Kong Xuan recalled how she was being provoked and insulted every day at the Demon Peac.o.c.k City by both Ye Futian and the Black Wind Condor, at the very first day of the Battle of Empty Realm.

From the looks of things, all that he did was to set up for this very day.

Beings as powerful as Jialou Feng refused to heed her orders, and the Bull Demon also ended up giving fake orders to take the army tasked with garrisoning Demon Peac.o.c.k City, to cut down the imperial flag at Emperor Li’s City. The implications were apparent.

It all mean that Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor’s Realm had actually already lost in the Battle of Empty Realm from the very beginning. With the Bull Demon being controlled, it would have been easy for their enemies to cut down the imperial flag at Demon Peac.o.c.k City, so easy that they would have been able to do it at any time. However, the Bull Demon did not end up doing so, or rather, Ye Futian was not in a hurry to kick them out of the compet.i.tion.

That was all because the forces of Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor’s Realm still had their use, from Ye Futian’s perspective. That was what led to the battle happening right before their eyes.

From the looks of things as they were at present, the siblings were made p.a.w.ns from the very beginning, ever since they partic.i.p.ated in the Battle of Empty Realm personally, by Ye Futian. It was all so ironic and one could have only guessed what was going through Kong Xuan’s mind at the moment. What transpired hurt her far more than any words of insult she had been served with.

“I beg your forgiveness, princess, for all my transgressions so far. All is fair in the Battle of Empty Realm, but I have no intentions of fighting to the death with your forces from Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor’s Realm. You’re free to step out of the battlefield. When the Battle of Empty Realm is over, I’d let those mighty ones from Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor’s Realm back to your side,” Ye Futian said as he apologized to Kong Xuan. It seemed as if his target was never the Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor’s Realm to begin with.

Kong Xuan understood that while Ye Futian’s words sounded brutal, but in actual, the forces of Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor’s Realm had long lost in the Battle of Empty Realm, and it was rather pointless for them to continue fighting.

But then again, being played to such extent—their demonic beasts were controlled by Ye Futian and they from Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor’s Realm being reduced to p.a.w.ns—was still something she found incapable of stomaching.

Nine-color divine light shone and imperial might coursed about and emanated from the feathers of Kong Xuan’s voluptuous body. The light shone everywhere and many mighty ones throughout the battlefield turned their eyes in her direction.

The divine feathers behind Kong Xuan were spread and as she was basked in the divine light, she looked like some unparalleled G.o.ddess and emanated a feral grace, so much so that one look was all it would have taken to etch such beauty in the minds of those who saw it, making them succ.u.mb to her astonis.h.i.+ng beauty.

However, there was without doubt that the beauty in display was an extremely lethal one.

It was especially so to Ye Futian as he was right there and then. He was able to sense that impending crisis looming over him.

Kong Xuan, the beloved daughter of the Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor, who was of a status on par to Xia Qingyuan of Emperor Xia’s Realm. She came to the battlefield armed with items of the Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor himself. Nine feathers from her father was infused in the divine feathers behind her. His powers were etched with them and those items were of incredibly power, as they were true items of the Renhuang. Furthermore, the feathers melded well with Kong Xuan, fitting into her peac.o.c.k feathers perfectly.

An extremely huge shadow of the peac.o.c.k appeared. Its wings spread, blocking out the sky and even her enemies were unable to help but marvel at its beauty.

However, there seemed to be eyes all over the feathers of that huge peac.o.c.k. Kong Xuan extended her hand and shrouded Ye Futian within. He felt, right there and then, as if he was being pinned down by the light of the peac.o.c.k. Terrifying devouring powers threatened to consume everything around him, so much so that even the might of the great path was not to be spared as well.

That devouring power seemed to be imbued with divine light out to destroy any power of rules as well, tearing apart all powers that Ye Futian was able to gather. The nine-color divine light pierced his body. Under Kong Xuan’s unreserved, all-out attacks, Ye Futian looked extremely puny and insignificant, as if he was about to be destroyed within that extreme beauty he was shrouded within.

