Some time ago, flowing light shot to the heavens in the Plane Battlefield, representing that an opportunity had emerged. For a time, it attracted martial artists from various planes competing to rush there.
However, the Rose Empress was faster than them, occupying the best position for the opportunity’s emergence. She commanded her subordinates to seal it off layer by layer—anyone who dared trespass would be killed without mercy.
This approach was exactly the same as when Jun Changxiao discovered a mineral vein on the Xingyun Continent and ordered disciples to seal off the mountain valley.
Heavenly treasures belong to the capable.
The Rose Empress’s method of sealing off the opportunity and not letting others in was too domineering, so it immediately enraged the major planes.
After learning of this, the alliance led by the Scarlet Sea Continent also immediately dispatched martial artists to kill their way over.
What should have been a plot of everyone competing for a supreme treasure suddenly transformed into a plot of uniting together to uniformly target the Soul Clan Continent.
Back in the day, Jun Changxiao had annihilated tens of thousands over an opportunity, leaving behind a legend of being utterly conscienceless.
Although the Rose Empress was powerful, she hadn’t done anything so audacious, so the various planes merely felt some apprehension. They simply didn’t believe that by uniting, they still couldn’t handle her!
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
Outside Heartbreak Valley, streams of light flew rapidly.
The powerhouses from various planes gathering in this area gradually increased, with numbers approaching a momentum of breaking through one hundred thousand!
Only tens of thousands had come to snatch the opportunity. The rest were all from the Scarlet Sea Continent and other alliance planes. They seemed to realize this was an excellent chance, so they dispatched absolute force, planning to eliminate the Soul Clan Continent in one fell swoop.
Of course.
The main force fighting the Soul Clan Continent still had to rely on Vast Continent and Shara Continent, because these two first-tier planes directly dispatched six Heaven-tier experts and one hundred Earth-tier experts.
Adding the alliance’s Mystic-tier and Yellow-tier numbers totaling about fifty thousand, their combat power completely surpassed the Star Sky Five Tyrants’ subordinates. After all, here the minimum cultivation started at the Wuhuang level.
Martial artists from various planes gathered more and more, and the atmosphere grew increasingly oppressive.
It wasn’t hard to imagine.
If this really turned into a battle, it would certainly be spectacular.
“Empress.”
Inside Heartbreak Valley, within the area where formations flowed, a Soul Clan powerhouse frowned and said: “We should quickly retreat.”
If it were only planes without strong power, the Soul Clan Continent might be able to contend. But now with so many coming, with the six leaders all at the Heaven-tier level in cultivation, it was truly too troublesome.
Clad in green battle armor that outlined her figure to perfection, the Rose Empress sat on her throne, one hand lightly supporting her face, her tone languid as she said: “Can’t beat this Empress alone, so you unite together. These planes are truly pathetic.”
“Hmph.”
Hong Yao flew over from the distance and stood outside the multiple layers of defense, saying coldly: “Rose Empress, you’ve already provoked public anger. If you don’t want to die too miserably, you’d better quickly surrender.”
“Whoosh—”
A beam of finger light burst forth from within the valley.
“Not good!”
Hong Yao was greatly alarmed.
“Boom!”
Just then, a Heaven-tier powerhouse from Vast Continent appeared before him and shattered the light with a powerful fist, saying coldly: “Little girl, your killing heart is too heavy.”
The Rose Empress’s cherry lips curved upward as she smiled and said: “Each other, each other.”
She had merely displayed relatively strong behavior after arriving at the Plane Battlefield. But if she were in a position of weakness, the enemy’s killing heart would definitely exceed her own.
Take the Scarlet Sea Continent, for example.
When the Soul Clan Continent first arrived at the battlefield, they urgently came to bully them.
If the Rose Empress hadn’t responded in kind at that time, the other party’s behavior would have been even more cruel than hers.
Why is it that when I’m weak, I should be bullied by you?
Why is it that when I’m strong, I’m accused of having a heavy killing heart?
Is the sentiment that whatever I do is wrong, whatever you do is right?
I, Hua Meigui, have today’s strength through my own ability. You came to bully me, got bullied by me instead—you should kneel on the ground and acknowledge that in a world where the strong prey on the weak, there aren’t so many messy excuses!
Having fought across battlefields for thousands of years, the Rose Empress understood the Plane Battlefield’s rules very well, so after entering, she always adhered to the principle: those who bully me will receive a hundredfold return.
As for these sanctimonious major planes, their united front seemingly upholding justice was actually just to suppress her. As for the dirty and sordid things they did privately, they weren’t necessarily more upright and open than herself.
Actually.
