Peerless Empress: One Woman, One Sword, Slaying Through Myriad Realms

Suddenly, a dragon's roar echoed from the lake, and a demonic dragon coiled around Ye Wuxi, its dragon king's blood pressure pressing down on him.

"Hmm?" The body covered in blood-red robes uttered a surprised murmur, and the lake instantly calmed down again.

"Princess?" the blood-robed man called out hesitantly.

"What's going on? This little brat has even made a half-saint submit to her." Yao Qianfeng asked in surprise via telepathy.

"Divine beasts are indeed blessed by heaven, born with bloodline suppression." Gu Baiyi clicked his tongue in admiration.

"That's right, it looks like this half-dragon can still fight. We might actually gain a powerful ally this time."

Ye Wuxi remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was secretly pleased and gave Ye Lingke a few instructions.

Both are of dragon blood, and both she and Yao Qianfeng have the essence blood of Ling Ke's true mother, but they just don't recognize it; they only recognize the real dragon.

"Ahem, what's your name? What's your cultivation level? And why has your body been preserved until now?"

Ye Lingke tried her best to appear superior and asked quickly.

"I only remember that my name is Wei. I just survived the Nine Tribulations. It seems that in order to avoid something, I attached a wisp of my remaining spirit to the secret patterns on my body and went into a deep sleep to wait."

"As for this body, it was tempered by a body-forging technique and made with top-tier semi-sacred artifact or even sacred artifact materials. It has also been nurtured by this special place, which is why it has survived until now."

After recalling for a moment, Wei Wei honestly answered all of her questions.

“Turning one’s own body into a weapon, no wonder.” Ye Wuxi and the other three exchanged glances, secretly shocked.

"Do you remember that body-tempering technique or that secret technique you mentioned?" Ye Lingke asked again.

"The secret runes are imprinted on the body, but as for the others, a wisp of remnant spirit cannot bear so many memories."

Wei slowly shook his head.

"Would you be willing to fight alongside my mother?" Ye Lingke suddenly asked, changing the subject.

"Mother?" Wei's face showed a strange expression, and for a moment he did not know who she was talking about.

Of course he could see that Ye Wuxi had absolutely no blood relation to Ye Lingke.

Ye Wuxi looked over without changing her expression, while Ye Lingke said angrily, "What do you mean by this? Do you have a problem with my mother?"

"Of course not, but I'm afraid I'm not qualified to fight for the princesses."

What do you mean by that?

"My lingering will can only be awakened three more times at most. Each awakening can only last for half an hour. Without miraculous medicine, it will take at least three months before it can be awakened again. I estimate that it can only kill half-saints below the sixth tribulation."

"So impressive." The four remained outwardly calm, but inwardly they couldn't help but admire them.

Ye Wuxi was even more tempted by this henchman. Not to mention that he could kill a half-saint, he could also kill a powerhouse on the Emperor Ranking. In her eyes, he would be a very good assistant.

Even if Wei's lingering resentment disappears, this unbroken body can still be used as a top-tier semi-sacred artifact.

“Since I’ve asked, you naturally have the right to ask. Don’t you want to? Come out with my mother, and one day there will be a way to completely bring you back to life.”

Ye Lingke, following Ye Wuxi's instructions, calmly spoke.

“If the princess and this gentleman do not mind, I am of course willing.” Wei looked at Ye Wuxi and finally spoke.

"In that case, lower your defenses and let my mother implant a bloodline seal in you."

"Please, sir." After thinking for a moment, the lieutenant lowered his defenses as instructed.

Ye Wuxi possesses the bloodline of the Azure Dragon, so it wouldn't be unreasonable to use him. The other three are also extremely promising, and with Ye Lingke's identity as the Dark Demon Dragon King, there might truly be a chance to revive him.

"Senior Wei, please don't be so polite. Just call me by my name."

Ye Wuxi smiled leisurely and immediately used the blood of the Azure Dragon to condense a special bloodline seal, which was then integrated into his body and remnant spirit.

