The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 1162 - 1163: Hall Mutation (Tenth Update)

The invasion of the Red Flame Realm continues, but most of the forces and races have lost the will to resist. They already know that Ming Chun Hall has fled in disarray under the offensive of the Huaxia Empire.
Even the overlord-level force Ming Chun Hall had to flee hastily. How could these forces possibly be a match against the Huaxia Empire? Surrendering might be the only way to survive.
Thinking of this, many forces surrendered the moment the Imperial Army of the Huaxia Empire arrived, kneeling on the ground and accepting their imminent fate.
Moreover, as the Huaxia Empire intentionally spread the word, many forces learned that surrendering would not lead to massacre or enslavement but rather good treatment, as they would become part of the Empire by swearing an oath against inner demons.
Many forces gave up even more decisively, since their lives would remain largely unchanged. Survival was the most important thing, and why should they concern themselves with the dignity of surrender.
However, there were still many forces and races unwilling to surrender, resisting the Imperial Army of the Huaxia Empire to the bitter end for the sake of their pride.
And the Vermilion Bird was greatly angered by the profanity from a force resisting them, personally acting to obliterate half a star with terrifying flames, exposing the fragmented star within.
Thinking this might be fragments of Xuanyan Star, they immediately ed to His Majesty Lin Qian.
Upon receiving such news, Lin Qian hurriedly returned, and when he arrived at the Red Flame Realm, standing before the shattered star, he became more certain that it was indeed fragments of Xuanyan Star.
As the Earth Spirit Sovereign of Xuanyan Star, he could recognize Xuanyan Star fragments at a glance.
Riding a special Void Warship for the Emperor, Lin Qian descended onto the earth above the Xuanyan Star fragment.
On this land stood an imposing and ancient hall, entirely red in hue, seemingly relics from Xuanyan Star.
However, in Lin Qian's eyes, this hall was not as grand as he imagined; rather, it was quite short, even lower than the hall of the Imperial Palace in New Qin City on Soul Martial Star.
Logically, this being from the Upper Realm's star, its halls should be grand and towering, majestic and imposing.
But seeing the short appearance before him left Lin Qian slightly disappointed.
It's just that an invisible force shrouded the hall, keeping it undamaged.
"My lord, why don't we go inside and have a look," urged Ye Xin, his companion, "Who knows, maybe there's something intriguing inside?"
Listening to Ye Xin's words, Lin Qian nodded: "Let's take a look. We haven't been out together for a long time, let's consider it a break and a bit of sightseeing."
Saying this, Lin Qian held Ye Xin's hand and walked directly towards the barrier.
The surrounding Imperial Army and Emperor Demon Army paid no heed, but among the Phoenix clan, someone wanted to speak up with a warning.
The invisible barrier seemed like a defensive shield, which would repel anyone who touched it, making it impossible to approach.
But even before they spoke, they were surprised to see Lin Qian and Ye Xin approach the hall's entrance, seemingly unaffected by the barrier.
Lin Qian, being the master of Xuanyan Star's Earth Spirit, was naturally immune to the hall's barrier defenses.
As for Ye Xin beside him, she possessed the true bloodline of the Xuanyan Human Clan, so how could the hall, crafted by the Xuanyan Human Clan, react against its own members?
When the couple approached the entrance of the hall, the tightly closed doors suddenly opened by themselves.
Despite the hall appearing short in Lin Qian's eyes, compared to the Imperial Palace of New Qin City on Soul Martial Star, it was indeed very massive relative to the couple.
Even though the hall doors only opened a crack, it was enough for the couple to enter.
As Lin Qian and Ye Xin entered the hall, the door behind them suddenly slammed shut with a loud bang.
This sound was particularly loud in the hall.
The soul energy within Lin Qian involuntarily began circulating, and he tightened his grip on Ye Xin's hand, nudging her to stand behind him: "Stay vigilant!"
At this moment, Lin Qian was prepared for any dangers, ready to instantly shelter Ye Xin within his grotto heaven soul device, while he escaped back to Xuanhuan Star.
Though returning to Xuanhuan Star would mean Ye Xin could not exit the grotto heaven soul device, she would remain unharmed.
However, nothing dangerous appeared in the hall as Lin Qian had imagined; instead, flowers made of red flames bloomed on the column and wall lamps, illuminating the entire hall.
When the hall's scene fully emerged before the couple, it surprised them as it was too empty, containing absolutely nothing at all.
Looking around revealed only a vacant hall.
The hall was not very large either, as it appeared outside, and they could see the opposite wall at a glance.
"It seems there's nothing here," Lin Qian frowned as he glanced around.
Yet Ye Xin shook her head, becoming alert: "My lord, something seems off. There's an array's fluctuation gradually appearing inside the hall, though it's quite hidden. Without the Prime Minister's teachings, I might have missed it."
"Array fluctuations?" Lin Qian's mind tightened upon hearing his queen's words, and he began contacting Zhuge Ming.
"Your Majesty, let me materialize with a puppet form, so..." But as Zhuge Ming spoke, the scenery within the hall suddenly changed dramatically.
Beneath Lin Qian and Ye Xin's feet, the hall floor seemed to vanish, causing them to float, constantly tumbling and twisting with the distortion of the surroundings.
Lin Qian hurriedly embraced Ye Xin, intending to shelter her within his grotto heaven soul device but was helpless.
Meanwhile, within the Xuanhuan Star, Zhuge Ming also sensed this mysterious change and was about to use spiritual energy from Xuanhuan Star to stop this transformation but halted.
Because Zhuge Ming abruptly realized the array held no malice; rather, according to the display of national destiny, it seemed immensely beneficial to the Emperor and Empress.
The national destiny of the Huaxia Empire was intimately tied with Lin Qian and Ye Xin.
Lin Qian, the ruler of the Huaxia Empire, and Ye Xin supporting him as Empress.
Judging by the trajectory and aura of national destiny, Lin Qian and Ye Xin were all right and rather fortunate, indicating auspiciousness.
For this reason, Zhuge Ming did not use spiritual energy to curb the changes within Lin Qian; instead, he observed the developments.
He believed this might be a great blessing for the Emperor and Empress, and obstructing it would indeed be regrettable.
Meanwhile, Lin Qian and Ye Xin, amid the tumultuous swirling, finally came to a halt.
And the surrounding scenery had undergone an earth-shattering transformation.
They were on a mountain peak, overlooking the distance filled with endless wild forests, harboring countless terrifying auras rising up.
On this mountain top stood a figure, a man of the Human Clan dressed in red robes, hands clasped behind his back, looking at the couple.
"You two little ones, feel like throwing up? Go ahead if you want to," the man smiled at Lin Qian and Ye Xin before him.
However, Lin Qian and Ye Xin maintained calm expressions, staring at the man cautiously.
"You're making this somewhat awkward for me," the elder sighed, observing the couple's demeanor, "Especially you, young lady, I'm your ancestor, after all, no need to gaze at me like that."
