296: Chapter 296 The Crimson Passage, War Descends!

This strand of Primordial Qi, nurtured within Empress Jiuyou's flat abdomen like the dawn of the Universe, was exactly like the aura emanating from that mysterious Crystal Coffin!

Su Feng's brows furrowed as his mind began to race.

According to the System's 'Many Children, Many Blessings' setting, the Bloodline and talent rating of the offspring he sired with a target would inevitably exceed the mother's by one Rank.

The Empress's [Heaven-Swallowing Extreme Dao Physique] was already SSS+ Rank as certified by the System.

So, what kind of Heaven-Defying Rank would the offspring he conceived with the Empress, carrying this Primordial Qi, actually be?!

Su Feng didn't continue lingering on the bed with the Empress.

The two rose in tacit understanding and donned their clothes in silence.

However, when Su Feng naturally reached out and gently took the Empress's soft, boneless jade hand...

This habitually aloof and cold Jidao Empress only offered a symbolic struggle with slightly flushed cheeks before ceasing her resistance, letting him hold her hand tightly.

Feeling the warmth of her palm, Su Feng chuckled inwardly.

He knew that the so-called 'just this once' was merely a tsundere excuse from a woman.

Having tasted the sweetness of this first time, he and the Empress would have countless more deep exchanges in the future.

Swish—

The two of them reappeared deep within the ancient star chart.

Su Feng looked solemnly at the mysterious Crystal Coffin floating quietly in the center of the starry sky.

Sure enough, at this moment, the System notification in his vision changed:

[Ding—System re-evaluating...]

[Warning: Target's power of Karma is too great! Automatic opening time for the Crystal Coffin: One thousand years!]

[The host has mastered the prototype of Creation Rules and can choose to force it open!]

[Do you choose to open it?]

Su Feng stared at the bright red option and decisively thought: 'No!'

He was now absolutely certain that the woman lying inside this Crystal Coffin was involved in a cosmic Karma that far exceeded the limits of what the System could currently safely shield!

Now that Su Feng had mastered the rules of 'Time, Space, and Life and Death,' he had touched the key to advancing to the Heavenly Emperor Realm.

There was absolutely no need to risk opening the Crystal Coffin prematurely at this critical juncture.

Moreover, Su Feng didn't know if what would be released from the coffin would be a Heaven-Defying blessing or a world-destroying catastrophe.

"This thing is no longer safe in the star map."

Su Feng's eyes sharpened.

The power of Karma leaking from the Crystal Coffin was no longer something the ancient star chart could withstand.

Buzz—

Space Jidao Rules surged instantly!

Under Su Feng's control, the space around the massive Crystal Coffin began to fold and compress frantically, eventually turning into a streak of light and disappearing completely.

Su Feng stored it directly into the alternate space he had just opened within his body.

That place was an absolute Domain containing a world prototype, dominated by Su Feng's own Creation Rules; no external Heavenly Dao could peek into it at all!

Having done all this, Su Feng took a deep breath, holding the Empress's hand, a towering Battle Intent igniting in his eyes:

"Let's go! News has come from the Shadow Emperor; the arrival coordinates for the Realm Demons' Blood-colored Passage have been locked."

"I also want to see just how strong these Realm Demons are, who nearly drove the entire Great Thousand Star Domain to extinction!!"

Su Feng communicated with the Communication Divine Talisman via Divine Sense, and after obtaining the precise starry sky coordinates...

Riiip!

A Void Gate radiating the light of Space-Time Jidao Rules erupted in front of them.

The two stepped in, and the stars shifted.

The next second.

Su Feng and the Empress appeared side-by-side in the sky above the Far North of the Three Thousand Upper Realms.

The atmosphere here was filled with oppression and a chilling aura!

Wu Qin, clad in black dragon-patterned armor, sat atop a massive Bone Dragon Carriage with her hand on her sword, looking like a heartless god of slaughter presiding over the central army.

