Chapter 141: Revealing her female body, the boundless blood river swallows up the heaven and earth, and the Dragon Seal disappears
This astonishing scene attracted everyone's attention.
The many Blood Immortal Sect masters who were on the run were even more frightened and terrified, and they fled without hesitation, without a single bit of hesitation.
"I didn't expect that this battle would allow Emperor Xia to enter that realm ahead of time, which actually helped her..."
"We have been practicing hard for many years but have not made any progress. We have been stuck here, but this little girl has surpassed us and has been promoted before us."
“I really can’t accept this.”
"Humph, she is just relying on the fate of Daxia. It is an external thing without any foundation. If Daxia collapses, all her cultivation will be wasted and turned into flowing water."
The three beings who were about to enter the Jieqiao realm while fighting with Emperor Xia in the Hall of Eternal Life stopped for a moment unwillingly, then turned into blood shadows, performed secret techniques, and disappeared into the void.
If Emperor Xia were to break through safely and successfully enter the eighth realm, he would definitely settle accounts with them first.
The seventh realm and the eighth realm can be said to be one world apart; they are not at the same level at all.
The monks of the eighth realm are in accordance with the Tao, and in ancient times, they were even called the Tao realm.
The previous seven realms are collectively referred to as the mortal realm. The physical body still remains in the mortal stage and has never touched the threshold of Tao.
It is extremely easy for a cultivator in the eighth realm to kill a cultivator in the seventh realm. Even if the cultivator's physical body is destroyed, his soul can be resurrected.
As for the idea of stopping Emperor Xia from breaking through, they didn't have it at all.
Such a big commotion would have already alarmed the old antiques in the imperial capital. Unless someone really has a problem with his brain, he would not do such a reckless thing.
Moreover, the Blood Immortal Cult's goal has been achieved. As long as they activate the secret formation, they will be able to erode Daxia's national treasures. Then, all parts of Daxia will inevitably fall into chaos.
"However, from now on, there will no longer be a Xia Emperor in Da Xia. Since she dares to reveal her female body, she will face unprecedented pressure."
"hehe……"
Eyes filled with surprise and shock were looking from the various mansions and pavilions towards the depths of the imperial palace.
In another part of the region, there are pavilions and palaces with carved railings and jade bricks, which are lined up in an orderly manner.
Deep inside, the cave has a sacred mountain hanging high, a silver waterfall falling, and the essence is so rich that it is almost liquefied. Even some ancient species can be seen appearing.
At this moment, in several quiet rooms, several old men with dragon aura surrounding them opened their eyes at the same time and looked towards the imperial palace.
"Xia Junxi is about to break through?"
“It was really beyond our expectations.”
"The Imperial Supreme World Sutra that she practiced has always been missing the second half. Without the guidance of the clan office, she would have never found any clues or whereabouts even if she had been searching hard. But now, she has broken through that shackles with the help of the country's destiny..."
"Perhaps there is something strange in the national weapon. The original Imperial Supreme World-Suppressing Scripture, Imperial Supreme State-Governing Scripture, and Imperial Supreme Common People Scripture... were all evolved and born from it. She may have accidentally touched upon the secret."
The patterns on the robes of these old men are somewhat ancient, and their eyes are very vicissitudes, as if they have experienced countless worldly affairs and are full of vanity.
At this moment, looking at the brilliant divine light there, the dazzling scene that overwhelmed all directions, their eyes were cold and their expressions were ugly.
The Clan Court has an exclusive status, but it has no right to interfere in the court. After all, the royal family has strict rules. In addition to the Clan Court, there is also the Hulong Mountain which has been hidden in the dark.
However, as long as the Great Xia nation is not overthrown and on the verge of extinction, Hulongshan will generally not show up.
However, since Emperor Xia came to power, he has been reducing the salary resources of the Zongrenfu and feeding them back to the national treasury to establish Tenglong Academy, cultivate talents, prepare the army, expand military strength, defend against various borders, provide relief for natural disasters and man-made disasters, etc.
For a long time, the Zongrenfu has been the place where the older generation of the royal family practiced meditation and retired, and where royal disciples were trained.
