Chapter 376

Long Ao's words spread throughout heaven and earth, shaking all eight directions.

Outside the Ancestral Dragon's Nest, countless primordial royal race beings drew in deep breaths.

No wonder he's the forbidden first-generation of the Ancestral Dragon's Nest—this kind of arrogance is truly immense.

Even if his opponent is the famed Jun Xiaoyao, Long Ao dares to say that anyone who provokes him will die.

Does this mean Long Ao has confidence he can kill Jun Xiaoyao?

"Interesting—the Divine Son of the Jun Clan and the first-generation of the Ancestral Dragon's Nest."

"One wields the Primordial Holy Body and the Supreme Bone."

"The other possesses Imperial Dragon blood and seven Dragon Cores."

"If these two meet, what kind of clash will occur—and who will prevail?"

The surrounding beings all pondered this in their hearts.

But since they were all primordial beings, they still hoped Long Ao would win.

"Before the Immortal Ancient World opens, I'm going to pay a visit to Princess Long Ji," Long Ao said.

"That's right—when the Immortal Ancient World opens, you two can support each other," chuckled an Elder of the Ancestral Dragon's Nest.

Previously, the Ancestral Dragon's Nest had foretold: "Two Dragons emerge, and the Ancestral Dragon shall rise."

The two dragons in the prophecy naturally referred to Long Ao and Princess Long Ji.

If they could unite with full cooperation, perhaps they truly might slay Jun Xiaoyao.

Yet at this moment, Long Ao harbored another thought in his heart.

"Princess Long Ji—by status, position, talent, and strength—she certainly qualifies as my woman, and even as my Empress."

As the destined protagonist, the child of fate, Long Ao's standards for women were naturally extremely high.

And he could never have just one woman.

His harem must be established; he must be a stud.

But for women easily within his grasp, Long Ao would only flirt, never granting them any formal status.

Princess Long Ji, with her high status and position, was more than worthy to be his Empress and assist him in his quest for kingship.

Afterward, Long Ao directly went to seek out Princess Long Ji.

The news of Long Ao's emergence from seclusion spread like wings, reaching every corner of the Immortal Realm.

This triggered a massive earthquake.

Just before the opening of the Immortal Ancient World, Long Ao emerged from seclusion—clearly intending to dominate all prodigies within the Immortal Ancient World and claim the top spot.

Among a mountain range wreathed in purple qi and radiant auspicious light stood a handsome young man with purple hair and purple robes.

"Long Ao has emerged from seclusion? Interesting—this time, our primordial royal race will overshadow the primordial ancient clans in the Immortal Ancient World."

The young man with purple hair murmured to himself; his skin was covered in fine purple scales, and two purple-gold qilin horns grew from his forehead.

He was none other than the top prodigy of the Qilin Ancient Cave—Qilin Zi.

Elsewhere, deep within the Ten Thousand Phoenix Spiritual Mountain, a crimson sun sank within its depths.

Upon closer inspection, a faint shadow with twin wings could be discerned.

"Long Ao has emerged from seclusion—this Immortal Ancient World will grow even more thrilling. But… will Jun Xiaoyao even come?"

The murmuring figure was none other than the Phoenix Zi of the Ten Thousand Phoenix Spiritual Mountain—Feng Tian Ge!

He feared no immortal heir or clan prodigy—except Jun Xiaoyao.

Meanwhile, within an ancient cave in a certain Daozhou:

A graceful figure broke free from her seal.

She was a woman clad in a pink gown, her face exquisitely alluring, with peach-blossom eyes that shimmered with seductive charm.

Her figure was equally superb, with a captivating curve.

Most striking of all, behind her hips grew six fluffy, soft fox tails.

This woman was none other than the Heavenly Fox Clan's Heavenly Maiden—Bai Meier.

The Heavenly Fox Clan was said to possess the bloodline of the ancient Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.

And the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was an ultimate primordial royal race, not residing in the Huang Tian Immortal Realm, but in other immortal realms.

Though the Heavenly Fox Clan was not a primordial royal race, it was a top-tier primordial royal clan, comparable to the Nine-Headed Lion Clan and the Jin Chixiaopeng Clan.

