Zhi Lan's Pregnancy, Dragon Emperor's Wrath (5K)

Douluo Continent, Dragon City, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

It was late autumn, yet Dragon City was filled with a joy even more intense than in the height of summer. The sect was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and everyone wore a genuine smile; even the air was filled with a celebratory atmosphere.

The reason is simple: the Young Sect Master's wife, Ye Zhilan, is pregnant!

This news spread like the gentlest spring breeze, instantly reaching every corner of Dragon City. The entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan revered Yu Yuanchen, the Young Sect Master who had led the sect to unprecedented glory and established the Martial Way system, as a Gods. Now, this Gods was about to have his own bloodline offspring—a joyous occasion not only for Yu Yuanchen's family but also a momentous event for the entire sect!

Inside the Young Sect Master's bedroom, it was warm and cozy. Ye Zhilan leaned against the soft couch, her face radiating the gentle glow and happiness of impending motherhood, her jade-like hand gently resting on her lower abdomen. Yu Yuanchen sat beside the couch, carefully holding her other hand. His usually dignified and profound eyes were now filled with an almost overflowing tenderness and silly smile; where was even a trace of the awe-inspiring "Martial Ancestor" and "Dragon Emperor Douluo" who once shook the continent?

Grandfather Yu Boxuan, father Yu Mingfeng, stepmother Madam Liu, and Ye Zhilan's father Ye Kuan, along with other elders, gathered together, all beaming with joy.

"Good! Good! May Heaven bless my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! May Heaven bless Yuanchen!" Yu Boxuan stroked his beard and laughed heartily, his voice booming, the wrinkles on his face smoothing out. "Our clan's inheritance is promising, Martial Way are flourishing, and with this added joyous event, it is truly a double celebration!"

Yu Mingfeng was overjoyed, patting his son's shoulder forcefully. "Good lad! You finally didn't disappoint your old man! As your father, I finally have hope! You're finally more worthy than your two younger brothers who are still breastfeeding!" His words drew a coquettish reproach from Madam Liu, and everyone burst into laughter.

Ye Kuan was also overjoyed, looking at his daughter and son-in-law with eyes full of satisfaction. "Zhilan is pregnant, she must rest well. Take as many of the nourishing and restorative medicinal herbs from the sect's storeroom as you like, do not be stingy."

Yu Yuanchen nodded with a silly grin, his gaze almost glued to Ye Zhilan, his voice so soft it could melt water. "Zhilan, how are you feeling? Is anything bothering you? What would you like to eat? I'll have someone prepare it."

Ye Zhilan was amused by his cautious manner, and a blush rose on her pale cheeks. She scolded him, "I'm not that delicate. It's only been a month. I'm just a little sleepy and have a poor appetite, which is normal." Looking at her husband's anxious and protective expression, her heart was filled with sweetness. This upright man was, in front of her, just an ordinary husband who was about to become a father.

The family was filled with joy and happiness. Yu Yuanchen was also filled with emotion. He and Ye Zhilan had been married for several years, but due to his long-term seclusion and military campaigns, they had been separated for long periods and had not yet had any children.

Although Soul Master have long lifespans, they are indeed not young anymore. In private, he had even considered asking his father-in-law, Ye Kuan, to prepare some conditioning pills... Now that his wish has finally come true, the excitement and joy in his heart are indescribable. This seems to give him a more fulfilling and happy feeling of Life's completeness than breaking through to Level 99 Titled Douluo.

However, this warm and happy moment was broken by a series of hurried footsteps.

A Cardinal from the Spirit Hall, led by a sect Elder, strode into the hall with a solemn expression, holding a Communication Crystal that was flashing with urgent Soul Power fluctuations.

"Your Dragon Sovereign Your Excellency, urgent report from His Holiness the Pope! From the Demon Plane, to the Demon Quelling City!" The Cardinal knelt on one knee, his voice urgent.

