《Ancient Supreme Demon System: The Strongest Existence》
1. The Ancient Supreme Demon System, Crushed in the Cradle!
The Three Thousand Great Worlds.
Wu Ji Demon Domain, Wu Ji Demon Palace!
"Heh... it''s been two years already. It''s truly nostalgic. I actually transmigrated as the son of a Demon Emperor?"
Inside a grand imperial hall, at the top of a staircase paved with supreme-grade demon crystals, sat a handsome young man with an upright posture.
Dressed in a specially made purple brocade robe, he exuded an extraordinary aura, noble beyond words.
On both sides of the throne, over a dozen stunning maids stood, all possessing impressive cultivation.
At this moment, to his left, a beautiful maid in a red dress was feeding him a luscious grape, while on his right, a valiant maid in a green outfit was thoughtfully massaging his shoulders.
The young man in brocade was named Su Ming, the son of the Wu Ji Demon Emperor!
The red-clothed maid was named Hong Shu, and the green-clothed one was called Qing Niao, names Su Ming had casually given them on a whim.
"This life is certainly enjoyable, but when will that golden finger, the standard cheat for transmigrators, finally awaken?"
Resting his handsome face on one hand, Su Ming''s deep eyes held a trace of distraction as he muttered to himself.
For the past two years, he had been living a life of luxury and indulgence as the Demon Emperor''s son.
Relying on his father''s immense prestige as a demonic overlord, he could roam the Wu Ji Demon Domain with impunity.
However, once outside this domain, Su Ming could no longer act as he pleased.
After all, in the Three Thousand Great Worlds, his father was not the only Demon Emperor!
As time passed, Su Ming became increasingly aware of a harsh truth, no matter how powerful, that strength belonged to his father, the Wu Ji Demon Emperor, not to him.
What would happen in countless years when the Demon Emperor was no longer in this world?
Would those sects and ancient clans he had oppressed still obey him like loyal dogs?
Or would they¡ turn against their master?
At this thought, an intense sense of crisis surged in Su Ming''s heart.

More than ever, he craved power!
To grow strong!
To become an unparalleled force like his father, ruling over his own domain!
No, he had to grow even stronger! He had to sweep across the universe, achieve eternal life, and reign supreme for all eternity!
"Hong Shu, Qing Niao, you two can rest on your own tonight. No need to come to my Imperial Profound Palace. I want to cultivate alone¡"
As his voice fell, a determined light flashed in Su Ming¡¯s eyes.
"Understood, Your Highness!"
The two stunning maids bowed in response. Exchanging glances, a hint of surprise flickered in their beautiful eyes.
Wu Ji Demon Palace, One of the Deepest and Most Powerful Forces in the Three Thousand Great Worlds!
Throughout history, countless peerless prodigies had risen from Wu Ji Demon Palace.
Many had even stood upon the sun, moon, and stars, their power unfathomable.
Because of this, the palace had become a behemoth among the great celestial sects, ancient Daoist factions, and aristocratic clans spread across the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
And Su Ming''s current identity? The Demon Emperor¡¯s son.
He was different from ordinary people, he had two hearts.
One was his own, while the other was the True Demon¡¯s Heart.
It was said that when Su Ming was born, a vision of the True Demon appeared in the sky.
From that moment on, the entire Wu Ji Demon Domain knew that the Demon Emperor¡¯s son possessed two hearts.
However, at that time, several forbidden figures from outer star regions mistook it for the rebirth of the True Demon and intervened.
As a result, the inheritance of Su Ming¡¯s True Demon¡¯s Heart became damaged and fell into slumber.
Even so, as the son of a Demon Emperor, Su Ming''s martial talent was still exceptional.
At five years old, he broke through the Body Tempering Realm.
At eight, he reached Great Perfection of the Divine Sea Realm.
By fourteen, he had already become a Cave Profound Realm expert!
But even with such talent, Su Ming was far from satisfied.
The memories of this body¡¯s original owner often surged into his mind, leaving the transmigrated Su Ming utterly speechless.
This guy was simply a walking disaster!
The number of celestial sects, sacred lands, and ancient aristocratic families he had offended was beyond count.
He was hated by the world, infamous across the Three Thousand Great Worlds!
At twelve, he secretly dug up a Heaven and Earth Spirit Root cultivated by a sacred land.
At thirteen, he led a group to kill the young lord of a supreme celestial sect.
At fifteen, he kidnapped the empress of a divine dynasty, on her wedding day, no less!
At seventeen¡
The list went on and on, numbering at least a hundred if not more.
For the past two years, the transmigrated Su Ming had been racking his brains, dealing with the consequences.
At first, unaware of the situation, he traveled through the Three Thousand Great Worlds, only to survive at least ten assassination attempts.
Though the hidden experts under the Wu Ji Demon Emperor had resolved them all, the sheer danger was enough to make anyone¡¯s heart tremble.
Even worse, those divine dynasties, celestial sects, sacred lands, and ancient clans he had humiliated were also home to peerless geniuses.
It was easy to imagine what would happen countless years from now, when this era of Demon Emperors came to an end¡
The predicament Su Ming would face would be utterly nightmarish!
"This starting point is a little too exciting¡"
"Damn it! Even though my cultivation speed is fast, it¡¯s still not fast enough!"
Day after day, Su Ming had been calling out for his golden finger, but there was never any response.
Finally, at midnight the next day¡
Inside the secret chamber of his Imperial Profound Palace¡
[Ding! Detecting the host¡¯s 1001st summoning¡ The Ancient Supreme Demon System is now loading.]
2. World Tree Sapling! The Blessing of the Demon Ancestors Dao Rhyme!
At this moment, a crisp and pleasant mechanical voice rang in Su Ming¡¯s mind.
Su Ming was stunned for a moment, then immediately fell into ecstasy.
With an excited expression, he scanned the translucent system panel before him.
Only he could see this panel!
It had arrived!
The golden finger he had longed for had finally arrived!
Host: Su Ming
Identity: Son of the Demon Emperor of the
Infinite Demon Domain
Cultivation Level: Profound Cave Realm
Physique: Primal True Demon Heart (Dormant)
Cultivation Technique: Demon Emperor Sutra
Divine Abilities: Demonic Extreme Celestial Art, Holy Demon Fist.
Demonic Charm Points: 2000 (Note: Unlocks the system store at 3000 points)
[Ding! The Ancient Supreme Demon System has been successfully loaded! Your path to dominating the heavens is within reach! Keep going, Host!]
[Ding! The Host has received system quests. Please review carefully.]
"Quest 1: Hunt down and kill the Holy Sons of the various Holy Lands, Ancient Clans, and Noble Families across the Three Thousand Great Worlds. Reward: 280 years of cultivation."
"Quest 2: Select Holy Daughters from the Holy Lands, Ancient Clans, and Noble Families who possess Five-Colored Fortune to serve as maids. Reward: Three drops of Primordial Ancestral Dragon¡¯s Heart Blood."
"Quest 3: Capture ten ancient fierce beasts at the Nether Sea Realm or above to serve as mounts. Reward: Immortal Artifact - Nine Heavens Mysterious Goddess Painting."
"Quest 4..."
"Quest 5..."
"Quest 6..."
...
At least a dozen quests appeared on the system panel.
Su Ming glanced at the astonishing quests and couldn''t help but click his tongue.
Good heavens!
Worthy of being the Ancient Supreme Demon System!
But becoming the strongest demon of all time was no simple task.
The Holy Sons of major Holy Lands and Ancient Clans, or the Holy Daughters of Divine Dynasties and Noble Families, these individuals were absolute geniuses of their respective factions.
Even if the weaker Holy Lands and Ancient Clans were far inferior to the Infinite Demon Palace, Su Ming was not his father, the Demon Emperor of the Infinite Demon Domain.
Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.
He could not yet roam the Three Thousand Great Worlds as he pleased.
Moreover, capturing ten Nether Sea Realm ancient fierce beasts¡
The cultivation ranks in this world were divided as follows, from lowest to highest:
1. Body Refinement Realm
2. Qi Manipulation Realm
3. Divine Sea Realm
4. Ghostly Passage Realm
5. Profound Cave Realm
Above these were:
6. Myriad Laws Realm
7. Nether Sea Realm
8. Extinction Realm
9. Pathwalking Realm!
A Pathwalking Realm cultivator was already an overlord, a rare supreme figure.
And above the Pathwalking Realm was the Divine Dao Realm.
Beyond that, there was the legendary Great Emperor Realm, so rare as phoenix feathers, stepping across galaxies, ruling over all!
Su Ming¡¯s current cultivation was merely Profound Cave Realm, whereas the Nether Sea Realm was far above the Myriad Laws Realm!
Capturing a Nether Sea Realm ancient fierce beast was no easy feat!
If he recklessly ventured into dangerous regions to capture them, he would likely face certain death.
"Well, these system quests don¡¯t have time limits. I can take my time to strategize carefully."
"For the sake of the Infinite Demon Palace, and for my own future¡ I must become the Supreme Demon!"
"So what if I make enemies of the world¡¯s countless prodigies? One day¡ I shall crush all opposition!"
"The world¡¯s geniuses, the innumerable Holy Lands and Ancient Clans¡ Hmph. Using them as stepping stones to the peak of existence doesn¡¯t seem bad at all."
With this thought, a determined light flickered in Su Ming¡¯s eyes as he made up his mind.
At that moment, a sudden notification echoed in his mind.
[Ding! The Host has received a Beginner''s Gift Pack. Would you like to open it?]
Hmm? A Beginner¡¯s Gift Pack?
Su Ming raised an eyebrow, the corners of his lips curling slightly. His mood improved significantly.
"Confirm open."
[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have received:
- One bottle of Heaven-Piercing Primordial Pills
- One World Tree Sapling
- One blessing of the Demon Ancestor¡¯s Dao Rhyme]
Su Ming immediately checked the descriptions on the system panel.
Heaven-Piercing Primordial Pills: High-grade Immortal-tier pills.
The bottle contained nine pills, each filled with terrifying Primordial Energy.
Consuming a single pill could instantly help a Divine Sea Realm cultivator break through.
However, Su Ming, as the son of the Demon Emperor, had seen countless celestial herbs and immortal treasures since childhood.
Even in the face of these Immortal Pills, he remained calm.
He continued reading the descriptions.
LWorld Tree Sapling: At the birth of the universe, heaven and earth separated.
The Purple Qi of Primordial Chaos rose above, the Mystic Yellow Qi sank below, and in between were Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Lightning.
By a stroke of fate, these three forces nurtured a single sapling.
This World Tree Sapling could plunder fortune, refine Immortal Artifacts, and ultimately grow into the legendary World Tree!
World Tree: Every branch, every flower, every leaf, and every fruit contained the Primordial Dao.
Once fully grown, it could hold an entire Great Thousand World!
"Worthy of being an ancient divine object!"
Su Ming¡¯s expression showed a hint of astonishment.
Just from the system¡¯s description, he could sense how terrifying this divine item was!
A flower, a world, how vast and grand!
Of course, nurturing this World Tree Sapling would require extremely harsh conditions.
Finally, Su Ming¡¯s gaze landed on the last reward.
When he read the system¡¯s explanation, his face lit up with joy.
"Heh... This is exactly what I need right now!"
Blessing of the Demon Ancestor''s Dao Rhyme!
This would allow him to borrow the Dao Rhyme of the Ancient Demon Ancestor, reshaping his physical body!
It could eliminate defects and hidden injuries in his meridians, organs, and limbs, enhancing his martial talent!
Although Su Ming possessed the Primal True Demon Heart, interference from the forbidden figures of various star domains had caused it to fall into slumber.
As a result, he could not unleash its full power!
Even his father, the Demon Emperor, the strongest in the Infinite Demon Domain, had no solution.
Despite consuming countless celestial treasures since childhood, Su Ming had been unable to awaken the Primal True Demon Heart.
But now¡ with the Blessing of the Demon Ancestor¡¯s Dao Rhyme!
Perhaps it was finally possible!
"System, activate it now!"
3. The Awakening of the Primal True Demon Heart! Innate Dao Arts!
Su Ming made a decisive move, directly using the Dao Rhyme of the Demon Ancestor to enhance himself.
Buzz...!
A wave of ancient and boundless Demon Ancestor Dao Rhyme spread out.
In an instant, Su Ming felt his entire body being cleansed by this vast and infinite power.
Every single cell, every bone, every piece of flesh.
His meridians, limbs, and organs.
All of them seemed to be washed anew by this epic force of Dao Rhyme.
This mystical power flowed into his body like an immortal spring, repairing and awakening the slumbering Primal True Demon Heart!
A quarter of an hour later, the Dao Rhyme dissipated.
Su Ming''s eyes snapped open.
In that instant, it seemed as if endless stars were rotating within his gaze.
On the system panel, the words "In Slumber" above the Primal True Demon Heart vanished in an instant.
The Primal True Demon Heart...
Had awakened!
*!Boom!*
*!Boom!*
The skies trembled as clouds churned, and waves of cloud tides quivered. The roaring cries of qilins echoed through the heavens.
Two Demonic Qilins pulled a magnificent chariot, trailing streams of starlight in its wake.
Though these Demonic Qilins stepped upon demonic clouds, their presence alone caused thunderous echoes to ripple through the sky.
The sheer grandeur and imposing aura of the Demonic Qilin Chariot left countless people on the ground utterly shocked.
"Huh...? Who is that?!"
"Tsk, tsk... Two Demonic Qilins pulling a chariot? This person has an incredible presence!"
"Indeed! I wonder which Holy Son or Holy Daughter is traveling!"
"Look at the demonic cloud patterns on the Demonic Qilin Chariot, that''s from Infinite Demon Palace, the greatest power of the Infinite Demon Domain!"
A commotion erupted on the ground.
The moment the words Infinite Demon Palace were spoken, countless people gasped in shock.
The Infinite Demon Palace was not just the ruler of the Infinite Demon Domain....
Even among the Three Thousand Great Worlds, it was one of the most terrifying hegemonic forces!
For a chariot to be pulled by two Demonic Qilins meant that the person inside must be one of the top figures of the Infinite Demon Domain!
"Sigh... This is truly envy-inducing."
Seeing this scene, countless people swallowed hard.
They watched in awe as the Demonic Qilin Chariot soared across the sky.
Inside the chariot, on a grand and majestic throne.
The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.
Su Ming sat with a calm expression, exuding an ethereal and otherworldly aura.
He glanced at his system''s mission and status panel.
The words "In Slumber" had disappeared from the Primal True Demon Heart.
At that moment, he could clearly sense the transformation within himself.
His bones, flesh, meridians, and very cells had undergone an unimaginable metamorphosis!
Right now, Su Ming¡¯s lifeblood energy surged to extreme levels. He could even vaguely perceive!
A terrifyingly mysterious power lurking within his flesh and blood, whether it was the power of laws, or a blessing from skies and demons alike.
This power had taken root within him, silently growing.
A person who possesses the Primal True Demon Heart would naturally be blessed by fate, making theirpath of martial cultivation smooth and effortless!
But most importantly, the Primal True Demon Heart contained Innate Dao Arts!
And Su Ming had a chance to comprehend them!
Each Innate Dao Art was an ability of unimaginable power.
If fully unleashed, a single technique could shatter stars, boil seas, and dim the sun and moon, plunging heaven and earth into chaos!
Before, even though Su Ming had possessed the Primal True Demon Heart, it had remained dormant.
He had been unable to fully activate its power, let alone comprehend Innate Dao Arts.
But now, things were completely different!
"Heh... I wonder when I will be able to comprehend an Innate Dao Art."
To Su Ming, he was racing against time, he had to grow stronger, and fast!
The stronger he became, the safer he would be. Only then could he stand above all, living a life of absolute dominance and freedom!
"Your Highness, in 200 miles, we will arrive at Cangyun Dao Sect."
At that moment, a stunning red-clothed maid, Hongshu, respectfully reported.
"Hmm, what¡¯s the situation?"
Su Ming nodded slightly and asked indifferently.
"It is said that the Ancestor of Cangyun Dao Sect failed his breakthrough attempt and has already perished...."
"As a result, the sect no longer has a Mighty Being at the Path-Seeking Realm to oversee it."
"Thus, Guicang Holy Land and Silver Moon Holy Land have joined forces to invade and annex Cangyun Dao Sect. Today marks the fourth day of their siege."
"The reports indicate that Cangyun Dao Sect is about to collapse!"
Hongshu softly relayed the information, then gently placed a plump, juicy grape into Su Ming¡¯s mouth.
This was Su Ming¡¯s destination for this journey.
The conflicts and conquests between major Daoist sects, Holy Lands, and Divine Sects were always reported to Infinite Demon Palace beforehand.
Only with the approval of the Infinite Demon Emperor could such actions be carried out.
Su Ming had come as an overseer on behalf of the Infinite Demon Palace, intending to observe the battle.
He would simply wait for Guicang Holy Land and Silver Moon Holy Land to destroy Cangyun Dao Sect before collecting the tribute.
At that moment, a crisp system notification rang in Su Ming¡¯s mind.
"Detected an individual linked to the host¡¯s fate: Ye Chen."
Ye Chen?
That name sounded familiar.
Before Su Ming had taken over this body, the original "Demon Emperor¡¯s Son" Su Ming had crippled Ye Chen¡¯s father.
Thinking about it, their grudge ran deep....
And now, Ye Chen was actually cultivating in Cangyun Dao Sect?
Su Ming was slightly surprised.
"Well, it doesn¡¯t matter. I am the strongest demon of eternity, none in my generation shall stand above me!"
With that thought, a sinister smirk curled on his lips.
"Let¡¯s go in."
The maid did not dare hesitate and immediately responded.
With a thunderous roar, the Demonic Qilin Chariot surged forward.
Heading straight for Cangyun Dao Sect.
¡ª
The sky was filled with divine radiance, surging like a stampede of ten thousand horses, an overwhelming and majestic spectacle.
*Clang*
A terrifying divine blade of light tore through the void.
And struck fiercely against the Cangyun Dao Sect¡¯s protective mountain formation.
Floating in midair, Silver Moon Holy Son stood proudly.
Behind him, a rotating silver moon shone brilliantly, exuding divine majesty.
"At most one or two more days, and we will shatter their protective formation. When that happens, Cangyun Dao Sect will be ours!"
His eyes gleamed with fervor.
A super Dao Sect¡¯s resources, even after handing a portion to Infinite Demon Palace, would still be enough to make them incredibly rich.
"Tsk, tsk... And that Cangyun Saintess is an absolute beauty!"
Thinking of her, his heart pounded with excitement.
*Roar*
At that moment, a qilin¡¯s roar rang out behind him.
The clouds were torn apart, revealing a Demonic Qilin Chariot speeding toward them!
"Hiss... Isn¡¯t that Infinite Demon Palace¡¯s people? Why are they coming here?"
