Covering the Sky: I am Donghuang Taiyi

But each one was draped in a veil, their curves blurred, half-hidden, alluring and seductive.

They had absolutely no scruples.

"Your Highness, that scoundrel Taoist priest, although he has a bad reputation, frequently robs the graves of powerful figures from various factions, and everyone hates him..."

Qin Yao reminded Yan Ruyu, "But I heard that back in the primitive ruins, he was thrown into the Demon Emperor's Yin Tomb by various forces, but he escaped death and came out alive!"

"Hmm, to be able to escape unscathed from such a deadly situation is indeed quite remarkable!"

Taiyi, disguised as Duan De, arrived here under the guidance of the demon race.

I met this woman who is widely recognized as the most beautiful woman in the demon race.

Petals fluttered in the air, her white robes billowed, her figure was like a jade tree, her eyes were like autumn water, and her beauty was unparalleled.

With autumn water as her spirit and jade as her bones, she is like a peerless beauty who stepped out of a painting, her beauty beyond compare.

She truly lives up to her reputation as having a beautiful face.

"Amitabha Buddha, I am Duan De, and I greet Fairy Yan!" Duan De was initially somewhat amazed, but his eyes quickly regained their clarity, and he bowed with a smile.

Qin Yao, who was standing next to Yan Ruyu, asked bluntly, "What brings you here, Daoist Master?"

"This humble Taoist has come seeking a few drops of the Demon Emperor's essence blood; I humbly request that Fairy Yan grant my request!"

"Duan De" had a thick skin and said with a smirk.

Yan Ruyu spoke calmly: "Daoist, you jest. The essence blood of the Demon Emperor is so precious, how could it be given away so easily, especially to a human!"

"I've heard that the demon race has been secretly searching for a sacred artifact that can nurture the heart of the Demon Emperor. This humble Taoist can find it for Your Highness..."

Duan De's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was full of confidence as he said, "But the condition is that Your Highness can grant me three drops of the Demon Emperor's essence blood!"

"The Taoist priest is quite well-informed..."

Upon hearing this—

Yan Ruyu's almond-shaped eyes narrowed.

He stared intently at "Duan De" in front of him.

Despite their demon clan's clan's clandestine actions, the enemy still managed to find out.

"What?" Qin Yao and the other demons couldn't help but change their expressions slightly.

He stared at the fat Taoist priest in front of him with hostility, revealing a chilling murderous intent, as if he would attack immediately if Yan Ruyu gave the order.

But Duan De smiled, as if he had something to rely on, and showed no sign of panic.

He stared directly at Yan Ruyu, waiting for her response.

"Do not be nervous……"

Yan Ruyu waved her hand gently.

She was stunningly beautiful and had a graceful, captivating figure.

His eyes were like water as he gazed at "Duan De". Suddenly, a light smile appeared on his face, and he said bluntly, "Alright, as long as you can find the sacred artifact for me, I can give you a drop of the Demon Emperor's essence blood!"

"One drop? That's far too little!"

"The essence blood of the Demon Emperor is extremely rare and precious, its value immeasurable. I can only give you a drop, Daoist Master, please don't be too greedy!" Yan Ruyu said calmly.

The fat Taoist priest in front of us has a mysterious and astonishing background.

He had offended many forces by robbing the tombs of the sages of various sects in the southern region of the Eastern Wilderness, and was even hunted down by those famous and powerful figures.

Yet, he always manages to escape death, turn danger into safety, and get away unharmed.

The method is indeed quite extraordinary; it might actually help her find a sacred artifact that can nurture the heart of a demon emperor.

"Fine, one drop is better than nothing!"

After some haggling.

Ultimately, he couldn't get Yan Ruyu to agree, and Taiyi, disguised as Duan De, pretended to ponder before reluctantly giving in.

With a flourish of his Taoist robe sleeves and a broad smile, he said, "Then, fairy, please wait for my good news!"

"Then we'll wait patiently for good news!"

Yan Ruyu nodded.

They didn't try to stop them and simply saw them off.

Clad in flowing white robes, he flew towards the depths of the Xuan Yuan Sect: "Taoist Master, please take care, we won't see you off!"

Chapter 80 The Suppressed Imperial Heart, The Ji Family's Attack

"Princess, that unscrupulous Taoist priest has arrived, and he brought someone with him... He said he's bringing us a suitable 'sacred artifact'!" A moment later.

half a month later.

A maidservant hurried over and reported to Yan Ruyu.

"Oh?" A hint of surprise appeared on Yan Ruyu's beautiful, flawless face. "Bring them over!"

"It's you?"

After Duan De and Ye Fan were brought in.

