Watching the terrifying scene on the light screen, Qin Yu’s expression changed suddenly. This level of power was far beyond what he could handle directly.
However, with the Lifebound Space, he was not affected in the slightest.
"How dare you be so impudent before me! You must be tired of living!"
Empress Dowager’s tone carried a rare touch of supremacy, and with a slight frown, her surroundings suddenly bloomed with gentle yet dazzling silvery light, like a bright moon rising, instantly illuminating the area as if it were daytime. The silver light flowed, condensing into a barrier thin as cicada wings yet indestructible, suspended before her.
The gluttonous devouring force surged with the power to destroy the world, sweeping forward, yet upon touching the Moonlight Barrier, it seemed to meet an invisible barrier. The barrier shimmered softly, like ripples on water, skillfully dissolving the terrifying force into nothing.
"Go!"
At that moment, Empress Dowager’s red lips parted slightly, and an indescribable nobility and calm emanated from her.
"Swish—"
She slowly raised her hand, her fingertip trembling as if resonating with heaven and earth. In that instant, a crescent moon leisurely floated from her palm, like a meteor, instantly slicing through the void to appear before the hungry beast.
The Moonlight Power poured forth, the black mist on the gluttonous beast emitted a sizzling sound, seemingly being purified, as wisps of green smoke rose.
Suddenly, a gray beam shot out from the side, directly aiming at Empress Dowager’s side.
"Impudent!"
Empress’s eyes turned cold, fury surging as she struck out with unstoppable might. In an instant, the vast power of Dao Rhyme surged like a tide, extinguishing it forcibly, and then continued to strike towards the distance.
"Boom!"
A deafening roar tore through the sky, accompanied by the rumble, as a giant creature’s shadow slowly gathered on the distant horizon, revealing its true form.
Apparently, the Half-Venerable Ruins Beast hiding in the shadows, feeling the crisis, could no longer restrain itself.
It seemed to know that once the gluttonous beast was dealt with, it alone could never devour the two figures before it.
"Your Majesty, let me handle this ugly creature."
Empress Dowager glanced at the distance, still sounding relaxed.
"You, be careful."
Seeing this, Empress nodded slightly.
Empress Dowager’s strength was on par with that of the gluttonous beast. Most importantly, as a mystical creature, she held suppressed power in her bloodline. Dealing with it should be effortless.
The distant Ruins Beast must be dealt with quickly to prevent a sneak attack from the shadows.
"Whoosh!"
The Empress moved, carrying terrifying pressure towards the distant Half-Venerable Ruins Beast.
At this moment, the gluttonous beast was utterly enraged, its size expanding again, the powerful black energy around it condensing into solid armor covering its body.
From afar, it resembled an unparalleled fierce beast, full of malevolence, extremely terrifying.
Seeing the Empress departing, the gluttonous beast realized this was the only chance, and it was imperative to quickly devour the creature before it, which gave it intense pressure on the bloodline.
The mystical creature before it, although not as enticing as the human from the beginning, the gluttonous beast sensed that simply devouring her would allow it to advance further!
"Roar—!"
The gluttonous beast roared furiously, snapping the radiant moonlight with a bite, its sharp claws tearing through the space constraints like an evil dragon reaching out, directly targeting the moonlight-constructed barrier.
Instantly, both battlefields were plunged into fierce combat. The four Half-Venerable level entities, each clash, caused the void to tremble violently, as if unable to withstand the immense power and might collapse completely at any moment.
The Empress wielded the Thunder and Gold Origin Power, her attacks vast and unparalleled. Each offensive was like lightning tearing through the sky, precisely leaving terrifying wounds on the half-venerable Ruins Beast.
Although Empress Dowager’s attacks were not as grand as the Empress’s, the Moonlight Power was extremely miraculous, seemingly having an innate suppression against the gluttonous beast.
Whenever the radiant moonlight flowed down like water, it could purify some of the black energy on the gluttonous beast.
The originally fierce gluttonous beast, now covered in rising green smoke, its scarlet eyes filled with hatred and reluctance, seemed eager to annihilate the mystical creature immediately. However, every powerful attack it launched became sluggish and feeble under the moonlight, repeatedly frustrated.
If not for the gluttonous beast’s superior strength, it might have already succumbed to the moonlight’s purification.
"Empress Dowager is actually this strong?"
Qin Yu exclaimed.
Upon first meeting, Empress Dowager casually annihilated the Black Soul Hall’s black-robed figure. Back then, he didn’t fully perceive Empress Dowager’s power.
But now, witnessing Empress Dowager casually releasing Moonlight Power, carrying a force capable of shaking space, he finally understood why even someone as rugged as Lingtian Peak would show such reverence when mentioning Empress Dowager’s name.
Reflecting now, Empress Dowager seemed to be close and kind only in the presence of the Empress, Little Ling’Er, and himself.
