Chapter 52: The Scarlet Ruler, Aiming At The Ninth Princess, The First Daughter Is Birth

In the blood-colored palace, lights stood tall.

Those were Primordial Spirit lights, and each light symbolized a powerful assassin.

But at this moment, one of the lights exploded, immediately alerting the presence guarding this palace.

"Number 30 is dead. Wasn't he supposed to be on standby in the True Saint Continent? Who killed him?"

The voice revealed a hint of surprise, and then it looked over with its gaze.

What could be seen in the light was a name floating, Su Changsheng.

In addition, a blurry figure also appeared, wearing a starry robe, an extraordinary young man who looked exactly like Su Changsheng.

"Su Changsheng? So young. Which Saint King is he? Is he a hidden expert from the Extreme Beginning Sect?"

In the darkness, the voice exclaimed in surprise.

Dah, dah, dah...

Immediately after, footsteps could be heard in the darkness. A young man with a handsome face and dressed in black walked out. He had white hair and looked young, but his eyes revealed a strong sense of governing.

There was also a faint aura of aging emanating from his body.

Clearly, he was already quite old. Although his appearance remained youthful, the decaying aura on his body could not be concealed.

This was completely different from Su Changsheng's youthfulness.

The young man was very surprised.

Number 30's strength was extraordinary. He was a Saint at the Fifth Heaven, and coupled with his dark assassin techniques, even a Ninth Heaven would not be able to kill him.

To kill him and prevent him from escaping, at least a Saint King would be needed.

But when did the True Saint Continent produce such a young Saint King?

Could it be someone hidden from the Extreme Beginning Sect?

"Forget it, the existence of Number 30 is related to that plan. I should report to the Lord!"

The young man pondered for a moment and decided to report.

Although the Heavenly Kingdom would not seek revenge for assassins, Number 30 was special. Not only did he have good potential and the possibility of further improvement, but he was also related to that plan.

He was afraid that something unexpected would happen.

"Boom!"

Thinking like this, the white-haired youth formed a hand seal and a terrifying and awe-inspiring holy aura radiated from him, far surpassing countless Saints.

A "kingly" aura permeated the air.

That was the terrifying power of a Saint King, someone who had condensed the laws of the holy path to the extreme and forged their own path, only one step away from creating their own system of scriptures.

The white-haired youth before him was undoubtedly a Saint King, and his cultivation level was extremely high.

"Buzz..."

In the void, a black hole appeared, exuding a dreadful aura that seemed capable of devouring 180,000 spirits, even the laws themselves, causing even the Saint King to tremble in fear.

Boom!

This black hole was incredibly deep, connecting to an unknown place where a pair of blood-red eyes appeared, grand and majestic, making even the stars seem as insignificant as dust before them.

"Number Three, why have you summoned me?"

Those blood-red eyes looked over, and their voice rolled forth, shaking the void and causing the black hole to tremble.

"Master, Number Thirty has fallen, killed by someone!" The white-haired youth lowered his head, showing a respectful expression as he reported.

"Number Thirty is dead?"

Upon hearing this, the voice of those blood-red eyes rose, a trace of power spreading out, making the white-haired youth feel as if he were in a raging sea of anger, his face pale, and at any moment he could be swallowed up.

This filled him with shock.

The power of the Master was becoming more and more terrifying.

Even though he was not far from becoming a Great Saint, in front of the Master, he was still as insignificant as an ant.

Great Saints were truly terrifying, capable of wiping out hundreds or even thousands of Saint Kings with a flick of their finger.

Saints were the top powerhouses in a continent, towering above all and ruling over a region.

Saint Kings were the overlords of a continent, able to establish Ancient Clans, and in a divine realm, they could barely be considered top-tier powerhouses.

But Great Saints, in the divine realm, were the true top powerhouses, known as giants.

Any one of them can stir up the world, even take control of a Sacred Land and become an Ancestor, or establish a force within a Sacred Land.

The difference between them is like night and day.

"Who killed him?"

Those blood-colored eyes spoke coldly. He didn't care about the death of the thirtieth person. In his eyes, a dead person was just trash, not worth paying attention to, no matter how extraordinary they were.

But the thirtieth person was involved in the plan. Although not important, their exposure could jeopardize the entire plan.

How could he not be angry?

"Master, the person who killed the thirtieth person is named Su Changsheng. I believe it is possible that he is a powerful member of the Extreme Beginning Sect," the white-haired youth respectfully said.

He had never left this palace and had not paid attention to external news, so he did not know about Su Changsheng and mistakenly thought he was a member of the Extreme Beginning Sect. This was only natural because in the True Saint Continent, only the Extreme Beginning Sect could cultivate powerful Saint Kings.

"Extreme Beginning Sect? Aren't they neutral? Why would they make a move against the thirtieth person? Could it be an accident?" Upon hearing this, the blood-colored eyes also showed some confusion.

He had never heard of Su Changsheng and had no interest in a small True Saint Continent. As a giant figure, his gaze was focused on the entire Chaos Kun Divine Domain, and even other divine domains. A continent was not worth a second glance.

Although Su Changsheng had a great reputation, in the eyes of the Great Saint powerhouses, he was nothing more than an ant, not worth paying attention to.

