Stealing The Heavens

Inside the cave, the colorful light had dissipated. Wu Qi and the little she-fiend lay on the ground, their arms and legs tangled with one another like two octopuses. They were both drenched in sweat, but Wu Qi’s face was flush and beaming with energy while the girl’s face was ashen, as if she had just recovered from an illness.

The intense battle had lasted over a month. They had been devouring each other’s energy essence, and in the end, Wu Qi had managed to seize over seventy percent of the she-fiend’s energy essence, pushing his magic power straight into the peak-level of Dao Breaking realm. With his present cultivation base, he would be able to fuse his divine soul with the Heavenly Dao when the time was right. From then onwards, he would not perish so long as Pangu World was not destroyed.

The little she-fiend, with her teeth tightly bit into Wu Qi’s shoulder, was grunting angrily. Her cultivation base had plunged from the peak of the Dao Breaking realm to the sixth-tier. But, her foundation was too profound, such that even though her magic power had dropped so much, she should be able to cultivate back to about the second-tier if given time. Wu Qi reckoned that if she were given many strong immortals and buddhas so she could kill them at will and plunder their energy essence, it would most likely only take her three to five months to return to her peak form.

Wu Qi could not help but feel shocked when he thought of the vast amount of energy essence that poured over from her body when they were having intercourse. She was indeed a freak! He had never heard any beings of the Chaotic World who could conceive such an enormous amount of energy essence.

There was one thing that really bothered Wu Qi now. In the beginning, the little she-fiend’s cultivation base was stronger than his, and when they were devouring each other’s energy essence, the natal energy had been flowing back and forth between their bodies and fusing with one another. It matched the law of mutual reinforcement and neutralization of the Yin and Yang. Because of that, she had conceived a nascent embryo in her, just like Princess Zhang Le. On top of that, the embryo was giving off an extremely bizarre aura, so strong and queer that it astounded even him.

He now had the chaotic spirit body, but his true self was still a human. The little she-fiend, on the other hand, was a real Shapeless Heavenly Fiend, the first generation of fiends who had the qualification of the Ancestral Fiend. What kind of children could their union produce? His hair stood on their ends as he sensed the aura of their child in her. He had a shivering feeling of meeting a natural enemy.

Had it not been because the embryo was constantly expressing an intimate feeling toward the little she-fiend and himself, Wu Qi would have probably destroyed it.

The little she-fiend gnawed the skin and flesh in her mouth. When she realized that Wu Qi’s skin was many times tougher than a cured cowhide, and she could never rip it apart with her teeth, she loosened her jaws unwillingly, then brushed her bright teeth against his chest.

“You’re hurting me!” She fixed her eyes at Wu Qi’s face as her slender waist twisted gently with an indescribable charm.

Her movement kindled Wu Qi. Shapeless Heavenly Fiends were especially good at arousing men’s various desires, and this little she-fiend, as the first generation of fiends with the qualification of Ancestral Fiend, was terrifyingly fearsome in terms of such an innate ability. With his current cultivation base, Wu Qi could never resist her horrible charm.

Soon afterward, the cave was once again filled with a peculiar sound. Wu Qi’s muffled groan and the little she-fiend singsong moan echoed in the air, and strong waves of energy spread out in all directions once more.

It was three days and three nights before they finished. Not daring to get tangled by her any longer, Wu Qi hurriedly freed himself from her and rose to his feet, then summoned a glob of water and cleaned his body. Next, he took out a robe and put it on. The little she-fiend stood up lazily, and like him, she cleaned her body and long hair with a glob of water, then put her arms around his waist. “My true name is Mo • Ming • Huan • Qixia. You can call me Mo,” she said weakly.

Wu Qi looked at her in surprise. While frowning, he asked, “Why can you tell me your true name now?”

She chuckled as she gently twisted her waist and said, “Why? This is the iron law of my people. Regardless of what methods you’ve used to make me do what we’ve done, I’m pregnant with your children. So, you are now my Lord Fiend, and I am your Lady Fiend.”

Counting on her fingers, Qixia giggled and said, “It doesn’t matter if you use force or something else! In any case, now things have become a forgone conclusion. From now on, you and I will always be together. If you leave me, you will die, and I will die too if I leave you!”

Before Wu Qi could respond, two plumes of dense dark smoke suddenly gushed out of their bodies and interwove with each other into a strange yet profound rune over them, then split into two and plunged into their foreheads. Wu Qi vaguely felt that there was something in him, as if he was indeed bound to Qixia by some kind of strange connection, one that made them share life and death together.

After a moment of silence, Wu Qi patted Qixia’s well-toned hip, then pulled out a blue daoist robe and shrunk it with a flick before giving it to her. She casually put the robe on while humming a little tune. When she was done, she squinted approvingly at him and said, “Shapeless Heavenly Fiends are the experts in seizing others’ energy essence, and yet my lord has plundered more than seventy percent of my energy essence. This alone makes my lord worthy of being my husband. Aye, even though I’ve yet to learn my lord’s name, I am already pregnant with my lord’s fiend embryo. This is so wrong!”

