292: Chapter 292 I can't beat you, but my son can!

The Shadow Emperor hovered in the Void Realm, gazing at the black-skirted figure before him radiating Jidao pressure, a deep sense of confusion flickering in his eyes.

As an Emperor who had extensive dealings and informants across various Star Domains, he felt that the Aura of this woman, who had just attained the Emperor Realm, was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

"My Star Domain was already occupied by Realm Demons in the last era."

The Empress Jiuyou seemed to see through his confusion and spoke indifferently, her voice carrying a hint of the vicissitudes of eternal ages.

Hearing these words, the Shadow Emperor's pupils shrank suddenly, and a sharp light burst from his eyes.

"You are... the Jidao Empress?! You actually didn't die?!"

He finally remembered; that first Star Domain to be breached by the Demon Mother Nest was precisely where the Jidao Empress resided!

Rumors said that in that battle, the Jidao Empress fought until her Origin was exhausted. He never expected to meet her here!

"Just good luck, preserving a wisp of a remnant soul to be reborn in the Lower Realm." The Empress remained expressionless, offering no further explanation.

"Very well!"

Learning the other party's true identity, the hostility on the Shadow Emperor's face subsided slightly.

He was well aware of the Jidao Empress's combat power. He nodded slightly toward her: "With your joining, the Star Domain army has another trump card against the demons. The probability of us holding the rear of the Three Thousand Upper Realms is much higher now!"

However, when the Shadow Emperor's gaze shifted from the Empress to the Human Race territory below...

Even this Emperor, who was accustomed to great storms, couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

Only then did he discover that in this tiny Lower Realm, a hundred new Saints had appeared out of thin air!

Suddenly, the Shadow Emperor's gaze caught a familiar figure in the crowd. He frowned slightly, his majestic voice echoing across the horizon:

"Liuli? Why are you here?"

Hearing that familiar voice, Ying Liuli's delicate body trembled slightly.

But she did not shrink back. Instead, she raised her head with great strength, looking directly at this high-and-mighty father, and spoke coldly: "Does it matter to you where I am?"

"You... still resent me?" Looking at his daughter's hostile eyes, the Shadow Emperor's expression was rarely complex.

"Resent you? Why shouldn't I resent you?!"

These words completely ignited the grievances and anger Ying Liuli had suppressed for a century. She pointed at Ying Liuzhan nearby, her eyes red as she accused:

"Back then, my companion Shadow of God was forcibly taken by her, Ying Liuzhan! As a father, you not only failed to punish her, but you even said in front of the entire clan that the weak do not deserve to stay in the Shadow Clan! You allowed me to be exiled!"

"Just because my mother died early and had no background! Should I have been discarded by you like trash?!"

Facing his daughter's blood-weeping accusation...

The Shadow Emperor's eyes showed little emotion.

At this moment, his gaze contained none of the affection of a father; it was entirely the cold posture of an absolutely rational Family leader making a trade-off of interests.

"Liuli, you must understand. Your personality is indeed not suited for staying in the Shadow Clan."

The Shadow Emperor's tone was flat: "Keeping your Shadow of God would have been a waste of a heavenly gift. Having it consumed by your sister allows her to step closer to the threshold of the Emperor Realm; that is better than letting it go to waste in your hands."

"After all, your sister has more hope of becoming an Emperor than you. And the Family needs a new Emperor to support it."

"That's right, my dear sister."

Ying Liuzhan, standing nearby, followed with a sneer. Her eyes showed no guilt for snatching her relative's possession, only a condescending surprise:

"Your personality is too weak, never fighting or striving. How could you establish yourself in the cruel Wanxiang Star Domain? By relying on father to protect you for a lifetime?"

"I thought you would spend your life in some corner forgotten by the world. I didn't expect you to exceed my expectations and become a Saint."

Ying Liuzhan crossed her arms. Although she was somewhat surprised by her sister becoming a Saint, she still mocked with full confidence:

"However, even if you've become a Saint, so what? You still can't beat me."

"My mother indeed can't beat you..."

Just as Ying Liuzhan finished speaking.

Suddenly, a wild young voice exploded in the Void Realm.

"Then what about me?!"

*Swoosh—*

Accompanied by an extremely eerie spatial distortion.

