"So that's how it is..."

Old Jin sighed.

In the past, he always felt that his schemes and strategies were passable. Perhaps not very strong, but combined with his strength, it should have been enough.

But now it seems, this time he indeed miscalculated. Although he won, if he didn't kill Zhao Xuan, there would always be a thorn in his heart that couldn't be removed.

However, reaching this point, saying words of regret is meaningless.

He turned around, wanting to say something to Yun You, to slightly ease the little girl's feelings... to say that she might still have a chance for revenge in the future...

But before he could speak, he saw a scarlet figure rush out.

Undoubtedly, it was Yun You.

Yun You, who had activated the Red Scale Giant Blade.

Yun You didn't care about the characteristics of the Summoning Secret Technique, nor did she care about future matters.

She only knew one thing.

Her last enemy, and the true culprit, was now right in front of her.

She couldn't let Zhao Xuan escape, even if it meant giving up everything, exhausting her life, she had to kill this damned hypocrite.

Maybe Zhao Xuan had ten thousand reasons to slaughter, and ten thousand reasons to exonerate himself.

But Yun You needed only one reason to kill him.

And that was revenge for her blood relatives.

"You..."

Noticing Yun You in an instant, Zhao Xuan's pupils shrank slightly, as if sensing the unusual aura on the little girl.

"You are the survivor from that district?"

Yun You did not answer, only swung her blade with all her might, striking Zhao Xuan's azure Soul.

"But how is this possible?"

Zhao Xuan ignored the Red Scale Blade, knowing that no matter what, it couldn't harm him. So he just murmured to himself, "At the time, you were nothing more than a mere mortal, how could you escape my Perception Ability?"

"As long as one is human, with human blood flowing within, it is impossible to escape my perception."

"Moreover, how can you have so much of the Celestial Kui Blessing? No less than thirty percent... this... this is simply unbelievable!"

"I wondered why I was missing so much of the Initial Sequence, causing me to be stuck at the Quasi-God realm unable to advance further; it turns out, the problem was all due to you..."

"What a pity..."

Zhao Xuan shook his head, helplessly saying, "Now I have no way to obtain that missing part of the Celestial Kui Blessing from you, but it's okay..."

"We will meet again someday."

"By then, little one, let me see if you have the ability to seek revenge on me."

After he spoke, his Spirit Body soared into the sky.

Yun You nearly gritted her teeth into pieces, desperately swung her blade at the blue Sur Particles, but ultimately, no matter how she slashed, she couldn't affect Zhao Xuan.

Seeing this...

Everyone from Old Jin's group to Master Zero remained silent.

Each of them knew that Yun You had exerted her full strength.

But sometimes, a task cannot be accomplished just by trying one's best.

The realm and power of a Quasi-God had already surpassed Yun You's range of abilities, she couldn't kill a Quasi-God, it was as simple as that.

However, Yun You was unwilling to accept this, and she couldn't wait any longer.

Whether in soul or body, they urged her that she must... must kill Zhao Xuan, without any more delay.

The desire for revenge had completely overshadowed her reason.

So...

Yun You steeled her heart and summoned her Dragon Gun.

"Without Sacrifice, the Dragon Gun can unleash a full strike of a Tier Four Death God."

"If internal organs are Sacrificed, then the power of this strike can reach Tier Five."

"But what if more organs were Sacrificed? If all five viscera and six bowels and all the blood were dedicated to the Dragon Gun?"

Yun You continued to ponder this possibility in her mind.

[That would only elevate the Dragon Gun's power to Tier Six, similar to the Karma Remnant Buddha,]

Master Zero sighed helplessly, softly explaining...

[Maybe you could gravely injure that guy, but... honestly, Yun You, it's really hard for you to kill him right now]

[This is already the best you can offer]

Master Zero understood Yun You's character, aware that this little girl was not one to turn back until hitting a wall, so it wouldn't directly advise Yun You against her actions, but its words implicitly suggested calmness.

Yet at this point, how could Yun You calm down?

She simply wouldn't consider the consequences or gains and losses, because avenging those four had become everything in her life.

All her actions up to now had been to fulfill this singular goal.

Thus, she would only consider how to accomplish the goal. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Everything? No no no, that's far from enough."

Yun You closed her eyes.

"Blood, internal organs, skin, bones."

"Besides that... I still have... a Soul!"

"If I Sacrifice my Soul along with everything else, could this strike... slay a God?!!"

Master Zero was stunned, able to sense the madness in the girl's bones, the kind capable of entirely consuming both enemy and herself.

It didn't know what to say, but Yun You took its silence as acquiescence.

So, she took a deep breath, preparing to Sacrifice all she had to the Dragon Gun.

However, just at this moment...

"..."

Everything around, all the things, stopped.

No, to be precise, it was time.

Time halted.

The starry sky over the Great Colosseum no longer twinkled, the thundering cheers came to an abrupt halt, and people like Old Jin and Jiang Wuji, who wanted to stop Yun You, also froze mid-air.

Even Yun You herself, and Zhao Xuan, the Quasi-God about to leave the Great Colosseum and return to Supreme Heaven, were halted.

The only thing that could move was probably Yun You's thoughts.

But before she could ponder, a soft voice floated by her ear.

"Stop wasting your energy."

"Let me handle the upcoming matters. After all... I did take your 'candy'~ hehehe..."

For some reason, Yun You felt this voice sounded very familiar, like she had just heard it somewhere not too long ago.

And soon...

She thought of someone.

"Could it be..."

Yun You's eyes widened.

In the next moment, time remained stagnant, but only Yun You and Zhao Xuan regained movement.

Zhao Xuan's face still held that indifferent yet confident smile as his soul collided headlong with the dome of the Supreme Heaven Purification Field!

Crash——!

In an instant, the dome shattered, and a hint of relief appeared in Zhao Xuan's eyes.

He thought that as long as he broke through the dome, he could return to the Supreme Heaven world that accommodated souls.

And everything seemed to be progressing normally as the dome collapsed with a boom, revealing a pitch-black world for Zhao Xuan to pass through.

Yet when Zhao Xuan truly entered it, he suddenly found...

The world before his eyes didn't seem to be that familiar Supreme Heaven.

Instead, it was darkness.

At the same time, the space beneath Yun You's feet also shattered.

Unable to stabilize herself, she fell into it, arriving at the dark world just like Zhao Xuan.

Black, boundless black, wrapped around all things like a curtain, making it hard for one to breathe.

But this situation didn't last long.

In just a few breaths, the black curtain slowly lifted, and the void, too, was slowly torn apart.

"Crash——!"

A Bronze Gate hidden in the darkness suddenly opened, devouring the darkness with its light, taking in all things!

A spiral staircase grew and unfolded slowly, each circle forming new loops and forks.

Corridors and endless bookshelves formed around the spiral staircase, constantly extending upward and outward.

Countless books piled on the shelves, each exuding an ancient and profound aura.

This was another infinite space, different from the Supreme Heaven Purification Field and the real world, a fantasy materialized world beyond all eras.

Its name was the [Cosmic Library].

In the eyes of some top-tier Death God powerhouses, perhaps this place was the origin of the world.

And in one corner of the library, Yun You saw a familiar figure, a white-haired girl with a stunning face.

Deng.

She sat comfortably in a redwood armchair, gazing at Zhao Xuan and Yun You with interest, as if... she had been waiting for the two of them for quite some time.