It is for this reason that countless resources are transported into it every year.
To put it bluntly, any elder in the clan house has more wealth and resources than those of the thousand-year-old aristocratic families.
Every year, the clan government would take away at least half of the resources sent to the national treasury.
In the first year that Emperor Xia came to power, the Imperial Clan Court, seeing that he was young, wantonly plundered resources and reached into the national treasury. Emperor Xia was also a ruthless person, and he issued an edict in front of all his ministers to reduce the resources of the Imperial Clan Court, thus breaking off relations with the Imperial Clan Court for this.
This matter was no secret in the imperial capital, and was secretly applauded and praised by many ministers.
"What does Jiang Lintian mean by this? He actually helped Xia Junxi in this Southern Hunting Exercise?"
"We sent him a lot of good things over the years. Could it be that he has already reached a deal with Emperor Xia in private? He is really a profit-seeking guy."
In the clan residence, many elders had already learned about what happened in Qianyuan Cave. Their faces were gloomy and their eyes were all looking towards the depths of the imperial palace.
The entire palace was shrouded in endless dragon energy and mist, and Empress Xia stood in the middle of it, with her long black hair flying and her dragon robe fluttering. She was enveloped by countless auspicious divine rays, making her look like an almighty empress.
This is not her clone. The moment the majestic dragon energy surged upon her body, she became one with her original body. Otherwise, relying on the power of her clone, she would not be able to break through the threshold of the Eighth Realm of Tribulation Bridge.
At this moment, with the inexplicable power from the Dragon-Suppressing Seal, the entire imperial capital seemed to have turned into her body. Her gaze reached every corner. This mighty trend of heaven and earth was as majestic and boundless as a rolling river, and could not be described in words.
She truly became the master of the imperial capital, possessing indescribable imperial power that was completely incomparable to before.
If she wanted to suppress the cultivators in the imperial capital now, she only needed a thought to mobilize the great trends of heaven and earth and the destiny of the dynasty and suppress them easily.
The grand sound of Taoism resounded deep within the imperial palace, as if ancient ancestors were bowing in worship.
The slender figure of Empress Xia was sitting cross-legged there, but her Dharma body of the Son of Heaven was reflected in the sky, and the sacred light was shining brightly, illuminating the endless sky.
At this moment, she discarded all her previous timid thoughts and revealed her body as a woman with dignity. Once these thoughts were eliminated, her state of mind finally reached a state of perfection.
The spiritual energy in all the acupoints and meridians in her body was boiling and surging, just like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, connecting her sea of spirit and sea of consciousness, and building a bridge of catastrophe with surging golden light and gushing dragon energy.
Deep in the sky, thunder roared, dark clouds gathered, and the calamity clouds from ancient times reappeared, covering an area of hundreds of miles. There was an aura of destruction circulating, which could come down at any time.
From a distance, it looked like a black dragon was roaming around, staring at it with a fierce look, intending to pounce and kill it.
Under such a vast and powerful aura, everyone felt a sense of oppression. If living creatures faced such a divine power, they would be as weak as ants.
The entire imperial capital was now shrouded in the aura of a heavenly calamity. Many older generations who had never appeared before showed up, their faces filled with fear and shock.
"This is the calamity of breaking through the Jieqiao realm..."
"Break into the robbery bridge and you can touch the avenue of heaven and earth. In ancient times, many incredible scenes will evolve to block you."
"As the ruler of Great Xia, Queen Xia is granted the imperial power by heaven, and the disaster she is facing now is even more shocking."
"I am the Emperor of Xia..."
In the face of such a disaster, Emperor Xia spoke, his voice was majestic and cold, echoing between heaven and earth and resounding in every corner of the imperial capital.
Countless monks and living beings bowed down, full of piety and respect.
At the same time, deep in the palace, the Dragon Seal was floating up and down, becoming more and more crystal clear. The dragon's luck converged and continuously poured into it, and then seemed to be tempered and gathered, interweaving towards the head of Emperor Xia. The morning light was like a tide, completely submerging her.
Her breath continued to rise until a boundless and vast vision emerged behind her, filling the sky.
