A Useless Person's Rise to Power: The Demon King's Addiction to Pampering

This scream seemed to awaken Xiao Lingyuan's senses. He tried to stop the girl's actions, but was held in place by an extremely powerful force!

"Husband."

The girl's golden-glowing soul was still smiling as she floated over very gently and placed a kiss on Xiao Lingyuan's forehead.

This time, instead of silently mouthing the words, she boldly uttered them—

"I love you."

Then the girl transformed into scattered golden light, merging into Xiao Lingyuan's body through every pore. The spiritual power within Xiao Lingyuan's body was controlled by a force, and he was unable to move. A tear slid down his cheek.

The souls of those magical beasts were also transformed into specks of soul light, which followed the girl's soul and entered Xiao Lingyuan's body.

"return……"

Xiao Lingyuan watched everything unfold, powerless to stop it. After all the souls completely merged with Feng Jiutian, Xiao Lingyuan's aura surged dramatically.

He rose from the realm of Immortal Master to God Venerable, and directly broke through to Godhood!

He was the first person in the history of Tenglong Continent to break through to godhood, and the first person in history to directly break through to godhood at a young age!

It took Xiao Lingyuan more than half a month to break through.

Within half a month, the people of the empire also received the news and arrived at Xiao Lingyuan's side just as he broke through.

When the two Divine Venerables who came saw the shock in Xiao Lingyuan's eyes, they were even more surprised that Xiao Lingyuan had actually broken through at this critical juncture!

Moreover, this aura fluctuated extremely strongly, especially when the spiritual energy around Xiao Lingyuan surged, this feeling became even stronger.

There were over a hundred people who came this time, all of whom were there to besiege Xiao Lingyuan. The empire was already furious because of the loss of a God-Emperor and several Immortal Masters, and was prepared to tear Xiao Lingyuan to pieces.

They don't need someone who could become dangerous at any moment to save the empire's leader's life; it's better to get rid of such a dangerous person as soon as possible.

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, the empire even posted notices in a grand manner, claiming that Ling Yuan had betrayed his family and that he would eliminate the only remaining remnant of the family.

The Ling family was once an extremely prosperous family.

As the only remaining heir of the Ling family, he must possess treasures accumulated by the family, enough to arouse the envy and jealousy of anyone in the world.

So people who received the news rushed over, some sent by their families, others just looking to snag a bargain.

The two deities also wanted to take immediate action to subdue Ling Yuan while he was breaking through; otherwise, given his current aura, if he were to break through...

The two deities exchanged a glance, immediately drew their weapons, and charged forward!

Just then, Xiao Lingyuan opened his eyes. He didn't look at anyone, and a powerful elemental fluctuation erupted around him, spreading outward in the shape of water ripples, directly knocking both of the God Venerables away!

"boom!"

The two deities were blasted away by the aftershock, creating a large crater, and were completely powerless to fight back!

Xiao Lingyuan, exuding an icy aura, slowly stood up, raised his hand, and looked indifferently at the group of people who had approached him. He raised his hand—

"Hula-"

With a wave of his hand, a gust of wind howled, as if a giant was wielding a wind blade and crushing anyone who came to him to death!

The deity was powerless to fight back. He was first slapped to the ground, and then crushed by a force that descended from the sky, killing him instantly!

After killing both deities, Xiao Lingyuan slowly withdrew his hand, coldly glancing at the group of people whose lives had already been taken by the wind blades, nearly a hundred of them, and silently sneered.

He immediately channeled his spiritual energy into the ground, instantly activating the array within the Demon Beast Forest! The array he had spent ten years setting up!

These people deserve to die.

Feng Jiutian couldn't quite describe his feelings. It was as if Xiao Lingyuan's heart had died after the girl died. Even though he had broken through to the Godhood realm, he was still not as happy as when the girl was still alive. He couldn't even smile.

Perhaps Feng Jiutian couldn't understand what kind of feelings existed between the two, finding them somewhat uninteresting, or perhaps he had a respectful but distant attitude towards such feelings.

If love can turn a person into this... she still doesn't want it.

This was Feng Jiutian's attitude. She watched as Xiao Lingyuan's aura turned into a stagnant pool, lifeless and without any ripples.

Those who ventured into the Monster Forest were tormented by the great formation to the point of wishing they were dead, and even felt that it was all an injustice of fate.

The turmoil of the great formation lasted for a long time and shocked the entire continent. None of the experts, including the divine venerables and immortal masters who came, returned alive!

Some people sent people to investigate, but they were caught off guard by the barrier before they even got close to the outer edge of the Monster Forest.

A large group of people arrived, but were easily tormented by the barrier and small formations, and then retreated in the same manner.

No one dared to challenge Ling Yuan's power in the Monster Forest anymore, and the fame of this battle gradually spread. At this moment, Ling Yuan was standing at the place where the girl disappeared, trying to find traces of her.

At the moment her soul vanished, her body, as a result of the sacrifice, turned into dust and dissipated into the world, leaving only her small and exquisite weapon, the flute.

But what Xiao Lingyuan wanted was a living girl, not a weapon or a flute.

But the girl can no longer come back. Ordinary soul fusion does not require sacrificing the body. It was because the girl wanted Xiao Lingyuan to become stronger.

So the girl made a decision.

She extracted the souls of the hunted magical beasts and suppressed them in a certain area. Adding her own soul to the collection, she found it was still insufficient. So, she directly took out the ancestral spirits of her family's serpents and transformed them into power, giving them all to Xiao Lingyuan.

Otherwise, how could Xiao Lingyuan have broken through to the Divine Realm in such a short time?

Breaking God, the number one expert at the pinnacle of the Tenglong Continent!

She gave everything to Xiao Lingyuan, but ended up with nothing but bones, no soul, no chance of reincarnation, and no so-called next life.

So the girl really disappeared and will never come back.

Lingyuan often stared blankly at the girl's flute. He stayed in the Monster Forest for another three years. By then, no one dared to come to the Monster Forest, and Lingyuan's reputation had reached its peak. However, before leaving the Monster Forest, he still set up another layer of formation and barrier.

He didn't want anyone to disturb the girl's peace.

Therefore, from that time on, no one in the world is allowed to enter this magical forest!

Afterwards, Xiao Lingyuan went to the family that the girl remembered. He had some fragments of the girl's memories in his mind and was able to find the family that the girl belonged to.

I've heard it's a secret family, and Xiao Lingyuan just wants to see what the place where the girl grew up is like.
