Fortunately, Valerie Zoe hesitated for a moment and said,

“I appreciate the emperor’s concern.”

“I am still not fully recovered from the Red Dust Poison which weakens my condition.”

Valerie Zoe thought about how her body strength and understanding of martial arts had grown exponentially since she began practicing the Origin Martial Dao. Although the Red Dust Poison was not yet completely eradicated, it had been so thoroughly suppressed that it essentially had no effect on her. She could now easily fight ten times her former level!

However, the Red Dust Poison was indeed not yet eliminated.

In order to discern the emperor’s true intentions, Valerie Zoe had no choice but to tell a white lie.

Emperor Sisi’s voice did not hide his surprise, even as he saw the lady Valkyrie frown. He evidently had no intention to conceal his elation.

“Haha, my lie detector isn’t broken after all. You didn’t lie!”

Emperor Sisi excitedly tossed a silver-white steel object aside and continued,

“This Red Dust Poison is very timely!”

“Humph.”

“I should have realized, when you entered this great hall without any caution, that you were not yet fully recovered!”

“Otherwise, you would have never walked in without any defenses!”

Emperor Sisi danced and mumbled to himself, completely disregarding the lady Valkyrie, Zoe, and her furrowed brows. It seemed as if he wanted to vent all the grievances of his royal family after years of frustration.

“Do you know that this is the Martial Communication Heavenly Array Ultimate Heaven and Earth Communication!?”

“Let alone a weakened you, even at your peak, you would be completely suppressed without any strength and reduced to a mere mortal once you stepped in!”

“Hahaha! After a hundred years of bitter planning, my royal family accomplishes our goal so… so easily today!”

“The position of Valkyrie rightfully belongs to the royal bloodline!”

As she watched the increasingly frenzied Emperor Sisi, Valerie Zoe’s gaze became more confused.

It was true that when she had entered the Thousand Autumn Palace just now, she had indeed felt a “sense of bondage”. But…

This had no effect on her, hadn’t it?

Martial Sky Array – Ultimate Heaven and Earth Communication… is that all?

Valerie Zoe grew increasingly impatient. She had always been obsessed with martial arts, and obtaining the Origin Martial Dao only amplified that obsession.

Ordinary martial arts could be likened to a completed painting, which people would then imitate.

Change?

At most, people could only tweak it slightly.

With Valerie Zoe’s talents, making major changes was, of course, achievable without any effort.

But the problem was…

If one were to make drastic changes, rendering it completely different from the original, then why bother training tirelessly?

Origin Martial Dao was different. Although it was also a completed painting, it allowed practitioners to continue the artwork after imitating it.

Only in this way could a martial artist more easily make progress!

Therefore, Valerie Zoe, who was already infatuated with martial arts, became even more engrossed after obtaining the Origin Martial Dao. If not for Lady’s request, she would have not paid any heed to matters unrelated to martial arts.

Emperor Sisi using the people to blackmail her?

Please, he was the emperor!

The world didn’t belong to her, so using her as leverage was laughable, wasn’t

Thus, the already impatient Valerie Zoe became even more irritated after seeing Emperor Sisi’s frenzy. She said,

“Emperor, just tell me what you want.”

“Otherwise, I might just leave.”

“Leave?”

Emperor Sisi burst into mad laughter,

“You think you can still leave?”

“Hehe.”

“You have already chosen the way to your demise!”

“Let me devour you, and take your Valkyrie qualification!”

The next moment, bursts of dark lines emerged from Emperor Sisi’s body, enveloping the entire Thousand Autumn Palace like a cage.

“Behold, Heavenly Martial Arts: Soul Snatching!”

The next moment, nine chains extended out from the cage, aiming to bind Valerie Zoe, so that Emperor Sisi could manipulate her at will!

“Heavenly Martial Art: Heaven and Earth Painting Halberd!”

With a low shout, an overbearing Heaven and Earth Painting Halberd appeared in Valerie Zoe’s hand, emitting a black and purple glow, radiating with endless power,

“A puny Ultimate Heaven and Earth Communication, let me break it!”

Valerie Zoe’s numerous martial arts rules were manifested and transformed into endless power that enveloped her. In an instant, she transformed into a golden armored divine general, wielding her Heaven and Earth Painting Halberd and tearing through space!

Boom!

Without any suspense, the cage was torn apart.

Emperor Sisi spat out blood, stood in shock, and stared at Valerie Zoe, unscathed, with an unbelieving expression.

“Didn’t you say you weren’t healed yet?”

Valerie Zoe didn’t pay him any attention; instead, she asked the teacher’s glowing point in confusion,

“Teacher, is this the reason you asked me to enter the palace?”

Lady shook her head slightly and said,

“Keep watching.”

At this moment, an eerie wind blew past. Even Valerie Zoe, who had practiced the Origin Martial Dao and gained vast strength, felt goosebumps as she looked at Emperor Sisi.

Boom!

The next moment, Emperor Sisi exploded in his original position.

The blood fog spewed out and was lifted by an invisible hand. It then transformed into a humanoid figure wearing a loose papal robe, resembling the most devout priest. He intently stared at Valerie Zoe and said,

“Impressive.”

“Worthy of the Sky Man Tribe’s Valkyrie who could withstand the Red Dust

Poison.”

“You haven’t disappointed me.”

“But, I am not here for you this time. Ask your master to come out.”

Although Julius’ wraith simply stood, it seemed to occupy the “quality” of the space, causing the gaze and attention of all beings to involuntarily “slant” towards it..