One after another, ancient and brilliant edicts appeared from the void, accompanied by grand divine sounds, as if an ancient emperor was reading out the abdication and passing the throne to her. The imperial power was granted by God, and the way of heaven was manifested in resonance.
Faintly, countless people heard that grand voice. An ancient emperor really appeared, resonating with heaven and earth.
"Long live Emperor Xia. Long live Emperor Xia. Long live Emperor Xia."
In the imperial capital, countless people knelt down.
The area between Emperor Xia's eyebrows was translucent and his cheekbones were glowing. There, a phantom of a bridge emerged, sparkling and glittering, as if made of fairy jade. It disappeared into the void and connected to the spiritual sea. Boundless golden spiritual energy rolled up, making a rumbling sound like a tsunami.
"retreat……"
Her eyes were shining, her mouth was filled with the law, and she faced the thunder head-on.
At this moment, countless eyes were looking from all over the imperial capital. In the rolling clouds of disaster, there were lightning and thunder. A lifelike black dragon appeared, covered with dense lightning, with fangs and a big mouth open. It let out a dragon roar that shook the sky and pounced towards Emperor Xia.
…
"This incident actually helped Queen Xia and allowed her to advance to the Jieqiao Realm..."
"She is indeed a goddess favored by heaven. These hardships have helped her to become more harmonious and peaceful."
The shocking changes that took place in the imperial capital naturally did not escape the notice of Jiang Lan in the Qianyuan Cave Realm. He sat cross-legged on the blood-colored altar, controlling the Blood Immortal Sect's Wanhua Blood Formation.
He opened his eyes and frowned slightly.
The appearance of the Barbarian God's phantom attracted everyone's attention. At this moment, the battle over there was fierce and the turmoil was amazing. The entire Qianyuan Cave Realm seemed to be torn apart.
Naturally, he didn't have much time to care about these things, but the movements in the imperial capital were faintly transmitted through the turbid blood of the Blood Immortal on the Dragon-Suppressing Seal, forcing him to devote some of his attention there.
The turbid blood that the Blood Immortal Sect used to corrode the Dragon-Suppressing Seal had already been re-refined by him using the Blood Immortal Sect's inheritance.
At this moment, he was able to fully observe the situation deep in the palace through the movement in that area.
On the Dragon-Suppressing Seal, divine light was lingering, sparkling and brilliant like jade. On the surface, there was an astonishingly high temperature, and even the void seemed to be blurred.
The spirit within it was about to transform into a dragon, and now a hazy will was born. When it sensed danger, it tried to expel and refine the turbid blood of the Blood Immortal that had corroded and stained it.
Although Queen Xia's state of mind was smooth and unified, it actually couldn't enable her to break through directly to the Jieqiao realm.
To a large extent, it was because the vague will in the Dragon-Suppressing Seal sensed the danger and had to choose to recognize her, allowing her to be infused with a huge amount of dragon energy. Then, with the help of the power of heaven and earth, she absorbed infinite Tao rhyme and built the Bridge of Disaster in one fell swoop.
If it weren't for the Blood Fairy Cult's conspiracy, it would take her who knows how long it would take to break through the Jieqiao Realm...
“If Emperor Xia succeeds in breaking through the Jieqiao realm, it won’t be difficult for her to cleanse and refine the turbid blood of the Blood Immortal on the Dragon Suppression Seal with her methods…”
"In this case, wouldn't all my previous arrangements be in vain?"
Jiang Lan frowned. His original plan was to let the situation develop without intervening too much.
But now that such an unexpected thing has happened, he has to start considering other means.
If Emperor Xia successfully breaks through the Jieqiao realm and controls the Dragon Suppression Seal, he will become even more powerful and will not be easy for him to control.
At least for now, Emperor Xia cannot be allowed to control the Dragon Seal.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lan's expression slightly restrained, and all his mind and will were immersed in the Niwan Palace.
He looked at the crystal clear leaves on the ancient vine that looked like blood-red jade. These were the result of his inheritance from the Blood Immortal Sect, and they contained the supreme mysteries of the Blood Immortal Sect.
