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

In less than half an hour.

The entire Deep Sea Dragon Palace was in an uproar.

With the Dragon Emperor's supreme decree, the seal on the treasure vault was opened wide.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The heavy footsteps shattered the white jade floor tiles.

Hundreds upon hundreds of heavily armored golden guards, in pairs, carried enormous spatial storage trays on their shoulders.

On each tray lay a top-grade spiritual vein, tens of feet long, radiating an extremely rich immortal aura and water-based laws!

These treasures of the dragon race, which are usually locked in the deepest part of the treasury and only taken out for a glance during festivals and ancestral worship, are now being carried into the palace gates like cabbages.

The golden-armored guards lowered their heads, glancing at the crystal-clear spiritual veins out of the corner of their eyes. They exchanged bewildered glances, all of them gasping in shock, their scalps tingling with fear.

These numerous top-grade spiritual veins are enough to buy a super sect in the Canglan Realm!

"Put your things down and get out of here."

Jiang Yining leaned against the bed, her face pale, and waved her hand.

She spoke in a weak yet undeniable tone: "The fetus must not make the slightest noise while absorbing spiritual energy. Without my order, all unauthorized personnel, including maids, must get out of the hall and wait!"

The golden-armored guards and maids, as if granted a pardon, quickly put down their trays, scrambled out of the palace, and slammed the doors shut behind them.

The moment the door closed.

Jiang Yining's previously pitiful and weak expression vanished instantly.

A cold smile spread across her lips.

She didn't get out of bed at all.

A thought arose.

The Myriad Spirits Divine Tree deep within his dantian, which had long been thirsting for more, instantly unleashed terrifying power.

Countless roots, thinner and completely transparent than a strand of hair, pierced through her skin, like a vast, all-encompassing net, directly attacking the hundreds and thousands of top-grade spiritual veins on the ground.

"Sizzle—!"

A horrifying scene unfolded.

Those indestructible, top-grade spiritual veins, containing a vast amount of the essence of heaven and earth, become like rotten wood that has been drained of its moisture the moment they come into contact with the roots of the divine tree.

It only takes the time it takes to breathe!

Hundreds and thousands of top-grade spiritual veins, radiating celestial energy, dimmed instantly and then turned into a pile of ashes that drifted away in the wind!

An immense, suffocating surge of spiritual energy flowed wildly into Jiang Yining's dantian through her root system.

Under the frenzied nourishment of massive amounts of spiritual energy, the purplish-gold bud at the top of the Myriad Spirit Divine Tree began to grow wildly. The petals unfolded layer upon layer, radiating a dazzling brilliance of the laws.

Meanwhile, the seventh fetus in her womb, which was not yet fully formed, was undergoing a period of rapid growth under the nourishment of the extremely abundant water-based spatial laws!

The true dragon's embryonic breath throbbed wildly.

A powerful surge of energy rippled out from Jiang Yining's lower abdomen.

That power was so terrifying that it even caused the void around her body to distort violently, forming visible halos of law.

But Jiang Yining frowned.

"Too slow."

She stared at the pile of ashes on the ground, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction.

Although there were many of these spiritual veins brought in from the periphery, they were just a drop in the ocean compared to the bottomless demands of the Myriad Spirit Divine Tree and the Seven Treasures.

At this rate, how long would it take to absorb all that?

At that moment, light footsteps could be heard outside the palace.

Ao Lin is back.

Jiang Yining immediately clutched her chest and let out a violent retching sound.

"Ning'er! What's wrong? Is the baby being restless again?"

As soon as Ao Lin pushed open the door, he was so frightened that he dropped the jade slip in his hand and rushed to the bedside.

Jiang Yining gripped the brocade quilt tightly, two physiological tears welling up in her eyes. She gasped painfully, "Your Majesty... I can't stand the smell of so many people in this palace... Tell those maids outside to move away, I feel nauseous..."

"Get out! Get them all ten miles away!" Ao Lin roared at the outside of the hall.

The maids outside the door were so frightened that they scrambled away.

Everyone was sent away.

As Jiang Yining lay on the edge of the bed retching, her eyes instantly turned icy cold.

