Chapter 101: Chapter 100: On This Day, I Became Light

In the radiant golden light, Luo Wusheng, who was still in his stealth state, opened his mouth with a somewhat vacant expression.

At this moment, his left eye was hollow, and the bloody patterns appeared once again at the corner of his eye. The eyeball that carried part of his spiritual awareness had submerged below the battlefield, attaching itself to the shadow of an ordinary bird that had fainted due to the pressure of the Nascent Soul cultivator.

Watching the scene of the Empress drawing her domineering sword, even Luo Wusheng couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.

Indeed, she was the strongest combat force that he currently has been in contact with, the Empress even stronger than he had imagined.

’Although I already anticipated this from the original work, witnessing it firsthand is still incredibly shocking…’

In the original plot, the Empress was the main force in suppressing the Netherkin forces.

How powerful is the Empress with the Human Emperor Sword?

If she were outside the Immortal Nation, she might only be equivalent to someone in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

However, within the Immortal Nation, the Empress could rival someone in the late stage of Nascent Soul.

If it were in the Royal City…

Luo Wusheng, with only his right eye remaining, squinted slightly.

The people around him, also enveloped in golden light, showed expressions of excitement after witnessing the terrifying power of the Human Emperor Sword.

Initially, when they saw the Empress alone with the Human Emperor Sword entering the sealing array and being surrounded by Netherkin Nascent Souls expert, they were a bit anxious and thought the Empress was too reckless, venturing so deeply into enemy lines.

There were still more Nascent Souls experts in the Immortal Nation, and they could have waited until the Netherkin forces were affected by the sealing array and then unleashed their attacks, overwhelming the Netherkin Nation armies.

Although there might be a few escapees, it would be a safer approach.

However, seeing the power demonstrated by the Empress, their words were swallowed back.

It seems it’s not as dangerous as they imagined?

As they breathed a sigh of relief, they also realized that there was something in their minds that they couldn’t comprehend with their current cultivation level.

Instantly, they were filled with excitement.

The battle hadn’t even officially begun, and this group of spectators had already gained benefits.

’…Is it the Dao Essence triggered by the swing of the Human Emperor Sword? But there are too many impurities, it’s of no use to me.’

Luo Wusheng, who was only one step away from reaching the Nascent Soul realm, quickly understood what information he had obtained and sighed helplessly.

Advancing to the Nascent Soul realm required some understanding of the so-called Great Dao and incorporating suitable Dao Essence into one’s own body.

Although Luo Wusheng hadn’t taken that step yet, he still had some understanding.

At this moment, he felt a slight movement in his heart.

There was a new change on the battlefield.

He quickly shifted his focus to the eyeball beneath the battlefield.

He saw that after the Netherkin Nascent Souls realized that their sneak attacks were all blocked, they were all somewhat wary and didn’t approach the Empress.

In a situation where they didn’t know the true strength of the Empress wielding the Human Emperor Sword, none of them wanted to be the first to stick their necks out.

But while they remained motionless, the Empress made a move.

The carvings on the radiant golden Human Emperor Sword seemed to light up, as if depicting the vastness of all living beings.

“The First Strike.”

The voice of the girl holding the sword was indifferent, emanating an imperial aura.

As her words fell, faint starlight seemed to rise from the bodies of the people in the northern part of the Royal City, converging into the carvings on the sword.

Luo Wusheng, concealed among the crowd, nodded as he watched this scene.

This first strike was borrowing the power of all living beings.

Within the Immortal Nation, the Empress carried the fate of the nation and had karmic connections with all the living beings in the realm. In this situation, she could use the Human Emperor Sword to trigger the aura of all the living beings within the range and infuse it into a single strike.

Especially within the Royal City, this kind of infusion would be extremely astonishing.

But something seems off?

Looking at the sparse starlight rising from the bodies of the surrounding crowd and realizing that he didn’t seem to be affected at all, Luo Wusheng raised an eyebrow.

What’s going on? Could it be that his karmic connection with the Empress is not enough? So she can’t trigger the aura within him and gather the power of all living beings?

He speculated in his mind but quickly found the real reason.

It was that mind-reading eyeball!

For some reason, it completely locked his aura!

With a slight frown, Luo Wusheng closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his left eye had returned to its original state.

’Huh? It’s not completely locked— As long as I want to, I can use my spiritual awareness to touch this blockade and release my aura…’

So, should he remove it?

Hmm… Since the Empress is one of the most powerful members of Little Yuli original harem, it wouldn’t be good for him to refuse helping her, right?

Besides, she knows that he’s observing from the northern part of the Royal City. What if she’s displeased if she finds out he didn’t lend her his power? He was even thinking of recruiting her into his side.

Thinking this through, Luo Wusheng no longer hesitated.

’Even though the power drawn from my aura might not be much— go ahead and accept my power, young lady!’

Seal, released!

…

On the battlefield.

The Empress, who was gathering the power of all living beings into the Human Emperor Sword, felt a trace of confusion in her eyes.

’Something seems off— The gathered power of all living beings is much less than I expected…’

What happened? Did the Netherkin Nation forces do something to counter it?

No— Her response was swift, and these Netherkin Nation forces couldn’t have figured it out. Their previous panic seemed genuine…

The Empress’s heart sank as she began to ponder if something unexpected had occurred. Then, she heard a commotion coming from a distance behind her. Even though she was in mid-air, she could still hear it.

Being in the midst of battle, she didn’t intend to let herself be distracted, but she noticed that even the Netherkin forces opposite her were staring dumbfoundedly in a certain direction behind her.

What was in that direction?

The Empress remained on guard and, after a moment of hesitation, shifted her gaze slightly.

Then, she saw the light.

The starlight formed by the power of all living beings flowed like a stream, pouring into the Human Emperor Sword in her hand.

In that instant, the power of all living beings gathered in the Human Emperor Sword nearly doubled compared to before!

Maintaining her expressionless imperial demeanor with utmost composure, the young Empress looked towards the source of the stream of starlight.

Upon closer inspection, she recognized a figure within the dense starlight.

’One person? How can one person possess such a massive amount of power from all living beings?!’

The Empress felt a sense of absurdity.

While it was true that the quantity of power from all living beings that the Human Emperor Sword could harness varied depending on the karmic connections, the difference shouldn’t be this significant!

The term “power from all living beings” implied that the power primarily originated from the life force of individuals, and each individual could only contribute a limited amount of power.

But now— to generate this much power from all living beings, how much karmic connection did she have with him?

At that moment, she felt a flicker in her heart.

’…Is it him?’

Although she didn’t release her spiritual awareness to investigate, the Empress already knew who the figure in the starlight was.

The Holy Saint of the Demon Sect, Luo Wusheng!

This man, who was originally just the Head of the Demon Artifact Pavilion, had now revealed an unimaginable presence that would tip the scale to the Immortal Nation side in the Netherkin Extermination Operation today.
