"How could this be... how is this possible..."
Li Wushang collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with shock, his face twisted in disbelief.
He possessed a Kingly Physique, outstanding natural talent, and numerous abilities that he hadn't even used yet—yet, he had been defeated like this?
And worse, he had been utterly crushed by Ye Lingxue's hands. The defeat was so complete it was almost impossible for Li Wushang to accept.
"The ruthless Emperor truly is unfathomable. His talents are unparalleled, shocking the ages."
On the other side of the arena, watching Li Wushang's miserable state, Ye Lingxue couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
For these past days, she had been diligently cultivating the Heaven-Devouring Inheritance's ancient scriptures.
The scriptures elaborated on the myriad paths and detailed the cultivation understanding of different realms, far surpassing Ye Lingxue's previous knowledge.
It was as though a great enlightenment had descended upon her mind, and she had gained much.
Moreover, the scriptures also recorded several incredibly powerful killing techniques.
Ye Lingxue had studied tirelessly day and night, but she had only just mastered the basics of the "Blossoming Thought, Ruling the World" technique.
However, even just mastering the basics, its power was already fully displayed today.
Even Li Wushang, with his Kingly Physique and at the same realm, couldn't withstand a single blow and was effortlessly defeated!
"How dare you! How dare you injure the young master of the Illusion Extinction Palace, provoking the Palace's wrath! You all shall die!"
Below the arena, an elder from the Illusion Extinction Palace, who had arrived with Li Wushang, roared in anger upon seeing Li Wushang's state.
Everything had happened so quickly, too fast for him to even react.
He stomped his foot on the ground, a powerful aura erupting from his body as he prepared to leap onto the stage.
But at that moment, a far greater force locked onto him, rendering him immobile.
"Snow Sect Leader, are you planning to go to war with my Illusion Extinction Palace?"
The elder's face darkened as he looked towards the source of the power.
Only Snow Ruoyan in the vicinity of Ice and Snow City could have done such a thing, suppressing an elder of the Illusion Extinction Palace, whose cultivation was at the Dragon Transformation Realm.
"On the arena, life and death are decided. Whether Li Wushang lives or dies depends on Lingxue's choice."
Snow Ruoyan's figure floated down gracefully, her voice calm.
It was only now, when Li Wushang's life was in question, that anyone cared for his safety.
Before, when Li Wushang arrogantly demanded to take Lingxue as his wife, no one from the Illusion Extinction Palace had spoken out!
On the arena, Ye Lingxue walked toward Li Wushang with calm steps.
"Cough, cough, you've won."
Li Wushang let out a miserable laugh, but his gaze soon turned sinister as he looked at Ye Lingxue.
"But so what? Even if you win, you can never escape from my grasp!
If you refuse my demands, I will have my father take action and level your Ice and Snow Sect!
The ants in Ice and Snow City will be thrown into the source mines to become slaves!
Ye Lingxue, have you thought about it? If you dare defy me, your sect brothers and sisters, even your master, and all the mortals in this city will die a miserable death because of you!"
Li Wushang's words were vicious and full of malice, like a demon from hell.
So what if he lost?
He had the entire Illusion Extinction Palace backing him.
In the vast region surrounding him, no one dared to challenge the Illusion Extinction Palace!
Li Wushang was confident, almost to the point of arrogance.
But just as his words fell...
An overwhelming, world-shaking, earth-shattering aura burst forth, shaking the heavens and stirring the earth.
The Great Saint Physique had descended!
Standing in the source mines, a single thought from the Great Saint Physique wiped out all the Illusion Extinction Palace cultivators, including Li Dao Lin.
Leaving the ancient mines, he stood atop the nine heavens. With a single gesture, he wiped out the Illusion Extinction Palace, erasing it from existence.
Then, he entered the forbidden lands of the ancient clans, intimidating all the royal families as though the world was his.
In Ice and Snow City, the world fell silent.
All the beings were so terrified by the might of the Great Saint Physique that they knelt, humbled before it.
On the arena, Li Wushang, who had been laughing cruelly moments ago, now looked like someone had grabbed his throat. He could no longer manage a single laugh.
Li Dao Lin was dead; the Illusion Extinction Palace was destroyed!
Although Li Wushang was thousands of miles away from the Great Saint Physique, the deeds of the Great Saint Physique had already been etched into the world's Dao patterns, displayed before all the beings of the Eastern Wasteland Region.
His father was dead? The Illusion Extinction Palace destroyed by a single finger?
Li Wushang's face was filled with disbelief. He couldn't accept the truth.
But Ye Lingxue wasn't concerned with his thoughts.
The appearance of the Great Saint Physique was indeed shocking to her.
But even if the Great Saint Physique hadn't destroyed the Illusion Extinction Palace, she hadn't intended to spare Li Wushang.
The path of the Empress's inheritance was a blood-soaked and difficult one.
To grow stronger, she must devour the essence of all Kingly Physiques.
Thus, Li Wushang must die!
Standing before him, Ye Lingxue looked down with cold eyes. She pointed, and a streak of black light shot from her fingertip, entering Li Wushang's body.
Soon after, something that caused Li Wushang immense pain happened.
The starlight-like aura on his body began to fade.
The powerful aura of the Kingly Physique seemed to be consumed, gradually dissipating.
"You... you are devouring my physique?"
Li Wushang's teeth chattered, his eyes filled with shock as he looked at Ye Lingxue.
But his question went unanswered.
The black light emerged from Li Wushang's body, returning to Ye Lingxue.
On her skin, faint starlight seemed to shimmer!
Then, Ye Lingxue struck out with a palm, effortlessly taking Li Wushang's life.
Li Wushang fell!
The elder from the Illusion Extinction Palace below the arena also met the same fate, easily killed by Snow Ruoyan.
Illusion Extinction Palace cultivators, almost all of them stained with the blood of their own kin, were ruthless by nature. To be able to rise to the rank of elder in the palace, they were all cold-blooded and merciless.
Such people deserved to die!
...
In Ice and Snow City, Ye Lingxue's killing of Li Wushang stunned everyone.
This triggered the accumulation of Awe Points, all of which were absorbed by Qin Mu.
Awe Points could also be earned not only through setting up secret realms but also when individuals left the secret realms with opportunities or benefits. If they used these opportunities to shock others, the emotions of shock would be transformed into Awe Points, which Qin Mu could absorb.
"The Saint Physique Inheritance Secret Realm has come to an end. It's time to plan the next step."
Qin Mu walked with his hands behind his back across the Eastern Wasteland.
In this Saint Physique Inheritance Secret Realm, he had gained a massive 3.5 million Awe Points.
Now, he needed to carefully consider how to use these 3.5 million Awe Points.
Next, which secret realm should he set up?
