Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

……

The Pearl City, located on the southeastern coast.

The so-called Crimson Goddess is now seated in the grand altar, which was converted from the former government office, handling the political affairs of the Great Chen under her rule.

Although she only occupied two and a half states, she had already established a national title, and now, in addition to the title of Crimson Goddess, she also calls herself 'King of Qingxi'.

This person had golden hair and wore a long robe with white and gold trim. Her face was fair and dignified, making her a beauty, but she lacked the gentleness of ordinary women of this era. Instead, she always maintained a serious, solemn, and untouchable demeanor.

Her slender fingers gripped a fine brush, and she was writing something on the document in front of her.

Before I finished writing, I heard hurried footsteps outside.

The footsteps approached quickly, and a messenger ran into the room, knelt down, and raised his hands, saying:

"Goddess, General Wang, who was sent to sweep through the area, was defeated by the Dark Heavenly Sect. More than two thousand people scattered and fled. The deputy general tried his best, but could only gather five hundred!"

"Defeated?" The Crimson Goddess stopped writing, her pale gray eyes falling on the messenger, her tone growing colder:

"Two thousand against one thousand, how did you lose?"

"My lord, there is a demon among the Dark Heaven Sect's people!" the messenger said nervously.

"After General Wang gave the order, he led his troops to charge into the enemy lines. Before they reached the halfway point, the enemy began to scatter. But suddenly, a red-clad demon emerged from among them, wielding a sword that drew blood. Dozens of men were then torn apart in the chest and abdomen. The army was thrown into chaos. The demon then charged in and killed over a hundred more. General Wang was also beheaded amidst the thousands of soldiers!"

Then, shouts of "demon" came from all directions. The generals thought that demons were no match for mortals, and only a goddess could possibly defeat them. So they all hurriedly fled back.

"Demons?" She frowned.

"I originally thought the Dark Heaven Sect was just a clever name used to compete with me for power, but now it seems to have some substance. Is it really a mortal sect of the Great Dark Heaven...?"

A moment later, the Crimson Goddess with her golden hair said again, "Tell me more about what that demon looks like."

"Yes!" The messenger, having previously experienced the battlefield, naturally couldn't forget the terrifying scene. He used all the words he knew to try his best to describe it:

"The demon was dressed in red, wielding two swords. With a single stride, it covered a hundred meters, and with a swing of its sword, heads flew off, black hair stained with blood fluttered, and wherever it passed, blood rained down..."

He stammered for a few minutes, while the Crimson Goddess's expression grew increasingly gloomy.

"So, it's only natural that General Wang's army was defeated after encountering demons... You just said that her five fingers could grow bones?"

The person who made the rumor nodded quickly.

"That is indeed an evil spell, but we don't know where this demon came from... According to historical records, demons should not exist in isolation; they should appear in groups."

She pressed her temples:

"But there is only one rumor in this world about the Blood Demon, and this Blood Demon may be the demon who led the Dark Heaven Sect to attack."

"Can the goddess defeat the demons?"

Seeing that the goddess was only slightly annoyed and not flustered at all, the messenger asked expectantly.

"They're nothing but demons. Our Pure Fire Ming Cult's magic is meant for slaying demons and eliminating evil." The Crimson Goddess chuckled softly.

"How dare these demons harm my military headquarters and destroy my religious altar! I hereby order you to assemble your troops in front of Pearl City at dawn tomorrow and then set out to attack!"

"Yes!"

"Furthermore," the Crimson Goddess said, having finished discussing the demons, then inquired about something even more important to her:

"How is the progress of the massive ship I've been building, which has cost a fortune?"

"Your Grace, although the hull of the ship is now complete and can barely enter the sea... it was constructed in only six months of emergency work, and the timber was not dried properly, resulting in slightly inferior quality. It will only last two or three years at most before it rots and loosens..."

“That’s enough,” the Crimson Goddess nodded.

"After I slay the demons, I will launch the large ship into the water and set sail for the Far East on a chosen day, crossing the Chonghai Sea to reach the legendary realm ruled by the Pure Fire Venerable."

She led a rebellion not for the sake of the common people, nor to make her subordinates live a better life.

Everything she does now is for the purpose of plundering and gathering resources, and controlling the power of all people to build her a colossal ship, unlike any other in the world, so that she can cross the ocean and reach the legendary Pure Fire Venerable in the Far East.

After speaking, the Crimson Goddess shifted her gaze to the corner of the long table to the side.

There, a book gleaming with a faint golden light rests quietly.

The book's cover features layers of flame-like, twisted yet uniform patterns, and four characters are written on the cover.

"Blazing Spirit Heavenly Law".

……

Some time ago.

Two hundred miles west of Mingzhu City, in the battlefield that had already ended.

Xi Heng had just single-handedly dealt with the attacking army of the Jingming Sect, and was now quietly wiping his long sword with a silk cloth amidst the pile of corpses.

The blood on the sword was wiped away, and it gleamed coldly once more.

The girl sheathed her sword, glanced around at the familiar scene of piles of corpses, and then, without paying any attention, moved back to her subordinates who were so stunned they didn't know what to say.

"You did a pretty good job."

Even before these ragtag soldiers had actually engaged the enemy, they had already begun to flee in panic.

However, at least their retreat was somewhat orderly, with no trampling and none of the eight hundred people killed or injured.

As for why only eight hundred people remained, it was naturally because they were lost in battles with other branches of the Jingming Sect along the way.

"I thought you would run away as soon as you saw the enemy's army, but I didn't expect you to be able to hold out until the enemy launched an attack before you started to flee."

Xi Heng casually said, "It seems that all the victories we've accumulated so far haven't been in vain."

