I manage female characters in all the heavens.

“Guihai Yidao!” Ba Dao interjected, “Do you think your father’s death was simple? He could use a woman to break my mental state, so he might do the same to Guihai Bailian. Think carefully about whether you want to work for him.”

Gui Haiyi's hand, which was holding the sword, trembled slightly.

“Shangguan Haitang.” Liu Sheng Piaoxu looked at Shangguan Haitang. “Your godfather sent you to investigate corruption among officials in various places back then. Do you know how many of those corrupt officials you uncovered were framed by Zhu Wushi?”

"He eliminated his rivals, cleared his name, and made you think he was a selfless and benevolent godfather—killing three birds with one stone, a very clever tactic!"

At this moment, the Unmarked Young Master spoke up, his voice filled with anguish: "Haitang, the deaths of your entire family were also caused by Zhu Wushi!"

Shangguan Haitang's face turned extremely pale at this moment.

The three of them looked at Zhu Wushi, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

Zhu Wushi remained silent for a moment before finally speaking: "Never mind..."

He slowly raised his head, looked at Duan Tianya and the other two, and a relieved smile appeared on his face: "What they said is true."

“Tianya, I killed Mian Kuangshiro. I also arranged for your love to be disrupted. Haitang, I did arrange for your whole family to be wiped out. I have also used you to eliminate many dissidents over the years.”

"It was just one stab. Your father's matter really had nothing to do with me. He lost control of his cultivation of the Hegemony of the World and was stabbed to death by your mother from behind with a dagger."

He paused, his voice filled with fervor and passion: "Over the years, I have secretly amassed power, won over court officials, befriended foreign powers, and trained a private army... all for the sake of one day ascending to the throne!"

"Why should Zhu Houzhao, a纨绔 (wán kù, a spoiled and dissolute young man), be allowed to sit on this throne?"

"My literary and military talents far surpass that emperor who only knows how to eat, drink, and be merry; my martial arts are unparalleled, and no one in the world can rival me; I have countless capable men under my command, and my influence extends throughout the court and the countryside—why can't I be the one to sit on this throne?!"

"Back then, when I wanted to marry Su Xin, the entire court opposed me, and I was powerless to stop it. At that time, I vowed to become the most powerful person in the world, so that no one could oppose me!"

His voice echoed in the hall, carrying a long-lost sense of joy.

"I've kept these words in my heart for over twenty years! Now that I've brought them up, I might as well say them out loud!"

“I know you came prepared today, I know Yunluo is pulling strings behind the scenes—but I, Zhu Wushi, have never been afraid of anyone in my life!”

"Come on! Show me what you've got!"

After he finished speaking, he shook his arms, and an even more powerful aura erupted from his body!

The sheer power of that aura caused everyone in the hall to involuntarily take a step back!

What's even more shocking is that his aura actually increased once again at this moment!

Gu Santong's expression changed: "He...he's having an epiphany?!"

"Hahahaha!" Zhu Wushi laughed loudly, "I've held back these words for over twenty years, and I've finally said them today! This feeling is so exhilarating!"

He seemed completely transformed, his eyes filled with an unprecedented clarity and understanding!

boom--!!!

His true energy surged once again, and he became like a war god descended to earth, dominating all directions!

"Come on! Let me see what right you ants have to oppose me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he made the first move!

He unleashed a palm strike, the wind from which slammed down like a dragon, directly targeting the closest tyrant blade!

Ba Dao swung his sword to block, but was blasted away by the palm strike, sword and all, and crashed heavily into the wall!

Immediately afterwards, he swung his claw back and grabbed at the throat of the Unmarked Young Master!

Although Wuhen Gongzi's lightness skill was fast, it was no match for Zhu Wushi after his upgrade!

He narrowly avoided the claw, but was struck on the shoulder by Zhu Wushi's finger wind, and was sent flying backward!

Gu Santong shouted loudly, unleashing his Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill at full power, and punched Zhu Wushi in the back!

Zhu Wushi didn't even turn his head, and instead met the attack with a backhand palm strike!

boom--!!!

The two terrifying forces collided, and Gu Santong was shaken back repeatedly, shattering the floor tiles with each step!

"How is this possible?!" Gu Santong exclaimed in shock. "How did your skill level suddenly increase so much?!"

Zhu Wushi laughed heartily, "Thank you all for letting me let go of my long-held obsession, which actually helped me break through my bottleneck."

