Chapter 306: Death by Love, Tribulation Venerable

“No way! How could the Empress be so concerned about Nie Chen? It doesn’t make sense!”

Great Emperor Jin Ming was completely dumbfounded.

In his impression, Chu Qingyue was aloof and even Great Emperor experts couldn’t desecrate her.

Moreover, to scold someone for being a virgin implied that Nie Chen must also be one!

The two had previously interacted sweetly, almost like a couple?!

Great Emperor Jin Ming was utterly startled and hurriedly looked at Saintess Fanhua and Great Emperor Pang Yuan.

“Ahem, I didn’t see anything.”

Great Emperor Pang Yuan coughed twice, feigning ignorance.

“Hmph, you can guess all you want, but I can’t just say anything.”

Saintess Fanhua smiled, but seemed slightly apprehensive.

Everyone’s reactions suggested they knew something, yet only Great Emperor Jin Ming seemed clueless, completely in the dark.

“Hey, what is going on?! Although I maintain the appearance of an eight-year-old child to cultivate the Ten Million Sword Domain, don’t treat me like a fool!”

Great Emperor Jin Ming shouted, but it seemed no one paid him any attention.

“Blegh, idiot, stop using a child’s form and break your virginity already. You’re so stupid it’s embarrassing.”

Only Ao Lan made a face at him before immediately hiding behind Nie Chen’s leg.

“You, you Little Dragon!”

Great Emperor Jin Ming almost vomited blood in anger.

It was bad enough being humiliated by Nie Chen, but now even his pet beast looked down on him.

Before today, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?!

“You, just you wait!”

Staring at Nie Chen, Great Emperor Jin Ming trembled with rage.

He refused to believe the Empress truly had any connection with Nie Chen.

It must have been out of concern for her disciple. Next, it was time to expose Nie Chen’s lies!

Just as Great Emperor Jin Ming was pondering, the situation changed.

Although the skeletons were incredibly strong, each with a body as hard as rock, rivaling Opening Profound Realm cultivators, under the siege of cultivators from all sects, they had begun to show signs of defeat.

Numerous powerful cultivators from Lanchuan Continent had gathered here.

Furthermore, led by cultivators from the Heavenly Cloud Palace and the Sacred Lands of Fanhua, two incredibly powerful forces, many fought with increasing bravery, unleashing their ultimate moves.

Boundless magical treasures flashed within the Emperor Mausoleum, as if even the blood-red sky was dyed a different color.

The sounds of fighting echoed, feet trampling upon the skeletons’ scattered white bones.

The numerous cultivators of Lanchuan Continent displayed high morale, fighting with increasing ferocity.

The skeleton army, which had initially held the upper hand due to its numbers, was now steadily retreating.

“Bang.”

Master Fenwen shattered a seemingly evolved Skeleton King with a single palm, his body bathed in a faint golden Buddhist light, and shouted to the cultivators behind him:

“Everyone, put in more effort! We’re about to repel these underworld creatures!”

“Charge!”

Some slashed with swords, some swept with spears, and some threw exploding talismans. Everyone’s morale seemed to rise another level.

The skeleton army’s momentum was completely suppressed.

The cultivators advanced relentlessly, annihilating nearly half of the skeletons.

But just when everyone thought it was almost over, the seemingly defeated skeleton army suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterward, numerous skeletons emerged from the rear.

All the skeletons parted to the sides, revealing a path.

As if what was about to arrive was a being they greatly feared.

“Strange, how did these unintelligent creatures suddenly become so strange? What is happening?”

Instantly, the air became oppressive.

As the skeleton army parted, a voice slowly emerged from the depths of the blood-red Emperor Mausoleum.

Instantly, a different kind of pressure suppressed all directions.

The faint bloody aura drifting in the air made many cultivators widen their eyes, feeling their hearts race.

Even their breathing became rapid.

As if the world was covered by vast clouds, the terrifying pressure was even more chilling than that of a Great Emperor expert.

“What kind of being is this, how can it possess such pressure?!”

Even Master Fenwen, who had been charging at the forefront, couldn’t help but take a step back, his eyes filled with shock.

Four Great Emperors were present, but even after experiencing a Great Emperor’s Majesty, this even more terrifying majesty made him tremble endlessly.

A pressure even more terrifying than Empress Qingyue’s? What kind of being was this?!

“That… that is!”

When the skeleton army parted like a tide, revealing the blood-red figure, countless cultivators paled, looking ahead in disbelief.

Their legs trembled slightly.

Because the figure that appeared was the one recorded to have once broken through the Ascension Realm and reached the Tribulation Realm—Venerable Qiu Yan!

“Venerable.”

Only Great Emperor experts who reached the Tribulation Realm were qualified to be called Venerable.

For Lanchuan Continent, where a Tribulation Realm expert hadn’t appeared for a thousand years, the term Venerable had become unfamiliar.

But even so, the supreme legends of those who once looked down upon the world and were revered by all still circulated.

And Venerable Qiu Yan, who had once reached the Tribulation Realm, was such a being.

Legend had it that Venerable Qiu Yan was once the most formidable female cultivator of her time.

Not only did she reach the Great Emperor Realm, but with her extraordinary Gift, she even stepped into the Tribulation Realm, becoming known as Venerable.

But Venerable Qiu Yan, who had enjoyed boundless reverence and held the position of Venerable, ultimately chose a path no one could have imagined.

Because of her Dao Companion’s death, Venerable Qiu Yan chose not to live alone in the world, ultimately crippling her spiritual foundation and dying.

Although there was much controversy among cultivators at the time, even though it was only recorded in history, countless cultivators admired and praised this Venerable for her courage to love and hate.

But at this moment, no one expected that Venerable Qiu Yan, who had been gradually forgotten by countless people, would actually reappear in the Emperor Mausoleum.

And, in this manner.

Venerable Qiu Yan slowly walked along the path created by the countless skeletons.

Her deceased corpse showed no signs of abnormality.

As described in the records, her appearance was indeed incomparably beautiful, even filled with envy.

But, everyone could clearly see that Venerable Qiu Yan’s eyes were empty and lifeless, with a faint blood-red tinge.

“That’s the corpse of a Tribulation Realm Venerable!”

Countless people were shocked and terrified.
