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

With the mysterious man gone, the battle finally ended. The gods in the divine realm cheered, feeling proud of Lan Yunyan and Ling Xiuhan's heroic performance.

Although Lan Yunyan and Ling Xiuhan emerged victorious from this battle, both were gravely wounded. The gods hurriedly escorted them back to the Holy Power Temple and placed them within its inner chambers. For a moment, the entire divine realm was immersed in an atmosphere of mixed joy of victory and concern for the two men.

Lan Yunyan lay on the bed, her consciousness wavering between chaos and clarity.

The mysterious power from the depths of the source of holy power was still flowing slowly in her body, repairing her damaged meridians and internal organs. With each circulation, she could clearly feel that her connection with the holy power was getting closer.

The same was true for Ling Xiu Han. The magic sword hung quietly at the head of his bed. The magic fluctuations of the sword echoed with his breath, constantly nourishing his body and helping him recover from his injuries.

However, the calm did not last long.

Deep in the temple, the holy power crystal that guarded the source of holy power suddenly trembled violently, and an obscure and profound aura emanated from it, directly penetrating the layers of restrictions in the temple and dissipating into the distance.

The fluctuation of this aura was extremely weak, but Lan Yunyan keenly detected it. She forced her weak body to sit up in bed, her eyes filled with vigilance and worry.

"Xiu Han, the unusual movement of this Holy Power Crystal may indicate that a greater crisis is about to come." Lan Yunyan said softly, her voice weak but firm.

Ling Xiuhan also noticed something was amiss. He gripped his magic sword tightly, stood up, and walked over to Lan Yunyan, his gaze fixed on the Holy Power Crystal. "This aura... seems to be connected to the mysterious force from before. We must uncover the truth as soon as possible."

Just as the two were about to delve deeper, a sudden noise was heard outside the temple.

A guard rushed in and reported in a panic, "Oh no, my lords! A strange spatial crack has appeared at the border of the divine realm, and a large number of unidentified creatures have emerged from it. They are heading towards the temple!"

Lan Yunyan and Ling Xiuhan exchanged a glance, each seeing a solemn expression in the other's eyes. They knew full well that the sudden onset of this new crisis was undoubtedly related to the previous movements of the mysterious force and the Holy Power Crystal.

The two of them didn't have time to think about it, and quickly flew out of the temple with their bodies that had not yet fully recovered.

When they arrived at the border of the divine realm, the scene before them made them gasp.

All kinds of strange creatures continuously emerged from the huge space crack. Some were like ghosts, with black mist surrounding them; others were huge in size, covered with scales as hard as iron, and every movement made the earth tremble.

"What kind of monsters are these?" Lan Yunyan asked with a frown, unconsciously tightening the Chaos Axe in her hand.

Ling Xiuhan's expression was stern, his magic sword humming. "No matter what they are, we must not let them set foot in the divine realm!"

After saying that, he rushed into the enemy group first, waving his magic sword and sending out black sword energy. Wherever it went, the monsters were chopped into pieces.

Lan Yunyan was not willing to be outdone. She took a deep breath and mobilized the holy power and the mysterious natural force in her body.

In an instant, a layer of dazzling golden light appeared around her body, and the Chaos Axe in her hand also burst into brilliant rune light.

"Holy Power: Glory of Dawn!" Lan Yunyan shouted delicately and swung her axe towards the group of monsters.

A huge holy light blade was formed in an instant, like a rising sun, carrying endless light and heat. Wherever it passed, the monsters shrouded in dark fog let out shrill screams and were instantly reduced to ashes.

Led by the two, the gods of the divine realm joined the battle. For a moment, the radiance of various spells and the cold light of weapons intertwined, launching a thrilling life-and-death struggle with the monsters.

However, these monsters seemed endless, and as time went on, the gods gradually felt powerless. Lan Yunyan and Ling Xiuhan's attacks also gradually weakened due to their injuries.

Just when everyone was in trouble, Lan Yunyan suddenly discovered that these monsters seemed to have an instinctive fear of the aura emitted by the Holy Power Crystal.

She felt something in her heart and exchanged glances with Ling Xiuhan. They both instantly understood each other's thoughts.

"Xiu Han, let's lure these monsters to the vicinity of the Holy Power Crystal and use the power of the crystal to destroy them!" Lan Yunyan shouted loudly.

Ling Xiu Han nodded in agreement. The two of them used all their strength, fighting and retreating in the direction of the Holy Power Crystal, constantly attracting the monsters' attention along the way.

The gods also understood their intentions and cooperated with their actions, leading the group of monsters step by step towards the Temple of Holy Power.

As everyone retreated to the Holy Power Crystal, the monsters surged forward like a tide. Lan Yunyan and Ling Xiuhan exchanged a glance, then simultaneously plunged their weapons into the ground, forming hand seals with their hands and unleashing the power of the Holy Power Crystal with all their might.

In an instant, the Holy Power Crystal burst into a thousand-foot-long light, and a powerful Holy Power wave spread out in all directions with it as the center.

After those monsters came into contact with this fluctuation of holy power, their bodies instantly began to disintegrate, turning into black mist and dissipating in the air.

As the monsters gradually disappeared, the spatial rift slowly closed. Lan Yunyan and Ling Xiuhan breathed a sigh of relief, their bodies limp, and they nearly collapsed to the ground.

The gods rushed forward to support them, their eyes full of admiration and gratitude.

Lan Yunyan and Ling Xiuhan were exhausted, but they knew that this crisis had only subsided temporarily, and the mystery behind it remained unsolved. With the support of the gods, they returned to the inner chambers of the temple for a short rest.

Lan Yunyan circulated the holy power in her body, feeling the fusion of that mysterious power with herself, and was filled with worry.

"Xiu Han, this monster's appearance is incredibly strange. The unusual movement of the Holy Power Crystal must be the key. We must quickly uncover the cause, or the Divine Realm will be in turmoil."

Ling Xiuhan nodded, the demonic sword trembling slightly beside him, as if responding to his resolve. "Well, I also think this matter is not simple. That mysterious force has repeatedly attacked, and they must be targeting the source of the holy power."
