My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

"Now that I've come out of that place, it's time to quickly restore my strength."

The sinister black dragon's form twisted and slowly transformed into that of a young man in black attire. His appearance bore some resemblance to the Dragon Sovereign, but his eyes were eerie and devoid of the Dragon Clan's noble aura, instead exuding a hint of malevolence and ferocity. After stretching his limbs and cracking his neck, he was quite satisfied with this state.

"Indeed, among the Six Realms, only the Human Clan's form is the most comfortable."

"Children, follow me for a feast!"

With a wave of his hand, Ao Thirteen led a dense army of sinister creatures toward the direction of the East Sea Dragon Palace.

---

East Sea Dragon Palace, Crystal Palace.

In the midst of the azure sea, before a splendid golden gate, several shrimp soldiers and crab generals were chatting.

"When will the Dragon Sovereign return?"

"Without the Dragon Sovereign at the East Sea Dragon Palace, some Ocean Clans around here are on the brink of chaos. These are tough times!"

"A few days ago, the young master of the Flood Snake Clan had a conflict with a lobster soldier under the Dragon Clan, and they even came to blows."

"If this had happened before, even if you lent ten guts to the Flood Snake Clan, they wouldn't dare!"

"Don't worry, the Dragon Sovereign will return soon. Those guys won't be able to stir things up for much longer!"

As the shrimp soldiers and crab generals chatted, a dark mist swiftly surged through the water.

Before they could react, a young man in black attire landed steadily above the gate of the East Sea Dragon Palace. The young man looked at the plaque of the East Sea Dragon Palace on the gate, his eyes full of playful intent.

"How dare you intrude upon the East Sea Dragon Palace! Who are you? State your name!"

"Wait! You're... His Highness, the Third Royal Heir!?"

Several shrimp soldiers and crab generals immediately activated their treasures.

However, when they saw the appearance of the intruder, their eyes widened in disbelief.

"The Third Royal Heir... Wasn't he stripped of his dragon tendons and bones by the Dragon Sovereign and imprisoned in the Deep Sea Prison?"

"Deep Sea Prison is a place of death, and no Dragon Clan member has ever come out alive from there. This person cannot be the Third Royal Heir!"

"The aura around him isn't like that of the Third Royal Heir either. The Third Royal Heir may not be a good person, but he wouldn't be tainted with such dark and sinister energy."

"Who are you? What are you doing at the East Sea Dragon Palace!"

The leading lobster guard, wielding a crimson spear, directly confronted the young man in black attire.

Years ago, the Dragon Clan's Third Royal Heir had developed inappropriate feelings for the Dragon Clan Princess Ao Qin'er, which led to subsequent events, leaving the whereabouts of Princess Ao Qin'er still unknown.

Many Ocean Clans had heard about this, especially those under the East Sea Dragon Palace, so regardless of whether the intruder was the Deposed Royal Heir of the Dragon Clan, they did not welcome him.

"East Sea Dragon Palace, Ao Qin'er——"

Ao Thirteen completely ignored the threats and questioning from the shrimp soldiers and crab generals. His gaze was fixed on the plaque of the East Sea Dragon Palace, memories flooding back.

These memories did not belong to him but to the Deposed Royal Heir of the Dragon Clan himself. In those memories, Ao Qin'er was so proud, so beautiful, so enchanting that even Ao Thirteen, after reviewing these memories, found this Dragon Clan beauty truly worthy of admiration.

"Who dares to intrude upon my East Sea Dragon Palace!"

Just as Ao Thirteen was immersed in memories, several powerful auras consecutively emanated from within the East Sea Dragon Palace.

Before their voices had even fallen, three figures appeared before the gate.

These were three elders of the East Sea Dragon Palace, the three strongest remaining there, each of them at the early stage of Saint Stage.

"It's actually you, you beast!"

"Beast! How did you escape from the Deep Sea Prison!"

The Dragon Clan elders immediately recognized Ao Thirteen and noticed the dark aura emanating from him. However, they didn't have time to ponder the reasons. They chose to act immediately.

