Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Memories unsealing? The Great Dao Azure Emperor Scripture?

Startled, Su Han looked at Lu Yunxian incredulously. Could it be that she, like me, has also received the inheritance of some supreme being?

”Fairy Sister Yun Xian, what did you see? What did you feel?”

Su Han eagerly pressed on with his questions, but Lu Yunxian’s experience was different from his. Her memories had simply been unsealed, revealing this cultivation technique. There was no Prison Divine Palace, and she hadn’t met anyone.

”Fairy Sister Yun Xian, try cultivating it and see what happens.”

Even though I don’t know what’s going on, this probably isn’t a bad thing, Su Han thought.

Lu Yunxian nodded. She then switched her cultivation technique, beginning to practice the Great Dao Azure Emperor Scripture. Instantly, her body radiated a pure and sacred azure light, as if it were the most primordial azure hue in existence.

At the same time, her Phenomenon manifested once more—the Chaos Green Lotus swayed gracefully, its beauty peerless.

The Chaos Green Lotus Phenomenon took root within the Spirit Marrow Pool, and to Su Han’s shock, it began to directly absorb the spiritual marrow. To put this in perspective, even Su Han’s Black Hole Phenomenon could only devour the power of other phenomena, not other forms of energy.

Furthermore, the Chaos Green Lotus Phenomenon absorbed at a terrifying speed. Previously, Lu Yunxian had only absorbed a third of the pool in an entire month. Now, in the blink of an eye, the remaining two-thirds were consumed entirely.

Yet, the Chaos Green Lotus Phenomenon seemed unsatisfied. It began to rapidly absorb the spiritual liquid outside the pool like a starving ghost that hadn’t eaten in days, greedily devouring every last drop.

After a mere quarter of an hour, Su Han was dumbfounded. The Chaos Green Lotus Phenomenon had drained the entire intermediate-grade Spirit Vein, leaving it completely empty. Not a single drop of spiritual liquid remained.

This was the foundation of the Seven Stars Sect! An intermediate-grade Spirit Vein contained a tremendous amount of spiritual energy. Even a martial artist in the Supreme Realm would struggle to absorb it all, yet Lu Yunxian had done so in just a quarter of an hour.

This... This is simply inconceivable!

”What happened?”

The commotion instantly alerted Liu Rumei and Leiming. They appeared in a flash, staring dumbfounded at the desiccated Spirit Vein, feeling their very souls tremble.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

At that moment, Lu Yunxian’s aura skyrocketed.

Fourth Layer of the Phenomenon Realm!

Fifth Layer of the Phenomenon Realm!

...

Ninth Layer of the Phenomenon Realm!

In an instant, Lu Yunxian reached the Ninth Layer of the Phenomenon Realm. But that wasn’t the end. Her aura continued to climb, and she was even on the verge of breaking through to the Physique Realm.

SWOOSH!

A dazzling, blinding azure light erupted from Lu Yunxian, transforming the entire underground space into an azure world. A surging tide of vitality washed over everyone, making them feel warm as their Qi-Blood flourished.

A figure shrouded in azure light emerged from the Chaos Green Lotus Phenomenon. He appeared to be a man dressed in azure robes, standing with his hands clasped behind his back. As he walked out step by step, his eyes reflected scenes of the universe being born and reborn.

The Chaos Green Lotus transformed into a lotus platform beneath his feet. He stood there silently, yet he seemed to have merged with heaven, earth, and nature itself. I am the Dao!

Although the man emanated no powerful pressure, he inspired an irresistible urge to bow down in reverence, as if in the presence of a god.

Liu Rumei and Leiming knelt, not out of compulsion, but from a sincere piety that came from deep within their hearts. As the azure light permeated the area, the man in azure robes stood with his hands behind his back. Liu Rumei and Leiming couldn’t help but kowtow, compelled by an urge from the depths of their souls. The atmosphere became sacred and serene, solemn and reverent, like a holy pilgrimage, feeling entirely natural.

