Chapter 2908: Conquering the Primordial Wilderness (II)

"Xuezhai. Xuechang."

Nü Di's lips parted slightly, her voice light and elegant, yet it resounded like thunder from ancient times, shattering the eternal immortal vault.

With just these four words, countless Honghuang powerhouses were obliterated into dust.

An emperor was supreme, and so was their state of mind; they could not arbitrarily slaughter living beings.

This was the greatest taboo for the supreme, inviting retribution from the unseen forces.

Yet she was not only an emperor but also a wife and a mother. Even after attaining the Dao, this fact remained unchanged.

To Honghuang, she had nothing more to say.

Boom!

Nü Di's crystalline jade hand descended from the heavens, shrouding the stars, obscuring yin and yang, dyed with brilliant immortal radiance and apocalyptic light. Before it truly fell, the universe collapsed; before it truly fell, the mountains and palaces in the Honghuang ancestral land crumbled one by one, and figures turned to ash in waves.

"First Emperor! She means to wipe out our clan!"

"Save us!"

The wails from Honghuang were piercing, as all knelt before the statue—it was the divine image of the emperor, worshiped for endless ages.

Remarkably, their cries were not in vain; the emperor's statue truly manifested a spirit, and a hazy figure emerged from within.

It was the spirit of the emperor, towering and majestic like an eternal monument, bearing the nianli of the emperor's Dao inheritance, as well as the myths and legends of the emperor.

"Give me some face and spare my inheritance."

The emperor's spirit raised its hand boldly, holding up the sky with both hands, actually withstanding Nü Di's palm print.

"Your face cannot outweigh the lives of the myriad domains."

Nü Di responded calmly, infusing a trace of emperor Dao divine power into her palm.

Just that trace added a destructive might to the strike.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

The emperor's spirit's sturdy body bent downward, its rigid legs buckling and crumbling inch by inch, until it was forced to its knees on the ground.

Boom!

Nü Di's palm print came down fully.

The emperor's spirit exploded into nothing, leaving only a sigh. It was merely the spirit of an emperor—how could it withstand a supreme's strike? That Nü Di was on the same level as the original emperor. Not even the true emperor could necessarily defeat her.

"No! No! No!"

With the emperor's spirit destroyed, Honghuang had no more support. In their wails, they were ground into flying ash one by one.

This single palm from the emperor erased the entire Honghuang ancestral land. From the clan emperor to the lowliest soldier, not a single one survived. Even the imperial weapons of this lineage were shattered, leaving only remnants that fled into the heavens.

One great Honghuang clan had its inheritance extinguished.

It was unknown what the Honghuang Great Emperor of this lineage would think if still alive. Their emperor Dao inheritance, continued for eons, was wiped out by Nü Di in one strike. Even the emperor's spirit seeking face from her was denied.

Face was a precious thing, but it depended on who asked.

Today, not even the emperor's spirit could save Honghuang, let alone the true Honghuang Emperor. The fury of the East Huang Nü Di and the wrath of the common people demanded blood to be quenched.

Throughout the heavens, no one pitied them. Witnessing a Honghuang lineage's destruction brought an unprecedented sense of relief.

The heavenly Dao had its cycles; heaven spared no one. Those who committed evils should have foreseen this day.

"Nü Di is domineering."

No one knew which junior shouted it first, their face streaked with tears. It seemed many of their family had fallen to Honghuang hands—or perhaps their clan had only this one survivor left. Years of suppressed hatred and anger erupted in that moment, shouted in utter hysteria.

"Nü Di is domineering."

One cry became a tidal wave of thousands, with countless people roaring—elders and juniors alike. Each had tears in their eyes, having suffered Honghuang's torment for so long. Finally, an emperor had come to demand justice.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

Amid the shouts, East Huang Nü Di turned silently and walked away step by step. Each step made the universe tremble. Wherever she passed, the stellar winds ceased, and inch by inch, the star domains froze over with ice. The ultimate emperor might spread across the cosmos.

"Follow her."

The cultivators of the heavens wiped away their tears and followed Nü Di's path.

The destruction of one Honghuang lineage was only the first. There were so many Honghuang clans; if they were to be exterminated, it had to be complete.

And they would all be witnesses to this emperor's slaughter.

Not long after, another boom echoed.

The second Honghuang clan was found, hidden well with no aura leaking, yet it could not escape a great emperor's gaze. All concealments were laid bare.

"You are an emperor; you cannot do this."

Boom!

Amid the wails, Nü Di struck again with a world-ending palm, obliterating that Honghuang ancestral land.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

Sounds like these rang out every so often afterward, each boom like a funeral bell from hell, tolling for Honghuang. With every strike, another Honghuang clan was wiped out.

This Nü Di of the heavens was truly relentless, killing as she went without a word. Once she found them, she struck to exterminate, showing no mercy.

Ah!

Honghuang's wails were heart-wrenching. No matter how well they hid or how secret their locations, it was futile. Even summoning the emperor's spirit could not block Nü Di's destructive power.

The starry sky filled with blood mist, surging and rolling.

This mist was Honghuang's blood, a sacrifice for the fallen heroes.

This emperor's slaughter continued for an unknown span of years, finally drawing to a close under the bloody starlight.

When Nü Di finally stopped, it felt like an eternal instant.

With iron-blooded methods, she had flattened the entire Honghuang.

From that moment, the Honghuang clans, which had endured for eons, were truly cut off from inheritance.

"Father, mother, Nü Di has avenged you."

"Child, Honghuang is destroyed."

"Master, in your spirit in the heavens, have you seen this?"

With the Honghuang clans exterminated, the starry sky echoed with sobs. Elders wept openly, and juniors shed tears.

How much calamity had one Honghuang caused? How many had been torn from their families because of them?

Now, Honghuang is gone, and great vengeance is achieved.

There were still Honghuang clans in the world, but those were more accurately called cultivators of the heavens now. They had not sided with the wrong faction; otherwise, they too would have been destroyed.

Tian Ming and the two emperors fell silent.

They had watched this slaughter from beginning to end, filled with sighs.

In ancient times, Honglian Nü Di had only burned the Eight Wastelands' gods.

A few hundred years ago, Di Huang had only banished them.

Now, this emperor was truly ruthless, flattening the entire Honghuang.

If Honglian Nü Di's infamous reputation was formidable, then East Huang Nü Di was even more so.

She had shattered Donghua Nü Di's myth and surpassed Honglian Nü Di's notoriety.

In the starry sky, Ji Ningshuang walked step by step, her emperor Dao silhouette desolate, lonely, weathered, and melancholic.

Tears also streaked her cheeks—not as an emperor, but as a wife and mother.

Honghuang was destroyed, yet her Ye Chen and Ye Fan were gone forever. In the endless years ahead, she could only guard their faint memories.

Boom!

The booming sound persisted relentlessly, suddenly ringing out and interrupting her tears.

High in the vast expanse, cracks exploded once more.

Then, another bloodstained figure fell from the Taigu Road, body heavy with world-ending might, smashing a swath of star domains into collapse.

This time, it was not Tian Mo Di or E Mo Di, but a Shengti—a fully realized Shengti from the first lineage, and still in the bloodline limit state.

"This."

Ming Di and Dao Zu both frowned. It had truly arrived—not an emperor, but a fully realized Shengti, and it had landed in the human realm.

No one knew if the peak-slaying East Huang Nü Di could defeat this first-lineage Shengti.