The joyful atmosphere in the hall instantly froze. Yu Yuanchen frowned slightly, took the Communication Crystal, and poured his Soul Power into it. In an instant, Qian Daoliu's chilling voice and the image of the overwhelming demon army Demon Quelling City flooded into his mind!

"... Desperate measures, Demogorgon has used forbidden techniques to create thousands of high-level demons, which, along with tens of thousands of low-level demons, have seized to launch a fierce attack on Demon Quelling City! The city is in grave danger. We earnestly request Brother Yuanchen to return immediately to oversee the defense and slay this villain!"

In the footage, demons surge like a tide, their Demonic Energy overwhelming! Sporadic fighting has already broken out on the walls of Demon Quelling City. Although the casualties are currently small, it is clear to the naked eye that without reinforcements, this battle could result in significant losses for Demon Quelling City!

Yu Yuanchen's face darkened visibly, and his aura instantly turned icy cold! An uncontrollable rage erupted from the depths of his heart!

Of all times! Of all times, it happened right when he learned that Zhilan was pregnant, and the whole family was immersed in immense joy!

Demogorgon! You're asking for it!

Yu Yuanchen had already cursed Demogorgon to the point of tearing him to pieces countless times in his heart! He had finally been able to enjoy a moment of peace with his family and share the joy of becoming a father with his beloved wife, but this damned demon had abruptly interrupted him! This anger was so intense that it almost set him on fire!

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his surging killing intent, and turned to look at Ye Zhilan, his eyes filled with deep guilt and reluctance.

Ye Zhilan was incredibly intelligent; from her husband's expression and the urgent message, she had already guessed what was going on. She gently took Yu Yuanchen's hand, a knowing yet resolute smile appearing on her beautiful face, "Brother Yuanchen, go. Demon Quelling City is more important, the lives of the soldiers are more important. The child and I... will wait for you to come back."

Her voice was gentle, yet carried an undeniable support. She knew the responsibilities her husband bore.

Yu Yuanchen's heart trembled. He gripped his wife's slightly cool hand tightly and nodded emphatically, "Wait for me to come back!" After saying that, he turned around resolutely without the slightest hesitation!

"Grandfather, father, father-in-law, mother, Zhilan... I entrust my care to you all!" Yu Yuanchen bowed solemnly to his elders, then his figure flickered and transformed into a streak of Purple-Gold lightning, tearing through space and disappearing instantly from the hall.

The next moment, his figure appeared above Dragon City. He directly summoned the fully refined divine artifact, "Hell Gate," and poured in a torrent of Soul Power! The portal opened wide, emitting intense spatial fluctuations! Yu Yuanchen stepped inside, his figure vanishing as he used the artifact to traverse an extremely long distance, heading straight for the entrance to the Space Channel Demon Plane located near the Savage Beast Hills!

Almost without pause, Yu Yuanchen reappeared through the Space Channel under the dark red sky of the Demon Plane! A hundred miles ahead, Demon Quelling City stood majestically, but the city was completely surrounded by a massive, dark army of demons!

At a glance, the number of demons was nearly one hundred thousand! Besides the several thousand high-level demon cannon fodder, at least Soul Sage level, that Demogorgon had created with forbidden techniques, there were also seventy to eighty thousand low-level demons that he had dragged along, frantically attacking the city walls like locusts! The defensive barriers of Demon Quelling City flickered violently. On the city walls, human Soul Master were fighting a bloody battle. Although they had temporarily stabilized their position thanks to the advantages of the barriers and their individual strength, there had already been some casualties, and the city walls were covered with mottled bloodstains and scorch marks!

Seeing this scene, especially feeling the blood and the tragic atmosphere of the fallen Soul Master in the air, Yu Yuanchen's suppressed anger finally erupted!

Roar--!

A Dragon Roar that shook the heavens and the earth erupted from Yu Yuanchen's mouth! This time, he no longer used his strong human will to perfectly control the Dragon Bloodline and Thunder Power within him as usual, but completely released the restraints on his "Dragon Nature"!