Silver Moon Holy Son¡¯s expression changed drastically.
Normally, the Infinite Demon Palace only observed from a distance.
Why were they personally coming now?
Hurriedly, he flew forward to greet them.
From afar, he spotted the Demon Emperor¡¯s Son sitting in the chariot.
Su Ming, dressed in luxurious robes, exuded an unmatched imperial aura.
Just his presence alone was peerlessly noble and royal.
"Greetings, Demon Emperor¡¯s Son."
Standing before the chariot, Silver Moon Holy Son bowed respectfully.
"Lead the way. I want to enter Cangyun Dao Sect."
Su Ming spoke indifferently, not sparing him a second glance.
"This..."
4. The Might of the Demon Emperor鈥檚 Son! Qin Yingluo!
A flash of dim light appeared between his brows, and an epic wave of the Primal True Demon¡¯s power surged outward!
The Silver Moon Holy Son¡¯s body trembled violently!
In an instant, he felt as if the sky before him had been torn apart, and the blazing sun had turned into a blood moon.
An incredibly terrifying force crashed down upon him, vast and overwhelming, like the descent of an ancient Demon Ancestor.
At this moment, divine radiance and demonic energy intertwined around Su Ming, exuding an aura of absolute dominance.
The Silver Moon Holy Son felt as though he had been swallowed by a terrifying abyss, his very flesh and bones on the verge of disintegration!
His heart quaked, his face turned deathly pale.
Right now, only one thought filled his mind..
Su Ming was invincible. He must not be opposed!
*Crack¡ crack¡ crack!*
At this moment, three cracks faintly appeared on his Dao Heart, on the verge of shattering!
Just as his Dao Heart was about to collapse...
*Whoosh!*
An elderly man in a Daoist robe swiftly rushed over, positioning himself in front of the Silver Moon Holy Son.
It was one of the senior elders of the Silver Moon Holy Land.
"Greetings, Great Demon Emperor¡¯s Son. Let us make a way for you immediately." The elder acted hurriedly.
The elder quickly gave the order.
The people surrounding the Silver Moon Holy Land promptly parted, clearing a path.
Only then did Su Ming¡¯s expression soften slightly.
The demon qilin chariot rumbled forward, and as the qilins strode forth, the group proceeded smoothly into Cangyun Dao Sect.
"Elder, I¡ª"
At this moment, the Silver Moon Holy Son finally caught his breath, his face filled with shame and anger. "Are we just going to let him walk in like this?"
"What else can we do? Do you think you can stop the Demon Emperor¡¯s Son, do you think we are even worthy to stand in front of them?!"
The elder shot him a glare, his meaning clear.
"He only relies on his supposedly slumbering Primal True Demon¡¯s Heart. I was just caught off guard; otherwise¡ª"
"If we fought head-on, my Silver Moon Dao Body would be no weaker than his!"
The Silver Moon Holy Son¡¯s face turned red as he spoke indignantly.
"Shut up!"
Hearing this, the elder was instantly enraged.
"Do you even realize what you''re saying?"
"Opposing the Infinite Demon Palace... Have you thought about how horrifyingly you¡¯ll die?"
"More importantly¡ do you want to drag the entire Silver Moon Holy Land to death with you?"
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
At these words, the Silver Moon Holy Son was left speechless.
He might not fear Su Ming personally, but at the mention of the Infinite Demon Palace and its ruler, he could no longer remain careless.
The elder gave him a cold glance before shifting his gaze to the receding demon qilin chariot.
Deep down, he felt a trace of dread¡
"This young man is terrifyingly strong!"
"Just the divine light between his brows, without any treasure''s amplification, nearly shattered the Holy Son¡¯s Dao Heart!"
"This level of power is monstrous!"
"Could it be that his Primal True Demon¡¯s Heart has already awakened?"
Realizing this, the elder¡¯s expression drastically changed.
Regardless of the outcome, it seemed that the Infinite Demon Palace had given birth to yet another unparalleled genius.
---
Upon the demon qilin chariot, Su Ming was quite satisfied with the events that had just transpired.
"The power of the Primal True Demon¡¯s Heart is indeed extraordinary."
Earlier, he had activated the heart¡¯s power through the light between his brows, just to test its might.
And when he unleashed it, its energy was overwhelming, utterly unstoppable!
He had effortlessly crushed a Holy Land¡¯s Holy Son.
Though¡ this Silver Moon Holy Son was not among the most outstanding geniuses.
[Ding! Host displayed dominance and arrogance, exuding an overwhelming presence. Reward: 500 Demon Lord Charm Points.]
"¡"
Hearing the system¡¯s notification in his mind, Su Ming was momentarily speechless.
Oh well.
Since he had already embarked on the path of becoming the strongest demon lord in history, gaining Demon Lord Charm Points could only be a good thing.
---
*Buzz¡!*
Moments later, as a humming sound echoed through the air, Cangyun Dao Sect¡¯s protective array fully opened.
Layers of mist slowly dispersed, revealing the grand appearance of the sect.
Amidst the clouds and radiance, the Cangyun Dao Sect stood, majestic and imposing.
Su Ming¡¯s demon qilin chariot faced no obstruction as it smoothly entered the sect.
Within the Cangyun Mountain Range, multicolored light radiated in all directions.
Atop a towering peak, Su Ming¡¯s demon qilin chariot gradually came to a halt.
As he stepped out, countless disciples and elders of the Dao Sect stood densely packed upon the mountain peak.
Yet, all of them lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the revered Demon Emperor¡¯s Son.
"Greetings, Demon Emperor¡¯s Son."
From the crowd, an elderly man with the demeanor of an immortal stepped forward.
His aura was somewhat restrained, yet he still gave off the impression of unfathomable power.
With every movement, he caused ripples to form in the surrounding space.
This man was the current Dao Lord of Cangyun Dao Sect, Qin Canghai.
A powerful figure at the Extinction Realm!
And yet, even such a formidable existence, a Dao Lord of a major sect, bowed in greeting when facing Su Ming.
Su Ming remained composed, nodding slightly with an air of nobility.
Then, as if sensing something, his gaze flickered towards a certain figure behind the Dao Lord.
"Hmm¡?"
Su Ming¡¯s expression showed a hint of intrigue.
Standing there was an exquisite beauty clad in a flowing white dress.
Her features were stunning, her temperament cold as frost.
Her white robes swayed lightly, exuding an ethereal grace, like a lone plum blossom standing proudly amidst the snow.
This woman was none other than the Cangyun Saintess, Qin Yingluo.
She was an unrivaled beauty, often hailed as the number one Saintess across the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
Over the years, countless Holy Land Holy Sons had pursued her, and many stories had circulated about their failed attempts.
Sensing Su Ming¡¯s intense gaze, Qin Yingluo¡¯s delicate body trembled slightly.
She felt that his eyes were unrestrained, as if they could devour her whole.
At that thought, she hastily lowered her gaze, afraid to meet Su Ming¡¯s deep and imposing eyes.
She feared that the Demon Emperor¡¯s Son might set his sights on her.
Clearly, she had misunderstood.
Su Ming¡¯s interest lay elsewhere.
Around her body, a faint five-colored aura of fortune was rising, ethereal yet undeniably present.
*Five-Colored Fortune!*
"I didn¡¯t expect to find a Five-Colored Fortune individual so soon."
Su Ming was surprised.
One of the tasks assigned by his [Ancient Supreme Demon System] was to subdue someone with Five-Colored Fortune.
A satisfied smile played on Su Ming¡¯s lips.
"Emperor¡¯s Son, please, come inside."
Qin Canghai promptly invited him in.
Moments later, the group entered the Holy Land¡¯s grand hall.
Naturally, Su Ming strode toward the highest seat and took the throne that only the Sect Lord was permitted to sit on.
Seeing this, the disciples and elders of Cangyun Dao Sect found it entirely natural, no one dared to voice any objection.
"We did not know of the Emperor¡¯s Son¡¯s arrival and failed to welcome you properly. Please forgive us!"
Qin Canghai remained respectful.
Even though the external forces of the Silver Moon and Guicang Holy Lands had come to seize their sect with the Infinite Demon Palace¡¯s approval.
Even if Cangyun Dao Sect survived this crisis somehow, they would never dare to hold any grievances against the Infinite Demon Palace.
Because if the Demon Emperor became angered,
Their entire sect, including every Holy Land and Dao Sect present, would be reduced to nothing but ashes!
After all, in the Three Thousand Great Worlds, the one with the biggest fist wielded the absolute authority!
5. No Loose Ends! Conquering the Saintess!
"By the way, in your Dao Sect, is there a young man named Ye Chen?"
Su Ming seemed quite interested as he asked.
This guy not only has the luck of a protagonist but also holds an unresolved grudge against me.
Such a hidden danger, if not eliminated, would leave me uneasy!
"Ye Chen?"
Qin Canghai was momentarily stunned. "Could the Demon Emperor''s son be referring to... my disciple, Ye Chen?"
"Tell me more about him."
Although Qin Canghai didn¡¯t understand why Su Ming suddenly took such an interest in a mere disciple, he still explained everything in detail.
"Ye Chen comes from a remote and small clan, but his talent is exceptional."
"He participated in the Hundred Sect Tournament and easily claimed first place, thus joining our Cangyun Dao Sect."
"At only eighteen, he can already defeat experts in the Ghostly Passage Realm, his strength is quite impressive."
"Our Cangyun Dao Sect possesses an ancient tower passed down since the Great Desolation era, which holds Daoist technique manuals."
"For three hundred years, no one has been able to comprehend them, yet he managed to decipher them..."
"When he grasped the Dao technique, the mountains trembled, the heavens displayed auspicious omens, and the scene was dazzling beyond words..."
As Qin Canghai narrated in detail, Su Ming couldn''t help but sigh inwardly.
So, he really is blessed by fate!
This third rate protagonist''s aura is simply looking quite dazzling.
Such fortuitous encounters and comprehension ability, given time, he will undoubtedly become a force to be reckoned with.
However, since their enmity was already set in stone, Su Ming had no intention of giving him that chance.
"Where is he now?"
"He''s not in the sect," Qin Canghai answered truthfully.
"Hmm?"
Su Ming frowned.
"Ye Chen is extraordinarily lucky. It seems he discovered something in the mountains and left to explore ancient ruins."
"But he is aware of the sect¡¯s situation, so he should return within the next few days."
Qin Canghai''s expression tightened, afraid that the Demon Emperor''s son would be displeased, so he quickly explained.
So that¡¯s how it is.
Su Ming raised an eyebrow. Out seeking fortune, huh?
"A textbook storyline."
"Every protagonist with great destiny never shows up until the moment of life and death."
"It seems he''ll probably return in two days."
"By then, the sect¡¯s protective formation will be broken, the Dao Sect will be on the verge of collapse, and Ye Chen will make a dazzling entrance, turning the tide and winning people''s hearts and fame."
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
Su Ming sneered.
He understood these clich¨¦d plot developments all too well.
But the more predictable they were, the more room Su Ming had to maneuver.
After understanding Ye Chen¡¯s situation, Su Ming didn¡¯t ask further.
Instead, he directly ordered the Cangyun Dao Sect to prepare a palace and moved in.
Once Su Ming left, the remaining higher-ups exploded into discussion.
"Holy Lord, why didn¡¯t you ask the Demon Emperor¡¯s son for help?!" A certain elder was extremely anxious.
"The Silver Moon Dao Sect and the Guicang Dao Sect may not have attacked again today, but their forces are still camped outside."
[A/N: The lands these sects rule on is called their holy lands and their sect is called Dao Sect. Hope that clears any confusion!]
"Our defenses will eventually be breached!"
They were all as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
After all, this was a matter of life and death for both the sect and themselves, how could they not be worried?
The Cangyun Dao Sect was already teetering on the edge of destruction.
Without a Pathwalking Realm expert to guard them, they were like fish on a chopping block, ready to be devoured at any moment.
They had fought continuously for three days, everyone was wounded and near their limit.
"It¡¯s easy to say, but this matter requires the approval of the Supreme Demon Emperor. How can we persuade the Demon Emperor¡¯s son?"
Qin Canghai shook his head and sighed.
The hall fell into silence.
At this moment, someone whispered, "The Demon Emperor¡¯s son... seems to be interested in the Saintess."
Qin Yingluo, who had been standing coldly to the side, had a slight change in expression.
"Enough, don¡¯t mention it. This is not something we can control."
Qin Canghai glanced at his daughter, then spoke to the crowd.
"The arrival of the Demon Emperor¡¯s son has at least bought us some precious time."
"Everyone, rest well, heal your wounds, and prepare for the final battle."
Hearing this, the elders said no more and dispersed.
Inside the grand hall, only Qin Yingluo remained, her expression complicated, standing in silent contemplation for a long time.
Inside the imperial palace, this palace stood atop a mountain peak within the Dao Sect. It originally belonged to the Sect Master.
But due to Su Ming¡¯s arrival, the Sect Master hurriedly vacated it, leaving it for Su Ming¡¯s use.
Through the carved windows, one could see the clouds swirling outside and mountains like a painting.
A true celestial paradise lay before his eyes.
Seated at the study desk, Su Ming gazed at the system interface before him.
His series of actions at the Cangyun Dao Sect had earned him a total of 1,000 points of "Demon Lord Charm."
At the same time, a new section appeared on the system interface:
Ye Chen: Child of Destiny
Secret Treasures: Extreme Ice Divine Talisman, "Primordial Ancestral Dragon Fist"...
Luck Value: 1000
When the Luck Value drops below 100, he will lose the "Child of Destiny" attribute bonus.
Current Kill Reward: None.
"Looks like I got caught up in Ye Chen¡¯s storyline, which is why I have such detailed system information."
"System, what does ''Current Kill Reward'' mean?"
[It means that killing the Child of Destiny grants additional rewards. However, if the Child of Destiny¡¯s luck is too high, killing them will yield no rewards. Every time their luck is reduced, the probability of receiving a reward increases. Once the Child of Destiny loses their title, killing them will grant all their fortuitous encounters.]
So there¡¯s such a mechanic?
Isn¡¯t this basically a protagonist¡¯s exclusive loot system?
Seems like if I want the biggest rewards, I can¡¯t just kill him outright...
"Interesting. After all, he is a so called Child of Destiny, his fortune runs deep. Killing him outright wouldn¡¯t be easy."
"Moreover, with so many treasures on him, due to luck¡¯s influence, if I kill him recklessly, I might not get anything at all."
"If I want to claim everything he possesses, I have to slowly strip away his luck first."
"Isn¡¯t this like raising a treasure chest monster?"
"Using the protagonist as a walking loot box, extracting rewards bit by bit."
"But I can¡¯t just focus on farming, some Children of Destiny should be eliminated as soon as possible."
Su Ming had no intention of leaving himself with a hidden danger.
Just as he was deep in thought, a voice came from outside the hall.
"Your Highness, the Saintess of Cangyun seeks an audience."
Su Ming was not surprised by this report. After a brief moment of thought, he said,
"Let her in."
With a soft creak, the hall doors opened.
Qin Yingluo entered the hall.
She was still dressed in a simple white robe, her aura cold and ethereal, her steps light, like a celestial maiden walking out of a painting.
A faint fragrance of orchids and musk followed her, and she seemed to have applied a touch of makeup, making her even more enchanting than during the day.
Every step she took seemed to brighten the room.
Compared to Hong Shu and Qing Niao, she was in no way inferior.
Su Ming¡¯s gaze remained sharp.
This Qin Yingluo was most likely... the female lead in Ye Chen¡¯s storyline, wasn¡¯t she?
With her beauty and presence, if she wasn¡¯t a female lead, it would be a waste of such a divine figure.
However, the more significant the female lead.... The more satisfying it would be for the Supreme Demon Emperor¡¯s son, Su Ming, to conquer her!
6. Su Ming鈥檚 Indifference! The Saintess Offering Herself?
"Qin Yingluo greets the Demon Emperor¡¯s Son."
At this moment, Qin Yingluo respectfully bowed.
"What is it?"
Su Ming responded indifferently.
Qin Yingluo''s expression stiffened slightly.
This cold and detached attitude was completely different from what she had expected.
She had thought that when Su Ming saw her, his gaze would burn with passion, his emotions surging.
Then, she would simply need to fan the flames a little, provoking this young and proud demon emperor¡¯s son.
With their arrogant and unrestrained nature, securing the survival of Dao Sect should not have been difficult.
However¡ things had already gone off track from the very beginning.
Looking at Su Ming now, it seemed as if he did not even see her?
"I humbly request the emperor¡¯s son to take action and save our Cangyun Dao Sect."
Qin Yingluo gritted her teeth and spoke directly.
"Save you?"
Su Ming chuckled lightly.
"Yes, precisely¡"
Qin Yingluo was about to continue explaining.
But Su Ming coldly interrupted her with just two words: "Any Reason?"
His gaze was piercing, his expression severe, his posture arrogant, he had not even placed Qin Yingluo in his eyes.
Qin Yingluo suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, momentarily stunned.
Su Ming had already planned how to deal with her.
The so-called Cangyun Saintess was a textbook ice-cold beauty.
She was indifferent to all men, her nature proud and aloof.
If it weren¡¯t a matter of life and death for Cangyun Dao Sect, even if he were the Demon Emperor¡¯s son, she might not have come to him personally.
But since she was here¡
A saintess? What kind of act was she trying to put on in front of him?
The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
In these vast Three Thousand Worlds, there was no one who could match Su Ming in arrogance.
If you are cold, then I will be even colder.
If you want me to act, then submit obediently!
"Our Cangyun Dao Sect is willing to offer countless spiritual treasures and materials for your use."
Qin Yingluo paused for a moment before speaking.
"Treasures?"
Su Ming smiled faintly. "Does your Cangyun Dao Sect have ten-thousand-year-old celestial materials?"
"¡No."
"Extreme Dao Emperor Weapons?"
"No¡"
"Ancient Dao Techniques?"
"N-no¡"
With each question Su Ming asked, Qin Yingluo¡¯s heart sank further.
"These are some low grade treasures in my palace and you don''t even have them!"
His meaning was clear.
The Cangyun Dao Sect had nothing that could pique his interest.
Su Ming was the Demon Emperor¡¯s son.
The history of the Infinite Demon Palace spanned millions of years.
It had produced countless great emperors, possessing unfathomable resources¡ªwhat rare celestial material had he not seen before?
Even if Cangyun Dao Sect offered everything it had, it would not be worth his glance.
"If you have nothing, then I will ask you again¡"
"What reason do you have?"
The same sentence, but this time, Su Ming¡¯s tone was cold and severe.
A domineering pressure from an absolute superior descended upon Qin Yingluo.
Her body swayed, her face turned pale, and she could barely stand.
"Our Cangyun Dao Sect is willing to serve you as our lord for generations to come."
Su Ming¡¯s lips curled into a mocking smile. "You think your Cangyun Dao Sect is worthy of negotiating with me?"
