I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1406

Chapter 1406: Chapter 544: Golden Core Forged! Heroes Appear! (Part 2)

Bang!

With a loud explosion, the furnace lid flew off, and roaring flames erupted!

Amid the fiery spectacle, a round, lustrous pill hovered in mid-air, its entire body shining golden, covered with intricate patterns, with dazzling colorful radiance swirling around it!

"It’s finally done!"

Ji Hongxiu withdrew her Alchemy Fire, preparing to hand the Golden Core to Ling Yishan.

During this period, she and Huo Wuya had been terribly exhausted and couldn’t resist the great calamity; a third Ultimate Venerable’s help was necessary!

However, at that moment, a large hand suddenly reached out from the void, firmly seizing the Golden Core!

"Who?!"

Ji Hongxiu’s expression changed, and she swiftly raised her hand to strike.

Raging Dao Power poured forth, as if it had hit something invisible.

"Roar—"

A deafening roar resounded.

A monster with a human head and a snake body appeared, its body winding and enormous, as if forcibly assembled from a dozen corpses, with crowded human faces on its abdomen, more than twenty eyes staring at her in unison, presenting a terrifying sight!

"What is this thing?"

Ji Hongxiu’s brow twitched.

Even though her focus was on the Pill Furnace just now, it was impossible for anyone to approach her unnoticed, not even Yu Youhan could manage it!

Unless...

The dead?

Noticing the crown on the creature’s head, a spark seemed to flash in Ji Hongxiu’s mind!

"It’s the Ancient Emperor’s remains!"

"This monster is made from thirteen Imperial bodies combined!"

"No wonder such a terrifying thunder calamity descended; it’s because someone wants to use this creature to break free and prove the Dao of becoming an Emperor!"

The Corpse Worm revealed a sinister smile.

Once the Golden Core was in hand, it didn’t hesitate at all, turned around, and disappeared in a flash!

"Stop!"

Ji Hongxiu’s Daoist robe flared, and she raised her sword fingers, slashing down from the air!

However, the scales on the Corpse Worm were incredibly tough, enduring the blow with a wound deep enough to see the bone, but it wasn’t fatal.

The numerous faces on its abdomen opened their mouths simultaneously, spewing out a crimson blood mist. The intense corrosion forced Ji Hongxiu to dodge, and in that brief moment, it reached the edge of the training ground, tore through the spatial barrier, and slipped out!

"Not good!"

Ji Hongxiu’s face changed drastically!

This monster could ignore the Void Profound Slaughter’s seal?!

Now she was more certain the mastermind had calculated this fact, choosing this critical moment to act!

Even if unwilling, she had no time for hesitation and could only uphold her Dharma Image to help Huo Wuya alleviate the burden.

But their Dao Power was almost depleted, confronting this heaven-and-earth calamity was beyond their capabilities, and they could only watch helplessly as the black sphere slowly descended.

As the surrounding space continued to be annihilated, everyone present showed signs of despair.

"Are we really going to die here?"

"So unwilling, I haven’t even married Brother Chen Mo yet..."

Shen Zhixia and Ling Ningzhi curled up together, their faces pale, slowly closing their eyes.

"Roar—"

At that moment, a painful howl suddenly sounded from afar.

Immediately afterward, a dazzling light pierced through the thick darkness above!

"Hmm?"

The crowd looked up in bewilderment, stunned in place.

The pitch-black sphere covering the entire training ground had split into two from the middle, allowing blinding light to seep through the cracks, making it hard for them to keep their eyes open.

Vaguely, three figures could be seen suspended in the air.

"Chen, Brother Chen Mo?"

Shen Zhixia’s eyes widened, staring blankly at the sky.

Chen Mo stood tall in a black robe, toying with the Creation Golden Pill in his hand.

Yu Youhan’s Dao Power surged around him, forming a massive azure sword, its majestic aura unbearable to gaze upon.

Shen Zhixia hugged him tightly, burying her cheek in his chest, her voice choked, "I was so scared just now, almost thought I’d never see you again..."

"Zhixia?" Chen Mo asked confusedly, "Why are you here? Didn’t I tell you to stay home and not come out?"

Shen Zhixia sobbed, "Daoist Qingxuan came to the Shen Residence looking for me. Through a Spirit Talisman, she sent word to the Sect, requesting the Master’s help. I was worried, so I came along."

"Did Master Huo also come?"

Only then did Chen Mo notice the distant black-robed elder.

Huo Wuya’s chest heaved, his expression utterly weary, clearly having exerted every ounce of his strength.

In such perilous situations, even an Ultimate Venerable faced certain death. He had indeed risked his life, such a favor was truly profound as a mountain!

Chen Mo released Shen Zhixia and bowed deeply to Huo Wuya with gratitude, "Thank you, Master, for your assistance!"

"It’s nothing, just a small effort." Huo Wuya caught his breath and waved his hand, "No need for niceties, you should go see Ling Yishan before it’s too late, otherwise your father-in-law might really be breathing his last."

...

...

"Grandfather..."

At this moment, Ling Yishan slumped against the chair, his complexion sallow, his eyes empty.

No matter how Ling Ningzhi called out, there was no response, he was already at the brink of death.

Chen Mo flashed over, reached out to press the cheekbone acupoint, the clenched jaw slowly relaxed, then flicked his fingers, allowing the Golden Core to enter his mouth.

No need to swallow; the pill melted upon entry, flowed down the throat into the body, the medicinal force instantly spread throughout.

Three breaths later.

Ling Yishan’s previously scattered gaze abruptly focused—

Primordial Qi surged into his body, creating a spiritual vacuum within a hundred miles!

Radiance emitted from the Dantian, the withered skin rapidly plumping up, even the heroic sound of the Qi-Blood pumping could be heard!

Buzz—

Behind him, the void trembled, faintly with star rivers revolving, an unparalleled aura shot into the sky!

Under the magnificent power of the Creation Golden Pill, the damaged Dao Foundation was entirely restored.

Within moments, the injuries were fully healed, returning to the Ultimate Venerable Realm!
