Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress-Chapter 423 : The Northern Domain of the Demon Realm, Returns to This Lord’s Control!
Chapter 423 - The Northern Domain of the Demon Realm, Returns to This Lord’s Control!
Above the horizon, tens of thousands of void rifts overlapped, and void blades flew chaoticly back and forth within the rifts, their trajectories completely unpredictable.
The crowd below was dazzled and shocked.
They simply did not know which void rift a void blade would fly out of in the next second.
If they were within that chaotic mess of void rifts, they likely would have already been sliced into countless pieces by the void blades!
Xujian Jun, who was already surrounded by countless void rifts and void blades, gradually found it difficult to parry further; as void blades slashed across his body, they left behind one bloody wound after another!
Meanwhile, Xujian Kongling stood tall in his original spot; even though countless void blades slashed past him, he remained entirely unperturbed.
As void rifts opened wantonly around him, he immediately sent all the void blades back to Xujian Jun's vicinity.
Although the two were both inheritors of the Void Secret Technique, the gap in their strength and experience was particularly vast.
How could Xujian Jun, who had inherited the Xujian family for only a thousand years, be a match for Xujian Kongling, who had been a God Sovereign for hundreds of thousands of years?
Facing Xujian Kongling, who was incomparably familiar with the void, even if Xujian Jun wanted to escape into the void to return to Evernight Sovereign City and tell this news to Ning Yechen, it was impossible to do.
Xujian Jun also knew this well; the only thing he could do now was to brace himself and meet Xujian Kongling in battle.
However, if things continued like this, the person to fall first would inevitably be him!
Xujian Jun took a sharp sword out from his immortal ring; as countless void blades slashed toward him, he sped forward and ducked into the void.
The void blades sliced through the air from the void, all of them being avoided by Xujian Jun.
A void rift split open behind Xujian Kongling, and Xujian Jun, holding his immortal sword, slashed down from behind!
Xujian Kongling turned around and opened his palm, revealing a void vortex on his palm.
This Palm Void was something he had spent his entire life, hundreds of thousands of years, to comprehend and cultivate.
The void vortex could swallow all things in heaven and earth, and could also connect to any void rift he opened.
The void vortex suddenly expanded in front of Xujian Jun, instantly swallowing the sharp sword Xujian Jun had slashed down with.
Xujian Jun only felt a massive suction force attempting to drag him into that void vortex!
Xujian Jun did not dare to hesitate for a moment, immediately letting go of the sharp sword in his hand and ducking into the void again before being sucked in.
"You flee quite quickly."
"However, This Lord has already grown bored."
Xujian Kongling looked at Xujian Jun, who had fled from his sight again, and smiled playfully.
Xujian Jun’s talent was very good, and his control over the void was also quite skillful, but he was absolutely not his opponent!
Xujian Kongling casually slashed out tens of thousands of void blades, and with a lift of his hand, he sucked all these tens of thousands of void blades into the void vortex on his palm.
In mid-air, when Xujian Jun appeared again from another void rift, Xujian Kongling instantly opened thousands of void rifts around him, releasing all tens of thousands of void blades he had just swallowed from the void rifts!
At such a close distance, coupled with tens of thousands of void blades, Xujian Jun did not have time to duck into the void again to avoid them!
Several void blades sliced across his body; Xujian Jun could only bear the injuries and raise his arms, immediately opening a 360-degree void rift around himself with no blind spots.
The remaining tens of thousands of void blades all vanished into the void rifts once again.
But because of this, Xujian Jun was already covered in wounds, dripping with blood, and the injuries on his body were extremely severe.
Within the void rift he had opened, Xujian Kongling threw a punch from within it, heavily smashing into his chest!
"Poof!"
Xujian Jun instantly spat out a mouthful of blood, crashing down like a meteor directly from mid-air into the ground!
A deeply recessed and cracked crater was left beneath the ground.
"Lord Xujian Jun!!!"
The expressions of the crowd standing around the main hall were shocked.
As Xujian Jun’s wives, the ladies were even more anxious, instantly turning into streaks of divine light and rushing over.
