Yin-Yang Secret Realm.
Dong Wanggong summoned the Myriad Heavens Celebration Cloud, suspending it above Ying Long's head.
In an instant, gentle Righteous Qi surged forth, flowing toward the countless Heavenly Dao Shackles on her body and purifying her Karmic Retribution and Tribulation Inauspicious Qi.
"Twelve-Petal Pure World White Lotus, appear!"
"I am skilled at nurturing Righteous Qi!"
Dong Wanggong circulated his magic power. The Twelve-Petal Pure World White Lotus manifested the Pure Law, working together with the Myriad Heavens Celebration Cloud to dissolve the Heavenly Dao Shackles.
Within the void, strange phenomena appeared one after another.
Countless phantom figures shimmered with holy light, as if summoned. They surged into Ying Long's Great Luo Three Flowers, one after another, severing the Heavenly Dao Shackles entwined around her soul and Dao Heart.
Time passed. In the blink of an eye, a hundred years went by.
Suddenly, a muffled boom came from within Ying Long. Her vast, overwhelming aura was unmatched, tearing through space and stirring countless Chaos Qi Flows.
"This emperor has finally recovered her cultivation! What a pity that in the battle during the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, my Dragon Clan suffered almost total casualties. Even Candle Dragon turned into a skeleton and became the Dragon Emperor Sword in my hand!"
"Ancestor Dragon's whereabouts are unknown. The remaining members of the Dragon Clan are suppressing the East Sea Spring Eye and must also endure Heaven's punishment, doomed to a tragic end!"
Ying Long sighed deeply, feeling the power within her.
At this moment, she had reached her peak.
Even her Time Law had reached Great Accomplishment, matching her Late Quasi-Saint cultivation.
"This emperor has already helped you dissolve the Heavenly Dao Shackles. But there are many members of the Dragon Clan, and only merit can repay their karmic debt, so I can't act rashly."
"However, in at most tens of thousands of years, I'll give the Dragon Clan an opportunity to repay the sins of the past and rise once more to the pinnacle of the Myriad Races of the Primordial World!"
Dong Wanggong spoke softly, drawing Ying Long into his arms.
An empress, outstanding in every way!
At his words, Ying Long nodded slightly, then kissed Dong Wanggong, her little tongue nimble as she took all she could.
"This emperor will show you what I'm capable of!"
A smile tugged at his lips as Dong Wanggong passed the Great Dao Yin-Yang Art to Ying Long.
In just a few thousand years, he had already brought Nuwa into his harem.
And now Ying Long, too, would experience his Thunderous Momentum, feel the supreme power of the Immortal Emperor, and discover the wonders of their imminent union.
"Don't move. This emperor wants to be on top!"
"Mm..."
A brilliant firework bloomed above the vast Yin-Yang Secret Realm.
Just like old times!
The Yin-Yang Law enveloped Dong Wanggong and Ying Long as supreme Dao Resonance surged outward.
It was as if they were conquering every direction!
At last, after who knew how long,
the two nations' armies ceased their slaughter and called a truce!
With their feet on the Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus, Dong Wanggong and Ying Long returned to Tongtian Jianmu. The two were wrapped up in each other, and the lingering scent of their love—like seafood—refused to fade!
"You two fellow Daoists, you're finally back!"
"We Three Pure Ones fought that Chaos Beast and have figured out what it can do. The creature really can devour living beings' souls—its attacks are impossible to guard against!"
"By the way, that Chaos Beast is called the Soul Devouring Beast Emperor!"
Yuanshi's aura was weak, his chest caved in, and he sat cross-legged on the ground, clearly gravely injured.
Nearby, Old Master Taiqing and Tongtian looked just as drained. Their robes were tattered, their expressions dim, and both their bodies and souls had suffered a terrifying blow.
"Fellow Daoists, did you gain anything?"
"Why not come with this emperor to Tongtian Jianmu and fight the beast? I'm sure we can kill the Soul Devouring Beast Emperor!"
Dong Wanggong smiled and took out three Yellow Middle Plums, offering them to the Three Pure Ones.
After all, the three of them had served as cannon fodder.
Their injuries would take centuries to heal. Still, they were much better off than Eastern Emperor Taiyi. His soul had been scattered, and he'd be lucky to recover his fighting strength in ten thousand years.
"Don't even mention it. The restrictions of Tongtian Jianmu trapped the Soul Devouring Beast Emperor inside the Inner World, but that beast's divine abilities are formidable. Even when the Three Pure Ones used our trump cards, we couldn't defeat it."
"We only stayed on Fangzhang Island to warn you, fellow Daoist, and recover our strength using the abundant Innate Spiritual Qi here. You should go on your own. We don't want to be seriously injured again!"
Tongtian spoke, sounding utterly exhausted.
Seeing this, Dong Wanggong didn't insist. He put an arm around Ying Long and entered Tongtian Jianmu.
Watching them go, a glint flashed in Old Master Taiqing's eyes.
"Dong Wanggong has grown stronger again. His Yin-Yang Law has reached perfection. He must have practiced Dual Cultivation with Ying Long, and his Law advanced as a result."
