Chapter 985
Once the Empress was a maid!
The legendary Empress Xuanming had submitted to Fang Qing, bowing her head and looking meek, as if she were truly just a docile maid.
Her face remained as if sculpted from ancient jade, with skin as white as ice and bones as white as snow, but the sharpness and coldness of her former imperial nature had been concealed in her eyes, leaving only a gentle and respectful demeanor.
When her eyelashes droop slightly, a faint hint of complexity occasionally flashes across her eyes.
It wasn't a complete submission, but rather a calculated chess player who, after assessing the situation, voluntarily transformed herself into a more refined chess piece, betting on this chessboard she had never seen before.
She harbored both awe for absolute power and a yearning for and exploration of the future.
Serving Fang Qing might be the greatest adventure of her long life, but it could also be the closest she could get to the true path of immortality.
When Empress Xuanming submitted to Su Qing, Fang Qing's gaze swept over the other leaders of the forces who were eager to make their move.
Those who met his gaze felt a chill run down their spines and lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes. Even the Xuanming Empress had submitted, and the fate of the Broken Army Elder was unknown; who would dare to provoke this jinx?
Fang Qing didn't bother with these people; he had already achieved his goal. He looked at the ancient divine insect (mother insect), whose aura was extremely weak due to laying eggs, and which was looking at him warily and blankly.
"Come with me, and I will help you recover and provide you with a safe place to conceive."
Fang Qing communicated with his divine sense, while simultaneously releasing the aura of the spatial worm larva and a sense of goodwill.
The ancient divine insect seemed to sense the shared aura of the space divine insect larva, and felt both fear and a strange affinity for the will on Fang Qing that made it tremble. After hesitating for a moment, it finally nodded slowly. Its enormous body began to shrink, turning into a red light, and flew into the chaotic inner world that Fang Qing had opened up, staying with the insect eggs.
Having done all this, Fang Qing didn't linger and said to Empress Xuanming, "Follow me."
Immediately, he activated the larvae of the Space God Worm, combining them with the natural affinity of the newly acquired Primordial God Worm for space, and forcibly tore open a relatively stable temporary passage to the outside world of the Myriad Realms King Map in this chaotic area ravaged by the great war.
He needs to leave the Myriad Realms King Map first!
This place is wonderful, with endless resources, but it inexplicably suppresses breakthroughs in cultivation levels.
His current accumulation is already sufficient, especially after obtaining hundreds of ancient divine insect eggs and mother insects, as well as the Devouring Will brought by the Ancient Serpent Talisman of the Supreme Emperor, making his foundation more profound than ever before.
He urgently needed to find a safe place to break through his cultivation level and transform all his gains into real cultivation!
Empress Xuanming dared not be negligent and followed closely behind.
The two figures flashed and disappeared into the spatial passage, leaving behind a battlefield littered with debris and a group of cultivators from various factions looking at each other with mixed feelings.
……
Beyond the Myriad Realms King Map, on the edge of the Panhu Heaven Star Domain, in the depths of a desolate and lifeless star domain.
Fang Qing chose an abandoned star that had long since lost all signs of life and whose very essence had been depleted as his temporary place of seclusion.
With everything prepared, Fang Qing sat cross-legged in a naturally formed cavity at the core of the star.
He no longer suppressed his aura and released all the accumulation he had gained in the Myriad Realms King Map during this period!
Boom!
It's as if a volcano that has been suppressed for too long has finally found an outlet!
Fang Qing's aura began to surge wildly at an alarming rate.
His chaotic inner world expanded violently, the foundation of the five elements transformed into stable continents and mountains, the yin and yang energies rose into the sun, moon and stars, the power of space constructed a stable crystal wall, and ripples of time began to gently ripple within.
The twenty-eight "Ancient Serpent Talismans of the Supreme Emperor" floated in the center of the inner world, like twenty-eight origin points that devoured everything, constantly absorbing and releasing energy, exuding the majesty of an emperor who ruled over all serpents.
