Dominating Martial King

He nodded, and together with Lu Luanti, proceeded upward.

At that moment, a resonant bell sound echoed once again from outside the palace platform.

Instantly, all the palace maids, guards, and Yin Soldiers inside and outside the stone hall had their soul bodies twisted, emitting painful groans.

Si Huangquan’s complexion turned pale, and she cast a cold gaze towards the outside of the hall.

Undoubtedly, this was an insult to her.

She had already decided to summon the Hundred Ghosts Inspection, yet the Yama Bell was relentless.

Si Huangquan was no longer in the mood to proceed with the upcoming ceremony.

Once Chu Xisheng was seated, Si Huangquan raised a hand and waved: "All personnel and ceremonial instruments are ready, so let’s begin."

Snake Bone Witch Xian Yue frowned deeply.

The ceremony’s process wasn’t like this.

Just before Xian Yue opened her mouth to advise, Si Huangquan shook her head slightly: "The pomp and circumstance cannot earn respect; today, strong enemies are at the gate, no matter how grand this ceremony of succession is, it cannot drive away the malicious guests and adversaries outside, nor protect the people of the Yin Dynasty in the Battle Wind Realm."

She stood up tall, moved to the center of the Imperial Platform, and stood firm.

The wings behind Si Huangquan spread to their fullest extent.

However, the Yin Vein Wings had undergone some transformations compared to before.

Their veins were more orderly, despite still being irregularly shaped, unlike the previous chaotic tangles.

Si Huangquan’s eyes also turned crimson gold at that moment.

Her gaze penetrated layers of void, then she raised a hand and beckoned.

Instantly, a golden, illusory gate appeared before her.

Those present, including Snake Bone Witch Xian Yue, Shen Tu, Yu Lei, Wu Fa, No Heaven, and numerous guards and maids, along with many Yin Soldiers and Yin Generals, all gazed towards that illusory gate involuntarily.

As the gate gradually opened, Si Huangquan raised her hand and grabbed forward, holding a black flag about thirty feet high.

The flagpole was made of bone, the flag was black overall, embroidered with gold thread, and the material was unknown, emitting a faint glow, exuding a textured presence.

With Si Huangquan grasping the flag, the few living beings here, including Chu Xisheng, felt some pressure in their Primordial Spirits, resembling that of the Netherworld King Bell.

However, many Yin Spirits present, including Shen Tu and Yu Lei, involuntarily knelt to the ground.

Most of them lowered their heads, incapable of looking directly at the Imperial Platform.

Chu Xisheng thought this must be the ’Ten Thousand Bone Soul Devouring Banner’.

Although the name was eerie, like a Demon Path Magical Treasure, the ’Ten Thousand Bone Soul Devouring Banner’ itself bore no sanguinary, sinister aura; rather, it gleamed like jade, with its righteous, dignified emanation.

Aside from the ’Ten Thousand Bone Soul Devouring Banner’, there were many other things inside that golden illusory gate.

Si Huangquan first took out a set of full-body armor, and the moment she touched it, the armor transformed into a black metallic liquid covering her entire body.

Chu Xisheng gazed with envy.

The armor Si Huangquan wore was not only of Lower Eternal Level but also of Country Suppressing Level quality, capable of suppressing a country’s Qi Fortune with its War Armor!

Its capabilities were extremely potent, its practicality surpassing many Middle Eternal Level Divine Artifacts.

Si Huangquan then extracted two sealed bright yellow scrolls from the golden illusory gate, along with two sets of impressively majestic armor, one red and one black.

Chu Xisheng observed their material, seemingly forged from indestructible Daluo Divine Gold.

He nearly drooled.

No wonder she ruled the Yin Dynasty for tens of thousands of years; the wealth of the Yin Queen was tantalizingly bountiful.

If he and Chu Yunyun possessed such armor, their defense capabilities could be enhanced at least two to three times.

Si Huangquan regarded the two sets of armor with a complex expression.

She swiftly waved her sleeve, using True Yuan to lift and send the armor and scrolls to Shen Tu and Yu Lei’s side.

"These are mother’s tailored armor for you, and a testament for me to deliver to you. And Witch Xian Lady, mother also has a testament and gifts for you."

Shen Tu and Yu Lei gazed at the armor before them, their eyes incredulous.

"Please allow us to be excused, Your Majesty!"

They simultaneously opened the scrolls, and moments later, their soul bodies quivered uncontrollably.

No one knew what was written in the scrolls, causing such intense emotional upheaval,

Snake Bone Witch Xian Yue was the same.

What Si Huangquan granted her was a silver white Treasure Bead.

Xian Yue was very fond of this Treasure Bead, but she was more concerned about the testament scroll.

Moments later, Xian Yue’s soul body also trembled, prostrate on the ground.

Si Huangquan took several items from the gate, sending them one by one to Chu Xisheng and the other three.

"These are gifts prepared by mother for me, meant as thanks to the Master and all those who have helped me—"

While saying this, Si Huangquan suddenly froze, her gaze fixed inside the illusory gate.

Her pupils, shimmering with golden light, revealed disbelief.

Chu Xisheng, sitting nearby, could also see inside the illusory gate, equally wide-eyed and astounded.

"This can’t be!"

Lu Luanti first instinctively exclaimed, then seemed to grasp it, murmuring: "So that’s it! So that’s it! This explains everything."

She gazed at Si Huangquan with surprise.

No one expected this woman to hold such a noble identity.

Si Huangquan stared into the gate for a moment, then raised her hand, vigorously waving the ’Ten Thousand Bone Soul Devouring Banner’.

"I have succeeded the position, you Hundred Demons, why do you not swiftly come to pay tribute?"

Instantly, an immeasurable wave of soul power dispersed in all directions, penetrating layers of Crystal Wall.

At the same time, a loud laugh was heard from outside.

"The new master of the Yin Dynasty has succeeded, how could there be no guests observing? May the new master of the Yin Dynasty not begrudge us for coming uninvited."

At that instant, a black-robed elder, his face hidden within a cloak, directly broke through the layers of formation barriers of the palace platform and appeared inside the stone hall.

Behind the elder stood two Giant Spirits, towering at four hundred and fifty feet.

One was undoubtedly Star God Gu Chen; the other, with a tiger head and human body, was certainly Qiong Qi.

The black-robed elder glanced around, then directly walked towards the Imperial Platform,

Behind him, Star God Gu Chen immediately focused on Chu Xisheng, his gaze exceedingly cold: "Descend, yield your position!"

His words were succinct yet thunderous, reverberating through everyone’s ears and souls.

Chu Xisheng was meticulously examining the gifts Si Huangquan had given him.

It was a generous gift, no less prestigious than those pieces of armor.

Upon hearing, his eyes narrowed slightly, looking towards Star God Gu Chen with an amused, yet nonchalant expression.
