The conversation and conflict by the stream near Xining Village's old temple still persisted.
On the other hand, the Mausoleum of Books was eerily silent. Not a single sound could be heard.
Everyone was stunned.
No person imagined that this was how this battle would proceed.
This was the Tianhai Divine Empress's first attack.
In the space of a breath, Guan Xingke had died and Bie Yanghong had been severely wounded.
There were extremely few experts of the Divine Domain in this world, and in the hearts of the populace and cultivators, they were like gods. Yes, everyone knew that a Saint like the Tianhai Divine Empress should be at least a level stronger than the Storms of the Eight Directions, but who could have possibly expected her to easily accomplish these things in such a short amount of time?
In this fight lasting only a few breaths, the Tianhai Divine Empress had fully displayed her power, her nigh unimaginable strength and Daoist techniques, her calculations and plans that were on par with the will of the heavens.
For the sake of changing Chen Changsheng's fate, her cultivation had been damaged and was no longer at its peak might, and she was still mysteriously entangled with the Heavenly Dao. Yet she was still able to stare at the expert by the stream from the Sacred Light Continent, menace Daoist Ji to the west of Luoyang, and return to the Divine Path for an instant to kill someone, and then send her soul back ten thousand li away!
West of Luoyang, Daoist Ji gazed silently up at the black dragon in the night sky.
The moment he sensed the Divine Empress's soul from far away, he believed that he would be her first target, so he had used a Daoist technique to form the clear light and set up an array to await her.
Beforehand, no one had expected that her first target was Wuqiong Bi.
Wuqiong Bi thought that she had come to kill her.
Bie Yanghong and Guan Xingke thought that she was attacking Wuqiong Bi so that she could kill Bie Yanghong.
In truth, none of these were right. From the first moment, her goal was to kill both Bie Yanghong and Guan Xingke in one stroke.
These were not just any two ordinary experts, these were two Storms of the Eight Directions that had entered the Divine Domain many years ago!
What a self-confident way of thinking, what a tyrannical demeanor!
She dared to think this way because she could do it.
She wanted to do it, so she could do it.
Chen Changsheng gazed at the Divine Empress's back, recalling those words she had said to him at the very beginning.
”We will not permit you to die, so you will not be able to die.”
Yes, she did not want Chen Changsheng to die, so Chen Changsheng would not be able to die. Then if she wanted someone to die, how could that person not die?
The Tianhai Divine Empress stood at the edge of the Divine Path, gazing at the world below her feet, her expression calm. It was like she had not done anything, or even left.
Only Chen Changsheng could see that her two hands were faintly trembling.
To destroy two Storms of the Eight Directions in a single encounter, even though she was the Tianhai Divine Empress, she still had to pay a price.
But the battles of Saints had never been reasonable. They only proceeded according to intentions and emphasized grandeur.
Now with the dark Phoenix in the sky, her grandeur was at its prime, a dazzling golden age of brilliance.
Zhu Luo and Guan Xingke had died, Bie Yanghong was seriously injured, and Wuqiong Bi had her courage frightened out of her. Even if the hidden experts of the noble clans and the Orthodoxy appeared, they would be unable to defeat Han Qing and ascend the Divine Path.
Her opponents had never been the Eight Storms in the first place, but the monk by the stream near Xining Village's old temple, the Daoist that was just about to stealthily enter Luoyang, and also…
The Tianhai Divine Empress turned to the Li Palace.
She had not forgotten where her strongest opponent was.
From the time the battle began, the Li Palace had maintained its silence. Only when Daoist Ji revealed Chen Changsheng's origins did the Pope say a few words.
Besides that occasion, it had always remained silent.
