When Ogmarton shouted, everyone lost their mood to speak. Catherine immediately put Duoduo whom she was holding into the center of the fire merging formation whereas Delkus and Sethtine stood at the designated positions.
Ogmarton’s right hand showed a finger tiger (Finger tiger was an iron ring on his fist, also known as finger tiger or iron lotus), which was the true form of the fire origin fragment. Then, the Fire Elemental King stretched out his right fist toward the sky.
The white clouds in the sky suddenly turned fiery red, forming circles. Delkus and Sethtine also raised their hands. Delkus’ arm was wearing the Bracelet of Brilliance transformed by the light origin fragment; Sethtine’s wind origin fragment was a necklace on his chest. The white light and the green light shone and submerged in the fiery cloud of the ring, projecting a 3-color radiance into the well-drawn fire formation on the ground. The originally high-temperature fire palace got even hotter.
According to Ogmarton, the effect of this fire-merging ritual could be high or low. If they were unlucky and the infusion of the seal of origin was not perfect, the effect on Duoduo would be much smaller, so he needed to use the 2 Elemental King’s strength to optimize the ritual.
Under the power of the 3 origin fragments, Ogmarton’s entire body turned into a dazzling flame, and he flew above Duoduo.
The dazzling flames scattered into burning texts, then they turned into droplets of flame that fell on Duoduo’s body. Duoduo’s clothes were not burned, but her body became red.
Although he knew that Duoduo was a phoenix who was not afraid of flames, and that Ogmarton was helping, this scene still made Chen Rui secretly startled. When he was nervous, he suddenly found that Catherine’s breath became weird.
Catherine’s calm gaze seemed hollow, and her black pupils were burning with flame-like power as if the changes in those flame texts had caused some kind of resonance in her soul. Gradually, the power of her body surged uncontrollably, burning into a black flame.
“Don’t worry, this state is beneficial and harmless to Ms. Catherine. I believe that after this time, the special bloodline power in her body will gradually exert its real power.” Ogmarton’s voice sounded among the flame texts. The sound was made by countless texts at the same time, which sounded scary at first.
Chen Rui then felt relieved. The flames continued to burn, and the texts seemed to be a whole article that was constantly changing, demonstrating the content of the entire article. Subsequently, the content ‘dripped’ on Duoduo’s body along the flames as if digested by her.
Duoduo’s body faintly revealed a special kind of breath. This breath was so strong that even Chen Rui couldn’t help but be shocked. The fire element power of the entire Blazing Flame Hall suddenly increased dozens of times. Even for Chen Rui with [Fire Phoenix Stigmata], it also felt a little overwhelming. If this place was an ordinary place, it would have all melted.
The strange thing was that Catherine was just fine. There was a faint trace of the same breath on her body that echoed Duoduo’s breath. The black flames behind her had formed physical wings.
The powerful breath became more and more violent, and the fire-merging formation gradually expanded. With a ‘boom’, a red light rose into the sky, and the ring-shaped clouds in the air turned into the shape of a huge fire phoenix.
This fire phoenix flew around the Blazing Flame Hall in a circle, then it turned into a firelight and disappeared into the body of the little girl below. The skin returned to normal from flushing, and that little face no longer had the paleness of the coldness. Instead, she regained the reddish luster.
During the whole process, Duoduo had been sleeping soundly with her eyes closed and did not wake up. After the fire phoenix merged into her body, the original tremor gradually stopped. Her whole body was completely relaxed, and she slept more and more sweetly.
“This ritual is very perfect. Duoduo has merged with the purest fire elements source power to form the seal of origin. Not only will the cold symptom not appear again in the future, but the risk of awakening the bloodline will be greatly reduced.” Ogmarton’s voice sounded exhausted, and the breath of Sethtine and Delkus also looked a lot weaker.
“Thank you!” Chen Rui finally breathed a sigh of relief. He nodded vigorously and wiped the tears that were shed involuntary from his eyes. This kind of feeling could not be felt by non-parents. In any case, his daughter was basically fine. Any hard work or danger he had experienced before was worth it.
The black wings on Catherine’s back gradually disappeared. Her body softened, and she fell down. Chen Rui reacted quickly. He instantly appeared in front of her and hugged her.
“She’s fine. She got a lot of benefits from this ritual, and that little bloodline power has begun to recover gradually. It can be said that she is closer to some kind of ‘origin’ power. However, this kind of power is too huge. She can’t bear it for the time being, so she will faint from time to time. After she slowly adapts to it, she will be fine. Plus, her strength will be greatly enhanced.”
