Within the Arena, both sides had equal cultivation and stood at the same realm. Victory or defeat depended entirely on their own abilities.
Zi Shou could not help feeling excited. There were countless experts throughout the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, but how could anyone called a Human Emperor possibly be an ordinary expert?
Moreover, according to the information in his mind, even if he died in the Great Emperor's Arena, he himself would not suffer the slightest injury.
To fight these Human Emperors with all his strength was a rare opportunity for anyone.
"You only get one challenge each day. If you lose, the challenge ends automatically. If you win, you can keep challenging!"
After learning the rules of the Great Emperor's Arena, he could no longer wait and immediately began his first challenge.
Not long after entering the Great Emperor's Arena, Zi Shou reappeared, his face filled with dejection.
"I knew I would lose, but I never expected to lose so quickly!"
Before entering the Great Emperor's Arena, he had already prepared himself and had never expected to win.
He was not one to belittle himself, but he did possess some self-awareness.
Who had been his opponent in the Great Emperor's Arena?
They were all Human Emperors from the All Heavens and Myriad Realms. Every one of them was a legendary figure. How could their strength possibly be weak?
And what about him?
How long had he been cultivating? Even counting it all up, it had only been a little over a month.
Moreover, he had only cultivated. Though his cultivation had improved rapidly, his combat experience was practically zero.
This was his greatest weakness, and he had always known it. That was why he had been so excited when the Great Emperor's Arena appeared.
In contrast, those Human Emperors of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms had all endured brutal slaughter before finally reaching the pinnacle.
One had zero combat experience, while the other had killed beyond count. No matter how he looked at it, he had no chance of winning.
Still, it was a battle at the same realm. In his view, even if he could not win, he should at least have been able to last for some time.
He had overestimated himself. The terror of a Human Emperor far exceeded his imagination.
One move! Just one move, and he had been instantly killed! He had not even been given a chance to struggle!
Of course, perhaps luck had played a role as well. His opponent this time had truly been somewhat terrifying.
Opponents in the Great Emperor's Arena were random. Though they were all Human Emperors, there were naturally differences in strength.
"Being instantly killed by the Fierce Emperor does not seem all that shameful!"
Thinking about it, that was right! That was the Fierce Emperor. Was it not perfectly natural for him to instantly kill a "rookie" like him?
Moreover, now that he thought about it carefully, the Fierce Emperor he had encountered had clearly been abnormal.
He was definitely not the Fierce Emperor at the Immortal Platform First Heaven. He was more like the Fierce Emperor after becoming a Great Emperor, suppressing his cultivation to the Immortal Platform First Heaven.
They looked the same, but the gap in their strength was worlds apart.
Great Emperors had already been invincible at the same realm in their youth. After becoming Great Emperors, they swept through their age and ruled over the world!
Once they had become Great Emperors and suppressed their realms, who could possibly be their match at the same realm?
His defeat had been only natural, but it was immensely beneficial to him.
Every day, he could fight a peak Great Emperor at the same realm in a life-and-death battle. What an incredible opportunity was that?
With the Great Emperor's Arena, he no longer had to worry that his lack of combat experience would leave his strength lacking.
Unfortunately, there was only one challenge opportunity per day. If he wanted to enter the Great Emperor's Arena again, he could only wait until tomorrow.
The next day, after Morning Court, Zi Shou once again "ran into" Su Daji in the Inner Palace.
Such scenes had occurred at least dozens of times, and he had long since grown accustomed to them.
After failing several times, Su Daji had completely abandoned her originally delicate and coquettish appearance.
Every day, she changed her makeup and attire in every possible way, wearing increasingly revealing clothes, just short of undressing before him.
Combined with the Nine-Tailed Fox's Bewitchment Technique being unleashed at full force, ordinary men simply could not resist.
But as his cultivation grew higher and higher, his resistance to the Nine-Tailed Fox's Bewitchment Technique also increased.
Furthermore, the Bodhi Ancient Tree allowed him to maintain mental clarity at all times. No matter how hard the Nine-Tailed Fox tried, she could not bewitch him.
But this time was different. The moment he saw Su Daji, blazing desire rose within his heart.
This should have been normal. He had already experienced the Nine-Tailed Fox's Bewitchment Technique many times.
Yet at this moment, the fire of desire in his heart was more than ten times stronger than before, as if flames could burst from his eyes.
The more he looked at Su Daji, the more dazzling and alluring she appeared. He wished he could immediately pull her into his arms.
