Chapter 1809: The Sovereign Descends! Xu Jingming, the Focus of All Eyes!
"My daughter knows." Lin Yin lowered her head slightly, her voice calm.
She naturally understood her mother's thoughts.
It was a pity that her mother did not know she had already become her master's form.
The heart-eating marks on her abdomen gave her absolute loyalty and love for Xu Jingming—what need was there for any other means?
Not only her, but the entire Phantom Demon Palace's upper echelons were the same.
As they spoke, two streams of light tore through the sky from afar and landed steadily ahead.
The light faded, revealing Xu Jingming's towering demonic form.
He stood four meters and six tall, his scales jet black.
Purple-red pupils flickered with Lei Guang, his aura vast as an abyss.
Beside him, Iliis stood elegantly.
Her dark red gown set off her skin, fairer than snow.
Her waist was so slender it could not be encircled by one hand, yet below it flared into full, rounded hips.
Most striking of all was her proud bosom.
The curve was heart-stopping, visually overwhelming, straining the front of her gown taut.
Her exquisite face was like frost-covered ice, her purple eyes clear, yet she naturally leaned against Xu Jingming's side.
Together they stood—one tall and majestic, the other bewitchingly exquisite.
One domineering and fierce, the other coldly alluring, yet they possessed a strange, harmonious fit.
Especially the natural charm emanating from Iliis due to her Succubus Sacred Body.
Even without deliberate effort, it spread like invisible ripples.
Causing many nearby immortal-stage demons to momentarily lose focus in their gaze.
"Phantom Demon Lord." Xu Jingming spoke first, his voice steady.
"Blood Abyss."
The Phantom Demon Sovereign nodded.
Yet his gaze involuntarily fell upon Iliis beside him, a flicker of hesitation crossing his purple eyes:
"Who is this......?"
"Iliis, my companion." Xu Jingming introduced openly.
"What?!"
The Phantom Demon Sovereign's pupils contracted slightly, shock appearing on his exquisite face.
He naturally knew of Iliis.
One of the most outstanding heavenly talents of this generation in the Blood Demon Palace.
Succubus Sacred Body, renowned across the major star domains!
Such a figure, actually taken by Blood Abyss?!
The Phantom Demon Sovereign glanced at Iliis.
He saw that this woman, ranked second on the points leaderboard and famed for her cold arrogance in the Blood Demon Palace, was now standing meekly beside Blood Abyss.
At this moment, she actually stood obediently at Blood Abyss's side.
Her exquisite face bore a faint smile, lacking any of her former aloofness and arrogance.
The Phantom Demon Sovereign unconsciously glanced at his own daughter, Lin Yin.
Lin Yin was indeed beautiful, cold and lovely, with an excellent figure.
But before Iliis,
that heart-stopping curve, that cold arrogance laced with allure, that natural charm inherent to the Succubus Sacred Body,
instantly made his daughter seem somewhat dimmed by comparison!
'Miscalculated.'
The Phantom Demon Sovereign sighed inwardly.
With Iliis in his grasp, how could Blood Abyss still look upon Lin Yin?
"Greetings, Phantom Demon Lord."
At this, Iliis performed a respectful salute, her purple eyes smiling.
She showed not a trace of the arrogance typical of Blood Demon Palace heavenly talents, instead appearing gentle and endearing.
The Phantom Demon Sovereign came to his senses, saying repeatedly:
"No need for excessive courtesy."
Yet his heart churned with waves.
This fellow Blood Abyss, not only terrifying in strength, but his taming methods were equally astonishing?
To make Iliis, a heavenly talent of the Blood Demon Palace, so obedient.
Meanwhile, Lin Yin beside them lowered her eyes, silent, yet secretly amused in her heart.
The master had even subdued the Spirit Pet Sovereign—capturing Iliis was nothing in comparison.
Mother's calculations, I fear, will come to naught.
"By the way......"
The Phantom Demon Sovereign was about to say more.
Boom!!!
Suddenly, an indescribable terrifying pressure descended abruptly!
The very space of the floating land seemed to solidify!
All demons, whether Eternal or Ruler stage, felt their entire bodies sink.
Instinctive awe and dread surged from the depths of their souls!
"World Venerable, it's the World Venerable my lord who has arrived!"
Ruler Black Wind cried out softly in alarm, his scarlet eyes filled with shock!