The Rose Empress versus the various plane alliances had quite the flavor of the Demon Emperor ten thousand years ago versus the righteous sect alliances.
The Demon Emperor broke the balance and shook the interests of the righteous sects, so he was eliminated.
The Rose Empress’s current aggression was similar to the Demon Emperor’s. The planes permanently stationed in the battlefield naturally wouldn’t easily let her go either.
If it weren’t for Jun Changxiao angrily wielding his sword to kill tens of thousands, using absolute strength to shock all heroes, he and his disciples would have been collectively targeted in the Plane Battlefield as well.
In a world where martial prowess is supreme, there has never been talk of righteousness or reason.
Legends.
Can truly only be forged with fists!
Of course, there was also… the existence of Jun Changxiao, who got VIP level 12 status just by paying.
“Senior He!”
Protected Hong Yao cupped his fists and said: “Don’t waste words with this woman. Why don’t we just attack directly!”
He worried the supreme treasure would emerge at any moment. If the Rose Empress seized it and then fled without fighting, the opportunity would be wasted!
After some deliberation, Senior He said indifferently: “Fellow Daoists, please help me break through the barrier.”
“Good!”
The other five Heaven-tier powerhouses instantly reached a tacit understanding.
“Swish!”
The Red Lotus Demon Moon Blade materialized out of thin air.
The Rose Empress sitting on the throne straightened up, her languid eyes becoming cold and stern as she said: “Anyone who dares cross the threshold by half a step will pay a painful price.”
These words sounded very familiar!
That’s right.
After monopolizing the spirit stone mineral vein on the Xingyun Continent, Jun Changxiao had said this in front of all the major sects. Elder Ye of Haoguang Holy Sect didn’t believe it and was consequently bombarded down by Xiao Zueji with field artillery.
Indeed, those who aren’t family don’t enter the same door!
However, at that time, Jun Changxiao ultimately only faced an elder from a second-rate sect and a bunch of third and fourth-rate sects. The powerhouses the Rose Empress currently faced were at least a hundred times higher in level!
“Attack!”
Senior He shouted coldly.
He and his companions absolutely wouldn’t be intimidated by a single sentence, so they immediately gathered powerful force to bombard toward the established formation barrier.
The Heaven-tier powerhouses from the first tier, in terms of strength, were all at the Great Perfection Wusheng level. Now with six people attacking together, the formation they created was truly earth-shattering.
Some of the martial artists surrounding them to watch the excitement shook their heads.
Although the Soul Clan Continent was strong, the first tier had sent people from two planes. They were clearly determined to succeed. This battle should be able to remove the former from the planes.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Six violent forces pressed down from all directions. That seemingly solid barrier immediately trembled violently.
The Rose Empress’s complexion changed slightly.
These Heaven-tier experts from the first tier had strength that couldn’t be underestimated.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Just then, the six forces seemingly permeating the firmament pressed down madly again. The formation that was already difficult to support finally showed large-scale shattering.
“Whoosh—”
The Rose Empress’s toes touched down as she flew out, carrying sky-filling rose petals. Behind her, the Red Lotus Demon Moon Blade flashed with scorching light.
“Attack!”
The six powerhouses from Vast Continent and Shara Continent all charged over.
The Rose Empress was the Soul Clan’s strongest combat power. As long as they restrained this woman, the Soul Clan martial artists could be easily annihilated by others.
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Multiple forces erupted above and below. The space couldn’t withstand it and instantly collapsed.
The martial artists from various planes in the distance all widened their eyes. Seven Heaven-tier powerhouses were about to engage in combat—the scene presented would certainly be dazzling!
However.
Just as everyone anticipated!
A black light suddenly burst forth from the distance, then abruptly positioned itself in the area where multiple forces were about to collide.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Fist imprints pervaded, energy exploded!
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—”
Wild winds howled wantonly, as if space itself was wailing.
The Rose Empress, who was about to press upward, was stunned, because the black-robed back blocking above and neutralizing the forces was very familiar.
“Ugly woman.”
Jun Changxiao, who arrived just in time, said with a stern face: “Fighting six alone—don’t you want your life?”
It’s him!
It really is him!
The Rose Empress’s face showed joyful color. The empress demeanor she had burst forth earlier also immediately restrained considerably.
“Go down.”
Jun Changxiao still kept a stern face and said: “Leave this to me.”
“Oh.”
The Rose Empress retracted the Red Lotus Demon Moon Blade, then landed within the defensive formation. Looking at that heroic and extraordinary back, she smiled foolishly and said: “Husband looks so handsome in that black robe.”
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and Jun Changxiao’s shiny bald head was immediately revealed.
