Back to where the fight was going on, after a few hours of fighting even against each other, the difference between the two could clearly be seen.
"Grug!" Yanlu Rou was thrown away and bumped on the wall. However, though she spat a mouthful of blood, she could back herself up.
"Shit." She couldn't help but curse. She was one of the strongest zeniths living in the entire multiverse. Yet, just a single devil emperor could already make her helpless. Nevertheless, it wasn't shameful at all. After all, her enemy was boosted by a universal law's power and it was understandable that she would be in this state.
Furthermore, the gap between zeniths and universal laws were so vast that it was incalculable.
"I thought that you will be a challenge since your reputation has told me. But it seems like you can't even live up to anyone's expectations." The emperor taunted Yanlu Rou.
"Says by someone who stole a power from someone?" Yanlu Rou fought back.
"If you have eyes, you clearly saw that I got the power with my own abilities." The emperor defended himself, "With so much injuries I got a while ago, you can tell that I have also suffered to get this power."
Yanlu Rou had no say about this. It was the truth. But she still refuted and said, "No matter what, you still stole something and your power isn't originally from you. Not to mention, it is against the will of the universal law! While I can say that you are quite brave to actually pull that trick, you are also dumb at the same time."
The emperor squinted his eyes. He knew what Yanlu Rou was trying to tell and he was very dissatisfied, "It looks like the beating you got isn't enough to shut your mouth."
"Hah, do you have the capability to do so?" Yanlu Rou provoked him.
"Whoosh! Boom!" Yanlu Rou's body was thrown upwards with a violent force and downwards with a more violent force. The emperor just moved his hands and it already happened.
"Agh!" Yanlu Rou almost screamed out of pain. Her precious white robe was also tattered. It was one of the most dresses she treasured, and now it turned out like this. Of course, it wasn't the time to think of it.
"Activate!" That attack hurt her, so she was enraged and immediately activated a system. It was a huge castle that occupied 3/4 of the whole domain, "Die!"
"Boom!" Then the castle suddenly lost its flight and immediately pounced the ground with a terrifying power. Rubbles and the wind scattered in all directions as the castle's power amplified by several degrees, creating explosions below.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" However, though it was a very powerful system of Yanlu Rou, it was useless against someone of the emperor's caliber. He punched the ice castle with his bare fists with punches getting stronger one after another.
"Open!" Yanlu Rou knew that the enemy would do this and immediately opened her treasure palace. It then revealed a large fan made of ice, and it was extremely exposing.
As treasure palaces only appeared when certain zenith's conditions were met, it could be seen that whatever this palace held was a great power or whatnot.
"Bam!" Yanlu Rou didn't want to wait any longer and immediately casted the ice fan from the treasure palace. It swung its body and gave a torrential wind that was capable of tearing existences into pieces.
Both the castle and the emperor was affected by this wind. However, the more force was directed to the emperor so the damage was quite obvious and alarming.
"Finally, you used your treasure palace. I've been waiting to see that!" But it looked like that the emperor was happy instead of getting defeated, "I have long sought for a treasure palace yet I still couldn't attain it. Now, I can see that it's no longer impossible for me."
"Though your body is boosted by an outer power, the fact remained that you are still a zenith with no foundations at all. At most, you could only be considered a quasi-universal law. So though you are boosted, it was impossible that you can still get a treasure palace. Hah, do you think that it is up to one's power that you can get it?" Yanlu Rou taunted the enemy with a mocking smile.
For zeniths, treasure palace-level was the highest realm they could get. And not just that, they could actually get the treasure palace, which was said to be a legendary box of all eons! However, not all zeniths were capable of reaching this realm. After all, the requirements must be met first in order to step into this space.
One of the required prerequisites was talent. In the zenith realm, talent was very important as it would help you greatly in advancing in the zenith realms. If one's talent was already exhausted, then it would be more than impossible to advance further. Of course, there would be treasures that could add talent to its consumer, but it was very rare and usually, it was directly consumed after getting rather than being sold.
Furthermore, in the whole family of Rou, only Yanlu Rou was the treasure palace-level zenith. As for her husband? He was just a step away from that level. So anytime soon, he would also reach this level.
"Lady Yanlu, you are really powerful. Just like the rumors said." The emperor threw the castle casually and he appeared uninjured, "Unfortunately, it is not yet enough to kill me. What will you do now? Oh, I can accept it if you beg right now though."
"Keep dreaming, Patrosh." Yanlu Rou was already exhausted. However she could still sneer at her enemy and said, "The Rou family will never kneel down in front of a monster like you."
"Hah, looks like you don't know what position you are in right now." The emperor clenched his fist, "You are at my mercy, one click and I can kill all of you. That's how strong I am right now."
The emperor pointed his finger at Yanlu Rou. But for some reason it was cut cleanly that it left the emperor in shock.
Then, a cold voice spoke out of nowhere which gave everyone chills, "How laughable."
