"Go and die."
Ye Yinzhu was furious. The Demon Queen was clearly mocking him. She didn't take him seriously at all.
He flew up again. This time, he didn't use the Zither of Withered Wood Dragon Mantra. Instead, he held the Amethyst Starry Sword with both hands. Scorching Golden flames burned on the sword. Ye Yinzhu had ignited the flame of his life.
If an ordinary person ignited the flame of their life, their life energy would be depleted in a short time and they would die immediately. However, Ye Yinzhu's body was filled with life energy. He could use the flame of his life to fight.
At this moment, the Qin Di was gathering energy in the sky again. After figuring out what was going on, everyone on the Qin Di naturally saw her as their mortal enemy.
Just as Ye Yinzhu said, if the Demon Queen didn't die, how could the Abyss Plane be completely destroyed? The cooldown time of the advanced magic cannons and the Cannon of Nirvana was not up yet, but the intermediate magic cannons could be fired again.
The 300 intermediate magic cannons were quickly charged.
The Mother Monster Queen subconsciously raised her head to look at the Zither Monarch in the air, her eyes revealing a hint of vexation. "How annoying. This Zither Monarch is indeed the treasure and wisdom of the various races of Longqinus. To think that it could even injure me, who has reached the God realm. What a pity, that should be the only time. "
As she spoke, she slowly raised her hands beside her, just like the Black Demon Queen Serena did. Ye Yinzhu's judgment was right. Serena was the Demon Queen's most trusted subordinate. She was also left here to guard the Abyss Plane. The Demon Queen was born into the Witch Race. She didn't need to hide anything now. She naturally did the action she was most familiar with.
Two dazzling flames rose from the Demon Queen's palms. Different from Ye Yinzhu's Golden flames, the flames on her palms were milky white.
The Demon Queen circled her hands above her head. A milky-white ring of flames soared into the air, flying towards the Zither Emperor in the air.
Ye Yinzhu was horrified. He wanted to soar into the sky to help, but he realized that his soul aura had been completely locked on by the Demon Queen. Before he could soar into the sky, the Demon Queen had already appeared in front of him.
"Am I not your opponent?"
Ye Yinzhu's Flame of Life grew stronger again. The Golden Flame now had a tinge of white light, which surprised the Mother Demon Queen.
Putting her palms together, a pair of slender palms that were flickering with white flames once again clamped onto the Amethyst Starry Sword. The flames on the sword and the flames on her hands burned intensely at the same time.
"I didn't expect that. You're even closer to becoming a Demigod than Serena, who has absorbed so much Death Energy. It seemed that … Even without my help, as long as you continue to cultivate, you'll definitely become a God. "
The Amethyst Starry Sword seemed to be made of steel between the Mother Demon Queen's palms. No matter how hard Ye Yinzhu tried, it couldn't move an inch forward. The ring of milky white flames had already expanded into a ring of light, enveloping the Qin Di.
"Don't worry. The Qin Di's material is too good. Even I wouldn't be able to destroy it with a single strike. Moreover, there are so many of your family and friends in there. How can I bear to hurt you? "
The Mother Demon Queen looked at Ye Yinzhu with a smile.
It was obvious that she didn't treat this as a battle at all.
Ye Yinzhu's breathing had already started to quicken. Her eyes flashed, and her Flame of Life burned as much as possible, but it was still ineffective.
The white flames enveloped the Qin Di.
A terrifying scene happened. Indeed, as the Demon Queen had said, it was impossible for her to destroy the Zither Thearch. However, the terrifying god-level Fire of Life easily melted all the protruding parts of the Zither Thearch.
In other words, the 345 magic cannons, the most powerful offensive weapons of the Qin Di. They were all destroyed by the terrifying flames in an instant.
The Mother Demon Queen said softly: "That's good. They can't disturb us anymore, right?"
Ye Yinzhu groaned. She endured the pain from the clash of the Flame of Life and stomped on the air with her right foot. She activated the War Beast's War Stomp.
A loud explosion resounded. The two of them suddenly separated. The Mother Demon Queen's body only swayed a little, while Ye Yinzhu was sent flying. She spat out another mouthful of light Golden blood. The Mother Demon Queen said angrily: "Are you really that stubborn? Must you kill me?"
Ye Yinzhu said coldly: "What do you think?"
