Chapter 1385: Magic Energy Overflow

What did it mean for a twelve-year-old to be a Tyrant Emperor? It was enough to make even Grandmaster-level Profound Way experts die of shame.

Recalling when Yun Che himself broke through to the Tyrant Emperor Realm, his state of mind was exceptionally calm and peaceful. But upon hearing of Yun Wuxin's breakthrough, the excitement in his heart was thousands of times greater than his own. He burst into wild cheers, disregarding his image, and spun Yun Wuxin around in the snow more than a dozen times...

He spun until he was dizzy. If Feng Xue'er hadn't quickly stabilized him with profound energy, he would have surely fallen headfirst into the snow.

A red silhouette appeared above, and Feng Xue'er's ethereal figure descended. She smiled as she looked at the father and daughter. Then she spoke, "Brother Yun, Xin'er not only successfully broke through, but her 'Phoenix Nirvana Divine Canon' has also reached Grand Perfection."

Feng Xue'er's words made Yun Che stiffen, almost unable to believe his ears.

"Although her profound energy limits her from releasing 'World-Shattering Red Lotus' and the illusionary divine art 'Phoenix Descent,' this is purely due to her limited profound energy. She has already mastered these two ultimate states of Phoenix flame power, even before me."

"Hehehe," Yun Wuxin giggled, her face beaming. "Master said I'm amazing, Daddy, hurry and praise me too!"

Yun Che, however, remained stunned for a good while.

In just over a year, she cultivated the Phoenix Nirvana Divine Canon to Grand Perfection; she even mastered the realms of World-Shattering Red Lotus and Phoenix Descent. Yun Wuxin didn't know that this was far beyond "amazing"—it was utterly world-shattering and astounding.

Yan Juehai, the Phoenix Sect Master of the Blazing Heaven Realm, had lived for over ten thousand years, yet he had never managed to cultivate the World-Shattering Red Lotus!

Before Yun Wuxin, only Yun Che had truly cultivated it. And with Yun Che's profound veins crippled, Yun Wuxin was now undoubtedly the only person in the world who had fully comprehended the World-Shattering Red Lotus realm.

Not even Feng Xue'er had managed to achieve it.

If Yan Juehai were here and saw Feng Xue'er's bloodline and Yun Wuxin's progress, he'd likely fall to his knees in awe.

In terms of Phoenix bloodline, Yun Che was far inferior to Feng Xue'er. And Yun Wuxin's Phoenix bloodline, inherited from Yun Che, naturally couldn't compare to Feng Xue'er's. Yet, she managed to cultivate the Phoenix Nirvana Divine Canon to Grand Perfection in just over a year. The only explanation, naturally, was the Evil God's divine aura she inherited from Yun Che in her profound veins.

After a moment of dazed silence, Yun Che broke into a deeply contented smile. Although his own profound veins were crippled, leaving such talent for his daughter filled him with immense joy and satisfaction. He felt an inexpressible sense of happiness, one that nothing else could replace.

This was the kind of fulfillment and happiness only a father could experience.

"Xin'er, you are your father's greatest pride... in this entire life," he said to his daughter, his voice filled with sincerity.

"Heh!" Hearing her father's praise, Yun Wuxin's smile grew even brighter. "So... what reward are you going to give me, Daddy?"

"Uh... what kind of reward do you want?"

Yun Wuxin had clearly already thought about it, and immediately chirped, "I want Daddy to come fishing with me on the ocean!"

"Hmm? Wasn't that supposed to be your thirteenth birthday present?" Yun Che teased, his eyes wide with a smile.

"I don't care! I want it now!" Yun Wuxin tugged at his neck.

"Alright, alright," Yun Che laughed loudly. "Whatever Xin'er says goes today! Let's go now, let's go now!"

"Xue'er, please get me the fishing gear I just finished making a while ago. And also... cancel all afternoon appointments with the Su family and Old Man Ziji. Today, Xin'er and I are having a fair and square fishing competition!"

Smiling as she watched the father and daughter, who stuck to each other like sweet rice cakes whenever they met, Feng Xue'er suddenly felt a longing for a child of her own.

Azure Cloud Continent, Cliff of Absolute Cloud.

Standing at the edge of the Cliff of Absolute Cloud, Lin Jun, Lin Qingshan, and Lin Qingyu all showed a change in expression.

The sun was blazing high, but the abyss below their feet was eerily dark. Even with Lin Qingshan and Lin Qingyu's Divine Soul Realm cultivation, their vision couldn't penetrate more than a hundred zhang downwards.

They detected no abnormal auras either... yet an inexplicable chill ran through their bodies.

Lin Jun's brows, however, were deeply furrowed.

Even here, the demonic energy was still very weak, almost no different from a thousand li away. This didn't reassure him; instead, it filled him with a very unsettling premonition.

"Master, is the demonic energy truly coming from here? Why can't I feel anything?" Lin Qingshan asked.

"The level of this demonic energy is far higher than you imagine. Of course, you wouldn't perceive it with your spiritual sense," Lin Jun said in a deep voice.

Lin Qingshan suddenly turned, his face filled with disbelief.

He was a Divine Way profound practitioner from the God Realm, considered a "genius" among the younger generation in their star realm. Yet, below him was merely a lowly lower realm planet. How could there be an aura far surpassing his own level?

Of course, he dared not disbelieve his master's words. This meant that any demon, demonic spirit, or demonic beast hidden beneath this abyss could easily destroy him.

"Hmph!" Lin Jun snorted softly. "Though its level is high, its weakness suggests it's severely wounded and at its limits... Heh, if we can capture or kill it, it would certainly be a great achievement among great achievements."

"Let's go, let's take a look!"