This is... a god!

Su Han did not kneel. His Physique manifested on its own, taking the form of a figure condensed from countless Black Netherworld Flowers and wearing the Ghostly Face Mask. Ten phantasmal black holes materialized around him as his Demonic Qi billowed, suppressing all of creation.

He was a demon, an enemy of the gods; naturally, he would not kneel to one.

”Cruel Demon Emperor!”

At that moment, the azure-robed man transformed from the Chaos Green Lotus sensed Su Han’s Physique. He looked over, his gaze seeming to pierce through time, space, and the endless void to meet Su Han’s.

”A lone lotus under the ageless azure sky, leaving but a sigh in the void. Qing Emperor, I never expected to meet you here!” Su Han’s Physique spoke of its own accord. The eyes beneath the Ghostly Face Mask seemed to pierce the Nine Heavens and ten earthly realms, its voice echoing across the endless river of time.

”Alas.”

The Qing Emperor sighed. He said no more, turning to glance at Lu Yunxian before the azure light receded and his figure gradually dissipated.

Su Han’s Physique also vanished, and the Spirit Marrow Pool returned to tranquility.

However, Lu Yunxian’s strength had increased immensely. She had unexpectedly reached the First Layer of the Physique Realm, the same as Su Han.

The Qing Emperor? That was definitely not a Great Emperor Realm powerhouse, but a supreme being capable of conversing with the Cruel Demon Emperor. But how could he be inside Fairy Sister Yun Xian’s body? Although powerhouses of the Great Emperor Realm can also be called emperors, the title ’Qing Emperor’ obviously holds extraordinary significance. The Cruel Demon Emperor imprisoned three thousand gods and demons; ordinary gods and demons were beneath his notice, let alone mere mortal martial artists of the Great Emperor Realm. Judging from that cryptic conversation, this Qing Emperor is likely an existence on the same level as the Cruel Demon Emperor. Such a figure is both immensely powerful and terrifying.

Fairy Sister Yun Xian was an orphan my mother found and adopted. Her origins have always been a mystery. Now it seems she is by no means ordinary and might even be connected to the Qing Emperor.

Gazing at Lu Yunxian, Su Han’s mind was in turmoil. He realized that, for all the mystery, the pros of this situation outweighed the cons. Lu Yunxian’s Origin Wound had always been her greatest threat, and perhaps the Green Emperor’s Inheritance could solve this problem.

”Was that... a divine being just now?”

Liu Rumei and Leiming finally came to their senses and rose from the ground, their eyes still filled with boundless shock.

”I’ve actually broken through to the Physique Realm!” Lu Yunxian cried out as she recovered, covering her mouth in disbelief at her own transformation.

The events that had just transpired were too incredible. All four of them were reeling from the shock, unable to calm their minds. Liu Rumei’s expression shifted, and finally, she gritted her teeth, appearing to have made a difficult decision.

”Yun Xian, with your innate talent, staying in the Seven Stars Sect is a true waste of your potential. I want to take you to the Ancient Liu Family. There, you can not only heal your Origin Wound, but your talent can also be developed to its fullest.”

”The Ancient Liu Family?” Leiming’s jaw dropped in astonishment at Liu Rumei’s words. Su Han and Lu Yunxian, however, were merely confused, not understanding the significance of the name.

”The Ancient Liu Family is one of the Immortal Forces founded by a Great Emperor Realm powerhouse,” Leiming explained, his voice filled with awe. ”It has countless sages and is even watched over by Great Emperor Realm experts, making it one of the absolute top-tier powers. Elder Liu herself is from the Ancient Liu Family!”

His words shocked Su Han and Lu Yunxian even more.

An Immortal Force... that’s far more powerful than the Tian Luo Net Holy Land. To think Elder Liu is actually taking Lu Yunxian to the Ancient Liu Family!
