Di Xiong Yuan gritted his teeth, leaving the Di Family at an astonishing speed, following the flow of water towards Qianying Lake.
He soon arrived at the Thousand Shadows Lake, and once again used the ring to teleport himself to the bottom of the lake.
However, he did not see the whirlpool.
“What’s going on!?”
At this time, Di Xiongyuan’s body had returned to its normal size.
He stared at the empty lake bed before him, his brow furrowed.
But he was not in a hurry.
Di Xiong Yuan waited for a while, then murmured to himself: “It seems that the entrance was closed by some reason. It doesn’t matter.”
Having said that, Di Xiong Yuan chanted an incantation with his mouth and raised his left hand.
His left hand blazed with black light.
“Whoosh!”
The water at the bottom of the lake began to roll, slowly forming a whirlpool.
Soon, a complete vortex appeared again.
Emperor Xiong’s face was smiling as he flew forward, instantly being sucked into the center of the vortex.
Shortly after he entered the whirlpool, another figure appeared before it.
It’s Fang Yu!
“Sure enough, it’s related to the Imperial Family.” Fang Yu’s smile was even more brilliant.
……
Emperor Xiong Yuan entered the nest.
He took a few steps forward, gazing at the embryo still absorbing nutrients ahead, a wicked grin spreading across his face.
The performance of the experimental subject after the Emperor Chen fusion was seen as a failure in the eyes of other, extremely powerful individuals and members of the imperial family.
But in Di Xiong Yuan’s eyes, that was a complete success!
He had known all along that Di Chen’s will would be devoured and completely eroded by the demonic nature.
Whether or not the subject is mature, this is unavoidable.
And the claims that could previously retain psychic abilities were actually to deceive other members of the family.
After all, when this plan was first proposed, all the core members of the tribe were against it. The reactions from the other elders were even more intense.
There was no other way, so Di Xiong Yuan had to spend a long time using various excuses and deceptions to sway and cheat these people until he gained their consent and support.
After that, many core members of the Di family were brainwashed, enthusiastically agreeing to and participating in this plan.
But they never dreamed that they, who had joined this plan in order to improve their own strength, were actually just being used as nourishment for the true embryo of this Great Shadow Demon!
As for those so-called experimental subjects, they are nothing more than defective and inferior products created by Di Xiong Yuan using demonic fetuses.
Di Xiong Yuan is using these defective and inferior goods to give the Di family members a false hope.
Their blood essence and cultivation were gradually being absorbed during this period.
And this absorption method is basically invisible to the surface.
But in fact, every single person within the imperial family’s world has their lifespan and cultivation base being reduced.
…and they were reduced without even realizing it!
If such a thing happened to another family, it would be an extremely vicious extermination plot.
The Di family, with over 20,000 people, could never have dreamed that the person they trusted the most, their eldest master, would do such a thing to them!
The only beneficiary of the whole plan… is Di Xiong Yuan himself!
All others are stepping stones.
Di Xiong’s smile grew wider and wider as he gazed at the colossal, black-hued Shadow Demon embryo unfolding before him.
From beginning to end, the only magic fetus that has truly been cultivated… is the one before me.
This is what he left for himself.
Di Xiong Yuan took a few steps forward and immediately felt the bone-chilling cold, freezing his limbs.
He stopped and looked at the girl sleeping in a corner, hugging her knees to her chest.
It is Cao Tian.
A flash of light passed through Di Xiongyuan’s eyes, and Cao Tian jolted awake.
Her eyes were vacant, she rose to her feet, and walked slowly towards the demonic fetus ahead.
The biting cold was nothing to her.
Cao Tian walked numbly to the front of the demon embryo, looking at Di Xiong Yuan, as if waiting for orders.
Di Xiong Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
The demon fetus is almost fully developed, but not quite yet.
Now, he has no other choice.
You must merge with the demon fetus as soon as possible, and then leave here to adapt to your new body.
As for what comes next…
“Take it off and swallow it.” Di Xiongyuan ordered without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Cao Tian raised her hands and grabbed toward the demon fetus in front of her.
Emperor Xiong’s face was expressionless.
He can’t get close to the current demon fetus, but Cao Tian’s physique can.
Therefore, he had Cao Tian swallow the Demon Embryo first.
After the fusion of the demon fetus and Cao Tian, he swallowed Cao Tian again…
This way, it’s like he swallowed the demonic fetus directly.
At this time, Cao Tian had already held the Demon Embryo in both hands and placed it before her.
Di Xiong Yuan looked at Cao Tian, his eyes full of expectation.
Since he discovered the inheritance of the Great Shadow Demon, he had been plotting for this day.
Now, the time has finally come!
“Swallow.” Di Xiong Yuan urged impatiently.
“Don’t swallow.”
Just then, another voice suddenly rang out from within the nest!
Di Xiong Yuan’s face changed drastically, he turned his head to look.
But he didn’t see anyone.
He turned back and saw Fang Yu already standing beside Cao Tian.
“You!” Di Xiongyuan was taken aback, pointing at Fang Yu.
And at this moment, Fang Yu reached out and patted Cao Tian’s head.
Cao Tian’s whole body shook, and her eyes regained their sparkle.
She looked at the embryo in her hand, screamed in fright, and threw her hands forward.
That demon fetus then flew out.
Di Xiong Yuan reacted extremely quickly, gritting his teeth and running towards the demon fetus.
Even if he couldn’t bear the cold, he wouldn’t allow the demon fetus to be taken by Fang Yu!
“Boom!”
But just at that moment, a bolt of energy slammed into him.
Di Xiong Yuan was unable to dodge and took the blow head-on.
“Bang!”
He cried out in pain, flying backward and crashing hard against the wall.
Fang Yu then extended his right palm towards the demonic fetus in mid-air.
Whoosh!
Powerful suction, to draw the demon fetus in.
“This is mine! It’s mine!”
Di Xiong Yuan went mad, roaring as his cultivation base of the Fourth Heaven of Transcending Tribulation fully erupted!
“With my fusion of the demonic fetus, I can slay even immortals and gods!”
He cried out, charging once more at the demon fetus.
At this moment, the demon embryo flying towards Fang Yu… happened to face Emperor Xiongyuan!
It… suddenly opened its eyes!
“
Bang!
”
The entire space distorts again!
Immediately, a scream of pain came from Di Xiong Yuan!
While Fang Yu and Cao Tian were swept away by a powerful force, they were directly blasted out of the nest.
<<>>
The surface of the lake exploded with water.
Fan Yu held Cao Tian in one hand and flew into the air.
At this moment, Cao Tian had been frightened so badly that her eyes were tightly shut and her body was trembling violently.
Fang Yu’s brow furrowed, his gaze fixed on the lake below.
“Boom…”
The lake surface churned with giant waves that spread incessantly!
Soon, the entire Qianying Lake was boiling with waves surging!
From Fang Yu’s position, one could see… At the bottom of the lake, a patch of inky black was rapidly spreading, as if it were going to dye the entire Qianying Lake black!
A chilling breeze rose from below.
A wave of ancient and terrifying aura suddenly erupted.
Fang Yu looked down at the lake surface, his brow furrowed.
He knew that some terrifying entity… was about to awaken.
