Xianyang City!
After Shang Yang's reforms, Qin Country had beco the most powerful nation on earth.
King Zhao, building upon his ancestors' achievents, was preparing to sweep across the six states and unify the land. Unfortunately, this was not to be accomplished in his lifeti. The one who would truly unify the six states, the First Emperor, had not yet even been born.
Lu Ziyi walked through the streets of Xianyang City with caution.
She had arrived here directly.
The entrance to the Secret Realm of Ti-Space Seal was quite peculiar. The point of arrival within the realm was almost entirely random, though confined to a certain range.
Xianyang, the capital of Qin Country, is ho to at least six Great Saint Level powerhouses. That King Zhao might have even surpassed the third Heavenly Ladder, reaching the seventh heaven or an even higher cultivation.
Lu Ziyi's delicate brows furrowed. She was troubled by how she might obtain the treasure currently guarded by Qin Country: one of the Nine Tripods—the Tripod of Yongzhou!
「Fifty years ago.」
During the reign of King Hui of Qin, Qin Country had already secretly obtained one of the Nine Tripods.
This was an unsurpassable treasure!!
Part of Emperor Weapons!
One ninth!
An Emperor Weapon personally forged by King Da Yu—the last Great Emperor Level powerhouse on earth—it was a supre treasure crafted to suppress the karmic fortune of the Nine Provinces and bring order to the land and rivers!
Emperor Weapon!
What concept was that?
Any Emperor Weapon embodied the essence of a suprely powerful Dao within a universe, representing the very origin of the Dao—an existence supre above all!
With just a light strike!
It could shatter worlds and obliterate the Star Sea across tens of millions of light-years, its power terrifying beyond asure!!
However, this is, after all, only a Ti-Space Seal, not reality. It would be quite an accomplishnt if the Nine Tripods within this Seal possessed power equivalent to the Saint King level, Lu Ziyi thought, estimating the greatest gains she could possibly achieve this ti.
Of course, the current primary issue was how to obtain the Yongzhou Tripod. Such a treasure would undoubtedly be under extrely tight security, most likely guarded by a Great Saint in person. Attempting to seize it by force would surely fail.
Unless I could draw the tiger away from the mountain, leaving Xianyang City vulnerable, the chances are almost non-existent...
Ideas whirled through Lu Ziyi's mind as she pondered her plan. Now is the critical juncture of the Battle of Changping. To make Xianyang vulnerable, the best strategy would be to exacerbate the situation at Changping. Does that an I should aid Zhao Country?
However, just as Lu Ziyi was considering how to obtain the Yongzhou Tripod, a prince strolling through Xianyang City noticed her. Her celestial, fairy-like beauty instantly captivated the prince.
"Attendants, bring this young lady to my residence," the prince ordered directly, not giving it a second thought as he instructed his n to abduct Lu Ziyi.
He was the Prince of Qin!
In Xianyang City, everyone obeyed the commands of King Qin, and as the prince, he naturally acted without restraint.
"What are you doing!?" Lu Ziyi also noticed the changes around her and imdiately beca alard. She looked up and asked cautiously, "What do you want to do?"
"Fear not, little lady, this prince will let you experience the ultimate pleasures of the mortal world, HAHA!" Seeing Lu Ziyi's anger, the Prince of Qin only grew more excited. He shouted, "n, summon the experts! Seize her! HAHA!!"
"You're courting death!!" Lu Ziyi's face filled with anger, and she imdiately struck out. A sword strike flashed through the air, splitting the Prince of Qin in two. She then declared sternly, "I am a true successor of the Jade Pool Holy Sect. How dare you behave so presumptuously!!"
An abrupt, dead silence fell. In this era, the Jade Pool Holy Sect had not yet fully withdrawn from the world, and its contemporary Sect Master was a formidable expert at the Nine Heavens of the Great Saint!
The na resounded like thunder!
Everyone present, soldier and civilian alike, was stunned. They stared in disbelief at Lu Ziyi and at the Prince of Qin's bisected body on the ground!!
Just at this mont, a vast and authoritative voice suddenly rang out, "Since a fairy from the Jade Pool Holy Sect has arrived, why was I not inford?" The Heavenly Essence instantly solidified, as if seized by an endless force!!
Lu Ziyi felt her entire body stiffen, unable to move even an inch. Then, the scene before her eyes shifted, and she found herself standing inside a magnificent palace!!
