105: Lin Yingluo, the Immortal Emperor's daughter

Although the situation with the Insect Mother, and the fluctuations from that ancient seal, distracted the three Asura Emperors a bit, preventing them from relentlessly attacking Lin Xuan and Bai Li. However, an Emperor-level brawl was no joke; even a stray ripple of residual power would be enough for the Star Palace to handle.

Lin Xuan was currently directing everyone to retreat desperately, to hide as far as possible, wishing he could activate all the sect's grand formations. In his heart, he cursed the big shots in the sky a thousand times: 'Fight if you must, but can't you go fight in the void? Do you have to demolish my house's roof?'

The disciples below were scurrying about, clutching their heads. That bloody spear earlier had almost scared them out of their wits. Now, looking up at the sky was like watching a live broadcast of the apocalypse, fearing that one of the Emperor big shots might slip up and drop something else down.

Just as chaos reigned and fear gripped everyone—

Rip!

A particularly crisp and distinct sound of space tearing suddenly rang out.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was incredibly piercing, momentarily suppressing the deafening roars and explosions from the battle above.

Everyone was startled and instinctively looked up towards the source of the sound.

They saw that in the high sky, a little further away from the battlefield of the five Immortal Emperors and three Asura Emperors, the space there twisted violently like a pretzel, and then, like a zipper, a rift was forcefully torn open!

It wasn't the shattered feeling of an explosion, but a very stable, very regular spatial vortex, filled with dazzling, shifting lights, emitting an indescribable yet profoundly ancient and powerful spatial fluctuation.

"What is this?" A Star Palace disciple's mouth hung open wide enough to fit an egg. "Is today just a bad omen? Is there no end to this?"

Even the eight Emperors clashing in the sky subconsciously slowed their movements, sending out a sliver of their divine sense to scan the area. Clearly, this suddenly appearing, stable spatial passage also surprised them.

Under everyone's bewildered gaze, the spatial vortex was silent for a moment.

Then, a small foot, clad in delicate white cloud-patterned boots, stepped out.

Following that, a figure unsteadily emerged from the vortex and stood in the void.

When they clearly saw the figure's appearance, the entire battlefield, including the eight Emperors in the sky, without exception, all froze, their jaws dropping to the ground.

That... that was actually a little girl?!

She looked to be only seven or eight years old, with two adorable bun hairstyles, wearing a beautiful moon-white dress. She was exquisitely delicate, with large, bright eyes like black grapes, curiously looking around. Her small appearance was beyond cute, like a doll from a New Year's painting.

But... where was this? This was a battlefield where Immortal Emperors fought, space shattered, and death could strike at any moment! What kind of child could emerge from such a place in such a manner?!

"Uh... wrong turn?" The little girl scratched her head, looking at the shattered space around her and the eight terrifying, towering figures in the distance. A hint of confusion appeared on her small face, but not a trace of fear.

Her adorable demeanor formed a stark contrast with the destructive environment, leaving everyone's minds reeling.

However, the next moment, when some keen-sensed individuals instinctively tried to probe the little girl's aura—

Boom!!

Everyone's divine sense felt as if it had slammed into an invisible yet indestructible wall, emanating supreme majesty! No! Not a wall! It was a boundless sea of stars! It was an unfathomable universe!

That feeling was even more... more profound and terrifying than facing the eight Emperors in the sky!

"Immortal... Immortal Emperor?! Mid-stage?!" Emperor Xuesha was the first to exclaim in a choked voice, his tone distorted, filled with an unbelievable shock!

The other two Asura Emperors and five Immortal Realm Emperors also had their pupils contract, their faces etched with "This is impossible"!

A seven or eight-year-old girl? Mid-stage Immortal Emperor?! What kind of joke was this from the Myriad Heavens and Worlds?! Which of them hadn't lived countless years, enduring myriad tribulations to finally reach the Emperor realm? It was impossible for this child to have cultivated since she was in the womb!

Lin Xuan was also dumbfounded. He rubbed his eyes vigorously, then used his Law-Breaking Chaos Eyes to look carefully again and again. That's right! The seemingly harmless little body contained boundless, terrifying power! Absolutely Immortal Emperor level, and much more stable and powerful than someone who had just broken through! Truly around the mid-stage!

