After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

"The reason why Master Shiyan's immortal sword could easily cut through those chains is that Pixiu trusted Fairy Yaotai completely."

"She didn't put up any defense at all when faced with the Fairy of the Jade Terrace's sword."

Shi Yan's expression gradually became serious.

She recalled the small Pixiu statue she had seen on the outermost layer of the "Tai Xu Secret Realm".

It was clearly her grave.

Even the last statue was so unconventional.

She always seems to be mocking you, but the next second she'll devour you whole.

How should I put it... it actually suits her quite well.

Not only that, Shi Yan also recalled the time in the "Sword Tomb".

The little Pixiu looked forlorn as it touched the small horn on its head after realizing it needed a rare and precious material with the Kun (earth) attribute.

"Ah...what a pity...I've been dead for so, so long."

"It's a pity I didn't die here."

"Otherwise, we could go and dig it up."

A girl's forlorn appearance can make people feel sorry for her.

"So that's why I need to bring the little Pixiu to the 'Tai Xu Secret Realm'?" Shi Yan held Hua Xiangrong in his arms, his hand holding the girl's soft little hand unconsciously tightening.

However, he didn't pinch the girl too hard; he just made Hua Xiangrong feel at ease.

She even... wanted to snuggle closer to Shi Yan.

“Actually… if we only bring the ‘Soul of Exorcism,’ it’s already too late.” Yunyi’s words made Shi Yan’s expression suddenly turn very ugly.

"That human sacrifice a thousand years ago..."

"Even the Fairy of Yaotai tried her best, but she couldn't save that Pixiu."

"The little Pixiu of today... is more like the child of the Pixiu from a thousand years ago than the Pixiu from a thousand years ago."

"Her control over the 'Great Void Secret Realm' is limited."

"If it is a pure-colored mandala that has not yet escaped its predicament, she might still have a way to suppress it."

But now...

Yunyi recalled the Huale Tianmo, who was now able to move freely in the "Taixu Secret Realm," and thought, "That Huale Tianmo is on the verge of breaking free."

"..." Shi Yan fell silent.

She struggled to lift her head. "Even Yunyi can't do anything about her?"

Yunyi could only shake her head.

"The Demon of Huale has a very strange ability."

"No matter how strong the opponent is, she will always be a little stronger and stronger than them."

"The higher the cultivation level, the less effective you are at dealing with her."

“However, at the same time—” Yunyi looked at Shiyan, and Shiyan immediately understood what Yunyi meant.

She recalled her experiences in the Taixu Secret Realm.

indeed.

Although the power of the Demon of Huale was terrifying, it did not give him the same feeling of utter helplessness he had when facing Yunyi.

If such a celestial demon could force the divine beast beside Fairy Yaotai to sacrifice itself, then that would be far too weak.

If I can intercept the opponent with the blessing of the little Pixiu before the Pure Color Mandala escapes from the "Secret Realm of the Great Void", I might be able to turn the tide.

"In other words... there is still hope."

"Yes." Yunyi nodded gently. "Master Shiyan, please return to the Shi family quickly."

"Go and bring the little Pixiu here..."

“Perhaps… there will be a ‘surprise’.” Yunyi’s expression was quite strange.

"The Azure Lotus Sword Sect probably won't be able to hold out for much longer."

Inside the "Tai Xu Secret Realm," the Pure Color Mandala raged, its countless chains waving like a swarm of enraged black snakes on the earth.

The chains plowed into the sky, leaving dark scars on the clear, mirror-like surface.

"Loulan..."

"Loulan!!!" Pure Color Mandala recalled that annoying guy.

She looked at the face reflected in the clear, mirror-like sky... a face that, in Shi Yan's eyes, bore a resemblance to Jun Qianrou.

Angry...

The Pure Color Mandala wished she could tear that face off alive.

"You're going to get in my way while I'm alive!!!"

"Even after you're dead, you still dare to get in my way!!!"

The pitch-black chains pierced the sky again and again, and the entire "Tai Xu Secret Realm" seemed to tremble and teeter on the verge of collapse.

Countless demons were weeping.

Those with bad luck... were even pierced through the chest by chains, turning into a wisp of black smoke and dissipating.

"Let me fight my way out—"

"Let me slaughter through! Let me slaughter through! Let me slaughter through!!!"

The expression on the Pure Color Mandala gradually changed from fury to coldness.

She recalled Shi Yan's face, a smile playing on her lips as she licked them.

"Loulan..."

Did you see that?

The pure-colored mandala, like the grim reaper proclaiming the demise of all beings, spoke to itself, "You will fail—"

"This human world..."

"They will all become my food."

"Especially that girl..."

She inhaled the lingering fragrance of her teacher's words on her fingertips and hugged her shoulders tightly, almost obsessively.

The pure-colored mandala trembled with excitement, clutching its own skin tightly.

"ha..."

Her face was painted with a bright peach pink.

"ha..."

Besides the ability, as Yunyi said, to become stronger the stronger the opponent, Pure Color Mandala has another terrifying ability.

If she signs a demon contract, she can maximize her power based on the potential of the demon slave.

A thousand years ago... when she signed a contract with the Lord of Loulan.

She dared to fight even a celestial being who had fallen to the mortal realm.

A thousand years later... she recalls the girl who had just pierced her chest.

"I want her!!!"

"I want her!"

Every inch of my flesh and blood is screaming.

There's a premonition about the pure-colored mandala.

If she obtains that girl's power, she will dare to fight even the Great Free Heaven.

On what grounds?

Why should that hypocritical guy be able to keep stepping on her head?

She refused to accept it!

but--

before that.

The pure-colored mandala gazes up at the sky.

She needs to escape from this cage first.

After leaving this place, no one in this world can stop me.

Moreover... the Pure Color Mandala sensed the atmosphere outside the "Great Void Secret Realm".

Whom should I thank?

Someone actually brought over the [Central Corpse] that the Lord of Loulan had severed.

Although it's not as good as Shi Yan's body.

However... she can barely manage to unleash one-third of the power of the former Lord of Loulan.

Um--

Even a third of that would be enough to make her invincible in the world.

Chains flew wildly towards the sky.

Then--

Clang!
