The Little Demon Queen's divine power was acquired at the cost of her life. The consequence of fully unleashing her flame power was that her already limited life span would be shortened even further. She would never choose this state unless it was absolutely necessary. But now her murderous aura and anger had reached their peak, and Yun Che was on the brink of death and could die at any time, so she didn't care about the consequences.
Previously, the Three Holy Lords were able to contend with the Little Demon Queen with their combined strength, and even had a slight advantage. But as the Little Demon Queen unleashed her full flame power, Huang Ji Wu Yu was defeated in the blink of an eye, and Ye Mei Xie even had one of his arms cut off alive.
Qu Fengyi stood there in shock, his whole body stiffened, not daring to take another step forward. Ye Meixie's severed arm was completely engulfed by the Golden Crow Flame, and before it could fall, it was burned to ashes, disappearing without a trace.
BANG!!
The ground next to Ye Meixie exploded, Huangji Wuyu soared into the air, grabbed Ye Meixie, extinguished the Golden Crow Flame that was spreading on his body, and shouted "Go!" He sped away with Qu Fengyi like thunder.
Just as the Little Demon Queen was about to chase after him, Feng Xue’er’s surprised voice suddenly rang out from behind: “Brother Yun, you… you’re awake!!”
The Little Demon Empress paused, and with a flicker of her colorful shadow, she had returned to Yun Che’s side.
Perhaps it was because the profound energy that the Little Demon Queen had injected into his body had taken effect. Yun Che’s life force was still extremely weak. At this moment, his eyes were half open, and his pupils were dim and out of focus.
"Cai Yi... is it you...?" Yun Che moved his dry lips and made a sound as faint as a mosquito's buzz. He regained some consciousness and opened his eyes, but there was only darkness in front of him. The warm Golden Crow aura in his body made him know that it was the little demon queen who came to his side.
“Don’t talk.” The Little Demon Queen placed one hand on his forehead and the other on his broken chest. The purest Golden Crow energy continuously flowed into his body… However, her aura could not find the heart meridian that she wanted to protect desperately.
Because his heart was completely broken.
Being able to survive the death immediately with his internal organs and heart broken, and even barely regaining some consciousness, this is an impossible miracle in the eyes of ordinary people.
“It’s useless… it will only… damage your… vitality in vain…” Yun Che’s fingers trembled slightly, as if he wanted to struggle. He knew best where the Little Demon Queen got her power from. Rather than saying that she was transferring her own source of power to him, it would be better to say that she was desperately trying to save her life through him. But now he was completely powerless to stop it. He slowly closed his eyes, which could not see clearly even if they were open, and said bitterly: “Before… no matter how badly I was injured… as long as I was still breathing… I was sure that I would be able to survive…”
"But this time... maybe I really..."
“Brother Yun! You will be fine… definitely not!” Feng Xue’er shook her head desperately and interrupted him with tears in her eyes.
A layer of light golden flames floated on Yun Che’s body. The Little Demon Queen retracted her hands and said softly, “Don’t waste your energy by talking too much. While you are still conscious, call the Ancient Profound Ark immediately and return to the Illusory Demon Realm together. I will take you to find the Golden Crow Saint God. It is an omnipotent god and will definitely find a way to save you.”
"Okay..." If there is anything in this world that can save him, it can only be the Golden Crow Spirit. Even if it is not for this reason, he can no longer stay in the Profound Sky Continent: "I have to take...Grandpa and the others with me..."
Every word Yun Che spoke seemed extremely difficult. He tried to concentrate, and with a wave of spatial ripples, the Ancient Profound Ark appeared, and then under Yun Che's control, the three people were taken into the inner world, and then disappeared.

Huangji Wuyu, Qu Fengyi and Ye Meixie ran wildly all the way. The three great saints were like frightened birds. They fled for hundreds of miles. After confirming that the Little Demon Queen did not chase them, they finally slowed down and stopped, but they were still in shock.
"That person... is it really the Little Demon Queen?" Qu Fengyi said in doubt. Beside her, Ye Meixie was healing his wounds, but his face was twisted in pain. He still couldn't accept that he, who was supposed to be invincible, would have one of his arms destroyed alive, becoming a one-armed celestial monarch.