The Mother Demon Queen snorted and said: "Fine. Since you're overestimating yourself, I'll show you the true power of a God."
As she spoke, she slowly drew a circle with her palms that were still burning with white flames. She said indifferently: "In the God's World, God is the ruler of everything. No one can change this outcome. This is my world. In my world, if I want you to live, you will live. If I want you to die, you will die. This is the power of a God. It's called the God Realm. "
The milky white light expanded. Ye Yinzhu suddenly realized that she couldn't move her body. Even her soul power couldn't extend out of her body.
Everything froze at this moment. Even with Ye Yinzhu's demigod body, she couldn't do anything.
"This is a matter between the two of us. We shouldn't let others get involved. Don't you think so? Let me help you get rid of these burdens. "
The Mother Demon Queen chuckled and pointed her right index finger in Ye Yinzhu's direction. "Sword, detach. Armor, detach. Wings, detach. "
A buzzing sound came from Ye Yinzhu's body. Immediately after, the Divine Beast Armor on his body disintegrated. He turned back into War Beast Grassis and Mountain Giant Ming.
The wings on his back and the Amethyst Starry Greatsword in his hand also detached. Lightning, Thunder, and Purple appeared beside Ye Yinzhu. As for Ye Yinzhu, he was only left with a set of armor.
The Zither of Withered Wood Dragon Chant and Phil Jackson's Soul Orb were forcibly fused back into Ye Yinzhu's body under the Mother Demon Queen's power. He was now completely unarmed.
Not only did the five Divine Beasts detach from Ye Yinzhu's body, but they were also unable to move in the Mother Demon Queen's World.
The Mother Demon Queen smiled and said: "See? This is the power of the God's World, the power of a god. In the past, when I fought with that old Divine Dragon King, it was a clash of our God's Worlds. Unfortunately, there will not be a second God's World to fight against me. Don't worry, they are all your brothers. I won't take their lives. All of you, go away. Get lost, don't disturb my conversation with my Yinzhu. "
With that, the Mother Demon Queen waved her hand and the five Divine Beasts flew out at the same time, far away from the Black Demonic Thearch Territory.
At this moment, the cabin door of the airborne Qin Di opened. Radiance Tower Lord O 'Brien and Soul Tower Lord Mike Milan flew out first, followed closely by Sula and Hai Yang.
The two women rode on their Silver Dragon and Snow Dragon Leopard respectively. Anya also flew out and floated beside them.
Their faces shone with determination.
At the same time, two hundred figures flew out from the Qin Di.
Dragonwolf could not fly, but they had wings and could glide freely in the air. Ye Hongyan sat on the Dragon Wolf Prince's back, raised his sword high and shouted: "Sword."
The Death God Warriors raised their swords at the same time. Dense black light condensed into one in the air. Using the gliding force, they flew towards the Mother Demon Queen and her God's World.
"Judge — — Kill — —"
Ye Hongyan shouted again. The two hundred Death God Warriors swung their swords forward at the same time. A huge black light condensed into a sharp blade in the air and suddenly slashed downwards, towards the Mother Demon Queen.
The Mother Demon Queen frowned: "You humans are really annoying. Judgment divine power? Do you think this level of judgment divine power can break my God's World? If you were real Death Gods, you might be able to do it. Unfortunately, this bit of power is far from enough. Go, into the abyss. "
As she spoke, the Mother Demon Queen slowly raised her palms upwards. Her parallel God's World suddenly rose. The two Tower Masters, Sula, Hai Yang and Anya, who were about to release their magic, froze at the same time. The Death God Warriors' God's World stopped abruptly. Even though judgment divine power was known as the power to destroy gods, their energy levels were far inferior to the Mother Demon Queen's.
The Mother Demon Queen's God's World suddenly trembled. In the next moment, Ye Hongyan and his Death God Warriors were already on the Dragonwolf's rapid gliding towards the abyss. Even with judgment divine power, they still could not escape from the Mother Demon Queen's God's World's control.
