My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

The Blood of True Demons, crafted from the essence of formidable Demon Clan beings in the Divine Realm, each drop laden with unimaginable power and the profound insights of Divine Realm experts.

Infusing one's body with the Blood of True Demons initiates an ordeal of indescribable agony, emanating from the flesh itself. It's akin to the relentless gnawing of blades upon the marrow.

Every absorption of the potency of the Blood of True Demons brings forth such terrifying torment.

Even Niu Laosan, known for his resilience, donned the mask of anguish in these circumstances.

Agony!

Unbearable agony!

Niu Laosan felt every pore screaming in protest, straining to keep his eyes wide open, fearing they might never reopen once shut.

Though considered a formidable presence among the Bull Demon Clan, his constitution appeared frail before the might of the Blood of True Demons.

The relentless surges of the Blood of True Demons repeatedly scoured his meridians, each cleansing bringing forth a sensation akin to unlocking the gates to a new realm.

For the first time, he found physical torment too much to bear.

"Niu Laosan, hold fast to your spirit!"

"The infusion has only just begun!"

At this moment, Niu Biao's reminder echoed by the blood pool.

Niu Laosan's spirit stiffened. He hadn't anticipated enduring such agony, yet there was no turning back now.

"Elder, grant me strength!"

Niu Laosan looked to Gu Lan, recalling the first time he witnessed the prowess of Gu Lan's doppelgänger. The brilliance of that sword remained etched in his memory.

Since then, his regard for Gu Lan had oscillated between reverence and dread, a sentiment that continually fueled his courage and determination to better himself.

Now, as he gazed upon Gu Lan, that same courage and determination welled up within him.

I'll give it my all!

To succeed or to perish!

"I refuse to believe that I, Niu Laosan, will be tortured to death by a mere drop of true demon blood!"

By his side, Niu Biao, ever vigilant in protecting Niu Laosan, observed his state with satisfaction.

When he himself underwent the infusion of the Blood of True Demons, his cries were louder than anyone's, yet he endured to the end.

The transformation wrought by the Blood of True Demons was not merely physical but also extended to the comprehension of spiritual realms, marking the inception of true suffering.

Even as a bystander, Niu Biao seemed to recall past tribulations, his eyes betraying a hint of perturbation.

Meanwhile, Gu Lan observed the pool of Blood of True Demons.

He perceived its limited utility in enhancing strength; its true purpose lay in elevating comprehension of realms.

From each drop of the Blood of True Demons, Gu Lan sensed the power of domains, the essence that endowed them with such pure energy.

Within this essence lay not only the power of domains but also a higher order of force—the key from the Emperor Realm to the Divine Realm.

Through countless tomes from the Immortal Realm to the Demon Realm, Gu Lan learned of a force called the primordial essence: fire, water, sword, blade, art—all possessed the essence. Mastery of this essence was the gateway to the Divine Realm.

Sensing the power within each drop of Blood of True Demons, Gu Lan felt countless primordial forces pulsating, safeguarding the last vestiges of vitality within the Bull Demon Clan ancestors, granting them the hope of awakening in the distant future.

Bang!

At that moment, Niu Laosan's qi and blood surged wildly. Blood trickled from his nose, his eyes veined with crimson, yet filled with joy.

"I've broken through!"

"Emperor Spirit Realm!"

Niu Laosan clenched his fist, reveling in the surging power within him, overwhelmed with excitement.

Beside him, Niu Biao wore a face of contentment. The lad might be a bit simple, but his honesty and resilience had not disappointed the painstaking efforts invested in him.

"Do not hasten to rejoice," Niu Biao cautioned.

"Remnants of the Blood of True Demons still linger within you. Continue to sit and refine, lest you squander the ancestral gift bestowed upon you."

Upon hearing Niu Biao's reminder, Niu Laosan immediately complied, continuing to refine the residual energy within his body.

Soon, he entered a state of deep concentration, much to Niu Biao's relief.

The lad was obedient, which pleased Niu Biao, yet he couldn't shake off his concerns.

If the future leadership of the Bull Demon Clan was entrusted to Niu Laosan, he feared the lad might be easily deceived and left with nothing.

Thus, Niu Biao turned his gaze to Gu Lan.

Until now, he hadn't discerned Gu Lan's cultivation level.

However, judging by Gu Lan's demeanor toward Emperor Feng Yang, he sensed that the relationship between Gu Lan and Emperor Feng Yang transcended the usual boundaries of junior and senior.

Their status might well be on equal footing.

As the Grand Elder of the Bull Demon Clan, Niu Biao recognized the importance of befriending Gu Lan by bringing him to the forbidden grounds and subterranean tombs of the clan.

Only through such alliances could he truly be at ease with Niu Laosan leading the Bull Demon Clan in the future.

"Blood of True Demons, congeal! Congeal!"

Niu Biao invoked a secret technique, once again condensing two drops of Blood of True Demons. He presented them before Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan.

"Esteemed guests, this is the Blood of True Demons. By refining and absorbing it, those below the fifth stage of the Emperor Realm may have a chance to advance their realms," Niu Biao explained.

"As you have assisted our current young chieftain of the Bull Demon Clan on multiple occasions, consider this a token of gratitude. Please accept it."

"Elder, you're too kind," Gu Lan demurred. "The Blood of True Demons is too precious. Without merit, one should not receive a reward. We cannot accept this Blood of True Demons."

This act of kindness was not trivial, and Gu Lan was unwilling to accept it without reason.

"I understand the Lord's concerns," Gu Lan continued.

"Please rest assured, the Bull Demon Clan will not be taken advantage of. As long as Lord accepts the Blood of True Demons, I promise to assist the Bull Demon Clan once in times of crisis, safeguarding a trace of its bloodline."

Seeing Gu Lan's refusal, Niu Biao's determination in his choice grew stronger. Someone who declined such benefits at their doorstep was undoubtedly resolute. Such a person's promises held value.

Gazing at the hope in Niu Biao's eyes and the noble yet broken figures within the blood pool, Gu Lan pondered for a moment before finally nodding in agreement.

Since he had a favorable impression of the Bull Demon Clan and had intentions of aiding them anyway...

Besides, he also wanted to ascertain if the Blood of True Demons truly possessed primordial power.

Furthermore, its ability to enhance realm strength would greatly benefit his wife.

Regardless of the reason, Gu Lan found no further grounds for refusal.

"Wife, after absorption, remember to carefully feel the power contained within," Gu Lan instructed, refraining from absorbing the Blood of True Demons himself and instead safeguarding Mu Yuyan, allowing her to prepare for absorption.

Without hesitation, Mu Yuyan nodded in response.

With a gentle touch, she absorbed a drop of Blood of True Demons into her body.

Soon, powerful and pure forces were successively refined by Mu Yuyan.

From start to finish, not a single furrow appeared on Mu Yuyan's brow, nor did she display any hint of pain.

Only when she opened her beautiful eyes did her aura abruptly change.

Niu Biao, stunned, involuntarily twitched his mouth. "This... this absorption is already complete?!"

The empress nodded lightly.

Niu Biao turned to look at Niu Laosan, the most talented among the young generation of the Bull Demon Clan, who was writhing in such agony. He was speechless!

Damn, is this for real?

This was the first time he had seen someone able to refine Blood of True Demons so quickly and without any pain!

Since when did the physique of the Human Clan become even stronger than that of the Bull Demon Clan?
