Chapter 182: When Enemies Meet, Their Eyes Burn with Fury

Boom!

Thunderous roars echoed from deep within Bei Nianyu's Bloodline, and a blinding light radiated from her body.

Produced by the System, it must be a masterpiece!

The black Qi on her shoulder was instantly cleared away, and her pierced shoulder was restored to its original state, leaving no trace behind.

That Empress Bloodline returned by the System overbearingly remodeled her blood, meridians, and bone marrow—every part of her, inside and out.

Bei Nianyu's aura, which had become extremely weak, now soared rapidly.

Second level of the Saint Realm!

Third level of the Saint Realm!

…

Tenth level of the Saint Realm!

Half-Emperor!

…

In just a few breaths, Bei Nianyu underwent a complete metamorphosis.

A majesty that seemed to originate from the primordial era spread out from her.

Behind her, a blurry phantom of the Ancient Heavenly Kun slowly emerged, perfectly fusing with the overbearing Empress Bloodline. The once-blurry phantom now became incredibly solid, emitting endless pressure.

Bei Nianyu's tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open.

Just a trace of her aura leaking out caused the rock walls of the Immortal Cave to instantly be covered in web-like cracks, and the entire Dragon Fall Abyss began to tremble.

A hint of confusion flashed in her eyes; she could clearly feel that not only was she unharmed, but her body also seemed to possess a power capable of destroying heaven and earth.

Although she didn't know what had happened, Bei Nianyu knew that all of this must have been Brother Zhou's doing.

Her intuition told her that if she encountered that Evil Spirit King again, she could suppress it with ease with her current strength.

Before she could organize her thoughts, Bei Nianyu's gaze instantly locked onto the unconscious Zhou Chen beside her.

"Brother Zhou!"

Bei Nianyu carefully pulled him into a tight embrace, sobbing, "Brother Zhou… from now on… it's my turn to protect you. I will never let you get hurt again!"

She slowly raised her head and looked at the remaining Evil Spirits in the Dragon Fall Abyss. Bei Nianyu's eyes were cold, and a terrifying killing intent radiated from her body.

In the next moment, she reached out her slender hand and tapped lightly at the void in front of her.

Buzz—!

Within the entire Dragon Fall Abyss, all the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi suddenly became incredibly violent, and all the Evil Spirits began to flee in unease.

"Those who dared to harm Brother Zhou… all of you, die!"

As her voice fell…

Roar—!!!

An Ancient Heavenly Kun, large enough to blot out the sun and reaching a height of a thousand feet, tore through the void and suddenly descended!

At this moment, it was like a True God descending. Its massive body almost filled the sky above the Dragon Fall Abyss, plunging the abyss into a deathly silent darkness.

In the next moment, the Ancient Heavenly Kun slowly opened its mouth.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

An irresistible and terrifying suction force suddenly appeared.

Woooo—

Awoooo—

Countless Evil Spirits let out desperate wails as they were frantically sucked into that abyssal maw.

Terrifying astral winds howled, kicking up gravel and dead wood into the sky; even the tough vegetation rooted in the rock walls was pulled up by the roots!

The entire Dragon Fall Abyss, except for the Immortal Cave where the two were, seemed to have turned into a storm-swept Forbidden Land.

Even the weaker Evil Spirits were torn apart the moment they were swept into the astral winds.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The wind… stopped.

At this moment, the Dragon Fall Abyss also became deathly silent.

The originally mysterious and gloomy Dragon Fall Abyss, shrouded in mist year-round, was now left with only bare, jagged mountain walls heavy with Death Qi.

On the ground, not even a pebble the size of a fingernail could be found; it was so clean it was heartbreaking.

If not for the slight energy fluctuations and the smell of blood remaining in the air, it would have seemed as if the Dragon Fall Abyss had always been like this.

If Zhou Chen were to wake up now and see this scene, his jaw would likely drop in shock.

…

After an unknown amount of time.

Zhou Chen woke up, his eyes slowly opening.

What met his eyes was Bei Nianyu's face, tear-streaked like a pear blossom in the rain.

"Brother Zhou! You're finally awake! Waaaah!"