"As expected of judgment divine power. If they were ten times stronger, they might really be able to destroy me. Unfortunately, they will never have such a chance. "
The Mother Demon Queen slowly turned to Ye Yinzhu and smiled at him. "Alright, finally no one will disturb us anymore. Yinzhu, are you really not willing to compromise with me? If you are not willing to attack, I can help you kill all these people. It's just a small effort. "
Ye Yinzhu looked coldly at the Mother Demon Queen. "I have indeed miscalculated your strength. Even the powerful Qin Di Warship could not destroy you. Kill me. I will never compromise with you. Even if you don't kill me now, as long as you kill them, I will definitely go with them. It's true that you are very strong and can use the God's World to control me, but you cannot control me forever. I cannot kill you, but it is not difficult for me to kill myself. At most, I will just be a mandarin duck with my wives. And the company of friends. At least I will not be lonely in the underground. "
"You —"
The Mother Demon Queen's anger was finally provoked by Ye Yinzhu. "You humans are really stupid. Don't you know how precious life is? Be it humans or the Abyss, every living thing only has one chance to live. Once you die, you will disappear forever. What do you mean by heaven or earth? You are just comforting yourself. "
Ye Yinzhu laughed. "So what? To be able to die together with the person I love is a kind of happiness for me. This is a happiness that a selfish Abyss creature like you will never understand. "
The Mother Demon Queen stared fiercely at Ye Yinzhu. Although Ye Yinzhu could not move, her clear eyes stared back at the Mother Demon Queen. She did not cower in the slightest because of the Mother Demon Queen's forcefulness.
One human and one demon, they stared at each other. She did not give in at all.
Suddenly, the Mother Demon Queen laughed. Even Ye Yinzhu had to admit that her laughter was very pleasant. Of course, this laughter should have belonged to the original Xiao Longnu.
"Ye Yinzhu, have you forgotten? You said it before. You like me. "
The anger in the Mother Demon Queen's eyes disappeared. Her control over her emotions had reached a miraculous level. At this moment, not only was her expression gentle, but it was also filled with a sense of pity.
Ye Yinzhu looked at her disdainfully. "Did I say that? That's not right. I never said that I liked you. "
The Mother Demon Queen said: "No, you said it. Before the Qin Di launched the attack, you said that you liked me. How could you not like someone as perfect as me? "
Ye Yinzhu said: "No, you remembered wrongly. I did not say that I liked you, but that I liked Xiao Longnu. That was admiration. Everyone loves beauty. At that time. I said that I liked Xiao Longnu. It was not that I liked the Mother Demon Queen. "
"You …"
The Mother Demon Queen's breathing became rapid. "Good, good, Ye Yinzhu, you actually played this kind of word game with me. Do you think that I can't deal with you like this? As long as I want it, there is no possibility that I can't get it. Even if I want to destroy the entire Longqinus, I can still do it. I am a god, a god who rules over everything. "
Ye Yinzhu looked at her with a cold smile, "Then I want to see. How you conquered me. "
The Mother Demon Queen's expression was somewhat ugly, but her eyes revealed a trace of confidence, "You just said that if your wives are all dead, it doesn't matter if you die, and you can reunite in the underworld, right?"
Ye Yinzhu said proudly: "That's right. Death is not scary. Being forever alone like you is the scariest. "
Killing intent flashed across the Mother Demon Queen's eyes. However, she forcefully endured it and did not flare up. "Then if your wives are not dead, do you have something in your heart that makes you unwilling to die?"
Ye Yinzhu said indifferently: "Do you want to torture us? Then go ahead and do it. However, don't give me the chance. Otherwise. I am willing to die with my wives. I will not continue to be humiliated by you, nor will I compromise with you. "
The Mother Demon Queen smiled. She smiled very happily. With a flash, she appeared in front of Ye Yinzhu. She raised her right hand. Gently caressing Ye Yinzhu's face, she blew a breath of air into his face. A faint fragrance wafted over. Looking at her from such a close distance, one could feel her soul-stirring beauty.
"My dear, don't worry. I won't give you that chance. At the same time, I believe that you won't do that either. You seem to have forgotten. In this world, other than your wives, there are people that you cannot abandon. Do you want to resist me? I can only tell you. The final victory belongs to me. I am a god. A god is omnipotent. "
As she spoke, the Mother Demon Queen's body suddenly retreated a hundred meters back. At the same time, she slowly clasped her hands in front of her chest and closed her eyes.
The Mother Demon Queen's expression was somewhat solemn. Even when she faced Ye Yinzhu's all-out attack or judgment divine power, she had never looked so solemn.
