Screech—
The firmament was torn apart, and overwhelming demonic energy blanketed the 3,000 worlds. An immortal giant hand intercepted the chaotic finger.
“Yun Wangshu, this boy has a demonic heart—he’s born to cultivate in the demonic path. We Ancient Heavenly Demons want him!”
A single flower reflected an entire world, revealing five demonic figures, each emanating sinister aura and boundless demonic might, wrapped in divine radiance as if capable of piercing the universe.
All five were Saints, hailing from the terrifying Ancient Heavenly Demon clan. Their king had launched the Era War in primordial times and buried an entire age.
If not for Yun Wangshu manifesting the 3,000 Grand Worlds, the outside world would already be in turmoil.
“You’re welcome to try,” Yun Wangshu stood midair with fluttering robes, unmatched in beauty, her starlike eyes glowing with golden radiance, reflecting world after world.
“Why waste words with her? It’s just the Extreme Emperor Art of the Southern Ridge Emperor. With the five of us Saint Kings, we can break it head-on!”
Sanghuang Yaofutian licked his purplish lips greedily, “Slaughter her. That body must taste exquisite.”
“Don’t be careless. She’s already reached the Great Saint Realm. We can’t subdue her in a short time. Yongye Shenyuan, take the boy!” Boluo Moni’s voice shook the heavens.
Yongye Shenyuan swung a massive hand, tearing open the void, attempting to seize Ye Chen.
But Yun Wangshu would never allow it. She understood what Ye Chen represented. If he fell into the hands of the Ancient Heavenly Demons, the consequences would be unimaginable.
She struck out with a divine ray, but the other four Ancient Heavenly Demons intervened and blocked her.
“You’ve just stepped into the Great Saint Realm. You won’t be able to keep him,” Youhun Motian mocked, the others gazing at Yun Wangshu with scornful, desecrating eyes.
“Courting death,” Yun Wangshu snapped coldly, forming seals with her jade hands and chanting ancient scripture, “One flower, one world. One leaf, one Bodhi!”
Buzz—
The 3,000 Grand Worlds transformed. Laws and order shifted. Yongye Shenyuan, who was attempting to take Ye Chen, was forcefully dragged back.
“This is a world created by me. All laws and order belong to me!”
Flowers fell across the 3,000 realms, leaves layered over tens of thousands of paths, forming a torrential rain of Dao vitality that veiled the sky.
Yun Wangshu’s figure overlapped endlessly, merging into the Bodhi leaves. World origin gushed out. Sun and moon essence, heaven and earth energy surged.
“She actually comprehended the Extreme Emperor Art! We must leave now! If those forbidden beings awaken early, the outcome will be disastrous!” Boluo Moni exclaimed in shock, forming seals with her jade hands as countless demonic rays exploded forth.
The other Ancient Heavenly Demons didn’t dare to hesitate and unleashed all their power to resist the Bodhi leaves’ might.
In a blink, worlds collapsed and reformed, divine radiance bursting from the ruins with terrifying intensity.
Just then, a world was torn open, space collapsed, and black holes formed one after another.
The demons were drenched in blood from head to toe, while Yun Wangshu remained as ethereal as a fairy of the Moon Palace, her robes fluttering, her presence holy and transcendent.
“She’s far stronger than we imagined,” Yongye Shenyuan said solemnly.
Xuelai Guixu opened his bloody maw, “Sacrifice!”
He began devouring, tearing open the black hole and connecting to another world. “Go!”
The Ancient Heavenly Demons dragged Ye Chen and dove into the black hole without hesitation.
Yun Wangshu’s phoenix eyes turned cold. She raised her hand and unleashed chaotic light at Xuelai Guixu.
Pfft—
Xuelai Guixu vomited blood, yet still endured, maintaining the black hole. If he collapsed, the others wouldn’t escape either.
The other side of the black hole led to the void. If one missed a step, they would be trapped forever.
Thousands of ancient leaves pierced Xuelai Guixu’s massive demonic body, slicing him into countless fragments. He died completely.
With his death, the passage collapsed and sealed entirely.
Yun Wangshu’s starry eyes shimmered. The 3,000 Grand Worlds gradually faded.
Though the battle lasted long within, only a few seconds had passed outside—because all rules within the 3,000 worlds were under her control.
This was the terror of the Extreme Emperor Art—the terror of the Southern Ridge Emperor.
Yun Wangshu felt no joy. A cold aura surrounded her as she waved her sleeve and summoned Leng Qingqiu and Yu Youwei.
“Mas… Master…” Yu Youwei stammered, fearful of Yun Wangshu’s current state.
“Master, could you… bring Senior Brother Lin back?” Leng Qingqiu asked softly.
Yun Wangshu’s eyes turned cold as she glanced at the two. In her past life, she remembered clearly how these two had harmed Lin Luochen.
“Go to Punishment Cloud Cliff and reflect. Once you understand, come find me.”
Her voice remained beautiful, but distant and cold.
With that, Yun Wangshu tore open the void and left.
Yu Youwei and Leng Qingqiu’s eyes lit up with joy.
They knew Yun Wangshu was leaving seclusion, meaning she had agreed to search for Lin Luochen.
For them, losing Lin Luochen was the most terrifying thing. Being sent to Punishment Cloud Cliff to reflect was nothing in comparison.
…
“Damn it, we’re completely trapped here!” Sanghuang Yaofutian roared, staring at the unconscious Ye Chen. “It’s all because of this brat!”
“If not for him, that fool Xuelai Guixu wouldn’t have died!”
Under the faint glow, the four remaining Ancient Heavenly Demons sighed one after another.
They had fallen into a void space filled with chaotic spatial turbulence. Even Saints struggled here.
“The road ahead is endless. Looks like we’ll have to throw him away,” Boluo Moni said solemnly.
In this void, even surviving was difficult—bringing a burden like Ye Chen was out of the question.
After weighing pros and cons, they pushed Ye Chen out of the protective barrier.
They were stunned when Ye Chen wasn’t torn apart by the turbulence. Instead, his broken body slowly healed.
“He fell into the chaotic void and not only survived—his aura is recovering,” Boluo Moni said in disbelief.
Yongye Shenyuan and Youhun Motian were equally shaken.
Sanghuang Yaofutian pondered, then extended a demonic claw, “Ah—!”
A scream echoed. His hand was instantly shredded into powder by the void turbulence.
The other demons stared at him like he was a fool.
Other than being bold, Sanghuang Yaofutian was truly useless.
As they watched Ye Chen drift farther and farther, they regretted it.
Had they known earlier, Ye Chen’s body might’ve guided them out. Now, they were truly trapped.
Sanghuang Yaofutian sighed and looked at Boluo Moni, smiling, “Well, with the number one beauty of the Ancient Heavenly Demons beside me, it won’t be lonely.”
“Go die!” Boluo Moni brushed her hair aside and ignored him.
Youhun Motian rolled his eyes and said, “You still have the mood to flirt with Boluo? You should be thinking about how to get out of here.”
