"Your Highness..."

Ji Min's guards roared in anguish.

Ji Min was the Eldest Prince of the Yuhua Dynasty, the future Emperor Yuhua, yet now he lay dead. Once the current Emperor Yuhua learned of this, not only would they face death, but their families would also be implicated.

If they did not wish for their families to be implicated, they must die in battle, even if it was against their will.

Otherwise, their family members would all be executed by Emperor Yuhua for their failure to protect Eldest Prince Ji Min.

Although the responsibility lay with Third Princess Ji Xuan's collusion with the Devouring Heavenly Demon Emperor Ye Xian'er, as Ji Min's guards, their duty was to protect Eldest Prince Ji Min—even at the cost of their own lives.

Now that Eldest Prince Ji Min was dead, they certainly could not continue living.

"For vengeance for Your Highness!"

They knew they were no match for the Devouring Heavenly Demon Emperor Ye Xian'er, not even if they attacked together, but they still had to confront her and not let her leave unperturbed.

Otherwise, they couldn't bear the consequences that would follow.

"Burn the Origin, form the Firewood Array!"

Flames blazed on all of Ji Min's guards, the unique ancestral Firewood of the Human Race.

The burning of Firewood by a single person might not be terrifying.

But the ancestral Firewood triggered by dozens of people burning their Origins was extremely formidable. Even before forming the Firewood Array, the burning Origin Firewood twisted the air with its heat.

Once the Firewood Array was formed, its power would be even more terrifying!

However, Ye Xian'er did not prevent the actions of Ji Min's guards, standing coldly in the Void, as if not fearing the Firewood Array they were forming.

Boom!

Suddenly!

Endless Firewood intertwined in the Void to form a Great Array, the special Firewood Array of the Human Race.

Curiously though, the Firewood Array formed by the guards did not attack Ye Xian'er but protected Ji Min's True Spirit instead, preventing it from being annihilated by the Silent Annihilation Array or Ye Xian'er's attacks.

"Activate the Seal, send His Highness's True Spirit away!"

From within the Firewood Array, the leading guard's voice resounded, and the guard in charge of the talisman immediately drew upon the talisman, connecting to the Firewood Dao, allowing Ji Min's True Spirit to escape from the endless flames, leaving the confines of the Nameless Valley.

"Damn it!"

Ye Xian'er watched as the True Spirit of her nemesis, Ji Min, was sent away by the Firewood Dao, and her beautiful eyes instantly revealed a chilling glint. The Ghost Face Mask on her face radiated a dazzling dark light, and the phantom of three thousand Primordial worlds manifested, drawing upon the Devouring Dao, devouring a strand of life from Ji Min's True Spirit.

Crack!

The Void couldn't withstand the burst of the Devouring Dao's Attack, fracturing into several enormous black holes, from which various Dao refined appeared, forming an even more fearsome Attack, hurtling towards the Firewood Dao-encased Ji Min's True Spirit.

This strike was Ye Xian'er's strongest Attack to date, and also a pinnacle representation of her Dao Law. Even Cultivators of the Chaos Realm might not be able to endure it. Once hit, the Firewood Dao-enveloped Ji Min's True Spirit stood no chance of survival!

But the guards protecting Ji Min's True Spirit, upon seeing Ye Xian'er's attack, one by one sacrificed their lives, transforming into the utmost energy to shield Ji Min's True Spirit from the blow.

"Rumble~"

A loud boom echoed.

The boundless Firewood dispersed, with the majority of the force blocked by the Firewood, only a small part hitting Ji Min's True Spirit.

"Pfft!"

Even so, it tore apart a third of Ji Min's True Spirit, nearly reaching the Origin of the True Spirit.

Whoosh!

The next second.

The Firewood Dao shook, enveloping Ji Min's True Spirit and disappearing into the Void, leaving behind Ye Xian'er standing in the Void with a cold aura.

The next instant.

A roar laden with a bone-chilling murderous intent came from billions of miles away from the Yuhua Dynasty, causing the entire Primordial to tremble violently, as if it were about to shatter the next second.

"Devouring Heavenly Demon, you dare harm a Prince of my Yuhua Dynasty, who gave you such audacity!"

Filled with rage, the voice burst forth a strong light which, in its flight, turned into a dreadful blade, sweeping across billions of miles of Void, directly heading for the Nameless Valley.

"Go!"

Ye Xian'er realized the terror of this Attack and, not wanting her subordinates to die there, quickly led them away, rushing towards the direction of the East Sea.

In just a brief moment, they vanished without a trace, leaving the dazzling blade to slash at nothingness.

But the Nameless Valley where they had just been was cleaved in two by this dazzling blade, cracking open a vast chasm, nearly splitting the entire mountain range in half.

The next second.

