Immediately after the news spread of the Azure Emperor's death, the three Empires quickly mobilised their experts aiding each other for the first time in history. Why? Because of fear, an individual capable of killing the Azure Emperor is someone fully capable of killing them!
This is something they could not accept, they were wary of the individual which supposedly defeated the Azure Emperor; they stated that it was an eighteen-year-old young-girl!
They didn't truly fully believe this, as they spent hundreds of years just to reach the Rank 9 Houtian, but if it was the truth, then that young girl will inevitably surpass them, so if they did nothing and just watched them will be hopeless against her! Each of them was Empires which ruled for over a hundred years, could they accept having someone above them in this circumstance?
Therefore, each of them decided that no matter the risk they must remove this threat now otherwise it may never present them an opportunity to do ever again!
Thus, out of the sheer risk of each of them losing their Empires not to mentioning their deaths for letting the true individual in charge of the Azure Empire eventually surpasses them enabling them to trample on them as they please, for the first time in the Azure Continent history three Empires have created an alliance!
They were fully confident in being able to defeat the expert which defeated the Azure Emperor with the combination of all three as they figured that even though the Azure Emperor must have caused the battle to be strenuous for the expert with it requiring a lot of effort to defeat him!
With each of them gathered together, they purely brought their Houtian Cultivators to reach the coronation of the new Emperor!
To be honest, each of them was not only doing this for the threat the Azure Empire poses to their respective Empires but because of greed! They always wanted to take over another Empire to gain more territory and wealth, these Empires were always deeply jealous of the Azure Empire having Devil's Peak within its territory causing it to have a large amount of wealth. In fact, if the previous Emperor didn't squander so much of the wealth gained from Devil's Peak then the Azure Empire by now could likely directly compete with the Holy Empire in Houtian Cultivators! This shows how large a reward would be by gaining the Azure Empires territory!
Beforehand, they each divided the territory equally between them and also will all split the earnings from Devil's Peak, they agreed upon as the Holy Empire will still make many times more than the other Empires especially if they only have an equal share, so didn't mind not taking a dominant amount despite being by far the stronger of the other two Empires.
They soon arrived at Azure Empire, alongside nine other Houtian Cultivators from each of their respective Empires. They arrogantly barged in, the guards of the Azure Empire not even being able to withstand a single attack, as the other Houtian Cultivators cleared a path for their Emperors.
The Pope and Two Emperors proudly raise their head looking at the murderous-looking civilians of the Azure Empire and saying, "Don't look at us with such displeasure! We will be your new rulers soon enough." Each of them laughed with confident expressions as they see no other possibility for the Azure Empire being able to get out of this situation.
"Mmm. Look at you acting so arrogantly in our country! Wait, until Mrs Dana comes out, then you will go running back like frightened chickens!" Shouted a young man which lost his temper after seeing the Emperors mocking his country.
As Kaiden already informed the Empire that the one who defeated the Azure Emperor was Dana, it caused many to know her name making her have many individuals which idolise her strength throughout Azure Empire! So, it was no surprise that someone in the Capital knows her name.
After the Young man responded to the Empires, the crowd receiving motivation did the same, making the Three Emperors burn in shame that these commoners dare to talk back to them.
The Eranyth Emperor launched a strike severely injuring the young man, the crowd upon witnessing this scene became silent, obviously afraid that the Emperors will attack them if they continue to insult them!
"The only reason I let you live boy is so you can experience seeing Mrs Dana die to our hands and watching as we take over your Azure Empire!" Mocked the Eranyth Empire.
After that statement, the Pope and Two Emperors arrived at the Azure Palace continuing acting haughtily the entire way there. In fact, the Pope was even more audacious as usually, he kept a "righteous" image in the Holy Empire but now being inside another Empire where he can act unrestrainedly he revealed his true character!
Soon enough the Pope and two Emperors arrived where the ceremony was occurring, any guards they met in the way defeated unable to even put up slight resistance towards each of their Houtian cultivation.
They searched their eyes landing on a particular person in the ceremony; it was an astonishingly beautiful woman with a powerful aura causing even them to feel an instinctual danger, they immediately knew this was Mrs Dana the cultivator that defeated the Azure Emperor.
