Do You Want Me To Be The Villain Like That?? Open Your Eyes And See

Chapter 71: The Beginning

In the Flame Immortal Continent, the Immortal Phoenix Emperor Dynasty was alive with celebration today due to the ascension of the new emperor. Everyone was expressing their joy and happiness throughout the land because the new emperor, or rather empress, was renowned for her exceptional governance, care for the people, and unparalleled cultivation talent that had earned the admiration of all.

In the vast ceremonial square, Feng Yi, dressed in an imperial robe of red adorned with elegant and powerful golden patterns, ascended the throne with grace. All eyes were on her, filled with respect and anticipation.

Suddenly, her father, the former emperor, approached her, carrying out the formal ritual of passing the Immortal Phoenix Emperor's seal to her. Feng Yi accepted the seal with a determined smile, turning to the crowd that had gathered in great numbers, and proclaimed in a resonant voice:

"From this day forth, I, Feng Yi, the 115th Empress of the Immortal Phoenix Emperor Dynasty, will bring prosperity to this dynasty and make it stronger than ever before."

Immediately, everyone knelt and chanted in unison, their voices echoing across the square:

"Long live the Empress!"

"Long live the Empress!"

"Long live the Empress!"

But amid the celebration, a cold and challenging voice suddenly rang out from outside the square.

"Do you think you truly deserve that throne?"

Everyone turned toward the source of the voice to see a young man standing among the crowd, his face full of disdain. Behind him stood many others who had accompanied him.

Feng Yi turned to look at her father, who nodded calmly, as if he had anticipated this moment.

The man was none other than the 7th prince of the dynasty, Feng Ming, who had often been overlooked. He was a child whom few paid attention to, being perceived as foolish, lacking in cultivation talent, and withdrawn from the royal family. But today was different. The once-ignored prince now stood with five high-level Immortal Emperors and 21 others of varying ranks floating in the sky behind him, exuding an intimidating aura.

Feng Ming stepped forward confidently, his gaze fixed on Feng Yi with a challenging look.

"Sister, I think you should let me take the throne instead! What do you say?"

Feng Yi remained calm and composed. She turned to the followers behind Feng Ming with a cold gaze before replying in a powerful voice:

"Do you think you're superior to me just because you're relying on those behind you? If so, then you really are as foolish as the rumors say."

Standing regally on the throne, Feng Yi looked at Feng Ming and his group with disdain, her voice cold and resolute as she commanded, "Kill them all."

Immediately, a massive army of black phoenix-armored soldiers emerged from the shadows—10 million in total. All were at the peak of the Celestial Immortal level, each exuding strength and readiness for battle.

Feng Ming, who had been confident moments earlier, was shocked at the sight of the massive army. However, his confidence did not waver entirely. He smirked and said,

"So what if you have a large force? They're just Celestial Immortals—they're not enough to defeat us!"

Feng Yi said nothing and merely looked at her father. The former emperor, seated behind her, cast a stern gaze at Feng Ming. He smiled faintly and waved his hand once, unleashing a massive burst of power that struck Feng Ming's group immediately.

Though the attack was powerful, the former emperor had not intended to kill them. His energy forced everyone above the Immortal King level to retreat violently. Even the Immortal Emperors supporting Feng Ming were injured, though not fatally, leaving them unable to fight at full strength.

Feng Ming, who had been smirking moments ago, was now stunned. He tried to say something, but seeing the 10 million-strong Black Phoenix Army uniting their power to attack, he realized that even a force of Celestial Immortals at the peak level could seriously injure a low-level Immortal Emperor. As the massive energy blast approached him rapidly, he decided to use a teleportation array to escape immediately. He knew that with his father having aided his sister, there was no longer any place for him in the Immortal Phoenix Emperor Dynasty. The other Immortal Emperors in his group quickly followed suit, fleeing and leaving behind the lower-ranked forces to be ruthlessly slaughtered by the Black Phoenix Army.

Feng Yi watched the teleportation array disappear, remaining silent for a moment before sighing. She decided to let her younger brother go, knowing that she couldn't catch up to him and, more importantly, not wanting to provoke the forces backing Feng Ming at this time.

Turning back, Feng Yi looked at the Black Phoenix-armored soldiers surrounding her. She smiled slightly before ordering them to handle the situation. The sounds of victory echoed through the ceremonial square, but Feng Yi's mind was still filled with many thoughts.

"Soon, I must purge these malignant elements completely. Otherwise, the Immortal Phoenix Emperor Dynasty will face much internal danger," she thought to herself before turning to prepare for her plans to govern the dynasty.

In a forest, a teleportation array opened, and Feng Ming and his group emerged from it. Feng Ming collapsed, his heart filled with frustration as he shouted angrily,

"Why? Father, you should have chosen me! Why did you choose her?"

His voice was filled with confusion and disappointment.

The 36 Immortal Emperors and followers who had escaped with him remained silent. They came from two powerful forces—half from the Star Trade Tower, whose mistress had asked them to assist Feng Ming, and the other half from the Immortal Night Blossom Sacred Land, where Feng Ming's mother was the ruler.

