I was the Heavenly Emperor in ancient times

Chapter 62 The Chaos of the Imperial Blood
The fields of Su Guang.

The Great Wilderness is vast and desolate, teeming with demons and monsters.

In many places, there is no sign of human habitation, and in most areas, clans and tribes may never be able to contact the outside world in their entire lives.

However, the Great Wilderness is very small for some people, and some news will always get out.

As the Queen Mother followed in the footsteps of the Emperor, someone came to report her arrival.

"Mother!"

“The shaman of Huan Gou Clan has arrived and says that the Emperor has visited the wilderness of Su Guang.”
-
Following the sunset, Nishimu arrived at the wilderness of Suguang.

A shaman, his body ablaze with fire and skin as hard as rock, stood in front of the carriage, while a tall, fair-skinned witch, resembling a corpse, sat inside driving.

A large number of people with the physical characteristics of various birds followed him; they were members of the Ximu clan.

Meanwhile, all the members of the Huan Gou clan had arrived.

The shaman of the Huan Gou clan, who had been following behind the West Mother's carriage, stepped forward and spoke.

"Mother Xi, the Emperor once entered the Su Guang Wilderness from here."

Xi Mu asked him, "What's inside?"

He said, “There is a country without intestines, where there is a great shaman. When the emperor came, he was not a great shaman, but now he has become a great shaman.”

West Mother: "What's his name?"

Answer: "No successor."

After asking her questions, Xi Mu was about to leave when the shaman of Huan Gou Clan spoke up again.

"I've only heard about it."

"The Emperor took something away from the wilderness of Su Guang and gave something to the Kingdom of Wu Chang for safekeeping."

"What the Emperor took away seems to be the transformation of a dead demon god that fell to earth, while what the Emperor left behind is in the Kingdom of Wuchang."

Xi Mu's eyes immediately changed, and no matter how much she suppressed her emotions, her voice revealed a change.

"What is it?"

The shaman of the Huan Gou clan clearly had ill intentions; he was just saying...

"Only Wuji, the great shaman of the Intestineless Kingdom, knows that."

Under the great sun.

As Xi Mu flew over the vast plains of Su Guang, she looked at this land and sensed the unusual nature of it all.

This place is as rich as a fertile plain, but its richness is extraordinary, seemingly blessed by nature yet harboring deadly dangers.

Since the emperor was able to come here, she would naturally assume that this place was extraordinary, especially since she had also heard the rumors.

Deep within the wilderness of Su Guang, there dwells a being whose power rivals that of the Candle Dragon.

The great river flowed down, and Xi Mu discovered the Intestineless Kingdom on its banks. Before she could even land, the kingdom's great shaman, Wu Ji, found her.

Wuji walked up to the city wall and began to bow to the Western Mother who had descended from the sky.

At the beginning, Wuji was extremely respectful.

Until Simeon asked him, "Where are the things the Emperor left behind?"

Wuji hesitated for a moment, then said, "In the Kingdom of No Intestines."

Xi Mu told her, "Give it to me!"

Wu Ji shook his head: "The Emperor did not order me to give it to the Western Mother, so I cannot hand it over."

Xi Mu: "I am the Imperial Witch, if you don't give it to me, who else do you want to give it to?"

Clearly, Xi Mu is not someone who can be given up on with just a few words.

Ever since she learned from Yu Jiang that the Emperor intended to select a true Emperor Witch among mortals, she began her search.

She had been away from the capital for a long time, chasing the sun from sunrise to sunset, almost without sleep. The people and shamans around her could feel the fatigue, but she showed no sign of stopping.

Perhaps, as she said, once she embarked on this path, she would never give up.

Wu Ji clearly had no intention of handing over the item, after all, it concerned the future of the Intestineless Kingdom and all its people.

At this moment, however, Mother Xi suddenly asked a question.

"Is it imperial blood?!"

Wuji raised his head, seemingly startled, but quickly regained his composure and remained silent for a while.

But his action seemed to be an admission of consent.

By the time he wanted to say something, it was too late.

Wuji looked up and saw that Ximu's shadow on the city wall began to grow incredibly tall, with layers of light emanating from Ximu's body.

