Chapter 102: Chapter 101: The Empress Lifts Her Sword Once Again

Bathed in the starlight, Luo Wusheng’s facial expression was truly remarkable.

At this moment, he had completely dispelled the stealth technique on his body.

After all, as he had transformed into light and became the center of attention, there was no point in hiding anymore.

However, he quickly found the true reason for the current situation.

Such rich power from all living beings couldn’t possibly be emitted by him alone.

Superficially, it appeared that the power flowing in the form of starlight streams originated from his body. But Luo Wusheng knew clearly in his heart that the true source of this power was his left eye at this moment.

To be precise, it was the vast number of residual images within the Eye Space of the mind-reading eyeball.

Power from all living beings couldn’t only be obtained from humans.

At this moment, all the friendly and neutral beings within the range enveloped by the golden light could have their aura drawn and combined into power from all living beings by the Human Emperor Sword.

But a problem arose.

When beings that left residual images wanted to establish a connection with something, they had to pass through the Eye Space of the mind-reading eyeball— just like the fake Diviner Gao Shi, who intended to establish a connection with the Heavenly Mechanism.

And the mind-reading eyeball initially sealed off this power.

Thus, these beings from the northern part of the Royal City, who left residual images, found themselves in a state of borrowing power but not completely borrowing it.

Until the moment Luo Wusheng lifted the seal of the eyeball.

Through the peculiar connection established by the mind-reading eyeball, the power borrowed by those beings didn’t manifest from their bodies. Instead, it eerily floated out from the residual images within the Eye Space of the eyeball. After forming streams, it moved away from the space, flowed from Luo Wusheng’s left eye as the source, and enveloped his entire body, moving towards the direction of the Human Emperor Sword.

’In other words, at this moment, I represent not only myself, but also almost all the insects, ants, birds, and beasts in the northern part of the Royal City…’

Thinking about himself, who had just diligently gathered the residual images, Luo Wusheng had no idea what expression he had on his face anymore.

Fortunately, the effect of the Holy Light was not inferior to the sun, and the people around couldn’t see his face clearly.

However, some people recognized him.

“What— What’s going on? Weren’t there no people here just now? Why did such a strange phenomenon suddenly appear?”

“That figure in the starlight… It feels somewhat familiar…”

“It’s Lord Luo! The Holy Saint of the Demon Sect from the Demon Artifact Pavilion! I attended the opening ceremony of the Demon Artifact Pavilion the other day. Although I can’t see his face clearly now, the figure is exactly the same as Lord Luo, who exterminated the Nascent Soul blood mist Netherkin with a single strike. I couldn’t possibly be mistaken!”

“Now that you mention it— this aura does seem to be Lord Luo— Yes, besides the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect who can achieve such an extraordinary feat at this moment, who else could create such a strange—”

“The Holy Saint of the Demon Sect is truly different from ordinary people, so terrifying!”

The surrounding crowd slightly distanced themselves from Luo Wusheng, leaving a circular space for him, making him even more conspicuous at this moment.

This sudden turn of events also caught the attention of the Nascent Souls from the Immortal Nations who had laid down the sealing array within the battlefield.

Among them, the Night Crow, who was acquainted with Luo Wusheng, felt that he should make a new mask for himself.

Well, it should be an ultra-secure one that doesn’t easily come off.

Since getting to know the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect, his position as the head of intelligence for the Six Gate Bureau had nearly lost his mask multiple times due to being startled.

With this thought in mind, he glanced at the dumbfounded expressions on the faces of the Nascent Souls who were in formation with him, and his heart felt more at ease.

Well, at least he still had a mask.

…

Within the sealing array.

“No! We can’t let her unleash this strike!”

Sensing the terrifying power that swelled within the Human Emperor Sword, the emaciated Goat Netherkin finally snapped out of his momentary shock.

When he initially saw the Human Emperor Sword dissolve all their sneak attacks with its golden light, he indeed felt some fear. However, he didn’t sense any immediate danger intuitively.

Similarly, when he sensed the Empress gathering power from all living beings, he didn’t think there was anything formidable about it.

In his opinion, such a strike would at most approach the level of late-stage Nascent Soul, and he could easily withstand it.

But after the starlight streams also flowed into the sword, his expression instantly changed.

Is it possible for someone in the early Nascent Soul stage to unleash such power?

Could a Divine Artifact be so terrifying?

Thinking this, he couldn’t help but look towards the source of the starlight streams.

It was obvious that the sudden increase in power of the Human Emperor Sword was related to the figure covered in light.

’Damn it! The despicable Immortal Nation, is this their hidden technique?!’

As the emaciated Goat Netherkin secretly resented, several Nascent Soul Netherkin surrounding the Empress couldn’t contain their excitement after hearing his words.

Faced with the terrifying pressure about to descend upon them, three Nascent Soul Netherkin exchanged a glance and their nether energy surged.

In an instant, blood-red winds rose, and there was a continuous wail of ghosts. The Empress was surrounded by sinister forest shadows composed of bones.

After they made their move, others quickly followed suit.

Among the three powerful Netherkin, Pig, Ox, and Goat, it was evident that the Ox Netherkin couldn’t contain his impatience. He snorted loudly, and his body swelled once again.

Behind him, a gigantic black ox image manifested, and as he swung his fist, the black ox image stomped its hooves violently and charged towards the Empress.

Although the emaciated Goat Netherkin was the first to speak of stopping the Empress, he actually took a step back and stood behind the massive Pig Netherkin. He closed his right eye, and a drop of black blood flowed from the closed eye.

The Pig Netherkin seemed somewhat dissatisfied with the Goat Netherkin’s actions and shook its fat body after grunting a few times.

The mountain of flesh rolled, gathering nether energy on its body. In the blink of an eye, the Pig Netherkin’s skin turned into a dark silver color.

This precarious situation made the onlookers below, who were witnessing the battle, tense. Their attention shifted from Luo Wusheng, who was covered in starlight, back to the Empress.

However, the Empress remained indifferent in the face of the Netherkin’ onslaught.

It seemed that only the earlier changes involving a certain Holy Saint of the Demon Sect could surprise her tonight.

Die

With a voice that seemed to directly transmit into the minds of the people in the Royal City, the Empress stopped absorbing power from all living beings with the Human Emperor Sword at that moment.

The sword lightly descended.

The onlookers widened their eyes as they watched this scene unfold.

They found it hard to describe what had just happened.

The techniques employed by the Nascent Soul Netherkin shattered in an instant, and the black Ox image directly disintegrated after emitting a mournful scream.

A clear sword wound seemed to transcend time and space, appearing directly in the chests of all the Nascent Soul Netherkin present, including the emaciated Goat Netherkin hiding behind the Pig Netherkin.

However, the damage inflicted on the Goat Netherkin and the Pig Netherkin was the lightest, only minor injuries.

The Ox Netherkin that launched the attack on the black Ox image forcefully spat out a mouthful of nether blood, clearly suffering significant injuries.

But those who were even more severely injured were the four Nascent Soul Netherkin who didn’t immediately join the attack. The sword wounds on their chests revealed shattered flesh and bone, indicating serious injuries.

As for the three ordinary Nascent Soul Netherkin who made the first move— They were instantly slain by a single strike!

When they looked at the Empress, the eyes of these Netherkin Nation soldiers were filled with shock.

However, the Empress simply raised the Human Emperor Sword once again.

“Second strike.”

On the Human Emperor Sword, the engraved patterns transformed into the appearance of mountains, rivers, and lakes.
