My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

"Divine Son Arthur!"

As soon as everyone recognized the man's appearance, they instinctively retreated. Only one Immortal Realm expert, with eyes brimming with boundless hatred, shouted, "Don't be afraid, everyone. He's not Arthur—he's Xieyi, the leader of the extraterrestrial entities!"

"This is the one who lurked in the endless abyss of Zhongtian World, killing so many of my dearest friends, family, and brothers! Even if I die today, for the beings of the Six Realms, I must detain him!"

"Fellow cultivators, assist me!"

This speaker was a Main God Realm expert from Zhongtian World, invited to the mortal realm by the Demon King of No Start. Renowned in Zhongtian World, he once lived freely, enjoying life—until the extraterrestrial entities invaded, robbing him of everything. For the past decade, he had been busy hunting down the dark creatures. If not for the help of the Demon King of No Start, he wouldn't have come to the mortal realm in the first place. He cared little whether the Lanyan Royal School's master could save the Six Realms; he only cared about killing another dark creature today.

Now, seeing Xieyi, the leader of the extraterrestrial entities, he naturally was filled with a murderous intent.

"Die, foul creature!"

The expert's hands crackled with dazzling golden lightning—the legendary Thunder of Exorcism. Although dark energy rules were powerful, they weren't invincible. Besides the counteracting light rule, the thunder rule also restrained it to some extent. The Thunder of Exorcism not only contained the thunder rule but also the light rule, making it highly effective against extraterrestrial entities. This thunder had enabled the expert to survive in Zhongtian World, even when surrounded by extraterrestrial entities.

"A technique like this… not bad. But it's unfortunate you've encountered me."

Xieyi's golden eyes showed a hint of mockery. He didn't dodge as the Thunder of Exorcism struck straight toward him.

Boom!

An explosion of golden lightning illuminated the dark world, lighting up the entire sky. Numerous Divine Realm experts who witnessed it couldn't help but gasp.

"What the—!"

"There's actually an Immortal Realm expert of this caliber. Why have I never heard of him? Is he from the Thunder Clan?"

As the crowd exclaimed, the expert who wielded the Thunder of Exorcism frowned. He had fought Xieyi before and sensed that his thunder had previously made the opponent wary. Yet, this time, Xieyi hadn't dodged—was he relying on something?

"No matter what your reliance is, I'll break it with my thunder!"

Without waiting for the effects of the first strike to subside, the expert sent another wave of Thunder of Exorcism crashing down. The lightning illuminated the mortal realm once more, causing the Jing Nation's protective array to glow. Even civilians, watching the celestial battle, grew accustomed to the sight. Some took advantage of the light to gather their belongings.

Within Lanyan Royal School, instructors led students to watch the battle. Although they couldn't closely sense the various powers within, observing from afar could still broaden their horizons.

"Your Majesty, we've received reports of suspected dark creature invasions at the border. I've already sent for the masters from the Royal School to assist…"

Outside the Jing Nation royal family's secret place, Liu Yexi reported the routine matters to Mu Yuyan, who had been in closed-door cultivation for years, only emerging when absolutely necessary. Now that Gu Lan had broken through, Mu Yuyan had naturally exited her seclusion.

Listening to Liu Yexi's report, she quietly handed him a token.

"This token can mobilize all Jing Nation forces. Hold it carefully. Should the need arise, you may use it to deploy the army and crush all who threaten us."

"Your Majesty! Has it really come to such a dire situation?" Liu Yexi was shocked; he had never seen Mu Yuyan so serious.

Mu Yuyan shook her head.

"When it concerns my beloved, it is the greatest matter under heaven. Before, my beloved shouldered the burden of protecting me. Now, it's my turn to ease his worries!"

After speaking, her imperial robes transformed, the Icy Phoenix Hairpin on her head gleaming a brilliant blue. An icy phoenix appeared above Jing Nation's palace. She lightly stepped onto the phoenix and soared into the boundless dark sky.

Boom!

The thunder exploded again. The Main God Realm expert from Zhongtian World had unleashed ten strikes of Thunder of Exorcism, leaving the spectators stunned. Had they been within range, they would have been obliterated.

"That extraterrestrial entity must have been reduced to ashes, right?"

"Thunder of Exorcism is the most effective technique against dark creatures. If it can't kill this creature, who among us can?"

The onlookers watched as they cast protective spells around themselves, fearing another sneak attack from behind. Extraterrestrial entities often instilled fear—not from direct confrontation, but through possession of loved ones, then stabbing one in the back. The Zhongtian World expert had lost all his loved ones to such deception, hence his fury.

"Wait, something's wrong!"

"The dark aura around him is weakening, but his own power hasn't diminished!"

"No, his aura hasn't weakened—it's getting stronger!"

Realizing something was amiss, the expert's eyes widened in horror.

"You just now realized? It may be too late!"

"That Gu Lan has mastered a new technique, and I don't yet have complete assurance of surpassing him. Therefore, I must borrow your powers and divine souls to help me slay a formidable foe."

Amidst the thunder, a figure emerged—a figure with twelve black-and-gold wings, one eye shining with light, the other with darkness! Half-angel, half-demon!

The fusion of angel and demon—a terrifying sight, as light and darkness rarely coexisted. But now, this figure seemed to be melding the two forces, creating a frightening power.

More horrifying still, the man was absorbing the scattered Thunder of Exorcism from the air.

"That's the Bright Clan's power!"

"This creature—could he be a member of the Bright Clan who was infected by evil?"

Not only the Zhongtian World expert but all present were shaken to the core.

"Everyone, this being is strange! Attack together and don't let him grow stronger!"

With a mighty shout, the Grand Elder of the Ghost Clan transformed into a nether ghost, slashing with a blood-red scythe. The others no longer hesitated, unleashing their own powerful techniques.
