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

"Chu Jinglan, you despicable and shameless hypocrite! You even went so far as to sleep with your mortal enemy's woman!"

Ye Wuhen broke the silence first, pointing at Chu Jinglan and laughing angrily.

What angered him was not how many men Jiang Yining had, but that he had been tricked by this woman!

How could he, the mighty Demon Lord, take in the women and children of his two mortal enemies? If word got out, how could he ever face anyone in the Demon Realm again?

"Likewise," Chu Jinglan adjusted his glasses, his tone flat. "My queen has also become the Demon Lord's 'pet,' hasn't she?"

Ji Lingxiao did not participate in this war of words.

He simply stared coldly at Jiang Yining, his icy blue eyes swirling with a fierce, turbulent energy.

He just wants to figure out one thing right now.

Is that little swordsman who looks exactly like him actually his child?

"Go ahead and fight! Neither of you are leaving here today!"

Ye Wuhen roared and flicked his whip, causing countless blood-red shadows to transform into venomous snakes that attacked Chu Jinglan and Ji Lingxiao respectively.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Chu Jinglan chuckled lightly, and with a wave of his sleeve, a golden scroll appeared out of thin air. As the pages turned, large golden seal characters flew out, transforming into swords, spears, and halberds, meeting the blood-red shadows that filled the sky.

"Boring." Ji Lingxiao simply uttered two words, and with a flick of his Frost Cold Ancient Sword, a pure and extreme sword light swept out, freezing all the blood shadows that approached him instantly, and then shattering into ice crystals.

boom!

Three of the world's top experts began fighting in the skies above the Demon Realm.

Sword light, demonic energy, and righteous energy—three completely different forces collided and eroded each other, creating an energy storm.

This caused towering waves to surge up in the blood lake below, and the surrounding mountains collapsed in large sections.

All the cultivators who sensed this fluctuation in the direction of Zhenyao Pass trembled in fear.

What level of battle is this?

Jiang Yining, who was at the center of the storm, immediately grabbed her two babies and quickly hid behind a huge rock.

She handed Erbao, who was still curiously watching the "fireworks" in the sky, to the maid who had been waiting there.

"Keep an eye on him. No matter what happens, don't let him come out."

After saying that, she took out the "Concealing Breath Bead" from her sleeve and swallowed it in one gulp.

As soon as the bead entered her stomach, her entire being, including her vital signs, vanished without a trace, as if she had never existed at all.

Having done all this, she moved like a nimble raccoon, taking advantage of the chaos and dust caused by the three-way battle, and silently slipped into the still churning lake of blood.

The Divine Tree of Myriad Spirits sent out a signal of longing from her dantian.

[Quick! Now! His entire focus is on the outside! The blood pool's defenses are at their weakest!]

Jiang Yining plunged headfirst into the icy lake water.

The lake was filled with violent demonic energy and bloodthirsty power, enough to instantly corrode a Golden Core cultivator into bones. However, Jiang Yining was covered by a faint green light membrane.

That was the primordial power of the Myriad Spirits Divine Tree, which kept all demonic energy at bay.

Following the guidance of the sacred tree, she descended deeper and deeper.

The lake of blood was much deeper than she had imagined.

The deeper you go, the denser the demonic energy becomes, and the greater the pressure.

Finally, at the deepest part of the lake, she saw a huge altar made of countless bones.

In the center of the altar, there was a fist-sized depression filled with a pool of purplish-black liquid.

The liquid was still pulsating slightly, like a beating heart.

[This is it! The Demonic Blood of the Heart! That madman Ye Wuhen actually placed his own life essence here to nurture it!]

Shenmu's voice was filled with greed.

Beside that pool of heart's blood, a palm-sized lotus flower, entirely black, radiates an eerie purple light.

On the lotus petals, it seemed as if countless painful faces were twisting and wailing.

[The Heavenly Demon Acacia Flower! My God! It's something that only exists in legends! It's a sacred object born alongside the Chaos Demon Body! Quick! Pick it too! With it, Sanbao's talent will absolutely be divine among divine!]

Jiang Yining no longer hesitated.

She took out a specially made jade box from her storage bag, carefully uprooted the Heavenly Demon Albizia flower, and placed it inside.

Then, she took out a jade bottle, intending to collect the pool of demonic blood from her heart.

However, just as her jade bottle was about to touch the purplish-black liquid...

A sudden change has occurred!

Suddenly, the demonic blood in his heart boiled violently, turning into a blood arrow that shot towards Jiang Yining's brow!

It seems to want to retaliate! It wants to invade Jiang Yining's body!

"Oh no!" Jiang Yining exclaimed in alarm, but it was too late to dodge.

The arrow of blood was about to pierce her brow.

"Buzz—"

Suddenly, the Myriad Spirits Divine Tree in her dantian burst forth with a dazzling green light.

A thick, almost solid root suddenly emerged from between her eyebrows, like a nimble tentacle, and swallowed the spurt of blood in one gulp!

Gudong.

Shenmu let out a burp.

An even more violent and chaotic energy spread throughout Jiang Yining's limbs and bones!

That energy was half pure life essence and half chaotic demonic energy that could destroy everything.

Two completely different forces were clashing and tearing at her meridians within her body.

"puff--"

Jiang Yining coughed up a mouthful of blood on the spot, feeling as if her body was about to burst.

[It's done! It's done! Chaotic Demon Body! Hahaha!]

Shenmu, however, was dancing with excitement in her mind.

While frantically absorbing that energy, it rapidly constructed a new "nurturing space" within Jiang Yining's uterus.

Jiang Yining was suffering from the excruciating pain of her meridians feeling like they were about to burst, while also having to suppress the restlessness of the divine tree. It was an unbearable ordeal.

With her last ounce of strength, she put away the jade bottle and turned to leave.

But just then...

The battle in the sky seemed to have reached a temporary conclusion.

boom!

A loud bang.

A figure, like a kite with a broken string, fell from the sky and landed squarely on the blood lake where Jiang Yining was.

The figure was dressed in white, and tightly gripped an ancient sword broken in two.

It's Ji Lingxiao!

He seemed to be at a disadvantage in a two-on-one situation!

Just as he was falling, Chu Jinglan's voice from the sky also carried a hint of urgency.

"Night Without Trace! You're insane! That move will destroy the entire Demon Realm!"

Immediately afterwards, an even more powerful aura of destruction descended from the sky.

Ye Wuhen seems to have used some kind of forbidden technique!

Jiang Yining, who was at the bottom of the lake, felt the powerful pressure and her face turned pale.

Her physical condition is extremely poor, and she is unable to escape at all.

At this critical juncture of life and death.

"Mother!"

A small figure, carrying a resolute sword intent, broke through the barrier of the lake and came to her.

It's Jiang Lei!

He saw the blood at the corner of his mother's mouth, and then he saw the seriously injured and unconscious man in white beside her. His purple-gold eyes instantly turned red.

Subconsciously, I thought that it was this man in white who had injured my mother.

"You bad person! You're not allowed to bully my mother!"

He raised the black iron sword in his hand and, with all his might, slashed it down fiercely at his unconscious father!