“I can’t believe it either.” Huangji Wuyu’s face was gloomy. “But the flame she used was clearly the Golden Crow Flame. The only one in this world who could release that kind of Golden Crow Flame could be the Little Demon Queen of the Illusory Demon Realm! Hiss… The Demon King who died a hundred years ago should have been the strongest in the Illusory Demon Realm, but his strength was slightly inferior to any of the four of us. Why is the Little Demon Queen so strong!”
What made him unable to help but be terrified was that the Little Demon Queen's sudden burst of strength was obviously even stronger than Ye Mufeng's runaway strength a thousand years ago!
“No… it’s definitely impossible.” Qu Fengyi thought about it and shook his head. “A hundred years ago, our Ocean Palace secretly left spies in the Demon King City. According to the information they conveyed back, the Little Demon Queen’s highest profound strength would not exceed the sixth level of the Sovereign Profound Realm. That person definitely cannot be the Little Demon Queen.”
Then, Qu Fengyi suddenly thought of something and whispered, “However, the last message sent back by our spies in Demon King City was a year and a half ago. Could it be that something drastic has changed since then? That’s not right! Even if the Little Demon Queen’s talent is ten times higher, it is impossible for her to grow to such an abnormal level in such a short time.”
Huangji Wuyu pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, “It seems that we should ask Xuanyuan Wentian about this matter. Since he knows all the secrets of Yun Che so clearly, he must know a lot of other things. From his mouth, we should be able to directly determine whether that person is the Little Demon Queen... However, whether it is or not, we should be careful.”
“Huh…” Huangji Wuyu let out a long breath, “I have always claimed to be invincible. But in just over ten days, first the red-clothed demon woman appeared, and now a person with the terrifying Golden Crow Flame has appeared. It seems that after thousands of years of practice, I am still a frog in the well. But fortunately, she is different from the red-clothed demon woman. If we gather the power of the holy land, she can be dealt with.”
————————————
The Ancient Profound Ark did not go to the Illusory Demon Realm, but under the guidance of Yun Che’s will, it traveled to Floating Cloud City.
"This is Floating Cloud City, where Brother Yun was born." Feng Xue'er whispered to the Little Demon Queen as she walked out of the Archaic Profound Ark while holding Yun Che. She had always been very curious about the Little Demon Queen, but now that she had finally met her, she was in her darkest mood. Her heart was completely tied to Yun Che, and she didn't even bother to look at her for a few more times.
"..." The Little Demon Queen's eyes swept around lightly. Immediately, the number one player in the world who had sensed her presence appeared in her sight.
When he suddenly saw the Little Demon Queen, Number One Under Heaven's pupils shrank, and he was so shocked that he almost fell from the sky. In extreme shock and panic, Number One Under Heaven almost forgot how to fly, and stumbled in the air to the Little Demon Queen: "Number One Under Heaven welcomes Little Demon..."
Before he finished speaking, the strong smell of blood made his eyes subconsciously fall on Yun Che in Feng Xue'er's arms. Instantly, his face changed drastically, and he didn't even bother to salute the Little Demon Queen. He dodged and rushed forward: "Brother Yun! What's wrong with Brother Yun? What happened!?"
“Big Brother Tianxia,” Feng Xue’er said in a sad voice, “Quickly call Grandpa Xiao and his family over. Brother Yun will take us back to the place called the Illusory Demon Realm.”
“Go quickly!” the Little Demon Queen said sternly.
"...I understand!" Number One Under Heaven asked no more questions and quickly returned to the Xiao Clan compound.
When Feng Xue'er and the Little Demon Queen fell from the sky, Number One Under Heaven had already rushed out with Xiao Lie, Xiao Lingxi, and the Xiao Yun couple.
“Xiao Che… Xiao Che!!” Xiao Lingxi was stunned when she saw the blood-soaked figure in Feng Xue’er’s arms. Then she broke down almost instantly and rushed over crying.
“Don’t get close to him!” The Little Demon Queen threw her hands, and a gust of wind forcefully knocked Xiao Lingxi away. The Golden Crow flames on Yun Che’s body that were used to lock up his remaining vitality could not hurt Feng Xue’er, but they were definitely enough to kill Xiao Lingxi instantly.
"What happened...who...who hurt big brother!" Xiao Yun's face was pale and his voice trembled.
"What's going on? Oh, right...where is Brother Yun's master?" Number Seven Under Heaven asked in panic.
