--- Chapter 236 ---
An unknown place.
A smoldering creature cried in the burning star.
"Again."
"Not again."
"God, when will you hear my prayer?"
"I have been hurting myself thirty-two times, opening the sky for you."
"Yet here I am, waiting for your light."
"..."
"..."
"I'M GOING TO BREAK THE SKY FOR THIRTY-THIRD TIMES, EVEN IF I HAD TO PAY IT WITH MY LIFE!" The creature roared at the void and caused multiple explosions.
BOOOOOM!!
CRACK!
Cracks appeared in the air as if they were 'poorly' made of glass.
Flickering candlelight flashed in the area, and they vanished,
Leaving nothing but a silent void.
...
Blue Pole Star, Illusory Demon Realm.
On top of a mountain, two figures are staring at a particular spot.
Yu Long waited for the Secret Realm to open and calculated something in his mind. He kept rubbing his chin as if in deep thought, making Chu Yueli curious about what he was thinking of.
Chu Yueli feels this Secret Realm has a connection with her master. Call it her woman's intuition, but something as absurd as dimension alteration in a place like this with Domain's power means one word.
Kaiju.
Yes, Kaiju.
Chu Yueli believed the Secret Realm was 'truthfully' caused by one of Yu Long's Kaijus.
The problem is that Chu Yueli doesn't know how powerful this Kaiju is. Chu Yueli couldn't imagine how strong a monster could be to alter dimensions like this.
"What?" Yu Long felt Chu Yueli's gaze.
Chu Yueli smiled, "Nothing."
"What do you think of the Illusory Demon Realm so far, Master?"
Yu Long stared into the distance, "Better than Profound Sky Continent."
"Really?"
"Mm. Although the Profound Sky Continent is overall stronger, something I like about the Illusory Demon Realm is the fact all races lived together in harmony."
"They embraced their differences and cultures, becoming strong together."
"Unfortunately..."
"The unity won't last long if the ruler of the Illusory Demon Realm doesn't lead things straight. The death of the Demon Emperor and Little Demon Emperor is an unfavorable disadvantage."
"If I had to guess, the Illusory Demon Realm would fall into chaos soon."
"I don't know when, though..."
"It could be tomorrow, next week, next month, or even next year."
"One thing for sure. The storm is brewing." Yu Long sighed deeply.
Truthfully, Yu Long believed the chaos in the Illusory Demon Realm would be more than Pandora had ever done to the Profound Sky Continent.
Pandora is the epitome of chaos, yes. Yu Long wouldn't deny that.
However, what's coming after them in the Illusory Demon Realm is more challenging, depending on how Yu Long faces it.
At the same time, two silhouettes stayed on opposite sides of the Secret Realm. The first silhouette is actually a giant toad with wrinkled yet glowing golden skin hugging a massive tree.
The other silhouette is a fourteen-year-old girl with black hair and an exceedingly beautiful and delicate face.
Her hair was very long and grew all the way to below her hips. It was as pitch black as a starless night.
Her skin was as snow-white and soft as a newborn baby's. It was like jade, pure and smooth without blemish. Her snowy shoulders, slender waist, small buttocks, and even her moderate breasts are charming.
She wore a purplish-black dress and dark veil, framing her beauty to the peak.
"Heavenly King of Gold." The young lady opened her pretty red lips and uttered coldly. "When will the Secret Realm open?"
"Are you perhaps wanting to trick this Empress?"
The golden toad broke a cold sweat, "Empress, I didn't dare to think such a thing."
"I already told you that the Secret Realm won't open until the sun reaches its peak."
The young lady indifferently pursed her lips, "Demonic Cores."
"Remember, your life is in my hands..."
"Yes, yes, I know." The golden toad couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
Don't look down on this cold young lady.
She might look young, but her name is 'literally' feared and worshiped in the Illusory Demon Realm.
Aside from her ethereal beauty, which makes her known as the number one beauty on the continent, people also called her the most Tyrannical Ruler in this era.
The Heavenly King of Gold was amazed at how he was 'bitterly' bound by such a terrifying figure. Aih, no wonder the Ten Heavenly Kings couldn't conquer the continent. This little empress is too powerful.
But this also makes the Golden Toad confused. Why did this Arrogant Little Empress look more desperate than anything?
The young lady swayed her body away, gazing at the mountain range far, far away.
She clenched her little hand tightly, feeling extreme heat rising through her body again.
'I don't have much time left. The Demon Emperor's Seal has disappeared in the Profound Sky Continent, and my only chance is the Divine-grade Demonic Core.' She thought solemnly.
'If I could get my hand on the Demonic Core, I might be able to calm down the Golden Crow's bloodline.'
'I believed there was a huge possibility of me getting a more stable and stronger bloodline like the other Heavenly Kings.'
'If they could reach Monarch-level in a mere sixteen years, then I can become a God with Demonic Cores.'
Unknown to the cold empress, her entry to the Secret Realm would be the luckiest encounter she had in her whole life.
On the corner of a lush forest, the Heavenly King of Stone and Heavenly King of Song gathered under an ancient tree.
The Heavenly King of Stone carried a lump on his back, making him look weird. This 'lump' is his secret trump card in the incoming Secret Realm's opening.
"Have you learned about the human who killed Burning Venom?" The Heavenly King of Stone asked his wife.
The Heavenly King of Song shook her head weakly, "Tempest and The Old North have sealed all information. They even killed the spies I planted in their forces."
"One thing for sure..."
"We can expect him to appear in the Secret Realm."
"After all, killing Burning Venom grants him the key to enter the area."
"Stone, honey, do you think he would be a problem?"
The Heavenly King of Stone grimaced, "I don't know..."
"My ability can't read the lines of this mysterious expert."
"How is that even possible? Your ability is the strongest after the Greed Monster."
"My ability is strong, but it's not absolute. It has a flaw."
"And I hope the flaw is not too big..."
The other Heavenly Kings also gathered around the Secret Realm and saw a blinking light falling from the sky. They braced themselves and were ready for the fight.
Back to Yu Long.
He stared at the falling star in the middle of the day and smiled, "So, it is you, huh?"
"As expected, things are going to be chaotic."
"Yueli, is everyone ready?" Yu Long glanced back.
Chu Yueli nodded, "Our force is ready."
"Well, let's enter the Secret Realm, shall we?"
As the falling white star descended the atmosphere and touched the ground with silent sound, an invisible barrier surrounded the mountain, forest, and a small portion of the sea.
"Let's go!" Yu Long and his people quickly reached the barrier and entered a completely different world.
Yu Long watched the dimension transforming rapidly, leaving little to no imagination on how it actually works. But Yu Long knows the truth.
"Wait, where is everyone?" Yu Long exited the deep thought and realized he was the only person in the area.
He looked around and found himself in an underground cave that led to a white light.
Yu Long frowned and mumbled, "Don't tell me you're playing around right now?"
He walked along the path and kept his Profound Sense active. He reached the end of the path and arrived at a creepy-looking, tube-shaped hall with statues on the walls and an altar in the middle.
A flash of golden light appeared in the corner of Yu Long's eyes.
It was a petite young lady in a purplish-black dress.
Yu Long couldn't see her face because she wore a dark veil, which seemed to be a Profound Artifact.
"You. You stare too much..." The young lady coldly stared at Yu Long.
"Come here and kneel before this empress."
"Pardon?" Yu Long was speechless.
He didn't expect this at all.
