I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 1218 - 461: Empress, Let Me See Your Limits!

Chen Mo asked puzzled, "Empress, what’s wrong?"

"I feel a bit strange, like... like I want to..." Yu Youhan’s voice came sporadically and abruptly stopped, yet her trembling soul power could still be felt.

Seeing this, Chen Mo roughly guessed what was happening.

It seemed that due to the advancement of the event, the effect of the red ling had further intensified.

Their primordial spirits were more tightly connected, with clarity in perception that they now shared their divine souls, equivalent to the red ling always being in a triggered state. Thus, if his mind was slightly stirred, the Empress would instantly react.

Additionally, it acted directly on the mind without needing the body, equivalent to each wave being true damage...

Seeing the Empress like this, it seemed she wouldn’t recover anytime soon. After pondering slightly, Chen Mo said, "If that’s the case, I will take the lead from here. Empress, you oversee the battle, and if anything unexpected happens, you take over."

After a long pause, Yu Youhan’s weak voice came, "Okay... But don’t be too forceful, take it easy, I... I can’t handle it..."

Chen Mo: "..."

...

...

"Kill!"

"I’m exhausted, someone come up and replace me!"

"Solid Essence Pill, is there any Solid Essence Pill left?"

"Junior sister, be careful!"

In the scorched earth, everyone was still fighting the living corpses.

Their own primordial qi had long been depleted, and the alchemy pills were gradually running out, the replenishment far behind the consumption speed.

In the end, they could only fight physically, everyone was seeing red, even the female cultivators from Tianshu Pavilion had put on talismans to increase their strength, brandishing magic artifacts as they engaged in close combat with the corpse tide.

"Roar——"

At this moment, a striped fierce tiger broke through the encirclement and rushed towards Yu Hongyin.

Yu Hongyin had just pinched her spell but found her meridians empty, unable to use magic.

In panic wanting to evade, she thought that behind her was Chen Mo, if she dodged, he would be the one injured...

Thinking this, she bit her silver teeth and straightforwardly raised the magic artifact to block in front of Chen Mo.

"I have a vestment robe for protection anyway, it shouldn’t be fatal if it bites me, right?"

"But it would probably hurt, please don’t bite my face, what if it gets disfigured, I don’t want him to see my ugly appearance..."

The closer it was to life and death, the more uncontrollable the random thoughts became.

With the bloody wind rushing towards her, the tiger demon was already close, she shrank her neck and fearfully closed her eyes, but did not move her feet at all.

But the pain hadn’t arrived, instead, she heard a surprised voice beside her:

"Mr. Chen, you’re awake?!"

"Hmm?"

Yu Hongyin looked up only to see Chen Mo standing tall, a green light swirling between his fingertips.

And that tiger demon was frozen in mid-air, only a foot away from her, still maintaining its biting posture, then its body disintegrated like flowing sand, completely returning to nothingness.

"Why didn’t you dodge?" Chen Mo looked at her, frowning.

"I..." Yu Hongyin entangled her fingers, biting her lip, and softly said, "You’ve always taken care of me, I want to protect you once... although it might not be useful, I just want to do it..."

Chen Mo seemed stunned upon hearing this.

Thinking of her self-sacrificing demeanor just now, his expression showed complexity, after a moment of silence, he spoke, "Very useful."

"What did you say?" Yu Hongyin looked at him bewildered.

Chen Mo reached out, rubbed her forehead, and sent a strand of primordial qi, helping her sort out her chaotic meridians, smiling as he said, "I said, everything you did was indeed valuable. We really owe this one to Saintess Yu."

Looking at that handsome face, a blush spread from Yu Hongyin’s ears, gradually dyeing her cheeks, her heart seemed like a small beast bouncing all over, almost jumping out.

Having known each other for so long, through numerous life-and-death experiences, their relationship was still neither far nor close. It was Chen Mo’s first time initiating such intimacy.

Yu Hongyin’s little face was flushed red, her gaze fleeting as she dared not look at him, more shy than when she secretly played with Ink Treasure before.

Chen Mo did not think much further, turning his head to look around.

Seeing everyone that was covered in scales and bruises, his brow furrowed tightly.

Through the perception conveyed by the Empress, he was also aware of what had happened during his enlightenment; he hadn’t expected the Secret Realm to be this hazardous!

And no matter how it seemed, it looked as if someone had deliberately planned it, as if attracting them inside just for this moment...

Chen Mo raised his hand and waved, the blue qi flow emerged, forming a semi-spherical barrier, isolating the corpse tide outside.

The living corpses that touched the green light were reduced to dust, yet they continued fearlessly, continuously charging forward.

"Finally safe..."

Everyone’s spirit and bodies were severely exhausted, barely hanging on with sheer will.

Now relieved of pressure, their tense nerves unwound, they all fell to the ground, their chests rising and falling, breathing heavily.

"Lord..."

Ling Ningzhi’s figure swayed.

Chen Mo hurried forward to support her, concerned, "Zhi’er, are you alright?"

"Poor Tao has no issues." Ling Ningzhi’s complexion was pale, resembling golden paper, shook her head saying, "Just the consumption is a bit high, a rest will suffice, but Miss An, to save you, nearly got her arm bitten off by a fierce beast..."

Chen Mo had already noticed, An Mengni’s half body dyed in blood, her right arm dangling powerlessly, the injury appeared quite serious, yet she bit her teeth and made not a sound.

He immediately activated the Creation Golden Branch, its emerald-green glow rippling out, entering everyone’s body.