Hundreds of ancient divine insect eggs and the mother insect floated and sank in a separately designated area, exuding vitality.
The barriers of realm were as fragile as paper in the face of such overwhelming and heaven-defying accumulation, and were pierced through layer by layer!
The boundless calamities descended, but Fang Qing devoured them all, and thus Fang Qing directly ascended to the ninth level of the Heavenly Realm, reaching the Heavenly Realm.
Instantly, his aura became as vast as the starry sky, and his entire being exuded a deep, chaotic, and restrained aura, like a walking cosmic singularity.
With every gesture, space resonates, time ripples appear and disappear, and the five elements and yin and yang move as if they were part of one's own body.
He stood in the void, becoming the sole center. Even the remnants of the starry sky, which had just endured the cataclysm of destruction, regained a faint sense of order and vitality under his aura.
That was the true aura of someone at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Realm, half-step into the Shattered Realm, domineering yet peaceful, as if they had already transcended the constraints of ordinary power levels.
This imposing aura instilled in the Xuanming Empress a profound sense of awe from the depths of her soul.
"Young Master's divine might, Xuanming... truly breathtaking."
Empress Xuanming bowed gracefully once more, her voice soft, carrying with it heartfelt shock and a barely perceptible tremor.
She was once an empress who ruled over a region, and had seen countless geniuses and weathered countless storms, but she had never seen a monster like Fang Qing who devoured a world-shaking tribulation as a tonic.
Fang Qing smiled slightly and continued to examine the world within his body. His inner world had undergone earth-shattering changes, expanding in size by hundreds of thousands of times!
The Five Elements Continent is vast and boundless, complete with mountains, rivers, forests, and lakes. The sun, moon, and stars hang high in the sky, their trajectories mysterious, radiating real light and heat.
The spatial crystal wall was tough and stable, and the flow of time was slightly faster than outside. In the central area, the twenty-eight ancient serpent talismans of the Supreme Emperor were like twenty-eight dark golden stars, breathing in and out chaotic energy. Their energy was connected to each other, and they faintly formed the core of a huge formation.
The most eye-catching feature was the separately designated "Divine Insect Nest." Hundreds of ancient divine insect eggs floated like rubies, radiating intense life and spatial fluctuations.
The weakened queen insect was perched in the center of the nest, slowly absorbing the free-floating energy within her inner world to recover.
Sensing Fang Qing's divine sense, it slightly raised its head, conveying a sense of submission and dependence.
"very good."
Fang Qing nodded and turned his gaze to the hundreds of ancient divine insect eggs.
"If all these insect eggs hatch, they will be an astonishing force. But hatching requires time and a massive amount of spatial energy."
Fang Qing separated a wisp of his divine sense, combining it with the aura of the spatial worm larvae, and began to attempt to establish a deeper connection with these unhatched eggs. He slowly nurtured them with chaotic true qi, while simultaneously sensing the spatial Dao patterns naturally formed on their eggshells. Just as Fang Qing was immersed in cultivation and comprehension, the Xuanming Empress's mood was far from as calm as it appeared.
As she gazed at the energy fluctuations and rhythms of the Dao that made even her heart pound, she felt a mix of emotions.
"Reaching the peak of the Heavenly Realm... even touching the threshold of the Shattered Realm... How old is he? How long has he been in the Myriad Realms King Map?"
Empress Xuanming was utterly shocked.
She herself had toiled for tens of thousands of years in the Myriad Realms King Map, and with the help of the special environment and resources within the King Map, she had only honed her strength to a level comparable to the sixth rank of the Heavenly Realm. Compared to Fang Qing, she was worlds apart.
What made her feel even more powerless was Fang Qing's unfathomable potential and endless methods. That bizarre devouring ability, his abnormally powerful physical body, his exquisite spatial control, and that chaotic aura that seemed to govern all the Great Dao... each of them was beyond her comprehension.
