Chapter 2155: Chapter 2152: Farewell
The Silent Obliteration of All Things dissipated, and the Void Demon Emperor was reduced to nothingness by this move, leaving only a ring floating in mid-air.
With a grasp, the ring appeared in Ling Feng’s hand.
Looking at the ring in his hand, Ling Feng murmured to himself, "Is this the Empress’s Ring that represents the supreme power of the Holy Land? Remarkably, it remains unscathed amidst the Silent Obliteration of All Things, attesting to its extraordinary nature."
The Empress’s Ring is the highest symbol of power in the Void Sanctuary, originally stolen by the Void Demon Emperor, which was one of the reasons he could control the Void Sanctuary.
Slowly landing on the Shrine, Ling Feng’s face appeared somewhat pale. As his power increased, the strength required for the Silent Obliteration of All Things grew ever more immense. Had the Void Demon Emperor persisted a bit longer, he might not have endured.
"First, I’ll restore my strength!" Ling Feng put away the Empress’s Ring and then sat quietly to meditate. The battle with the Void Demon Emperor drained considerable effort, and by now, Xiao Xi and the others should have been captured.
With Xiao Xi and their power, they couldn’t possibly escape! Their plan was to use Xiao Xi as bait while Ling Feng struck directly: even if Xiao Xi were captured, Ling Feng could still defeat the Void Demon Emperor before rescuing her!
Of course, all of this hinged on Ling Feng being able to slay the Void Demon Emperor, which meant this plan was a gamble, placing all hope on Ling Feng.
Fortunately, Ling Feng succeeded; otherwise, everyone, including Xiao Xi, would perish!
Several hours later, Ling Feng awoke from his meditative state, sensing a powerful force approaching.
"Have they returned?" Ling Feng squinted his eyes.
Sure enough, within minutes, the Imperial Guards sent to capture Xiao Xi appeared before Ling Feng.
"What happened here? What’s going on?" The crowd returned to the Shrine, taken aback by the chaos, unable to resist questioning.
Ling Feng took a deep breath and shouted solemnly, "Your Demon Emperor has been slain by me; don’t resist stubbornly, surrender!"
As he spoke, Ling Feng appeared before the crowd, holding the Empress’s Ring.
"The Demon Emperor was killed? That’s impossible, absolutely impossible! The Demon Emperor is invincible!"
"That’s right, we don’t believe it! There’s no way the Demon Emperor could die, this person is lying!"
"But in his hand, that’s the Empress’s Ring, wasn’t the Empress’s Ring in the Demon Emperor’s possession? If the Demon Emperor is alive, then where has he gone?"
...
The Guard Commander’s face fell, with the air still heavy with the aura of destruction; this guy might be telling the truth, could the Demon Emperor truly be dead?
The invincible existence that ruled the Void Sanctuary for tens of thousands of years, did he die inexplicably?
"With the Empress’s Ring here, do you intend to rebel?" Ling Feng raised the Empress’s Ring, then his figure flickered, and in an instant, Xiao Xi, initially controlled by them, appeared by Ling Feng’s side.
Ling Feng slipped the Empress’s Ring onto Xiao Xi’s finger. The ring emitted a clear chirping sound, and Xiao Xi radiated a white light, which, upon fading, revealed her draped in golden Rosy Cloud Robes, emanating an extremely powerful aura.
The majesty of the Empress emanated from Xiao Xi, weighing heavily on everyone’s hearts.
"Thud" echoed, an unknown individual first dropped their weapon, kneeling on the ground: "Your Majesty, Empress!"
"The Empress returns! Salute the Empress!"
"The Empress returns, salute the Empress!"
...
The Guard Commander was taken aback: "You all...why did you surrender so easily? She isn’t the Empress; she’s a traitor, are you ready to betray the Demon Emperor?"
"Hahaha, your Demon Emperor is dead!" Elder Yu sneered weakly: "The era of the Empress returns, you’ve utterly failed!"
Ling Feng looked at the few remaining who stood: "Do you still wish to hold out stubbornly?"
The Guard Commander gritted his teeth: "In my heart, only the Demon Emperor is the true Commander; I will never acknowledge this so-called Empress. Demon Emperor, why have you left? Since you’ve departed, I have no reason to live!"
Finished speaking, he struck his forehead fiercely; his brain burst like a watermelon, and he fell limply to the ground.
Witnessing this, other trusted aides also smashed their heads, following the Demon Emperor with their lives.
Seeing this, Ling Feng felt moved; though the Void Demon Emperor was not benevolent, he had loyal followers. He merely lamented that they chose the wrong leader.
With these people dead, the remaining had no conflicting thoughts and submitted to Empress Xiao Xi.
Xiao Xi gratefully glanced at Ling Feng, then raised the ring on her hand: "From now on, the era of the Empress returns!"
...
After slaying the Void Demon Emperor, the remaining matters were unrelated to Ling Feng; reorganizing the Void Sanctuary and restoring order fell upon Xiao Xi, the newly ascended Empress.
Days later, Ling Feng fully restored his strength, and now it was time for him to depart.
"Big Brother Ling, are you really leaving?" When Ling Feng bade farewell to Xiao Xi, an expression of hesitation appeared on her face.
"I have things I must do!" Ling Feng smiled and said, "Moreover, the Void Sanctuary has returned under the Empress’s rule; there’s no place requiring me here. My strength is fully restored, so it’s time to continue moving forward!"
Xiao Xi was silent; she wished to keep Ling Feng, but knowing his decision couldn’t be changed, she remained silent.
"Alright, since Big Brother Ling insists on leaving, then I won’t hold you back!" Xiao Xi’s eyes reddened: "This is my home; there are people who need me here, so... I’m sorry, Big Brother Ling, I can’t go with you!"
"Fool!" Ling Feng patted her head, saying: "You are the Void Empress; you should be here. Our encounters are all destiny; separation is fate’s guidance, no need to be so sad!"
"Moreover, I’m going to become a War God’s man!" Ling Feng said with a smile: "When I become the War God, as the Void Empress, you will be my trusted aide. Isn’t that freeing? It’s not as if we’ll never meet again."
Xiao Xi’s eyes sparkled; she raised her little finger: "Then it’s a promise, you must become the War God so we can meet again!"
Ling Feng smiled and hooked Xiao Xi’s little finger: "Alright, I promise!"
"A man of his word, four horses can’t chase!"
"Cross my heart!"
