  However, the Primordial Heart Devil didn’t present himself and merely imposed his influence from the faraway void. As such, the Chaotic Heavenly Devil Slaying Ritual utilized its effects to counter its opponent’s action.

  Yan Zhaoge was currently using one of the Jade Clear Primordial Scriptures’ Late Heaven Six Scriptures – the Heart’s Will Heavenly Scripture with his full might. With a thunderous explosion, the Heart’s Will Thunder exploded, causing the Chaotic Heavenly Devil Slaying Ritual to crumble.

  Then, the ritual was reversed!

  The light whips formed by the Chaotic Heavenly Devil Slaying Scripture reversed the effects and used the Heart Devil’s powers as its own!

  The ritual’s might was related to Yan Zhaoge’s cultivation, as well as his opponent’s cultivation. Yet, it was also associated with the ritual itself.

  Through the meticulous preparations done by Yan Zhaoge, Chen Xuanzong, and the others, paired with all the top-grade materials used to lay it down, the formation managed to reach its peak state.

  Moreover, the key factors that the ritual had been withstanding the Primordial Heart Devil’s infestation!

  With the reversal, a part of the Primordial Heart Devil’s authority was imbued within the ritual.

  Through the lashings, it immediately took effect on Yan Zhaoge’s opponents. Moreover, its effects were much stronger than the Primordial Heart Devil’s influence, cast from afar.

  Most importantly, everything happened too suddenly, which caught everyone off guard.

  The Demons attempted to evade, yet the light whips had already lashed onto them.

  After the Demons beneath the Grand Virtual Realm received the lash, they froze on the spot, unable to move.

  With their inner darkness disrupting their thoughts, the Heart Devil’s presence made illusions appear within their mind.

  Fighting aside, they couldn’t even stand properly anymore.

  The White Deer Demon and the other Grand Virtual Realm Demon Race Small Saints were in a somewhat better condition.

  While the darkness within their hearts started acting up, they diligently tried to stabilize their state of mind and suppress the thoughts.

  However, just a moment of confusion was sufficient.

  After all, the Great Demons were still facing opponents like Yan Di, Gao Qingxuan, and Ling Qing!

  With the explosion of the Heart’s Will Thunder, the Chaotic Heavenly Devil Slaying Ritual fell apart, signifying Yan Zhaoge’s command to start the counterattack.

  All-encompassing saber-lights and sword-lights skyrocketed, frenziedly sweeping throughout the entire void.

  With the lashes’ effects remaining intact and the group of Demons was being troubled by the Heart Devil, Yan Di and the others started their brutal counterattacks.

  The Demons beneath the Grand Virtual Realm were all slain, causing a vast sea of blood to appear by the void.

  The Demon Race Small Saint who had achieved Five Qis Unifications – Dragon King Huanchen’s body was split into two by Gao Qingxuan.

  Without putting up any form of defense, the White Deer Demon received Ling Qing’s punch, instantly inflicting heavy casualties upon him.

  When he finally managed to overcome the mess in his heart and attempted to flee, Yan Di had already closed in onto him.

  The White Deer Demon transformed back to his original form and fled with his hooves.

  Wherever he passed by, visible hoofprints were left behind by the void. Then, they transformed into mountains individually, forming a formation that sealed the void. Then, it came crashing down on his opponents.

  However, as Yan Di’s brutal saber-light flashed across, the mountains crumbled into specks of dust.

  Using that opportune moment, Ling Qing rushed towards him while holding the Holy Radiance Banner. The White Deer Demon could only watch in despair as the ax-like banner came crashing down with insurmountable momentum.

  The White Deer Demon, who was already deeply wounded, died by Ling Qing’s attack.

  The Great Demon, who had acquired the dao during the Middle era, and had survived through the Great Calamity, ultimately perished today.

  After Dragon King Huanchen, another Grand Virtual Realm Great Demon perished.

  The Jade Rabbit Demon sensed her enemies’ killing intent and felt a chill down her spine.

  She tried to calm her frightened self and lifted her posture. Then, she instantly transformed into a stream of white light and hopped far away, evading their attacks by a hair’s breadth.