Ruler Illusion Demon, Xu Jingming, Elise, Lin Yin......
All demons on the floating land raised their heads in unison, gazing toward that patch of starry sky above their heads that had suddenly twisted!
The sky looked like a piece of cloth crumpled by an invisible giant hand.
Suddenly twisting and tearing!
Immediately after, five towering figures stepped out from the void cracks.
They did not deliberately release their auras.
But the pressure naturally emanating from them made the souls of all demons tremble!
"So this is a World Venerable?"
Lei Guang leaped wildly in Xu Jingming's violet-red pupils, his heart beating violently beyond his control.
As an Eternal peak.
He believed his strength sufficient to crush ordinary Rulers, even contend with Undying Rulers.
Yet at this moment, before these five figures.
He could not raise the slightest thought of resistance!
It was an absolute suppression on the level of life hierarchy!
Like an ant gazing up at a mountain, a mortal facing a god!
"Back then, Venerable Xiyue must have restrained her aura.
Otherwise, at that first meeting, the pressure could not have been that weak."
Xu Jingming guessed silently in his heart.
"Too terrifying......"
Apart from Xu Jingming.
On the floating land, the other Eternal-stage demons likewise changed expression slightly.
Their bodies trembling slightly beyond their control.
Even Undying Ruler-level powerhouses like Ruler Illusion Demon and Ruler Black Wind.
At this moment also wore Solemn expressions, bowing their heads respectfully.
"Ruler Ju Jiao, respectfully welcoming the arrival of the five World Venerable my lords!"
Ruler Ju Jiao's ten-meter-tall demon body soared into the sky.
Kneeling on one knee in midair, his voice full of awe.
"Ju Jiao?"
Among the five World Venerables, the leader was a burly male demon over fifteen meters tall, muscles knotted like mountain ranges.
He wore dark-gold armor, a spiral giant horn growing from his head.
His eyes scarlet as a sea of blood, speaking casually, his voice like Lei Ting rolling:
"How has the Abyss Demon Tide been handled?"
"Replying to my lord!"
Ruler Ju Jiao lowered his head even further:
"The demon tide has been completely dealt with!
At the current scale of Abyss demons, a large-scale demon tide cannot erupt again for at least a hundred thousand years!"
"Good!"
The burly World Venerable laughed heartily, his voice shaking the starry sky:
"Then let's begin rewarding merit!
Let me see what good seedlings have emerged from this demon tide!"
"Yes!"
Ruler Ju Jiao replied respectfully, then turned to look down upon the continent below.
His thunderous voice resounded through every corner:
"A year ago, I already said.
The grade and quantity of demons you hunt will determine your performance on the points ranking!
Now, according to the points ranking, we will conduct the final bestowal of rewards!"
He waved a large hand, and the golden light screen in the sky suddenly blazed with brilliant light!
"First, is first place——"
Ruler Ju Jiao's voice suddenly rose, carrying Sister Jiang:
"Gaining two million two hundred twenty thousand points, from the Illusion Demon Star Domain——Blood Abyss!"
Boom!
The moment the words fell, a dazzling Jin Guang shot skyward from the direction where Xu Jingming was!
His whole person was lifted by an invisible force.
Slowly rising into the high sky, arriving before the five World Venerables.
"Hiss! It really is Blood Abyss!"
"First place on the points ranking! This time he'll soar to the heavens!"
"To be favored by a Realm Venerable, my lord — one's future is at least an Undying Overlord!"
"Envious, why isn't it me?"
"Heh, you? You didn't even make the top thousand, who would want to look at you?"
"..."
On the floating land, countless demons looked up at that towering demonic body, their eyes full of envy.
"Realm Venerable!
These are our demon race's Realm Venerable powerhouses! And a full five of them!"
Within the sea of consciousness, the succubus little loli Weila danced with excitement:
"Master, you're really going to strike it rich this time!"
Xu Jingming appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was somewhat tense.
Although Teacher Frost Crown had said.
With the Thousand Illusion Ice Heart Pendant, even Realm Venerable-level powerhouses couldn't see through his human identity.
But when the moment truly came, facing five gazes as vast as universes.
He still subconsciously tensed his nerves.
However, his surface showed nothing; he saluted respectfully:
"This one is Blood Abyss, paying respects to the various Realm Venerables, my lords."
