By Sanjiu YinyuWord Count: 1223

Suspended Jade Lord's eyes narrowed slightly.

A hurricane, charged with imperial power, billowed his white lab coat, but he floated steadily in the air, an unshakeable scientific titan.

"Disgusting tactics... My opinion of you was indeed correct," Suspended Jade Lord sneered. "Do you think forcing a child to become emperor will allow you to defeat me?"

Over four hundred Peaks of Merit lay empty;Beneath the chaotic sky, only Wu Qiong, her long hair billowing and imperial robe vast as the heavens, gazed down at him with dead, vacant eyes...

With the accumulated power of over four hundred emperor remnants, Wu Qiong's rank had reached the peak of the eighth tier. Moreover, as this was the Imperial Dao Ancient Vault's home ground, a vast, continuous imperial power flowed. Her aura was undiminished, even when facing a Nine Lords-level figure like Suspended Jade Lord.

She was now the true "Martial Emperor" within this Imperial Dao Ancient Vault!

The Martial Emperor remained silent. With a slender finger, she pointed across the void at Suspended Jade Lord. The chaotic firmament crashed down, the Imperial Divine Path overlapping with the imperial might of the emperor remnants. It was like a colossal hammer, capable of collapsing heaven and earth, that slammed into Suspended Jade Lord's shoulder!

Boom—!!!

A white figure was forcibly smashed into the nearest Peak of Merit. Dense cracks instantly spread across the mountaintop, which then completely shattered with a tremendous roar!

Billowing smoke and dust rose into the air.

At the same time, a broken bowl shattered on the ground.

Zhu Chongba had already entered Wu Qiong's body, and the spiritual essence of this broken bowl, a foundational secret treasure, was also absorbed. Sun Bumin and Bai Ye landed steadily on one of the mountaintops, looking out at the distant battlefield.

"Didn't they say an emperor's rank is fluid? She shouldn't have any subjects right now, so how is she so strong on her own?" Sun Bumin asked, confused.

"She certainly has no subjects, but right now, she's in the Imperial Dao Ancient Vault."

Bai Ye stamped his foot on the ground. "That's not her power; it's the power of the Imperial Dao Ancient Vault that she's mobilizing... With the blessings of those emperor remnants, she can drive the imperial fate. Now, the entire Imperial Dao Ancient Vault is her weapon."

"Oh."

"Not only that, haven't you noticed? Ever since she became empress, our Divine Paths have been suppressed."

Sun Bumin looked down at his hands, realizing his Divine Path of Drama felt as if it had been shackled, able to exert only half of its usual power...

"Within the Imperial Dao Ancient Vault, the Emperor has an absolute suppressive effect on all other fourteen Divine Paths. It's not just you; it's the same for me, and even for a ninth-tier demigod from another Divine Path," Bai Ye said calmly. "No one can defeat the Emperor within the Imperial Dao Ancient Vault... unless their power transcends the fourteen Divine Paths."

A black sword gleam shot up from the ruins into the sky, seemingly slicing it in two.

Beneath the magnificent pillar of imperial might, Suspended Jade Lord's figure slowly ascended. His eyes gleamed with sharpness and fury. The next moment, all the particles around him began to churn violently!

"A bunch of feudal remnants, do you think you can suppress me???"

Boom—!!

As the mass of the surrounding particles rapidly increased, an enormous amount of energy began to expand outwards from Suspended Jade Lord. With a thunderous roar, a blinding light spread like a solar explosion, clashing head-on with the surging imperial might!

Shockwaves surged like endless overlapping tides, filling every corner of the Imperial Dao Ancient Vault. Even the Martial Emperor in the air swayed slightly from the aftermath.

The Martial Emperor's face remained expressionless. She raised her hands as if grasping something in the void, then pulled with force!

The next moment, Sun Bumin felt his Divine Path of Drama shoot uncontrollably skyward from within him!

Also shooting skyward were the Divine Path of Thievery beside him, the Divine Path of Warfare not far away, and the Divine Path of Sorcery buried in the soil below.

"What's going on??" Jian Changsheng looked up at his Divine Path of Warfare, his eyes full of shock.

No one beside him answered, but Sun Bumin, from a distance, sighed helplessly. "Within the Imperial Dao Ancient Vault, the Emperor has the right to commandeer the power of all Divine Paths within the Vault's range... This is too monstrous."

"Any demigod presiding over their corresponding Divine Dao Ancient Vault can unleash several times their usual power. This is no joke; otherwise, the King of Silver wouldn't have hidden in the Divine Dao of Thievery Ancient Vault for so long," Bai Ye said, quite calm about the matter. "Although this puppet hasn't become a demigod yet, with the blessings of those emperor remnants, it's pretty close..."

Four magnificent Divine Paths shot straight into the sky, but only three had many usable skills. After a moment of hesitation, the Martial Emperor made a grasping motion in the air towards the rapidly approaching Suspended Jade Lord.

Thunder Grasp!!

Five peals of thunder simultaneously echoed across the sky, twisting the space around Suspended Jade Lord. But Suspended Jade Lord was no ordinary opponent. With a rapid change in his mass, his speed instantly approached that of light, allowing him to break free from the Thunder Grasp's influence. The black cross-longsword in his hand suddenly swept horizontally!

Terrifying energy converged into a single line, directly bisecting the six Peaks of Merit in front. That pitch-black line, symbolizing ultimate destruction, crossed space and instantly slashed towards the Martial Emperor's neck!

The Martial Emperor hadn't anticipated such ferocity from Suspended Jade Lord. Her vacant pupils finally constricted slightly. A flash of white light zipped past her, stealing a fragment of the threads near her neck...

Successive roars came from behind. Although the Martial Emperor herself wasn't injured, a corner of her imperial robe had been severed, and several Peaks of Merit behind her had collapsed under the impact!

The black longsword circled Suspended Jade Lord, who stood suspended in the air in his white coat, his gaze at the Martial Emperor filled with sharp disdain.

Even if this was the Imperial Dao Ancient Vault, an eighth-tier peak puppet emperor was no match for him.

"As expected, the Nine Lords are still formidable," Sun Bumin murmured.

Seeing this, Bai Ye was about to say something when the threads controlling the Martial Emperor, originating from the various Peaks of Merit, suddenly shook violently, as if arguing or transmitting some kind of message.

Finally, the thread connected to the highest Peak of Merit trembled, and all the Peaks of Merit fell silent...

The next moment,

The Martial Emperor rushed towards the First Emperor's Peak of Merit without hesitation!

The Martial Emperor's turn was too sudden, and her speed exceeded everyone's expectations. In what seemed like mere blinks, her resplendent imperial robe had already reached the mountaintop!

Jian Changsheng's vision blurred as a wave of mighty imperial power washed over him.

"No, you..."

Before Jian Changsheng could finish speaking, an imperial robe sleeve brushed past him. The Martial Emperor's hand, like an irresistible bolt of lightning, suddenly pressed down on his head!

Imperial Examination activated!

Seeing this scene, Bai Ye was initially stunned, then, as if something dawned on him, he abruptly stood up from the ground!

"No! She wants to subdue Bai Qi?!"