After speaking, Lin Jun's body rapidly descended into the Absolute Cloud Abyss. Lin Qingyu and Lin Qingshan exchanged glances, then steeled themselves and followed.

As soon as they entered the Absolute Cloud Abyss and began to descend, the world before them turned pitch black. Looking up, they couldn't see even a speck of light from above.

This eerie scene, beyond their comprehension, made Lin Qingshan and Lin Qingyu's hearts pound. Lin Jun, however, didn't stop, continuing his descent, albeit not quickly.

In the darkness, a cold wind whistled past their ears. After descending several thousand zhang, at this depth, Lin Qingshan and Lin Qingyu finally sensed something, and blurted out simultaneously, "Dark demonic energy!"

It was at this moment that Lin Jun's figure suddenly stopped. He simultaneously released a burst of profound energy, firmly fixing their bodies in place as well.

"Master?"

Lin Jun gave no reply. He seemed frozen in place by an invisible force, unable to move a muscle; only his pupils constricted violently. All the hairs on his body stood on end.

This was because he vaguely sensed that further down, there was a strange isolating barrier.

On the other side of the barrier was an independent minor world.

The extremely high-level yet remarkably weak demonic energy he had sensed was overflowing from this "minor world" beyond the barrier, and absolutely not from some demon at its last gasp, as he had originally imagined.

Just a slight overflow was terrifying to such an extent. What a terrifying dark world must exist within the abyss below!

It was so terrifying that even he, an elder from a God Realm Realm King sect, dared not imagine it.

"Go... quick, go!"

He spoke in a low voice, then directly grabbed the two disciples. He had just shot upwards, but before his profound energy fully surged, he forcibly suppressed it again, carefully concealing his aura, and flew back upwards with his two disciples at an extremely slow pace.

He feared that they might disturb the dark world below.

Lin Jun's terrifying tone instantly silenced the two disciples, and they hastily reined in their auras.

The cold wind whistled past their ears again. After a prolonged period of darkness, light finally reappeared in the world. However, the light after such pure darkness was too blinding, causing Lin Qingshan and Lin Qingyu's eyes to snap shut. When they opened their eyes, they were already standing at the edge of the Cliff of Absolute Cloud.

Just as they were about to speak, they both saw their Master Lin Jun, standing in front of them, completely drenched in cold sweat.

"Master," Lin Qingyu asked, "Could it be a demon that even you can't handle?"

"Heh... hehehe..." Drenched in cold sweat, Lin Jun was laughing. He turned around, his face a strange expression, and slowly said, "This must be a blessing from the heavens... hehehe... hahahaha..."

His sudden burst of laughter made the two disciples look at each other in confusion. But then they heard Lin Jun's voice, barely containing his excitement: "Down there, it's not a demon, but... a hidden Dark Demonic Realm!"

"Dark... Demonic Realm!?" These four words were enough to astound anyone.

"The aura of this dark minor world is extremely high-level. It might even be comparable to a lower star realm in the Northern Divine Region... or even a middle star realm! No... merely the overflowing aura is so astonishing, it might be even higher." Lin Jun grew more excited as he spoke: "Who would have thought that a small, lower realm planet would hide an independent demonic realm!"

"What's more, this demonic realm might even be larger than this small planet itself."

"This..." The two disciples grew more astonished with each word. An independent dark world comparable to a lower star realm of the Northern Divine Region—or more accurately, the Northern Demonic Region—or even a middle star realm? How was this possible?!

"This independent demonic realm must have existed for a long time. Perhaps it's a race from the Northern Divine Region hidden here, or perhaps it's one of the 'strongholds' set up by a Northern Divine Region King Realm to spy on our Eastern Divine Region. This strangely dark abyss is the entrance to the demonic realm, and above the entrance is an isolating barrier. It's likely that the barrier's power has recently weakened, allowing some demonic energy to seep out, which led to the profound beast unrest on this continent and allowed your master to detect it."

Upon hearing this, the shock on Lin Qingshan and Lin Qingyu's faces gradually gave way to increasingly intense excitement.

Discovering a demon and discovering a hidden demonic realm were clearly two completely different concepts. The former was a merit; the latter was undoubtedly a colossal, heaven-sent achievement!

Dark profound energy, in the perception of the Eastern, Western, and Southern Divine Regions, was an evil profound art that should not exist and must be eradicated upon discovery. The Northern Divine Region, a special existence among the four divine regions, was not only completely isolated by the other three divine regions but was also branded as the "Demonic Region." And as the Yin energy in the Chaos grew increasingly sparse, the Northern Divine Region was gradually shrinking, destined to perish one day, not by destruction, but by fading away.

Three years ago, at the Profound God Convention, during the most anticipated Conferred God Battle, "Only Hate" suddenly unleashed dark profound energy on the Conferred God Stage, dying alongside Li Jianming. While severely damaging the prestige of the Brahma Heaven God Realm, this incident also completely ignited the wrath of the Brahma Heaven God Realm and all Eastern Region profound practitioners, leading them to immediately issue the Brahma Heaven's Decree, fully clearing out hidden demons in the Eastern Divine Region.

If they could inform the Brahma Heaven Arbiters about the existence of this demonic realm, they could scarcely imagine what rewards the Brahma Heaven God Realm would bestow upon them.

"Master, should we immediately recall Junior Sister Qingrou?" Lin Qingshan asked.

"No rush," Lin Jun said, stroking his short beard, his eyes gleaming. "Since we are on the same lower realm planet, she might make other discoveries on another continent. Before she returns, let's split up and thoroughly investigate this continent ourselves... Hehehe, after today, the fate of us, master and disciples, is going to change completely."
