286: Chapter 286 Unexpected Situation: The Two Prodigies of the Pill Tower Activate Simultaneously!

The backyard of the Xu Family's Imperial Palace had completely fallen into a state of chaotic frenzy.

The originally serene and elegant Lingzhu Garden was now entirely enveloped by two distinct yet equally terrifying energy fluctuations.

Above the courtyard on the left, Nine-Colored Pill Clouds rolled incessantly.

Those clouds not only contained an extremely dense vitality but also faintly revealed illusory figures of the Medicine God sitting cross-legged and chanting sutras within them.

Each time the sound of chanting echoed, the surrounding Spiritual Qi would transform into droplets of sweet dew, nourishing everything on the ground. This was the ultimate phenomenon belonging to the transformation of Liu Hanyan's Wood Spirit Body.

In contrast, the courtyard on the right presented a scene of world-destroying doomsday.

The crimson-gold Origin of Ten Thousand Fires was like an inverted sea of flames, frantically devouring the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

In the center of the sea of flames, a Divine Fire Phoenix with a wingspan of a thousand zhang was letting out crisp yet painful cries toward the sky.

The terrifying heat even caused the surrounding palace walls, inscribed with Saint-rank Defensive Formation Runes, to show signs of melting. This was the violent Exotic Fire Origin within Xiao Yu's body running rampant along with the fetal movements.

"Quick! Activate the Spirit-Locking Formation! Don't let the Exotic Fire Origin harm the Young Madam!"

"Where are the Rebirth Pills? Quickly bring in the prepared Nine-Revolution Rebirth Pills!"

Over a dozen experienced Family midwives and Medical Dao Consecrated Experts, all at the Half-Saint Realm, were pacing anxiously outside the two delivery rooms.

Even with their vast experience, they had never seen a woman giving birth trigger such a terrifying phenomenon, one that could even rival a Saint Undergoing Tribulation.

To make matters worse, these two Young Madams usually competed with each other in the Dan Tower; who would have thought they would even go into labor on the same day and at the same hour! The two opposing energies clashed and collided in mid-air, making the already critical birthing process even more perilous.

"Ah—!"

A painful cry escaped from the delivery room on the right, which was surrounded by the sea of flames; it was Xiao Yu's voice.

The little wildcat, who was usually fierce and unruly, now had a voice filled with unconcealable weakness and panic.

"Sister Hanyan... I... I can't suppress this fire much longer..."

Following that, from the delivery room on the left enveloped by the Nine-Colored Pill Clouds, came Liu Hanyan's gentle yet intermittent response due to the intense pain.

"Yu'er... focus your mind... use the Grandmist Qi our husband left us... to protect your heart..."

Even at this moment, the mature and dignified Dan Tower Master was still trying to use her own weak strength to soothe her former rival.

Buzz!

At this critical moment, just as the Formations of both delivery rooms were about to collapse under the impact of the violent energy.

The Void Realm above the delivery rooms was torn open by a brute, overbearing force.

Xu Chen, dressed in his Black and Gold Silk Python Robe, stepped out of the spatial rift like a descending deity.

On his peerlessly handsome face, there was no longer the calm indifference from the main square, nor the lazy playfulness from when he teased Shang Qingdai in the treasury.

In its place was unconcealed anxiety.

"Husband!"

Hearing the sound of space tearing, the two women's voices, filled with tears and dependence, called out from within the delivery rooms simultaneously.

Xu Chen did not speak, but within his deep black eyes, a dazzling Purple-Gold Divine Light instantly erupted.

"Suppress!"

Standing atop the Nine Heavens, Xu Chen let out a furious roar that shook the firmament.

His terrifying cultivation of the Early Stage Saint, accompanied by the supreme pressure of the Hongmeng Creation Origin Body, crashed down like a hundred thousand immemorial divine mountains.

He slammed both hands downward.

His left hand controlled Life and Death Creation, transforming into a purple-gold giant hand that reached directly into the rolling Nine-Colored Pill Clouds. The Hongmeng Origin, like a gentle spring rain, forcibly smoothed out the Medicine God Body meridians within Liu Hanyan that had been disrupted by the fetal Qi.

His right hand turned into a sky-swallowing Void Realm black hole, forcefully plunging into the crimson-gold sea of flames. Without any fancy techniques, Xu Chen used his freakishly powerful Physical Body to forcibly devour and suppress the rampaging Origin of Ten Thousand Fires within Xiao Yu.

Rumble!

With Xu Chen's powerful intervention, the two violent energies that were clashing in mid-air were instantly suppressed and became as submissive as mice seeing a cat.