She slowly chanted a deep and somewhat strange incantation in a language that Ye Yinzhu could not understand.
This time, a silver light appeared beside the Mother Demon Queen. She slowly opened her mouth and spat out a transparent bead.
Even though he did not know what the Mother Demon Queen was doing, Ye Yinzhu still felt a strong sense of unease.
The silver light gradually grew stronger. The Mother Demon Queen even revealed a pained expression. It was clear that she was using up an enormous amount of energy. Even with her strength that could withstand a full blow from the Qin Di, she was in so much pain. What was she doing?
At this moment, Ye Yinzhu could not think of any reason for the Mother Demon Queen to use up such a large amount of energy. It was too easy for her to kill them. Even though the Qin Di did not succeed in killing her, it forced Ye Yinzhu to use a second plan to deal with her, putting everyone in danger. The Death Dragonwolf Knights were also deep in the Abyss, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive. But he still had some confidence in his plan. Ye Yinzhu believed that the Mother Demon Queen would not kill him easily. This was his understanding of the Mother Demon Queen's mentality. This Abyss God who had taken over the little dragon girl's body did not want to kill, but to integrate into the society of Dragon Kinsman Nous and live like a real human. If he could grasp this, Ye Yinzhu's plan would have a high chance of success. Even though it was a risk, he still had some confidence in it. But the power that the Mother Demon Queen displayed made him uneasy. The unknown was the easiest to bring fear to people.
What was the Mother Demon Queen doing? No one knew. Ye Yinzhu did not know, let alone the others.
The silver light that was released from her body slowly condensed in her palm. The light pulsed continuously, and one could vaguely feel that the energy within was extremely active. That was definitely a God-tier energy.
The Mother Demon Queen let out a low roar and waved her right hand that was holding the silver light in front of her, pulling out a thin silver line in the air. Everyone's soul shook violently, and the ear-piercing tearing sound made their faces show expressions of extreme pain.
Suddenly, Ye Yinzhu understood what the Mother Demon Queen was doing. His eyes immediately revealed a look of shock. He did not expect the God-tier Mother Demon Queen to be so strong. The current her was probably even stronger than when she fought against the Divine Dragon King ten thousand years ago.
She retracted her right hand, but the silver line was still in front of her. She reached out towards the silver line with a serious expression, and something strange happened. Her hands actually disappeared into the silver line. Then, she spread her palms outwards, and the silver line was forcibly pulled apart from the center, turning into a silver rectangular object that floated in front of her.
She opened her mouth, and a transparent pearl flew out, floating in front of her. Looking at the pearl, the Mother Demon Queen's eyes were filled with longing. The surface of the pearl looked transparent, but the moment it appeared, the abyss under the Mother Demon Queen's feet seemed to let out a slight groan. The entire abyss shook violently, as if an earthquake was happening.
That's right, this pearl was the Mother Demon Queen's Soul Pearl. It was also a God-tier Soul Pearl in the truest sense. It was formed by the Mother Demon Queen's soul, and was an existence at the pinnacle of death-type souls.
The Soul Pearl floated in front of the Mother Demon Queen, slowly rotating on its own. The Mother Demon Queen's eyes became empty white, and her unparalleled mental power pierced directly into the silver light with the help of the Soul Pearl.
The corners of the Demon Queen's mouth curled into an evil smile. She subconsciously glanced at Ye Yinzhu, causing his heart to skip a beat.
"Found you. Come out one by one. "
The Mother Demon Queen's hands reached into the silver light again. Then, figures were pulled out one by one from the light, and appeared in front of her. Due to the effects of the Mother Demon Queen's Divine Realm, these figures immediately floated in mid-air and stopped moving. Four humans, or rather, four children, were pulled out of the light screen by the Mother Demon Monarch. They were the four children that Ye Yinzhu had with Sula, Hai Yang, and Xiang Luan.
Ye Siqin, Ye Lianqin, Ye Nianqin, and the crown prince of the Milanese Empire, who was now called Ye Ruiqin.
Seeing the appearance of the four children, not only Ye Yinzhu's expression changed, but the expressions of Sula, Hai Yang, O 'Brien, and Michael Milan also changed.
They were not afraid of death, but when they saw the four children in front of them, they were filled with uncontrollable fear. They finally understood what the Mother Demon Queen was trying to do.
