Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2158: 582: Yun Wanshang: Kiss Me (3)

Despite emanating an aura of menace, the Fourth Rank Demon King harbored confidence in its combat prowess.

However, the vanquished Split Wind Beast presented a formidable deterrent, compelling the Demon King to refrain from antagonizing Qian Zhuyan. With a nod, it materialized into a middle-aged man bearing an unpleasant visage, stating, "In that case, this king shall bear witness to the proceedings from here."

Observing the Fourth Rank Demon King's decision to remain uninvolved, Qian Zhuyan inclined his head and resumed his vigil over the Soul-calling Beast undergoing its heavenly tribulation.

The Heavenly Tribulation had, regrettably, inflicted a degree of harm upon the Soul-calling Beast.

One could discern the rampant black mist enveloping it, as tendrils of spectral energy were relentlessly suppressed.

Its sable fur, too, appeared singed and tattered from the fierce onslaught of the Heavenly Tribulation.

But that was the extent of the damage.

In comparison to the prior encounters with the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale and Elder Jingqing, its condition was significantly more favorable.

Not only Lu Changsheng, Qian Zhuyan, and the five Nascent Soul cultivators present on the island, but even the newly arrived Fourth Rank Demon King, observed the Soul-calling Beast's state with a sense of astonishment.

After all, as a Fourth Rank Demon King itself, it had once navigated the trials of the Transformation Heavenly Tribulation and was acutely aware of its inherent dangers.

As the Heavenly Tribulation subsided, the tempestuous winds abated, and the dark tribulation clouds that had obscured the heavens dispersed. In their stead, a vortex, as deep and black as an abyss, materialized, resembling a demonic eye fixed upon the Soul-calling Beast.

A Demonic Tribulation!

Had this transpired previously, Lu Changsheng would have faced such a phenomenon without undue concern. However, having witnessed the tragic demise of Elder Jingqing during a Demonic Tribulation at the Goddess Palace, a palpable sense of unease settled upon him.

The circumstances were simply too abrupt!

This Fourth Rank Heavenly Tribulation befalling Tihun had manifested with alarming speed, affording him insufficient time for preparation.

Fortunately, the assurance Tihun had exuded earlier was not unfounded. In mere moments, the tribulation clouds, akin to a menacing black whirlpool, receded like an ebbing tide, making way for a radiant, rosy luminescence.

"Roar!!!"

Assuming a posture poised for combat, much like a peerless Demon Ape, the Soul-calling Beast unleashed a resounding roar towards the heavens. From its maw, it expelled an unparalleled Soul Capturing Divine Light, aiming to engulf the tribulation clouds within its being.

"What is this!?"

Even Lu Changsheng, a spectator to this unbelievable display, could not suppress his bewilderment.

Was such a feat even conceivable?

Was this not an act of sheer, unbridled audacity?

From nearby, the Fourth Rank Demon King, its features contorted in surprise, regarded the Soul-calling Beast with a mixture of apprehension and a palpable sense of danger emanating from it.

Having captured the tribulation clouds, the Soul-calling Beast, now veiled in a swirling black mist, re-entered Split Wind Island. It approached Lu Changsheng, subsequently reverting to its familiar macaque beast form, conveying its profound exhaustion and an urgent desire for slumber.

In the past, within the Sealing Demon Land, the sheer quantity of Ghost Demons it had consumed was virtually beyond count. Had it possessed the capacity to digest them then, it might have already achieved advancement to the Fourth Rank Middle Stage.

However, having learned from previous experiences, it had ingeniously concealed numerous Soul Crystals within its abdomen, intending to keep them hidden unless directly questioned by Lu Changsheng.

The primary consideration was Lu Changsheng's own requirement for Soul Crystals; therefore, it harbored no objection. Yet, upon acquiring them, he invariably entrusted them to that irksome metallic entity, a fact that stirred considerable displeasure within it.

Were it not for Lu Changsheng's presence, it harbored an inclination to devour Qian Zhuyan's Puppet Spirit Soul.

Due to the abundance of Soul Crystals already within its system, the beast required no external augmentation to overcome the tribulation and sought only immediate rest following its advancement.

"Rest then, slumber peacefully."

Lu Changsheng, observing the Soul-calling Beast nestled in his arms, profoundly asleep, offered a gentle smile and a shake of his head.

He had intended to inquire about its recent Heavenly Tribulation, the augmentation of its strength, and matters pertaining to its transformation.

To his surprise, it had simply succumbed to sleep.

Nevertheless, as long as it remained not in a complete state of dormancy, it could be roused should any exigency arise.

He then gestured to Qian Zhuyan, signaling him to politely escort away the Fourth Rank Demon King, who seemed poised to scavenge any remaining spoils.

Though the Fourth Rank Demon King harbored lingering desires, it ultimately opted for retreat, taking into account the prior accord between the Soul-calling Beast and Qian Zhuyan.

With this resolved, Lu Changsheng entrusted the slumbering Soul-calling Beast to the care of the Three Treasures Incarnation. He then entered the Spiritual Eye Barrier Formation, addressing Yun Wanshang and indicating that if she felt prepared, she could proceed directly to impact the Nascent Soul realm without further delay or suppression.

"Understood!"

Whether aiming for Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, or Nascent Soul, the critical factor was seizing the opportune moment.

With the Heavenly Nascent Soul Spirit Machine now present, the timing was undeniably propitious. Yun Wanshang, without a moment's hesitation, fully unleashed her spiritual mechanism.

Within her Qi Ocean Core, the Golden Core Dao Foundation erupted, unleashing ten thousand rays of rosy light as it ascended towards the Nascent Soul Stage.

Clad in vibrant robes, her elegant and captivating form radiated an endless rosy glow, accompanied by the earth-shattering sounds of mountains and seas, seemingly intertwined with the crackle of lightning and thunder, an utterly astonishing spectacle.

Simultaneously, spiritual energy from all directions converged. The entire Split Wind Island's spiritual mechanism was stirred, forming a vortex of spiritual energy extending for miles, even over a hundred miles.

Lu Changsheng observed Yun Wanshang, appearing unprepared save for the Heavenly Nascent Soul opportunity, and a slight frown creased his brow.

He then turned his attention to the top-grade Infant Transformation Elixir within the system space, silently initiating the extraction command in his heart.

"Hold your breath and open your mouth."

Holding the Infant Transformation Elixir before him, Lu Changsheng spoke to Yun Wanshang before gently placing the top-grade elixir into her mouth.

While the Infant Transformation Elixir itself was a treasure, the top-grade variant was truly priceless.

However, Lu Changsheng had long regarded Yun Wanshang as his woman, the future mother of his child, and thus, he would not hesitate in this moment.

Indeed, he had deliberately chosen to gift her the top-grade Infant Transformation Elixir.

Moreover, their return to the Jiang Country would not be long in coming.

Upon encountering Xiao Xiyue and learning of Chu Qingyi's predicament, she would undoubtedly feel distressed and conflicted, perhaps even contemplating severing ties with him.

Under such circumstances, Lu Changsheng naturally opted to make several preparations, ensuring she would be hesitant to make any hasty decisions.

"Hmm!?"

Yun Wanshang placed her trust in Lu Changsheng and offered no refusal.

Yet, the moment the elixir entered her mouth, she instantly sensed an anomaly.

The potency of this elixir was simultaneously fortifying her physical body, her mana, and her Divine Sense.

Although she had never consumed an Infant Transformation Elixir before, she had previously taken Foundation Establishment and Coagulation Crystal Elixirs, making her keenly aware of the effects such potent concoctions could have.
