The next moment.
In the Central Province of the Ancient Immortal Domain, above the Taiwei Star Palace Sect, the sky suddenly lost its color!
An Empress, clad in golden-red robes, stepped out from the endless starry sky.
Each step she took brought forth creation and destruction; her aura was vast and boundless, like heavenly might descending upon the world.
Boundless crimson light, like a tide, dyed the entire Ancient Immortal Domain, as if endless blood rain was falling.
Su Hongye's Divine Thought, like an invisible giant net, spread across the entire Ancient Immortal Domain with unimaginable speed and breadth, almost instantly covering this vast and ancient land.
The crimson heaven and earth imagery began to manifest wildly.
Killing Intent surged like a tide, crimson as an abyss!
The sky of the entire Ancient Immortal Domain changed abruptly, blood-colored clouds rolled in, the Law of the Great Dao trembled incessantly, and all living beings prostrated themselves.
Countless Cultivators looked up at the sky in terror, trembling.
"Empress Hongye has personally arrived in the Ancient Immortal Domain?"
"She actually used her full domain Divine Thought; what is she planning to do?"
Su Hongye slowly raised her gaze, her eyes like blood-colored stars, looking towards the vast depths of the Ancient Immortal Domain.
Wherever her gaze fell, the starry sky trembled slightly.
"Taiwei Star Palace dared to collude with this Empress's old enemy, Fire Lotus City, and assassinate my son!"
"Today, it shall be annihilated!"
Before her words finished, Su Hongye's palm slightly rotated, and a crimson light suddenly shot into the sky!
It was an Origin power formed from a wisp of Killing Intent, entirely crimson, its momentum like a thunderbolt tearing through heaven and earth, directly suppressing everything.
Taiwei Star Palace's protective Sect formation revealed layers of ancient inscriptions.
But under that crimson light, it shattered instantly like thin paper.
It was an indescribable terrifying power, like the sky falling and the earth sinking, pouring down from the Void Realm, instantly engulfing the entire Taiwei Star Palace.
Wherever it passed, everything shattered inch by inch like fragile glass.
Taiwei Star Palace, at this moment, seemed to witness its own destruction; countless magnificent palaces and buildings instantly turned into dust, rising into the sky.
"No!!"
"Empress, spare us!"
"My Taiwei Star Palace did not participate in the matters of the Fire Lotus remnants!"
In the depths of the Sect, a white-haired Supreme Old Ancestor, his face filled with terror, bowed and shouted, only hoping to gain a glimmer of survival.
But Su Hongye's expression remained unmoved, her eyes as cold as heavenly punishment, and she pressed down with her palm!
The entire Taiwei Mountain Range vibrated and collapsed, the earth ripped apart, the Void Realm caved in, and numerous mountain gates and floating palaces all sank.
That Supreme could not even struggle, and was instantly crushed into a mist of blood!
Countless Taiwei Disciples cried and wailed, kneeling and kowtowing, begging for mercy.
Taiwei Star Palace, once a giant that dominated the Central Province, was razed to the ground within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea after the Empress's arrival.
Blood mist surged, and wails echoed.
Crimson Killing Intent covered the mountain range ruins, lingering for a long time.
After Su Hongye finished all this, she stood in mid-air, her mysterious robes billowing, the Great Dao divine chains on her body like Dragons swimming in the Nine Heavens, coiling in the Void Realm.
She gazed down at the ruins of the Central Province, then spoke, her voice resonant, spreading throughout the entire Ancient Immortal Domain.
"From this day forward, this Empress will guard and oversee the Ancient Immortal Domain."
"As long as the Fire Lotus remnants are not eradicated, this Empress will not leave for a single day."
"If any petty individuals dare to secretly collude with the Fire Lotus remnants, they will suffer the same fate as this Taiwei Star Palace!"
The sky echoed, shaking the clouds.
At this moment, all Myriad Heavenly Daotong and Ancient Immortal Domain Daotong fell silent.
Deep within the Ancient Immortal Court.
The Saint Lord's eyes sank, looking at the sky full of blood light and the red imagery that suppressed a domain, his voice low: "She has come to take charge."
The white-browed Old Man stroked his beard and glared: "It is indeed as rumored, she is unreasonable, directly destroying our Ancient Immortal Domain Daotong, and taking the opportunity to take charge here, clearly intending to meddle in the matter of the innate immortal liquid."