Seeing Su Feng's arrival, Wu Qin immediately nodded solemnly to him from the dragon carriage.

Su Feng didn't interfere with her command.

He knew that Wu Qin was currently coordinating the overall situation.

Under Ying Yue'e's internal administration and the Shadow Pavilion's forceful push, countless Cultivators, resources, and war immortal ships from the Three Thousand Upper Realms were converging on this Far North defense line like rivers flowing into the sea!

Su Feng looked up at the sky directly in front of the defense line.

With just one look, even Su Feng's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

So disgusting!

That wasn't some ordinary spatial rift at all.

A Blood-colored Passage, tens of thousands of miles in diameter, looked like a nauseatingly giant intestine, brutally piercing through the Heavenly Dao barrier of the Three Thousand Upper Realms!

This Blood-colored Passage seemed alive; its surface was covered in wriggling veins, rhythmically contracting and expanding. With every pulse, it spewed out a massive amount of black corrosive Devilish Qi!

"This channel... actually carries its own Heavenly Dao rules?"

Su Feng tried to cut it with Space Law, only to find that this Blood-colored Passage was like a parasite clinging tightly to a human artery!

Its rules were already stitched tightly to the Heavenly Dao, making it impossible to shake.

Even with Su Feng's current terrifying strength at the Late Stage of the Great Emperor Realm, he couldn't stop the opening of this channel.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The dull and oppressive sound of war drums echoed above the Far North defense line led by the Human Race.

Tens of millions of Cultivators from various races, under Wu Qin's military orders, operated like a massive, precise war machine!

At the very front of the defense line, the Titan Race had already revealed their sky-blotting ancient forms.

Tens of thousands of Titan giants, hundreds of feet tall with muscles like cast granite, held sky-splitting axes engraved with gravity runes, standing like an insurmountable steel wall at the forefront of the Formation!

Behind them, the Primordial Dragon Elephant Race roared at the sky, each step of their massive elephant feet causing the void to tremble.

The Phantasm Sound Goddesses of the Heavenly Feather Realm floated in mid-air, their Magical Artifacts glowing, ready to release large-scale interference and healing Formations at any time.

In the core of the army, ten thousand heavy composite rune cannons, personally improved by Ji Ruxue and radiating a destructive aura, raised their dark muzzles in unison, locking onto that nauseating Blood-colored Passage.

In the entire Three Thousand Upper Realms, all the races that once intrigued against each other now burst forth with unprecedented cohesion under the Human Race's absolute power and the threat of the world-ending catastrophe!

The air was thick with a suffocating, chilling aura.

Roar—!!!

Just then!

The Blood-colored Passage, like a giant intestine, suddenly swelled violently to its limit!

Then, at the end of the channel, a flower of flesh and blood filled with stench and death burst into bloom!

Accompanied by a terrifying roar capable of tearing a Cultivator's Soul.

Blood light exploded! Devilish Qi towered!

In the constricted pupils of all the Cultivators...

A black tide of Realm Demons, with distorted and hideous faces, waving claws covered in barbs, surged out from the Blood-colored Passage like endless hungry ghosts crawling out of the depths of Hell, filled with a madness to devour everything!

That despair-inducing black demonic tide instantly obscured the light of the sky.

Above the firmament.

Su Feng keenly felt the jade hand that had been holding his tightly suddenly tremble violently.

He turned his head to see the Empress's habitually cold and beautiful face now filled with bone-deep hatred and anger.

The Empress's deep Jidao eyes stared fixedly at the surging tide of demons below, the killing intent in her eyes almost solidifying.

Others might only see the terror of the demons.

But for her, these monsters radiating a corrosive aura were the eternal nightmare of her previous life!

"Don't be afraid."

Feeling the coldness of her palm, Su Feng didn't waste words; he just firmly squeezed her hand and pulled her toward his broad shoulder.

He looked down at the demon tide that resembled the apocalypse, no fear in his deep double pupils.

Su Feng said expressionlessly in a low voice:

"War... has descended."
