After witnessing the terrifying power of the experts from the Heavenly Realm, Gu Zunren and the others felt an immense sense of loss within their hearts. It was as if the Demon Lord had regained his Demon Master level cultivation with the help of the Chaotic Demon Nest, but so what? In the end, he still died at the hands of the powerful from the Heavenly Realm.
Treasures can only exert their greatest effect when in the hands of the strong. Qin Chen was healing his injuries within the Qiankun Creation Jade Dish, while Lao Yuan and the others stood guard nearby, silently healing their wounds. In the void, a grain of mustard seed transformed from the Qiankun Creation Jade Dish drifted with the wind, accompanied by flashes of void power, as the Qiankun Creation Jade Dish was carried to a more secluded position.
At the moment when Qin Chen killed Pu Cai Jun, in the Chaotic Demon Nest, Shangguan Xi’er, nourished by the Holy Level elixirs, quickly recovered from her injuries. The demonic energy around her receded, transforming into a human form, revealing an extraordinarily stunning face.
Seeing Shangguan Xi’er’s appearance, Jian Pingdao, who previously looked down on her, immediately revealed a fervent gaze, his eyes scanning her up and down, never expecting that she could be such a beautiful woman.
How did he not notice it before?
It must be said that after Shangguan Xi’er returned to her human form, she was indeed one of the most beautiful women on this continent. Her figure was graceful, her face exquisite, without any flaws, and her scattered hair did not appear messy, but rather exuded a myriad of charm.
Especially her pair of eyes, which seemed to speak, sparkling and enchanting, making all the men unable to help but feel heartache, wanting to protect her.
Moreover, with her robe torn, some spring scenery faintly visible, it seemed capable of stealing one’s soul, leaving several experts from the Heavenly Realm staring in disbelief.
The Heavenly Realm had many beauties, and they had seen too many stunning women; generally, women from the lower realms did not catch their fancy. Yet, it must be said that at this moment, Shangguan Xi’er even evoked a sense of heart-thumping emotions in them.
“Greetings to all the Heavenly Realm Lords, I am Shangguan Xi’er, the master of Piao Miao Palace on the Tianwu Continent.”
Shangguan Xi’er performed a graceful bow, resembling an incredibly pure woman, her voice soft and sweet, tickling the heart.
But thinking of Shangguan Xi’er’s half-human, half-demon appearance, Jian Pingdao and the others’ expressions turned cold. “As a member of the human race, you actually became half-human, half-demon for power. What a waste of such a good appearance!”
Even though the people from the Heavenly Realm had seen much and were knowledgeable, the thought that Shangguan Xi’er transformed into a half-human, half-demon for strength stirred discontent in their hearts.
Shangguan Xi’er spoke pitifully, “My Lords, it is not that I wished to become half-human, half-demon; I was forced by others. I was originally the Empress of Piao Miao Palace on the Tianwu Continent, the foremost among humans. However, the Demon Tribe has been intent on taking our Tianwu Continent, but they have not succeeded, as they are suppressed by the Heavenly Dao on this continent.
To break free from the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, they thought of a most evil method…” At this point, tears suddenly streamed down the corners of Shangguan Xi’er's eyes as she gritted her teeth in anger, “Their method was to use our human flesh and combine it with their demonic energy, seeking out a commonality between the rules of the two continents to eliminate the rejection from the Heavenly Dao.”
“At that time, they needed test subjects, and since I was the foremost among humans in the Tianwu Continent and a peak Martial God, they sought me out, secretly imprisoning me and taking control of my Piao Miao Palace, doing evil in the Tianwu Continent.”
