Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress-Chapter 126

Chapter 126 - I’ll Only Give You One Chance

"Mm...!"

Luo Ruying, her eyes reddened, looked at Ning Yechen and nodded solemnly.

It was strange. Even though she was once the Heavenly Empress and still possessed the cultivation of the Heaven Human Realm, she felt a sense of reassurance under the touch of his hand...

"My wife, I’m going out to find some medicinal herbs. I’ll be back soon."

Ning Yechen gently stroked Luo Hongye on the bed once more, then got up to leave.

"Husband, what medicinal herbs do you need?"

"Let me go!"

Luo Ruying also stood up and offered.

Her cultivation was higher, so she could gather the necessary herbs faster.

Even if they weren’t available in the city, she could fly into the Demonic Beast Forest or other cities to search for them.

"Wife, the herbs I need are quite rare. You might not recognize them, so let your husband handle this."

"Ye Ye needs you by her side right now."

Ning Yechen said with a gentle smile.

He knew Luo Ruying wanted to prepare the herbs herself as quickly as possible, but whether it was the sap from the ancient celestial spirit tree or the pure demonic energy crystals, he would need to travel to the Heavenly Realm and the Demon Realm.

With Luo Ruying’s current remaining cultivation, she couldn’t reach either realm...

Even if she could, he couldn’t tell her about it...

Hearing Ning Yechen’s words, Luo Ruying looked back at Luo Hongye, who was lying weakly on the bed. Ultimately, she couldn’t bear to leave her child’s side.

She could only nod helplessly, entrusting the task of preparing the herbs to Ning Yechen.

"Then be careful on your way, husband. Go and come back quickly..."

"Yes! My wife, just wait for me at home with peace of mind."

"Your husband will be back soon!"

Ning Yechen smiled gently and turned to leave the room.

Once he was far enough away, Ning Yechen’s expression turned serious. With a light tap of his toe, he transformed into a divine rainbow, soaring into the sky in an instant!

***

Heavenly Realm, Southern Astral Domain

A jet-black, dark purple divine rainbow pierced through the Ascension Gate, streaking across the Heavenly Realm’s sky like a meteor!

The guards stationed at the Southern Astral Domain’s Ascension Gate hadn’t even grasped what was happening when the black rainbow vanished before their eyes without a trace...

They didn’t even catch a glimpse of the figure’s face...

But the terrifying and sharp demonic aura was unmistakable, sending chills down their spines!

Undoubtedly, someone from the Demon Realm had forcefully intruded into the Heavenly Realm!

The guards, finally reacting, immediately sounded the Heavenly Gate Bell!

"Dong~ Dong~ Dong~!"

The ethereal and resounding bell echoed throughout the entire Southern Astral Domain, lingering for a long time.

All the major powers and immortals within the Southern Astral Domain heard the loud bell, signifying a demonic invasion. They all looked up towards the sky.

Demonic invasion?!

Who dares to trespass into the Heavenly Realm?!

Everyone in the Southern Astral Domain couldn’t help but wonder.

Apart from the recent rumors of the Demon Lord’s reappearance in the Far East Immortal Domain, the last time the Demon Clan intruded into the Heavenly Realm was during the Heavenly-Demon War over a hundred years ago...

Regardless, a demon trespassing into the Heavenly Realm was a blatant provocation!

It absolutely could not be tolerated!

They couldn’t allow demons to run rampant in the Heavenly Realm!

People from the Southern Astral Domain took to the skies, searching every corner for the demon who had intruded!

Soon, someone discovered Ning Yechen’s trace and transformed into divine rainbows, giving chase.

"There!"

"Chase! Catch him!"

"No... He’s too fast!"

"We can’t keep up!"

"That speed, at least an Immortal Venerable level cultivation, right?!"

"I think it’s probably even higher..."

The cultivators of the Southern Astral Domain tried to pursue Ning Yechen, but the dark rainbow vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving them unable to even catch a glimpse of his clothes...

