Thinking of this, Zi Yan's delicate face, a hint of coldness and rage etched on the slightly raised eyebrows. As the Dragon Emperor of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, the current and quite possibly the last Dou Emperor on the Dou Qi Continent after the Source Qi disappears once again, the young Zi Yan now possesses the demeanor of a king, radiating the aura of a superior with the power of life and death, a terrifying presence.
Zi Yan, long time no see.
The murderous Dragon Emperor's defenses were completely broken by Zi Yan's affectionate words. She suddenly looked down, her powerful body trembling in a rare moment of loss of control. With an uncanny tremor, she spoke: "Sister Xun'er, and Cai Lin... Sister?!"
Xiao Xun'er smiled softly. Her snow-white dress outlined her graceful and beautiful figure, delicate and exquisitely sculpted. From her delicate shoulders and collarbone downward, the two plump and delicate peaks of her towering breasts formed two extremely graceful curves, crossing her flat belly and then her plump and rounded buttocks. Her long, snow-white legs, like solidified fat, appeared and disappeared as she walked. Every move revealed a special charm.
Her unique aura was mysterious and unpredictable, noble and inviolable, like a goddess with unparalleled beauty.
If Xiao Xun'er of the past was a celestial princess, aloof from the mundane world, revealing her true feelings only in front of Xiao Yan, then now, as the mistress of the Endless Fire Region and a powerful being among the Supreme Heavens, she has transformed into a queen who rules the empire. Her maturity exudes a certain grace and elegance that others dare not touch.
However, it is only in the presence of Xiao Yan and her son, Xiao Lin, that she reveals her true nature, transforming into the gentle and virtuous wife and mother unknown to outsiders.
If anyone could rival this stunning beauty, it would probably be the Medusa Queen Cai Lin standing nearby.
The Serpent Queen wore an intricate and luxurious golden snake crown. Her impeccably cold and enchanting face showed no sign of waking up at Zi Yan's arrival. She simply stood quietly, her arms folded across her chest, leaning against a stone pillar.
Her vibrant red traditional garb, that of a snake-man queen, was bold and voluptuous. The bra, entwined with pure golden branches, barely concealed her massive breasts. Her red skirt, with its low waist, barely reached her hips, exposing her entire soft midriff, even her waistline clearly visible. Layers of golden tassels and ornaments perfectly accentuated the voluptuous curves of the snake-man queen's hips beneath the skirt. Her two, mostly exposed, slender, white python-like legs were a breathtaking sight.
However, the most striking thing was Queen Medusa's snow-white, serpentine waist. It was something many women would starve to death to possess. Any man who laid eyes on it would instinctively shudder. Especially when this slender, flexible, snow-white waist gently twisted, any normal man would undoubtedly be driven crazy by it, both psychologically and physically, willing to do anything for it, ultimately achieving Queen Medusa's fame.
Unfortunately, just as widely known as her glamorous reputation, Queen Medusa was also known for her menacing reputation. Even though a faint, intoxicating blush still lingered on her cool, enchanting face, her captivating eyes, brimming with strange allure, still naturally exuded a powerful sense of dominance. This innate pride, born of a clan's king, remained undimmed, even after marriage. Combined with her mature and alluring charm, her allure became even more astonishing, transforming her into a captivating beauty capable of captivating the world.
Without celestial strength, a peerless beauty like this, with her terrifying power and cold-blooded methods, would be devoured simply by approaching her, let alone taming her. Yet, whether in the Dou Qi Continent or the Great Thousand World, countless reckless swarms flocked to her, even knowing she was a man-eating beauty snake. Ultimately, they all met tragic deaths at the hands of Queen Medusa, earning her a worldly reputation as a formidable foe.
... And even the Dou Qi of the original universe was experiencing problems?
Zi Yan, the Dragon Emperor, looked at Xiao Xun'er and couldn't help but sigh. If it weren't for the source energy left by her brother Xiao Yan, she probably wouldn't have been able to break through until now. Furthermore, the changes in the Dou Qi origins on the Dou Qi Continent had severely affected those above the Dou Zong level, causing their strength to decline and forcing them to retreat. As for the even stronger Dou Zun and Dou Sheng masters, many of them had also fallen due to their closer connection to the universe. Furthermore, the Five Emperors who had broken through to the sky in recent years hadn't passed down any information and were very likely dead. Many factions blamed the changes in the universe for this. If she hadn't broken through to the Dou Di level at this critical moment, the world's powerful would have risen up in rebellion, dividing up the power and resources left by the Five Emperors.
Humph, these idiots were simply courting death. It seemed like this Dou Qi Continent needed a cleanup!
Cai Lin sneered, and the porcelain cup in her hand instantly shattered into dust, spilling from her jade fingers to the ground.
Sister Cai Lin, don't forget Brother Xiao Yan's instructions. If Tian Zhizun were to launch a major attack in the lower planes, the entire Dou Qi Continent would likely be shattered. Besides, our main purpose here is to retrieve Xiao Xiao and Lin'er...
Xiao Xiao...
Hearing her daughter's name, a touch of charm suddenly crossed Cai Lin's face, once cold and filled with murderous intent.
The rise of the Endless Flame Territory was accompanied by endless wars. Queen Medusa, due to her ruthless tactics in battle, became Xiao Yan's powerful ally, and her fierce reputation spread far and wide.
