Chapter 1675: Entering the Nobles' Battlefield

As Tantai Lan stood in the air, her gaze surveyed the chaotic battlefield, which was over a million miles wide. After fishing out and suppressing that Triple Crowned King from the depths of its Other Dominion, this battle was essentially over. The Other Dominion was unable to handle the onslaught from the combination of the Bloodlines of Heavenly Emperors Qin and Li.

At this point, a stream of water streaked across the sky, condensing into a graceful and exquisite figure before her. "Alliance Chief Tantai, your power is truly unparalleled. It is a blessing the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent has you."

Tantai Lan's murderous aura dimmed slightly as she turned towards the youthful and beautiful lady. She couldn't get over the fact that someone as crazy as Qin Lian had given birth to such a daughter. Gentle, logical, far-sighted, and broad-minded—Qin Lian was unable to compare in any of these aspects.

Qin Yi's position within the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin had soared after the war started, especially once she entered the King Stage. It seemed that she would soon surpass Qin Zhongyuan, the current Grand Palace Master, in terms of prestige and influence. Furthermore, she was the fallen Heavenly Emperor Qin's chosen successor. As a result, her path forward was already paved and her future achievements were limitless.

When the Origin Reversion War started, she had gone against the rest of the elders of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin, persuading the Kings to set aside their grudges with their neighbors and cooperate sincerely. Only by doing so could they form an alliance to survive these troubled times.

Her suggestion had faced fierce opposition in the beginning, and people criticized her in all sorts of ways in secret. However, when the world was plunged into strife and an endless number of Other Dominions began slaughtering their way into the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent, the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin was stretched very thin. The Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li had stepped in to support them just in the nick of time, allowing them to catch a breather and stabilize themselves. All of the criticism levied at her vanished like smoke in the air at that point.

After which, news of Heavenly Emperor Qin falling within the Nobles' Battlefield had spread and the entire bloodline was filled with despair. Losing their ancestor meant that they were no longer qualified to be considered a Heavenly Emperor power!

If the world wasn't overcome with chaos and the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent's peak powers weren't up to their necks in Other Dominions, their territories and wealth might have been coveted by others. After all, without the deterrence of Heavenly Emperor Qin, they couldn't defend their foundation. It was then that Qin Yi stood up, reuniting and uplifting everyone's hearts.

The Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li extended a helping hand when their neighbor was down. With the whole world falling apart, they would be forced to deal with the Others alone if the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin vanished.

The resources and assets of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin were highly coveted, but failing to deal with the Other Dominions would lead to the whole pot of soup being spoiled! Without the lips, the teeth would feel cold—the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li understood this principle very well. Their subsequent actions made Qin Yi's suggestion to ally with them sound like the best idea in the world, resulting in her reputation skyrocketing. The support for her reached its peak when Tantai Lan entered the Ninth Transcendent Duke Stage.

"Lady Qin Yi, you entered the King Stage in merely four years. People as talented as you are very rare; I believe that the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin will one day rise again under your leadership." Tantai Lan smiled. She was truly fond of this youth and admired her ability and potential. In her eyes, Jiang Qing'e stood supreme among all of the females in her generation in terms of talent, character, and ability, with Qin Yi a close second.

"Alliance Chief Tantai, you're exaggerating with your praise. I was lucky enough to receive the support of my ancestor to reach the King Stage, so it can't be considered an amazing accomplishment. On the other hand, Sister Jiang from your family is truly unsurpassed—she has reached the Eighth Transcendent Duke Stage, which is far beyond me," Qin Yi replied softly.

The smile on Tantai Lan's face deepened upon hearing this praise. This little maiden truly knew how to pick her words, and every sentence greatly pleased her. "Lady Qin Yi, you are far too modest. The fact that Heavenly Emperor Qin placed all his hopes on you is testament to your potential. My son even told me that when he first saw you, he knew that you were a phoenix amongst women."

"Li Luo..." Qin Yi's eyes trembled slightly, filled with complex emotions.

When she first met Li Luo, she had never thought that the youth who had wasted his whole life in an outer divine continent would become so prominent. This was not only because of his background, but the fact that he had become a Transcendent Duke before Jiang Qing'e four years ago. When news of this was first heard within the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin, everyone was shocked.

In the last few years, the Golden Dragon Bank's Heavenly Origin Records had placed him as the number one youth of his generation. It was only now that Jiang Qing'e had reached the eighth-grade that the position had changed hands.

The Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li's momentum was unstoppable as it became more and more powerful, now the undisputed strongest power on the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. On the other hand, the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin was showing signs of decline, and even Qin Zhongyuan had vaguely suggested that Qin Yi should marry into their bloodline. The only one who would be an appropriate match for her, a mighty King Stage expert, was none other than the number one youth of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, Li Luo himself. No one else was qualified.

It was clear that the prosperity enjoyed by the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li had caused Qin Zhongyuan and the rest to disregard the fact that Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e were already married. In the end, Qin Yi chose to reject this proposition. She had an innate understanding of how exceptional Jiang Qing'e was, and there was absolutely no chance she could surpass her in any way. How could Li Luo fall in love with her when his existing partner was such a great match? Additionally, her mother had died by their hands.

Qin Zhongyuan had no choice but to give up this idealistic notion upon seeing her harsh rejection. Even with his position as the Grand Palace Master, he was unable to force her to do anything.

Qin Yi and Tantai Lan exchanged words until the space around them shook violently. Shortly after, several figures emanating heaven-shaking auras appeared from the void—the King Stage experts from their bloodlines.

"Lineage Chief Tantai, most of the Other Kings within this Dominion have been killed. A few managed to escape during the chaos, but they are unlikely to be able to cause any harm." The one that spoke was Dragon's Blood Lineage's Lineage Chief Li Tianji.

The former Mountain Ruling Chief now exuded a far more oppressive aura than before. This was because he had managed to break into the Triple Crowned King Stage. However, he wasn't exceptionally happy, as his achievement paled in comparison to Li Jingzhe's. When he found out that Li Jingzhe had been reborn and stepped into the Heavenly Emperor Stage, he had willingly vacated the position of Mountain Ruling Chief, wishing to pass it on to the Dragon's Fang Lineage. However, Tantai Lan had refused him. Even so, the numerous lineages now deferred to the Dragon's Fang Lineage's lead.

Tantai Lan nodded as she looked at the crowd of Kings, the smile on her face receding as she calmly replied, "After getting rid of this large Other Dominion, the pressure bearing down on our bloodlines should decrease for a while. There shouldn't be any major threats, so I can leave with peace of mind."

When these words were said, everyone's expressions changed and they hurriedly asked, "Where do you plan to go, Lineage Chief Tantai?"

The two Heavenly Emperor powers had only managed to suppress the endless horde of Other Dominions because a ninth-grade Transcendent Duke was watching over them. If she were to leave, they would definitely be under much more pressure.

Tantai Lan indifferently replied, "I plan to take a trip to the Nobles' Battlefield. I recently received a message from the Heavenly Emperors that the Grand Devil Kings have heightened the pace of their offensive, especially in the area that was once guarded by Heavenly Emperor Qin. A gap has appeared in the defensive line, and they require me to take over that position."

Li Tianji's expression vacillated between different emotions. "This must be a ploy of the Shadow World! They definitely wish for Lineage Chief Tantai to leave the ten divine continents!"

Qin Zhongyuan's expression had also turned heavy. When Heavenly Emperors were unable to step in, Tantai Lan was indeed capable of turning any situation around. In this respect, even the Radiant King of the Divine Continent Federation couldn't compare with her. Thus, so long as she remained, the large Other Dominions would be crushed by her eventually. This was clearly not something the Grand Devil Kings of the Shadow World wanted to see.

Thus, they had increased the intensity of their offensive, aiming to drag Tantai Lan into the Nobles' Battlefield. This way, she would no longer be able to influence the situation to their detriment. When she crossed over, the Shadow World could just dispatch a single Grand Devil King to watch over her.

Even though they understood the Shadow World's ploy, Tantai Lan couldn't afford to not leave. The Nobles' Battlefield was an equally critical location, and the moment their side lost control, the Shadow World's Grand Devil Kings would be able to descend in greater numbers, potentially overriding Heavenly Emperor Jiang's edict with sheer power. The ten divine continents would fall if that happened. Thus, everyone could only sigh.

"Lineage Chief Tantai, you have to be careful," Li Tianji said.

Tantai Lan nodded before giving everyone instructions and commanding them to clean up the battlefield. She then vanished, appearing atop a mountain peak. She pointed with her finger, and huge amounts of space source origin condensed before her, transforming into a spatial mirror. Ripples appeared on the mirror, as though it was connecting with something thousands of mountains and rivers away.

Shortly after, the mirror turned clear and a beautiful face that resembled a goddess appeared. Her eyes were like molten gold and seemed capable of containing all the mysteries in the world. When she looked through the spatial mirror and saw Tantai Lan, she flashed a smile, resembling a hundred flowers blooming. That smile could truly captivate anyone.

Her clear and pleasant voice transmitted through space. "Mother."
