Many children, many blessings: Stealing the offspring of powerful figures to cultivate immortality.

Above Abandoned Star Island, the wasteland clouds, which had been quiet for several days due to the destruction of the Protoss fleet, suddenly began to churn violently and wildly, as if violently stirred by an invisible giant hand.

The ethereal energy in the air froze in that instant.

Immediately afterwards, a deafeningly loud "rip" sound rang out!

The thick, gloomy clouds were torn apart by an extremely terrifying golden light, creating a massive gap tens of thousands of feet long. The dazzling golden light poured down from the sky like a flood bursting its banks, instantly illuminating the entire Abandoned Star Island as bright as day.

"roar--!"

A terrifying dragon roar that shattered the void erupted from the depths of the crack.

A five-clawed golden dragon phantom, tens of thousands of feet long, coiled and roared wildly in the clouds. With each movement of its massive, winding body, it crushed dark spatial rifts in the void. The pressure of the True Dragon Laws belonging to the Heavenly Monarch Realm descended upon the protective array of Abandoned Star Island without reservation, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were sinking.

In the very center of the sky filled with golden light and dragon shadows, a tall and imposing man stepped out from the void.

He wore a dragon robe that shimmered with dark golden light, his long, dark golden hair danced wildly, and dragon scales faintly appeared on his bronze skin. The supreme ruler of the demon realm, Dragon Emperor Ao Lin, stepped directly onto the quasi-saint-level purple-gold light barrier of Abandoned Star Island with such domineering and arrogant demeanor.

"The piercing alarm instantly shattered the tranquility of Abandoned Star Island!"

"Beep! Beep! Beep! Targeted by a Heavenly Monarch Realm Destruction-level energy entity!"

The mechanical puppet Moye's emotionless mechanical eye flashed with a blinding blood-red light. Without any hesitation, the intricate gears within its body meshed rapidly, instantly severing all the daily operating formations on Abandoned Star Island.

"Energy redirection, 100% diversion to the core defense system!" Mo Xie brutally extracted all the energy from the massive ley lines that had just merged at the bottom of the island.

On a hidden mine behind Abandoned Star Island, three jet-black, ten-zhang-long star energy cannons slowly rose amidst a roar. Deep within the dark muzzles, destructive white light was rapidly gathering, locking onto the Dragon Emperor emanating terrifying energy in mid-air. The entire island instantly entered its highest level of emergency preparedness.

At the same time, the heavy doors of the Xuan Yin Palace were suddenly pushed open from the inside with a loud bang.

"Clang!"

A clear and high-pitched sword cry resounded through the sky. Gu Qinghan, dressed in snow-white robes, had already drawn his Pure Yang natal sword. The Haotian Pure Yang True Fire, powerful enough to burn the heavens and boil the seas, burned wildly around him, distorting and deforming the surrounding space.

Beside him, Yu Luofeng's eerie face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water. The ghostly aura of the semi-saint level surged and spread wildly beneath his feet like black venomous snakes ready to devour their prey.

The two men standing atop the pyramid of the Canglan Realm didn't hesitate for a moment. Like ferocious beasts protecting their cubs, they stood on either side, firmly blocking Jiang Yining as she stepped out of the palace gate.

Two pairs of eyes, filled with murderous intent and extreme hostility, stared intently at the uninvited guest in mid-air.

This was the first time Jiang Yining had faced the legendary Dragon Emperor of the Demon Realm head-on.

Today, she wore a long purple-gold dress that perfectly accentuated her figure, the hem fluttering in the wind. She didn't flinch despite the overwhelming pressure overhead; instead, she slightly raised her head and calmly gazed at the man in mid-air through the purple-gold protective aura.

With just one glance, Jiang Yining saw right through him.

Although this man possessed terrifying strength at the Heavenly Monarch Realm, he exuded a nauseating nouveau riche aura. From the exquisite dragon bone golden crown he wore on his head to the priceless jade pendants hanging at his waist, everything he wore showcased the demon realm's immense wealth.