Was this some old monster who had reverted to childhood? Or some innate sacred spirit taking human form? But she didn't look like it!

Just as all the Emperors and top powerhouses were shaken by the little girl's cultivation, doubting their lives, the little girl seemed to finally confirm something.

Her gaze swept over the ravaged land below, over the nervous Star Palace disciples, and finally, landed on Lin Xuan, who was being protected by his disciples and was staring at her with a bewildered expression.

Her eyes suddenly lit up!

Then, under everyone's even more horrified gazes, she lightly tapped her small foot in the air. The next instant, she completely ignored spatial distance and appeared directly in front of Lin Xuan!

Her speed was so fast that even the Emperors in the sky didn't fully see it!

The little girl tilted her small face up, blinking her large, pure, innocent, and slightly curious eyes, sizing up Lin Xuan. Her small nose even sniffed.

Lin Xuan felt a chill run down his spine, cold sweat breaking out. Being stared at like this by a mid-stage Immortal Emperor powerhouse was too much pressure! His disciples behind him also tensed, gripping their weapons, though they knew it was useless.

Just as Lin Xuan was wondering how to speak, whether to call her 'senior' or 'little friend'—

The little girl's eyes curved into crescent moons, and a brilliant, ice-melting smile bloomed on her small face. She opened her small arms and, with a clear, childish voice filled with immense affection and reliance, shouted a world-shattering phrase:

"Daddy! I finally found you!"

Lin Xuan: "???"

Yun Qingyao, Leng Yuechan, Bai Li, Mo Sha, Ye Chen... all Star Palace disciples: "???"

Eight Emperors in the sky: "?????"

The entire battlefield fell into an eerie, absolute silence.

Everyone seemed to have been collectively subjected to a petrification spell, their minds overflowing with question marks.

Daddy???

She called Lin Xuan 'Daddy'???

When did Lin Xuan have a mid-stage Immortal Emperor daughter?! And one this old?!

Lin Xuan himself felt as if he had been struck directly on the crown of his head by a bolt of Nine Heavens Chaos Divine Lightning, charred on the outside, tender on the inside, his soul almost shouted away by that single word "Daddy"!

His mouth was wide open, his eyes round, and he pointed at his nose, his voice distorted: "No... no... little girl... you... you must have mistaken me for someone else, right? I... how could I have a daughter as old as you???"

What kind of intergalactic joke was this! Lin Xuan barely had any confidantes, and he was absolutely self-disciplined, not even a shadow of a child! Let alone such a super child who could scare an Emperor to death!

Seeing him deny it, the little girl's mouth drooped, and her large eyes instantly misted over with tears, looking incredibly wronged: "You are my Daddy! I wouldn't mistake your aura! It's exactly the same as the image Mommy showed me! And this!"

As she spoke, she flipped her small hand, and a cyan jade token appeared in her palm.

Lin Xuan's pupils suddenly contracted when he saw the jade token!

That jade token... those patterns... that aura... it was almost identical to the one he had secretly kept close to his body for eight years, the jade token from the woman named Bi Yao from the Divine Wilderness Realm! It was just a size smaller!

Bi Yao?!

Eight years ago... Divine Wilderness Realm... that accident... that cold yet stunningly beautiful woman... that jade token leading to the God Realm... Lin Xuan's head buzzed, as if something had exploded!

Could it be... could that time... actually... He looked at the little girl in front of him, and upon closer inspection, the contours of her brows and eyes seemed... seemed to genuinely bear some resemblance to himself, especially those eyes, dark and bright, as if carved from the same mold as his! And the other parts were strikingly similar to the aloof and noble Bi Yao... Then, feeling a faint yet incredibly clear resonance from deep within their bloodline... Lin Xuan was completely bewildered, his mind a blank.

"You... your mother is... Bi Yao?" His voice was incredibly dry, almost squeezed out from his throat.

The little girl nodded vigorously, tears welling up: "Mm! Mommy is Bi Yao! I am Lin Yingluo!"

She tugged at Lin Xuan's clothes, looking utterly pitiful: "Daddy, don't you want Yingluo anymore?"

Boom!!!

It was confirmed!

Now, not only Lin Xuan believed it, but all the disciples who had been listening with pricked ears, and the eight Emperors in the sky whose divine senses had been focused here, all believed it!

