The light of the inheritance enveloped the fourteen people. It was dazzling. As the will of the divine guards weakened, the auras of those who received the inheritance grew stronger.
Hum.
One of the balls of light dispersed. Ning Tianxing's body flowed with powerful Dili. A brand new halo appeared under his feet. It shone brightly with the other eight halos. At this moment, his temperament was extremely transcendent. The will of the emperor resonated with the Great Dao. He had completed his Dao and become an emperor.
Immediately after, the positions of Xiao Han and Qingzhi Han also shone with emperor light. The nine Emperor's Rings of Dao Validation bloomed. It was extremely beautiful. The emperor's aura made people's hearts tremble.
The holy light that enveloped Lei Jiao dissipated. He was in the seventh-tier of Dao Validation.
The others had also completed the fusion. Their cultivations had improved. Among them, Old Man Taia's aura was the most terrifying. His aged body was surrounded by the will of the Dao. It was terrifying. He had truly reached a critical point. It was as if he would summon a heavenly tribulation in the next moment.
Zhu Mian, Gu Che, and Old Man Taia's situation were similar. The three of them were already at the peak of Dao Validation. After fusing with the divine guard's inheritance, their will of the Dao had almost broken through the barrier of Dao Validation. They could summon a heavenly tribulation with just a thought. The reason why they had not broken through was probably related to the environment. It was not suitable for them to undergo a heavenly tribulation.
Qin Yun had fused with the divine guard's inheritance. His body had also changed, but his change was relatively small. The others had at least broken through one level of Dao Validation power, but Qin Yun's power did not increase. The divine guard's inheritance was extensive and profound. It required a long time to integrate with the will of the Dao. Qin Yun's talent was limited. He could not compare with Xiao Han and Ning Tianxing. He was even inferior to Lei Jiao.
However, this would not hinder his achievements. It would just take him longer than the others. Qin Hao could feel that the divine guard's inheritance and Qin Yun's emperor's will had been completely imprinted. He could digest this power bit by bit in the future. As long as he worked hard enough, his achievements might not be lower than the other thirteen.
The fourteen divine guards disappeared. There were no more obstacles in front of the Temple of the Buried God. At this moment, the atmosphere in the valley became extremely quiet. The cultivators of various forces stared at the sky staircase with burning eyes. They all had the same thought: climb the sky staircase and enter the temple.
No one dared to make the first move. If it were not for Zhanlou and Cen Gang's suppression, the situation would not have been like this. They would have probably rushed to the Divine Palace with all their might to fight for the "divine objects" left behind by the ancient gods.
However, no one knew that it was an empty palace. There was no divine object inside at all.
Amidst the quiet atmosphere, the various powers were waiting. Even though they were burning with impatience and crazily coveting the treasures, no one dared to make a move. All the powers understood that before this, the War God Hall and the Grand Qin Empire had a matter to resolve.
This matter was also the main reason why the two big shots had entered the God Burial Ruins.
Mu Yuwei.
"Still not coming out?"
On the war god's chariot, Zhan Lou shouted in a solemn voice. His voice rumbled towards the shrine, "The divine guards' defense line has been broken and the stairway to heaven is unimpeded. Must I enter the shrine personally?"
The Great Emperor of True Self's voice penetrated the spiritual souls of all the cultivators, making them feel as if their heartstrings were being torn apart. It was full of awe, and it was transmitted into the Divine Palace. He wanted Mu Yuwei to take the initiative.
At this moment, as the voice was heard, everyone looked up and saw a hazy figure slowly appear in front of the majestic door of the temple.
When this figure appeared, it immediately grabbed everyone's attention and made all the cultivators' hearts clench fiercely.
It was a woman. Her body was stained with blood. Although there was not much, her injuries were all fatal. Streaks of dried blood were branded on her clothes and scabs had formed on her long hair. She did not even have the strength to stand firmly. Her weak body leaned against the door of the shrine. One pale hand was holding onto the cold wall of the shrine, barely supporting herself.
The other hand had completely disappeared from her forearm.