Yan Ruyu was filled with surprise as she looked at the somewhat familiar young man.

"You are Princess Yan Ruyu of the demon race?"

Ye Fan stared in utter shock at the woman who seemed almost unreal, as if she had stepped out of a painting.

"Damn it, you fatso, let me go..." He tried to struggle, but Taiyi, who had transformed into Duan De, had his magic power sealed beforehand, so he couldn't "escape" and shouted, "How is Pang Bo?"

"He's fine...you don't need to worry!"

Her beautiful eyes blinked.

Yan Ruyu didn't want to say more.

She looked at "Duan De" with a puzzled expression: "Master Duan, why did you bring him here?"

"Your Highness, he is the legendary Ancient Holy Body..."

Taiyi, disguised as Duan De, said with a smile, "Moreover, he once consumed the sacred fruit of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land and has already cultivated to the Life Spring Realm. His precious body is solid and immortal, and his vitality is far beyond that of ordinary people. It is enough to help you nurture the Emperor's Heart!"

"what?"

"Ancient Sacred Body?"

It's not just about her beautiful face.

Even Qin Yao and the other demons were filled with shock.

Staring in astonishment at Ye Fan, whose magical power was imprisoned and who was unable to struggle, they could hardly believe it.

Several elderly women couldn't wait any longer and stepped forward to investigate.

They discovered that Ye Fan's sea of ​​suffering was as tough as iron, his body was incredibly strong, and his blood and qi were like those of a dragon.

It's absolutely terrifying.

"It really is the Ancient Sacred Body..."

An old woman smiled and said to Yan Ruyu, "Your Highness, he is indeed the only one who can nurture the Emperor's heart!"

Another old woman frowned slightly, with concern: "However, her cultivation level is still a bit low..."

"That's alright. The Ancient Sacred Body isn't incapable of cultivation; it's just that the Sea of ​​Bitterness is difficult to open, requiring an enormous amount of resources. Each breakthrough requires ten times the resources of the previous one. Moreover, some sages have predicted that they cannot break through the Four Extremes Secret Realm. If they force a breakthrough, they may encounter some unpredictable calamity..."

Taiyi transforms into "Duan De".

Pointing to the imprisoned Ye Fan, he smiled and said to Yan Ruyu, "This kid once consumed the sacred fruit of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. His Sea of ​​Bitterness has already been activated, allowing him to successfully open it and embark on the path of cultivation. He has fortunately taken his first step!"

"In the first two secret realms, the Holy Body will not encounter any bottlenecks. As long as there is a source or rare and precious materials to support their cultivation, they can break through in the shortest amount of time. Normally, they will not encounter any difficulties before the Four Extreme Secret Realms. As a 'Holy Artifact', it is definitely enough!"

"Your demon race could easily provide some resources to help them cultivate to the Divine Bridge or the Other Shore, which would better nurture their Emperor Heart. In any case, they can't escape your control!"

"Oh? I see..."

"It seems that the rumors circulating outside that the Ancient Sacred Body cannot cultivate are just a misconception!"

Hearing Duan De say that...

It wasn't just the demons present who suddenly realized the truth.

Even Yan Ruyu herself was astonished.

“I think it might be a bit painful for you to support a Saint Body at the fourth or fifth level of the Dao Palace realm, but I think you should be willing to give up the resources for a mere Divine Bridge or Other Shore realm, right?”

As long as the plan proceeds smoothly.

Taiyi wouldn't mind helping Ye Fan out and tricking the demon race again.

In any case, you can provide the resources for the other party's cultivation breakthrough without having to provide them yourself.

"That's natural..."

Yan Ruyu gazed at Ye Fan and nodded gently.

She could easily provide the resources needed to help the other party break through to the Divine Bridge Realm or the Other Shore Realm.

“Then, Your Highness, our agreement…” Duan De rubbed his hands together.

"I will naturally keep my promise to you!"

Yan Ruyu raised her right hand slightly.

With a flick of her delicate hand, a flash of light appeared.

A fist-sized crystal emerged, shining brightly in his fair palm.

At the center of the crystal is a drop of bright red blood, shimmering with golden luster, sealed inside, radiating an incomparably vigorous vitality, with a faint, powerful life force vibrating within.

"This is the Demon Emperor's Holy Blood that you need, Daoist Master. Although you didn't find the forbidden artifact we mentioned, the young man you attracted can indeed be called a treasure body. It's barely acceptable to use it in exchange!"

Yan Ruyu presented the Demon Emperor's essence blood to the somewhat excited Duan De.

"This is the essence blood of the Demon Emperor?" Ye Fan was shocked.

I felt a surge of excitement if their plan went smoothly.
