“Your Majesty, everything depends on you now!!”
The Divine Dragon Empire’s general, harboring intense expectations, sent a distress signal to the Divine Dragon Empress. Afterward, they focused solely on defending against the allied factions’ attacks.
“Defense! Everyone, enter defensive posture! We must hold against the enemy’s assault!!”
“Hold on, everyone! I’ve already sent word to Her Majesty. She will come to support us soon!!”
“Yes, sir!!”
They trusted their general’s words implicitly.
They also trusted the Divine Dragon Empress implicitly.
Therefore, hearing such words acted like a powerful stimulant for many officers and soldiers. Everyone’s spirits lifted, and they redoubled their defensive efforts.
Even though the enemy’s attacks continued unabated, a strange sense of calm settled in their hearts.
This wasn’t just the case for this one army; the other four armies were the same.
They all waited quietly, awaiting the Divine Dragon Empress’s support.
Meanwhile, the Divine Dragon Empress had originally been studying Dao techniques with Ye Wushuang.
Upon receiving the distress calls from all five armies, her expression changed slightly.
Then, it returned to normal.
“Friend Wushuang, I have some urgent matters to attend to suddenly, so I’ll need to pause for a moment!”
“Alright, Friend Ruyan, please do as you need.”
Ye Wushuang didn’t know what the Divine Dragon Empress had to do.
However, judging by her demeanor, it didn’t seem like she was dealing with something critically important.
So, he simply sat there, waiting for her to handle her affairs.
Seeing him like this, the Divine Dragon Empress suddenly smiled.
Then, she spoke up:
“Today, I feel I have gained sufficient insight into the ‘Myriad Swords Return to Origin’ technique. So, I’d like to ask you, my friend, to take a look and see if there are any areas in my ‘Myriad Swords Return to Origin’ that need correction!!”
“Alright!!”
As soon as Ye Wushuang said “Alright,” the Divine Dragon Empress’s expression turned serious. Subsequently, her stature and aura seemed to rise infinitely.
With a single glance, Ye Wushuang could tell the Divine Dragon Empress was now activating the Divine Dragon Imperial Extreme Sutra. With this Dao technique, she could directly elevate her power to the Supreme Realm.
Now that the Divine Dragon Empire possessed fifty major worlds, her strength could be considered top-tier even within the Supreme Realm.
Thus, the moment her aura erupted, it shot straight into the heavens, drawing the attention of countless individuals.
Even the members of the five major factions noticed the Divine Dragon Empress’s presence.
The appearance of the Divine Dragon Empress caused the faces of the five factions to pale.
They knew that the Divine Dragon Empress had previously slain over twenty Supreme Realm experts.
Such a formidable existence was not something any single one of their five factions could handle.
Not even their five factions join could likely deal with the Divine Dragon Empress alone.
Fortunately, their five factions were in different directions and very far from the Divine Dragon Empress.
Therefore, they didn’t need to worry too much about the Divine Dragon Empress harming all five factions simultaneously.
Nevertheless, her appearance still made them internally tense.
“Faster! Even faster! Smash their military formation for me!!”
“Increase our attacks! Strengthen our assault on them! Break their ranks! Resolve this quickly!!”
“Hurry! We don’t have much time! We must seize the moment now!!”
They wanted to shatter the Divine Dragon Empire’s army and defeat them decisively before the Divine Dragon Empress could intervene.
That way, even if the Divine Dragon Empress arrived, they could retreat swiftly without fear.
Coupled with coordination from the other factions, the Divine Dragon Empress alone would surely be overwhelmed.
Because of this, these individuals attacked with even greater ferocity.
Such a fierce assault put even more pressure on the Divine Dragon Empire’s armies.
However, what surprised everyone was that although the Divine Dragon Empress had appeared, she did not rush to attack any of the factions.
She stood like a spectator, towering above the major worlds of her Divine Dragon Empire.
This was something none of them had anticipated.
They even began to wonder if the Divine Dragon Empress had decided not to intervene, allowing them to proceed as they wished?
But just as this thought emerged, a new development occurred with the Divine Dragon Empress.
“Myriad!”
“Swords!”
“Return!”
“To Origin!!”
The Divine Dragon Empress’s vast voice resonated throughout the fifty major worlds of the Divine Dragon Empire.
As her voice echoed, massive amounts of sword intent began to coalesce around the fifty major worlds.
Although the physical forms of the swords were things like grass and wood, the sword intent they contained was utterly terrifying.
In an instant, they formed five great sword formations. Each formation contained ten thousand types of sword intent.
They stood densely within the major worlds of the Divine Dragon Empire, directly facing the forces of the five factions.
And when the Divine Dragon Empress finished uttering the four words “Myriad Swords Return to Origin,” those ten thousand types of sword intent, with virtually no hesitation, shot straight towards the Supreme and Immortal Emperor Realm experts of the five factions.
For now, they ignored the regular forces of the five factions still within their large-scale formations. All their targets were fixed on the Supreme and Immortal Emperor Realm experts of the five factions.
Especially the Supreme Realm experts—they were the Divine Dragon Empress’s primary targets.
Seeing countless streams of sword intent hurtling towards them, the Supreme Realm experts of the various factions felt their minds go numb.
“What’s happening? How can she attack us simultaneously without even being here? How is she doing this??”
“I don’t know! This… this is completely different from what we imagined! She can actually remotely control five great sword formations, with ten thousand types of sword intent? How are we supposed to fight a battle like this??”
“I… I remember now! When the Divine Dragon Empress was young, she cultivated a technique called the Divine Dragon Imperial Extreme Sutra. It allows her to borrow the power of worlds to enhance her strength. Similarly, it lets her power instantly reach any corner of the worlds she controls!”
“We… we are done for this time!!”
One of the reasons the five factions dared to attack the Divine Dragon Empire simultaneously was precisely because the Divine Dragon Empress couldn’t quickly reach the locations of all five factions.
The time it would take her to travel would be enough for them to conclude their battles.
That’s why they were willing to join forces to deal with the Divine Dragon Empress.
But who could have imagined that the Divine Dragon Empress’s technique was so extraordinary, allowing her power to reach any corner of the Divine Dragon Empire?
For the members of the five factions, this was undoubtedly utterly terrifying.
Especially those ten thousand streams of sword intent hurtling towards them—they were enough to make one’s liver and gall tremble in fear.
“I surrender! I am willing to surrender! Can I surrender??”
“I don’t want to die! I regret it! I truly regret it! Our faction is willing to surrender unconditionally to the Divine Dragon Empire!”
“No! Divine Dragon Empress, you can’t do this!!”
Those Supreme Realm experts—the sect leaders of the various factions—had already sensed a lethal threat.
Therefore, they were filled with deep regret.
Some among them could no longer restrain their inner fear and wanted to surrender!!