"Welcome, Heavenly Maiden, out of seclusion!"

Several Heavenly Fox Clan maids stepped forward respectfully.

"I can feel it—Brother Ao Tian's aura. He's emerged too."

Bai Meier's eyes sparkled with heart-shaped glimmers; she cupped her cheeks with delicate hands, her gaze filled with fervent worship and infatuation.

There was even a hint of yandere intensity.

The Heavenly Fox Clan maids were already accustomed to this sight.

After all, once Bai Meier had been trapped within a deadly array in a secret realm.

In her despair, Long Ao had appeared—like a destined prince descending from heaven—to rescue her.

His overwhelming strength, towering figure, and devilishly charming smile had utterly conquered Bai Meier.

From then on, Bai Meier had fallen madly in love with Long Ao.

But at that time, Bai Meier had been cultivating the Heavenly Fox Clan's unique technique, which required her to remain a virgin, so no intimate acts had occurred between them.

Now, her technique had reached its initial stage; she was finally free.

Her next step: find Long Ao.

"By the way, what else happened during my seclusion?" Bai Meier asked casually.

Her seclusion period had been nearly identical to Long Ao's.

Thus, she knew nothing of Jun Xiaoyao's affairs.

The Heavenly Fox Clan maids recounted all the events that had transpired.

"What? Brother Ao Tian's younger brother was killed by that Jun Clan Divine Son?" Bai Meier's face turned icy.

Long Ao's enemy was her enemy.

"You say that Jun Clan Divine Son surpasses Brother Ao Tian in appearance, talent, and strength? How is that possible? Brother Ao Tian is the perfect man."

Upon hearing these maids' evaluations of Jun Xiaoyao, Bai Meier remained noncommittal.

The Heavenly Fox Clan was a race that valued both looks and strength.

They admired the strong.

They adored handsome, strong men even more.

And Long Ao perfectly matched the Heavenly Fox Clan's aesthetic.

Coupled with the "hero saves the maiden" trope, Bai Meier had been hopelessly captivated.

As for Jun Xiaoyao, she knew nothing of him, cared nothing for him, and felt no interest whatsoever.

"Immortal exile," "peerless beauty"—it all sounded like exaggerated rumors.

How could anyone possibly be that handsome?

Bai Meier simply didn't believe it.

"When the Immortal Ancient World opens, I must assist Brother Ao Tian wholeheartedly," Bai Meier murmured, her eyes glazed with obsession, letting out a giggling laugh.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Long Ao arrived at a mountain range.

A golden dragon palace floated above the mountains, radiating majestic power.

Long Ao stepped directly inside.

Within the palace, a peerless graceful figure leaned languidly upon a dragon throne, as if she had long anticipated Long Ao's arrival.

The two dragons foretold by the Ancestral Dragon's Nest had finally met.

Long Ao's gaze fell upon her; even his golden pupils flickered with a trace of astonishment.

Though he had seen countless women, he could not help but marvel—this woman was so noble and beautiful.

Princess Long Ji wore an immortal palace gown, lounging lazily upon the golden dragon throne.

Her black hair cascaded like a waterfall, the gown spotless and untainted.

Her curves were full, her waist slender.

Her long, porcelain-smooth legs were crossed, her bare feet snowy white—like a work of art, pleasing to the eye.

At this moment, Princess Long Ji was no longer the disheveled figure from her battle with Jun Xiaoyao; she had regained her lofty, proud nobility.

Moreover, her aura had surged significantly, becoming unfathomably deep—far beyond what it had been before.

Yet her mind remained filled with the shadow of Jun Xiaoyao.

The humiliation of her defeat by Jun Xiaoyao was deeply carved into her heart.

Especially Jun Xiaoyao's words as he stepped on her chest: "You're only fit to be a mount"—that was an indelible shame for Princess Long Ji.

Upon seeing Princess Long Ji, Long Ao had already made up his mind.

Princess Long Ji would be his Empress.

Whether she wished it or not, Long Ao did not care.

The woman he desired had never eluded him.

Besides, he and Princess Long Ji were the perfect match.

If Long Ao learned that the woman he envisioned as his Empress was, in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes, only fit to be a mount beneath him—

What would Long Ao think then?
