I, the Lord of the Fifth Throne, am the source of all things!

The seventh brother, the last one, has no offensive power of his own, only magical weapons. He is the strongest when he has magical weapons and the weakest when he doesn't.

The accompanying magical artifact, the Purple Gourd, can absorb and refine all living beings, and release a centrifugal spell to destroy the minds of others.

Because without the magic weapon, the seventh brother is the weakest and most in need of training.

"I am ready. Come into my Xuanhuang Universe."

Duanmu Lian prepared all the cultivation methods and then opened the Xuanhuang Universe Inner Core within her body.

"Okay, here I come!"

Calabash Brothers sensed the call of its master, Duanmu Lian, and used its transformation technique to become a glittering Seven Hearts Pill.

Then, to the pangolin's astonishment, it flew directly into Duanmu Lian's dantian Xuanhuang universe.

Having arrived in the Xuanhuang Universe, the Calabash Brothers, with their Seven Hearts Pill radiating seven-colored light, split into seven smaller Calabash Brothers, who then began cultivating their own unique techniques in this universe.

The power of the seven Calabash Brothers also merged seamlessly with that of Duanmu Lian.

The Calabash King Kong has now become the embodiment and inner elixir of Duanmu Lian.

What can be united can also be separated.

Moreover, the seven Calabash Brothers are constantly cultivating in the Xuanhuang Universe, which will increase Duanmu Lian's power several times over.

...............

After collecting all the earth's veins and the thick, primordial soil, Duanmu Lian took out the Book of Omniscience and went to the next place.

As for the snake demon and scorpion demon, there are Kurumi and Ryuu.

They are now engaged in a fierce battle inside someone else's monster cave.

"You two little vixens, how dare you be so insolent!!!"

A massive demonic aura filled the entire demon cave. The scorpion demon, wielding a large cleaver, unleashed a dense barrage of blades as she attacked the two women who had come to her door.

Liu Zi took a step back, her figure turning into a blurry afterimage, but the scythe that stretched out from under her skirt also transformed into countless slashing lights, clashing head-on with the scorpion demon.

Clang clang clang clang clang bang clang clang clang clang clang!

Their weapons clashed violently in mid-air at extremely high speeds, with countless sparks bursting out densely as the scythes and machetes clashed.

At the same time, the residual force that poured out cleaved the surrounding lesser demons who had no time to escape into pieces, turning the ground beneath their feet into ruins.

The more they fought, the more alarmed the scorpion demon became, realizing that this woman, to whom she could not sense any cultivation, actually possessed such strength.

"This is a magical artifact!!"

Seeing that the scorpion demon was locked in a stalemate, the alluring female snake demon, with her double-ringed hair, snake scale vest, yellow floral ribbon skirt, and snake tail, raised the golden ruyi in her hand and blew on it.

In an instant, a cold storm that froze everything swept out from the Ruyi.

The storm then spread, growing larger and larger, and blew towards Tokisaki Kurumi and her clones.

Wherever the cold wind passes, everything freezes.

This reminded Tokisaki Kurumi of the spirit Yoshino Himegawa.

"Unfortunately, ice will melt one day."

Kurumi Tokisaki used the Breath of Time to blow out a jet-black shadow wind, directly withstanding the cold air storm blown out by the Snake Spirit with her Ruyi.

The result of the collision is quite obvious.

The Breath of Time and Shadow stirred up a storm, directly overwhelming the snake spirit's cold air storm with a crushing and devastating force.

"what!!!"

Sensing the intense deadly aura emanating from the black wind before her, the snake spirit's skin crawled with goosebumps, and she hurriedly cast a spell to evade it.

Unexpectedly, the black storm still managed to touch his arm.

In an instant, the snake spirit's fair and delicate arm transformed into the old man's arm, which was full of wrinkles and age spots.

"lady!!!"

Seeing the snake demon's miserable state, the scorpion demon was thrown into disarray and roared, revealing her true form.

At that moment, an enormous scorpion appeared inside the cave.

The other party roared and used its crab-claw-like tentacles to block the snake spirit, taking the time-stealing effect of the Time Shadow Breath for her.

Then, the opponent's tail spike also shot out in a blur, directly withstanding the combined attack of Tokisaki Kurumi and Ryuu.

Soon, countless wounds appeared on the scorpion demon's shell.

A large amount of mucus dripped from the gaps in the wound.

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing the scorpion demon's miserable state, the golden snake demon screamed and wanted to rush forward and fight them.

But suddenly the scorpion demon lashed out with its tail, using a clever force that wouldn't hurt the golden snake demon, sending it flying.

"Cough...Madam, hurry! Go find your sister! If you can avenge her, then do so; if not, then live well!!!"