The imposing figure of a middle-aged man materialized as a phantom, his domineering gaze tinged with anger: "Devouring Heavenly Demon, this debt will be remembered by the Yuhua Dynasty!"

After speaking, he turned his head to look towards where the Third Princess Ji Xuan and others were located, his cold eyes sending a chill down their spines, nearly causing them to collapse.

"Ji Xuan, you and Ji Min were both here, why didn't you assist him?"

The anger and oppressive force in the voice swept through all directions, causing Ji Xuan and others to shudder uncontrollably.

But Ji Xuan was like a defiant fighting cock, stubbornly lifting her head, her eyes revealing madness and ferocity as she said, "Why should I help him?"

No sooner had her words fallen than a pair of cold glints shot from Emperor Yuhua Ji Wudi's eyes, penetrating the void before Ji Xuan and sending her flying out.

"Ptui!"

Ji Xuan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood as she hit the ground, her breath noticeably weaker.

Clearly, Emperor Yuhua's glance had caused her serious injury.

"He is your brother, the Eldest Prince of the Yuhua Dynasty, the future heir to the Yuhua Dynasty. Aren't these reasons enough?"

Emperor Yuhua Ji Wudi looked coldly at Ji Xuan, who was slumped on the ground. His eyes were filled with a chilling intent, not showing the slightest fatherly affection, as if he were looking at an ant that could be exterminated at any moment, infuriating Ji Xuan.

"He's undoubtedly my brother, the Eldest Prince of the Yuhua Dynasty, the heir to the Yuhua Dynasty.

But when has he ever treated me as a sister, when has he seen me as the Third Princess of the Yuhua Dynasty, when has he ever cared about my life and death.

He is your son, am I not your daughter?

He can become the heir to the Yuhua Dynasty, and I can be the heir as well.

The Yuhua Dynasty Ancestor once said that regardless of gender, anyone with virtue and talent can become the heir to the Yuhua Dynasty!

I don't consider myself inferior to Ji Min, I'm qualified to be the heir to the Yuhua Dynasty. Now that he's been killed by a powerful enemy, why should I save him!

With his death, there's one less contender.

Isn't that right?"

Ji Xuan fearlessly stared at the phantom of Emperor Yuhua Ji Wudi in the void, appearing utterly insane, as if after long suppression she finally erupted, her every shrieking sentence filled with heart-wrenching pain, rendering Emperor Yuhua Ji Wudi's phantom silent.

After a long while,

he sighed.

Looking at Ji Xuan with complicated eyes, he said, "Enough, in light of the fact that you are my child, I will not pursue today's matter!

Since you wish to compete for the heir position of the Yuhua Dynasty, leave the Emperor City and go back to your fief; show me some achievements worthy of recognition.

Otherwise, stay confined to your fief forever and never leave even for half a step.

Otherwise, do not blame your Father Emperor for being ruthless!"

Emperor Yuhua Ji Wudi was an invincible presence in Yuhua Heaven, and even among the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, he remained a pinnacle existence.

His words were like those of a sovereign's edict, as the endless Great Emperor Laws converged, forming a majestic force that enveloped Ji Xuan, who had already stepped into the Heavenly Dao Realm.

In merely three breaths' time, she was sent back to her fief within Yuhua Heaven.

"Heh!"

Standing in her fief, Ji Xuan looked up at the insurmountable phantom in the void, her delicate face filled with crazed fierceness, saying, "Clearly, I am the most outstanding among all the princes and princesses, the most powerful, yet you never see me.

You always think he's stronger and better than me, and even now that he's dead, you want to blame me!

Is it because I am a daughter?

Nuwa, White-clothed Empress, Ping Xin—they were all women, yet they achieved the most powerful positions in heaven and earth, receiving worship from countless beings.

Why can't I?

In your eyes, am I really so unworthy?

I won't accept this!"

Ji Xuan roars at the phantom of Emperor Yuhua Ji Wudi in the void, fearless of angering Emperor Yuhua Ji Wudi, perhaps having forgotten her inner fear due to his attitude towards her.

However, the phantom of Emperor Yuhua seemed as if it heard nothing, with no response, which nearly drove the furious Ji Xuan to lose her mind.

Over the years, no matter how exceptional her performance was, Emperor Yuhua would never spare her a glance, as if all her accomplishments were taken for granted.

This infuriated her.

She wouldn't accept it!

She was determined to prove to Emperor Yuhua that Eldest Prince Ji Min was no match for her.

She had done it.

Yet, Emperor Yuhua Ji Wudi still did not acknowledge her.

This made her suppress her emotions for many years, and they erupted forth.

Completely disregarding who she was roaring at?

Even if it was Emperor Yuhua, the most authoritative figure among the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

She was going to vent her repressed emotions...
