Chapter 77 The Fall of the 9th Li Dynasty, the Empress's Death List
Zhongzhou, the Jiuli Dynasty.
Beneath the Jiuli Imperial City, nine dragon veins guard the palace, forming a massive protective array.
This is a geomantic array personally set up by the Great Emperor of Jiuli. It has remained intact for tens of thousands of years and continues to protect the Jiuli Dynasty.
Deep within the imperial city, the newly appointed Emperor of Jiuli sat on the dragon throne, his brow furrowed.
Ever since the news of the fall of the Great Xia Dynasty spread throughout the Central Plains, he knew that the next dynasty to fall would be the Nine Li Dynasty.
Even though Ye Chen and his companion could have arrived immediately, they were delayed, deliberately causing unrest.
"Your Majesty, the Great Xia Dynasty went from being removed from the list of imperial officials to its complete demise in no more than half an incense stick's time."
An old sage spoke in a somber tone.
"Their Supreme Emperor Sword was seized, the Imperial Cauldron was shattered, three Sages and two Great Sages perished, and more than half of the court's civil and military officials were killed or wounded..."
"Now, everyone in Zhongzhou is laughing at our Jiuli Dynasty."
The newly appointed Emperor of Jiuli had a grim face.
He knew all too well that the Chaotic Body Fiend Star would soon come knocking on his door.
"Immediately activate the national protection formation and awaken the full potential of the dynasty."
"Also, bring me the Nine Li Map."
The newly appointed Emperor of Jiuli gritted his teeth and said.
"Your Majesty, Ye Chen seized the Nine Li Map long ago."
The old sage wore a wry smile.
The newly appointed Emperor of Jiuli also stiffened.
He almost forgot about this; the Nine Li Diagram, like the Supreme Emperor Sword, was in Ye Chen's hands.
"Then awaken the five sleeping Great Sage Ancestors and bring out all the sacred weapons."
"I refuse to believe that Ye Chen can have three heads and six arms!"
A ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of the new emperor.
He could sense that Ye Chen was already heading towards the Nine Li Dynasty.
……
The following day, the void cracked open.
Ye Chen and Ji Zi emerged from the crack.
The Empress remained hidden in the void, silently following the two without making a move.
"The Jiuli Dynasty is smarter than the Great Xia Dynasty; they knew to set up their formation in advance."
Ji Zi looked at the protective array formed by the dragon veins, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.
This formation is indeed extraordinary, containing the Dao and principles of the Nine Li Emperor. Even if it is no longer complete, the Great Sage would still have to swear an oath of blood here if he launched a powerful attack.
"Before my Mirror of Emptiness, you are nothing but a paper tiger."
Himeko smiled slightly.
The Void Mirror above his head emitted a dazzling light, and wherever the light passed, the Nine Li's protective array trembled violently.
"The Mirror of Emptiness!"
"Ye Chen and Ji Zi have arrived!"
An uproar erupted within the Jiuli Imperial City.
Ten sages soared into the sky and jointly activated a quasi-emperor weapon—the Nine Li Pot.
This is a quasi-emperor weapon crafted by the Great Emperor of Jiuli. Although it is not as good as an ultimate emperor weapon, it is infinitely close to an emperor weapon.
At this moment, the combined power of the ten saints was earth-shattering, faintly displaying the majesty of the supreme divine power.
"Ye Chen, you've gone too far!"
An old sage shouted angrily.
"Further words are useless; prepare to die!"
Ye Chen was too lazy to waste words with them. The Supreme Emperor Sword in his hand shone brightly, and the entire world trembled under its supreme divine might.
The ten saints joined forces to activate the Nine Li Pot, and a terrifying holy light shot out from the pot's mouth, heading straight for Ye Chen.
"Sword of the Supreme Emperor, slash!"
Ye Chen raised his hand and unleashed a sword strike.
The chaotic sword energy surged forth and collided with the Nine Li Holy Light.
"boom--"
A deafening explosion rang out.
The Nine Li Pot trembled violently, and the ten saints all took three steps back, blood spilling from the corners of their mouths.
Ye Chen, however, remained completely still.
"this one?"
Ye Chen shook his head.
He is now an extremely powerful being, and he also possesses an ultimate imperial weapon capable of autonomous regeneration.
Unless the opponent possesses an ultimate imperial weapon or is a supreme being from a forbidden zone, no matter how many come, they'll just be easy prey.
"Activate the sacred weapon with all your might and fight him to the death!"
The leading old sage gritted his teeth and said.
Ten saints sacrificed themselves, infusing their essence and blood into the Jiuli Pot.
The Nine Li Pot immediately burst forth with dazzling light, and countless Netherworld Dragons flew out of the pot, roaring as they charged toward Ye Chen.
"Void Great Handprint!"
Himeko immediately struck out with her palm.
A gigantic black hand materialized in the void, carrying immense power, and slammed towards the Nine Netherworld Dragon.
