"Empress Yue!"
Hearing this title, the King-level figures trembled.
"Emperor" was not an ordinary title. Even saints were not qualified to use it. In this era, only those at the level of a Great Emperor could bear such a title.
Could it be that this woman, looking like a fairy, was a Great Emperor?
"Do you recognize me?"
Empress Yue turned towards Yun Mengli.
"I once saw Empress Yue from a distance at Zhonghai Super Base!"
Yun Mengli exclaimed excitedly.
This was a Great Emperor! To speak with a Great Emperor was an immense honor, and Empress Yue was not only the founder of the Moon God Sect but also one of the foremost Great Emperors at Zhonghai Super Base, one of the Thirty-Six Emperors, far beyond common emperor-level experts.
At this moment.
The other King-levels were stunned, staring at Yun Mengli. His expression was overly exaggerated, placing himself in a very low and humble position, even referring to himself as a lowly person!
They couldn't fathom the power and status of Empress Yue, and thus couldn't relate to Yun Mengli's feelings.
But the next moment, Ye Tian's words not only shocked Yun Mengli but also left all the King-levels dumbfounded.
"Yue'er, stay here for a while, I'll go and catch up with them."
Ye Tian said with a smile.
"I can stay aside and won't disturb you!"
Empress Yue walked to Ye Tian's side, holding his hand.
"Alright then!"
Ye Tian agreed.
Yun Mengli's pupils contracted in disbelief.
Initially, he thought Empress Yue was here with Ye Tian merely as a companion, like a superior accompanying a suboordinate.
But now, Ye Tian was calling Empress Yue 'Yue'er', and she was even holding his hand.
Heavens!
Empress Yue, known for her cold disposition and disinterest in men, was actually won over by Ye Tian?
And she was a Great Emperor!
Yue Ling was also shocked. She guessed the identity of Empress Yue, who must be a Great Emperor, far surpassing saints in power. Yet this powerful Empress had become Ye Tian's woman.
Ye Tian's villa wasn't big, and it was somewhat crowded with so many King-level figures.
Therefore, Yun Mengli led Ye Tian and Empress Yue to the largest pavilion.
Atop the pavilion,
Ye Tian and Empress Yue sat above, while Yun Mengli and others sat below.
"Yun Mengli, has there been any trouble at Demon Sea Super Base in the last two years?"
Ye Tian asked.
Yun Mengli stood up and replied, "Lord Ye Tian, since the space rift incident, Demon Sea Super Base has been very quiet, without any issues. Although many ferocious beasts emerged from the space rift, they were all easily suppressed."
Ye Tian inquired about a few more matters, and Yun Mengli recounted them one by one.
Suddenly.
Ye Tian said gravely, "Yun Mengli, there's something I need to tell you. I plan to enter the beast world opposite the three-star rift and hope that Demon Sea Super Base will temporarily shut down its top array. I could ignore the array, but breaking and rebuilding it would be a considerable loss for Demon Sea Super Base."
Upon hearing this, Yun Mengli was alarmed and said, "Lord Ye Tian, beings saint level and above cannot pass through a three-star space rift without backlash!"
Ye Tian waved his hand and said solemnly, "I'm aware of that, but I'm confident I won't suffer much backlash. I just ask that the array masters of Demon Sea Super Base shut down the array at that time. Otherwise, if I forcefully tear through the space rift, the top-level array definitely won't hold. I'm informing you, not asking for permission. Do you understand?"
Yun Mengli panicked, realizing that the Ye Tian before him was no ordinary person. A few years ago, his power had already reached the saint level, far exceeding ordinary saints, and even emperor-level beings from another realm couldn't kill him.
And now, Ye Tian's power might have grown even further, much stronger than before.
Moreover, Ye Tian had a woman whose strength was among the top in Zhonghai Super Base — Empress Yue!
If he dared to contradict Ye Tian, it would be suicidal!
"Lord Ye Tian, I understand!"
Yun Mengli bowed his head.
"Alright, then it's settled. I will go to the space rift in a few days and will inform you then!"
Ye Tian decided the matter with these words.
Soon after, Ye Tian and Empress Yue left.
Shortly after their departure, a King-level figure eagerly asked, "King Yun Mengli, who is Empress Yue, and why do you show such respect to her?"
Yun Mengli solemnly explained, "You should already know about saints who are above King-levels, right? In Zhonghai Super Base, saints are categorized as ordinary saints, minor saints, great saints, and saint-kings in terms of power. Above saints are emperors, who are divided into ordinary emperors and the Thirty-Six Emperors. The Thirty-Six Emperors are the most powerful among emperors, each capable of easily annihilating a group of great emperors. Empress Yue is ranked among the top few emperors and is the first-ranked female emperor of Zhonghai Super Base, having established a top-tier power sect."
"Hss!"
The King-levels gasped in astonishment.
The identity of Empress Yue was too powerful; compared to her, they were mere ants!
"Lord Ye Tian actually won over Empress Yue? Unbelievable!" many King-levels exclaimed.
"Yes, I'm also very shocked!" Yun Mengli said, "When I was at Zhonghai Super Base, I heard that within ten meters of Empress Yue, no man is allowed, even great emperors of the same level dare not approach her within ten meters. It's said that Empress Empress Yueslikes men. The sect she established is also all-female, and yet she is now with Lord Ye Tian, and she doesn't seem to be domineering at all, which is really strange!"
"Maybe this is the power of love!"
A King-level figure commented.
Because of love!
That was the only explanation they could think of.
In the following days, Ye Tian and Empress Yue visited Demon Sea Super Base and even returned to Linhai Base to see Ye Tian's original home.
However, they didn't notify the martial warriors of Linhai Base and left in a hurry after a brief visit.
One day.
Ye Tian informed Yun Mengli and the others that he was about to go to the three-star space rift 557 and asked them to be prepared.
———–
At the three-star space rift.
Inside the top array.
A group of array masters were already prepared.
Whoosh!
Two figures arrived, Ye Tian and Empress Yue.
"Greetings to Lord Ye Tian, greetings to Empress Yue!"
The Kings and array masters welcomed them.
Yun Mengli also came to observe, curious about Ye Tian's venture into the space rift.
Of course.
He believed the real force would be Empress Yue; Ye Tian probably didn't have the capability, but he dared not voice this thought.
"Take down the array!"
Ye Tian commanded.
"Yes!"
The array masters began dismantling some of the array platforms to prevent them from being shattered later, as rebuilding them would require a lot of materials and time.
Soon, the top array was dismantled.
Crack!
The three-star space rift, no longer suppressed by the array, slowly began to revert to its original state, quickly restoring to the level of a three-star space rift.
"Ye Tian, be careful!"
Empress Yue held Ye Tian's hand, advising him.
"Don't worry!"
Ye Tian patted the back of Empress Yue's hand, smiling slightly.
The King-levels and array masters retreated, while Ye Tian stepped closer to the space rift.