This time, she was no longer satisfied with the spiritual veins that were sent in.

She manipulated the thickest main root of the Myriad Spirits Divine Tree, and silently pierced into the white jade bricks beneath the bed through the cracks in the bedchamber.

Keep going down! Keep going down!

It pierced through tens of thousands of feet of the earth's crust and plunged directly into the most core and largest ancient dragon vein in the deep sea demon realm!

That is the lifeline supporting the entire underwater demon realm!

The moment the roots pierce through, it's like a whale swallowing the sea.

The terrifying core dragon energy flowed continuously through the root system, directly into her body.

At this moment, Ao Lin was completely unaware of the earth-shattering changes happening underground.

He stayed by the bedside without leaving for a moment.

He carefully picked up a bowl of Ten-Thousand-Year Spiritual Essence Liquid that had just been taken from the treasure vault.

The supreme ruler of the demon realm held a jade spoon in his hand, gently scooped up a spoonful of spiritual essence liquid, blew on it, and brought it to Jiang Yining's lips.

"Ning'er, be good, drink this and you won't feel uncomfortable anymore."

Looking at Jiang Yining's increasingly rosy cheeks from absorbing the core dragon vein, Ao Lin's eyes were filled with the deep affection and extreme satisfaction of a father.

Jiang Yining held the precious spirit crystal jade bowl, slightly parted her red lips, and swallowed the spirit marrow liquid.

She slightly raised her eyes, looking at the mighty and arrogant Dragon Emperor of the Heavenly Monarch Realm before her.

Watching him, like a complete victim, fussing over her with concern and affection.

Jiang Yining's heart stirred slightly.

……

at the same time.

The outside world has been completely turned upside down.

As the core dragon vein was frantically extracted by the Myriad Spirits Divine Tree, a devastating chain reaction finally erupted.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Ten thousand miles under the sea, a terrifying super earthquake suddenly erupted!

The enormous underwater fissure was bottomless, and countless hard coral reefs were instantly reduced to dust.

The once calm sea was suddenly engulfed by a towering tsunami, with a water wall thousands of feet high raging wildly with the power to destroy everything.

"What happened? Why is the spiritual energy so depleted!"

"My cave is about to collapse!"

Outside the Dragon Palace, screams of terror echoed from the caves of the great demons.

To their utter horror, they discovered that the spiritual energy, which was usually so abundant it seemed to drip with water, had suddenly plummeted!

Even those old monsters who had been in seclusion were forced to vomit blood and break free of their seclusion.

Inside the Elders' Hall.

The atmosphere was as deathly still as a tomb.

Dozens of high-ranking members of the dragon clan stared intently at the star chart in the center of the hall.

On the star chart, the enormous array eye representing the core lifeline of the demon realm is dimming and withering at a visible speed.

Finally, the light flickered twice, then completely withered away, turning into a deathly gray-white expanse!

"It's over..."

"The very foundation of the demon realm... has been severed!"

One of the elders suddenly collapsed to the ground, his voice wailing like a ghost's cry.

The elder gripped the edge of the star chart so tightly that his fingernails snapped from the force, drawing blood.

He suddenly raised his head, and two shocking lines of bloody tears streamed from his eyes.

At this moment, he finally understood the truth of everything.

That woman wasn't resting during her pregnancy at all; she was a complete and utterly monstrous demon! She was draining the entire demon race dry!

"A tyrant ruins the country! A wicked concubine brings disaster to the world!"

The elder let out a desperate and furious roar.

"choke!"

He drew his natal weapon, the one that had slain countless powerful enemies, from his waist, its blade pointing directly towards the palace.

"Dragon warriors, heed my command! That demoness is draining our lifeblood! Follow me into her palace and slay the demon queen! Even if the Dragon Emperor executes me, I will act on behalf of Heaven today!"

"kill!"

"Slay the wicked concubine!"

Dozens of dragon elders, their eyes bloodshot, revealed their natal divine weapons, their bodies radiating desperate fluctuations of the laws of battle.

Filled with a death-defying rage, they transformed into dozens of streaks of light, soaring directly into the sky and completely surrounding the incomparably luxurious palace.
