The Emperor's Favorite: The Useless and Crazy Concubine Who Conquers the World

It was as if it was the Demon Realm's angry response to his wanton plundering of power.

Black lightning bolts as thick as water tanks shuttled through the dark clouds like dragons. Then, these lightning bolts seemed to be pulled and struck down towards where Ling Xiu Han was.

Ling Xiuhan's eyes glared. He knew full well that the black lightning held the power to annihilate heaven and earth, a force far beyond anything he had faced before. Yet, he felt no fear at all; instead, a strong desire to fight surged within him.

His hands danced swiftly, drawing a massive dark magic circle in front of him. The power of the magic crystal and the fire demon's magic surged wildly within him, pouring into the magic circle.

The magic circle instantly shone brightly, forming a huge black hemispherical shield that enveloped him.

Black lightning continuously bombarded the shield, and each impact caused the shield to fluctuate violently, as if it would shatter in the next moment.

Ling Xiu Han was muttering something, veins popping out on his forehead as he tried his best to maintain the shield.

At the same time, he stared at the dark clouds in the sky through the shield, trying to find the source of this power.

While defending against the lightning attacks, Ling Xiu Han discovered that these lightning attacks seemed to have some pattern. They were not striking randomly, but were gradually weakening specific points of his shield.

"Hmph, you are not qualified enough to find the flaws in my shield!" He sneered and concentrated his magic power on the weak points that were attacked to strengthen the defense.

As the lightning continued to attack, Ling Xiuhan gradually felt the depletion of his magic power. He knew that this was not a solution and he had to take the initiative to attack.

So, he took a deep breath, concentrated the Flame Demon's magic power at his feet, and enveloped his entire body in the power of the magic crystal. Suddenly, he removed his shield, transformed into a stream of black light, and rushed towards the dark clouds.

He was extremely fast, shuttling between lightning strikes.

When he approached the dark clouds, he discovered that there was a huge black thunder ball hidden in the clouds. The thunder ball was surrounded by various ancient runes. These runes emitted powerful magical fluctuations, and it was they that controlled the lightning attack.

Ling Xiuhan rushed towards the lightning ball without hesitation, and the magic sword condensed in his hand again. He swung the magic sword and slashed at the lightning ball. The moment the magic sword and the lightning ball came into contact, a burst of intense light and a huge energy shockwave erupted.

Ling Xiu Han was knocked backwards by the impact, but he steadied himself in mid-air and rushed towards the thunder ball again.

This time, he cast an even more powerful spell—Dark Devouring. Endless dark power surged around his body, like a huge black vortex, sweeping towards the thunder ball.

The runes surrounding the lightning ball began to flicker, attempting to resist the engulfing force of darkness. However, Ling Xiuhan's magic power was too strong, and the dark vortex gradually enveloped the lightning ball.

As the darkness engulfed him, Ling Xiuhan felt the power within the thunderball constantly struggling and resisting. He increased his magic output, chanting an ancient and evil spell.

As the spell was recited, the size of the thunder ball gradually shrank, and the power in it was absorbed into Ling Xiu Han's body bit by bit.

After absorbing the power of the lightning ball, Ling Xiuhan's body was surrounded by a layer of black arcs of electricity. His hair stood on end, and his eyes flashed with a blend of black and purple light, making him look like a demon god descending.

"This kind of power is worthy of my position in the Demon Realm!" He laughed, and his laughter echoed throughout the Demon Realm.

At this moment, the magma realm below became even more violent due to the fluctuations of energy. The magma river was like a raging beast, rushing and flooding everywhere.

Ling Xiuhan looked down at all this and suddenly had a bold idea. He decided to use this violent force to further enhance his magical realm.

He flew above the lava river, stretched his hands downward, and chanted a long and complicated spell.

As the spell progressed, his magic and the energy in the magma began to resonate with each other.

The fire elements and dark magic in the magma gradually gathered at his feet, forming a huge energy column.

Ling Xiuhan was trapped within the energy column, enduring the intense heat and powerful impact. His body felt as if it were being torn apart, but he gritted his teeth and persevered, relying on his tenacious will and strong magical foundation.

In the energy column, his magic power began to transform, gradually merging from the original dark magic power into the flame element, forming a new and more powerful magic power - the dark power of the Flame Demon.

When the magical transformation was complete, the energy column dissipated with a bang. Ling Xiuhan slowly landed on a huge magma rock. He gently waved his finger, and a black flame formed by the dark power of the Flame Demon danced on his fingertips.

"From now on, I will be truly invincible in this Demon Realm!" His voice was full of dominance.

While Ling Xiuhan was recklessly improving his strength in the Demon Realm, Lan Yunyan, who was far away in Lingxu Valley, suffered a serious backlash from her cultivation.

In the secret room where Lan Yunyan was practicing in seclusion, the originally calm fluctuations of spiritual energy suddenly became chaotic.

The blue aura surrounding her seemed to be eroded by an invisible dark force. The light flickered, bursting out with dazzling light from time to time, and then fell into a heart-pounding dimness.

Her face was as pale as paper, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down her forehead, soaking her clothes.

Lan Yunyan originally wanted to reach the supreme spiritual realm in Lingxu Valley, so she took the risk to try to integrate an ancient and mysterious spiritual power.

This spiritual power is said to have the power to destroy the world, but it is also extremely overbearing and will backfire on you if you are not careful.

At first, everything seemed to be under control. The spiritual power slowly merged into her spiritual veins, like a trickle of water flowing into a river. She could clearly feel her spiritual power rising steadily, as if she had touched the threshold of the spiritual realm.

However, something unexpected happened in an instant. Like a demon suddenly awakening, the spiritual power broke free from her control and surged through her spiritual veins.

Each impact was like a sharp spike, tearing her meridians, and her body began to tremble violently.
