Giving Birth But Not Raising, Why Are You Crying Now That I’ve Become an Immortal Emperor? - Chapter 40 - Chapter 40 – Dongfang Yuqing’s Supreme Strength! The Dragon Emperor Appears! Heaven-Defying Comprehension!

“Who dares to launch a sneak attack? Get out here for this old man!”

Ao Feng, having been blasted back by that finger seal in midair, his massive dragon eyes suddenly blazing with overwhelming ferocity, roared furiously.

An invisible soundwave, like rolling thunder, swept across all directions.

“Sneak attack? Hmph!”

Immediately after, a faint cold snort echoed eerily through the heavens and earth.

Buzz!

At this moment, not far in front of Ye Lingyun, the void suddenly rippled violently, and an infinitely graceful, slender figure slowly emerged.

Dongfang Yuqing finally revealed her true form.

Wearing a simple and elegant Daoist robe fluttering lightly in the wind, her absolutely beautiful face bore an indifferent look that looked down on all living beings. Cold glints flickered in her flowing eyes.

Before Ao Feng could respond, Dongfang Yuqing cast a cold glance forward, formed a hand seal, and pointed straight ahead.

With her movement, boundless pressure covered the sky and blocked the sun, and a torrent of spiritual power surged forth!

“Roar!!”

Ao Feng howled towards the sky, spiritual power exploding across his dragon body as he tried to resist, but was horrified to find that under the overwhelming pressure, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t move an inch!

Only moments ago, he had been flaunting his power in front of Ye Lingyun and the others, but now he was nothing more than a toy in Dongfang Yuqing’s hands—completely subdued with ease!

Bang!

Terrifying force poured onto Ao Feng’s body surface, instantly sending him flying backward. At the same time, several gruesome wounds suddenly appeared on his powerful body, blood spurting out wildly, and blood rain began to fall from the sky.

A howl full of pain escaped his mouth as Ao Feng desperately circulated all his spiritual power to barely steady himself. His dragon eyes were filled with terror.

Only now did he finally recognize the identity of the attacker: The Daoist Supreme, Dongfang Yuqing!

“You’re… Dongfang Yuqing?!”

Ao Feng stared fixedly at her slender figure, a storm raging in his heart.

He was facing one of the three supreme lords of the Dao Palace—a top-tier human powerhouse!

He was absolutely no match!

Dongfang Yuqing hovered calmly in the air, expression cold and gaze profound, but without the slightest intention to respond.

Seeing her sudden appearance here, Ye Lingyun and the others were also momentarily stunned.

Ye Lingyun’s eyes narrowed slightly, a faint and strange gleam appearing.

The two Liu sisters and Xue Yi exchanged glances, both showing deep confusion in their eyes.

They likely had no idea about the past connection between Dongfang Yuqing and Ye Lingyun back in Chu Empire, naturally feeling completely clueless.

Only Xue Yi had a rough guess in her heart.

The Daoist Supreme Dongfang?
Could it be that she had been secretly following and protecting Ye Lingyun all along?

She must care about him deeply.

“Miss, quickly activate that protective spiritual talisman!”

Knowing he was no match for Dongfang Yuqing, Ao Feng’s expression fluctuated wildly. Suddenly, he turned sharply and shouted toward Li Yue not far away.

Li Yue, who had been closely watching the battle, felt a chill seeing Ao Feng lose control like this. The sense of danger surged and she hurriedly took out a finely crafted jade talisman that shimmered with spiritual light.

She bit her silver teeth lightly, pricked her fingertip, and let a drop of blood seep into the talisman.

Boom!

At her action, the talisman suddenly burst forth with tens of thousands of rays of rainbow light. A magnificent aura like the blazing midday sun soared into the sky. Boundless pressure spread out, instantly freezing this piece of heaven and earth.

The raging wind suddenly ceased, and floating clouds dispersed across the sky.

Under the stunned gazes of everyone present, amid the humming of the heavens and earth, a towering figure as if reaching from heaven to earth slowly took shape.

The newcomer wore a golden robe and jade crown, his figure as upright and sharp as a soaring sword. His face was firm and majestic, especially his pair of golden eyes shimmering with dazzling light, exuding endless dominance.

Seeing this suddenly appearing man, Dongfang Yuqing’s usually calm gaze immediately sharpened. On her stunningly beautiful face, a trace of fluctuation appeared. She slowly uttered two words: “Dragon Emperor!”

The person summoned by Li Yue using that jade talisman was none other than one of the Four Emperors — the Dragon Emperor!

Of course, among humans, he also carried another title: the Demon Emperor.

Truly a supreme powerhouse at the peak of Nine Provinces!

