Gu Yechen immediately retreated into the Lunar Profound Pearl for twelve months of seclusion. Fuya and Ming, accustomed to his elusive nature, paid him no mind after successfully advancing to the Golden Immortal realm by absorbing the medicinal power of the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir. They each busied themselves with their own affairs.

As the saying goes, "Sitting behind a closed door, disaster arrives from the heavens." Fuya and Ming weren't seeking trouble, but trouble found them.

It seemed Ussaly had failed to communicate with the Elder Council. Although Ussaly and his progeny had met their demise in the Yafik Empire—their fate sealed in a watery grave for nearly a year—a special envoy from the Council arrived at the Yafik Empire in a frantic hurry.

The Elder Council envoy dispatched to Yafik was headed by a hulking brute named Kaizu. Accompanying him were eighteen young men and women whose noses seemed pointed straight at the sky; all were his direct descendants.

Based on Fuya and Ming's assessment, Kaizu must have only recently returned himself. His power surpassed even that of Ussaly from that day.

Kaizu brought a decidedly unpleasant piece of news: "The Viking Empire has been attacked by a host of suddenly appearing dark creatures, resulting in the extinction of the entire populace."

These relentless dark creatures annihilated the Viking Empire and began harassing the Star Alliance forces surrounding it, spreading like metastatic tumor cells. Kaizu, having just returned from the boundless void, was acting under the command of the Demon Emperor Long Gen, hurrying to consolidate all Star Alliance power to resist the onslaught of the dark creatures.

Following Gu Yechen’s instructions, upon hearing this news, Fuya and Ming readily agreed, deciding to observe the situation before making any further moves.

Little did they know, this Kaizu was exponentially more odious than any other Elder Council scion Fuya and Ming had ever encountered. After briefly outlining the cause and effect of the Viking Empire’s destruction, he immediately declared his instant attraction to Fuya and Ming. He professed to be deeply in love with Fuya and Ming, hoping they would consent to his demand: to become the gestational mothers for his offspring.

Fuya and Ming were instantly enraged, and Fuya swept out a hand, cleaving a sword strike towards Kaizu.

With Fuya and Ming, the representatives of the Yafik Empire, making a move, the Zhuhua people also rose to fight. Coupled with the Ten Heavenly Lords, who now possessed Golden Immortal cultivation, and the Daoist Wo-Chen, they managed to force the situation into a stalemate against Kaizu and the descendants he brought.

The Seventeen—the Ten Heavenly Lords, Daoist Wo-Chen, Daoist Xiao Zhang, Daoist Zheng Yi, Siren, Aredia, Bonge, and Maha—confronted Kaizu’s seventeen descendants. Zhuhua, with a playful grin, engaged the most stunning of Kaizu’s female descendants in a brawl, while Fuya and Ming took on Kaizu one-on-one. This was the scene Gu Yechen witnessed.

However, immediately upon clashing, Zhuhua suffered a painful setback. He could never have dreamed that Kaizu’s delicate, fragile, yet seemingly sweet and lovely descendant would prove so formidable. Her speed was blistering, her physical defense incredibly strong, her power immense, and her mental fortitude nearly on par with a Third-Grade Golden Immortal. Zhuhua, who had just reached the Golden Immortal realm through consuming a Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, was slapped hard the moment they engaged.

The slap nearly blew Zhuhua’s face apart, and his molars rattled loose. The descendant, who called herself Weiwei, watched Zhuhua with a persistent, sweet smile. A hint of ferocity played across her beautiful face, like a venomous viper spotting a pitiable field mouse, contemplating all the ways it could torture him for greater enjoyment and pleasure.

Weiwei, still smiling gently, waved her hands casually toward Zhuhua. Every strike was silent, yet it possessed the immense force of an ocean current surging beneath the surface. Each blow sent Zhuhua’s internal organs into violent turmoil, nearly forcing his heart, liver, and lungs out of his mouth.

Though these subsequent attacks were slightly lighter than the initial slap, Zhuhua was beaten to an excruciating degree. He trembled all over, grinding his teeth as he cursed Weiwei’s ancestors for eighteen generations, spewing forth a torrent of vile obscenities like flowing water.

Facing the ear-splitting tirade, Weiwei merely offered a faint smile. Her pair of fair, delicate hands 'gently' nb;nb; caressed all over Zhuhua’s body. Each strike was as heavy as a mountain, each blow nearly shattering his bones. Zhuhua screamed and thrashed in agony, his curses becoming uglier and descending further into the gutter.

When Gu Yechen appeared, Zhuhua noticed him immediately. Zhuhua, beaten into a pulp by Weiwei, gritted his teeth and bellowed, "Junior Brother, you must not help! No one is to lift a finger for me! Today, this little slut and I are locked in a fight to the death! nb;nb; Ah, I must suck her blood!"

"No one is to help me?" Gu Yechen nodded in agreement, smiling serenely. "Then I shall not presume to interfere."

He gave a gentle nod to Zhuhua, flashed past him, and casually gave him a thumbs-up: "Courageous, a true man!"

