233: Chapter 233 The Empress's Instant Kill!

"Buzz—"

The space distorted for a moment.

Following Lin Fan's declaration of a "draw," Shen Youchu's figure reappeared within the Human Race's preparation area.

At this moment, the dark-gold lava battle armor on her body had long since shattered. Her aura, which had surged to the level of a three-path Golden Immortal, rapidly plummeted, returning to her true Realm of a two-path Golden Immortal.

That strike just now was her unborn child forcibly elevating her combat power briefly to the same height as Jialuo.

Although all her trump cards were exhausted and even the two years of power accumulated through "Silent Zen" were spent, Shen Youchu's small face was written all over with defiance.

"I— Mmph!!!"

She instinctively started to speak, but then a flash of inspiration hit her, and she slapped her hands over her mouth, covering it tightly!

Having tasted the sweetness of the accumulated power from the [Nine-Character Mantra], Shen Youchu was now completely unwilling to speak.

She swore secretly in her heart: "From today on, I'm going to continue stacking buffs! Before I can rub that winged birdman's face into the ground, I won't say a single word!"

Seeing Shen Youchu's aggrieved look, Su Feng smiled and walked forward, ruffling her messy twin-tails. "Good job!"

The Jidao Empress looked at the competitive Shen Youchu from the side, a hint of admiration showing in her eyes.

"Though Miss Shen's battle ended in a draw, it has already exceeded everyone's expectations."

The Jidao Empress commented in an experienced tone, "After this battle, your comprehension of the [Soldier] mantra will surely deepen. If you can grasp the third character of the mantra technique, victory in this fight would be certain!"

At the same time, she felt that Shen Youchu's obsession was exactly the attitude one should have when pursuing the Great Dao.

Su Feng also expressed his agreement.

With the blessing of the Golden Dragon of Fortune and Shen Youchu now carrying a Heaven-Defying offspring that came with its own "prenatal education assistance," her future Cultivation speed would definitely be lightning-fast.

Even if Jialuo possessed an SSS-grade Angels Heart, Shen Youchu had absolutely no reason to fear her.

Everyone turned their gaze toward the massive leaderboard in mid-air.

As the first stage of the arena matches concluded.

At the top of the list, it clearly read:

[First Place: Human Race! Current Total Points: 674!]

[Second Place: God Race! Current Total Points: 660!]

This glaring ranking made countless watching experts from other races green with envy.

"Next, the second stage of the arena begins!"

High in the sky, Lin Fan's magnificent voice echoed once again.

"Four to six-path Golden Immortal bracket! All fifty qualifiers, prepare to enter!"

As the voice fell, the atmosphere in the Human Race's preparation area became visibly heavy.

Everyone's eyes focused simultaneously on the woman dressed in a red and black demon robe—the Jidao Empress.

Even Ying Yue'e's eyes flashed with a hint of worry.

This was a critical segment where a single win added 20 points!

Although the Human Race currently held a temporary lead in total points, the Jidao Empress, who was about to fight, had the lowest Realm among the fifty qualifiers!

During these two years, although the Jidao Empress had Cultivated and devoured frantically, comprehending four more strands of Great Dao Origin, she barely met the minimum threshold for this bracket—a four-path Golden Immortal.

She was about to face old monsters from various races who controlled six complete Daos!

The gap of two strands of Great Dao Origin was not just a chasm in immortal power reserves, but an absolute suppression in the comprehension of the rules of heaven and earth!

In the eyes of normal Cultivators, this was almost an insurmountable natural barrier.

"Buzz—!"

The teleportation light lit up, and the Jidao Empress's figure disappeared from the preparation area, appearing calmly atop a white jade arena.

Ying Yue'e looked at Su Feng nervously, only to find her husband looking leisurely, even more relaxed than when he was watching Shen Youchu fight.

"Husband, aren't you worried about Sister Jiuyou?" Ying Yue'e couldn't help but ask. "She's trailing the opponent by two strands of Origin."

"Worried about her?" A wicked smile curled on Su Feng's lips.

"The ones who should be worried are those other races."

Others didn't know the Jidao Empress's background; they only thought she was a demonic Cultivation Genius with an extremely fast growth rate.

But Su Feng knew very well that the one standing on that arena was the Reincarnation of the Jidao Empress who had once suppressed an entire Star Domain!

Competing against the Reincarnation of an Empress? They were simply tired of living!

At this time.

On arena number eight.

"Buzz!"