Xujian Jun lay in the deep pit, clutching his chest, no longer having the strength to even prop himself up.
Xujian Kongling stepped through the void and walked out, appearing in front of Xujian Jun in an instant.
"Lord Xujian Jun!"
Several ladies landed beside Xujian Jun, hurriedly supporting him and providing him with medical treatment and medicine.
Looking at the bruised and battered Xujian Jun, the women felt great heartache and pity, their eyes brimming with tears.
They all knew Xujian Jun’s character and personality very well; his arrogant nature did not allow others to interfere in his affairs.
Similarly, the loyalty in his heart did not allow him to betray the Lord Demon Lord to whom he had sworn allegiance.
Every time he challenged the Demon Lord, he was serious; even though he had failed countless times, he would still try repeatedly.
But he would never use betrayal as a way to face the Lord Demon Lord!
It was precisely because of this that he did not hesitate to defy Xujian Kongling and wagered his life to fight him.
Xujian Kongling slowly walked toward Xujian Jun step by step, a void blade blooming in his palm and hovering in his hand.
“Lord Ancestor, please spare Lord Xujian Jun!”
“The fact that the Xujian family has reached where it is today is all due to Lord Xujian Jun’s toil and hard work!”
“In the current Xujian family, there is no one else who possesses such talent besides Lord Xujian Jun!”
The ladies knelt before Xujian Kongling, bowing their heads in entreaty.
“All of you get out of the way! You’re in the way! Cough, cough...”
After taking a medicinal pill, Xujian Jun recovered a bit of strength and pushed the ladies before him aside, his expression cold and proud.
“Ancestor Kongling, if you want to crusade against the Lord Demon Lord in the name of the Northern Domain, you’ll have to kill me first!”
“However, as for these few useless and obstructive stupid women, I ask that you let them go.”
“Lord Xujian Jun...”
Hearing this, the ladies' eyes filled with tears, looking back at Xujian Jun with emotion.
Xujian Jun always expressed great disdain for them, but in his heart, he simply didn't want them to follow him to their deaths.
The ladies wiped their tears, remaining by Xujian Jun’s side with resolute expressions, having no intention of leaving.
Xujian Kongling looked at Xujian Jun and the women, his brows furrowing slightly.
“The path of cultivation is inherently arduous and long; to study with concentration and break through oneself is the fundamental goal.”
“If you were to cast aside these romantic entanglements, your cultivation realm might be even higher.”
“Women will only hinder the pursuit of the Great Dao.”
Hearing this, the ladies lowered their brows and bowed their heads in resignation.
In this world, the status of women was inherently very low.
Although some of them possessed the cultivation of the Immortal Venerable Realm, they were ultimately just wives and concubines within the Xujian family whose duty was to carry on the family line.
The corner of Xujian Jun’s mouth curled into a light smile as he glanced at the women before him.
“Perhaps it is as you say, Ancestor Kongling—if I were to discard these stupid women, my cultivation could progress even further.”
“But the Lord Demon Lord once told me—wouldn't it be far too dull to abandon everything in this life just to pursue the path of cultivation?”
“Besides, sometimes the feeling of having someone by your side to serve and look after you isn't bad either.”
Previously, he too did not understand these words the Lord Demon Lord had said to him, until now, after marrying these few women; every time he was injured and cared for by them, he gradually came to understand the meaning of those words. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
“Lord Xujian Jun...”
The women hadn't expected to hold such a status in Xujian Jun’s heart, and their hearts were even more moved.
Xujian Kongling shook his head in disappointment and withdrew the void blade in his hand.
“This Lord is very disappointed in you.”
“But the Xujian family needs to continue; for the sake of your talent, This Lord will not kill you.”
“From this day forth, the Northern Domain of the Demon Realm and the Xujian family return to This Lord’s control!”
Xujian Kongling’s voice condensed as he strictly conveyed this to the crowd of the ten thousand demons of the Northern Domain.
The people of the Northern Domain hesitated, looking at each other, before helplessly bowing slightly.
“Yes...!”
