Behold! Outside the Hall of Throne, the square was already packed with people. Thousands of imperial guards had entered the palace, heavily surrounding the Hall of Throne, weapons at the ready!
And at the forefront of these guards were none other than the three brothers Roscoe, Adam, and Lillard!
They were accompanied by hundreds of practitioners of dark energy!
Apparently, upon receiving news of the turbulence in the palace, Roscoe and his men had immediately gathered all their forces and rushed to the palace. The thousands of imperial guards present had also secretly pledged allegiance to Roscoe!
This battle was not only related to the fate of Sean, King Ron, and Cecilia, but also to the destinies of Roscoe and his men!
Even more, it might determine the fate of the Shirine Empire!
So, Roscoe was all in, putting everything on the line!
However, as this battle was a matter of life and death, Roscoe was extremely cautious. After leading his troops to the palace, he waited outside for nearly ten minutes. Only when King Ron left the underground altar and decided to fight Cecilia to the death did he charge in!
The reasoning was simple! The underground altar was King Ron’s lifeline. Roscoe was well aware that as long as King Ron dared to leave the altar, even if Cecilia did not kill him, he would surely be gravely injured!
By that time, with hundreds of dark energy practitioners around him and thousands of imperial guards behind him, Roscoe was confident that he could prevent King Ron from returning to the altar and extending his life!
Such an opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime!
The throne of the Shirine Empire!
Roscoe was determined to win this time!!!
Boom! Above their heads, in the air, Cecilia held Sean’s weapon, the Wolf’s Massacre, and King Ron held his ancestral Sword of Emperor. The two of them hovered in the air, supported by robust bright energy, about a dozen meters apart. Every slash and stab they made resulted in dazzling flashes of blades and swords breaking through the air!
The scene was like a war of gods, overwhelming and awe-inspiring!
Boom, boom, boom…
Those flashes of blades and swords were transformed from bright energy. The mere sweep of the residual waves forced Roscoe and others to continuously retreat, landing on the surrounding pavilions. Accompanied by the rumbling sound, buildings collapsed, pavilions crumbled, and the ground beneath their feet seemed to be shaking violently!
This was a contest between practitioners of the Bright Realm!
This was the terrifying power of bright energy!
Gulp!
Gulp, gulp, gulp…
The shock in Roscoe and others’ hearts was beyond words. They could never have imagined that after entering the palace, they would see not a duel between Sean and King Ron, but a duel between Cecilia and King Ron!
To Roscoe and the others, Cecilia was just an ordinary woman with no martial abilities. They had never thought she had any understanding of the martial arts path!
But the Cecilia they were seeing now was completely overturning their worldview!
They were not King Ron and had never witnessed the terrifying energy concealed in Liane Field’s blood. Therefore, they could not comprehend Cecilia’s transformation from an ordinary person to a Bright Realm practitioner!
“This…”
Prince Lillard’s eyes were wide open, nearly dropping his jaw in shock. His heart was pounding wildly as he turned to Roscoe in disbelief, “Roscoe, is this woman really Sean’s wife???”
Before this, Prince Lillard had never seen Cecilia and had never regarded her as important.
After all, in the struggle for the throne, an ordinary woman was hardly worth mentioning!
“That’s right!” Prince Adam nodded with a grave expression, gritting his teeth and saying, “It’s her!”
“Indeed, it’s her!”
“I personally witnessed her and the members of the Bloody Wolf Group being oppressed by Eliott Garner and humiliated by Earl Woods at the Palace of Wolf!”
“But…”
“I can confirm that back then, Cecilia was still an ordinary person and she can hardly fight!!!”
Indeed! If the Cecilia of that time was not an ordinary person, if she possessed such terrifying power then, how could she have stood idly by as the members of the Bloody Wolf Group were beaten and crippled? How could she have been forced into the Imperial City, marrying Earl Woods???
However! From Earl Woods traveling to the Palace of Wolf to marry Cecilia, to now, less than an hour has passed. In such a short period, Cecilia has undergone a phenomenal transformation like a phoenix reborn from the ashes!