But at the mere mention of Xiao Xiao, this queen, so cold and aloof in front of her own people, yet terrifying and ferocious in front of her enemies, would involuntarily transform into a beautiful woman brimming with maternal love.
The Snake People live in extremely harsh conditions. While they have cultivated a fearless demeanor in foreign battles, they cherish their offspring with great value, especially the Snake People's queen. With her pride, she would never have allowed herself to be taken in so easily and married off if she hadn't been pregnant with Xiao Yan's child.
After more than a decade apart, mother and daughter had been unable to see each other. Her longing for her daughter grew stronger, even the mere name of her name overpowering her anger and murderous intent.
Xiao Xun'er breathed a sigh of relief as she saw Cai Lin, radiating a maternal glow and lost in memories. Even in the Endless Flame Territory, this Sister Cai Lin was known for her murderous nature. If she got angry, not only herself, but even Brother Xiao Yan wouldn't be able to control her. She was afraid she'd cause a real upheaval.
Furthermore, thinking of the injustice Xiao Lin had endured during his decades of loneliness, she couldn't help but feel deeply guilty. After all, she hadn't anticipated the perils of the Great Thousand World back then. She'd originally planned to return immediately, but it had taken her years of battle. Only now had she finally secured a stable territory and could safely welcome Lin'er and the others.
Zi Yan, Xiao Xiao, and Lin'er... how are you doing... have they suffered any injustices these years...?
Although Xiao Xun'er sensed them through her bloodline the moment she entered the Dou Qi Continent, her tone still held a hint of trepidation and guilt.
Xiao Xiao recently reached Quasi-Emperor status, but unfortunately, he's stuck with his Source Qi. He's currently traveling overseas. As for Xiao Lin, you sealed his cultivation and he's starting over. He's changed his name and entered Canaan Academy. He's just broken through to the Dou Ling realm and keeps clamoring to replicate his father's rise to prominence. He should be vying for the top spot on the Inner Court rankings right now!
That's good, that's good!
Xiao Xun'er finally put her mind at ease and shifted the conversation to the issue of the Dou Qi's origin mutation and the lack of Source Qi.
Undoubtedly, the reason the Dou Qi Continent's predecessors sealed off the world was because of the demonic world within the mysterious space above the continent. Now that that world has been destroyed by the self-detonation of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe, restoring the source energy, or spiritual energy, simply requires restoring the connection between the Dou Qi Continent and the outside world. However, the fact that Dou Qi's origin has been altered is worthy of further study...
Xiao Xun'er condensed a strand of Dou Qi between heaven and earth at her fingertips and examined it carefully. Then, her brow furrowed, she hesitated and asked, "Is this, demonic energy?"
Cai Lin was also startled by the words. She also condensed a strand of Dou Qi, sensing the strange aura mingled within it. Drawing on her experience battling the demonic race from outside the realm, she confirmed, "Yes, this is the demonic energy of the demonic race from outside the realm!"
Demonic energy?
Zi Yan was somewhat bewildered.
The extraterritorial evils are the mortal enemies of the billions of beings in the Great Thousand World, and they are also the natural enemies of the beings of the Dou Qi Continent. These extraterritorial evils possess the ability to pollute spiritual energy and are known as "plane destroyers." The Dou Qi Continent is one of the planes affiliated with the Great Thousand World. The contamination of Dou Qi is a sign that the entire plane is about to be demonized!
This!!!
Zi Yan's mouth dropped open. She had never imagined such a terrifying and bizarre enemy existed beyond the heavens.
However, a plane like the Dou Qi Continent wouldn't attract overly powerful extraterritorial evils. In fact, they would only harm innocent people. With Sister Cai Lin and I, we are more than capable of handling them.
Thinking of the demonic dimension hovering above the Dou Qi Continent, Xiao Xun'er roughly arrived at the answer and was certain.
However, please keep this matter confidential, Sister Zi Yan. We do not wish to interfere too much in the disputes on the Dou Qi Continent. After dealing with the hidden dangers of the extraterritorial evil clan, we will allow Xiao Xiao and Lin'er to quickly break through to the Dou Emperor realm and take them away on their own. The stable spatial channel left behind will be handed over to you, Sister. Those who reach the Dou Emperor realm in the future, if their character is not a problem, can also use it to teleport to the Endless Fire Region of the Great Thousand World, thus promoting the prosperity of our Dou Qi lineage in the Great Thousand World.
Only Dou Emperors can pass through... right?
Without Dou Di-level Dou Qi and a physical body, it's impossible to resist the tearing of the spatial channel. Even Brother Xiao Yan couldn't do anything...
Zi Yan fell silent. She knew the cruelty of this situation and understood why the two women were unwilling to disclose it to the public, choosing instead to quietly leave with their child. It wasn't that they didn't want to bring more people with them, but they couldn't…
... The disparity in talent ultimately meant they could only slowly age and die on the cage-like Dou Qi Continent, denied the chance to explore the wider world and live longer.
Perhaps Xiao Yan didn't come down in person because he couldn't bear to face such a cruel decision.
Zi Yan's departure was somewhat desolate and forlorn. As the Dragon Emperor of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, she couldn't easily abandon everything here and leave. The two women at the table had long empathized with that powerlessness and sadness. They too had families, friends, and clans. Yet, after wandering for so long, even with their Heavenly Supreme powers, they could only sigh.
