Chapter 2562: Forcing Into Submit



The Divine Light Empress, Xi Baihe, stood amidst the ruins of the Eternal Night Palace, her figure radiating an ethereal glow. Her long, silver hair flowed like a river of moonlight, and her eyes, cold and piercing, locked onto Ye Yingxi with a faint smile.

"Ye Yingxi," Xi Baihe said, her voice smooth and melodic, yet laced with an undercurrent of mockery. "It seems you're in trouble."

Ye Yingxi's expression hardened as she rose from her throne, her blood-stained robes swaying slightly. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes narrowing as she studied Xi Baihe. The Divine Light Empress's presence here, at this moment, could only mean one thing.

"You've surrendered to the Lord of Chaos," Ye Yingxi said, her voice cold and steady. "Haven't you?"

Xi Baihe's smile widened, her eyes glinting with amusement. "Surrendered? Such a crude word. I prefer to think of it as... aligning myself with the inevitable. The Lord of Chaos's power is beyond anything we've ever known. Resistance is futile."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ye Yingxi's grip tightened on the hilt of her sword, her knuckles turning white. She could feel the weight of Xi Baihe's aura pressing down on her, but she refused to back down. "You've betrayed us. Betrayed the entire realm."

Xi Baihe chuckled softly, the sound echoing through the ruined palace. "Betrayal implies loyalty. I owe no loyalty to anyone but myself. The Lord of Chaos offers power, true power. Why should I resist?"

Ye Yingxi's eyes blazed with fury. "You've sold your soul to a tyrant. Do you think he'll let you live once he's done using you?"

Xi Baihe's smile didn't falter. "Perhaps. But at least I'll have lived long enough to see the end of this pathetic realm. Unlike you."

Ye Yingxi's heart pounded in her chest, but she forced herself to remain calm. She knew Xi Baihe was trying to provoke her, to break her resolve. She couldn't let that happen.

"You've come here to gloat," Ye Yingxi said, her voice steady. "But you've underestimated me. I won't surrender. Not to you, and not to the Lord of Chaos."

Xi Baihe's smile faded, replaced by a cold, calculating expression. "A pity. I had hoped you would see reason. But if you insist on being stubborn, then so be it."

With a swift motion, Xi Baihe raised her hand, and the air around her crackled with energy. The Divine Light Empress's power surged, and the ground beneath her feet began to fracture. Ye Yingxi's eyes widened as she realized what was about to happen.

"Elders, retreat!" Ye Yingxi shouted, her voice filled with urgency.

But it was too late. Xi Baihe unleashed a wave of divine energy, the force of it tearing through the palace and obliterating everything in its path.

to the enemy. Qi Zongwen couldn't believe that she was the first.

"Do you have a way to go there as fast as possible?" Yun Lintian asked.

Qi Zongwen shook his head. "There's no grand formation between our kingdoms. It would

take a week to go there with the profound ark."

Yun Lintian frowned slightly and said. "Give me the coordinates."

Qi Zongwen was surprised and quickly told Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian took a deep breath and focused on the Spatial Wheel within his body. Although he had never tried this before, he knew it was possible to open a portal to another place in his mind. After all, the Gate of Beyond Heaven possessed such an ability.

Buzz-

The Spatial Wheel symbol on his Divine Core lit up, and Yun Lintian raised the Heaven Piercing Sword slightly before swinging it down at the empty space in front of him.

The space was immediately cut open, revealing a spatial rift.

Qi Zongwen was stunned and quickly recovered. He could feel the aura of the Eternal Night Kingdom from the other side of the rift.

Yun Lintian didn't say anything further and stepped into the rift, vanishing from the place under Qi Zongwen's gaze.

Inside the Eternal Night Palace, Ye Yingxi pushed her bruised body to the limit as she launched a series of attacks on Xi Baihe. However, it was futile.

"Give up," Xi Baihe said calmly.

Rip-

All of a sudden, a spatial rift emerged above the sky, and Yun Lintian slowly walked out...