Moreover, although he had forcibly restrained himself from moving, Su Daji had already fallen into his embrace.
"Your Majesty!" Su Daji's eyes brimmed with springtime affection, and Zi Shou gradually lost himself.
He did not know how he had become lost. When he regained his senses, he discovered that he was in a mysterious state.
His soul floated outside his body, allowing him to clearly see his own body and Su Daji.
At that moment, his body was following its primal instincts and had already begun to remove its clothes.
He could not help but panic. This was the Inner Palace, but they were not in a bedchamber.
Even if he truly could not endure it, they should at least go to a room. What kind of place was this for such a thing?
Yet no matter how he struggled, he could not regain control of his body. At this moment, he was more like a spectator.
"What is going on? Why has the Nine-Tailed Fox's Bewitchment Technique suddenly become so powerful?"
There were too many things he did not understand. It was not as if he had never encountered the Nine-Tailed Fox's Bewitchment Technique before. He should not have fallen for it so easily again.
But this time, the Nine-Tailed Fox's Bewitchment Technique was clearly dozens of times stronger. Had she used some method?
But he was the Human Sovereign. If the Nine-Tailed Fox dared use Dao arts against him, she would immediately be annihilated in body and soul by the backlash of Human Path Luck.
And what about his current state? His soul was floating outside, and he could not control his body. What exactly was happening?
Watching King Zhou remove his clothes, the smug look on Su Daji's face flashed away.
"Hmph! I specifically found the Desire Spirit Flower this time. Let us see if you still refuse to submit obediently!"
After failing again and again, she felt both anxious and deeply humiliated.
She was the ruler of the Fox Clan, born with natural charm. This body of hers possessed beauty capable of toppling kingdoms, yet she could not even bewitch a mere mortal?
After exhausting endless effort, she had finally obtained the Desire Spirit Flower. Now, she would finally succeed.
Though the Desire Spirit Flower was not some heavenly treasure, it was the fiercest aphrodisiac in the world.
Even cultivators who had attained the Dao and become immortals could not resist the Desire Spirit Flower. How could the mortal before her possibly resist it?
Sure enough, everything unfolded exactly as she had expected. King Zhou was consumed by desire and already powerless to resist.
As long as she could consummate things with King Zhou, with her methods, would it not be easy to make King Zhou neglect Morning Court from then on?
At that time, she could smoothly complete the task assigned by Nuwa Saint and no longer need to live in fear.
"Playing hard to get now? The Nine-Tailed Fox must be feeling rather pleased with herself."
After struggling for some time to no effect, he simply stopped struggling.
Because once he thought about it carefully, what was happening before him was not actually a major matter.
As a king, having three thousand beauties in the Inner Palace was perfectly ordinary, even if Su Daji before him was actually the Nine-Tailed Fox.
Strictly speaking, even among the Human Race, this was not particularly significant.
Xuanyuan, one of the Three Sovereigns, took three thousand women and attained perfect Merit. That matter had been passed down to this day and had instead become a celebrated tale.
And among Human Sovereign Xuanyuan's Inner Palace, there had not merely been women of the Human Race. There had also been quite a few women from other races.
Emperor Yu, one of the Five Emperors, had Tushan-shi as his wife. She was even an ancestor of the Fox Clan, and this was no secret.
Thus, having one more Nine-Tailed Fox in his Inner Palace was not actually a major issue.
He had always been wary of Su Daji only because he knew her purpose.
It was precisely because Goddess Nüwa was involved that he had not told Grand Tutor Wen about this matter.
Otherwise, he would have long since had Grand Tutor Wen kill Su Daji. Why would he have allowed her to live until now?
Of course, that was also because he believed Su Daji posed no threat to him, so he had allowed things to continue.
And now, even if he shared pleasure with Su Daji, as long as he remained clear-headed, it would likewise not be a major matter.
At worst, he could have Grand Tutor Wen enter the palace tomorrow. After killing the Nine-Tailed Fox, he could still eliminate all future trouble.
Once he thought of it that way, he immediately calmed down and instead watched everything before him with great interest.
It had to be said that when it came to bewitching men, the Nine-Tailed Fox was absolutely an expert. This was her natural talent!
No wonder fox spirits were always indispensable characters in those demon tales of later generations.
Just like now, although his body was clearly burning with desire, Su Daji still insisted on putting on an act of refusing while welcoming.
No matter what kind of man he was, in such a situation, he would likely sink completely into depravity.
