Chapter 1974: The Empress (1/2)

The divine king was still engaged in an intense battle against Huai An in outer space. Sword Qi crisscrossed the space with surprising sword intent. Each strand of sword Qi was blinding, shooting off like galaxies with devastating power.

The divine king was a Primordial realm expert, and his Laws of the Sword had reached Sword Immortal. Sword Qi permeated his surroundings, revolving around him like countless illusionary swords.

Right now, he seemed like an immortal of the sword. It was like he possesses a certain ethereal lightness.

On the other side, Huai An churned with demonic aura. His Laws of Darkness swallowed all light, causing the celestial bodies to dim. It clashed time and time again with the divine king’s Laws of the Sword.

The two of them seemed to be locked in an extremely intense battle, but they did not try to claim each other lives in reality. However, even with that being the case, the battle was still devastating. It caused space to distort and turned it into a mess.

They kept each other busy so that neither of them would have the energy to worry about Jian Chen.

The divine king had already reached the limits of what he could do. He was no longer able to do anything about the three Godkings who chased Jian Chen.

Right now, the heritage of the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian was simply far too shallow. Even though they possessed a Primordial realm expert, they only possessed a single Godking, the Grand Imperial Protector.

Moreover, the Grand Imperial Protector was only an early Godking. He was completely useless to the dangers that Jian Chen faced.

Through the teleportation formation, Jian Chen had successfully arrived in the Heavenly Moon Empire now. After destroying the teleportation formation in the Heavenly Moon Empire, he and Kai Ya shot towards the imperial capital with lightning speed.

Along the way, Jian Chen swallowed a few more healing pills. Coupled with the regeneration of his Chaotic Body, he recovered as quickly as possible.

Kai Ya also wolfed down pills to heal as she fled as quickly as she could with Jian Chen.

“Jian Chen, where are we going next?” Kai Ya asked. After coming to the Saints’ World, this was the first time she had left the Dong’an province. Moreover, three experts were hunting her down, so she completely had no idea because she was unfamiliar with the Saints’ World.

After some thought, Jian Chen replied, “The Empyrean Demon Cult has their eyes on us now. We definitely can’t return to the Tian Yuan clan, so we can only flee to further places so that we can completely shake them off.”

“Our greatest enemy is not the three Godkings, but one of the three vice-leaders of the Empyrean Demon Cult, Huai An. Although Huai An is busy with the divine king, that won’t last for too long. As a result, we need to find a way to escape from Huai An.”

With that, the light in Jian Chen’s eyes flickered. He furrowed his brows in thought for a while before making up his mind. He said, “Let’s go to the Blood Sun Empire!”

Before long, Jian Chen and Kai Ya arrived in the imperial capital of the Heavenly Moon Empire. Without even spending a second longer there than necessary, they paid quite a hefty price and were teleported away to the Blood Sun Empire.

The Blood Sun Empire was the ruler of the southern region. Their status was supreme, and their authority in the southern region was equivalent to the Xi Empire’s authority in the northern region. They were the ultimate existence.

Currently, Huai An targeted Jian Chen, so if there were any places that a Primordial realm expert like Huai An would fear, there would only be the eternal Blood Sun Empire.

At the same time, in the imperial palace of the Xi Empire, a beautiful but troubled woman who seemed to be in her twenties sat within a pavilion in the imperial gardens. She stared at the embroidered box she had placed on the stone table there and sighed constantly.

This woman was princess Tai’an of the Xi Empire.

“Sigh, it has already been so long, and I’ve yet to complete Jian Chen’s request. W- what do I do?” Princess Tai’an murmured. She stared at the box on the table remotely as worry filled her face.

“It’s all my fault. I didn’t think too much of it when I agreed to Jian Chen’s request. I thought it would be a piece of cake, where I could complete it easily. I never thought it would actually be so difficult now that I’ve tried it. I probably can’t even take out the box in front of aunt with her temperament, while I’ve never found a chance to give it to uncle,” the princess supported her chin with her hands as she sat in the garden, sighing powerlessly.

Now, the box had basically become something that burdened her heart. After all, she had agreed to Jian Chen’s request in the past. If she did not give the box to the empress or the emperor, she would not be able to find any ease.
