93: Spring Scenery at the Altar of the Four Beasts

On the silent altar stone platform.

Cao Nie sat cross-legged, his eyes closed, and dense Divine Demonic Power circulated around his body.

After absorbing Night Rakshasi's primordial yin, coupled with him already being on the verge of a breakthrough, he successfully broke through to Asking Dao Realm Fifth Layer.

Now, he was even attempting to break through to Asking Dao Realm Sixth Layer.

The primordial yin power from hundreds of thousands of years flowed through his body.

Although he didn't possess a cauldron physique, it had an extraordinary effect on Cao Nie.

On the other side, Night Rakshasi tightly clutched a few tattered pieces of clothing with her five fingers, barely covering her vital areas.

Her beautiful eyes, filled with killing intent, stared at Cao Nie, a demonic red tint appearing at the corners of her eyes.

Most striking was the crimson stain remaining on her snow-white skin.

Her body, pure and untainted for hundreds of thousands of years, was now stained with indelible marks.

“Boom.”

Terrifying Divine Demonic Power surged from Cao Nie's body.

This also signified his breakthrough again, reaching the Asking Dao Realm Sixth Layer.

“Hoo.”

Cao Nie opened his eyes and let out a long, turbid breath.

He stood up, took out a piece of clothing, and threw it to Night Rakshasi, saying coldly, “I'll rescue you.”

Night Rakshasi's limbs were bound by chains, allowing her to move only on this altar.

Coupled with the suppression of this formation, her demonic power, which had been depleted over the years, could not recover, leaving her with only the combat strength of Tribulation Extinction Realm First Layer.

Night Rakshasi took it, and said coldly, “Rescue me? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you after I recover?”

Cao Nie sneered, grabbing her delicate, snow-white chin, “I'm confident that your recovery speed won't catch up to my breakthrough speed.”

Night Rakshasi's eyes narrowed slightly as she carefully scrutinized the arrogant and unrestrained man before her.

She had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, and this was the first time she had witnessed such an overbearing aura.

“Then we shall see.” Her red lips parted slightly, her voice carrying the majesty of a powerful expert, “If you can surpass me at my peak, this Emperor will follow you, but if not….”

Cao Nie chuckled, confidently stating, “Here, the word ‘if’ never exists.”

He stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering without wind, “Any enemy who falls to me can only forever look up at my back.”

As his voice fell, Cao Nie turned and walked towards the blood pool.

The blood in the pool suddenly boiled, and an angry dragon's roar echoed in his ears.

The lingering Azure Dragon phantom sensed the threat and blocked Cao Nie's path, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.

“A mere remnant soul dares to block me?”

Cao Nie sneered, stomping his foot heavily on the ground, and shot out like an arrow.

The Azure Dragon phantom, possessing the power of Tribulation Extinction Realm Third or Fourth Layer, finally let out an unwilling wail under Cao Nie's relentless assault, transforming into countless specks of light and dissipating.

The blood pool returned to calm, and a complete dragon skeleton, glowing with a faint blue light, slowly emerged.

He collected it without hesitation.

This item was an unparalleled material for artifact refining, and it might be useful in the future.

With one formation eye gone, Night Rakshasi immediately felt the suppression of the chains lessen by a few points, though it would still take a long time to completely break free.

A hint of surprise flashed in her gaze as she looked at Cao Nie.

To be able to destroy the Azure Dragon phantom, Cao Nie's strength was probably already comparable to a Tribulation Extinction Realm Fourth Layer expert.

Just at this moment.

A snow-white figure darted out from Cao Nie's sea of consciousness.

“Master, can these Azure Dragon essence blood… be refined by me?”

It was Yue Wuxia, who hadn't appeared for a long time.

If her primordial spirit could break through to the Tribulation Extinction Realm, she could directly undergo tribulation and use the power of heaven and earth's origin to reshape her physical body.

If her realm was insufficient, she would need to find rare treasures of heaven and earth containing the power of life or creation to condense her true form.

These remaining Azure Dragon essence blood should be able to help her primordial spirit realm reach the Tribulation Extinction Realm.

Under Yue Wuxia's expectant gaze, Cao Nie nodded slightly, “Yes.”

Yue Wuxia's eyes sparkled with a smile, and she bowed in greeting, “Thank you, Master.”