The Deposed Royal Heir of the Dragon Clan had always been a stain that the East Sea Dragon Palace least wanted to mention. This was especially so because of the harm he caused to Ao Qin'er, whose whereabouts remained unknown to this day. To escape from the Deep Sea Prison without permission was unforgivable.

"You old bastards are too noisy!"

Interrupted by the three Dragon Clan elders calling him a beast, Ao Thirteen's eyes turned cold. He gently spread open his arms.

Next moment, terrifying black evil creatures surged out from behind him.

"What are these things?"

At the entrance, whether it was the shrimp soldiers and crab generals or the Dragon Clan elders, they were all witnessing these evil creatures for the first time, each one shocked and pale-faced. It wasn't the creatures' strength that frightened them, but rather the sheer number of them.

However!

Before they could gather their wits, Ao Thirteen had already taken action. He directly transformed into a black dragon covered in tentacles, surrounded by a domain of dark evil aura, and lunged towards the three Dragon Clan elders.

During his time in the Deep Sea Prison, where he had devoured those from the Flood Snake Clan, his strength had already recovered to the level of Imperial Realm. With his Imperial Realm strength, dealing with the three Dragon Clan elders was simply too easy.

Under the terrorizing evil aura, the three Dragon Clan elders had no resistance at all and were directly devoured by Ao Thirteen. They provided Ao Thirteen with a considerable amount of energy.

Ao Thirteen continued his rampage all the way to the Crystal Palace, where he sat upon the Dragon Sovereign's throne.

According to the memories of the Deposed Royal Heir of the Dragon Clan, he found the Dragon Sovereign Order. Without hesitation, he activated it.

The Dragon Sovereign Order instantly transformed into a golden light and dispersed in all directions. He aimed to gather the Myriad Clans of East Sea, devouring all the clans to restore his own strength!

...

"Dragon Sovereign Order!"

"It's a summons from the Dragon Sovereign!"

"I heard that the Dragon Sovereign is searching for the Dragon Clan Princess in the Demon Realm's Immortal Desolation Cliff. Why would he issue the Dragon Sovereign Order now? Has something big happened?"

As soon as the Dragon Sovereign Order was issued, all the clans of the Myriad Clans of East Sea sensed it. Once they sensed the Dragon Sovereign Order, they had no choice but to gather at the East Sea Dragon Palace.

Even if they had doubts in their hearts, they had to comply.

The leaders of various Ocean Clans quickly arranged matters within their clans and led their subordinates to rush towards the East Sea Dragon Palace.

"It's happening!"

"My son has succeeded!"

Watching the golden light over the sea, the chief of the Flood Snake Clan was overjoyed. This was exactly as planned before—to rescue the Deposed Royal Heir of the Dragon Clan, coerce him back to the East Sea Dragon Palace, and issue the Dragon Sovereign Order.

There was just one thing he was puzzled about: why didn't his son and his strategist contact him before they acted?

"Perhaps time was pressing, and there was no time to send a message..."

The chief of the Flood Snake Clan thought to himself, leading a group of Flood Snake Clan warriors to prepare to head to the East Sea Dragon Palace.

...

At the same time, a celestial boat descended on the shore of the East Sea.

On the celestial boat, Gu Lan was explaining the construction of the Boundary Formation to a group of Demon Clan masters. The Demon Clan masters listened attentively, some even taking notes, and others directly took out shadow-carving stones to record Gu Lan's words. In the future, if there were any areas they didn't understand, they could review them again.

Seeing such eager-to-learn students, Gu Lan felt somewhat gratified.

These Demon Clan masters were not simply gifted; their diligence and focus were the keys to their achievements. Initially, Gu Lan had intended to deceive these Demon Clan masters into contributing to the construction of Jing Nation, but now he held nothing back.

After listening to his explanation, many Demon Clan formation masters gained new insights.

"Hmm?"

At some point, Gu Lan seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up, gazing towards the surging and dark East Sea below...
