“Ten! Thousand! Swords! Return! To! The Origin!!”
As soon as Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin was unleashed, countless sword intents condensed within the Fire Prison.
Then, like a divine punishment, they hammered the entire Fire Prison.
In just an instant, the whole Fire Prison was reduced to ruins.
All the buildings were completely destroyed in the blink of an eye.
Many of the cultivators there were slaughtered on the spot.
Those who had spewed filthy language didn’t even last a single sword strike; they were killed right away.
But the Divine Dragon Empress acted as if she wasn’t willing to let them off, tearing their bodies into pieces.
After five breaths, the sword intent within the Fire Prison vanished.
Along with it, the vast majority of the cultivators in the Fire Prison also disappeared.
Except for a few Sovereign Realm experts who had hidden extremely deep, there were no survivors.
And every single one of these Sovereign Realm experts looked at the Divine Dragon Empress with utter shock.
These people had all been in seclusion for a long time.
They hadn’t heard the legends about the Divine Dragon Empress.
But the moment she made her move, they already felt how formidable she was.
The way they looked at the Divine Dragon Empress was filled with fear.
“Our… our Fire Prison clearly never provoked you. Why did you have to destroy us?!”
“I told you, this place already belongs to us!”
“Then… then we’ll leave! We’ll just leave!!”
Although these Sovereign Realm experts had higher cultivation bases than the Divine Dragon Empress,
they sensed an incredibly intense threat coming from her.
So, they backed down. They were unwilling to fight her.
However, this kind of conflict wasn’t something they could end just by backing down.
Not to mention, the Divine Dragon Empress had no intention of letting these people go.
Just as these surviving Sovereign Realm experts were about to leave, the Divine Dragon Empress spoke again.
“I didn’t say you could leave.”
“Huh? You… you still won’t let us go, even like this?!”
They clearly sensed killing intent from the Divine Dragon Empress.
And because of that, they found it unbelievable.
They had thought that if they retreated, she would spare them.
But they never expected that she had no such plan at all; instead, she seemed even more intent on killing them.
Once they were certain of the killing intent radiating from the Divine Dragon Empress, the eyes of these cultivators turned noticeably fierce.
After all, they were never good-natured people to begin with. The Fire Prison itself was built by this very group of Sovereign Realm experts.
Now that the Divine Dragon Empress had pushed them this far, they had no way out.
And because of that, they didn’t hesitate. They exchanged glances, then immediately attacked the Divine Dragon Empress.
“Since there’s no room for negotiation, then die!!”
At this point, the Divine Dragon Empress still hadn’t used the power of the Divine Dragon Human Emperor Seal. Because of that, her strength hadn’t yet risen to the level of an Invincible Supreme.
And that was precisely why those Sovereign Realm experts dared to fight back.
Of course, there was another, even more important reason for their resistance: Ye Wushuang was standing right beside the Divine Dragon Empress.
Ye Wushuang’s cultivation base was very obvious in front of these Sovereign Realm experts.
They could tell at a glance that he was only a Immortal King Realm cultivator.
A cultivator like that could be considered powerful in front of others.
For someone his age to have reached the Immortal King Realm, he could even be called a peerless genius.
But, the Immortal King Realm is still the Immortal King Realm. No matter how much potential he had, he couldn’t possibly be a match for a Sovereign Realm expert.
So, one of them headed straight for Ye Wushuang.
They wanted to capture him and use him to threaten the Divine Dragon Empress.
The moment they moved, both the Divine Dragon Empress and Ye Wushuang saw through their plan.
The Divine Dragon Empress didn’t panic, and Ye Wushuang reacted immediately.
He softly uttered a phrase that only the Divine Dragon Empress could hear.
“Character ‘All’ Secret!!”
As soon as the words “Character ‘All’ Secret” left his mouth, the aura around Ye Wushuang surged tenfold, becoming comparable to the Divine Dragon Empress’s current momentum.
Seeing Ye Wushuang with such overwhelming power, the Sovereign Realm expert charging toward him suddenly hesitated.
He was afraid that Ye Wushuang might also possess combat strength as terrifying as the Divine Dragon Empress’s.
If that were the case, facing Ye Wushuang alone would likely mean death at his hands.
So, in that moment of hesitation, fear crept in.
But the arrow was already nocked on the string; it had to be loosed.
So, he gritted his teeth, suppressed the fear in his heart, and continued his charge toward Ye Wushuang.
In his hand, he was brewing an incredibly powerful attack.
This attack was strong enough to severely injure a Sovereign Realm expert.
He believed that if this attack landed, it would absolutely shatter Ye Wushuang into pieces.
However, Ye Wushuang faced this attack with complete composure and not a trace of panic.
He waited until the man was almost upon him, then gently swung his sword.
This strike, though not delivered with the full power of a Sovereign Realm expert, contained Ye Wushuang’s supreme sword path.
As this sword path emerged, the Sovereign Realm expert rushing toward him was stunned.
It was as if he saw a small, weak child cutting down a ten-thousand-zhang sword beam toward him.
And even though he was the adult, he was utterly powerless to resist that ten-thousand-zhang sword beam.
Thus, in the next moment, this Sovereign Realm expert was cleaved cleanly in two.
The other Sovereign Realm experts hadn’t yet reached the Divine Dragon Empress, so they all witnessed the gruesome fate of the one who died by Ye Wushuang’s hand.
At that moment, every single one of them shuddered.
“Th-this… how is this possible?!”
“His swordsmanship… why is his swordsmanship so terrifying?!”
“One sword… he used just one sword to kill a Sovereign Realm expert? Could he be even stronger than this female cultivator? We… what do we do?!”
Ye Wushuang had killed a Sovereign Realm expert with a single sword strike, obliterating both body and soul.
For the other Sovereign Realm experts, this was a tremendous shock.
And because of that, they didn’t even know if they should continue their attack on the Divine Dragon Empress.
Even if they did manage to defeat her, what then?
Given Ye Wushuang’s power, they probably couldn’t withstand a single one of his sword strikes either!
So, they wanted to run.
But thinking about running at this point was clearly far too late.
The next moment, the Divine Dragon Empress also struck with her sword.
While her move wasn’t as effortless and elegant as Ye Wushuang’s, its power was still not to be underestimated.
Because it was enormous, stretching ten thousand zhangs in length.
