Chapter 588 - 17: Celestial Sect, Killing Intent, Smile

The Hidden Demon Sect’s three remaining Guardians—Profound City, Huang Snake, and Ascendant Blood Lotus—had all been beheaded, devoid of life.

The allies she had summoned from the Ancient Evil Race and the Demon Race were nothing but severed limbs and torsos scattered throughout the void.

As for the dozens of Tier Five Demon Beasts, they had long since perished.

She simply couldn’t imagine who could, in a mere instant and with just a single strand of Sword Qi, slaughter the entire Hidden Demon Sect.

Such overwhelming power... she had only ever felt it from the Demon Lord.

She looked toward the "Celestial Venerable of Universal Transformation" and saw a dark red Demonic Qi spreading like a vast ocean from behind the Profound Gold Spiritual Mechanism, sweeping across the Grotto Heaven. Wherever it passed, the fallen corpses suddenly erupted with an even more intense Demonic Qi.

The entire Grotto Heaven Secret Realm seemed as if it had been set ablaze by the dark red Demonic Qi. Incredibly dense Demonic Qi billowed like thick smoke from the corpses of the Tribulation Realm Great Powers, converging in the firmament above.

Ultimately, all the dark red Demonic Qi flowed back, converging behind the "Celestial Venerable of Universal Transformation."

The Demon Flames surged to the heavens!

Even a titan of her realm like the Night Queen felt a trace of fear in her heart. ’At my peak, I doubt I’d be a match for this mysterious monster, let alone now while I’m injured...’

"Are you truly Fang Cheng of the Red Profound Association? I have met that Fang Cheng once before, but I fail to see the connection between him and Your Excellency."

She put on a charming smile, her alluring gaze shifting as she plotted her escape. But when she saw the cold, mocking sneer on the face of the "Celestial Venerable of Universal Transformation," her heart sank.

’If only Bitter Elder and Master Xiaoyao were here...’

The thought had barely formed when an ethereal yet incomparably sharp strand of Sword Qi slashed down at her forehead.

SWISH!

The sword light flashed, and the Night Queen’s body was split in two. Yet, bizarrely, she was not dead.

The two halves of her body transformed into two beams of Demonic Light that shot apart, only to instantly merge back together. She reappeared, seemingly unharmed, though her aura was slightly diminished.

Witnessing this, the "Celestial Venerable of Universal Transformation" said with sudden understanding, "No wonder the Dragon Elephant Wanderer couldn’t kill you."

The Night Queen let out a soft laugh, giving the "Celestial Venerable of Universal Transformation" an enchanting glance. She feigned a pout and said, "Why so angry, Your Excellency? Why not sit and have a drink with me? Wouldn’t that be much nicer than all this fighting and killing?"

Her voice contained a strange, demonic charm that soothed Fang Cheng’s spirit, making him momentarily forget why he had come.

Stranger still, as her voice faded, the entire Grotto Heaven Secret Realm transformed in an instant. As far as the eye could see, a sea of clouds surrounded magnificent Celestial Palaces. Immortal Cranes and Spirit Deer roamed among lush, flowering trees.

What’s more, countless young women with graceful figures and stunning beauty drifted over, their robes fluttering in the wind, to welcome Fang Cheng into the resplendent golden Celestial Palace.

"A paltry Illusion Technique. How dare you show off such a clumsy trick."

A deep, mechanical voice resounded. Ignoring the fragrant, enchanting, and immortal-filled surroundings, the "Celestial Venerable of Universal Transformation" brought two colossal star-millstones together, instantly crushing the Celestial Palace.

As the great millstones slowly ground together, the Demonic Light around the Night Queen’s body was completely extinguished.

Her face paled, but she put on a pitiful yet alluring expression and chuckled softly. "Your Excellency is so unromantic. Since you can’t kill me right away, why not have a little fun with me instead?"

CHK!

Suddenly, a Profound Gold hand burst forth from the Night Queen’s ample chest.

Dark red Demonic Qi surged frantically into the Night Queen’s body.

The moment the Taishi Demon Qi invaded the Night Queen’s body, a look of sheer terror spread across the face of the Demon Dao titan.

"Why aren’t you laughing now?"

...
