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

"Boom—!"

Ten deadly beams of light, imbued with the destructive power of stellar energy and the laws of space, shot out from the front of the main ship with an overwhelming pressure, heading straight for the dome of the palace!

"Who dares to touch my women and imperial offspring!"

Ao Lin let out a fierce roar, burning the last bit of his dried-up true dragon essence without reservation.

In a burst of dazzling golden light, he transformed into a true dragon, ten thousand feet long and capable of blotting out the sky!

He actually used his battered dragon body as a human shield, standing between the main cannon beam and the palace!

"Bang--!"

A cataclysmic explosion erupted on Ao Lin's dragon back.

The Protoss commander gasped, staring in shock at the scene: "This madman! He'd risk his life for a woman?!"

Large chunks of dragon meat were instantly vaporized, and the stark white dragon bones pierced through the flesh, exposed to the air.

Ao Lin let out a desperate cry, and his ten-thousand-foot-long dragon body could no longer support him, falling directly from the sky.

"boom!"

His massive, broken body crashed through the palace dome and slammed heavily into the wrecked ruins, where it transformed back into human form.

Dust flew everywhere.

Ao Lin, covered in blood, struggled to lift his head, supporting himself on the ground with trembling hands.

The first thing he saw was the radiant purple-gold teleportation portal in the center of the hall, and Jiang Yining standing unharmed at the edge of the portal.

Anyone with a normal mind would instantly understand the truth behind the theft of the Dragon Palace upon seeing the drained array marks and teleportation arrays scattered across the ground.

But Ao Lin was deceived too deeply.

His brain, dominated by male chauvinism and a fiercely protective instinct towards his wife, never considered the possibility that Jiang Yining had betrayed him.

He believed that Jiang Yining had been forced to activate some extremely dangerous escape formation in order to save the lives of herself and her child.

"Ning'er... the formation has been activated... hurry..."

Coughing up blood, Ao Lin scrambled toward the portal.

He lunged forward, using his still-bleeding iron arms to grip Jiang Yining's shoulders tightly, using his last strength to press her against the edge of the raging space of the portal.

Jiang Yining was stunned. She thought that Ao Lin would be furious and retaliate after discovering the truth, but she did not expect that the man whose life force she had drained only had despair and reluctance in his eyes for her to leave.

"Your Majesty..." she called out softly, instinctively.

"Live on! Live on with my offspring!"

Ao Lin stared intently at Jiang Yining's stunningly beautiful face, his possessiveness, madness, and sorrow reaching their peak at that moment.

He knew he was going to die, but he would never tolerate this woman forgetting him over the long years, nor could he tolerate her being touched by other men!

"Remember me! You will be my woman for all eternity!"

Ao Lin let out a low growl like a wild beast.

He suddenly lowered his head, opened his blood-stained mouth, and bit down hard on Jiang Yining's snow-white and slender collarbone with almost frenzied despair!

"Ugh!" Jiang Yining groaned in pain.

Ao Lin's teeth pierced her delicate skin, and blood gushed out instantly.

He mixed the last drop of his Heavenly Monarch Realm lifeblood with his domineering and unparalleled dragon soul will and forcefully poured it into her wound.

Hot blood spread across her skin, transforming into a complex, ferocious, and indelible purple-gold dragon-shaped blood mark!

This dragon soul blood pact will be forever imprinted deep within her soul, proclaiming the most extreme obsession and possessiveness of this overlord of the demon realm.

After doing all this, Ao Lin took one last deep, greedy look at Jiang Yining.

"Walk!"

Without the slightest hesitation, he shoved Jiang Yining violently into the raging teleportation tunnel.

Then, he suddenly turned around.

That broad and majestic figure showed no trace of lingering affection, but rather a resolute posture of sacrifice.

"You Protoss scum! You shall be buried with me!"

Ao Lin soared into the sky, the Heavenly Monarch Realm Dragon Core within his body emitting a destructive and dazzling light. He transformed into a blinding sun, resolutely facing the overwhelming Star Spirit army, and detonated himself!

The moment the light from the teleportation array completely closed, she touched the burning hot dragon-shaped bloodstain on her collarbone.

As the light converged, a dizzying sensation of time and space shifting completely enveloped Jiang Yining.

Beneath Abandoned Star Island, in the deepest part of the hidden Xuan Yin Palace.

