Chapter 173 The Emperor's Approval
"Xiaoxue, what is your request?" the Emperor asked with a smile and a kind tone.
Standing before the Emperor, Ye Chuxue tilted her head slightly, her gaze clear and firm as she looked at him, and asked, "Uncle Song, I would like to ask, how do you plan to deal with those countries that dare to attack us?"
Upon hearing this, the Emperor's expression instantly turned serious. He snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! Of course, they will repay what they owe us tenfold! Anyone who dares to provoke us will pay a heavy price!"
As he spoke, the Emperor exuded a powerful aura that sent chills down everyone's spine.
However, Ye Chuxue was not intimidated by the Emperor's imposing aura. She took a deep breath and spoke again, "Uncle Song, I would like to personally lead a team to complete this arduous task."
Upon hearing Ye Chuxue's words, the Emperor was astonished. He never expected that this seemingly weak woman would volunteer to take on such a heavy responsibility.
The Emperor frowned, looking at Ye Chuxue with a worried expression, and advised, "Xiaoxue, this is no small matter. War is cruel and ruthless, full of countless dangers and variables. How can I let you take such a risk?"
Despite the Emperor's concern and dissuasion, Ye Chuxue showed no sign of backing down. She straightened her body, her gaze still fixed firmly on the Emperor, and slowly said, "Uncle Song, it is precisely because I am well aware of the difficulties and dangers of this mission and the enormous risks that may exist that I am even more determined to go."
Moreover, this rare opportunity allows me to prove my abilities and establish a higher level of prestige and status in front of others.
The Emperor gazed silently at Ye Chuxue's resolute face, pondering to himself.
Indeed, as Ye Chuxue said, this may indeed be an excellent opportunity, but at the same time it is also a great challenge.
After all, given Ye Chuxue's current cultivation level—the God Emperor Realm—if she were to encounter a powerful enemy, such as a Saint Realm or even a Divine Soul Realm expert, she would likely find it difficult to cope.
After pondering for a moment, the Human Emperor slowly raised his head, his gaze falling on the graceful Ye Chuxue in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Little Xue, it is not impossible for you to go, but before that, you must show your true strength."
Upon hearing the Emperor's words, a look of surprise flashed in Ye Chuxue's beautiful eyes. She responded almost without hesitation, "Okay, Uncle Song!" Her voice was clear and firm, as if she was full of confidence in the test to come.
The Emperor simply raised one hand, and with this simple movement, a mysterious restriction suddenly appeared in the courtyard.
The Emperor smiled and explained, "This restriction contains a wisp of my divine power. Fighting within it will absolutely not cause any damage to the external environment."
If you can withstand my attacks for the duration of an incense stick burning, then you will have successfully passed this test.
Ye Chuxue nodded solemnly, then moved swiftly, leaping into the barrier like a graceful fairy in flight.
After gaining a firm footing, she quickly formed hand seals. At the same time, a faint blue light began to emanate from her body. The light flickered and flowed, resembling the frost that had solidified on an ice lake, pure and beautiful.
Seeing this, the Emperor smiled slightly and then stepped into the restriction.
At this moment, his gaze towards Ye Chuxue held not only a hint of expectation but also a subtle, almost imperceptible scrutiny.
Just then, someone lit an incense stick, and wisps of smoke rose up and slowly drifted away in the air.
As the wisp of green smoke appeared, the Human Emperor launched the first attack.
He casually waved his hand, and in an instant, a dazzling golden light shot towards Ye Chuxue like an arrow.
Faced with the Human Emperor's fierce attack, Ye Chuxue remained calm and composed. She lightly touched the ground with her toes, and her entire body spun rapidly like a top, easily avoiding the golden light that shot towards her.
Immediately afterwards, she thrust her right hand forward, and a chilling blue ice spike shot out, heading straight for the Human Emperor.
The Emperor dodged to the side, followed by a series of palm strikes. Although Ye Chuxue was on the defensive, she skillfully deflected each attack.
As time went by, the incense had burned more than halfway.
Knowing she could no longer rely solely on defense, Ye Chuxue let out a delicate shout, unleashing her full spiritual power, which seemed to freeze the surrounding space.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Chuxue's white, cascading down like a waterfall, gradually transformed into a deep blue at a speed visible to the naked eye, like the most mysterious color of the deep ocean.
At the same time, her originally clear and bright eyes began to undergo an astonishing change, gradually transitioning from a pure blue to a captivating and mysterious purplish-blue, as if two dazzling gems were set on her exquisite face.
At this moment, Ye Chuxue was surrounded by violent lightning, crackling and popping, like countless silver snakes dancing in the air.
As these thunderbolts raged, the surrounding air temperature dropped sharply, and there were even faint signs of frost forming.
Just then, pieces of armor gleaming with a cold light quietly appeared on her body, clinging tightly to her graceful curves, like an indestructible armor.
Even more peculiarly, silver patterns appeared on one side of Ye Chuxue's face, these patterns were like ancient runes, radiating a mysterious light; while the other half of her face was covered with blue patterns, echoing her color-changing hair, making her appear even more cold and noble.
At this moment, Ye Chuxue had simultaneously activated the two incredibly powerful forms of Blue-Eyed Empress and Thunder God's Descent. The terrifying aura emanating from her body swept out like a surging tide, instantly soaring to an astonishing level, almost infinitely close to the legendary Divine Soul Realm, and even leaping across two entire major levels at once!
Upon seeing this, the Emperor's expression of admiration vanished instantly, replaced by shock.
However, before he could react further, a sharp whistling sound ripped through the sky, and a chain of ice, flashing with dazzling lightning, hurtled towards him like lightning.
Upon seeing this, the Emperor dared not be negligent in the slightest and immediately stretched out his hands to try to block the oncoming ice chain.
However, the moment the ice chain touched the Emperor's palm, something unexpected happened—the ice chain instantly shattered into countless tiny fragments, scattering in all directions!
"Clang!" Just then, a huge shield suddenly rose out of thin air behind the Human Emperor, its surface shimmering with light and flashing runes.
The shield blocked Ye Chuxue's follow-up longsword strike in time, producing a deafening impact sound.
Seeing her attacks being repeatedly neutralized by the opponent, Ye Chuxue felt a chill run down her spine and quickly retreated, widening the distance between herself and the Human Emperor.
Her beautiful eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief, clearly not expecting that the Human Emperor could so easily withstand her fierce attack.
The next moment, her eyes shone even brighter.
Ye Chuxue's figure vanished from the spot in an instant. With the support of her dual forms, Ye Chuxue used the Frost Celestial Body Technique, increasing her speed even further.
However, in the eyes of the Human Emperor, Ye Chuxue's speed was indeed a little slow.
He was about to make a move to defend himself when he found himself unable to move.
"Oh no! We've fallen into a trap!" The Emperor thought with alarm.
The moment Ye Chuxue took action, she released her boundary, sealing off everything around her. Combined with the Frost Domain amplification field and the Ice Abyss Rift Tiger control effect, she managed to control the Human Emperor for a full second.
One second later, Ye Chuxue's spear was already close to the Human Emperor.
Left with no other choice, the Human Emperor could only unleash his oppressive aura, and Ye Chuxue was instantly sent flying.
The Emperor was about to rescue Ye Chuxue, but the next moment...
A dagger was pressed against the Emperor's body, and then Ye Chuxue's playful voice came over: "Uncle Song, you lost."
