The ferry sailed steadily forward.
Chen Xia and Huang Qingyue sat at the rear, their expressions calm. Chen Xia had used a technique to conceal his aura, which deceived the will of the Immortal Realm and naturally also tricked the others.
Therefore, the other practitioners thought that, as usual, only a ferry had arrived from Heaven Pill Gate.
The Great Emperor of East Jia State unexpectedly came forward to escort the ferry, which caught Chen Xia off guard. He chuckled, "The momentum is quite impressive, though I'm not sure it will hold."
The Great Emperors of the Divine Realm were undoubtedly eyeing this ferry with greedy intentions, and three Great Emperors of East Jia State might not be enough.
"Probably trying to show the spirit of the practitioners of East Jia State. To have such spirit, he indeed deserves to be a Great Emperor," Huang Qingyue praised, then asked Chen Xia, "Chen Ge, are you really confident? If not, I can inform the Seventh Mountain Lord in advance and mobilize the external body of the Nine Mountains' Master. As the inheritor of the Ninth Mountain, I have one chance to mobilize an external body."
"It's fine," Chen Xia merely smiled, appearing both confident and indifferent.
The ferry sailed quickly, as if rushing to Treasure Ring Scale State.
Many great practitioners were waiting for the ferry to enter the territory of Treasure Ring Scale State.
Before entering, it was merely the ferry of Heaven Pill Gate bringing a large number of precious pills.
After entering, it would become a battleground for the Divine Realm and the Immortal Realm.
The ferry, like a ray of light splitting the heavens, passed through under the protection of three Great Emperors of East Jia State, entering the territory of Treasure Ring Scale State amidst the gaze of countless practitioners.
Finally...
A sudden burst of rainbow light appeared, and a figure even more intense than the sun appeared beside the ferry of Heaven Pill Gate, declaring in a deep voice, "Seventh Mountain Lord, welcoming the ferry of Heaven Pill Gate into Treasure Ring Scale State!"
The climax had arrived first. The Seventh Mountain Lord made the first move, appearing beside the ferry, manifesting his Dao, unleashing his full combat power. This was a warning to the Divine Realm to not have any other thoughts, or it would lead to a life-and-death fight.
This warning seemed effective, as the ferry sailed tens of thousands of miles without incident, nearly reaching the front lines between the two realms.
Far away, a bright flash of light suddenly appeared, incredibly dazzling.
The Seventh Mountain Lord's expression darkened. His figure flickered to the front of the ferry, and with a single hand gesture, he seized control of the surrounding ten-thousand-mile area, turning it into a sea of red. Simultaneously, he transmitted his voice to the three Great Emperors of East Jia State, "Protect the ferry well!"
Bang!
A tremendously powerful spiritual energy wave exploded where the Seventh Mountain Lord stood, twisting the entire sky. If viewed from above, one could see that the area had become a violent spiritual energy whirlpool.
The Wu Xi Great Emperor stood atop the ferry, along with the other two Great Emperors, forming a triangular defense to protect the ferry, never leaving a single step.
Within the spiritual energy vortex, the Seventh Mountain Lord erupted out in a dazzling crimson, roaring, "Come and exchange your life with me!"
The bright figure flashed again, and the heavens and earth seemed to compress into a single point.
This point became the brightest in an instant.
A loud collision followed, turning the sky dark and the ground collapsing. The entire Treasure Ring Scale State trembled, and even the bright light could be seen in other states.
A streak of light descended, followed by the figures of Immortal Realm Great Emperors. More and more streaks of light landed, as Great Emperors arrived one after another, gathering around the ferry to ensure its safe passage to the front lines of Treasure Ring Scale State.
The Immortal Realm Great Emperors had barely begun to take action when opposing lights collided with them. The Divine Realm Great Emperors launched an attack, officially beginning the slaughter between Great Emperors!
Outside, the battle was fierce and intense.
The ferry, however, remained perfectly still and unharmed under the protection of the Great Emperors.
Huang Qingyue's delicate face showed concern. As thoughts raced through her mind, she transmitted her spiritual sense, already contacting the external body of the Nine Mountains' Master. If an accident occurred, she could at least protect Chen Xia.
Chen Xia, on the other hand, leaned his head, feeling the restrictions of the Immortal Realm's will weakening. A faint smile appeared on his lips. Indeed, the more Immortal Realm Great Emperors gathered, the deeper his karmic connection with the Immortal Realm became.
Then it became simple. Slay Emperor Bixuan, gain the recognition of all practitioners in Treasure Ring Scale State, weaken the restrictions of the Immortal Realm's will, and then take over East Jia State. Step by step, it would all fall into place.
Simple.
Boom.
The ferry suddenly shook.
Huang Qingyue immediately stood up and said to Chen Xia seriously, "Chen Ge, leave first!"
"It's fine," Chen Xia smiled lightly, suddenly looking up as if sensing something and replying, "The finale has arrived."
He suddenly reached out, placing his hand over Huang Qingyue's head, and the grey-white colors of time enveloped her entire body.
At the very top of the ferry, a violent burst of black light exploded, as if torn from the void. From sky to earth, it formed a massive black light column, knocking the ferry down and even forcing the ordinary Great Emperors around it to fall.
This was the finale prepared by the Divine Realm, not a single practitioner, but an artifact that surpassed an Immortal Sword.
"Void Light Mirror!" The Seventh Mountain Lord exclaimed in disbelief.
The protective treasure of the Divine Realm's master had been used here!
The entire ferry crashed onto the ground, shattering into pieces, and all the Great Emperors stopped fighting.
The Immortal Realm Great Emperors stood in a daze, their faces filled with bewilderment and helplessness. All the preparations for this battle had been effortlessly lost.
The Divine Realm Great Emperors smirked with mockery.
From the broken ferry, footsteps suddenly sounded. A green-robed figure carrying a woman in a green dress slowly walked out.
Both were unharmed, and even Chen Xia's sleeves were spotless.
He set down Huang Qingyue, then rolled up his sleeves and smiled up at the Divine Realm Great Emperors, asking, "Have you heard of a treasure chest monster?"
What?
The Divine Realm Great Emperors looked puzzled but recognized Chen Xia. They didn't expect this primordial alchemist to be hiding in the ferry. But what was the point? The ferry had already been destroyed!
Chen Xia slowly raised his hand, sliding his finger upwards, and smiled at the crowd, "A story unfolds in stages: beginning, transition, climax, and end."
"It so happens that this is the climax, and will soon be your end."
His raised hand suddenly twisted into the shape of a dragon head, with his index finger and thumb touching. He smiled and said, "Bite."
Roar!
A dragon's roar echoed across Treasure Ring Scale State, shaking the heavens and earth. The dragon's head, just pouncing, caused rivers and lakes to reverse in the state, and the bite instantly drained the spiritual energy of Treasure Ring Scale State.
Practitioners from other states could also see the massive dragon head appearing, as if about to bite off Treasure Ring Scale State's territory.
With one bite.
Two Divine Realm Great Emperors disappeared.
The enormous dragon head, carrying incomparable pressure, retreated.
Chen Xia burped.
Treating exploration thrills, true flavor Chen Xia speaks.
Today's menu: Two Great Emperors.
Succulent and tasty.
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone. Just enjoy, and the money follows, making it all about effortless fun. The system comes with a scanning feature, allowing him to establish a favorability bond with women rated 85 points or above. Every 20-point increase in favorability unlocks additional rewards.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