Throughout the Imperial Capital, any giant force’s magnate, when mentioning Empress Dowager’s name, none lacked reverence, even like facing the Empress, not daring to look directly.
Nearby, Tu Yaoyao’s beautiful eyes flashed with seriousness.
Is the mystical creature really not yet in adulthood?
This strength is already equal to hers!
However, recalling her innocent and sometimes naive side, it seemingly proved the Empress Dowager of Great Yan was indeed only in her juvenile stage.
It’s unimaginable what strength the mystical creature would have upon reaching adulthood.
Could it be... comparable to a Venerable?
Thinking of this, Tu Yaoyao had a strong impulse.
No, she must confront her directly before the mystical creature matures, to cleanse her of unjust accusations!
In the future, when there’s no winning, you truly won’t be able to argue your way out.
"So childish. If my bloodline power were more pure, becoming a Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, I could suppress it with a flick of the hand."
Tu Yaoyao looked at the battlefield outside the light screen and gently quipped.
Obviously constrained, the Empress Dowager has been dealing with Taosha for so long and still can’t resolve it, truly wasting her moonlight.
However, the auspicious beast is still in its infancy and probably hasn’t experienced many battles. In her and the Empress’s eyes, its combat methods inevitably appear a bit naive.
If not for her bloodline power being insufficient to suppress Taosha, Tu Yaoyao truly wanted to prove to Qin Yu what it means to be strong.
"Damn!"
The Empress Dowager couldn’t conquer Taosha, and a trace of irritation appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.
"Buzz..."
As the Empress Dowager slightly raised her jade hand, the light in the entire world dimmed. At the same time, unprecedented brilliance bloomed from her palm, with a pure moonlight power coagulating in her palm.
"Roar!"
Taosha’s pupils shrank. A sense of extreme danger surged from its heart, its claws trembling restlessly, instinctively wanting to turn and flee.
"Whizz!"
However, before Taosha could make a decision, a silver beam descended from the sky, like divine punishment, ruthlessly blasting on its massive body.
"Oww!"
Taosha let out a piercing wail, its armor shattered inch by inch, and its enormous body was scorched with countless cracks by the moonlight power.
"Bind!"
The Empress Dowager shouted, the moonlight power transformed into chains, binding it tightly.
No matter how Taosha struggled, it couldn’t break free.
At that moment, Qin Yu seemed to understand the bloodline power that Tu Yaoyao talked about.
He could sense that Taosha’s aura was somewhat stronger than the Empress Dowager’s, but she remained in absolute advantage, and under this moonlight power, Taosha seemed unable to retaliate.
Is this the suppression of bloodline power?
Tu Yaoyao’s mouth twitched.
The auspicious beast’s battle method is indeed unique!
It completely relies on the strength of bloodline power to suppress the opponent, without any skill.
No, I must confront the Empress Dowager face to face as soon as possible.
With her crude way of fighting, unless she uses bloodline power for suppression, Tu Yaoyao is confident to have the upper hand.
"Tch, that’s the fate of anything daring to insult His Majesty!"
The Empress Dowager’s silver hair gently fluttered, like a goddess under the moon, filled with an inviolable sacred purity.
Following her will, the moonlight power tightened further, winding around Taosha. Wisps of green smoke rose from its body, accompanied by foul-smelling blood droplets sliding down and corroding the earth, leaving behind shocking deep marks.
Within moments, Taosha’s struggle became weaker and its aura nearly extinguished, as if about to collapse.
"Execute!"
The Empress Dowager coldly uttered the word, her figure instantly transformed into dazzling moonlight, rapidly ascending with her palm gathering a surging power, ready to strike.
She greatly disliked the aura on this Ruins Beast, already impatient to completely purify it.
"You idiot!"
Tu Yaoyao’s pupils shrank, she shouted lowly and immediately called to Qin Yu: "Quick, warn her!"
Taosha, with its ancient ferocious beast bloodline, isn’t so easily purified!
Taosha’s ferocity is embedded in its bloodline!
Anyone with some battle experience can see at a glance it’s pretending to be weak.
The auspicious beast’s battle technique isn’t effective, but if she can calm down and use bloodline power for suppression, it would only take a bit more time before she’d solve it.
Yet, she’s so naive to expose her weakness to Taosha!
Even a wild beast, in the face of life and death, will fight desperately, let alone Taosha with ancient ferocious beast bloodline?
"Empress Dowager, be careful!"
Qin Yu didn’t pause to think before urgently shouting.
"Eh, Qin Yu?"
A look of surprise flickered in the Empress Dowager’s beautiful eyes.
Why did he warn me to be careful?
Does he think I can’t handle this troublesome Ruins Beast?
"Buzz!..."
The light chains of moonlight power were like a sky net, tightly entangled around Taosha, stripping off its overwhelming ferocious aura bit by bit, with its massive body beginning to collapse.
