In mid-air, Ye Xin's long dress fluttered lightly, radiating starlight. Around her, the Star-Tail Blue Phoenix danced, sometimes merging into her body, other times soaring out.
"What kind of technique is this?" Zhou Yian and the others stared in astonishment at Ye Xin in mid-air, their gazes fixed on her for a long time.
The Star-Tail Blue Phoenix circling Ye Xin carried a powerful pressure, gazing down at everything around it.
They vaguely remembered that Ye Xin's soul power was merely starlight power. When did it transform into this blue phoenix, its magnificent tail trailing like the Milky Way behind it?
"Now is not the time to marvel at this empress's power. Get ready to strike!" Fang Shuiwen said, his expression solemn as he stared at the Fengxun Clan in mid-air. He addressed the two people beside him, "Not only those three Fengxun Clan members who are in the Transcendent Realm, but we also have to keep an eye on the others. We can't let them harm the Green Spirit Clan."
As soon as Fang Shuiwen finished speaking, Zhou Yian and Yang Guixiang beside him also released their soul power, their primordial weapons armed, eyes fixed on the high-flying foreign clan.
The black and white longsword in Fang Shuiwen's hand radiated energy that encircled him, exuding a gentle aura.
Next to him, Zhou Yian's longsword gleamed with an overwhelming sharpness. Just by standing there with his sword, the surrounding space seemed as though it might be sliced apart.
A blood-red sword formed in Yang Guixiang's hand, emitting an immense killing intent that surged toward the Fengxun Clan in the sky.
The soul power of the three elders erupted completely, revealing their impressive strength.
"Attack!" Fang Shuiwen shouted. The three moved in unison, their sword energies intertwined, aiming directly at the three Fengxun Clan members in the Transcendent Realm.
At the same time, they directed a portion of their soul power toward the other Fengxun Clan members, making it difficult for them to hold on.
Though it was just a fraction of the three elders' soul power, the momentum was tremendous. For those at this level, resisting it was already incredibly difficult.
As a result, the Fengxun Clan members had no time to attack the Green Spirit Clan. They were forced to focus solely on dealing with the overwhelming soul power from the three elders.
Seeing the three elders holding back the Fengxun Clan, many Green Spirit Clan members breathed a sigh of relief. They gazed up at the sky with admiration.
The humans having such powerful strength was a great advantage. The Green Spirit Clan simply could not achieve the same.
This thought brought a sense of sadness to many members of the Green Spirit Clan.
Seeing this, Cui Yu suddenly remembered Ye Xin's words to her. She quickly turned around and shouted to her clan members, "Don't give up on yourselves! This is what sister told me..."
Facing her people, Cui Yu raised her voice, "The Wood Spirit Clan is now thriving! They have already created a new spiritual medicine, one that has never existed before in this world!"
"The Wood Spirit Clan? Cui Yu, what do you mean?" Her words left many of the Green Spirit Clan members dumbfounded, and the elder nearby asked in shock.
Cui Yu earnestly recounted everything Ye Xin had told her to the gathered clan members. As they listened, a new light flickered in their eyes.
In mid-air, the leader of the Fengxun Clan remained silent, quietly listening to Cui Yu's speech below. When she finished, his expression darkened.
Looking at Ye Xin again, his voice was filled with malice as he said, "What exactly is your Hua Xia Empire planning?"
Ambition, terrifying ambition!
In Cui Yu's eyes, the empire across the sea was a beautiful utopia, a place where she and her clan could live happily ever after.
But to the leader of the Fengxun Clan, that empire was a terrifying beast, opening its jaws to devour everything.
A human empire that could accept foreign races as citizens, allowing them to fully utilize their talents?
Each race had its own strengths and weaknesses, including the human race.
Yet this human empire was genuinely accepting different races, integrating them into the empire. As more races joined, the empire's territories would naturally expand.
Each race would use its unique talents to compensate for the empire's weaknesses, and eventually, the empire would have no shortcomings!
On the Soul Martial Continent, the eastern continent had many powerful human forces, and the western continent had many strong foreign races.
But whether in the east or the west, the forces were either dominated by powerful human clans or by strong foreign races.
There had never been a force that combined humans and other races!
The chaotic forces in the Violent Star Sea were nothing more than bands of thieves, driven by plunder, not unity.
This single action revealed the ambition of the Hua Xia Empire to the Fengxun leader!
If such an empire were allowed to grow, the entire Soul Martial Continent might not be able to withstand the rise of a multiracial empire.
This empress must be captured. She could become a valuable bargaining chip against that empire in the future!
"As an empress, you dare to risk your life here? Quite brave!" The Fengxun leader sneered, his green soul power surging, and the wind within his phantom cloak grew even more powerful.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, the Fengxun leader vanished. A gentle breeze passed by, and he reappeared in front of Ye Xin at a terrifying speed. Green soul power gathered in his palm at an astonishing rate.
A solid green wind blade formed in his hand, and as he approached Ye Xin, he opened his hands, pulling them apart.
The green wind blade was stretched into a crescent shape, radiating a terrifying wave of soul power.
Green Moon Slash!
The Fengxun leader's pupils shrank as the soul power in his palms exploded, launching the green crescent blade toward Ye Xin.
The Fengxun Clan, a race that controlled the wind, moved with extreme speed. Even Ye Xin had not noticed him approaching in time.
The green wind blade reflected on her face, casting a greenish glow. Its power was so immense that the surrounding air seemed to tear apart.
Yet Ye Xin's expression remained calm and unperturbed. As the empress of the Hua Xia Empire, she was poised, unshaken.
With a serene expression, her Star Sword descended lightly, effortlessly shattering the green blade.
With one strike, the Fengxun leader's soul was terrified, and he hastily retreated.
Standing with her sword, Ye Xin gazed at the Fengxun Clan leader with a proud tone, "With such a petty trick, you think you can kill me? You, of the Fengxun Clan!"
Her cold voice rang out like the cry of nine phoenixes, and an overwhelming pressure crushed down on him.
She was the empress of the Hua Xia Empire!
