My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Cangming looked up, gazing at the sky shrouded in boundless sword energy. The dimness and despair in his eyes gradually turned into madness.

"Since my clan has ruled the Six Realms, we've grown increasingly like the Human Clan, caring about rules and restraints, forgetting the essence of the Ancient God Clan."

"That essence is the primal wildness and ferocity that belong to natural spirit beings!"

"Let the madness take over completely!"

A fierce glint flashed in Cangming's eyes, and another petal fell from his true form, the Seven-Colored Flower. Only three petals remained, swaying gently amidst the sword energy, appearing both fragile and sorrowful.

On the other end of the sword energy, Gu Lan continued to wield his sword without pause. Every stroke carried calmness, even coldness. He would show no mercy to his enemies.

He had heard the cries for help from those Main God Realm experts just now. If he had stopped attacking, he might have saved a few who were nearby, though not all of them. But he couldn't do that. If he gave Cangming a chance to breathe, suppressing him again would be much harder.

In such a situation, it was easy to decide what to do. Compared to a few wavering Divine Realm experts, the Ancient God Clan's young master, Cangming, was obviously the priority.

"As expected of the chosen young master of the Ancient God Clan—lasting this long is beyond my expectations."

"The legendary Seven-Colored Flower from the primordial wilderness truly lives up to its name."

"In that case, I should step it up as well!"

Gu Lan took out a jade bottle filled with dense, radiant spiritual energy. Upon opening it, a refreshing scent of medicinal pills wafted out. These were God-Tier pills, and of the highest quality, meant to restore divine power.

In the Six Realms, pills that restore divine power are priceless treasures. If a Divine Realm expert possessed such pills and was discovered, they'd likely face assassination or relentless pursuit. This showed just how valuable these pills were.

Gu Lan didn't have many of these pills in his collection, yet he poured a handful out without hesitation, cradling them like beans and swallowing them all in one go.

"Damn it!"

"He actually has such an incredible treasure! Has Zhuge Qingyun given him all the secret troves and treasures of the Six Realms?"

Within the sword energy, Cangming detected Gu Lan's actions through secret techniques. Despite his current state of primal madness, a surge of jealousy rose in him. Standing before Gu Lan, he suddenly felt as though he, the young master of the Ancient God Clan, was the one lacking prestige.

Compared to Gu Lan, his divine powers, skills, pills, Destiny, Merit, and Great Path comprehension all fell short. This stark difference drove him further into madness.

Another petal fell, this time a yellow one. It landed on Cangming's head, as if a new sun had been born.

"Welcome to the realm of the gods!"

"In the radiance of the sun's power, destroy everything!"

"Golden Crow Extinction!"

A mighty solar force radiated from Cangming, with the yellow petal of the Seven-Colored Flower representing the Great Path of the Sun. Within this Great Path, the divine skill Golden Crow Extinction was the strongest.

Not only could the Golden Crow spew the fire of the sun, but it could also illuminate all darkness, making it the nemesis of dark powers. If not for the Ancient God Clan's ancestor in the primordial era, who shot down nine Golden Crows with the Creation Divine Bow, causing an imbalance of yin and yang, the extraterrestrial entities in the Six Realms would never have been able to wage war against them in the ancient Sealing Demon Battle. Even with the Bright Clan stirring up trouble behind the scenes, they could not have been a match for the Six Realms.

Of course, the details of this were only briefly recorded in the Records of the Nine Heavens' Secrets, and even Gu Lan didn't fully understand what had happened. He couldn't be sure if the legend of the great archer shooting down the Golden Crows was true.

But one thing was certain to him now—the Golden Crow was powerful, even surpassing typical natural spirit beings. Gu Lan himself had only a shallow understanding of the Great Path of the Sun. In the face of the Golden Crow's assault, he could only avoid its peak ferocity.

The terrifying power of the sun descended, transforming into countless sun flames. However, before they fell, Gu Lan had already flashed to another mountain ridge. The Golden Crow's divine skill was mighty, but its speed seemed lacking. By using spatial power, Gu Lan could easily evade its attack.

"Golden Crow Extinction, truly a catastrophe!"

"Cuitian World probably won't escape its doom this time!"

The few Main God Realm experts who had narrowly survived looked on from a distance, each with a grim expression. They hadn't even shown such sorrow when their old friends perished in self-destruction moments earlier.

Living as long as they had, they knew more about the Golden Crow legend than even Gu Lan.

"Fortunately, that young master of the Ancient God Clan hasn't fully mastered this divine skill. His ability to harness the Great Path is limited. If he could transform into a Three-Legged Golden Crow, the entire Cuitian World would likely be incinerated in the sun's fire."

"Just like in ancient times, when the boundless Immortal Realm was melted into nine pieces by the Three-Legged Golden Crow, annihilating billions of living beings."

Recalling the ancient legends, the most cautious of the Main God Realm experts shivered with unease, remembering terrifying events. Surrendering to the Ancient God Clan was trivial in comparison to the horror of encountering a powerful Golden Crow.

One of the oldest among them even remembered the great archer's shot that saved the Six Realms, ending the primordial wilderness era. Since then, the Ancient God Clan had fallen into slumber, and there had been no God Realm in the Six Realms.

"A bunch of fools!"

"I can't believe I was forced to self-destruct my body because of these idiots! What a humiliation!"

As the Main God Realm experts reminisced about ancient legends, a small black speck with a faint life force emerged from a vast circular crater dozens of miles wide nearby, drifting off like dust. It was the vine that housed the Undead Vine's primordial spirit.

He had survived after all.

"Once the young master commands the Golden Crow to eliminate that guy, I'll come back and slaughter every Divine Realm in this world, restoring my clan's might!"

As the Undead Vine swore revenge, a flash of golden light appeared in the distance, speeding towards him in an instant.

Who was it?

A fierce beast's aura?
