Although they didn’t understand, everyone knew that the other party had no intention of showing gratitude, and sighs lingered in their hearts.

Xu Yuan moved.

The target was Tian Yuxue.

Now the Chief of the Internal Minister’s Office of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, she had been loyal to the mansion for nearly a century, a peculiar woman who could never get along with that sister Lou Ji.

After pinpointing the landing point of Xu Yuan’s ethereal step, Marquis Wucheng, like a shadow, rushed to intercept him before his reappearance.

At the moment Xu Yuan appeared,

Tian Yuxue, as a Saint Master, had already activated her spellcraft, with a pair of beautiful eyes, glimmering with an enchanting hue.

Chaos Embryo.

A pupil skill that could disrupt the opponent’s internal Origin Qi in an instant.

It almost struck the approaching Prime Minister Mansion Master simultaneously with Marquis Wucheng’s punch wind.

But this time,

Marquis Wucheng saw a scene that shocked him to the core.

When he shattered Xu Yuan’s body,

The fragments of flesh and blood didn’t turn into black smoke and eventually reform into a human shape as before, but instead scattered directly in all directions.

Crimson blood, shattered bone fragments, and scattered flesh splattered like a rainstorm on Tian Yuxue’s body...

Then,

They began to soak into Tian Yuxue’s clothes, rapidly forming lines on her skin’s surface, connecting into a network, as if a blood-flesh molded ’Iron Maiden’ enveloped her within.

The unforeseen sight caused Marquis Wucheng to freeze momentarily, but his battle-hardened instincts told him he had to quickly disperse and break this blood-flesh cage wrapping around Tian Yuxue.

Yet as his punch wind just reached, Tian Yuxue, along with that indescribable mass of flesh and blood, vanished.

Is this.... Void Flash?!

Almost in an instant, Marquis Wucheng deduced what had transpired.

Xu Changtian had invaded Tian Yuxue’s body, utilizing her internal meridians’ Origin Qi to operate the Void Flash.

He deliberately chose Tian Yuxue, knowing the cultivation physique and spellcraft types of all at his disposal as the Prime Minister Mansion Master.

He knew Tian Yuxue couldn’t resist this method.

And knew, Tian Yuxue’s meridians could perform Void Flash.

An endless urgency welled up, and Marquis Wucheng flickered swiftly through the world like a demon god, chasing after the terrifying blood cocoon.

Until,

Boom!!!!!!!!!!!

A thunderous roar erupted, spreading a boundless storm outward.

Marquis Wucheng finally pierced through the now sealed blood cocoon, revealing eyes that no longer belonged to Tian Yuxue within.

It was a pair of crazed phoenix eyes.

The aura of the Great Yan Han King instantly overflowed!

The deep-seated craving for flesh and blood almost drove Xu Yuan to madness, but only for a moment, a faint golden glow emerged in the crazed, bestial eyes.

That was the legacy left by the Heavenly Will within him.

The ferocity was gradually suppressed, replaced by the spreading divinity.

"Buzz————"

The blood cocoon shattered, revealing the sinister scene beneath.

Countless bizarre tendrils extended from Xu Yuan’s palm, stabbing into the now barely alive Tian Yuxue.

Numerous magnificent blood jade crystals rapidly coalesced.

Each one exuded a dreadful power.

Spellcraft, Nameless.

The supreme spell recorded in the Blood Essence Meteoring Art now manifested en masse in the world.

...

...

In the silent stillness, no one dared act rashly.

The devouring continued,

Gulp...

Gulp...

The grinding conveyance sound emanated from the tendrils, and with each sound, a part of Tian Yuxue’s ample body would deflate, corresponding to the expansion of the Life and Death Domain due to the influx of Origin Qi.

Everyone watched Xu Yuan with eyes as if seeing a monster, this was a spell yet unknown to anyone, a monstrosity capable of savagely devouring others without backlash from repulsive illnesses.

Paying no mind to these gazes, Xu Yuan glanced at his body with pale golden shining eyes, full of helplessness and resolve.

He could feel his emotions rapidly draining away, an irreversible process.

Because only this way,

Could he suppress that ever-growing craving from devouring others, to prevent himself from becoming a world-devouring monster.

In the end,

He would become the next Tian...

But this way, he had broken the stalemate.

The Saints present would all become his nourishment, based on this pace, devouring another dozen or so Saints would allow him to completely break through beyond the Saints’ level.

