837: The opportunity for Qiongshuang's breakthrough

"Husband (Big Brother)!" Luo Tianying's expression changed slightly, and she was just about to step in to help—

Boom!

The stone door of the Immortal Cave did not open, but a massive dark-gold palm condensed from pure vitality and blood power, like the claw of a god or demon reaching out from the Void Realm, boldly met that violent Pill Lightning!

The palm was knotted with muscles, its lines as clear as Dao marks, radiating a terrifying power that could suppress mountains and rivers and destroy all laws!

Crack!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a crisp sound like glass shattering!

The terrifying Pill Lightning, which would have forced even a Void Refinement Mid-stage Cultivator to be on high alert, shattered like fragile porcelain the moment it touched that dark-gold vitality and blood palm! It turned into a sky full of tiny sparks, which were directly swallowed and annihilated by the vitality and blood power radiating from the palm!

From condensation to crushing the Pill Lightning, the entire process took less than a breath!

Overbearing! Tyrannical! Breaking all laws with pure strength!

The tribulation cloud seemed provoked by this defiance, rolling even more violently as they brewed even stronger lightning!

However, the dark-gold vitality and blood palm did not dissipate; instead, it reached high and made an incredibly arrogant gesture toward the rolling tribulation cloud—it spread its five fingers and then suddenly clenched into a fist!

Rumble!

An invisible, world-dominating will of vitality and blood soared into the sky!

The gathering tribulation cloud seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand and jolted violently! They let out an unwilling, muffled roar before... dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye!

With a single hand! Crushing lightning! Clenching away! The tribulation cloud!

The whole process was as fast as a flash of lightning! Inside the Immortal Cave, Yao Delong hadn't even interrupted his Alchemy rhythm!

Outside the Immortal Cave.

Luo Tianying's beautiful eyes widened, her ice-blue pupils shimmering with shock and joy!

She knew her husband was strong, especially since he had already displayed terrifying combat power beyond his Realm during the battle in Fengdu City against Permanent Nothingness and his father, the Mad Extreme Demon Lord. But she never imagined that her husband's current Physical Body strength had reached such an unfathomable level! He withstood the Pill Lightning with ease and dispersed the tribulation cloud with a single hand!

Beside her, Qiong Shuang's large ice-blue eyes were wide and round, her small mouth slightly agape, having even forgotten to nibble on her candied haws. Though she was naive, her perception of power was extremely keen. She felt that the vitality and blood Big Brother erupted with just now made even her true form as a Ninth Rank Peak Ice Flood Dragon feel a tremor from the depths of her Bloodline and... awe?

Luo Tianying looked up at the sky, which was gradually returning to its dim state, and then at the increasingly dense pill fragrance from the Immortal Cave that was almost becoming tangible. Her eyes were filled with anticipation and tenderness.

Inside the Immortal Cave.

The radiance of the mountain river sun moon cauldron withdrew as the lid lifted on its own.

Buzz!

A soft yet incredibly brilliant seven-colored light soared into the sky, instantly illuminating the dim Immortal Cave like a fairyland! Within the light, a round, crystal-clear Medicinal Pill the size of a longan slowly rose.

It wasn't static but rotated slowly as if it were alive. Every rotation brought visible ripples of pill charm containing pure Soul Power! A strange pill fragrance that refreshed the heart and reached the depths of the Soul spread out. Just inhaling a sliver of it made one's mind clear, and the Primordial Spirit felt as if it had been washed by warm spring water, with all fatigue swept away!

The great void spirit nurturing pill is complete!

Just then, Luo Tianying and Qiong Shuang walked in. Luo Tianying's gaze was instantly drawn to the Treasure Pill within the light, and her breath hitched slightly. She could clearly feel the majestic Soul Power contained within the pill; it was exactly the nourishment she needed right now!

Beside her, Qiong Shuang's reaction was even more intense!