Xi Mu's voice also lost its human quality, high above as if devoid of any emotion, majestic and cold like thunder.

"Give me!"

"The gutless witch".

Xi Mu's body began to mutate.

Layers upon layers of luminous feathers grew from her body, the light feathers radiating light and bearing wondrous patterns.

With its enormous wings spread out, it blocked the sky above Wuji's head, and a head popped out from the layers of light feathers, looking down at the gutless witch.

Wuji was also a great shaman, and this was his kingdom of mountains and seas. Faced with the power of the Western Mother, he ultimately chose to resist head-on.

His body also began to mutate, transforming from a human into a gigantic being with a human body and a snake tail. At this time, the people of the Intestineless Kingdom also emerged one by one and merged into his body.

Wuji's body swelled up more and more, giving off a feeling of great supernatural power that could manifest the heavens and the earth.

but.

Before Wuji and Ximu could even exchange blows, a voice suddenly appeared.

“I am also an Imperial Witch, so in principle I should also be entitled to what the Emperor left behind.”

Peach blossoms drifted down from the moonlight, and the shadow of a peach tree fell upon the city of the Intestineless Kingdom.

A priestess sat on a peach tree.

The ugly woman of the Hanhuang clan also appeared here. She looked at the great shaman Wuji on the city wall, and then her gaze fell on the Ximu at a higher place. She stared at her without any hesitation.

Upon seeing the female clown, Xi Mu did not hesitate to take action.

The target was not Wuji, the great shaman of the Wuchang Kingdom, but the emperor shaman of the Hanhuang clan, so it can be said that he showed no mercy.

"Chirp!"

The mother let out a sharp cry and flapped her wings downwards, sending thousands of feathers raining down like a torrential downpour, specifically targeting blind spots that were difficult to avoid.

It was as if she knew the enemy's weaknesses in advance and could see through their flaws.

The female clown stood up, raised her hand, and with a flick of her sleeve, a surge of power swept away all the light feathers in the sky.

Then, with another flick of the other hand, the layers of light feathers fell toward the West Mother.

Upon reaching the level of a Great Witch, her power differed somewhat from that of a Priestess or a Shaman, possessing unique characteristics specific to her.

Without flinching, Xi Mu lunged directly at Nü Chou.

The divine bird's sharp claws seemed capable of tearing through space, always finding the weakest point in the space to break through and attack the female clown's body.

Xi Mu lacks the power of space and the peach tree, so theoretically she shouldn't be able to see the true nature of Nü Chou's power. However, her combat prowess makes it seem as if she has seen through everything.

The layers of light feathers fell on Xi Mu and then merged back into her body, and nothing happened.

the other side.

As Xi Mu's sharp claws tore through the weakest and most concealable gap in space, they were about to strike the body of Nü Chou.

At this moment, the female clown clasped her hands together, as if she were silently reciting something.

Then, the shadow of a huge peach tree appeared behind it.

An unknown peach tree from the heavens appeared in the mortal realm, suppressing this space and interrupting the West Mother's attack, causing it to fall into empty space.

Xi Mu pounced down from the height, and although it seemed that every move was aimed at the female clown, the two actually just brushed past each other.

It's like a trick of perspective.

However, the force generated by their clash fell mercilessly upon this gutless land.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the entire country, both inside and outside the city, was reduced to a scene of utter devastation.

Most of the houses, stockades, and workshops in the city were destroyed, and the city walls collapsed, leaving the ground riddled with potholes.

This impact was also reflected in the great shaman Wuji.

He let out a scream.

Its body began to writhe, and the scales on its body fell off one by one, transforming into the Gutless People.

Finally, he looked at the ugly woman and the mother of the west and shouted loudly.

"If you want to fight, go outside and fight! Get out here..."

But before she could finish speaking, Xi Mu attacked the great shaman Wu Ji. Nü Chou was Xi Mu's enemy and a key rival in the struggle for the Emperor's Blood, but for Xi Mu, obtaining the Emperor's Blood was more crucial at this moment.

However, Xi Mu's gaze swept across the entire vast kingdom of mountains and seas, and she still did not know where the imperial blood was hidden. She could only find a flaw in Wu Ji's body.