Tyranny! Fury! Destruction! The Wrath of Thunder that wields divine punishment, and the Dragon Clan's domineering majesty, are unleashed without reservation at this moment!

"Seventh Soul Skill, Thunder Sacred Dragon True Body!"

Boom--!!!

The world paled in comparison! Endless Purple-Gold Lightning erupted from Yu Yuanchen's body, causing his form to swell wildly, instantly transforming into a Thunder Sacred Dragon over five hundred meters long, with ferocious scales, prominent horns, and hundreds of thousands of Destruction lightning serpents Entanglement its body! The massive Dragon Body coiled beneath the dark red sky, emanating a pressure so tangible that it caused the frenzied demon army attacking below to pause in shock!

"Heavenly Tribulation Sacred Dragon Domain! Activate!"

The Thunder Sacred Dragon that Yu Yuanchen had transformed into roared to the sky, and the vast dragon domain, centered on him, expanded instantly like a storm, covering an area of nearly ten kilometers in radius! Within the domain, there were no longer fine Electric Snakes, but rather the violent Lightning Element of heaven and earth were directly drawn in! In an instant, dark clouds gathered, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a terrifying thunderstorm with an extremely wide coverage area suddenly took shape within the domain!

This is not Heavenly Tribulation targeting any individual, but an indiscriminate and Destruction thunderstorm!

"Die!"

Yu Yuanchen eyes were icy cold, devoid of any emotion, and he swung his Dragon Claw claw!

Rumble rumble rumble--!!!

A Lei Tian! Countless bolts of Purple-Gold Lightning, as thick as water vats, poured down like the Milky Way from the heavens, striking precisely the densest horde of demons within the domain!

Sizzle! Boom!

Wherever the lightning struck, the low-level demons couldn't even utter a scream before instantly vaporizing! The high-level demon cannon fodder that was spawned, though powerful, were also unable to withstand Yu Yuanchen's furious attack, which was comparable to the full Peak Demigod! Their demonic bodies twisted, shattered, and finally turned to ashes in the lightning!

In just a few minutes, nearly ten thousand demons, regardless of rank, were wiped out by the thunderstorm! All that remained were charred remains on the ground and the acrid smell of burnt ash mixed with ozone in the air!

This terrifying scene not only terrified the surviving demons, causing them to scatter and flee in all directions, but also left the human Soul Master who were fighting fiercely on the city walls dumbfounded!

"It's His Dragon Sovereign Your Excellency! His Dragon Sovereign Your Excellency has returned!"

"My God... this... is this His Dragon Sovereign Your Excellency's true strength?"

"Incredible! It's like Divine Descent!"

Yu Yuanchen annihilated nearly ten thousand demons with a single strike, but his rage remained unabated. His Dragon Body swayed, like a moving Natural Disaster, as he pounced on another densely populated area of demons, once again unleashing a thunderstorm!

The demon army utterly collapsed! They were cannon fodder, born of forbidden magic and possessing low intelligence, forced to operate solely by Demogorgon's will. Faced with this incomprehensible Destruction power, their instinctive fear overwhelmed everything, and they began to flee in a desperate rout!

"Opportunity! All troops, attack!" On the city wall, Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen, recovering from their shock, immediately seized the opportunity! Qian Daoliu pointed his Angelic Holy Sword, and Tang Chen swung his Clear Sky Hammer, leading the Douluo Alliance, which was seething with anger, like tigers descending the mountain, charging out of the city to beat a drowning dog!

"My goodness... Brother Yuanchen is really angry this time..." Tang Chen exclaimed as he swung his Giant Hammer to smash a high-level demon that was trying to resist. It was the first time he had ever seen Yu Yuanchen so tyrannical and almost Destruction.

