Gu Wenxun gritted his teeth, his internal energy surging wildly, pushing his demonic body's regenerative abilities to their limit.

He swallowed more than a dozen mouthfuls of blood before he could barely suppress the pain in his chest and stand up straight again.

Xuan Tian Zhenjun stood a hundred feet away, looking at him calmly.

"That's interesting."

"There is something inside your body that this world does not allow to exist."

Gu Wenxun felt his hair stand on end.

His intuition was screaming at him, telling him to run.

Run as far as you can.

He turned to run away.

But Xuan Tian Zhenjun was faster than him.

The white figure appeared in front of him in a flash, and a slender, fair hand pressed down on him.

The hand gesture appeared casual, yet it carried an indescribable sense of inevitability.

Gu Wenxun tried desperately to dodge, but no matter which direction he dodged, the hand always appeared precisely at the intersection of all his escape routes in an extremely natural way.

It seems that whether you hide or not is completely irrelevant.

Gu Wenxun was driven to the brink of despair by this palm strike.

He frantically burned his soul, unleashing one forbidden technique after another, fighting against the hand with all his might.

boom!

Terrifying energy ripples exploded in mid-air.

Gu Wenxun spat out several more mouthfuls of blood, tumbling through the air countless times before finally losing his balance.

His demonic body had split open, with wounds extending from his head to his feet, so deep they almost cut him in two.

Chen Ya, who was on his back, had completely fainted, her soul so faint that it seemed she would dissipate at the slightest touch.

Gu Wenxun's consciousness began to blur.

"Chen Dou...it seems my life is coming to an end..." He gave a bitter laugh in his mind.

"What?!" Chen Dou's voice was a mixture of surprise and anger. "Didn't you say you were incredibly lucky to be alive?!"

"Yes...that was before..." Gu Wenxun's voice grew weaker and weaker, "We weren't very lucky, we encountered someone with great fortune..."

"I'm entrusting this body to you now. I know that with your rational self, you can't unleash the true power of this body."

"It seems you're going to have to experience the feeling of losing your sister again. Sigh."

"You, the one who defies fate, seem to be truly miserable."

Chen Dou could no longer hear what the other person was going to do next; he only heard that his sister seemed to be going to die again.

His mind went blank, and wisps of demonic energy began to emanate from his body.

Xuan Tian Zhenjun had already approached.

He raised his hand high, and light was gathering in his palm, like a sword about to fall.

"That's enough," he said.

But just before the light was about to fade, this world suddenly seemed to be paused by something.

There were no signs, no energy fluctuations whatsoever.

The sound of the wind disappeared.

The flow of air has disappeared.

Even the spiritual energy that was originally omnipresent in the world stopped circulating.

Xuan Tian Zhenjun's movements stopped in mid-air.

The light remained condensed in his palm, but did not fall further.

The return crystal that Gu Wenxun had prepared was frozen in place by some force at this moment.

It can think.

But it can't move.

To be precise, everyone, everything, and all energy in this area were frozen in place.

Only the mind can still function.

A tremendous wave of emotion surged through everyone present.

Including Xuan Tian Zhen Jun.

His pupils contracted to their maximum size in that instant.

impossible.

In this world, there is someone who can simultaneously seal off the time and space of the entire universe right under his nose.

This is no longer an ordinary tactic.

This is……

The crushing power of the rules.

Then, a child who looked to be about six years old emerged from the void.

He was dressed in a magnificent cyan robe, his long cyan hair falling naturally in the still wind, with strands of gold and red interspersed among them, like a little fairy boy who had stepped out of a painting.

He slowly, step by step, walked to Chen Dou's side.

"Big bird..."

Chen Dou's consciousness returned the instant he saw Yun Yi.

For some reason, I felt a real sense of relief at that moment.

Yun Yi looked down at him, then at the tiny soul on his back that was about to dissipate, and sighed softly.

"That was quite a mess."

He raised his hand and patted Chen Dou on the shoulder.

In an instant, the demonic energy on the verge of collapse, the damaged meridians, the surging devouring power within Chen Dou's body, and even the rejection deep within his soul caused by the intrusion of Gu Wenxun's soul, all subsided with this single strike.

Like a pot of boiling water, it suddenly calmed down.

Yun Yi turned his head and looked at Xuan Tian Zhenjun, who was frozen in the air.

He tilted his head, a half-smile playing on the face of the six-year-old child.

"Do all the people in Heaven enjoy beating children?"

No one could answer him.

Because no one can speak up.

Yun Yi had no intention of listening.

He stood there, thinking for a moment.

"Never mind, let's go."

He grabbed Chen Dou's wrist with one hand and glanced back at the frozen Xuan Tian Zhenjun.

"Let's play again next time."

After they finished speaking, their figures slowly faded and disappeared into the world.

The moment they disappeared, the frozen spacetime resumed its flow.

The wind continues to blow. The spiritual energy continues to circulate.

Xuan Tian Zhenjun's palm fell, striking empty air.

There was nothing there.

He stood there, staring at the empty space ahead, motionless for a long time.

After a long while, he withdrew his hand, put it behind his back, and looked in the direction where Yun Yi had disappeared.

Those phoenix eyes opened slightly for the first time, revealing pupils that were extremely cold and aloof.

"Interesting," he said.

……

It was a desolate valley, remote and lacking in spiritual energy, where even wild animals were rarely seen.

Yun Yi released Chen Dou's wrist, and the two landed on a dry riverbed.

The ground was covered with gravel, and there were only a few old trees that were half-dead around, their leaves withered and yellow, drooping listlessly.

As soon as Chen Dou landed, his knees buckled.

He was panting heavily, his whole body trembling, his eyes red and swollen, staring intently at Yun Yi as if afraid that he would be gone in the blink of an eye.

"Big bird...is it really you..."

Yun Yi didn't speak, but looked Chen Dou up and down.

Compared to when they parted last time, Chen Dou's height hadn't changed much, but his entire aura was completely different.

More importantly, the other party has truly forged a different path.

First demon, then god.

It seems that distributing the "Gods and Demons Devouring Heaven" cultivation technique was indeed the right thing to do.

"Big bird!" Chen Dou cried out again, his voice trembling with tears.

"Stop howling," Yun Yi said calmly. "I'm not dead yet."

Chen Dou sniffed hard, about to say something, when Chen Ya, who had been unconscious behind him, stirred.

She opened her eyes groggily, her face pale and her lips bloodless, like a small white flower that could be blown away by the wind at any moment.

"elder brother……"

Her voice was soft and gentle, as if it came from a very, very far place.

Chen Dou quickly and carefully untied Chen Ya from his back and carried her to Yun Yi.

"Big Bird, can you check on my sister? She...she seems to be dying."

Yun Yi looked down at Chen Ya.

The little girl was also curiously looking up at the unfamiliar child in front of her.

Then she froze.

"Brother, who is this little sister?"

Chen Dou didn't react immediately: "What little sister?"

"It's her." Chen Ya pointed at Yun Yi with her little finger, her voice soft and sweet, "What a pretty little sister."
