At that moment, looking at everyone's excited expressions, Ye Xingchen said:
"Today, you seniors have restored your origins and broken through to the Immortal Thearch Realm, making our Demon Race leap into the ranks of superpowers. This calls for celebration!"
"This Imperial Sovereign is happy today, and I have gifts for everyone!"
Hearing Ye Xingchen's words, everyone below immediately looked pleasantly surprised. They had all seen his gifts before. When he gave nothing, that was that; when he did give something, it was never ordinary.
Thus, everyone looked at Ye Xingchen in delighted surprise, their eyes brimming with anticipation.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xingchen casually waved his hand. A sight that shocked everyone below appeared, and they all involuntarily thought:
As expected, the Imperial Sovereign's gifts are never simple!
Before each of them appeared a hundred bottles made of supreme-grade spirit stones. Then Ye Xingchen's voice rang out again:
"You should all have tasted this supreme-grade divine wine. It tastes quite good, though it is extremely strong, and you all know its effects. A hundred bottles each, as this Imperial Sovereign's gift to you!"
Looking at the hundreds of bottles of supreme-grade divine wine before them, everyone involuntarily swallowed, their eyes blazing with ardor.
They were all wine lovers. After tasting the supreme-grade divine wine once, drinking wine brewed by the Demon Race was like chewing wax.
Thus, they had never stopped yearning for the supreme-grade divine wine, and they knew its value all too well. They had never imagined that the Imperial Sovereign would give them a hundred bottles each today!
Everyone's eyes burned with excitement. This was divine wine whose every mouthful rivaled a sixth-grade pill!
As though he had seen through these Demon Race experts' thoughts, Ye Xingchen waved his hand again. Turning toward Luo Qingshan, who was gazing at him tenderly, he said softly:
"My wife, here are two million bottles of supreme-grade divine wine to serve as benefits for our Demon Race. Whenever there is a festival or celebration, bring them out for our people to drink!"
The next moment, cries of astonishment rang throughout the Empress Palace. Everyone stared wide-eyed at the densely packed bottles of supreme-grade divine wine before them, letting out:
"Hiss!" They sucked in sharp breaths!
The sight was simply magnificent.
Luo Qingshan stared at Ye Xingchen with eyes full of shock and asked somewhat uncertainly:
"Hus... band, so... many, all as benefits for the Demon Race disciples?! Isn't this a little too much?!"
Hearing Luo Qingshan's somewhat excited words, Ye Xingchen smiled faintly and said gently:
"Hehe, don't worry, my wife. Your husband has more. Two million bottles isn't very much. You may distribute them however you wish."
"Now our Demon Race has gained dozens more Immortal Emperor experts, leaping into the ranks of superpowers. This is something worth celebrating throughout the race. Take them, my wife, and arrange things however you wish!"
Hearing Ye Xingchen's words, Luo Qingshan cast her husband a bewitching glance before casually waving her hand and putting away the two million bottles of supreme-grade divine wine.
Seeing the Empress put away the two million bottles of supreme-grade divine wine, everyone below stopped standing on ceremony and excitedly put away the hundred bottles of divine wine before them.
If they drank sparingly, these hundred bottles would last them a very long time!
At that moment, their gazes toward Ye Xingchen were filled with gratitude.
Only after everyone had put away the supreme-grade divine wine did Luo Qingshan ask curiously:
"Husband, what was that Divine Spring of Life you had the seniors drink just now?"
Hearing the Empress ask, everyone below also raised their heads. They were extremely curious too, but they had feared that such a divine treasure was the Imperial Sovereign's secret, so they had not asked.
After all, they all knew that their Imperial Sovereign had always been mysterious. On the surface, he appeared to be in the Innate Realm, but his true strength was unfathomable.
The astonishing presence the Imperial Sovereign exuded alone, towering above them all, sweeping across the six directions and engulfing the eight quarters, gave them the urge to prostrate themselves in worship.
How could someone in the Innate Realm possibly exude such a presence? But since the Imperial Sovereign liked being mysterious, it was all the more inappropriate for them to ask.
Now that they heard the Empress ask, they all involuntarily raised their heads, their faces full of curiosity.
