Chapter 419: Chapter 31 Empress VS Bad Leader_1

"Because I saw the unsurpassed Immortal God."

Yuan Tiangang’s mind exploded with a bang, like a bolt from the blue. He had considered countless possibilities, but he had never imagined this answer.

Divine Spirit? The unsurpassed Immortal God? Do gods really exist in this world?

He didn’t believe it. He had lived for more than three hundred years and had seen countless strange and extraordinary things. But whether it was people or events, at most, they were just beings with strange abilities or special powers.

"Divine Spirit? Ridiculous!" Yuan Tiangang shook his head disdainfully. "If there were really gods in this world, then I would be a god! I have already seen through the essence of time! I have already discerned the secrets of life!"

Yuan Tiangang stood with his hands behind his back, full of pride and self-satisfaction, "In my eyes, time has already stopped. Your lives are meaningless, just like ants!"

In his view, the Divine Spirit mentioned by Shui Yunji was at best on par with him, perhaps just having lived longer and possessing greater power.

"And you, neither human nor ghost, dare to claim to be a god?" Shui Yunji couldn’t help but snort with laughter, mocking him, "Does a god still need to find a pure young woman every once in a while to harvest her life essence to maintain his own life?"

"It is their honor that they can transform into nourishment for me and merge into one with me!" Yuan Tiangang’s voice was unfluctuating, his penetrating gaze fixed on Shui Yunji’s curvaceous and alluring physique. "Call out the so-called Immortal God behind you; I want to see what skills he possesses. If he’s all bark and no bite, then today, you will also become my nourishment and merge with me to share in eternity!"

Since Shui Yunji had not acted according to his predictions and still wanted to kill Li Xingyun, there was no need to keep her alive. Of course, killing such a beautiful woman like Shui Yunji would be such a waste. It would be better to harvest her life essence, putting her to good use.

"You think you are worthy to meet My Lord?"

When Shui Yunji thought of Hongmeng’s majestic figure and then looked at this ugly, arrogant man before her, the contrast was painfully obvious. And he dares to claim to be a god? He’s seen through the essence of time? He’s discerned the nature of life? Time has no meaning to him? It’s laughably absurd.

"Stubborn fool!" Yuan Tiangang snorted coldly and made his move directly. He wanted to force out the mastermind behind Shui Yunji.

BOOM.

Yuan Tiangang, without any flourish, swung down a palm. It was a lethal move. Shui Yunji raised her hand and effortlessly blocked it. Despite her slender and graceful figure, her movements were incredibly sharp and supremely domineering. Hand, elbow, foot, knee—every part of her body became a deadly weapon! Every move and style was accompanied by roars of wind and thunder. Every punch and kick could split mountains and crack stones!

So strong!Li Xingyun was deeply shaken, witnessing such a terrifying duel for the first time.

Brahman Heaven, Miaocheng Tian, Xuan Jingtian, and the others looked on with tense expressions, their powers at the ready, prepared to assist at any moment. For the past few days, they had been praying earnestly every day. Their Cultivation Levels had soared significantly; even Ji Ruixue, originally the weakest, had reached the Middle Sky Position.

In the Baddies’ World, the cultivation realms are divided into Small Star Position, Middle Star Position, Great Star Position, Small Sky Position, Middle Sky Position, and Big Heavenly Position. The Big Heavenly Position is the realm of exceptionally strong beings who command respect far and wide. The original Empress Shui Yunji was a powerful being at the Big Heavenly Position. And Yuan Tiangang, who had lived for more than three hundred years, was a terrifying existence that had surpassed the Big Heavenly Position.In this world, he was considered invincible.

However, after Shui Yunji recited the "Meditation Method," her Cultivation Level broke through the Big Heavenly Position and reached a realm comparable to Yuan Tiangang’s. Furthermore, with her continuous prayers over the last few days, her Cultivation Level had improved significantly, and she was by no means weaker than Yuan Tiangang.

"I didn’t expect your Cultivation Level to have reached the God’s Position. No wonder you dare to challenge me."

