Xuanhuan: The Empress and I Swapped Bodies - Chapter 90

“The Void Colossus… is just dead? That’s it? This feels way too abrupt!”

“A Quasi-Supreme and a Heavenly Immortal actually smashed a Void Colossus to death? Who would believe this if we told them?”

“I have to admit, the Divine Dragon Empire isn’t ordinary. It seems just sending the Void Colossus wasn’t enough to test their limits—we’ll have to step in ourselves!”

These hidden observers had hoped to use the Void Colossus to gauge the Divine Dragon Empire’s strength.

They wanted to see just how powerful the empire truly was—whether they could intercept them and seize those thirty major worlds for themselves.

But now, with just a Quasi-Supreme and a Heavenly Immortal effortlessly crushing the Void Colossus, they found it impossible to assess the empire’s real capabilities.

Yet, at this point, retreating wasn’t an option.

So, without further hesitation, they abandoned subtlety and made their move.

In the next moment, a swarm of Supreme Realm experts materialized before Ye Wushuang and his group.

A quick count put their numbers at at least twenty.

The sight made even Ye Wushuang inhale sharply.

Back at the Vermilion Bird Sacred Mountain, he had deliberately not annihilated the Vermilion Bird Ancestor or plundered their entire clan.

Why?

Because he feared drawing the attention of the other Sacred Mountains and factions.

A single Sacred Mountain was manageable.

But if all nine Sacred Mountains—plus other major powers—united against him?

Even Ye Wushuang couldn’t withstand that many Supreme Realm experts at once.

And now, despite his restraint, trouble had still found them.

Twenty Supreme Realm experts.

For any faction, this was a nightmare scenario.

Fortunately, while Liu Ning and the others were shocked, they weren’t panicked. They held their ground.

“Who are you people? Do you seek trouble with the Divine Dragon Empire?”

“We mean no hostility. But with so many resources at stake, it’s unfair for the Divine Dragon Empire to monopolize them. Hand over twenty-five major worlds, and you may keep five. Let’s end this peacefully—how about it?”

“Not a chance. If you want major worlds, go raid the Vermilion Bird Sacred Mountain or the others. Why come begging from us?”

Liu Ning’s words carried a veiled warning.

He was reminding them: These worlds were taken from the Vermilion Bird Clan by force.

If they weren’t even stronger than the Vermilion Bird Sacred Mountain, provoking the Divine Dragon Empire would be suicide.

But faced with such a bounty—and backed by twenty Supreme Realm experts—these intruders weren’t about to back down.

Greed outweighed caution.

Their expressions darkened at Liu Ning’s dismissal.

“So the Divine Dragon Empire refuses to cooperate?”

“Since when do the robbed happily ‘cooperate’ with their robbers?”

“Then don’t blame us for ganging up on you!”

As one, the twenty Supreme Realm experts moved, sealing off all escape routes.

They positioned themselves around Ye Wushuang’s group, watching coldly—waiting to see how they’d react.

The sheer arrogance of it enraged Liu Ning.

Gripping his Sky-Overturning Seal, he prepared to charge.

But Ye Wushuang stopped him.

“Master, let me handle this.”

Liu Ning was strong—a Quasi-Supreme who could rival true Supreme Realm experts.

Against an ordinary Supreme, he’d win.

But twenty?

That was a death wish.

So Ye Wushuang decided: No more holding back.

The moment he spoke, his aura exploded, skyrocketing from Heavenly Immortal to Supreme Realm in an instant.

The sudden shift stunned the onlookers.

“She just jumped from Heavenly Immortal to Supreme Realm? Impressive!”

“Rumor says the Divine Dragon Empress cultivates the Divine Dragon Imperial Scripture—the stronger her empire, the stronger she becomes. If she really takes these thirty worlds back, she might dominate even among Supremes!”

“She’s extraordinary, I’ll give her that. A prodigy like this is rare. But sending just her against us? Is the Divine Dragon Empire looking down on us?”

Though Ye Wushuang’s power surge was startling, the intruders weren’t intimidated.

Twenty Supremes versus one?

Even the weakest among them could match her.

What about the other nineteen?

How would the Divine Dragon Empire stop them?

No one answered their doubts.

Once Ye Wushuang stepped forward, Liu Ning didn’t argue.

He knew—Ye Wushuang had this under control.

Even against twenty Supremes, he trusted her to repel them.

Even the Divine Dragon Empire’s Ancestor, Liu Shan, stayed back, assuming a defensive stance.

He and Liu Ning would handle any surprises.

The rest?

All Ye Wushuang’s to deal with.

After ascending to Supreme Realm, Ye Wushuang didn’t linger among his allies.

Instead, he rose above them, looking down at the encircling Supremes with icy disdain.

The intruders exchanged puzzled glances.

“What’s her game? Does she really plan to fight twenty Supremes alone?”

“She can’t be that foolish. Someone this talented wouldn’t make such a suicidal choice.”

“Her actions are baffling. But no matter—capture her first. Once we control her, the Divine Dragon Empire won’t dare act recklessly!”

“Well said. Then let’s teach this arrogant girl a lesson! “
