Empress Chi Yao, upon hearing that the Alliance Army of Myriad Dynasties had been defeated by Wang Xiaoqiang's Plant Armor Soldiers and had subsequently surrendered, found herself in shock and despair.
Previously, she had never anticipated that Wang Xiaoqiang, a guy from the Outer Plane, could actually confront her and overthrow her imperial rule. Now, the facts were laid before her, giving her a sense of surrealism and a profound feeling of humiliation and defeat.
As the ruler of the Ancient Continent, she certainly couldn't be a coward at this time, especially since there was no need to be. Wang Xiaoqiang might be strong, but he was only in the Great Power Realm; she was a Great Sage, her realm surpassing Wang Xiaoqiang.
Though Wang Xiaoqiang possessed the forces of the entire Ancient Continent, for experts of their level, those soldiers were essentially clouds and were useless.
In fact, Empress Chi Yao was contemplating using her Tongue-Bursting Golden Lotus Technique to turn his soldiers against him. Hence, three days ago, upon hearing Wang Xiaoqiang declare war against her, she was already prepared.
Today was the day of battle.
Instead of letting Wang Xiaoqiang come to her, she came directly. As Wang Xiaoqiang marshaled his troops, Empress Chi Yao had already arrived, riding a pet beast resembling a Vermilion Bird. Though small, this pet beast had very large, powerful wings that thundered with each flap, exuding an extraordinary aura.
Interestingly, Empress Chi Yao was not wearing a dragon robe. Truth be told, without a single soldier, she would be a lone leader wearing the dragon robe as a disgrace, so she donned plain clothes instead, with her long, raven-black hair elegantly piled high.
She was seated gracefully atop the beast, exuding an ethereal and majestic presence, her beauty unparalleled.
Since no one had previously seen Empress Chi Yao, and because she was not wearing a dragon robe nor a crown, at first glance, no one recognized her until they saw the Writings of the Sages swirling around her, confirming her identity as Empress Chi Yao.
For in the Ancient Continent, she was the sole one at the Great Sage Realm.
Upon seeing Empress Chi Yao's face, any man, any normal man would be directly smitten. More than half of the entire army fainted, her beauty was so overwhelming that she could render them senseless without resorting to any Bewitching Technique.
Empress Chi Yao's arrival greatly surprised Wang Xiaoqiang, as well as the entire military.
The Top Ten Divine Spirits immediately flew up to surround Empress Chi Yao, adopting a stance of combat.
Empress Chi Yao remained calm, uttering no words, seemingly disinterested in speaking. Her pet beast saw this and emitted a derisive laugh, "Hehe, little minions, step back. Your cultivation could never match up to Chi Yao."
Wang Xiaoqiang's Patterned Beast, having reached the Great Power Realm, still could not speak, yet Empress Chi Yao's pet beast spoke, attesting to its extraordinariness or Empress Chi Yao's strength.
But from its tone, calling Empress Chi Yao by name directly, it seemed to lack the reverence a servant would exhibit towards a master, raising a peculiar thought that perhaps this pet beast was not Chi Yao's pet beast, or maybe, it was not a beast at all but a human??
Evidently, the latter claim holds no ground. Since many beasts can speak, the transformation of humans into beasts is still a rarity.
However, the voice of that pet beast distinctly differed from that of normal beasts. Wang Xiaoqiang had heard many beastly voices, yet none like this; this beast's voice sounded distinctly human.
Wang Xiaoqiang seeing the peculiarity in the pet beast, waved his hand to the Top Ten Divine Spirits, "You all retreat."
The Top Ten Divine Spirits immediately backed away.
Wang Xiaoqiang's willpower shifted, and his Patterned Beast flew out below him. He jumped onto its back; the Patterned Beast flew up to face Empress Chi Yao. Ordinarily, his Patterned Beast roared when confronting foes, but this time, facing Empress Chi Yao's pet beast, it did not roar; Wang Xiaoqiang could sense the Patterned Beast's fear.
To cause fear in a beast at the Great Power Fifth Dharma Realm level, what sort of existence could this be? Clearly, it was not Empress Chi Yao causing fear in the Patterned Beast.
Wang Xiaoqiang's Divine Sense scanned Empress Chi Yao's pet beast, and his Heavenly Eye also scanned it, yet found no anomalies.
While Wang Xiaoqiang scrutinized the beast, it was also observing him. Its eyes lacked brilliance, appearing dull and aged, yet conveyed wisdom and experience, those eyes gave Wang Xiaoqiang an eerie feeling, he felt they were human eyes.
These eyes gave him a shiver down his spine.
No wonder the Patterned Beast was afraid,
This pet beast truly was extraordinary.
As Wang Xiaoqiang lifted his gaze from the pet beast, and fixed it on Empress Chi Yao, Chi Yao was astounded by Wang Xiaoqiang's steadfastness and discernment because had it been other men, they would definitely look first at her, the enchanting beauty, instead of the pet beast beneath her.
Yet Wang Xiaoqiang did not, his gaze first fell upon the pet beast beneath her, gaining Chi Yao's slight favor.
Gazing at Empress Chi Yao's face, a beauty too exquisite for adjectives, Wang Xiaoqiang's heart surged with admiration, "Wow, in this Ancient Continent, there's such a beautiful woman, what Taiyin Body, Mystic Yin Body are mere clouds, before Empress Chi Yao those women cannot even be considered women."
His expression remained calm as he smiled, "Compared to your pet beast, I prefer to look at you, but a woman's beauty is not worth dissecting, whereas your pet beast, more intriguing."
Empress Chi Yao hadn't expected Wang Xiaoqiang to say such words, such a philosophical yet incisive remark, indeed beauty is mere beauty, however enchanting it is superficial, not worth dissecting, but the mysterious enigma is what provokes deep contemplation.
"Hmph, young man, it seems your rise to this point, capable of contending with Chi Yao, is not merely by luck." Before Empress Chi Yao spoke, the pet beast again spoke with a tone of seasoned experience.
Wang Xiaoqiang felt even more peculiar hearing this, his gaze sliding away from Chi Yao's enthralling face to fall upon the eyes of the pet beast, he laughed, "Seems I can't refer to you as beast anymore, who could address Empress Chi Yao by name and still merely be a pet beast..."
Upon hearing this, Empress Chi Yao's expression slightly changed and the pet beast beneath her laughed, "Haha, you could call me grandpa without exaggeration, my age surpasses your grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather..."
The voice of that pet beast turned disdainful, derisive as if no matter Wang Xiaoqiang's excellence, before it he seemed merely an immature child.
"Pshaw, don't try to condescend with your age, you may age but still beneath a woman's command, when I subjugate that woman beneath me, wouldn't you be beneath me too? Hahaha~~~~" Wang Xiaoqiang burst into hearty laughter, full of bravado.