Hearing Luo Qingshan's question, Ye Xingchen smiled faintly and said:
"What the seniors drank just now was the Divine Spring of Life. Upon consumption, it can return one to one's original source, heal grievous injuries, and extend one's lifespan. A single drop can extend life by fifty years. It is a rare, supreme-grade divine treasure."
Hearing Ye Xingchen's words, everyone was greatly shocked. A single drop could extend life by fifty years and heal grievous injuries. It truly deserved to be called a supreme-grade divine treasure.
Looking at everyone's shocked expressions, Ye Xingchen continued:
"Didn't the Supreme Purity Palace challenge our Demon Race, relying on its Life-Extending Pills? This Imperial Sovereign accepts. I will use this Divine Spring of Life to utterly shatter the Supreme Purity Palace's confidence. Let's see what expression Huangfu Bubai wears then!"
Hearing Ye Xingchen's words, everyone was greatly shocked. Luo Qingshan spoke up directly:
"Husband, such divine water is far too precious. A single drop can extend life by fifty years and even heal injuries to one's origin. The Supreme Purity Palace's Life-Extending Pills cannot compare at all! Wouldn't this be too wasteful?"
Hearing Luo Qingshan's words, Ye Xingchen smiled faintly and said domineeringly:
"Since your husband has accepted this challenge, I won't bring out trash like Life-Extending Pills to compete. That would be far beneath this Imperial Sovereign's dignity!"
"Besides, either we don't fight at all, or, if we do, your husband will knock the Supreme Purity Palace off its divine pedestal in a single battle and make every force in Divine Desolation understand that, compared with the Demon Race, the Supreme Purity Palace is nothing but a joke!"
At that moment, every member of the Demon Race within the Empress Palace was shaken by Ye Xingchen's domineering voice, their gazes toward him filled with admiration.
With such a domineering Imperial Sovereign, how could the Demon Race not flourish?
Looking at Luo Qingshan, Ye Xingchen continued:
"Your husband will head to the Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion tomorrow. My wife, have someone spread the news immediately: in seven days, the Demon Race's Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion will hold an auction for a divine treasure that can extend life by fifty years. Many forces will surely come then."
"Your husband would like to see whether the forces of Divine Desolation can resist. Through this auction, I will make every force in Divine Desolation understand that the Supreme Purity Palace is nothing but an enormous joke!"
Hearing Ye Xingchen's words, Luo Qingshan hurriedly said:
"Husband, Shan'er will come with you. It will be a good chance to accompany you on a tour of the Human Race's territory!"
Hearing the urgency in Luo Qingshan's voice, Ye Xingchen smiled faintly and said:
"All right, we husband and wife will go together. It will be a good chance to tour the Human Race's territory. Also, have all the Demon Race's Immortal Emperor experts head to the Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion as well. It is time for every force in Divine Desolation to feel the Demon Race's might!"
Hearing Ye Xingchen's words, the eyes of every Demon Race expert lit up, and excitement appeared on their faces.
How many years had it been since the Demon Race could hold its head high like this? This time, they would surely give every force a great shock!
"Grand Elder, dispatch disciples immediately to spread the news. Within one day, this Empress wants every force throughout Divine Desolation to hear of the Demon Race's auction!"
"Also, seniors, now that you have successfully advanced to the Immortal Thearch Realm, you will be promoted directly to Demon Race ancestors. This Empress will issue a decree informing the entire race."
"Ancestors, take this Empress's command immediately and go to the ancestral land to meet with the other Demon Race ancestors. Head to the Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion today to prevent anyone from maliciously sabotaging it. If you discover anyone doing so, suppress them directly. It is time for the Demon Race to bare its edge!"
At that moment, Luo Qingshan regained the domineering presence befitting an empress and spoke majestically to all the members of the Demon Race below.
"We respectfully obey the Empress's decree!"
"We respectfully obey the Empress's decree!"
Hearing Luo Qingshan's words, every member of the Demon Race cupped their fists and bowed before quickly turning to leave!
Watching the Demon Race experts disappear, Ye Xingchen took Luo Qingshan's hand. Their eyes met, and at that moment, their hearts drew ever closer.
A great tree called love grew ever taller and more luxuriant in their hearts!
