There was deathly silence in the imperial city.
The flames that shot up into the sky turned the night sky blood red. In the hall where the empress died, the water in the blood pool had fallen back into the pool and was ownerless.
Outside the hall, many practitioners who were fighting hard and trying to break through the formation to protect the emperor, all stopped.
Everyone looked at the eunuch Su Wen in confusion, not knowing what to do next.
The Empress is dead, so from now on...
At this moment, many people's eyes turned to the Sky Prison again.
He looked at Luo Jing, the descendant of Emperor Li, who was at the top of the Sky Prison.
After the death of the empress, the legendary descendant of the Emperor Li became the only heir to the throne in the world.
So will they continue to charge
It seems that this descendant of Emperor Li is in the same camp as King Zhenbei.
The empress passed away, and now it is time for the King of Zhenbei to support the descendants of Emperor Li to ascend to the throne.
If they continue to charge at this critical moment, the new emperor will definitely come after them when he ascends the throne...
Such concerns instantly emerged in everyone's mind.
Then, I don’t know who started it first.
Some people in the crowd put down their weapons and knelt down.
Then, starting with this person, a chain reaction was triggered. All the people who were originally charging at the target dropped their magic weapons and turned around to kneel down in the direction of the prison.
Luo Jing, who was standing on the top of the Sky Prison, looked around and saw that people in the entire imperial city suddenly fell to their knees.
The seventeen gods who had tried to strangle him before stopped after losing their divine power, and knelt in fear not far away, as if begging for Luo Jing's forgiveness.
The old monster Cang Yu, who had been standing nearby, watched the situation develop, scratched his head, and was a little confused.
"Die so quickly..."
This empress is such a waste!
You have reached the Great Perfection of the Taixu Realm!
Moreover, he possesses the secret technique of Taizu, and in terms of magical power, it can even be said that he is the strongest in the world and unmatched by anyone in the world.
But with such powerful magic power, such high level of cultivation, and holding the Jade Seal of the Divine Dynasty, he couldn't even withstand a single attack and was killed in an instant
Although Old Monster Cang Yu knew that the empress had been obsessed with political struggles for many years and had done very little practice, it was impossible for her to be killed instantly, right
This guy’s talent for power struggles is so top-notch, but his talent for combat is just a novice
The old monster looked guiltily at the eunuch Su Wen standing in the crowd and saw the dejected, desperate and collapsed expression on his old friend's face.
At this moment, Su Wen felt as if the sky had fallen and he seemed to have turned into a walking corpse.
Inside the hall, the situation was stable.
The empress died, the blood pool returned to calm, and everything came to an end.
Qiu Wuji looked at the white-haired young man and said with a smile: “Brother Shen, the next thing is what the prince promised you.”
According to the agreement between King Zhenbei and Shen Qingchen, once Empress Lu Zhao died, the power of the Taizu bloodline in the blood pool would be at Shen Qingchen's disposal.
But Shen Qingchen is not a descendant of Taizu, and cannot use the power of this bloodline to cross the Black Water River and reach the Heavenly Man Realm.
The only thing he could do was to use the power of this bloodline to build a floating bridge across the Black Water River, to lead out the remaining soul of his sister in the Taixu Fairyland and complete her spirit.
The reason why Shen Qingchen's sister could not be born in the world stably was because part of her soul was left in the Taixu Fairyland.
Now that he has come to the world, he relies on the power of his blood relative Shen Qingchen to maintain his anchor in the world.
But if the incomplete soul can be restored, Shen Qingxuan can be separated from Shen Qingchen, no longer need to absorb his brother's blood and vitality, and can return to normal human condition.
—At least that’s what Shen Qingchen said.
King Zhenbei outside the hall also spoke.
"Brother Shen, you can do what you want. Since I have promised you, I will not go back on my word."
The moment he witnessed the demise of the empress, the heavy stone in Lu Yu's heart finally settled down.
At this moment, he just felt relaxed all over.
The shadow that had been hanging over his head since the day he entered the Zhenbei Palace when he was a child finally dissipated.
He no longer had to fear fear.
Lu Yu, feeling relaxed, decided to fulfill his promise and hand over the blood pool to Shen Qingchen for use.
If the power of this blood pool falls into the hands of Taizu's descendants, it will open the road to immortality.
He had managed to kill one Lu Zhao with great difficulty, so how could he sit idly by and watch another Lu Zhao be born
No matter which new king ascends the throne in the future, it is best to clear the power of the blood pool before the new king ascends the throne.
Shen Qingchen, who happened to clear the blood pool, had an important relationship with the new monarch.
If the blood pool is used up to save Shen Qingxuan, I believe the new king will have no complaints when he ascends the throne.
Beside the blood pool, a woman in white looked at Shen Qingchen with a smile and said, "Brother, we finally succeeded..."
The woman had a gentle smile on her face.
Shen Qingchen also nodded, but his expression was as cold as ever.
He looked at the pool of blood in front of him, took a deep breath, and said, "Sister, I'll pick you up right away."
After saying that, Shen Qingchen activated the spiritual power in his body and transformed it into a special spell.
I saw the blood in the blood pool began to move again, and one talisman after another flashed with light and rose from the blood pool.
These talismans condensed from blood and water flashed continuously in the void.
As more and more talismans appeared, the space inside the hall began to tremble, and a strong sense of time and space dislocation could be felt even from a long distance away.
The leader of the Demonic Sect, Qiu Wuji, immediately left the hall, unwilling to stay any longer.
The Blackwater River was about to appear in the world. She naturally knew how terrible the river was and had no intention of getting close to it.
Finally, a vast and misty black river appeared in the void.
No one knows where this long black river originates from, and no one knows where it flows to. It seems to be very far away from everyone, yet it seems to be right in front of them.
An ancient and mysterious atmosphere surges over the river.
On the other side of the long black river is a vague and mysterious unknown, and no one can see its true appearance.
There was a sudden excitement in the imperial city.
"Blackwater River!"
"It's the legendary Black Water River!"
Not many people knew the secret of the Blackwater River, but when they saw this long black river, those who knew the secret became excited and could not calm down.
How could someone actually make this river materialize
"Uh... am I dazzled?" Above the Sky Prison, the old demon Cangyu rubbed his eyes, a little confused.
"Boy, can you help me check if there are four figures beside the Black Water River?"
The words of the old monster Cang Yu made Luo Jing stunned for a moment.
He also looked towards the mysterious black river. Sure enough, on the bank of the mysterious black river, he vaguely saw four mysterious black shadows standing with their backs to all living beings.
The four figures, like the Black Water River, seemed to be very far away from everyone, yet also seemed very close.
And vaguely seems... somewhat familiar
Luo Jing was confused.
Because although those four figures were only their backs, he really seemed to have seen them somewhere.
But how could there be people on the banks of the Blackwater River
This doesn't make sense!
