Chapter 2766: The Heavenly Demon Empress

"Fresh, truly fresh."

In the starry sky, the nine Shenjiang stood straight and orderly in a neat row, all gazing at the surging demonic fog on the opposite side and the vague, alluring figure within it.

That was undoubtedly a Tianmo Emperor, a female one at that, likely still in the distant starry expanse. What appeared in the fog was merely her illusion, appearing hazy and enchantingly graceful.

"I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should." The Ninth Shenjiang spoke with a tone of earnest gravity.

"Spit it out already!" The Eighth Shenjiang glanced at him sideways.

"I don't have a wife yet, and I want to get married." The Ninth Shenjiang stroked his beard. "That Tianmo Nüdi looks pretty good."

As soon as he said this, including Tianqing and Sansheng, the other eight Shenjiang all turned their heads, their eyes slanting as they scrutinized the Ninth Shenjiang from top to bottom.

They hadn't realized it before, but now they were shocked to learn that their little Ninth had such ambitious ideals. That was an emperor—could he even handle her?

"Love is a truly magical thing."

The Ninth Shenjiang's thick skin was something honed under the personal guidance of the emperor, tougher than steel plates.

The eyes of the eight Shenjiang took on an even deeper meaning. Here was a guy thousands of years old, and hearing the words "love" from his mouth just felt nauseating!

"Nüdi?"

The late arrivals—Da Chu Jiuhuangzhe, the Ten Yanluo, Zaohua Shenwang, Yuhua Xianwang, Tuntian Mozun, Jiang Taixu, Fenghuang, Long Cangjie, Honghuang Qilin, and Piaomiao Laodao—were all stunned. The Shenjiang were seeing the Tianmo Nüdi for the first time, and so were they.

"Fresh, truly fresh."

The crowd of Quasi-Emperors sighed in admiration, straining their eyes to the limit but still unable to discern the true face of the Nüdi. Perhaps the distance was just too great; they could only make out a blurry, alluring figure.

"What to do? I feel like teasing the Nüdi." Piaomiao Laodao pinched his little beard.

"Forget it. This kind of technical feat still needs our emperor to handle it." The Eighth Shenjiang said deeply.

This remark resonated with all the Shenjiang, and whenever they mentioned their emperor, they stood even straighter with pride.

"Nüdi?"

The people from the various heavens who had rushed to this starry region, whether elders or juniors, wore expressions identical to those of the Huangzhe and Shenjiang upon seeing the imperial figure.

"I always thought Tianmo Emperors were all male."

"Clearly, that's a woman."

"Females are good; they're gentle."

The people of the heavens clustered together, filling the starry sky as they all stared in that direction, chattering away. The noise was quite chaotic, mainly because it was so novel. They had seen plenty of male Tianmo Emperors, but a female Tianmo Emperor was truly a first.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

Amid the discussions, the emperor's footsteps grew closer, still heavy. Each step made the universe tremble, sending chills through everyone's hearts.

Under the watchful eyes of all, the Nüdi stepped forward, clad in battle armor with blood-red hair swaying. She exuded a divine and graceful poise, her face peerlessly beautiful. Strands of imperial principles wrapped around her imperial body, with faint imperial visions appearing and disappearing, performing scenes of destruction. She seemed ancient, as if treading on the river of time, like a god from the end of the ages. Her pair of imperial eyes were ice-cold and desolate, flashing with apocalyptic light. The overall feeling she gave was one of irresistible demonic nature.

She was the Heilian Nüdi.

Her true form was a pitch-black lotus. She stood on the other side of the star river, with black lotuses blooming around her. Each one exuded surging demonic energy and was dyed with a demonic glow.

"Tianmo is Tianmo, but she's still quite beautiful."

"Why does my head feel a bit dizzy?"

"Beautiful women are often poisonous."

Many old-timers shook their heads.

The Tianmo Nüdi was too demonic; even they felt their minds growing hazy. As for the juniors, most had dull expressions, their minds bewitched by the Nüdi's demonic nature.

"If I could get her into bed, it might feel pretty good."

"Teasing a great emperor like this doesn't seem right!"

"When Tianmo invades, we can forget about face."

The old perverts were quite in the mood, stroking their chins or beards while holding their weapons, boldly teasing the Nüdi.

What could be said? No cultivator present could guarantee they'd see tomorrow's sun, so in this situation, they had to seize the moment and have fun.

"Middle-stage Great Emperor."

There were still some serious ones, like those at the peak of ultimate strength, mostly narrowing their eyes slightly to vaguely discern the Nüdi's cultivation level. It was far beyond the early stage of a Great Emperor.

Among emperors, they were not in the same league.

"She is a Dao Body."

Fenghuang suddenly spoke, her beautiful eyes narrowing into slits. The Fenghuang clan had innate divine abilities that others lacked, allowing her to see more clearly than the Quasi-Emperors.

Her words startled everyone, and they believed Fenghuang without question. Precisely because they believed, they were shocked. A middle-stage Great Emperor was just a Dao Body—what must the true body be like? Tian Emperor level? And had she also come to the various heavens? If so, where was she hiding in this starry sky?

"My name is Mo Xi."

The Nüdi parted her lips lightly, her words echoing like ethereal imperial sounds, with a tone as clear as a young girl's, like a beautiful immortal melody resonating through the vast starry universe.

As soon as these words fell, countless juniors let their arms hang limp, their recently recovered minds disrupted once more by the imperial sound. A single word from an emperor was like a curse, lingering in their divine seas and impossible to shake off.

"Honestly, we're not that interested in your name."

Piaomiao Laodao said as he hefted an iron sword. It was unsharpened and somewhat heavy, but it was a genuine imperial weapon, engraved with imperial divine patterns that hummed and vibrated at the scent of Tianmo energy.

