Chapter 2900: Two Female Emperors

"Hand over your lives!"

This roar, filled with grief and fury, came from two female emperors, yet it echoed the voices of five women.

It was Ji Ningshuang.

It was Ruoxi, Chu Xuan, Chu Ling, and Wulei.

One was the Heavenly Court Female Emperor, the other the Eastern Wilderness Female Emperor.

One was a new emperor who had just achieved the Dao, the other was a fused great emperor.

What they shared was their connection to Ye Chen.

The God of War had fallen, but these two female emperors had risen.

Boom! Bang!

In the same instant, the two female emperors struck together.

Thud!

The Eastern Wilderness Female Emperor's demonic aura surged like a tide, splitting the seventh peak emperor's primordial spirit body in half with a single palm. The Heavenly Court Female Emperor, radiant and unparalleled, sent the other eight great emperors tumbling with another palm.

"How is this possible?"

One peak emperor was destroyed, and the other eight were stunned, tumbling end over end without stopping. Their emperor bodies exploded mid-flight, scattering imperial blood and bones across the stars and collapsing countless star domains.

Boom!

The Heavenly Court Female Emperor stepped through the void, charging straight at the first, second, third, and fourth peak emperors.

Bang!

The Eastern Wilderness Female Emperor was even faster. Her dreamlike return through the ages allowed her to appear in an instant, her sword cleaving half the body of the fifth peak emperor before she swept away the sixth, eighth, and ninth peak emperors with a flip of her palm.

"How is this possible?"

The sixth peak emperor uttered those words again, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief. They were peak emperors, after all! Even suppressed in the various heavens, they were still at the peak level, and not just any ordinary peak.

Yet the one facing them was only an entry-level emperor, freshly proven on the Dao. How could she be so powerful? Even stronger than that young Saint Body from before.

But they had no idea that Dongshen Yaochi was no ordinary emperor. Her combat prowess in the same realm was on par with Ye Chen's, enhanced by her bloodline limits. Though only an entry-level emperor, she was invincible below the outer domain heavenly emperors.

"Hand over your lives!"

The Eastern Wilderness Female Emperor roared.

She looked less like an emperor and more like a female demon god, a mad one at that. Her pitch-black emperor eyes were filled with utter destruction.

Thud!

Another sword strike, capable of rending the heavens and earth.

The remaining half of the fifth peak emperor's body was obliterated, and his faint primordial spirit, before it could escape, was crushed to dust under the Eastern Wilderness Female Emperor's foot.

The sixth, eighth, and ninth peak emperors froze, their eyes filled with terror.

They had truly underestimated this young female emperor—she was even more terrifying than that young Saint Body.

With just two sword strikes and a kick, she had wiped out a peak emperor.

What unimaginable power.

Though she was an emperor like them, in their eyes, this young female emperor seemed more fearsome than a heavenly emperor.

What shocked them most was her age.

An emperor at over a thousand years old? Was this some kind of cheat?

At such an age, not only in the various heavens but even in the Heavenly Demon Domain or the Calamity Demon Domain, she would be absolutely the youngest.

A grave miscalculation, a serious one.

No wonder that young Saint Body had fought to the death to protect her Dao. They had thought she was a weak female emperor, but she turned out to be this dominant.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

The stars trembled, resounding with rhythmic booms.

These were the steps of the Eastern Wilderness Female Emperor. Perhaps her emperor body was too heavy, or her emperor might too overwhelming, for every step caused the universe to collapse, each one crushing a star domain. Gripping her blood-dripping Eastern Wilderness Emperor Sword, she advanced step by step toward the three peak emperors. Her eyes, like black holes, not only displayed destruction but were also etched with towering killing intent. The rolling demonic aura was cold and desolate, manifesting all manner of phenomena, where every mountain, river, plant, and tree was tainted with apocalyptic light.

That light was meant for the peak emperors.

That ethereal, demonic emperor Dao heavenly sound was a funeral dirge, played for the peak emperors.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

The booming echoed, as if with a response.

It was still the emperor's steps, but now from the three peak emperors.

