After dealing with those Sovereign Stage powerhouses from the Blackwater Empire, the Divine Dragon Empress didn’t hesitate for a moment. She frantically rushed back towards the Divine Dragon Heavenly Palace.
Although her speed wasn’t as fast as when Ye Wushuang utilized the Column Character Secret Technique, she could still traverse half a major world in the span of a single breath.
Because of this, after just a few dozen breaths, the Divine Dragon Empress had already returned to the Divine Dragon Heavenly Palace.
Subsequently, the Divine Dragon Empress condensed a throne out of thin air in the void. She sat down on the throne, began to regulate the aura within her body, and waited.
This waiting lasted for half a cup of tea’s time.
After that half a cup of tea, the ancestor of the Blackwater Empire and three other Sovereign Stage powerhouses finally appeared outside the Divine Dragon Heavenly Palace.
At this moment, they were overjoyed.
“Hahaha! Little does the Divine Dragon Empress imagine that while they’re attacking our Blackwater Empire, we would be launching a sneak attack on their Divine Dragon Heavenly Palace!!”
“Our people have sent word that the Divine Dragon Empress is slaughtering our Blackwater Empire’s grand army on a large scale, even killing our Sovereign Stage powerhouses. Today, we must make the Divine Dragon Empress pay the price!!”
“Yes, we absolutely must make her pay! Today, we’ll destroy their Divine Dragon Heavenly Palace and make their Divine Dragon Imperial Family vanish from this world!!”
“Well said, then let’s act quickly. If we wait until the Divine Dragon Empress rushes back, we might be in big trouble!!”
Having said this, these Sovereign Stage powerhouses from the Blackwater Empire prepared to make their move.
Of course, before they acted, they still needed to eliminate the Sovereign Stage powerhouses of the Divine Dragon Empire. Otherwise, letting those Sovereign Stage powerhouses escape would also be a huge problem for the Blackwater Empire.
Therefore, these men arrived directly in front of the Divine Dragon Heavenly Palace and shouted loudly:
“People of the Divine Dragon Imperial Family, roll out here and face your death!!!”
Their voices were incredibly loud, not only spreading throughout the entire Divine Dragon Empire but also creating a huge echo. This immense echo resonated through the whole Divine Dragon Heavenly Palace and the entire Divine Dragon Imperial City.
Instantly, the defenses within the Divine Dragon Heavenly Palace were raised. At the same time, the Sovereign Stage powerhouses of the Divine Dragon Imperial Family were about to charge out.
However, at that moment, a clear, cold voice suddenly reached the ears of the Sovereign Stage powerhouses from the Blackwater Empire.
“Stop shouting, aren’t I right here?”
As soon as this voice sounded, the Sovereign Stage powerhouses of the Blackwater Empire were all startled.
Because the voice came from right beside them.
And before this, they hadn’t sensed anyone near them at all.
When they focused their eyes to look, they were even more shocked.
The person who had appeared beside them was none other than the Divine Dragon Empress of the Divine Dragon Empire.
The Divine Dragon Empress’s appearance directly scared these Sovereign Stage powerhouses senseless.
“Th-this, how is this possible? Weren’t you on the battlefield in our Blackwater Empire? How could you possibly be here!!”
“Yeah! Weren’t you fighting our Sovereign Stage powerhouses? How did you appear here in the Divine Dragon Heavenly Palace? Did you abandon your grand army and rush straight back??”
They were utterly astonished by the Divine Dragon Empress’s appearance.
In their calculations, the Divine Dragon Empress shouldn’t be here. At the very least, she shouldn’t be here at this moment.
Even if the Divine Dragon Empress had sensed something was wrong right now, she should still be on her way back to the Divine Dragon Heavenly Palace, not already having arrived.
If they had known the Divine Dragon Empress was right here in the Divine Dragon Heavenly Palace, they might not have had the courage to attack it in the first place.
After all, they all knew how powerful the Divine Dragon Empress was. None of them were willing to directly confront such a formidable existence.
Hearing this, the Divine Dragon Empress just smiled slightly.
“Actually, I’ve been waiting here for you for a long time. You finally made it. Your speed is really a bit slow, you know!!”
“You… waiting for us? Th-this… how is that possible? The Sovereign Stage powerhouses from our Blackwater Empire couldn’t possibly have sent us false information!!”
“They really didn’t send you false information. A while ago, I truly was on the battlefield in your Blackwater Empire. But, I still rushed back!!”
“Not only that, I also killed all those Sovereign Stage powerhouses from your Blackwater Empire!!”
“Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!!”
Hearing the Divine Dragon Empress say she had killed all the Sovereign Stage powerhouses of their Blackwater Empire, their first reaction was disbelief.
Although the Divine Dragon Empress was powerful, this time their Blackwater Empire had dispatched a full thirty Sovereign Stage powerhouses. Even if they weren’t a match for the Divine Dragon Empress individually, thirty of them joining forces should still have the ability to protect themselves.
Not to mention, it was absolutely impossible for the Divine Dragon Empress to spend that much time dealing with their Sovereign Stage powerhouses and still have time to rush back to the Divine Dragon Empire.
So, their first reaction was that the Divine Dragon Empress was lying.
But at this moment, the Divine Dragon Empress smiled as she spoke:
“If you don’t believe me, why not try contacting your Sovereign Stage powerhouses from the Blackwater Empire? I’ll give you plenty of time!!”
After she finished speaking, the Divine Dragon Empress once again sat down on her throne, her expression calm and composed, the overall situation firmly in her grasp.
In contrast, the people from the Blackwater Empire were much more panicked.
They didn’t believe the Divine Dragon Empress’s words, but at this moment, they subconsciously began trying to contact their own Sovereign Stage powerhouses.
Although the ancestor of the Blackwater Empire didn’t move, his expression was extremely grim. You could tell from his look that he was very unhappy.
Of course, even though he was unhappy, he didn’t make a move either. There was also a trace of worry in his heart. So, he too was waiting for news.
However, they tried contacting them for a long time and got no response whatsoever.
No matter which Sovereign Stage powerhouse they tried to contact, any of those who had gone to besiege the Divine Dragon Empress, it was as if they had vanished from the face of the earth. There wasn’t a single response.
Because of this, they waited for a full incense stick’s worth of time.
If a response was coming, it would have come long ago within an incense stick’s time.
No response meant they were no longer capable of responding.
This caused the faces of the Blackwater Empire people to turn deathly pale, expressions of terror appearing on their faces.
“Th-this… how is this possible? Could it be you possess an art of doppelganger technique? You were clearly on that battlefield, how could you possibly appear here?!”
“Haha! How can I appear here? It’s because you know nothing about speed!!“
“You thought that while I was fighting those Sovereign Stage powerhouses of yours, you could take the opportunity to sneak attack our Divine Dragon Empire!!”
“Let me tell you, you were dreaming!!”
“Today, not only have those ones died, but all of you will die too! Your Blackwater Empire… is finished!!”
