The black flames were extinguished at this moment.

I he Heavenly Demon Prison formed by the seven great worlds collapsed. The sky returned and the ground recovered. The mountains and rivers were still the same.

Xu Qing stood on the spot. His face was pale and his soul was weak. In front of him was the blood he had spat out earlier. Regardless of whether it was on the soil or his clothes, it was a shocking sight.

In fact, he still couldn’t suppress the rising blood. The instant he stood up, drops of blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth.

Xu Qing took a deep breath. This was the first time he had used the supreme authority of fate. Through this use, he had a better understanding of this supreme supreme authority.

The more he understood, the more his heart palpitated.

This supreme authority was extremely terrifying.

The price… was equally terrifying.

He was aware that if he hadn’t put the third intent, the price of wanting to make the carved fate come true would have exceeded his tolerance. In the end, there was a high chance that he would perish as well.

Even though he had relied on the third intent, engraving the fate of the heavenly demon’s betrayal to indirectly kill West Demon Child, he still paid such a price.

His soul had weakened.

His body was filled with cracks.

The cultivation power in his body was mostly exhausted. Even his authority and supreme authorities were dimming.

“I can’t use this supreme authority rashly…”

Xu Qing took a deep breath and wiped away the traces of his blood here. His body swayed as he wanted to leave this place quickly.

This was because the death of West Demon Child would definitely cause a storm. The risk of staying here was too great.

However, when Xu Qing only took a step forward, his body paused and he frowned, his expression gloomy.

At that moment, the red candle on his back started to light up! An intense heat erupted behind him, distorting the surroundings. The revival intent from the red candle seized this opportunity and recklessly lit up.

If it was ignited, although Xu Qing didn’t know the specific danger, the sense of danger from the depths of his heart erupted intensely.

This danger was like a sea of fire, wanting to burn Xu Qing inside.

This made it impossible for Xu Qing to leave now. The most important thing now was to deal with the red candle.

Hence, he didn’t hesitate at all. He didn’t care about his injuries and forcefully used the erase supreme authority. At the same time, he sent a thought to Little Shadow.

At the next instant, his erase supreme authority headed straight for the red candle on his back. At the same time, Little Shadow also trembled and pounced over.

At the center of the red candle, the kindling flickered…

It was about to become a fire!

The supreme authority and Little Shadow continuously suppressed and extinguished the kindling.

They were suppressing the red candle’s awakening that had formed from absorbing the demonic fire earlier.

Fortunately, Xu Qing had broken through the realm quickly and didn’t waste much time. Moreover, the demonic fire absorbed by the red candle was limited. Hence, even though it had seized the opportunity to revive, under the all-out efforts of the erase authority and Little Shadow, the momentum of recovery was gradually restrained.

Finally, as the flames disappeared, an unwilling roar echoed in Xu Qing’s ears. The fluctuations of recovery were completely suppressed.

However, the sense of danger didn’t dissipate. It came from the sky and from the withering corpse of the West Demon Child not far away.

I he former was terrifying, while the latter was heart-palpitating. As the corpse withered to the extreme, black fog rose.

This fog rapidly gathered and transformed into the phantom of the heavenly demon. It didn’t look at Xu Qing but the horizon.

After that, it instantly dissipated, leaving some words behind.

‘The fruit that is the West Demon Child was not yet ripe, but you disturbed his fate, causing me to consume him prematurely. Hence, you must compensate for the ensuing consequences. I hope you can survive the upcoming death tribulation. If you do not die, in the future… 1 will come for you.” If it was any other time, the words of this heavenly demon would definitely cause Xu Qing’s thoughts to rise. However, compared to this heavenly demon, he was more concerned about the danger from the sky.

This danger surpassed the danger from the heavenly demon and West Demon Child. It could even be said that it surpassed all the hostile cultivators Xu Qing had encountered so far!

It gave him the feeling that he was facing a supreme-ruler!

This was because it was the power of a Ruler that could fight against supreme-rulers! It wasn’t a new Ruler like Transient Evil, but a true almighty who had reached a certain level in the realm of the Ruler.

Hence, at that instant, Xu Qing’s soul trembled. His thoughts rumbled and his authorities fluctuated.

The feeling of danger was crazily rising. The shadow of death had already enveloped his mind and drowned everything.

He wanted to escape but he had nowhere to run.

This was because the sky distorted and a huge mirror silently appeared. Its range was a whole 500,000 kilometers, as though it had become the sky here! This mirror was circular and pitch-black.

Under its envelopment, it was as though the ground was covered by the night.

After that… snowflakes drifted out from the mirror.

This snow was also black.

There was no wind in the world, but the black snow naturally fell, replacing the rules and overriding the laws, causing everything here to form its own realm.

Xu Qing was in this realm.

The black mirror which was the sky of this realm descended slowly. The scene looked like the sky was falling or collapsing.

When it sank by an inch, the mountain ranges within the 500,000 kilometers blurred and disappeared.

In this black mirror, the outlines of all the disappearing mountain ranges appeared.