When he was refining the turbid blood of the Blood Immortal, he relied on the magic of this leaf to suppress the rich and murderous aura in it.
It is not easy to control the bottle of Blood Immortal's turbid blood. Many high-level members of the Blood Immortal Sect spent a lot of energy and means to fuse and refine such a small bottle.
Just a wisp of it can easily corrode a Taoist weapon with traces of Tao, causing it to lose all its spirituality and Taoist charm.
If he was closer to the palace, he would have a way to use many secret methods to use the turbid blood to slowly erode and eat away at the Dragon Seal, but now he was too far away, so he could only choose other ways.
Buzz!!! As Jiang Lan's mind was immersed in the blood-emerald leaf, it began to tremble slightly, and a hazy blood-colored mist gushed out from the surrounding area.
Then, a silent and calm blood river appeared before his eyes. The blood river had no end and no one knew where it would extend to. There was not a single ripple and it was so silent as if it had been dead for billions of years. It seemed like it was the home of the dead and a forbidden place for the living.
The highest mystery of the Infinite Blood River Sutra is said to involve the first ball of dirty blood that was born since the creation of the world.
In later interpretations, it became a river of blood that devoured countless lives. Even gods and immortals could not cross this river of blood, and countless corpses fell and were buried in it.
At this moment, Jiang Lan tried to influence the Dragon Seal deep in the palace through the phantom of the blood river.
In his sea of consciousness, the silent river of blood suddenly rolled up endless waves, losing the eternal silence, and one terrifying, pale corpse after another rolled and floated in it.
And in the sky above the blood river, one could see shadows of gods and Buddhas all over the sky, wrapped in a terrifying blood light, falling down in unison.
The scene was extremely horrifying. The terrifying devouring force swallowed up the void, and then transformed into a blurry black cross crack, spreading in all directions.
As Jiang Lan's consciousness became more engaged, the black crack continued to expand, and then turned into a vague black portal, deep, dead, and cold, and no one knew where it led to...
"The blood river is boundless, swallowing up the heavens and the earth..."
Jiang Lan's face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, but his eyes were calm and his expression did not fluctuate.
The mysterious ancient vine began to tremble as his thoughts descended, and a dragon aura seemed to linger on one of its leaves...
The bloody altar where he was sitting cross-legged made a slight trembling sound as he moved, and cracks began to appear.
The many rich blood-red lights within the Qianyuan Cave began to rage and boil uncontrollably, as if being swept by an invisible terrifying storm, spreading in all directions.
Everyone who was fighting was extremely shocked, but they didn't know the reason. They could only guess whether the Blood Immortal Cult was plotting something else.
Boom!!!
The shadow of the barbarian god stood tall, using Wuganya's body as a container and carrier, and his every move carried a terrifying aura of destruction.
Unfortunately, facing the many powerful men of Daxia and the elders of the immortal sects who took action, he gradually became exhausted. Losing the connection channel to the other dimension of time and space meant losing the source of power.
Many barbarian masters who descended here through the cave container were gradually surrounded and killed one after another in the battle.
The situation was hopeless, and many powerful members of the Blood Immortal Sect also received the message and planned to break through this space and evacuate.
"Die..."
"Everyone stays here and is buried with him."
At this moment, the shadow of the Barbarian God seemed to have sensed something and his eyes widened in anger.
He let out a terrifying roar, and his body swelled several times again. Every muscle in his body looked like a mountain range of flesh and blood, looking extremely terrifying.
The next moment, his body shrank rapidly, as if it was about to shrink and collapse. In just a moment, it went from being thousands of feet tall to being as small as a fist.
That fist was not big, but contained endless energy, and with his earth-shaking roar, it suddenly exploded, emitting billions of black lights. The black light was dazzling, like a black fallen sun falling from the sky, driving out the light and bringing endless darkness.
In this horrific earthquake, all the practitioners and living beings within the Qianyuan Cave were horrified and terrified to the extreme.
All the light in front of my eyes was covered up immediately and turned as dark as ink. Even my consciousness seemed to be blind and I couldn't feel anything.
The area near Wuganya was evaporated immediately, turned into powder, and annihilated silently.
