Chapter 76: Chapter 68: The Last Great Emperor of an Era
The Witch Dynasty fully rises.
The era has completely shifted, Martial Dao has begun to decline among the Ant Queens, countless Empresses have become enamored with the safe, mysterious, and noble witchcraft system.
The Martial Arts Empress gradually falls into decline.
Suddenly, countless wizard towers rise.
Every powerful witch is surrounded by numerous martial arts knights, guarding them loyally, battling on the earth, and opening up new lands.
The strength of their spirit also signifies their wisdom increasing!
Countless witches are increasingly keen on researching souls and spells, even creating soul branding contracts, ensuring that as long as they are their descendants, they will bear a soul brand, never to betray for life.
This is clearly a strictly ruled, noble and complete extraordinary witch realm.
Fu Qingjun sees this and feels everything Qin Hong did was in vain, "Slavery has been reborn... it seems without human rights, but in the bloody slaughter world of animals, is there a need for human rights?"
The structure of civilization differs.
It’s not human civilization, so it cannot be regulated by human structures!
Deep in their bones is the ant colony system, where Ant Queens are the "humans", treating most of their offspring as tools to continuously advance civilization and gain power, achieving unimaginable catastrophes for humans! After all, without human rights, if not stacking numbers, how can it be called a catastrophe?
Time flies.
The Angel Kingdom also begins to tread the path of witchery.
Liana remains the supreme in Martial Dao, ruling the earth for countless centuries, though she has reached old age, her elegance persists.
"Great Ancestor Yudula, how about we completely overthrow the Angel’s rule?"
A minister proposed the suggestion.
Yudula shook his head, "I am still not her opponent, nor do I wish to be enemies with this great overlord. She is akin to the first Angel Emperor, having cleared many forbidden lands for the various races of the earth."
The assembly held their breath.
Time passed again.
The whole earth continued to develop in an orderly manner.
Some radical angel witches finally couldn’t hold back, seeing Liana age, they went straight to challenge her.
"The old Emperor, this new world has no place for you!"
An angel witch, arrogant in demeanor, graceful in stance, holding an exquisite Angel’s Scepter, said, "We have many martial arts knights under our command too, numerous Grandmaster Perfections like you in the same realm... this is for inferior males to practice!"
"Our Angel Race should have a new-era ruler, it’s me, Lilith, who governs the light amplification spell—Light Angels, not you."
Liana’s expression was calm, "Then let’s begin."
She took a step forward.
Boom!
Just one move!
"Too fragile to withstand a single blow." Empress Liana’s voice was cold, bypassing all the guarding knights, directly reached the witch, defeating her with one punch, causing her opponent to explode.
She then grasped her spear, swept horizontally, and directly shattered other Grandmaster Perfections of martial arts knights, loudly stating:
"These Martial Arts Grandmasters are already half-abandoned. When they submit to you, being imprisoned by you with branding, having no freedom, they are destined not to reach the heights of Martial Dao...."
"How can a strong person grow successfully under constraint and enslavement? Unless breaking through that layer of confinement!"
Boom!
She swept her spear, and countless knights of the same realm were shattered by her single strike.
Everyone watched this scene in shock.
One person versus one nation, one person directly cutting down and decapitating witches, later slaying one hundred twenty elite angel knights and more!
How terrifying in spirit!
"In this world, not a single pure-willed martial artist remains."
She slaughtered all the encircling army, bathed in blood, her countenance desolate yet filled with fervor and nostalgia, murmured:
"The martial world is gone... I thought everything was just the beginning of Martial Dao, roaming freely through the world, personal bravery first, but who knew my master and I have already become the eternal song of heaven and earth."
"Martial Arts Emperor era, dying in the next generation."
These few moves’ radiance made the whole sky silent.
In the distance, witches hidden in the sky were shocked as if the sky were split open, piercing through all fog, magnificent.
All the witches watched, their spirits dazed.
The grandeur among them made them feel she was truly the Empress who dominated the world, repressing an age!
During past days, in the most difficult times, sheltered by this existence, but as the era shifted, the times became happy, yet they already...
"From now on, I quit the Angel Race, forsake my identity, you new clansmen can each re-establish your empires." She broke off her snow-white wings, threw them on the ground, drenched in blood, yet her countenance remained unchanged as she strode away.
Even though she broke her own wings, no one dared stop this former Martial Arts Emperor.
The news quickly spread throughout the entire world,
"This... impossible!?"
```
"What kind of physique is this! Spiritual magic cannot touch it! One punch breaks it!"
"Is this the ultimate power of the Martial Dao?"
"The Yang spirit is abundant, like a blazing sun, spiritual magic cannot penetrate it!"