"Wow—!" Her ice-blue eyes instantly erupted with a startling light, as if she had discovered the most enticing treasure in the world! The thick pill fragrance entered her nostrils, causing the Ninth Rank Ice Flood Dragon demon soul within her to throb uncontrollably!

An intense longing from the depths of her Bloodline erupted!

She could clearly "hear" her demon soul screaming: Eat it! Eating it will break the Bottleneck barrier that has troubled me for years! I'll be able to reach the Tenth Rank Demon King Realm!

Qiong Shuang could no longer restrain herself and rushed like a whirlwind to the side of Yao Delong, who had just collected the pill and had a satisfied smile on his face. She unceremoniously grabbed his arm and shook it vigorously, her incredibly elastic softness pressing against his arm without reservation. Her small face was full of urgency and longing, and her voice was crisp and sweet, with a hint of a coquettish sob:

"Big Brother! Big Brother! Please! Refine one for me too! This Treasure Pill! I can feel it! It... it can make my demon soul transform! Really! I feel that as long as I eat it, I have a ninety percent chance of ascending to a Tenth Rank Demon King! Big Brother~~~ I'm begging you!"

Caught off guard, Yao Delong stumbled. Feeling the startling sensation on his arm and seeing the longing nearly overflowing from Qiong Shuang's eyes, he was also slightly surprised.

'This great void spirit nurturing pill actually has such a strong attraction for a Yao Soul too? It can even help her break through to the Tenth Rank?' This was an unexpected pleasant surprise. But on second thought, the core of the great void spirit nurturing pill is to nourish and strengthen the Divine Soul Origin. Qiong Shuang is a Ninth Rank Peak Ice Flood Dragon, and her demon soul is already powerful; it makes sense that this pill could become the catalyst for her Breakthrough.

He glanced at the glowing Treasure Pill in his hand and recalled the nearly ten stalks of nine-leaf soul returning grass in Luo Tianying's father's ring, as well as the massive amount of auxiliary materials in his own storage ring—it was completely sufficient!

Just as Yao Delong was about to agree, Luo Tianying took a graceful step forward and said softly, "Husband, if this pill is of great use for Sister Qiong Shuang's Breakthrough to the Tenth Rank, then let her have it first."

She looked at Qiong Shuang with a gentle gaze. "If Sister Qiong Shuang can successfully ascend to the Demon King Realm, her strength will increase greatly, and she will be a major help to you when traveling the Eastern Region and facing powerful enemies! That is more important than anything." She paused and looked at Yao Delong, her voice filled with immense trust and thoughtfulness. "As for me... the damage to my Primordial Spirit was mostly recovered during your last... 'treatment.' I can just slowly recuperate the rest. You can refine another one for me anytime, can't you?"

These words reflected her care for Qiong Shuang and showed her unconditional trust in Yao Delong and her thoughtfulness in prioritizing the bigger picture! It perfectly displayed the softness and wisdom of a Demonic Path enchantress before her lover.

Yao Delong felt a warmth in his heart, moved by Luo Tianying's understanding. He smiled slightly and handed the great void spirit nurturing pill, which was radiating an enticing light, directly to Luo Tianying. "Take it. This pill is what you need."

His tone carried an unquestionable dominance yet was filled with deep pampering. "Don't worry, there are plenty of medicinal materials! A mere two great void spirit nurturing pills won't stump your husband! I'll refine Qiong Shuang's portion right now!"

Upon hearing this, the last bit of worry in Luo Tianying's heart vanished, replaced by a deep sweetness. She took the warm Treasure Pill with great care, feeling the surging Soul Power within it, and her smile bloomed like a flower. "Mhm! I believe you, husband!"

"Great! Big Brother! You're the best!" Hearing that he could refine more, Qiong Shuang immediately beamed with joy. Her previous bit of grievance was instantly thrown to the back of her mind as she jumped up and down while hugging Yao Delong's arm, looking as if she wanted to give him a kiss on the cheek.