Upon hearing these words, most of the soldiers at the front felt a pang of guilt.

The leader of the troops was so ashamed that he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

"You don't need to participate in the upcoming battle against the Crimson Goddess; I can handle it alone."

Although Xi Heng was speaking frankly, to the soldiers below, it sounded more like sarcasm.

But no one dared to refute this, only thinking that they should train hard when they got back.

"As for you all, just watch from afar."

After saying that, Xi Heng turned around and continued eastward, leaving the battlefield.

Senior Sister Hongmiao followed behind, silently gazing at the hundreds of strangely shaped and terrifying corpses piled up on top of each other.

Although she had seen her junior sister kill people before, and even last time she directly turned hundreds of people into mummies using evil magic.

But from that massacre, one could still see a hint of unfamiliarity in Xi Heng's movements.

But now, he has become extremely skilled at it.

I wonder how many people my junior sister killed during the time she left Jiangning City...

……

Three more days later.

Xi Heng led his men along the official road. Before they could even see the capital city where the Crimson Goddess resided, they saw a cloud of dust rising high in the distance.

At first, only a few cavalrymen carrying tall banners could be seen in the dust, and then a dense crowd emerged from behind.

The soldiers at the front were all wearing paper armor and carrying shields and swords, making them significantly stronger than the miscellaneous soldiers led by Xi Heng.

Moreover, the troops behind them came in an almost continuous stream, first swordsmen and shieldmen, then spearmen and archers.

At the very front, a woman dressed in a white robe, with her golden hair flowing freely, rode on a white horse, looking down from afar with considerable arrogance.

Xi Heng raised his hand to signal his followers to stop.

The enemy forces in the distance, whose exact numbers were unknown, gradually stopped.

"Who goes there?" she casually uttered a standard opening line.

"Before asking questions of others, one should first state one's own name."

The enemy general, a woman in a white robe, spoke coldly from afar.

The person's tone was not loud, yet his voice could easily travel a hundred meters and clearly reach Xi Heng's ears, indicating that his internal strength was also considerable.

"Oh." Xi Heng replied casually, "I am Zhao Xi Heng, the Compassionate Saintess of the Dark Heavenly Sect. Today, I am leading my men to attack your heretical Pure Bright Sect and kill the Crimson Heaven Goddess."

"The person before you is the Great Chen Qingxi King, the Crimson Heaven Goddess Chen Fenghuo. My head is right here. Can you take it?" The other party was not threatened at all.

"I can tell you are." Xi Heng yawned, still nonchalant:

"Do you have that spellbook with you? I want to claim the loot after you die."

"How arrogant!" the other party said coldly. "The Blazing Spirit Heavenly Law is never out of my sight. If you want it, come and take it yourself!"

"it is good."

Xi Heng quite likes this straightforward guy, but he doesn't know how he'd feel killing him.

She leaped off her horse and was about to draw her sword and charge forward when her senior sister beside her reminded her:

"Be careful, something's strange."

Xi Heng paused, his gaze sweeping over, and he also noticed what his senior sister meant by the strangeness.

The enemy general's sleeves, as well as the arms of other cavalrymen around him, were faintly glowing with a pale yellow light.

The enemy was clearly prepared to fight back, so Xi unleashed a sword strike first.

The sword flashed, and blood splattered.

The transformed energy and blood burst forth, transforming into a massive, ever-expanding sword aura that struck the enemy general on horseback in the distance.

Seeing that she could not dodge, the Crimson Goddess immediately raised her right hand and released a spell.

A dragon's roar resounded, and a fire dragon spewed from her sleeve, crashing head-on into the surging sword energy.

The fire dragon collided with the sword energy, instantly bursting forth with countless flames that shattered and dissipated together.

"Ok?"

Upon seeing this, the Crimson Goddess frowned.

In her opinion, this fire dragon technique should have broken through the sword energy and directly smashed into the enemy's formation.

"You're a martial arts master at the Transformation Realm?"

She stared intently at the demon's appearance, recalling the various rumors she had heard about martial artists who had mastered the Transformation Realm.

Gradually, he recalled the story that circulated after Fang Tiande's death. He was killed by a martial arts master dressed in red who was identified as the Princess of the Great Zhao Dynasty.

That princess is now known in the martial arts world as the 'King-Slaying Sword'.

At the same time, she also recalled the name of the legendary Princess of Zhao.

She frowned, sensing a slight threat.

She wasn't afraid of ordinary martial arts masters; she could defeat them as long as she paid a certain price.

But the King-Slaying Sword was no ordinary weapon; legend has it that the opponent used only a few strikes to kill Fang Tiande.

Many even believe that, in terms of swordsmanship alone, the King-Slaying Sword may already be among the top five in the world.

Obviously, you can't hide from this kind of person.

She gently flicked her left hand upwards, and a pale yellow light flashed, causing a shield of white light to appear around her.

Then, with a flick of his finger, a huge fireball suddenly condensed in the air and hurtled towards the formidable enemy at the front with the speed of an arrow.

Xi Heng raised his sword and sliced ​​the fireball in two, then continued to slash at the woman in white.

bang——

The sword energy, which had passed a hundred meters and was weakened by the fireball, struck the white light shield around the opponent, causing only a ripple, not even a crack.

Xi Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and said:

"Your magic... is quite authentic."

Her Blood Sea Technique consists entirely of offensive spells.

The spells the opponent possessed included both offensive and defensive techniques, making them far more comprehensive than the Blood Sea Great Art, which was considered an evil art, and clearly more aligned with the orthodox path.

Furthermore, it appears to be even more powerful.

No... it's possible that they just used more spiritual energy.

Xi Heng pondered – before killing the opponent, she could first test their magic.