How could she have done it???
“That…”
Prince Lillard’s voice trembled slightly, guessing boldly, “Could it be that there really is some unknown method in this world that can turn an ordinary person into a Bright Realm cultivator in an instant?”
Such a thing! If it had been in the past, Prince Lillard would not have dared to think about it!
You must understand! That’s the Bright Realm!
The realm of legend!
The realm of emperors!
In a kingdom, only one person can achieve it!
If! There really is such a method that allows ordinary people to ascend to the heavens in a single step, it would undoubtedly break the rules of martial arts cultivation, and they, who have been struggling with their birth, bloodline, heritage, talent… struggling for decades! They have not made as much progress as Cecilia in a single hour!
What’s the point of martial arts cultivation???
“Don’t panic!”
Compared with the clearly flustered Prince Lillard and Prince Adam, although Roscoe was equally astonished, he still maintained his rationality and said in a deep voice, “Things may not be as simple as you think!”
He turned his head to look at Luna Porter beside him and asked, “Luna, what do you think?”
Luna Porter, not taking her eyes off Cecilia and King Ron, who were fighting fiercely in mid-air, shook her head after a moment. She didn’t answer Roscoe’s question, but instead asked, “Your Highness, do you remember how His Majesty was injured that year?”
Upon hearing this, Roscoe was taken aback. As if suddenly remembering something, his pupils contracted sharply, saying, “You mean, Cecilia also has…”
Roscoe didn’t finish his sentence!
But clearly! He also thought of Liane Field!!!
Speaking of the internal situation of King Ron’s core damage that year, apart from King Ron himself and the King of Night, the people who knew the most were probably Roscoe and Luna Porter!
After all! The matters of Liane Field and the Elysium were leaked from Pierce Porter’s mouth, and Pierce Porter has always been Roscoe’s confidant! Luna Porter is Pierce Porter’s daughter!
Therefore! They naturally learned some unknown secrets from Pierce Porter!
“It should be!”
Luna Porter nodded and said, “Other than that, Your Highness, do you have a more reasonable explanation?”
Roscoe didn’t speak!
But in his heart, he already agreed with Luna Porter’s view!
However! Even so, he still found it hard to believe. What kind of figure was Sean’s biological mother, Liane Field? Back then! She left King Ron seriously injured with a damaged core! Now! She allowed Cecilia to ascend to the Bright Realm in one step!
How strong is Liane Field’s bloodline?
Amidst the shock, Roscoe subconsciously looked down at Luna Porter’s slightly protruding belly. He couldn’t help but look forward to the child in Luna Porter’s belly, who was Sean’s flesh and blood!
Since Liane Field’s bloodline is so strong, so incredible, after Sean inherits her powerful bloodline, he officially entered the Bright Realm in just five years, his talent is astonishing!
Then! As Sean’s children, the descendants of Liane Field, the child in Luna Porter’s belly, the bloodline must also be extremely strong, right?
If! After the child is born, they refine him, wouldn’t it be easy for him to ascend to the Bright Realm, like water flowing into a channel?
Boom! As Roscoe was lost in thought, suddenly, another earth-shattering explosion came. After Cecilia and King Ron had clashed in mid-air who knows how many times, one was finally forced left and the other right. In the blink of an eye, they had put a hundred meters distance between them!
Pfft! Just as King Ron steadied himself in mid-air, he couldn’t help but spew a mouthful of fresh blood. The aura within his body fluctuated violently, his face was as pale as a sheet, looking extremely unsightly! Clearly, he was severely injured!
On the other side! Cecilia, clad in a blood-red wedding dress, was also suspended in mid-air, appearing shaky as if she had exhausted all her strength. It looked like she might lose her support at any moment and plunge down from the sky!
“Cecilia!”
Sean, who had emerged from the Hall of Throne, saw this scene. His steps did not falter, and the scant bright energy left within his body erupted instantly. With a single leap, he became a blur under the lift of the bright energy. Before his voice had even faded, he had already reached Cecilia’s side. He extended his hand to embrace Cecilia’s slender waist, supporting her swaying body!