"If I say nothing, your sect will be reduced to ashes within three days."
"Does it matter whether such an insignificant sect acknowledges me as its master?"
His words were ice-cold and merciless, leaving Qin Yingluo frozen on the spot.
Only now did she truly understand the insurmountable gap between them.
Su Ming was heaven¡¯s chosen one, the son of the Demon Emperor, with immense power and infinite authority over the great Three Thousand Worlds!
And she¡
Though she was a saintess, pursued by many, in Su Ming¡¯s eyes was an embodiment of nothingness and the Cangyun Dao Sect, the sect that had lasted for thousands of years, was nothing more than a speck of dust by the roadside, insignificant and unworthy of attention.
Without reaching the Great Emperor Realm, all were mere dust!
Their strengths and authorities were simply not on the same scale.
"I¡"
Qin Yingluo¡¯s delicate body trembled, unable to utter another word for a long time.
At this moment, she realized how laughable and ridiculous her previous plans had been.
The Su Ming before her was not someone she had the right to bargain with.
This¡ was the son of an emperor?
Unfathomable, unpredictable.
She was not even qualified to stand on equal footing in conversation.
Su Ming took in the helpless and dazed look in her eyes, his lips curving slightly.
"If you want me to save Cangyun Dao Sect, there is only one choice¡"
Qin Yingluo suddenly looked up, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes.
"You will submit unconditionally."
Su Ming¡¯s tone was calm, but his words were like a heavy hammer, shaking Qin Yingluo¡¯s heart.
At that moment, she felt as if the Su Ming before her had grown infinitely larger, towering like a giant on the peak of a mountain.
He no longer seemed like the Demon Emperor¡¯s son, he seemed like a true demon emperor himself.
The majesty of a demonic emperor was undeniable, inviolable, and unquestionable. It could only be obeyed.
Qin Yingluo¡¯s body trembled, but a trace of unwillingness and struggle still lingered in her heart.
Oh?
She truly was a heroine of destiny, with a remarkably strong will.
Su Ming was slightly surprised.
Just now, he had released a trace of power from his Primal True Demon Heart.
That pressure was overwhelming, yet she had not immediately succumbed?
"I-if Yingluo accompanies the emperor¡¯s son tonight¡ will you save Cangyun Dao Sect?"
Qin Yingluo bit her lip, her face pale, seemingly using all her strength as she trembled and spoke¡
7. The Heart Blood of the Primordial Ancestral Dragon! Subduing Qin Yingluo!
Hmm...?
Was she offering herself up willingly?
Su Ming was momentarily stunned.
This development was completely unexpected.
His gaze quickly scanned Qin Yingluo.
At this moment, she no longer carried the cold and untouchable aura she had before.
Instead, she now had a fragile, pitiful look that stirred a deep sense of conquest in one''s heart.
Her delicate features, eyes as clear as autumn waters, and graceful figure exuded an irresistible charm.
Even though she was wearing a long robe, it could not completely conceal her alluring curves.
However, Su Ming quickly snapped back to his senses.
He was not someone who acted on lust alone. He knew well what truly mattered.
"You think I care about your body?"
His eyes were sharp and full of clarity, carrying a trace of mockery.
"Qin Yingluo, are you too confident in your own charm?"
"If I truly wanted a woman, with just one word, do you know how many saintesses from sacred lands and noble daughters of ancient clans would travel across the Three Thousand Worlds just to throw themselves at me?"
"And yet, you think you alone are enough to make me act?"
Qin Yingluo''s body trembled slightly, unable to find a single word to refute him.
Let alone the fact that Su Ming was the esteemed son of the Demon Emperor....
Even based purely on his unparalleled talent as the wielder of the Primal True Demon Heart, if news of his wish spreads, the number of people willing to serve him would be beyond count.
And now¡ even her greatest pride, her beauty, was unable to move this man?
At that thought, Qin Yingluo''s eyes filled with despair.
In the past, she had always held herself in the highest regard, possessing absolute confidence.
She believed that as long as she was willing, she could make anyone in the world bow before her.
But tonight, facing Su Ming, she had been ruthlessly taught a lesson.
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
To the point where she even began to doubt herself.
Her face was filled with despair.
"I happen to need someone to serve tea, massage my shoulders, and kneel at my feet."
Su Ming tapped his fingers lightly, his expression calm.
A servant?
Qin Yingluo bit her lip, almost drawing blood.
She was the noble daughter of Cangyun, pursued by countless admirers across the Three Thousand Worlds.
And now, she was only worthy of being a mere servant?
All her confidence and pride crumbled in an instant.
Her slender figure wavered, as if a single gust of wind could knock her over.
Was this all she was worth?
The sound of tapping echoed again.
"I''ve had a long journey today. I¡¯d like to soak my feet and relax."
Su Ming knocked on the table, his tone indifferent.
Qin Yingluo wanted to storm out in anger.
But in her mind, images of her father, the elders, and her fellow disciples who were fighting desperately for their survival surfaced.
Her eyelids trembled. In the end, she closed her beautiful eyes in resignation.
"I... I''ll go get water..."
She stumbled as she walked toward the door.
A moment later, the sound of water splashing filled the room.
Su Ming remained seated on the grand jade chair, but now, a white-clad figure knelt before him.
Qin Yingluo sat on her knees, her delicate body trembling.
At this moment, she was gently washing Su Ming¡¯s feet with her slender hands.
If this scene were to spread, it would shock the world.
The noble daughter of Cangyun, a woman pursued by countless men, was actually kneeling and washing Su Ming¡¯s feet!
For Qin Yingluo, today¡¯s events were an immense humiliation.
Yet she had no power to resist, she could only endure it in silence.
And in that humiliation, a strange, inexplicable feeling began to rise within her.
Even she couldn''t tell whether it was hatred or something else entirely.
[Ding! Successfully subdued a Five-Colored Fate Female as a servant. Mission complete.]
[Reward: Three drops of Primordial Ancestral Dragon¡¯s Heart Blood.]
[Ding! Host displayed dominance and cold ruthlessness, with sharp and overpowering words. Reward: 500 points of Demon Lord Charm.]
Two consecutive notification sounds echoed in his ears.
Su Ming¡¯s eyes brightened.
Finally, the moment had come!
Everything he had said and done earlier was meant to completely crush Qin Yingluo¡¯s psychological defenses, to make her willingly accept the identity of a mere servant, fulfilling his mission.
And now, the results were perfect!
"Stand up."
Su Ming spoke casually.
Qin Yingluo¡¯s frail body swayed.
Her delicate, beautiful face carried a trace of confusion, making her look even more pitiful.
Su Ming ignored her, his gaze already fixed on the reward, three drops of Primordial Ancestral Dragon¡¯s Heart Blood.
This was truly a treasure!
The power of dragons was one of the most fearsome forces in the vast Great Desolate World.
Though many dragon beasts in this world held little status, with major sects, sacred lands, and ancient clans treating them as mere pets, the Primordial Ancestral Dragon was different!
It had existed since the dawn of chaos, the ancestor of all dragons.
Even a single drop of its heart blood contained unimaginable power!
"Go stand guard at the door."
Su Ming commanded.
Qin Yingluo was stunned.
He wasn¡¯t going to take her into his bed?
She had thought for sure that she wouldn¡¯t escape that fate tonight.
But now¡ did she really hold no appeal to him at all?
She had always been supremely confident in her appearance and figure.
But today, standing before Su Ming, she realized she had no advantage whatsoever.
Was this what it meant to be the son of a supreme emperor?!
She gave a bitter smile and slowly walked to the door, standing there in silence.
"It¡¯s time to absorb the Primordial Ancestral Dragon¡¯s Heart Blood."
Su Ming wasted no time.
He immediately sat cross-legged, focused his mind, and consumed the ancient divine treasure¡
8. Ancestral Dragon Sacred Body! Unstoppable! System Shop!
Buzz¡!
With a single thought, a drop of golden blood floated above his palm.
The moment this drop of Primordial Ancestral Dragon¡¯s Heart Blood appeared, it triggered an immense force.
Boom¡!
It was like mountains collapsing and the earth shattering, accompanied by the echoes of dragon roars carrying an ancient divine might.
"Devour!"
Su Ming opened his mouth and swallowed the Primordial Ancestral Dragon¡¯s Heart Blood.
In an instant, a terrifying force exploded in his throat.
Like a great flood bursting through a dam, an endless stream of formidable dragon power surged forth, flooding into his limbs and bones.
At the same time, a mysterious sensation arose in his mind.
It was as if he could see the birth of the Ancestral Dragon in the chaos of the universe, drawing power from the ancient past.
Endless supreme insights surged into his heart.
Su Ming understood, this was a sign that the dragon power was being fully refined.
The Primordial Ancestral Dragon¡¯s Heart Blood not only contained immense strength but also carried the experiences and understandings of countless ancient powerhouses.
Even the slightest comprehension would bring him great benefits.
Without hesitation, he swallowed the remaining two drops of heart blood.
The power of all three drops erupted simultaneously, and as Su Ming refined them, they fused into his body.
The Demon Emperor¡¯s Sutra he cultivated operated at full force, absorbing the dragon power contained within the blood.
....
....
....
Outside the Cangyun Dao Sect Palace.
Qin Canghai stood at the foot of the mountain with a group of elders.
The sect master, Qin Canghai, hesitated as he gazed at the palace.
Was it really worth taking this risk?
Though he understood the terror of an Emperor, he could not ignore the urging of countless elders and worshippers.
This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.
This matter concerned the life and death of their entire sect. It had to be handled with utmost caution.
After much persuasion, even Qin Canghai started wavering.
Perhaps¡ capturing Su Ming first would be the safest way to ensure they could escape the Three Thousand Worlds.
But then again, if they offended an Emperor, even if they fled the Three Thousand Worlds, where could they possibly run?
[A/N: I''m laughing while writing this??]
Qin Canghai was lost in thought.
At that moment, he suddenly felt the ground tremble beneath him.
Boom¡!
Above the palace, a thunderous explosion rang out.
A terrifying pressure swept across the sky like a storm, shaking the entire Cangyun Dao Sect.
Dark clouds gathered overhead, filled with a destructive aura that rumbled ceaselessly.
"What is this!"
Qin Canghai''s face was filled with shock as he quickly looked toward the sacred hall.
"Is the Demon Emperor¡¯s Son cultivating?"
"How can this power be so terrifying!"
Not only him, but the entire Cangyun Dao Sect was alarmed.
Countless disciples and elders rushed out, staring at the palace in horror.
Even though they were far away, they could still feel the terrifying energy radiating from within.
Was he really just a cultivator at the Profound Cave Realm?
The sect¡¯s palace master murmured to himself in disbelief, as all his doubts and hesitation instantly vanished....
Inside the Palace.
Su Ming remained immersed in cultivation. Only after two full hours did he slowly conclude his practice.
As his spiritual energy retracted, a power even more terrifying than before surged around him.
This force was so overwhelming that even standing close to him would make one''s limbs go weak with fear.
It was the purest form of the Ancestral Dragon¡¯s power.
"Very good."
Su Ming was pleased with the changes in his body.
"Although I have yet to reach the Myriad Laws Realm, I am not far from it now."
More importantly, a powerful dragon force had taken root within his body.
This dragon power had greatly strengthened his physique.
Moreover, the gift of dragon power seemed limitless.
Once he fully comprehended its mysteries, he would become truly unstoppable with just a single thought.
Su Ming activated his system panel.
Host: Su Ming
Identity: Demon Emperor¡¯s Son
Realm: Profound Cave Realm
Physique: Primal True Demon Heart, Ancestral Dragon Sacred Body (progress one-tenth)
Cultivation Method: Demon Emperor¡¯s Sutra
Divine Abilities: Extreme Demon Heavenly Art, Sacred Demon Fist, Primordial Demon Eye (beginner)
Demonic Charm Points: 3000
"Hmm¡ looks like I have gained a new physique and a new divine ability."
Su Ming raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Ancestral Dragon Sacred Body.
Just from the name alone, he could tell it was extraordinary.
[Ancestral Dragon Sacred Body: A sacred physique formed by the condensed power of the Ancestral Dragon.]
It grants the wielder dragon blood and a dragon soul.
Once fully awakened, the user can regenerate from a single drop of blood, achieving true immortality.
"Regenerating from a single drop of blood and becoming immortal¡ as expected of the power of the Ancestral Dragon!"
"However, it has not fully awakened yet. I need to hunt and devour more to complete it."
Su Ming was in no hurry.
Now that he had opened the door to dragon power, everything else would fall into place.
Apart from this, after subjugating Qin Yingluo, his Demonic Charm Points had officially surpassed 3000, unlocking the system shop.
Sweeping his gaze across the shop, he saw a dazzling array of items.
?Sacred Demon Sword Nine-Curve Yellow Spring ¨C 10,000 Demonic Charm Points

9. The Dao Sect Trembles! The Might of the Demon Emperor鈥檚 Son! A Plot Intercepted!
Inside the system shop, countless dazzling treasures were densely listed.
However, most of them were incredibly expensive.
¡°So many treasures!¡±
Su Ming couldn¡¯t help but sigh inwardly.
Among them were items so rare that even his father, the Infinite Demon Emperor, might not easily obtain them despite his cultivation.
¡°It seems I need to work even harder to accumulate Demonic Charm Points!¡±
Su Ming secretly made up his mind.
His thoughts drifted to the outside world, recalling Qin Yingluo.
Although this woman had already been taught a lesson by him,
And had reluctantly acknowledged her role as his ¡®servant,¡¯ it was still far from enough.
¡°Qin Yingluo¡ she¡¯s a key heroine tied to Ye Chen¡¯s destiny and storyline.¡±
¡°I can¡¯t just settle for keeping her by my side. I must make her completely submit.¡±
A new thought sprouted in Su Ming¡¯s mind.
¡
Meanwhile, as Su Ming refined the Primordial Ancestral Dragon¡¯s Heart Blood, heavenly phenomena erupted.
For a time, countless disciples of the Cangyun Dao Sect were utterly shaken.
But none were more shocked than Qin Yingluo.
She was the closest, standing right outside the door, and was directly enveloped in the strange phenomenon.
Qin Yingluo¡¯s mind was already a chaotic mess after Su Ming¡¯s continuous blows, and her spirit was on the verge of collapse.
But suddenly, the terrifying anomaly jolted her awake.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
The surging power of the dragon erupted, accompanied by an earth-shaking roar.
A pressure that struck directly at the soul descended upon her.
In that instant, Qin Yingluo felt as if she had been swept into the center of a storm.
Even though she was the Saintess of Cangyun, having cultivated to the Ghostly Passage Realm with formidable strength, before this power, she couldn¡¯t even muster a thought of resistance¡
¡°This¡ is this the Demon Emperor¡¯s Son¡?¡±
¡°Too terrifying.¡±
Qin Yingluo felt dizzy, her entire body breaking out in a cold sweat from fear.
Yet amidst her fear, a strange trace of admiration stirred within her.
Her mind involuntarily conjured up some peculiar images....
She was kneeling at Su Ming¡¯s feet, trembling.
Suddenly, Qin Yingluo¡¯s expression changed drastically.
An extreme coldness surged from within her body, spreading through her limbs in an instant.
Crack¡!
A thin layer of frost rapidly covered her snow-white skin.
¡°Not good.¡±
Panic flashed in Qin Yingluo¡¯s eyes.
Why did it have to happen now¡
Qin Yingluo¡¯s physical condition was extremely special. To the outside world, she was known as possessing the Ice Profound Dao Body.
But in reality, her physique was far stronger than an ordinary Dao Body.
However, this also brought an unexpected drawback.
The frost energy within her Dao Body was so overwhelming that her own cultivation could no longer suppress it.
Every so often, the Cold Soul would invade her body, harming her soul.
The freezing power was so intense that it would crystallize into frost on her skin.
Even her father had been unable to fully resolve this issue, only managing to suppress it temporarily.
Usually, as long as she calculated the timing,
And entered the Flame Cavern to cultivate in advance, she could barely endure the Cold Soul¡¯s invasion.
But with the recent chaos in the sect, coupled with Su Ming¡¯s mental blows, had she lost track of time in her emotional turmoil?
This was bad!
In an instant, the frost energy intensified dramatically.
Within the blink of an eye, her internal organs and meridians were completely frozen, leaving her unable to circulate her cultivation techniques.
Qin Yingluo was both anxious and powerless.
She felt her eyelids grow heavy, struggling to stay open.
If she lost consciousness, not even a Golden Glowing Immortal would be able to save her.
Crack!
At that moment, the door suddenly burst open.
In her hazy vision, Qin Yingluo vaguely saw a figure dressed in white stepping in.
His presence was ethereal, his aura vast, like an emperor descending upon the world.
Especially the epic brilliance radiating from his forehead.
In that instant, Qin Yingluo¡¯s very soul wavered.
¡°Interesting.¡±
Su Ming chuckled lightly, then casually flicked his finger.
Boom¡!
A single finger pierced through space!
In an instant, all the frost on Qin Yingluo¡¯s body shattered, freeing her from the bone-chilling cold.
A surge of incredible power flowed from Su Ming¡¯s fingertip, melting all the frost within her meridians.
In her dazed state, Qin Yingluo instinctively clung to Su Ming.
....
An hour later.
Qin Yingluo gradually regained consciousness.
Realizing that she was clinging to Su Ming with all four limbs in a highly improper position,
Her face turned crimson in an instant, and she hurriedly pulled away.
¡°E-Emperor¡¯s Son, I¡ this¡¡±
Qin Yingluo stammered, completely losing her usual aloof saintly demeanor.
¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡±
¡°I¡ my Ice Profound Dao Body has mutated¡¡±
She quickly explained her situation.
Su Ming pondered for a moment before a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.
So that¡¯s how it is¡ Did I accidentally trigger Ye Chen¡¯s storyline ahead of time?
For a protagonist like Ye Chen, forming a close bond with a powerful sect¡¯s saintess wouldn¡¯t be easy.
They would need a deeper connection, likely through some coincidental event¡
Could the key lie in Qin Yingluo¡¯s special physique¡
And then Ye Chen would be the one to solve her problem?
Suddenly, Su Ming recalled some information about Ye Chen.
Didn¡¯t he possess a treasure called the ¡°Extreme Ice Divine Talisman¡±?
It seemed that Ye Chen and Qin Yingluo¡¯s relationship was meant to deepen because of that artifact.
But unfortunately for Ye Chen¡ Su Ming had already beaten him to it.
The corners of Su Ming¡¯s lips curled into a playful smirk.
He had been thinking about how to completely claim Qin Yingluo¡¯s body and heart.
And now, hadn¡¯t the perfect opportunity just presented itself?
10. Harvesting Charm Points! Ye Chen鈥檚 Ominous Premonition!
¡°Heh¡ solving your physique issue? It¡¯s actually quite simple.¡±
Su Ming chuckled lightly.
