My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

"This isn't working!" "We must immediately break free from the control of the Carnival of Myriad Ghosts!" "That Human Clan girl has extraordinary talent, but she's still not powerful enough. If we join forces and attack one spot, we can break this damn domain!" Just as the Dark Palace members were about to use their strongest techniques to break free from the domain's control, the three Imperial Realm elders of the River of Styx Sanctuary made their move. Black Abyss threw out his innate divine ability, a black hole, along with a purple bead-like artifact. The other two elders were not to be outdone, unleashing their most powerful attacks. Even the rogue cultivator who was close friends with Black Abyss seized the opportunity to launch a fierce assault. Boom! Boom! Boom! A series of violent explosions echoed. Under the influence of the Carnival of Myriad Ghosts domain, the River of Styx Sanctuary's attacks completely suppressed the Dark Palace members. In this single strike, all five Dark Palace elders were injured. Meanwhile, Zhe Liang quietly entered the Carnival of Myriad Ghosts domain, unleashing a Death God avatar, his aura surging. Moving like a phantom, he began slaughtering the Dark Palace disciples below the Imperial Realm. Gu Xiaoqi guarded the retreat path of the Dark Palace members, her form like fire, her spear constantly shifting. Anyone trying to escape became another victim of her spear. "Roar, Daidai, attack them all!" Above, Gu Simu maintained the Carnival of Myriad Ghosts domain while commanding little Suan Ni and the Mountain Back Puppet in battle. This was her first time participating in such a large-scale fight. Not only was she unafraid, but she also found it incredibly exhilarating. With her Supreme Iris flashing, she could always see the shifts in the battlefield, directing little Suan Ni and the Mountain Back Puppet to disrupt the Dark Palace's actions. With its newfound inheritance, little Suan Ni's speed surpassed its previous limits, often ambushing enemies from behind before they even sensed it. The Mountain Back Puppet's chaotic inheritance was more straightforward. It stood still, scratching its head, causing affected enemies to fall into a state of chaos, sometimes even attacking their allies. A Dark Palace elder, caught off guard, accidentally killed a fellow elder using a secret technique. "Good job, Daidai!" Gu Simu cheered from above, encouraging the Mountain Back Puppet. "Haha!" The Mountain Back Puppet, still scratching its head with a silly grin, appeared demonic to the Dark Palace members, who scattered away from it. This dispersal gave Zhe Liang an advantage. Accompanied by his avatar, he began a widespread slaughter. "Ah!" "Today, all of you must die!" Seeing his disciples being slaughtered and even Imperial Realm elders beginning to fall, the strongest Dark Palace elder activated his artifact with all his might. He intended to self-destruct the artifact to break the Carnival of Myriad Ghosts domain, regardless of the severe damage to his vitality and the potential harm to more Dark Palace disciples due to the indiscriminate power of the explosion. Only by breaking the domain's influence could they hope to turn the tide. "Zhe Liang, retreat!" Black Abyss quickly transmitted his voice, urging Zhe Liang to withdraw from the domain. The self-destruction of an Imperial Realm artifact was not something those below the Imperial Realm could withstand. "Hahaha! It's too late!" "Today, the Holy Son of the River of Styx Sanctuary will be buried with my Dark Palace disciples!" The Dark Palace elder laughed, his artifact's light reaching its peak. Just as the artifact was about to explode, Zhe Liang's Death God avatar transformed, switching to an avatar that could escape into the void to avoid the attack. But what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations. "Devour!" Above the battlefield, Gu Simu extended her right hand towards the artifact, softly uttering a word. Suddenly, a black vortex appeared beside the artifact, like a giant mouth, swallowing it whole. This was a new divine ability Gu Simu had comprehended from the Taotie inheritance—Devour. It could temporarily swallow anything into a separate space. Boom! The artifact exploded with a muffled thud! Spurt! The Dark Palace elder spat out blood like a fountain, his eyes filled with despair. "Impossible, impossible… this can't be!" He muttered, disbelief etched on his face as he looked at the scene before him. Seeing the Dark Palace disciples falling and the remaining elders struggling, his resolve began to crumble. Despite his survival instinct, his strength had waned, and he could no longer withstand even a single attack from Black Abyss. Under the full-force assault of the River of Styx Sanctuary, combined with Zhe Liang and others' powerful inheritances, the Dark Palace members fell one after another. Those who tried to escape using secret techniques couldn't evade Gu Xiaoqi's pursuit. "Is this the power of the River of Styx Sanctuary?" "No! This is the power of the Mandala Arena inheritance, of the Holy Son of the Styx River and that mysterious Human Clan girl... It's unimaginable how strong this inheritance is!" "From today, the River of Styx Sanctuary will be renowned throughout the Underworld. This long-abandoned Mandala Arena will also become lively again!" All the observing forces were shaken by the one-sided battle, knowing that the Underworld was about to change. Some names in the field were destined to become famous throughout the Underworld and possibly the entire Six Realms. After the battle, Black Abyss began assessing the River of Styx Sanctuary's losses. He was stunned to find that apart from a few disciples who overexerted themselves and needed long-term rest, not a single person had died. This outcome was unprecedented. In a battle involving Imperial Realm experts, all Saint Stage disciples were typically cannon fodder, easily killed by Imperial Realm attacks. "No disciples lost—this is an unprecedented victory!" Black Abyss, excited, glanced at Zhe Liang and then at Gu Simu, knowing that this perfect victory was all thanks to her. Her domain-like divine ability was terrifying. Zhe Liang approached Black Abyss, spoke a few words, and then flew to the battlefield's sky, surveying the various forces below. "Everyone!" "Today, as the Holy Son of the River of Styx Sanctuary, I declare!" "The River of Styx Sanctuary formally declares war on the Dark Palace!" His voice, amplified by a secret technique, quickly spread in all directions. All forces, both visible and hidden, heard his words. This time, everyone listened in trepidation. The River of Styx Sanctuary had proven its strength and resolve, simultaneously declaring Zhe Liang's dominant position as the Holy Son!
