Chapter 256: Through Thousands of Mountains and Rivers, The Universe's Milky Way ( Requesting Monthly Votes )
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
Gongsun Wu saw Yu Yuan Weng suddenly attack the Empress of the East. She immediately drew her sword, but before Gongsun Wu could come to her rescue, she saw Yu Yuan Weng's fist stop in its tracks.
"Can you calm down and listen to me for a moment?"
A delicate finger gently tapped on the fist that blotted out the sun. The Empress of the East did not use any Authority or Power of Law; she simply made this gesture and effortlessly blocked Yu Yuan Weng's fist that could shatter anything, preventing it from advancing an inch.
"I would never lower myself to associate with beasts like you!"
"Bang!"
A figure was sent flying from the deck, not even getting a clear look at what Ying Muyao did before crashing fiercely onto a distant island.
In an instant, the island shattered, and an island with a radius of tens of miles collapsed and sunk under Gongsun Wu's gaze.
"Empress Your Majesty?"
Gongsun Wu looked at Ying Muyao in astonishment. Even Yu Yuan Weng was too slow to react, let alone her.
It was too fast, so fast that one couldn't even use the word 'fast' to describe it.
Yet this was just a casual strike from the Empress of the East, like flicking away an ant that had landed on a piece of paper, so casual and nonchalant.
"My temper is not good."
She raised her hand, then put it down, the woman clad in black standing with her hands behind her back, toying with a fan in her hands: "But I'm still willing to repeat myself."
"Just who do you think I am?"
Ying Muyao stared at the shattered island and the figure, with a lofty and disdainful look: "Old Yu Yuan!"
"Rumble!!!"
An immense pressure sloped down from the unseen, fiercely bursting upon the body of Yu Yuan Weng who had just managed to rise, and under the gaze of the Empress of the East, the towering giant was forcefully suppressed in place.
Just with a glance, she suppressed a being of at least Legendary Level.
"Four Gods of Dahuang, you're not worthy of speaking to me," Ying Muyao's gaze was slightly cold, with a hint of murderous intent: "Even Duke Li wouldn't dare be so presumptuous in my presence!"
The spatial seal that surrounded them now returned to calm, the shattered islands cracked open, countless boulders fell into the sea, creating towering waves.
"Empress of the East!!!"
The eyes of Yu Yuan Weng became increasingly fierce and bloodthirsty. The Four Gods of Zhuxia were not easy to deal with, especially Yu Yuan Weng, who had reached the Four Awakenings. He not only possessed the Liberation of the fourth stage but also grew stronger as the battle continued.
The longer the delay, the more terrifying Yu Yuan Weng would become, eventually even being able to barely fight the true Mirage Entity.
"Wearing someone else's skin, your so-called nobility is sickening!!!"
"Roar!!!"
Yu Yuan Weng punched the ground and then, fighting against Ying Muyao's pressure, slowly rose to his feet. His aura kept climbing, almost entering the Liberation of the Miracle Entity.
"Your Majesty!"
Gongsun Wu was very angry. She wanted to intervene but was stopped by Ying Muyao: "You are no match for him; let me handle this."
"But!"
"I'll handle it."
Ying Muyao repeated calmly, and Gongsun Wu, who knew her personality well, understood that the Empress of the East hated answering the same question twice!
"Yes!"
Gongsun Wu bowed her head and obediently retreated behind the Empress of the East.
"I don't want to kill you, Yu Yuan Weng."
Although Ying Muyao had struck Yu Yuan Weng, it was merely a punishment.
In fact, she didn't dislike Yu Yuan Weng, and deep down, she was even somewhat pleased because the reason for Yu Yuan Weng's fury was her in the first place.
But such things, Ying Muyao could not let too many people know.
"So what you're saying is," Yu Yuan Weng: "you could kill me at any moment?!"
Yu Yuan Weng was not a Child of Miracle; he was a part of the Miracle Entity, an extension rather than a derivation, similar to the relationship of The Lu Wei Family of five.
The Infinite Miracle Power, which even if killed could resurrect endlessly, was also possessed by Yu Yuan Weng.
Not only that, unlike The Lu Wei Family, the Miracle Powers of the Four Gods of Dahuang had no limits, each one was like the Miracle Entity itself.
"As an opponent, you're not worthy, but you could be somewhat pleasing to me."
"Very well, I'll indulge you in a little game."
Ying Muyao left one hand behind her and casually tossed the fan to Gongsun Wu. Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire
She was dressed in men's clothing, with her black hair tied up. Unlike those awkward cross-dressers, the Empress of the East never hid her femininity, immediately recognizable as a woman to anyone who saw her.
Yet, Ying Muyao was too noble.
That wasn't just handsomeness, nor was it valor, but the natural aura of a king, the majesty of an emperor.
Even the most beautiful women would be fascinated by her aura, irrespective of gender, feeling only admiration, worship, and deep infatuation.
As for the heroes of the world, in the presence of the Empress of the East, no matter who they were and how bold their ambitions were, at this moment, they would have only one thought — I am inferior!
"Don't play these tricks with me!"
Yu Yuan Weng shook his head to clear the thoughts: "I am not one of those Children of Miracle; your power cannot bewilder me."
"If one can't even overcome this obstacle, such a mediocre person doesn't even deserve to stand before me."
Ying Muyao didn't care that Yu Yuan Weng could ignore the 'I am inferior': "But compared to them, I will give you a second mountain that's difficult to cross—touching me."
"To let a speck of dust settle on the hem of my garment."
"To sever a strand of my hair."
"Or even to force me to take half a step back."
"If you can accomplish that," Ying Muyao said as the space around her rapidly changed: "I shall indeed regard you with new eyes, Old Yu Yuan."
With that said, Ying Muyao sat upon a throne carved from jade and gold that had appeared from nowhere.
The stars above shone with a brilliant, dreamlike glow, mist swirled around, and the Coiling Dragon Golden Pillars pierced the primordial universe, standing tall and reaching for the skies.