Zhuhua stared after Gu Yechen’s receding back as if struck by a death omen. He immediately endured seven more punches and nine kicks from Weiwei, pain nearly bringing him to tears.

Fuya and Ming manifested billions of layers of thin, dazzling violet mist around her body. The Purple Cloud Gauze was fully activated, staunchly protecting her. No matter how heavily Kaizu's fists, potent enough to crack a planet, landed upon the layers of violet mist, no matter how much strength he exerted, the seemingly delicate gauze remained utterly unmoving. The swirling wisps of bright vapor effortlessly neutralized the force of Kaizu's blows.

While her defensive treasure could withstand Kaizu’s attacks, the two immortal swords Fuya and Ming used for offense were rather disappointing. Both were mere scrap from the Heavenly Immortal tier, their sword bodies housing only a sparse dozen offensive arrays, and those were the weakest formations, such as the ‘Wind Roar Array’ or the ‘Blazing Flame Array’—the simplest kinds that merely channeled the power of heaven and earth.

The two sword lights stretched for a thousand zhang. As immortal swords forged by a Heavenly Immortal, their visual effects were dazzling, far more brilliant than ordinary magical artifacts. One red and one white, the sword lights streaked through the air amidst swirling winds and crimson fire, hacking and slashing around Kaizu, but they only succeeded in striking sparks. Not a single scratch marred Kaizu's skin.

Kaizu, standing about three meters tall and built as robustly as a grizzly bear, his bare chest covered in half-foot-long black fur, laughed triumphantly. He gazed contentedly at Fuya and Ming, wrapped securely in the dense violet mist, and batted the two sword lights away like swatting flies. Occasionally, with a flick of his finger, a thousand-zhang-long sword light would shriek in pain and be sent soaring dozens of miles away. He appeared utterly relaxed and self-satisfied, as if enjoying a leisurely spring outing.

"Your Majesty, Queen, you must submit to me obediently! nb;nb; What an honor it is to be the gestational mother of my progeny!"

"I, Kaizu, possess the purest and most orthodox bloodline of the great Demon Ancestor Long Gen. Every one of my offspring possesses tremendous power! Become the gestational mother of my lineage, and your name will echo throughout the cosmos alongside the great names of my descendants!"

"To be honest, the moment I saw you, I felt something was bound to happen between us! What else can happen between male and female beings? I think it can only be that friendly interaction of the flesh and spirit, but more focused on physical interaction!"

"That total immersion, that complete enjoyment, culminating in our offspring being gestated through our unreserved eruption—how beautiful! Becoming the mother of my children cannot be wrong!"

Fuya and Ming pointed a finger, and the Gold-Binding Rope hidden within the two sword lights transformed into a streak of cold light, stabbing directly toward Kaizu’s eyes. Kaizu merely smiled, spat out a puff of black energy nonchalantly, and the bright, glistening Gold-Binding Rope let out a mournful cry. Before it could even wrap around Kaizu’s body, it was blasted away by the dark energy. The numerous golden talismans on the rope dimmed, their light diffusing like oxidized silver ingots.

Staring strangely at Fuya and Ming, Kaizu chuckled weirdly. "So you enjoy playing with bindings? You should have said so earlier. Several mothers of my offspring were reluctant to obey me at first, but they became compliant after I bound them. We can play like that too!"

Gritting her teeth and biting her red lip, Fuya and Ming secretly executed a thunderous hand sign and flung out a bolt of lightning over a thousand zhang long.

A deep rumble of thunder echoed across a large portion of the Yafik Star. The purple light and silver fire struck down upon Kaizu’s crown, yet only blew off a few strands of his long hair. Not even his scalp was broken. This brute's physical body was simply too tough, even several times sturdier than Ussaly’s had been. How could Fuya and Ming, empowered by elixirs to achieve Golden Immortal strength, possibly pierce his defense?

Failing to persuade her after repeated attempts, Kaizu’s temper flared. The black hairs on his chest stood on end, and he roared at Fuya and Ming through clenched teeth, "If you refuse to be the gestational mother of my lineage, then accept my punishment!"

A dark light surged out, and Kaizu’s body abruptly swelled, reaching a height of a thousand meters. His form twisted, transforming into a monstrous beast with a dragon's body, a bear’s back, and a pair of wings. Swinging two exceptionally thick foreclaws, Kaizu grabbed fiercely at the purple mist formed by Fuya and Ming’s Purple Cloud Gauze. The space near the gauze shuddered violently, and several thin spatial rifts suddenly appeared along the edge of the mist, causing the purple light to flicker.

"If you won't be my woman, you'll become a corpse!"

Kaizu’s eyes turned red as he forcefully ripped at the space surrounding Fuya and Ming, attempting to break the Purple Cloud Gauze’s defense using the power of shattering space. Simultaneously, he spat a beam of black light from his mouth, slamming it hard into the dense violet mist.

The violet mist flared brightly. Fuya and Ming’s body trembled slightly, shaken back dozens of steps. But with another wave of his hand, Kaizu snatched, forcibly pulling Fuya and Ming a few steps closer to him. He roared triumphantly, preparing to unleash another black light.