Ning Yechen was in a hurry to find the ancient celestial spirit tree and had no time to deal with these people.

However, some reckless individuals still dared to block his path.

Penglai Fusheng, the Island Lord of Penglai Immortal Island, one of the nine major powers in the Heavenly Realm, led the various island lords of the Southern Astral Domain and the elders of Penglai Immortal Island to gather and intercept him.

"Which lowly scoundrel from the Demon Realm dares to trespass into our Southern Astral Domain!"

"Show yourself and surrender immediately!"

Penglai Fusheng stood in mid-air, throwing a celestial sword from his hand!

The sword transformed into a swift sword beam, as fast as lightning. The void of the Heavenly Realm was sliced open by the sword light, creating a slight crack!

The sword beam shot straight towards Ning Yechen!

The people surrounding Penglai Fusheng all had relaxed and arrogant expressions.

Penglai Fusheng, the Island Lord of Penglai Immortal Island, was the number one Immortal in the Southern Astral Domain. His cultivation had reached the Immortal Emperor realm a thousand years ago!

With him taking action, capturing a mere demon should be a piece of cake, right?

Moreover, there were several other island lords and elders present whose cultivation and strength were no less than Penglai Fusheng’s.

This gathering represented the pinnacle of power in the Southern Astral Domain!

Just as everyone was wondering if the intruder would be killed by Penglai Fusheng’s sword, they saw the powerful sword beam firmly caught between two slender fingers!

Everyone’s expressions changed instantly, their faces filled with shock.

Even though Penglai Fusheng might not have used his full strength, the power of that sword strike was enough to split heaven and earth!

He had effortlessly caught the sword!

Penglai Fusheng couldn’t help but frown slightly.

Under the bewildered and shocked gazes of the crowd, Ning Yechen slowly stepped out from the demonic mist that enveloped him, revealing his true face.

Ning Yechen’s expression was cold as he looked at Penglai Fusheng and the others. He exerted a slight force with his two fingers, and with a clear "snap," the celestial sword was broken in half!

With his bare hand, he caught the broken celestial sword and, with a gentle squeeze, crushed it into dust!

Penglai Fusheng and the others stared blankly at Ning Yechen, their expressions shifting from initial arrogance to shock, and then from shock to fear...

Although his appearance was slightly different from the complete form of the Demon Lord they had seen over a hundred years ago, there was no doubt that the man before them was the Supreme Ruler of the Demon Realm!!!

His cold and arrogant eyes, showing disdain for everything, and his imposing aura that seemed to look down upon all beings, reawakened the fear they had felt when they encountered him over a century ago!

Why has this God of Slaughter come to the Heavenly Realm again?!

Didn’t he just visit the Far East Immortal Domain recently?!

What is he doing in our Southern Astral Domain now...?

Some people in the Southern Astral Domain, upon seeing Ning Yechen, felt their pupils dilate and their legs weaken, trembling uncontrollably...

"Hmph... Lowly scoundrel, it’s been a long time since anyone has addressed this Venerable One in such a manner."

Ning Yechen’s lips curled into a cold smile, his eyes fixed on Penglai Fusheng and the others.

"It seems you all have a lot of courage?"

"Are you... planning to obstruct this Venerable One?"

"I’ll only give you one chance."

"Answer me!"

The mere weight of his few words, spoken calmly, was enough to silence the dozens of Immortal Emperors gathered there, representing the strongest in the Southern Astral Domain. No one dared to utter a word...

"Island Lord Penglai, uh... I suddenly remembered that the coal in my house is still burning. I need to rush back home..."

"Farewell!"

Another island lord of the Southern Astral Domain, drenched in sweat, didn’t hesitate for long. He hastily cupped his hands towards Penglai Fusheng and then fled from the scene at full speed...

The others: "..."

Everyone stared blankly at the fleeing figure, inwardly cursing.

Damn it...!

Who burns coal in the Heavenly Realm?!

If he wanted to run away, he should have at least come up with a better excuse!
