I Only Marry Widows

Accompanied by Lu Chengfeng's loud laughter, his entire person vanished like an illusionary bubble.

And in front of the Shenxiao Palace, a starlight descended, revealing the figure of Yi Hongchen. Following closely, the void beside her twisted, and Lu Chengfeng's body dropped out like a broken sack.

Bang!

An incomparably terrifying aura pressed down through the void, and even amidst the pressure, a faint angry tiger roar could be heard. A colossal claw descended immediately.

"Heh heh..." Lu Chengfeng's mouth was full of blood stains, yet there was no trace of pain or anger on his face.

Relying on physical power to endure a strike from the White Tiger Divine Venerate and using the pre-arranged Guardian True Spirit to teleport through the void and escape from the White Tiger Dojo—news of this would spread instantly across the Three Realms, making a name for himself.

The White Tiger Divine Venerate is a terrifying strong figure capable of battling the Supreme Celestial Venerate head-on, one of the most powerful leaders in the Three Realms.

Escaping under his eyelids, looking across the Three Realms, there are only a handful of people capable of such a feat.

Lu Chengfeng had not yet broken through to the Dharma Form stage, yet achieving this was something he could be proud of.

"Your Majesty, are you going to watch your minister being beaten to death right in front of your palace gates?"

Lu Chengfeng spoke, his tone filled with sarcasm. At the same time, the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Saber in his hand buzzed, and the Power of Time flowed, making the time around him seem frozen, flowing extremely slowly.

The gigantic claw reaching to the heavens paused suddenly, not crushing him to death directly.

With this momentary buffer, the Empress, who had been hiding in the Shenxiao Palace watching the commotion, couldn't help but snort coldly. It was one thing for her not to act just now, she could pretend it was too late, but if she let the White Tiger Divine Venerate kill someone, the rules of the Divine Court would become a joke.

No matter how much she resented and felt dissatisfied with Lu Chengfeng, she had to step in.

When she acted, it was not earth-shattering, she simply said: "In front of the Shenxiao Palace, do not act presumptuously."

With just a simple sentence, it was like the rules of heaven and earth; it instantly dispelled the terrifying power unleashed by the White Tiger Divine Venerate as if it were a breeze. The shattered void instantly mended.

Except for Lu Chengfeng standing in place covered in blood, the earth-shattering scene seemed as if it never occurred.

Even though Lu Chengfeng already knew the Empress's might, seeing the White Tiger Divine Venerate, who could force him into a desperate situation with a single blow, effortlessly repelled by the Empress, made his heart tremble.

He took a deep breath, Yi Hongchen transformed into a starlight and entered his body, then he made a respectful bow and shouted loudly: "Minister Nine Heavens Demon Subduing Venerate, has completed Your Majesty's secret command, coming to report."

"Enter." The Empress, sitting high in the hall, instructed with a somewhat chilly tone.

Divine Monarch Qingfeng, who had been guarding outside the hall, quickly stepped forward upon hearing this, looked at Lu Chengfeng with a somewhat peculiar expression, and said: "By the decree of Her Majesty, summon Nine Heavens Demon Subduing Venerate to enter the hall for an audience."

"Your servant obeys." Lu Chengfeng felt relieved; no matter what, as long as he could meet the Empress, the most difficult hurdle had been overcome.

In fact, if he had let Luo Suyi take the lead, there wouldn't have been so many twists and turns entering the Divine Court this time.

However, thinking of the future seen through divination, if Luo Suyi showed her face, the nauseating words spoken by 'Cyan Nether Celestial Venerable's' male concubines filled him with distaste.

So he would rather cause a commotion, rather face off with the White Tiger Divine Venerate, than let his woman be surrounded and subject to those disgusting words from those men.

Bang!

The doors of the Shenxiao Hall opened wide, and under the guidance of Divine Venerate Qingfeng, Lu Chengfeng stepped through the entrance.

The moment he stepped past the door, he felt as though he had entered another realm. There were no expected auspicious lights or various mystical phenomena; the hall all around was shrouded in Chaos Qi.

The hazy Chaos Qi filled every side, making the entire hall a blur, with only a faint silhouette visible, transcending beyond the Three Realms and outside the Five Elements, naturally possessing the aura to suppress the Ninth Layer, invincible in the world for one hundred thousand years.

Lu Chengfeng originally wanted to confirm if the Empress's reincarnated body was his junior sister Zhao Ling'Er, but given the current situation, he couldn't even discern the Empress's appearance, let alone confirm the identity of her reincarnation.

He felt a bit disappointed, but this scene was within expectation; after all, if the Empress's visage could be casually seen, it would be too much of an affront to heavenly majesty.

"Minister Nine Heavens Demon Subduing Venerate, bowing to Your Majesty."

The Empress had her back to him, and when she spoke, her voice was like the thunderous sound of creation, with intangible Tao Rhyme pervading, making Lu Chengfeng feel as if he was being judged, standing on the Immortal Slaying Platform, with the ability to slay immortals and gods hanging overhead, the cold and fierce aura sent shivers down his spine.

"Is this the majesty of the Great Emperor?" Lu Chengfeng indeed felt a sense of horror; just outside the hall, with only a word, the Empress repelled the White Tiger Divine Venerate, and now with her voice, he felt his Divine Soul and physical body trembling.

He had an intuitive feeling that if the Empress wished to kill him, she would only need a word, and he would be shattered in body and soul, dead on the spot.

There would be no battle, nor any need to lift a finger.

Seeing just that silhouette, it was as if he saw another world... no, not another world, but a god more magnificent than the entire Three Realms, supporting the Ninth Layer Heaven.