¡°Really?¡±
Qin Yingluo¡¯s spirit lifted as she looked at Su Ming with hope.
Her physique had always been a source of trouble,
Making it nearly impossible for her to cultivate in peace, and her martial realm had stagnated for years.
Yet now, the Demon Emperor¡¯s Son was saying it was simple?
With a casual wave of his hand,
Buzz¡!
A blue light burst forth, and in the next moment, a jade slip slowly floated above Su Ming¡¯s palm.
¡°In the cultivation world, your sacred physique is quite impressive.¡±
¡°But the reason you can¡¯t control it is simple, your cultivation technique is too weak, unworthy of your physique, leading to backlash.¡±
¡°Coincidentally, I happen to have an ice-attribute technique of the Heavenly Rank.¡±
Su Ming spoke with ease.
Heavenly Rank?!
Hearing this, Qin Yingluo¡¯s heart trembled.
Such a top-tier technique¡ he was just casually handing it over?
Take her Cangyun Dao Sect, for example, even with its ancient heritage spanning ten thousand years, it only possessed a single Heavenly Rank technique.
But that technique didn¡¯t match her physique at all.
And now, Su Ming was effortlessly offering one that did?
Was this¡ the unfathomable power of the Demon Domain?
¡°I¡¡±
Qin Yingluo hesitated.
¡°What? Not interested?¡±
Su Ming raised an eyebrow.
This technique didn¡¯t actually come from the Infinite Demon Palace.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
Even if they had such a high-tier technique in their archives, it wouldn¡¯t necessarily suit Qin Yingluo¡¯s physique.
This was something Su Ming had just exchanged from the system shop.
A Heavenly Rank technique called Nine Yin Frost Body.
Though of the Heavenly Rank, there was a vast difference between techniques of the same tier.
This one had severe restrictions, as it was only compatible with the Ice Profound Dao Body, making its value relatively low.
Thus, Su Ming had only spent a thousand Demonic Charm Points on it.
Qin Yingluo smiled bitterly. ¡°I fear I am unworthy of such a precious technique.¡±
¡°No need to worry.¡±
¡°If I am willing to give you this technique, I naturally have my own reasons and benefits behind.¡±
Su Ming spoke calmly.
¡°With your innate Ice Profound Dao Body, cultivating this technique will allow your physique¡¯s potential to be fully realized.¡±
¡°In the future, once you reach a higher realm, maintaining your purity and dual cultivating with me will greatly benefit my cultivation.¡±
*Whoosh!*
At those words, Qin Yingluo¡¯s cheeks flushed, her beauty indescribable.
¡°Of course, you can choose to refuse.¡±
Su Ming¡¯s expression remained indifferent.
¡°I¡¡±
Qin Yingluo was torn.
Solving her physique issue was undeniably the best outcome.
But if she accepted, she would truly become Su Ming¡¯s woman¡
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°Or¡ have you developed feelings for that Ye Chen?¡±
Su Ming smirked playfully.
Ye Chen¡
Hearing that name, a flicker of hesitation appeared in Qin Yingluo¡¯s gaze.
¡°Your Excellency jests. Junior Brother Ye Chen did mention a method to completely cure my physique issue.¡±
But she quickly shook her head, her expression firm.
¡°However, my relationship with him is shallow¡ merely fellow disciples, nothing more.¡±
Her tone was honest, without a trace of deception, and Su Ming could tell she was being truthful.
It seemed that there was no real progress between the two of them yet.
That made things even easier.
Su Ming chuckled and handed her the jade slip.
¡°Hold onto this. I¡¯ll give you three days to think it over. Then, let me know your decision.¡±
Qin Yingluo stared blankly at the jade slip, utterly bewildered.
A *Heavenly Rank* technique!
And the Emperor¡¯s Son just¡ gave it to her?
Wasn¡¯t he afraid she might secretly copy it and then refuse to comply?
Qin Yingluo felt lost.
Meanwhile, Su Ming took in her reaction completely.
But he wasn¡¯t worried.
He already foresaw the outcome.
First, he had pressured her with words, unsettling her emotions.
Then, he used both coercion and enticement, granting both fear and favor.
Even if Qin Yingluo didn¡¯t submit immediately, he had shaken her heart enough.
A little more effort, and she would inevitably fall into his grasp.
At that moment, the system¡¯s notification rang in his mind.
[Ding! Detected a shift in Qin Yingluo¡¯s mindset. Her connection to Ye Chen has weakened. Ye Chen¡¯s luck value decreased by 100 points.]
[Host gains 2,000 Demonic Charm Points.]
A smirk tugged at Su Ming¡¯s lips... What a profitable gain.
And more than that, Ye Chen¡¯s luck had dropped by 100 points.
Su Ming understood well that for a protagonist like Ye Chen, every bit of luck was crucial.
The more it dwindled, the greater Su Ming¡¯s advantage in crushing and harvesting him.
¡°Ye Chen, oh Ye Chen¡ now I¡¯m looking forward to your return.¡±
A wicked gleam flashed in Su Ming¡¯s eyes, his entire presence exuding an indescribable allure.
The beauty beside him found herself momentarily entranced.
¡
A hundred thousand miles away, deep within a mountain range...
Atop the branch of a towering tree stood a striking figure, brimming with heroic spirit.
¡°Achoo!¡±
Ye Chen suddenly sneezed, his brows furrowing.
¡°Huh? Why do I have a bad feeling all of a sudden¡?¡±
11. Su Ming鈥檚 Overbearing Words! A Single Statement Decides Everything! This Man is Unfathomable!
"Probably just an illusion¡ After all, this treasure hunt yielded great rewards!"
He shook his head, then smiled with satisfaction.
"I finally fully activated the Extreme Ice Divine Talisman, and my cultivation has broken through to the Ghostly Passage Realm. Soon, I''ll step into the Profound Cave Realm."
Ye Chen was delighted.
Aside from his rapid progress in cultivation, another matter excited him.
The Cangyun Dao Sect was in crisis!
For ordinary disciples, a sect crisis was bad news.
But for Ye Chen, this was the perfect opportunity to prove himself.
"The Cangyun Dao Sect may have lost its ancestor, but its foundation remains, and its strength is not to be underestimated..."
"If I can help the sect overcome this crisis, the sect leader will surely see me in a new light, and I can naturally win the hearts of the entire sect!"
Thinking of this, Ye Chen was filled with excitement.
He was born into humble origins with no prestigious background.
For this reason, he had to seize every opportunity to rise and change his fate!
Moreover¡ a delicate and peerlessly beautiful face kept surfacing in his mind, lingering for a long time.
If he could rescue the sect from peril, his relationship with Senior Sister Ying Luo should improve as well¡
"No, I can¡¯t rush in blindly. Going back alone won¡¯t work, I need reinforcements to be safe!"
Ye Chen felt restless at the thought.
After all, the Cangyun Dao Sect was facing the siege of two great dao sects.
Although Ye Chen considered himself a rare genius, he knew he could not resolve the crisis alone.
But fortunately, he was a chosen one, blessed with great fortune!
Many major forces had placed their bets on him, and even some ancient experts had taken an interest in him!
If he could recruit just two dao sects or ancient families, it should be enough to resolve the sect¡¯s crisis.
After contemplating for a moment, Ye Chen stepped forward and dashed in a certain direction!
At this moment, his heart was filled with enthusiasm because soon¡ his name, Ye Chen, would resound throughout the Three Thousand Great Worlds!
¡
The next day, at Cangyun Dao Sect.

Su Ming appeared with Qin Yingluo, drawing countless gazes filled with scrutiny toward Qin Yingluo¡¯s stunning figure.
Their expressions carried a mix of ambiguity and complexity.
After all, Qin Yingluo had spent the entire night by the Emperor¡¯s Son¡¯s side.
A lone man and woman together, what had happened was self-evident.
Feeling the suggestive glances around her, Qin Yingluo opened her mouth to explain but found she had nothing to say.
Even if she tried to clarify, no one would believe her.
Strangely, she wasn¡¯t as repulsed by these misunderstandings as she would have been before.
In the past, if someone had misunderstood her, she would have clarified immediately to prevent any rumors from spreading.
But after everything that had happened last night, her perception of Su Ming had undergone a drastic change.
This man was not as arrogant and domineering as Junior Brother Ye had described.
If he had merely gestured, she would have been powerless to resist and would have been reduced to nothing more than a tool.
Yet, the Demon Emperor¡¯s Son had not laid a finger on her. Instead, he had even taught her a Heaven Ranked cultivation technique¡
Thinking of this, Qin Yingluo felt a mix of emotions.
"Emperor¡¯s Son, the main hall has been prepared with fine wine and delicacies," Qin Canghai said respectfully.
"Mm."
Su Ming responded casually.
The group entered the main hall in a line.
Su Ming naturally took the seat of honor.
Qin Yingluo sat close beside him, like a little attendant.
She poured him wine and tea, appearing very obedient.
Seeing this, Hongshu and Qingniao, who sat beside Su Ming, pouted slightly, feeling somewhat displeased.
"Go and summon the people from Silver Moon Dao Sect and Guicang Dao Sect."
Su Ming sipped his wine and spoke lightly.
Hearing this, Qin Canghai was first stunned, then overjoyed.
Was the Emperor¡¯s Son¡ stepping in for their sect?
"Understood!"
Qin Canghai hurriedly sent someone to deliver the message.
Before long, several figures entered the hall with guarded expressions.
Leading them were the elders and holy sons from Silver Moon Dao Sect and Guicang Dao Sect.
"Greetings, Demon Emperor¡¯s Son."
The four respectfully saluted the man seated in the highest position in the hall.
"Sit."
Su Ming instructed.
"I called you here for one matter."
"This Cangyun Dao Sect, I will protect it."
His words were overbearing, decisive, and final.
"This¡"
The people from the two dao sects hesitated.
Silver Moon¡¯s holy son, being impulsive, felt unwilling to accept this.
He wanted to say something but was immediately stopped by the Silver Moon Elder beside him.
At that moment, the elder¡¯s gaze was filled with seriousness.
He secretly observed Su Ming, seated above, and his heart trembled.
"How could this be? I seem to be unable to see through him?!"
His expression shifted unpredictably.
As a peak expert of the Nether Sea Realm, he possessed immense power, and his divine sense was boundless.
Yesterday, he had seen Su Ming face to face.
At that time, Su Ming had seemed profound, unlike an ordinary Profound Cave Realm cultivator.
But to the elder, Su Ming had still been within his grasp.
After all, the difference in their cultivation levels was simply too vast.
Yet today was entirely different!
When he gazed at Su Ming now¡
The man sitting in the highest seat radiated an extraordinary aura, as immovable as a great mountain, making it impossible to discern his depth!
The Silver Moon Elder was utterly shocked.
Had the Demon Emperor¡¯s Son undergone another massive breakthrough in just one night?
Due to the isolation array within the Cangyun Dao Sect, the elder had no knowledge of last night¡¯s events within the holy land. He only felt an overwhelming sense of dread.
This man was terrifying!
Was he truly the same Demon Emperor¡¯s Son whose Primal True Demon Heart had once gone dormant?
Previously, the Demon Emperor¡¯s Son had been somewhat famous in the Three Thousand Great Worlds but had never reached such an unfathomable level.
Now, it seemed likely that he had been hiding his true power all along!
Realizing this, the Silver Moon Elder immediately chose to yield.
Regardless, they dared not go against the will of the Infinite Demon Palace. It was better to go with the flow and give the man some respect.
Who knew? Perhaps this decision would yield unexpected benefits in the future.
12. I, Ye Chen, Have Returned! Who Told You to Meddle!
"Yes, we will follow the orders of the Emperor''s Son!"
Elder Silver Moon quickly responded.
The people from the Guicang Dao Sect were puzzled, but seeing the Silver Moon Elder''s stance, they also nodded in agreement.
"Good. I won''t let your two Dao Sects'' work go in vain. Naturally, I will express my gratitude."
Su Ming said calmly.
"Thank you, Demon Emperor''s Son!"
Both Dao Sects responded in unison.
With just a few words, this calamity of destruction... was resolved.
The disciples of Cangyun Dao Sect were left in a daze.
It was... solved just like that?!
For days, they had been restless, unable to eat or sleep, fearing that the enemy would breach the sect''s defenses at any moment and bring about a massacre.
But now, Su Ming had spoken a few words so casually, and the sect''s crisis was gone just like that?
Qin Yingluo''s heart was filled with waves of emotions.
She secretly turned her head to glance at Su Ming, seeing him still composed, otherworldly, and indifferent.
It was as if he wasn''t discussing the life and death of a sect but merely chatting about mundane affairs.
Qin Yingluo''s eyes flickered.
Providing others with a sense of security in times of crisis, nothing inspired more trust than that.
Her thoughts drifted.
[Ding! Fate-bound girl Qin Yingluo''s loyalty has increased, Ye Chen''s fate has decreased by 50 points, and the host''s demonic charm has increased by 1,000 points.]
[A/N: 1 Fate Point = 20 Demonic Charm Points]
Hearing the system notification, the corner of Su Ming¡¯s mouth curled into a smile.
This "wool" was getting plucked so comfortably.
With Cangyun Dao Sect''s issue resolved, Qin Canghai eagerly invited everyone to a grand banquet.
Inside the great hall, music played, people laughed, and the sect''s restrictions were lifted. The disciples from the Silver Moon and Guicang Dao Sect also entered.
These seasoned figures, who were at each other''s throats just moments ago, were now sitting together, exchanging pleasantries as if they were old friends.
"Dao Master Qin, you made a wise decision this time..."
Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.
Elder Silver Moon chuckled.
"Not at all, we are merely serving the Demon Emperor''s Son."
Qin Canghai waved his hand modestly, looking content.
"Heh."
During the casual conversation, Elder Silver Moon grew curious and asked casually,
"By the way, what exactly happened last night when the Demon Emperor''s Son arrived?"
"How did he change so drastically in just one night?"
"Well..."
Qin Canghai smiled and recounted the events of the great earthquake in the sect.
Elder Silver Moon was utterly shocked upon hearing it, as was the entire Cangyun Dao Sect.
Dragon Power Shattering the Heavens?!
Such an overwhelming boost in strength!
Elder Silver Moon was left both astounded and terrified, secretly making up his mind.
From now on, he must never oppose the Demon Emperor''s Son!
On the other side, the Silver Moon Holy Son, full of admiration and amazement, looked toward the high seat.
There sat the Saintess of Cangyun.
Qin Yingluo sat obediently beside Su Ming, delicately peeling a grape and feeding it to him.
Such an act... Where was the rumored cold and untouchable demeanor?
He couldn''t help but feel a pang of jealousy. The Demon Emperor''s Son was truly blessed!
Such beauty, such elegance, she was truly exceptional.
The Silver Moon Holy Son shook his head, not daring to think further.
A woman like that was beyond his reach.
He had already offended the Demon Emperor''s Son before and had been harshly reprimanded by the elder. He dared not act rashly again.
"Thank you, Demon Emperor''s Son, for everything you have done for Cangyun Dao Sect."
Qin Yingluo sat beside him, her fragrance filling the air.
Her face, fair as snow and breathtakingly beautiful, could captivate the world.
Yet at this moment, she revealed a softness and warmth that had never been seen before.
"It was a small matter. For my people, it was nothing."
My people.
Hearing these words, Qin Yingluo''s eyelashes trembled, and her heart quivered.
A complex feeling welled up within her.
Sigh...
She knew Su Ming''s nature was indifferent, yet she couldn''t help but feel a trace of anticipation.
Maybe... just like this¡
Qin Yingluo''s mind swirled with thoughts. Just as she was about to speak, suddenly, a scream came from outside the hall.
The lively atmosphere instantly became tense.
"What happened?"
Qin Canghai''s eyes turned cold.
"Elder! Someone attacked and killed a disciple from Silver Moon Dao Sect!"
A disciple rushed in to report.
What?!
Everyone was stunned.
They had just resolved their grievances and returned to a peaceful life.
Now, someone had dared to kill a disciple of the Silver Moon Dao Sect?
Elder Silver Moon''s face darkened as he looked at Qin Canghai.
Qin Canghai stood up abruptly. "Let''s go and check!"
"Elder Silver Moon, rest assured, if this was done by someone from Cangyun Dao Sect, we will give you a proper explanation!"
He was furious.
He had to see for himself who was causing trouble in his sect!
On the high seat, Su Ming''s eyes flickered.
That foolish protagonist was back?
Heh¡ The absolute cinema was about to begin.
¡
At the central square of Cangyun Dao Sect.
A figure stood tall, exuding an imposing aura.
"I, Ye Chen, have returned! Who dares to act recklessly in my Cangyun Dao Sect?!"
It was Ye Chen!
At this moment, he had made his triumphant return, eager to showcase his strength and make a name for himself.
His mood was soaring.
The timing of his return was perfect. This group of people must have just arrived at the sect.
But¡ something felt off.
Why were there no signs of battle?
Ye Chen frowned slightly.
Just then, an angry roar resounded.
"Ye Chen! Who told you to meddle?!"
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Several figures appeared in the square.
Ye Chen looked at the person in the center and was momentarily stunned. "Master?"
"You!"
Qin Canghai''s face was grim as he glared at Ye Chen.
Then, he looked at the Silver Moon disciple lying in a pool of blood and was furious.
"Who told you to act?!"
"What¡?"
Ye Chen was dumbfounded.
Then, he indignantly said, "Master, these people dared to invade our Cangyun Dao Sect! They deserve to die!"
"Master, don¡¯t worry. I have already invited a powerful senior to assist us. Today, our sect may not necessarily lose!"
13. The Terrifying Might of the Demon Emperor鈥檚 Son! The Pathwalking Realm Shadow Guard!
"Jie Jie Jie..."
A burst of eerie laughter echoed.
Then, another group of figures emerged from the surroundings.
Leading them was an old man with an unfathomable aura, clearly another expert at the Nether Sea Realm.
"Xuan Yin Old Monster?"
Elder Silver Moon and Elder Guicang''s expressions turned grim upon seeing this man.
The leader of this group was none other than the Holy Lord of the Xuan Yin Dao Sect.
The people following him were all elite experts of the Xuan Yin Dao Sect.
"Xuan Yin Old Monster, you actually dare to show yourself?"
Elder Silver Moon spoke coldly.
"Why wouldn''t I?"
The Xuan Yin Holy Lord smiled, his face full of confidence. "Little friend Ye Chen''s sect is in trouble, and I extend a helping hand. What''s wrong with that?"
"Your two great sacred lands joined forces to bully Cangyun Dao Sect. Isn''t that too domineering?"
Even though he was facing the combined forces of Silver Moon and Guicang Dao Sect, he remained unfazed.
After all, the true Holy Lords of these sacred lands had not personally arrived. With his strength, he could retreat unscathed at any time.
