Inside a hidden ancient cave on the Burial Emperor Star.
A slender figure in a black silk dress sat cross-legged within.
She wore a ghost face mask that seemed to be crying and laughing at the same time.
Her dark hair cascaded like a waterfall.
Her skin was morbidly pale.
Her slender limbs, like those of a fawn, were wrapped in bandages, presenting a morbid beauty.
She was as eerie as a bleeding black rose.
On her pale skin, only the scarlet Other Shore Flower tattooed on her collarbone bloomed with an exceptionally enchanting and eye-catching allure.
It was none other than Zhu Xian Thief, Xuanyue.
Of the entire Thirteen Bandits, only she remained.
But Xuanyue felt nothing, not the slightest sorrow over the demise of the other twelve bandits.
In fact, the pain Xuanyue felt from the fall of the twelve bandits couldn't compare to the murderous gaze in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes when he looked at her.
That familiar face from her memory, striking at her to protect another woman.
That cold killing intent caused Xuanyue's already dead heart to suddenly feel a searing pain.
"He's just a similar flower, nothing more…" Xuanyue murmured to herself.
She held a crystal in her slender jade hand, from which a mature, charming female voice spoke.
"When the God Ruins World opens later, if the mission is almost complete, you can return to our world."
"Additionally, for the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain, a list of noteworthy Prodigies needs to be compiled."
"At that time, those Immortal Domain Prodigies will be the prey of our world's Prodigies."
Xuanyue listened in silence.
"Prey?" Xuanyue murmured.
Given Jun Xiaoyao's status, position, and unfathomably terrifying strength.
If discovered by the alien race, he would definitely be a key target, possibly even drawing the encirclement of young kings and leading figures from the alien race!
Because a person like Jun Xiaoyao, once he grows up, poses too great a threat to the alien race; he needs to be eradicated and nipped in the bud!
Xuanyue's jade hand clenched, her dead heart uncharacteristically stirred.
Did she want to see Jun Xiaoyao surrounded, his white robes stained with blood?
Xuanyue's gaze shifted.
Just then, Xuanyue seemed to sense something, and a strange thought flashed through her mind.
It was the energy of the emperor consecration seal.
"Seven Emperors gathered…" Xuanyue muttered to herself.
…
Meanwhile, outside the Dragon Slaying Cave, in the ancestral land of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.
A group of Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan Elders, including Long Yuan, were anxiously waiting.
Several months had passed, but Long Yao'er, who had entered the Dragon Slaying Cave, showed no signs of movement.
The longer the time dragged on, the smaller the chance of Long Yao'er surviving.
"Alas, I should have known not to let her rashly enter the Dragon Slaying Cave, it was reckless!" A Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan Elder stomped his foot, sighing deeply.
They had redeemed Long Yao'er at the cost of the Book of Life and the Spring of Life.
Now, if something were to happen to Long Yao'er.
Their Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan would not only lose a super powerhouse who might become an Emperor but also suffer the loss of a Heaven and Earth Supreme Treasure.
It was a huge loss.
"I, however, believe in Yao'er. Although she used to be playful and mischievous, she has grown after this battle between the Saint Body and the Overlord Body."
"Her inner unwillingness will become her motivation for Breakthrough." Long Yuan affirmed.
Just as Long Yuan's voice fell.
Within the entire Dragon Slaying Cave, an incredibly terrifying Bloodline pressure suddenly erupted.
The Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan Elders present were all powerhouses above the Supreme Realm.
Yet now, all the Elders felt a slight suffocation.
If their cultivation Realm weren't strong enough, they would have long since knelt on the ground.
This was not a Realm suppression, but a suppression originating from the Bloodline and Soul.
"The Golden Ancient Dragon Bloodline has Awakened…" A Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan Elder said with a trembling voice.
Boom!
Accompanied by a thunderous roar.
At the entrance of the Dragon Slaying Cave, purple Qi and blood surged out, rolling like a tide, spilling in all directions.
These Elders could barely withstand this pressure with their Realm.