"Well, a thirtieth person can't influence the overall situation. When the various forces make their move together, no matter how powerful that Ninth Princess is, she won't be able to escape death," the blood-colored eyes muttered to themselves.

"Master, that Ninth Princess is too noble. Is it too dangerous for her to participate in that plan?" Upon hearing the muttering of the blood-colored eyes, the white-haired youth's heart trembled, and cold sweat broke out on his face.

Even though he was a Saint King, a powerhouse close to the level of a Great Saint, every time he heard the Master mention that Ninth Princess, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

That Ninth Princess was the most beloved child of the Emperor. Even a Quasi-Emperor powerhouse or even a Supreme could be crushed to pieces if they made a move against her.

And the master of our own household, unexpectedly wants to participate in the plan and hunt down the Ninth Princess together. How audacious and daring.

"You don't understand, the emperor is about to abdicate, and he is preparing to select the next successor. All the imperial children who participate in this will not receive the emperor's protection!"

"Do you know, this is our kingdom's opportunity. If we want to truly rise and become the top power in the Everlasting Heaven Realm, this is the only chance!"

"This is the path of the dragon. Once successful, our kingdom will become the top killer Sacred Land!"

Those blood-red eyes looked over, and the voice was low.

"Not only our kingdom, but Scarlet Forging Demon Palace and the Celestial Beast Hall will also take action. Of course, we Great Saints will not personally take action, as the karmic consequences would be too great and would anger that person!"

"However, even though we won't take action, as long as we stop the protectors of the Ninth Princess, and then have a group of Saints, plus a few Saint Kings, it should be successful!"

The blood-red eyes explained.

The white-haired youth's heart was shaken, causing a stormy sea to surge.

So that emperor is about to abdicate, and in order to choose a suitable successor, he allows his children to fight and compete, to determine the strongest among them.

This includes the Ninth Princess.

And once involved in the battle for the throne, they will no longer receive the emperor's protection. The strong representatives of various factions can support a certain imperial child in their struggle, or they can take action against them.

The forces of the kingdom, Scarlet Forging Demon Palace, and others are supporting a certain imperial child and planning to take action against the Ninth Princess.

Of course, there are restrictions. Great Saint powerhouses cannot personally take action, and there cannot be too many Saint Kings.

Otherwise, it would not be a test, but a massacre.

After all, a Great Saint is too terrifying, completely overwhelming for the younger generation, not even on the same level of existence.

This kind of test would be meaningless.

"This plan may succeed or fail, but for the future of our kingdom, I must give it a try!" Those blood-red eyes said lightly.

"I understand, I will follow the master to the death!" The white-haired youth knelt on the ground, respectfully saying.

"Well, since Number 30 is dead, let's send another Saint King over!" Those blood-red eyes ordered, then muttered to himself.

"It's a pity that the emperor is still watching. With his gaze, this trial won't reach its most brutal stage for now!"

"This plan is just an attempt, and we don't expect it to be successful. There will be opportunities in the future!"

After speaking, those blood-colored eyes disappeared, leaving only the white-haired youth.

"The opportunity for rise..."

The white-haired youth murmured, and soon his gaze became firm. He raised his hand and called out.

"=ts..."

He said in a low voice.

True Saint Continent, Myriad Manifestations City, Su Family.

"Qingge, do you have the means to control the remnant soul of an ancient powerhouse, possibly a Great Emperor?"

In a palace of the Su Family, Su Changsheng asked. Beside him, Gu Qingge, with a pregnant belly, had a delicate and beautiful face that showed a hint of maturity.

Although she looked like a young girl, she exuded the charm of a mature woman.

"Ancient Great Emperor?"

Upon hearing Su Changsheng's words, Gu Qingge turned her head and looked at him with a strange gaze.

"What, did you provoke another hidden old monster?"

The ancient era was a long period of more than a billion years ago. The Great Emperors of that era had profound and unfathomable methods, possibly even more terrifying than the present.

Even Gu Qingge, who could be called invincible among emperors, wouldn't dare to claim invincibility in the ancient era.

Of course, if she were to be reborn and ascend to the throne again, she would have the confidence to be invincible.

Moreover, in this life, she was determined to follow the path of the Heavenly Emperor, breaking through the Immortal Realm with unparalleled combat power and becoming an immortal against the heavens.

However, all of this had to wait until her child was born. This annoying Su Changsheng was always considerate, not caring about her body at all.

Fortunately, he had found someone else recently, otherwise she would have been exhausted.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingge glared at Su Changsheng with embarrassment, leaving him somewhat puzzled.

"Cough, it's like this..."

Su Changsheng cleared his throat and then revealed the news about the ancient Heavenly Emperor's concubine who was sleeping in the ring given to him by An Miaoyi.

After all, it involves the ancient Heavenly Emperor, whose methods are unfathomable. Although only a wisp of soul remains, who knows how much power and techniques it still possesses?

That's not someone like Gu Qingge, who has just been reborn and has no cultivation at all.

Once he gains the upper hand, wouldn't he be invincible?

