He became the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws starting from Liaozhai.

"Heh, you're so sure I'll lose? Doesn't that just prove you're feeling insecure?" Xu Yi wasn't bothered by psychological pressure. For him, you never knew who the final winner would be until the very end.

There was no intention to hold a celebration banquet halfway through the process; one must never let one's guard down until the matter is resolved.

"Hmph!" Shi Chongming snorted coldly. He also felt a lot of pressure. Xu Yi's strength was really strange. How could he be so strong? This was only at the peak of Qi Refining. If his cultivation level were higher and he were at the same level as him, what would happen? Wouldn't that cause the sky to fall?

"It seems I can't let you live today, Xu Yi!" Shi Chongming shouted. He had fully recovered his strength and was in excellent condition. He had taken the medicine given to him by the Stone Tablet Master, which could greatly enhance his strength in a short period of time.

The stone tablet told him that it was for emergencies, but it should not be used lightly, otherwise there would be serious consequences.

At the time, Shi Chongming specifically inquired about the price of the prophecy stele.

However, the prophecy stele ignored him and did not respond at all, which frustrated Shi Chongming. Although this was not the first time the prophecy stele had acted this way, it was only when he was there that the prophecy stele had changed. From the beginning, the prophecy stele had never interfered in the affairs of the Five Poisons Sect.

Everything started with him. What does that tell us?

Shi Chongming had long since fallen into madness. In his view, this was the prophecy stone tablet's approval of his performance, indicating that the prophecy stone tablet believed he had the ability to overturn everything, and the ability to be born with him and overturn everything together.

This has always been Shi Chongming's idea. He has gone mad. If others knew what he was thinking, they would probably be shocked by his ideas, as they are simply incomprehensible.

However, in Xu Yi's opinion, Shi Chongming was simply misled by the prophecy stele. Xu Yi believed that the prophecy stele had the ability to bewitch people's minds, which was very likely an ability he was born with.

It seems there's still a tough battle ahead. However, Xu Yi has his own ideas. He's gambling. If he wins, he'll live; if he guesses wrong, he'll die. But what Xu Yi fears least right now is death. He knows clearly that the world he's in isn't the real world. It's a world that the Myriad Demons Record guided him into. There's a cause and effect that will definitely occur here: Xu Yi will become the strongest person and eventually overturn the entire world.

This was the answer Xu Yi already knew. If everything here didn't go according to Xu Yi's plan, how could there have been any subsequent events? Cause and effect are inevitable and unique.

If that's the outcome, then how could an accident have happened along the way?

Having figured these things out, Xu Yi wasn't so afraid anymore. Even if he died, so what? Xu Yi wasn't afraid of these things. Even if this world died, Xu Yi knew that he would still live in the future. Moreover, the Ten Thousand Demons Record also said when he left that the flow of time in this world was even different.

He's been in this world for so long, so only a second has passed in the future? Or maybe two seconds.

This bizarre claim made Xu Yi feel even more bewildered.

Just how powerful is the Myriad Demons Record?! Xu Yi truly couldn't fathom it.

However, since he couldn't figure it out, Xu Yi decided not to think about it anymore. There was no need to. No matter what, he had to focus on the present and resolve everything at hand before worrying about anything else.

"Shi Chongming, you've gone mad, but today you're the one who should die!" Shi Tianming shouted from the ground. He knew Shi Chongming wouldn't kill him, so he was still somewhat unrestrained.

"Junior brother, I think you're courting death!" Shi Chongming ignored Xu Yi and fired a water arrow at Shi Tianming.

Before Shi Tianming's shocked eyes, the water arrow pierced through his arm in an instant. Just like that, a cloud of blood mist suddenly exploded. Shi Tianming didn't even have time to react before he screamed. This was torture, indeed.

Shi Chongming wouldn't kill him because there was a prophecy stele here, so he wouldn't dare kill him. But Shi Chongming could make him suffer unbearable pain, make him wish he were dead. For example, this is the situation now. The explosion of an arm is enough to shut Shi Tianming up and stop him from speaking.

Xu Yi has recovered almost completely, and he has begun to exert his strength.

With the Rainbow Transformation Technique activated, Xu Yi transformed into a streak of light and vanished from his spot in an instant. Shi Chongming couldn't react at all. However, to prevent Xu Yi from launching a sneak attack, he cast a defensive spell, creating layers of massive earthen formations around his body.

Xu Yi was indeed looking for an opportunity. He didn't pay any attention to Shi Tianming. He now knew Shi Tianming's situation; he was not going to die. He had no choice but to fight back. Running away was impossible; he couldn't run away at all, or rather, there was no need to run away.

Xu Yi took the iron sword off his back and slashed at the rock formation.

In an instant, the rock and earth shield exploded, dust flew everywhere, the original defensive shield was long gone, and even the person hidden inside the shield had disappeared. Xu Yi's eyes were sharp, and he saw the trajectory of the dust as it was carried away at a glance.

Soon, Xu Yi turned around with his sword and swung it down.

With a snap, a bloody arm was severed.

However, Shi Chongming was a tough guy; he didn't utter a sound even after his arm was severed, which surprised Xu Yi.

It's important to know that the limbs of a Qi Refining cultivator cannot grow. If they fall off, they are truly gone and will never grow back.

"Master Shi Chongming is really tough!" Xu Yi praised. No matter what, this man still has some patience.

With a gloomy face, Shi Chongming disappeared into the shadows. This was his movement technique. Soon, a pair of large hands appeared in Xu Yi's shadow and reached out to grab Xu Yi's neck.

But who is Xu Yi? His perception of danger had long since been enhanced in a predictive way.

Just as the giant hand was about to get close, Xu Yi moved. He swung his longsword again, trying to cut off the black hand, but it didn't work as he wished.

The iron sword did not sever the black hand as Xu Yi had imagined; instead, it passed right through his body.

"Huh? This is interesting." Xu Yi was surprised. This situation had never occurred before. In his eyes, the iron sword was made of a very special material. Normally, Xu Yi had never made a mistake.

This is truly a one-of-a-kind event.

It seems that the legacy contained in the stone tablet is quite significant.

Xu Yi dared not be careless anymore; if he were, something bad might happen.

"Alright, Shi Chongming, you'd better watch carefully now!"
