146: The Demon Abyss has collapsed! My wife is pregnant?! And this demonic energy is sweet!

Sacred Ruins Continent, Demon Abyss.

This was a forbidden zone for living beings, where even the wind blowing through sounded like the wailing of vengeful ghosts.

A terrifying scar ten thousand miles long split the earth, and ink-colored Devilish Qi gushed from it like boiling asphalt, emitting a nauseating aura of decay and depravity.

"Crack—!"

Above the abyss, the ancient bronze tripod that had suppressed it for tens of thousands of years emitted an overwhelmed wail.

The body of the tripod was covered in cracks, and its divine light was as dim as a flickering candle in the wind.

"We can't hold it anymore!"

An Old Supreme Being wearing the robes of the Hun Kun Academy had blood overflowing from the corners of his mouth as his hands frantically formed Seals, attempting to stabilize the great tripod.

But the moment the Divine Power in his body touched that Devilish Qi, it melted like snow meeting a hot iron, and even his Divine Soul felt a piercing, tearing pain.

"Damn it! This Devilish Qi has mutated!"

Another Old Supreme Being was filled with terror, his body trembling.

"This isn't just ordinary Great Saint Rank Devilish Qi at all... this is True Immortal Rank pollution! It can even corrode Laws!"

"The Dao Xuan girl is still down there!"

The Dean of Hun Kun had disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes as he stared intently at that bottomless demon cave.

"The Quasi-Emperor who went down to scout just now has already fallen... his Soul Lamp has been completely extinguished!"

A sense of despair spread through everyone's hearts.

This demon cave's riot was too sudden and too violent.

Even if they were Supremes or Quasi-Emperors, they were still as insignificant as ants before this terrifying power originating from the Dark Great World.

"Dean! Retreat!"

An Elder roared, "The Seal is about to shatter! If we don't leave now, we'll all die here!"

"Retreat? Retreat to where?"

The Dean of Hun Kun gave a tragic laugh and pointed to the prosperous Sacred Ruins Continent behind him.

"Once the Devilish Qi erupts, billions of living beings will turn into Demon Corpses!"

"We have no way back!"

Just then, the ancient bronze tripod shook violently once more, and a large fragment broke off and fell into the abyss.

"Roar—!!!"

From beneath the abyss came a hair-raising roar, as if billions of evil ghosts were about to rush out of Hell.

"It's over..."

Everyone's faces were ashen.

A look of determination flashed in the Dean of Hun Kun's eyes.

"I'm going to invite someone."

"Invite who? Even a Great Emperor might not be able to stop this thing!"

"Su Xuanchen."

The Dean of Hun Kun spat out those three words as if grasping the final straw of hope.

"The man who can crush even a True Immortal to death."

"Only he... offers a glimmer of hope!"

...Chaos Holy Land, Su Family.

Su Xuanchen was lying on a rocking chair, enjoying the afternoon sun.

Beside him, Gu Wushuang was wearing a loose, moon-white dress, holding a Jade Slip that she hadn't turned a page of for half a day.

Her cold and beautiful face was filled with internal conflict and shyness; she would occasionally steal a glance at Su Xuanchen, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What's wrong?"

Su Xuanchen's eyes were closed, yet he spoke lazily as if he had opened his Heavenly Eye.

"Since a moment ago, your heart has been beating as fast as a drum."

"Do you have something to say to me?"

"Ah?"

Gu Wushuang was startled, and the Jade Slip in her hand almost fell to the ground.

She bit her red lips, and the pride she once held as the Goddess of the Gu Family had completely vanished.

As if she had made a major decision, she walked to Su Xuanchen's side, took his hand, and gently placed it on her flat lower abdomen.

"Husband..."

Gu Wushuang's voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum, and her face was so red it looked like it was about to drip blood.

"I... I might be pregnant."

Su Xuanchen snapped his eyes open.

In those golden eyes, a light more dazzling than the sun erupted.

He grabbed Gu Wushuang's wrist in return and swept his Divine Thought over her.

A weak yet resilient life fluctuation was brewing within Gu Wushuang's body.

Within that fluctuation, there was actually a trace of the aura of Immortal Dao Laws!

"Good! Good! Good!"

Su Xuanchen laughed loudly, pulled Gu Wushuang into his arms, and sat her on his lap.

"As expected of the Goddess of the Gu Family, this belly of yours is truly productive!"

"A True Immortal potential!"

Gu Wushuang was so embarrassed and indignant by his blunt and crude words that she buried her head in his chest, not daring to face anyone.

"You... lower your voice!"

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Su Xuanchen gave her a hard kiss on the cheek, his mood excellent.

"This is a joyous occasion! A massive joyous occasion!"

"Pass down my order! Rewards! Every member of the clan will be rewarded with a Saint Pill!"