She rubbed her body against Wu Qi’s like a spoiled cat, twisting left and right like a huge caterpillar. Wu Qi was aroused once again. He slapped her hard a dozen times on the hip, then cried out coldly, “My name in this life is Wu Qi, and in my previous life, I was a Chaos Fiend God as well, named Lord Yuan Ling. I am now Great Yu’s King of Dong Hai, so you can call me my lord in front of others.”

Qixia’s eyes grew wide in surprise. She carefully studied Wu Qi, then narrowed her eyes as she smiled and said, “So, my lord has the same background as me…Then, you really deserve me. I am so lucky that I met my lord as soon as I intruded into this world. Well, when our fiend embryo is born, my clan will be able to flourish.”

The word ‘flourish’ gave Wu Qi a bad feeling. As he walked out of the cave with Qixia in his arms, he asked, “How long will it take for our child to be born? You have a sister named Ji Zixuan. She and I have a child too, but it’s not due for three eons.”

Qixia said carelessly, “Three eons? Our children won’t take that long. If it takes so long for them to be born, how could the Shapeless Heavenly Fiends put the Chaotic World in awe?” She counted on her fingers, then nodded seriously and said, “About twelve periods. My lord’s energy is very vigorous and of high quality, so we have conceived 360,000 children. When they are born, my lord will have to find suitable targets for them to get married, so that my people can flourish.”

360,000 children? Wu Qi was so terrified that his hair stood up and he almost fell to the ground. He looked at Qixia with a shudder. ‘What is this? With only our firstborn children, we can form an army?’

No words were exchanged through the entire returning journey. After several blind itinerant immortals who tried to rob them were drained of all their energy essence by Qixia to replenish her loss, Wu Qi brought her back to Dong Hai with a pale blue face. He was a little dazed by her words. 360,000 children? How could her tiny belly conceive so many children? Was there an interstitial world in her stomach?

As soon as they set foot in Dong Hai, Princess Zhang Le came to them with a large group of generals and soldiers. Two months ago, Ling Dynasty had launched an unprecedentedly fierce attack on Dong Hai. A large number of immortals appeared in their armies, some of which had even become seventy percent immortals and thirty percent human soldiers. The unprepared armies of Dong Hai had been forced to retreat more than 20,000 miles on the entire front, losing thousands of cities and fortresses with millions of soldiers killed.

Because of the tense situation, Princess Zhang Le had brought the higher-ups of Dong Hai and an army to the front to supervise the battles, and at the same time to rescue the defeated soldiers. Sensing Wu Qi’s return, she hurried up to meet him.

Qixia glanced greedily at the generals and soldiers of Dong Hai. In front of all the people, she counted on her fingers, then laughed and said, “My lord, there are over ten million ants with strong cultivation base in a million miles around here. Can I eat them all?”

A chill of horror rose in everyone’s hearts. Huang Liang, who stood closest to Wu Qi, felt strength leaving him and almost fell from the cloud. Everyone looked at the she-fiend in horror like a colony of rabbits seeing falcons soaring in the air. It was the instinctive fear of a weak creature encountering a natural enemy. Qixia’s eyes lit up as she studied the generals and soldiers in front of her, and she licked her lips with her tiny colorful tongue. She could hardly resist the thought of devouring them all.

Wu Qi patted Qixia on the head. He suddenly had a strange thought that Dong Hai was like a pig farm where he had risen countless fat, delicious pigs, and Qixia was a voracious tiger. By bringing a hungry tiger back to the pig farm, he was getting himself into trouble. He had a sudden headache.

Distressed, he gave the smiling Princess Zhang Le a look, then pushed Qixia to her side and said with a wry smile, “Help me teach her. By the way, she has my children in her belly, so you will be sisters.”

Shaking his head, Wu Qi solemnly warned Qixia not to make trouble in Dong Hai, then hurried to the front with a group of generals and soldiers. He was upset by what Qixia had told him, that she had conceived 360,000 children. He wanted to do something to vent his frustration, so he had decided to teach those bastards of Ling Dynasty a hard lesson.

So, Qixia was left with Princess Zhang Le. After Wu Qi left, the princess took the she-fiend back to her field headquarters at the front.

Three days later, the two women appeared together. Qixia was covered in precious pearls and stones of every color, dressed up like a beautiful jade doll. They called each other sister: Princess Zhang Le was the elder sister and Qixia the younger. The relationship between them seemed to be very harmonious.

Wu Qi could not figure out how Princess Zhang Le had managed to tame the heartless little she-fiend who acted solely on her instinct. But then, he had no time to figure that out.

The exasperated emperor of the Ling Dynasty, Zhang Tengyun, had personally led an army into Dong Hai.
