Thus, although the patriarch of the demon race had emerged victorious, no one still believed Great Qin had much hope.

Yet before the Purple Sovereign could even smile, that violet astral force began gathering once more, surging toward them like a tsunami.

Though she was merely an avatar, she already possessed the divine might of an unrivaled Imperial Lord. Her divine soul pierced the void, seeing through layer upon layer of endless space, yet she still could not find the Star Soul Palace.

Hou Junji stood with righteous dignity, his strength formidable. His hands were clasped behind his back, his palms drenched in sweat.

“It is all thanks to them.” Kasyapa pointed toward the Purple Sovereign.

The First Prince hurriedly looked at the four people beside the Purple Sovereign, only to feel a frigid gaze pierce straight into the depths of his heart.

Inside the Meng family’s old residence, every building was fashioned in an ancient style. The ground was paved entirely with bluestone, while stone bridges crossed flowing streams and covered walkways surrounded graceful pavilions. Everywhere exuded a rich, archaic charm.

With a shake of his twin wings, Zou Lang slipped straight through the window.

Li Xiaofei crooked his mouth and snorted before continuing with the arduous task of presiding over the distribution of their spoils.

To her, everything her prince did was right. Yet, kindhearted as she was, she still could not bear to watch anyone suffer so terribly.

After fooling around with the girl for a while longer, Lin Jie emerged from the soul space. Glancing at the clock above his head, he realized that it was already noon.

He Fei was just about to call Duan Guanghui and make him explain everything in detail when he heard Chu Huifang knocking on the door. He quickly opened the drawer and put away the documents on the desk. A moment later, Chu Huifang pushed open the door and entered with Lin Yi.

After Xie Yeyu pressed YES, the screen suddenly turned completely black, as though the machine had abruptly shut down.

That day, the two returned with a full haul. Looking at the more than three hundred Demon Chickens already piled across the ground, they were deeply reluctant to part with them. Why couldn’t the item bar hold a few more things?

Su Han did not answer Chen Zhicheng. Instead, she fixed her gaze on Yi Tongtong.

After hearing Chen Zhicheng’s words, Gao Ming also studied Yi Tongtong with astonishment written across his face.

Luo Lie knew she was not lying. He too had suffered severe injuries in that great battle, and his condition had deteriorated far from the state he had enjoyed at his peak. Still, Luo Lie believed his losses were nowhere near as catastrophic as Long Yu’s.

After returning to the Steel Fortress, Stephen busied himself with the arrangements that followed, seemingly entirely unaffected by everything that had just happened. The high-ranking angel Sha’er, however, wore a puzzled expression and hurried back to Yalandir to search through the records.

A mortal body of flesh and blood could not contain such a vast surge of energy. For Stephen, completely converting his body into energy was therefore unavoidable.

The person hiding in the shadows knew he had been discovered. Seeing Jiang Han charging toward him, he refused to sit still and wait for death, turning at once to flee.

They gradually melted within the flames, seeping into them bit by bit until they became luminous, silver-blue liquid.

At that moment, however, the pain in her lower body intensified. At first there had only been traces of blood, but in the end she felt a powerful pulling sensation. Dong Ru cried out in agony, unable to stop herself from arching and tensing her body. Her grip on Wei Qilang’s hand tightened until her knuckles nearly cracked.

When I awoke early the next morning, Shen Yi was nowhere to be seen. Yinghan entered carrying a basin of water and told me that Shen Yi had left before dawn. I had been sleeping soundly, so he had not awakened me.

Behind us, arrows continued to rain down without pause. Some lodged in the tree trunks, while several more archers were struck. The group’s pace slowed even further.

The Madman’s eyes turned scarlet as he swept his gaze over the surrounding soldiers. Wherever his eyes fell, the soldiers’ hearts spasmed. Even Su Chenyang, who stood beside him, was somewhat shaken. That imposing aura alone revealed the majesty of royalty.

Wood overcomes earth, earth overcomes water, water overcomes fire, fire overcomes metal, and metal overcomes wood. Among the powers of the Five Elements, wood happened to restrain earth. Without some special technique, it was impossible to unleash even the slightest bit of power.

Luo Lang comforted him. “His Majesty bears the Fire Seal. These things cannot harm him. We are the ones in the greatest danger. This way!”

As he spoke, he pointed ahead.

Wang Nuo was left speechless. In truth, it was simply a difference in their styles of doing things. Li Zhaofeng and Lu Haijia would rather pay a higher price than have any contact whatsoever with someone like Li Ruibo.

“Yehua, what are you doing?”

His weakened body collapsed helplessly onto the ground. The wound in his right shoulder, reopened by the tremendous impact, spread fresh layers of blood across his clothes. His extraordinarily handsome face was as pale as paper, utterly drained of color, while fine beads of sweat covered his brow. His long, thick lashes trembled ceaselessly, enough to make anyone’s heart ache.

Strategy analysts in the industry generally study national policies, shifts in the international situation, and other fundamental variables before deducing the direction of financial markets. In other words, they work in fundamental analysis.

By then, the corpses erupting from the Blue Sea Abyss had long since been divided among the various races. Even so, quite a number of precious and highly valuable ores continued to spew forth from its depths.

After taking a bath, Chen Xuan changed into clean clothes, tossed a Grain-Repelling Pill into his mouth, and began replenishing the elemental energy he had lost.

“Aren’t you perfectly fine? If you were an evil spirit, you would have died long ago.”

After saying this, Xing Lin raised his right hand and began using the spiritual power within him to draw a Tranquility Mirror Seal in the air before Liao Chenchen.

The office door opened from both sides. Liu Jinfeng’s heart jolted, but fortunately, it was not Amei entering once again. Instead, Fatty Qi came hurrying in, visibly excited.

“No, it’s getting late. We booked an inn and need to return to town, otherwise the money will go to waste.”

Hua Futian smiled gratefully.

We had brought quite a lot of things this time, so I had specifically dragged the Fatty along to do the heavy lifting. The fellow kept teasing me, asking whether he had not simply become a third wheel. His words made He Tongtong’s cheeks burn as crimson clouds repeatedly rose across them, while I was left mortified beyond words.
