The ultimate showdown is imminent, and countless local cultivators in the Celestial Domain are extremely nervous.

They surely hope that Celestial Sword Mountain eliminates all the invaders.

If it weren't for the ruthless and merciless methods of the major groups from the Emperor Star, eradicating each major force they conquer, they would certainly be hindered by hidden saboteurs.

Even the Old Medicine Emperor from Medicine King Valley is itching to act, but unfortunately, he's already been placed under a restriction by Gu Qijue. Even if he wants to help, he doesn't dare to.

Moreover, if he receives an order from Gu Qijue, he will have to assist the invaders against his own people.

Now, in the Celestial Domain, all the local cultivators live under a cloud of doom.

They fear being enslaved by the invaders, living forever in a sunless darkness.

Upon learning that Gu Qijue has left seclusion, Ji Tianyue immediately rushes to meet him.

Time has changed.

When Ji Tianyue sees Gu Qijue today, there's a slight shock to her spirit.

In just three months, seeing this man again, she feels an unparalleled sense of oppression emanating from him.

Moreover, his appearance has changed.

What happened?

In the restaurant, Gu Qijue takes a sip of red wine from his glass, looking at the stunned Ji Tianyue with an ambiguous smile, "Little demon, did you come rushing here out of loneliness and emptiness?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Tianyue regains her composure, a charming smile appearing on her mature and alluring face as she sways her hips and walks toward him, smiling slightly, "Not at all. Haven't seen you for three months and missed my little man terribly."

Today, she's wearing a purple body-hugging short skirt, her figure graceful and lengthy, the curves alluringly prominent.

She walks straight to Gu Qijue, then naturally wraps an arm around his neck, her round and plump hips settling on his thigh.

Seeing this scene, Bai Jingyi silently curses, "Seductress."

"Come, take a sip!"

Gu Qijue wraps an arm around her slender waist, bringing the wine glass to her tender lips.

"Alright then!"

Ji Tianyue gently parts her lips, taking a light sip.

"How goes the discussion on the battle?"

Gu Qijue's hand moves down, resting on her round hips.

"If this battle is lost, the Emperor Star won't step onto the Divine Desolate Continent for tens of thousands of years. Now, all the combat units that should be in place are ready, and the start of the battle is just a word from the alliance."

Ji Tianyue's jade hand caresses Gu Qijue's broad, muscular chest, smiling alluringly, "It's only been a few months, what level have you broken through to?"

Gu Qijue takes another sip of red wine from his glass, smiling slightly, "Tier Six Emperor, invincible beneath the divine!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Tianyue can hardly believe her ears, looking at him in full surprise.

"Surprised?!"

Gu Qijue, with a mischievous smile, plays with parts of her in a way that are beyond words.

"Impressive! You're just a freak."

Ji Tianyue doesn't even know what words to use to express her shock.

She's been cultivating for tens of thousands of years, yet was easily surpassed by this guy.

Comparisons are odious.

"Have you returned to your original form to avenge the Blood Dragon Race?" Ji Tianyue asked, staring at him.

"That's right, it's time for reckoning. You weren't involved back then, were you? Otherwise, I might have to be ruthless."

As Gu Qijue spoke, he pinched firmly.

"Mmhmm! This is karma. I thought about stepping in back then, but luckily I didn't. You can check if you don't believe me."

Ji Tianyue knows Gu Qijue isn't joking, and she can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Gu Qijue's eyes flash coldly as he says lightly, "I will check, and anyone involved in the destruction of the Blood Dragon Race will not escape unscathed."

"Feel free to check. The innocent are innocent!"

Ji Tianyue leans close to Gu Qijue's ear and sweetly whispers, "With only half a month until the battle, let's enjoy this dual cultivation together!"

Her purpose for coming here is naturally to undergo dual cultivation with Gu Qijue, any boost in strength is beneficial.

"Let's go, I've had my fill, now to savor your taste."

Gu Qijue chuckles wickedly, embracing her waist as they leave.

Watching them depart, Bai Jingyi can't help but feel envious.

...

On the twelfth day.

As Ji Tianyue battles fiercely with Gu Qijue, she suddenly receives the alliance's urgent summon.

She's slightly startled, saying, "Hurry up, the alliance is calling for me."

"No problem!"

A few hours later, Gu Qijue's energy erupts like a volcano, causing Ji Tianyue's eyes to widen. The magnitude of this energy almost exceeds her capacity to endure.

It directly propels her from Tier Four Demon Emperor to Tier Five.

Her bloodline is also undergoing subtle changes, seeming like with a few more times, she'll be able to completely transform.

After the battle ends, the two wash up and dress before exiting the bedroom.

"President Gu!"

Bai Jingyi, dealing with some files in the office, sees them come out and stands up to greet them with envy.

"I'll leave the Group affairs to you. This ultimate battle is about to begin."

Gu Qijue nods slightly to her, leading Ji Tianyue out of the office.

Leaving the alliance's war base, Gu Qijue tears through the void, taking Ji Tianyue across.

Half an hour later, the two appear outside the central command base on the front line, in front of the highest-level meeting hall.

Here, they are about four million miles from Celestial Sword Mountain.

Behind them, there are countless visible bases of various sizes.

Each base represents a group from the Emperor Star.

Each base is garrisoned with an unknown number of combat units.

The Infinite Group's war base is among them.

Once the horn of war blows, that will be when they launch their full assault.

With the real showdown arriving, this world may be shattered.

Inside the highest meeting hall.

The founders of the six academies, the two patriarchs of the alliance, and the patriarchs of the twenty-four Overlord Groups, all are present except Ji Tianyue.

"Where's Ji Tianyue? We've been waiting for her for hours now, she must be quite important!"

Nangong Haotian, founder of Cultivation Academy, speaks up impatiently.

The nerve to make them wait so long, everyone present feels somewhat unpleasant.

"Apologies, I ran into some issues and came late, sorry to have kept you waiting!"

Just as someone was about to voice their discontent, Ji Tianyue's voice comes in from outside.

Everyone looks her way, noticing a strange man with her, their eyes narrowing slightly.

From this man, even the Peaks of Emperor Level present feel considerable oppression.

The two patriarchs of the alliance's pupils constrict even more.

"Apologies for the delay!"

Ji Tianyue bows to the attendees one by one, "This is Gu Qijue, head of the Infinite Group. Due to identity issues, he previously had to change his appearance, but now that's no longer necessary since no one can threaten him anymore."

Hearing this, all eyes shift repeatedly onto Gu Qijue.

Those unknowing are highly curious, wondering about the origin of this person who rose so quickly.
