Having risen from an ordinary unfavored prince to his current status, Yuanqing truly did not want to die.
Moreover, having defied destiny, as long as he lived, there was a nine out of ten chance that he could inherit the Power Destiny and beco a pinnacle figure standing atop the world. To die here would feel too much of a loss.
"Hehehe, if you capture , will you spare ?"
Zhang Xuan looked over.
"Of course not!"
Prince Yuanqing shook his head.
He had wanted to kill the young man before him for a long ti, and if given the chance, he would never let it slip by. Even if he lied, the other party would not believe him.
"In the end, the victor becos king, and losing in your hands is no sha!"
Knowing that the other party would never spare him, Prince Yuanqing quickly accepted his fate, looking straight and firm.
Ever since he embarked on the path of seizing the crown, he had made thorough ntal preparations. He just hadn’t expected to eliminate all competitors, only to fall at the hands of an outsider.
He should have realized earlier that letting the other party seize the Eternal Heart would have been best. As long as there was no enmity, he believed the other party wouldn’t go to the lengths of extermination.
Unfortunately, there’s no "what if."
"Empyrean Kong shi, do you wish to keep this person?"
With a gentle sweep of his palm, the Chaotic Power enveloped Prince Yuanqing, sealing him inside as Zhang Xuan looked toward Empyrean Kong shi flying over from not far away.
"You decide. I have no objections."
Empyrean Kong shi shook his head.
"Entering the Chaos Origin Domain with him, and now coming out alone, aren’t you afraid that Emperor Fusheng will bla you?" Zhang Xuan wondered.
"Hahaha, in the face of destiny, all are equal. To Emperor Fusheng, it’s only a threat if he lives; killing him might be a good thing," Empyrean Kong shi chuckled.
"This..."
Zhang Xuan suddenly realized.
The royal family is inherently heartless, all the more so when it involves the Unique Destiny.
If the current prince were allowed to grow, he would certainly be replaced, which ans it would be his ti to die. Even if Emperor Fusheng had a broad heart, he certainly could not accept this.
No wonder Emperor Fusheng never intervened in their nurous battles. It seems he intended to use Zhang Xuan’s hand to deal with the hidden threat.
If Yuanqing passed the test and grew beyond him, it would show destiny was aligned, passing on the Power Destiny Inheritance appropriately. If he died in a struggle, it would only an he wasn’t worthy of possessing the First Level Destiny.
"Had you already guessed Emperor Fusheng’s intention?"
Curiously looking at the prince before him.
"Whether I guessed it or not, what does it matter? Once I’m dead, soone else will beco the prince. To him, it never mattered," Prince Yuanqing shook his head.
Which monarch successor didn’t have blood on their hands? Though he was the other’s son, it seed it never mattered much.
"Alright then!"
Zhang Xuan nodded, clenching his power in his five fingers.
Bang!
The prince Yuanqing, who had pursued him countless tis, imdiately exploded, transforming into a mighty force absorbed into the Suspended Realm.
After the execution, Zhang Xuan reached out again, bringing forth the Mountain and River Blood Decree that floated nearby, lightly shaking it into the Suspended Realm, refining it in a blink.
"Let’s try fusing this celestial treasure with the Myriad Lives Chaos Mirror and the Xuanyuan War Chariot!"
With a thought, Zhang Xuan appeared within the Suspended Realm.
This ti, entering the Chaos Origin Domain, not only did his cultivation break through, but he also obtained celestial treasures no less powerful than the Xuanyuan War Chariot. Refining them together might allow this artifact to break the shackles of a Second Level Supre Treasure and reach Tier-1 Empire!
If successful, this might be the Source World’s first artificially forged Tier-1 Empire treasure.
Stable in mind, Zhang Xuan, with a wave of his palm, brought the Mountain and River Blood Decree, Ten Directions Blood Buddha Banner, Myriad Lives Chaos Mirror, and Xuanyuan War Chariot together, slowly fusing with visible speed.
With prior experience in treasure refining and enhanced command over Love Destiny, the fusion of celestial treasures ford a singular entity within a re quarter of an hour.
"They still need honing and an opportunity to battle experts before a complete fusion can truly be achieved."
Zhang Xuan nodded silently.
Using Love Silk to bind these treasures together is possible, but achieving a perfect union was still difficult, especially with the inherent repulsion of the Ten Directions Blood Buddha Banner against all weapons.
Unless... like in last ti’s battle with Wu Potian, it’s continuously hamred with a strong force.
However, even without perfect fusion, Xuanyuan War Chariot’s level was notably improved, now nearly reaching half-step Tier-1 Empire treasure status.
This level of celestial treasure, even for a figure like Emperor Fusheng, was challenging to break open, as long as concealed within, one would be fearless of anyone.
Huff!
Having nearly refined the Xuanyuan War Chariot, Zhang Xuan returned to the Chaos Origin Domain. At this point, Youye Emperor recovered, slowly approaching, bowing with clenched fists.
"Since you have refined the Myriad Lives Chaos Mirror, you should possess the thod to resolve my curse. I look forward to fulfilling your prior promise..."
Her assistance against Buddha Demon arose because Zhang Xuan could help lift the curse. Now was the mont to reap that outco.
"Regarding the curse, it’s essentially Myriad Lives Chaos Mirror’s control over you. Are you sure you wish to be free?"
Zhang Xuan looked over: "Freedom equates to death..."
"At first, I thought living long would be joyous, but upon truly possessing Endless longevity, I suddenly realized it holds no aning!"
Gently swiping her palm, a chair appeared before her. Youye Emperor sat on it, curling up like a pitiful kitten.
"I forever rember the stunning beauty of seeing the evening glow for the first ti, the exciting rush from beholding the sea, the intoxicating fragrance from my first drink--but I forget those Naless cultivators slain beneath the sword; forget the ambitions fading like smoke within hidden dinsions; forget the crushed cries of ants on the path to immortality. Those insignificant specks upon the quest, ultimately washed away by the torrent of the heavens, leaving not even a trace of karma... The beauty of life lies only in first encounters, and seen enough, one ceases to cherish."
Youye Emperor smiled over, her smile as radiant as a flower: "And I, having lived through tens of thousands of years, grown accustod to everything... let be free, thank you!"
Seeing her unwavering intention, Zhang Xuan shook his head without further words and gently brushed his palm.
Imdiately enveloping her in a glow, the eternal force she gained from the Myriad Lives Chaos Mirror as the ruler of the Chaos Origin Domain was retracted.
Buzz!
Without the empowernt of eternal life, Youye Emperor’s young and charming appearance rapidly aged, within a few breaths transforming from a graceful beauty into a frail elder.
"The Five Declines Purgatory Lamp was the Myriad Lives Chaos Mirror’s shackle upon , so I’m giving it to you..."
Knowing her longevity was ending and that artifacts held no use, Youye Emperor lightly waved her palm, sending the Five Declines Purgatory Lamp toward Zhang Xuan.
Simultaneously she faced him with a smiling look: "Thanks!"
Crash!
Transforming into countless stars, the Youye Emperor vanished into the Phantasm Space.