Traces of cold wind seemed to blow through the valley.
Dong!
Xiao Han's heartstrings trembled. He looked at the end of the stairway in shock. Under the messy hair, he saw a sad but beautiful face. This face was not unfamiliar. It was Mu Yuwei, who had shocked the Northern Borderline with her sword.
Empress Ziwei of the Eastern Sea.
But now, she had fallen into such a state.
She no longer had the elegance of an Empress. She was no longer the noble Empress who had frightened the upper echelons of the Sect in the Emperor Martial Arts Competition. Mu Yuwei's aura was too weak. Looking at the wounds all over her body and her missing forearm, even Xiao Han felt a burst of heartache.
Most of the overlords in the valley felt the same way, especially those from the East Continent. In their impression, Mu Yuwei had dominated the Hundred Islands of the East Sea 600 years ago. Her name had shaken the Five Realms of the East Continent. She was one of the few people who could step onto Dendi's Sunset Peak.
Moreover, she was the only woman from the other overlords who had the qualifications to go to Sunset Peak.
Apart from her, there was no third person besides the current Empress Ling Xuan.
Mu Yuwei was a representative of the same era as Dendi and the Sunset Battle God.
Who would have thought that she would end up in such a miserable state?
In this trip to the ruins, the overlords of the four regions were determined to find treasures. Whether Mu Yuwei lived or died had nothing to do with them. But now that they saw her, they could not help but sigh and feel sad.
"Auntie, that person, she …" Qin Baobao's little face was filled with fear. Mu Yuwei's appearance was indeed a bit cruel to her.
Yun Rou covered the baby's eyes with one hand, not daring to let her see.
"That's cruel."
Sect Master Tatian's mouth trembled. He coldly glanced at the Overlords from Daqin. Sanmu, Taihui and Zhu Mian were probably the ones who had chased after her before.
In any case, Empress Yuwei came from a prestigious family and was close friends with the founding Emperor of the Great Qin Empire. Even if she was under orders to kill them, there was no need to humiliate her like this. If the Elixir Emperor was still around, Zhu Mian and the other two would have no chance of survival.
At this moment, Qin Hao's heart was pounding violently. His gaze followed the Stairway to Heaven, and he looked at her. Every time his heart pounded, it felt like it could tear him apart, shatter him into a million pieces. An indescribable pain caused him to uncontrollably clench his fists. His fingers were about to pierce into his flesh.
"It's okay. It's okay. I can heal you. I'll take you away."
Qin Hao mumbled to himself. It was unknown if he was mumbling to himself or hoping that the weak Qin Wentian could hear him. Qin Hao took a step forward and climbed up the stairs. Under the dumbfounded gazes of all the ascendants in the valley, Qin Hao seemed to be enduring an incomparably immense pressure with every step he took. His body trembled slightly as he moved closer to her.
Cen Gang frowned and glanced at the Battle Tower. The Battle Tower stood quietly on the chariot as if it had acquiesced to Li Chuji's actions.
"Commander."
Zhu Mian's eyes were filled with murderous intent as he spoke.
"It's okay. Let him go," Cen Gang said.
This matter wasn't something that Daqin could decide. The Sunset Battle God and Mu Yuwei had a grudge against each other. He wanted to see what the Battle Tower would do next.
The valley was silent. One could hear the falling leaves. On the Sky Stairway leading to the Divine Palace, Qin Hao walked alone. Every step was difficult.
At this time, the Overlords of the four regions of the Divine Wilderness looked at him quietly. No one disturbed him.
The Battle Tower and Cen Gang didn't stop Li Chuji from moving forward. At this moment, it seemed that everyone had forgotten about the treasures in the Divine Palace. They wanted to see how the grudges that had lasted for six hundred years had evolved.
Mu Yuwei, Dendi's confidant in the past.
Li Chuji, Dendi's descendant.
They were suppressed by the War God Temple and the Daqin. What would the outcome be?
