Celestial Phenomenon Descends, Heaven's Way Rejoices! Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art Achieved Minor Success!

On this day, the sunlight was bright and brilliant.

Xiao Fan stood tall and straight in the center of the bustling, noisy crowd.

He continued to recount the story of the Ruthless Empress.

The radiant sunlight acted like a sacred coating, making him appear as if he had stepped out of a myth, exuding a unique and eye-catching aura.

"On the long and arduous path of cultivation, the Ruthless Empress never felt a shred of fear. Her character was firm and decisive, much like a peerless, razor-sharp sword; once unsheathed, it was unstoppable!"

"Facing the tide of pursuing forces, she showed no fear, resolutely striking back. With her fierce methods and decisive spirit, she swept away all who dared to obstruct her path, carving out a grand road of her own amidst the blood and carnage of the cultivation world!"

"At that time, the path to becoming an Emperor was like a steep and treacherous chasm reaching into the clouds. Resources were extremely scarce, competition among various factions was incredibly brutal, and the struggle for every scrap of resource was accompanied by blood and sacrifice."

"However, relying on her unyielding will and extraordinary strength, the Ruthless Empress fought a bloody path through this thorny, perilous journey, climbing valiantly toward the supreme throne of the Emperor!"

Xiao Fan's voice was resonant and impassioned, like the tolling of a great bell.

The surrounding audience was completely immersed in the story he told.

Some even involuntarily clenched their fists, veins bulging on their arms.

It was as if they themselves were caught in the midst of that intense and fierce battle.

Xiao Mei, in the crowd, was so excited she began to dance and cheer, "Wow! The Ruthless Empress is simply too amazing! Brother Xiao Fan, to be able to know and understand such a legendary figure, you are truly remarkable too!"

Her pretty, cute little face was flushed with excitement, and her lively, sparkling eyes shone with a fervent light of admiration.

[Ding! Xiao Mei deeply believes the story you told. Gained 1000 Bragging Points!]

Xiao Fan smiled slightly at Xiao Mei in the crowd and continued his tale.

"When I first met her, I had already lived out my second life and had long since transcended the realm of the Great Emperor. You could say that I witnessed her entire journey from obscurity to her rise to power, reigning over the world. That period of time is etched in my heart, unforgettable to this day."

The Great Emperor Beginningless in the original work certainly had not transcended the Great Emperor realm, but well... in a story, one simply brags as much as one likes.

So what if I say I've lived a second life!

Xiao Fan tilted his head slightly, his eyes fixed on the distant sky, a faint look of reminiscence appearing on his face.

His gaze was deep and distant, as if piercing through endless time and space, lost in a whirlpool of deep memories.

It was as if those past events were flashing through his mind one by one like scenes from a movie.

"When we first met, we found our temperaments compatible and our spirits in harmony. However, the path of cultivation is like rowing a boat against the current; if you do not advance, you retreat. The slightest slackness would lead to being ruthlessly swallowed by the torrent of time. Thus, we agreed to meet every five hundred years to discuss the vast principles of the Great Dao together."

His voice was low and magnetic, making people involuntarily drift into his narrative.

The crowd seemed to be able to truly feel that persistent pursuit and tireless exploration of the Great Dao.

It was a spiritual power that transcended time and space, flowing slowly through the hearts of everyone present.

"Every time we met, we would engage in deep discussions and exchanges regarding the Great Dao. Those collisions of thought and sparks of wisdom benefited me greatly, like finding a lamp in the darkness. This Seat benefited immensely."

Xiao Fan's eyes revealed a sense of nostalgia for the days of old.

His expression seemed to have traveled through time and space, returning to those beautiful days of debating the Dao with the Ruthless Empress.

Hmm... in order to brag, Xiao Fan is also diligently training his acting skills and his thick skin!

The people listened, utterly enchanted.