The Xuan Yin Holy Lord had high hopes for Ye Chen.
This young man had extraordinary talent. Though his background was humble, his cultivation progress was astonishingly fast.
Ye Chen had once helped his daughter, and he remembered this favor.
But more importantly, it was for the future of the Xuan Yin Holy Sect.
In his view, as long as Ye Chen was given enough time, he would undoubtedly soar into the skies!
Forging ties with such a heaven-defying genius in advance would ensure the Xuan Yin Dao Sect¡¯s boundless future.
"Heh heh."
The Xuan Yin Holy Lord was confident.
This time, he had prepared thoroughly, working together with forces inside Cangyun Dao Sect. It was enough to deal with the current crisis.
"Dao Master Cangyun, rest assured. We came at your disciple¡¯s invitation to offer assistance."
The Xuan Yin Holy Lord smiled.
But what greeted him were faces dark as iron.
Qin Canghai was about to explode in rage.
Help?
The crisis had already been resolved!
Now, by disregarding right and wrong and killing disciples of Silver Moon Sacred Land, weren''t they throwing Cangyun Dao Sect back into the fire pit?
Not only that, but Ye Chen had even drawn in outsiders.
Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.
Even if the Demon Emperor¡¯s Son didn''t intervene, with the Xuan Yin Dao Sect getting involved and helping them through this ordeal, what would happen next?
Cangyun Dao Sect lacked a Pathwalking Realm powerhouse to hold the fort and had already made enemies with the Infinite Demon Palace.
By then, wouldn¡¯t they be forced to become dependent on the Xuan Yin Dao Sect, ultimately leading to their annexation?
This wasn¡¯t help, it was inviting a wolf into the house!
The more Qin Canghai thought about it, the angrier she became.
At this moment, Ye Chen spoke.
"Master, Cangyun Dao Sect is saved. You don¡¯t have to get worked up. This is what I should do as a disciple."
He revealed what he believed to be an irresistibly charming smile.
After this, having saved Cangyun Dao Sect from disaster, he would surely win the unanimous approval of the sect, right?
And then, there was Senior Sister Ying Luo.
Just as Ye Chen was indulging in his fantasy...
A furious roar suddenly erupted.
"You foolish brat, you¡¯re bringing disaster to our sect!!"
Qin Canghai erupted in rage, his voice shaking the entire sacred land.
"Master, I..."
Ye Chen was stunned, confused.
"Kneel!"
"Do you even know what you¡¯ve done?!"
"The crisis of Cangyun Dao Sect was already resolved by the Demon Emperor¡¯s Son!"
"And yet, you dared to kill disciples of Silver Moon Dao Sect? Are you trying to reignite the conflict?!"
Qin Canghai was seething.
"What?"
Ye Chen was dumbfounded.
Resolved?
How was that possible?
The last news he had received clearly stated that the two great dao sects were oppressing Cangyun Dao Sect, putting them in a precarious situation... right?
And... the Demon Emperor¡¯s Son?
That title made him feel an inexplicable sense of unease.
On the other side, the Xuan Yin Holy Lord, upon hearing those three words, felt his heart skip a beat.
An ominous premonition arose within him...
Throughout the vast Three Thousand Great Worlds, those who could be called "Emperor¡¯s Son" were extremely rare.
Coupled with the attitude of Elder Silver Moon and Elder Guicang...
Both of them seemed neither hostile nor tense.
Instead, they appeared to be watching a show.
At this moment, a calm voice sounded behind them.
"It¡¯s quite lively here."
The crowd parted, revealing a young man in a luxurious robe walking forward unhurriedly.
Between Su Ming¡¯s brows, a faint divine radiance seemed to flow, his presence otherworldly.
He entered everyone¡¯s sight like an immortal descending from the heavens.
Beside him was the Holy Maiden of Cangyun, walking one step behind him.
The two of them together truly seemed like a match made by destiny.
The moment the Xuan Yin Holy Lord saw this figure, his face changed drastically.
"D-Demon Emperor¡¯s Son?!"
*Thud!*
He dropped to his knees.
His face turned pale, and his mind buzzed blankly.
What was going on?
Why was the Demon Realm¡¯s Emperor¡¯s Son here?
"Xuan Yin Dao Sect, quite a well-known name."
Su Ming¡¯s voice was calm, but the meaning in his words made the Xuan Yin Holy Lord tremble.
"Audacious Xuan Yin Dao Sect!"
"The Emperor¡¯s Son is present, yet you entered unannounced, bringing so many people. Could it be that you intended to assassinate him?!"
Elder Silver Moon sternly rebuked.
"I-I..."
The Xuan Yin Holy Lord was stunned.
He hadn¡¯t known the Emperor¡¯s Son was here!
From Ye Chen¡¯s message, he had only heard that the two dao sects had joined forces to act against the Cangyun Dao Sect.
He had no idea it had been sanctioned by the Infinite Demon Palace!
"Supreme Demon Emperor¡¯s Son, this must be a misunderstanding! I truly didn¡¯t know you were here..."
The Xuan Yin Holy Lord, a dignified Nether Sea Realm powerhouse, was now trembling in fear, hurriedly trying to explain.
If he were to be accused of "assassinating the Demon Emperor¡¯s Son," how could the Xuan Yin Holy Sect possibly bear the consequences?
"Shadow Guard."
Su Ming wasn¡¯t interested in hearing his explanation. He spoke indifferently.
*Whoosh!*
Behind him, where there had been nothing, light and shadow suddenly shifted.
A vortex-like airflow formed out of thin air, and from it, a figure stepped forward.
This person was clad in black, with a hood concealing his face.
Yet, with his appearance, a terrifying pressure instantly engulfed the entire Cangyun Dao Sect.
In an instant, everyone felt as if a massive mountain was pressing down on them, forcing them to bow involuntarily.
Be it Dao Master Cangyun or the elders of Silver Moon and Guicang Sacred Lands, all of them were drenched in cold sweat.
Shadow Guard!
The most elite and terrifying force of the Infinite Demon Palace!
It was said that there were only ten of them in total, each one a peak Pathwalking Realm powerhouse, or even a Divine Dao Realm mighty figure!
They answered only to the Demon Emperor, acting solely on his orders.
Some of them were also tasked with protecting the Emperor¡¯s Son.
Everyone had thought that Su Ming, during his travels, was only accompanied by his Demon Armor Guards, but no one had ever expected that he would brought along a terrifying entity like Shadow Guard as well!
14. Ye Chen Shocked, Su Ming Rocked!
Su Ming¡¯s eyebrows raised slightly.
He had long been aware that such a terrifying guardian was by his side.
However, these Shadow Guards, just as their name suggested, were like shadows, silent and undetectable.
Unless they received orders, they would not take the initiative to reveal themselves.
"The Xuan Yin Dao Sect no longer needs to exist."
Su Ming spoke calmly.
"Understood."
A deep, genderless voice came from beneath the black cloak.
The next moment, the Shadow Guard took a step forward and vanished without a trace.
As soon as these words were spoken, the Xuan Yin Sect Master was scared out of his wits.
Not just him, everyone around turned pale, their bodies trembling with a chill.
It was just a simple sentence.
But when spoken by Su Ming, it determined the fate of an entire sect!
"Your Highness, Your Highness¡!"
The Xuan Yin Sect Master was filled with terror, screaming as he tried to plead his case.
Just then, from the space where the Shadow Guard had disappeared earlier, a black hand suddenly reached out.
That Shadow Guard had returned, seizing the Xuan Yin Sect Master with one hand.
It must be noted that this Xuan Yin Sect Master was a top expert of the Nether Sea Realm.
Yet in the grip of this hand, he had no power to resist.
He was sucked into the vortex and vanished in an instant, without even a sound.
The entire scene fell into a dead silence.
Everyone felt their scalps tingle, collectively gasping in shock.
This was the authority of the Demon Emperor¡¯s son¡ too terrifying.
The elders from Silver Moon and Guicang Dao Sect were sweating profusely.
Qin Canghai was even more fearful, filled with dread.
Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.
He felt fortunate that he hadn¡¯t acted rashly last night.
Otherwise, the Cangyun Dao Sect might have already been reduced to energy particles.
Just a single Shadow Guard was enough to sweep through their entire sect, no one could stand against him.
The crowd was left in awe and fear.
Although the Demon Emperor¡¯s son had seemed calm and refined since his arrival yesterday, in his eyes, everyone here was nothing more than ants.
Only now had the true presence of a true ruler been revealed!
Even Qin Yingluo, standing behind Su Ming, couldn¡¯t help but feel a chill run down her back.
She felt as though she had glimpsed another side of the Demon Emperor¡¯s son.
It seemed that last night, he had already been merciful in his attitude toward her.
This was Su Ming¡¯s true power and presence!
As the Shadow Guard departed, the immense pressure blanketing the sect finally dissipated.
Everyone let out a slight sigh of relief.
At that moment, Ye Chen, who had been watching from a distance, finally reacted.
"It¡¯s you!!!"
Ye Chen¡¯s eyes widened, nearly bursting with fury.
He recognized Su Ming instantly, and his face twisted with rage.
"Su Ming! Do you still remember me, Ye Chen!?"
"Four years ago, you crippled my father!"
"You caused the downfall of my Ye family, leaving us in disgrace! And now, you dare to come to Cangyun Dao Sect?!"
"Master, this is all part of his scheme! He¡¯s a great menace!"
"Su Ming is absolutely evil! You must not believe him!"
Ye Chen spoke urgently, desperate for everyone to see the truth.
But to Qin Canghai, these words were infuriating.
"Impudent!"
"How dare you show disrespect to the Demon Emperor¡¯s son?!"
Qin Canghai roared in rage.
Setting aside the terrifying power displayed by the Shadow Guard earlier, just the fact that Su Ming had personally saved Cangyun Dao Sect was already an immense favor to them!
And what about Ye Chen?
When the sect was in crisis, he was nowhere to be seen.
Now that the danger was over, he suddenly appeared with a group of wolves at his back.
And even worse, he had offended the Demon Emperor¡¯s son!
Who was truly the real mess here?
"Ye Chen!"
"From this day forward, you are no longer the Holy Son of Cangyun Dao Sect! I have no more ties with you!"
Qin Canghai¡¯s face was red with fury as he shouted.
"W-what...?"
Hearing these words, Ye Chen was completely dumbfounded.
He had come to help save the sect, so how had he ended up being expelled instead?
No¡ This couldn¡¯t be real!
Ye Chen¡¯s face contorted with disbelief.
Things weren¡¯t supposed to happen like this!
He was the fated hero, chosen by eternal destiny!
This crisis was supposed to be his stepping stone to rise!
But now, instead of rising, he had lost everything?!
"Su Ming! You despicable villain!"
"You planned all of this, didn¡¯t you?!"
"If you have the guts, explain yourself before everyone! Let them see your true face!"
Ye Chen¡¯s eyes burned with fury as he glared at the lofty figure before him.
Su Ming did not move.
His expression remained calm, unaffected even by the so-called protagonist standing before him.
If Ye Chen were given enough time to grow, he could indeed become a threat.
But now that he had delivered himself to Su Ming¡¯s doorstep, Su Ming would never give him that chance.
"I¡¯m a bit thirsty."
Su Ming said indifferently.
Qin Yingluo, who had been by his side the whole time, was momentarily stunned.
Then, as if by instinct, she picked up a cup of tea and respectfully brought it to Su Ming¡¯s lips.
The movement was smooth and natural.
After all, Qin Yingluo had already accepted her role as his servant.
But to Ye Chen, this scene was both shocking and infuriating, piercing his heart like a blade!
How could this be¡?!
Senior Sister Yingluo was actually serving Su Ming?!
And her movements were so natural, so practiced!
How had this happened in just a few days?!
How was this possible¡?!
15. I Was Wrong About You!
Ye Chen deeply understood that his senior sister, Qin Yingluo, had a very proud and aloof personality.
She was cold and indifferent to everyone, not bothering to be polite.
But to Ye Chen, he had even fantasized that the two of them were a match made in heaven, with mutual affection.
But even though he thought this in his heart, there were no intimate actions between them.
He had never even touched the corner of her clothes.
And now... Qin Yingluo was "taken" by Su Ming?
"Yingluo, what are you doing?"
"Say something! Did you really stand on his side too?"
Thinking of this, Ye Chen''s face twisted, and his eyes burned with anger as he shouted.
Qin Yingluo heard this.
A trace of hesitation appeared on her exquisite face.
But soon, this hesitation disappeared without a trace.
"Ye Chen, I know you have many misunderstandings about the Emperor''s son."
Qin Yingluo said faintly.
"But in this matter, the Demon Emperor''s son saved our Cangyun Dao Sect. He is an undeniable benefactor to our sect."
Misunderstanding?
When Ye Chen heard this word, his throat tightened, and he almost couldn''t breathe.
His face turned red, and fury filled his heart.
How did those events become misunderstandings?
This damn woman!
Clearly, she was also bewitched by Su Ming!
"You... Qin Yingluo, I didn''t expect you to be so shallow! I was wrong about you!"
Ye Chen instinctively yelled.
But once the words came out, he immediately regretted it.
Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
He had spoken too harshly.
But now, obviously, there was no way to take it back.
Qin Yingluo''s face darkened upon hearing this, and anger flashed in her watery eyes.
After all, she was the Saintess of Cangyun, and even if she had no status in front of Su Ming, it didn''t mean that anyone could shout at her like that.
In the past, Qin Yingluo had been somewhat easygoing towards Ye Chen, yes.
After all, he was a talented young man in the Cangyun Dao Sect.
But that was limited to friendship and sectmates.
She had originally thought that perhaps Ye Chen had some misunderstandings about the Demon Emperor''s son and that she might have a chance to mediate.
But now, it seemed...
Ye Chen clearly didn¡¯t know what was good for him!
[Ding! Detected a break in the relationship between Qin Yingluo and Ye Chen, Ye Chen''s luck value decreases by 200.]
The familiar system prompt sounded in Su Ming''s ear.
"Ye Chen, since you said you wanted everyone to see my true face, I''m curious... What exactly do you want to say?"
Su Ming smiled slightly and, after a brief silence, finally spoke.
"Do I even need to ask? Of course, it''s..."
Ye Chen angrily opened his mouth, ready to list all of Su Ming''s crimes.
But as the words came to his lips, he suddenly stopped.
Su Ming... What crimes...?
He had severely wounded his father, causing the Ye family to fall into decline. These past few years, the Ye family''s situation had been very difficult.
But ultimately, this was his personal matter.
Moreover, considering Su Ming''s previous actions...
He could easily destroy a Holy Land with a casual word, let alone their small, remote family.
Looking at it this way... The Ye family¡¯s survival until now was actually due to Su Ming''s favor?
No! Impossible!
There must be something else!
Ye Chen''s face alternated between green and white, stammering for a long time, but unable to say a complete accusation.
His heart tightened, realizing that he had acted too rashly.
The people around them watched with cold eyes.
"Well, why aren''t you speaking?"
"I thought you would say something reasonable, but instead, it was just nonsense?"
Seeing Ye Chen standing there in a daze, the disciples and elders around sneered.
In their eyes, Ye Chen was just jealous of Su Ming and furious.
Because of his selfishness, he almost led the entire sect into ashes. He was utterly disgusting!
In an instant, everyone''s opinion of Ye Chen changed drastically.
"Emperor¡¯s son, why waste words on such trash?"
"This kid dared to be disrespectful to you and even killed our Silver Moon Holy Land''s people. He should be punished!"
"I''ll handle it, let me help the Emperor''s son punish this vile one!"
The Silver Moon Holy Son stepped forward proactively.
As he spoke, his spiritual power surged, and he grabbed towards Ye Chen.
The Silver Moon Holy Son was at the Profound Cave realm, which was a clear advantage over Ye Chen.
Moreover, with his innate Silver Moon Holy Body, when he made a move, golden light shimmered like a sword, resembling a whip.
Boom...!
A palm struck down, and the wind of the sword swept with it.
The others just quietly waited for the result.
From their observation, Ye Chen would clearly be unable to resist.
After all, the Silver Moon Holy Son not only had higher cultivation but also possessed a Holy body.
How could someone like Ye Chen withstand it?
But Ye Chen¡¯s eyes lit up.
"Nice!"
He had been hoping for a chance to show his abilities, and now, the Silver Moon Holy Son had provided him with one.
At this moment, his eyes flashed, and excitement spread across his face...
Facing the mighty palm of the Silver Moon Holy Son, Ye Chen took a step forward and then threw out a punch directly!
16. The Demon Emperors Son Is Too Powerful! Overwhelming Crushing!
Immediately after.
The spiritual power roared, and an astonishing force exploded suddenly, creating a small whirlwind on the ground.
The Silver Moon Holy Son, who was supposed to have the advantage, trembled violently.
Under the impact of this punch, he was directly shaken backward.
And on the opposite side, Ye Chen stood like an immovable mountain.
Ice-cold spiritual power swirled around him, making him appear heroic and reaching for the sky.
This kind of momentum was truly shocking.
¡°What?¡±
¡°Ye Chen actually blocked it?!¡±
¡°Ye Chen is this powerful?¡±
The crowd watching around exclaimed in astonishment.
The power Ye Chen displayed was beyond their expectations.
The Silver Moon Holy Son was a powerful figure in the Profound Cave realm, originally higher than Ye Chen in cultivation.
In addition, he possessed the Silver Moon Holy Body, a special constitution that enhanced the power of the secret techniques from the Silver Moon Dao Sect.
With the strength of the Silver Moon Holy Son, even facing an opponent in the Myriad Laws realm, he would have the ability to fight.
But now, after a brief exchange, it was Ye Chen who seemed to be more at ease!
It was hard to believe, but just a few days ago, he was only a Ghostly Passage realm cultivator, and there was a huge gap between him and the Silver Moon Holy Son.
But now, in the blink of an eye, he had reached such a level!
Many of the disciples and elders who had been very displeased with Ye Chen earlier now had a turbulent feeling in their hearts.
Is this really the talent our Cangyun Dao Sect has nurtured?
The only one who wasn¡¯t surprised was Su Ming.
After all, he was a favored one by destiny, so what¡¯s so impressive about this achievement?
With Ye Chen''s potential and methods, challenging those beyond his level was just routine.
¡°Su Ming, did you see that?¡±
¡°This is my power!¡±
Ye Chen¡¯s face was filled with pride.
¡°It doesn¡¯t matter that I was born lowly. I work diligently, cultivating every day without rest. I¡¯m far better than you!¡±
¡°The only thing you have over me is your background!¡±
¡°If we started from the same point, I¡¯d definitely soar higher than you!¡±
Ye Chen spoke with firm and proud words.
The scene where he had just knocked back the Silver Moon Holy Son, combined with these grandiose words, indeed stirred up the fighting spirit of many present.
This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.
