The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

The invasion of demonic energy is absolutely fatal to cultivators.

Chi Miao wasn't actually careless in falling for the attack; she even completely controlled Ming Ye with her own consciousness, rendering him unable to move.

She had been observing Mingye's every move, but when Mingye mobilized his demonic energy, he made no sound at all, pretending to be bullied to death by her.

This is what led to the current situation.

At this moment, her sea of ​​consciousness was almost completely eroded by the dark purple demonic energy, filling all the surrounding space.

Her head was throbbing with pain; the demonic energy felt like thousands of insects gnawing at her.

She gritted her teeth, quickly sat cross-legged, and summoned her Star Core.

"There's no other way. I know you can't eat anymore, but if I die, you'll have to find another master."

"You'd better think this through. I'm so talented and beautiful. If I survive, you'll definitely rise to prominence and enjoy great success along with me."

"If I die... you'll be hoping that the Tantric sect will find you that holy maiden, but let me tell you... don't expect any holy maiden to be more talented than me. I... am an unparalleled genius! When it comes to talent, I'm the best!"

She's an extraordinary woman, how could anyone else compare to her?

Hopefully, this Starry Void Core will be sensible and give us some support. At this critical juncture, if she dies, it won't get away with it either!

The Starry Void Core seemed to realize the seriousness of the situation and finally exerted its power again, slowly beginning to devour and transform the demonic energy.

Although the process was slow... what Chi Miao actually wanted was not to finish absorbing the Starry Sky Core.

Instead... she should accumulate enough power to break through to the Golden Core stage in one fell swoop!

Ideally, we should trigger a lightning tribulation so that she can be purified and reborn during the tribulation!

While gritting her teeth... she noticed some strange and beautiful patterns appearing on her head.

Gou Shi System: "Why do I feel... this demonic energy is somewhat familiar?"

The moment Chi Miao came into contact with the demonic energy, it felt a particularly strong sense of familiarity with this substance.

But it couldn't explain why it felt so familiar.

But its intuition told it that once it remembered why it was so familiar with demonic energy, it would be able to help Chi Miao escape danger!

What exactly is the reason?

What is it?!

……

the other side.

Mingye arrived at the depths of Chi Miao's sea of ​​consciousness.

He was initially excited, but upon arriving here, he felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, making it even more difficult for him to breathe, as if it were a comprehensive suppression from his soul and bloodline.

Mingye was stunned: "Suppress me? How is that possible..."

Only higher-level demons can suppress the demon race!

But as one of the ten candidates for Demon King, as long as the Demon King does not appear, he will be one of the ten noblest demons!

Not to mention that his strength ranks among the top ten candidates, just one point... none of the ten substitutes can suppress each other.

Only the Demon King can suppress them!

But this is a human's sea of ​​consciousness! Deep within a human's sea of ​​consciousness, he was merely approaching and did not sense any other aura, so why did he feel suppressed?

"Hmph! No matter what secrets you're hiding, I can tell at a glance! You won't escape today!"

Having said that, he went even further.

The place where he could draw upon the primordial soul was right there, yet he was repelled by an invisible force!

Mingye was stunned; this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

illusion?

He tried to ram forward again, but the result was the same.

Suddenly, he grasped a ball of demonic flame in his hand: "Since ordinary methods won't work, let's destroy them by force. They're just going to die anyway..."

Having said that, he was about to attack the barrier in front of him.

But at that moment, the surrounding colors suddenly turned black!

Then, an even more terrifying and intense pressure came crashing down upon us!

A dark red light converged in one place and shone on a beautiful woman.

The woman was covered in blood and wounds! Her aura was mysterious, complex, powerful, and terrifying!

Her long hair was scattered all around her, and she was bound by thick iron chains engraved with forbidden runes, trapping her in place and unable to leave. The slightest movement would cause the chains to rattle and clang.

Mingye immediately knelt down, his mind blank, his pupils shrinking sharply: "What...what is this thing? What's going on?!"

He actually knelt down without any warning, from the bottom of his soul!

He tried his best to see who the woman in front of him was.

Finally, the woman raised her head!

That is—!

The woman's face was breathtakingly beautiful, covered with wounds of varying sizes, yet her skin was as smooth as jade. Her face bore an unmistakable resemblance to Chi Miao, almost identical!

But she is not Chi Miao...

She was bound and sealed by a mysterious force, a force far beyond his comprehension and beyond his reach!

Even so, the woman still exuded an aura that suggested she was not to be trifled with.

"Who is this person...?"

"Who on earth is this person?!"

How could it be... this powerful?

Could this be a deity?!

A celestial being resides in Chi Miao's sea of ​​consciousness?!

How is this possible?!

Just then, the woman's gaze turned towards him, and Mingye knew that he had been seen through at a glance.

Disgust appeared in the woman's eyes.

Surprisingly, she didn't say "get out," but instead walked step by step, bound by the chains.

Her bare feet were covered in blood with every step she took.

As she approached, Mingye momentarily lost the ability to breathe, and a warning instinctively appeared in his mind!

The person before me is inviolable! Invincible! Inviolable!

escape!escape!escape!

But he was completely unable to move.

Until the woman raised her hand, a transcendent power purified him, freezing his entire body in place.

This power... is actually somewhat similar to the origin of the demon race?!

No… Rather than similar, it’s more accurate to say that the Demonic Origin is a fraction of this power, extracted from it.

His mind went blank for a moment, and he suddenly remembered the murals in their demon temple.

Then, his eyes fixed on the woman, shifting from fear to awe, then to respect and fervor:

"Mother... Mother?"

The woman withdrew her power, closed her eyes, and tears of blood flowed out.

Then, she uttered a single word: "Get out."

The single word "get lost" seemed to possess the power to destroy the world, directly causing Mingye's consciousness to dissipate within Chi Miao's sea of ​​consciousness.

The woman opened her eyes again.

She looked down at the chains binding her, her eyes icy cold.

After a long silence, she finally uttered a single word: "...a sin."

Then, the giant hammer in the sky continued to hammer nails, striking her body.

Yama's Curse...

Eternal torment.

Everything is a sin, a sin of the common people.
