Chapter 1272: My Son Is the Best

Ming Abi had not expected Xiang Shaoyun to be fine. The moment he heard Xiang Shaoyun’s voice, his heart sank. He tried to fly away with his devil core, but Xiang Shaoyun’s energy scattered his devilish energy as it reached for the devil core. With the devil core grasped in his hand, Xiang Shaoyun could easily crush it.

“Spare him!” said one of the imperial uncles.

The other imperial uncle said, “Spare him. I believe he has conceded at this point.”

Xiang Shaoyun raised his head, looked at the two imperial uncles, and smirked. “This is my spoil of war. I have the final say on what to do with it.”

Energy gathered in his palm and completely erased Ming Abi’s energy. Ming Abi had never imagined that he would be killed by Xiang Shaoyun. After all, he was a late-stage Devil Saint. Xiang Shaoyun had not destroyed the devil core. He still had use for it. Including Ming Pan’s core, he now had two devil cores sharing his bloodline in his hands. If he could absorb both the cores, his devil cultivation would rise sharply. 

The two imperial uncles had not expected Xiang Shaoyun to be so decisive. They raised their brows in anger.

“Hmph. Arrogant youngster,” said one of them before leaving with a cold snort.

The other imperial uncle sighed, “The young have always been fearless. I hope this boldness will always stay with you.”

He then left as well. The two imperial uncles weren’t nobodies, but even they didn’t dare to stop Xiang Shaoyun from executing his opponent in the colosseum. This was a fair fight, and the victor had the right to deal with the defeated as they wished. Nobody could interfere. This was the clan’s rule. 

The surrounding Imperial Nether Clan members started cheering.

“The nineteenth prince is truly amazing. He is the best.”

“Nineteenth prince, take me as your wife. I’ll treat you well.”

“The nineteenth prince is strong. He has a bright future ahead of him.”

…

The Imperial Nether Clan worshipped the strong, especially someone like Xiang Shaoyun, who had awakened three abilities. In their eyes, someone like him was fated to be extraordinary. They had forgotten the fact that he was half human. Since he was someone the Nether Monarch had personally appointed, there was no doubting his identity. 

Ming Fu was excited. As a mother, she was naturally overjoyed to see how strong her son was.

Xiang Shaoyun nodded at the surrounding Imperial Nether Clan members before heading to his mother. He held her hand and said, “Mother, I said I would win. Do you trust me now?”

“Yes, my son is the best,” said Mo Fu joyfully.

Hand in hand, the two returned to their palace. With the two battles, Xiang Shaoyun had established himself in the clan and proved himself worthy of being the nineteenth prince. Ming Fu had also been allowed to return to the royal family. She would no longer face any discrimination. This was a perfect example of a mother rising in glory alongside her son. 

How had Xiang Shaoyun survived Ming Abi’s suicidal attack? It was all thanks to the Nether Soul Dragon Headband. With his devilish energy, he was able to fully activate the headband and form a defensive barrier around him. The headband could now protect his entire person, not just his head. This was the benefit of his devil cultivation. Only with a true devil cultivation would he be able to properly utilize devil treasures. 

News of the battle quickly spread through the Imperial Nether Clan. Everyone learned of the nineteenth prince’s strength. They also learned of the fact that he was a prince the Nether Monarch had personally appointed. Plans started forming in the minds of these people.

If they could form a good relationship with the nineteenth prince while he was still new here, it would benefit them greatly in the future. And thus, numerous devils made their moves. Some tried to get an introduction through a middleman, some had presents delivered, and some proposed marriage. As a result, Xiang Shaoyun’s palace bustled with activity.

Xiang Shaoyun himself was surprised by the reaction. He had Ming Helian deal with the visitors. As for those not even Ming Helian could handle, he had his mother help him. He really didn’t want to deal with those people.

His mother might be an Imperial Nether Clan member, but he still wasn’t willing to develop a close relationship with all Imperial Nether Clan members. His biggest priority was still escaping this place.

If he was trapped anywhere else, he could easily leave after turning invisible. However, that ability wouldn’t be too effective here. Even with the Light of Wisdom, he couldn’t think of a way to escape. He could only focus on his cultivation.

Instead of astral energy cultivation, he focused on devilish energy cultivation. Apart from the three abilities, the Imperial Nether Clan also had many other battle techniques. He wanted to learn a few of them to increase his combat strength.

As he had a chakram, he decided to cultivate a technique called Nine Wheels Extermination. With this technique, he could properly utilize the chakram in combat. He brandished the chakram again and again, slashing, stabbing, spinning, and so on.

He had an easy time learning this technique. In only a few days, he fully mastered it. His control over the chakram became exquisite, allowing him to unleash great destruction. He could sense that his chakram wasn’t an ordinary saint weapon. It was at least a top-quality saint weapon. Otherwise, how would it be able to slice even space itself?

Apart from the Nine Wheels Extermination, Xiang Shaoyun also cultivated the forbidden technique, Devil Mist Dao Transformation. This was a technique many Imperial Nether Clan members cultivated because it was a good trump card to have. Xiang Shaoyun learned it from Ming Fu. Xiang Shaoyun initially didn’t want to learn it, but when he considered that he wouldn’t know what kind of enemies he might face in the future, he decided to learn it.

Time passed. Unknowingly, Xiang Shaoyun had stayed with the Imperial Nether Clan for two years. In the past two years, Xiang Shaoyun had spoken less and less. Apart from cultivating, he had only spent time with his mother. Now, he was a peak ninth-stage Devil Sovereign. His growth was astonishing.

However, his rapid growth was inevitable. His cultivation talent was simply too great. Coupled with the fact that he was located deep in the Devil Domain, he was able to advance quickly. Elsewhere, he wouldn’t have been able to grow so swiftly.

His mother had also regained her strength at a rapid speed. She had even advanced by two stages, becoming a sixth-stage Devil Saint. The devilblood heart wasn’t the only reason Ming Fu had been able to grow so fast. Xiang Shaoyun had also given her Ming Abi’s devil core. Before long, she would become even stronger. Both of them were cultivating hard so that their family could one day reunite. 

On one boring day, Xiang Shaoyun finally obtained a chance to leave the Imperial Nether Clan.