Listening to his overbearing command, the shyness in Gu Wushuang's heart slowly dissipated, replaced by sweetness and a sense of security.

This man was domineering, a rogue, and even a bit of a hooligan.

But as long as she was by his side, she didn't have to fear even if the sky fell.

Just as the two were sharing a tender moment.

"Buzz—!"

The Clan-Protecting Array above the Su Family suddenly rippled.

A wretched figure stumbled and rushed outside the Purple Heaven Palace.

"Emperor Su! Help!!"

The shrill cry for help broke the romantic atmosphere.

Su Xuanchen frowned, his smile fading as his expression turned cold and sharp.

"Who is so blind?"

"To dare disturb my pleasure at a time like this?"

He let go of Gu Wushuang, helped her straighten her clothes, and then stepped out, appearing outside the hall in an instant.

He saw an Old Supreme Being from the Hun Kun Academy kneeling on the ground, covered in blood, his aura withered to the extreme.

"Hun Kun Academy?"

Su Xuanchen raised an eyebrow, recognizing this old acquaintance.

"How did you end up in such a state? Were you boiled?"

"Emperor Su!"

The Old Supreme Being didn't have time for pleasantries; he grabbed Su Xuanchen's leg, tears streaming down his face.

"Something terrible has happened! The Demon Abyss Seal in the Sacred Ruins Continent has shattered!"

"The Dao Xuan Saintess... the Dao Xuan Saintess is trapped inside! Her life and death are unknown!"

"What?!"

Su Xuanchen's originally nonchalant expression suddenly froze.

A terrifying burst of Evil Qi erupted, directly shattering the clouds overhead.

The Dao Xuan Saintess?

That woman who always kept a cold face but had tsundere-ly promised to consider marrying him?

That was his designated wife!

She was one of the main forces for my Su Family's future progeny!

Who dared to touch his woman?!

"What happened? Speak clearly!"

Su Xuanchen grabbed the Old Supreme Being by the collar and lifted him up, his eyes as fierce as an ancient Vicious Beast.

"It's... it's the Devilish Qi from the Dark Great World!"

The Dean of Hun Kun said tremblingly, "That Devilish Qi is too terrifying; it can even corrode a True Immortal. We simply couldn't stop it..."

"Dark Great World?"

Su Xuanchen's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold light flashing within them.

"What audacity."

"To dare reach their claws into my, Su Xuanchen's, bowl."

He casually tossed the Old Supreme Being aside.

"Lead the way."

Just two simple words.

Yet they carried an irresistible dominance.

"Ah? Right now?"

The Old Supreme Being was stunned for a moment.

"Nonsense!"

Su Xuanchen snorted coldly.

"If we're late and even a single hair of my wife's is harmed,"

"I'll tear down your Hun Kun Academy to fill the pit!"

"Hold tight!"

Su Xuanchen waved his hand and directly grabbed the old fellow.

"Xing Character Secret — Spacetime Great Shift!"

"Boom—!!!"

A golden road unfolded, directly ignoring the distance of space and forcibly penetrating the Void Realm.

In just a single breath,

Su Xuanchen's figure had already vanished... Sacred Ruins Continent, Demon Abyss.

The divine light dissipated,

Revealing a tall and upright figure in white.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his black hair dancing wildly, surrounded by swirling chaos qi.

Su Xuanchen!

He had arrived!

He stood at the edge of the abyss, looking down at the churning sea of Devilish Qi below.

"This is... Dark Devilish Qi?"

Su Xuanchen frowned.

This aura was indeed very disgusting.

It was full of the scents of chaos, depravity, and decay—a collection of all the negative emotions in the world.

If an ordinary Great Emperor were to be touched by it, their Dao Heart would collapse and their Physical Body would rot.

"Emperor Su, be careful!"

The Old Supreme Being he had brought along was still pale with fright, even standing behind Su Xuanchen.

"This Devilish Qi is strange! It can devour spiritual energy and assimilate Laws!"

"You must not let it enter your body!"

However,

Su Xuanchen turned a deaf ear.

Not only did he not retreat, but he also took a step forward, standing directly at the forefront of the Devilish Qi.

"Devour spiritual energy?"

Su Xuanchen gave a playful smile.

Just now,

When he approached this Demon Abyss,

The long-dormant special Physique in his body—the [Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Primordial Demon Body]—

Actually... felt hungry?

That feeling was like someone who hadn't eaten for three days and nights suddenly smelling the aroma of braised pork.

Every cell was cheering, every cell was craving.

That instinct from deep within his Bloodline told him:

This wasn't poison.

This was... a supplement!

"Interesting."

Su Xuanchen licked his lips, a look of madness flashing in his eyes.

"What others avoid like poison is a feast for me?"
