Night fell again, and there were only two days left before the four progenitors could surround them.

Above the far northern forbidden zone, endless black mist surged, and four terrifying ancient auras crossed the void, constantly approaching the southern border. The oppressive feeling between heaven and earth grew stronger day by day.

The soul transmission of the Prison Abyss Ancestor once again entered Lin Ping's mind, carrying a sinister smile.

"Did you see that? Shen Aoxue's main soul has begun to go out of control. With just a slight fluctuation in her emotions, she almost completely possessed him."

"In two days, the three Primordial Ancestors will descend. The battlefield will be in chaos, leaving no time for me to spare. My wisp of main soul will then be able to completely devour her consciousness. At that time, the person you trust most will pierce your Dao heart with a single blow!"

"Even if you forcibly separate the main soul fragment now, you will crush it along with Shen Aoxue's own reincarnated soul, which is equivalent to killing your beloved with your own hands. Do you dare to do it?"

Lin Ping stood with his hands behind his back in the center of the courtyard, coldly responding through telepathic communication.

"Such a clumsy scheme, yet they dare to flaunt it."

"You bet that I couldn't bear to hurt Shen Aoxue, and that the four patriarchs could trap me by joining forces, but little do you know, I had already devised a foolproof plan."

"Two days from now, I will crush the four forbidden areas in front of you, strip away your divine soul and remnants, and completely end your ten-thousand-year plan."

The Prisoner Ancestor snorted coldly, his killing intent surging.

"Stubborn to the end! We'll see in two days!"

As the sound transmission dissipated, Lin Ping turned to look inside the room. Shen Aoxue was leaning against the window, gazing at the night sky. The white jade talisman around her neck glowed faintly, temporarily suppressing her remnant soul.

He walked slowly into the living room, and the three women looked at him at the same time.

"Is the malevolent energy outside even stronger?" Shen Aoxue asked softly.

"The three progenitors are accelerating their breakthroughs. The decisive battle will take place at noon in two days." Lin Ping sat down beside her, raised his hand and held her cold palm. "Tomorrow I will reinforce the outer protective array of the manor, so you don't need to worry."

Aru leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "Sir, I'd like to help you reinforce the formation tomorrow. I can help too."

Zhu Xiaohan nodded in agreement: "My ice magic can construct ice barriers and layer protective formations. Each additional layer of defense provides an extra layer of protection."

Shen Aoxue remained silent for a moment, then looked up at Lin Ping, a hint of unease hidden in her eyes.

"If I really lose control and hurt you in two days, you don't need to worry about me, just take action to suppress me directly."

Lin Ping tightened his grip on her hand, his gaze resolute.

"I will not harm you in the slightest. No matter what happens, I will protect your original consciousness."

After a peaceful night, as dawn broke the next day, Lin Ping got up and went to reinforce the outer defenses of the manor. Zhu Xiaohan accompanied him to assist, while Alu stayed in the courtyard to keep Shen Aoxue company.

The two walked to the edge of the back mountain of the manor. Zhu Xiaohan stopped and faced Lin Ping directly, no longer hiding her doubts.

"You no longer need to hide it. I've already guessed most of what happened with the fragment of the Prisoner's Abyss's main soul residing within Shen Aoxue's soul. The Prisoner's Abyss Ancestor is using her as a trump card, launching a pincer attack from both inside and outside in two days. How do you plan to deal with that?"

Golden light condensed at Lin Ping's fingertips as he carved ancient array patterns into the mountainside rock face. Without pausing, he spoke softly.

"Once the four primordial ancestors gather, on the battlefield, I will use the supreme golden light to peel away her remnant soul and preserve her own soul."

"But her remnant soul has been intertwined with her reincarnation origin for ten thousand years. Forcibly separating it would severely injure her." Zhu Xiaohan frowned. "If the four progenitors take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, you could easily fall into their trap if you are distracted."

"I know what I'm doing." After finishing the last array pattern, Lin Ping turned to look at Zhu Xiaohan. "The four ancestors may seem powerful, but in reality, they have long been shackled by time and are easily defeated. As for that wisp of the main soul, it has been dormant for ten thousand years, and today it should be completely ended."

Looking at his composed demeanor, Zhu Xiaohan felt a slight weight lifted from her heart. She raised her hand and activated the Ice Dao, where thousands of ice patterns overlapped on the ancient array patterns, forming a double defense.

"I will guard the back mountain, and I will stop the demons as soon as they launch a sneak attack."

When the two returned to the manor, the atmosphere in the courtyard was eerie.

Shen Aoxue sat alone on the stone bench, her eyes vacant. The white jade talisman around her neck was dim, and the blood-red remnant soul deep within her soul was stirring wildly in Lin Ping's absence, almost breaking through the talisman's suppression.

Alu's eyes reddened with anxiety, and she kept shaking Shen Aoxue's arm.

"Sister Shen, wake up! Don't scare me!"

Lin Ping strode forward, pointed his finger, and a massive amount of golden light surged into the white jade talisman. The talisman shone brightly again, and Shen Aoxue trembled all over, slowly regaining her senses with a blank look in her eyes.

"I think I just... lost consciousness."