The purple-robed Quasi-Emperor, however, looked at Tian Yin with a half-smile, probing: "Taiwei Star Palace colluded with Fire Lotus City? This matter is probably not groundless, is it?"
Tian Yin's eyes slightly chilled, and he lowered his gaze in contemplation.
He did not answer the other party, his expression somewhat profound.
Taiwei Star Palace being destroyed by Su Hongye did indeed bring him considerable trouble.
He felt some doubt in his heart.
Hidden Killers Pavilion and Taiwei Star Palace were successively destroyed, both by the Jiang Clan.
As for how they were discovered?
Tian Yin still had not found the answer.
The place where the Divine Son of the Jiang Clan was assassinated by Blood Butcher was in the Fan Family of the Eastern Desolation, which made him suspicious.
Because the matter of Hidden Killers Pavilion also seemed to involve this Jiang Ye.
At that time, there were also some rumors circulating from Cloud Top Academy.
"Jiang Ye..."
"Divine Son of the Jiang Clan, born with the Eternal Immortal Body..."
"Su Hongye..."
"Jiang Ye's mother is also Su Hongye's only weakness..."
Tian Yin's eyes held a faint light, but his heart was not calm.
He actually did not want to be targeted by the Jiang Clan so early; due to the Jiang Clan's foundation, this was very troublesome.
Although Taiwei Star Palace was his foundational Sect.
But at his Realm, it was merely a backup chess piece to help him accumulate resources and immortal materials.
"It's a pity it was destroyed at this time, it did abolition a lot of my backup plans..."
"Was it intentional or a coincidence?"
Tian Yin calmed his thoughts, no longer thinking too much.
Regardless, what had happened, overthinking was useless.
"Empress Hongye..."
"Proving the Dao through slaughter..."
"I didn't expect such a figure to appear in this era..."
Tian Yin had just used his Divine Thought to intentionally probe, and her Great Dao Qi rhyme was grand and flowing, with extraordinary Dao rhyme, already subtly showing signs of transcendence.
She was by no means comparable to an ordinary Great Emperor.
Tian Yin's mind was clear; the three in the Ancient Immortal Court were merely Quasi-Emperor Cultivators, naturally unable to comprehend Su Hongye's current Realm and foundation.
But he could see it.
This Empress Hongye... was probably already half a step into that Realm.
"Very good."
"This makes it interesting..."
...Eastern Desolation.
Inside the carriage, Jiang Ye was resting with his eyes closed, with Qing Xuan and Hong Yan sitting on either side, their delicate hands gently massaging his shoulders and legs, the air filled with fragrance, exuding charm.
Just as Jiang Ye was half-closing his eyes, his face full of enjoyment, a familiar voice sounded.
"You certainly know how to enjoy yourself."
Jiang Ye almost sprang up from the soft couch, nearly choking on a mouthful of spiritual tea.
Looking closely, it was Su Hongye!
Qing Xuan and Hong Yan hurriedly stood up and respectfully said: "Greetings, Empress."
Jiang Ye immediately put on a fawning smile, stood up, and bowed: "Son greets Mother."
"Mother, weren't you still guarding the Central Province? Why have you personally come to the Eastern Desolation?"
Su Hongye gave him an exasperated look, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes: "What, do I, your old mother, need to ask for your permission to come see my own son?"
"Dealing with those petty individuals, a Clone is enough."
She slowly walked closer to Jiang Ye, grabbed his handsome but annoying cheek, and gently pulled it.
Jiang Ye's mouth twitched; he was already used to Su Hongye's kneading and had no temper.
Jiang Ye immediately seized the opportunity to flatter: "Mother's cultivation is heaven-shaking and earth-shattering, so it's naturally a piece of cake."
Su Hongye snorted lightly, her tone softening a bit: "Taiwei Star Palace has been destroyed; quickly force out those old dogs from Fire Lotus City."
"Your mother will personally take action and kill Zhang Chaoxian."
"And that old dog, Mo Beixuan; among the people of Fire Lotus City back then, he was the most hypocritical."
How could Jiang Ye not know?
His mother was very vengeful.
Jiang Ye rubbed his face and said with a grin: "Mother, don't worry, the Ten Annihilation Spirit Devouring Grand Formation has already been set up; soon they will have nowhere to run."
Only then did Su Hongye say: "That's more like it; you haven't made your mother dote on you in vain."