This is only applicable to those with demon bloodlines. It's like she's refined a weapon. Even if the remnant spiritual power is exhausted and dissipates, this body will only recognize her as its master.

“Pass on the secret technique you just mentioned to us.”

After doing all this, Ye Lingke returned to her body, and Ye Wuxi spoke directly.

"This secret technique is the Three Transformations of a Demon Spirit, which requires the refinement of three semi-saint spirits or holy spirit patterns."

"The first transformation allows one to summon demon spirits to fight and increase combat power. The second transformation allows one to fuse with demon spirits to directly raise one's cultivation level by one minor realm, resulting in a surge in combat power, but there are limitations."

"The third transformation is the divine transformation, which completely dissolves the demon spirit and condenses the demon spirit divine seal, unleashing damage far exceeding that of the second transformation. It is a one-time use, and after use, the spirit must be refined again before the secret technique can be used again, and there is a period of weakness."

"It seems to have similarities to the methods used by Xuan Yuanjing," Ye Wuxi murmured.

However, where they can find a semi-saint spirit is a problem; without the help of a powerful figure, they simply cannot cultivate it.

"I also have the markings of nine semi-saint demon spirits imprinted here, which may bless the three of you in your cultivation," Wei added.

“It just so happens that the three of you, Senior Sister Chu, are cultivating.” Yao Qianfeng spoke first.

"Qianfeng, there's no need to be modest. You two should start cultivating. Xi'er and I are always together, so she cultivates the same way," Chu Jiangli said nonchalantly.

She was certainly interested in the secret techniques, but with Wei around, it wouldn't be difficult to find a semi-saint spirit to refine later. It would just be a matter of evening practice. Once Gu Baiyi and the other returned to the Demon Palace, it would be less convenient.

"Then thank you very much, Senior Sister Chu." Seeing her resolute attitude, Yao Qianfeng had no choice but to cup his hands in thanks.

Just as Ye Wuxi and the other two finished receiving the secret technique inheritance and the spirit of a half-saint, Wei suddenly said, "I am about to fall into a deep sleep."

His lingering resentment was sealed within the spiritual runes, and this semi-saint's spirit suddenly weakened, unable to sustain itself for even half an hour.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Ye Wuxi was dumbfounded. If she had known that Wei Chuan would fall asleep after the attack, she should have taken him out first, slaughtered a lot of people, and then passed on the power.

This was a complete waste of a chance for a strong player to make a move.

"What a pity." Wei didn't hear the others' regrets. Instead, he closed his eyes and remained motionless.

"Hopefully, no one will provoke us again in three months." Ye Wuxi's eyes flashed with a dark light as he put Wei into the Demon Refining Tower.

Of course, the prerequisite is that they must survive for three months before they can awaken Wei again.

“This lake is perfect for cultivating the three transformations of a demon spirit. How about we master it before we leave?” Ye Wuxi suggested.

Once she successfully cultivates, it will be easier for her to wield the Sun and Moon Sword to slay the Great Emperor. If she improves her cultivation at the second transformation, she will have no fear when facing Xuan Yuanjing.

Gu Baiyi and Yao Qianfeng nodded, and Chu Jiangli said, "Xuanyuan Jing's secret technique should be complete. Senior Sister An and I will go upstairs first to check. If there is no danger, we will study it in the palace and wait for you to come up."

Wei's memories are missing, but the wall patterns on it are gone. It is a cultivation site for a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint, and it is very valuable.

"That's fine too."

Yao Qianfeng released An Sheng and the others from the demon coffin. Without asking any questions, they rushed straight out of the blood lake with Chu Jiangli.

The palace was empty, with no trace of Xuan Yuanjing. Chu Jiangli and the others then sat cross-legged in their respective places, quietly meditating.

While everyone else was cultivating, the group quietly entered the crimson world. As soon as they entered, they displayed their prowess and headed straight for the location of the blood moon.