She had actually used her unparalleled power to tear through space, using her own power to traverse through the planes. Using her terrifying Divine level spiritual energy, she had found the location of the four children on the Long Qinus Mainland and forcefully brought them to this plane.
Ye Siqin, Ye Nianqin, and Ye Lianqin were all shocked. They looked at Xiao Longnu in front of them, and then at their parents on the other side, not knowing what was going on.
"Mom, Dad, where, where is this?"
Ye Siqin asked in shock.
The environment of the Abyss plane was not comparable to Longqinus, especially the suppressive feeling in the surroundings, and the bottomless abyss under his feet, made him feel fear.
Among the four children, only Ye Ruiqin could barely maintain her calm. She looked at Xiao Longnu, and then at Ye Yinzhu on the other side, a thoughtful look in her eyes. This clever child was able to maintain a clear mind no matter what situation he was in. As expected of the prodigy prince of Milan.
Ye Yinzhu stared at the Mother Demon Queen angrily, "What do you want? I didn't expect you to be so despicable. How dare you use the children to threaten me. "
The Mother Demon Queen had already grasped the pearl of wisdom, and her expression was indescribably carefree. She smiled and said, "What do you think I want to do? Do you and your wife not care about your own lives? Then I want to see if you care about the lives of these children. Such adorable children, as expected of your children. Yinzhu, how I wish we could have our own children. After entering the God level, that is my greatest wish. "
"Siqin, Lianqin, Nianqin, don't be afraid. Dad and Mom will save you. "
Sula cried out. Her eyes were glistening with tears. No matter how strong a woman was, she was still a woman. Seeing her children being controlled by the Mother Demon Queen, her firm heart finally cracked.
The Mother Demon Queen stretched out her hand. She hugged Ruiqin in her arms, "This is the son of you and Xiang Luan, right? This child is really adorable, and I heard that he is shockingly smart. His mother was no longer around. Perhaps it would be a good choice for him to follow his mother in the underworld. Don't you think so, Yinzhu? "
As she spoke. The Mother Demon Queen held Ye Ruiqin horizontally in front of her, a gentle look in her eyes. "What a pity. I don't know how high the abyss is. If he were to fall from here, would the child's intelligence allow him to survive? Yinzhu, why don't we give it a try. "
As she spoke, she seemed to be about to let go.
"Stop."
An angry voice sounded out, attracting the Mother Demon Queen's attention.
The Mother Demon Queen looked in the direction of the voice, "Oh, so it's Yinzhu's sister, Anya. Do you think you can stop me? "
She shouted angrily. It was Anya, who was also restrained. She took a deep breath, her eyes filled with determination, "You are the God of the Abyss, why make things difficult for a few children?"
The Mother Demon Queen's eyes suddenly surged with intense anger, "Shut up. I am not some God of the Abyss, I just want to be an ordinary woman, you are not even willing to do this, you are forcing me to do this. Can't I just be an ordinary person? "
Anya stared deeply at the Demon Queen and said: "The child is still young. He couldn't take any fright. Release the four children first, then use me to threaten Yinzhu. I believe you. It will have the same effect. Since you don't want to really break off with Yinzhu, then don't let these four children be frightened again. "
The Demon Queen looked at Anya with disdain and said, "You? Do you think you are as important as the four children to Ye Yinzhu? If I could use you to threaten him, why would I waste the effort to break open the plane and bring these four children here? "
Anya said calmly, "Since you're going to use Yinzhu's child to threaten him, it's the same if you use me. I was already pregnant with Yinzhu's fifth child. Is this enough? "
"What?"
The Demon Queen and Ye Yinzhu exclaimed almost at the same time, while Sula and Hai Yang looked at Anya in disbelief. In an instant, she became the focus of everyone's attention.
Anya showed a hint of apology and bitterness to Hai Yang and Sula. "Don't misunderstand, it was just a coincidence. At that time, in order to save my life, Yinzhu had to use his life fire to calm the overflowing life force in my body. That's why that happened. He only loves you all. Between us, it was just a coincidence, or rather, a mistake. "
Sula and Hai Yang looked at each other and were about to say something, but were muted by the Demon Queen.