Yuan Tiangang was somewhat surprised but still confident. Even within the same realm, there are levels of strength. Having lived for more than three hundred years, if they were at the same level, combat strength would depend on the Cultivation Technique and battle experience. There was no need to question his Cultivation Technique; his Tian Gang Technique was definitely one of the top Cultivation Techniques in this world. As for battle experience... with more than three hundred years of life, even a pig’s combat experience would become extremely terrifying.

BOOM.

As the two clashed with a single palm strike, terrifying power burst forth like a volcanic eruption, sweeping in all directions. The entire pavilion instantly shattered into flying debris. Li Xingyun, Ji Ruixue, and the others kept retreating. Shui Yunji’s bare feet retreated seven steps, while Yuan Tiangang staggered back three.

Clearly, he had the upper hand in this exchange. After all, he was an old monster who had lived for over three hundred years.

"Sword, come!" Shui Yunji reached out her hand, and a purple longsword flew towards her, landing in her palm. It was her personal weapon, the Purple Morning Sword.

"Huan Yin Technique!" Shui Yunji drew her sword, leaped into the air, and struck downward from above.

BOOM.

A column of purple light shot up into the sky. The terrifying power left a deep, bottomless crater in the ground. Yuan Tiangang took two steps back, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. His conical hat and Black Robe were shredded by the horrific Sword Qi, turning them into dust. His face appeared rotten and decayed, with white bones and teeth completely exposed—more terrifying than an Evil Spirit, more dreadful than an Asura.

"AH!" Ji Ruixue’s pupils contracted sharply. She held her breath, startled, her mind went blank.

Is this still human? Even a Devil from Hell wouldn’t be so terrifying, right?

It wasn’t just her; the female disciples of the Huan Yin Sect, such as Xuan Jingtian and Miaocheng Tian, were also shocked.It was truly frightening. Too terrifying. How could there be such a person in the world? This was simply not human. It was an Evil Spirit. It was an Asura.

GASP! Li Xingyun inhaled sharply, greatly frightened.

No wonder Yuan Tiangang always wrapped himself up tightly, never showing his true face. This was indeed terrifying, too dreadful.

"Tian Gang Technique." Yuan Tiangang’s entire Cultivation Power surged as he threw a punch. Shui Yunji held the Purple Morning Sword horizontally in front of her full, prominent chest. But as Yuan Tiangang’s heavy and powerful punch landed, the unparalleled Precious Sword, the Purple Morning Sword, actually bent and even showed signs of fracturing.

BOOM.

The next moment, a powerful force sent Shui Yunji flying. She felt an indestructible force surge into her body, causing her chest to ache severely, as if it were about to be ripped apart.

"Empress!" Ji Ruixue exclaimed in alarm and unsheathed her sword to rush forward. The Nine Heavens Saintesses of the Huan Yin Sect, including Brahman Heaven, Miaocheng Tian, and Xuan Jingtian, wielding instruments such as pipa, oil-paper umbrellas, bows, and arrows, attacked Yuan Tiangang. For a moment, various attacks rained down like a torrential downpour.

However, THUMP THUMP THUMP!!!

With a move from Yuan Tiangang, Ji Ruixue, Brahman Heaven, and the others were instantly sent flying. Under absolute strength, numbers were meaningless.

"Who would have thought not only has your strength skyrocketed, but the strength of your subordinates has also increased greatly. It seems you have obtained some significant fortune!" Yuan Tiangang casually sent Ji Ruixue and the Nine Heavens Saintesses flying and stepped towards Shui Yunji.

Despite his ease in defeating everyone, he was still somewhat surprised by their strength. There are many methods in this world to quickly increase one’s strength, but they mostly have side effects. Even those without side effects have significant limitations and cannot be replicated for many. Yet, the strength of everyone in the Huan Yin Sect had greatly increased, and he had not detected any side effects. He was very interested in this method of rapidly increasing strength.

However, when Yuan Tiangang saw Shui Yunji, he became completely stupefied, his eyes filled with astonishment.

Instead of seizing the time to heal her wounds, Shui Yunji was praying, "Great Lord of Hongmeng, you are the supreme Divine Spirit..."

Could it be that Divine Spirits really exist? Who is the Lord of Hongmeng?
