“Since you put it that way, I’ll give you an opportunity too. Hand over your resources, and I’ll withdraw my army right now.”
When the Divine Dragon Empress said this, she was especially serious—nothing at all like she was joking.
But to everyone else, her words sounded exactly like a joke.
Some even felt she was deliberately mocking them, which only fueled their anger.
“Stubborn fool!”
“Blackwater Army, hear my command—kill!”
“Charge!”
Upon receiving this order, the Blackwater Empire’s army didn’t hesitate for a moment. They gathered their overwhelming power and surged straight toward the Divine Dragon Empire’s forces.
The sheer force of their advance struck fear into everyone’s hearts.
The Divine Dragon Empire’s Divine Dragon Grand Array immediately shifted into full defensive mode.
Facing such a ferocious assault, they dared not hold anything back and poured all their strength into defense.
Yet even with everything they had, it was nearly impossible to withstand the hundred-million-strong Blackwater Army.
“Boom—!”
“Ah! Save me!”
“I don’t want to die! General, please help!”
“Ahhh! Why is their power this terrifying?!”
In an instant, the Divine Dragon Empire’s forces were engulfed by the Blackwater Army. That power, like an ocean of black water, claimed the lives of countless Divine Dragon soldiers in the blink of an eye.
The Divine Dragon Grand Array came dangerously close to being shattered by the Blackwater Grand Array.
What’s more, the Blackwater Grand Array attacked in relentless waves—their first strike was far from their strongest. Each subsequent wave would only hit harder.
The Divine Dragon Empire’s army had barely survived the first assault; facing what came next seemed almost impossible.
Watching this unfold, the Supreme Realm powerhouses of the Blackwater Empire laughed with unrestrained glee.
“Hahaha! Well, Divine Dragon Empress? Do you still think your Divine Dragon Empire can stand against us?”
“Here’s an offer: hand over your thirty great worlds, and we’ll let this slide.”
“Otherwise, both you and your precious empire will meet your end here today!”
Before the fighting began, the Blackwater Empire still harbored some caution toward the Divine Dragon Empress and her forces.
But now that swords were drawn, they realized the Divine Dragon Empire wasn’t all that impressive.
The only one truly worth fearing was the Divine Dragon Empress herself.
And yet here they were—thirty Supreme Realm powerhouses, backed by an immense Blackwater Legion. What could the Divine Dragon Empress possibly do against them?
Perhaps they couldn’t guarantee they’d kill her, but if she insisted on fighting, they were confident they could at least leave her badly wounded.
At this moment, the Divine Dragon Empress’s brows were tightly knit. She hadn’t expected things to turn out this way.
She had made some estimations of the Blackwater Empire’s strength.
In her projections, even if her army couldn’t defeat the Blackwater forces, they should at least be able to hold the line.
Not be rendered helpless like this, on the verge of collapse after just one strike.
Fortunately, the Divine Dragon Empress now was vastly different from the one before.
Having mastered the power of laws, she felt no fear even as the Blackwater Army pressed their advantage.
“Very well. It seems I’ll have to take the lead.”
With this thought, her aura surged boundlessly.
Then, she activated her Ancestral Dragon Scripture.
A colossal divine dragon materialized in the sky above.
Its mere appearance crushed down on everyone with overwhelming pressure.
The Blackwater Empire’s faces shifted instantly.
“Hiss—no wonder she’s the Divine Dragon Empress. Her strength really is extraordinary.”
“This presence is immense. One-on-one, we’d be no match for her. Fortunately, we have not only numerous Supreme Realm powerhouses but also our vast Blackwater Legion.”
“To think she’d still try to fight back under these circumstances. She really is utterly insane.”
In the eyes of the Blackwater Empire, the Divine Dragon Empress’s actions were nothing short of madness.
Yet this madness only made them laugh.
“No matter. One dragon to slay, two dragons to slay—today, we’ll just slaughter them both!”
“Blackwater Legion, hear my command! Fully activate the Blackwater Grand Array! Wipe them out!”
“Yes, sir!”
The Blackwater Legion sprang into action at once.
They gathered momentum, ready to unleash wave after wave of devastating attacks.
But just as their assault was about to be launched, the Divine Dragon Empress suddenly vanished from sight.
When she reappeared, she was standing right in the heart of the Blackwater Army.
The colossal divine dragon’s tail manifested and swept violently through their ranks.
With one mighty swing carrying unimaginable power, it struck countless Blackwater soldiers.
In an instant, millions of Blackwater Empire troops simply evaporated into nothing.
A vast empty space opened around the Divine Dragon Empress.
Those struck didn’t even leave behind corpses.
Then, she vanished once more—and reappeared elsewhere.
Again, she swung her tail with tremendous force.
This time, she didn’t rely solely on raw physical strength. She channeled devastating Dao techniques and divine powers.
One sweep. Tens of millions of soldiers—gone.
Even the many Immortal Emperors among them couldn’t withstand this single blow.
Perhaps even a Supreme Realm expert would struggle to survive it.
And crucially, the Blackwater soldiers had been completely unprepared.
Then, the Divine Dragon Empress vanished for the third time.
Panic erupted among the Blackwater Empire’s Supreme Realm powerhouses.
They never imagined the Divine Dragon Empress would plunge directly into their army—nor that her killing power would be this horrifying.
In mere moments, she had annihilated tens of millions of their troops.
At this rate, within just a few breaths, the entire Blackwater Legion would be obliterated by her alone.
The Supreme powerhouses shouted frantically:
“Defense! Everyone, All-out defend! Activate the barrier formations—don’t let the Divine Dragon Empress enter our formation!”
“Raise the defenses! Everyone, raise your defenses immediately! Don’t give her an opening!”
“Stop her! We must use our formation to stop her! We cannot let her continue slaughtering our soldiers!”
The order went out, and the Blackwater Empire hastily activated their defensive barriers.
But quick as they were, they couldn’t keep the Divine Dragon Empress out.
By now, she had already returned to human form—and was standing deep within the Blackwater Army’s ranks.
