This was the depths of the secret realm, within a valley where spiritual energy brimmed in abundance, like an Immortal Realm.
Most eye-catching of all were the ruby-like fruits here. They emitted Dragon Qi, with streaks of Dragon Shadow floating around them. They were called Dragon Blood Bodhi, and even the prodigies of top-tier forces found them irresistibly alluring.
At this moment, countless prodigies had gathered here. Strangely enough, not a single one fought to claim them. With treasures like these, a great battle should have erupted long ago.
That was because there was a prodigy here at this moment.
Cang Jundao!
"Hehe, Demoness of the Joyous Union Sect, who would have thought you would have a day like this!"
"Such a beauty—if she were to fall here, that would truly be a pity."
"Sacred Son Jundao's strength truly is extraordinary."
Voices rang out one after another as their gazes turned toward the center of the valley.
Boom!
The fluctuations of battle erupted at this moment, shaking the void.
It was a woman with limpid, soul-stealing eyes, vivid red lips, and exquisitely perfect features. Her slender willow waist could be encircled in one grasp, while her flawless, fair legs and revealing attire gave off an alluring, seductive aura.
"What rotten luck!"
The bewitching voice belonged to the Demoness, Yu Linglong. She was fighting Cang Jundao.
Her curvaceous figure rose and fell beneath her fluttering crimson dress, beautiful enough to stir the soul. Yet she was injured, blood trickling from the corner of her lips.
Though Yu Linglong was powerful, she was still no match for Cang Jundao. The gap between them was simply too great.
Handsome and refined, like a Banished Immortal, his black hair gleamed with a lustrous sheen. He stood tall and erect, heroic and imposing, dressed in white. Several powers of law coiled around him, dazzling beyond compare, while his eyes were as profound as the stars.
Cang Jundao stood in the void, looking down at Yu Linglong.
"Hehe... Demoness, if you are willing to serve me, I may consider sparing your life!"
A trace of lewdness surfaced on his handsome face. Even someone like Cang Jundao had to admit that the Demoness before him was peerlessly gorgeous.
His gaze grew fiery. Treasures and beauties shared alike—what greater joy could there be?
"That's right. Being able to serve Sacred Son Jundao is your honor!"
Voices sounded from nearby. They belonged to Cang Jundao's followers, their gazes laden with meaning.
"Sacred Son Jundao is destined to ascend the Imperial Throne in the future. The chance to follow him does not come often!"
Quite a few surrounding prodigies also laughed, their eyes filled with envy.
The Demoness's name was well-known throughout the Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain. Of course, it was not because of her strength, but because of her appearance. She was not inferior to Saintess Mingyue in the slightest; the two could stand side by side.
It was said that although Yu Linglong was the Saintess of the Joyous Union Sect, she had never had relations with any man over the years.
Now that this Demoness was about to fall into Sacred Son Jundao's hands, the people around them could only envy her without daring to entertain any further thoughts. After all, compared to a beauty, their own lives were far more important.
"Hehe... I already belong to that Imperial Son of the Primordial Forbidden Zone. You want me to follow you? You are not worthy!"
Her red lips parted slightly, revealing bright eyes and pearly teeth. The Demoness smiled sweetly as blood dripped from the corner of her mouth. Her crimson robes became ever more scarlet, as bewitching as a blooming rose...
At that moment, a voice drifted over from afar.
"Don't slander me. I never did anything to you..."
As the voice fell, the person arrived!
Boom!
The void trembled. Two figures appeared, and the speaker was none other than Ye Ming and Liu Mingyue.
Tall and slender, with a handsome face and jade-like skin, Ye Ming wore a black robe. His pupils were sharp, Demonic Mist surging with his gaze. The aura casually spilling from his body made the surrounding void tremble violently.
Ye Ming stood in the void, dazzling radiance enveloping him and making him shine brilliantly.
"Imperial Son... hurry and save me!"
The instant Yu Linglong saw Ye Ming, she froze for a moment. Perhaps even she had not expected him to appear here.
At this moment, a seductive voice rang out high in the sky. Her violet-hazed eyes were misty as she looked at Ye Ming, Yu Linglong putting on a pitifully charming act...
With Ye Ming's arrival, the valley erupted into an uproar, from heaven to earth, inside and out. Other than Cang Jundao's followers, countless prodigies were present.
Gazes turned toward Ye Ming, sizing him up...
"Heh... so this is the Imperial Son of the Primordial Forbidden Zone? He does not seem like much!"
A voice rang out, filled with disdain and mockery.
"Hmph... with Sacred Son Jundao here, if he knows better than to meddle and turns around to leave, his life can naturally be spared. But if he dares to harbor any other thoughts, he can stay here forever!"
"That's right. He only killed a Flying Immortal Sacred Son—does he really think he is something special?"
Mocking voices rose one after another. They came from Cang Jundao's followers.
Naturally, they knew of the relationship between the Ancient Dao Sect and the Primordial Forbidden Zone. They were making their loyalties known at this moment. The more viciously they mocked Ye Ming, the more likely Sacred Son Jundao would be to spare them a second glance...
"So you are the Imperial Son of the Primordial Forbidden Zone?"
"Very good. Aside from the treasures within the Supreme Secret Realm, the purpose of my descent from the mountain this time was to deal with you along the way!"
"Do not resist. Resistance is futile. Just obediently accept your death. I will let you understand the gap between you and me!"
Cang Jundao's voice was cold and lofty as he looked down on Ye Ming. He was incomparably arrogant, like a true dragon gazing down upon the ants on the ground.
"Sacred Son Jundao's strength is naturally beyond question."
"That's right. All along the way, Sacred Son Jundao resolved every so-called danger with a single sword."
"Though this Imperial Son is powerful, there is still a gap between him and Sacred Son Jundao!"
At this moment, the voices of countless surrounding prodigies rose as well. After what they had witnessed along the way, they had no choice but to admit it.
The three words Cang Jundao represented invincibility among the prodigies of this generation—supreme among his peers.
Even some prodigies with long-standing reputations could not withstand a single move from Cang Jundao. No one knew how terrifying his true strength was, nor had anyone ever forced him to go all out.
Each time he made a slight move, he was already at the pinnacle of his realm.
At this moment, most of the prodigies inside and outside the valley believed that Ye Ming still could not compare to Cang Jundao.
Facing everyone's doubts, Ye Ming merely gave a cold smile.
"Hehe... ever since entering this secret realm, the one This Imperial Son has been looking for was you!"
His black hair fluttered like ink as Ye Ming spoke calmly, his aura changing.
His body was shrouded in endless Demonic Mist. His pupils were pitch-black, sharp and intimidating, while the aura casually spilling from him made the surrounding void tremble violently.
He smiled as he looked at Cang Jundao, as though he were looking at food.
Because his Primordial Demonic Body was hungry. It wanted to devour. The stronger the prodigy, the more they could fill Ye Ming's Demonic Body...
