Chapter 1725: Vast Changes Over Time

The Asura Empress followed suit, taking out a pouch and placing Tianqin and the two Five-Crowned Kings into it separately. Then she threw the blue wishing paper into the spatial mirror and, personally holding it, walked towards the coastline.

Both sides had people they cared about deeply, so neither had any intention of playing tricks. Otherwise, if they each crushed the spatial mirror and the pouch, the consequences would be dire.

At the edge of the coastline, the Yin Corpse and the Asura Empress exchanged the pouch and the spatial mirror. Once he had it, Jiang Fan flicked his Void Fishing Rod and quickly reeled the Yin Corpse back in. After a quick glance into the spatial mirror confirmed everyone was safe, his anxious heart finally settled.

At the same time, he also saw the blue wishing paper. He took it out with a smile on his face. This item could give the giants a surprise when they counterattacked the Celestial Realm. The Grand Venerable Xing Yuan's Primordial Land Collapse had already traumatized the giants, hadn't it? Just bringing it out then would terrify them.

As he was pondering, Jiang Fan suddenly felt an irresistible spatial force envelop him. Not good! He immediately realized something was amiss. He looked up to see the Asura Empress still holding a burnt-out wishing paper in her hand. Judging from the remaining ashes, it was also a blue wishing paper! Her phoenix eyes gazed at Jiang Fan with a half-smile. "Come out!"

Jiang Fan's expression drastically changed! This empress actually had a trick up her sleeve; she never intended to let Jiang Fan go. Seeing that Jiang Fan was protected by the Immortal King's Indestructible Bell and she couldn't harm him, she stopped forcing the issue to prevent him from retaliating desperately and dying along with Tianjian. Now that Tianjian was rescued, she had no more reservations. Her wish was self-evident: to get Jiang Fan out! Under such a powerful wish from Heaven and Earth, Jiang Fan couldn't escape at all!

Watching himself about to be teleported out, Jiang Fan's heart leaped into his throat. The moment he appeared outside, he would surely be met with a fatal blow from the Asura Empress. She wouldn't give Jiang Fan a second chance to escape. She wouldn't let him say a single word!

Jiang Fan's face was filled with indignation. It was rare that he hadn't tricked anyone this time and had honestly completed a transaction. Yet this empress backstabbed him! Indeed, kindness is often taken for granted! Playing with wishing paper in front of him, are we?

Jiang Fan decisively activated his wishing paper and loudly declared, "Seas turn into mulberry fields!" No sooner had his words fallen than the blue wishing paper burned to ashes. A mysterious power descended upon this world. At the same time, he was instantly teleported out.

The Asura Empress's eyes glinted with killing intent. Before Jiang Fan had fully materialized from the spatial teleportation, she struck out with a palm. The space where Jiang Fan was located was directly torn open into terrifying nothingness. She coldly snorted, "I thought you'd wish to escape." She didn't quite understand what Jiang Fan's "seas turn into mulberry fields" wish meant. Would that help Jiang Fan's life in any way?

Bang bang—

Suddenly, the two Five-Crowned Asura Kings standing behind her and their eighteen puppets all exploded into nothingness without any warning. The Asura Empress was caught off guard, and confusion flashed in her eyes. But, her pupils quickly constricted. Under the "seas turn into mulberry fields" wish, the sea beneath her feet evaporated into thin air, revealing the seabed! And the seabed was an extension of the continent. This meant they were within the continental boundary. Her mind buzzed. No, could the continent's restrictions be manipulated like this?

The next moment, a cold, clear voice reached her ears. "Divine Transformation is forbidden. Sages halt." "You have crossed the line." Before she could react, a cold aura originating from the soul invaded her body. The vortex above her head, symbolizing her Asura Emperor realm, instantly shattered, reforming into five crowns. She directly fell from Asura Emperor back to Five-Crowned Asura King. But, everything was not over. Her Asura Emperor body suffered irresistible compression, emitting explosive sounds. Her soul was also under devastating attack.

Under boundless agony, the Asura Empress let out a miserable groan and fell to the ground, her life status unknown. And the terrifying strike she had been preparing before losing consciousness directly dissipated. Jiang Fan narrowly escaped with his life. He broke out in a cold sweat, having almost truly been finished.

Thinking of this, he came before the Asura Empress, finding that she hadn't exploded into a blood mist like the Asura Kings. Aside from fractured bones throughout her body and mushy internal organs, she had no fatal injuries. Only her soul was severely damaged. Jiang Fan was speechless. Why was she still alive? Couldn't he just kill her to eliminate future troubles?

But, when he noticed the blood flowing from her body radiating astonishing pressure, an idea suddenly sparked in his mind. Oh right, where else would he find Asura Saint's blood? Couldn't he just purify it directly from the Asura Empress? The reason the Asura Empress was able to become an Empress must be because her bloodline was enhanced by Saint's blood. Then he could absolutely use the Mountain River Cauldron to forcibly extract the Asura Saint's blood! This was also the reason why Ancient Saint Yunhuang didn't kill her.

With a face full of gratitude, he cupped his hands towards the sky. "Thank you, Ancient Saint Sister." In response, the clouds in the sky formed the character "Tsk." When he needs something, she's "sister." When he doesn't, she's "old hag." Heh! What a scoundrel!

Jiang Fan chuckled dryly and re-examined the Asura Empress's body, finding a peach blossom mark on her forehead. It released an indescribable power, suppressing the Asura Empress's internal power so that not a single trace could be released. This meant she had lost the ability to recover and retaliate against Jiang Fan. Jiang Fan's heart completely relaxed. He patted the Asura Empress's cheek and said, "You tried to backstab me; are you happy now?" "Will you play with wishing paper again next time?"

Drowsily, the Asura Empress awoke and quickly realized her predicament. Uncontrollable fear surged across her face. That feeling of falling into an abyss, of irresistible death, terrified her to her very soul. The Ancient Saint on this island could no longer be described merely as terrifying.

At this moment, her grip loosened as Jiang Fan took back the pouches containing Tianjian, Tianqin, and her clansmen. Tianqin and the two Five-Crowned Asura Kings were bound by Immortal-Binding Vines, unable to cause any trouble, so Jiang Fan simply poured them into the spatial mirror. But Tianjian was different. This guy, when released from the Primordial Heaven-Imprisoning Gourd, was in perfect condition. Just pouring him into the spatial mirror like that would surely cause chaos.

Without hesitation, he pressed the pouch containing Tianjian to the ground and slammed it hard with the divine wood in his right hand. Thump, thump, thump... Amidst the thudding hammering, Tianjian inside squirmed a few times before falling silent.

"Stop! You little..."

Jiang Fan glared at her and unceremoniously struck her with a stick. Even the Asura Empress instantly flinched in pain, her cheeks twitching. She clutched her head and said, "Human, how dare you treat me like this!" Jiang Fan ignored her, shoved her into the spatial mirror, and tied her up with Immortal-Binding Vines. Afterward, he also tied up Tianjian, who was unconscious like a dead pig. Looking at the Immortal-Binding Vine, which now only had a small piece left, enough to bind only one more person, he was somewhat speechless: "It's almost not enough to bind your whole family."

Inside the spatial mirror, the Asura Empress and Tianqin, mother and daughter, looked at each other.