But further away, some younger Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan beings, unable to resist, knelt on the ground, their faces showing unprecedented shock and fanaticism.
"It's Princess Yao'er! Princess Yao'er has come out of the Dragon Slaying Cave, successfully Awakening the Golden Ancient Dragon Bloodline!"
Many young Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan members roared and howled.
They had been suppressed for too long.
Now, the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, like the Overlord Body Ancestral Hall, had become a laughingstock.
They were even called the most miserable Dragon Clan in history.
Who could endure this?
Under the gaze of numerous Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan beings.
A graceful figure slowly stepped out of the Dragon Slaying Cave.
"Yao'er!" Long Yuan and the other Elders all had a hint of excitement in their eyes.
However, what surprised them even more was that.
With each step Long Yao'er took, her height visibly increased at an astonishing rate.
Her long purple hair, which had been tied into a bun at the back of her head, also fully cascaded down, like a purple waterfall.
Finally, when Long Yao'er completely stepped out of the Dragon Slaying Cave.
She had transformed from a petite and delicate little girl into a slender, gracefully curved, mature young woman.
Her purple hair flowed like a waterfall, her waist was slender, and her long legs were lustrous and radiant.
Her snow-white dress could not conceal her graceful figure.
Her originally delicate and adorable face had become stunningly beautiful and exquisitely flawless.
Her large, purple-glazed eyes had transformed into a pair of noble, purple-gold Phoenix eyes.
She looked like an incomparably noble, world-shaking Dragon Clan Empress!
All the beings of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan were stunned, their eyes filled with intense admiration.
"Yao… Yao'er…" Long Yuan's voice trembled, somewhat incredulous.
The mature young woman with a world-shaking beauty before him was quite different from the mischievous little girl in his memory.
"Grandpa Long Yuan, I succeeded." Long Yao'er's red lips curved into a smile.
Before, before her Bloodline Awakening, she could only be considered an infant form.
Now, with her Bloodline initially Awakened, she had truly entered the growth stage.
The current her could completely overpower her former self!
"Good, good, too good! Princess Yao'er has the potential to become an Emperor, and will definitely be the Empress of our Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan in the future!" A Dragon Clan Elder laughed heartily.
"With Princess Yao'er's current strength, if she were to face Jun Xiaoyao again, he probably wouldn't have an easy time!"
These Dragon Clan Elders were overjoyed, truly forgetting their pain once the wound healed.
"Jun Xiaoyao…"
Hearing those three words, the smile on Long Yao'er's lips faded.
"Grandpa Long Yuan, I have something to do, so I'm leaving first." Long Yao'er lightly tapped her jade feet in the Void Realm, preparing to depart.
"Wait, this is something the Overlord Body Ancestral Hall gave you." Long Yuan handed some ancient artifacts and condensed Overlord Body essence blood to Long Yao'er.
The ancient artifact was a blood-stained bronze spear.
It had been used by an ancestor of the Overlord Body Ancestral Hall.
It was said that that ancestor had once pierced a Saint Body with this bronze spear!
The blood stained on it was the blood of a Saint Body!
Long Yao'er took the bronze spear and the Overlord Body essence blood, lightly nodded her head, and with a tap of her bare, snow-white feet in the Void Realm, instantly vanished from the spot.
This was a unique spatial talent of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.
Long Yao'er, having Awakened the Golden Ancient Dragon Bloodline, could clearly perfectly utilize this talent.
Long Yuan saw this, opened his mouth, but said nothing.
Long Yao'er had grown up and no longer needed his care.
"Yao'er, don't be impulsive." Long Yuan sighed deeply.
He was truly afraid that Long Yao'er would provoke Jun Xiaoyao again.
Although Long Yao'er's current strength was not what it used to be.
How much strength did Jun Xiaoyao use when he dealt with her?
Zhu Xian Thief Xuanyue and Long Yao'er had both taken action.
Their destination was a certain desolate and uninhabited Ancient Starfield.
That was the gathering place of the Seven Emperors!
Thanks to fellow Daoist Xuanye for the generous reward.
