Fu Xiu harbored thoughts of killing the Heavenly Emperor and had little regard for the Phoenix Clan. Just as the Heavenly Emperor was about to meet his demise, Fu Xiu seized the opportunity to take away his divine soul, connecting the Evil Ghost Path with the Batwing Ancestral Domain and slipping into it.
However, Fu Xiu was not a denizen of the underworld, nor did he cultivate the ways of the nether realm. How could he possibly endure for long in the Evil Ghost Path? He intended to develop his strength for a while, but inadvertently fell victim to the Heavenly Emperor's Soul Shattered attack.
With an unreturned Long Yuan in hand, Fu Xiu displayed great prowess in the Evil Ghost Path. This also provided Long Chang with a chance to rise again; absorbing Long Yuan allowed him to gain enough strength to sustain Fu Xiu even without a physical body.
These two brothers seemed to be eternal enemies, and it was hard to discern who was right or wrong. Ultimately, Fu Xiu did not let the Heavenly Emperor, who was left with only his divine soul, escape. Even in death, he managed to severely wound the Heavenly Emperor, leaving them both as remnants of their former selves, trapped together in the Batwing Ancestral Domain.
Without the Heaven and Earth Bestow Mandate and having been struck down by Fu Xiu at a critical moment, the two were entangled in their fates, refusing to let go of one another even in death. Fu Xiu had succumbed to madness and lost all hope of reincarnation. After some time, his remaining soul's demonic intent faded and weakened further, providing Long Chang with an opportunity.
Fu You had inadvertently entered the Ancestral Domain and was overtaken by Long Chang's consciousness. The latter still harbored ambitions of seizing control over the dragon clan and once again dominating the heavenly realm. However, after going in circles, he found himself deceived by Yun Shijiu, who had transformed from a mere serpent into a dragon. Was it not maddening?
In response, Fu Xiu Emperor smirked derisively, expressing his intent to assist Yun Shijiu in realizing her prophecy by refining Long Chang's Long Yuan and remnants of his soul. Together they would transcend into a pure Five-Clawed Golden Dragon within this heavenly realm.
The siblings exchanged knowing smiles and accepted their fate. The risks involved were indeed significant, but they could not resist its allure. To roam freely in the heavenly realm, achieving the Imperial Realm was absolutely essential; how could they afford to miss such an opportunity?
As Dragon Qi was absorbed by Shijiu, it was clear that Long Chang's possession of Fu You would lead to trouble. Thus, her sister resolved to eliminate any obstacles so that her brother could focus on breaking through to the Imperial Realm.
With clear roles defined between them and sharing knowing glances filled with ulterior motives, they parted ways. Yun Zhi Yue could utilize his Imperial Realm power without worry; however, Yun Shijiu remained cautious and did not fully trust Fu Xiu.
Who knew what Fu Xiu truly thought? Was what he showed them really the truth? Just because he claimed there was no demonic intent didn't mean it was absent.
In the Batwing Clan's Ancestral Domain, Wang Er Zhu and others were still struggling against Fu Xiu's Di Wei. Suddenly, Di Wei retracted entirely and transformed into a surging Dragon Qi.
This Dragon Qi was far beyond what had previously overflowed; its scorching intensity was overwhelming! Moments ago they faced Yin Qi pressure; now they were engulfed by Dragon Qi. No family could withstand such drastic shifts between ice and fire; Han Xi and Wang Er Zhu spat out blood.
Their blood vaporized into crimson mist due to the Dragon Qi's heat. Among them, only Han Xi remained icy cold and could only grit his teeth to manifest an ice domain for defense while Ying Ying utilized water to assist with her sea domain.
It was baffling whether they had come for training or merely to suffer; after enduring against Yin Qi for dozens of rounds, they now faced Dragon Qi without any growth in cultivation—only constant depletion from prolonged resistance.
At this moment, Han Xi felt restless; it had been quite some time since Yun Shijiu left—was she still alive?
She lowered her gaze to her abdomen, praying from the bottom of her heart for the safety of her child.
"You’re seeking death!" A furious female voice erupted as Fu You returned, chasing after Yun Shijiu.
The Yin Qi and Dragon Qi within her intertwined yet were completely incompatible, making her movements feel obscure and awkward, as if she were wearing mismatched clothing and forcing herself to engage in strenuous activity.
Fu You paid no mind to those who were struggling to hold on; she rushed towards the secluded chamber of the Fu Xiu Emperor, attacking wildly, her expression reflecting nothing short of rage.
The secluded chamber rumbled ominously, and it seemed it wouldn't hold out for much longer.
