“`
Otherwise, he could have fully digested the Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill, enhancing his powers even further.
If Lu Changsheng had gotten that divine pill before confronting Demon Monarch Huanye, he could have crushed Demon Monarch Huanye.
“It would have been great if there were a few more Ancestral Dragon Blood Pills.”
Lu Changsheng finished simulating, put away the precious Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill, and continued to travel and teach his disciple.
After Demon Monarch Huanye, no powerful figures from the Demon Realm pursued them.
A hundred years later, Lu Changsheng and his companions arrived at the entrance.
At one of the eighty-one entrances of the Mountain Protection Array of Qianyuan Cave Heaven, a group of cultivators was under siege from powerful beings of the Demon Realm and the Blood Sea Palace.
Among them was the son of the Heavenly Emperor—Ku.
Clothed in golden armor and with the body of a Great Accomplished Immortal Emperor, Ku was fiercely contending against Divine King-powerful figures.
As the son of the Heavenly Emperor, Ku possessed one of the most overbearing special physiques between heaven and earth, and he had various life-saving magic treasures given by the Heavenly Emperor, making his strength terrifyingly formidable.
However, the Demon Realm’s formidable figure specially tasked with dealing with Ku was a fifth-grade Divine King, who also had a special physique.
“Ten Thousand Refinements Demonic Body?”
Ku’s face turned pale.
As the foremost among the younger generation of the Heavenly Court, he had become a Great Accomplished Immortal Emperor after cultivating for five hundred thousand years, possessing tremendous strength that allowed him to battle above his level against those in the Divine King Realm.
But the powerful figure from the Demon Realm in front of him was a fifth-grade Divine King with the Ten Thousand Refinements Demonic Body.
The Ten Thousand Refinements Demonic Body, as the name suggests, requires undergoing ten thousand rounds of Body Tempering to reach great accomplishment.
Once the Ten Thousand Refinements Demonic Body is greatly accomplished, its physical body can compare to a Dao Artifact, making it extremely difficult to kill.
If Ku’s realm were the same as his opponent’s, he was confident that he could kill his adversary as easily as crushing an ant.
But unfortunately, there was too vast a difference in their realms.
Between the ninth tier of the Immortal Emperor and the fifth-grade Divine King, there was a gap of five whole realms.
“The son of the Heavenly Emperor, so what?”
The fifth-grade Divine King of the Demon Realm smashed his fist into Ku’s golden armor, and with a snap, the Dao Artifact-level armor surprisingly developed web-like cracks, with the terrifying impact force piercing through his organs!
“Puh!”
Ku spat out golden blood.
He, the illustrious son of the Heavenly Emperor, was actually injured by a force from the Demon Realm!
Bang!
The Demon Realm’s strong figure delivered another punch, hitting Ku in the abdomen.
Ku spat out another mouthful of golden blood.
“Impermanence Demon Monarch, you dare to injure the son of the Heavenly Emperor, if His Majesty learns of this, he will certainly destroy your soul, preventing you from being reborn forever!”
“Your Highness, with your noble status, how dare they offend you!”
“You all are undoubtedly going to die!”
“Impermanence Demon Monarch, even though you are a fifth-grade Divine King with unparalleled Demonic Might and a confidant of Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable, if the Heavenly Emperor is angered, even Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable won’t be able to protect you!”
The individuals of the Heavenly Court were being besieged and couldn’t lend a hand to help Ku.
Seeing the son of the Heavenly Emperor being beaten by the fifth-grade Divine King Impermanence Demon Monarch, they were all glaring with eyes wide open, filled with extreme anger and fear, shouting one after another, trying to stop the Impermanence Demon Monarch.
If the news of the son of the Heavenly Emperor being beaten spread back to Heavenly Court and the Heavenly Emperor was enraged, then all these servants would be exiled.
“I am indeed beating the son of the Heavenly Emperor!”
“If it weren’t for the Heavenly Court, why would we have to hide in the Demon Realm to cultivate!”
The Impermanence Demon Monarch was defiant and not afraid of the threat from the Heavenly Court, continuing to beat the son of the Heavenly Emperor.
Ku, beaten by the Impermanence Demon Monarch, was bruised and swollen, even his golden armor treasure was shattered and completely destroyed.
Boom!
The Impermanence Demon Monarch kicked Ku, sending him flying straight into the ground.
“I… I will definitely kill… kill you…”
Ku lay among the ruins, filled with hatred towards the Impermanence Demon Monarch.
The dignified son of the Heavenly Emperor, who was highly respected in the Heavenly Court and above millions, when had he ever suffered such a loss?
Yet, the people of the Demon Realm really didn’t give face to him, the son of the Heavenly Emperor.
The Demon Realm and Heavenly Court were natural mortal enemies.
“The son of the Heavenly Emperor sure can take a beating.”
The Impermanence Demon Monarch was relentless and continued to strike at the son of the Heavenly Emperor.
“`
“Ah!”
Among the Heavenly Court’s party, a Divine King Realm powerhouse was unexpectedly pierced through the chest by a Demon Realm adversary, even his heart was dug out.
Aside from the Heavenly Court team, there were several other cultivator squads present, including Guanghan Palace’s Ancestor, Palace Master Li Heng, and Xia Ningxue among others.