Of course, if this Intestineless Kingdom is destroyed, the special existence of the Emperor's Blood will naturally be revealed, which can also be considered a solution.

Wuji, the great shaman of the Intestineless Kingdom, also joined the battle, so it was no longer a battle between two great shamans, but a melee of three.

As the three of them began to fight, the intensity and scale of the battle escalated, changes began to occur in the surrounding area, and more and more factors joined the battle.

The clown borrowed power from the heavens, and the peach grove in the heavens became her support.

The Great Witch Wuji integrated the people of the Mountain and Sea Kingdom and the Intestineless Kingdom into his body, and was even able to borrow power from the surrounding area.

Xi Mu had a large number of shamans and clansmen outside the Su Guang Wilderness who obeyed his commands. One by one, the shamans transformed into strange forms and rushed towards the Wu Chang Kingdom, while the clansmen of Xi Mu also flew towards the depths of the Su Guang Wilderness to help Xi Mu.

The three fought fiercely in the Kingdom of Wuchang and the Plains of Su Guang. Two of them were vying for the opportunity to become the Imperial Witch, while the other was fighting for the future of the Kingdom of Wuchang.

but.

As the foundation of the Intestineless Kingdom was about to be completely destroyed, its people began to be affected. Moreover, with the Intestineless Kingdom reduced to ruins, it was only a matter of time before the Emperor's Blood was discovered.

In the end, Da Wu Wu Ji chose to compromise.

Wu Ji let out a furious roar, a sound that shook the heavens and earth and could be heard for dozens of miles outside the city.

"Don't fight here."

"Xi Mu, Nü Chou, I admit defeat."

"If you are truly destined by Heaven, if the Emperor truly approves of you, then take the Emperor's blood and see if you can become true Emperor Witches."

Done.

Wuji relinquished his mutated form and gradually transformed back into a human.

As he concealed himself and walked toward the altar, one after another, people from the Intestineless Kingdom squeezed out from his body, watching him from behind Wuji.

He went to the altar of heaven and took out a red jade that looked like an eye from the pool.

He held the red jade high in his hand, pointing it towards the sky, and then knelt down on the ground.

He bowed to the four directions, as if he were offering sacrifices to heaven and earth in the past. He was praying to the emperor and telling him of his choice.

At this moment, both Xi Mu and Nü Chou chose to stop and quietly watch him, waiting for him to complete his prayers to the Emperor.

After he stood up, he told the Queen Mother of the West.

"None of us, including you, me, and her, can become Emperor Witches."

"Only mortals..."

He looked at Xi Mu, his angry expression gradually turning into calm, even with a hint of anticipation.

"Only humans can become the Emperor Witch, the Western Mother, and the Ugly Woman."

Wu Ji looked at Xi Mu and Nü Chou, who were displaying the forms of the demon god Qingniao and the demon god Taoshu. These two beings, who were known as Emperor Witches, were incredibly powerful, and could even be said to be the two most powerful witches in the world.

They were high above, seemingly possessing everything in the human world.

But precisely because of this, they can never become true imperial witches.

Thinking about this, Wu Ji felt a strange sense of pleasure.

Then, he blew a breath, and the "red jade" floated out of the city like a shooting star across the sky.

Xi Mu and Nü Chou immediately gave chase. Xi Mu was the fastest and rushed ahead, while Nü Chou glanced at Wu Ji as she leaped over the city wall, seemingly concerned about what Wu Ji had just said.

Next.

The great battle between Xi Mu and Nü Chou continues.

Xi Mu seized the Emperor's Blood first, but Nü Chou was hot on her heels.

The two great witches, Xi Mu and Nu Chou, possessed power that was truly boundless and all-encompassing; their own power was immense.

And as they borrowed the power of the two most powerful demon gods in the world through the Kingdom of Mountains and Seas and sacrificial rituals, they became like living demon gods.

The commotion caused by the fight between the two was unimaginable, and the damage and destruction they caused along the way could be described as earth-shattering.

The Queen Mother of the West transformed into a divine bird and flew across the sky, while the ugly woman transformed into a peach blossom and chased after the stars and moon with the wind. The clear light spread across the sky in front, and the peach blossoms adorned the wind and moon behind, making the scene look magnificent.

