Chapter 25 - Master, it's full, it's full! No more!
Chapter 25
Master, it’s full, it’s full! No more!
After devouring Su Sheng, the swarm of insects surged towards the trembling Chaos Bull Demon and the other two.
“M-Master! Y-Your little things are coming this way!”
The three Demon Kings cried out, huddling together in fear.
They weren’t sure they could even withstand these insects.
Ning Yechen beckoned, and the insects, just as they were about to reach the three Demon Kings, immediately turned around and returned to Ning Yechen’s feet, burrowing back into his shadow.
These were Soul-Devouring Insects from the Demon Realm, capable of devouring anything, but their favorite food was objects containing spiritual energy.
Anything with spiritual energy would be consumed completely!
And the most terrifying thing was that these Soul-Devouring Insects, when they first hatched, only had the strength of the Spirit Communication Realm, but they could increase their cultivation by constantly devouring!
This batch of Ning Yechen’s Soul-Devouring Insects had even consumed the remains of several Heavenly Emperors, and now each one’s cultivation was higher than that of the Chaos Bull Demon and the others!
If he hadn’t recalled them, in just a moment, the three Demon Kings would have been devoured completely.
Seeing the insects retreat, the three Demon Kings breathed a collective sigh of relief.
They had thought that their Master was going to take this opportunity to eliminate them as well…
Ning Yechen had deliberately let the Soul-Devouring Insects approach them to frighten them and make them more obedient.
“I have a task for you,” Ning Yechen said, walking towards them and looking down at them with an indifferent expression.
“Master, please give us your orders. We are willing to serve you!”
The Sky-Swallowing Python said with a respectful bow.
The Chaos Bull Demon and the Titan Giant Ape also chimed in and kowtowed.
Ning Yechen was very satisfied with their obedient behavior. He raised his hand towards them, and a black spiritual energy enveloped their bodies, lifting them into the air.
“M-Master…?”
The Sky-Swallowing Python asked in confusion.
In the next second, a vast and boundless spiritual energy surged into their bodies, giving them no time to react.
The terrifying spiritual energy poured into their meridians, filling their spirit seas. The bottleneck that had held them back for over a hundred years was now slowly being pushed open!
“Ahh ohh~ M-Master…”
“Master, it’s full, it’s full! No more!”
“Ah! I, I can’t take it anymore!”
The spiritual energy flooded their meridians, causing them to expand and bulge, feeling as if they were about to burst.
The Sky-Swallowing Python and the others were in both agony and ecstasy from the influx of spiritual energy, a mixture of pain and pleasure…
“If you want to break through, endure it.”
Ning Yechen frowned slightly, hearing the Sky-Swallowing Python’s cries.
Why did it sound so strange…?
Hearing his words, the Sky-Swallowing Python and the others gritted their teeth and endured.
This was a once-in-a-millennium opportunity!
The Master was using his spiritual power to forcefully help them break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm!
“Raaaaargh!”
With three resounding roars that echoed through the sky, the Sky-Swallowing Python and the others unleashed their surging spiritual power. An immense aura bloomed from within them, their bodies radiating a shimmering, star-like brilliance!
This meant they had successfully broken through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm!
If Ning Yechen hadn’t used a barrier to shield the cave and isolate it from the laws of the world, their breakthrough would have surely attracted a powerful Heavenly Tribulation.
It wasn’t that he was afraid of the tribulation, but the commotion would attract the attention of Luo Ruying and others in the world.
Most importantly, his wife and child were sleeping!
What if the thunder woke them up?!
Having successfully broken through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, the Sky-Swallowing Python and the others basked in the cleansing power of the spiritual energy, expressions of comfort and contentment on their faces.
After they landed back on the ground, the Chaos Bull Demon opened his eyes, a flash of spiritual light in them. He felt an immense power surging through his body!
At this moment, he felt invincible!
Until Ning Yechen’s voice rang out beside them…
“Feeling invincible now?”
“Yes!”
The Chaos Bull Demon blurted out instinctively. But then, his face turned deathly pale as he realized what he had said. He frantically shook his head like a rattle drum.
“No, no, no… How could I compare to you, Master!”
Even after breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, he still felt he wouldn’t last half a second against Ning Yechen.
“We owe our achievements today to Master’s generous bestowal of this opportunity!”
The Sky-Swallowing Python and the Titan Giant Ape quickly added.
Their hearts were filled with joy and gratitude.
They hadn’t expected to receive such a great opportunity from this Master!
If they had to rely on themselves to break through, who knows how long it would have taken!
Yet, their Master had used his spiritual power to forcefully help them break through in just a moment!
His strength was far beyond their imagination!
They felt both fear and reverence towards Ning Yechen.
Ning Yechen waved his hand, and three heavenly artifacts appeared before the Chaos Bull Demon and the others.
A crimson battle axe, a pair of gem-like gauntlets that shimmered brilliantly, and a curved snake-like sword.
“Master… this…?”
The three Demon Kings stared at the heavenly artifacts, their eyes filled with longing, practically with the word “want” written on their faces.
These were rare and precious heavenly artifacts!
Judging by the brilliant heavenly light emanating from them, they were definitely of high quality!
They had roamed the Demon Realm Forest for hundreds of years and had never even seen a heavenly artifact before!
Ning Yechen looked at them and said calmly:
“The task I’m entrusting to you is to ensure the safety of my wife and child while I’m away.”
“Your cultivation was too weak, so I helped you break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and I’m also gifting you these three heavenly artifacts.”
By helping the Chaos Bull Demon and the others break through and gifting them heavenly artifacts to increase their strength, Ning Yechen was essentially taking them as his subordinates.
He could utilize them when necessary.
If their strength was too low, they wouldn’t be of much use.
However, even after helping them break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, their strength was still far inferior to his former subordinates.
The Chaos Bull Demon and the others couldn’t believe their ears.
Their Master was just casually giving them heavenly artifacts?!
After their initial shock, they were overjoyed and quickly kowtowed, pledging their loyalty.
“Thank you for the gifts, Master!”
“We are willing to give our lives to serve you and protect your wife and the little princess!”
The Chaos Bull Demon even puffed out his chest, pounded his fist against it, and declared:
“From now on, Master’s wife and child are my wife and child!”
“…Hmm?”
Ning Yechen felt something was amiss with that statement. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the Chaos Bull Demon.
The Chaos Bull Demon also realized he might have misspoken and quickly explained:
“No, no, no… What I meant was, I will treat Master’s wife and child as my own wife and child!”
“Uh… that doesn’t seem quite right either…?”
Ning Yechen walked towards the Chaos Bull Demon with a smile on his face.
Then, with a loud “Bang!”, he punched him on the head, sending half his body deep into the ground…
Although he knew the foolish bull probably didn’t mean it that way, he still couldn’t help but give him a punch.
The Sky-Swallowing Python and the Titan Giant Ape glanced at the unconscious Chaos Bull Demon, who was now embedded in the ground, with pity.
Indeed, even after reaching the Heavenly Immortal Realm, they were still so vulnerable before their Master…
