Xuanhuan: The Empress and I Swapped Bodies - Chapter 7

“Your Majesty, be careful now!”

“Stars Shift and Heavens Turn!”

With a loud shout, Murong Wan’er summoned seven refined stars around her.

They weren’t large—each no bigger than a fist—but as they moved, they radiated not only the power of the stars but also subtly warped the surrounding space.

This level of strength was far beyond what an ordinary Great Master could achieve.

Yet, this was indeed the power Murong Wan’er possessed during her Great Master stage.

This was the difference between the Supreme Immortal Clans and ordinary cultivators.

The Supreme Immortal Clans possessed unfathomable heritage. They could not only lay an unshakable foundation for their descendants but also ensure that they far surpassed commoners in every cultivation realm.

Thus, it was only natural for Murong Wan’er to have seven stars accompanying her.

Seeing her display, Ye Wushuang suddenly felt a pang of regret.

“Did I overdo it this time?”

“Just at the Great Master stage, she already has seven stars orbiting her, with such overwhelming stellar energy surrounding her—what kind of monster is she?”

“I should have learned some stronger techniques before challenging her!”

“If I lose to her now, the humiliation would be unbearable!”

The Divine Dragon Empress must have possessed similarly unmatched foundations during her Great Master stage.

But Ye Wushuang had no idea what those foundations were.

He didn’t even know what cultivation techniques the Divine Dragon Empress had practiced.

So now, he could only rely on himself.

He carefully observed Murong Wan’er’s seven stars, searching for any weaknesses.

For others, this would be nearly impossible—Stars Shift and Heavens Turn was one of the Murong Clan’s supreme techniques, not something that could be easily countered.

But Ye Wushuang believed that, borrowing the Divine Dragon Empress’s insight and comprehension, he might just find a flaw.

As he analyzed, he also took action.

When Murong Wan’er attacked, all seven stars moved in unison.

Each star carried the full might of a celestial body, and every collision felt like seven stars crashing down at once.

Such a terrifying assault would have reduced any ordinary cultivator to dust instantly.

Yet, Ye Wushuang simply threw a punch.

Boom!

The moment his fist struck, a deafening explosion erupted.

Under Murong Wan’er’s shocked gaze, Ye Wushuang’s punch sent one of her stars flying hundreds of miles away.

Had the training grounds not been a pocket dimension, the star might have shattered the celestial palace’s structures beyond.

Even Ye Wushuang was stunned.

He hadn’t expected the Divine Dragon Empress’s physical strength to be so overwhelming.

After all, he had suppressed all his power—including his physical strength—to the Great Master level.

And yet, he had still sent a star flying with a single punch.

Just how monstrous was the Divine Dragon Empress’s body?

“Could she actually be a true Divine Dragon?”

During his time in the palace, Ye Wushuang had read many texts. He knew of the existence of dragon bloodlines.

He also knew that the Divine Dragon Empire was named as such because its founder possessed the bloodline of the Divine Dragon.

And the Divine Dragon Empress was said to be a rare case of bloodline reversion—a return to ancestral purity.

But he never imagined her physical strength would rival that of legendary primordial beasts.

This overwhelming power reminded him of a figure from ancient myths—Pangu.

In the legends, Pangu followed the path of the Dao of Strength, mastering the laws of force and shattering all techniques with sheer might.

If the Divine Dragon Empress could send stars flying with a punch at the Great Master stage, she could very well be walking the same path—breaking all laws with pure strength.

“It seems my understanding of the Divine Dragon Empress is still lacking. I’ve underestimated her power.”

“But this is a good opportunity to test whether the path of sheer force is viable!”

This realization also made Ye Wushuang resolve to strengthen his own physique in the future, pursuing the same path of overwhelming force.

Of course, his immediate priority was defeating Murong Wan’er.

Now aware of his body’s capabilities, Ye Wushuang charged forward without hesitation.

This aggressive approach took Murong Wan’er by surprise.

She never expected the ethereal, dignified Divine Dragon Empress to fight in such a brutish, close-combat manner.

But she had just witnessed her punch a star into the distance.

She knew better than to take that fist head-on.

Immediately, she directed several stars to attack Ye Wushuang from different angles.

Though small in size, their combined stellar energy engulfed him completely.

The twisted forces of multiple stars created a crushing pressure, enough to grind most cultivators into nothingness.

Yet, this crushing force had no effect on Ye Wushuang.

Even without active defense, his physical resilience alone could withstand the stellar onslaught.

Moreover, a faint protective barrier surrounded him—like a miniature furnace, within which countless techniques were being refined.

When all laws merged, they could manifest in any form.

But Murong Wan’er didn’t notice this.

Her attention remained fixed on Ye Wushuang’s fists.

Those slender, jade-like hands looked delicate, yet their power rivaled divine artifacts.

Under their strikes, her mighty stars were sent flying one after another.

The backlash even disrupted her own qi, leaving her breathless.

Worse, Ye Wushuang was closing in.

If he landed even one punch, she would be knocked out instantly.

She had no choice but to change tactics.

“Your Majesty, be warned!”

Suddenly, her seven stars began spinning—chaotically at first, then forming the shape of a spoon.

This was the Big Dipper Formation, another secret art of the Murong Clan.

Once the formation was complete, boundless stellar energy enveloped Ye Wushuang.

The seven stars, now aligned like a celestial spoon—or perhaps a giant pan—slammed down toward him.

This attack combined the power of seven stars with the might of the Big Dipper Formation, its force far exceeding mere addition.

In an instant, Ye Wushuang sensed deadly danger.

If this strike landed, he would be severely wounded—if not worse.

Life and death hung in the balance.

The situation had turned dire.