"Heavenly Emperor's Empress?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingge's expression became strange, and he looked at Su Changsheng with a subtle gaze.

"Su Changsheng, you really have the audacity. You even want to snatch Heavenly Emperor!"

Gu Qingge sneered.

Seeing that Gu Qingge seemed to have misunderstood him, Su Changsheng felt somewhat helpless. He wanted to explain, but Gu Qingge interrupted, saying, "But I admire your courage. You are indeed my husband!"

"I promise, it's not bad to have Heavenly Emperor's Empress as my little sister. In the end, I will also take the Emperor and Empress!"

Gu Qingge's eyes flickered, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, as if he was looking forward to that scene.

Seeing this, Su Changsheng opened his mouth slightly, but in the end, he closed it without saying anything.

Well, let the misunderstanding be.

Anyway, his image in Gu Qingge's heart has already been formed.

Let it be a villain.

"Come, I'll lend you a hand!"

At this moment, Gu Qingge seemed to have returned to the state of the empress in his previous life. With a wave of his delicate hand, he said with dignity.

Boom!

Not long after, with Gu Qingge's help, Su Changsheng manipulated numerous intricate spells and imprinted countless marks on the remnant soul in the ring.

A magnificent divine light soared into the sky, and astonishing phenomena kept appearing in this palace.

It even attracted the attention of Bai Yuege, Su Ziyin, and others.

Time passed, and three full days went by before the phenomena gradually dissipated here.

"Finally got it under control!"

Su Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief. The intense consumption of the past three days had taken a toll on even this Saint, depleting a significant amount of his Primordial Spirit power.

However, the results were satisfying.

Su Changsheng's divine sense penetrated into the ring, and he saw a beautiful figure floating within it. With hands clasped around the knees, dressed in white like snow, and a perfect face as pure as moonlight, with flawless skin.

Her beautiful eyes were tightly shut, and a beautiful jade hung around her neck, emitting a sparkling light.

Although her figure was illusory, it exuded a terrifying aura.

According to Gu Qingge, if Su Changsheng were to hastily awaken this ancient empress, with her strength, she could easily kill him with a snap of her fingers.

Although she only had a remnant soul left, she could still unleash the power of a Grand Saint Grade.

In addition, as an ancient Great Emperor, Su Changsheng's current means of control were ineffective against her and would be easily resolved.

However, with Gu Qingge's assistance, this future invincible empress imparted to Su Changsheng a technique called the "Emperor's Soul Scripture," which was created by a Great Emperor who had reached the pinnacle of Primordial Spirit cultivation.

The techniques within this scripture were particularly effective against soul entities.

"Next, you just need to prepare some precious materials to nourish the Primordial Spirit, along with some materials to condense the physical body, and the Reincarnation Divine Water, and she can be resurrected!"

As she spoke, Gu Qingge casually threw a long list of materials to Su Changsheng.

With just one glance, Su Changsheng was at a loss.

They were too rare and precious, impossible to find.

"We can only rely on the auction of the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Alliance!" Su Changsheng sighed inwardly.

Time passed, and another two years went by.

During these two years, the Ninth Princess did not appear, but there were continuous anomalies in the True Saint Continent.

At the Demon Burial Valley, a tremendous anomaly occurred, during which the phantom of a majestic figure appeared. It was declared that the secret realm left behind by the Great Saint would open periodically.

At one moment, within the secret realm, there was a scene of carnage and bloodshed. Countless powerful individuals entered, including Semi-Saints, but there were no Saints who entered immediately; they were still observing.

And this observation continued until a Semi-Saint plucked a Divine Heavenly Fruit and consumed it, instantly becoming a Saint. After that, countless powerful individuals, including some Saints, went crazy and successively entered.

This commotion lasted for nearly a year. The Great Saint secret realm opened and closed twice in total, and various powerful individuals gained considerable rewards and brought out some rare treasures, preparing for an auction.

"The third opening of the secret realm is about to happen. It is said that the true treasure will appear this time. Princess Jiugong should be waiting for this opportunity!"

In the Su Family, Su Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze looking into the distance. Then he let out a sigh.

Regardless of the circumstances, he would not participate, whether it was an unparalleled opportunity or an extremely dangerous place.

However, he could participate in the auction of the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Alliance. He had heard about some rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures that would help restore his Primordial Spirit and condense his physical body.

That was exactly what he needed.

TB.....

"My child is about to be born!"

Su Changsheng's gaze deepened as he looked towards the palace behind him. There, Gu Qingge was preparing to give birth.

After more than five years of pregnancy, his first child was finally going to be born.

"Brother Changsheng, is Sister Gu going to give birth? Can I give birth too?!" Beside him, Bai Yuege blinked her eyes, her petite body also carrying a big belly.

Su Ziyuan was also pregnant, with a small belly that had only been there for a year. As for An Miaoyi, Su Changsheng had temporarily given up on her body. After all, it would be a waste to break through her body before reaching the Ninth Heaven.

"It's almost time!"

Upon hearing this, Su Changsheng looked at Bai Yuege and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Ah!"

At the same time, in the room, a loud cry resounded.

Boom!

Immediately after, a terrifying and incomparable anomaly surged into the sky.
