Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress-Chapter 388 : Very Good, It’ll Be You Then!

Chapter 388 - Very Good, It'll Be You Then!

Late at night in the Beast Realm, above the great abyss traversing north and south.

After quelling the chaos in the Beast Realm and helping Cai Se ascend to the throne, Ning Yechen, along with Luo Ruying and the others, followed the guidance of the ancient secret map and arrived above a certain location in the great abyss.

However, upon arrival, the ancient secret map remained completely inactive. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Even when Ning Yechen descended to the very bottom of the great abyss, he couldn't find any place that could open the ancient secret realm.

This couldn't help but make Ning Yechen frown slightly, beginning to suspect if the so-called ancient secret map of the Beast Realm was fake.

Logically, this kind of ancient map should provide some guidance after getting close to the location.

Yet the map in his hand showed no reaction whatsoever.

"Husband, may I take a look?" Luo Ruying, holding Luo Hongye, came to Ning Yechen's side and asked.

"Here, my wife." Ning Yechen directly handed the unfolded ancient map to Luo Ruying.

Luo Ruying took the map and examined it intently.

She discovered that after the two halves had merged, a line of ancient beast script had conspicuously appeared on the map.

"Husband, this line is ancient beast script from the ancient era of the Beast Realm."

"It's just that I don't understand the script either; otherwise, I could interpret it." Luo Ruying said, pointing at the ancient beast script on the map.

Ordinary people probably wouldn't recognize the ancient script of the Beast Realm. She only recognized it thanks to the memories of her past life as the Luo Shen.

Ning Yechen drew closer to look, his frown deepening.

This squiggly, worm-like stuff was actually the ancient beast script. He hadn't even recognized it as writing…

The ancient beast script was indeed a troublesome problem. If it were an ancient restriction, Yue Qingyou could use her Word-Spirit to release it. But translating ancient script like this couldn't be done with spiritual energy.

Luo Hongye, sitting on Luo Ruying's arm, also stared at the ancient map in her mother's hand with her big, nimble eyes.

The family of three stared blankly at the map, completely stumped…

Looks like they'd have to go back first and find someone who understood ancient beast script to interpret it.

Just as Ning Yechen was preparing to head back for the time being, a timid voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Th-That is… Demon Lord, if it's ancient beast script, I-I might be able to understand some of it…"

Hu Tutu, standing behind Luo Ruying, timidly raised her arm and spoke.

She had specially studied ancient beast script and various kinds of ancient Beast Realm knowledge since she was young and could be considered quite proficient.

"Very good, it'll be you then!"

Hearing this, Ning Yechen's eyes hardened. He directly lifted Hu Tutu before him with one hand.

Hu Tutu jumped in fright subconsciously. After calming down, she drew close to the ancient map, her eyes examining it carefully as she pointed and read, word by word:

"When night falls, the river of fluorescence will connect the Beast Realm, merging into one, and the nocturnal aurora will illuminate the entire land."

After Hu Tutu finished reading the last word, the ancient map in Ning Yechen's hand, as if guided by something, continuously tried to fall downwards.

Ning Yechen slowly released his hand, and the ancient secret map immediately transformed into a divine rainbow, submerging into the depths of the great abyss below.

The submerged and vanished map acted like a key inserting into a lock. The incomparably wide great abyss suddenly began to glow with a dazzling light!

The light spread out to both sides like floodgates opening, extending along the entire length of the vast chasm.

Ning Yechen's group, standing high in the air, looked down and saw what appeared to be a wide river of fluorescence filling the great abyss.

Above the chasm, amidst the clouds of the night sky, streaks of incomparably beautiful, multicolored aurora were projected.

The splendid aurora not only illuminated the entire night sky of the Beast Realm but also reflected upon the land below.

This scene perfectly matched the description in the ancient secret map!

Under the watch of Ning Yechen's group, the aurora under the night sky shone upon the fluorescence of the great abyss.

The two lights connected as one, forming what looked like a multicolored, splendid barrier between heaven and earth.

And this barrier was the passage into the ancient secret realm of the Beast Realm!

The people of the Beast Realm, not understanding what was happening, all looked up at the miracle that had suddenly descended under the night sky.

Ning Yechen also understood why the ancient secret map had shown no reaction earlier.

Opening this map required chanting the ancient beast script. Only after completely reciting the script on the map could this ancient secret realm be opened.

"My wife, let's go."

Ning Yechen led Luo Ruying and the others straight into the passage of the ancient secret realm.

And after them, another figure swiftly and quietly followed, submerging into it as well…

……

Beast Realm Ancient Secret Realm.

Passing through the passage, Ning Yechen's group stepped into the ancient secret realm.

The moment they entered, Ning Yechen, Luo Ruying, and the others immediately frowned.

The secret realm was shrouded in white mist, hazy and indistinct. The dense beastly aura was incredibly intense, several times stronger than the Beast Realm outside.

If not for their high cultivation, ordinary people would probably find it difficult to endure such a highly concentrated environment.

"Disperse!"

Under such dense white mist, nothing could be seen clearly. Without needing Ning Yechen to speak, Yue Qingyou proactively spoke first to disperse the surrounding mist.

After the white mist dissipated, a magnificent and spectacular scene unfolded before Ning Yechen's group.

Skeletons of demonic beasts, countless times taller than mountains, were piled upon the earth, like works of art on display.

Beneath these ancient beast skeletons, mountains and forests stood tall, covered in lush growths of various immortal herbs and spiritual medicines.

It wasn't a shocking scene of bones littering the ground, but one of boundless vitality nurtured by the beast skeletons as fertilizer.

Ning Yechen's group was currently standing on the spine of some unknown ancient demonic beast, looking down from high above at the magnificent scenery of the surrounding ancient secret realm.

Their hearts couldn't help but feel amazed by the sight before them.

In the distance, a bloody, crimson waterfall plunged straight down from the sky.

Even from a very great distance, Ning Yechen's group could smell a thick, pungent smell of blood.

That crimson waterfall wasn't colored dye, but a genuine waterfall of fresh blood!

The thick blood contained the rich and pure power of ancient beast blood!

This was actually a waterfall formed entirely from the blood of countless ancient demonic beasts!

Seeing such pure ancient beast blood, a rare trace of unexpected joy appeared on Yue Qingyou's cold and exquisitely beautiful face.

With so much ancient beast blood, perhaps the hundred-year Immortal Emperor plan for Cai Se and the other two could be shortened even further!

"Demon Lord, may I be permitted to go and collect some ancient beast blood first?" Yue Qingyou asked with a slight bow.

"Mmm, perfect timing, let's go over together."

Ning Yechen released his divine sense to perceive and discovered that there was something else hidden within the distant blood waterfall. He decided to go there first and investigate.

Just as Ning Yechen's group was preparing to fly over, a scream suddenly came from Hu Tutu behind them.

"Aaaah!”