As her voice fell, she was about to turn and dart towards the Azure Dragon blood pool, but then she heard Cao Nie suddenly say, “From now on, call me husband.”

Yue Wuxia's delicate primordial spirit body trembled slightly, and a blush appeared on her snow-white cheeks.

She bit her red lips lightly and bowed gracefully towards Cao Nie, “Wuxia… greets husband.”

Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum, yet it couldn't hide her shyness.

Cao Nie smiled.

This woman's primordial spirit had completely submitted to him; only a perfect physical body was needed for her to truly become his woman.

“Once you reshape your body, you should also continue my bloodline.”

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the ice-cold Night Rakshasi on the altar, “Only you and Rakshasi haven't conceived Cao Family Head's child yet.”

Yue Wuxia's ears were crimson, and she gently nodded, her eyes lowered.

She stole one last glance at Cao Nie, and her primordial spirit transformed into a ray of moonlight, merging into the turbulent Azure Dragon blood pool.

Night Rakshasi on the altar heard these words.

She snorted coldly in her heart.

The stronger the cultivator, the harder it was to conceive.

It was absolutely impossible for her to bear Cao Nie's offspring.

Cao Nie's gaze turned to the other three divine beasts: Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise.

After an intense battle, the Vermilion Bird phantom finally dissipated in the raging flames.

Cao Nie waved his hand, collecting the fiery red, jade-like Vermilion Bird skeleton, and with a thought, released Hong Ling and Qing Rou from his cosmos ring.

“Husband.”

As the two appeared, they called out softly.

When they saw the boiling Vermilion Bird blood pool, their beautiful eyes burst with joyful light.

The Vermilion Bird and their physiques shared the same origin.

If they could cultivate within it, their cultivation would definitely greatly improve.

Cao Nie smiled, “Go in and cultivate.”

“Thank you, husband, for your generosity.”

The two women exchanged smiles and transformed into two streaks of light, merging into the blood pool.

The boiling scarlet blood automatically swirled around them, forming two brilliant fire elemental vortexes.

Night Rakshasi watched this scene, gnashing her teeth in anger.

How many women did this damned Cao Nie have?

And these four blood pools, if she could absorb them, her cultivation would definitely recover in a short time.

Cao Nie ignored Night Rakshasi's murderous gaze.

Next, he followed the same pattern, killing the White Tiger and Black Tortoise phantoms and collecting their skeletons.

At the same time, he released all his other women.

“You all go to the Black Tortoise blood pool and absorb the essence blood energy within to cultivate.”

Upon hearing this, the women's eyes shone with splendor.

The legendary divine beast Black Tortoise essence blood!

Even if it was just residual power, for them as pregnant women, it could not only enhance their cultivation but also nourish the fetuses in their wombs, killing two birds with one stone.

“Thank you, husband.”

The women stepped into the blood pool one after another.

In an instant, the essence blood energy in the pool transformed into countless fine streams, swirling around their bodies.

Night Rakshasi had already broken free from her chains and put on her clothes, demanding sharply, “Bastard, how many women do you have?”

If Cao Nie could defeat her at her peak, she would follow Cao Nie.

The premise was that Cao Nie was alone.

Who would have thought he had so many wives and concubines?

Cao Nie put away the White Tiger blood pool, preparing to take this essence blood back for the Nine Great Elders to absorb.

“Except for a few who aren't here, everyone else is here.”

Night Rakshasi's eyes widened as she looked around, “Twenty? Can you handle them all?”

Cao Nie's lips curled into a slight smile, and he walked towards Night Rakshasi with a playful look.

“Whether I can or not, aren't you the clearest?”

“To make you conceive my child sooner, it seems Cao Family Head will have to work harder.”

Night Rakshasi's face changed drastically, and she cautiously retreated.

Although she had broken free, it would still take some time to recover her peak strength.

She was no match for Cao Nie right now.

“Bastard, I'm still hurting.”

Cao Nie ignored her.

“Then fight pain with pain.”

Before long, Night Rakshasi's gasps echoed in the empty space.

The wives and concubines listened, their faces flushed, and even their desire to refine the essence blood faded.

Only Hong Ling and Qing Rou remained unaffected; their origins were intertwined, and the Vermilion Bird phantom appeared behind them, accelerating the refinement of the essence blood in the pool.