Then the scope expanded and spread in all directions at a terrifying speed. Just as he roared at the end, he wanted to bury all the living beings in the Qianyuan Cave Realm.
The self-detonation of the Barbarian God's phantom brought about a power that was terrifying and unimaginable.
The Qianyuan Cave Realm immediately became like a piece of torn paper. The void rumbled and it looked like a dead leaf in the huge waves, constantly twisting and breaking.
Fortunately, those array patterns engraved in the void revived in an instant, emitting infinite light. Runes one after another contained different true meanings, and it seemed as if myriad races were being born and hundreds of scenes were alternating, constantly eliminating and offsetting the horrific impact.
The moment many ministers and elders of the immortal sect realized something was wrong, they quickly evacuated with their disciples and young clansmen.
Jiang Lintian's face was calm. He rolled up his wide sleeves and took away all the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion who were around him. They went away at the moment when the Qianyuan Cave Boundary exploded.
"Prime Minister..."
"Young Master..."
Many people looked at the space that had been blown into pieces and almost nothing could be seen. They felt frightened and worried.
Jiang Lintian looked deep in his eyes and shook his head, "Lan'er has everything to save her life. At most, she's injured a little, but it won't be fatal."
"Inside the Qianyuan Cave, there are many arrays laid by array masters that can offset many of the aftermath just now. When the storm calms down a bit, we will send someone to look for him..."
After realizing the intention of the Barbarian God's phantom just now, he planned to search for Jiang Lan's whereabouts and take him out of the Qianyuan Cave Realm.
But he remembered what Jiang Lan had said to him before. No matter what happened in the Qianyuan Cave Realm, he should ignore him and just act according to the plan they had agreed upon before.
Therefore, Jiang Lintian resisted the idea and just took out the worshippers around him.
The Qianyuan Cave Realm exploded, and the aftermath was still terrifying. The violent energy erupted, like a star exploding, sweeping in all directions like a hurricane.
In the open space behind the mountain outside the imperial capital, all the ancient trees in the mountains within a radius of thousands of miles collapsed and broke, and many figures fell from it, covered in blood.
Fortunately, the Qianyuan Cave Realm is just a secret treasure, not a real small world.
If it was a real small world self-destruction, the power would be enough to flatten an area of millions of miles. Most of the energy has been offset by the many array patterns engraved inside the Qianyuan Cave Realm.
Thick smoke billowed into the sky, accompanied by some broken weapon wreckage and debris flying everywhere. Those who escaped from Qianyuan Cave at the first opportunity were all filled with fear and palpitations.
"I don't know how long this barbarian tribe has been preparing for this sacrifice."
"However, this can be considered a demonstration. I wonder how the barbarians will respond when Emperor Xia goes on a southern expedition next time."
"This move has already caused the anger of Daxia..."
Many elders of the immortal sects were only affected by the aftermath and were not seriously hurt.
They were all smart people and would not risk their lives for the Great Xia Dynasty. After they discovered something was wrong, they evacuated immediately.
Even the civil officials are protected by experts.
The self-detonation of the Barbarian God's phantom at most made them look dusty and embarrassed, but did not cause any substantial damage.
But at this moment, everyone's faces looked very unhappy, and many generals wanted to lead the army immediately to attack the heartland of the barbarians and slaughter them all.
This move by the barbarians can definitely be regarded as a provocation to Daxia.
"Seal off the void, guard all four directions, and forbid anyone to leave this area."
Immediately, the generals began to give orders, and teams of troops that had been stationed outside the imperial capital quickly rushed over after receiving the orders.
At the same time, the war bunkers hanging high in the air slowly advanced and blocked the retreat routes on all sides.
And just when the Qianyuan Cave Realm was self-destructing and a huge impact occurred.
The terrifying calamity clouds that shrouded the sky deep in the palace also slowly dissipated.
Emperor Xia had fair skin, a slender body, and long black hair that fell to his shoulders. His exquisite and curvy figure was concealed by a wide dragon robe and covered by a hazy light.
She stood tall and proud.
Endless dragon energy gushed out and converged around her, transforming into one solid and lifelike dragon after another, circling around her, raising their heads and singing.
