Yu Yin opened her eyes, her skin as smooth as jade, her eyes radiant, emanating an extremely noble aura with every move she made.

No one dared to admire Yu Yin’s beauty, as everyone felt a chill down their spines. The horror of a monarch in the Transcendence Tribulation Stage was unimaginable to anyone. Among the nine Dynasties, only Yu Yin had reached the stage of Transcendence Tribulation!

Run!

No one spoke this word, yet everyone made the same decision unspoken.

Yu Yin extended her fair fingers, gently pointing forward, constraining everyone but God’s Might General; they couldn’t move a muscle!

A slight smirk crossed her face. ‘No wonder Jiang Li often uses this technique, it feels superb to execute.’

God’s Might General grasped that escape was futile. Even if he could escape, his troops could not. Without his troops, he was merely a Body Integration Stage, with no chance of escaping from Yu Yin, who keenly held the Heaven Origin Land.

He had no choice but to fight.

Even though he was also in the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, he possessed the strength but couldn’t use any of the formidable powers at that stage. For instance, a Transcendence Tribulation Stage could constrain space — Jiang Li, the Human Emperor, and Yu Yin could, but he could not.

‘Facing an opponent who just reached the Transcendence Tribulation Stage and may still be adjusting, victory isn’t entirely impossible if I leverage brute force.’ God’s Might General was attempting to foster some confidence in himself.

Yu Yin took away any hope of overturning the tide from God’s Might General. She invoked the national destiny and conjured a fragmented chessboard. Four tiles fell into place, summoning 108,000 different weapons that filled the entire space – above, below, front, back, left, and right. God’s Might General was encased within an orb formed of blades, all pointed inwards.

She lightly waved her hand and the 108,000 weapons zoomed towards the centre.

The weapons disappeared, leaving only a cloud of blood where God’s Might General had stood.

God’s Might General couldn’t resume life even from a single droplet of blood a valued ability of a Transcendence Tribulation Stage cultivator.

He didn’t even get the chance to reveal his significant status in the God-hidden Cult and his possibility of making a great contribution.

With God’s Might General dead and no one to command the army, the chessboard made of national destiny was restored to its intact state.

Word had already spread that Yu Yin had reached the Transcendence Tribulation Stage. People in the Imperial City knew there would be no more surprises. They emerged one after another to pay homage to their queen.

The previous battle had destroyed the palace. Yu Yin slowly rose into the air, accompanied by the Prince of Peace and six others. She intended to execute these seven under everyone’s watchful eyes.

Everyone understood in their hearts – the Queen ruled all under the heavens, rebels didn’t deserve to live!

Even their nine familial connections were likely to be implicated!

Not a single person from the former royal family would remain. The Five Thunder Orthodox Sect, Long Sky Sect, and Yunmeng Ze would decline under the Queen’s suppression. The Minister of War and the President of the Ministry of Justice faced confiscation. As for the relatives of Emperor Bai Ze, they were happy to witness one less threat to the chaotic Imperial Court.

As for the Minister of Rites and other ministers who had defected to the Prince of Peace’s camp, it was uncertain whether only they would die or their three families or nine connections would also be implicated.

The Minister of Personnel. Sun Yuan. Dossessed the merit of a dragon’s Dower. and henceforth, he would stand above the rest.

None of these events had taken place yet, but the subjects were well aware of Yu Yin’s character. They revered her talent and knew that when she reached the stage of Transcendence Tribulation, all would be settled.

This was the prestige of Yu Yin in the Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty!

Without resorting to imperial intrigue, without lonely ministers, without forming cliques, and with just a few confidants, the Prince of Peace only then realized that Yu Yin was unlike any of her predecessors of the Tianyuan reign; she was more akin to the Human Emperor!

The Human Emperor only pursued power and cared little for influences!

All the predecessors of the Tianyuan reign understood that they couldn’t hope to reach the Transcendence Tribulation Stage. Consequently, they schemed tirelessly, wooed the group of ministers, and endeavored to maintain the authority of the emperor. The Prince of Peace emulated his ancestors, forming cliques and believing that the general trend was on his side.

He now saw the light – in the face of absolute power, his little scheme was but a trivial plaything.

