From Princess in the Cold Palace to Empress in Heaven

But generally speaking, the degree of adaptation is generally between 20% and 80%. For example, the Demon Emperor is 60%, while the Emperor Dongji has been integrating the world source for a longer time and has a higher degree of adaptation, reaching the highest value of 80%!

Xiao Minghuang looked at the boundary source in front of him and found that this white ball of light occasionally emitted a hint of decay, as if it had lost its vitality after years of baptism. This situation often means that this boundary source is weakening!

The reason why the source of the world is called the source of the world is because it contains the most essential power of the world. When it begins to weaken, it means that the world is about to decline!

It is obvious that the origin of the Southern Wilderness Realm has reached the brink of complete decay. It will probably not take an era, but at most a hundred years, for it to completely decline!

By then, the world will collapse, the way of heaven will wither, the source of the world will completely lose its spirituality, and turn into an eternally silent star, abandoned by the avenue of the universe, sliding towards the outer edge, the boundless, dark and deep universe, no one knows when it will stop, and no one knows when it will end.

The stars are waiting, waiting for the day in the future when the person who will restart the boundless universe and play the song of the stars' rebirth as predicted by the stars will come.

At this moment, the source of the Southern Wilderness suddenly flickered, as if speaking to Xiao Minghuang.

"After fusion, you will gain the most powerful strength, but your life span will also be reduced by 99%. If you cannot significantly replenish the origin of the world within a hundred years, you will perish along with the world!"

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang fell silent, her eyes slightly narrowed, as if she was hesitating about something.

After a moment, she said firmly: "100%!"

"Give me 100% of your strength, and I promise that one day I will be among the gods and ascend to the sky!"

She raised her eyes to look at Jieyuan and spoke slowly.

The Way of Heaven is not a living being. He does not use the language and words of any living being in the world, but He can understand the language and words of any living being, allowing any living being to know and understand His meaning.

He knew that once he gave up everything of himself, if the creature in front of him did not do the same, then he would not even have the chance to turn into a star and wait for the next day.

Therefore, after hearing Xiao Minghuang's words, it fell into silence for a long time.

Xiao Minghuang waited patiently.

After a long time, the source of the world trembled slightly, emitting a dazzling bright light. It slowly fell from mid-air and landed on the platform in front of Xiao Minghuang, just like a blooming flower, crystal clear, and blooming with dazzling and gorgeous brilliance.

"World Source Flower!"

Seeing this, Xiao Minghuang was immediately delighted. She knew that Jieyuan agreed to her request.

Then, she stretched out her jade hand and lightly touched the World Origin Flower. A cool touch came over her, refreshing her heart, as if her entire soul was cleansed - this is the most essential substance in the world, and also the condensation of the origin of the world.

Xiao Minghuang closed her eyes and sensed it. She knew that as long as she mastered the power in the World Source Flower, she would be able to truly gain the blessing of the origin of the world. Then, when facing the Demon Emperor and the Emperor of Dongji, she would be able to deal with them calmly.

However, this is all for the future.

Then, she drove away all the distracting thoughts in her mind one by one, held her breath, sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and the air around her surged, and vaguely, there were mysterious and complex runes flowing.

"World Source Flower, Melt!"

Xiao Minghuang murmured in a low voice, and in an instant, the light of the World Source Flower increased greatly, as if it was about to burn, emitting a heart-pounding aura fluctuation.

At the same time, the world source flower suddenly exploded, splitting into millions of wisps of milky white mist.

Mist spread out and instantly enveloped Xiao Minghuang, wrapping her up.

However, the power of the Jieyuan Flower is not limited to the mist, but also penetrates into Xiao Minghuang's body along the mist.

Under this penetration, Xiao Minghuang felt that all the pores on his body were dilated, and a strong power was nourishing every inch of his flesh and blood, making him become stronger and stronger!

She even felt that her own blood had turned golden, like a piece of jade, emitting a hazy luster.

And in her Zifu Cave Heaven, huge waves were set off, the waves crashed against the shore, and the water was surging. Countless avenue runes intertwined, constructing an almost real little world.

This is the power of the world source merging into her body, transforming her Purple Mansion Cave Heaven, and pushing her to a higher level...

Boom!

Suddenly, there was a violent vibration in the Purple Mansion Cave Heaven, as if a mighty pressure was sweeping out.

A wisp of golden mist was brewing. As soon as it appeared, it brought with it an unparalleled power that surpassed all living beings, which shocked Xiao Minghuang.

"Is this... fairy energy?"

Xiao Minghuang was shocked and couldn't believe it.

