifact master, he naturally understood that all things contained an essence—especially rare and powerful items, whose origin essence was even richer.

But origin essence was an elusive, mysterious thing. No one had ever managed to extract it directly from an artifact.

Yet this technique could dominate and absorb it so brazenly.

“What is the Emperor’s intention?”

“The enemy races are bearing down on us. Our forces are already teetering on the edge. If the city’s defensive formation falls, both the Mountain River Pagoda Sect and the Supreme Empire will be history.”

“We’ve reached the end of our rope. The enemy vastly outnumbers our experts. At a time like this, I need a supreme powerhouse to help us survive.”

“With Ling’er’s current cultivation speed, as long as she has enough treasures to absorb, she may very well reach a realm beyond our comprehension. At that point, both the Supreme Empire and the Mountain River Pagoda Sect may yet have a chance to survive!”

“Brother Danqing, time is critical—please make your decision quickly!”

Just then, Shangguan Huanling’s aura surged again.

She had already broken through to the fifth layer of the Nascent Void stage.

“See? Another breakthrough. From first layer to fifth—all in under fifteen minutes!”

“Wait a little longer—let me see for myself!”

Master Danqing still couldn’t bring himself to decide immediately. Absorbing origin essence like this clearly required an astronomical number of treasures.

But if those treasures weren’t used now, they would most likely end up in the hands of the enemy races anyway.

And within just five more minutes, Shangguan Huanling advanced again—sixth layer of the Nascent Void stage.

Master Danqing made up his mind on the spot.

“I’ll have all spirit treasures crafted by the Mountain River Pagoda Sect brought here at once!”

Excitement lit up Shangguan Huanling’s eyes.

Lu Ye—what if you’re ranked first on the Eternal Heaven’s Chosen Ranking?

Right now, I’m devouring all the treasures of the Supreme Empire and the Mountain River Pagoda Sect in one breath! My cultivation will surpass yours—far surpass it!

Without you, I can do just fine!

I am invincible!
