Chapter 398: 345: Requesting the Empress Dowager to Ascend

Faced with Empress Wu’s questioning, the two men halted, unsure how to respond.

After all, there were things they could do, but they could not speak outright.

Meanwhile, Pei Xuanjing suddenly smiled, took a big step forward, and said aloud: “Congratulations to the Empress Dowager for ascending to the Realm of Heavenly People. Today, we invite the Empress Dowager to ascend!”

Silence.

Deathly silence filled the entire Palace City. No one dared to utter a word. Even those who were injured at the Heavenly Rank seemed to forget their pain and looked blankly at Pei Xuanjing.

“Invite the Empress Dowager to ascend” sounded good, but in reality, it meant forcing the Empress Dowager to die.

Surprise flashed across Empress Wu’s eyes, as she looked at the swordsman standing before her, a killing intent arose in her heart, making the temperature of the entire Palace City seem to drop instantly, and turn chilly.

Ye Daoyuan and Yin Daoist, both being decisive people, saw Pei Xuanjing speaking out and didn’t hesitate to step forward, saying in unison: “We invite the Empress Dowager to ascend!”

“You, are you planning to rebel?” Empress Wu surveyed them with her cold eyes, she said coldly.

Woosh woosh…

The celestial phenomenon altered, the sky darkened, responding to Empress Wu’s anger, thousands of stars disappeared, and the moonlight dimmed.

Faced with such a terrible aura, even Ye Daoyuan and Yin Daoist were shocked.

They understood, at this moment, the reality was perhaps something they least wanted to see – Empress Wu had stepped into the Celestial Human Realm.

Pei Xuanjing understood even better the current state of Empress Wu in front of him. His heart sank involuntarily. Indeed, it was the worst scenario. The other party had already broken through the mystery of the Celestial Human Realm. After a period of consolidation, she might ascend to the Heavenly Being.

However, Pei Xuanjing knew that at this moment they actually had only one option left, and that was to go all out and stake it all, betting that Empress Wu had not yet perfected her abilities, and that he still had a chance of a fight.

If they waited until she truly entered the Celestial Human Realm, they might never have another chance.

Pei Xuanjing communicated his speculation to the two of them, without reservation he expressed the current situation, then waited for them to make their choice.

“No matter what, I will take action today. If you two are unwilling, I can buy time for you to escape,” Pei Xuanjing solemnly said to them.

His Dao of Qi Refining had also been refined to the extreme. He just needed an opportunity to break through the mystery of the Celestial Human realm and ascend. He considered the current encounter with Empress Wu as perhaps his greatest chance.

Additionally, he did not have any reservations. In this world, he already achieved a lot, so even if he failed, it didn’t matter.

But Ye Daoyuan and Yin Daoist had been here because of his plans. While he didn’t care about his life or death in this world, he couldn’t drag them down with him, which wasn’t something Pei Xuanjing should do. Hence, he gave them a choice.

With his power, if the two of them were willing to leave, he could give them enough time to escape.

Ye Daoyuan chuckled bitterly, “I received many favors from the previous emperor. How can I leave now? Today, I will accompany you, my Taoist friend, in going all out. Whereas Yin Daoist brother… He carries the responsibility of the Zong Sheng Temple, should he decide…”

He had received numerous favors from the previous emperor and held a high-ranking position for many years. How could he leave now?

Never mind, after all, he was alone and didn’t have any concern. However, Yin Daoist was different from him.

Yin Daoist interrupted Ye Daoyuan, saying coldly, “I came here today with the intention of dying. It is just a matter of death. I could not flee before the battle. If word got out, I’m afraid I would become the laughingstock,”

The connection between Zong Sheng Temple and the royal family was not shallow. They had been receiving support for many years. If he fled from the battle at this moment, he would be ridiculed by countless people, especially his fellow brother at Louguan Tao.

As for the heritage issue that Ye Daoyuan was worried about, he was least concerned about it. After all, Louguan Tao and Zong Sheng Temple originated from the same source. Even though they had disputes, if he died, would his brother from Louguan Tao really watch while the Zong Sheng Temple was destroyed?

Therefore, facing Pei Xuanjing’s proposition, both rejected it. No one had the intention to leave.

Pei Xuanjing nodded, “In that case, let us experience the divinity of a Heavenly Being together today.”

He said loudly again, “Today, we invite the Empress Dowager to ascend!”

“We invite the Empress Dowager to ascend!” Ye Daoyuan and Yin Daoist echoed.

Empress Wu was furious, her face as cold as frost, she said in a chilling tone, “You’re courting death!”

Boom!

Empress Wu released her primordial Qi around herself. The terrifying aura surged, with nine halos shining on top of her head, and a vision emerging behind her. It looked like an Empress sitting high above, gazing at Pei Xuanjing, her eyes filled with majesty.

Her slender, fair hand slapped down, and in an instant, countless light feathers descended towards Pei Xuanjing, seemingly wanting to annihilate Pei Xuanjing in these light feathers.

Even though her main target was Pei Xuanjing, both Ye Daoyuan and Yin Daoist were staggered when they felt this terrifying power.

Looking at the light feathers falling from the sky, Pei Xuanjing sensed a dangerous aura. He could feel that these lights were filled with terrifying power, and if hit by them, it would either be death or serious injury.

The next moment, Pei Xuanjing moved, he reached out and grabbed the hilt of the Longevity Sword.

The instant the Longevity Sword was in his hand, his aura changed, a soaring sharpness rose from him out of nowhere, the sharp aura seemed to pierce both heaven and earth. Clang!

His movements were swift and decisive – gripping the sword, unsheathing, swinging, all in one seamless motion without any pause!

Sword Drawing Skill!

Once again this killing move was executed at the hands of Pei Xuanjing.

The Divine Sword was unsheathed.

Brilliant sword light flashed, the terrifying sword intent burst out in an instant as the sword was unsheathed, seemingly set to cut through everything.

Moreover, this sword was incredibly swift, so swift that it reached its limit. As if piercing through time and space, silent and without a trace, it had arrived by the time you saw it.

It struck later but arrived first!

The chilling sword light illuminated the sky, the domineering sword light cut through everything, seemingly even the space was cut off, the sky full of light feathers paused, then were sliced by the sword light.

Boom!

A terrifying collision caused violent tremors. Even the four Half-Step Heavenly Beings near them had to retreat quickly to avoid the terrifying fluctuations.

The four retreated tens of meters away, their eyes still filled with unrepressed shock. It was not surprising that Empress Wu, who had almost reached the status of the Heavenly Being, could unleash such power.

But Pei Xuanjing, considered a Half-Step Heavenly Being like them, had such strength, which was simply incredible.
