My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

The extraterrestrial entities barely had time to react before they saw Xieyi's black eye expand, resembling a black hole vortex, devouring the entire space around them.

"No, boss!"

"Boss, you can't swallow us! We're still useful!"

In the terrified cries of the extraterrestrial entities, they had no power to resist as they were completely consumed by the darkness. With all the extraterrestrial entities devoured, Xieyi's black eye grew even deeper, while the golden eye beside it flickered with light, causing the black eye to dim again.

"Pure Dark Rule Power can resist Light Rule Power!"

"Hmph!"

"Darkness will always remain in darkness, hiding in the abyss, never daring to face the light."

Xieyi raised his head, his golden eye filled with murderous intent as he looked toward the direction of Jing Nation.

"Gu Lan, today is the day you die!"

With that, black and gold wings—twelve in total—emerged from his back, looking just like a twelve-winged angel.

…

Above Tianqiong Mountain, Gu Lan walked amidst a sea of divine light, with lotus flowers blooming at each step. With every step he took, another figure would appear behind him, along with countless visions. These visions were the reflections of his experiences across the Six Realms, filled with his insights and realizations.

He witnessed beings struggling to survive, high-ranking cultivators in their pursuits—fleeting like illusions before him. Despite the overwhelming memories and emotions, Gu Lan remained calm, understanding that clarity of self was essential to cutting through the self.

He walked to the edge of heaven, where the fierce winds of the Nine Heavens met boundless void. Behind him, the lotus flowers and his manifested figures vanished, forming a massive lotus throne. Sitting cross-legged on the throne, his form split into two, then into three, and continued infinitely.

"Oh my heavens!"

"Bro Gu, what kind of technique is this? Why does it seem like each of these clones has the strength of his true body?"

From a distance, Qin Huangmo watched the strange phenomenon in the sky. Despite having reminded himself countless times not to regard Gu Lan as an ordinary person, seeing this still stirred waves in his heart.

Many Divine Realm experts from the Immortal Realm, who had received favors from the Nine Heavens Alliance, had also come to guard him. They did not fully understand why Gu Lan chose to comprehend and break through in the Lower Realm, yet they knew the Earthly Realm's defensive formation was extraordinary, making it indeed a safer choice.

"This human world has quite a destiny to produce such a prodigy. Truly blessed."

"Even the Snow Clan Saintess has entrusted the clan's heritage to this realm. Perhaps this is all in line with the former Snow Clan Divine King's guidance—destiny indeed has its course."

"I wonder to what extent the Divine Son of the Bright Clan has recovered. If he emerges now, can we stop him?"

The experts of major Immortal Realm forces communicated secretly, including Divine Realm elders from the Thunder Clan and Ghost Clan. They were here not only out of gratitude but also for self-preservation. Though the Bright Clan currently lay low, they were merely regaining strength, not defeated entirely.

"I heard the Bright Clan Divine Son recently sacrificed most of the destiny his clan has been gathering and has fully recovered his strength. He's currently advancing toward the peak of the God Realm!"

"What! Peak of the God Realm? Who in the Six Realms could stand against him?"

Upon hearing this news, everyone looked towards Gu Lan, their eyes filled with complex emotions. To think that the numerous forces of the Immortal Realm's Nine Heavens would one day pin their hopes on a Lower Realm powerhouse.

The speaker was the Grand Elder of the Ghost Clan, at mid-God Realm. His cultivation and status gave no reason for deceit. Moreover, the Ghost Clan had recently been encircled by the Bright Clan, only repelled by Lanyan Royal School's assistance. In recent years, the Ghost Clan had developed a close alliance with Lanyan Royal School and wouldn't lie about this.

"If the Bright Clan Divine Son does not arrive, then Gu Lan's breakthrough may proceed without major setbacks," someone commented confidently. "With the Bright Clan's Grand Elder still suppressed beneath the Five Elements Mountain, and their remaining elders either dead or wounded, not to mention the angel army unable to descend, no one in the Six Realms can pass this line."

Just as the Divine Realm expert spoke, the sky suddenly darkened.

"Unexpectedly, so many of you from the Immortal Realm came together. You all are truly united!"

The bright sky turned dark, and a chilling voice resounded in the ears of every Divine Realm expert present.

Darkness descended—the darkest of all darkness!

"It's the Dark Rule Power!"

"This is bad; it's the extraterrestrial entities!"

A Divine Realm expert from the Demon Realm quickly raised a cyan oil lamp. The lamp emitted a mysterious power, partially dispelling the darkness.

"Everyone, be on guard! The Dark Rule Power not only blinds our sight but also clouds our minds, an insidious force. Any extraterrestrial entities controlling such power are among the strongest—don't take this lightly."

Though extraterrestrial entities had invaded the Immortal Realm, they had long targeted the Demon Realm. The Immortal Realm had focused on battling the Bright Clan and knew comparatively little about these entities.

"Hmph! Mere evil beings dare to act so arrogant!"

"Witness my Crimson Sky Divine Fire!"

An expert from the Immortal Realm, wielding the power of divine fire, confidently released his flames towards a distant shadow. But, just as he believed he would easily destroy the creature, the shadow surged forward, plunging directly into his flames.

In the blink of an eye, the shadow pierced through the divine fire and arrived in front of him.

"No, it's not an extraterrestrial entity; it's—"

The Divine Realm expert, wielder of the divine fire, could barely speak before a massive black hand pierced his chest, destroying both his body and soul.

In the midst of the boundless darkness, only a faint cyan light remained, illuminating the terrifying form of the shadow, striking fear into everyone's hearts.