"Perhaps... this really is my only way out."
A flicker of struggle crossed the Xuanming Empress's stunningly beautiful face, which quickly turned into unwavering resolve.
She was once an empress, skilled at assessing situations and, more importantly, at investing. Fang Qing's potential was worth risking everything for, including herself.
So when Fang Qing finished his cultivation, this empress appeared even more gentle and charming.
Fang Qing chuckled.
Empress Xuanming was indeed exceptionally beautiful, with a cool and mature demeanor. Her lowered gaze at this moment added to her charm.
In particular, the pure Xuanming Cold Qi within her body is a good tonic for cultivators who practice the Yin-Yang Dao.
Perhaps it was the subtle change in his mindset after his strength increased dramatically, or perhaps it was the need for a break after a long period of cultivation, but a thought arose in Fang Qing's mind.
He walked slowly to Empress Xuanming and gently lifted her smooth chin.
Empress Xuanming trembled slightly, her long eyelashes drooped, and a faint blush rose on her cheeks. Instead of flinching, she obediently raised her eyes to look at Fang Qing, her eyes sparkling with a hint of shyness and anticipation.
She took a step forward, and a hint of warmth and fragrance quietly mixed into the cold, mysterious aura emanating from her.
Fang Qing said no more, and with a wave of his hand, a cloud bed formed from pure energy appeared in the cave.
In the time that followed, the cave was filled with the vibrant colors of spring.
Empress Xuanming, as expected of a former empress, although not very experienced in matters of love, had extremely high comprehension and completely opened her heart to Fang Qing.
The pure Xuanming Yuan Yin within her body was indeed a good supplement to Fang Qing's Chaotic True Qi, which had integrated Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, as it could harmonize Yin and Yang and purify True Qi.
Fang Qing's vast, ocean-like chaotic power, containing multiple profound truths of the Great Dao, was an unimaginable blessing for the Xuanming Empress.
After exchanging ideas on the Great Dao, Empress Xuanming nestled lazily in Fang Qing's arms, her skin flushed with a beautiful blush. She felt better than ever before, and her cultivation showed signs of breaking through to the seventh level of the Heavenly Realm!
How are you feeling?
Fang Qing asked calmly.
"Thank you for your kindness, young master..."
Empress Xuanming's voice was soft and sweet, "Xuanming feels... wonderful. Young Master's divine might is truly admirable."
These words truly came from the heart.
"Ah."
Fang Qing nodded. "Get up, we should get down to business."
Having subdued the Xuanming Empress, it's time to return to the Myriad Realms King Map!
There are still unexplored secrets and unfulfilled opportunities there.
Empress Xuanming quickly got up and helped Fang Qing get dressed, her movements gentle and natural, as if she were truly a caring maid.
However, there was an indescribable dependence in her gaze as she looked at Fang Qing.
The two left the temporary cave.
Fang Qing waved his hand to remove the restriction and looked in the direction where the Myriad Realms King Map might exist.
"This time when I go back, things will be very different."
Fang Qing's lips curled up slightly.
With his cultivation at the peak of the Heavenly Realm, his foundation at the Shattered Realm, twenty-eight Ancient Serpent Talismans of the Supreme Emperor, hundreds of Primordial Divine Insect Eggs and Mother Insects, and the subjugated Xuanming Empress... all of these will be his capital to dominate the Myriad Realms King Map.
He no longer needs to be as cautious as before, and can participate more actively in the competition for those core opportunities, and even try to get in touch with the true secrets of the Myriad Realms King Map!
"go!"
Fang Qing tore through space, carrying the Xuanming Empress, and sped towards the direction of the entrance to the Myriad Realms King Map in his memory. His speed was more than ten times faster than when he entered.
The spatial turbulence and energy storms along the way were like docile sheep in his eyes, easily soothed.
Soon, Fang Qing found another boundary and entered the Myriad Realms King Map once more. (End of Chapter)