The light mist flickered again, and Fuya and Ming’s body quivered slightly. Seeing that continuing this passive defense would only lead to her mana being depleted faster and faster, Fuya and Ming grew slightly anxious. She clenched the God-Slaying Orb and flung it back towards Kaizu.

As the God-Slaying Orb appeared, the sky was instantly filled with dazzling white light flashes. The innate supreme Tai Bai Golden Qi materialized into endless sharp rays that illuminated the sky, causing extreme pain to Kaizu’s eyes. He could only close them involuntarily, and large drops of bloody tears streamed from his damaged eyes. The God-Slaying Orb generated a sharp, swift breeze, hurtling towards Kaizu’s head like lightning.

Just as the God-Slaying Orb was about to strike Kaizu’s crown, Kaizu, possessing extremely fast reaction time and combat instinct, violently twisted his body, meeting the descending orb with his left shoulder. A crisp crack sounded. The Five Elements Golden Qi rules from the Outer Domain New Universe contained within the God-Slaying Orb erupted, acting like billions of sharp knives slicing down. Kaizu’s right shoulder, along with nearly half his torso, was pulverized into messy chunks. Countless palm-sized, thin-as-cicada-wing pieces of flesh sprayed out from him.

Flesh scattered and blood splattered everywhere. Kaizu let out a tragic howl of pain and retreated with all his might.

In that swift moment, since Fuya and Ming had already deployed the God-Slaying Orb—one of the Seven Primordial Supreme Treasures—she decided to go all the way and bring out the Primordial Chaos Mixed Seven Treasures Sword and the Azure Mirage Bottle as well. Seven-colored radiance flashed in the sky. A strangely shaped longsword suddenly cleaved toward the seventeen Kaizu descendants who were locked in a stalemate with Siren and the others. A chaos of earth, water, fire, wind, thunder, lightning, and electricity flashed wildly. Terrifying power of heaven and earth exploded forth, and the seventeen descendants were instantly reduced to dust without even a groan.

When the Azure Mirage Bottle emerged, two streams of azure energy, like dragons, spewed from its mouth, easily swallowing the smirking Weiwei whole. The Yin and Yang energies swirled within the bottle. Weiwei, whose strength was equivalent to a Third-Grade Golden Immortal, let out a miserable scream. Before she could fully comprehend what had happened, she was twisted into fine powder by the Yin and Yang energies.

Zhuhua cried out in distress, "Sister-in-law... my beauty... I was just starting to have fun!"

Daoist Xiao Zhang and Daoist Zheng Yi nearby simply threw up their hands and shook their heads helplessly. Once Fuya and Ming became provoked, their killing intent was immense. The activation of three Primordial Supreme Treasures meant that those unfortunate descendants, who were merely in the Lower Golden Immortal tier, stood no chance against them. They were naturally swept away in a single, devastating blow. What a shame, what a shame—they had just advanced to the Golden Immortal realm and were having such a good time.

Gu Yechen, taking a step forward to stand beside Fuya and Ming, stumbled and nearly fell over. Fuya and Ming had unhesitatingly used three Supreme Treasures to wipe out the eighteen Golden Immortal-level descendants with such apparent ease. This left Gu Yechen almost speechless.

His memory, inherited from the True Lord of the Lunar Yin, was correct: Immortals possessing Primordial Artifacts are dragons; those without are insects. On the Great Desolate Land, the difference between slave owners and slaves was precisely the protection afforded by a Primordial Artifact!

With a wry smile, seeing the enraged Fuya and Ming preparing to unleash the God-Slaying Orb to destroy Kaizu, Gu Yechen quickly called out, "Wait! Let me try out the divine ability I cultivated using my needles!"

Grasping Fuya and Ming’s small hand, Gu Yechen glared. The vertical eye on his brow suddenly opened, and a faint, ashen spiritual light silently shot out, precisely enveloping Kaizu, who had already fled hundreds of miles away.

The power of heaven and earth shuddered. Centered on Kaizu, a hazy circle of spiritual light quietly spread, within which six-colored strange light faintly flickered.

Kaizu’s body trembled, rapidly entering and exiting the six-colored light within the blink of an eye. In that instant, thick baleful aura erupted around Kaizu—the kind of aura only possessed by bloodthirsty maniacs who have slaughtered countless lives.

The dense, blood-red baleful aura surged hundreds of meters high. Zhuhua, watching from the side, couldn't help but exclaim, "How many people did this brute kill to accrue such heavy karma?"

How many people he killed didn't matter. A thundercloud of heavenly tribulation suddenly rolled out in the void, and a flash of violent lightning struck down, instantly vaporizing Kaizu’s body.

Everyone stared at Gu Yechen in astonishment. What exactly was the nature of this divine eye technique? It was too bizarre, too overwhelmingly powerful.

Gu Yechen smiled, the vertical eye on his brow swiftly closing. He narrowed his eyes and lightly shook his head.

"The interesting part has finally begun!"

After the Eye of Reincarnation eliminated Kaizu, Gu Yechen extracted some intriguing information from him.

The Angel Legion and the Dark Creatures had simultaneously launched an attack against the Demon Emperor Long Gen!
