Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress-Chapter 159
Chapter 159 - You’re Not Qualified to Negotiate with This Venerable One!
Dao Xian Tianhua’s heart trembled. He tried to flee, but found his feet rooted to the spot!
Looking down, he saw that the ground beneath him was completely covered in shadows, and several dark tendrils had entangled his ankles.
"Pierce."
Ning Yechen said as he walked towards Dao Xian Tianhua step by step.
Countless needle-like shadows shot out from the darkness, piercing through Dao Xian Tianhua’s entire body!
"AAAAAHHH!"
Dao Xian Tianhua let out a pained scream, his entire body riddled with the shadowy spikes like a hedgehog.
Ning Yechen stood before Dao Xian Tianhua, his brows slightly furrowed, his expression cold as he stared at him.
Dao Xian Tianhua’s face was filled with terror, his earlier arrogance and pride completely gone.
He had thought that within this Heaven and Earth Law Realm, he was omnipotent and could easily deal with Ning Yechen.
But he hadn’t expected to feel so powerless in front of him...!
After much thought, only one possibility came to mind...
"You...! Could it be that you’ve already stepped into the Transcendent Immortal Realm?!"
Dao Xian Tianhua stared at Ning Yechen in disbelief.
It wasn’t that he was arrogant, but in the past millennia, neither the Heavenly Realm nor the Demon Realm had seen anyone ascend to the Transcendent Immortal Realm.
Knowing that Ning Yechen was the newly ascended Demon Lord from over a hundred years ago, he hadn’t even considered the possibility that Ning Yechen’s cultivation could have reached the Transcendent Immortal level...
It had taken him thousands of years to barely touch the threshold of the Transcendent Immortal Realm and achieve a half-step into it.
Yet, Ning Yechen, who didn’t even seem to be a thousand years old, was already a legendary Transcendent Immortal!
The difference in talent...
It was nothing short of monstrous!
Only at this moment did Dao Xian Tianhua truly realize the fearsome power of the new Demon Lord before him.
"Demon Lord...! My Dao Immortal Clan is a member of the Heavenly Realm’s Judgement Divine Hall!"
"If I, the Immortal Ancestor of the Dao Immortal Clan, die, the Heavenly Realm will surely investigate!"
"As long as you let me go, I swear by the Heavenly Dao that I will never offend the Demon Clan again!"
"The matter of you killing two disciples of my Dao Immortal Clan can also be forgiven and forgotten.”
Dao Xian Tianhua, recognizing the reality of his situation, knew he was no match for Ning Yechen.
Rather than having his thousands of years of cultivation go to waste here, it was better to seek peace.
"Are you begging for mercy from this Venerable One?"
Ning Yechen clasped his hands behind his back, a wicked smile playing on his lips, and asked calmly.
Dao Xian Tianhua nodded unwillingly.
This was the first time in his life that he had bowed his head to a demon...
"As long as you let me go, I, the Dao Immortal Clan, will fulfill any request you have!"
"There’s only one thing this Venerable One wants."
Ning Yechen leaned closer to Dao Xian Tianhua’s face and said softly, raising a finger.
"What is it?"
"Just name it, and I’ll give it to you!"
Dao Xian Tianhua hurriedly responded without thinking.
Ning Yechen smiled slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"That would be your life, and the lives of the entire Dao Immortal Clan!"
From the moment Dao Xian Tianhua made his precious daughter cry, he had never intended to let him off!
Dao Xian Tianhua’s face instantly turned pale upon hearing this.
"Become nourishment, and struggle in endless pain until you die!"
Ning Yechen chanted softly.
Instantly, the shadows entwining Dao Xian Tianhua pulled him from mid-air down onto the shadowy ground!
The shadow was like a swamp, slowly devouring him bit by bit!
Dao Xian Tianhua couldn’t even imagine what lay on the other side of the shadow.
He saw countless dark figures slowly rising from the shadow, various demonic beings emerging from beneath...!
Pairs of bloodthirsty, crimson eyes stared at him intently, drawing closer!
Thousands upon thousands of insects crawled out from the shadows and burrowed into his body, writhing within him!
"S-Spirit Devouring Insects...?!"
Dao Xian Tianhua’s expression turned to utter horror as he saw the endless tide of Spirit Devouring Insects swarming towards him.
He had certainly seen Spirit Devouring Insects before, but never in such overwhelming numbers, so dense that it made his hair stand on end!
These insects would devour anything containing spiritual energy, whether it was a person or any other object, leaving nothing behind!
With such a massive swarm of Spirit Devouring Insects, it would probably only take a few seconds to devour him completely!
And throughout the process, he would vividly feel the insects burrowing into his body from every orifice, gnawing and wriggling as they feasted!
He could already feel that piercing pain!
As more and more Spirit Devouring Insects entered his body, Dao Xian Tianhua looked up at Ning Yechen in despair and terror, shouting,
"Aaah! W-Wait...!"
"Demon Lord, don’t you want to retrieve her immortal bones and heart?!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Yechen immediately descended from mid-air and landed in front of Dao Xian Tianhua. He turned his head and coldly ordered the demons and apostles behind him,
"Stand down!"
The demons and apostles, showing a hint of fear, retreated and submerged back into the shadows, leaving only half of their faces exposed, still glaring at Dao Xian Tianhua with predatory eyes.
As if they were ready to feast at any moment...
The hundreds of millions of Spirit Devouring Insects on Dao Xian Tianhua’s body and nearby also slowly retreated behind Ning Yechen.
"My wife’s immortal bones and heart, are they on you?"
Ning Yechen’s eyes narrowed as he looked down at Dao Xian Tianhua and asked coldly.
"They’re not on me..."
As the Spirit Devouring Insects retreated from his body, Dao Xian Tianhua felt a sense of relief, as if he had escaped death. He replied, sweating profusely and gasping for breath.
Ning Yechen’s expression turned displeased, feeling like he had been tricked. He slowly turned around and said indifferently,
"He’s all yours!"
"Don’t eat him too quickly!"
As he finished speaking, the Spirit Devouring Insects and the numerous demonic apostles excitedly surged towards Dao Xian Tianhua once more...
"Wait, wait, wait!"
"Her immortal bones and heart aren’t on me, but I know where they are!"
Dao Xian Tianhua, nearly scared out of his wits, shouted desperately.
Ning Yechen raised his arm, and the demons and apostles obediently stopped, looking at him with aggrieved expressions...
After Ning Yechen glared at them fiercely, the demons and apostles obediently lay back down...
"Speak. Where are my wife’s immortal bones and heart?"
Ning Yechen looked at Dao Xian Tianhua and asked.
Seeing how much Ning Yechen cared about Luo Ruying’s immortal bones and heart, Dao Xian Tianhua gained some confidence and made his demand,
"Only if you swear by the Heavenly Dao to spare my life will I tell you!"
"Hmph... Hahahaha!!"
Ning Yechen suddenly burst into laughter, looking up at the sky.
His laughter sent chills down Dao Xian Tianhua’s spine...
In the next moment, Ning Yechen’s hand tightly gripped his face, lifting him high into the air from the shadows, his expression cold and ruthless!
Demonic flames ignited on his arm, slowly creeping towards his hand!
Even a touch of the demonic flames would be enough to incinerate him completely!
"You seem to be mistaken!"
"You’re not qualified to negotiate with this Venerable One!"
"This Venerable One has ten thousand ways to make you suffer a fate worse than death!"
"Even if I kill you directly, I can still retrieve the immortal bones and heart by conquering the Heavenly Realm!!"
