Chapter 439: Chapter 439: The Terrified Night Demon Race Prince

With this new understanding, Ye Yuemei continued forward.

This time, no Illusion Realms or Heart Demons could even get near Ye Yuemei’s body, let alone have any impact on her.

Ye Yuemei was unaware that geniuses like Kong Lindao deliberately sought to rise above the Celestial Dao. They considered the Celestial Dao inferior and themselves superior, and pursued Dao Enlightenment with that very mentality.

But Ye Yuemei herself didn’t even consider the Celestial Dao a big deal.

’Unable to break the Nine Forbidden? Brother Tianling has already broken through the barriers of over thirty Realms, hasn’t he? I have to break at least thirty myself to be worthy of him!’

This simple and direct thought had allowed Ye Yuemei to grow to an unimaginable height.

And yet, she herself was completely unaware of it, simply continuing on her way.

BZZZ—

Suddenly, in this land of chaos, about a thousand meters before an Ancient City, a man in white with blood-red hair appeared.

He descended from the Void, landing in front of Ye Yuemei. A peculiar light flickered in his eyes as he said, "Fairy, please go no further."

Ye Yuemei stopped. Her beautiful eyes, filled with confusion, glanced at the man. "Oh? And why is that, Senior Brother?"

The man exhaled a breath of Blood Qi, his tone softening. "I am Ye Enjun, the Seventh Prince of the Night Demon Race’s Royal Blood lineage in the Celestial Demon Blood Domain. This place is a prison. It is easy to enter, but impossible to leave. For a Fairy such as yourself to have reached this place on foot, your Battle Power must be capable of Breaking Eight, and your Dao Heart must be exceptionally firm. You are a truly remarkable woman.

It would be a great pity if you were to perish here."

His words carried a hint of admiration and affection.

He made no effort to hide his fondness for Ye Yuemei; the affection in his eyes was already plain to see.

Ye Yuemei sensed it instantly. She furrowed her brow slightly and said, "Senior Brother, I appreciate your kind intentions, but my heart already belongs to another. As for this Ancient City, I must enter it. Please, step aside."

Although Ye Yuemei had learned things the hard way a few times, her innately guileless nature kept her from drawing her sword at the first sign of disagreement.

"Fairy, this Ancient City is called the ’City of Sin.’ Once you enter, it’s impossible to get out, no matter how heaven-defying your power. And now, under the Laws of the New World, it is even more terrifying inside. It’s fine if you don’t like me, but please, don’t gamble with your own life.

Since your heart belongs to another, your Dao companion must care for you deeply. If you were to perish here, given how outstanding you are, he would surely be devastated."

The red-haired man looked slightly regretful, but he quickly reined in the emotions in his eyes and continued to advise her with utmost sincerity.

"Senior Brother, I know you mean well, but I have to go to this place. Besides, wherever there is danger in this world, there must also be a solution. I believe I can find it!"

Ye Yuemei’s gaze was resolute. As she spoke, she gave the red-haired man, Ye Enjun, a slight bow with her fists cupped to express her gratitude.

"Sigh... you... Are all Divine Sons and Divine Ladies this stubborn?"

Ye Enjun couldn’t help but give a bitter smile. He then cast a complicated gaze toward the distant Ancient City, his eyes tinged with sorrow.

"Senior Brother Ye Enjun, it’s not stubbornness, but conviction. Everyone has something they hold onto. My conviction is to get closer to Brother Tianling, so the gap between us isn’t so vast."

Ye Yuemei said softly.

She became lost in her longing for Ye Tianling, and in that moment, her gaze grew as gentle as still water.

Seeing that look in her eyes, Ye Enjun’s heart was deeply moved.

He knew he had no chance with this Goddess.

"With your talent and Ability, Fairy, there’s still such a huge gap between you and your Brother Tianling? Just how much of a monster is he?"

Ye Enjun mulled this over, and only then did he realize the implications of what the beautiful young woman before him had said.

He was truly shaken. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

’Could it be that the Human Race of the outside world has reached such a terrifying, heaven-defying level?’

’If so, wouldn’t our invincible Celestial Demon Blood Domain be facing disaster?’

A strange feeling rose in his heart. Although he knew it was somewhat shameless to be fishing for information like this, he still asked out of instinct.

"Brother Tianling is incredibly strong... His kind of strength... how should I put it?"

Ye Yuemei paused, a dazed look on her face. At the mere mention of Ye Tianling, her entire being seemed to radiate an ultimate Spiritual Luster, making her appear even more otherworldly and ethereal, like a true fairy.

"Has his Battle Power reached the Nine Forbidden?"

Ye Enjun’s heart pounded wildly.

"The Nine Forbidden? For Brother Tianling, the Nine Forbidden is a truly trivial matter. His power can probably break through the barriers of over thirty Realms."

After a moment’s thought, Ye Yuemei decided to bring up a record Ye Tianling had once set.

"Thir... over thirty Realms?"

Ye Enjun nearly spat out a mouthful of Celestial Demon Blood. He was utterly stunned by her claim.

He gave Ye Yuemei a suspicious look. ’This Fairy isn’t a fool... but does she really not have even the most basic common sense?’

Ye Yuemei paid no mind to Ye Enjun’s suspicion and said softly, "Brother Tianling has achieved Transcendence over the Celestial Dao; he isn’t bound by the Celestial Dao Rules at all. He is a peerless genius of the highest order. Before, the Laws of the New World descended because he shattered the world barrier, and the entire Celestial Dao sent a Celestial Dao Erasure to kill him, but it failed.

Now, Brother Tianling is perfectly fine. I saw him before in a certain part of the Heaven-Reaching Tower during Meditation. He’s still incredibly powerful, transcending all Law, and as handsome, extraordinary, and carefree as ever..."

Ye Yuemei’s eyes seemed to be filled with countless tiny stars.

Her expression of adoration and longing left Ye Enjun completely dumbfounded.

’So beautiful, truly.’

But the words she spoke were even more shocking.

’He survived a Celestial Dao Erasure?’

’Have the geniuses of the Human Race already reached this level?’

’In that case, is there any point for us, the Demon Race of the Celestial Demon Blood Domain, to even emerge? Wouldn’t we just become lambs to his slaughter?’

Perhaps Ye Enjun had been skeptical before, but after hearing her say this, he truly believed it.

This was because the Emperor of the Night Demon Race had mentioned something similar—a member of the Human Race had achieved Transcendence over the rules, causing the New World’s early Descent.

Now, having learned more from Ye Yuemei, even that little bit of affection Ye Enjun had for her completely vanished.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to feel it, but that he didn’t dare.

’The Dao companion of a being like that? How could I dare to make a move on her?’

’Even ten of my lives wouldn’t be enough for that man to kill!’

"Fairy, then... are all the geniuses of the Human Race this powerful and heaven-defying?"

Ye Enjun’s voice trembled slightly, his words now instinctively tinged with reverence.

’Damn it, this Fairy’s backing is too powerful! I can’t afford to offend her! How could I be anything but respectful?!’
