The vast ruins of the imperial palace, with its crumbling walls and broken ruins, reveal just how magnificent and imposing the original palace must have been.
The flames of war spread everywhere, turning the entire sky and space a fiery red.
The cries of children, the wails of civilians, and the roars of soldiers converged into a tragic and desperate melody that echoed throughout the palace.
Above the sky, countless thunder dragons emerged from the clouds, their heads flashing with fierce light as they breathed out bursts of lightning.
Above those thunder dragons, a seemingly intangible, ethereal man gazed down at the war-torn empire with utter indifference.
Beneath the sky, above the empire, hundreds of armored soldiers, wielding spears, swords, or knives, stood listlessly, as if fighting to the death as the last bastion of the dynasty.
Leading these hundreds of soldiers was Empress Hong Ying, clad in red armor stained with dark red blood, both heroic and tragically beautiful.
As Hong Ying watched these scenes unfold, memories flooded her mind like a tidal wave.
This is Hong Ying's first incarnation, when she was the Empress of the Cloud Phoenix Empire, conquering the Heavenly Road and giving people from the Wilderness Realm the opportunity to step into other realms, thus waging war against the heavens.
However, at this point, the Cloud Phoenix Empire was destined to fail and perish.
With the fall of the empire and the suppression of the Nine Heavens Division, Hong Ying died in battle but was reborn through the Nine Revolutions Samsara Art.
Seeing this scene, Hong Ying couldn't help but feel a little sad and her heart was heavy.
It was a terrible time... So many people died, so many of my men.
Hong Ying was lost in memories as she looked at the scene, so much so that she didn't even notice the person beside her.
"It seems this is your past life. No wonder you possess Imperial Intent; you were an empress in your previous life."
Hong Ying was slightly taken aback, then suddenly turned her head to look at the man beside her, who was none other than Chu Yan.
"What are you doing here?" Hong Ying frowned slightly.
Chu Yan smiled and said, "Do you need a reason to approach me? Besides..." At this point, Chu Yan glanced at Empress Hong Ying, who was wearing red armor in mid-air, then looked at Hong Ying meaningfully and said with a flourish, "You are the person I, Chu Yan, want to approach."
"No wonder I could sense a familiar aura from you. Could it be that you disguised yourself because you're upset that I stole your Sun and Moon Token?"
Upon hearing this, Hong Ying realized that the other party had discovered her true identity.
Hong Ying's disguise remained, and she simply said, "I'm not that bored."
Chu Yan didn't care about Hong Ying's aloofness at all, and shrugged, saying, "This is your past life, but logically speaking, since I followed you into this place, there should also be my reincarnation scene."
Hong Ying had also thought of this problem.
Are there absolutely no overlaps between their past lives? Or is it that... the cycle of reincarnation in this mirror is calculated based on who enters first, thus determining their past life?
However, Hong Ying didn't want to delve into it for the time being. Although she had entered the scene of the first life, how could she pass this test?
Seemingly sensing Hong Ying's thoughts, Chu Yan chuckled, "Why bother doing so much? Why not make up for the regrets of your first life and intervene to see if you can change the ending? Anyway, it won't change the existing ending."
Upon hearing this, Hong Ying glanced at Chu Yan.
Indeed, the regrets of her first life accompanied Hong Ying through nine reincarnations.
This has always been a knot in her heart.
Judging from the current situation...
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Cloud Phoenix Empire will be completely destroyed.
All the soldiers died, the Grand Preceptor perished, the Nine Heavens Division was suppressed, and Hong Ying's physical body was destroyed, plunging her into reincarnation.
Hong Ying looked up at the thunder dragons emerging from the clouds, and the ethereal man standing above them.
With her current strength, she should have no difficulty crushing her opponent.
not to mention.
The Hong Ying now possesses not only the heart of the Wilderness Realm and the Low-Latitude Realm, but also the heart of the Mortal Realm...
It's no exaggeration to say that...
Hong Ying now controls the lifeline of the entire Mortal Realm, encompassing the three dimensions and countless realms large and small.
Or perhaps... Hong Ying is the Heavenly Dao of the Mortal Realm.
Thinking of this, Hong Ying looked up sharply at the ethereal man above the clouds.
He reached out his hand and pressed it down sharply!
The Imperial Intent and the Power of Reincarnation were unleashed to their fullest extent at this moment, along with the power of the Heart of the Latitude.
With her white robes fluttering, Hong Ying seemed to be the ruler of this world at this moment.
Even Chu Yan, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but frown slightly and look serious when he saw this scene.
If the struggle for the Sun and Moon Token had taken place here, even Chu Yan probably wouldn't have been entirely confident he could have snatched it from Hong Ying.
But Chu Yan didn't know was...
If Hong Ying had unleashed the full power of the Heart of the Mortal Realm, combined with the Imperial Intent and the Power of Reincarnation, along with the Law Treasure given to her by her master, Chu Yan would certainly not have been a match for her.
At the time, Hong Ying simply didn't want to reveal too much about her power in the Mortal Realm.
As the ruler of the Mortal Realm, if the Cloud Phoenix Empire were to expose its identity, and even the Empress had fled, it would be exploited by those with ulterior motives to attack the Mortal Realm.
The departure of the head coach will inevitably leave the defense vulnerable, which could be exploited by an attack.
Now, without that concern, Hong Ying looked at the ethereal man above the clouds with eyes full of anger.
In an instant.
The earth shook!
All the thunder dragons on the clouds vanished in an instant! The clouds began to droop, and the expression on the seemingly indifferent man standing above them changed.
Under Hong Ying's attack, the Void Man's gaze fell upon Hong Ying, a strange glint in his eyes. He smiled slightly, then vanished from the world under the suppressing force.
In this cycle of time and space, all the soldiers of the Cloud Phoenix Empire, including Empress Hong Ying, were slightly taken aback.
They scanned their surroundings but could not see Hong Ying anywhere.
Empress Hong Ying bowed towards the void and said loudly, "Thank you for your help, senior!"
Hong Ying herself looked at this scene with a sigh on her face.
Chu Yan then smiled and said, "You've changed this cycle of reincarnation. What will happen next?"
Hong Ying glanced at Chu Yan and said calmly, "What do you want to say?"
Chu Yan shook his head and smiled, "I'm just curious, the process can be changed, but the result isn't so easily changed..."
Clearly, this means that the Cloud Phoenix Empire is doomed to destruction, and this cannot be easily changed.
As the saying goes...
The outcome of things is predetermined by fate; to try to change it is tantamount to going against the will of Heaven.
Upon hearing this, Hong Ying frowned slightly; she understood, of course.
However, she also wanted to see how far the Cloud Phoenix Empire, which had broken through all the heavens, would go.
suddenly.
The surrounding scenery began to twist and turn, and the tragic scene of continuous warfare vanished like Mirror Flower, Water Moon.
Instead, the Cloud Phoenix Empire was rebuilt and rose to prominence even more gloriously.
Its exterior is magnificent, but its interior is riddled with problems...