The sea of flames stopped boiling, and the pill clouds ceased their rampage. Under the mediation of the Hongmeng Origin, the two forces actually began to blend, forming a massive Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram that firmly protected the two delivery rooms at its center.

"Phew..."

Outside the delivery rooms, the midwives and consecrated experts, who were previously sweating with anxiety, all breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground upon seeing that majestic figure in the sky.

"The Young Lord is mighty!"

"With the Young Lord personally acting as a Protector, the two Young Madams will surely give birth safely!"

Xu Chen did not Pay attention the flattery from below; he slowly descended into the courtyard between the two delivery rooms.

By this time, Xu Chen's mother, Ji Wushuang, along with the Grand Elder and others, had rushed over from the front courtyard.

Seeing her son's tense expression, Ji Wushuang felt both relieved and pained. She stepped forward quickly and took Xu Chen's hand.

"Chener, don't panic; there's no such thing as a painless childbirth for a woman. You've already stabilized their heart meridians with the Hongmeng Origin. Leave the rest to the midwives inside."

Ji Wushuang gently comforted her son.

Xu Chen gripped his mother's hand back, his palms even seeping with a thin layer of sweat.

Even though he dared to face a Great Saint alone and treated resources from the Ancient Battlefield like common vegetables, when facing his beloved women nurturing life for him and enduring the agony of life and death, this overbearing and cold Young Master of the Imperial Clan still felt a deep sense of tension and helplessness.

"Mother, I'm fine. It's just..."

Xu Chen took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on the two closed delivery room doors, his gaze filled with unquestionable determination.

"Inside lie my, Xu Chen's, women—the mothers of my children. With me here today, no one can take them away. Even if the Heavenly Dao dares to send down a Lightning Tribulation to interfere, I will tear it apart!"

Xu Chen did not deliberately lower his voice.

Wrapped in the Hongmeng Origin, his words clearly reached into both delivery rooms.

Inside the delivery room on the left.

On Liu Hanyan's cheeks, which were pale from the intense pain, two lines of warm tears fell. They were tears of happiness and reassurance.

She bit down hard on a piece of softwood soaked in ginseng soup, her hands gripping the edge of the bed tightly, as her eyes regained the radiance and resilience of motherhood.

With her husband guarding outside, what did she have to fear?

Inside the delivery room on the right.

Hearing Xu Chen's overbearing declaration, Xiao Yu's somewhat fading consciousness instantly sharpened.

That little wildcat, who was always restless, now had a gentle smile curling at the corners of her mouth.

"This bastard... always knowing just what to say..."

Xiao Yu murmured weakly, then took a deep breath and began to follow the Midwife's rhythm, fully guiding the remaining spiritual power in her body.

In the courtyard.

Time passed second by second.

Xu Chen stood like a door god, never leaving his spot in the center of the two delivery rooms. The Saint pressure around him did not subside at all; instead, it grew more piercing as time went by.

His Divine Thought was firmly locked onto every single movement within a ten-thousand-mile radius.

Just as he had said, the birth of myth-level Physiques of this caliber would very likely attract interference from the Heavenly Dao's Lightning Tribulation. He had to ensure that nothing went wrong.

As the midwives' encouraging voices inside the delivery rooms became more urgent.

The phenomena in the sky also began to undergo startling changes.

The Nine-Colored Pill Clouds and crimson-gold sea of flames that covered the entire Di Prefecture suddenly began to shrink and rotate inward frantically.

Endless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, as if summoned, was drained all at once and poured entirely above the two delivery rooms in the backyard.

The speed at which the Spiritual Qi was drained was so fast that it even caused the Xu Family disciples celebrating on the main square to feel a momentary sense of suffocation.

"The phenomena are converging, and the Spiritual Qi is pouring back... This is... this is the sign of a Divine Fetus descending into the world!"

The Grand Elder stood behind Ji Wushuang, rubbing his hands excitedly, his old eyes fixed on the sky.

Xu Chen's fists clenched tightly, his nails nearly digging into his palms.

"Wah—!"

"Wah—!"

Just then, loud, crisp cries of infants, full of vibrant vitality, rang out from the left and right delivery rooms almost at the exact same second!

The moment the cries rang out.

The Nine-Colored Pill Clouds in the sky completely exploded, turning into a sky full of holy rain of light that fell upon the parched courtyard.

And that crimson-gold sea of flames also transformed into two illusory figures of a Dragon and a Phoenix, circling and dancing above the delivery rooms for a long time!

They were born!

The two prides of the Dan Tower had successfully given birth to their children at the same time!
