709: Chapter 709 The Future Body of the Crimson Moon Demon Emperor

"Why is there the sound of a flute here?" Xiao Chen became instantly alert.

"Where is the flute sound coming from?"

"Didn't you hear it?"

"No, I didn't!"

Holy Mother Yaoguang looked at Xiao Chen with a puzzled expression.

In the empty underground space, she could even hear each other's breathing, but could not hear any other sounds.

Xiao Chen turned his head to look at her, but saw nothing unusual. However, on second thought, given her cultivation level at the Perfection of the Immortal King Realm, it was unlikely that anything would happen to her.

The two continued forward when they suddenly saw a faint yellow light brighten up ahead.

Holy Mother Yaoguang was clearly very familiar with this, and couldn't help but exclaim, "That is a Mysterious Yellow Crystal!"

Xiao Chen was also delighted; he hadn't expected that the legendary Mysterious Yellow Crystal would be even easier to obtain than the canglan crystal.

The two walked forward quickly. As the holy light spread, Xiao Chen finally caught a glimpse of the full appearance of the Mysterious Yellow Crystal.

On top of a tall stone pillar sat an exquisite jade box, and inside the jade box lay a piece of irregular yellow crystal.

It emitted a natural, faint yellow light. Even from a considerable distance, Xiao Chen could still feel the earth elemental aura contained within it.

Just as Xiao Chen prepared to fly up, he was held back by Holy Mother Yaoguang, "Don't be hasty, I'll go with you."

"Alright."

Xiao Chen was happy to see this; the two held hands, soared into the air, and stood before the stone pillar to observe the Mysterious Yellow Crystal at close range.

Holy Mother Yaoguang cautiously scanned it with her holy light, and finding nothing unusual, signaled Xiao Chen to collect it.

"It is indeed a Mysterious Yellow Crystal; there is no problem."

Xiao Chen focused his palm and sucked it into his hand. A warm, smooth sensation spread through his palm, completely different from ordinary crystals.

Bang!

A slight explosive sound rang out without warning. Xiao Chen felt his vision blur, and a white shadow seemed to descend from the sky.

Her whole body was bathed in silver holy light, wearing a snow-white dress without a speck of dust, and three thousand strands of dark hair cascaded down from her fragrant shoulders.

That stunning, oval face, untouched by the mortal world, was gentle and moving, quiet as water, yet gave off a sense of aloofness that kept others at a distance.

In her left hand was a silver longsword, and in her right hand was a black orb.

And that black orb, Xiao Chen couldn't be more familiar with; it was clearly the [stealth bead] he had snatched from the Void Bandits.

Her appearance was exactly that of Nan Yueli/Nan Xingyao, but her temperament was somewhere between the two, making it difficult for Xiao Chen to tell who it was for a moment.

At this moment, he didn't even realize that Holy Mother Yaoguang, who had been holding his hand, was already gone.

"Big Brother."

The White-Robed Woman flew over slowly, the ethereal immortal sound spilling from her lips like a clear spring flowing through a mountain stream, like a gentle breeze brushing over a hillside.

It made him let down his guard involuntarily, wanting to immerse himself in it.

"You..."

Xiao Chen subconsciously wanted to ask whether she was Nan Xingyao or Nan Yueli, but stopped himself just as the words reached his lips.

"Big Brother, don't you remember me?"

That jade hand gently touched his cheek, and the words that spilled from her lips left Xiao Chen utterly shocked, "I am your Li Yao!"

Li Yao!

These two words were like a thunderclap, striking heavily upon Xiao Chen's heart and soul.

It was also at this moment that he found the courage to truly combine the names of Nan Yueli and Nan Xingyao, even though they were clearly two different people.

"Wrong!"

Xiao Chen retreated violently in an instant, quickly putting some distance between them, "You are not her, who exactly are you!"

"Giggle, giggle..."