At this moment, she was filled with great majesty, and as she swept her eyes around, she looked like an emperor on the prowl. Anyone who saw her would tremble in fear and feel greatly oppressed.
"Break through the Jieqiao realm..."
She felt the clear rhythm of Tao between heaven and earth, and gained a new understanding of all things in heaven and earth, and all living beings in nature.
She is different now than she was before.
As her gaze swept across various areas, even the elders in the clan residence who had been very disrespectful to her in the past could only snort coldly and look away, not daring to look her in the face.
As for the people who were kneeling and prostrating themselves in the imperial capital at this moment, their number was too numerous to count.
Of course, more people were surprised and shocked at Emperor Xia’s identity at this moment.
This was the first time she appeared in public as a woman, openly and without disguise. In the past, there were rumors in the imperial capital that Emperor Xia was actually a woman, which attracted people's discussion, but it disappeared after a while and was covered up.
Today, Emperor Xia is in the palace, overlooking the world, which confirms the previous rumors and speculations.
The huge sensation this caused was no less than the one she had just experienced when she broke through to the eighth realm.
Queen Xia gently closed her eyes, and her figure disappeared above the palace. She appeared in the Hall of Longevity, looking at the empty platform in the depths. Her face was calm, but her eyes were cold.
"Do you have any backup plan? I really underestimated you."
She looked at the national treasure, the Dragon Seal, which had disappeared, and her jade hands creaked as she squeezed it.
In fact, when she was undergoing the tribulation just now, she vaguely felt some unusual movements coming from the Dragon-Suppressing Seal.
It’s a pity that at the critical moment of overcoming the tribulation, he had no time to take care of other things and had no extra thoughts to care about the situation here.
At that time, she had a vague guess...
Now she saw that the Dragon Seal had indeed been taken away by the Blood Immortal Cult through some secret method that she did not know about.
"It must be the dirty blood. Otherwise, how could the Dragon Seal be taken away silently in the depths of the palace with so many restrictions and array patterns?"
Emperor Xia stood quietly in the Hall of Longevity, his face expressionless.
Then she rolled up her robe, and any traces and aura left here completely disappeared. Now, except for her, no one knew that the national weapon was lost.
After she broke through the Eight Realms and reached the Tribulation Bridge Realm, the outside world believed that it was due to national artifacts and dragon luck.
Since she has already broken off relations with the clan affairs office, there is no need for her to worry about those pedantic rules. As long as she doesn't say anything, no one will know that the national weapon is lost, and the elders in the clan affairs office will also think that she is carrying the national weapon with her.
The only thing she had to worry about was that the Blood Immortal Cult would make a big fuss about this matter.
Soon, Emperor Xia left the Hall of Eternal Life and appeared in the main hall of the imperial palace.
Many ministers and generals also came to report the news as soon as possible and were responsible for finishing up the subsequent matters. Emperor Xia also knew what happened in Qianyuan Cave Realm, but now was not the time to settle accounts with the barbarians.
There was a traitor around her, and the fact that the national weapon was corroded and taken away by dirty blood made her heart cold, and she needed to investigate the matter vigorously.
Half a day later, many ministers had arrived outside the palace. They all knelt and kowtowed outside the hall, waiting anxiously.
Outside the four forbidden palaces, soldiers patrolled back and forth, cleaning up the battlefield. Outside the broken Qianyuan Cave, they captured many remnants of the Blood Immortal Sect and several barbarian masters who had not had time to escape and were waiting to be dealt with.
Emperor Xia stood in front of the palace with his hands behind his back, looking down.
With the help of her maid, she changed into a red and black robe, which was embroidered with sacred beasts such as dragon and phoenix using gold thread and thousand-year-old silk, and connected head to tail. Her hair was simply tied up, which was completely different from the clothing and appearance of any previous emperor of Daxia.
His heroic spirit was accompanied by a majestic aura, a dragon's aura, and his eyes were deep. Just a glance from him was enough to make many ministers tremble with fear.
Many people feel that the current Emperor Xia is completely different from before. From the inside out, every gesture and movement exudes the majesty of an emperor, and one cannot look directly at him.
