At this moment, Xiao Ruoli was extremely weak...

The terrifying blow from the East was a convergence of all the power generated from the shattering of countless galaxies.

In a very brief instant, this power surpassed the limits of the Nascent Soul Realm...

If it weren't for Xiao Ruoli's desperate resistance, coupled with the protection of the Azure Dragon Purple Qi, she would have been able to escape.

She will definitely be blasted to death by this force on the spot!

At this moment, she was severely injured... almost to the point of dying.

At this moment, all Dongfang Sui needed to do was deliver the final blow, and Xiao Ruoli would be dead without a doubt.

However, Dongfang Sui did not pursue.

He stood there, motionless...

The powerful aura of the flowing starry river was no longer present on Dongfang Sui's body...

Not only that, he had no breath left.

The East is shattered!

After using a power that did not belong to him, Dongfang died from exhaustion.

A long time passed...

Chu Tianyao rushed over.

He was worried that Xiao Ruoli might have been lost, so he came looking for her based on her scent.

Looking around, Chu Tianyao saw only devastation after the great battle.

Dongfang Sui is dead, and Xiao Ruoli is also seriously injured.

With a wave of his hand, Chu Tianyao put away the storage bag left behind by Dongfang Sui.

Then, he carried Xiao Ruoli on his back and rushed towards Gu Ning City.

Chu Tianyao knew that the Azure Dragon Purple Qi of Gu Ning City could accelerate the healing of Xiao Ruoli's injuries.

In less than an hour, Chu Tianyao carried Xiao Ruoli back to Gu Ning City.

Ning Mansion

Ning Zeyuan was shocked to see this.

He rushed forward. "Your Highness! Your injuries..."

“Mr. Ning, Ruoli is not in any danger,” Chu Tianyao said in a low voice. “Once you reach the Nascent Soul stage, you can almost be reborn from a drop of blood, and you are immortal.”

"Although Ruoli's injuries are serious, she can recover after a period of rest."

Ning Zeyuan nodded and quickly arranged for servants to take care of Xiao Ruoli so she could recuperate.

Chu Tianyao took out approximately twenty million crystals from his pocket and handed them to Ning Zeyuan...

“Mr. Ning, the Yan Yang Sect, the Han Yue Sect, and the Sui Xing Sect have all been completely wiped out. These are the spoils of war I seized from them.”

"Mr. Ning can handle the twenty million crystals here himself. If it's convenient, could you help me purchase some magical artifacts and elixirs?"

Ning Zeyuan accepted the massive amount of crystal tickets, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Chu Tianyao. "Young Master Chu...did you and Her Highness really wipe out the three major sects?"

Chu Tianyao nodded. "Although there were some twists and turns, the three sects of Sun, Moon and Star were indeed completely wiped out."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Mr. Ning, Ruoli and I have already entrusted our lives to each other... but I don't know much about her past."

"You address her as Your Highness, is it perhaps related to the previous dynasty?"

Ning Zeyuan sighed softly, "Since Young Master Chu has asked, I will tell you the whole story."

......

As Ning Zeyuan recounted his past, Chu Tianyao finally understood Xiao Ruoli's predicament.

"No wonder... Ruoli tried to drive me away several times... It turns out she carries a deep-seated hatred and the heavy responsibility of restoring her country on her shoulders."

"The road ahead is fraught with danger, and she is worried about my safety..."

"Now I have reached the pinnacle, possessing the unparalleled combat power of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, coupled with the Yin-Yang Chaos Body..."

"Looking across the entire Lower Realm, who can rival her? With my help, I will surely help Xiao Ruoli ascend to the throne."

Thinking of this, Chu Tianyao clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ning Zeyuan.

“Mr. Ning, Ruoli is my woman... her affairs are my affairs. I will help you overthrow the Qionghuang Dynasty.”

Ning Zeyuan looked at Chu Tianyao with eyes full of admiration.

“Good! With Young Master Chu’s help, we are better than a thousand troops! I will use some of the crystals Young Master Chu gave me to recruit soldiers and horses, and the rest to collect magical artifacts and spiritual herbs.”

"Once the supplies are collected, I will deliver them to Young Master Chu's room as soon as possible..."

Chu Tianyao nodded. "Mr. Ning, in that case... I'll go back to my room to meditate first."

After bidding farewell to Ning Zeyuan, Chu Tianyao returned to his room.

He began to recuperate and rest!

In fact, his injuries were equally serious.

That terrifying crimson moon blade nearly tore him to pieces...

If Gu Yuehan had been able to unleash another Blood Moon attack back then, he would have been defeated!

“That power… far surpasses the Nascent Soul Realm…” Chu Tianyao pondered silently. “Is it a technique from the Upper True Realm…? It’s hard to imagine how powerful the true experts in a place like the Upper True Realm, where geniuses gather, would be.”

"...The supplies seized from the Cold Moon Sect this time are worth approximately ten million crystals. Let's hand them over to the system for recycling first."

Chu Tianyao communicated with the system in his mind.

"System, recycle these materials and convert them into Derivation Points."

"Boom! Cultivation pills and magic artifacts are being collected. Dao Points are being calculated. Please wait..."

"Boom! After confirmation... Dao Derivation Points have been recovered."

"Current cultivation level is the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm!"

"Current Dao Points are insufficient to advance your realm... (Advancing from the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm to the first level of the Divine Transformation Realm requires Dao Points.) Current remaining Dao Points."

"Hmm... I've already accumulated over a million Dao Points... and I've already used up more than half of the points needed to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

He issued instructions to the system.

"System, please take a look at my current data panel."

"Boom! Here is the host's attribute panel."

Name: Chu Tianyao

Age: 21

Realm: Ninth Level of Nascent Soul Realm

Constitution: Yin-Yang Chaotic Body

"Techniques: Yin Yang Evolution Heaven Technique, Six Styles of Wind Slash, Cloud Mist, Overlord's Barrier, Heaven-Shaking Fist, Void-Breaking Cloud Sword."

"Items: Crystal Stones, Small Storage Bag, Lingxiao Robe, Conquest Robe, Concealment Bead (can be used to conceal one's aura of cultivation level)."

"Dao Derivation Points; Dao Derivation Points. (Dao Derivation Points are required to advance from the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm to the first level of the Deity Transformation Realm.)"

Chu Tianyao observed his data panel, deep in thought...

"At present... with Ning Zeyuan's supplies, it's only a matter of time before I break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

"But the peak of the Lower Realm is the Nascent Soul Realm. If I advance to the Divine Transformation Realm... I'm afraid I'll have to undergo the tribulation of lightning immediately."

"Once the tribulation is successfully overcome, one will surely ascend to the Upper Realm via the Thunder Cloud Ladder."

Chu Tianyao pondered for a moment, "In that case... even if I have enough resources... I don't need to rush to exchange them for Dao Points."

"At the very least, I must help Xiao Ruoli restore her kingdom... If it weren't for Xiao Ruoli's help back then, I might not have been able to get past Qi Mengqiu."

"Not to mention, she even saved me from Ye Linyuan once..."

"I, Chu Tianyao, am a man of principle who distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. No matter what, I will help Ruoli fulfill her wish."

"And then there are Tang Nairou and Su Yumin... Since these two women have chosen to follow me, I must make proper arrangements for them."
