I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 1223 - 463: Empress: I’m Not Speaking to You Anymore! Breaking the Grand Formation, Absorbing Origin!

?

Yu Youhan looked at the ten-foot-tall, fair-skinned, beautiful woman, her mind filled with question marks.

Calculating with her fingers, it’s only been two or three days since Chen Mo entered this secret realm. How many women has he managed to attract?

An Mengni and Sikong Zuiyue are not mentioned, given that one is Yu Hongyin’s cousin, and the other is the Princess’s friend. They can be somewhat related... But where did this giantess spring from?

"This aura isn’t human nor demon; it seems to be the essence of innate earth element. I didn’t expect your tastes to become increasingly unique, not even sparing the alien race?" Yu Youhan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Chen Mo smelled that strong sourness and hurriedly explained, "Empress, you’ve got it wrong. I’ve only just met the Female Demon not long ago..."

"Really? You just met, and she’s risking her life to save you?" Yu Youhan said coldly, "Chen Mo, do you take me for a fool?"

From the tone and demeanor of the Female Demon, it was obvious. Their relationship seemed incredibly close, like long-time friends.

She absolutely didn’t believe there wasn’t something fishy going on.

"..."

At this point, Chen Mo was at a loss for words.

Come on, just look at their size—it doesn’t match at all.

Ever seen a pony pulling a big carriage, let alone a pony pulling a train?

"It’s a long story. Once we leave, I’ll explain it properly to the Empress."

"You’d better make it clear, otherwise I..." Yu Youhan wanted to threaten him, but knowing her constraints with the red silk, she couldn’t do anything, and after a pause, uttered, "I won’t be nice to you!"

Having said that, she hid deep within the Sea of Consciousness, refusing to show up.

Chen Mo was busy solving the array and didn’t say much more.

Now, having found the array foundation and with the addition of three array guides, the deduction became smooth.

However, as he dismantled it step by step, Chen Mo increasingly felt something was amiss—

Has this array been modified a second time?

Originally based on the Dragon Clan’s spell, it mobilized the power of heaven and earth, achieving rebirth during the inversion of yin and yang.

It should have ended there, but the subsequent parts differed greatly, turning to reincarnation and cause and effect origin power, crafting a brand new Taoist Body. Moreover, it contained numerous traces of the human race’s formation path...

"If all this were Wu Lie’s handiwork, how did he manage it?"

"Clearly, with severe illness, unable to leave the Imperial Palace, how could he set the array in this secret realm? And the World Gate opened less than three days ago, there simply isn’t enough time..."

In the midst of the void, Chen Mo seemed to grasp something, yet upon careful thought, numerous perplexities arose.

"No matter what, let’s first find a way to get out of here."

He activated his Divine Sense, fully focusing on unraveling it.

On another side, everyone’s pressure increasingly intensified.

Seeming to sense the change, the array plate’s power continued to amplify, as if it intended to grind them to dust.

For everyone, it was like contending with the whole heaven and earth, especially with the incorporation of the Origin Power from three Ancient Emperors.

Soon, Zhu Huai, Jiang Zhiyun, and Sikong Zuiyue’s powers were exhausted one after another, temporarily stepping back, swallowing alchemy pills and sitting cross-legged, striving to restore their Dao Power, leaving only the Female Demon struggling to hold on.

Below, desolate soil rose with yellow rays, continuously merging into her body.

The already gigantic form further ballooned, becoming like a mountain, forcibly supporting the colossal array plate.

Soil, having its nutrients drained, dried up and cracked, while the desertification swiftly expanded.

As the essence of the thick earth, she instinctively drew energy from the land, forming this habit. Even without intent, the surrounding environment would suffer, which is why she dared not leave that expanse of desert easily.

Yet now, to save others, she couldn’t worry about that.

Rumble—

Roaring echoes reverberated in the void.

The array plate continued to press down, with layer upon layer of energy, seemingly limitless!

Under the crush of Origin Power, even with the support of the earth veins, the Female Demon found it hard to resist. Her legs trembled incessantly, fine black cracks spreading over her entire body, akin to a shattered statue.

Crack—

Alongside a crisp sound, her wrists snapped.

Her spine bent at an exaggerated angle, knees shattered under the pressure, preventing her from standing, she fell to the ground, her lower body sinking deep into the soil, yet still silently bore the array plate on her shoulder, buying Chen Mo precious time to comprehend the array.

Watching the awe-inspiring scene of bearing sun and moon on her shoulders, everyone remained silent for a long time.

Unexpectedly, in this critical moment of life and death, the one who saved them was the "Great Demon" recorded in the texts...

"The elder is regaining strength, we need to step up!"

"Form the array, Gathering Spirit, buy Mr. Chen time!"

Ling Ningzhi and Zi Lianji led the charge, others quickly followed suit.

Everyone’s Primordial Qi converged, repeatedly striking the array plate. Though this strength was akin to a drop in the ocean, even relieving the Female Demon of a shred of pressure was beneficial.

Persist for an extra breath, yield an extra chance!

Yet reality was cruel, within merely half a stick of incense, the Female Demon’s body was pushed to the brink.

Her ivory spine pierced through her flesh, protruding from her back, bones snapping in inches, her frame compressed and folded, nearly unrecognizable, drenched in blood dyeing her green attire dark red, pooling and flowing beneath her.

The array plate now hovered less than ten feet from the ground, its oppressive aura stifling breath.

Everyone’s faces paled, an undeniable wave of despair creeping into their hearts.