Qian Daoliu nodded solemnly, "Demogorgon has crossed his line." His gaze swept across the battlefield, quickly locking onto the vicinity of Yu Yuanchen's massive Dragon Body. He shouted to the Blood Shadow Spider Soul Emperor, who was heavily protected beside him, "Go! We'll approach His Dragon Sovereign Your Excellency and point out Demogorgon's location!"

The two protected the Blood Shadow Spider Soul Emperor, fought their way through, and rushed to Yu Yuanchen's vicinity.

"Brother Yuanchen! That Demogorgon has already fled since he saw you return! Have the Blood Shadow Spider point out the direction and quickly kill this fiend to prevent future troubles!" Qian Daoliu shouted loudly.

The Thunder Sacred Dragon turned its massive head, its icy dragon eyes glancing at the Blood Shadow Spider Soul Emperor. Yu Yuanchen barely suppressed his rampant Dragon Nature, regaining a sliver of clarity. He extended his Dragon Claw claw, and a gentle Thunder Power swept up the Blood Shadow Spider Soul Emperor, placing him beneath one of his enormous dragon scales.

"Give me directions!" Yu Yuanchen's voice boomed like thunder.

Despite enduring the oppressive aura of the Thunder Sacred Dragon's true form at close range, Blood Shadow Spider Soul Emperor unleashed his full power with "Blood Curse Soul Chasing," pointing out the direction in which Demogorgon had fled.

"Go!" Yu Yuanchen didn't delay any longer. With a flick of his Dragon Body, he transformed into a bolt of lightning that tore through the sky and chased after the direction indicated by the Blood Shadow Spider at the maximum speed that the Blood Shadow Spider Soul Emperor could withstand!

The moment Yu Yuanchen appeared and transformed into Thunder Sacred Dragon, Demogorgon was terrified out of his wits. How could he dare to linger? He burned his life force, unleashing the full power of his Shadow Escape Technique as he fled for his life. But his injuries had not yet healed, so how could he outrun Yu Yuanchen, who was pursuing him with rage and at full strength?

After chasing for thousands of miles, deep into a desolate and silent mountain range, Yu Yuanchen finally locked onto the fleeing shadow ahead!

He placed the Blood Shadow Spider Soul Emperor in a relatively safe valley and set up a protective barrier. Then, he turned to look at the Demon King who was trying to merge into the mountain shadow.

"Demogorgon, your death is near!" Yu Yuanchen's voice was icy, his killing intent unwavering! He no longer needed any prisoners, no more intelligence; he only wanted to tear this beast who had disturbed his family reunion and killed his soldiers to pieces!

"Ninth Soul Skill, Nine-Fold Holy Dragon Town Prison Tribulation! Combined!"

Yu Yuanchen formed hand seals, and his Soul Core spun at an unprecedented speed! The nine Purple-Gold Lightning pillars that were originally supposed to appear one after another instantly merged before him! They transformed into a terrifying giant pillar that reached the heavens and the earth, with a diameter of over a hundred feet, and its surface Entanglement with countless profound lightning Thunder Runes! Inside the giant pillar, space completely solidified, and the flow of time slowed to its extreme. The powerful suppression and stagnation completely locked down the space within a radius of several thousand meters!

Just as Demogorgon was about to use his secret technique to escape, he suddenly felt a tightness all over his body, as if he had fallen into an invisible steel swamp, and even his thinking became sluggish! He was horrified to discover that his most relied-upon Shadow Escape Technique had completely failed!

"No! Yu Yuanchen! Spare me! I will submit..." Demogorgon cried out in despair.

The answer it received was Yu Yuanchen's merciless and strongest strike!

"Dragon King's Judgment! Tenfold— Thunder Spear Punishes Evil!"

Yu Yuanchen poured all his anger, killing intent, and longing for his family into this attack! A Purple-Gold Lightning spear, refined to its extreme and Entanglement Nirvana black lightning, instantly traversed space, piercing through all of Demogorgon's desperately constructed defenses with unparalleled precision, and nailing itself into its Demon Core!