"So much nonsense."

The Fifth Shenjiang roared, charging forward first with the Kaitian Axe in hand. As the strongest attacker among the emperor's subordinates, he was straightforward and dominant, swinging his axe to cleave the universe in two.

The Heilian Nüdi didn't even glance at him, flipping her hand to strike a palm that swept through the void, clashing directly with the imperial weapon.

Pound!

Spurt!

These sounds rang out one after another.

The Fifth Shenjiang spat blood and was sent flying backward. No matter how strong his attacks, he was still just a Quasi-Emperor.

Zing!

The First Shenjiang arrived, unleashing a peerless sword of destruction that pierced the void, but it failed to break the Nüdi's imperial body. Instead, he was struck by an imperial finger, piercing a bloody hole in his chest. The other Shenjiang were equally fierce, each unleashing their most powerful strikes, all ultimate extermination techniques.

"Overestimating yourselves."

The Tianmo Nüdi said indifferently, flipping her hand for another palm strike.

Spurt! Spurt! Spurt!

Blood light flashed.

All the Shenjiang were defeated. Those with weaker foundations, like the Eighth Shenjiang, nearly exploded on the spot. The Ninth Shenjiang fared even worse, his divine body a mess of blood and bones, half of his flesh body shattered. Without his imperial weapon to support him, he would have likely headed straight to the underworld.

"Exterminate!"

Qin Guang Wang and Chu Jiang Wang shouted, one on the left and one on the right, channeling a dark underworld river infused with imperial divine might, soaring into the sky to engulf the Tianmo Nüdi.

The Tianmo Nüdi sneered, a pitch-black vortex manifesting around her imperial body, spinning rapidly and growing massive with the power to devour heaven and earth. It swallowed the underworld river whole and sent the two Yanluo flying. The other eight Yanluo weren't spared either, sent tumbling one after another, their bodies badly ruptured.

"Seal!"

The Nine Huangzhe ascended to the nine heavens, each holding an imperial weapon as they cast a heaven-defying seal. Imperial light pillars descended from the sky, connected by law chains, forming a massive cage that trapped the Tianmo Nüdi.

The Nüdi's lips curved slightly as she unleashed her imperial vision.

Boom!

The newly formed cage seal collapsed instantly, and the Da Chu Nine Huangzhe all spat blood.

Buzz!

Zaohua Shenwang and Yuhua Xianwang charged in simultaneously, one deploying the power of creation and the other the power of immortalization, actually breaking through the imperial vision.

"Interesting."

The Nüdi smiled mockingly and swept a palm across the two kings.

Roar!

Honghuang Qilin charged in, transforming into his true form, a massive figure like a mountain, stomping down from the sky.

At the same time, the attacks from Fenghuang, Jiang Taixu, and Tuntian Mozun arrived. One wielded a sword that crushed all in its path, ignoring the imperial body and targeting the origin directly.

The Nüdi's eyes were full of contempt. With one finger, she pierced through Honghuang Qilin, reverting him to human form, then flipped her hand for another palm that made the Mozun spit blood. Fenghuang and Jiang Taixu didn't fare much better, both sent flying backward.

The starry sky buzzed as a demonic light flew from the Nüdi's body, transforming into a sea of demonic blood that devoured everything in its path. The Quasi-Emperors who had just steadied themselves were all engulfed. This blood sea was no ordinary sea; it was inscribed with imperial divine principles and fused with ultimate killing intent, serving as both a seal and a means of annihilation.

"Break!"

Piaomiao Laodao snorted coldly, his appearance shifting from a little old man to a youth in an instant. With one sword, he cleaved the blood sea, but before he could strike again, an imperial divine sword targeted his origin, nearly killing him outright.

"Come on."

The Quasi-Emperors gathered together, channeling their ultimate imperial weapons in unison, dragging the Tianmo Nüdi toward the void in perfect coordination, turning the emptiness into their battlefield.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

The chaotic battle erupted, and the heavens collapsed.

Dozens of peak powerhouses surrounded the Nüdi, all having blood-sacrificed their essence for immense power. One after another, they pressed forward relentlessly, trapping the Tianmo Nüdi in the void. Every second, someone spat blood, and for every one who fell, another took their place.

Gazing from afar, the void was filled with flashing lightning and thunder, with destructive visions appearing endlessly. Blood rain fell like light rain, drenching the nine heavens—all the fresh blood of the Quasi-Emperors.

The Tianmo Nüdi was too powerful; her imperial body was virtually impervious to all laws. The imperial immortal techniques from the Quasi-Emperors could hardly harm her physique, and she struck them down one by one.

"So strong."

The people watched with hearts trembling.

Who said females were gentle? When the Tianmo Nüdi got ruthless, even male emperors paled in comparison.

"Destroy the Demon Pillar."

Words echoed from the void, from the Quasi-Emperors. Without destroying the Demon Pillar, they couldn't eliminate the Tianmo Nüdi, especially since she was a middle-stage Great Emperor.

"Destroy the Demon Pillar."

The older-generation Quasi-Emperors roared, sacrificing their remaining lifespan as they charged ahead, their battle intent burning like fire as they met the incoming Tianmo army.

"Kill!"

The Tianmo soldiers and generals were endless, like a vast ocean flooding the starry sky, their hideous faces terrifying and ghastly, like malevolent ghosts.

"Fight!"

The cultivators of the heavens roared, following the elders' footsteps. Their eyes were filled with determination, each one turning into a madman, forgetting the meaning of life and death.

Spurt! Spurt! Spurt!

The two oceans of figures collided in the starry sky, burying swaths in destruction. Surging blood mist dyed the universe red, and the last remnants of light were engulfed in darkness.