"Finally, at the turn of the sixth five-hundred-year cycle, she successfully broke through numerous obstacles and achieved the status of Great Emperor. At that moment, the heavens and earth changed color, all things shone in unison, and the entire universe celebrated for her."

Xiao Fan's voice rose sharply, like a thunderclap exploding in the ears of the crowd.

A look of gratification and pride bloomed on his face, as if he had personally experienced that moment himself.

The crowd could not help but gasp, their eyes filled with awe and longing.

It was as if they had witnessed that shocking, glorious moment with their own eyes, their hearts unable to calm down for a long time.

"However, not long after that, the Supremes of the Dark Forbidden Zone launched the Dark Turmoil..."

"When the Dark Turmoil swept in like the roar of a demon, the entire universe was instantly plunged into endless crisis. The Ruthless Empress, as a top-tier powerhouse standing at the pinnacle of the universe, stepped forward without hesitation..."

Xiao Fan's words were like rolling thunder, exploding one after another in the hearts of the listeners.

The Dark Forbidden Zone... feeding on the lives of billions... countless planets falling.

The scene instantly fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone was deeply shocked by this grand and tragic scene, and by the heroic fearlessness of the Ruthless Empress.

They seemed to see her standing in the endless dark abyss, like a brilliant, dazzling lamp, radiating infinite light.

She illuminated every corner of the universe, dispelling the haze of darkness.

The faces of the crowd were filled with awe and wonder.

[Ding! The crowd is filled with admiration for your story. Gained 1200 Bragging Points!]

The story continued, but it had already reached its end.

"In the long river of time, the Ruthless Empress ultimately chose to guard that mysterious and dangerous forbidden zone in her later years..."

"As I mentioned before, hidden within the forbidden zones are many ancient and powerful existences. Their power is mysterious and unpredictable; once they lose control, they will cause immeasurable, catastrophic disasters to the universe like a flood or a wild beast."

Xiao Fan's voice was heavy and solemn, making people truly feel the weight of that responsibility and the arduousness of that mission.

"Relying on her supreme strength, the Ruthless Empress established a powerful and majestic deterrent near the forbidden zones, effectively preventing the forces within from running rampant and safeguarding the peace and stability of the universe."

"However, since then, she and I have never met again; the relentless torrent of time has separated us into different spaces and eras."

Xiao Fan's voice carried a hint of loneliness and longing.

It was as if he were speaking of an unspeakable pain—a nostalgia for past affections and a helplessness toward the passing of time.

"What happened later? With the Ruthless Empress being so powerful, she wouldn't just grow old and die in solitude within the forbidden zone, would she?"

A little girl with reddened eyes raised her hand to ask, looking as if she would burst into tears the moment Xiao Fan said yes.

Xiao Fan smiled, a trace of reminiscence in his expression.

"Later, she lived out a second life, not for anything else, but solely to wait for her brother's return in this bustling mortal world."

Xiao Fan's gaze softened, as if he could see the lonely and persistent figure of the Ruthless Empress waiting.

"Not to become an immortal, but merely to wait for your return in this mortal realm."

His voice seemed to carry a mysterious magic, each word striking the depths of everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer.

In that instant, they all felt the power of that profound and great emotion.

It was a power that transcended life, death, and time, moving them to tears!

Just as Xiao Fan finished telling this story, he seemed to sense something.

The Innate Sacred Body Dao Fetus within his body produced a strange and marvelous realization.

In an instant, a mysterious and ancient aura emanated from him, as if he had merged into one with heaven and earth.

The surrounding air seemed to solidify, and time itself appeared to stop flowing at that very moment.

Immediately following, as if in resonance with the Great Dao, the previously clear sky suddenly shifted with wind and clouds.

Deafening thunderclaps erupted out of thin air in broad daylight, as if to tear the firmament into countless fragments.

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, pressing down like black mountain peaks.

A gale rose, howling and sweeping across everything, whipping people's clothes until they snapped, as if the entire world were celebrating for Xiao Fan.
