Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor

Upon hearing the Great Luo Immortal Emperor’s words, the Empress’s gaze shifted as her cherry lips parted lightly: "On the quest for the Immortal Dao, there are fortunes and also calamities. Perhaps... this is just one of our calamities!"

The Great Luo Immortal Emperor looked at her placid expression and smiled bitterly: "I fear this time it’s a calamity of life and death!"

The Empress seemed to have seen through life and death, and upon hearing the words, merely smiled faintly and said: "Actually, when news of his death reached me a thousand years ago, I had already died once. As for life and death, I’m no longer afraid."

The Great Luo Immortal Emperor was stunned and sighed: "That was just your heart dying. But this time, falling into the hands of this Demon Emperor, the result might be having all your blood drained, bones crushed and scattered, form and spirit all annihilated... Aren’t you afraid at all?"

"To be honest, I’m not afraid, I just feel a bit regretful..."

As the Empress spoke, she seemed to fall into a memory, her bright and pretty face sometimes showing a smile and sometimes a touch of sadness.

The Great Luo Immortal Emperor watched her changing expression, frowned in thought, then spoke: "Are you regretting that you might perish in the hands of the Demon Emperor before seeing the War Emperor’s return to the Immortal Realm?"

The Empress nodded slightly and sighed lightly: "Indeed! Knowing from your words that he seized a new body and returned to the Immortal Realm, I was very happy and wished to see him immediately. If not for falling into the hands of the Demon Emperor, perhaps we would already be together..."

"A thousand years ago, although we were fond of each other, out of restraint, I never expressed my feelings. Later when news of his downfall spread, I was both sorrowful and remorseful, thinking if time could turn back, I would surely become his immortal partner."

"In the thousand years since then, I’ve always been thinking about avenging him, but regrettably being too weak, never able to realize it. Eventually, I ventured into the deepest parts of the Nine Nether Thunder Sea, preparing to cultivate to improve my strength and then confront the eight top Immortal Emperors."

"Later on, the Demon Emperor suddenly appeared, without a word tried to capture me, we battled fiercely, but ultimately I was no match and was thrown into this Demon Ring. My Bipartite Dual Swords were also lost in that battle..."

"What I didn’t expect was that you, Great Luo Immortal Friend, would also be captured into this Demon Ring by the Demon Emperor. And even more surprising, hearing from you the news that Fang Bai was still alive. It’s just unfortunate, he has returned alive to the Immortal Realm while I may perish..."

"I regret that before falling, I couldn’t see him even once... Could it be that we are truly destined without the fortune to be together?"

As she spoke, her voice choked slightly, and in her beautiful eyes, tears began to sparkle.

The Great Luo Immortal Emperor, having never seen such an expression from this dignified Empress, was somewhat stunned, thinking to himself that the word ’affection’ is truly frightening, not even an Immortal Emperor can unravel it.

This Empress was precisely one of Fang Bai’s soulmates from his past life, the Hundred Flowers Empress.

Fang Bai previously encountered disciples of the Hundred Flowers Empress and even journeyed with them to the Nine Nether Thunder Sea hoping to find the Hundred Flowers Empress, only to discover an Emperor’s Instrument related to her, but not her whereabouts.

When Fang Bai battled against the Demon Emperor, he noticed the Demon Emperor wore a Demon Ring similar to his own Five Elements Space Ring, prompting the speculation that the Demon Ring might contain what he’s seeking—Great Luo Immortal Emperor and even Hundred Flowers Empress.

"Where this Demon Emperor came from is unknown, yet his strength is extraordinarily powerful! Moreover, his Demon Ring can accommodate living beings, already exceeding the scope of an Emperor’s Instrument..."

As the Great Luo Immortal Emperor saw the Hundred Flowers Empress’s sorrowful expression, becoming increasingly saddened, he shifted the subject.

The Hundred Flowers Empress gently wiped away tears from the corners of her eyes, sighed softly, and said: "Letting Great Luo Immortal Friend see such a sight is quite embarrassing."

The Great Luo Immortal Emperor waved his hand to comfort her: "I understand your feelings... Actually, until the situation reaches the worst possible phase, we must not despair."

The Hundred Flowers Empress said: "The Demon Emperor’s strength likely finds no rival across the three realms. Unless... Fang Bai’s strength returns to its peak of days past..."

Toward the end, she laughed at herself and said: "Even if Fang Bai now possesses the capability to defeat the Demon Emperor, how would he know we’re inside his Demon Ring?"

"Alas!"

The Great Luo Immortal Emperor knew the Hundred Flowers Empress spoke truthfully that both she and he were indeed in peril of perishing by the Demon Emperor’s hands.

However, when that day would come was unknown.

......

Fang Bai tore open the void, traversing through Endless Space, and only appeared again in the Immortal Realm after fleeing tens of thousands of miles.

He employed his Divine Sense for internal inspection, and after thoroughly probing the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron and finding no damage to its body, he felt relieved.

Although both were Divine Artifacts, the Heaven Devouring Pot did not harm the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron, thus indicating it was more powerful than the Heaven Devouring Pot.

After all, Fang Bai’s Cultivation Level was far inferior to that mysterious Demon Emperor’s, and if both parties controlled equally powerful Divine Artifacts, Fang Bai’s Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron might have suffered.

Given the undamaged state of the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron, it clearly demonstrated its superiority over the Heaven Devouring Pot.

During the battle with the mysterious Demon Emperor, Fang Bai initially considered releasing seven Primordial Spirits to assist but refrained lest it expose his true identity, provoking a joint attack from the other two Demon Emperors, potentially harming Fang Bai’s own body.

Primordial Spirits, after all, were weaker than the original body and, once injured, could cause endless troubles.

This is also why strong figures across the three realms don’t release Primordial Spirits to aid in battle unless it’s a matter of life and death.

As for the two Demon Emperors previously absorbed by the Heaven Devouring Pot, they attempted to release their Primordial Spirits at the last moment so that even if their bodies perished, the Primordial Spirits could take over.

However, the Heaven Devouring Pot proved too formidable, and underneath its radiance, even if they wished to release their Primordial Spirits, they were powerless.

"If I can advance to the true Emperor Realm, I can surely contend with the mysterious Demon Emperor. With the aid of seven Primordial Spirits, defeating him would not be difficult."

Thus Fang Bai pondered, planning to leave the Demon Realm and return to the Immortal Realm to cultivate diligently.

Yet immediately he felt if the Great Luo Immortal Emperor and the Hundred Flowers Empress were indeed inside the mysterious Demon Emperor’s Demon Ring, and if, upon his leaving, the Demon Emperor were to harm them, wouldn’t he regret it forever?

After contemplating for a while, Fang Bai decided to transform into another identity, conceal his Emperor Realm Cultivation, and then seek the mysterious Demon Emperor.

After the prior battle, Fang Bai had become familiar with the mysterious Demon Emperor’s aura, and no matter how he might disguise himself, Fang Bai was confident in recognizing him.

As long as he could consistently pursue the traces of the mysterious Demon Emperor, he could simultaneously cultivate and seize his Demon Ring when the opportunity arose.

Thinking thus, Fang Bai transformed into the appearance of an elderly beginner-stage Demon Emperor Realm expert, heading back toward Heaven Devouring Peak.

Upon returning to Heaven Devouring Peak, it was desolate, and the mysterious Demon Emperor was nowhere to be seen.

Fang Bai felt relieved as the mysterious Demon Emperor hadn’t torn open the void to depart but had instead flown away, enabling Fang Bai to follow his aura.
