Chapter 598 – Desire Under Desperate Circumstances

“Pfft ……”

The Little Demon Empress sprayed out another large mouthful of black blood, and amongst the blood, there were shocking blood clots mixed in. With that, her entire body slowly fell to her knees, her eyes sometimes disoriented, sometimes lax.

Looking at the blood she spat out, Yun Che’s heart snapped, and he hurriedly went to support her thin shoulders. And as soon as his palm touched her shoulders, it was slapped away by the Little Demon Empress with a very hard hand, “Say it again …… don’t …… touch me!”

The Little Demon Empress looked weak beyond measure, but the strength of this palm was not light, and it directly shook Yun Che back several steps, while the Little Demon Empress’s body shook violently, nearly collapsing completely, she raised her head, and her childish young girl’s cheeks, so weak as to make one’s heart ache, were covered with ice coldness and stubbornness that seemed as if it would never dissolve: “Just by the fact that you blasphemed against my body with your eyes that day …… Even if you are after the Demon King, I should also dig out your eyes …… You dare to touch me again …… I will definitely kill you!”

The life vein has been broken, no matter if the body and mind are heavily traumatized, actually still caring about these things …… Yun Che moved the corner of his mouth and muttered in a rather indignant manner, “It’s all been said that I didn’t mean to peek that night …… I was originally in that place, it was you who didn’t notice me and took off all your clothes yourself ……”

Before Yun Che’s words fell, a scorching wind wave had suddenly attacked, and the Little Demon Empress’s small, slender white hand had grabbed on top of his neck, “Do you really think …… that I don’t dare to kill you!”

Although the Little Demon Empress was weak, but after all, with the strength of a mid stage emperor, even in her current state, it would be easy to kill Yun Che. Yun Che nodded his head and said very seriously, “Well …… because you don’t have a killing aura towards me at all.”

As soon as the words were finished, Yun Che was worried that the Little Demon Empress would really go berserk because of this, and hurriedly continued, “We’ve already been pushed into a desperate situation, and now we should be thinking about how to escape from here …… Whether you want to kill me or whether you want to gouge my eyes or whether you want to gouge my eyes or whether you want to gouge my eyes or whether you want to gouge my eyes, at least wait to escape out and say so.”

“Humph!” The Little Demon Empress shook her hand and pushed Yun Che far away, “Escape? Are you still naively thinking that you can escape from the poisonous hands of the Ming King! Right now, it’s just a last ditch effort to survive.”

Yun Che frowned and said in a low voice, “I’ve experienced no less than ten more dangerous and desperate situations than this! But I still survived until now …… because even if I would have snapped in the next breath, I would have struggled at all costs in the previous breath! Not to mention one Ming King, even if it’s ten Ming Kings, I will never sit and wait for death!”

“Little Demon Empress, you are the Emperor of the Illusory Demons, in these hundred years, you have endured the pain of losing all your closest relatives, carried a weight that no one else could imagine, and had to face the world’s skepticism, the future of the Demon Emperor’s lineage, and the ambitions of the Huai Wang Palace. And even so, you guarded the throne of the emperor and the last dignity of the Demon Emperor Clan for a whole hundred years, King Huai was unable to crush you, and as strong as King Ming, even though he assassinated the first Demon Emperor and the young Demon Emperor, he was never able to truly do what he wanted because of you ……”

“Every time my father mentioned you, he did so with deep respect. And after I figured out the truth of everything, I also have immense admiration for you. It can be said that among the women I’ve seen in my life, aside from my master, you are the most remarkable one! You are the powerful Little Demon Empress, the only female emperor in the history of the Illusory Demon Realm …… Such a remarkable person, how could you be willing to resign yourself to this! I know that in order to save me, you have suffered a serious injury and your lifeline has been broken …… But, as long as you can escape from here today, even if you break your lifeline, I still have a way to let you live! Don’t forget, I was able to completely heal my parents’ heavy injuries for over twenty whole years!”

Little Demon Empress: “……”

Yun Che moved forward and stood in front of her, “Little Demon Empress, I have always believed that there are never ‘absolute’ things in this world! Even more so, there is no absolute ‘road to extinction’! If you are still not willing to die …… if you still want to personally avenge your father and the Little Demon Emperor …… then join me, use this brief respite to think of every way to escape at all costs!”