"The power of the remnant souls is increasing as the three progenitors approach, and the suppressive power of the jade talisman is about to give way." Lin Ping stroked the surface of the jade talisman with his fingertips, his tone calm. "Tomorrow at noon will be the decisive battle, and then we will eradicate the hidden dangers once and for all."

Shen Aoxue gripped Lin Ping's sleeve tightly, her eyes filled with fear.

"I'm so scared, I'm afraid I'll hurt you."

Lin Ping reached out and pulled her into his arms, whispering words of comfort.

"Trust me, everything will be alright."

Zhu Xiaohan stood quietly to the side, silently preparing herself. If Shen Aoxue lost control, she would immediately take action to restrict her movements and prevent the remnant soul from harming Lin Ping.

Throughout the day, the malevolent aura over southern Xinjiang grew increasingly intense, casting a gray-black hue over the entire sky. The people in the city felt inexplicably panicked, unaware that danger was imminent.

The Crimson Supreme appeared in the sky from time to time, spreading panic and luring ordinary people to approach the black mist of evil energy, creating chaos and trying to distract Lin Ping. Every time it made a move, it was severely injured and forced to flee by a golden light from Lin Ping. After several such attacks, the Crimson Supreme's source was mostly depleted, and it no longer dared to show itself and provoke Lin Ping. It could only hide in the void rift and lie dormant for the rest of the time.

Night fell, and only one night remained until the final battle.

The four of them gathered in the living room, had a simple dinner, and none of them felt like resting.

Shen Aoxue stayed close to Lin Ping, afraid that she would lose control again, and her unease grew stronger.

Alu nestled on the other side, her little hands gripping Lin Ping's clothes tightly.

Zhu Xiaohan closed her eyes and regulated her breathing, pushing her ice cultivation to its peak, ready to face the four ancient ancestors at any time.

While comforting the two women beside him, Lin Ping deduced the overall plan for tomorrow's decisive battle.

On the front, the four progenitors led billions of demons from the Imprisoned Abyss to surround the manor; inside, Shen Aoxue's remnant soul awaited an opportunity to possess and devour it.

The double deadly trap seemed unsolvable to outsiders, but in his eyes, it was an excellent opportunity to wipe out all his ancient enemies in one fell swoop.

At midnight, a deafening roar echoed from the far northern forbidden zone. Three towering, malevolent auras that traversed the heavens surged into the sky, signaling the official breakthrough of the three ancient ancestors, who were rushing towards the southern border at breakneck speed.

The divine soul transmission of the Prison Abyss Ancestor came again, filled with frenzied pleasure.

"Lin Ping, the three progenitors have already set off and will arrive precisely at noon tomorrow! Your dead end is now complete!"

"Tomorrow you'll have to contend with the four progenitors on one hand, and guard against the backlash from your bedmate on the other. I'd like to see how you, the supreme lord, break this deadlock!"

Lin Ping looked up at the dark night sky, a flash of golden light disappearing from his eyes.

"Let's wait and see."

The night passed in the blink of an eye, and the sky began to lighten with the first light of dawn. The day of the decisive battle arrived as scheduled.

At noon, a fierce wind arose, and four layers of dark, malevolent clouds covered the southern border from all directions. The terrifying pressure of four ancient ancestors crushed the earth, and countless demons from the Prison Abyss roared, filling the sky and earth, completely surrounding the Wutong Manor.

From the void rift, the Crimson Supreme emerged, standing beside the Prison Abyss Ancestor, laughing wildly.

"Lin Ping, your end has come! The four Primordial Ancestors have gathered; today they will surely sever your supreme foundation!"

Inside the manor courtyard, the white jade talisman around Shen Aoxue's neck trembled violently, cracks spreading continuously. The blood-red remnant soul deep within her soul erupted completely, blood-red patterns spreading across her entire face, her eyes completely covered in scarlet, and the sinister laughter belonging to the Prison Abyss's main soul slowly emanated from her mouth.

"After ten thousand years of dormancy, today is your death day!"

Zhu Xiaohan instantly stood in front of Lin Ping, unleashing a burst of icy energy. Alu was so frightened that she gripped Lin Ping's arm tightly, her face filled with tension.

Lin Ping gently pushed Zhu Xiaohan aside, slowly stepped out of the manor, and faced the four primordial ancestors and billions of demons alone. Ancient golden light slowly rose around him, and his power crushed the darkness.

He first looked at the Prison Abyss Ancestor deep in the void, then turned his head to look at Shen Aoxue beside him, whose consciousness was suppressed by the remnant soul. His voice resounded throughout the entire southern border region.

"Four progenitors, a wisp of remnant soul, you meticulously orchestrated an eternal deadly trap, and today, you will all be annihilated here."

The Prisoner of the Abyss's shadowy form trembled, then burst into wild laughter: "How arrogant! Surrounded on all sides, with a deadly blade at your side, let's see how you turn the tables!"

Before the words were even finished, the four progenitors attacked simultaneously, unleashing four gigantic, pitch-black chaotic palms that crashed down on the Wutong Manor from four directions, with countless demons following closely behind, charging forward to kill them.

Shen Aoxue's eyes turned bloodshot, and with a flash, she appeared silently behind Lin Ping, holding a wisp of condensed blood-red soul blade. The tip of the blade was aimed directly at his back. This was the most fatal blow in the eternal scheme!
