The Demon King is back, leading adorable kids on an adventure around the world!

The black dragon's claws stopped a foot away from Luo Tian's head.

The black dragon's eyes, as big as lanterns, were wide open.

The light in the blood-red dragon's eyes quickly dissipated.

Its mouth opened as if it wanted to say something, but it only uttered a few indistinct syllables.

"How...could this be?"

Its voice was weak, like a candle flickering in the wind.

"You are a reincarnated emperor... I hate you..."

"boom!"

The hundred-zhang-long dragon body crashed heavily to the ground, creating a huge ravine hundreds of zhang long and tens of meters deep.

Dust flew everywhere, and gravel flew everywhere.

The ground shook violently, as if it were the end of the world.

The black dragon's life force rapidly dissipated, and it vanished completely a moment later.

His soul and spirit were utterly destroyed; he was dead beyond any hope of survival.

……

Luo Tian hovered in the void, motionless.

His face was as pale as paper, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth.

Then, more and more blood flowed from his nostrils, eyes, and ears.

His body surface was covered with countless tiny cracks.

Blood seeped from the cracks, staining the black robe a dark red.

His current physical body is not yet capable of supporting Emperor-level power.

Forcibly activating the Emperor's Infant and the Dharma Form resulted in a backlash.

Luo Tian lost his balance, swayed, and fell from the sky.

The Emperor-level Nascent Soul above his head transformed into a stream of light and entered his body.

The Emperor-level Dharma Image behind him slowly dissipated, turning into specks of golden light and disappearing into the void.

"dad!……"

Xiao Niannian's voice came from afar, tinged with sobs.

The protective shield shattered, and Xiao Nian Nian transformed into a streak of light and flew through the air.

Ye Qianxue rode a crane, with Li Mengmeng following closely behind on her sword.

Xiao Jin transformed into a golden ray of light and flew to Luo Tian's side, using his body to support him and prevent him from falling further.

"Master! Master!"

Xiao Jin's dragon eyes were filled with worry.

Luo Tian lay on Xiao Jin's back, covered in blood and pale-faced.

He looked at the tearful little face in the sky and forced a smile.

"Niannian... Daddy's alright..."

"Daddy's lying! Daddy bled a lot!"

Little Niannian threw herself onto Luo Tian, ​​her little hands trembling as she wiped the blood from his face.

But the more you wipe, the more there is; you can never wipe it all away.

She cried uncontrollably, her tears falling onto Luo Tian's face.

Ye Qianxue and Li Mengmeng stood aside, tears welling up in their eyes as they looked at Luo Tian, ​​who was covered in injuries.

"Master..."

"I'm fine, just a little bit of backlash."

Luo Tian's voice was weak, but he remained calm.

"Help me up quickly."

Ye Qianxue and Li Mengmeng quickly stepped forward and helped Luo Tian up, one on each side.

Luo Tian sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and regulated his breathing, rapidly circulating the mantra of the "Eternal Undying Body".

Golden spiritual energy circulated within his body, repairing his broken form.

Those fine cracks healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Little Niannian squatted down next to Luo Tian, ​​her little hands tightly gripping the hem of his clothes, not daring to let go.

……

Half an hour later, Luo Tian opened his eyes.

The cracks on his body had all healed, and his complexion had returned to normal.

"dad!"

Little Niannian threw herself into his arms, crying and calling for her father.

Luo Tian held her in his arms and gently patted her back:

"Don't cry, Niannian, Daddy's okay now."

"Daddy lied! Daddy, don't do that again!"

Little Niannian cried so hard she could barely breathe.

Luo Tian smiled, his eyes slightly red:

"Okay, Daddy promises."

Ye Qianxue and Li Mengmeng also knelt to the side, their eyes red.

"Master, you scared us to death..."

Luo Tian glanced at them and said calmly:

"Get up! The path of cultivation is fraught with danger, where life and death hang by a thread."

It's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about.

The two stood up and wiped away their tears.

Luo Tian turned his head and looked at the huge black dragon corpse in the ravine.

"Go and collect the dragon's corpse."

He took out a jade bottle from his storage ring and handed it to Ye Qianxue:

"Dragon blood is a treasure; use this to store it."

"Dragon scales, dragon bones, dragon tendons, dragon essence—all collected."

"Yes, Master!"

The three women approached the dragon's corpse and began to dismember it.

Luo Tian looked at the three women busily working in the distance, and then at the strange phenomenon in the sky that was gradually dissipating.

He twitched his lips; although he paid a price this time, it was worth it.

A black dragon in the Nascent Soul stage is a treasure trove from head to toe.

The Dragon Essence will enhance Nian Nian's cultivation, and the Dragon Scales can be used to refine armor.

Dragon bones can be used to forge magical artifacts, while dragon blood can be used to refine elixirs.

Luo Tian raised his hand, and a cloud of black mist appeared in his palm.

That was the remnant soul of the black dragon, which he imprisoned at the last moment.

"Xiao Jin, come here."

"Owner!"

Little Gold flew over, its dragon eyes fixed on the black mist, filled with longing.

"Swallow it and refine it quickly."

"Thank you, Master!"

Xiao Jin opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing the remnant soul of the black dragon into his stomach.

Its body shone with golden light, and its aura began to rise.

Peak of Golden Core... Perfection of Golden Core...

"boom!"

A powerful aura belonging to the Nascent Soul stage erupted from Xiao Jin's body.

"Master! I've recovered to the Nascent Soul stage!"

Little Gold soared merrily in the air, its dragon roar shaking the heavens.

Luo Tian smiled slightly and closed his eyes.

This trip to the secret realm was very fruitful.

Who knows what dangers and treasures await me next...