...
In this dazzling era of witches, only the last Martial Arts Emperor of the old days remains, yet still dominates the entire Witch Era, with no one able to outshine them!
Countless people come to beseech Yudula to take action.
Inside the Wizard Tower, Yudula looks at the sky outside the window and says loudly, "After the witches, no one else can be called the Great Emperor. I don’t know if it’s fortunate or unfortunate."
"We lack the heroic spirit of the battlefield and focus solely on our research in the tower. We are scholars, wise ones, not warriors."
"I don’t know if it’s good or bad." Yudula’s expression is complicated.
She grew up listening to the mythic epics of heroes, yearning to be like the original Great Emperor, becoming a legend, sweeping through forbidden spaces, protecting the people behind her.
Yet she never thought that she, who did not become a hero, would overturn the hero’s era.
"I am no match for her; back then, it was she who spared me, knowing that I was beneficial to civilization, so she didn’t kill me and ended up in a draw with me."
Yudula continued, "She can take the heads of other witches among thousands of troops! Naturally, she can also take my head; I can only duel her one-on-one, and the odds are seventy to thirty, giving her a seventy percent chance of winning."
All the witches were shaken.
Even with broken wings, only a thirty percent chance of winning?
Could it be she has vaguely taken that step?
"The era is gone, but she remains, guarding the last glory of her and her teacher." Yudula fell silent, then spoke again:
"As long as she does not die, one person is an era."
This sentence shook the entire land immensely.
One person, suppresses a new era.
One person is an era!
Countless people felt the awe-inspiring might, such emperor’s majesty.
She relinquished her reign over the world, allowing many to feel relieved, with no more conflict of interests, and they no longer opposed this ancient monarch.
"It is a fortune to exist in the same era with such a great being!"
"Such demeanor, such spirit!"
"If this emperor falls, there will be no more Great Emperors in the world!"
"She is an ancient monument! She once had various legendary centuries, if not for the abrupt emergence of the Witch Era, also..." someone said bitterly.
"In this world, no one can defeat this Empress; it was the era that defeated her!"
...
Liana broke her wings and abandoned the spear.
She began her journey as a Wandering Knight, traversing the lands and mountains, witnessing the customs and traditions of various countries.
Many places only caught a glimpse of this emperor of the past era; some said she had begun training with a long saber, others that she practices swordsmanship while traveling.
When Yudula met her again, she found Liana drinking in a small town, with two prosthetic limbs attached at the ends of her destroyed wings,
Seeing this, Yudula set down her worries and smiled, "It seems you are living well now... Practicing double whip with artificial limbs?"
"Yes, I must eventually try the joys of various fields." Liana laughed, inviting Yudula for a drink, "My era has passed, now it is your turn to govern this era."
"After you’ve left, there’s no emperor in this world, almighty and invincible, to suppress an entire age; no one has the grandeur and spirit to submit others." Yudula said:
"There is no emperor in the world now, only Kings; the witches can only rule separately, indulging in the midst of the towers, researching magic and truth."
"As for me, I’m merely the Ancestor King of the Witch Alliance." Yudula laughed, "You know, I also don’t want to manage these things... By the way, how’s your life now?"
"Very good."
Liana drank wine, toasting to the other side, smiling, "In the beginning, it was very despairing; my mind occasionally echoed with my teacher’s words: ’Literati die for remonstrance, warriors die for battle,’ feeling they betrayed their faith, but I got through it later."
She looked carefree, "Ah, the martial world has truly disappeared, and I should accept that it was naturally eliminated by the times. As long as the advancement of civilization continues, that’s enough. The era died, but a new era is setting sail; we are merely torches lighting up the darkness ahead."
Yudula smiled, unsure if she had truly let it go.
Liana continued, "Now, I can finally live for myself, studying the Martial Dao and my future interests."
"I can finally live the life I want, I’ve also abandoned the world."
She spoke of the ancient God of Wisdom stories, stood up, and left the tavern, leaving one last sentence, "I can finally turn around the words my teacher entrusted to me... ’My heart and actions were as a dark mirror, all righteous deeds... In the future, this will be my life’s principle."
So, would you like to set these words straight for me?
Yudula smiled warmly and charmingly, cloaked in a black Star Witch robe, her soft legs crossed, elegantly swirling her wine glass with a smile, watching her leave.
"I have already become the Underground Monarch of this world."
She sat quietly in the chair, finished her drink alone, then stood up and paid silently before leaving.
"To conclude the last attachment." She lowered the brim of her hat and hurried out of the tavern, "The first night banquet is about to begin, and the future is all unknown; I don’t know if I can come back."
