A Good Romance

Tortoise, in the eyes of ordinary creatures, was synonymous with powerful defense. Even fierce tigers and lions couldn't do anything to a tortoise's shell. And after entering the level of Demonic Beasts, the defense of tortoises increased again.
The pinnacle of Demonic Beasts was Divine Beasts, so their defense was naturally even more shocking.
Zhong Hai was born with a shred of the bloodline of the ancient Divine Beast, the Black Tortoise, which manifested in his defense. The area on his back was known as the "God's Domain" because only Immortals could break it.
On the stage, all the spectators were dumbfounded. Even many elites of the Mountain River Tier and Sun Moon Tier couldn't believe it.
Ling Han was clearly only in the Shattering Void Tier, but how could his battle prowess be so powerful?
On the high stage, the important figures of the Jade Drop and Eternity Sky Majestic Empire even tried to sense if Ling Han had borrowed power of the nation, but to their disappointment, there were no signs of external power on Ling Han, and the totem of the empire, the nine peaks, didn't have Ling Han's name.
Without a name on the totem, one couldn't draw power of the nation — this was a principle that everyone knew.
His own battle prowess could be so powerful?
This surprised many important figures. Because the Shattering Void Tier hadn't crossed into the Immortal level, the influence wasn't too great. Even a genius only needed to reach 20 Stars of battle prowess, and there was no need to fight to the death at this step.
After all, the path of Martial Art was too long. Moreover, even if you cultivated the Shattering Void Tier to perfection, how many Stars of surpassing ability could you increase?
I can still cultivate to perfection in the Mountain River Tier and Sun Moon Tier, so wouldn't the increase in battle prowess be even stronger?
Precisely because it was too difficult to surpass one's cultivation level in the Immortal level, pursuing cultivation level was the way of the king.
Peng, Zhong Hai fell off the stage, releasing a shrill scream.
This tortoise shell was a part of his body, and now that it was forcefully shattered, it naturally caused him great pain. However, his previous victory was too despicable, so now that he was in such a miserable state, everyone instead felt a kind of satisfaction, feeling that their hatred had been vented.
"The rankings have been decided. In this competition among the three empires, the Chaotic Majestic Empire is first, the Jade Drop Majestic Empire is second, and the Eternity Sky Majestic Empire is third." The Ninth King's voice rang out on the high platform, announcing the final results.
Ling Han, Ye Chengyun, and the rest of the 10 contestants were all rewarded with 100 True Origin Stones each. This was not a small amount of wealth, and it could be said to be a heavy reward for just one battle.
Ling Han was just about to leave with the Left Minister when a palace maid caught up to them. She first curtsied, then said, "By His Imperial Majesty's orders, Ling Han is summoned for an audience."
Minister Zuo was slightly taken aback and quickly replied respectfully, "Yes!"
Meanwhile, Xiang Chengyun was about to go mad with jealousy. This lowly commoner of a small world had actually been summoned by the empress. What kind of luck was that? Even he had only managed to catch a glimpse of the empress from afar because he was following the Left Minister.
This was his pride, but now? This Shattering Void Tier brat was actually able to come into close contact with the empress, and instantly trampled his pride onto the ground.
He was filled with hatred. Why had he brought Ling Han back in the first place? It would have been better to just directly kill him, and casually install a puppet emperor.
But now, he could only feel regret, and did not dare to do anything.
The person that the empress wanted to see, did you dare to stop her?
Ling Han followed the palace maid, and walked into the depths of the Imperial Palace. It was incredibly quiet here. Aside from the patrolling guards, there was no one else. Of course, the guards were all female, and they were all in teams of 10, led by an elite in the consummate level of the Mountain River Tier. The team members were also in the Mountain River Tier.
However, after that, the palace maid led Ling Han to the entrance of a side palace hall. It was completely forged from pink crystal, and looked like a beautiful gemstone.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have brought Ling Han," the palace maid said as she knelt at the entrance.
"Announce." A dignified voice was heard from inside, yet there was an incredible charm hidden within. It was as sweet as honey, making one feel incredibly comfortable just by hearing it.
The palace maid nodded at Ling Han, and walked into the palace hall.
Ling Han followed in as well. He acutely discovered that there was an imperial guard hidden behind every thick stone pillar that was three meters wide. Their auras were unfathomable, or at least, they were not ones that he could detect clearly.
There were a total of 18 such pillars, and they extended all the way to the bottom of the palace hall. There was an imperial throne there, and a woman dressed in a dragon robe was seated high on it. However, there was a divine light flickering on her body, and her specific appearance could not be seen clearly. However, even if it was incredibly hazy, there was a kind of charm that reached straight to the bone, and could melt one's heart.
The reputation of the greatest beauty in the world was well-deserved. She merely sat there, and there was an irresistible charm.
Ling Han sighed, but had no choice but to kneel on one knee, and said, "Ling Han pays his respects to Your Majesty."
This was an elite at the peak stage of the consummate level of the Heavenly Body Tier, and she herself was possibly a five-star genius. Added with the power of the nation, if not the Eternal River Tier, at least in the Heavenly Body Tier, she should be invincible.
Towards this kind of elite, it was only right to be respectful.
Empress Luan Xing's eyes swept over him, and Ling Han suddenly felt as if he had been seen through from inside out. It was as if he could not hide any secrets in front of her.
"Coming from a small world by opening the sky, it has not been easy for you," she said, with a sliver of praise.
Instantly, Ling Han felt as if his blood had rushed to his head, but he immediately felt a chill in his heart. Why was it that she had only praised him, and he felt an urge to die for her?
The charm of this empress was too frightening. She had obviously not used any cultivation technique, and only a single sentence, and added with the fact that her own appearance, bearing, and even appearance were all hazy, she had already made him so intoxicated.
No wonder even the two emperors of the Heavenly Body Tier were enchanted by her. Indeed, this kind of charm was really too hard to resist.
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty," Ling Han said solemnly. His eyes were lowered, and he did not dare to take another look.
This empress was a "source of calamity", and her charm was much greater than Shui Yanyu's and Zhu Xuan Er's. At least as far as Ling Han knew, the only one that could rival or even surpass her in terms of bearing was that former Imperial Empress of the Roc Palace.
However, the temperament of these two women was completely different. Though the one from the Roc Palace had a gentle tone, she was elegant and distant, causing others to only feel reverence, and not dare to have any wild thoughts.
But though the tone of this empress in front of him was clear and cold, it was like a sweet poison, making one unable to resist even if they wanted to. They were willing to be like moths flying into a flame, and would not regret it even if they died.
This should also be related to the cultivation technique that this empress cultivated. Otherwise, it would definitely be impossible for her to be so enchanting and seductive.
Ling Han did not think that with his current cultivation level, he would be able to resist the charm of this empress for long. Thus, it was better not to act rashly, lest his mind and spirit sink into oblivion, unable to free himself.
"You have turned the tide for our empire, and won 1,000 slots to enter into the Heavenly Sea Mystery Realm. Thus, I will make an exception, and grant you a slot to enter," Empress Luan Xing said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
This reward was within Ling Han's expectations. Furthermore, would such a powerful figure like the empress specially summon him just to personally announce such news? Thinking about it, the battle prowess that he had displayed was too astonishing, and that was why Empress Luan Xing wanted to observe him at a close distance.
Reading on a phone was more refreshing.