"'The Supreme One asks about love; the Supreme One is without love.' I feel as though my Dao Heart is about to shatter!"
Old Master Taiqing had never felt so speechless.
Dong Wanggong could grow stronger just by practicing Dual Cultivation!
Yet despite my Supreme Destiny, and despite my talent being easily among the top three of the many Innate Deities in the Primordial Wilderness, Dong Wanggong—the freak—had utterly crushed me.
He was even a little tempted.
Should he find a female immortal and try Dual Cultivation?
Meanwhile.
Dong Wanggong and Ying Long entered Tongtian Jianmu. They stood in the dark void, their feet treading on violent Chaos Fiendish Qi as ominous, evil energy surged around them.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
A hideous, terrifying sound echoed through the space. Its mysterious, eerie sound waves gnawed at Dong Wanggong's soul. Even with his undying Dao Heart, his spirit trembled.
The Soul Devouring Beast Emperor was that powerful!
"Chaos Bead, devour!"
Dong Wanggong moved his right hand. A gray bead flashed with mysterious light and unleashed a powerful suction, devouring the endless Chaos Fiendish Qi.
The Chaos Bead was a Chaos Supreme Treasure. This bit of Chaos Fiendish Qi was nothing before it.
That was quick!
The Chaos Fiendish Qi dispersed, and light returned to the dark space.
"So this is the Soul Devouring Beast Emperor? It's every bit as ferocious and hideous as I expected. Its murderous aura is no weaker than that of Beast Emperor Shen Ni at his peak!"
"Still, it's only a mindless beast!"
Clang!
Ying Long gripped the Dragon Emperor Sword, and her Time Law transformed into countless divine abilities.
The Soul Devouring Beast Emperor was a gigantic beast streaked with black and blood-red. Two enormous, spiraling horns grew from its head. Hidden between its sharp teeth were suckers capable of devouring the souls of living beings.
Its blood-red eyes seemed to pierce the soul, making it hard to keep one's Dao Heart steady.
It also had six huge claws beneath its body, covered in scales that gleamed with a cold light.
Rumble!
The Soul Devouring Beast Emperor grew restless, sensing the hostility of Dong Wanggong and Ying Long. Its six claws stamped across the ground and void as it let out an ear-splitting roar.
It had gone completely berserk!
"Come and fight!"
"Without the Chaos Fiendish Qi, let's see how you'll hide in the darkness now!"
"Since I emerged into the world after my transformation, I don't think I've ever faced a true opponent. If so, today's the day to test my strength!"
Dong Wanggong put away the Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus. He didn't plan to use all his spiritual treasures today; otherwise, the Soul Devouring Beast Emperor wouldn't last more than a few moves.
He had thought it would be extremely vicious, but now it seemed nothing special.
With a slight movement of his right hand, the Primordial Measure Ruler flashed with purple-gold light. The Yin-Yang Law wound around it as the full might of a Quasi-Saint Peak erupted, sweeping across hundreds of millions of miles.
"My husband is every bit as mighty as I thought. I'll leave it to you!"
Ying Long parted her red lips, a charming smile at the corner of her mouth. She put away the Dragon Emperor Sword and stood quietly to one side to watch.
Fighting the Soul Devouring Beast Emperor was nowhere near as enjoyable as wielding a spear with Dong Wanggong.
Her battlefield was on the jade bed!
"Roar! Roar! Roar..."
The Soul Devouring Beast Emperor roared, its muscles bulging as its violent aura rushed toward Dong Wanggong.
Soon, the bloody battle began.
Sound-wave attacks, soul attacks, and body slams.
As a Chaos Beast, the Soul Devouring Beast Emperor naturally had an extremely powerful body. But next to Dong Wanggong, it was utterly outclassed—after all, Dong Wanggong had the body of a Chaos Demon God.
In an instant!
Countless attacks struck Dong Wanggong in the chest, yet none harmed him. Instead, the Soul Devouring Beast Emperor looked bewildered, seemingly wary.
But inside Tongtian Jianmu, the Soul Devouring Beast Emperor had nowhere to run.
"The Great Dao of Strength is supreme and invincible!"
"Chaos Opens—destroy!"
Dong Wanggong raised the Primordial Measure Ruler high. Countless visions emerged from the Law of Strength.
In the darkness, a speck of light split open heaven and earth.
Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods fell, leaving only a towering phantom standing amid the chaos.
Carrying Dong Wanggong's defiant strike, the Primordial Measure Ruler smashed the Soul Devouring Beast Emperor's head. Its hundred-million-zhang body ignited with Yin-Yang Divine Fire and gradually disintegrated into ash.
"My husband is amazing!"
Seeing Dong Wanggong's imposing figure, Ying Long rushed straight into his arms, offering her little tongue and exploring, kissing him again and again.
"Don't you already know how amazing this emperor is?"
Dong Wanggong spoke gently, wearing a smile that invited speculation.
Ying Long blushed bashfully.
In the dim space, where the Soul Devouring Beast Emperor had fallen, a glimmer of ghostly light flickered again and again.
What was it?
