Just born, not familiar with the process.
"HAHAHAHA... I understand now!"
"Su Qingshuang's child has been born!"
The Demon Attendant's words snapped everyone back to their senses!
The black lightning filling the sky was originally a phenomenon triggered by the impending birth of an Emperor's child.
And this most terrifying thunderbolt was the harbinger of his true arrival!
At this very moment, that new life had undoubtedly come into the world!
In an instant, Jiang Wu Xu's face lit up with excitement.
A warm smile involuntarily curved his lips.
The little rascal was born!
At that moment, he longed to be by his wife's side, to say "thank you for your hard work."
To hold Jiang Yuqiong in his arms, and together with Su Qingshuang, gaze upon their little one, their family of three basking in the joys of kinship.
But right then, the Demon Attendant's wild laughter echoed relentlessly in his ears.
"Su Qingshuang has finally reached her weakest point!"
"Jiang Wu Xu, I'll go take Su Qingshuang's head first, letting you live a few moments longer!"
The Demon Attendant declared coldly.
Gripping his dark-gleaming longsword, no sooner had he spoken than his figure flickered, streaking toward the small courtyard like a rainbow across the sky!
He was aiming straight for Su Qingshuang!
Seeing this, Jiang Wu Xu's eyes nearly split with fury!
The others' hearts pounded wildly.
Everyone understood that when the Frost Emperor gave birth to her child, it was her most vulnerable moment.
A Quasi-Emperor launching a sudden attack—she might truly be unable to withstand it!
In an instant, Jiang Wu Xu's eyes turned bloodshot!
"You dare, fiend!"
He roared ferociously, like a wounded beast howling in rage.
"Crack!"
The terrifying soundwave tore through the sky, revealing a long, narrow spatial rift!
Jiang Wu Xu's black hair whipped wildly!
Su Qingshuang and Jiang Yuqiong were his beloved wife and flesh-and-blood child.
He, Jiang Wu Xu, would never tolerate anyone causing them the slightest harm!
Even if it meant death, he had to stop the Demon Attendant from reaching that courtyard!
Jiang Wu Xu sprang into action!
Spear in hand, he charged toward the Demon Attendant in a frenzied assault.
But at that moment, over a dozen red-robed figures attacked together, intercepting him mid-air.
Blood light bloomed from their demonic blades, surrounding him completely, blocking his path to interfere.
Endless demonic energy surged and clashed, turning the void into chaos, with terrifying spatial rifts crisscrossing like gruesome wounds, utterly horrifying.
Jiang Wu Xu's eyes bulged, his hair standing on end, his killing intent shaking the heavens!
"Those who block me die!"
He roared loudly.
With a wave of his hand, the Fire God Furnace came whistling forth, pouring out endless blazing flames, forcing all the red-robed figures to retreat in fear.
Then, with a fierce thrust of his spear, he struck the figure in front of him, shattering their body instantly!
Jiang Wu Xu carved a bloody path, rushing toward the Demon Attendant!
Besides him, Emperor Batian, He Mengchang, and Jian Lingtian also broke free from their entanglements in a short time, launching an assault together toward the Demon Attendant!
"Kill!"
The mighty imperial weapon and sacred artifacts unleashed terrifying divine power, as if splitting heaven and earth, crashing fiercely toward the Demon Attendant, forcing him to pause and respond.
Seizing this chance, the four surged forward, positioning themselves in his path.
"HAHAHA..."
"With just you lot, how can you stop me?"
The Demon Attendant's laughter shook the heavens as he raised his demon sword, slashing down swiftly!
A dark, misty sword light struck out, hitting both the Sacred Golden Jade Cauldron and the Fu Long Divine Dynasty's Imperial Seal simultaneously.
The two sacred artifacts shuddered as if struck by lightning, cracks appearing amid their violent buzzing and trembling, before flying back and smashing into two mountains thousands of miles away!
"Crack!"
The Demon Attendant's sword momentum rose again, instantly forcing Jiang Wu Xu and Jian Lingtian back!
Both spat out mouthfuls of blood, their auras in disarray, their strength plummeting rapidly.
"HAHAHAHA... Jiang Wu Xu, don't rush to your death!"
"I'll surely fulfill your wish, sending your family of three to reunite below!"
The Demon Attendant laughed uncontrollably, his demeanor arrogant, exuding an invincible air!
Jian Lingtian, He Mengchang, and Emperor Batian endured their pain, attacking repeatedly.
Jiang Wu Xu, his black hair disheveled, eyes blood-red, fought like a madman!
The Fire God Furnace darted through the void, constantly repelling the red-robed figures desperately charging forward.
This battle had reached its most critical juncture!
As long as Su Qingshuang remained safe and could recover even a fraction of her strength, there might be a turning point!
Thus, they threw everything they had into stopping the Demon Attendant, no matter the cost!
Yet, even with these four immensely powerful Saint Ancestors united, they couldn't truly halt his advance.
The silver-robed figure stepped through the void, descending as if on a celestial ladder, each step bringing him closer to the courtyard!
Like moths to a flame, Jiang Wu Xu and the others were struck by the Demon Attendant's light again and again, yet they charged forward fearlessly each time.
Every one of them was gravely injured, their robes soaked with blood.
The battles elsewhere were just as intense!
The members of the Holy Lands and Great Sects all sought to break through the blockade and come to their aid.
However, the Eternal Blood Prison's array of eighty-one Saint Ancestors was simply too formidable, hemming them in completely.
Before long, another Saint Ancestor from Huangchu Holy Land and one from the Xianwen Sect fell, torn apart by the red-robed figures, their blood and souls consumed, their deaths gruesome.
Under Emperor Wushuang, the War King of Fu Long Divine Dynasty, the massive black tiger, as large as a hill, was swept by the battle's shockwaves, letting out a mournful cry before crashing into a ravine, its fate unknown.
In a distant hidden space,
Ji Cunye, the Emperor of Jinghong, and Mu Nantian watched all this, their eyes flickering with emotion.
This battle was too tragic, stirring the heart.
"It's almost time!"
"Jiang Wu Xu and the others can't hold back the Eternal Blood Prison!"
"That Quasi-Emperor will soon storm into Su Qingshuang's residence!"
"It won't be long before we see the outcome!"
Mu Nantian murmured to himself.
Beside him, Ji Cunye's pupils shimmered with endless waves.
Everything was unfolding exactly as he had anticipated!
Xuanshuang Grotto-Heaven couldn't withstand the Eternal Blood Prison's assault, let alone eradicate it.
"Everyone, prepare to strike!"
"Once Su Qingshuang and that Quasi-Emperor fight to mutual destruction, we must seize the opportunity firmly."
Ji Cunye's voice was cold as he spoke.
The others present all rallied their spirits, ready to act at any moment.
At this time, within Xuanshuang Grotto-Heaven, Grandmother Xi's excited voice rang out in the room.
"He's born, he's born!"
With trembling hands, she lifted a naked infant from the bedding.
This infant, of course, was Jiang Yuqiong.
At that moment, the blinding light before his eyes had dissipated.
Opening his eyes, he saw a gaunt yet kindly old woman holding him.
No need to guess—this must be Grandmother Xi.
"Just born—should I cry a few times?"
Jiang Yuqiong blinked, his eyes darting around, feeling a bit uncertain.
Uh...
I'm just a newbie.
This is my first time being born with full consciousness—I don't know the rules.
Should I just let it slide, or go through the motions and cry a little for show?
Sorry, sorry, I've made a fool of myself in front of everyone.
