"This..."
The man was speechless.
And soon, he would never speak again.
Xing Wu did not act personally, but instead raised her hand and unleashed the Immortal Devil Societal Diagram.
"Scroll of the Demon God, Taotie!"
Crimson streams of light coiled around her. With a soft hum, the entire abyssal world seethed.
As heaven and earth trembled, bubbles began to furiously rise from the magma that resembled a lake.
The thousands of Shrine powerhouses watched below in alarm, not yet knowing what terrifying events were about to unfold.
"Everyone, stand by!"
At this point, escaping this space was unrealistic, and begging for mercy was useless.
Therefore, there was only one thing they could do: fight for their lives!
However, as soon as they shouted this, everyone froze.
From the magma, ferocious, blood-red monsters emerged, each over ten meters long and possessing cultivation above True Immortal!
Xing Wu gently stroked one of them and, looking at the stunned crowd in the distance, said indifferently.
"Go, it's time for you to eat."
Within seconds, tens of thousands of blood-red monsters materialized from the magma, baring their fangs and claws, spitting out scorching air.
Their huge, blood-red eyes greedily gazed at the thousand-plus Shrine cultivators.
At Xing Wu's command, they all went mad, rushing towards the crowd in a frenzy.
This scene, to Ye Yun, who was watching from afar, inexplicably reminded him of a certain scenario.
"Good heavens, it's like the school cafeteria serving food..."
Ye Yun shook his head as he watched.
And what followed was a little bit too bloody.
As the two sides clashed, a fierce battle erupted, and the fight between humans and monsters instantly entered a fever pitch.
"What the hell are these monsters? How can they not be killed!"
As soon as the battle began, the Shrine cultivators discovered the absurdity of the situation.
These blood-red monsters were truly monstrous, seemingly possessing immortality. Even if their limbs were severed, they would quickly recover, and their heads could regrow.
Under these circumstances, this battle could no longer be called a fight, but a one-sided massacre...
The continuous screams, even for Ye Yun, who had witnessed Xing Wu's killing before, caused him a psychosomatic discomfort.
But he said nothing from beginning to end. If these people had won, his and Xing Wu's fate would not have been any better.
The victor becomes king, the loser is vanquished; the law of the jungle; these people should have been mentally prepared when they came...
...
The entire battle ended within minutes.
The result was no surprise; there was no longer a single Shrine cultivator to be seen within the entire space.
The blood-red monsters, having had their fill, stood obediently by Xing Wu's side, one of them even rubbing against her hand.
Seeing this, Ye Yun really wanted to put this guy in a pot and stew him...
"Alright, you can all disperse."
Xing Wu waved her hand. As if understanding, the blood-red monsters jumped into the magma, swam for a while, and then gradually disappeared.
Thus, this battle was completely declared over.
Xing Wu put away her blood-red long sword and gazed at the surrounding abyssal world, a hint of nostalgia in her expression.
However, after a moment, she collected herself and came to Ye Yun's side.
"Husband... are you alright?"
"I'm okay."
Ye Yun grinned and said lightly.
"It's nothing much, just that I'm about to die."
He wasn't joking; he was truly on the verge of death.
Not to mention the immense consumption of the Immortal God Transformation, he had directly swallowed several doses of potent explosive pills that would have killed an ordinary person, as if they were candy.
If not for his powerful Heavenly Phoenix bloodline, which possessed the effect of Nirvana rebirth, he would have likely died on the spot.
And now, though he had miraculously survived, the degree of overdraft far exceeded the recovery limit of his Heavenly Phoenix bloodline.
"About to die? You wish."
However, Xing Wu stood before him, cast him a glance, and said.
"Since you are my husband, you cannot die without my permission."
Ye Yun's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly.
"You're... too domineering. Is death something I can control?"
"I don't care, you must live anyway."
Xing Wu said with a smile.
To be honest, her attire, coupled with that smile.
Mysterious, noble, dark style, older sister...
It was precisely Ye Yun's type, hitting all his preferences!
Before he could say anything, Xing Wu walked forward after speaking.
"Uh... what do you want?"
Looking at her actions, Ye Yun inexplicably had a premonition of something ominous.
Xing Wu did not answer. To his astonished gaze, she knelt on one knee, held his shoulders, and kissed him.
"Mmm... what are you doing?"
"Don't move."
Seeing him fidgeting, Xing Wu showed a displeased expression, her voice becoming a bit more forceful.
Ye Yun stiffened immediately and could only passively accept her kiss...
However, he soon understood her intention.
As their lips met, a vast and incredibly warm power flowed into him.
His nearly withered dantian, meridians, and blood vessels began to regain their vitality.
After a while, when Xing Wu lifted her head, his overdrawn body had recovered to a level close to normal...
To him, this was a miracle, no, a divine miracle!
"I say, what did you do?"
Ye Yun looked at her in disbelief.
Hearing this, Xing Wu smiled faintly and slowly said.
"Naturally, I transferred a portion of my life essence into you."
"Uh, a portion is how much?"
"This... about a quarter?"
"..."
Ye Yun's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but say.
"A quarter? You call that a portion?!"
Considering the lifespan of an Emperor-tier powerhouse, tens of thousands of years, this single act meant over ten thousand years were gone.
Xing Wu was unperturbed, gently caressing his face with her jade hand, and smilingly said.
"What's there to worry about? You are my husband, and I would do so without hesitation even if it cost me ninety-nine percent of my life essence."
"You this..."
Ye Yun was speechless.
Or rather, he didn't know what to say to express his gratitude.
However, in the end, he stopped himself from thanking her. Between them, thanks were no longer necessary or suitable for expressing their feelings.
Ye Yun thought for a moment, grabbed her soft jade hand, and smiled at her.
"As expected of my dear wife, I will surely cherish you dearly later!"
As he spoke, he raised an eyebrow, the meaning of which was quite obvious.
Xing Wu raised an eyebrow, withdrew her hand, crossed her arms, and glanced at him.
"You fellow, aren't you with me just because you're attracted to my beauty?"
"Cough, cough, how could that be?"
Ye Yun coughed lightly, then said with a solemn expression.
"I definitely fell in love with your inner qualities, which is why I decided to be with you!"
"Really?"
"Really!"
Ye Yun nodded, even wanting to swear an oath.
"If I've spoken half a lie, then I..."
However, before he could finish, Xing Wu's finger landed on his lips, and she smiled slowly.
"I was just joking earlier."
