After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

He struggled to his feet, rubbed his sore arm, and looked up—

I was instantly dumbfounded.

All around was a dark red sky, as if someone had splashed a whole basin of blood onto the heavens, so thick it couldn't be dissolved.

The whole world was gloomy, filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.

The ground was riddled with cracks, from which magma gurgled and bubbled. But the color of the magma was wrong.

It wasn't a normal crimson or orange-yellow, but pitch black, viscous like blood, looking like black blood that had gone purulent, and emitting a nauseating stench.

The air was thick with pure demonic energy, so dense it was almost impenetrable. Lin Fengmian felt a violent tremor in his mind after just one breath.

It felt as if countless icy hands were tearing at his soul, and a violent, murderous desire surged from the depths of his heart, almost overwhelming his reason.

He quickly activated the "Great Sun Pagoda Technique," circulating pure Yang energy throughout his body, which barely managed to keep the demonic energy out.

This place is actually inside the Demon Abyss!

It's the sealed area at the core of the demon race!

"I've fucking walked straight into the gates of hell!"

Lin Fengmian's heart sank.

Before he could even finish observing his surroundings, a vast, ancient, and endlessly tempting evil will, like countless icy hands, suddenly burrowed into his sea of ​​consciousness!

That will was as vast as an abyss, as cold as a prison, carrying an indifference that looked down upon ants, yet it was full of bewitching magic.

"A tiny human insect..."

The deep, demonic voice exploded directly into the depths of his soul, as if it could see through all his thoughts, all his memories, and all his desires.

"Are you in pain? Are you in despair? Do you want power?"

"Only by opening your mind and accepting my gift... can you break through the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation realms, and even higher realms with a flick of your finger!"

"You will rule over all of humanity; no one will be able to control your destiny anymore!"

The Demon Lord's Will?!

He's the real big boss!

Lin Fengmian felt his scalp tingle and the hairs on his body stand on end!

Immediately afterwards—

Countless images flashed before his eyes.

He found himself standing atop the Xuanling Continent, his robes fluttering, his hand waving as mountains and rivers changed color and the sun and moon lost their light.

Chu Qingyi stood beside him, dressed in red, her eyes smiling as she looked at him tenderly.

Nangong Li sat on his other side, her long legs in black stockings crossed, her cold and beautiful face showing a tenderness that she only showed to him.

Yun Caiyue, carrying a bowl of hot soup, walked over with a smile and called him "Brother Fengmian".

Zhao Yun'er, dressed in the holy maiden robes of the Five Poisons Sect, shyly took his hand.

Wen Rushuang appeared before him at some point, her red lips slightly parted, her eyes sparkling...

Chu Qingyi, Honglian, Yun Caiyue, Zhao Ling'er, Su Zhenzhen, Gongsun Mili, Gongsun Chan'er, Gu Qingge, Cang Yuwei, Su Miaoyun, Wen Rushuang... all the women he cared about and the beauties he cherished were by his side, smiling radiantly, enjoying a harmonious and joyful time together.

He even saw himself ascend to the Spirit Realm and find Nangong Li again!

Countless fairies were captivated by him and submitted to him; he was surrounded by beauties and held absolute power in the realm.

Power, authority, and beauty—everything a man dreams of is within reach.

"You have begun to grasp the essence of this world, and are qualified to become my demon general... Help me break this seal and share this world with me!"

"All of this is yours!"

The voice was mesmerizing, penetrating to the very depths of his soul, each word striking precisely the softest, most yearning part of his heart.

Lin Fengmian's soul was already unstable, and at this moment his mind was violently shaken, and his eyes instantly became unfocused.

His hand, as if it were not under his control, rose up on its own, trembling, and slowly reached out towards the weakest point of light in the seal he sensed...

The fingertips drew closer and closer...

With just a light touch, he can gain supreme power and possess all of this!

"No!!!"

Just before his fingertips were about to touch it, Lin Fengmian suddenly bit his tongue!

The excruciating pain brought him to his senses for a moment!

The faces of all the beauties flashed through his mind like lightning.

Chu Qingyi's proud yet contradictory demeanor, Nangong Li's blood-soaked back as he shielded him from a sword, Yun Caiyue's trusting eyes, and Zhao Yun'er's resolute act of drawing away enemies for him in the secret realm...

And Wen Rushuang, that last smile.

"I, Lin Fengmian!"

He let out a wild, beast-like roar, his eyes turning bloodshot:

"Even if I die here, I will never become a demon!!!"

"No matter how beautiful the illusion, it's still fake! I will walk my own path!!!"

"Whoosh—!"

Lin Fengmian forcefully pulled his hand back, staggering back several steps!

"court death!!!"

The Demon Lord was enraged, and a terrifying pressure crashed down like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down!

From all directions, countless demonic creatures, corrupted by demonic energy and distorted in form, shrieked and surged forward like a tidal wave!

"Damn it, I'll risk it!"

Lin Fengmian's eyes turned red, and he didn't hesitate for a moment longer.

Blood Burning Curse, activate!

The last remaining Bloodthirst Pill, swallow it!

All attack talismans in the storage ring —

Thunder talismans, fire talismans, and explosion talismans were scattered out like they were free!

"Boom! Rumble—!!"

Thunder roared! Blazing flames engulfed the heavens! The violent spiritual energy exploded into chaotic bursts of light and flame in the Demon Abyss, blasting the attacking demons into pieces and temporarily forcing back the siege of the Demon Lord's will and the demons.

"Blood Escape Technique—!!"

Lin Fengmian roared, his blood essence burning fiercely, and he transformed into a fierce blood-red rainbow, desperately fleeing towards the general direction of the Land of Annihilation in his memory!

escape!

We have to escape!

Behind them, the Demon Lord's roar shook their very souls, and countless demons pursued relentlessly, a dark, overwhelming mass that blotted out the sky.

The demonic energy was frantically eroding his body, and the seductive voice kept drilling into his brain, trying to break his will.

"Stay...stay...you belong here..."

Lin Fengmian's seven orifices began to bleed, his vision blurred, and his consciousness was like a candle flickering in the wind, as if it would be extinguished at any moment.

He held on by sheer grit and determination, like a sea king!

After all, this place of spiritual desolation is a dead end.

It was Empress Su Miaoxue who, by her own body, supported half of the sky.

He, Lin Fengmian—

We must not let her efforts be wasted, we must not let the sky she built collapse in our hands!

"No! I must survive!"

A fierce instinct stemming from life itself, mixed with numerous concerns and reluctance, allowed Lin Fengmian to resist the temptation.

next moment--

The Azure Emperor's Longevity Technique operates on its own, and the vitality within his body flows continuously.

Just after Lin Fengmian's life force rapidly recovered—

A sliver of light suddenly pierced through the distorted air ahead.