  Then, she continued hopping away and finally managed to escape. Meanwhile, the other Demons like the White Deer Demon and Dragon King Huanchen could only await their fate of being slain by the cold-blooded attacks.

  Within the void, the Nine-Headed Bug radiated with brilliance. Whenever the whip lashed him, the brilliance stopped shining momentarily.

  Other than the Grand Heavenly Realm Devil Lord, only Feng Yunsheng could make out his figure.

  The Nine-Headed Bug was startled for a while. However, rather than his expression becoming blank, he looked more like he was shocked.

  If the Primordial Heart Devil descended personally, he would remain cautious.

  For a top-notch bigwig like him, it didn’t matter if he received the Heart Devil’s attack, which came from a distance.

  With his mild startle, Yan Di and the others had already made their counterattack, slaying countless Great Demons along the way!

  Feng Yunsheng, who was in a grave situation, took the opportunity to retreat.

  Instead, the Devil Lord roared and chased after her.

  Feng Yunsheng exchanged blows against him, which forced him backward. Then, Feng Yunsheng transformed into a blaze of dark inferno and quickly dropped downwards, joining Yan Di and the others.

  The Chaotic Heavenly Devil Slaying Ritual’s light circles crumbled, transforming into eighty-one light whips that lashed outwards.

  Being tightened to the extreme, the light whips finally broke apart, turning into roving streams of lights that flew apart.

  Through the tug of these eighty-one majestic streams of lights, the void by the Chaotic Heavenly Devil Slaying Ritual’s location was torn apart.

  A black hole formed, devouring the myriad of items around it.

  After Yan Di and the others successfully executed their counterattacks and massacred the Demons group, they didn’t covet killing the others. Instead, they immediately retreated and entered the black hole along with Feng Yunsheng.

  Yan Zhaoge, who was atop the black hole, did the same.

  Seeing Yan Zhaoge and the others on the verge of disappearing within the black hole, the Nine-Headed Great Sage and the Devil Lord snorted.

  Domineering Demonic qi and Devilish qi enveloped the entire space, freezing the black hole that was torn apart!

  The space transformed and was close to returning to its calm state. The two Grand Heavenly Realm experts forcefully sealed a black hole which even a Virtual Immortal would struggle to keep their footing.

  Everything within the black hole remained on the spot!

  However, Yan Zhaoge, who stood by the front of the black hole, threw an item forward.

  Its two sides were sharp, and its middle part was thick, resembling a stitching awl.

  It seemed so unremarkable, yet its effects were insurmountable.

  The Nine-Headed Hydra’s Demonic powers and the Devil Lord’s Devilish Qi surged. The surface of the stitching awl shone with vivid brilliance, causing the Demonic powers and Devilish qi to offset each other.

  The Devilish powers were more potent, which offset the Devilish qi. However, it became unstable as well.

  The black hole immediately returned to normal. As space distorted, it devoured Yan Zhaoge and the others before disappearing.

  “… Yin Yang Reversal Distortion Awl?!” The Jade Rabbit who fled afar looked back and saw the awl-like treasure. Upon seeing it, she instantly became shocked.

  The Nine-Headed Bug’s majestic intent de
scended, and an unmaskable furiousness could be sensed from him, “What’s that?”

  “If I’m not mistaken, this treasure is called the Yin Yang Reversal Distortion Awl. Its specialty is to mediate and offset two completely different kinds of strength. That treasure offset your Demonic powers and the Devil Lord’s Devilish qi.”

  The Jade Rabbit Demon’s face was filled with disbelief, “Even in the past, the method of this treasure was considered a top-secret. Even the Extreme Yin Star Lord didn’t know the refinement method and merely remembered its name and appearance. This is the first time I’ve seen the actual thing.”

  “Yin Yang Reversal Distortion Awl…” The Nine-Headed Bug repeated.

  “Even if Yan Zhaoge had acquired the Pill Hall, he wouldn’t have acquired the secret formulae for that item, should he?” The Jade Rabbit Demon’s face was filled with helplessness, “Was it the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor or the North Star Emperor who passed it down to him? However, after so many years, I’ve never seen them using it at all.”

  The Nine-Headed Bug snorted, “Stop blabbering. There’s no need to remain here any longer, so let’s leave for now.”