Flanking her were more than a dozen armored soldiers, their internal energy powerful and vigorous. All were Saint Lord level powerhouses, their strength comparable to ordinary Saints from the outside world!!
In front, on the high seat, the throne!
A man dressed in a black robe sat on the throne. His aura was imnse; rely by sitting there, he seed to command the entire world in all directions, appearing even more imperial than the Heavenly Emperor himself!
It was King Zhao of Qin!
"You killed my son. Do you have anything to say?" King Zhao of Qin seed unfazed by the Jade Pool Holy Sect's reputation. He sat casually on his throne, unabashedly scrutinizing Lu Ziyi's appearance and figure with an expression of clear admiration for her beauty.
"There's nothing to say." Lu Ziyi's delicate brows were slightly furrowed; King Zhao's gaze made her deeply uncomfortable. She said, "For the esteed Prince of Qin to have such a despicable character—his death only cleanses the world."
"You're right, dead is dead," King Zhao unexpectedly nodded and then narrowed his eyes at Lu Ziyi. "However, he was ultimately my son. Since you killed him, you must compensate
with another. Co, bear
a son! HAHAHAHA!!"
"You!!?" Lu Ziyi was imdiately shocked!!
At the sa ti, she felt an overwhelming force attacking from all directions, as if an invisible hand was about to grab her and drag her toward King Zhao's throne!!
"Your Majesty!!"
But at that mont, soone suddenly reported from outside, their tone sounding extrely urgent!!
King Zhao's brows furrowed, and he dispersed the energy he had just gathered, providing Lu Ziyi a mont of relief. Yet, she could still sense that the entire grand hall was sealed, making escape impossible.
What to do, what should I do now?? Lu Ziyi was starting to panic. She hadn't expected to be thrown into such an unforeseen predicant; it was far too unexpected.
The people of this era were incredibly powerful but also excessively barbaric, resorting to force without any attempt at discussion!!
"What's the matter?" King Zhao asked, his face irritated. This sudden report had interrupted his amusent.
"Lord Wu An has returned," the ssenger said respectfully.
"Lord Wu An?"
King Zhao was stunned for a mont. How long has it been? Could the Battle of Changping have already ended? How could it be so soon??
TAP, TAP, TAP!!
Before King Zhao could summon him, footsteps were already approaching from outside. Lord Wu An, Bai Qi, strode in. He cast a surprised glance at Lu Ziyi, who was trapped in the hall, before kneeling on one knee before King Zhao!
"Your Majesty, there is a man outside the city who has a ssage for
to deliver to you," Bai Qi said straightforwardly, explaining his purpose. He was genuinely terrified that if Qin Heng was displeased, he might obliterate Xianyang City in an instant!!
The terrifying sights he had witnessed on his journey had shown him the might of that individual. His presence was like the Heavenly Emperor descending to the mortal realm, possessing strength so formidable that truly no one in the world could rival him!
"What does Lord Wu An an?" King Zhao stood up and sneered, "Bai Qi, are you betraying Qin Country??"
"Gongsun Qi will remain a man of Qin, even in death." Bai Qi then said with utmost respect, "It's just that the person who has co is too powerful. Please, Your Majesty, allow
to finish this ssage."
"Speak," King Zhao looked down at Bai Qi, speaking indifferently. "Lord Wu An probably doesn't fully comprehend how formidable the true experts of this world can be. This King, however, is curious to hear what that Innate pinnacle youngster outside the city has to say."
Innate pinnacle, too powerful? Could it be Qin Heng? But why would he co here? To save ? No, that's not right. How would he know I was in danger, and furthermore... Lu Ziyi's thoughts were in turmoil.
"Your Majesty, please submit and acknowledge the person outside the city as Qin Emperor," Bai Qi said, bowing his head, not daring to look at King Zhao. "Otherwise, he will obliterate Xianyang City!!"
"HAHAHAHA! How audacious!!" King Zhao roared with laughter, his fury evident. His aura as a Great Saint of the Eighth Heaven surged skyward, tearing through the firmant as if the Great Dao itself had descended. Boundless radiance erupted from him. "Then I shall personally see if that man possesses the qualifications to claim the title of Emperor!!"
BOOM!!
But just at that mont, a thunderous noise ca from the sky. A colossal finger, like a heavenly pillar from Mount Buzhou, descended, pressing down from the sky!!
"You ants, you overestimate yourselves!!!"
Qin Heng made his move!!
A single finger!
Suppressing Heaven and Earth!!!
