Ancient Fox Emperor

Just as Li Changfeng was muttering to himself, new changes appeared in the sky.

Within the rolling purple Qi, countless phantoms of world-shaking fierce creatures emerged: giant snakes with nine heads, golden Rocs whose wings covered the sky and sun, super white elephants whose feet trampled the netherworld, and ferocious tiger venerables with awe-inspiring might.

There were even mythical beasts from legends, such as Qilin, Phoenix, and True Dragons.

Then, under countless terrified and astonished gazes, these fierce creatures and mythical beasts all knelt before Hu Yunxi!

When this scene unfolded, everyone present was stunned.

Even Xiao Ming felt his scalp tingle with shock.

What exactly did Hu Yunxi awaken, that even the phantom mythical beasts like the Phoenix and True Dragon knelt before her!

Hu Yunxi, who was being watched by everyone, had a calm expression and a stern demeanor, as if all of this was perfectly normal.

Subsequently, a phantom of a divine fox, emitting nine-colored light, slowly and silently appeared in the void behind Hu Yunxi.

The phantom divine fox exuded an unparalleled primeval aura; it possessed nine massive, sprawling, and endless tails, all emitting nine divine lights of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, silver, and gold.

And with the appearance of the primeval fox phantom, the phantoms of those ancient fierce creatures and mythical beasts like Qilin and True Dragons trembled even more.

They continuously knelt and bowed to Hu Yunxi, as if they were worshipping their Emperor!

At this moment, everyone was startled into silence, like statues, unable to utter a word.

Li Changfeng and others had limited knowledge and could not recognize what the primeval fox phantom was, but Xiao Ming had an inkling.

This must be the Primeval Fox Emperor!

It was Hu Yunxi’s true form!

Because the system had said that Hu Yunxi was the reincarnation of a Heavenly Realm Fox Emperor, and now, Hu Yunxi had fully awakened, recovering her previous memories, knowledge, and the body of the Primeval Fox Emperor!

At this moment, the phantom of the Primeval Fox Emperor lunged forward and merged with Hu Yunxi.

Hu Yunxi once again erupted with an extremely dazzling and endless divine light!

Amidst the bursts of divine light, Hu Yunxi's aura began to climb steadily.

Danhu Realm middle stage... late stage... Grand Completion!

Divine Sea Realm!

Divine Sea Realm early stage... middle stage... late stage... Grand Completion!

Yuqi Realm!

Yuqi Realm early stage... Hu Yunxi's Cultivation Level soared madly as if it cost nothing!

Li Changfeng and the other elders watched, their mouths dry and hearts filled with fear. The Spirit Sword Sect disciples were dumbfounded with shock, and the representatives of the external forces were all terrified, collapsing onto the ground.

Xiao Ming’s head was also buzzing with shock.

Is this... awakening? The power Hu Yunxi displayed is so monstrous!

At the same time, as Hu Yunxi’s Cultivation Level increased, the endless innate purple Qi seemed to find an outlet, surging madly towards Hu Yunxi.

And the graceful Hu Yunxi, like a terrifying bottomless black hole, or a giant whale sucking water, devoured all the innate purple Qi in one go!

In just a moment, the rolling purple Qi filling the sky disappeared.

The countless phantoms of ancient fierce beasts and mythical beasts like the Phoenix and True Dragon also vanished.

Everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

However, Hu Yunxi still stood in the void, coldly looking down at everyone present with a pair of indifferent eyes. She was like an Empress from the Nine Heavens, looking down upon the mortal world.

However, upon seeing Xiao Ming, Hu Yunxi's cold, beautiful eyes softened and became warm...

Ten thousand miles away from the Spirit Sword Sect, an extremely powerful sect fell into a frenzy upon seeing the sudden appearance and subsequent disappearance of the innate purple Qi in the sky.

A certain powerful individual immediately gathered all the strong cultivators within the sect and said in a deep voice, “Purple Qi covering tens of thousands of miles, endless like the sea—such a terrifying celestial phenomenon indicates either the descent of a great figure or the appearance of a peerless treasure.”

“You all immediately gather all skilled hands and investigate this for me! Find out the truth about this matter!”

“Yes!”

...Eight thousand miles away, a certain powerful force reacted similarly...

Five thousand miles away, three thousand miles away... All the sects and forces, big and small, who witnessed the celestial phenomenon, fell into a frenzy.

They immediately issued orders, determined to uncover the source of the purple Qi. For a time, countless strong cultivators, like foraging ants, spread out in all directions from their respective sects and forces.

The Qingfeng City Lord's Mansion, closest to the Spirit Sword Sect, did the same.

Murong Ce, the City Lord, who had just finished his seclusion and looked rather smug, now showed extreme shock.

