After nine lifetimes of reincarnation, the yandere villainous heroine descends.

"Don't go in..."

Outside, a voice suddenly rang out from within the girl who stood just a step away.

Although Su Chacha's consciousness was unable to take control of the body that originally belonged to her, she had a bad feeling at the moment.

It seemed that taking just one step forward would lead to disaster, a feeling that tightly enveloped her consciousness.

Tantai Chigu ignored the voice of Su Chacha's consciousness within his body.

Her fingertips, hanging at her sides, curled slightly. Even without her saying it, she could feel a power enveloping the space in front of her.

Moreover, within this power, she also vaguely sensed a soul fluctuation that resonated with her.

The fluctuation was faint, like a string transmitting sound from a thousand miles away, gently vibrating her bones and blood.

Without a doubt, that was the purpose of her trip, and also her obsession.

Tantai Chigu raised his eyes and gazed into the distance, his gaze piercing through the thin clouds and landing directly on the peak of the distant mountains.

There, a pair of eyes were staring back at her across the distance, the hatred surging in their depths like a poisoned, icy pool, the murderous intent gleaming like a drawn blade.

With just that one glance, her face remained calm and indifferent, but deep down, an extreme malice lurked within.

The next second, like a wildfire ignited, it surged wildly up the veins, burning the internal organs with a scorching, malevolent aura.

Without the slightest hesitation, she lightly touched the ground with her toes, her figure like a falling leaf, and stepped completely into the formation.

The moment her figure stood firmly in the center of the formation, a sinister voice, like a ghost, haunted her ear, carrying a bone-chilling cold: "Tantai Chigu, we meet again!"

Inside her body, Su Chacha's consciousness pleaded softly, her voice trembling with tears, "Sister... please stop."

But this faint sound could not penetrate the barrier of this body, nor could it reach Su Jue Luo's ears.

Tantai Chi lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes casting a cold, desolate shadow beneath them, his voice chillingly devoid of warmth: "You will die here."

"hehe……"

Su Jue Luo's laughter was filled with undisguised mockery.

"Tantai Chigu, it is still uncertain who will emerge victorious today, but you will surely die before me."

The laughter abruptly stopped, and a deep rumble suddenly echoed through the heavens and earth, as if the sky had been cleaved open by a giant axe.

Immediately afterwards, the immense power that had enveloped the surrounding area began to surge violently, like a deep sea that had been dormant for thousands of years.

With earth-shattering power, it crushed down fiercely on the isolated figure in the formation.

At the same time, wisps of dark mist slowly seeped into the surrounding world.

At first, it was as thin as a gossamer thread, but in an instant, it gathered into a mighty force that blotted out the sky, like an inverted abyss, dyeing the entire sky dark as ink.

Upon seeing this, Tantai Chigu's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

The power of the fog was nothing more than a gentle breeze brushing against the mountain to her, posing no real threat whatsoever.

But the darkness, as deep as an abyss, spread like thick ink on rice paper, instantly obscuring her vision and plunging everything around her into a chaotic blur.

Before she could concentrate on breaking the deadlock, a chilling sense of crisis suddenly rose from the darkness ahead.

Tantai Chigu's purple pupils suddenly contracted, and as the light in his eyes flickered, he vaguely caught a glimpse of a pure white figure emerging from the misty abyss like a ghost.

Before the fleeting image could even settle in her mind's eye, a sword blade, carrying a chilling killing intent, emerged from the deepest part of the darkness like a venomous snake, aiming straight for her face!

The sword's wind was fierce, and it even made a faint whistling sound as it cut through the air, as if the surrounding darkness had been cleaved open by this sword.

"Four years have passed. Only by killing you can we sever the source of this taboo!"

A clear, cold sound, like shattered jade striking ice, followed the sword.

Faced with this thunderous blow, Tantai Chigu's expression remained as calm and composed as an ancient pool, showing no sign of emotion.

With a slight twist of her wrist, several jet-black chains suddenly burst forth from behind her, each chain shrouded in a faint, eerie light.

Like a lurking black dragon, it burst forth with tremendous speed and collided violently with the thrusting sword!

"clang!"

The Purple Cloud Pavilion atop the mountain, with its upturned eaves shrouded in misty clouds, could not conceal the bone-chilling cold within.

Su Jue Luo stood leaning against the railing, her pale fingertips gently tracing the cold bars. Her gaze pierced through the clouds, landing on the churning, dark abyss below, her eyes filled with unyielding resentment and determination.