They were absorbed into the mirror and no longer existed in reality.

Xu Qing’s body trembled and cracks appeared rapidly. The feeling of life and death caused his eyes to turn red. He wanted to struggle but he couldn’t. Only blood gushed out.

From all parts of his body.

In the end, he still couldn’t face a Ruler.

Under the attack of a Ruler, his supreme authorities and authority were all useless.

I he black mirror that replaced the sky sank another inch.

There were lakes and rivers within 500,000 kilometers. Now, they disappeared and appeared in the mirror, forming an outline.

After that, it was the ground.

The land distorted and rapidly dissipated.

Everything in its range had appeared in the black mirror, and Xu Qing’s figure was also rapidly forming in it.

Death was approaching.

It only needed to sink another inch.

Xu Qing trembled and he was covered in blood. However, what appeared in his eyes wasn’t despair but madness.

He was indeed not a match for a Ruler. Regardless of whether it was Transient Evil back then or this cultivator who hadn’t revealed their figure yet, even though he had obtained opportunities and his combat strength had increased greatly, he was still not someone who could shake a Ruler.

However… this didn’t mean that he didn’t have a way to make the other party pay the price.

Under this madness, Xu Qing roared at the sky. Just as he was about to erupt, the black mirror in the sky… sank again.

The situation was about to undergo a shocking change.

At that moment, a tall figure walked over from the void and silently crossed this range. He walked into the realm formed by the black mirror and arrived in front of Xu Qing.

He was like a majestic mountain standing tall on the stormy battlefield.

Lu Lingzi!

Or more accurately, it was the Empress who had transformed into Lu Lingzi! She appeared at this instant and blocked the storm in front of Xu Qing, causing all the pressure that descended on Xu Qing to instantly disappear.

Xu Qing relaxed. He knew that he didn’t need to risk his life anymore.

As Xu Qing bowed, the Empress raised Her head and looked at the black mirror in the sky.

As Her gaze landed, it seemed as if thousands of riders were charging, beacon fires were raging, mountains and rivers were being shattered, and everything converged… at the center of the mirror’s surface.

This gaze contained power, causing the black mirror in the sky to reverberate. It also held profound mysteries, and at the center of the black mirror where the Empress’ gaze was focused, a white dot suddenly appeared.

This white dot was like the sun in the dark night.

The moment it appeared, it shone with endless white light. This light spread out and tore through the night, sweeping through the mirror with an unstoppable aura.

Wherever it passed, the outlines that were imprinted in the mirror instantly dissipated.

The mountains, rivers, lakes, even the ground, as well as Xu Qing’s blurry figure were forcefully erased at this instant.

The black mirror also turned white!

As all the outlines disappeared, the scene reversed in the 500,000 kilometers of area and all the mountains and rivers returned!

This was a battle between Lu Lingzi and that unknown Ruler.

No one asked for an explanation.

Almost at the instant the mirror surface turned white, a cold snort echoed in the sky. The huge mirror shattered into pieces. The whiteness of each mirror fragments instantly turned black again and the figure of a middle-aged man appeared in each of them.

Under the refraction from countless mirror fragments, this figure gathered in the sky.

That was… the Seventeenth Ruler of the West Demon Feather!

He was also the master of West Demon Child.

He stared at the Empress. After that, he flicked his sleeve and endless black snow appeared around him.

The Empress’ expression was as calm as ever. Her forehead split open, revealing a blood eye.

The instant this eye appeared, the sky churned and a blood-red sun rose behind the Seventeenth Ruler.

Immediately after, the Empress calmly spoke.

Xue Chenzi, my authority is the wind. Do you know what the next level of the wind authority is like?”

Xu Qing took a deep breath and shook his head.

The Empress calmly answered.

“Qi has weight. So does the wind.”

“Just like this.”

The Empress raised her hand and pressed down.

Immediately, the blood-red sun behind the Seventeenth Ruler turned blurry. After that, all the air in this 500,000-kilometer area was controlled at this instant and came from all directions.

The range was still spreading. In the blink of an eye, it exceeded 500,000 kilometers, reaching 5 million… and their flow formed wind.

In an instant, the whole area was filled with a terrifying storm. However, the true killing power wasn’t the storm but… the weight of air. these weights all pressed down on the Seventeenth Ruler, causing his expression to change drastically. He couldn’t resist or dodge. Under this absolute power and the deeper level of authority, his body actually was forcibly pushed to the ground.

As the ground trembled, his body fell as though it was being suppressed. No matter how he struggled, he couldn’t move at all.

An even more astonishing scene appeared at this moment.

Under this extreme effect, the air that gathered on his body actually forcefully broke through his defense and entered his body, causing the Seventeenth Ruler to let out a heart-rending cry.

Countless wounds instantly appeared on his body but no blood flowed out. All the blood was gushing inwards.

It was incomparably miserable.

Lu Lingzi displayed terrifying might.

This was the first time he showed his might in the West Demon Feather!

It shocked everyone!