The Little Demon Empress was stunned, she looked at Yun Che’s eyes in a daze ……From within the pupils of Yun Che’s eyes, she saw worry, but no fear, not to mention a hint of despair! That divine splendor that belonged to him had not decreased by a single point either …… For the first time in her life, the light of a person’s eyes was so bright that it made her feel somewhat dazzling, and she was lost in thought for a long time. Even the soul, which had already begun to dim, had a strange throbbing.

“There is also, and the most important point!” Yun Che said incomparably seriously, “You should know that your Demon Emperor Clan has always possessed a secret that only the incumbent Demon Emperor, as well as the head of the Yun Family, would know! The first Demon Emperor was killed, and it was too late to tell this secret to the Little Demon Emperor, and my grandfather, too, suffered a calamity in the Tianxuan Continent……. And during the time that my grandfather and I met, not only did he hand over the Demon Emperor Seal to me, but even this most important secret of your Demon Emperor Clan was also told to me, to be conveyed to you in person!”

Yun Che’s words caused the Little Demon Empress’ spirit to jolt! As the daughter of the Demon Emperor, she of course knew of the existence of this secret, and although she had always been puzzled as to why this secret could be shared by the Yun Family’s head of the family, while the Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor was not allowed to know it before he succeeded to the throne, both she and the Little Demon Empress had never pursued the matter, even though she was even more curious. She had thought that with the first Demon Emperor and Demon King being killed one after another, this Demon Emperor’s secret would also be permanently buried from then on, and Yun Che had unexpectedly brought this Demon Emperor’s secret, back as well.

She looked at Yun Che’s eyes …… When he spoke, there was not a trace of falsehood in his eyes, ”This secret cannot be told to you in advance, naturally, it is not without reason. It is because it has to be the most crisis and critical moment before you can go and utilize it …… just like the current Demon Imperial Clan! If you were to learn about it in advance, once your fixation is lacking, you will do something irreversible!”

“Because, this is a …… method that will allow the Demon Emperor’s heir …… to step into the realm of Demigods, possessing the power of a half-step Divine Xuan!”

The realm of the Demigods …… half-step Divine Xuan!

This was a word that only existed in fantasies and legends, and even to the little demon queen, it was too dreamy.

“What did you say ……?” She murmured in disbelief.

“The words I just said were all told to me by my grandfather himself. If there is a single word that is false, let me fall into the eighteen layers of hell after death.” Yun Che’s gaze was without ripples as he locked eyes with the Little Demon Empress, incomparably serious and grave: “At that time, it will never be difficult for you to kill King Ming with your own hands! It would also be easy for you to move down King Huai’s Mansion! You can reorganize the Illusory Demon, and no one in the world will not follow! Those people and clans that have rebelled against you will also tremble and repent at your feet ……”

“As long as you can survive today, all of these, can be realized!”

“Therefore, you don’t have any reason to be a sitting duck appointed here!”

Half-step Divine Xuan …… Avenging Father …… Avenging Husband …… Reestablishing the Might of the Demon Emperor …… Reorganizing the Illusory Demon Realm ……

Every word of Yun Che’s words was like a thunderbolt that exploded in her soul. Her eyes began to lack the grayness and deadness, and began to tremble more and more violently, a deep longing that was frantically coalescing ……

Ka-ching!

Boom!

A thick purple thunderbolt struck down from the sky, blasting a huge crater out of the hard and incomparable Xuan Shi ground, and a strong aftershock radiated this way, bringing the already weak Little Demon Empress flying out heavily. Yun Che quickly flew up and caught the Little Demon Empress in the air in an instantaneous body, his right arm wrapped very lightly around her waist.

The Little Demon Empress’ robe was very wide, but her body, was incomparably thin. Especially her slender waist, which was like a tender willow that supported the wind, with Yun Che’s hands, it was completely easy to close it.

The Little Demon Empress’ entire body stiffened slightly, but this time, she didn’t shake Yun Che away, but instead said in a low voice: ”Go… …… I’m going to kill King Ming… I’m going to avenge my father and royal brother… …I can’t die here …… Take me away …… No matter what …… I can’t die here… …”

Yun Che’s words undoubtedly gave the Little Demon Empress incomparably great hope and longing. Yun Che smiled faintly, nodded heavily, and the arm holding her delicate waist slightly tightened: “You are much more familiar with the Golden Crow Thunderflame Valley than I am …… Which direction to go to is relatively the most favorable for us?”

