"Ah Yu, thank you for your hard work. While I was away, thank you for protecting the Demon Realm for me." Ruan Xiyan gently kissed Jun Yu's lips.
"Now that I'm back, you don't have to shoulder all this alone anymore. I've noted down all the accounts, and I'll settle them with Cang Jun one by one later!"
"This is Ayan's home, so it is also my home. No matter what we face, I will stay by Ayan's side." Jun Yu wrapped his arms around Ruan Xiyan's waist, pulled her into his embrace, and deepened the kiss.
"Ahem, um...did I disturb you?" Fu Chishang saw this scene as soon as he entered, coughed awkwardly, and turned around.
After Xiao Xi recovered her strength, she left Yan Hua Palace in the blink of an eye. He was worried that something might have happened, so he rushed over, but it seemed that he had arrived at the wrong time.
After Ruan Xiyan and Jun Yu separated, they were completely at ease, while Fu Chishang was somewhat embarrassed. He awkwardly touched the tip of his nose and asked, "Xiao Xi, how is the situation in the Demon Realm?"
"It's all over now." Ruan Xiyan smiled slightly. "The Azure Soul Pill has been refined. I need to return to the mortal continent to awaken my father."
“Xiao Xi, I’m still a little worried about my sister, so I won’t go to the mortal continent with you. I’ll try to find out where she is.” Fu Chishang said.
He had promised his older sister that he would stay by Xiaoxi's side and protect her. He was originally worried about Xiaoxi's situation when she returned to the Demon Realm, but now that Xiaoxi's strength has fully recovered and is even stronger than his, he can put his worries aside.
“Alright, let’s split up. Once I return from the mortal realm, I’ll take a trip to the divine realm,” Ruan Xiyan replied.
She naturally wanted to avenge the oppression and grievances suffered by the demon race over the years, and as her memories returned, she also remembered what the Valley of Bones was.
The Valley of Bones is a place of divine punishment in the realm of gods, a perilous place used to imprison those who have committed heinous crimes. Therefore, whether for the sake of his mother or his master, he was imprisoned.
When she returns, we must go to the realm of gods for a cup of tea!
The news of the Demon Realm's progenitor's return has not yet spread across the continent, but the people of the Demon Realm have already vaguely sensed it.
The demonic blood within them clearly told them that their demon king had returned!
Ruan Xiyan and Jun Yu tore through the void and arrived in the mortal world.
The Yunli Empire.
"Second brother, there's something unusual about the outer protective shield. Could it be that another powerful enemy is attacking?" Ling Jingyan's eyes were wary.
"Let's go take a look." Ling Zhiheng and Ling Jingyan flew out.
"It's Yan'er!" Ling Zhiheng exclaimed excitedly as he looked at the familiar figure in the distance.
From a distance, Ling Jingyan waved excitedly at them, "Little sister."
"Second brother, third brother, I'm back," Ruan Xiyan said with a smile when she saw them. "The elixir that can awaken Father has been successfully refined."
Inside the imperial palace, in a room.
Upon hearing that Ruan Xiyan had returned, Ling Haoyang put aside all his official duties and rushed over.
Ruan Xiyan gave Ling Yunchen the Azure Soul Pill, and then checked his physical condition.
"Yan'er, will Father wake up after taking the pill?" Ling Haoyang asked.
“The Azure Soul Pill has already taken effect in Father’s body, and Father will wake up soon,” Ruan Xiyan replied.
They all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Ruan Xiyan say that.
However, they were still worried because they couldn't see Ling Yunchen wake up. They waited quietly in the room, their eyes occasionally falling on Ling Yunchen on the bed.
Suddenly a cough was heard, and Ling Yunchen's eyelashes trembled slightly as he slowly opened his eyes.
He looked around at the people gathered in the room, somewhat bewildered. “Yan’er, Yang’er, what are you all doing here?”
As the events of the past gradually flooded his mind, he asked in confusion, "Wasn't I dead?"
“Father, it was Yan’er. Yan’er went to the underworld to retrieve your soul, and later she worked hard to find various spiritual herbs and refined an imperial-grade pill to revive you,” Ling Haoyang explained.
Ling Yunchen looked at Ruan Xiyan standing there, his eyes reddening. "Yan'er, it should be me, as your father, protecting you, but I never expected that you would have to run around for me."
Ruan Xiyan smiled and shook her head, "We are family, there is no distinction between you and me, it's the same for me to protect my father."
"Father, are you still feeling unwell?" Ling Zhiheng asked from the side.
Just as Ling Yunchen was about to answer, a surge of power suddenly emanated from his body, and then his strength seemed to rise uncontrollably.
In the blink of an eye, his strength reached the Supreme Realm, and the upward momentum did not stop until his final strength stopped at the Low-level Half-Immortal Realm.
Ling Jingyan and his two brothers stared at Ling Yunchen in astonishment; their father's speed of improvement was simply terrifying!
Before they could finish their surprise, the entire palace was covered by dark thunderclouds. Ling Yunchen didn't have time to say anything and hurriedly left the room to deal with the tribulation outside.
Ruan Xiyan and the others quickly followed.
The storm of lightning quickly enveloped Ling Yunchen, and a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down.
"Is Father alright?" Ling Jingyan asked with concern.
"I've heard that the tribulation lightning during a breakthrough can only be overcome by oneself." Ling Haoyang stared at Ling Yunchen, who was undergoing the tribulation.
Ruan Xiyan was the same. Her father's body had been tempered by various rare and precious materials, making him very strong. With his current strength, he could easily cope with the tribulation.
However, the Emperor's strength has increased too much, and the accumulated lightning tribulation will likely fall along with this one, making it difficult to withstand.
Ruan Xiyan's gaze suddenly sharpened, her blood-red eyes detecting subtle changes within Ling Yunchen's body.
This is... a divine body!
Although my father's strength has reached the half-immortal realm, he is far from being able to condense a divine body.
To possess a divine body, one must first break through to the level of a god. My father's current strength is clearly not that of a god, yet he possesses a divine body.
Could it be due to the effects of the Azure Soul Pill?!
The Azure Soul Pill is made from six extremely rare and precious spiritual herbs, and it also has nine pill patterns on its surface, so its medicinal power and quality are self-evident.
This is the only reason that can explain why someone with the strength of a half-immortal possesses a divine body.
With his divine body present, the tribulation lightning during the breakthrough to the Half-Immortal Realm was a piece of cake for my father.
A relaxed smile appeared on Ruan Xiyan's face.
After the tribulation ended, Ling Yunchen was unharmed and quickly walked up to Ruan Xiyan.
"Congratulations, Father, on your rapid advancement in strength!" Ruan Xiyan said happily.
"This is all thanks to my Yan'er. If it weren't for Yan'er, how could Father Emperor be standing here unharmed? My Yan'er has really grown up." Ling Yunchen said with emotion.
Not only did he come back from the dead, but his strength also increased so much. One can only imagine the hardships Yan'er endured.
