"Give up, Yunxiao. The demonic energy within you is increasing, and you will feel increasingly uncomfortable!"
"..."
"Isn't it good to become a demon? Once you become a demon, all demons will be at your command!"
Yunxiao was wearing special shackles, and demonic energy kept surging into his body...
Yunxiao's eyes were bloodshot, her hands clenched into fists, her sanity teetering on the brink of collapse: "...Sister...Sister..."
"Isn't it good to become a demon?! If you keep resisting, you'll only explode and die, your soul will shatter and you'll vanish into nothingness..."
Soul shattered?! Vanished into nothingness?!
Yunqi rushed into the palace, helped the weak Yunxiao up, unlocked his shackles, quickly fed him a healing pill, and pointed her spear directly at the Demon King!
Yunxiao was helped up, and the first thing he smelled was the comforting scent emanating from Yunqi: "Sister...Sister..."
"Don't speak, just focus on recovering." Yunqi set up a small isolation array around Yunxiao to keep out the surrounding demonic energy.
Yunxiao was clearly feeling better and obediently began to recover from her injuries.
The Demon King wasn't annoyed by Yun Qi's sudden appearance: "So she's the number one war god of the divine realm..."
Looking at the face that was exactly the same as the Heavenly Emperor's, Yun Qi, who had received the plot, knew that the Demon King and the Heavenly Emperor were two souls in one, so she was not surprised.
Yunqi looked quietly at the Demon King: "I'm taking Yunxiao away!"
The Demon King looked at Yun Qi with amusement: "Hmm? War God Yun Qi has fallen for this kid? But he's about to succumb to demonic possession..."
Yunqi: "Let's fight! If I win, let me take Yunxiao away!!"
The Demon King then took a serious look at Yun Qi. He had thought that the title of the number one war god in the divine realm was just hype... but he never expected that he couldn't even see through Yun Qi's cultivation level!
"Are you sure?! This is the Demon Realm, surrounded by demonic energy. If a fight breaks out, it will be at your disadvantage."
"Enough talk, are you going to fight or not?!"
"Of course we'll fight!" The Demon King was arrogant; he would never back down. "It's been a long time since I've encountered a true opponent who can fight me! I hope your title of 'Number One War God of the Divine Realm' isn't just for show!"
"We can't fight freely here! Let's go to the arena!"
Yunxiao looked at Yunqi with concern: "Sister! I want to go too!..."
"Um."
In the arena, the Demon King unleashed his demonic energy, rose and lunged forward, his long sword slashing at Yun Qi. Yun Qi raised her spear to parry...
With a forceful thrust, Yun Qi pushed the Demon King several meters away. She swiftly adjusted her stance and attacked, but just as she was about to pierce his heart, the Demon King dodged to the side. The spear grazed his side, but he grabbed it. Suddenly, the Demon King sprang up, flung the spear outwards, and Yun Qi, spear and all, was thrown away! ...
Yunqi adjusted her body, and the moment she was thrown out, she spun around and landed back on the ground.
Both of them tacitly refrained from using their cultivation, since they were both top-tier beings. If they were to use their abilities without restraint, the Demon Realm might be thrown into turmoil, and moreover, it would be their own Demon Realm that would be destroyed.
In the demon realm filled with demonic energy, Yunqi fought against the Demon King and still held her own. After hundreds of rounds, the Demon King still hadn't gained the upper hand!
The Demon King knew that with his current strength, he couldn't possibly defeat Yun Qi unless he resorted to trickery! But the Demon King's pride wouldn't allow him to cheat!
If he hadn't taken a small portion of Yunqi's soul when they separated, he might have been able to defeat Yunqi!
"That's it!" The Demon King withdrew his attack in frustration. "You win. You can take Yunxiao with you."
"Alright." Yunqi put away her spear, cupped her hands to the Demon King, and said, "Yunqi thanks the Demon King."
Yunqi helped Yunxiao up and used the Thousand Mile Travel Talisman to quickly reach the exit of the abyss in a few leaps...
After Yunqi left with Yunxiao, numerous demon soldiers and generals appeared around the Demon King.
The demon general bowed to the demon king: "Your Majesty, shall I go and pursue them?"
"Why would you chase them? Can you beat her?!"
(How could we possibly win?! He's the number one war god in the divine realm!!)
Demon General: "..." (ー_ー!! I'm totally taken aback.)
"How's the seal going?"
The Demon General said, "The barrier has been destroyed, but the barrier on the human realm is still intact. The destroyed barrier connects directly to the divine realm. The divine realm is not connected to our demon realm. I don't know why it connects to the divine realm now that the barrier has been destroyed. I sent people to investigate, but they couldn't find the reason."
The Demon King nodded: "Give the order: on one hand, continue to destroy the barrier on the human realm. On the other hand, continue the attack on the divine realm! Don't fight head-on! If you can't win, retreat and move the battlefield to continue fighting! Focus on destruction and resource plunder!!"
"Your subordinate obeys!!"
Here, Yunqi led Yunxiao away from the abyss and stopped at the barrier leading to the human realm. She quickly formed hand seals to create an exit large enough for the two of them to pass through, and then led Yunxiao into the human realm. Once they had passed through, the barrier returned to its original state.
Yunqi took Yunxiao directly to an unclaimed mountain peak with abundant spiritual energy.
Without the corrosive influence of demonic energy, and nourished by the spiritual energy on the mountain peak, Yunxiao's injuries were visibly healing.
Yunxiao stood up and hugged Yunqi in her arms: "Sister! It's so good to see you again!"
Yunqi patted Yunxiao reassuringly: "Tell me, when did you come to this world?"
Yunxiao (also known as Xiao Mo) didn't know when he arrived in this world. When he awoke, he discovered that his soul was inside the Demon King's body. He tried to control the Demon King's body, but when he managed to control it for a short time, the Demon King discovered him...
The Demon King tried everything but couldn't absorb him, so he used the Heavenly Embryo Stone to separate him. However, the Demon King didn't fare well in the process; a small portion of his soul was taken away by the separated entity…
Because of this small part of his soul, he lost his memories... forcing him to grow up groping his way like a newborn...
Then she met Yunqi... and Yunqi learned about what happened after that...
How are you feeling these days?
"This is a body conceived by the Heavenly Embryo Stone, and it's a good match. It's just a small part of the Demon King's soul..."
What happened to his soul?
"This part of my soul will automatically absorb demonic energy, causing me to fall into demonic possession. If I insist on resisting, my body may be burst by the demonic energy, destroying my soul..."
"Since there's no demonic energy in the human realm, are you alright now?"
"…Um."
