puff--
Leng Qingcheng coughed up a mouthful of blood and couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.
"I never imagined that I, Leng Qingcheng, who have dominated the Demon Realm for over a thousand years, would be driven to such a desperate situation by a junior in her early twenties like you."
"Yu Xiyan, your scheming is truly terrifying. I underestimated you, I underestimated you so much!"
"Have you finished your last words? Then I'll send you on your way."
The tide and the phoenix shone with a deadly aura.
"Heaven-Devouring Ice Flame - Snow Phoenix Shines Upon the World!"
The blood-red dragon on her forehead flashed for a moment, and Yu Xiyan resolutely swung her sword.
By combining the foundations of Yue Beiqing and Leng Qingcheng with her own Ice Phoenix Technique, Yu Xiyan created a completely new sword intent in an instant, creating a realm of ice and snow.
Accompanied by an extremely cold sword aura that slashed through the void, icy wings unfolded from Yu Xiyan's back, like the soft murmur of the Great Dao, making people dare not look directly at her.
Leng Qingcheng closed her eyes in despair.
Resentment, regret, and annoyance flashed through my mind in that instant.
"Hahaha……"
In the end, it all turned into a bitter, miserable laugh.
My life has been so pathetic, and my death so laughable.
Just as she was on the verge of life and death, a ghostly blue light suddenly emanated from the soul-nourishing ring on her finger.
Just as Leng Qingcheng was about to perish, a powerful demonic force swiftly created a barrier around her.
The next moment, Leng Qingcheng disappeared from the spot.
boom--
Wherever the sword energy passed, it turned the entire palace into a ruin of ice crystals.
Yu Xiyan coldly glanced in the direction where Leng Qingcheng had disappeared, a chilling smile appearing on her lips.
"The demon race, Empress Yu Qingzhu of Qingqiu? Hmph, consider yourself lucky, you whore..."
His eyes narrowed, and he put away the imperial weapon in his hand, turned around and slowly walked away from the palace.
"Lin Feng, you escaped by sheer luck at Tianqing Gorge, but this matter will not end here. I will not allow you to live. The next time we meet will be your death day!"
At this moment, after absorbing some of the remaining cultivation of Yue Beiqing and Leng Qingcheng, Yu Xiyan's foundation had reached the peak of the Manifestation Saint realm, and she was only one step away from becoming a Quasi-Emperor.
However, her current combat strength is comparable to that of a mid-stage Quasi-Emperor.
The Supreme Demon Gang, Night Emperor Demon Abyss, although he did not obtain the Chaos Demon Pearl, is no longer what he used to be.
As she stepped out of the ruins of the Demon Palace, patches of ice crystals appeared on the ground behind her.
In an instant, a snow-like flame erupted, engulfing everything in its path.
...
South of the Demon Realm, having escaped danger, Leng Qingcheng, barely alive, leaned against a large tree, gazing up at the night sky.
Looking back on her life, she found it all utterly ridiculous.
Fu Yanchao, Lin Xian'er, Ding Bu'er, Yu Xiyan, and Jiang Haitian were all scheming against him, but he naively thought he had everything under control.
"I never imagined it would end up like this."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Qingzhu's figure materialized from the Soul Nourishing Ring.
"Empress Demon Breath, are you really planning to give up like this?"
"What good is not giving up? After being struck by Shen Zhao's palm, my soul and spirit are now severely damaged. I can no longer suppress the backlash of the Chaos Demon Pearl and can only wait to die slowly."
Yu Qingzhu: "If I have a way to preserve your life and soul, would you be willing to do something for me?"
Leng Qingcheng: "You have a way to save my life."
"Let my soul merge with yours, and I can save your life."
"You want to possess me?"
"It's not possession, it's fusion!"
Jade Green Bamboo Path
"Before my physical body is reconstructed, you and I will be one, but your consciousness will be occupied by me most of the time until your soul is repaired. Are you willing?"
What do you want to do with my body?
"Return to Qingqiu Mountain in the Demon Realm, revitalize the demon race, and restore the glory of the Purple Flame Demon Capital."
"As expected, you also have your own motives."
"Do you have any better options now? This is the only way I can repay you for getting me out of Lin Feng's clutches."
Of course, it's up to you whether you agree or not. If you don't want to, I can't take even a single thing from your body.
"The Chaos Demon Pearl within me is backfiring. Even if you take over my body, I'm afraid you won't be able to suppress this injury."
"You don't need to worry about that. Do you remember the Golden Emperor Dao Fruit that Empress Longhan gave you? It's a top-grade medicine that stabilizes your soul and repairs your Qi Sea and spiritual veins."
"Quickly consume it, then hand your body over to me. Only I can help you digest this sacred Dao Fruit!"
After a moment of contemplation, Leng Qingcheng finally nodded and immediately took out the Golden Emperor Dao Fruit.
"Very well, I promise you. After you accomplish this, I will kill Shen Zhao, Lin Xian'er, and Yu Xiyan. I will make sure they die without a burial place!"
"Um!"
With the new contract being signed, Yu Qingzhu's remnant soul instantly merged into Leng Qingcheng's body.
The next moment, Leng Qingcheng's appearance changed drastically.
The originally hideous demonic runes were completely peeled off in a flash of azure sword intent.
In an instant, a mysterious light enveloped everything.
As the dazzling light faded, a stunningly beautiful and dashing female master, dressed in green and holding an oil-paper umbrella, stood gracefully beneath the night sky.
Unlike Leng Qingcheng's captivating charm, the woman before me possessed an ethereal quality, as if she stood aloof from the ages.
"Two thousand years have passed, Demon Realm, I have returned!"
Yu Qingzhu opened her eyes, her pupils glowing with an eerie red light.
Behind him, the nine three-zhang-long fox tails of the phantom were particularly eye-catching.
"Bai Xinian, I will settle the old scores between us personally. Don't think that you can get away with it by hiding in the Nine Luminaries Divine Abyss!"
A white fox's cry pierced the quiet night sky.
