Chapter 823: Divine Embryo (2/2)

Her power was immense right now. No one in this land could stop her, not even the heretical king.

Luofu wanted to resist but the cultivation disparity was too much. She could only watch the death of her child.

“Boom!” A violet energy inside her stomach looked like the burning of a divine black. It destroyed Supreme’s attack and surrounded Luofu, pushing Supreme away.

One could see a small yet magical vessel inside the violet light, the size of a leaf on an ocean. There was an embryo on deck engulfed in chaos - impossible to see.

Both women became frightened by this strange phenomenon.

The violet energy then receded back and disappeared from sight.

“It’s really a divine embryo?” Supreme murmured.

“I believe I saw an equivalent artifact, only a divine embryo can have this.” Long Luofu rubbed her stomach with happiness on her face. However, she quickly hid this expression from Supreme.

Supreme pondered for a bit, moving her glance between Luofu and the horizon. Her eyes kept on shifting back and forth. After a while, she smiled and said: “This is a blessing to the royal clan, a sign of prosperity for Jin.”

She changed her tone too quickly.

“What do you mean, Empress?” Luofu asked.

“We have stopped the coalition but still suffered grievous losses. Instability is still there. Now, the coming of this divine embryo shows that this is the will of heaven. Everyone else must submit.” Supreme said.

“You wish to spread this news?” Luofu was smart enough to understand right away.

“Everyone would know that the emperor is pregnant before marriage in that case. The royal clan can’t handle this blow to its reputation. We can just leak certain things, just that the one pregnant can’t be you.” Supreme smirked.

Luofu thought that the empress’ goal wasn’t this symbol. She certainly had ulterior motives.

“Plus, how is Feng Feiyun going to run from us after hearing this?” The empress added.

I knew it. Luofu thought.

Huang Feng Ridge, Grand Southern Prefecture.

Feiyun was still surprised at the information given to him by Housekeeper Liu. Perhaps the truth would only come out after meeting his mother or Shui Yueting.

He hoped that it was only a coincidence.

“Grandpa Liu, is there another way out of this land other than the portal from Sacred Spirit Palace?” Feiyun asked.

“The lady created a portal formation outside of Jade Pavilion Station before. It can transport someone to the western border of Central Dynasty. Then from there, there’s a worm-hole leading to the demons’ territory.” Housekeeper Liu elaborated.

He quickly added next: “However, the lady hopes for you to train in the humans’ kingdom. Don’t return to Timeworn before reaching Heaven’s Emergence or there’ll be a disaster waiting. In fact, don’t go there even after reaching this realm.”

“Why?” Feiyun didn’t understand.

“The lady didn’t say why, but it must have something to do with the clan.” Housekeeper Liu paused for a moment before answering.

He didn’t tell Feiyun the real reason - that humans and demons were different. Half-blood had no chance of reaching Heaven’s Emergence regardless of how talented they were.

That’s why powerful demons forbade their descendants from marrying humans. Nothing good would come from it.

Housekeeper Liu didn’t want to hurt Feiyun’s confidence so he hid the truth.

Of course, if Feiyun could actually destroy this curse with his talents, then no one in the clan would dare to utter a single word of opposition then.

Feiyun naturally knew about this phenomenon. If his mother had this condition, there must be a big challenge waiting for him in Timeworn.

He himself also believed in the eternal feud between demons and humans. Shui Yueting killed him in his previous life.