“I don’t know… I really don’t know.” Feng Xue’er shook her head with tears in her eyes: “I didn’t even see who hurt Brother Yun, and he suddenly became like this…”
“Xue’er, little aunt… don’t cry…” Yun Che, who was still conscious, uttered an extremely weak voice: “Come… with me… back… to… the illusion…”
Yun Che’s voice gradually became weaker, and then completely silent. His eyes, which had been trying to keep half open, now closed powerlessly.
“…” The Little Demon Queen’s lips moved slightly. She saw that as Yun Che’s consciousness faded, the Primordial Profound Ark controlled by his will also disappeared there.
“Xiao Che!!” Yun Che’s lost voice made Xiao Lingxi’s face turn even paler. In the past, Yun Che had been in numerous dangers, and even had news of his death, but she had only heard about it and never seen it with her own eyes. This time, she watched Yun Che’s body covered in blood, his entire chest was completely broken, and she burst into tears: “Xiao Che… wake up, wake up quickly… wuwu… I beg you to be okay…”
"Shut up!!"
A cold and domineering shout instantly stopped Xiao Lingxi’s crying. The Little Demon Queen’s face remained as cold as ice, without any emotion. Her imperial pressure made all the emperors in the Demon King City silent, let alone others.
“Even if you cry yourself to death, it won’t help his injuries at all! Instead of crying, you might as well think about how to save him.” The Little Demon Queen’s icy voice almost froze the air in Floating Cloud City.
“I…” Xiao Lingxi bit her lip, her whole body shaking weakly.
Number Seven Under Heaven quickly supported Xiao Lingxi and said in a gentle voice, “Aunt, she is the Little Demon Queen we often mentioned to you. She is in the Illusory Demon Realm, and is the equivalent of a god to everyone. She is also Brother Yun’s wife, so she will definitely find a way. And… and I absolutely do not believe that Brother Yun, who was able to defeat even the terrifying Prince Huai, would fall like this.”
“We must return to the Illusory Demon Realm immediately.” The Little Demon Queen looked ahead, as if she was talking to herself. Like Yun Che, the only hope she could think of was the Golden Crow Spirit.
Xiao Yun tore at his scalp in annoyance. Suddenly he raised his head and asked anxiously, "Little Demon Queen, when you came to the Profound Sky Continent, did you use the Sky-breaking Ring?"
As the former young master of the Yun family, Xiao Yun naturally knew about the existence of the Sky-breaking Ring. More than 20 years ago, Yun Qinghong and his wife relied on the Sky-breaking Ring to conceal their arrival in the Illusory Demon Realm from the Four Sacred Lands.
“Yes.” The Little Demon Queen nodded slightly. “However, I was in a hurry to come here, so I only let the Yun family inject enough power to come here, and there was no spare power to turn back. I originally wanted to return through Yun Che’s Xuanzhou, but his Xuanzhou was obviously attached to his consciousness. In his unconscious state, outsiders could not use it at all.”
“Then…then what should we do?” Feng Xue’er asked in a panic. With Yun Che’s injuries, every delay was a loss of hope.
The Golden Crow flame floating on Yun Che’s body fed the Little Demon Queen a report of his physical condition, letting her know clearly that despite Yun Che’s incomparably horrific injuries, every breath he survived was a miracle that defied common sense.
In this state, maintaining the last bit of life is already a difficult miracle. To regain consciousness before dying is really harder than climbing to the sky.
The Little Demon Queen stood there silently, her eyes were blank, and all the colors and sounds in the world floated away from her consciousness. This state lasted for a long time, and she finally spoke: "Where is there a place where the fire element or the ice element is extremely strong and pure?"
“This…” Xiao Yun scratched his head and thought desperately, but he had only been back to the Profound Sky Continent for a short time and rarely left Floating Cloud City. His understanding of the Profound Sky Continent was still based on what Yun Che or Xiao Lie had said. This question was too difficult for him. After thinking for a long time, he stumbled and said, “A place where fire elements are active… should be a volcano… but if it’s pure…”
“I know a place!!” Feng Xue’er suddenly said, “In Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, there is an Ice Cloud Frost Pond. Brother Yun said that it is located at the core of the earth veins of the Ice Extreme Snow Region. It is the coldest place in the Blue Wind Country, and it can even be said to be the coldest place in the entire Profound Sky Continent.”
The Little Demon Queen tilted her head and flicked her colorful sleeves. A not-so-gentle gust of wind swept everyone into the air. "Tell me the direction right now!!"
