Chapter 570: The Birth of Little Qiongqi!

"

Phew...

"

Ling Feng let out a long breath and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. His entire body had been tense while facing the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor, and now that he could finally relax, he nearly collapsed to the ground.

Indeed, a peak-level demon emperor is terrifying!

"You really know how to put on a show, kid!" the despicable donkey strode forward with a big grin, saying, "You actually managed to bluff your way through that.

"

Hehe,

it's a good thing that that ice wolf ran off quickly. Otherwise, this divine beast would have smashed him with my Melon-Smashing Fist, leaving him without any descendants!"

The despicable donkey let out a weird laugh, acting as if it was truly due to his divine mercy that the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor was spared.

Ling Feng rolled his eyes and ignored him, turning instead to look at the Qiongqi Demon Emperor, who was laying on the ground nearby. His injuries were so severe that he couldn't even maintain his demon form and had reverted to his true form—a massive qiongqi demonic beast.

"Despicable Donkey, give him some demonic essence," Ling Feng said, glancing at the despicable donkey.

"With injuries this severe, the Qiongqi Demon Emperor is done for," the despicable donkey remarked as he casually approached. "Even if I give him some demonic qi to keep him alive, he'll only last for about six months."

The despicable donkey looked reluctant, but seeing the seriousness in Ling Feng's expression, he grumbled, "Fine, fine, just this once!"

The despicable donkey sat down beside the Qiongqi Demon Emperor, crossed his legs, and infused a thick stream of demonic essence into him. This helped stabilize the Qiongqi Demon Emperor's condition slightly, allowing him to regain his demon form.

His face was deathly pale as he looked up at Ling Feng, expressing his gratitude with broken words. "Long... Long Fei..."

"Don't speak."

Ling Feng sighed softly. As the despicable donkey had said, even if a demon emperor expert provided him with demonic essence daily to prolong his life, the Qiongqi Demon Emperor would only live for about six months at most.

Though Ling Feng was skilled in medicine, the differences between demons and humans were significant. Even though they had humanoid forms, a demon's bones, tendons, and acupoints were vastly different from those of humans.

Even if Ling Feng tried to treat him, his chances of success were slim.

"No, I must finish what I have to say."

The Qiongqi Demon Emperor took a deep breath as he struggled to stand. His gaze fixed on the king beast egg as he gritted his teeth, saying, "No matter what, I... I must ensure my child is born perfectly."

"Old Qiongqi, you're really risking your life!"

The despicable donkey saw the determination in the Qiongqi Demon Emperor's eyes and couldn't help but exclaim, "In your current state, you might be able to survive for six months. But if you continue to deplete your bloodline source, you might not even live until tomorrow."

"Whether I live for six months or just one day, it makes no difference to me anymore."

The Qiongqi Demon Emperor's gaze was gentle as he looked at the king beast egg. There was no trace of hatred in his eyes—only the deep love of a father.

Perhaps he was truly exhausted. As his life approached its end, he only wanted to use his remaining strength to ensure his child was safely born into this world.

Maybe this was the greatness of a parent's love.

"You..."

The despicable donkey wanted to say something more, but Ling Feng placed a hand on his shoulder and shook his head slightly. "This is Senior Demon Emperor's choice."

"Long Fei, thank you for letting me complete this last task."

The Qiongqi Demon Emperor smiled, though his pale face made the smile look more like a grimace.

Ling Feng clenched his fists, feeling something indescribable in his heart.

At that moment, the Qiongqi Demon Emperor's back seemed slightly hunched, yet it commanded more respect than ever before.

Step by step, he walked to the lotus platform where the king beast egg was placed. No matter what happened during the battle, he had always kept a part of his mind focused on protecting that egg, ensuring it remained unharmed.

A father’s love truly made one invincible.

The Qiongqi Demon Emperor stood before the lotus platform and, using the last of his strength, activated his bloodline source, channeling it into the king beast egg.

This process was undoubtedly excruciating for the Qiongqi Demon Emperor, with each second feeling like an eternity.

Drip...

Drip...

...

Large beads of sweat continuously rolled down the Qiongqi Demon Emperor's trembling body, yet his gaze remained as resolute as ever.

He was at his limit, but his will would be passed down to his child.

For once, the despicable donkey shed his usual carefree demeanor. He paced back and forth anxiously, glancing repeatedly at the king beast egg with growing concern.

Perhaps, in some way, the Qiongqi Demon Emperor's deep fatherly love had touched even this despicable donkey's heart.

"Come on, Senior Demon Emperor!"

At that moment, Ling Feng no longer saw the Qiongqi Demon Emperor as a powerful demon expert, but simply as a father!

A great father!

No one knew how much time had passed before the sound of cracking was heard from the king beast egg.

Accompanied by a flash of golden light, the egg, as large as a watermelon, finally began to break open.

Golden light shot skyward as a being carrying the bloodline of a king beast was finally born into this world.

"It worked!"

Ling Feng smiled with understanding as he felt happy for the Qiongqi Demon Emperor. At the same time, he experienced a strange sensation, as if an inexplicable bond existed between him and this little beast.

Within that golden light, there was even a faint scent of Chaos.

He didn't realize that this little beast had once absorbed a drop of his essence blood, which meant it had a tiny bit of the Blood of the Emperor. Though it was incredibly diluted, it still endowed the beast with a trace of Chaotic Bloodline.

The little beast's body was soft and plump. It had large, lively eyes that curiously surveyed the unfamiliar world as it remained curled up within the remains of its eggshell.

After a while, it stretched its small limbs and began to devour the surrounding eggshells. In the blink of an eye, its body size increased, and tough scales started to cover its form.

Unlike an ordinary qiongqi, the scales on its body were not purely golden; they had a faint hint of blood-red in them. Additionally, there was a unique symbol on its forehead.

Upon closer inspection, one would notice that it was the same divine inscription that appeared when Ling Feng activated his Eye of the Emperor.

Ling Feng's expression shifted slightly. Seeing the divine inscription on the little beast's forehead made his heart skip a beat, but he quickly understood. It must have happened when his blood accidentally dropped onto the king beast egg. The little beast probably absorbed it, merging it into its bloodline.

In other words, this was a Qiongqi with a trace of the Blood of the Emperor in it! And that small trace of the Blood of the Emperor destined it to be extraordinary!

"It has the scent of Chaos!"

The Qiongqi Demon Emperor was moved to tears. "My child is blessed by the heavens! My child is blessed by the heavens!"

With that, his last bit of strength was exhausted, and he fell backward heavily, only to be caught by a firm arm.

"Senior Demon Emperor!" It was Ling Feng's voice.

"My... child..."

The Qiongqi Demon Emperor's gaze remained fixed on the little beast, but his consciousness gradually began to fade.

"Senior!" Ling Feng clenched his fists, biting his lip. "I guess I'll have to try my luck with this desperate measure!"