Although she had never seen a real immortal, she had seen many earthly immortals, and even killed some with her own hands, such as the Blood Demon Ancestor, the three servants of the Demon Emperor, and even the Zhenwu earthly immortal.

But no matter who they were, the immortal energy they displayed was not even one percent of the light golden mist in front of them.

She could clearly feel that the weight contained in this wisp of light immortal energy was enough to crush the world and kill all living beings below the level of immortals!

"Are you helping me? Jieyuan?"

Xiao Minghuang murmured in a low voice.

This question is destined to have no response.

at the same time.

As the source of the world merged and immortal energy was generated, Xiao Minghuang keenly realized that his own realm had broken through the limit of the Twelve Tribulations of the Supreme in almost an instant and entered the realm of Earthly Immortal!

However, she did not feel that her life span increased due to her improvement in realm. Instead, she noticed that her remaining life span was greatly reduced.

Originally, with her cultivation level of the Twelve Tribulations of the Supreme Being, her remaining life span was at least a million years.

However, due to the fusion with the dying Southern Wilderness Realm Source, her life span was reduced to a few hundred years, almost the same as the Realm Source.

Just now, when she was merging with the world source, it seemed that in order to help her attract immortal energy, the world source once again consumed the original power. By this calculation, Xiao Minghuang's lifespan was reduced again.

485. Prove your truth and become the emperor, the Lord of the Southern Wilderness!

"My life span...maybe less than twenty years..."

Xiao Minghuang counted with his fingers and was immediately shocked.

Before this, she had never worried about her life span. After all, she was only in her early thirties this year. Even among ordinary mortals, she was definitely not at the age of knowing her destiny, so there was no need for her to think about how to prolong her life.

But at this moment, she really needed to act quickly, lest her lifespan run out before she accomplished her goal.

Xiao Minghuang raised his palm, observed the lines on the palm, and felt the surging power in his body, which seemed a little strange.

She knew that when cultivators from the five directions and one world broke through their realms, there would never be any so-called heavenly tribulations. Even if there were tribulations in certain realms, they were the transformations made by living beings in order to achieve perfection in their own life levels, and were definitely not intentional by heaven.

The only exception is the Emperor's Tribulation!

The so-called imperial calamity is the calamity of integrating the source of the world and proving the truth to become an emperor!

The essence of this calamity is a test from Heaven to those who are in harmony with the Dao, so that they can prove that they are indeed qualified to integrate with the source of the world.

But for Xiao Minghuang, this disaster did not exist.

In the past, those who achieved enlightenment and became emperors had to go through immense hardships, defeating all those in the entire world who were qualified to compete with them, and then, under the witness of Heaven and all living beings, they were reborn and ascended to the supreme position.

It is a glory bestowed upon the victor and a much-desired reward.

But this was not the case for Xiao Minghuang and Nanhuang Jieyuan at this time.

The source of the Southern Wasteland Realm is on the brink of decline. Without Xiao Minghuang's help, it will surely die. Xiao Minghuang needs the power of the source of the Southern Wasteland Realm. The two get what they need, it's just a deal.

Therefore, there is no such thing as a disaster.

However, although there was no disaster, the benefits brought by the fusion of the world source were no less, and even more.

After all, in order to continue its own existence, the Southern Wilderness Heavenly Dao will not retain any spare strength.

At this moment, nearly 30% of the magic power in Xiao Minghuang's Zifu Cave has completed the transformation and evolved into immortal energy, which means that she has reached the peak level of the early stage of Earth Immortal and is only one step away from the middle stage of Earth Immortal.

The realm of earthly immortals is divided according to the degree of fullness of immortal energy in the body. One percent of immortal energy is the minor success of the early stage of earthly immortals, twenty percent of immortal energy is the major success of the early stage of earthly immortals, thirty percent of immortal energy is the peak of the early stage of earthly immortals, forty percent of immortal energy is the minor success of the middle stage of earthly immortals... and so on.

When one reaches the tenth level of immortal energy, it is called the Great Perfection of Earthly Immortal. As long as one succeeds in condensing the immortal fetus and evolving the small world, one can completely transform and turn a mortal into an immortal!

Once upon a time, these words were nothing more than the ravings of a fool, but at this moment, they have become something that will definitely happen in the not too distant future!

"Whoo~"

After a long time, Xiao Minghuang exhaled and slowly opened his eyes.

Her eyes are as bright as stars, deep and quiet, with a soul-stirring beauty.

After integrating the power of the origin of the world, her appearance became more refined and perfect. Her every move seemed to be in harmony with the heaven and earth. There was an inexplicable mysterious rhythm, and invisible majesty emerged naturally.