Ye Futian held on tight to the Halberd of Time and s.p.a.ce in his hand. That time however, the Halberd of Time and s.p.a.ce, Nothingness, which was ranked third on the Divine Implements of the Nine States Rankings, seemed to be completely overpowered by that of his enemy. But then again, given Kong Xuan’s status and might, it all seemed completely normal instead.

Kong Xuan’s divine implement aside, even the Divine Armoring Cauldron behind Gongsun Zhong from Divine Cloud Valley, would have been on par with the Halberd of Time and s.p.a.ce. The lord of Divine Cloud Valley was the number one armorer in all of Emperor Xia’s Realm after all.

Light of rules coursed all over Ye Futian’s body. While his physical body was indeed extremely formidable, he nonetheless needed to fortify defenses using rules. The nine-color divine light hit him. His physical body rattled as the rules were broken and the divine light blasted straight onto his body, shaking his insides tremendously.

Kong Xuan, who was not yet a saint, was nonetheless already able to threaten his physical body, which he had tempered with the medicinal baths. That meant that the attacks that Kong Xuan unleashed onto him by borrowing the power of Imperial Feathers of the Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor, had considerably eclipsed that of the light of catastrophe of the Great Path.

The devouring power that was out to devour the great path shrouded Ye Futian’s body. Everything at their surroundings seemed to be flowing to where Kong Xuan was standing.

Ye Futian was also caught in that terrifying whirlpool and being gradually drawn to where Kong Xuan was.

He held tightly onto the Halberd of Time and s.p.a.ce as his body burst with dazzling light. His body looked somewhat taller as the Seven Star acupoints throughout his body was activated. The limits on his physical body were lifted and he became even far more powerful. Under such state, he felt as if he had touched the great path, feeling as if his physical body itself was an embodiment of the great path, holding unparalleled amounts of power.

Boom. Terrifyingly devastating light of calamity of the storm was unleashed, sweeping everything around them. Sliver of storms of the light of calamity hit the peac.o.c.k behind Kong Xuan. Scenes of doomsday were seen around them and Kong Xuan felt as if her spiritual will was being severely rattled. Harrowing might of the calamity struck directly into her mind.

Ye Futian’s body moved at the same time. He no longer attempted to resist the devouring power and chose to move with it instead, bringing out the highest speed he was able to achieve, in the form of the Extreme Shadow.

He lashed out with the halberd in his hand and burst with devastating light of the calamity, fusing the light within the weapon. The devouring shadow of the peac.o.c.k crumbled right there and then as the attack was brought about with extreme speed. Kong Xuan, however, was hardly fazed when the peac.o.c.k shadow was penetrated. Her slender hand clenched into a fist and nine-color divine light coursed on it, fusing with her fist will before she threw it out straight before her. Her fist seemed to have been infused with the light of the Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor, clas.h.i.+ng head-on with the Halberd of Time and s.p.a.ce.

Boom. Ye Futian was thrown behind with a rumble while Kong Xuan’s arm felt rattled. Even with the power of the Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor extending to protect her body, she nonetheless felt her arm going numb as she took on the attack from her opponent’s weapon. It was a testament of Ye Futian’s immense power.

At the very next moment, Kong Xuan saw her opponent drew a dazzling arc with his body and continued to launch straight for her. That attack seemed to have packed more punch than his last.

Her beautiful wings flapped and she took one step forward, throwing out yet another punch. Peac.o.c.k shadow was seen and thousands of dazzling feathers of nine colors were unleashed, intending to bury Ye Futian right there and then.

Ye Futian was thrown back yet again. He felt as if he had taken untold number of hits within that split second, yet he continued to draw a dazzling arc in the air and dived below. Kong Xuan spread her wings and took flight, seeing how Ye Futian was growing increasingly powerful. Both figures continued to clash in midair with earth-shattering force emanating throughout their surroundings. Violet shockwaves were thrown about as the nine-color divine light shot to their surroundings. Any top notch figures that even attempted to get close were surprisingly penetrated by the nine-color divine light and died on the spot.

None of them were able to even withstand the aftershock brought by the battle between Kong Xuan and Ye Futian. It was undoubtedly a testament of the immense power the pair of human and demonic beast was unleas.h.i.+ng at each other.

