Chapter 116: With Child

“This…”

Empress Dowager Chen froze on the spot, staring blankly like a wooden chicken, utterly dumbfounded, her almond-shaped eyes wide open.

It really was that time!

After all, owing to the rumors and gossip, Yu Wenhan had not entered the imperial harem for two months.

It could not have been his.

……

“What? Junior Brother Qin, do you have an objection?”

The smile on Mu Ruobai’s face faded. The astral energy around him gradually intensified, radiating the aura unique to an eighth-tier martial master. The atmosphere suddenly grew somewhat oppressive.

The requirement was a demonic beast at the pinnacle of the Qi Refining stage. Yet such beasts were rare and could only be encountered by chance.

Moreover, unless one had reached the Primordial Unity Grand Luo realm, one could not fully refine an innate supreme treasure. Naturally, self-detonating such a treasure was out of the question.

“If you can procure two more second-tier lightning-warding artifacts and combine them with a suitable lightning-warding formation, the success rate will approach sixty percent.” As Black Li spoke, he rummaged through his backpack and took out several needle- and thread-like objects. “Actually, the cultivation world has kept pace with the times as well.”

A surge of vitality so dense that even a Saint would be alarmed erupted with a thunderous roar, jolting Qin Ming awake from his state of comprehension.

When she saw that Qing Xu had come to see her, she was slightly surprised, but she still brought him to the courtyard of Perfected Master Cang Zhen.

With Special Commissioner Que waving the command pennant, the Bao Tao archers who had not yet advanced within firing range all drew their bows and shot skyward. The arrows descended into the Turkic remnants’ formation like clouds blotting out the heavens, filling the air with terrifying whistles.

This was an exhilarating moment, and almost the instant the broadcast ended, wave after wave of earth-shaking cheers erupted.

Fortunately, he still possessed an inner world that could help him recover. But allowing the stalemate to continue was not a solution either. The enemy’s Blood Fiend Formation, linked to this river-of-blood world, was inexhaustible; in terms of endurance, it was not even slightly inferior to him.

Li Cunxu and Song Jingang led the remnants in breaking out of Hanjia Granary City. They immediately dispatched scouts to send urgent reports to Du Ruhui and Li Jilong.

Bai Kun had indeed approached only after seeing Ji Yi and Princess Ancient Phoenix. He did not personally know Ji Yi, but he had witnessed Ji Yi’s performance in the Cavern of Myriad Souls. Ji Yi seemed to regard the young woman beside him—whom Bai Kun had also met once—as his private possession.

“Good! That’s it. As long as you keep holding on, you will definitely be able to defeat the enemy!” Coach Liu Canyue said calmly. He had noticed that the enemy heroes were drawing ever closer to Team Dream’s base.

“There are not many people in this world who can endure loneliness and solitude.” Zhan Qiwu, for his part, expressed his admiration.

While the spectators and true souls discussed the match among themselves, the enemy heroes had gradually reduced Team Dream’s inner defensive towers to two-thirds of their original health.

“I’m done, I’m done! Damn it, this is bullying!” Yuan Feng cried out as he dodged away. Chu Tianze’s slap had jolted all of them back to their senses.

“Swish!”

Zhen Mi’s pretty face flushed bright red. She wanted to explain something to Bian Xue, but Bian Xue had already turned and led the others away. Zhen Mi could only open and close her mouth, unable to say a word.

That force of incense-born merit struck the curse power, producing a tremendous boom as an invisible shock wave exploded outward.

“What happened in the Tomb of the Yuan Emperor five hundred years ago?” Chu Tianze asked as he leapt onto the head of the ancient demonic whale.

Fresh shoots sprouted once more, changing three times in a single day. In a very short span, they transformed from tender buds into towering trees.

Taken together, these were all the effects brought by the fused White Jade Belt. If it were regarded merely as a piece of equipment, its additional effects alone would be enough to elevate it into the ranks of legendary equipment.