There were faint Taoist patterns lingering on her body, as illusory as a dream bubble, and the specific appearance could not be seen clearly, but when Xiao Minghuang looked over, he could sense that there were silk threads hanging down from the void, connecting himself with the heaven and earth.

This thread is the connection between the Lord of the World and the origin of the world. No one else can perceive it except the Lord himself.

After a moment, Xiao Minghuang retracted his gaze and murmured in a low voice:

"Now that we have finished our work here, it is time to go back and settle the affairs of the Southern Wilderness..."

After saying that, she thought about it and disappeared on the spot.

As she left, the entire island collapsed and was eventually annihilated in the turbulence of the void.

......

Southern Wilderness.

Central Demon City.

As the most important city in the Central Demon State, the Central Demon City has a rather simple and ancient architectural style, with black towers towering into the clouds, reaching from the sky to the earth.

This magic city covers a vast area and is the core of the entire Central Demon State. It is a place that countless practitioners yearn for.

Countless monks walked among the streets and markets, creating a bustling and noisy scene.

Suddenly, a vast aura burst out from the center of the Demon City, which is the location of the Central Demon Palace. It spread like a tide and enveloped the entire Demon City.

"Huh? What's going on?"

"This aura is so strong!"

"Is it Lord Demon? What happened?"

On the streets of the Central Demon City, many monks who were walking stopped, with shock written all over their faces.

The aura they felt was too strong! So strong that they couldn't even look directly at it.

Only the invincible Demon Lord in their minds possesses such power!

"Why do I feel...something is wrong?"

"I once had the honor of meeting the Lord Demon. Although this aura is powerful, it seems a little different..."

Soon, someone noticed the abnormality of the aura and couldn't help but frown and think about it.

"You know nothing. This is called tyranny. How can you guess the power of the Demon Lord?"

"Shut up, this is the power of the Demon Lord, who dares to make random guesses?"

"That's right, the Lord Demon has great power and might, how can a humble cultivator like you imagine that?

Just as everyone was talking about it.

A tiny figure slowly rose from the central magic palace, suspended in the air, overlooking the entire magic city from a high vantage point.

Her whole body was wrapped in a hazy glow, and her slender figure was vaguely visible. She had a pair of dazzling golden eyes, looking down at everything and the sky. She was surrounded and protected by the stars, emitting a mysterious and majestic power, like a true empress descending to the world.

The moment this figure appeared, the whole world seemed to submit to her. She was like an eternal star, containing unspeakable greatness, shining on the heavens and the worlds, eclipsing the sun and the moon. Thousands of stars seemed to be attracted by her eyes, surrounding her and standing there, as if the whole world was supported by her.

Strands of extremely pure spiritual energy emanated from her body and entwined around her, making her look extremely holy, like a blazing sun in the sky, illuminating the entire Central Demon City and dispelling the haze in the darkness of the night.

Even the nearly barren land of Southern Wilderness regained its vitality in an instant.

At this moment, the entire Central Demon City fell into a brief silence.

"this......"

Countless monks opened their eyes wide, staring blankly at the figure, as if they were in a daze and unable to extricate themselves.

Under the gazes of countless people, that figure opened her red lips and spoke calmly. Her voice was like jade beads falling on a plate or like the ringing of a huge bell, spreading throughout the world.

"You all, listen up!"

This sound rang in the ears of every monk like the morning bell and evening drum, making everyone's heart beat wildly.

"I am the Lord of the Southern Wilderness World. I control the origin of the world, act on behalf of the heavens, and dominate everything. From now on, you are all my subjects!"

Xiao Minghuang's voice was flat and cold, without any ripples, but it revealed his arrogance and majesty.

Her golden skirt fluttered, and as her sleeves moved, rays of light lingered, as if the Milky Way had fallen from the sky, casting down billions of rays of light and enveloping the entire Central Magic City.

For a moment, auspicious colors rose above the Demon City, divine light blossomed, the fragrance of elixirs filled the air, and natural treasures appeared.

The entire Central Demon City seemed to have entered some strange state. Countless runes flickered and intertwined, outlining a mysterious and extraordinary vision of rosy clouds.

The range of this strange glow was getting wider and wider, gradually spreading to a million miles in radius, and even covering the entire Southern Wilderness world!

All cultivators within the range covered by the strange rosy clouds will experience sudden enlightenment, and natural treasures will continue to appear. There is no doubt that this is a great opportunity for all cultivators in the entire Southern Wilderness world!