Even the Cangyun Dao Master, who had been seething with anger earlier, now had a subtle change in his expression.
Such a genius truly made people pity him.
¡°Bastard!¡±
¡°It was just a slip of the hand earlier, but now I¡¯ll let you witness real power!¡±
The Silver Moon Holy Son was enraged, his spiritual power surging as he prepared to reclaim his dignity.
At this moment, Su Ming spoke up.
¡°Enough.¡±
He stood up, his wide sleeves fluttering in the wind, his white clothes as snowy as the purest snow, paired with his unparalleled handsome face, instantly drew back the attention of everyone who had previously been focused on Ye Chen.
Su Ming¡¯s gaze was indifferent.
¡°Your shallow words, though, have some interest.¡±
¡°However...¡±
¡°Why do you think you¡¯re qualified to compare with me?¡±
His faint voice sounded.
At the same time, a misty ancient demonic eye appeared on Su Ming¡¯s forehead.
It was the Primal Demon Eye, and the terrifying pressure erupted suddenly.
With this power, a violent wind rose inside the Cangyun Dao Sect, and the heavens seemed to change color.
Everyone¡¯s ears rang with a thunderous sound.
*Boom...!*
Above their heads, dark clouds gathered, almost pressing down on the city, with lightning snakes twisting and passing through the clouds.
The terrifying force descended from the sky.
*Boom!*
Amid the thunder, a beam of light shot from the center of Su Ming''s forehead toward Ye Chen.
Ye Chen felt as if a mountain had been pressed down on him. His knees buckled, and he crashed into the ground.
"Ghhh..."
Using all his strength, he barely supported himself, kneeling on the ground.
At this moment, Ye Chen¡¯s face was pale.
Just now, he didn¡¯t see Su Ming.
Instead, he saw the terrifying Primordial Dragon that tore apart the sky and swallowed the sun and moon.
The Primal Demon Eye was emotionless and struck deep into Ye Chen¡¯s soul.
For the first time, he felt an overwhelming sense of defeat.
Small, like an ant.
The gap between them was like a vast chasm!
¡°How could this be...¡±
¡°How can he be this powerful...¡±
Ye Chen¡¯s eyes were bloodshot, and despite using all his strength, he didn¡¯t even have the courage to lift his head.
The difference in strength was too great; he had no chance to resist.
Even if he could stand, once he made a move, death would be waiting for him!
The people around also felt their scalps tingle and their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
This... this is the power of the Demon Emperor¡¯s son... it¡¯s too terrifying!
Earlier, when Ye Chen spoke about Su Ming¡¯s background, many had privately nodded in agreement.
They thought to themselves that if it were them, they wouldn¡¯t be weaker than Su Ming either.
But now, no one dared to have such thoughts anymore!
Such power couldn¡¯t possibly come from just a background!
Even if the Infinite Demon Palace had boundless power and countless rare treasures, Su Ming was only eighteen years old!
Without talent, without hard cultivation, how could he have reached such a level!
This sudden gaze even filled many of the elders in the Nether Sea realm with fear.
The Demon Emperor¡¯s Son is too terrifying!
No one dared to look directly at that snowy white figure anymore.
Su Ming slightly raised an eyebrow.
The power of the Primal Demon Eye was quite impressive.
After all, it was a powerful divine ability refined with the heart blood of the Primordial Dragon.
Even in its preliminary form, it had this kind of power.
With the added strength of the Primal True Demon Heart, the effect was even more striking.
Ye Chen¡¯s previous scheme was clear.
If the Silver Moon Holy Son had made a move, he would have surely lost to this lucky child of fate.
At that point, Ye Chen would have defeated the Silver Moon Holy Son, reversed the situation, and triumphed over the stronger opponent.
It would have been a stunning turnaround, increasing his prestige.
Even those who had previously disliked him would change their views greatly.
After all, people always admired the strong.
Especially a story like Ye Chen¡¯s, where someone from a lowly background could rise up, it was highly inspiring and cringe at the same time for him...
At that moment, Ye Chen would have fought valiantly, occupying the moral high ground, forcing Su Ming to refrain from pursuing further.
He could leave him with a chance to grow, agree to a three-year bet, and allow him to spread his name across the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
But... unfortunately.
Su Ming was too familiar with such lowly written plots.
Therefore, he would never give Ye Chen any chance to exploit.
If he was going to suppress, he would suppress thoroughly.
Leaving Ye Chen no room to rise again!
¡°Is that all?¡±
Su Ming shook his head and coldly evaluated.
This attitude made Ye Chen feel even more humiliated, as if he wanted to vomit blood.
In this indifferent tone, Su Ming didn¡¯t even consider him worth attention!
17. Terrifying! Charm Value Increased!
"The supremacy of the Emperor''s Son is terrifying to the extreme."
Qin Canghai suddenly woke up, his face filled with a flattering smile, immediately kneeling and submitting.
Seeing this, others also followed suit, bowing to Su Ming in greeting.
For a moment, no one in the entire sect dared to look up.
Ye Chen, who had barely gained some prestige with his strength and words, saw it all dissipate in an instant.
After all, no matter how high his talent or promising his future, once he offended the Demon Emperor''s Son, there was only one road left.... death!
Behind him, Qin Yingluo¡¯s eyes sparkled as she looked at Su Ming, her gaze now tinged with admiration.
Strong... Invincible.
Such a domineering and terrifying existence was truly the one most worth following.
At this moment, Qin Yingluo''s heart had completely turned toward Su Ming.
[Ding! Qin Yingluo is completely disappointed in Ye Chen, Ye Chen¡¯s luck value decreases by 100.]
[Ding! Ye Chen loses the support of people¡¯s hearts, luck value decreases by 100 points.]
[Ding! Host''s domineering behavior displays the power of the Demon Lord, reward: Demonic charm value increases by 3,000 points.]
A series of system prompts rang in Su Ming¡¯s ears.
Su Ming was quite satisfied.
This was a nice little windfall.
Under continuous suppression, Ye Chen''s luck value had been halved.
His gaze shifted, and he re-examined Ye Chen¡¯s status panel.
Ye Chen: Child of Destiny
Secret Treasure: Extreme Ice Divine Talisman, Primal Ancestor Dragon Fist
Luck Core: Divine Talisman Stone Tower
Luck Value: 500 points
[Once the luck value drops below 100 points, he will lose the title of Child of Destiny.]
Current Kill Rewards: Extreme Wind Dao Technique, Dragon Strike Staff, Emerald Sea Silver Tide Formula...
"Eh? Updated?"
Su Ming¡¯s eyes lit up.
This was likely a result of Ye Chen¡¯s luck value being reduced multiple times, causing the drop rate to increase significantly.
Previously, when Ye Chen¡¯s luck value was 1,000 points, the kill rewards were displayed as "None."
Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
But now, not only were there kill rewards, but a new entry "Luck Core" had appeared.
"Interesting."
"However, the current drops are not much to look at."
Su Ming quickly browsed through the rewards.
The best reward was the Extreme Wind Dao Technique, a powerful spell of a relatively high grade.
It was likely the technique Ye Chen had comprehended at the Ancient Tower of Cangyun Dao Sect.
This spell, when cast, could turn spiritual power into a storm, carrying a tornado with immense destructive power.
For ordinary people, this was already a great spell.
But to Su Ming, it was still far from sufficient.
"His luck value is still too much."
"Ye Chen¡¯s luck core has been revealed, in simple terms, this is his cheat."
"The Divine Talisman Stone Tower, so this is it. It is said to be the summary of twelve divine talismans left by the Ancient Saints."
"The Extreme Ice Divine Talisman in his hand is one of them. Each divine talisman contains a divine technique."
"If one can fully comprehend the divine technique, they would master a domain and gain unmatched power."
"Only the one who possesses the Stone Tower can refine the divine talismans."
"However, this is the root of Ye Chen¡¯s luck. To obtain it, I can''t kill him just yet."
Su Ming calculated in his mind, remaining calm and patient.
Since he couldn¡¯t kill him with one blow, he might as well enjoy the process.
After all, Ye Chen wouldn¡¯t be able to stir up much trouble.
At this moment...
"Emperor¡¯s Son, this person is arrogant and disregards the Emperor¡¯s Son¡¯s majesty. I suggest we execute him immediately!"
The Silver Moon Holy Son stood up, his gaze fierce.
Not only him, but the people from the Silver Moon Dao Sect and the Guicang Dao Sect all stared coldly at Ye Chen.
Only a few from the Cangyun Dao Sect seemed to hesitate, as though unwilling to take action.
Despite Ye Chen offending the Infinite Demon Palace and committing grave sins, they didn¡¯t dare openly oppose it.
But after all, he was a fellow disciple, someone they had shared many experiences with, and a few of them had a good relationship with him.
Su Ming observed everything from the side.
Here, even if he killed Ye Chen, no one would dare say anything.
However, Su Ming had no intention of doing that yet.
Since he didn¡¯t plan to kill him, he might as well let Ye Chen play a little longer.
"No need."
"After all, he¡¯s also a disciple of the Cangyun Dao Sect. Though he¡¯s reckless, he came back for the safety of the sect."
"Qin Dao Master, you can deal with him as you see fit."
Su Ming spoke calmly.
Qin Canghai was stunned for a moment, then immediately showed gratitude.
The Emperor¡¯s Son¡¯s heart was truly broad.
Ye Chen had dared to be so arrogant toward the Demon Emperor¡¯s Son, yet instead of killing him outright, he was giving them the chance to handle it themselves.
Clearly, Su Ming had spared Ye Chen¡¯s life.
"Ah, ah."
"Ye Chen, compared to the Emperor¡¯s Son, you are truly too far behind."
Qin Canghai respectfully bowed to Su Ming: "Thank you, Emperor¡¯s Son."
He then turned to Ye Chen, his voice cold: "Ye Chen, do you realize your mistake?"
"I... I did nothing wrong!"
"Su Ming, if you have the ability, come and face me in a fair duel with equal cultivation!"
Ye Chen gritted his teeth, still full of anger.
His face twisted in fury.
After a series of setbacks, Ye Chen¡¯s mentality was starting to collapse.
He had always been the Child of Destiny, holding a golden finger, and had enjoyed countless victories by turning the tide of battle.
He had always believed in his own luck.
But today¡¯s battle not only caused him to lose the support of his fellow disciples but also failed to withstand even a single attack from Su Ming''s glowing gaze, which twisted Ye Chen¡¯s psyche.
Seeing this, even the people from the Cangyun Dao Sect furrowed their brows.
"Ye Chen is truly ungrateful!"
"Exactly, the Emperor¡¯s Son spared him, and he still talks back."
"Ah, I guess I misjudged him."
Several people sighed.
As Ye Chen¡¯s master, Qin Canghai could not hide his disappointment either.
When he first took Ye Chen in, he had thought him to be a young man with potential and responsibility.
Now it seemed, he was nothing but a troublemaker.
"Ye Chen you.... Deprive Ye Chen of his cultivation and throw him into the Flame Pit."
Qin Canghai issued the order, filled with anger and disappointment.
18. The Xuan Yin Dao Sect, Destroyed! Demon Emperor Sutra!
Even though the Demon Emperor''s son was merciful and showed mercy, allowing Ye Chen to survive, Qin Canghai still did not dare to let go without control.
Disabling his cultivation and sparing his life was already the best way to handle it.
Not long after, the Law Enforcement Elder of Cangyun Dao Sect arrived with his men.
Without mercy, a palm attack struck Ye Chen¡¯s abdomen.
With a sharp cry of pain, Ye Chen coughed up blood.
Earlier, if the Law Enforcement Elder had been from the same sect, he might have shown some sympathy and spared him.
But Ye Chen''s series of actions had long made them lose any pity in their hearts.
¡°This shouldn¡¯t be happening!¡±
¡°I hate it!¡±
Ye Chen struggled and shouted angrily, his eyes bloodshot, glaring at the high platform.
Especially when he saw Qin Yingluo submissively serving beside Su Ming, his heart felt like it was being torn apart.
At this moment, Su Ming spoke casually:
¡°Yingluo, come to my room tonight as usual.¡±
Qin Yingluo paused for a moment and then felt Ye Chen¡¯s gaze, realizing that Su Ming was doing this on purpose.
Even so, Qin Yingluo didn¡¯t feel disgusted but instead felt a sense of anticipation. She respectfully replied, ¡°Yes, Emperor¡¯s son.¡±
Their conversation was not intentionally lowered in volume.
This exchange fell into Ye Chen¡¯s ears and caused him indescribable pain.
"Aaaahh..."
Ye Chen let out a heartbreaking scream, spitting out a mouthful of blood, before fainting.
Afterward, Ye Chen was dragged out like a dead dog.
This farce finally came to an end.
The expressions of the crowd around relaxed.
¡°The Demon Emperor''s son is indeed a true dragon among men. His talent is extraordinary, and his strength is terrifying despite his youth.¡±
¡°Indeed! That power just now was clearly not the Primal True Demon Heart. It seems the Demon Emperor¡¯s son has more hidden skills than we thought.¡±
Everyone sighed in admiration, their eyes becoming even more respectful as they looked toward the high platform.
After this day, the elders of the Silver Moon and Guicang Dao Sect secretly swore that they would report this to the Dao Sect and climb to a higher position as soon as possible.
In the Three Thousand Great Worlds, a future Emperor has been born!
After dealing with Ye Chen, everyone returned to the great hall to drink and enjoy themselves.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
¡°Congratulations, Qin Canghai. After today, the Three Thousand Great Worlds will know of the Demon Emperor¡¯s son¡¯s great feat¡¡±
¡°By then, the Cangyun Dao Sect¡¯s fame will spread far and wide.¡±
The Silver Moon Elder smiled as he approached Qin Canghai.
Upon hearing this, Qin Canghai smiled back, his face full of joy.
At this moment, he was in sharp contrast to a few days ago.
Just a few days ago, Qin Canghai was overwhelmed with worry about the impending fall of the Cangyun Dao Sect, unable to sleep at night.
In the blink of an eye, not only was the safety of the sect guaranteed, but more importantly, they had found a powerful backing!
And it was none other than the most powerful backing of the Infinite Demon Palace!
¡°Qin Canghai is indeed fortunate to have such a good daughter.¡±
The Guicang Dao Sect elder also looked at Qin Yingluo with envy.
He looked ahead, where Qin Yingluo was gently serving Su Ming.
¡°Heh, indeed, Yingluo is fortunate,¡± Qin Canghai replied, unable to hide his pride.
In the past, even if it were the Demon Emperor¡¯s son of the Infinite Demon Palace, sending his daughter to serve him would have made Qin Canghai feel somewhat uncomfortable.
After all, Qin Yingluo was a well-known beauty in the three thousand great worlds.
But now it was different.
From the power that the Demon Emperor¡¯s son had shown, he was clearly not just a pampered second-generation with a powerful background.
In fact, in these three thousand great worlds, there were very few people who could compare to the Demon Emperor''s son in terms of talent!
To serve such a powerful figure was the greatest fortune for Qin Yingluo, something she had accumulated in many lifetimes of cultivation.
He silently hoped that Yingluo could serve the Demon Emperor¡¯s son well.
After a few rounds of drinking, the atmosphere was heating up when once again, a black vortex appeared behind Su Ming.
The cloaked Imperial Shadow Guard appeared out of nowhere.
¡°Report, Your Majesty, the Xuan Yin Dao Sect has been destroyed.¡±
The hoarse voice of the Imperial Shadow Guard echoed.
*Whoosh!*
The entire hall immediately fell silent.
Qin Canghai and the others exchanged looks, their eyes filled with obvious fear.
Had it really only been a single incense stick¡¯s worth of time?
The Xuan Yin Dao Sect was destroyed?
The Xuan Yin Dao Sect, which held the name of a ¡°Dao Sect,¡± was no less powerful than the Silver Moon and Guicang Dao Sect.
Such a strong force was so easily crushed in front of the Imperial Shadow Guard!
The Infinite Demon Palace was extremely terrifying!
In the hall, the sound of people swallowing their saliva echoed.
¡°Good work.¡±
Su Ming smiled faintly, carefully observing the Imperial Shadow Guard before him.
The guard¡¯s cloak was too concealing to distinguish their gender.
¡°You may rest now.¡±
After Su Ming¡¯s words fell, the Imperial Shadow Guard respectfully withdrew and disappeared once more.
Then, Su Ming turned his gaze to the elders of the Silver Moon and Guicang Dao Sect below:
¡°As I said before, I have protected the Cangyun Dao Sect, and I will give you some compensation¡¡±
¡°This Xuan Yin Dao Sect, you may take over.¡±
Upon hearing this, the elders of Silver Moon and Guicang were overjoyed.
¡°Thank you, Your Majesty!¡±
The two hurriedly kneeled, excitedly responding.
The Xuan Yin Dao Sect, this ¡°Dao Sect,¡± was just as rich as Cangyun.
More importantly, they didn¡¯t need to send any forces or suffer any losses!
They had struck it big on this trip!
The celebration in the hall grew even more heated.
However, Su Ming had no intention of staying for long. After briefly observing, he stood up and returned to the Cangyun palace.
.....
Inside the palace.
¡°Finally, I can check my spoils.¡±
With only Su Ming left, he began to count his gains.
¡°With this round, Ye Chen¡¯s luck value has been slashed by more than half...¡±
¡°But his luck hasn¡¯t disappeared. Instead, it¡¯s been transferred to me.¡±
Su Ming looked at the World Tree Sapling he had obtained earlier.
It had originally been dull and lifeless, but after repeatedly suppressing Ye Chen, it had started to show signs of sprouting through the absorption of luck.
¡°Not bad.¡±
¡°This World Tree Sapling has boundless potential. It needs more luck to nourish it.¡±
Su Ming was very satisfied.
Additionally, his Demonic Charm value had accumulated significantly.
Previously scattered actions, combined with the strong suppression of Ye Chen, had brought his Demonic Charm value to over ten thousand points.
¡°It¡¯s time to spend it.¡±
Su Ming opened his panel.
Host: Su Ming
Identity: Demon Emperor¡¯s son of the Infinite Demon Palace
Cultivation: Profound Cave Realm
Physique: Primal True Demon Heart, Ancestral Dragon Sacred Body (10% progress)
Cultivation Method: Demon Emperor Sutra (+)
Divine Abilities: Demon Extreme Celestial Art, Holy Demon Fist, Primal Demon Eyes (Beginner)...
Demonic Charm Value: 10,000 points
After the Demon Emperor Sutra, Su Ming noticed a small "+" sign next to it...
19. The Terrifying Demon Emperor Sutra! Immortal Silkworm Dao Technique!
[A/N: If you have the time, then consider giving this book of mine a small little review??]
He slightly moved his thoughts and clicked the (+) icon.
A prompt immediately popped up on the system panel.
[Ding! Does the host want to spend 5000 points of Demonic Charm to upgrade this cultivation method?]
