Chapter 196 Chapter 196: Unique

The Previous Emperor looked at the lonely back of his daughter who was looking out the window. He couldn't understand how they had come to this point, but it was too late to change things now.

Sighing, he turned around and followed after Xu Shan since it didn't look like his daughter was going to kill him. Moreover, Xu Shan was an opportunity for him.

For him to stand before his daughter and leave alive, it showed him that the young man was stronger than he thought.

"Just who are you? Did you know this was going to happen when you freed them?" the Emperor caught up to Xu Shan who was walking toward the exit.

"If you're talking about the deaths of every single person I freed, then yes. I expected something similar. But I didn't think it was going to be this quick. I thought they'll be able to buy me some time," Xu Shan answered honestly.

Things went beyond his plan, but fortunately, he was still fine. If he hadn't found that mysterious woman's body in the Cell, then he would've been dead by now.

The remarkable presence of Celestial Aura within her body, even after the passage of countless millennia since her demise, completely altered the course of events.

As a result, it held no significance for him whether the plan achieved its desired outcome or not. However, he would have undoubtedly preferred it to succeed.

'Everything happens for the best. It was a bluff that worked.' Xu Shan thought, looking at the Celestial Lotus in his hand.

He could feel his Bloodline being stimulated, just by holding the Celestial Lotus. All he had to do was consume it and awaken his second Celestial Spirit.

Xu Shan stepped out of the palace. Along the way, he hadn't seen a single sign of large-scale battle. It was clear how effortless the Empress took down the people who had left the prison.

She didn't hesitate even a little when killing them. The Emperor didn't notice it, but Xu Shan had seen the bodies in the room were completely devoid of any trace of Celestial Aura.

Not only did the Empress kill them, but she did so while devouring them.

"Your daughter is quite unique." Xu Shan commented, looking back at the palace.

Through the window, he could see the Empress looking at him.

"Do you mean frightening?" The Emperor inquired with a sigh. "Even I am uncertain of how she transformed into that. She had been such a naive and innocent child in her early days."

"No, I mean unique. She's not as frightening as you think. At least not when compared to..."

Xu Shan didn't speak further. When he thought up to this point, only one scene flashed before his eyes. It was the man who had split through the space and sky to enter the Celestial Realm, which forced Xu Shan to escape.

Xu Shan's memory of the man's presence remained vivid in his mind. However, when he encountered the Divine Empress, he realized the stark contrast between the two. The man's aura outshone the Divine Queen, making her pale in comparison.

Xu Shan knew he couldn't return until he became even stronger. At this point, just awakening his second Celestial Spirit wasn't enough. He had to take everything the Divine Queen had! He had to devour this world!

"Yo-" The Emperor uttered half a word but soon fell silent, shock flashing in his eyes.

In the distance, he could see the Generals of the Divine Empire that seemed to have returned from somewhere.

Their aura was dominating, albeit weaker than the Divine Empress. But what shocked the former Emperor was that the Generals were bringing a little girl with them.

That young girl walking next to them was unmistakably his younger daughter. Though her appearance may have changed slightly, he recognized her immediately. There was no doubt in his mind that it was her.

The woman had shackles around her hands, following the Generals like a prisoner that was going to her execution. Behind the little girl was her maid, also shackled.

"Yunxi?" the former Emperor exclaimed, rushing toward his daughter in the distance.

During his time in the cell, he couldn't help but imagine that his eldest daughter might have killed his youngest daughter by now. He had mentally prepared himself for the tragedy, but all sense of composure evaporated the moment he laid eyes on her.

The General in the lead frowned, watching an unknown haggard man rushing toward them.

The Divine Empress watched everything through the window, but she didn't interfere. She just watched like a mere Spectator as her General raised his Sword, about to take her father's head off. She felt no empathy for him.

The General raised his Sword.

"F-father?" Yunxi stuttered in disbelief. Just like her father thought she was dead, she also thought that he was dead.

"Don't come closer!" She exclaimed, knowing the General was going to attack it her father didn't stop.

Unfortunately, it was too late for her father. The General swung his bright sword.

A blazing flash of steel tore through the air. The world around Yunxi seemed to freeze in that moment as she closed her eyes.

As her eyes fluttered open, she found them immediately welling up with tears. Her heart froze in shock as she took in the sight before her. Her father lay on the ground but fortunately his head was still attached to his body.

On the other hand, the General looked surprised. Something strange had happened. The man who was running towards him had suddenly fallen to the ground, missing the Sword. The timing was just too right which was strange.

The General felt frustrated. He had a rule. Once his sword came out, it couldn't go back in the sheath without drinking the blood of his target.

He stepped closer to the haggard-looking man on the ground, aiming his Sword at the man's back. His sword came thrusting down, only for the man to freeze as he saw a bloody hand coming out of his chest.
