The divine beast recognized its master, and the dragon girl, destined to kill him, went to the spiri

At this time, within the Three Realms

The once clear sky was suddenly shrouded in darkness, the hazy light vanished abruptly, and a biting wind swept across the low sky. Birds and beasts that had been circling around cried out as they plummeted to the ground. Before their wings even touched the ground, they were corroded into wisps of black ash by an invisible, eerie aura.

"It's eerie energy! The eerie energy is coming again! No!"

"No, impossible! This is impossible!"

"Even the Demon Emperor's sacrifice couldn't save us? Heaven above, please leave us ordinary spiritual cultivators a way to survive! We just want to live!"

In an instant, the already dilapidated surroundings were transformed into a living hell once again, with broken walls and ruins trembling under the influence of eerie energy.

People scattered in all directions, their spiritual power utterly powerless against the eerie aura, and one-sided slaughter ensued once again.

In the sky, a figure stood in mid-air, his red robes resembling burnt-out blood flames. As the hem of his robes billowed with eerie energy, countless tiny black patterns seemed to flow across the brocade.

At that very moment, a dragon's roar that resounded through the heavens rang out, followed closely by a sharp phoenix cry, along with powerful Dao energy and dazzling flames.

The eerie atmosphere in the surrounding area dissipated.

Ye Wanqing looked at the man in front of her, her eyes filled with suppressed anger, but for some reason, despite his unfamiliar face, his aura felt somewhat familiar to her.

Su Shaohuai, who was standing to the side, sensed the strange aura emanating from the man. His expression darkened slightly, and he stepped forward to protect Ye Wanqing behind him. "Wanqing, be careful. Something's wrong with him."

Ye Wanqing stood against the wind, her clothes fluttering wildly in the eerie aura, but her eyes and brows were as cold as if they had been tempered by a thousand years of ice. "Li Huang has been sealed away, how dare you be so presumptuous?"

The man's face was so handsome it was almost otherworldly, with sharp, angular brows and slightly upturned eyes that carried a hint of nonchalant wickedness. He completely ignored Su Shaohuai beside him, only raising his head slightly when he heard Ye Wanqing's voice. When his gaze swept over her, it was like fire tempered with ice, both alluring and consuming.

"Pretty sister, it's me! Don't you recognize me? Guess who I am? How do I look? Pretty, right? Heh~ I shouldn't be any worse off than Di Siheng, right~"

Ye Wanqing narrowed her eyes slightly, becoming increasingly sensitive to the man's aura, especially his carefree attitude, which felt strangely familiar to her.

Suddenly, her expression shifted, as if she had sensed something, her eyes filled with certainty, "Mysterious Spirit Seal? Little Evil!"

"Wow, sister, you're amazing! You guessed right!" The man's thin lips curved into a deeper smile. His tongue lightly brushed against his lower lip, making the lingering scent of blood even more alluring. His tone was full of seductive charm. "Sis guessed right, there's a reward. What kind of reward do you want, sister?"

"You! Where is Jiang Xu?!"

The Xuanling Seal actually cultivated into a human form, and this human form was dominated by Xiao Xie. The array barrier set up by Di Siheng only had a restrictive effect on the demons outside the Heavenly Domain, but it was ineffective against Jiang Xu and the Xuanling Seal.

Now, the Xuanling Seal has actually broken free from Jiang Xu's soul contract. Heaven above, how could such a thing defy the will of Heaven happen?! And where is Jiang Xu?!

"Sister, why are you so serious? I, Xiao Xie, cultivated into human form a thousand years ahead of schedule and even merged with Xiao Zheng. Given our friendship, aren't you happy for me, sister?"

He took a half step forward, his red robes sweeping across the pebbles on the ground. The dark gold magic patterns on his robes became even more sinister in the light and shadow. A wisp of eerie energy twirled casually between his fingertips. Suddenly, he chuckled softly, his laughter carrying a hint of nonchalant laziness. "What do you think, sister?"

Ye Wanqing subconsciously took a half step back, but the power of the dragon bone within her body surged continuously. As if sensing some kind of aura, her expression instantly hardened, and she transformed the condensed feather in her hand into a sharp blade, piercing the man's heart without hesitation.

The blade was abruptly halted by a powerful force just as it touched her heart, and Ye Wanqing's eyes blazed with undisguised ruthlessness and killing intent. "It's you, Li Huang!"

"Wow, sister, you're so smart! It's a pity there's no reward this time."

The moment he finished speaking, the once clear and unrestrained voice of the young man transformed into a deep and eerie tone.

"Ye Wanqing, you truly deserve to be the darling of the Heavenly Dao of the Three Realms, and a Dragon Maiden of Destiny who appears only once every ten million years. You guessed my identity so quickly. Why don't you try to guess my purpose?"

……

One hour ago

"How dare you use my Mystic Spirit Seal?!"

Before Jiang Xu could even be shocked, the Xuanling Seal of his soul contract, which was rotating, fell into Li Huang's hands. The contract restrictions struggling deep within his soul were constantly churning and devouring his heart meridian and blood energy.

Instantly, blood gushed from the corner of his mouth, his body went limp, and in the last moment before he fainted, he met a pair of heartbroken and helpless eyes.

How could he...

Jiang Xu's soul contract with Xuan Lingyin was forcibly dissolved.

Li Huang squatted down and gently wiped the blood from Jiang Xu's mouth. The strange energy within him was constantly repairing his soul, which had been damaged by the break in the contract. Beneath his deep pupils, there was a complex mix of heartache.

“My son, for the sake of tens of millions of extraterrestrial demons, I have no other choice. I only want to find a way for them to survive, that’s all.”

This is his child, the love of his life. How could he not feel heartache? But there was nothing he could do.

"Your Majesty, let me go. I am willing to do anything for the extraterrestrial demons of the Heavenly Realm."

Li Ji knelt down, his eyes now filled with sincerity, a testament to his usually cold and aloof nature.

Li Huang's eyes were indifferent, and the Xuanling Seal in his hand was still spinning rapidly. Only he knew the powerful force contained within it.

"Li Ji, you have been by my side for many years, you should know my temperament."

“But…” Li Ji suddenly looked up, but before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Li Huang’s stern voice.

"Enough!" Li Huang said sternly, but when he looked at Jiang Xu, who had fainted to the side, a hint of gentleness flickered in his eyes. "Take good care of my son."

After saying that, Li Huang no longer hesitated and left the sealing barrier set up by Di Siheng with the power of the Xuanling Seal.

From beginning to end, Li Mo never spoke, only quietly watching this absurd scene unfold.

It turns out that everything in this world is a chessboard, and even their supreme emperor is just an ordinary chess piece.

It turned out to be the case.

The desolate atmosphere had vanished from the surroundings, but Li Mo still slowly knelt down, his eyes changing from initial complexity to indifference. "Li Mo respectfully bids farewell to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live a long and prosperous life."

The moment the words were spoken, the once dark and vast realm began to twinkle with starlight, and a series of booming sounds resounded.

"We respectfully bid farewell to Your Majesty, wishing you a long and prosperous life!"

"We respectfully bid farewell to Your Majesty, wishing you a long and prosperous life!"

"We respectfully bid farewell to Your Majesty, wishing you a long and prosperous life!"
