Chapter 379 – This Husband Will Handle It The

After swallowing the black pill, Long Yao suddenly felt a jolt in her mind, followed by an intense, tearing pain throughout her body!

“ROOOOAR!!!”

Long Yao threw her head back and let out a painful draconic roar, curling up on the ground in agony. A dense, strange, and dark beastly aura erupted uncontrollably from within her body!

“Mother, Mother…! I-I’m in so much pain!”

“There, there~ Just endure it a little longer~”

“It’s normal for it to hurt a little at the beginning, don’t worry~”

“Mother is lending you my power, you have to hold on~”

Yaohuo stood before Long Yao, a strange smile on her face as she gazed at the wailing, suffering figure at her feet.

Use your last bit of usefulness for me, my good child.

It is unknown how long passed, but Long Yao slowly awoke from her faint, sitting up and looking around the pitch-black, silent palace in a daze.

Yaohuo, who had been beside her, was long gone…

“Mother…”

Long Yao clutched her pain-wracked body and called out in a pitiful, weak voice.

After taking the black pill, she felt that all the injuries caused by the Demon Lord had miraculously healed! Her entire body was filled with a vast and powerful force! Her cultivation was now countless times greater than before; she had stepped into the Transcendent Immortal realm!

But the Woe Demon Poison on her body had worsened, the pain was unbearable, the black spots were spreading continuously, and blood dripped unceasingly from the rotting patches!

After several calls went unanswered, Long Yao, dragging a body so pained she was on the verge of tears, slowly sat down on the Beast Emperor’s throne in the center of the palace.

At this moment, the vast palace was pitch-black and deathly silent. Besides her, there was not a single other figure.

An endless feeling of emptiness and loneliness filled Long Yao’s heart, as if she had returned to the time when she was all alone…

As long as I kill those people, Mother will definitely come back to find her, give her a reward, and praise her… The others will also obediently return to her side.

This is probably a test Mother is giving her!

Long Yao thought quietly, sitting on the throne, a desolate smile on her lips.

……

Outside the Beast Emperor’s Imperial Capital.

After the torrential downpour, the sky had cleared. A rainbow stretched over the vast Imperial Capital.

And before the capital, the great army of the Southern Clan Alliance had arrived, a boundless sea of beast-people stretching as far as the eye could see.

Having marched all the way to the outskirts of the Imperial Capital, the scale of the Southern Clan Alliance’s army had reached over a million!

One could say that almost the entire Beast Realm now stood in opposition to the Dragon Emperor!

When Hu Shan’s group majestically marched into the Beast Emperor’s Imperial Capital, the entire city was already empty and desolate.

They encountered not a single trace of resistance or obstruction, as if entering an uninhabited land.

As the intelligence had suggested, even the Dragon Demon Clan under the Dragon Emperor’s command had already betrayed her, no longer willing to serve her.

The group pushed forward all the way and arrived inside the Beast Emperor’s Imperial Palace.

Here, they encountered the first person to block their path.

Long Chen, clad in dragon armor and holding a long spear, stood tall on the jade steps, his expression serious and resolute, having the air of one man holding the pass against a million!

“Long Chen, the Dragon Emperor’s power is already gone. Must you remain so obstinate?”

Hu Shan frowned and stepped forward to persuade him.

Although Long Chen was the Dragon Emperor’s trusted guard, he had actually never committed any cruel or tyrannical acts from beginning to end.

Back when the Dragon Emperor was rounding up the numerous clans, he had even shown mercy and let many clans go, allowing them to escape to the south.

Therefore, Hu Shan felt that Long Chen was not a person of great evil, and there was no need to make an enemy of him.

“Clan Chief Hu, it has been a long time.”

“I know that the Lord Dragon Emperor’s power is gone, and I had long anticipated this outcome.”

“But that has nothing to do with me standing here now.”

“I am Lord Dragon Emperor’s personal guard. To protect her is my duty!”

“If you wish to pass, then you’ll have to step over my dead body first!”

Long Chen’s expression hardened, a beastly aura spreading from his body as he revealed his half-dragon, half-human form and took a battle stance with his long spear!

Seeing this, Luo Ruying couldn’t help but furrow her beautiful brows slightly.

Could it be that Xiyao still hadn’t heeded her advice, hadn’t left, and had still chosen to return to the Imperial Palace…?

“Clan Chief Hu, I’ll handle this!”

Luo Ruying drew her Luo Shen Celestial Sword and stepped forward to meet him.

A vast celestial spirit spread behind her like a thin veil!

Long Chen’s expression was one of shock. Before he had even made a move, he felt an immense pressure in his heart.

His intuition told him this woman was very strong! Not someone he could withstand!

But so what if she was!

“Long Chen of the Dragon Demon Clan, please enlighten me!”

With a draconic roar, Long Chen took a step forward. His figure like a dragon, accompanied by a phantom dragon’s roar that echoed through the heavens, he pointed straight at Luo Ruying.

Luo Ruying’s beautiful eyes hardened. She casually slashed out a sword light of immortal lightning. The terrifying thunder and sword might instantly sliced open Long Chen’s phantom dragon shadow, piercing a hundred zhang into the distance!

The long spear in Long Chen’s hand shattered. A bloody wound was torn open on his shoulder, and he was blasted dozens of zhang away by the immortal lightning!

His body flew backward like a cannonball, smashing through the jade steps and piercing through one palace hall after another.

“Pfft!”

Long Chen spat out blood, lying in the rubble. He wanted to struggle to his feet, but his entire body was surging with electricity, completely numb.

This one sword strike was Luo Ruying showing great mercy.

Otherwise, it would have been enough to annihilate Long Chen!

Hu Shan’s group, standing behind, stared in shock at Luo Ruying’s graceful, immortal back.

With just a single sword strike, Long Chen, known as second only to the Dragon Emperor in the Dragon Demon Clan, had been defeated!

Is this the gap between a Transcendent Immortal and an Immortal Emperor…!

Before a Transcendent Immortal, even the cultivation of a peak Immortal Emperor was as powerless as a toddler!

“Clan Chief Hu, the rest of you wait here for a moment.”

After defeating Long Chen, Luo Ruying left a few words for Hu Shan’s group. Her gaze then turned to the grand palace hall on the jade steps, and holding her Luo Shen Celestial Sword, she ascended.

Ning Yechen left Yue Qingyou to look after Luo Hongye and accompanied Luo Ruying into the grand palace hall.

Inside the pitch-black and gloomy grand hall, a lone figure sat quietly on the throne.

“You’ve finally come~”

Long Yao looked down at Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying, a cold smile on her face that spoke of a long wait.

Seeing that Long Yao had indeed returned, Luo Ruying’s brows furrowed deeply, her heart aching for her.

In the end, she hadn’t listened to her advice and had chosen to return here after all…

“As long as I kill you, Mother will come back!”

Long Yao muttered softly to herself, then slowly stood up from the throne, a cold killing intent flashing in her eyes.

This time, she could not let Mother be disappointed again!

Luo Ruying stepped forward with her sword, wanting to persuade Long Yao again, but was stopped by Ning Yechen’s outstretched hand.

Gazing at Long Yao standing tall before the throne, Ning Yechen’s brows furrowed slightly, a trace of surprise flashing across his expression.

The injuries he had inflicted on Long Yao had actually healed completely in such a short time!

Furthermore, judging by the dense, ominous, and chaotic beastly aura on her body, it seemed she had even broken through her cultivation and stepped into the Transcendent Immortal realm!

How strange…!

“My wife, let this husband handle it.”
