The sudden scene took everyone by surprise.
The gathered beings of the burial soil were momentarily stunned, unable to process what had just happened.
The powerful figure from the Underworld Palace, who had been so high and mighty just a moment ago, was now reduced to a puddle of blood.
However, what shocked everyone was not the fall of the Underworld Palace's strongman.
It was the one who had made the move.
A breathtaking figure stepped gracefully out from the rift in space.
Dressed in a flowing black gown that hugged her exquisite and proud form, her long hair danced in the wind, and her skin glowed like snow, resembling a beauty carved from cold jade.
Her face was obscured by a ghostly mask, preventing anyone from seeing her true features.
The one who had made the move was none other than the domain lord of the Realm of Sen Luo, the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Empress!
Her aura was terrifying, carrying an overwhelming pressure that caused the surrounding space to tremble.
Though her face was hidden behind the mask, her eyes seemed to contain the terrifying imagery of the sun extinguishing and stars collapsing, exuding an astonishing presence.
"It's the domain lord of Sen Luo!"
"The Ghost-Faced Female Burial Empress, why has she appeared?"
The appearance of the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Empress sent the crowd into a frenzy, with gasps and exclamations echoing all around.
Everyone was simply too astonished.
In the hearts of the beings of the burial soil, the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Empress was an incredibly mysterious and aloof figure.
Although all the beings of the burial soil had heard of her, very few had actually seen her in person.
Moreover, the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Empress had never claimed any allegiance to a particular faction, making her appearances even rarer.
Ninety-nine percent of those present were seeing the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Empress for the first time.
As for how they recognized her at a glance, it was naturally due to that ghostly mask.
In the burial soil, no being dared to wear a similar mask.
This was because a once-great talent had worn a similar mask, and their entire clan was wiped out by the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Empress with a single strike.
Since then, no being dared to wear such a mask again.
"My God, the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Empress has actually appeared, why is this happening?"
"The most important thing is, she killed a strongman from the Underworld Palace!"
The crowd remained deeply entrenched in shock.
The Ghost-Faced Female Burial Empress, however, acted decisively, her cold gaze shifting toward the strongmen of the Eight-Armed Spider Demon Clan.
"You opposed us just now, didn't you?"
Her voice was as cold as ice, sending chills down the spines of the Eight-Armed Spider Demon Clan's strongmen, making them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
Even the Holy Lord-level strongmen felt as insignificant as ants in the presence of the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Empress.
"N-no... we..."
Before the strongmen of the Eight-Armed Spider Demon Clan could explain, the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Empress had already pointed a finger.
A terrifying beam of deathly light pierced through the void, and a group of strongmen from the Eight-Armed Spider Demon Clan suddenly had dark holes appear on their foreheads.
One by one, their bodies fell to the ground.
"And you..." The Ghost-Faced Female Burial Empress's gaze shifted again to the Rakshasa Clan and the Undead Clan.
These clans' talents had been killed by Jun Xiaoyao at the Ten Kings Feast.
Naturally, they hated Jun Xiaoyao even more.
The strongmen of the two clans were terrified, retreating in panic, and shouted loudly, "Ghost-Faced Female Burial Empress, as the ruler of the burial soil, why are you helping an outsider?!"
The furious shouts of the two clans did not stop the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Empress from her slaughter.
She struck again with overwhelming force, her jade palm sweeping out, causing the stars to topple, the heavens to reverse, and the void to boil with intertwining deathly energy and laws of death.
In the void, blood-red flowers of the other shore bloomed.
That was the life force of powerful beings withering away.
The entire place fell into silence!
Watching this scene, all the beings of the burial soil were rendered speechless.
Although death was not particularly taboo in the ancient burial soil, witnessing such slaughter firsthand was still profoundly shocking.
"Is this the power of the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Empress?" one being of the burial soil murmured.
Not even the Holy Lords, nor several quasi-Supreme strongmen, could withstand a single move from the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Empress.
Of course, what shocked everyone the most was not the power of the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Empress.
It was why she was helping Jun Xiaoyao.
"My God, don't tell me that even the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Empress has been captivated by the looks of the Jun family's talent?"
"Impossible, that's absolutely impossible. What kind of existence is the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Empress? How could she be so superficial?"
"Then tell me, why would the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Empress act on behalf of the Jun family's talent?"
"This... I can't figure it out, completely can't figure it out."
Around them, whispers and discussions erupted.
It was simply because they could not comprehend the actions of the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Empress.
Imagine a legendary female powerhouse, suddenly appearing to slay beings of the same realm for an outsider.
It was utterly incomprehensible.
"Could it be that she really was captivated by the looks of the Jun family's talent?" Some people couldn't help but think this way.
Because apart from that reason, they couldn't think of any other explanation.
In terms of strength?
Although Jun Xiaoyao was a prodigy of the younger generation, he could not possibly be regarded highly by a powerhouse like the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Empress.
The only thing that could be praised was his looks.
"Oh my God, could it be that even the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Empress is going to fall for this outsider?"
"The Female Burial Empress is the number one beauty in the burial soil, even the Princess of Langhuan is only ranked second?"
"Are the top beauties of our burial soil going to be ruined by this kid?"
"Envy, jealousy, hatred!"
Many male prodigies present had blood-red eyes, consumed by jealousy.
Not only was the stunning Princess of Langhuan madly pursuing Jun Xiaoyao.
Even the mysterious and legendary Ghost-Faced Female Burial Empress was stepping in to protect him.
Lemon essence!
All the male beings of the burial soil had turned into lemon essence today!
"No way, no way, the Female Burial Empress isn't going to compete with me for this little puppy, is she?" Even Langhuan was taken aback, feeling quite surprised.
Instantly, a strong sense of vigilance and crisis arose in her heart.
Women like the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Empress were actually the most attractive to young men like Jun Xiaoyao.
After all, who wouldn't want to say, "Auntie, I don't want to work hard anymore"?
With the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Empress backing him, Jun Xiaoyao could almost walk sideways in the ancient burial soil.
This soft rice, why not eat it?
Thus, Langhuan felt a strong sense of crisis; competing with a formidable opponent like the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Empress for a man was too difficult.
Such a mysterious and powerful queen type was probably the most appealing to young men.
The entire crowd likely misunderstood, thinking that the reason the Ghost-Faced Female Burial Empress acted was due to a different attitude toward Jun Xiaoyao.
Only Jun Xiaoyao himself, upon seeing the ghostly mask on the Female Burial Empress's face, felt a sense of understanding in his heart.
"Again with this ghostly mask, the third time now." Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
The first time was on the forty-ninth floor of the Heavenly Dao Tower at the Sacred Spirit Academy, when the ghost-faced girl appeared and kept calling him brother.
The second time was at the Heroic Spirit Altar in the lower realm, where a ghostly figure appeared to protect Jun Xiaoyao.
And now, this was the third time.
Unlike the previous two times, this time the figure was not an illusion or imprint, but a real woman.
What exactly is this ghostly mask?
Is the woman appearing three times the same person?
What is her connection to Jun Xiaoyao?
Jun Xiaoyao fell into deep thought.
