The green ox was huge, like a small mountain. It was clearly a mutated species of the human world and not ordinary.
Four hooves stepped on the sea, and the waves were calm as if they were walking on flat ground.
Even the carriage pulled by the green ox was stable.
There did not seem to be any shocking aura coming from the ox cart, but the destructive waves caused by the battle between Xu Peng and Cheng Shuzhi, two peak Martial Saints, calmed down because of the ox cart.
Seeing the ox cart, everyone was first startled, and then the people of Eastern Zhou were overjoyed.
It was actually the cart of the Empress of Eastern Zhou.
Being able to make Xu Peng and Cheng Shuzhi stop temporarily, the Empress was undoubtedly in the cart.
Cheng Shuzhi sighed lightly.
He closed the umbrella in his hand and put it away.
Between heaven and earth, heavy rain fell again.
Although the Rain Master was still terrifying, his original shocking sharpness was restrained.
Cheng Shuzhi put the umbrella under his armpit and came to the ox cart.
Xu Peng did not stop him, but looked at the ox cart in Silence.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Cheng Shuzhi bowed to the ox cart. "Now is a troubled time. Because of personal grudges, this subject has provoked unnecessary enemies for our dynasty. Azure Dragon Island has committed a great sin, and has let Your Majesty down. I hope that Your Majesty will forgive me."
The people of Eastern Zhou were moved.
Cheng Shuzhi wanted to limit the grudge to a private matter to avoid involving the Azure Dragon Island.
Eastern Zhou naturally did not fear Azure Dragon Island, but the problem was that there was more than one enemy.
Now, Eastern Zhou had suppressed Yan Ranshan of the Northern Sea. Victory was in sight, but it was not without hidden dangers.
The outcome of the internal strife in the Heavenly River was still unknown, and the Wilderness might be waiting to take advantage of it.
If Azure Dragon Island, the holy land of the Demonic Dao, joined in, it would inevitably cause trouble and the situation would go out of control. It was better to first stabilize the present victory.
In the ox cart, a young girl appeared. She looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, and her features were as beautiful as a painting.
However, holding a half-eaten peach in his hand that was still dripping with juice, slightly affected his image …
Her cheeks puffed up and moved. "What exactly happened?"
Other Eastern Zhou cultivators quickly came forward to report.
The Empress ate the honey peach until only the pit was left. She glanced at Old Man Xianzhu's corpse, and then nodded at Cheng Shuzhi.
"You are a member of my Great Zhou. Xianzhu is also a member of my Great Zhou."
She looked up at the Dragon King, Xu Peng, who was in midair. "Before he made his move, he should have expected that he might face me. But he still came. He should have been prepared, shouldn't he?"
Xu Peng's expression was calm as he nodded. "That's right."
"That's it." The Empress flicked her finger, and the peach pit in her hand instantly shot towards Xu Peng, who was in midair.
A purple dragon soared into the sky, its roar instantly drowning out the roars of the black dragons in mid-air.
Xu Peng, who had already killed Old Man Immortal Bamboo, faced it calmly. Black dragons circled and turned into an ancient dragon rune bell.
The purple dragon collided with the jet-black ancient bell, causing a deafening explosion.
The peach pit was crushed, but the dragon-patterned ancient bell also shook.
In the next instant, a palm struck the Ancient Dragon Mark Bell!
From Xu Peng's perspective, this palm did not come from a certain direction. Instead, the entire universe seemed to have turned into the other party's palm force, surrounding and pressing toward him from all directions.
The dragon-patterned ancient bell protected Xu Peng in the center, but after being struck by this palm, the sound of the bell abruptly stopped.
The ancient bell, which was originally shaking and swaying, withstood the force coming from all directions. In a split second, it froze in midair, motionless.
On the surface of the sea below, the Empress struck out again.
Vigorous purple Qi condensed into a giant purple hand in midair and heavily struck the surface of the dragon-patterned ancient bell.
A crisp sound seemed to ring in everyone's ears.
Cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the dragon-patterned ancient bell.
"Your Majesty, King Fuyao …" Cheng Shuzhi hesitated. Finally, he sighed softly and solemnly bowed to the Empress.
The Empress casually struck out another palm strike on the ancient bell.
The fine cracks on the surface of the ancient bell instantly turned into huge cracks that could be seen with the naked eye.
Chen Luoyang's Half Sea Daoist clone had already retreated far away.
He could not clearly see the specific details of the battle between the two sides. He could only vaguely see a worldly anomaly.
However, even so, he was able to see some clues.
Peak Martial Saints like Queen of the Wilderness Qing Kongsang, "Dragon King" Xu Peng, and "Rain Master" Cheng Shuzhi had the ability to temporarily resist or escape when faced with some big shots.
But in the end, there was still a huge gap between them and big shots in the Martial Saint Realm.
The gap between a Martial Saint and a Martial Saint was much larger than the gap between a Martial Emperor and a Martial Saint.
After all, risking one's life to pass the Heavenly Barrier was a true moat.
In history, there had never been a precedent of a Martial Saint completely failing when facing a Martial Saint.
Moreover, Empress Xu Ruotong was ranked among the top Martial Saint Realm big shots in the present Mortal World. She could face Ancestor Blood River and the king of the Wilderness Tribe head-on.
Although "Dragon King" Xu Peng was known as one of the few closest to a big shot, he was not a big shot. Facing an opponent at the level of the Empress, there was no suspense to speak of.
If it were other enemies, there might be a possibility of escaping, but against existences like the Empress and Ancestor Blood River, it would be difficult to escape.
However, as the Empress had said, Xu Peng had come to seek revenge on Old Man Immortal Bamboo today to fulfill his deceased mother's dying wish. He had expected such an outcome.
So, at this moment, while giving it his all, he was calm and unperturbed.