She understood from beginning to end that this was no ordinary killing formation.

It's more like an intricately woven net, framed by heaven and earth, and woven with resentment; its aim is never to achieve a swift and decisive victory.

Instead, he gradually dragged Tantai Chigu into the quagmire known as "Shen Shuchou".

Every wisp of power in the formation originates from the formation soul, and that formation soul is Shen Shuchou, whom she refined into the formation eye.

The dark mist below, obscuring the sky, was the primordial power flowing out after Shen Shuchou's soul was torn apart and crushed.

Amidst the swirling mist, faint, fragmented cries of souls could be heard, sounding like resentment, pain, and a forcibly distorted killing intent.

That was his remaining consciousness, forced by the array to transform into a sharp blade aimed at Tantai Chigu.

Each wisp of mist rising signifies that his soul has been refined a little more.

And his soul, which contained all life and memories, was now firmly held in Su Jue Luo's heart.

She used her own blood essence to firmly nail the soul to the array's core.

The operation of this formation requires a living vessel to support the soul core, so she was willing to transform her own body into a furnace to imprison Shen Shuchou and activate the killing scheme.

Her heartbeat intertwined with the trembling of her soul, her bloodline entwined with the resentment of her spirit.

With each breath, I am walking with this refined soul toward the abyss of destruction.

If Tantai Chigu wants to break the formation, he must personally shatter Shen Shuchou's soul.

If one wants to preserve his remaining soul, one can only allow oneself to be ground into ashes little by little by this soul-devouring formation.

She could almost see the despair that would appear on Tantai Chigu's perpetually frozen face when he finally saw the truth about the array's soul.

She then turned and walked toward the main hall where thousands of cultivators were hidden.

For the formation to maintain this power to devour souls, and even become stronger, it needs a continuous supply of "sacrifices".

The blood of those cultivators could not only nourish Shen Shuchou's shattered soul, but also strengthen the foundation of the formation.

Beneath the abyss forged by Shen Shuchou's soul, the entanglement between Tantai Chigu and Gu Jian, like ink staining rice paper, never ceased.

The sword's edge, with each rise and fall, carried the power of a desperate, all-or-nothing gamble.

The world of swordsmanship burst forth in his eyes, with thousands of sword shadows resembling an inverted Milky Way, and chilling sword energy cleaving through the deathly silence of the abyss.

At first, Tantai Chigu was quite composed in the face of Gu Jian's deadly move, effortlessly neutralizing the sharp sword edge.

Suddenly, she was startled, and from the black mist surrounding her, a familiar groan of pain drifted over.

The sound was like a silk string soaked in ice; a gentle pluck was enough to tug at the heartstrings.

At the same time, the scene before them suddenly distorted, and thick black mist snaked and coiled like a living snake, condensing and shaping in a bizarre manner, slowly outlining a human face filled with suffering.

"Lord Dao!"

"Brother Shen!"

Tantai Chigu and Su Chacha's consciousness burst out of his throat at the same time, his voice filled with shock.

She instinctively reached out, but before her fingertips could touch the illusory outline, the face suddenly twisted and shattered, transforming into a sword blade carrying overwhelming killing intent, piercing straight towards her like a falling meteor.

The trajectory of the sword was clear as if it were engraved. Tantai Chigu could have easily dodged it, but when he saw the trace of pain in Shen Shuchou's eyes left on the sword's edge, he froze.

The moment the sword pierced the chest, scalding blood beads trickled down the blade, blooming in the void of the abyss like shattered red plum blossoms, only to be swallowed by the black mist in an instant.

On the other side, Su Jue Luo stood quietly atop the mountain of corpses, the bodies of the Purple Smoke Cloud Pavilion cultivators piled up at her feet.

Her double-edged sword pointed diagonally at the ground, drops of blood slowly dripping from its sharp edge. Her eyes held no pity, only a deathly stillness colder than the abyss.

With each corpse that fell, its blood and soul were absorbed by the array spirit within her body like a tidal wave.

The tearing pain in her chest made her share the same purgatory-like torment as those souls that had been forcibly separated and then reforged.

Her cool, aloof face was covered in bloodstains, the crimson lines meandering across her fair skin like a river, making her already indifferent expression appear even more eerie.

Her face contorted in agony, yet a chilling smile played on her lips. Her hand, clutching her chest, trembled slightly as she murmured, "Shen Shuchou... I know you can hear me... Heh... You don't need to be afraid... I'll die with you... Hah..."