A youth with sharp brows and bright eyes, wearing a suit of ink-colored fine robes, instantly appeared in front of Ying Liuli.

Su Yu did not intentionally restrain his newly ascended Saint Aura. He stood there, and the surrounding shadow laws seemed to submit to him as if meeting their monarch!

The pure, extreme shadow Aura he radiated actually managed to suppress the pressure of the veteran Saint, Ying Liuzhan!

"Mother???"

Hearing this address, Ying Liuzhan's eyes widened. She looked at Ying Liuli as if seeing a monster, then glanced at the terrifyingly imposing youth, Su Yu.

She admitted Ying Liuli was no good, but the Aura of this youth before her was something she couldn't quite gauge!

The competition between Saints was to see whose comprehension of the power of laws was deepest.

Clearly, this youth's shadow foundation was far more pure and terrifying than hers even after she had consumed the 'Shadow of God'!

And at this moment.

The Shadow Emperor, who had previously looked on with indifference and treated Family ties like weeds, saw the Origin power flowing in Su Yu's blood and his expression changed drastically!

He no longer cared for his dignity or posture as an Emperor. His figure blurred as he teleported toward Su Yu in a state of near-discomposure!

"This is... the Atavistic Shadow Bloodline?! How is this possible?!"

*Swoosh!*

Before the Shadow Emperor could get close, the Empress Jiuyou snorted and directly tore through the void to stand in front of Su Yu and Ying Liuli.

The pressure of the Emperor Realm clashed unceremoniously. Though she did not speak, her inviolable stance made everything clear.

"Jidao Empress, move aside! This is our Family matter!"

The Shadow Emperor was truly anxious now!

Initially, he hadn't cared, but the Heaven-Defying affinity for shadow laws Su Yu had just displayed completely moved him.

If the probability of his eldest daughter Ying Liuzhan becoming an Emperor in the future was less than half, then the probability for this grandson Su Yu was at least ninety-nine percent!

Such Heaven-Defying talent originated from his Shadow Clan Bloodline; how could it be left outside? He had to be brought back to the Shadow Clan!

"Lord Shadow Emperor, please show some self-respect."

Hiding behind the Empress, Ying Liuli looked at her father's urgent face and found it incredibly ironic.

She raised her head with great firmness: "I am now a daughter-in-law of the Su Family. This child's surname is Su; he is a descendant of the Su Family!"

"And he's not the only one." Ying Liuli stroked her slightly bulging abdomen with immense pride and tenderness, then turned her head to look at the opposite Ying Liuzhan with pride and provocation:

"In the future, all the children of my husband and me will be members of the Su Family."

"I can't beat you. But my children..." Ying Liuli emphasized the plural with domineering weight: "Will definitely be able to pin you to the ground and beat you!"

"You!!"

Ying Liuzhan's face was hideously pale, her chest heaving violently, but facing this nephew whose talent was even more of a Prodigy than hers, she didn't know how to rebut.

Finally, she could only squeeze out a sour sentence:

"Not working hard yourself and relying on having children, what kind of skill is that!!"

Just at this tense moment.

*Rumble!!!*

The purple-gold Tianxuan Creation Pool burst apart, turning into auspicious light that filled the sky.

Su Feng, his white robes fluttering, slowly walked out from the afterimage of the Creation Pool as if taking a leisurely stroll.

With his appearance...

Time! Space! Life and Death!

Three terrifying law Auras surrounded him, even causing the nearby void to collapse and reorganize! It instantly attracted the gaze of everyone present!

Su Feng walked naturally to Ying Liuli's side and put his arm around her slender waist.

He looked playfully at the ugly-faced Ying Liuzhan and the Shadow Emperor, saying slowly:

"What? My wife has great talent for having children."

"Relying on children to suppress you doesn't count as skill?"

The Shadow Emperor's gaze was deep: "Kid, you are but a mere Saint. Do you think that because you have the Jidao Empress, you can act insolently before an Emperor?"

"Emperor?"

"As if I don't have one too!!"

Su Feng looked at the accumulated two hundred thousand years of cultivation ready to be infused and gave the Shadow Emperor a faint smile.

"System! Give me the Empowerment!!!"