In an instant, everyone's expressions were a sight to behold!

The Star Palace disciples were dumbfounded, then looked at Lin Xuan with expressions like "Holy crap, Palace Master is awesome!" and "Palace Master is mighty! He silently created an Immortal Emperor!"

Bai Li's gaze was incredibly complex. She looked at Lin Xuan, then at Little Yingluo, her lips moving, but she said nothing.

Yun Qingyao and the other female disciples had slightly flushed faces, their eyes somewhat evasive.

Mo Sha, the simpleton, directly grinned and gave a thumbs up: "I knew Master wasn't an ordinary person! Hahaha!"

In the sky, the five Immortal Realm Emperors exchanged glances, their expressions peculiar, especially Azure Underworld Emperor, who looked at Lin Xuan, then at the little girl, his gaze incredibly complex and hard to decipher.

And the faces of the three Asura Emperors instantly became even uglier than if they had eaten shit!

One Lin Xuan! One Bai Li! They were already difficult enough to deal with! Now, a mid-stage Immortal Emperor daughter inexplicably popped out?! How were they supposed to fight now?!

Emperor Xuesha's eyes were so dark they looked like they could drip water. He stared intently at the little girl tugging at Lin Xuan's clothes, his killing intent surging wildly. This girl... absolutely could not be allowed to live! Otherwise, the repercussions would be endless!

Lin Xuan, at this moment, had no time to care what others thought. He looked at the teary-eyed little girl in front of him, who was calling him 'Daddy,' and his heart was a jumble of emotions, a chaotic mess.

Surprise? A little, after all, she was so cute and an Immortal Emperor daughter. Bewilderment? Extremely bewildered, this was completely beyond his comprehension. Headache? An extreme headache! This child's mother was Bi Yao! The woman who said she would tear him to shreds! How did this child find her way here? Did her mother know?

He squatted down, trying to make his tone as gentle as possible, and with a slightly trembling hand, he touched Little Yingluo's head: "Yingluo, right? You... how did you come here alone? Where's your mother?"

Little Yingluo wiped her tears with her small hand and said in a sweet, childish voice: "Mommy is in seclusion, cultivating to break through to a higher realm. I secretly took Mommy's Void-Breaking Mirror, sensed Daddy's aura, and came to find you! Daddy, it's so messy here, who are those ugly monsters? Are they bullying you?"

As she spoke, she turned her head and, with her pure eyes, looked at the three menacing Asura Emperors in the sky.

Under her "innocent" gaze, the three Asura Emperors, who had shaken the Myriad Heavens, actually felt a strange pang of fear!

Lin Xuan looked at his daughter's "whoever bullies my Daddy gets a beating" demeanor, and then felt the terrifying, bottomless power within her. An incredibly absurd yet incredibly tempting thought emerged.

He pointed at Emperor Xuesha in the sky and tried to say to his daughter: "Uh... Yingluo, those particularly ugly ones, they just tried to kill Daddy, and they also wanted to kill your uncles, aunts, and senior brothers and sisters."

Upon hearing this, Little Yingluo's small face immediately puffed up with anger. She put her hands on her hips and, facing the three Asura Emperors in the sky, loudly declared in her clear, childish voice:

"Bad guys! Don't you dare bully my Daddy!"

After speaking, she lightly clapped her small hand towards Emperor Xuesha, through the air!

There were no earth-shattering energy fluctuations, no spatial-tearing display of laws.

But the moment her small hand clapped, the entire space around Emperor Xuesha, like a ball of dough gripped by an invisible giant hand, suddenly collapsed inward!

"What?!" Emperor Xuesha's face drastically changed. He frantically unleashed his Emperor power, trying to break free!

But it was useless!

Boom!!!

He was like a fly swatted by a fly swatter. His entire being, along with the surrounding space, was directly flung away by an utterly irresistible, unreasonably brutal force! He became a meteor, instantly smashing through countless layers of space, disappearing into the distant horizon!

The entire battlefield fell silent once more.

Everyone: "!!!"

Lin Xuan: "!!!"

The remaining two Asura Emperors: "!!!"

Five Immortal Realm Emperors: "!!!"

One slap... sent a full-powered Asura Emperor flying?!

What kind of monster was this little grandmother... truly?!