Looking at her appearance she wasn't over-exaggerated at all in terms of age, looking at her she seemed to be merely 18-years of age, with her age she will definitely overtake within the next few years! They each signed in relief at being able to take care of such a looming threat if they left her to develop then she will surely take over their Empires sooner or later!
After getting to the crowning of Kaiden were they were about to announce him becoming the new Emperor of the Azure Emperor, the Pope stepped forward shouting; "I Pope Astritus of the Holy Kingdom according to God's will state you are unworthy to be the new Emperor of the Azure Empire!" The shout of the Pope resounded throughout the ceremony hall as all the nobles notice that all the Three Empires Houtian Cultivators are here, even including the Emperors themselves! Upon seeing such a force, they subconsciously looked towards Dana thinking even though she is strong, can she truly handle this?
However, it seemed Dana was unperturbed at all seeing such a force, in fact, she grinned in amusement as if it all a game for her.
"You think you can come here uninvited and act all mighty towards me?" Dana's voice coldly spoke causing many to shiver instinctively at the threat laced within.
"Hmm. So what if we come here uninvited? Only strained rules this continent, and the strong rules the weak! Being the stronger party it is only right we come here and take what we want!" The Pope grinned, looking at Dana with a perverted expression.
"I guess your right. The strong rules weak." Dana responded.
"So you finally realised how fruitless it is to resist and turned yourself over to us? I tell you what serve us to the best of your abilities and if we enjoy ourselves, we might spare you crippling your martial cultivation first but at least you will keep your life!" Lechery said the Pope with a clear longing in his eyes whilst looking at Dana's appearance.
The other Emperors murmured in agreement, similar to the Pope ever since seeing Dana they all looked at her with clear lust within her eyes.
The nobles in the room looked despondent seeing Dana lose hope against the Houtian Cultivators, they initially had a slight hope in Dana but her response crushed this making them feel helpless of the current situation.
"I don't think you understand the true gravity of the situation you brought upon yourself. The weak one isn't me, it is you." After Dana's spoke, she launched an attack instantly splattering a Houtian Ranked Cultivator into pieces.
Stupefied looks emerge from the Emperors as they saw their own subordinate killed before their eyes without even be able to make the slightest of reaction. They finally realised the grave error they made! Looking at Dana's beautiful appearance what once ignited looks of lust, turned into pure terror for provoking such a monster! A predatory smile graced Dana's beautiful face, making the Pope feel that the figure in front of him is a beast instead of a human! Without hesitation, they turn to escape.
"You think you can escape from me?" Said Dana, launching spears made of Earth Qi and Ice Qi towards the Houtian Cultivators. The spears instantly impaled three Houtian Cultivators killing them in one strike! Dana then continuously launched strike after a strike and soon enough all the subordinates of the three Emperors died within just a mere twenty seconds.
Seeing their subordinates being killed like flies, dread fills the Pope and Two Emperors, they now have no means for escape! They originally planned on using them as meat shields, but they were easily dealt with by Dana making this no longer plausible!
"Please mercy... " The Pope pleaded. The other Two Emperors quickly followed his example, showing the mess they ended up in.
Seeing the once scornful looking men pleading for mercy disgusted Dana, one minute they were acting so arrogant and now I prove them to be weaker, they beg for mercy. They are classic examples of bullying the weak but worshipping the strong!
She felt nauseated by these types of individuals, without a second thought Dana ended the lives of all three.
Seeing how easily she dealt with the most powerful figures on this continent made Dana realized that she has outlived this continent and it is time to move onto a bigger newer continent! She knows the only way to improve her strength is to find better resources, which the Azure Continent can no longer provide her.
Concluding her decision, she decided she will remain for a week before leaving. Turning around, she saw the gathering of nobles were silent at the sight before them. Seeing how ruthless Dana was has caused them to be fearful of her, they decided that they will never betray the Empire no matter what situation occurred or they may end up like the Pope and Two Emperors before them!
Noticing the silence Dana sounded, "Well, what are you waiting for? Just finish crowning him the Emperor so I can leave already."