The power of the origin bloodline? Chen Rui heard Delkus say something similar before. It should be referring to Asmodeus’ ‘Nirvana’ talent. It’s beneficial and harmless anyway.
“Thank you!” This was the second time Chen Rui said these 2 words to the 3 Kings of Light today. That kind of gratitude was by no means an ordinary courtesy. Catherine was his woman and Duoduo was his daughter. His wife and children constitute a complete home, and his family was the most important meaning in his life.
“You don’t need to be polite. Maybe we’ll have to rely on you for your help in the future.” Ogmarton laughed weakly, “Don’t be long-winded, I’ll rest for a while. These 2 guys are much more cunning. Both of them are silently recovering power. In this Blazing Flame Hall, I will definitely recover before them.”
As expected of the Fire Elemental King, even this must be won.
Chen Rui nodded and didn’t say much. Even thought he brought the light origin fragment and fire origin fragment for Delkus and Ogmarton, he did not understand the true meaning of the origin fragments for the Elemental Kings. The origin fragments were more of a trade with them. No matter what, this kindness was remembered in his heart. He would definitely repay it when he had the opportunity in the future.
The next day, Chen Rui left the Flaring Sun Volcano and returned directly to the Demon Realm through the [Star Gate]. He did not go to the Fallen Angel Empire, but the Star Point of the Dark Shadow Empire.
Catherine had been away from the Dark Shadow Empire for quite some time. As an empress, although Liliz and Frentz were entrusted to handle important military and political affairs, she couldn’t be absent for too long. Now Duoduo’s problem had been basically solved, so she must return as soon as possible.
In addition to Catherine and Duoduo, there was another person, Regia.
With his previous experience in the Black Prison Desert, Regia was completely in awe of Chen Rui. He was determined to follow Che Rui, ‘the most important person for the Royal Highness Little Princess’, even if Chen Rui had already declared himself a member of the Demon Realm and the destination of the Demon Realm.
As for Little Jim, Chen Rui had long left a sum of money and helped him clear up troubles. With Little Jim’s ingenuity, it shouldn’t be a problem to live on. In fact, with Regia’s background, if there was too much involvement with Little Jim, it would hurt him, so this time ‘Old Father Lal’ went to the Black Prison Desert and was ‘gone forever’.
Regia’s strength was only the later stage of the Great Demon King, barely touching the edge of the Demon Emperor, but he was the top royal instructor of the Cloud Rider Royal Family. He was good at military strategy, knowledgeable, proficient in astrology, geography, appraisal, herbology and other ‘miscellaneous arts’; he was definitely a top talent.
Catherine took a fancy to this talent at first sight. Upon contact, Regia was completely impressed by the wisdom and knowledge of this mysterious ‘madam’ wearing a veil, but when Catherine invited Regia to join the Dark Shadow Empire, she was unexpectedly declined.
After all, this was a guardian who was loyal to the Cloud Rider Royal Family, and he would no longer be loyal to any faction except Veronica and the ‘highest guardian’ Chen Rui.
Yet Regia underestimated the Demon Realm top sage’s cunningness, uh… wisdom.
After a while.
“Royal Highness Little Princess!” This was the second time Regia saw Veronica’s soul projection, and he was still very excited.
“Teacher Regia.” Veronica said sternly, “You are an excellent talent with outstanding ability. Unfortunately, the Cloud Rider Empire has fallen and has been useless. I have always felt uneasy. Sister Catherine is not only the top empress of the Demon Realm, but she is also the top sage. She can make the best use of people. She will definitely give you a platform where you can exert your best abilities. In this way, I will be at ease.”
Regia frowned, “But, Royal Highness Little Princess…”
“What if this is my order?”
Regia knew that Veronica was doing it for his own good, so he bowed his head, “Then, I can only obey.”
Catherine smiled slightly, “Then I’m very happy to have a man of such talent working for the Dark Shadow Empire. But it’s only ‘service’, not ‘allegiance’.”
“Is there a difference?”
“Your allegiance will always be Veronica or the highest guardian.” Catherine glanced at Chen Rui with a smile, “As for service, if you think that I’m not a suitable person to serve or I have not let your talents really unleash, then you can leave at any time. I will not force it.”