Seeing Zhou Chen wake up, Bei Nianyu looked extremely happy, her voice carrying a hint of a sob.

Zhou Chen steadied his mind, and as he remembered everything that had happened before, his heart tightened.

Ignoring his weakness, he struggled to sit up and said, "Nianyu! How is your injury? Are you okay?"

He subconsciously reached out, gently touching Bei Nianyu's shoulder to check her injury.

"Brother Zhou, thank you…"

Feeling the warmth from Zhou Chen's hand, a warm current welled up in Bei Nianyu's heart.

Bei Nianyu said, "Although I don't know what happened to my body, I feel incredibly powerful now. Let me protect you from now on."

With that, she hugged Zhou Chen tightly.

Bei Nianyu's Ancient Heavenly Kun Bloodline was already powerful, and now that she had awakened the complete Empress Bloodline, her physical strength alone was incredibly exaggerated. Having just recovered, Zhou Chen was nearly knocked unconscious again by her sudden hug.

"Let go first, I need to take a Medicinal Pill," Zhou Chen said helplessly.

"Ah! Okay…"

Bei Nianyu released him, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Among the pile of Medicinal Pills Han Li had given Zhou Chen earlier were holy healing medicines. Thus, Zhou Chen rummaged through his System space and finally found that Saint-Rank Top-Grade Nine Revolutions Soul-Returning Pill.

After swallowing the pill, its powerful medicinal effects instantly dissolved within Zhou Chen's body. His exhausted body gradually regained strength as he continuously absorbed the Spiritual Qi from the pill.

Coupled with Zhou Chen's extraordinary Azure Lotus Dao Body, his recovery speed was astonishing. In just a few breaths, he felt his body had recovered by ten percent.

Looking up at Bei Nianyu, Zhou Chen's gaze was now very gentle yet tinged with complexity.

The young girl seemed to notice Zhou Chen's gaze. Her heart raced as he looked at her, and her face turned bright red. She lowered her head shyly and said, "Brother Zhou, why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?"

Zhou Chen was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly, "No, I just think you're very beautiful."

Hearing this, Bei Nianyu buried her head even deeper.

"System, check panel."

Zhou Chen checked Bei Nianyu's opportunity panel again.

[Realm: Eighth level of the Saint Realm]

[Fate: Daughter of Destiny (Gold), Favored by the Heavenly Dao (Gold), Turning Misfortune into Luck (Gold), Complete Empress Bloodline (Gold)]

[Destiny: Little Princess of the Northern Underworld Sea Region, Daughter of Destiny, possessing great Luck and extremely abundant opportunities. She will rule the world as an Empress, taking charge of the Northern Underworld Sea Region. Her Ancient Heavenly Kun Bloodline will fully awaken, and with the addition of the Empress Bloodline, she will eventually attain Immortal Ascension.]

On the other side.

Ji Wuming had just emerged from a certain ruin, having found some decent opportunities. His cultivation had also risen to the eighth level of the Saint Realm, leaving him in a very pleasant mood.

At this moment, he was alone on the Starry Sky Emperor Road, as Ye Xuan and Bai Yuting had temporarily separated from him.

With his strength greatly increased, he now wanted to find a lone Evil Spirit to test his skills.

However, within Ji Wuming's perception, a figure suddenly appeared ahead.

This person wore a blood-red robe, had a pale face, and possessed cold eyes. Strands of Blood-Fiend Qi emanated from his body; he clearly wasn't someone to be trifled with.

His cultivation was also not weak, having remarkably reached the seventh level of the Saint Realm.

Initially, Ji Wuming thought he was just a passerby he could suppress at will.

However, when he saw the bronze mask on the other's face, his anger flared up instantly.

It was actually that bastard, Blood Wuhen!

At this moment, Blood Wuhen also noticed Ji Wuming. The Slaughter Sword Intent on Ji Wuming was far too obvious.

Moreover, there were very few people on the entire Starry Sky Emperor Road who could Cultivate the Slaughter Sword Intent to such a level. Therefore, Blood Wuhen was certain that Ji Wuming was the person who had snatched his Cultivation Technique and humiliated him back then.

When enemies meet, their eyes burn with fury!