"Boom!"
The Nine Netherworld Dragon shattered on the spot, the Nine Li Pot was blasted away, and all ten saints coughed up blood.
"Little brother, you continue, I'll take care of these."
Himeko said with a smile.
The Void Mirror above his head immediately emitted a dazzling light, enveloping the ten saints within it.
The ten saints tried to escape, but found that the surrounding void had been sealed off, and they were unable to move at all.

"it's over."
Himeko's Void Handprint struck down, instantly killing ten Saints, who exploded like fireworks.
The Jiuli Imperial City was deathly silent.
The cultivators watching the battle didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Ten saints, just like that, they died?
"Stop hiding, come out."
Ye Chen looked into the depths of the palace.
As soon as he finished speaking, five terrifying auras flew out from the depths of the palace.
Five powerful Saints appeared in the world at once, their faces terribly gloomy.
"Ye Chen, is there truly no way to negotiate a settlement?"
The elderly man at the head of the group had a hoarse voice.
He was the most senior ancestor of the Jiuli Dynasty, and his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Great Saint.
Unfortunately, compared to two supreme imperial weapons, they were still just small ants.
"Hand over the Nine Li Scripture, and the Nine Li Dynasty will be removed from the list from this day forward."
If it were the Empress, she could destroy the entire Immortal Dynasty with a single slap.
But Ye Chen is only a top-tier expert, so when will this killing end?
Moreover, those ordinary people were innocent; he only destroyed the royal family.
"You're dreaming!"
The five Great Sages' expressions changed drastically.
It's one thing to hand over the Nine Li Scripture, but they actually want to remove the Nine Li Dynasty from the list, just like the Great Xia Dynasty.
It should be noted that the Jiuli Dynasty has a long history and its foundation is unmatched by the other three major dynasties.
"Then stop talking nonsense."
Ye Chen raised his hand and swung his sword.
They headed straight for the five Great Sages opposite them.
The five Great Sages dared not delay and immediately took over the Quasi-Emperor's Weapon, the Nine Li Pot.
The runes on the pot came to life and roared as they rushed towards Ye Chen.
"Void Mirror, go!"
Ji Zi activated the Void Mirror and launched it at the Nine Li Pot.
Ye Chen is only a top-tier expert right now, so let him, as the elder brother, solve the problem!
"Boom!"
The Jiuli Pot flew backwards again.
The five Great Sages looked terrified; they never expected Ji Zi to be so strong.
"this one?"
Ye Chen shook his head.
With a flick of his wrist, the Supreme Emperor Sword unleashed boundless imperial dragon energy, slashing towards the Nine Li Pot.
With this sword strike, he awakened the divine power of the Supreme Emperor Sword.
"Click—"
A crack appeared on the Jiuli Pot.
The five Great Sages nearly exploded into a bloody mist, their bodies stained crimson with blood.
"Oh no, retreat quickly!"
The elderly man at the head of the group had a drastic change in expression.
They couldn't understand why the Emperor's Sword would revive on its own in the enemy's hands.
Every supreme imperial weapon is a continuation of the Great Emperor. Apart from the Great Emperor and the Supreme Being themselves, who can fight against a resurrected supreme imperial weapon?
"You still want to run?"
A cold smile appeared on Ye Chen's lips.
He raised his hand and activated the Supreme Emperor Sword again, unleashing a series of chaotic sword energies.
In an instant, the chaotic sword light, like an inverted galaxy, enveloped all five Great Sages.
"No--"
The five Great Sages let out desperate roars.
They tried to resist, but before the revived Taihuang Sword, they shattered like a mirror.
"Pfft—"
The five Great Sages died on the spot.
The newly appointed Emperor of Jiuli was deathly pale and slumped on the dragon throne. He was just a supreme powerhouse!
"Hand over the Nine Li Scripture."
Ye Chen appeared before the new emperor.
The newly appointed Emperor of Jiuli trembled, but dared not utter a single word.
He shakily took out an ancient book and respectfully handed it to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen took the Nine Li Scripture and found the Nine Netherworld Secret Techniques recorded within quite interesting.
He truly deserves to be called the Great Emperor of Jiuli, who can communicate with corpses and transform into Chiyou.
"From this day forward, the Jiuli Dynasty is removed from the list."
Ye Chen turned and left.
The newly appointed Emperor of Jiuli slumped on the dragon throne, his face ashen.
He knew that one of the four immortal dynasties of Zhongzhou would be gone.
"Little brother, where do we go next?"
Himeko walked over and asked.
"Now that the Great Xia and Jiuli have been settled, the Ji family has also cleaned its own house."
"Next, you go back to the Ji family first. My sister and I will go and cause trouble for the forbidden zone of life."
A cold glint flashed in Ye Chen's eyes.
He didn't intend to bring Himeko along; the ancient supreme being of the forbidden zone of life was no joke.
Next up is the Empress's death list; she's about to start calling names.