By then, everything would end.

Marquis Wucheng acted again, along with everyone present, but facing this overwhelming spellcraft, Xu Yuan directly closed his eyes, offering no resistance.

With abundant Origin Qi, any attack was meaningless to him, Void Flash would passively activate due to others’ Origin Qi, and only sustained area spells could harm him, yet they would be restored due to the characteristics of the Life and Death Domain.

Once Tian Yuxue in his grasp was fully devoured, there would be another.

Urgent discussions and angry accusations echoed incessantly in his ears, and panic began to rise among everyone present.

These noises were somewhat noisy.

In these final moments as a ’human,’ Xu Yuan shut off his senses, silently feeling the constantly fleeting emotions within.

Recalling scene after scene from his mind, experiencing all the joyful and awful emotions within these memories.

Love.

Hatred.

Emotion.

Anger.

He cherished these feelings as proof of him being human, gradually becoming blurred.

Until,

"Slap!"

It was a slap that resounded through heaven and earth.

Xu Yuan was baffled.

What was happening?

Were these Dayan dignitaries slapping him?

Humiliating him?

But what meaning did it have?

He instinctively opened his eyes, a trace of annoyance flashed in his magnificent golden eyes, disturbed.

But what he saw,

Were equally angry azure-golden eyes, almost spitting fire.

Xu Yuan touched the quickly fading swelling on his face.

Then,

"Slap!"

Another slap resounded across the sky.

This time, Xu Yuan didn’t rub his cheek, opened his mouth slightly.

Then Xu Yuan finally realized what was happening, looked around, and saw a vast blue icy sea.

Everything was frozen.

Spellcraft, Dao Domains, the process of devouring, even time.

In the sky, the girl in black remained unchanged.

Seeing him look over, Ran Qingmo’s dark eyes showed, for the first time, a murderous anger.

Further in the sky,

Tian Ye, enchanting like a flower, was confronting those Great Demons, she said with a smile to them:

"I’m just here to watch like you, though, after you kill him, I might take action to avenge him, oh~"

And in the distance from the Realm of Nothingness created by the Fallen Sun, splendid halos were continuously overflowing, several dozen Saints who stood at the peak of the world were already embroiled in battle.

The Sword Saint, as white as snow.

Bi Wang, with flowing green robes.

And those two Enchanting Demons, one large and one small.... 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Including his grandfather, the female constable Xu Mengxi who always wanted to arrest him....

But at this moment, without exception, they were being besieged by Saints ten times their number.

Marquis Wucheng had also gone to their side.

The powerful might of the Military Formation and countless advanced Array Pattern Weapons, in just a few breaths, had the direct lineage, including Feng Jiuxuan, covered in blood.

This scene pierced Xu Yuan’s heart like a needle.

Angry emotions began surging in his heart.

Li Qingyan.....

The only person who could cause the current situation, Xu Yuan thought of that foolish woman who never listened to him, always having her own ideas.

Did she think that these people only studied his spellcraft?

Did she think that this way they could retreat safely?

Xu Yuan took a deep breath:

"You all...."

"Slap!"

Tianyan gave him another slap.

Xu Yuan’s eyelid twitched, he shouted angrily:

"Aren’t you done yet...."

Before he finished speaking,

Suddenly, the horizon erupted in turmoil.

With Xu Yuan’s vision,

He saw a white-robed general charging first into the Camp Mansion of the Imperial Court army, constantly disrupting the foundation of Marquis Wucheng’s Military Formation.

Killing while laughing maniacally with excitement.

He forcefully seized command from Zong Qingsheng, far from the camp, using the Military Formation Technique, leading the troops from the Black Scale Camp to charge toward the almost undefended Imperial Court camp.

Seeing this, veins bulged on Xu Yuan’s forehead.

Yuan Hao was here,

The coastal corps were abandoned?

But....

[In the future, perhaps more people will stand behind you....]

The setting sun blood-red, Xu Yuan, looking at the surrounding battlefield, was dazed for a moment, inexplicably recalling the words of an old man before his passing, he casually halted the process of devouring Tian Yuxue, muttered helplessly:

"Until all of you are gone, I will perform as I did back then, why must it be this way?"

As these words fell,

The Profound Black Dragon Robe, that ruled the world, had already teleported to the center of the battlefield, his voice resounding through heaven and earth:

"Defying the orders, after this battle, be prepared to be punished."
