Chapter 373: 373: The Empress

The shadow of the figure that was floating in the air overlapped the gaping onlookers below. Though there was not a single amount of aura exuding out from the said figure, all of them felt the suffocating atmosphere. There was not a threat visible nor could it be felt, only awe. It only took them a single glance to know who that was even when they couldn't even see the figure's face.

All the experts and the sect master looked above. Even the arrival of the Throne winner lost its splendor, however, the latter didn't mind. She instead smiled before leaping off her falcon. Landing on her mana imbued boots, she made a soft walk forward while looking above with her purple lips pointed upward. 

(It seemed like I was too late, though not by far) thought Yunesia. She was about to see Lyon's reaction to revealing herself in the flesh but it seemed like it had to wait. There was a person floating above that stole all of her glory, however, she never cared for the title of the Throne in the first place. For her, the knowledge of the mysterious plane was worth much more, her curiosity triumphed her pride by miles until she met the Young Emperor himself. 

The youth that was now in someone else's arm was the one she wanted to study. She felt the boundless knowledge was hidden behind those aloof expressions of his. She saw how unbelievable he was during the trial of the Throne, especially destroying the Golden Wise Tree, the supposed omniscient being that provided knowledge to struggling cultivators.

(They won't believe that the guy actually killed, no, destroyed the famous Golden Wise Tree) thought the woman with a light chuckle before she furrowed her eyebrows. The jolly of seeing the youth above almost made her forgot about her surroundings. She knew the tremor was at a worldwide scale however, she couldn't even recognize the city she used to walk on it before as she took notice. No buildings in sight were still standing nor were they intact, everything was flattened except the people.

Even the genius of the magic craft couldn't help but gulped before she furrowed her eyebrows and took a glance against the huge crater. One middle-aged man had his eyes opened wide in disbelief with his bones appeared to be broken, some might even grinded along with the ground. The worse shape of any cultivator's life was the image of what the latter was experiencing. 

(He looks, kind of familiar... wait a minute, where is Kaiju?) before she could find the answer, another expert came with a bitter face. The chuckling old master was chuckling no more as he landed on the ground with his bare feet. The gust of wind made his beards slightly swayed however his student was choking from the definitive destruction that was left in his wake. 

"Kh! *gulp... what happened?"

Tusak forced the question out of his throat. Seeing the magnificent destruction of such scale was not an everyday occurrence, especially since he always trained inside his sect. Even armies would take days to flatten a city that was basically its own island. He couldn't believe that this was done by the youth of his generation, not to mention a youth with just a Divine Realm cultivator. Not even a god.

"S- s- soo... this is what my instinct was warning me about... hehe...." he wryly chuckled as cold sweat started to pour down from his forehead. 

*PAK!

He felt a slap on his back before he took a glance at his master who was looking at the huge crater. The latter definitely noticed how East City was no more, the fate of the land depended on mother nature now. 

"Don't get discouraged, you have your own problem to solve and you won't solve it by watching someone else's achievement... or... destruction."

Even though the motivating words reached his ears, they didn't reach his heart as he saw his own master was heaving the same cold sweat as his.

"I remember now... that guy, is one of the sect elders from the Loh Sect," muttered Yunesia as she looked around and seeing the worried face of the experts. It seemed that they too know the identity of the suffered one. However, there was nothing that could undo what already happened. His deed was amazing to the point that not a single demeaning word was heard, however, the sect elders, the experts, the patriarchs, held their intention of recruiting the talented youth after recognizing the one on the center of the crater.

She squinted her eyes before she noticed a familiar scrab from a white garb on the hand of the middle-aged man. She immediately realized what happened to Kaiju. His fate was already sealed long before she could have arrived here. 

"Godhood, level five, was obliterated by a Divine Realm. Death without mercy, death without burial."

"Curious..." Yunesia smiled instead of mourning like some who thought that they have lost one of the greatest talents from the mortal world. 

Meanwhile, Jugen was all smiles seeing the gobsmacked expression of the onlookers. His big brother never failed to amaze him and even more, strangers. When people doubt them, they were bound to be surprised. His seemingly low cultivation level was like a lure to the bullies who willingly take a bite.

However, the spectacle of the figure above brought various faces of expressions amongst the women of the group.

The two sisters were looking with their mouths slightly gape while Princess Aelina kept blinking while doing the same. Karina furrowed her eyebrows before she took a glance at her trembling hands then darted back above. 

Even Ryona the most active one out of the group was heaving her heart raced. She felt lost in all of her aspects of beauty the moment she saw the figure above. She felt completely beaten and for the first time in her life, she felt the world was unfair, she even grabbed her breasts but only tears coming out of them as she glanced at her overseer.

*Fuuuhhh...

A smoke was gently blown out from Kyoko's delicious lips after she let go of her long pipe. The maturity she exuded along with her azure hair that even beat the beauty of the sky was a deadly combo for men. Her fox ears and the fluffy tails from her bloodline were brimming, however, her blue and red eye was the most captivating jewel in the world.

Her eyelids were half-closed as she looked above. Her azure blue eyebrows creased as she muttered.

"That woman... she is dangerous."

It's been a while since Kyoko said something so deadly and serious in her tone. Hearing the words that coming out of her lips and not even a single howl of Fenrir, only cemented the truth. Speaking of the little wolf, he was seen hiding behind the reliable Jugen with his tails waggling. His paws were tensed and ready to run away at any given time but his face still peeked above to see his master.

"No kidding..."

The lady that was known as godmother even crossed her arm with a wry smile. Coming from the bloodline of royalty she had heard the fame many times. Her eyes were sharp as she looked at the figure above. For some reason, she felt threatened but not her life, it was something else.

The one dubbed to be the strongest mortal woman alive. The one with the most gifted talent as a cultivator, even painting was a skill she also excelled at. Rarely shown herself in public yet the name spread far and wide. Ruling from behind the scene, she rarely schemes against the other kingdoms nor does her actions proved that she cared. Never gave a face to anyone, not even one of the famous families in the world, Treas, yet suffered no consequences.

Yunesia, the name was known among the higher-ups for her talent in magic was subpar but even she fell short against the star of the mortal. The moon could only act as a mirror when she was present. Every young woman, aspiring female cultivators, wanted to be like her.

Yunesia smiled, "She didn't even come to the Summit of Generation, she didn't even care about the place where Garuda had suffered. The woman who everyone was thought to live in solitude, finally gets out of the 'room' to catch a young man falling from the sky. The people had waited to see your beauty and you showed it in an unusual way. So many suitors wanted to take your hand in marriage, the numbers could compete with the sum of the stars at night, yet you rejected them flat. Not even those coming from Heaven themselves did you bat an eye."

She gulped as she said those words before grinning, "The most powerful and beautiful woman that ever walked on this mortal world..."

She suddenly took a knee as she looked above, "The Empress, Cecile!"