The Demon Queen frowned and said: "You only had sex with him once. It's been three or four years. If you had his child, you should have given birth long ago. Do you think you can fool me like this? "
Anya said coldly: "There's no need for me to lie to you. Our elven royalty's pregnancy is different from humans, it's twenty years. There's still a long time before the child is born. "
The Demon Queen stared at Anya, her eyes filled with jealousy. "I didn't expect that even you have his child. But, don't underestimate yourself. Ye Yinzhu's feelings for you exist in another form. Perhaps, you're more useful than these children. Alright, I don't want these children to be frightened, it's fine if it's you. "
As she spoke, the Demon Queen waved her hands, and the four children flew towards Sula and Hai Yang. At the same time, he pulled Anya to his side.
Sula and Hai Yang were temporarily released by the Demon Queen, and they hurriedly hugged the children. When Sula hugged Siqin and Lian Qin, she couldn't help but cry. She looked at Anya with gratitude.
When the children appeared, Sula and Hai Yang's hearts were in a mess, but Anya could remain calm. She could tell that the Demon Queen did all this not to kill them, but to get their acknowledgment, especially from Ye Yinzhu.
Siqin and Lian Qin fell into Sula's arms, and immediately calmed down. They looked at everything in front of them in confusion. Especially Lian Qin, as the only girl among the four children, she was already on the verge of tears.
Ye Nianqin was relatively insensitive, and didn't have much of a reaction. He and Ye Ruiqin fell into Hai Yang's arms, and Ye Ruiqin was very interested in the opposite side.
"Are you my older brother or younger brother?"
Ye Ruiqin looked at Ye Yinzhu in a daze. With his intelligence, he rarely lost his composure like this. For him to have such an expression, it showed how much the Demon Queen's words impacted him.
"If what they said is true, then I should be your older brother."
The Demon Queen pulled Anya in front of her, one hand hugging her slender waist, the other gently caressing Anya's abdomen. "Is this your child with him? Ye Yinzhu, I'll give you one last chance. Agree to marry me, and I'll let her go. Otherwise, I won't kill her, but I'll kill your child first, and then your other four children one by one. There's a limit to my patience, don't force me. "
Ye Yinzhu's eyes flashed. Even with his intelligence, he couldn't help but be in a mess. Looking at Anya, who was controlled by the Demon Queen, his heart was in turmoil, and for a moment, he was a little dazed. "As long as I agree, you'll let them all go?"
The Demon Queen said coldly, "Sure. Letting them go is no big deal. However, this process is a little troublesome. First, those who know my identity today, except for the few in front of me, must die. This is the only way to prevent anyone from leaking my identity. After that, I'll erase all the memories of those who are still alive. They will only know the destruction of the abyss. If not for the fact that I can no longer erase your memories with your spiritual power, I wouldn't have wasted so much time talking to you. "
"Finally. After they lose their memories, you have to tell them that you've decided to marry me. I'll be your wife, and they can only be your concubines. Of course, the most important thing is that after all this is done, you have to erase the memory of me being a Demon Queen from your mind. Only then will you treat me wholeheartedly. Do this, and I'll let them go. Otherwise, I'll kill your children first, and let you suffer for the rest of your lives. "
The Demon Queen was a Demon Queen after all. Even though she wanted to be human, she was still ruthless. As long as Ye Yinzhu agreed, other than the two Pagoda Lords and Ye Yinzhu's two wives and children, Anya would be killed. The rest, including the Beaumont Colossal Beast, Silver Dragon Princess Li Sha, and the five divine beasts that the Demon Queen had thrown out of the abyss, would all die.
"If I agree, will you let Sister Anya go now?"
Ye Yinzhu asked in a low voice.
The Demon Queen smiled and said, "I know you're smart and intelligent. I've also said that I'm not as smart as you. However, you should also know that you have a huge weakness. Of course, to them, this might be a strength. That is, you're too sentimental. In order to prevent you from playing tricks. Before we do all this, you have to make love to me in front of all of them. I'm a god. I'm sure that if we do it once, I'll be pregnant with your child. I think, at that time, no matter what you do, no matter what you plan to do, you will have to think twice in your heart. "
With an intoxicated look in her eyes, the Demon Queen said excitedly, "I'm really looking forward to having a child with you. I wonder how outstanding our child will be. At the very least, it should be more outstanding than your current children. "