The Empress was even calmer. Palm after palm, she treated her opponent as a target, just like how she usually practiced martial arts.
With a few palm strikes, she shattered the ancient dragon inscription bell on the spot!
She struck again. As the purple dragon roared, another dragon roar suddenly sounded in the air. The imperial aura was not obvious, but it was exactly the same as Xu Peng's, full of domineering fierceness.
Another black dragon rushed out and helped Xu Peng block the Empress's palm strike.
The Empress's expression did not change, and her hand did not stop. She immediately followed up with another palm strike.
As the black dragon circled, an old woman appeared in front of Xu Peng and helped him block another palm strike.
It was one of the top ten powerhouses of the Mortal Demon Path, the Island Lord of Azure Dragon Island, Bao Lvqi.
Xu Peng left the island to seek revenge. She found out too late and did not have time to stop him. She could only hurry and chase after him. As a result, she ran into the Empress of Eastern Zhou.
As a Martial Venerable, her attack power was more vigorous than Xu Peng's.
Just like how Wei Ling improved the Dragon-Tiger Seven Saints Spear, his father Wei Chaoran also benefited from it.
Xu Peng studied and even improved the unique arts of Azure Dragon Island. The Island Lord also benefited a lot. The Azure Dragon Ten Absolutes were launched, and he became more and more experienced.
However, even with her thousand years of cultivation, it was still difficult to match the Empress's peerless achievements.
The Empress's attainment of the Nine Heavens Godly Palm exceeded that of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty's predecessors. It overturned heaven and earth and controlled time. Under her palm strike, it was extremely profound and domineering.
The young girl's moves seemed to be a rigid routine without any variation, but only those who had personally fought with her could truly understand that from the moment she made her move, the situation had completely fallen into her rhythm, and it was difficult to reverse it.
It was as if the world's principles should be like this. The ups and downs of all living beings should also go with the tide, and not go against the general trend.
As experienced and ruthless as the Island Lord was, he could only barely hold on.
The Azure Dragon Island disciple Han Zheng and others who came with her hurriedly came forward to help Xu Peng.
Han Zheng took out a red gourd, poured out a spirit pill, and fed it to Xu Peng to help him recover his lost strength.
Xu Peng waved his hand at them. "You guys leave first, lest you get involved."
The Island Lord was already unable to withstand the Empress's attacks.
However, she smiled calmly. "Emperor Zhou is indeed a genius, and I am ashamed of my inferiority. Compared to you, my many years of hard cultivation have been mediocre.
However, Han Shang of Yan Ran Mountain is still in your country's territory, and it is not good for Emperor Zhou to leave him alone, right? "
Cheng Shuzhi and the other Eastern Zhou cultivators heard this and frowned.
The Island Lord naturally wouldn't fight to the death with Eastern Zhou here for Yan Ran Mountain of the Northern Sea.
If she really couldn't win, she would definitely escape immediately.
At worst, she would give up on Xu Peng and other disciples, and find a chance to take revenge in the future.
She might not be a match for the Empress herself, but Eastern Zhou had more enemies.
Yan Ran Mountain of the Northern Sea was just one of them.
Hearing the Island Lord's words, the Empress only nodded calmly.
"En, yes."
However, he had no intention of stopping.
Her palm strike became increasingly erratic and unpredictable. Not only did it strike toward Azure Dragon Island Master, it also struck toward Xu Peng, enveloping both of them within the force of her palm.
Azure Dragon Island Master himself was already overwhelmed, let alone protecting Xu Peng.
The situation was somewhat ironic. It was as though the scene of Cheng Shuzhi protecting Old Man Immortal Bamboo and fighting Xu Peng had reappeared.
However, the positions of the two sides were completely reversed.
The situation was even worse.
Cheng Shuzhi could not protect Old Man Immortal Bamboo, but he could still fight Xu Peng.
And at this moment, facing the Empress, Azure Dragon Island Master was quickly like a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river, and he could not even protect himself.
What shocked her was that it seemed to be extremely difficult to break out of the encirclement.
The Empress launched palm strike after palm strike, forming her own Palm Technique. The might of her palm enveloped heaven and earth, condensing and not dissipating, and faintly sealing off the surrounding space.
Even with Azure Dragon Island Master's great power, he was unable to break through it immediately.
The barrier formed by the palm had sealed off time and space. The young girl's intention was obviously to keep the Azure Dragon Island master and disciple here!
When the people of Eastern Zhou saw this, they looked at each other and were speechless.
Their Majesty's thoughts were still so brash and willful.
Since they were already enemies, then they would get rid of them on the spot today. There was naturally no need to worry about future troubles.
Cheng Shuzhi's face twitched twice.
Fortunately, after the battle to kill Ancestor Blood River last year, their Majesty had cultivated in peace, and her strength had improved again …
When Empress Xu Ruotong attacked, she was bold and brash, but also patient and meticulous.
The fierce and overbearing palm force weaved into a fine and meticulous net, finally covering all directions and pressing down on the people of Azure Dragon Island in the center with an unstoppable momentum.
The black dragons let out sorrowful cries.
Azure Dragon Island Master's expression was extremely serious, and he could only bitterly hold on.
Chen Luoyang's Taoist Half Sea doppelganger watched from afar, deep in thought. Silence, he waited.
However, he was not waiting for Azure Dragon Island Master, but for someone else.
Xu Peng, who faced the Empress of Eastern Zhou together with Azure Dragon Island Master, showed a rare look of surprise on his usually calm and cold face.
He hesitated slightly, and finally let out a long breath.
The next moment, the ten "black dragons" disappeared.
The ten White Bone Dragons took their place and soared into the sky.
Terrifying and eerie, like the hoarse roars of the Yellow Springs, resounded throughout the East Sea.