There were some who turned their attention at the battle between the two. Ye Futian seemed to have split himself into thousands of clones, as afterimages were seen throughout as if there was no end to it. The afterimages attacked furiously. Despite being shrouded by the divine light of the peac.o.c.k, the looming power was entirely incapable of pinning Ye Futian down.

At that very moment, thousands of Extreme Shadows merged into one being. Their surroundings howled as rules and the great path resonated. He lashed out with an attack of the halberd with earth-shattering might.

Boom. A rumble was heard as Kong Xuan’s body was thrown behind violently. Her arms trembled and the light behind her seemed to have dimmed somewhat.

Time and s.p.a.ce seemed to have stopped moving with Ye Futian at the center. The nine-color divine light swooped by, shattering the rules of the great path and tearing the binding powers of s.p.a.ce rules apart. Kong Xuan’s eyes were locked onto Ye Futian.

She felt as if a terrifying tidal force was sweeping in her direction and it grew in power as it moved, as if it was a tsunami of rules out to destroy everything.

Terrifying light of calamity hit her as the incoming force clashed with the nine-color divine light. Ye Futian took one step after another. The s.p.a.ce shook as if it was about to shatter. He seemed to have fused with the s.p.a.ce altogether and the great path resonated with him.

Voom.

A s.p.a.ce afterimage came and went in a flash, streaking through s.p.a.ce. Dazzling divine light crashed onto the incoming force, yet was all torn down by that one attack with the halberd.

That was the most powerful attack from the halberd named as the weapon itself: Nothingness.

Everything under the heavens were reduced to nothing.

A shadow of the peac.o.c.k appeared in a dazzling manner right behind Kong Xuan. Boundless nine-color light swooped by and threatened to drown Ye Futian in it. Kong Xuan’s demonic eyes glared at Ye Futian unflinchingly. Her arm was thrown right before her, with boundless divine light streaking through the air, heading for Ye Futian.

The Halberd of Time and s.p.a.ce was unleashed. At that moment, the nine-color divine light seemed to have been split opened, raging about as they gushed at Ye Futian’s side, drowning the s.p.a.ce around them.

That power rendered Kong Xuan’s face ashen. Light of the divine feathers shrouded her body. One divine feathers after another fell and clashed with the incoming weapon.

Doom. The power of the Halberd of Time and s.p.a.ce seemed to have penetrated the protection of the divine feathers with a loud rumble, hitting squarely on Kong Xuan’s body. Her body was thrown behind as her wings were opened, with many cracks seen on them. Her stunning looks looked rather pale and blood was seen at the corner of her mouth.

“Kong Xuan,” Kong Zhan called. He was fighting Xia Qingyuan at the moment. He flashed and left the battlefield he was in, after seeing his sister’s predicament. His eyes remained glaring coldly at Ye Futian as he headed towards Kong Xuan.

“I lost.” Kong Xuan looked rather pale. She had lost to Ye Futian, the silver-haired cultivator who went to her city every day to provoke her.

The forces of Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor’s Realm was reduced to becoming p.a.w.ns of the enemy. They suffered an overwhelming loss at the Battle of Empty Realm, and at the moment, even she had been bested by someone else personally. They had practically lost in every front in that year’s Battle of Empty Realm.

Kong Xuan was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with confidence when she came to command her forces personally in the Battle of Empty Realm, devoting herself to returning victorious with the forces of Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor’s Realm. None of them had expected to suffer such a brutal end.

“The forces of Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor’s Realm, I’d advise you to back away from the battlefield,” Ye Futian was heard saying to Kong Xuan, while being high up in the air. He then turned his attention to the other battlefield. It would have been embarra.s.singly impotent of the mighty ones from Emperor Xia’s Realm, if they were to remain incapable of getting the situation under control while the enemy was busy fighting themselves. When the army from Emperor Xia’s Realm joined the fight, they pulverized enemy formations within a short notice, killing many mighty ones from Emperor Li’s Realm.

Furthermore, the forces from Emperor Li’s Realm had already been retreating without any intentions to fight any further. It could have been said that they have suffered a humiliating defeat.

Li Yao, Yuan Jin and the others retreated far away with their army, preparing to regroup and defend Emperor Li’s City. All hope was not lost if their imperial flag was still left standing!
