Chapter 609: 逆天的蛋液

Golden streams of energy overflowed from his body, intertwining behind him. As the energy streams multiplied, they eventually wove together into a ten-zhang golden phantasm with a blurred face. It was extraordinarily valiant, radiating golden light from head to toe. Its eight arms spread out, emitting a brilliant, world-illuminating radiance, like an eight-armed deity!

As Jiang Fan unleashed a palm strike forward, the ten-zhang divine phantasm moved. Two of its eight palms blasted forward with Jiang Fan, sending out two golden bursts of fist wind instantly. RUMBLE— The stone door of the secret chamber was obliterated into dust by the golden fist wind. The fist wind’s momentum did not diminish; it tore through the hall's walls, pierced the sky above the Demon Emperor's Palace, and continued its path into a thick layer of demon clouds in the sky.

Inside the demon clouds, the Demon Emperor, who was meditating cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes. With a raised hand, he captured the two now-faint golden lights in his palm. A slight stinging sensation on his skin was felt. The Demon Emperor narrowed his eyes: "What is this? Such domineering power!"

He stood up and looked towards the Glazed Palace, following the lingering golden afterimage. "Jiang Fan? What is he cultivating?" A hint of uncertainty clouded the Demon Emperor's eyes. He was even tempted by this cultivation technique. Considering he still needed to cooperate with Jiang Fan for now, he closed his eyes and resumed his cross-legged meditation.

Inside the secret chamber, Jiang Fan gazed at the shattered stone door, the collapsed palace walls, and the golden afterimage stretching to the horizon. He was stunned. Even the Six Paths Immortal gasped. "Kid, what terrifying thing have you cultivated? With the might of that single strike, few below the ninth layer of Core Formation would be able to withstand it."

Jiang Fan was also speechless for a long time. He had cultivated the Divine Elephant, one of the Four Symbols. Due to the limitations of true spirit blood, he had only cultivated it to the minor accomplishment stage. Yet, its power still astonished Jiang Fan. The divine phantasm behind him had only extended two hands. What would its power be if all eight arms struck simultaneously? Jiang Fan even felt that invincibility within the Core Formation realm was a conservative estimate. He might even be able to contend with Nascent Soul cultivators.

His eyes glowed with fervor. If he could acquire more true spirit blood and cultivate the Divine Elephant to completion, he could absolutely walk unchallenged in the current world, fearing no enemy.

"Jiang Fan! What on earth are you doing?" Such a massive commotion had startled Liu Li in her distant secret chamber. She said with slight annoyance, "What if you scare our baby?" Jiang Fan’s mouth twitched.

Suddenly, Jiang Fan noticed there was still a jade box of egg fluid left. This was a spiritual liquid used to cultivate the descendants of demon sages, harmful and useless to humans. But for demons, it was an absolute treasure. He poured a small bottle and said, "Then drink some of this." Liu Li instinctively took it, and upon smelling the egg fluid, she immediately felt refreshed. A deep-seated longing, rising from her heart, astonished her even more.

"What is this? It seems... it seems extraordinary." Jiang Fan was surprised. Liu Li was the Demon Emperor's daughter; what good things hadn't she seen? Yet it could make her lose her composure like this. The importance of this egg fluid to the demon race seemed even more precious than anticipated.

"It's a fetal protection medicine I prepared; drink it," Jiang Fan casually said. Fetal protection medicine? Liu Li didn't think it looked like one, but her intuition told her it was definitely something good. Without much hesitation, she drank it all down on the spot.

The taste was cool and smooth, and tendrils of mysterious power permeated her entire body. CRACKLE, CRACKLE— Her body underwent a qualitative transformation on the spot. Her demonic aura leaped directly from the fifth layer of Core Formation to the sixth layer. Then, from the sixth layer of Core Formation, it leaped to the seventh layer! Finally, it settled at the peak of the seventh layer of Core Formation.