"I've finally figured it out. As long as I have unparalleled martial arts skills, I can just kill anyone who opposes me. Why bother with all those schemes and tricks?"

"I will crush all who dare to resist with overwhelming force!"

He glanced around, his gaze arrogant: "Now, dare you fight me?!"

Chapter 189 The End of Martial Arts, The Number One Under Heaven (The End)

Inside the main hall, there was a deathly silence. Then, without hesitation, the eight people joined forces to attack Zhu Wushi!

A fierce wind raged, the air wailed, and a destructive torrent echoed in the void, forcing the distraught Duan Tianya and his two companions to retreat from the main hall.

However, even with eight top experts surrounding him, Zhu Wushi, after his enlightenment, still managed to defeat them one after another!

Before his enlightenment, Gu Santong alone could go toe-to-toe with Zhu Wushi using his Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill.

After his sudden enlightenment, Zhu Wushi knocked Gu Santong out of his Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill state with a single palm strike.

This made everyone feel suffocated.

Just then, a voice came from outside the main hall.

"Uncle, your skills are truly unparalleled. I admire you, I admire you."

The voice was cool and indifferent, with a hint of lazy laughter.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

A figure was slowly walking towards the entrance of the main hall.

She wore a gorgeous golden dress, the hem of which shimmered in the sunlight, as if she were draped in a rosy glow.

Her face was stunningly beautiful, yet it carried an air of indifference that looked down upon all living beings. Her eyes were as deep as the starry sky, as if they contained endless stars.

Her steps were light, but each step caused the entire hall to tremble slightly.

The moment she stepped into the main hall—

The world has changed color!

The once clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds!

The wind howled and thunder roared!

An unparalleled aura, as tangible as a physical entity, spread out, filling the space between heaven and earth, and triggering extraordinary phenomena!

The sheer power of that aura sent a chill down the spines of everyone present.

That's not the difference between strong and weak, but the difference between humans and gods.

It is the humility and insignificance of an ant looking up at the sky.

Zhu Wushi's pupils suddenly contracted, and his breath froze at that moment!

He looked at the girl standing at the entrance of the main hall, and for the first time, a look of genuine horror appeared on his face!

"Yun...Luo?!"

How could it be... this powerful?

You've only had the Absorption Technique for two years, and it's still incomplete. Did you absorb the power of everyone in the entire martial arts world?!

"Royal Uncle." Yunluo smiled slightly and raised his right hand. "I heard you've broken through. Congratulations."

As she spoke, she spread her five fingers and suddenly clenched them in Zhu Wushi's direction!

boom--!!!

An invisible force, like the sky collapsing, crashed down!

The eight top experts only felt a gentle breeze on their faces, and nothing else.

But the main hall collapsed in an instant!

Zhu Wushi felt as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on him, causing him to bend over!

He gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength to try to resist that force!

But that force was just too strong!

They were stronger than he could comprehend!

The floor tiles beneath his feet began to crack, his knees gradually bent, veins bulged on his forehead, and his face turned red!

"This...how is this possible?!"

Yunluo withdrew his hand and stood with his hands behind his back: "Royal Uncle, do you think your martial arts are invincible?"

She shook her head, a hint of pity in her voice: "You just... haven't seen the real sky."

As soon as she finished speaking, she stepped into the sky and looked down at Zhu Wushi.

"Today, I'm going to show you what it means to be out of your depth."

She raised her right hand, palm facing the sky.

A surge of powerful true energy erupted from her body, like a torrent bursting its banks, soaring straight into the sky!

In the sky, the dark clouds were stirred up by that force, forming a huge vortex!

Lightning surged through the clouds, the wind howled, and the world changed color!

The entire capital city witnessed this scene!

Everyone looked up at the huge vortex in the sky, as if a god was looking down on the world from the center of the vortex!

"Yunluo" stood proudly in the sky, her magnificent golden dress shimmering in the sunlight, making her dazzlingly beautiful.

Her overwhelming true energy stirred up the wind and clouds, and boundless demonic power filled the heavens and earth. She was like a peerless demon god who held the sun in her hand, and she struck out with a palm.

That palm strike looked light and effortless, lacking any real power.

But in the instant she took the photo—

The dark clouds overhead suddenly burst open!

A gigantic, translucent palm print, shimmering with a blend of gold and blue light, crashed down from the sky with earth-shattering power!