Boom--!!!!

A terrifying Thunder Power erupted from within, Shadow Demon King Demogorgon, the last king of the Demon Plane, was annihilated in endless resentment and fear!

Yu Yuanchen waved his hand to collect the remaining traces of the Origin Crystal from Demogorgon (which might be useful), and without even glancing at the annihilated Demonic Energy, he turned around and returned to Demon Quelling City with the Blood Shadow Spider Soul Emperor.

With their leader killed, the high-ranking demons, whose intelligence was already low due to the forbidden technique, were left like headless flies. Under the pursuit of the Douluo Coalition Army, they suffered heavy casualties, and the remnants scattered and fled into the vast wilderness, never to rise again.

When Yu Yuanchen returned to Demon Quelling City, the battle was nearing its end. The city's defenses were solid, and the Coalition Army were mopping up the remaining enemies.

He landed on the city wall, transformed into human form, his face still cold. Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen came to greet him.

"Brother Yuanchen, Demogorgon..." Qian Daoliu asked.

"He has been executed." Yu Yuanchen said succinctly.

The two breathed a sigh of relief, and Tang Chen smiled, "Now it's peaceful! By the way, Brother Yuanchen, why did you come in such a hurry this time? And why are you leaving in such a rush? Is there something urgent on the mainland?"

Yu Yuanchen glanced at them, the frost on his face melting slightly, revealing a complex expression that couldn't be concealed, a mixture of apology and joy. He said softly, "Zhilan... is pregnant. I just found out and I'm at home."

Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen were stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was going on, their faces showing a mixture of embarrassment and guilt, since they were actually partly responsible for this incident.

"I see! Congratulations, Brother Yuanchen!" The two quickly offered their congratulations, and at the same time understood why Yu Yuanchen was so furious. This Demogorgon had really walked right into a trap!

"With the matter settled here and the Demon King eliminated, the remaining demons are no longer a threat. I'll trouble you two brothers to handle the aftermath. I'll be returning to the mainland now." Yu Yuanchen was eager to return home. After giving a few hurried instructions, he reopened the Hell Gate, stepped inside, and disappeared into the ripples of space.

He came quickly and left quickly, like a thunderbolt that arrived and vanished in an instant.

Bo Saixi also came over at this moment, looking in the direction where Yu Yuanchen had disappeared, a hint of doubt in her beautiful eyes. "Brother Qian, Brother Tang, His Dragon Sovereign Your Excellency... why is he in such a hurry? Could it be that something has happened on the continent?"

Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen exchanged a glance, both smiling. Tang Chen chuckled and lowered his voice, saying, "Saintess Bo Saixi, the mainland is fine, but Yuanchen has 'big news'! His wife, Ye Zhilan, is pregnant! He was just overjoyed at home when we dragged him here with this urgent report. How could he not be anxious? It's already a testament to his restraint that he hasn't turned the Demon Plane upside down!"

Upon hearing this, Bo Saixi was taken aback at first, then smiled, a knowing smile blooming on her beautiful face, "I see... It is indeed a joyous occasion, but also an 'urgent matter.' No wonder His Dragon Sovereign Your Excellency was like that just now." She looked in the direction where Yu Yuanchen had left, a hint of tenderness and blessing flashing in her eyes.

The siege of Demon Quelling City has been lifted, the Demon King has been defeated, and the crisis has been completely resolved. In Dragon City, the joy and warmth that had just been interrupted by the battle report awaits the return of its master.

Yu Yuanchen was eager to return home, and he traversed the Planar Passage even faster than he had come. The anger he felt towards Demogorgon had dissipated with Demogorgon's annihilation, replaced by an eagerness and tenderness at the prospect of seeing his wife again and sharing their joy.

Thunder vanquished the demons, and they returned in triumph. But for Yu Yuanchen, the warmth of family life that was about to arrive was far more anticipated than any glorious victory.
