After a moment's thought, Tantai Ziyue quickly made a decision: run! Run now, without resorting to the True Dragon Treasure Technique. If she's going to run, she must run unexpectedly, suddenly, and without being able to defend against it.

Otherwise, she wasn't even sure if she could escape from Ye Hao's clutches!

Having made up her mind, Tantai Ziyue naturally did not hesitate at all. In an instant, her True Dragon Treasure Technique dissipated, and her body immediately flew away towards the upper realm.

People in the lower realm: ? ? ?

He... just ran away?

wipe!

Good heavens, this fairy from the previous era knew how to escape!

They really have no shame at all!

"Face? When you encounter someone like Brother Hao, wouldn't you run for your life?!"

"I don't know why, I just want to laugh!"

"..."

At this moment, even Ye Hao was slightly surprised. He really hadn't expected Tantai Ziyue to run away so decisively. It was indeed somewhat unexpected.

"Can you escape?" Ye Hao asked playfully.

As they spoke, Ye Hao waved his hand, sealing off the passage from the lower realm to the upper realm. Tantai Ziyue, who was about to enter the upper realm, was dumbfounded.

With a wave of his hand, he severed the passage between the two realms. Just how far had his cultivation level reached?

Damn it!

Who exactly is he? And why does he stand in such a despicable lower realm camp?

Although it was a temporary seal, she knew very well that she had already lost the best opportunity to leave.

in this way,

Tantai Ziyue was no longer in a hurry to leave. She turned around calmly and looked at Ye Hao.

"Do you really want to fight to the death? It's undeniable that your cultivation is indeed very strong. Even in the Upper Realm, and throughout all the heavens, there are few young people who can rival you. But so what? With powerful figures from several sects present, it wouldn't be difficult for them to suppress and kill you."

Upon hearing this,

Ye Hao smiled indifferently, "I'll wait for them to come. Once they come, I'll never have to return to the Upper Realm again!"

As soon as he said that,

Tantai Ziyue's eyes were full of surprise, "You really are..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Hao's voice rang out calmly, "Arrogant? Actually, it's not arrogance at all. I'm just stating a fact. Why do you think I'm arrogant? Why do you think I'm bragging?"

Tantai Ziyue: "..."

Seeing how serious Ye Hao was, she suddenly had a bad feeling, and... she seemed to believe that what Ye Hao said was true.

this……!

When she had this feeling, she found it somewhat absurd. How could it be?

In short, she probably doesn't believe it!

At this time,

Ye Hao's voice rang out calmly, "Since you've run away, it means you've admitted defeat. Since you've lost, you must keep your promise. The Queen will come back to the village with me and become my wife."

Tantai Ziyue hurriedly said, "Who...who ran away? I was just luring the enemy in deep, and then giving you a surprise attack at the crucial moment to defeat you. This is purely a scheme. Now is just the beginning. I would never want to be your wife!"

These words immediately caused an uproar among the female cultivators in the lower realms.

"Damn it! Are you trying to force me to swear?! This vixen really doesn't know what's good for her!"

"Brother Hao is willing to let her be his wife. I wonder what good deeds she must have done in her past life to deserve such a good reward. How dare she complain?"

"The key point is, she's calling us ghosts?!"

"Holy crap, I'm about to explode! That vixen deserves to die!"

"I'm so angry! I've never felt this urge to kill anyone before!"

"Brother Hao is really something, why did he fall for such a vixen? Aren't we sisters good enough?"

"..."

"Actually, besides Brother Hao, all you sisters should also consider us. I'm awesome!"

"What enters your body at night isn't necessarily sleepiness, and what shines on your face in the morning isn't necessarily sunlight! I'm seeking the favor of a fairy sister here!"

"??? Bro, the way you said that... is really damn clever!"

Not to mention the various discussions that are rising and falling in the lower realms,

now,

Above the sky

The moment Tantai Ziyue's voice fell, she formed a hand seal and directly summoned a half-step holy weapon. It was made of bronze, inlaid with seven bright jewels, and engraved with various mysterious runes.

In an instant, the oppressive aura emanating from the half-step holy weapon silenced everyone.

This terrifying pressure was truly terrifying to the extreme.

Compared to the panicked and somewhat bewildered crowd, the emperors of various countries knew that it was a half-step holy weapon, and even more so, they knew the immense power it possessed.

This is why Tantai Ziyue's cultivation level is not yet sufficient to fully unleash the power of this half-step sacred weapon. Otherwise, let alone the limitations of the lower realm, as long as she could fully unleash the power of the half-step sacred weapon, the lower realm would collapse in an instant.

"Father, this time... the young master is probably in trouble!" said the Crown Prince of the Desolate Kingdom.

That same prince from before has now been made crown prince.

The emperor's voice slowly rang out, "A half-step saintly weapon! It seems that the upper realm is far more powerful than we thought. If a powerful figure from the upper realm were to activate this half-step saintly weapon, the restrictions of heaven and earth in the lower realm would be useless. Even... even with the young master, I'm afraid the lower realm cannot be protected this time!"

"Well..." The prince had barely begun to speak when he stopped talking.

There's no way out now. Even if they drained their brains, they couldn't come up with a solution. In the face of absolute power, intelligence and cunning are completely useless.

The emperor sighed softly, "Let fate decide! What's meant to happen... can't be avoided!"

The crown prince sighed softly and said nothing more. He had spent so much effort to get to this point and be made crown prince. He hadn't even become the emperor of the wasteland yet, and everything was about to end. Looking back now, it seemed that he had lived all these years in vain!

He... seemed to live not a single day for himself, until everything was about to return to nothingness, when he wondered if the throne was really what he wanted.

Imperial power is indeed very tempting in the mortal realm, but is the position of emperor so easy to hold?

He seems to have never known what he truly wanted! He has lived for so many years without ever having properly seen this world, and now he is about to face death, and this world will turn into nothingness.

Why?

Why did I end up like this? Right now... I truly feel deep regret.

For over twenty years, he had always strived to be shrewd and calculating, close to power struggles and far from the righteous path. Even now, he was somewhat bewildered. What exactly did he want to do sitting on that throne? Was it for the emperor's power? Or for the common people?

It seems like it is, yet it seems like it isn't?

At this moment, he gazed blankly at the sky. What... what was it that he truly wanted?

At this moment,

In the sky,

Tantai Ziyue had already unleashed the full power of her half-step holy weapon. Behind her, a crescent moon hung in the sky, containing endless Daoist charm and terrifying power, enough to flatten mountains and rivers, extinguish stars and the sun and moon, and make this world cease to exist.
