After all, this is a battle where there is utterly no hope in sight!

And what follows is even simpler; the Lion Clan falls into internal strife, and the factions advocating surrender and peace end up clashing, thus giving Ye Luo an opportunity!

Ye Luo is not a heartless person; after all, the Lion Clan, following its internal chaos, has long lost much of its power, so he used this excuse to pardon some members of the Lion Clan.

As for the Crown Prince, Ye Luo did not kill him, but merely demoted him to a commoner!

Next, it was time to recuperate!

Of course, the most important thing was to wait for news from the Great Tang Empire.

The Da Yue Empire has just settled, making it difficult for Ye Luo to leave, so he took this opportunity to begin researching talisman script techniques!

In the Da Yue Empire, there are naturally many secret realms.

Now that Ye Luo has become the Demon King of the Da Yue Empire, no one would obstruct where he wishes to go; besides, there aren’t that many domestic issues, since the Da Yue Empire was never a highly centralized monarchy!

Thus, as soon as the war had just settled, Ye Luo began his path of exploring secret realms, seeking suitable materials, and researching talismans!

Everyone had become accustomed to Ye Luo’s actions, after all, the Third Prince was the same back then.

In the Da Yue Empire, there are only two secret realms that currently catch Ye Luo’s eye!

And now, Ye Luo is heading to a medieval secret realm!

Ancient, primordial, medieval, and present, are roughly the divisions of the Martial Realm, naturally based on era.

The older the secret realm, and whenever treasures are found, they are inevitably extremely potent. Of course, the longer-lasting the secret realm, the more it is explored, making what can actually be obtained an unknown.

This medieval secret realm has been explored numerous times by generations of Da Yue Empire’s powerful figures, not to mention, even strong figures from other places would enter it.

After all, power is everything; even if the Da Yue Empire has the capability to stop strong figures from surrounding nations from entering, against figures from advanced areas, the Da Yue Empire can only stare helplessly.

Now that Ye Luo has become the Demon King, naturally he would not miss the opportunity.

This time, the medieval secret realm is referred to as the Absolute Domain by the people of the Da Yue Empire!

Of course, that’s because their power is insufficient.

Legend has it that this is the tomb of a medieval strong figure, but now, it has been thoroughly ransacked, and likely all the treasures inside have been unearthed.

Ye Luo is also going there with a mindset of testing his luck.

This time, Ye Luo only brought Feng Ling and Ao Long.

The three together, without guards, went straight ahead!

This so-called Absolute Domain is built atop a tall mountain, but here lies only a transmission array; where exactly the secret realm is, no one knows, everyone knows only this single entrance.

"How about it, senior, are you ready?"

At the entrance of the secret realm, the three of them stand firm, yet Ye Luo asks Ao Long. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Ao Long hesitates, but then responds.

"Alright, you brat are saying my power is insufficient, huh? If not for your external incarnation being too weak, how could I only exert this little bit of power! I haven’t even confronted you yet, always telling you to enhance the external incarnation, but you have never done it!"

"Please, senior, aren’t you blaming me wrongly? Do you think I don’t want to enhance the external incarnation? But those special materials are not something I can acquire simply because I want them!"

Ye Luo feels somewhat helpless; he naturally wants to enhance it too, after all, the external incarnation is his own, and Ao Long’s formidable strength is only advantageous to Ye Luo.

Ao Long glimpses his lips but doesn’t respond; he naturally knows Ye Luo speaks the truth, such affairs can’t be rushed; Ao Long also fully understands the predicament Ye Luo faces nowadays, but due to clan rules, even if he wants to help Ye Luo, some things cannot be taught privately to him.

If possible, once Ye Luo reaches the Sixth Region and receives approval from the Dragon Clan, Ao Long wouldn’t mind sharing his knowledge!

"Alright, let’s go then, let’s get inside, we don’t know what dangers await us!"

Ye Luo gazes at the not-so-large transmission gate, feeling rather bewildered.

At this moment, Ye Luo holds five extremely special stones in his hand.

These five stones appear unremarkable at a glance, yet they are the key to opening the transmission gate.

If Ye Luo were not the Demon King, gathering just these five stones would have been an unknown length of time, fortunate that he is now Demon King so numerous affairs needn’t be handled personally, others would arrange matters for him!

All this effort, becoming a Demon King, is not sought but for such privileges.

Feng Ling maintains a smile, remaining silent the entire time; actually now, for Feng Ling, it is rather fulfilling.

His status is identical to Princess Yu, in the Da Yue Empire, both are Ye Luo’s Demon Queen.

However, Princess Yu needs to assist Ye Luo in controlling the Da Yue Empire, keeping her fairly busy, whereas she, due to her formidable strength, can accompany Ye Luo at any time.

Regarding power?

Feng Ling has no particular thoughts; she initially comes from a maid background, not genuinely a Goddess but was a maid beside the Saintess, merely taking over the Saintess title.

Ye Luo knows this too, but has never minded.

Thus, Feng Ling naturally feels content with the current state.

Moreover, Ye Luo has started to trust him already, take Ao Long for instance, Feng Ling knows clearly, in Ye Luo’s heart, Ao Long holds a high position and is one of Ye Luo’s crucial people.

But for this expedition to the secret realm, Ye Luo only brought her and Ao Long!

Ye Luo takes out the five stones, embedding them sequentially into the transmission gate.

Soon, the transmission gate emits light, and the trio steps directly inside!

"Make haste, it’s said that within this secret realm, we have only half a month, after which it will close again, and we will be forcibly ejected. If we don’t follow the original route back, we might randomly be expelled, unaware of where we might end up, so we haven’t much time for exploration!"

Ye Luo tells the two, some matters must be stated upfront to avoid delays.

Upon entering the secret realm, the trio immediately charges forward at full speed, as they don’t have time to waste.

However, the initial stretch holds nothing deserving their attention; here are merely remnants and ruins, on occasion a seemingly intact room or so, yet long since searched thoroughly.

Ye Luo was mentally prepared, thus pays no heed, running straight towards the deepest part of the secret realm.
