I'm modifying myself into the ultimate demon.

Chapter 245 The Yin-Yang Mirror Appears, the Empress Makes Her Move!
Wow!

A gust of cold wind swept past, crossing countless ruins of Guiyuan City, and finally brushed against the faces of Chen Mo and Bai Yujing, causing their clothes to flutter.

The wind was hot, comparable to the midday heat.

As the sun climbed higher in the west, the temperature in Guiyuan City grew increasingly hot.

The ice and snow began to melt gradually.

Bai Yujing frowned. "The setting sun is reborn, and the sun rises in the west. This is a scene that violates the laws of nature. I'm afraid it's an ominous sign, and a catastrophe may be about to occur."

Although Bai Yujing did not know what this meant, he realized from the strange sights that it was something ominous.

Chen Mo didn't speak, but stood there, gazing at the gradually rising sunset. He watched as the sunset grew brighter and hotter.

As the sun climbed higher and higher, the temperature became very high, exceeding any normal temperature.

The ice and snow that had been frozen for many years began to show signs of melting over a large area.

Bai Yujing sensed something was wrong and spoke up, "Husband, the ice and snow in Guiyuan City are starting to melt. This is something that has never happened before. Moreover, the sun overhead is like a fireball; I don't know what changes are about to occur."

Chen Mo didn't explain anything, only saying, "Just stick close to me."

He deduced the Crimson Moon Mirror, elevating it to a level beyond its limits. He also deduced the Setting Sun Mirror, roughly knowing what would happen next.

Unfortunately, everything here was being monitored by the Empress, so Chen Mo had no way to speak out.

Bai Yujing nodded: "Mm."

Before long, the sun reached its zenith, high in the sky. Like a fireball, it radiated scorching light, burning the earth. The ice and snow covering Guiyuan City began to melt little by little.

"Walk."

Chen Mo called out, then transformed into a blur and dashed outside. Bai Yujing didn't say anything and followed him.

In an instant, two streaks of light raced outside Guiyuan City.

Wherever it went, the ice and snow on the ground melted, and the icicles covering the city walls also turned into water inch by inch.

The sun, like a fireball, was constantly raising the temperature.

Although the two were running, their eyes were scanning every change in their surroundings.

A startling fact has come to light: Guiyuan City is melting down on a large scale.

Previously, Guiyuan City was completely covered by ice and snow, and only the outlines of some buildings could be seen, not the whole city. Now, as the ice and snow continue to melt, the entire city of Guiyuan City is gradually becoming visible.

The two beams of light were moving faster and faster.

Following behind, Bai Yujing understood Chen Mo's thoughts more and more: he wanted to see clearly what Guiyuan City would look like after it manifested.

Bai Yujing himself also wanted to know what the original Guiyuan City looked like.

The two had traversed most of Guiyuan City in a very short time. Having roughly observed parts of the city, they were about to continue when they suddenly heard a loud bang.

Boom!

The ground shook violently, and the two almost lost their balance and were nearly thrown to the ground.

"What's going on?" Bai Yujing leaped onto the roof and looked ahead.

When Chen Mo arrived in front of Bai Yujing, he looked back. He saw that a huge crack had suddenly appeared in the ground in front of him. It was thousands of meters long and bottomless.

Immediately following, a scarlet light emanated from below the crack, and scorching heat surged forth. Shortly afterward, magma began to gush out.

Bai Yujing frowned. "How could there be lava? Isn't Guiyuan City an ice city? Could it be that there's a volcano beneath Guiyuan City?"

Chen Mo did not answer, staring intently at the crack below.

Poof!

Scalding lava continued to gush forth, flowing into the ground and engulfing many low-lying houses, causing massive fires.

Plop plop!

More and more magma surged from beneath the crack, until suddenly, with a deafening roar, two enormous scarlet hands emerged from the crack and gripped the earth.

Before long, the ground rumbled and a huge monster crawled out, letting out a hoarse, shrill cry.

Hey!
The strange creature was over ten meters tall, its entire body was fiery red, and it was composed entirely of magma.

With a long howl, the lava monster suddenly widened its glowing eyes and rushed towards Chen Mo and his companion.

"This is probably a demon!" Bai Yujing raised his hand and slashed, and a white, dazzling sword aura shot through the air, slashing fiercely at the fire monster.

Boom!

The whistling sword light swept in all directions, shattering the earth and unleashing a terrifying shockwave.

However, the fire monster was completely unaffected, its body incredibly robust. It charged directly towards the two, raising its hand to deliver a powerful punch, its body carrying terrifyingly hot magma as it surged forward.

Even though Chen Mo and his companion managed to dodge, the dozen or so houses around them were burned to ashes, leaving not even a trace.

This shows just how terrifying the temperature emanating from this fire monster was.

"Ow!"

