The Empress’s Blind Consort: Invincible in Secret

Chapter 50 – Empress spills blood, light boat trembles with anger

Outside the Imperial Capital.

Zhao Yuhuan's face turned grim as he stared at Dongfang Liuli, enunciating each word:

"Impossible, you've actually broken through to the Morning Glow Realm?!"

At just twenty years old, reaching the Moon Shine Realm was already terrifying enough, attracting seven young supremes to propose marriage to the Empress.

Now, this myth was shattered once again! A twenty-year-old Morning Glow Realm great being had emerged!

Dongfang Liuli, clad in a garnet-red armor, looked imposing and extraordinary, like a deity.

"Yes, I find it unbelievable too. My breakthrough to the Morning Glow Realm is all thanks to the Empress' Husband," Dongfang Liuli said calmly, no longer referring to herself as "I."

In her eyes, Zhao Yuhuan was already a dead man, and also her blood-related Imperial Uncle.

Sending off a dying Imperial Uncle, worldly titles seemed insignificant.

"The Empress' Husband..." Zhao Yuhuan murmured, shaking his head with a bitter smile. "Once again, it's him. My downfall isn't because of you, Qin Liuli, but because of the Empress' Husband."

"I'm curious, who exactly is the Empress' Husband? I've never met him, yet he knows my every move and dismantled my plans step by step."

Dongfang Liuli smiled peacefully.

Recalling the surprises Meng Qingzhou brought after their marriage, like the Nine Suns Burning Heart Lotus he used to make porridge daily, gradually curing her hidden ailment.

His companionship, serene demeanor, and occasional silly remarks and sweet words softened her heart.

This allowed her to naturally break through to the Morning Glow Realm. Without the Nine Suns Burning Heart Lotus and the removal of her inner rage, it would have taken countless years to break through by sheer effort alone.

Dongfang Liuli said:

"Zhao Yuhuan, I admit I underestimated you. If not for the Empress' Husband's repeated warnings, I would have lost this long-overdue battle for the throne."

"You want to be crowned king and inherit the eternal fortune of Great Jin. Surely, you wouldn't want to see the Imperial Capital damaged."

"Come, let's fight in the alternate space. The winner returns, the loser dies."

Zhao Yuhuan laughed heartily, "Just what I wanted!"

Immediately, the two disappeared into the void, entering the alternate space.

Jiang Canghai quickly took out a Sky-Peering Mirror, projecting the battle in the alternate space onto the sky over the Imperial Capital.

This battle concerned the fate of Great Jin's throne and was closely related to its people. They had the right to know the outcome.

For Zhao Yuhuan and Dongfang Liuli, the alternate space, which ordinary Moon Shine Realm cultivators dared not enter lightly, posed no threat.

The chaotic spatial currents shattered upon hitting them, and the void fissures, like judgment swords, couldn't get within ten meters of them.

The battle could barely be observed.

One could vaguely see the void shattering for thousands of miles, stars falling, a terrifying scene.

Great beings of the Morning Glow Realm could pluck stars and moons, and their roars could destroy nations.

When two Morning Glow Realm cultivators fought with all their might, the scene was unimaginably grand and magnificent.

"Zhao Yuhuan is bleeding!" someone exclaimed, pointing at a spot in the Sky-Peering Mirror.

In the mirror, Zhao Yuhuan staggered back, his chest caved in from a punch, coughing up blood incessantly.

"You're indeed a peerless genius surpassing the ancestors, Qin Liuli... you're impressive."

Zhao Yuhuan roared in unwillingness, his manic expression suddenly calming, his eyes clear, no longer showing any madness.

"You haven't been eroded by the Black Star; instead, you've perfectly fused with it. The Black Star and you are like yin and yang, mutually dependent. The Black Star no longer burns the host's lifespan, nor will it kill the host and then explode. The Black Star has become calm," Dongfang Liuli stopped, frowning as she stared at him.

Zhao Yuhuan snapped his fingers, chuckling:

"Qin Liuli, you're still too young. In a battle for the throne, there's no such thing as a fair fight. Do you think this is a novel?"

"Which emperor's rise isn't filled with filth and blood? In the underworld, don't blame me."

Figures with overwhelming and majestic auras appeared out of nowhere, surrounding Dongfang Liuli in the alternate space.

These people were all half-step Morning Glow Realm.

"Four Old Ancestors of the Great Qian Dynasty, the Forbidden Zone of Sword Seclusion's master, the Five Spirit Clan's first and second leaders, two Grand Elders of the Wuyatian Sect... quite the gathering," Dongfang Liuli said coldly, glancing around.

Ignoring Dongfang Liuli, they looked at Zhao Yuhuan.

"Zhao Yuhuan, don't forget your promise! All the imperial treasures left by the previous emperor of Great Jin belong to me!"

"A quarter of Great Jin's fortune goes to Great Qian!"

"Three immortal-grade spirit stone mines go to the Five Spirit Clan!"

"The Empress' bloodline goes to the Blood Sea Empire!"

...

...

Zhao Yuhuan smiled, "Everyone, once Qin Liuli is dead and I ascend the throne, I will fulfill all my promises!"

Only then did they nod, turning their murderous gazes back to Dongfang Liuli.

A twenty-year-old Morning Glow Realm was too terrifying!

If not killed early, she would eventually threaten them and might even lead the Great Jin Dynasty to devour all forces.

Even without Zhao Yuhuan's plea, they would have come today, regardless of the cost!

Dongfang Liuli's eyebrows shot up, and she shouted:

"Zhao Yuhuan, what are you doing! Letting outsiders meddle in Great Jin's affairs is one thing, but giving away the imperial treasures and Great Jin's fortune to wolves!?"

Zhao Yuhuan sneered, "So what? Once I achieve greatness, all these things given away will eventually return. Qin Liuli, watch closely."

"I'll make you the last to die. I'll first execute the Great Jin Empress' Husband by a thousand cuts, then behead Qin Fenghuo, and quarter Jiang Canghai!"

Executing Meng Qingzhou by a thousand cuts, a traitor to the nation, is unforgivable!

Dongfang Liuli's killing intent peaked, and she attacked without hesitation, causing the heavens and earth to collapse, a sea of fire rolling.

Everyone watching the Sky-Peering Mirror couldn't help but worry for the Empress.

Many hidden experts of Great Jin emerged, tearing through the void to assist the Empress in the alternate space.

Qin Fenghuo's avatar also moved, roaring with rage, "Zhao Yuhuan, I swear to kill you!"

However, the enemies were too many and too strong!

Even though Dongfang Liuli was invincible in her realm, she had just entered the Morning Glow Realm and had no time to consolidate her power, making it difficult to fully utilize her abilities.

Dongfang Liuli was injured, her armor shattered, her shoulder pierced by a sword.

"Qian Yuan, let's go too," Meng Qingzhou sighed softly.

The Qian Yuan Sword Saint said nothing, enveloping Meng Qingzhou with the Sword Sense of Time and Space, entering the alternate space without hindrance.

"Minister Meng, no!" Jiang Canghai exclaimed, trying to stop him.

The court officials were all shocked.

"Minister Meng, you have no cultivation. You can't help the Empress."

"Yes, Minister, trust that the Empress will prevail."

"Minister Meng..."

Meng Qingzhou turned back with a bold smile, "I eat the ruler's food, I must serve the ruler. The Empress has treated me well; how can I stand by in her time of need?"

Every word came from the heart.

A month ago, Meng Qingzhou would never have said such things against his principles.

After spending time together, he gradually developed feelings for the Empress and couldn't bear to see her perish.

Since the plot was already broken, a little indulgence wouldn't hurt.