The woman raised her jade hand slightly, covering her lips and giggling, "So young, yet your vigilance is quite high. It's a pity you cannot escape from my palm!"

"Who exactly are you?"

As the words fell, the woman vanished into thin air, and a woman dressed in a black dress with demon patterns emerged from the darkness.

Her terrifying Spiritual Pressure instantly spread out.

Xiao Chen felt his breathing hitch, his chest feeling as if it were being pressed by a mountain, making it hard to breathe.

She walked on lotus petals; around her bare ankles were wrapped two circles of extremely thin silver threads, and the small bells hanging from the chains were silent.

The edges of her demon-patterned dress seemed to be flowing liquid night; with every step she took, the lotus petals beneath her feet withered instantly, only to bloom again the next moment.

Her waterfall-like black hair fell to the back of her knees, and her face was at times stern and cold, at times enchanting, as white as mutton-fat jade covered in fresh snow.

A cinnabar mole was between her brows, as crimson as fresh, undried blood.

A Data Panel suddenly appeared before Xiao Chen's eyes:

Title: Red Moon Devil Emperor

Age: 1.56 billion

Race: Demon Race

Gender: Female

cultivation level: Perfection of the Immortal Emperor Realm

Rating: 5S

Physique: Thousand-Faced Phantom Demon Physique

charm value: 99.9/100

affection value: 0/100

Her age was actually exactly the same as Holy Mother Yaoguang.

And the moment he saw that cultivation level, Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat. This damn Perfection of the Immortal Emperor Realm—couldn't she achieve the status of a Creator God?

"You are the leader of the Demon Race from the ancient era, the Red Moon Devil Emperor!"

The Red Moon Devil Emperor was slightly taken aback, a hint of pride appearing at the corners of her lips, "Not bad! You have some knowledge!"

"That's a must. Facing such a Beauty, how could I not do my homework?"

"Giggle, giggle..."

The Red Moon Devil Emperor blinked her demon eyes, the demon patterns at the corners of her eyes looking exceptionally enchanting, "I am actually a bit curious."

"Curious about what?"

"My Thousand-Faced Phantom Demon Physique can transform into all living beings, and even once briefly deceived the former Dark Devil Venerable. How did you see through it?"

"Isn't that very simple?"

Xiao Chen looked calm, "Those two words have long since become a taboo in the Chaos World, and the fact that you used them without hesitation is enough to prove that this space is an illusion."

There was one other major reason that Xiao Chen didn't state explicitly: the fact that no Data Panel appeared before his eyes proved that the Fairy Li Yao from just a moment ago was an illusion.

"It seems Empress Yaoguang told you a lot, but it doesn't matter. Even if you know this is an illusion, you won't be able to get out."

"Oh?"

"Do you know what kind of place that cave you entered earlier is? That is the true form of my demon body."

"..."

Xiao Chen was shocked; no wonder that Immortal Cave was so strange. But he was not panicked at all, "I am also a bit curious; I wonder if the Beauty could enlighten me."

"Speak!"

"The Ancient Gods and Ancient Demons have long since fallen; why are you able to remain unscathed?"

"If Empress Yaoguang could sever her Karma and survive, why couldn't I? It's just that my methods are far superior to hers."

"How so?"

"She used her Emperor body as bait to preserve her past Karma and obsessions; while I sacrificed my past body to conceal the heavenly secrets with the Thousand-Faced Phantom Demon Physique."

"So what you saw was the past body of Empress Yaoguang, while I am the future body of the Red Moon Devil Emperor. Which is superior and which is inferior is clear at a glance!"

"So you mean, this Emperor body of yours right now is real?"

"What do you think?"

Xiao Chen was terrified; he had thought the Red Moon Devil Emperor before him was like the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox and the Mystic Sky Fire Phoenix, a phantom body condensed by sacrificing a remnant soul.

He hadn't expected that she was actually the real Red Moon Devil Emperor, that majestic Demon Race ruler who had once made all races tremble with fear.