The fire monster roared and turned to charge at Chen Mo and his companion once more. Its body was as strong as steel, and magma surged forth, melting everything in its path.

Bai Yujing and Chen Mo fought and retreated. Chen Mo did not make a move, but Bai Yujing unleashed a series of amazing sword energies. Most of these sword energies were blocked by the fire monster. Even if one or two sword energies cut through the fire monster's body, the fire monster would instantly recover.

It possesses the ability to regenerate indefinitely.

After several struggles, Bai Yujing's forehead was covered in cold sweat. "This monster's regenerative ability is too astonishing. If this continues, we'll be in trouble sooner or later."

Chen Mo remained silent and continued to retreat.

The two sides are locked in a stalemate.

The fire monster had the upper hand, with astonishing destructive power and regenerative abilities. However, its bulky body prevented it from catching up with Chen Mo and his companion.

The only downside was that the back-and-forth action took far too long.

One day, two days...

Three whole days have passed without us even realizing it.

For the next three days, Chen Mo and Bai Yujing were exhausted from running and fighting, being chased and beaten by the fire monster.

But the sun, high overhead, stopped moving and grew hotter and hotter.

Guiyuan City is continuously melting.

On the fourth day, another huge crack appeared in the ground. Lava gushed forth, and a second fire monster emerged from it, joining the hunt for Chen Mo and Bai Yujing.

The pressure on the two of them suddenly increased significantly, and they were finding it very difficult to cope.

Fortunately, I can grit my teeth and persevere.

Three more days passed.

A third fissure appeared in the earth, and a third fire monster emerged from the fissure to join the hunt.

The pressure is immense now.

Despite Chen Mo and Bai Yujing's best efforts, they were still unable to escape the siege of the three fire monsters and faced constant danger.

However, both of them are ascended immortals, possessing exceptionally strong vitality, and can withstand the drain.

Three days later, a fourth crack appeared, and a fourth fire monster rushed out.

The four fire monsters attacked Chen Mo and Bai Yujing together.

The situation has become extremely dangerous.

A full month later, ten fire monsters appeared.

They have gained an overwhelming advantage.

“Husband, this can’t go on. We’ll die here. Every three days a crack appears in the earth, and a fire monster emerges. As time goes by, more and more fire monsters will come out. And these fire monsters are invincible.”

"I know, let's get through this crisis first."

"it is good!"

……

Outside Guiyuan City, in the meditation room of the Taoist temple.

The empress, dressed in a bright red robe, sat beside the table, staring at the scene of Guiyuan City in the mirror, a playful smile on her face. "The great calamity of Guiyuan City has broken out. My plan is finally about to begin."

The woman in black also ran out and stared at the scene in the mirror.

Compared to the Empress's mockery, the woman in black's expression became noticeably grave. Her eyes widened, and she barely dared to breathe. She remained silent, silently chanting in her heart: "Chen Mo, Bai Yujing, you must hold on! If you can hold on this time, you'll have a chance to turn the tables."

Ha ha.

The Empress glanced at the woman in black, her face full of mockery, and said, "Are you getting anxious? Nervous and scared?"

The woman in black glared fiercely at the Empress, but said nothing, only staring intently at the scene in the mirror.

The Empress seemed quite pleased with the emotions displayed by the woman in black. "It's good that you're tense. But this won't last long. Soon, those two you're counting on will die inside. They'll die in the same way Jiang Chen did."

The woman in black seemed to recall something terrible; she pursed her lips but remained silent.

The Empress said, "Open your dog eyes and see clearly, there's not much hope left. Once these two people are dead, you'll have no hope left in this life. A person in despair is as good as dead. Isn't that right?"

The woman in black did not answer.

The Empress snorted and turned to stare at the scene in the mirror.

About a month has passed in the mirror.

Ten more fire monsters appeared.

The scene reflected in the mirror now showed twenty fire monsters attacking Chen Mo and Bai Yujing. The two were being beaten until they coughed up blood, and conspicuous wounds appeared on their bodies, turning them into blood-soaked figures.

Even worse, Chen Mo and Bai Yujing were already on the verge of death from the fire monster's attack and could die at any moment.

The Empress picked up her teacup with satisfaction, took a sip of tea, and said, "It seems the time is almost up. Twenty fire demons attacking the two of them together, even if they have spent ten years in the mirror and strengthened their cultivation with twin cultivation magic, they will eventually be unable to withstand it. Shadow, do you have anything to say?"

The woman in black stared at the mirror without saying a word.

The Empress said, "I have to admit that Chen Mo and Bai Yujing are very clever. Especially Chen Mo. He realized early on that he was in the Mirror of the Setting Sun and knew that I was monitoring them. So the two of them started showing affection in front of me and didn't communicate important matters. But it was no use. Jiang Chen couldn't escape the calamity, and Chen Mo can't escape it either. There is no other way but death."

