A shocking turn of events unfolded within the ancient bronze hall, as an overwhelming wave of murderous intent rose, and with just one flicker of this deathly aura, it reduced Shikang to ashes.
Before he could even utter a single word, before his towering Holy Ancestor weapon could offer any protection, Shikang was obliterated in an instant. The weapon projection above his head collapsed in the wake of that killing intent, utterly useless.
The speed at which he perished was so rapid that the ancient beings from the Feather and Nine-Headed Divine Lion tribes had no time to react. By the time they even noticed what was happening, Shikang—along with everything he was—had already vanished from existence.
This was a force of the level of an ancient emperor, an energy far beyond what any Holy Weapon projection could withstand.
"Shikang is dead... This is real, not some kind of illusion!"
Feather You's heart raced uncontrollably, his pulse pounding in his throat. He never imagined that Shikang would die so decisively, without a shred of resistance.
Other ancient beings stood frozen, their expressions filled with disbelief. The death of Shikang left You completely abandoning any lingering doubts.
"This place... is truly left by that Human Empress. It cannot be fake!"
Who among the human race could set up such a deadly trap? The power released here was on the level of an emperor, an ancient king's resonance! Not even the combined might of all the remaining saints of the human race could achieve this!
Outside the ancient hall, in the Snowy City, when the people of the human race saw Shikang being annihilated by the emperor's killing aura, they erupted in joyous and furious shouts!
This was the fate of anyone who dared to desecrate the ancient Human Empress!
Within the bronze hall, although Shikang was dead, it was far from over.
The ground was covered with shining runes that radiated boundless light, dazzling and glorious. The runes shimmered, each one exuding a terrifying murderous intent that seemed to distort the very fabric of the heavens.
At this moment, the hall was consumed by a surging chaotic mist, completely swallowing the four red coffins. The space around them collapsed, and everything within it was submerged in an ocean of destruction.
Only the vast, unstoppable killing intent remained.
"Empress... has awakened... The killing formation of the ancient emperor is back!" Feather You's heart pounded in terror as he realized what was happening. He barely managed to croak out, "Run! Quick, run away!"
The formations on the ground were not merely decorative. They were the markings of an ancient emperor-level killing formation—an emperor's wrath incarnate!
This was the Ancient Emperor Killing Formation, an array so powerful that unless one used weapons of comparable might—like the legendary weapons of ancient emperors—no one could survive it!
Feather You's eyes widened in fear as he turned to flee, abandoning his own kin in the process. His only thought was to escape the horrendous place.
However, it was already too late.
The formation had revived as if it were alive. Waves of killing intent surged forth, cutting through the air like blades, targeting all the ancient beings within the hall.
The killing waves struck with precision, like gleaming swords in the sky, cleaving through each ancient life form they touched. Not even Shikang, with his Holy Weapon projection, could resist even for a moment.
For the others, it was even worse.
The killing intent swept through the hall, tearing everything apart like a tide of destruction. Blood bloomed in the air, but before it could even hit the ground, it was vaporized by the all-encompassing death energy.
Feather You barely managed to escape two steps before a wave of killing intent surged in and erased him from existence, leaving no trace behind.
Outside the hall, Snowy Yanyu stood still, staring at the devastation.
The killing intent swirled around her, but for reasons she couldn't explain, it deliberately avoided her standing position, only targeting the ancient beings.
Was it the will of the Empress? Did she spare Snowy Yanyu, the only one who showed reverence, while eradicating all others who dared to challenge her?
In that moment, as she gazed at the four ancient coffins enveloped in chaos, Snowy Yanyu's expression turned to one of awe.
Her admiration for the Human Empress reached its peak in that instant.
As the killing formation finally subsided, only Snowy Yanyu remained untouched, standing alone amidst the devastation. All the ancient beings had been annihilated, erased from existence, as if they had never been there.
