Chapter 345: True and False Empress

Chapter 345: True and False Empress

"Qin Xuan, you are truly surprising!"

"The strength of your body is something even I cannot see through. If I could refine your body..."

"For me, and for our Nether Clan, it would be a great Opportunity!"

Empress Mingyue held Luo Xianxian's fair neck in her hand, staring down at Qin Xuan's body, her greedy eyes gleaming.

Qin Xuan silently sized up the Empress Mingyue before him, tilting his head and asking suspiciously, "You claim to be of the Nether Clan, and you are at the Late Stage of the Emperor Realm, which is a bit different from the Empress Zhou Wu I knew before."

"But whether judging by your appearance or your aura, you are exactly the same as before."

"Did you defect to the Nether Clan, or is there some unspeakable reason?"

Empress Mingyue snorted coldly, "A mere King Realm, and you dare to speculate on my intentions!?"

She widened her beautiful eyes, and her ocular power erupted.

A beam of light piercing through space shot towards Qin Xuan's chest.

Pfft!

A strike sufficient to pierce an Emperor Realm expert landed on Qin Xuan's chest, feeling like someone had just let out a muffled fart.

It only caused a hole in Qin Xuan's clothing, revealing his fair skin; it didn't even leave a white mark.

Qin Xuan flicked the smoke rising from his scorched clothes, then looked up at Empress Zhou Wu, saying playfully, "You don't seem as powerful as you think you are."

Not to mention the Empress Zhou Wu before him was only at the Late Stage of the Emperor Realm.

Even if she were at her Peak period, capable of defeating Great Emperor Ziyang in one blow.

Wanting to injure him would still be a pipe dream.

He was, after all, the Chaos Hongmeng Body, with a physique that was extraordinarily powerful.

Not to mention that his current combat power, even without using the Phoenix Nirvana Tribulation, was not something an ordinary Emperor Realm expert could injure.

"What a bizarre physique!"

Empress Zhou Wu frowned tightly, as if seeing Qin Xuan for the first time. She gripped Luo Xianxian's neck and threatened, "Do not resist in vain, or your confidante will perish!"

"No, don't worry about me!" Luo Xianxian struggled to say.

Her aggrieved tears were about to fall.

She had originally come to help, wanting to lend Qin Xuan a hand.

Who would have thought that in the end, she would become a burden.

And now, her life was even at stake?

Crackle—

Empress Mingyue's palm tightened continuously; Luo Xianxian's neck had veins bulging, and her delicate face turned a deep purple.

Moreover, the Yuan Qi in her body was sealed, and she couldn't use even a fraction of her cultivation.

If this continued, she would really be crushed to death by Empress Zhou Wu.

"So, you are threatening me?"

Qin Xuan vanished from where he stood, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Empress Mingyue.

Under her terrified gaze, he threw a punch that landed squarely on her eye socket. Simultaneously, Qin Xuan easily swatted away Empress Mingyue's arm, rescued Luo Xianxian, and pulled her into his arms.

Empress Mingyue retreated several steps, clutching her swollen eye socket, and glared at Qin Xuan in disbelief, "You are only in the King Realm, how could you injure me?"

Despite her terror, the greedy look in her eyes intensified, "That's fine too. Once your Soul is wiped out, your body will allow my Nether Clan to rise completely!"

The Nether Qi raged around Empress Mingyue.

It was even sharper than the gale winds in the Void Realm.

It shredded the surrounding space, causing it to collapse inch by inch.

The boundless Nether Qi gradually condensed, transforming into a hundred-foot-tall Nether giant figure.

The giant clasped its hands together and swooped towards Qin Xuan as if trying to swat a fly.

Boom!

Qin Xuan threw a punch, and the power of eight million Primordial Dragon Elephants roared out like a raging sea.

With just a casual strike, the giant formed by the Nether Qi was utterly destroyed.

Empress Mingyue suffered backlash, spat out blood, and flew backward.

Fortunately, Qin Xuan held back in time; otherwise, if the Primordial Dragon-Elephant Power had continued to rage, even if it couldn't kill Empress Mingyue, it would have taken half her life.

Without having figured out the specific situation in the Mingyue Imperial City.

Even Qin Xuan couldn't just kill Empress Mingyue in front of Zhou Chen, Ning Waner, and the others.

As the saying goes, a day as husband and wife leads to a hundred days of grace.

No matter what, he and Empress Mingyue could be considered to have been husband and wife for half a day.

He couldn't just refuse to acknowledge it afterward and kill her just like that, right?

"Hahaha!"

"It is just as the rumors say; you, this Prodigy, are an elite even when looking at the true Hongmeng Continent!"

"I never expected that in this ruin, I would be able to find such a supreme divine body like yours!"

Empress Mingyue was injured, but instead of being furious, she revealed a crazed smile.

She roared towards the depths of the Mingyue Imperial Palace, "What are you still standing there for? If you don't act now, I will be killed!"

"If you lose Qin Xuan, Master will take your lives!"

As her voice fell, three powerful auras at the Peak of the Emperor Realm shot up into the sky from the Mingyue Imperial Palace.

Three Peak Emperor Realm figures, resembling Soul bodies, were deep purple all over, as if they were entities formed from purer Nether Qi.

As soon as these three Peak Emperor Realm experts appeared, they joined Empress Mingyue, positioning themselves at the four cardinal directions.

Above Qin Xuan and the others, they encompassed most of the Imperial City.

They continuously activated incantations, and in an instant, a Formation condensed.

The moment this Formation appeared, countless ordinary people in the Imperial City instantly exploded into blood mists.

They turned into boundless blood light, condensing towards Qin Xuan's body.

"Is this... using blood energy to continue nourishing my body?"

Seeing this, Qin Xuan couldn't help but chuckle.

Good grief, they must think he isn't strong enough yet.

They intended to continue using blood energy to nourish his physique and make his body even stronger?

"They have really taken me for something already in the palm of the Nether Clan's hand!"

While Qin Xuan murmured with a sneer, Empress Zhou Wu, who was no longer being imprisoned by the three Peak Emperor Realm experts in the Mingyue Imperial Palace, finally broke through the Seal and rushed out.

Just breaking the Seal caused Empress Zhou Wu to suffer backlash, spitting out blood, her aura withered.

Forcibly crossing through one Formation after another had caused her physique to suffer unspeakable, severe injuries.

As soon as Empress Zhou Wu appeared, she looked at the Empress Mingyue who was identical to her and said angrily, "You promised me that you would never attack the common people of the Imperial City or Qin Xuan and the others!"

"And now, you are actually using the blood of the common people to nourish Qin Xuan's physique!?"

Below, Zhou Chen and the others kept scanning their eyes back and forth between the two Empresses Mingyue.

Seeing the two Empresses who were identical, with no difference other than their Realm, they were all stunned.

Qin Xuan was also amused by this scene.

He didn't expect that after coming to this Hongmeng Continent, he would actually encounter such a classic 'True and False Empress' scenario!?

Empress Mingyue looked at Empress Zhou Wu and sneered, "Before, you were at the Peak of the Emperor Realm, and I spared your life because I didn't want to ruin our Nether Clan's grand plan."

"Now that you have chosen to degenerate, I cannot afford to be soft-hearted!"

"Become nourishment for the Holy Body together, and help Master break through to the God Realm!"

Empress Mingyue attacked, slapping Empress Zhou Wu into the Blood Refining Formation as well, intending to use her as nourishment to nurture the Holy Body.