However, every single point of light falling from the sky is accompanied by the wailing of the creatures on earth.

They "ploughed" across the vast fields of millet, stretching the battlefield to the desolate wilderness, fighting relentlessly as if they intended to fight to the ends of the earth.

Meanwhile, news about the Emperor's Blood began to spread to every corner of the Great Wilderness, and everyone finally knew what the Western Mother was looking for.

"The Western Mother is not looking for the Emperor, but for the Emperor's blood."

"I heard that the Emperor killed a demon god in the wilderness of Su Guang."

"With Zhulong dead, what are the other demon gods?"

What is Imperial Blood?

"Whoever obtains the Emperor's blood will possess the Emperor's power."

“That is the true Emperor Witch.”

"A witch even stronger than Ximu and Nüchou."

The Queen Mother and the Ugly Girl, relying on the power of the demon god, fought fiercely, but along the way, there were always some foolish witches who would risk their lives to intervene.

Some only wanted to seize the Emperor's Blood, while others even wanted to join the battle between the two.

They believed they possessed some strange powers and unique abilities, so they thought they could exploit some loophole or take advantage of the situation.

They never understood the true nature of Xi Mu and Nü Chou's power. Xi Mu seemed to anticipate their moves, and all their attacks on Nü Chou missed their mark. Nü Chou was like a phantom from outer space.

However, their involvement brought the chaos to its peak.

Not at the foot of the mountain.

As the fight raged on, the female clown and the Western Mother went almost insane. They were bloodthirsty and began to disregard everything.

As their forces intertwined, they fell from the heights and crashed into the earth, annihilating the entire tribe.

The people of that tribe had just been gathered together eating dinner, with wisps of smoke rising into the sky, when in an instant they were wiped out by the combined forces of the two.

Looking at the majestic Buzhou Mountain, Nüchou once again looked down at the shattered earth beneath her feet.

suddenly.

The female clown seemed to remember something, and her bloodshot eyes gradually cleared up.

"wrong!"

"That's not right, that's not how it works."

"I'm here to find the Emperor, not to find the Emperor's blood."

The female clown looked into the distance and kept talking.

"The Emperor is not here; the Emperor's blood is merely the Emperor's blood."

The woman then ignored the mother and vanished in an instant beneath Mount Buzhou, her figure drifting away in a hazy, ethereal way.

Xi Mu stopped entangled with Nü Chou and tightly gripped Di Xue with one claw, remaining silent and her eyes looking extremely tense as if she might explode at any moment.

As the clown left, she gradually relaxed and slowly transformed into human form.

Looking at Xi Mu again at this moment, she seemed to have aged a lot.

She said, "I can finally become the Emperor Sorcerer."
-
The Land Without Guts.

Wuji was still using the power of the Ten Gods from Nuwa's Intestines to repair the Intestineless Kingdom. One shadow after another emerged from the river that overflowed from the earth, replacing the people of the Intestineless Kingdom who had disappeared before.

Everything seemed to have returned to normal, but Wuji stood on the altar looking somewhat lost.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared on him. Unlike Xi Mu, who immediately sensed the arrival of the other party, Wu Ji was completely unaware of the other party's arrival.

Wu Ji was startled and turned his head to see the female clown.

At the edge of the altar of Heaven, the ugly woman stood and asked him a question.

"What does the emperor look like?"

Wu Ji asked, "You are the Imperial Sorcerer of the Hanhuang Clan, haven't you ever seen the Emperor?"

The ugly woman said, "I have seen him from afar, shining as brightly as the sun and stars, but I have never truly seen the Emperor's face."

Wu Ji gave a detailed description, and the female clown listened quietly without interrupting him from beginning to end.

In Wuji's description, the other party was more like a person, rather than the existence she had in mind, like the sun and stars.

She didn't speak until the other person had finished speaking for a long time.

"I want to see him for real."

Then, she transformed into a peach blossom and vanished with the wind.

Xi Mu returned to the capital of the Emperor, wanting to become a true Imperial Witch.

Meanwhile, the ugly woman walks among the earth, still searching for the Emperor's whereabouts in the Great Wilderness, or perhaps gazing at the other side of the Yellow Springs from the Northern Sea.