Veronica nodded to Regia. Regia sighed and bowed to Catherine, “Then I would appreciate your guidance, Your Majesty.”
Veronica smiled, and her figure gradually disappeared.
Catherine’s lips moved behind the veil, and it seemed that some words sounded in Regia’s ears. With Catherine’s strength, if Chen Rui didn’t deliberately eavesdrop or activate the [Pole Star Transformation], he couldn’t hear this ‘voice’ contents.
In just a few words, Regia’s eyes lit up and she gave Catherine a deep bow, “Thank you, Your Majesty. I will repay Your Majesty with loyalty and ability.”
“Good. Terdila!”
“Your Majesty.” Terdila’s figure appeared at the door of the main hall.
“Let me introduce you first. This is Regia, the royal instructor from the human world, and he is also the new principal of the imperial college. Terdila, take him to familiarize with the environment of the empire, then arrange everything related to it. The official appointment will be announced soon.”
“Yes! Sir Regia, please come with me.”
After Regia left, Catherine called Liliz who was on vacation. She asked Liliz to take Duoduo to visit Clear Lake on the outskirts of the Dark Shadow Empire. Duoduo used to like that place very much. When she returned to the Dark Shadow Empire, she was making noises to go. Except for Catherine herself, this matter could only be done by Liliz who brought her up since childhood.
After giving a few words to prevent Duoduo from approaching something related to the pig’s head, Liliz went to execute the order.
“Royal Highness Prince Consort, don’t you want to say something?” Catherine blinked and walked to Chen Rui.
“What more can I say? Accusing you of poaching in my face? Even using Veronica to solve the problem?” Chen Rui shrugged.
Catherine said with a smile, “Actually, you still control the lifeblood of the imperial college. As long as Veronica says a word, wouldn’t Regia become yours again?”
“What mine…” The same sentence, but Catherine’s special tone made Chen Rui speechless. We’re not gay, okay?
“Looks like I must bribe the Royal Highness Prince Consort so that the principal of the imperial college will stay in the Dark Shadow Empire.”
“You mean… bribes?”
Her Majesty Empress lifted her veil, slowly squatted down in front of Chen Rui, and reached for his belt.
“Hey hey… we are still in the palace hall.”
“No one would dare to come in without my orders.” Her Majesty Empress’s hands were quite dexterous. In the blink of an eye, something was exposed to the air.
“Your reaction seems to be stronger than usual… duplicitous man.”
Next, Her Majesty Empress didn’t talk anymore; there was no time.
A certain man shivered in comfort.
Well, I’m duplicitous – what’s more comforting than the beloved Royal Majesty Empress using this kind of ‘bribe’?
In this way, Chen Rui lived a carefree life in the Dark Shadow Empire for more than 10 days.
Catherine got a huge benefit from the flame merging ritual in the Blazing Flame Hall. The special bloodline power left by Duoduo in her body started to unleash, and her strength skyrocketed from the early stage to the peak stage of the Demi-God.
But on the other hand, due to the drastic increase in strength, uncontrollable situations often occur. This was not a joke, but a very dangerous situation. For example, when eating, if she was not careful, the whole table would be shattered. Even Catherine would not dare to hug Duoduo at all.
Under normal circumstances, this required a long time of training and control. Fortunately, the training ground of the Super System had a time law of 1000 times. At there, Catherine’s control of power had been strengthened step by step.
In addition to this, there was an additional training method: [Dual Training].
[Dual Training] was originally the profound meaning of ‘sex and life training’, and its main function was to double the power of the Super System’s skills, but this ‘main function’ was automatic anyway. Instead, the ‘complementary function’ was more widely used—Through sex, the power could be condensed and used more easily.
Through a lot of practice, it had been proved that this function was really a magical skill of crystal harem. Generally, the higher the strength, the more difficult it was to refine and improve. Therefore, he could papapa in the name of training, which could be said to kill 2 birds with 1 stone; it was really wonderful.
The ‘lust’ of the Asmodeus Royal Family was by no means a false title. In the knowledge of the Asmodeus Royal Family, the indulgence in bed with a lover was justifiable. Basically, all kinds of styles were acceptable; it was the greatest to satisfy both parties.
Although both were empresses, Catherine was more open than Shea in this regard, which benefited a certain guy. Before Chen Rui finished his usual sentence, ‘I think you are the one-of-a-kind cultivation genius’, Her Majesty Empress had pushed him down.