When even Divine King Realm experts from the Heavenly Court squad had fallen, the situation for the other squads was even worse.
Jiang Yue Fairy, the candidate Holy Maiden of Guanghan Palace, was immobilized by a Demon Realm powerhouse’s Divine Skills, her eyes glazed over.
“Very good.”
The corners of that Demon Realm powerhouse’s mouth curled upwards.
Suddenly, a fierce Sword Qi slashed through, leaving behind a trail of Ice Seal wherever it passed.
“Guanghan Palace Master Li Heng, you indeed have some ability. It’s a pity that your Cold Ice Sword Intent has not reached its peak; otherwise, how could I have evaded this strike?”
The Demon Realm powerhouse dodged the Cold Ice Sword Intent with a sneer, secretly releasing the control over Jiang Yue Fairy.
“Jiang Yue, are you alright?”
Li Heng broke the bind for her disciple, worried that the Demon Realm powerhouse might have eradicated her.
This Demon Realm powerhouse was a Divine King Realm expert, who had mercifully not killed Jiang Yue Fairy of Immortal Emperor First Layer with a direct strike.
Jiang Yue Fairy recovered from her bewildered state, and although she felt that something was amiss, she still said, “Master, I’m fine.”
“That’s good…”
Li Heng looked around at the situation; within the Guanghan Palace’s squad, the highest cultivator, the old Ancestor of Guanghan Palace, was held in check by a protector from the Blood Sea Palace, and other strong practitioners from Guanghan Palace were also engaged in battle with forces from the Blood Sea Palace or the Demon Realm.
If the Impermanence Demon Monarch managed to kill the son of the Heavenly Emperor and was able to turn his full attention to Guanghan Palace’s people, their predicament would become extremely dire.
Li Heng knew that Ku, the son of the Heavenly Emperor, was a force capable of influencing the battle, so she took the initiative to extricate him.
Cold Ice Sword Qi swung towards the Impermanence Demon Monarch.
Li Heng too was a Divine King Realm powerhouse; the Sword Qi she wielded was something the Impermanence Demon Monarch dared not allow to strike him.
Therefore, the Impermanence Demon Monarch struck out with a palm: “Demonic Impermanence Form!”
The fabric of time and space in front of him was shattered by the palm strength, collapsing the Sword Qi as well.
“Since you are the son of the Heavenly Emperor, you should have a twenty-grade Divine Pill to restore your True Qi, right?”
Li Heng held Longsword, backing towards Ku, who lay amidst the ruins.
“I will remember the favor from Palace Master Li and will surely repay it handsomely in the future.”
Ku took out a Heaven Void Divine Pill, quickly restoring his condition.
Despite being a twenty-grade Divine Pill, as the son of the Heavenly Emperor, he had access to such Divine Pills.
As long as Ku could restore his True Qi, then on Li Heng’s side, it was akin to having the additional strength of a Divine King level.
“Impermanence Demon Monarch, you alone might not be able to defeat two such prodigies. One is the son of the Heavenly Emperor, and the other is Guanghan Palace Master. Guanghan Palace Master’s talent is not inferior to yours or mine, she only lacks a bit of cultivation time.”
The Demon Monarch who had just tried to control Jiang Yue Fairy appeared.

The Impermanence Demon Monarch said dissatisfiedly, “Bewildering Heart Demon Monarch, you don’t trust me?”
With a cold smile, Bewildering Heart Demon Monarch replied, “It’s not that I don’t trust you, but I want to make absolutely sure.”
Li Heng’s eyebrows knitted.
Bewildering Heart Demon Monarch was a sixth-grade Divine King and, although his cultivation was not as high as the Impermanence Demon Monarch’s, he specialized in Spirit Attack. Together with Impermanence Demon Monarch, they were stronger than the temporary alliance of Li Heng and Ku.
Li Heng took a deep breath, knowing she could only do her best in the fight. If handled properly, defeat was not certain.
“You Fairy, you do have good aptitude, to be able to challenge me for so long given the substantial gap in our realms. However, since you haven’t cultivated long enough, become my servant obediently!”
A protector from the Blood Sea Palace had set his sights on Xia Ningxue, suppressing her with a cultivation far superior to hers.
Xia Ningxue exerted all her strength, brandishing the Mo Xue Sword, intent on slaying the Blood Sea Palace’s protector.
Yet, the chasm between the Divine King Realm and the Immortal Emperor Realm was so vast that it brought despair.
Lu Changsheng had exhausted all means to kill the ninth-grade Divine King, Demon Monarch Huanye.
The adversary Xia Ningxue faced was also a ninth-grade Divine King, and without the Qilin Blood Essence Pill to temporarily boost her cultivation, she couldn’t match her opponent.
With a pale face, Xia Ningxue’s clothes soaked with sweat, she still struggled to defeat the formidable enemy.
“Hehe, obediently fall under my control!”
“Heartfall Skills!”
A terrifying wave of spiritual fluctuation assaulted Xia Ningxue, striking her squarely.
“Got her!”
Just as the protector from the Blood Sea Palace thought he had succeeded, the strand of spirit fluctuation he had released suddenly burst, and Xia Ningxue’s demeanor changed drastically as an extremely terrifying aura spread from within her.
In that moment, Xia Ningxue was like a Goddess descending.
