I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1426

Chapter 1426: Chapter 553: Chen Mo Manifests Divinity, Slays the Dragon and Ascends the Throne!

"Mom!"

Zhu Wujiang watched this scene, biting his lip hard, his eyes somewhat hot.

"It’s okay, Mom can be resurrected after death, don’t be too sad, you’ll see her again someday," Chen Mo comforted with his mouth, although he was secretly wondering inside.

Zhu Jiuyou, once the overlord of Jiu Zhou, couldn’t possibly be so fragile inside. Could it be that she saw through something, leading her to choose self-destruction?

Perhaps it was an illusion, but before her death, Zhu Jiuyou glanced at him through the flames, her eyes seemingly revealing a hint of cunning...

I feel like I’ve been tricked...

Zhu Wujiang remained silent for a long time, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, looked firmly at Chen Mo, and said in a low voice, "Don’t forget what you promised me. Don’t make me wait too long..."

With that said, he raised his hand, tore open space, and vanished suddenly.

Watching that figure disappear into the void, Chen Mo sighed and murmured to himself, "In this world, what goes around comes around."

"What does she mean by that? What exactly did you promise her?" Yu Youhan’s voice suddenly echoed from within the Spirit Platform.

Chen Mo shivered slightly, almost forgetting that the Empress was still within him, he curled his lips and said, "Didn’t I fuse Dragon Blood? She wants to take some essence from me for the Dragon Clan’s legacy, to have a deep and thorough exchange."

"Is it that simple?" Yu Youhan was a bit skeptical.

"Of course, I can swear every word is true," Chen Mo said solemnly.

"Alright," Yu Youhan said, "Then, when you two have your exchange, I’ll go along too."

"Huh?" Chen Mo’s expression froze.

"What, inconvenient?"

"Con... convenient..."

"..."

With Zhu Jiuyou’s "fall", the Void Profound Slaughter lost its target and subsequently dissipated.

Looking at the devastated scene in the city, Chen Mo raised the Dragon Marrow Sword once more and swung it lightly.

Boom—

Red Dragon Qi surged out, cutting a dazzling arc, and ruthlessly slashed at the four stone steles in the city.

In an instant, the ground shook and mountains quaked!

The Blood Decree Stele, which had condensed Da Yuan’s Destiny, shattered with a bang!

The accumulated abundant Evil Qi, which had been accumulated for seven hundred years, spread out, and was instantly absorbed by the Nine Tribulations Reincarnation, continuously pouring into Chen Mo’s body.

As the inscriptions on the ninth loop lit up, breaking through the final Heavenly Punishment Tribulation, surviving Nine Tribulations while remaining unscathed, meant that Chen Mo’s physical form had reached the utmost limit of this world!

This undying and indestructible divine body was capable of supporting him in fusing with the Tao Origin and smoothly stepping into transcendence!

Moments later, a system prompt flashed:

[Special Event: Breaking Formation, Completed.]

[Evaluation: Excellent.]

[Obtained Exotic Item: Dao Essence Crystal *3.]

[Obtained Array Map: Ninefold Mysterious Dome Refining Heaven Array.]

Before it was over, several lines of text appeared before him again:

[Special Event: Dragon Slaying, Completed.]

[Obtained Cultivation Technique: "Heavenly Destiny Nine Chapters."]

[Obtained Title: Ascendant.]

[Ziwei Star shines to steady the cosmic order, ascending like a dragon to rule the eight directions. Winds and clouds gather within the imperial heart, the grand emperor’s enterprise shines throughout the ages.]

"Tsk..."

"Doesn’t this appraisal suggest a subtle nudge for me to don the emperor’s robe?"

Chen Mo stroked his chin as he pondered silently.

Now that Sikong Che had perished and Zhu Jiuyou as a hidden threat had been temporarily resolved, with these two greatest threats gone, the next step was none other than to reorganize the court, stabilize the situation, and logically take over the power.

In the face of absolute strength, this wasn’t a difficult task.

However, considering his current realm, he no longer needed to rely on national destiny to prove the Tao and transcend with the Empress.

Ascending the throne would instead be a constraint for him.

He didn’t want to be bogged down in paperwork all day and play political games with those ministers, but he had to give an explanation to the Empress... Ideally, finding a solution that satisfies all parties.

Yu Youhan’s Divine Soul withdrew, returning to her own body, and she asked, "Now that this matter is settled, what do you plan to do next?"

Chen Mo pondered for a moment and said, "Allow me to think it over once more, let’s resolve the current matters first."

"Mm," Yu Youhan nodded, saying no more.

Having experienced this catastrophe, the dead and wounded in Tiandu City were countless, and as far as the eye could see, mourning was everywhere, a heart-wrenching sight.

"Oh well, who told me to have a kind heart?"

Even from afar, the resemblance to the statue in the ancestral temple was unmistakable.

"Is it really Duke Zhenyue?!"

Facing the Black Dragon coiled in the firmament, Duke Zhenyue slowly raised his giant sword and slashed down from mid-air—

Clang—

The sound of metal clashing rang out, and dazzling light burst forth, too bright for anyone to behold.

When the light faded, the Black Dragon’s body began to disintegrate, turning to ash in the raging flames.

The calamity looming above also dissipated, and the bright sunlight pierced through the clouds, along with the delicate spring rain falling to the earth.

As the rain touched the skin, it permeated the body through the pores. The woman’s bloodied left arm healed rapidly, bones reconnected, and flesh regenerated. In a matter of moments, she was completely healed!

At the same time, surprised exclamations rose from the streets:

"My leg! My leg grew back!"

"Father, you’re awake?!"

"It’s Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen has shown his divine power!"

"Wahh, if only you could have held on a bit longer, my dear..."

Some cried, some laughed, the relief of surviving the calamity intertwined with the pain of losing loved ones, reflecting the true visage of a chaotic world.

"It is Duke Zhenyue!"

"Thank you, Duke Zhenyue, for saving us!"

"Thank you, Duke Zhenyue, for saving us!"

The people kneeled, knocking their heads on the ground repeatedly. Their devout cries converged into a roar that echoed through every corner of the Capital City.

At this very moment, Chen Mo, revealing his divine presence, wore a faintly changed expression as the overwhelming Power of Seven Emotions surged into his Spirit Platform. Even with the strength of his Divine Soul, he couldn’t refine it in time!

"Not good!"

Caught off guard, his brain overloaded, his eyes rolled back, and he began to fall.

Yu Youhan, quick on her feet, caught him immediately. Seeing the scattered light dust around, she suddenly understood.

She had suffered from these emotional impurities before and had caused quite the embarrassment in front of the Empress... If the red ling were to emerge now, it would be disastrous!

After thinking it over, she carried Chen Mo and swiftly left the place.