Jiang Yining's deep purple-gold eyes remained completely calm. She saw through Ao Lin's dark golden dragon eyes at a glance, revealing an undisguised and naked lust.

It was an extreme greed that saw her as an exquisite prey, something to be forcibly taken and kept as a personal plaything.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

As Ao Lin unleashed his true dragon power without reservation, a series of muffled thuds erupted on the streets surrounding Abandoned Star Island.

Those who had once risked their lives in the black market, reaching the Integration Stage or even the Void Realm, turned deathly pale under the absolute suppression of their bloodline and the crushing power of their cultivation. They coughed up blood, their knees slamming to the ground with a thud, their bones cracking under the terrifying pressure, not even having the right to look up at the sky.

"Heavens... a true dragon of the Heavenly Monarch Realm... this Abandoned Star Island is doomed..." An old rogue cultivator lay on the ground, muttering to himself in despair.

However, amidst the kneeling and wailing, only Jiang Yining stood tall and straight like a pine tree.

The overwhelming pressure of the true dragon, powerful enough to crush even a Mahayana cultivator, vanished without a trace as soon as it landed on her.

Because at that very moment, the Myriad Spirits Divine Tree within her body became completely excited.

The divine tree, which had already sprouted purple-gold flower buds, seemed to smell the world's finest fertilizer after sensing Ao Lin's extremely pure true dragon bloodline. An extremely greedy, even somewhat frenzied, devouring desire instantly spread from the depths of the divine tree's roots to every part of Jiang Yining's body.

I want to devour him.

They wanted to squeeze every last drop of his supreme true dragon essence, turning it into top-tier nourishment for both the twins and their own cultivation level!

midair.

Ao Lin looked down at Jiang Yining, who was inside the light barrier. The moment he saw her in person, his dark golden dragon eyes suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly terrifying light.

The beauty in a phantom image is less than one ten-thousandth of the beauty in a real person.

That aloof and solitary temperament, that breathtaking figure outlined by the raging wind, and those purple-gold eyes that remained unmoved even under the pressure of a true dragon—it almost made his dragon blood boil.

"Hahahaha! Excellent! What an absolute beauty!"

Ao Lin laughed arrogantly, his laughter like rolling thunder, shaking the entire Abandoned Star Island.

His arrogant nature meant that he considered even a few polite words or small talk superfluous. He suddenly flicked the wide sleeves of his dragon robe.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The void instantly split open into ten enormous black holes.

Ten top-grade spiritual veins, tens of thousands of feet long and shimmering with dazzling light from the finest star crystals, were like ten real earth dragons. He forcibly extracted them from the demon realm using the terrifying magic power of the Heavenly Monarch Realm, and they roared out of the black hole.

"Bang--!"

Ten top-grade spiritual veins slammed solidly into the purple-gold protective array of Abandoned Star Island.

The immeasurable amount of spiritual energy exploded instantly, transforming into a dense rain of spiritual energy that was almost dripping with water.

This terrifying wealth, enough to buy most of the Middle Realm, instantly silenced all the hardened criminals on the island who were used to death. Everyone stared wide-eyed, their minds blank.

Ao Lin stood above the ten spiritual veins radiating dazzling light, not even glancing at Gu Qinghan and Yu Luofeng, who were blocking Jiang Yining's way.

In his eyes, the supreme ruler of the demon realm, even the Tower Master of the Pill Tower and the Lord of the Ghost Domain were nothing more than two slightly larger ants on the ground, as long as they had not reached the Heavenly Monarch Realm.

He looked down at Jiang Yining and pointed directly at her with his large hand, which was adorned with a top-quality jade thumb ring with nine dragons.

The sound, like muffled thunder, forcefully pierced through the island's protective array and exploded in Jiang Yining's ears:

"Woman, these ten top-grade spiritual veins are a buyout of all the intelligent alchemy techniques on Abandoned Star Island!"

He paused, his eyes radiating an unyielding domineering arrogance. "As for you... leave the battle now and come with me. Once we return to the Dragon Palace, you will be my most favored canary!"
