While Ye Wushuang was absorbing the heavenly tribulation liquid, the people of the Yemo Tian Universe were completely dumbfounded.
The current situation was nothing like what they had expected.
In their predictions, the Divine Dragon Empress would never have been able to survive the tribulation.
Even if a miracle did happen and she made it through, she would surely be severely injured—perhaps even on the verge of death.
But now, she showed no signs of serious injury whatsoever.
What’s more, the tribulation didn’t seem to have been dispersed by her—it looked like it simply dissipated on its own.
For the people of the Yemo Tian Universe, this discovery was simply beyond belief.
“Th-This… how is this possible? How could the heavenly tribulation just fade away on its own? Did it… spare her?”
“I—I don’t know! We couldn’t see what happened inside at all, but one thing I’m certain of—the Divine Dragon Empress is still alive!”
“Dammit! I never expected her to survive. Looks like we still have to make our move!”
Their target had always been the Divine Dragon Empress, and now that she was still alive, they naturally refused to accept it.
Thus, one and all, their intent was clear—they wanted to take her down.
So even though they didn’t understand why the tribulation had dispersed, after a moment’s hesitation, they set off toward the great world where the Divine Dragon Empress and Ye Wushuang were.
“Let’s go. We’ll kill them—don’t give them any chance to escape!”
“Yes!”
Two invincible supreme beings from Yemo Tian, along with many Paragon-level powerhouses, all had the same clear goal—they were heading straight for the world where Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress were.
This overt movement also drew the attention of many powerful figures.
Numerous experts noticed that the world where those two resided suddenly had a large number of Paragon-level cultivators converging on it.
That made many of them realize—something big was about to go down in that great world.
And such a major incident caused some of the experts who had been planning to return to that world to halt in their tracks.
Fear crept into their hearts.
“I knew it. Today’s events wouldn’t end so easily.”
“A heavenly tribulation stirring up such a huge commotion—the people involved can’t be simple characters!”
“Just as I thought—their enemies have arrived!”
The people of that great world didn’t know the true identities of Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress.
But they could sense that many Paragon-level experts had appeared in their world.
So most of them didn’t dare to get close—they chose to watch from a distance instead.
That choice, of course, was made for their own safety.
Over on the other side, the Divine Dragon Empress quickly sensed that something was wrong.
She felt a large number of powerful beings speeding toward her location.
And at the same time, they were radiating hostility.
She glanced at them briefly, then paid them little further attention.
If Ye Wushuang hadn’t been in the middle of his tribulation, she and Ye Wushuang would have left immediately—they avoided trouble whenever they could.
But right now, Ye Wushuang was still absorbing the tribulation liquid, and wouldn’t be leaving anytime soon.
So the Divine Dragon Empress knew she would have to face these formidable enemies.
In the past, she wouldn’t have had the confidence to deal with so many powerful foes.
But things were different now. Not only was she far stronger than before, but Ye Wushuang was also incredibly powerful.
Working together, they feared neither Paragon-level experts nor even invincible supreme beings.
So even though she sensed the Paragon experts of Yemo Tian closing in around her, she remained completely unruffled.
The Paragon experts of Yemo Tian, of course, had no idea about this.
After surrounding the Divine Dragon Empress, they themselves were full of surprise.
“Hm? What’s going on? Wasn’t the Divine Dragon Empress supposed to be the one undergoing the tribulation? Why is she still here?”
“Looks like we got it wrong. The one going through the tribulation this time wasn’t the Divine Dragon Empress—it was that Ye Wushuang! But that’s actually good news for us. After all, if the Divine Dragon Empress had completed her tribulation, her strength would have grown even more, and that would be an even bigger headache for us.”
“Exactly. The Divine Dragon Empress is already powerful enough as it is—we can’t let her get any stronger. Otherwise, we’ll be in serious trouble.”
Although they had initially guessed that it was the Divine Dragon Empress undergoing the tribulation, now that they saw it wasn’t her, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Because once the Divine Dragon Empress passed her tribulation, her power would inevitably rise.
Given the strength she had already displayed, she was already formidable enough.
If she grew even stronger, all of them would be in trouble.
So it was better to strike while she was still relatively weaker and capture her.
With that thought, the people of Yemo Tian sprang into action without hesitation.
They attacked the Divine Dragon Empress directly.
“Divine Dragon Empress, die!”
That shout reached the Divine Dragon Empress’s ears loud and clear.
But she had anticipated this situation, so in an instant, her aura surged to the Paragon level.
At the same time, she drew her sword.
The moment her blade appeared, the Paragon experts of Yemo Tian all felt a jolt of alarm.
“Everyone be careful—watch her sword!”
“She’s comprehended the Sword Dao—none of you should try to meet her head-on!”
“Attack together! Blast her directly—don’t give her a chance to strike back at us!”
The Paragon experts of Yemo Tian all felt a fatal threat from the Divine Dragon Empress’s sword.
So they shouted out advice, thinking of ways to deal with her blade.
But while the Paragon experts were on high alert, the invincible supreme beings of Yemo Tian were frowning instead.
They hadn’t appeared yet, instead choosing to observe from the shadows.
However, after watching for a while, they realized that things weren’t quite what they had expected.
The Divine Dragon Empress’s swordsmanship didn’t seem as formidable as they had imagined.
They checked again and again, confirming that they saw no trace of Sword Law in her sword techniques.
This left them deeply puzzled.
“Could it be… that the Divine Dragon Empress is holding back?”
“That shouldn’t be the case. With so many Paragon experts surrounding her, there’s no reason for her to hide her strength, is there?”
“Then why is there no Sword Law in her swordsmanship?”
The invincible supreme beings of Yemo Tian couldn’t figure this out.
But soon, they began to suspect that the Divine Dragon Empress might indeed be concealing her power.
Because even though she wasn’t using the Sword Law, her movement speed was astonishingly fast—she instantly broke through the encirclement of Yemo Tian’s Paragon experts.
And in the very moment she broke free, she swiftly killed one of Yemo Tian’s Paragon experts.
