The atmosphere within the Celestial Emperor Palace had completely exploded at this moment.
Many cultivators could not believe what they were seeing now.
"What's going on, Xiao Lixing's soul has been extracted?!"
"Xiao Lixing's soul was extracted so quickly, which is clearly a sign of life ending, it's impossible for her to awaken the Double Pupils now!"
"At this time, shouldn't Xiao Lixing have awakened the Double Pupils? Being directly extracted like this, how can she awaken?"
"Could it be that one can still awaken the power of Double Pupils after having their soul extracted?"
"How is that possible when someone's soul is extracted, it means complete death! The Xiao Lixing on the screen surely cannot awaken the power of Double Pupils now!"
"What's going on, what on earth is happening??"
The many cultivators in the Celestial Emperor Palace simply couldn't believe what they were seeing now.
They originally thought that as Wang Teng said, Xiao Lixing was absorbed into the air by this cultivator at the Peak of Unity Stage.
It should have been at the last moment that she awakened the power of Double Pupils, plus the Young Celestial Emperor arrived in time.
The two of them directly gave that White Eyebrow Cultivator a harsh lesson, possibly even causing the demise of the White Eyebrow Cultivator.
Then Xiao Lixing would begin to embark on the path of becoming an Empress step by step.
Who would have thought that now, Xiao Lixing would have her soul directly extracted.
It's known that after the soul is extracted, there's absolutely no chance of survival!
Many at this moment felt like they'd seen a ghost.
Simultaneously, many subconsciously turned their gaze towards Wang Teng, whose expression had long frozen.
In fact, now, not to mention other cultivators, even he couldn't understand what had happened.
Could Xiao Lixing still survive after having her soul extracted?
Absolutely impossible!
They were all cultivators at the Quasi-Emperor and even Great Emperor levels present.
They had never heard of anyone surviving the extraction of a soul without being stored in some treasure, used to foster a Nascent Soul. It's simply absurd!
However, the Lixing Empress was evidently well, which didn't make any sense!
Wang Teng could only say as much as he could understand.
"It should be that after the White Eyebrow Cultivator extracted Xiao Lixing's soul, he temporarily stored it in a collectible treasure without fully devouring it.
Then the Young Celestial Emperor defeated the White Eyebrow Cultivator, released Xiao Lixing's soul, and saved her..."
Wang Teng could only think of this possibility, even if it seemed very unlikely to him.
After all, with the current strength of the Celestial Emperor, wanting to kill the White Eyebrow Cultivator was far-fetched.
He couldn't conceive of any chance of the Celestial Emperor winning.
Luo Lixing, seeing this scene in the Reincarnation Mirror, was stunned.
She vaguely remembered experiencing a great catastrophe, then waking up feeling reborn.
But she never imagined that she had already had her soul extracted and died at that time.
So why was she standing there now, still possessing Great Emperor level cultivation?!
Yet just after Wang Teng's words fell.
The White Eyebrow Cultivator had no such spirit-storing treasures, directly devouring these virginal souls thoroughly.
Everyone present with Quasi-Emperor levels or above naturally saw that after devouring these virginal souls.
The Nascent Soul of the White Eyebrow Daoist visibly grew.
Even his aura grew significantly!
However, this also meant that Xiao Lixing's soul had been completely consumed by the White Eyebrow Cultivator.
There was no possibility of it being stored in a collectible treasure.
This made the entire Celestial Emperor Palace explode even further!
"Xiao Lixing's soul was not only taken by the White Eyebrow Cultivator but also devoured on the spot?!"
"Devouring on the spot without any treasure, there's simply no chance of resurrection!"
"Why is this happening? Did Xiao Lixing already die at this time?"
"But if Xiao Lixing died at this time, how can the Lixing Empress be standing here now, becoming an Empress, attacking the Celestial Emperor with us?"
"All this is beyond my understanding, can someone tell me what is happening!"
Many Quasi-Emperor level and above were completely baffled by this development.
Now, many people instinctively looked at the Lixing Empress herself, noticing that Luo Lixing was also thoroughly stunned.
Even she couldn't have anticipated this situation.
Many eyes turned to Wang Teng, who was also lost in confusion.
After a while, Wang Teng suddenly had an epiphany.
"My friends, I understand now. Perhaps this little girl accompanying the Celestial Emperor is not the real Lixing Empress.
Though she shares the same name, she isn't the true Lixing Empress.
Imagine, the Celestial Emperor originally reserved his sister's name for the unborn child of his late mother, who died prematurely.
After saving this little girl from a couple, he gave her the name of the future Lixing Empress."
Wang Teng felt he understood everything.
"It's likely that this little girl perished utterly, and the Celestial Emperor later adopted another sister, naming her after the current Lixing Empress."
With Wang Teng's explanation, many cultivators in the Celestial Emperor Palace slowly nodded in agreement.
This seemed the best, even the only explanation.
After all, the Xiao Lixing on the screen had clearly died utterly, with no chance of resurrection.
Even with all their knowledge, they couldn't see any hope for Xiao Lixing's survival.
Now, it seemed likely that the Celestial Emperor would later recognize another sister, bestowing upon her the name Lixing.
Like the current Xiao Lixing, named after a likely deceased sister of the Celestial Emperor.
Since it had happened before, a new Luo Lixing might appear again.
Yet watching the scene, Luo Lixing instinctively felt everything wasn't this simple...
At this moment, in the scene displayed by the Reincarnation Mirror,
almost everyone in the Celestial Emperor Palace heard a heart-wrenching scream.
"Sister!!!"