Yu Yin executed the seven, leaving their bodies exposed.

“Sun Yuan, your loyalty is commendable… What are you doing?!”Just as Yu Yin turned to commend Sun Yuan, the Minister of Personnel, she saw him flashing a strange smile.

Accompanying that was a formation that abruptly appeared, blanketing the entire Imperial City.

Yu Yin’s pupils contracted, recognizing the origin of the formation.

The Absolute Spirit Array!

This was a lethal formation used by the demonic cultivators to annihilate entire cities or countries!

Normally, it should be easy to detect such a major formation in the Dynasty, but the Absolute Spirit Array was singularly located in a space parallel to the Dynasty.

Now that space merged into Jiuzhou, the Absolute Spirit Array subsequently emerged within the Dynasty!

“Sun Yuan, you deserve to die!” The typically frosty voice unusually carried a hint of rage.

It took several moments to activate the Absolute Spirit Array. As long as he was restrained, there was still hope to salvage the situation.

However, Sun Yuan easily broke free, his aura resembling that of Yu Yin.

He too was in the Transcendence Tribulation Stage!

“How could he breakthrough to the Transcendence Tribulation Stage silently!”

Yu Yin was incredulous. When she had crossed over to the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, the whole Jiuzhou had sensed it — that was normal. But Sun Yuan managed to covertly break into the Transcendence Tribulation Stage?!

This was impossible!

“There is no impossibility before the power of God-hidden.” Sun Yuan displayed a cruel smile, “Absolute Spirit Array, initiate!”

The complex and ancient array slowly rotated. The lines interwove, stars changed, dragons and serpents seemed to rise, the world tragically overturned!

Within three moments, not a single person remained in the Dynasty. The city was filled by a mist of blood, and people vanished, leaving only their clothes—still standing upright and moving independently as if they were still wearing them.

Immediately, the Imperial City was transformed into a terrifying city of blood – clothes fluttering amongst the blood fog, creating an eerie sight.

Soon, the blood mist dissipated, the clothes lightly fell to the ground, looking as if no one had ever been there.

From the vice master of Tian Sha Pavilion at the initial stage of Body Integration to ordinary people in the Qi Cultivation Stage, no one could resist the Absolute Spirit Array, which Sun Yuan had been prepping for decades, leading to their instantaneous deaths!

Eight million citizens of the kingdom, along with a million troops—a total of nine million lives—had all vanished!

Members of the Cult could only kill a thousand people. This was the rule set by Sun Yuan in the guise of the Respected God-hidden. He was afraid that someone might surpass him in cultivation through killing.

Sun Yuan himself would not abide by such a rule.

With the death of nine million people, a significant supernatural force filled his body, bringing him to the brink of ascension!

“Die!”

Yu Yin was enraged and struck out, but she felt her throat sweeten, and she vomited a mouthful of blood, causing her aura to diminish.

The disappearance of the kingdom and the army would bring unimaginable influence. Yu Yin was connected to the nation’s destiny, and as the destiny deteriorated, she too was gravely injured.

“Madam Emperor, the Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty respects the strong. Please abdicate.” Witnessing tens of years of planning reap results, Sun Yuan could almost see triumph beckoning him.

Engaging with Yu Yin, he held the upper hand.

Even though Yu Yin possessed prodigious talent, it was impossible for her, just entering the Transcendence Tribulation Stage and still not steady, let alone being severely injured, to defeat a Transcendence Tribulation Stage about to ascend.

Sun Yuan had calculated every detail in advance – Jiang Li, who should have been guarding Yu Yin, was not present. Other people who could hinder him couldn’t reach here in time.

After he would defeat Yu Yin and step up to become the new Emperor of Heaven Origin, through the chessboard of national destiny, he would lay down the Absolute Spirit Array covering the entire kingdom again. At that time, the power of God-hidden would be enough to push him to the same realm as Jiang Li.

He would become the second current Mahayana stage!

“Goodbye, Madam Emperor.”

Confident he was going to win, Sun Yuan was about to execute his final strike to kill Yu Yin when an iron fist gripped his wrist, preventing him from carrying out the attack.

Shocked, Sun Yuan looked back to find an ashen-faced young man glaring at him.

It was Jiang Li, the Human Emperor!