"Eh... Can it be directly used to improve the cultivation method?"
Su Ming was momentarily stunned, then a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
The "Demon Emperor Sutra" is the cultivation method passed down through the generations in the Infinite Demon Palace, containing the secret to becoming an emperor.
Only the direct descendants of the emperor¡¯s bloodline are qualified to access it.
This cultivation method is vast, and in the Three Thousand Great Worlds, countless eyes covet it.
Even though Su Ming had the qualifications to cultivate it, due to his current strength and status, he could only learn the first three layers of the method.
It is said that even his father, the Infinite Demon Emperor, had only cultivated up to the ninth layer. He could never reach the supreme level due to lacking an understanding of the union between heaven and man.
As for Su Ming, even with his direct bloodline, obtaining the subsequent methods was not so easy, even with his father¡¯s position.
"My ''Demon Emperor Sutra'' has already reached the bottleneck of the third layer, but without the subsequent methods, I don¡¯t know if it can be directly improved?"
Su Ming thought for a moment and decided to give it a try.
Normally, if he wanted to get the later layers, he would have to return to the Demon Realm and make a huge contribution to have a chance to be taught.
And making such a contribution... was not an easy task.
If lucky, it might take three to five years; if unlucky, it could take hundreds of years.
Because of this, even within the Demon Realm, many direct descendants hadn¡¯t cultivated the "Demon Emperor Sutra" or had only used it as an auxiliary method.
Su Ming¡¯s thoughts turned, and his divine sense gently touched the (+) icon.
The system prompt sounded again.
[Ding! 5000 points of Demonic Charm have been consumed, and the cultivation method progress has increased.]
*Boom!*
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
Su Ming¡¯s body shook violently.
In the next moment, a terrifying force surged out from within him, instantly filling his limbs and bones.
This force was extremely violent, and within moments, it shattered Su Ming''s meridians.
But then, the residual power quickly began to heal his body.
This cycle repeated three times.
Within the palace, spiritual energy surged.
Su Ming was enveloped in a cocoon of spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy, like fine threads, wrapped around his body, changing him bit by bit.
Half an hour later,
Su Ming suddenly opened his eyes.
A golden light exploded in front of him, turning into a pillar of light that shot into the sky.
He let out a long breath and then revealed a look of joy.
"It¡¯s done!"
"My ''Demon Emperor Sutra'' has broken through to the fourth layer!"
Realizing this, Su Ming was overjoyed.
He felt the power within him.
A terrifying aura spread from his body.
Upon closer inspection, Su Ming realized that all his meridians, organs, and bones seemed to have undergone a transformation, being destroyed and then reforged for three times.
Now, his organs and bones were crystal-clear, like glass.
An almost imperceptible Dao rhyme flowed within him, and the Primal True Demon Heart, which hadn¡¯t belonged to him, seemed to reveal a faint image, with ancient texts and landscapes, full of various wonders.
"This is..."
"Starting to cultivate innate Dao techniques!?"
Su Ming¡¯s eyes shone brightly.
This upgrade made him feel like he was born anew!
With the "Demon Emperor Sutra" breaking through to the fourth layer,
Su Ming¡¯s cultivation also broke through the limitations of the Profound Cave realm and reached the threshold of the Myriad Laws realm.
Su Ming¡¯s mind stirred, and the palace suddenly became turbulent, with clouds and mist rolling.
This was the power of the Myriad Laws realm!
With a thought, mountains and rivers changed.
"Not bad."
Su Ming was very satisfied: "Now that I¡¯ve reached the Myriad Laws realm, the power of various divine abilities will be significantly improved."
"Of course, the most important thing is that the ''Demon Emperor Sutra'' has broken through to the fourth layer."
The "Demon Emperor Sutra," even in the hands of the Infinite Demon Emperor, only had nine complete layers.
Every three layers was a significant hurdle.
Even the extraordinarily talented Infinite Demon Emperor took fifty years to reach the Profound Cave realm.
And now, relying on the Demonic Charm value, Su Ming had instantly achieved this, which made him feel elated.
His gaze again fell on the (+) icon.
"The next layer upgrade requires 50,000 points of Demonic Charm."
"50,000 points?!"
"This has increased tenfold?"
Su Ming was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized this was only to be expected.
After all, such an emperor-level cultivation method would greatly increase in difficulty with each layer.
Compared to that, the tenfold increase in Demonic Charm value consumption wasn¡¯t much.
"I¡¯ll need to accumulate more."
"That¡¯s why, Ye Chen still has great use."
Su Ming smiled like a devil lusting for his prey!
The remaining 5000 points of Demonic Charm were not left behind. Instead, he turned to browse the system shop.
After a moment, Su Ming¡¯s gaze fixed, and he selected an item.
[Immortal Silkworm Dao Technique: Using spiritual energy to condense the immortal silkworm, which resides within the body, devouring vitality and disturbing the mind.
When the immortal silkworm is recalled, it can return the absorbed cultivation to the practitioner.]
This Dao technique involves condensing an immortal silkworm to reside within an ordinary person¡¯s body, absorbing their cultivation.
However, this technique has many limitations, such as the limited number of immortal silkworms that can be condensed,
and they can only be recalled when the opponent is broken down, making the process inefficient and slow.
Su Ming already had countless Dao techniques, many of which were far stronger than this one, with even more powerful effects.
However, he was still attracted to this Dao technique.
The reason was in one particular detail...
[Individuals who have the immortal silkworm residing within them can be sensed by the practitioner, making them unable to hide within a certain range.]
Upon seeing this, Su Ming¡¯s eyes brightened, and he decisively exchanged for this Dao technique.
20. The Saintesss Submission! This Man Cannot Be Defeated!
*Buzz...!*
A surge of cultivation insights poured into his mind, and these basic-level Dao techniques didn¡¯t even require the use of the Primal True Demon Heart¡¯s power.
After just a brief moment of comprehension, Su Ming had already memorized it in his heart.
After about the time it takes to brew a pot of tea, a completely spiritual and energy-concentrated celestial silkworm appeared in the palm of Su Ming¡¯s hand.
"Quite interesting."
"This immortal silkworm is harmless, able to mimic the energy of others, making it hard to detect."
"And it has no offensive power, but... it is enough for use."
Just then, a maid¡¯s voice was heard outside, announcing that Saintess Cangyun wished to see him.
"Let her in," Su Ming said with an indifferent expression.
A moment later, Qin Yingluo entered the room, stepping lightly with graceful movements.
Qin Yingluo¡¯s beauty was stunning, her features exquisite, and her appearance remarkable.
At that moment, her demeanor was elegant, and her figure swayed as she stepped into the room.
Even though she wore a loose white gown, it was clear she had a graceful figure and delicate curves.
She truly was a rare beauty.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Qin Yingluo approached and gave a slight bow.
"Mm."
Su Ming glanced at her.
Qin Yingluo seemed a bit nervous, lowering her head slightly and whispering, "Your Highness still remembers what was said yesterday?"
"What words?"
Su Ming spoke indifferently.
Qin Yingluo was momentarily speechless, and a trace of grievance flashed across her delicate face.
She had a naturally proud nature, and if it weren¡¯t for Su Ming, she would never willingly be a maid.
However, even so... asking her to say such things still caused some inner struggle.
But Su Ming had no intention of showing her any sympathy.
His cold, indifferent eyes stared at Qin Yingluo like a devil.
That gaze was calm and emotionless, devoid of warmth.
Qin Yingluo trembled inside and instantly came to her senses.
Indeed...
She was just a maid to the Prince now; what dignity could she still have?
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
[A/N: Qin Yingluo will use the ''Prince'' term towards Su Ming from now on, since she''s become a maid of him]
With that thought, Qin Yingluo slowly knelt down.
Kneeling in front of Su Ming, her clear, cold voice rang out: "I, Qin Yingluo, willingly become the Prince¡¯s maid, please show mercy."
The proud Saintess of Cangyun had completely submitted, with no other thoughts left.
Seeing this, Su Ming smiled slightly, his expression softening.
"Have you thought it through? Once you agree, there will be no turning back."
"I have thought it through."
"From today on, Yingluo will follow the Prince''s orders."
The Saintess of Cangyun raised her head slightly, her long neck like that of a swan, shining with a gentle glow.
"Get up."
Su Ming said with a faint smile.
"May I begin cultivating the techniques the Prince bestowed upon me?"
Qin Yingluo obediently walked to his side and asked softly.
"Of course."
Su Ming nodded.
"Since they are for you, then cultivate them well."
"Yes."
"Yingluo will diligently cultivate and soon reach the Profound Cave Realm, so that she can... Dual... cultivate with the Prince."
Qin Yingluo''s delicate cheek turned slightly pink, and she spoke softly.
When she said the last two words, her eyes sparkled with shyness.
Anyone who saw this would feel heartbroken.
The proud and cold Saintess of Cangyun, a beauty famous across the three realms, now had such a shy and intimate appearance.
Su Ming couldn''t help but be moved inside.
He gently lifted her chin, quickly regained his composure, and smiled, "I look forward to it."
The two chatted for a while, and suddenly Su Ming thought of something.
"By the way, there is one more thing I need you to do..."
Inside the palace, Su Ming carefully instructed Qin Yingluo.
As the instructions grew, Qin Yingluo¡¯s lips slightly parted, her eyes filled with surprise and fear, and she nodded repeatedly.
A few minutes later, Qin Yingluo exited the palace.
Her steps were hurried, and as she walked down the corridor, she couldn¡¯t help but look back at the palace.
Remembering Su Ming¡¯s earlier instructions, a shiver ran through her heart, but her resolve grew even stronger.
Indeed...
This man, no matter what happens, must never be made an enemy!
...
Meanwhile, in the back mountain of the Cangyun Dao Sect.
There was a natural fire cave here, containing earth fire, an ideal place for confinement,
used by the Cangyun Dao Sect to imprison those who had made mistakes.
In the hot, scalding prison cave, Ye Chen sat on the ground, his eyes vacant.
He no longer had the arrogance from before.
His face was pale, his hair disheveled, and he looked like a madman.
"Why is this happening..."
Ye Chen muttered, his voice filled with resentment and confusion.
This shouldn¡¯t be happening!
He shouldn¡¯t be in this place!
He was the son of destiny, born humble yet carrying great fortune, otherwise, how could he be aided by the Divine Talisman Stone Tower?
Throughout his cultivation journey, Ye Chen had faced numerous setbacks and challenges.
But no matter how powerful his opponents, he had always triumphed in the end!
Each time he stomped on the faces of evil beings, Ye Chen appeared righteous on the surface, but inside, he was immensely pleased.
This was the life that suited him best.
But this time...
He recalled the epic divine light in Su Ming¡¯s forehead.
Looking down from a high position, without the slightest trace of compassion, like a supreme being.
In that moment, Ye Chen¡¯s heart trembled, and his ambitious mindset shifted subtly.
"Su Ming..."
Ye Chen¡¯s voice was filled with venom, wishing he could tear Su Ming apart.
If it weren''t for him, Ye Chen would have already gained fame, harvested prestige, and become someone superior.
Give him three more years... just three more years.
Ye Chen had enough confidence to rival Su Ming¡¯s strength!
By then, what would the Infinite Demon Palace be? With his own strength, he could overthrow it!
But now... Ye Chen looked at his ruined state.
His meridians were crippled, and his hands and feet were chained with Fire Jade Chains.
These chains could seal spiritual power, preventing him from exerting any strength.
Even in his prime, breaking free would have been a challenge, let alone now when he was half-disabled.
"Then there¡¯s the Cangyun Dao Sect..."
"Qin Canghai!"
"Qin Yingluo!!"
He muttered the names one by one, his voice full of bone-chilling murderous intent.
These people should have been on his side!
But now, they had all become sycophantic, helping the evil, and were all worthy of death!
"Wait until I get out, wait until my cultivation improves, then you all will die!!"
21. Su Ming鈥檚 Heaven-Defying Move! You Did Well!
Ye Chen¡¯s tone was filled with resentment.
He was once a proud son of heaven, blessed by fate, indeed extraordinary.
Although he encountered many setbacks on the surface during his cultivation journey, he always managed to turn danger into safety and had never truly suffered a devastating blow.
Therefore, he had always maintained a positive and optimistic attitude.
But this time, the blow came suddenly and heavily, his strength was crushed, his friends and family scattered.
It was too much for Ye Chen to bear, and even his personality began to distort.
"The most important thing now is to find a way to get out of here..."
Ye Chen scanned his surroundings.
The destruction of the inner residence was not a fatal blow to him.
After all, as long as he had the Divine Talisman Stone Tower and even a little bit of spiritual energy, he could use the tower''s mysterious functions to recover from his injuries.
The problem was¡ he was now bound by the Fire Jade Chains and couldn''t mobilize any spiritual energy at all.
"Am I really destined to be trapped here?"
Ye Chen''s expression flickered, shifting unpredictably.
At that moment, the sound of light footsteps rang out, making Ye Chen''s eyes narrow as he quickly turned his head.
In the corner, a thin figure cautiously peeked in.
"Y-Young Master?"
It was a girl around fourteen or fifteen years old, plain in appearance, her eyes red from crying, as she hurriedly stepped inside.
"Ling''er?"
Ye Chen was stunned.
He recognized this girl.
Back when Ye Chen left home and was taken into Cangyun Dao Sect, he wasn¡¯t alone¡ªhe had brought along a maid named Ye Ling.
Ye Ling was from the main Ye family and had followed Ye Chen since childhood.
She had always harbored feelings for him and remained unwaveringly loyal.
Ye Chen naturally understood her thoughts, and their relationship had been quite good.
But after entering the dao sect and broadening his horizons, especially after meeting a stunning beauty like Qin Yingluo from Cangyun, his feelings changed, and he gradually distanced himself from Ye Ling.
The last time they met, Ye Chen had even called her "little sister" to comfort her.
If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.
Ye Chen, filled with anger before, had actually forgotten that he still had someone on his side within Cangyun Dao Sect.
"Ling''er!"
"What are you doing here?"
Ye Chen was both surprised and delighted.
Ye Ling was frail, covered in sweat, clearly struggling to resist the scorching power of the Flame Abyss.
"Young Master, you''ve suffered so much."
Seeing Ye Chen¡¯s condition, Ye Ling¡¯s eyes reddened even more. "I will help you now."
She stumbled forward, but the moment she touched the Fire Jade Chains, she was burned by the scorching fire energy and cried out in pain.
"These Fire Jade Chains carry the power of hell fire. Your cultivation is too low, you can''t touch them."
Ye Chen quickly warned.
"Th-Then what should we do?"
Ye Ling looked flustered.
"There is a way."
Hope flashed in Ye Chen''s eyes. "I need something to replenish my spiritual energy¡ªpills, spiritual herbs, anything will do."
"As long as I can get even a sliver of spiritual energy, I can break free from these chains and restore my cultivation!"
"Something to replenish spiritual energy..."
Ye Ling''s face showed hesitation.
She was just a maid. Though she had been cultivating, she had not yet reached the Divine Sea Realm.
She held no real status in Cangyun Dao Sect.
Back when Ye Chen was powerful, people respected her out of deference to him.
But now¡ Ye Chen realized this as well, his expression darkening.
Even though Ye Ling was loyal to him, she was simply too weak.
Elixirs and spiritual herbs for replenishing energy varied in quality, but even the lowest grade ones were beyond Ye Ling¡¯s reach.
Damn it!
If it were before, even if Ye Ling begged for them, the elders of Cangyun Dao Sect would have smiled and willingly given them to her without hesitation.
But now, trapped in this predicament, there was no way anyone would help him for free.
"I have an idea."
Ye Chen¡¯s face shifted several times before he gritted his teeth and made a decision. "I¡¯ll open my mouth, and you pull out one of my front teeth."
Although confused, Ye Ling followed his instructions.
"Ahh.."
Ye Chen screamed but soon calmed down.
Ye Ling successfully plucked one of his front teeth, but when she closely examined it,
"A ring?"
Ye Ling looked at the tiny object in her hand, it was an incredibly small ring.
"Hmph, when Cangyun Dao Sect imprisoned me, they searched me, but they didn¡¯t realize that my jade ring was hidden here."
Ye Chen looked pleased with himself before continuing, "This ring stores my belongings. Take it to Elder Yu from the Medicine Hall. You must trade it for spiritual energy elixirs!"
Ye Chen''s expression was solemn.
This was his only hope.
Inside the jade ring was everything Ye Chen had gathered from his adventures, an astonishing fortune.
Unfortunately, without spiritual energy, he couldn''t activate the ring or retrieve anything from it.
Otherwise, why would he need to rely on others for elixirs?
But it didn¡¯t matter. As long as he could recover his strength and escape this place, any price was worth it.
"Besides, my Divine Talisman Stone Tower is hidden inside my body."
"As long as it remains safe, everything else is worth sacrificing!"
Despite telling himself this, Ye Chen¡¯s expression still revealed a trace of pain.
Though the ring didn¡¯t contain the Divine Talisman Stone Tower, it did have¡ a Divine Talisman!
The Extreme Ice Talisman!
He had only refined thirty percent of this Talisman¡¯s power.
Even so, the portion he could use was already terrifyingly strong, unstoppable by anyone.
But since he hadn¡¯t fully refined it, he couldn¡¯t store it inside the stone tower.
"Fortunately, only those who possess the Divine Talisman Stone Tower can use this Extreme Ice Talisman."
"Even if that elder gets it, it¡¯ll be useless to him."
"One day, I will personally take it back!"
Ye Chen gritted his teeth.
"Young Master, don¡¯t worry! No matter what it takes, I will save you!"
Under Ye Chen¡¯s repeated instructions, Ye Ling''s eyes filled with determination.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she took one last deep look at Ye Chen before turning and leaving the Flame Abyss.
....
....
One incense stick later.
Su Ming was playing with the ring in his hand, looking down at the kneeling Ye Ling, a faint smile on his lips.
"You did well."
"Thank you, Emperor''s Son."
"This is yours now."
Su Ming casually tossed over a jade bottle.
22. The Demon Emperor鈥檚 Intentions! Extreme Ice Divine Talisman!
Ye Ling glanced at it, and his face suddenly lit up with joy.
Inside this bottle was the Heaven Piercing Primordial Pill, one of the earliest treasures Su Ming had obtained.
Nine pills, glowing with celestial light, lay quietly in the jade bottle. Just swallowing one was enough.
The immense spiritual energy contained within could allow a martial artist at the Divine Sea Realm to instantly break through their bottleneck.
Such an elixir was nothing special to Su Ming, but to Ye Ling, it was invaluable.
Ye Ling''s background was something Su Ming had learned from Qin Yingluo.
In fact, Su Ming had no real intention of taking Ye Chen¡¯s life.
Ye Chen had been trapped in the Fire Jade Chains all this time, and keeping him there did Su Ming no good.