The woman in black was getting a little exasperated. "Stop talking nonsense. It's not over yet."

The Empress sneered, "Not the final moment yet? You know perfectly well that Guiyuan City is the Remnant Sun Mirror. Ever since Jiang Hongyue told me the secret of the Remnant Sun Mirror, I've been to Guiyuan City many times, but I've never been able to find the Remnant Sun Mirror itself. I only know that the Remnant Sun Mirror covers Guiyuan City. Every ten years, a catastrophe will descend from within, killing everyone inside. Jiang Chen obtained the Remnant Sun Mirror back then, but he also died inside. It's clear that the Remnant Sun Mirror is far more terrifying than outsiders imagine. Even Jiang Chen, its former master, couldn't control the Remnant Sun Mirror."

The woman in black said, "So, you tricked Chen Mo and the others into coming here."

The Empress said, “Indeed. I have ruled this world for a hundred years, and apart from the Ghost Ship, nothing can threaten my existence. However, the existence of the Residual Sun Mirror and the Crimson Moon Mirror makes me uneasy. I must master these two peerless magical treasures to feel at ease and to resist the threat posed by the Ghost Ship.”

The woman in black said, "You want to use the Crimson Moon Mirror inside Chen Mo's body to find the Remnant Sun Mirror in Guiyuan City?"

The Empress said, "Initially, I did have this idea, but I don't trust Chen Mo. No, I should say I don't trust anyone but myself. So, I had no choice but to throw Chen Mo in. In this way, the Remnant Sun Mirror will melt the Red Moon Mirror inside Chen Mo's body, forming a combined Yin-Yang Mirror. I need to obtain the Yin-Yang Mirror to deal with the Ghost Ship."

The woman in black suddenly laughed: "But you've never seen a ghost ship."

The Empress said, "So what? You've seen it. I've seen your memories. I know how terrifying the ghost ship is."

The woman in black said, "You have no idea what the ghost ship means. It was just an infection, but it turned you into twin demons."

The Empress said confidently, "It's alright. I just need to get the Yin-Yang Mirror."

The woman in black said no more and stared at the mirror.

The Empress also stared at herself in the mirror.

The time outside is different from the time in Guiyuan City.

Before long, a month had passed in Guiyuan City, and thirty Flame Demons began to besiege Chen Mo and Bai Yujing.

Under the raging onslaught of the Flame Demon, Chen Mo and Bai Yujing died in a bloodbath.

The Empress's eyes widened instantly, staring intently at the scene in the mirror. She saw that Chen Mo and Bai Yujing were both dead.

The Crimson Moon Mirror within Chen Mo's body also appeared spontaneously, merging with Guiyuan City. Finally, it merged with the sun above Guiyuan City, forming a circular mirror resembling a Tai Chi symbol.

brush.

The Empress suddenly stood up, her eyes showing a rare excitement. "The Yin-Yang Mirror! This is the Yin-Yang Mirror! The Yin-Yang Mirror has appeared!"

Upon seeing the scene in the mirror, the woman in black let out a mournful cry, followed by spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Hahaha, my plan has succeeded. The Yin-Yang Mirror that Jiang Hongyue mentioned has actually appeared."

The empress suddenly let out an extremely unrestrained laugh.

"In that case, it's my turn to take the stage. I've retrieved the Yin-Yang Mirror from Guiyuan City. From now on, this entire world, this vast universe, belongs to me. Even the Ghost Ship might not be able to harm me. Haha."

With that, the Empress waved her hand, and the woman in black vanished.

The next moment, the empress vanished from the room.

When they reappeared, they had already entered Guiyuan City.

At this moment, Guiyuan City is still inhabited by thirty fire demons, who have the ability to destroy the city. The entire Guiyuan City has become a living hell, with lava and fire everywhere, and there is not a single clean place.

The Empress paid no attention to any of that, focusing only on the Yin-Yang Mirror floating in mid-air.

The Empress's eyes burned with fervor. "The Yin-Yang Mirror, I've finally waited for you."

brush.

The Empress stepped forward, appearing before the Yin-Yang Mirror. She took the mirror in her hand, stroked it lightly, and then let out a hearty laugh: "The greatest treasure in this world has finally come into my hands. Chen Mo and Bai Yujing, you two are truly my lucky stars. And you, Jiang Hongyue, I should also thank you."

The Empress took the Yin-Yang Mirror and was about to leave when she suddenly stopped, her brows furrowed.

because……

The surrounding scenery is changing.

Not long after...

In addition to the scorching sun hanging high overhead, a red moon also appeared in the sky.

The sun and moon rise together, shining brightly in each other.

A red palace appeared on the land ahead.

Three large characters are written at the entrance of the palace: Red Moon Palace.