Space fluctuated as a burly middle-aged man, radiating the killing intent of Gengjin, landed opposite the Jidao Empress.

The man had a 'King' character pattern on his forehead; he was clearly a six-path Golden Immortal expert from the ancient Divine Beast descendant race—the White Tiger Clan!

The White Tiger man sized up the Jidao Empress, and sensing her weak "four-path Golden Immortal" aura, a flash of pity crossed his eyes.

"Little girl of the Human Race."

The White Tiger man crossed his arms, adopting the posture of a Senior as he advised, "Between you and me, there is a foundation gap of two full strands of Great Dao Origin! Fists and feet have no eyes on this arena. My White Tiger Clan specializes in slaughter; once I strike, you won't even have the chance to surrender."

In his view, this little human girl was unknown.

Though he didn't know what means she used to pass the trials, in the face of such an absolute Realm gap, any trick was futile.

"I consider that it wasn't easy for your Human Race to Cultivate. As long as you get off the arena yourself, I can show mercy and not break your Dao Heart!"

Listening to the White Tiger man's self-righteous words of "mercy."

The Jidao Empress's exquisite face remained expressionless.

If this were her previous life, a "Divine Beast" like this who hadn't even touched the rules wouldn't even be qualified to be her watchdog.

And now, this kitten actually dared to tell her to surrender?

"Noisy ant."

The Jidao Empress didn't bother listening to his nonsense anymore.

"Buzz—!"

She didn't summon any Magic Treasure.

There was no earth-shattering collision of immortal power.

The Jidao Empress's pupils, which were originally pitch black, suddenly transformed into an extreme crimson in this instant!

Her Divine Sense, which was at the level of an Extreme Dao Great Emperor and had once slaughtered billions of lives, was like an invisible world-ending celestial blade, crashing into the White Tiger man's Sea of Consciousness without any fanfare!

High in the sky.

The projection of Lin Fan, who had been sitting at the end of the void.

At the moment the Jidao Empress erupted with that Divine Sense!

Lin Fan's deep eyes, which had been closed for a hundred years, suddenly snapped open!

His lofty Saint projection actually trembled uncontrollably for a moment!

"This... this kind of Divine Sense fluctuation?!!!"

Lin Fan stared fixedly at the little girl on arena eight, waves of shock crashing through his heart.

That was a fluctuation that even he, a Saint of the Major Thousand Worlds, would feel an uncontrollable shiver in the depths of his Soul the moment he sensed it!

Yes, it was fear!

Since becoming a Saint, Lin Fan had, for the first time, shown a look of losing his composure during a competition of these ants in the Lower Realm!

"This is no Golden Immortal at all! This level of Soul condensation..."

"That kid Su Feng... where on earth did he dig up such an old monster?!" Lin Fan roared frantically in his heart, feeling that his previous "angel investment" in Su Feng was a massive profit!

And at this time on arena eight.

The White Tiger Clan expert, who a second ago was acting high and mighty and advising the Jidao Empress to surrender with a pitying tone.

At this moment, his burly body was like it had been hit by a "time pause button."

The arrogance on his face instantly froze.

He didn't even have time to let out a single scream.

He didn't even have time to condense the White Tiger Slaughter Dao he was so proud of.

In those fierce eyes, all life force and Soul fire were dominantly erased the moment they contacted the Jidao Empress's Extreme Dao Divine Sense!

They became completely hollow and dead!

"Thud..."

Under the stunned gazes of millions of experts from other races in the audience.

That invincible White Tiger Golden Immortal simply fell straight backward, slamming onto the white jade arena with a dull thud.

Divine Soul destroyed!

A cold breeze blew across the arena.

The experts of the various other races who were originally prepared to see the Human Race become a laughingstock, or even intended to overtake the Human Race's points in this stage.

At this moment, all of them stared slack-jawed at the red and black demonic figure on the arena, their jaws hitting the floor!

"Wha... what happened?!"

"That six-path Elder of the White Tiger Clan was fine just now! How did he suddenly... without even a move being made, just lie down?!"

"An instant kill?! Crossing a gap of two strands of Great Dao Origin... with just a look, a direct Divine Soul instant kill?!!"

The Prodigies of the other races who wanted to farm points frantically in this group looked at the Jidao Empress's red-glowing eyes and felt a chill rush from the soles of their feet to the crowns of their heads, completely freezing their Souls.

Looking at it this way.

Their so-called beautiful fantasy of "overtaking the Human Race's points"... was purely a daydream!