So, Su Ming planned to let Ye Chen escape as soon as possible.
Now, looking at Ye Chen, he seemed like a walking treasure beast.
He carried his own fate, with a talent for finding treasures.
Letting him go sooner meant he could start searching for treasures sooner, which was beneficial to Su Ming.
After some inquiries, Su Ming noticed the maidservant following Ye Chen, Ye Ling and had her observed closely for some time.
Then, Su Ming made arrangements, letting Ye Ling handle the matter.
A woman like Ye Ling was not uncommon beside a child of fate.
In many stories, they often existed merely as supporting characters.
If Ye Chen had stayed in his remote hometown, Ye Ling would have been a gentle, loyal woman to him.
But he had brought her out.
As Ye Chen¡¯s horizons and ambitions expanded, even unintentionally, he gradually neglected Ye Ling.
From what Su Ming knew, Ye Ling was not doing well in the Cangyun Dao Sect.
Although she was under Ye Chen¡¯s name, so no one dared to bully her, her presence was weak, and her cultivation talent was mediocre.
She could only watch as the young master she had admired shone brighter and brighter, becoming the center of attention, while she remained in place, an ordinary person.
The vast difference created a change in Ye Ling¡¯s personality.
One must never underestimate a woman¡¯s jealousy.
Especially when Ye Chen visited Qin Yingluo every day, ignoring her completely.
Ye Ling¡¯s once gentle nature had already started to crumble.
And this... was exactly what Su Ming needed.
The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
"Also, these are spiritual energy pills for Ye Chen."
Su Ming handed her another jade bottle.
Ye Ling was puzzled, "Demon Emperor¡¯s son, are you really letting Ye Chen go?"
"Of course."
"Keeping him here does me no good. Isn¡¯t it better to let him leave sooner?"
Su Ming spoke indifferently.
"This..."
Ye Ling hesitated.
Deep in her heart, there was still some lingering emotion for Ye Chen.
But it was no longer pure, it was mixed with resentment and hostility.
It was Ye Chen who had taken her out of that remote town, the two of them relying on each other.
Yet in the end, Ye Chen soared high alone, leaving her behind.
At first, Ye Ling had been happy about her young master¡¯s growing fame.
But gradually, more and more women surrounded Ye Chen.
Especially when he frequently courted the beauties of Cangyun, Ye Ling¡¯s mindset completely changed.
She had originally thought that Su Ming came to deal with Ye Chen.
But now, things seemed different...
However, she quickly shook her head.
Whatever the Demon Emperor¡¯s son was planning, it had nothing to do with her.
What mattered was that she had obtained spiritual energy elixirs.
With their power, she could break through to the Divine Sea Realm and beyond.
Following Ye Chen for years, giving her all, yet receiving nothing in return.
And now, with just one decision, she had obtained the Heaven Piercing Primordial Pill.
Only Ye Ling herself could understand the bitterness of it all.
Then, she bowed and left the hall.
Tap, tap...
Qin Yingluo walked out from the side.
"Ye Ling is a pitiful woman too."
Qin Yingluo sighed.
"Pitiful people often have something hateful about them."
"Ye Chen took her out and gave her the chance to see the world, but at the same time, he was the one who ruined her."
"If she had stayed in that small town, living a simple life, she wouldn''t be suffering like this now."
Su Ming spoke calmly.
"Prince, I don¡¯t understand. Why don¡¯t you just kill Ye Chen directly?"
Qin Yingluo nodded in agreement, then asked.
This had always puzzled her.
She knew that prince paid special attention to Ye Chen.
The fact that Su Ming had inquired about Ye Chen on his very first day in the Cangyun Dao Sect was proof enough.
What was strange was that Ye Chen had repeatedly disrespected him, yet Su Ming never showed any killing intent.
If it was because Su Ming was benevolent and didn¡¯t care about Ye Chen¡¯s provocations...
Although Qin Yingluo had not known him for long, she understood that if someone truly threatened the prince, he would never show mercy.
"Ye Chen will die sooner or later, but not now."
Su Ming said, "I still have a game to play with him."
He did not elaborate further.
On the vague and mysterious topic of fate, Qin Yingluo naturally wouldn¡¯t understand.
Hearing this, Qin Yingluo wisely stopped asking questions.
No matter what, she had already decided to follow Su Ming. Nothing else mattered.
After casually brushing off Qin Yingluo, Su Ming turned his gaze to the jade ring in his hand.
"Now, let¡¯s see how many treasures our child of fate has accumulated."
Infusing his spiritual energy, Su Ming¡¯s consciousness immediately sank into the jade ring.
Inside, there was a vast mustard-seed space.
Looking around, various items were piled together.
"As expected of a child of fate!"
"The amount of treasures stored here is astonishing!"
Su Ming was surprised.
On the left, mountains of spiritual pills and elixirs were piled up, some jade bottles appearing ancient.
Clearly, they didn¡¯t belong to this era, likely scavenged from some ruins.
On the right, countless magical artifacts shimmered with divine light, some of them rare and ancient treasures.
In front, countless ancient texts and jade slips were stacked, though none of the techniques seemed particularly high-grade.
Thinking about it, it made sense. Ye Chen had surely kept the best ones for himself.
But what truly caught Su Ming¡¯s attention was a jade talisman floating in the center of the ring.
The talisman was as white as snow, square-shaped, only the size of a palm.
It emitted no spiritual energy, yet it hovered and rotated slowly.
Su Ming recognized it at a glance.
The Extreme Ice Divine Talisman!
"So Ye Chen really couldn¡¯t fully refine it and left it in the jade ring."
Su Ming smiled in satisfaction.
This was exactly what he wanted.
The Extreme Ice Divine Talisman was one of the Twelve Divine Talismans, possessing unfathomable power.
Leaving such a treasure in Ye Chen¡¯s hands would be a complete waste.
"Let¡¯s give it a try."
With a thought, Su Ming¡¯s divine sense touched the jade talisman.
In an instant, an unexpected change started occur...
23. Primal Demon Eyes! The Demon Emperor鈥檚 Precise Control!
Boom...!
Just as Su Ming''s consciousness lightly touched the jade talisman, an intense icy aura suddenly erupted.
The Extreme Ice Divine Talisman, which had been slowly rotating, instantly revealed its ferocity.
A piercing white frost expanded violently.
Wherever it spread, jade bottles and artifacts on the ground shattered instantly under the frost¡¯s breath.
This frost power was incredibly strong, capable of freezing flesh in an instant, erasing souls, and even freezing consciousness itself.
"Its power is truly astonishing."
Su Ming¡¯s eyes tightened, but this only fueled his fighting spirit.
A treasure like this was worth conquering!
"Primal Demon Eyes."
Su Ming¡¯s eyes opened and closed, revealing golden pupils.
An explosive surge of spiritual power burst forth, and a wave of pure dragon power slammed into the Extreme Ice Divine Talisman.
The talisman was immediately suppressed, and the surrounding frost momentarily stagnated.
Then, Su Ming¡¯s hands moved rapidly, weaving spiritual energy like silk, forming a massive cocoon around the talisman.
He unleashed divine abilities one after another.
Holy Demon Divine Fist...
Ancestral Dragon Power...
Demon Extreme Celestial Art...
Abyssal Heaven Finger...
Each technique pressed down upon the talisman.
At first, the talisman struggled violently, continuously releasing frost in an attempt to escape.
But gradually, its resistance weakened.
Until finally, Su Ming¡¯s hand reached out, and a colossal spiritual energy hand came crashing down.
In an instant, the talisman dimmed.
No longer emitting extra frost energy, it obediently settled in Su Ming¡¯s palm.
"Good stuff."
Su Ming was very satisfied.
This Extreme Ice Divine Talisman, clearly, Ye Chen had yet to fully refine it, already possessed such terrifying power.
If fully refined for his own use, just the strength of this treasure alone...
The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Su Ming would have enough power to rival an expert of the Nether Sea Realm.
[Detected a Destiny Artifact! Artifact refinement possible using Demonic Charm Points]
"Hmm?"
Su Ming was surprised.
He could refine it using Demonic Charm Points?
[This item is linked to the destiny of the Fate''s Chosen, thus it can be refined using Demonic Charm Points.]
[1,000 Demonic Charm Points can refine one-tenth of it.]
"That¡¯s a bit expensive."
Su Ming glanced at his remaining 4,000 Demonic Charm Points, shook his head, but still said, "Refine it."
*Buzz...!*
A white glow wrapped around the Extreme Ice Divine Talisman.
The imprint left by Ye Chen inside it shattered instantly, replaced by Su Ming¡¯s will.
With a flick of his hand, the Extreme Ice Divine Talisman spun into his palm.
Su Ming closed his eyes and felt its immense power.
But now, it belonged to him...
The corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
Ye Chen, oh Ye Chen, I¡¯ll need you to keep gathering more treasures like this for me.
Suddenly, Su Ming seemed to sense something, his gaze shifting to the side.
His eyes appeared to pierce through walls and mountains, locking onto a distant point.
He sensed that his Immortal Silkworm had been devoured...
......
Inside the Flame Cavern.
"This is actually the Heaven Piercing Primordial Pill!"
"The spiritual energy contained within it is incredibly rich, making it the perfect aid for my current situation."
Ye Chen looked at the pill Ling''er had brought him, his face filled with joy.
He had initially thought Ling''er would only manage to obtain a seventh or eighth-grade pill at best, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a Heaven Piercing Primordial Pill!
"Ling''er, this time, it¡¯s all thanks to you!"
He eagerly opened his mouth, impatient to swallow the pill.
Before him, Ye Ling held the pill, but her expression froze slightly.
She lowered her head slightly, her scattered bangs covering her expression, while beneath her hair lay an unreadable look.
"Ling''er, what are you doing? Hurry up and give it to me!"
Ye Chen grew anxious.
His chance to escape was right in front of him... Why was Ye Ling hesitating?
"Young Master..."
"If you escape, what do you wish to do first?"
Ye Ling finally spoke, her face carrying a trace of expectation as she looked up.
"Hmm?"
"Of course, the first thing is to leave here and find a place to recover."
Ye Chen frowned, a little impatient.
"I am seriously injured, but it¡¯s nothing too severe..."
"As long as I have some time, I¡¯ll fully recover and even break through to a higher level!"
He was full of confidence.
With his talent and strength, rapid progress was only a matter of time.
Though he had suffered great losses this time, with a few fortuitous encounters, he could make up for everything.
"Young Master, take Ling''er with you."
Ye Ling didn¡¯t hear the answer she wanted and pressed further.
Her eyes flickered, filled with hope.
"Take you with me?"
Ye Chen furrowed his brows, feeling a hint of annoyance.
This little maid, why was she talking so much?
At this moment, Ye Chen, having endured days of captivity and suffering, was emotionally unstable and easily irritated.
If Ye Ling weren¡¯t holding the pill he needed, he might have already scolded her.
"Ling''er, you see my current situation, I¡¯m struggling just to escape on my own, bringing someone else along is impossible."
Ye Chen pondered for a moment and said.
"But don¡¯t worry, just stay here at Cangyun Dao Sect, and one day, I will return!"
He forced a reassuring smile, trying to use words to pacify his little maid.
He knew she had been obedient since childhood and was easy to coax.
This time should be no different.
Ye Ling¡¯s eyes dimmed.
Ye Chen didn¡¯t notice that her expression had turned colder, and she remained silent.
She extended her hand, shoving the pill into Ye Chen¡¯s grasp.
The Heaven Piercing Primordial Pill melted upon entering his mouth.
Ye Chen immediately felt a surge of spiritual energy pouring into his dried-up inner palace.
Within, the Divine Talisman Stone Tower shone brightly as if a long-droughted land had finally received rain.
The next moment, his damaged inner palace began recovering at a visible rate.
*Boom*
With a loud bang, Ye Chen broke free from his shackles.
"I¡¯m finally... out!"
Ye Chen was ecstatic, his face twisting with excitement.
"Su Ming, just wait, your biggest mistake was not killing me!"
"It won¡¯t be long before I return!"
"And when I do, it will be your end!"
25. Yuhua Immortal Sect! Yellow Spring Diagram! Fang Yuhan!
Among the gathered crowd, there was a man with a scar on his face, his expression dark enough to drip water.
Especially when he heard someone mention something about a "junior," his heart surged with killing intent.
He was none other than Ye Chen in disguise.
"Damn Su Ming!"
Ye Chen was burning with rage.
In just a few days, his injuries had completely healed.
At this moment, Ye Chen used a special secret technique to alter his appearance.
Even those with higher cultivation than him would find it difficult to see through his disguise.
Ye Chen looked up at the Imperial Chariot speeding above, his face twisted with fury.
Su Ming!
Enjoy your moment of glory for now! One day, I will trample you beneath my feet!
"My Divine Talisman Stone Tower has sensed another divine talisman''s location..."
"Once I collect enough divine talismans, killing you will be as easy as crushing an ant!"
Ye Chen spat fiercely and turned to leave.
In midair, inside the demon qilin chariot, Su Ming seemed to sense something. He glanced outside through the window.
Ye Chen was probably furious to the point of madness.
I spared your life out of goodwill. Don''t let me down.
"Might as well use this time to look for some treasures."
Su Ming''s chariot sped forward like a lightning bolt.
Suddenly, a system notification sounded in his ears.
[Luck fluctuation detected. A Child of Luck is currently growing.]
"Hmm?"
Su Ming was momentarily stunned.
Another Child of Luck?
"Who is it?"
The system interface flashed.
[Child of Luck: Fang Yuhan]
[Treasures: Steelfiend Pestle, Golden Guardian, Dragon Profound Killing Technique]
[Luck Value: 600 points]
[When Luck Value drops below 100 points, the Child of Luck status will be lost.]
[Current Kill Reward: None.]
Su Ming was speechless.
He could randomly encounter a Child of Luck just by walking around?
"Fang Yuhan, huh? Doesn''t sound like someone I''ve offended. Shouldn''t be a problem, right?"
Su Ming pondered.
[System Prompt: The host possesses a Demon Lord''s Aura and will automatically be in opposition to the Children of Luck.]
Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.
"..."
Su Ming shrugged.
Well, what can I say? I am a Demon Lord, after all.
He had no complaints about this setting. The more Children of Luck, the better.
It didn''t matter. After all, these Children of Luck were just walking treasure chests and sources of wealth.
Su Ming was just waiting for them to deliver their Luck Points and Demonic Charm Points.
"Where is that place?"
Su Ming pointed at the mountain range indicated by the system.
Qin Yingluo obediently looked and said, "That seems to be the Yuhua Immortal Sect''s territory."
"Yuhua Immortal Sect?"
Su Ming searched his memory but found the name unfamiliar.
Qin Yingluo quickly explained, "It is not a Dao Sect, so it is normal for the prince not to know."
"However, this Yuhua Immortal Sect is quite famous..."
"Although it is not on the same level as a Dao Sect, it is said to have been founded on the legacy of a Primordial Great Emperor."
"Interesting."
Su Ming nodded.
The Three Thousand Great Worlds were vast beyond measure, so it was natural that Dao Sects were not the only major powers.
Many long-lived families remained hidden, and ancient legacies had been passed down to the present.
If, as Qin Yingluo said, the Yuhua Immortal Sect was built on an Emperor¡¯s legacy, then it must have something worth looking at.
However, with the passage of time and the fall of one generation after another, it was now just an ordinary sect.
"A sect with such an inheritance is indeed a good place for a Child of Luck to grow."
Su Ming''s thoughts turned, and he gave an order.
"Send word. We will settle in the Yuhua Immortal Sect."
*Rumble*
The demon qilin chariot changed direction. Accompanied by the qilins'' roars, the convoy moved toward the Yuhua Immortal Sect''s territory.
Su Ming''s chariot entered the Yuhua Immortal Sect.
In an instant, the entire sect was in an uproar!
This was the chariot of the Infinite Demon Palace!
The most powerful overlord in the Three Thousand Great Worlds!
Normally, with the Yuhua Immortal Sect''s foundation and strength, they had no chance of interacting with such an illustrious figure.
Forget about the Demon Emperor¡¯s Son, even an ordinary Dao Sect disciple would be far beyond their reach.
But now... the Demon Emperor¡¯s Son had personally arrived?
And just a few days ago, the destruction of the Xuanyin Dao Sect was caused by this very Demon Emperor¡¯s Son.
This had made all the Dao Sects and normal sects in the Three Thousand Great Worlds more fearful and reverent toward Su Ming.
A single misstep could lead to total annihilation!
Immediately, the entire sect was mobilized. Countless figures moved at high speed, cleaning the mountains until not a speck of dust remained.
When Su Ming¡¯s chariot finally descended...
On the mountaintop, the sect master and the elders had already lined up respectfully to welcome him.
Su Ming calmly took residence in the sect.
Meanwhile, on one of the nine peaks of the Yuhua Immortal Sect, Divine Transformation Peak...
A young man was cultivating, his spiritual energy surging wildly, clearly forcing a breakthrough.
This method was extremely dangerous, one wrong move, and his body could collapse.
Seeing that he was on the verge of losing control of the violent energy...
*Boom!Boom!*
A thunderous heartbeat echoed, making the young man''s heart pound faster.
With each beat, the spiritual energy was compressed further until it was completely absorbed.
*Buzz...!*
The young man¡¯s entire aura condensed into one.
"I finally succeeded!"
He opened his eyes with excitement. "I''ve completely refined the Innate Formless Dragon Tiger Pill!"
His name was Fang Yuhan, born into a humble background as a servant of the Divine Marquis Fang family in the Great Qian Dynasty.
By chance, he received a relic from a dying man.
Not only did he obtain the rumored treasure of the ancient Great Emperor, the Yellow Spring Emperor¡¯s "Yellow Spring Diagram", he also unlocked his meridians and refined the Innate Formless Dragon Tiger Pill.
Using these, he strengthened his body and stepped into the cultivation world, entering the Yuhua Immortal Sect alongside his young mistress.
Once in the sect, Fang Yuhan began showcasing his talent.
By refining spiritual pills to temper his body, he became an unbeatable fighter.
He quickly gathered other servants under his wing, securing a position that allowed him to focus on cultivation.
Later, his young mistress, Fang Qingxue, noticed his talent and recommended him to the sect.
Now, although Fang Yuhan was just an ordinary disciple, he had officially become part of the Yuhua Immortal Sect.
"At this rate of cultivation, becoming a Great Emperor is no longer just a dream."
Fang Yuhan¡¯s expression was resolute.
At that moment, in the sky, the demon qilins roared as they entered the sect.
Fang Yuhan was startled, hearing the uproar outside.
"The Demon Emperor¡¯s Son of Infinite Demon Palace has entered the sect! Hurry and pay respects!"
"The sect master has ordered all true disciples to be allowed near for an audience..."
"Other disciples must stay away and not offend the Emperor¡¯s Son!"