He immediately sensed that the source of the endless purple Qi covering the sky was at the Spirit Sword Sect, thirty miles away!

After all, the distance between the City Lord's Mansion and the Spirit Sword Sect was too short; any significant disturbance from the latter could not escape his notice.

“Spirit Sword Sect... Spirit Sword Sect!”

Murong Ce looked towards the Spirit Sword Sect with both excitement and agitation, muttering to himself, “Such an astonishing celestial phenomenon appearing at the Spirit Sword Sect indicates that there must be a peerless treasure there!”

“Even if it’s not a peerless treasure, it must be some incredible super treasure!”

“Guards!”

“All experts of the City Lord’s Mansion must assemble within twenty breaths; violators will be executed without mercy! This City Lord intends to flatten the Spirit Sword Sect and seize the treasure!”

...At the same time, above the Spirit Sword Sect’s square, Hu Yunxi’s Cultivation Level advancement had concluded.

But no one knew how strong Hu Yunxi truly was, or to what Cultivation Level she had advanced.

Even Xiao Ming was full of doubts.

Did Hu Yunxi ultimately advance to the Yuqi Realm? Or... the Transformation Domain Realm?

Xiao Ming didn’t know, because he couldn't sense it.

He only knew that Hu Yunxi was extremely, unimaginably strong!

At this moment, Hu Yunxi, standing in the void like an Empress, spoke coldly, “The celestial phenomenon I caused was too astonishing and will surely attract the covetous gaze of countless forces. These forces are omnipresent and will certainly come looking for you one day.”

“And I do not like to be disturbed by outsiders, so, all of you who know my true identity, go die!”

As soon as her voice fell, an overwhelmingly powerful pressure, beyond description, instantly enveloped the entire Spirit Sword Sect!

Apart from Xiao Ming, everyone present turned pale, their faces ashen!

“Bang!”

With a muffled thud, over a hundred disciples, unable to withstand Hu Yunxi’s pressure, uncontrollably knelt down.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Muffled thuds rang out one after another.

In less than a few seconds, everyone present, except for Xiao Ming, had fallen to their knees.

Even Sect Leader Li Changfeng, who was at the Grand Completion of the Divine Sea Realm, was no exception!

Li Changfeng struggled to resist, yet it was utterly useless; before Hu Yunxi’s pressure, he was almost as weak as an ant!

“Senior, Senior, you can’t do this...” Li Changfeng struggled to resist Hu Yunxi’s immense pressure, raising his head with difficulty, “We won’t spread word of your matter; please, Senior, spare us...”

At this time, Hu Yunxi’s power far surpassed Li Changfeng’s, so she was worthy of being called Senior!

“I only trust that dead people don’t talk nonsense,” Hu Yunxi said coldly, showing no regard for Li Changfeng.

Li Changfeng immediately grew anxious.

The many elders and disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect also fell into despair.

At this moment, Xiao Ming stepped forward and said with a frown, “Little Yunxi, don’t be mischievous. Give me some face and let them all go.”

As soon as these words were uttered, everyone present looked at Xiao Ming in unison.

Their expressions were as if they were looking at a clueless idiot.

“Xiao Ming, what are you saying? You don’t have that much face!” First Elder Su Tianming said tremblingly. He was trembling purely from the shock of Hu Yunxi’s pressure.

“Xiao Ming, stop talking! You can’t speak to Senior like that!” Li Changfeng anxiously tugged at Xiao Ming’s robes, trying to pull Xiao Ming down to his knees as well.

Xiao Ming immediately found this strange.

“Little Yunxi is my personal maid; why can’t I speak like that?”

“What personal maid? She is a Senior!” Li Changfeng was extremely anxious and scolded in a low voice, “The maidservant matter was from before; the moment Senior completed her transformation, your identities have already swapped!”

“On Xianwu Continent, strength is revered, and now, Senior Hu’s strength far surpasses yours. You still dare to bring up the maidservant matter; isn’t that openly humiliating Senior?!”

“Xiao Ming, quickly kneel down and beg Senior for forgiveness, otherwise you won’t even know how you died!”

Other elders also spoke up, saying, “Xiao Ming, just accept your fate and quickly kneel to pay respects to Senior.”

“Vice Sect Leader Xiao, watch your words! Some things cannot be said carelessly!”

“Don’t mention anything about a maidservant; if Senior is in a good mood, she might even take you as her personal male consort...”

One after another, voices of advice rang out.

At this moment, Hu Yunxi, standing in the void, smiled.

With this smile, the world dimmed, and everyone’s hearts trembled, feeling as if their souls had been captivated by the charming laughter.

Subsequently, under countless incredulous gazes, Hu Yunxi sweetly said, “Since Young Master has spoken, Little Yunxi will naturally obey.”

“Everyone listen! You may live!”
