"No." The Empress suddenly shook her head.
"What's wrong?" The high priest stared intently at the dangerous woman.
"You're wrong!" The Empress's brows relaxed, a smile playing on her lips as she looked at the other person, "I remember that the so-called bloodline memory inheritance of demons like you only works if you survive that one time, right?"
High Priest: "."
"You yourself said that none of your Ancient Demon Clan were able to successfully devour the Buddha, so why are you so familiar with the Myriad Phenomena technique?" The Empress chuckled softly. "If, as you say, all those trapped by Myriad Phenomena died, then how did your Ancient Demon Clan inherit the bloodline memories?"
"So, some members of the Ancient Demon Clan survived, right? In the Myriad Phenomena?"
The high priest remained silent for a moment upon hearing this, then sneered. This woman was quick-witted, but he still mocked, "Just because our ancestor survived doesn't mean that brat will."
"He can!" the Empress said firmly.
"You seem to have a lot of faith in him." The high priest squinted.
"He is my younger brother, so naturally I have confidence in him."
"Yeah?"
For some reason, this confidence suddenly began to waver.
He originally planned to stall for time until that Xiao Household family brat died in Kagura's Myriad Phenomena, then join forces with Kagura to completely devour this force outside, nipping this ambitious human youth in the bud. Even if he couldn't devour them all, he would at least take two of the Four Saints' successors with him!
If all goes well, the two factions will temporarily divide the world in two with the guilds in the Northern Lands. The capital's fortune is a must-win area, and the resources in Jiangnan cannot be missed either. As long as the leaders of the two factions perish here, there will always be a chance to annex them.
But what if that kid from the Xiao Household wins?
To be honest, ever since Kagura successfully pulled the Emperor into the Myriad Phenomena Realms, he had no idea that the kid would have any chance of coming out alive. All he was thinking about was how to restrain the outside world, reduce losses, wait for Kagura to come out, draw the hatred away, and then act according to the situation.
But what if it's that brat from the Xiao Household who comes out?
An unbelievable sense of unease welled up inside him. This might seem like a fantasy to him, but the woman's confidence at this moment made him waver for some reason.
If that's the case, I'm afraid I'll have to consider Cloud Capital's future.
Just then, very suddenly, with a loud bang, something exploded somewhere.
The commotion was huge, but strangely, there was no sign of destruction around them. Yet, everyone could sense that a force was wreaking havoc on something.
The Empress suddenly looked in one direction, a smile spreading across her face.
She knew that kid wouldn't get into trouble so easily!
--
"That kid"
Kagura was in a terrible state at this moment!
Yes, she was in a sorry state. She had been in the lead the whole time, but now she was on the verge of death.
She never expected that, in such a desperate moment, the other person would make that choice without hesitation.
Before he could even think, a violent force swept over him. Just its mere approach caused the surrounding space to shatter, completely disrupting his methods of absorbing spiritual energy. All elements, including spiritual energy, were utterly destroyed before he could even transform them!
It sounds exaggerated, but it's true. This is the first time she's seen the power that the Golden Crow Flame can display after reaching the King Level.
Yes, King Level!
After understanding the situation, the young man from the Xiao Household broke through to the King Level without hesitation.
This decisiveness caught her completely off guard!
From the beginning, she knew that her opponent, like Chen Qing, was someone who could break through to the King Level at any time, but that was a last resort; once used, it would almost certainly lead to mutual destruction.
The reason is simple: there are no top-tier spiritual energy sites within this palace. King Level life forms simply cannot survive normally. If they cannot find a spiritual energy site within a short period of time after breaking through to the King Level, they will be forced to their death.
At this moment, he only has one breath left to break through to the King Level. After that, he will have no chance to turn the tide.
The opponent had not been pushed to their limit or reached a point of despair, but after analyzing the situation, he still used his last trump card without hesitation.
To be honest, this decisiveness was a bit over the top, which caught Kagura completely off guard!
Thanks to the unique characteristics of the Myriad Phenomena, she can slowly unleash her King Level power here, and then rely on her body to gradually adapt, absorbing the spiritual energy from the elements to the limit, extracting it, and barely maintaining the body's functions.
Therefore, we could see earlier that her power was increasing and her speed was increasing, and the emperor was being suppressed in a rather disheveled manner.
In reality, unleashing the power of King Level was just a ruse. She was demonstrating the destructive potential of this world in the future. As long as she could successfully stall for time, the laws here would be fully mature, and even King Level being would be a lamb to the slaughter in her presence.
It was precisely for this reason that she wasn't afraid the emperor would ultimately fight to the death; by the time he wanted to risk everything, he would have no chance at all.
But to her surprise, this guy flipped the table ahead of time!
This is troublesome.
Although it only lasts for a breath, the difference between the power of King Level and a non- King Level being is like heaven and earth, and most importantly, it depends on the opponent's power attribute.
Destruction is a characteristic of the Golden Crow Flame. With power at the King Level, it can completely destroy elements at the current level and evaporate spiritual energy along with them. This leads to the consequence that one cannot absorb spiritual energy by relying on precise control over the world.
Her body had already been half-liberated. Although she hadn't fully unleashed her King Level power, ordinary spiritual energy levels were no longer sufficient to support her body. She needed to refine spiritual energy on a large scale to maintain her current bodily functions. However, the other party overturned the table, completely robbing her of that opportunity!
Damn it.
Kagura kept retreating, trying to create distance, but the emperor, barely clinging to life, wouldn't allow it.
It went all out, relentlessly pursuing, the scorching heat always within reach, making Kagura's scalp tingle, feeling as if she would be completely melted if she wasn't careful.
Not only was her opponent following closely, but they also sabotaged everything around them, preventing her from refining spiritual energy. She understood their purpose: to force her to break through to the King Level!
Having completely broken through to the King Level, without the previous accumulation and not yet fully mastering the surrounding world, breaking through to the King Level at this time puts the two of them back on the same starting line.
"Reluctant to risk your life?" The emperor's cold voice echoed in his mind, full of mockery.
Kagura's pupils contracted, instantly turning incredibly cold!
This guy really planned it all out. After breaking through to the King Level, the power of the Golden Crow Flame increased greatly. It could completely destroy the surrounding structure if it followed closely behind. He wouldn't have a chance to refine spiritual energy at all. If this continued, he would be unable to breathe. His breath would definitely not be as long as the King Level opponent's. He would be the first to run out of stamina. No matter how much he dodged, he would be caught up in the end.
"You're asking for it!"
Since the establishment of the Divine Martial Guild, in her memory, no one had ever driven her to this point, especially not a lowly ant!
Since you want to go head-to-head, then let me show you.
Kagura's eyes instantly turned pitch black, and an extremely terrifying chill rapidly spread around, even weakening the extreme heat surrounding the emperor.
The next instant, the entire world shattered!
"You want to fight king to king? Then come on!"