After Tokisaki Kurumi transformed the miniaturized space into bullets, and Ryuu gathered imaginary energy into the muzzle of the cannon, the Scorpion Demon knew that she was doomed.

So in this critical moment, the scorpion demon, in desperation, knocked the golden snake demon away, hoping she could survive.

Although this monster couple committed all sorts of evil deeds, their affection for each other was completely genuine.

"Escape? No one can escape the pursuit of time."

Although the relationship between the two yokai was touching, Kurumi Tokisaki was not moved at all by the two wicked yokai.

She sneered, and after shattering the scorpion demon's stinger with a spatial shock bullet, she immediately unleashed both Bullet 1 and Bullet 11 simultaneously.

First Bullet: Time Acceleration.

Eleventh Bullet: Send the target to the future.

Kurumi Tokisaki, who combined the two bullets, looked at the infinite future with her golden clock eyes, and then fired directly at the future timeline.

“Bang bang bang bang bang!!!”

Although it was clearly a pistol and a rifle, in Tokisaki Kurumi's hands it was like a machine gun firing.

One after another, strange bullets shot out and then disappeared into the void.

And the other side.

Filled with grief and hatred, the Golden Snake Demon, who had just escaped from her cave with the help of the Scorpion Demon, was about to transform into a beam of light to find her younger sister, the Green Snake Demon, and seek revenge.

But at that moment—

"Puff puff puff puff!!!"

Quite suddenly, the Golden Snake Demon's vision went black, and her consciousness vanished into darkness.

Suddenly, her head was blown apart, a large hole was opened in her chest, and her arms and lower body snake tail were pierced by the sudden spiritual energy bullet.

The golden snake spirit convulsed and transformed into its original form, becoming a headless, fragmented black snake with golden stripes.

The fusion of the First Bullet and the Eleventh Bullet: the Eternal Bullet.

First, observe the infinite future with your eyes, then simply aim a gun at the future time you see.

Kurumi Tokisaki hit the Golden Snake Demon at this particular point in time.

However, this technique also has limitations; the power consumed increases exponentially as the future becomes more distant.

"Thud—"

As Duanmu Lian, riding on her Wind and Fire Wheels, descended from the sky, she witnessed the Golden Snake Demon being shot to death by a hail of spears.

He walked to the corpse of the golden snake, picked up the golden ruyi that had fallen to the side, and then dug out the snake's gall and demon core.

This is the gallbladder and demon core of a ten-thousand-year-old snake spirit. The demon core can be used to refine medicine, and the snake gallbladder is an extremely rare medicinal ingredient.

"Master Duanmu."

Just then, Ryuu and Tokisaki Kurumi also came out and handed a round ball to Duanmu Lian.

Clearly, that was the scorpion demon's inner core.

"You're not hurt, are you?"

Duanmu Lian used a cleansing spell to remove the bloodstains from Tokisaki Kurumi and Ryuu's bodies, and then looked the two up and down.

Liu Zi shook her head, indicating that she had not suffered any damage.

As for Tokisaki Kurumi?

"It only injured one of its clones; this snake demon is truly cunning when it comes to fighting."

Kurumi Tokisaki glanced at the golden snake's corpse, which was torn to pieces and had its head blown off, lying to the side.

She wasn't seriously injured; only one of her clones was damaged, but it wasn't a major problem.

Before she arrived, Nia Honjo had warned her that the Golden Snake Demon was more difficult to deal with than the reckless Scorpion Demon, and was also very cunning.

Kurumi Tokisaki also personally experienced the treacherous nature of this snake demon. If she hadn't been so careful using her clones, she might have been caught off guard and suffered a terrible fate.

"Then these three items will be your reward."

Duanmu Lian chuckled and raised the two ten-thousand-year-old demon cores and the snake gall in his hand. Apart from the snake gall, he planned to give the two demon cores to Tokisaki Kurumi.

After all, it was the other side that killed the monster.

"...It seems like this is useless to them."

Tokisaki Kurumi raised an eyebrow, then looked at the two demon cores in Duanmu Lian's hand, and lightly touched her pink lips.

She didn't know what the two demon cores were for.

She ate them? She dared not eat the inner cores of two poisonous demons, for fear of something going wrong.

"Then let's make it work for you. Come with me."

Duanmu Lian knew that they were just two demon cores and wouldn't be of much use to Tokisaki Kurumi, but he had a way to turn them into something that could be used on her.

After saying that, he led Liu Zi and Kuang San directly to the back mountain of the monster's cave.

Eight thousand years ago, the Antarctic Immortal had a divine alchemy furnace hidden in a deep pool behind the mountain.

Soon, Duanmu Lian led the two to their destination, where they could clearly see the alchemy furnace in the pool using her clairvoyance.