“To the east …… the Land of the Ancestors is in that direction …… although it is impossible to enter without the Demon Emperor’s Seal …… but if we can get there before the Ming King finds us there …… the Golden Crow Sacred God …… might not sit idly by ……”

“Good!!!” Yun Che answered with force and executed the Illusory Lightning Thunder Extreme, with full speed, shooting towards the east like a thunderbolt. And in truth, both Yun Che and the Little Demon Empress clearly knew that wanting to reach the Golden Crow Ancestral Ground before the appearance of the Ming King was something that was nearly impossible.

And even if one could really reach there …… whether or not the Golden Crow Spirit would sit back and watch, there had already been an answer. Because with the ability of the Spirit of the True God, the entire Golden Crow Thunderflame Valley’s situation, it would certainly know everything. If it really would have stepped in to help, it would have done so as early as when the Little Demon Empress encountered King Ming and King Huai.

After all, it was the one who bestowed the Golden Crow power to the Demon Emperor lineage, and was a benefactor of their entire clan, not a guardian. It would not meddle in their affairs!

Yun Che’s description of the Little Demon Empress’s “Half-step Divine Xuan” secret was not false. At the time when the Demon Emperor Clan encountered a desperate situation, it would be possible to utilize this Demon Emperor Clan’s secret and possess the power of a Half-Step Divine Xuan …… that was absolutely invincible in this world. Thus, turning the tide and reviving the Demon Emperor Clan.

But these, and these described by Yun Che, were only half.

The other half was that although …… this secret method could allow those who possessed the Demon Emperor bloodline to obtain the power of a half-step Divine Xuan, their lifespan, too, would only be left for the last three years ……

This was also why Yun Che had already returned to Demon Emperor City for three whole months, but had never told the Little Demon Empress about this secret that Yun Canghai had asked him to convey.

Under the Illusory Lightning Thunder Extreme, Yun Che’s speed grew faster and faster, so fast that it caused the Little Demon Empress to be surprised in her heart. Having only the Xuan power of the Tianxuan realm, and not having overly strong Xuan power fluctuations on his body, yet being able to increase his speed to a realm comparable to the early Emperor stage, this was something that was simply impossible in any Xuanist’s perception.

Yun Che traveled all the way to the east, leaving the countless Fire Spirits and Thunder Spirits behind. His brows were locked tightly as his gaze continuously scanned ahead, searching for any possibilities.

The Little Demon Empress had said that this was the northwestern edge of the Golden Crow Thunderflame Valley, and looking north, there was no longer any red-burned earth to be seen there, no volcanoes included in the flames, and there was only a terrifying through-red color rolling around, just like an infinite blood purgatory.

Yun Che couldn’t help but ask, “What is at the edge of the Golden Crow Thunderflame Valley? Is it a spatial barrier?”

“No! It’s the entire 3,000 miles of lava! These lava rocks are by no means melted by ordinary rocks, but are arcane rocks that have been melted by the hottest Golden Crow Flames! These three thousand miles of lava surrounds the entire Golden Crow Thunderflame Valley and is known as the ‘Sea of Death’! If one dares to touch this Sea of Death, even if one is of the strength of a Ming King, one will be instantly traumatized, and if one dives into it, one will be burnt to ashes in just a few breaths! If we are poisoned by the Ming King here, he will definitely choose to throw us into the Sea of Death, annihilating all traces of us!!!”

Just as the Little Demon Empress’s voice fell, a very gentle, but a voice that was tantamount to a nightmare for them came from the sky above, “Heh heh heh, Princess Caiyi is really smart and clever as always, and coincides with this king’s thoughts.”

Yun Che’s movements violently stopped, his teeth clenched tightly as he looked ahead …… Just less than thirty feet ahead of him, the space was showing a violent distortion, and as his body came to a standstill, the distorted space was suddenly torn apart, and King Ming walked out of it with slow footsteps, his bright face carrying a light windy smile, and at his side, followed by King Huai who had a cold smile on his face.

“Ming …… King!!!” The Little Demon Queen stared dead on at the Ming King who appeared in front of her, and these two words that spilled out from between her teeth carried a deep pain …… and the greatest hatred and killing intent of her life.