At this time, Mu Yuwei was leaning against the door of the Divine Palace. Her breath was extremely weak. Wisps of blood were still flowing from the corners of her mouth. Under her messy black hair, her pale face had an indescribable beauty. She looked down the Sky Stairway and saw Qin Hao walking up step by step. The two seemed to be standing on opposite ends of the Magpie Bridge. The distance between them wasn't far, but it seemed unreachable.
There was no longer any worry or confusion on her face. Instead, she looked at Qin Hao and smiled. It was as if the gentleness of her life was contained in this smile.
After parting in the Northern Frontier and returning to the Eastern Sea alone, she had already prepared for the worst. Now that she was trapped in the Divine Burial Palace, she didn't have any hope of surviving. Although she still had some regrets in her heart, her greatest wish was to see him one last time. But that would definitely put him in danger. She didn't want Qin Hao to come.
However, humans were all selfish. How could she not have imagined such a selfish scene?
Now, he really came. He returned to the Eastern Continent and entered the Divine Burial Valley again. He walked through the haze of death in his previous life and came to see her.
Since that was the case, what couldn't she let go of?
She wouldn't drive Qin Hao away. She respected his choice. Perhaps the Divine Burial Valley where all the Gods were buried was the best home for them.
"I'll take you home."
His palm gently parted Weiwei's messy hair and stroked her face. Finally, Qin Hao walked in front of her.
"Okay."
Mu Yuwei nodded and let go of the door. Before her weak body fell to the ground, she allowed Qin Hao to carry her on his back.
She didn't know where her home was. The Mu Clan of the Eastern Sea was no longer powerful, and the Sunset Peak had been seized by Zhan Wu. There was no home in the world for her and Dendi. But no matter where Qin Hao went, it would be fine as long as she followed him.
Buzz!
Suddenly, an unparalleled Emperor's Will swept out, as if imprisoning the entire world. The nine Golden Crows cried in the void, and a terrifying Flame of the Way burned through the sky. There was a turbulence in the valley.
"Did I agree to let you take her away?"
An incomparably majestic voice sounded. Zhan Lou spoke to Qin Hao.
"Li Chuji, don't be stubborn."
Cen Gang said in a low voice.
All the cultivators in the valley looked at Qin Hao and Mu Yuwei on his back in shock. He was so bold to take her away in front of Zhan Lou and Cen Gang. Was he crazy?
Xiao Han's hands clenched the corners of her skirt. Looking at Qin Hao and Mu Yuwei, tears fell from her eyes. At this time, she felt extremely uncomfortable. She didn't know how to face the two of them and herself. She had realized that the relationship between Qin Hao and Mu Yuwei was not ordinary. She had prepared herself for him to tell the truth.
But when the truth was in front of her, she found that it was not as forgiving as she had imagined. She couldn't bear it or accept it. She felt that she had been betrayed and abandoned.
Did she regret it?
Being with him.
She had gone through ups and downs and never complained.
She didn't regret it. She was sincere. She believed that Qin Hao was also sincere.
But why?
Why did it become like this? Did he know that he had a daughter?
The terrifying Emperor's Might radiated throughout the world. Zhan Lou's Will crushed Qin Hao, but he didn't care at all. Emperor's Light surged from his body. He carried Weiwei on his back and wanted to escape.
Screech!
The sharp cry of the Golden Crow shook the space. On Zhan Lou's cold helmet, two sharp lights flickered. A supreme Great Dao Will fell down like a hundred heavy mountains.
Creak!
Qin Hao's body bent, and the bones in his body groaned. The golden stairway under his feet seemed to be unable to bear it. A large number of cracks appeared and it was about to fall.
Qin Hao looked up at Zhan Lou. On the chariot, the figure holding the War God's Sword was incomparably majestic. His temperament was very similar to Zhan Wu's.
Moreover, the power of the Dao Will was much stronger than he had imagined. Qin Hao felt that his Demigod Body could not bear the pressure.
"Give her to me and you will still be the Tribulation Sword Emperor."
Zhan Lou said coldly. He would let bygones be bygones. He could tolerate Dendi again.
