Empress Hexena Xylusc took a deep breath. She hesitated a bit before raising her to look at Myria.
"Are you really sure you can improve my bloodline purity?"
"Are you afraid that I'll implant something in you?" Myria smirked.
"Of course not." Empress Hexena Xylusc forced a smile, "I believe in Evelynn. However, you were once called a Fiend and my parents taught your name to me in order to scare me and make me eat healthy yet bitter food. If you can't tell, my fear against you is real."
"…" Myria looked flabbergasted as she blinked her eyes.
She turned to look at Evelynn and saw her nod lightly.
Myria was aware that these two got a look at each other's memories and knew some things about each other, mainly the prominent memories and emotions. For Evelynn to admit it, it seems like she was treated as a children's ghost story to make Empress Hexena eat.
She was speechless.
"You will forget all about it." Myria's cold voice echoed.
She really did want to forget what she did back in those days. The cruelty was high, and she didn't dare to show any mercy, fearing that it would come back to bite her down. As a Saintess, she really was ashamed but didn't regret it since she was pushed into a corner.
Still, she wanted to make sure Davis no longer heard about this matter. She wanted him to see with the same gentle eyes he would look at her with.
"…"
Empress Hexena Xylusc nearly perspired as she held her breath. That sounded like a threat.
Myria finished checking her soul and saw that there was nothing to worry about. She retracted her hand and then traced it down to Empress Hexena Xylusc's big bosoms, her soul sense seeping into her heart.
"Before we start, I suppose you remember the true apex treasure you talked about with Davis?"
"…" Empress Hexena Xylusc blinked.
"No."
Myria frowned, "Don't play dumb. This is more important for me than improving your bloodline purity. If you lie, I won't treat you."
"I seriously don't know." Empress Hexena Xylusc shook her head, "All I can remember is that I remember something like that, and it could alter destinies immensely when used. I heard it from the World Master after I sacrificed myself, knowing it might change my clan's destiny, but they also warned me that the clan could also be destroyed. In fact, they said that destruction was the most likely scenario. I still don't know what it is."
"…" Myria frowned deeply, "Karmic burden made you forget?"
Empress Hexena Xylusc patted her cheek with her finer, "Could be, or it could be the soul separation that you performed on me but I don't think so. I think… I had forgotten what it was even before I had spoken with Davis. You know… I needed to act mysterious in order to convince him and Evelynn that I was something big when I was simply a woman drowning and seeking help…"
"…" Myria went speechless again.
She didn't know what to say since masters tend to act mysterious when they want their disciples to get a job done.
Myria inwardly sighed. It was fine if Empress Hexena Xylusc didn't know. The fewer people that knew, the better it was for Davis. She couldn't help but smile.
"You don't look the part."
"What part?"
"Cunning."
"Call me smart instead~" Empress Hexena Xylusc giggled.
Myria nodded and placed her palm on Empress Hexena Xylusc's left bosom, where her heart was located.
"If you can talk like that, I suppose the fear you have for me has already left. Good."
"Hihii!!~"
Empress Hexena Xylusc nearly jumped as she felt a sharp sense of pain. Only a second later did she realize that her blood was starting to be refined within. It caused more blood to be produced. She was shocked to sense that the blood produced was of much higher purity.
But instantly, she was embarrassed as she had never screamed in pain like that. She wished she had been warned but didn't have the time to consider it anymore as more sharp pain attacked her, causing her spine to jolt. She gritted her teeth, doing her best to endure.
Evelynn watched Empress Hexena Xylusc be bullied by Myria. It was a sight that she didn't think she would see, causing her to giggle ever so lightly. The world was full of surprises, making her look forward to the future.
'As for the Pyraxis Ember Arachnid Clan, they really are hopeless…'
Evelynn couldn't believe they were actually on their way after hearing that she left from the spy. Their scouts had already spotted them, and they would be here within six hours. They were walking into a total trap, causing her to not even want to take action because the Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid Clan alone might be able to take care of it if the two Ancestors had not messed up.
After all, the Pyraxis Ember Arachnid Clan wasn't a strong power. They were the ruler of a Minor Realm, but they didn't have multiple Empyreans and Autarchs like a Lower Realm's ruling power. They were worse than most Lower Realms in that aspect.
She heard the only reason they were capable of being rulers was because they had a lot of backers because of their hex-purifying ability. Numerous people sought it and made sure to stay on their good side. Sometimes, even Upper Realm people might descend and seek their services.
But this not-so-powerful was coming here alone to finish the Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid people off?
Like the Pyraxis Ember Arachnid Clan kept an eye on the Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid Clan, the vice versa was also true. They knew there were only three High-Level Autarch Stage experts in the Pyraxis Ember Arachnid Clan. It was said that their prowess didn't even reach Level Nine Autarch Stage.
She found it extremely strange.
For what reason did they want Emperor-Tier Blood? She found that it was the key to unlocking the reason behind the Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid Clan's persecution.
'The chances that someone is still making them move from the shadows is…'
Evelynn descended into silence. In the end, she knew she only needed to wait in order to know more.
Time passed.
The bloodline purification treatment was completed and Myria was able to get Empress Hexena Xylusc back to her full bloodline purity. Her prowess was now eight levels higher in the Immortal King Beast Stage and would continue to be so in the Immortal Emperor Beast Stage.
However, there was one small or maybe… big change.
"No way… my soul's prowess is eleven levels higher…"
Empress Hexena Xylusc looked shocked at her powers as she swung around her soul force.
Myria answered, "Well, that's the effect of the Gilded Realm Ascendant Pill. Since you have parted from Evelynn's soul, your own soul has significantly strengthened. It most likely happened when your body and soul managed to attain equilibrium, allowing the soul to unleash its true prowess."
"…" Empress Hexena Xylusc's jaw dropped.
Indeed, she wasn't as lethargic as before, but still, wasn't a three-level increase ridiculous? To magical beasts, that signified raising a tier, which was insane.
She turned to look at Evelynn with shock. Why didn't Evelynn's subconscious consider this a prominent memory?
"…" But as soon as she asked herself, she knew the answer.
Without knowing, Empress Hexena Xylusc blushed heavily. Her prominent memories were nearly full of Davis and even how he romanced and bedded her. This woman's mind was practically filled with a man.
Back then, she didn't doubt they were close, but now, she had to reconsider the weight he had on her life. She no longer doubted that she drop the Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid Clan and go running to him if something were to happen to him.
"Report! They're breaking in!"
From outside, Syriss Xylusc's voice could be heard.
Evelynn and the others stood up. They looked at each other and smirked.
It was finally time for them to take revenge for all the persecution they had suffered in the past few million years. Their enemies had been so nice as to come to their place to get killed. How could they not smile?
Empress Hexena Xylusc's smile particularly turned wicked. The face of a evil spider was now truly on display. However, she quickly looked saddened. She remembered that she was still an Immortal King Beast. She couldn't do anything about it for the time being.
"Hoahaha! Evil arachnids! The time has finally come for you to pay the price of staining your hands in evil!"
A hoarse yet powerful voice filled with schadenfreude echoed in the asteroid region, causing countless clan members of the Thee-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid to panic.
