Chapter 306 - I Advise You, It's Best Not To~

In the depths of the Extreme Cold Land.

The snow was piled as high as walls, enough to completely submerge a person, and the roar of the raging storm echoed ceaselessly in their ears.

After waking up, Ning Yechen held Luo Ruying, who was draped in the Fire Pelt Rat pelt, and arrived at the center of the Extreme Cold Land's depths.

Before them was a hurricane that towered between heaven and earth, spinning and raging, blocking their path.

The savage hurricane looked as if it were about to tear this part of the world apart!

The terrifying might of this hurricane alone was enough to make many shrink back in fear!

To reach the very deepest part of the Extreme Cold Land, one had to cross this storm.

At this moment, the calling in Luo Ruying’s mind was even stronger, and the guiding force from the broken sword fragment in her hand was also growing more intense.

If she were to let go, the fragment would immediately fly off on its own.

Ning Yechen turned his head to look at Luo Ruying, whom he held tightly in his embrace. Luo Ruying also looked back at him and gave him a solemn nod.

Ning Yechen took a leap, holding Luo Ruying as he plunged headfirst into the raging storm.

Within the storm, which was sharp enough to easily tear a person to shreds, Ning Yechen passed through, completely unaffected.

Luo Ruying, held tightly in his embrace, had her vision completely obscured by the raging blizzard, and could barely open her eyes.

Luo Hongye, held in Luo Ruying’s arms, had her face turned into her mother's embrace, her petite body curled up, her eyes tightly closed.

Seeing this, Ning Yechen’s body was immediately enveloped in a black sphere, which wrapped around all of them.

In an instant, the raging blizzard and severe cold outside were completely isolated.

Luo Ruying’s beautiful eyes looked with great surprise at this magical, pitch-black, shadow-like object.

She reached out and touched the shadow. Her hand easily passed right through it and disappeared from sight.

This shadow curtain looked very similar to Shadow, but it also seemed to be different.

Her hand was not passing through to the outside, but had entered another space…

She had seen it many times before; the Spirit-Devouring Bugs that surged from the shadow at Ning Yechen’s feet seemed to come from here…

"My wife, are you very interested in your husband's 'Umbral Night Court'?"

Ning Yechen asked with amusement, watching Luo Ruying’s hand repeatedly extend into the shadow and then pull back, as if testing it.

"Umbral Night Court…?" Luo Ruying turned her head and asked curiously.

"This is a name I gave it myself~"

"It is also the ability I awakened as a member of the demon clan." Ning Yechen explained confidently with a faint smile.

As everyone knew, the fighting style of the demon clan was completely different from that of traditional cultivators.

Ordinary cultivators relied on their own spiritual energy as a foundation, supplemented by magical treasures, formations, and celestial arts.

But the demon clan, from birth, would inherit the innate abilities of their clan, such as Shadow of the Shadow Clan and Anyi Xieye of the Dark Progeny clan.

They didn't even need to additionally cultivate any other celestial arts or magical treasures; from childhood, they possessed the ability to control shadows and blood.

All they had to do was, while raising their cultivation, develop their own abilities to the extreme.

There were also other clans that would rely on grafting the limbs of other demonic beasts or other people to enhance their own abilities.

Luo Ruying had already seen this kind of person in the Demon Realm.

The last type was the rarest and most unique of the demon clan.

They are born with the ability to awaken some extraordinary and transcendent abilities.

For example, Yue Qingyou, known as the Word-Spirit God of Death, and Ning Yechen…!

Luo Ruying had long heard of this awakening ability of the demon clan, but this was the first time she had observed it from such a close distance, and she was greatly amazed.

She was filled with curiosity about Ning Yechen’s ability and wanted to understand even more about him.

"Husband, what kind of ability is this Umbral Night Court of yours?"

Ning Yechen smiled faintly. With a single thought, the shadow beside Luo Ruying suddenly began to surge like a wave, and a face emerged from it.

Luo Ruying was startled and subconsciously pulled back her hand.

Realizing that Ning Yechen was deliberately teasing her again, she furrowed her beautiful brows and glared at him.

"Husband…!"

"Hahaha, don't be angry, my wife."

"I was just demonstrating for you."

"As you can see, wife, Umbral Night Court can also, like Shadow, transform into any shape, but it just can't mimic things like Shadow can."

"Furthermore, any being 'tamed' by me will remain within this Umbral Night Court." Ning Yechen explained with an apologetic smile.

As he spoke, a large number of Spirit-Devouring Bugs and various divine weapons and sharp artifacts that he had once devoured surged to the surface of the shadow!

What Ning Yechen said was very simple, but in fact, there was more to it.

This Umbral Night Court of his could also be called an inner world or a dark world.

It could pull all living beings into it and make them his own!

All living beings pulled into the Umbral Night Court would have their spiritual energy and cultivation completely added to his own!

In addition, even the dead, as long as they were pulled into the Umbral Night Court, would be transformed into puppets at his command!

And they would retain the cultivation and instincts they had in life!

"So powerful…"

"Can I reach in and take a look?"

Luo Ruying, hearing this, became even more curious and asked, pointing at the shadow beside her.

She was suddenly very curious what the space inside this shadow looked like…

"My wife, I advise you, it's best not to~"

"This Umbral Night Court 'eats people,' you know. It's very dangerous."

Ning Yechen admonished her meaningfully.

Although this Umbral Night Court's ability was very powerful, it was also simultaneously very terrifying…!

Whether it was the Demon Gods he had devoured inside, or any other living creature, or even the Umbral Night Court itself, they were all thinking of devouring him at any moment!

Hearing that it would be very dangerous, Luo Ruying obediently dismissed the idea of poking her head in to investigate.

"Hmm...?"

"Since this shadow can block the outside, why didn't you use this ability last night, Husband?"

Luo Ruying suddenly realized something. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at Ning Yechen and demanded.

Only after being in the warm embrace of this Umbral Night Court did she realize with a delayed reaction that it completely blocked the bone-piercing cold from outside; it wasn't cold at all.

Last night in the cave, why didn't this fellow use this shadow to wrap the cave…!

He must have deliberately let her feel cold so she would proactively burrow into his embrace…!

Seeing his deed was exposed, Ning Yechen’s expression was evasive, and he hurriedly changed the subject:

"Wife, we've already passed through the storm..."

"Husband, answer me~~"

"Don't change the subject!"

Luo Ruying drew close to Ning Yechen’s face and demanded in a charming voice.

Ning Yechen averted his head, avoiding Luo Ruying’s gaze, and after a moment's hesitation, he slowly explained:

"My dear, actually, this ability cannot be used frequently..."

"Really...?"

Luo Ruying gazed at Ning Yechen, asking with a guilty expression.

If that were really the case, then she had truly wronged him.

Ning Yechen turned his head, gazed at Luo Ruying with deep affection, and said:

"Of course it's... fake!"

"Hahaha, my wife, you didn't actually believe it, did you~" After speaking, Ning Yechen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

My wife is so naive, so cute.

"Husband...!"

Luo Ruying was both shy and angry. Gritting her silver teeth, she pounced on Ning Yechen.

Despicable fellow, tricking her again...!

Amidst their playful fighting, the two also successfully passed through the storm.

"My wife, stop biting, we've arrived…”