And within the Demon God Palace, Li Yang and Li Yue held very high status because they were his biological children.

Hearing Dongfang Yuqing’s utterance, the women behind Ye Lingyun all shivered, their expressions shifting constantly.

Today, they had unexpectedly attracted such a supreme powerhouse—what were they to do now?

Dongfang Yuqing stared intently at the Dragon Emperor’s figure ahead, her gaze heavy as she quietly asked, “Dragon Emperor, what’s this? Could it be that you also intend to forcibly attack our human race?”

Upon hearing this question, the Dragon Emperor furrowed his brow slightly but did not answer. His imposing gaze swept to the side.

Seeing this, Ao Feng immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

“Ao Feng, what happened here?” The Dragon Emperor asked calmly.

Ao Feng hurriedly reported the entire sequence of events in detail, naturally focusing on Ye Lingyun.

“Your Majesty, the situation is roughly as such. That young junior over there wields the two great immortal swords—Taibai Immortal Sword and Luxian Sword!”

Ao Feng said solemnly, pointing toward Ye Lingyun’s direction.

The Dragon Emperor lifted his eyelids lightly, surprise flickering in his gaze. Following Ao Feng’s direction, he took in the situation immediately.

He saw the two immortal swords quietly hovering beside Ye Lingyun. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold gleam flashed through his pupils.

The Luxian Sword—he was very familiar with that one!

That despicable Daoist’s immortal sword had actually fallen into the hands of this junior?

At this thought, a deep solemnity slowly emerged in the Dragon Emperor’s eyes.

At this moment, Li Yue also approached timidly and called out to him, “Daddy.”

The Dragon Emperor withdrew his thoughts, looked at his daughter, and furrowed his brow again, “Yue’er, why are you alone? Where’s your brother?”

Li Yue answered weakly, “He’s been knocked out by me.”

The Dragon Emperor twitched at the corner of his eye and glared fiercely at her, causing her to shrink her neck in fear.

Then, his gaze shifted again to Ye Lingyun.

“I do not know what relationship you have with that foul Daoist, but the fact that this sword has ended up in your hands means something has gone wrong.”

“Could that despicable Daoist be dead? That would actually be good news for our demon race.”

The Dragon Emperor stared coldly at Ye Lingyun, his expression particularly indifferent.

He did not think Ye Lingyun was the disciple of that Dragon-Slaying Daoist, who was a solitary and reclusive man who never took disciples.

“You will come with me back to the Demon God Palace. I, as the supreme of the demon race, promise you with my name that I will spare no effort and fully nurture you.”

The Immortal Ancient Stage was about to open, and every prodigy was highly valued by both humans and demons. Especially someone as exceptional as Ye Lingyun.

The Dragon Emperor obviously wanted to seize this opportunity to recruit a capable talent for the Demon God Palace.

But before Ye Lingyun could respond, Dongfang Yuqing coldly spoke up, “Dragon Emperor, you need not worry about this child. I will bring him into the Dao Palace, and we will likewise devote ourselves to nurturing him!”

Hearing this, the Dragon Emperor raised his brow slightly, a faint, ambiguous smile appearing on his solemn face.

“No matter how strong your Daoist Palace is, can it really compare to the united strength of my entire demon race?”

Dongfang Yuqing clenched her silver teeth and said coldly, “I don’t think your demon race would be so kind as to nurture a human prodigy. Your true intention is to destroy his talent!”

The Dragon Emperor’s eyes slightly lowered, his words dripping with coldness, “Dongfang Yuqing, if I want to take this person away, you will not stop me!”

Before the words had even finished, a surging terrifying pressure erupted from within the Dragon Emperor’s body, directly pressing down toward Dongfang Yuqing!

At this moment, Dongfang Yuqing was already prepared. Light shimmered on her slender hand, and a vast spiritual power immediately surged out!

A fierce battle broke out!

The clash of two supreme powerhouses unleashed might capable of destroying heaven and earth!

Ye Lingyun quietly withdrew to the side, watching the battle closely without blinking. In his mind, the cold system notification sound once again echoed faintly:

[You observe the Dragon Emperor’s martial skills, comprehending the Dragon Emperor’s Claw, achieving perfection!]

[You observe Dongfang Yuqing’s Daoist magic, comprehend Mingyu Heart Skill—realm perfect!]

Ye Lingyun concentrated on the duel of these two peak powerhouses, not missing the slightest detail. With his unparalleled comprehension ability, he continuously gained new understanding.

At the same time, immersed in his state of enlightenment, his spiritual power quietly began to circulate on its own, his aura rising, and his cultivation steadily advancing.