The water in the Twin-Blade Spirit Pool was shrouded in a thick layer of array-like white mist, half of which was a chilling icy blue, while the other half was a boiling crimson red.

Gu Qinghan, dressed in spotless white robes, stood quietly at the edge of the pool.

He stayed here for a full half month.

For the past two weeks, he had been constantly replaying the scene of Jiang Yining being forcibly abducted by the Dragon Emperor Ao Lin. Each time he thought about it, the destructive power belonging to Haotian Pure Yang within him became more volatile.

suddenly!

A violent sound of space tearing came from the air above the Spirit Pool.

"Sizzle—"

A spatial rift was forcibly torn open, and Jiang Yining's graceful body plummeted down from the rift.

Gu Qinghan's eyes narrowed suddenly, and his figure instantly transformed into a white blur. Just a second before Jiang Yining fell into the water, he stretched out his arms and caught her steadily in his embrace.

The immense impact propelled both of them into the spirit pool.

"Splash!"

The spatial fluctuations instantly caused the pool water to churn violently, splashing water everywhere.

"You're back..." Gu Qinghan's voice trembled slightly with a sense of relief at having regained what he had lost, and he wrapped his arms tightly around her waist.

However, at that very moment of falling into the water...

Gu Qinghan's extremely keen sense of smell immediately detected the scent on Jiang Yining's body.

All the muscles in his body stiffened completely at that moment, and his originally cold and aloof eyes suddenly froze.

His gaze uncontrollably drifted downwards, finally settling on the area below Jiang Yining's neck.

There, a purple-gold dragon-shaped blood seal, radiating the might of a Heavenly Monarch Realm dragon, stung his eyes like a red-hot branding iron!

The teeth marks on that mark were so clear!

"Snapped!"

The string of reason in Gu Qinghan's mind snapped completely.

"You let him touch you?"

Gu Qinghan's voice was terribly hoarse, as if it were being forced out from between his teeth, carrying a chilling, bloody smell.

The next second, an astonishingly powerful pure Yang aura erupted from his body!

"boom!"

Under this terrifying pressure, the entire Twin Blade Spirit Pool instantly went out of control. Half of the pool water instantly froze into thick ice, while the other half boiled and exploded like magma!

Large, bloodshot veins instantly appeared at the corners of Gu Qinghan's eyes, shattering his aloof and restrained facade.

He suddenly reached out and grabbed Jiang Yining's wrist, roughly yet with extreme restraint, pinning her against the icy pool wall.

"Ugh!" Jiang Yining groaned as her back hit the pool wall.

Gu Qinghan was like a ferocious beast driven mad, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the glaring dragon seal.

The powerful, icy true essence surged wildly into Jiang Yining's meridians like a flood bursting its banks, flowing from his palm.

That extremely cold power, carrying a destructive ferocity, attempted to wash away and cleanse all the traces of Ao Lin that had remained in her body!

"It hurts... let go..." Jiang Yining couldn't help but cry out in pain.

But this cry of pain did not bring Gu Qinghan back to his senses; instead, it ignited the raging fire of jealousy in his heart.

He forcefully suppressed the sword energy that threatened to shatter the entire Abandoned Star Island, but that possessiveness transformed into the most frenzied plunder.

Gu Qinghan grabbed Jiang Yining's chin, leaned down recklessly, and fiercely sealed her lips with his.

He forcefully took her breath away, domineeringly breaking down her defenses.

Two extreme true energies, pure yang and extreme cold, erupted alternately!

The scalding skin contrasted sharply with the icy pool water. Gu Qinghan attempted to use this extreme and brutal method of dual cultivation to completely erase all traces left by that man, inside and out.

The pool water rippled violently, and water vapor rose from it.

Jiang Yining was so overwhelmed by his frenzied onslaught that she could barely breathe.

She knew very well that if Gu Qinghan continued to act crazy, the two of them would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

A sly glint flashed in her clear, bright eyes.

Jiang Yining pretended to struggle a couple of times, pushing against his hard chest with both hands.

But soon, she softened her body and wrapped her fair arms around Gu Qinghan's neck.

The two engaged in a fierce and transgressive battle in the spirit pool.

Gu Qinghan sensed her proactive response, and the crimson in his eyes intensified, his pulling motion carrying a ruthless punitive intent.

"You touched me while smelling like someone else..."

Gu Qinghan's eyes were bloodshot, and his cold lips followed her earlobe, biting off a deep, bone-revealing frosty mark.