Everyone in the group pondered silently about why the current emperor, who was hailed as the strongest emperor in the history of the Immortal Phoenix Emperor Dynasty, would willingly abdicate the throne to Feng Yi, despite still being in the prime of his reign.

As they were deep in thought, suddenly, all 36 emperors quickly moved to protect Feng Ming.

There was a "shh... shh... shh" sound in the dead silence.

Something was being cut, and suddenly, the trees around them were sliced cleanly. Those with cultivation below the Immortal Emperor level had blood streaming from their necks, arms, legs, and bodies, which began to separate into numerous parts, their flesh scattering across the ground, staining it red instantly.

One of the 36 spoke up with a firm voice, "Who are you?" But as soon as he finished speaking, his arm was severed in an instant. The man was slightly startled but remained calm, quickly reattaching his arm. However, there was no response from the others.

Another man in the group, dissatisfied, spoke up, "Two low-level Immortal Emperors dare to cause trouble here?" As soon as those words were spoken, the sound of battle erupted as both sides launched surprise attacks and immediately clashed fiercely. The unleashed power turned the lush forest into a battlefield filled with the debris of destruction.

The battle between the Immortal Emperors and the two powerful men in black was intense. The unleashed power shattered trees and plants, sending stones and dirt flying into the air. The once-peaceful forest became a terrifying battlefield.

Feng Ming watched the battle, unable to do anything but observe with fear and anger. His heart was filled with conflicting emotions, and he suspected that Feng Yi had sent these two men in black to hunt him down.

Meanwhile, the battle raged on, the sound of clashes resonating loudly. The unleashed power severely injured everyone with cultivation below the Immortal Emperor level in the vicinity.

As the high-level Immortal Emperors and their followers faced off against the two men in black with immense power, one of the high-level Immortal Emperors tried to comprehend what was happening. He spoke with confusion and concern:

"Who are they? Why can't we land a hit on them? Every time we attack, it goes right through their bodies. And that invisible power... what is it? Why can't we sense it at all?"

Another Immortal Emperor quickly analyzed the situation, speaking with a voice full of tension:

"It must be the Law of Void or perhaps the Void Body, something like that. And those invisible attacks are probably extremely fine, strong threads of spiritual energy."

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere among the Immortal Emperors grew even more tense, as they realized that both the Law of Void and the Void Body were extremely rare and difficult to deal with.

Suddenly, one of the men in black launched a massive flaming punch forward, while the other exhaled, creating a fierce firestorm. Another Immortal Emperor in the enemy group spoke in shock:

"The Law of Fire and the Law of Wind! Who are these people?"

For a quasi-Immortal Emperor to ascend to the rank of Immortal Emperor, they must master the laws of the world, which allow them to control and utilize power in various ways. For example, the Law of Fire enhances attack power and flame control. There are also other laws, such as the Law of Water, the Law of Wood, the Law of Void, the Law of Chaos, the Law of Darkness, and many others. A quasi-Immortal Emperor must master at least one law to ascend to Immortal Emperor. The more laws they master, the greater their understanding and strength.

Realizing the threat they faced, the Immortal Emperors nodded to each other, gathering all their power to launch another attack on the two men in black. Their immense power surged toward the two men with unstoppable force. But suddenly, the void opened and swallowed the attack instantly.

The 36 Immortal Emperors were shocked. One of the high-level Immortal Emperors shouted, "Dodge quickly!" But his warning came too late. The void reappeared before them, and the attack they had just launched came back at them with the same intensity.

Everyone tried to evade, but the powerful impact severely injured many of the Immortal Emperors. The situation grew increasingly dire, and no one had expected the tide of battle to turn like this.

The tension in the air escalated rapidly as the firestorm created by the combined power of the two men in black bore down on Feng Ming's group without any sign of stopping. The five high-level Immortal Emperors who were protecting Feng Ming tried to use their power to create a protective barrier, but they sensed something wrong within their bodies.

"This is bad! We've fallen into their trap!" one of the Immortal Emperors said with a grave tone.

Another added, "Yes, I can feel it now. My power isn't functioning at full capacity. It seems they've set up some sort of formation here!"

As they struggled to defend against the impending attack, one of them turned to Feng Ming and urgently said, "Young Master! Please use the spirit of the Sacred Land!"

Feng Ming, initially shocked, regained his composure and nodded immediately. A powerful aura surged from his body, its sound echoing through the forest like the awakening of something ancient and mighty, ready to rise again.

Suddenly, the figure of a woman, as beautiful as a goddess, appeared in the air. She had long golden hair that flowed gracefully in the wind, a face full of elegance and power, and eyes that gleamed with immense authority. As she appeared, the entire environment seemed to freeze for a moment, and the two men in black immediately dropped to their knees.

The woman spoke in a voice filled with rage:

"Lowly Immortal Emperors dare to bully my son?"
