Chapter 86: Cultivation Surge Third Layer Cave Heaven Realm

Time passed in quiet cultivation. Ye Wushang’s strength soared.

When he opened his eyes again, his realm had reached the Third Layer of the Cave Heaven Realm.

Thanks to the True Dragon essence in the Dragon Blood Pool, he hadn’t even exhausted its power. He sensed that it could push him all the way to the Starsea Realm Sealed King level.

Freshly ascended, Ye Wushang’s body radiated divine might. His aura was overwhelming as if he could crush the world with a glance.

The power surged within him, begging for release.

So, naturally he sought out his wives.

He became a master of time management, shuttling between Daxia’s royal capital and the Ye Clan, balancing cultivation and affection.

Eventually, while walking with Yue Rushuang, he awkwardly confessed his past with Mu Xiyao.

Yue Rushuang was surprised but not angry. She understood.

Dragon Lust Incense Powder? Even eunuchs wouldn’t hold back.

Ye Wushang had protected Mu Xiyao’s dignity. That was enough.

But when she heard how Mu Xiyao had chosen him even in desperation she rolled her eyes.

“My silly husband. You have so many wives and still don’t understand women?”

“She wasn’t avoiding you. She was waiting for you to come to her.”

“She said she’d rather die than be touched by anyone else but she chose you. What does that tell you?”

“And what did you do? Left with a celestial beauty. She must’ve been heartbroken.”

Ye Wushang was stunned.

Women’s hearts are truly unfathomable.

“What should I do? Go coax her now?”

Yue Rushuang sighed.

“It’s too late for coaxing. Go propose properly.”

Ye Wushang nodded.

“Yes, yes. Whatever my wife says.”

“Then let’s go together. I don’t want to mess it up.”

“Bring Ancestor Ye Zhen. With him, the elders of Cangyuan Ancient City won’t dare make trouble.”

“Good idea. I’ll invite him.”

He took Yue Rushuang’s hand.

“Thank you, my lady.”

He embraced her, intoxicated by her scent.

His hands wandered until she stopped him.

“Not now. I’m pregnant again.”

Ye Wushang blinked.

“Pregnant? When?”

Yue Rushuang rolled her eyes.

“You’re like a walking seed cannon. How would I know?”

“Also, you’ll have to abstain for a while. Go find Zixuan.”

Ye Wushang hesitated.

“You mean they’re pregnant too?”

“Yes. Mo Sijun, Zhao Qingge, and Sikong Mingyue all are expecting.”

Ye Wushang scratched his head, speechless.

“Alright. I’ll prepare the proposal. You handle the dowry. I’ll ask Ye Zhen.”

He visited Ye Zhen’s residence.

Upon hearing Ye Wushang planned to marry another peerless prodigy, Ye Zhen agreed instantly.

More children. More prodigies. More glory for the Ye Clan.

Ye Zhen even asked when the next wedding would be.

Ye Wushang was baffled Ye Zhen seemed more eager than he was.

Back home, he began planning with Yue Rushuang.

But he didn’t know that, at that very moment, Cangyuan Ancient City was facing a catastrophe.

In her residence, Mu Xiyao sat quietly, caressing her swollen belly.

Her thoughts were consumed by Ye Wushang.

He hasn’t come. He must’ve forgotten me.

Maybe he’s with that celestial beauty. Or one of his many wives.

She smiled gently at her unborn child.

You’ll arrive in half a month. But your father won’t be here.

Still, I’ll raise you well.

Suddenly, the city trembled.

A terrifying aura erupted, shaking the heavens.

Mu Xiyao stabilized herself, shielding her belly, and looked skyward.

Countless divine auras surged then a black hand, filled with demonic energy, descended.

BOOM~!

Top-tier experts were crushed. Blood sprayed. Some exploded on the spot.

These were peak Yin-Yang Realm cultivators, the city’s strongest.

Who could do this?

Then, the city’s center split open.

A massive black rift appeared.

A figure rose  cloaked in black, hair like blood, eyes filled with madness.

“Hahaha! A million years! I’ve waited a million years!”

“Chen Dudao, you’re finally dead. I, the Blood Night Monarch, am free!”

His aura exploded in the Peak God-Sealed Realm.

The crowd froze.

They remembered the legend.

Chen Dudao, the city’s founder, had built Cangyuan to seal a demon lord.

Now, the seal has broken.

The current city lord, a God-Sealed powerhouse stepped forward.

“Leave now! I’ll hold him off. Preserve our bloodline!”

He summoned his sword and charged.

A brilliant sword light slashed forth.

But the Blood Night Monarch caught it between two fingers.

“This is your strength? Like a child’s toy.”

He flicked his finger.

The city lord was blasted away, coughing blood.

“City Lord!”

The crowd panicked.

He rose again, bloodied but determined.

“Go! Run!”

Tears fell but they obeyed.

Figures soared, trying to escape.

The Blood Night Monarch sneered.

“Run? You’ll be my nourishment!”

He clenched his fist.

Space sealed. No escape.

His hand swept across the sky.

Starsea Realm, Yin-Yang Realm all exploded into blood mist.

Mu Xiyao stood frozen.

She looked at her belly, eyes full of sorrow.

I’m sorry, child. Mother failed you.