And that wasn't all. Her bloodline talent also improved. A faint, ephemeral phantom of an ancient Tengshe dragon briefly flashed behind her. Far away, on the demon cloud, the Demon Emperor seemed to sense something and suddenly opened his eyes. A hint of surprise appeared on his face. "Who awakened an ancient bloodline?" He stood up and looked around, but the aura had flashed and disappeared, impossible to trace. "How can this be? The demon race of today is already separated by thousands of years from their ancestors; their bloodlines are incredibly diluted. How could an ancient bloodline be awakened?" The Demon Emperor found it hard to believe. He even suspected he had sensed it incorrectly.

Inside the Glazed Palace, Liu Li slowly opened her eyes. Noticing the immense changes within and without, she widened her eyes in disbelief. "I... I'm at the seventh layer of Core Formation? And my bloodline seems to have made a qualitative leap!" She exclaimed with continuous surprise, "Jiang Fan, what exactly did you give me to drink? It's so heaven-defying!"

Jiang Fan calmly replied, "I told you, it's fetal protection medicine. You absolutely must not spread this information. These are all prepared for you. If word gets out and others ask for it, should I give it to them or not?" "Of course not!" Liu Li anxiously said, "This is for our child! If you dare give it to any outsider, I'll... I'll tear you apart!"

Such a heaven-defying fetal protection medicine! As a mother, she had already gained so much; she couldn't imagine the astonishing benefits her child in the womb had received. If she continued to drink it, would the child be at the late Core Formation realm upon birth? Or even at the Nascent Soul realm? Thinking of this, her beautiful eyes sparkled with glistening light.

Little did she know, Jiang Fan was even more astonished than her. The effects of this egg fluid were simply more heaven-defying than thousand-year clam meat! Besides greatly enhancing the demon race's cultivation realm, it actually caused the demon race to awaken a mysterious bloodline! Jiang Fan had clearly seen the fleeting purple Tengshe dragon just now. That bloodline, he feared, was probably no weaker than the Demon Emperor's, right? If such a thing were to spread, the Demon Emperor would surely drop all pretense and snatch it, wouldn't he? That's why he lied to Liu Li, calling it fetal protection medicine. Her protectiveness over the child in her womb made her even more worried than Jiang Fan about outsiders knowing about the "fetal protection medicine."

"Alright, alright, it's all for our child." Jiang Fan was caught between laughter and tears. Only then did Liu Li feel relieved. She gently touched her rounded belly, her eyes filled with maternal radiance. When she looked at Jiang Fan again, her gaze was no longer as hateful as before. She softly hummed, "At least you're showing some responsibility as a father. Since you've brought such precious fetal protection medicine for our child, I'll forgive you for the bad things you did to me before. However, this doesn't mean I acknowledge you as my husband. From now on, we'll still sleep in separate rooms. We'll only be husband and wife in name."

Jiang Fan shrugged: "Couldn't ask for more." "You!" Liu Li gritted her teeth. What was this guy pretending to be? When he had ravaged her so much she couldn't get up, and made her belly big, wasn't he full of vigor and strength? Now he acted completely indifferent. A heartless guy who just pulls up his pants and walks away!

Just then, a demon maid came to report: "Young Master Liu Li, Miss Ling Shu knows you've been unconfined and specifically invites you to jointly decipher the Tiger Demon Emperor's Relic Casket." Liu Li snorted: "Deciphering the Tiger Demon Emperor's Relic Casket? What is that? That broken casket is covered in ancient demon script; no one can even recognize it! She knows I'm about to marry a human, so she wants to mock me, doesn't she?" She knew Ling Shu too well. As one of the Four Stars of the demon race, Ling Shu had always resented Liu Li, the Demon Emperor's daughter. She constantly competed with her. Now, her marriage to a human had become the talk of the entire demon race; she must have mocked her incessantly.

Jiang Fan's heart stirred slightly. The Tiger Demon Emperor's Relic Casket with ancient demon script? Could it be a casket that requires deciphering ancient demon script to open? A single bottle of the Tiger Demon Emperor's essence blood was a sacred item for body cultivators. This casket, specifically sealed with ancient demon script—could it be simple?