  Despite saying that, among all the Demons that accompanied him over, only the Jade Rabbit Demon managed to escape the massacre. Most others were already killed during the battle, while only a minority managed to survive the slaughter.

  Among them even included the Demon Race Small Saints like the White Deer Demon and Dragon King Huanchen.

  The Nine-Headed Bug could only be filled with humiliation.

  Most importantly, while Yan Zhaoge and the others retreated safely, and the Water Devil failed to reincarnate, he didn’t contribute to anything at all. Such results made his conceited self filled with rage.

  As a powerful Demon Race Great Sage that had survived since the years of yore, his pride was severely damaged.

  The Water Devil’s reincarnation failed, yet he didn’t manage to acquire the Pill Hall. The Nine-Headed Great Sage subconsciously changed his target to the Grand Heavenly Realm Devil Lord.

  If he could kill the opponent right in front of his eyes, he would undoubtedly cause a massive blow to the Nine Underworlds. At the very least, he wouldn’t return empty-handedly, as such a feat was deemed beneficial to the Demon Race.

  However, the Grand Heavenly Realm Devil Lord knew his place very well.

  Seeing how Yan Zhaoge and the others managed to escape through the Yin Yang Reversal Distortion Awl, and being aware of the fact that he couldn’t possibly defeat the Nine-Headed Bug, his very first reaction was to retreat and flee from this area.

  The Water Devil’s reincarnation failed, and he didn’t manage to capture Feng Yunsheng. There wasn’t any more reason for the Great Devil to continue fighting against the Demon Race.

  To him, this wasn’t the end, as there was something else he had to attend to.

  Other than the Water Devil, the Earth Devil had also been coveting for a physique to undergo reincarnation.

  If he succeeded, the Nine Underworlds would undoubtedly reverse the outcome of this match.

  “I don’t believe that you can find another Domain of Thousand Scales. Besides, that weird ritual must’ve been created using countless resources and efforts. Do you even have sufficient treasures capable of constructing a second one?”

  With an ice-cold killing intent permeating, the Devil Lord departed from the void.

  As the Nine-Headed Bug paid attention to the Yin Yang Reversal Distortion Awl, the Great Devil took the opportunity to escape.

  Now, he had finally calmed down, “Let’s go. There’s still the Earth Devil.”

  Then, he immediately left the area. The Jade Rabbit Demon and other Demons that were fortunate enough to survive quickly followed after him.

  Within a different universe separated by multiple layers of space, the pitch-black void suddenly cracked open, disrupting the starry skies’ tranquil ambiance.

  From the crack, Yan Zhaoge and the others appeared.

  The Yin Yang Reversal Distortion Awl managed to incite the clash of strength between the Nine-Headed Bug and the Great Devil, causing them to offset each other.

  However, since the Nine-Headed Bug was stronger, he managed to affect the black hole which Yan Zhaoge and the others used to escape.

  Only, his powers were already weakened dramatically. As a result, he couldn’t prevent their departure.

  With the two Grand Virtual Immortals – Gao Qingxuan and Ling Qing’s protection, the group didn’t separate from each other within the whirlpool of space. They managed to escape from the black hole together.

  Yan Zhaoge held Feng Yunsheng and supported her.

  The instant the space around them stabilized, Feng Yunsheng immediately sat down by the void. The dark devilish embers burning by her skin released an encompassing aura.

  Cracks even appeared by the black jade bottle gifted by the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor.

  Feng Yunsheng’s expression constantly changed. They interchanged from calmness to the outbreak of vicious ferocity and occasionally ice-cold solitariness.

  Currently, she had to suppress her devilish intents. Outsiders wouldn’t be capable of assisting her.

  They shouldn’t even come in contact with the devilish flames burning by Feng Yunsheng’s skin. Otherwise, they might be infested with devilish intent.

  Fortunately, as time passed, the devilish flames raging by her skin gradually died down, while her expression returned to peacefulness.

  Seeing that Feng Yunsheng’s condition had temporarily stabilized, Yan Zhaoge, who had been paying close attention to her the entire time, finally let out a sigh of relief. Then, he waved his sleeve. As radiances sparkled, they devoured Feng Yunsheng, causing her to disappear.