For every step the Eastern Wilderness Female Emperor took forward, they retreated one; for every star domain she crossed, they yielded another. Their emperor bodies trembled, their eyes filled with fear, retreating step by step until the end of time itself.

This female emperor was too heaven-defying. Not just these three—even if all nine emperors were here, they still wouldn't be her match.

It was because she was an emperor of the various heavens, a new emperor.

The moment she stepped through the emperor Dao gate, the various heavens bore her emperor Dao imprint. That imprint suppressed all external forces.

And that included them. Even as peak emperors, they were suppressed—not just their emperor Dao combat power, ultimate emperor might, and innate Dao roots, but everything was weakened by the imprint, and weakened severely.

The stronger the emperor, the stronger the imprint's suppression; the stronger the suppression, the more vicious the weakening.

Clearly, the female emperor opposite them was one of the most heaven-defying kinds. An ordinary emperor wouldn't have such a powerful emperor Dao imprint suppression.

They weren't strangers to the various heavens.

When Xuanyuan became an emperor, they had come before and experienced the Xuanyuan imprint's suppression.

They knew all too well how terrifying the emperor Dao imprint suppression was for the universally acknowledged strongest great emperor.

Yet this female emperor could match Xuanyuan, or even surpass him.

Now, these so-called outer domain peak emperors, despite holding peak ranks, had their emperor Dao divine power and combat strength far from peak levels.

In terms of suppression, great emperors were far more effective than great saint bodies.

It wasn't your territory, so who knew the discomfort better?

"Hand over your lives!"

The Eastern Wilderness Female Emperor charged again, her emperor sword drawing an immortal river of the emperor Dao.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The three peak emperors, still retreating, were sent flying once more, though they managed to hold on as peak emperors; otherwise, they might have been split apart.

Ah!

The three emperors were enraged, halting abruptly—whether from fear or anger, they launched a joint assault, unleashing peak attacks in unison.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

The great battle erupted, shattering the stars.

The Eastern Wilderness Female Emperor was stunning and heaven-defying, an entry-level emperor holding her own against three peak emperors, beating them so they could barely stand.

Thud!

On the other side of the stars, imperial Dao blood flowers bloomed.

The fourth peak emperor fell to his knees, his emperor body obliterated by a palm from the Heavenly Court Female Emperor, and with a kick, his emperor Dao primordial spirit was stamped into ash.

"No, it's impossible."

The first, second, and third peak emperors were also filled with fear.

They could see that Ruoxi wasn't a complete emperor—she was a fusion of four, a flawed one, only at the entry level in rank. But her combat strength was overwhelmingly fierce. Even four peak emperors teaming up couldn't withstand her assault; not only that, she had slain one of them.

Another miscalculation, a serious one.

Or rather, they had missed the best opportunity.

The nine peak great emperors had been held back by a young Saint Body. The Saint Body was destroyed, but it had provoked two even more terrifying figures.

If they had struck separately earlier, eliminating the one undergoing tribulation and destroying the fused form, they wouldn't have ended up in this awkward situation—nine peak emperors being hammered by two entry-level ones, unable to lift their heads.

In the end, it was their own arrogance. They had seen themselves as superior, believing nine emperors united were unbeatable.

But they were wrong, disastrously so. They had underestimated the new emperor, underestimated Ruoxi, and underestimated the various heavens. They had a winning hand but played it into a total mess.

Ruoxi said nothing, gripping her blood-dripping immortal sword, advancing one star domain at a time. The three peak emperors retreated as quickly as she pursued, and she would chase them to the edge of the world to reduce them to dust.

At the corner of her eye, blood tears flowed—from the subconscious of Chu Xuan and Chu Ling.

These were tears of heartache and guilt.

The reason so many fusion attempts had failed wasn't just Ruoxi's issue; it was also theirs. Because none of them were virgins.

It was only with Wulei's arrival that they had barely found that delicate balance in the shadows.

If they had all been virgins, if they could have fused earlier, the various domains' beings wouldn't have suffered so terribly in battle; their Ye Chen wouldn't have fallen.