  Bringing Feng Yunsheng along with her, the group of people continued on their journey.

  “How’s Senior Chen?” asked Yan Di.

  “He’s safe… He’s safe for now.” Yan Zhaoge spoke as he walked, “Fortunately, Senior Jie and Senior Chu had already ascended to the Immortal Realm, and their martial arts were of the same origin as the Astro Sovereign. Thanks to that, they managed to secure the Astro Sovereign’s life at the crucial moment.”

  “Only, by doing so, they had a price to pay. Just like how the Astro Sovereign is right now, their lives are hanging by a thread.”

  Yan Zhaoge sighed softly, “Right now, we’re powerless to do anything. We can only hope that they’ll manage to overcome this hardship one day.”

  Yan Di asked softly, “How long will it take?”

  “Maybe a hundred years, maybe a thousand…” Yan Zhaoge answered, “Maybe ten thousand, or maybe an eternity…”

  Yan Di took a deep breath, “If the Demon Race didn’t interfere, things wouldn’t have ended up like this!”

  “On the bright side, at least there’s a sliver of hope left. Senior Chen, Daoist Jie, and Daoist Chu will surely be safe.”

  Yan Di was currently sitting on the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud, meditating in a lotus position. He adjusted his breath and allowed the cloud to carry him as he was brought away by Yan Zhaoge.

  During the previous battle, his saber had remained sanctimonious. By borrowing the interchanging eras’ powers, he was exceptionally domineering when fighting against other Virtual Immortal experts.

  Only, with such flashy fighting technique, came its repercussions. It took a considerable toll on his stamina. Even with the Cyclic Heavenly Scripture, the Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture, the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture, and many other supreme arts, he couldn’t withstand the fatigue.

  “Let’s quickly return to the World beyond Worlds,” said Yan Di in a slow manner.

  Yan Zhaoge nodded, “Right.”

  Currently, Shi Jun and his mother were still located at the Awakened Sky Cosmos’s Sky beyond Skies, within the Pill Hall.

  Initially, the Nine Und
erworlds planned for the Water Devil and the Earth Devil to undergo the process of reincarnation together, which would undoubtedly cause distraction among Yan Zhaoge’s bunch.

  However, with the Pill Hall and the Earth Splitting Pearl aid, Yan Zhaoge managed to delay the Earth Devil’s reincarnation, which allowed him to deal with the Water Devil first.

  Now that the Water Devil had perished, he wouldn’t be able to reincarnate for the time being. Naturally, Yan Zhaoge and the others shifted their target and decided to deal with the Earth Devil.

  “Is there still no response from Yue Zhenbei and Little Ye’s side?” asked Gao Qingxuan, and they continued forward.

  Yan Zhaoge nodded, “I tried to contact them just now, and only senior apprentice-uncle Yue replied. He said that he would meet up with us later, but I didn’t receive any response from senior apprentice-brother Nie and senior apprentice-sister Yue.”

  Gao Qingxuan nodded slowly, with a worried expression filling her complexion.

  Her husband – Long Xingquan, lightly grabbed her hand, “Old Woman Li will be fine.”

  “I’m not worried about Yue Zhenbei, I’m…” Gao Qingxuan softly shook her head and stopped herself from continuing any further.

  Yan Zhaoge and the others exchanged glances. Within their gazes, hints of worrying were permeating.

  Initially, they assumed that the hostage would be Jie Mingkong. The ones waiting in ambush were Yue Zhenbei, who was comparatively much familiar with Jie Mingkong.

  To everyone’s surprise, the hostage was the Vine Sovereign – Li Ying.

  With the hostility they harbored against each other, no one could imagine how things would turn out.

  “Senior apprentice-sister Yu might be able to amend their relationship,” said Yan Zhaoge as he comforted everyone.

  Suddenly, the Exalted Lunar Luminary – Ling Qing’s complexion changed a little. She slowly widened her mouth and said, “I’ve received news from the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor.”

  “The Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor, Daoist Suo, and the Incongruence Divine Mother are fighting against the Primordial Heart Devil and the Wood Devil by the void’s outskirts.”
